Chapter 3 The Guide to the Upper Realm
After putting down the child in his arms, Yan Li frowned. He didn't pay attention just now and found out that the child was in a state of fear that the Yang Shen was unstable, and his soul and two spirits actually left his body, which was a little troublesome.
There is only one statue of the god in the broken Taoist temple, but the statue is scattered with cigarettes, a gourd around its waist, and flip-flops under its feet. Whether it is facial features or decorations, they are carved in accordance with Yan Li's own appearance.
Yan Li bowed to his statue of god three times, then picked up a pen and talisman paper from the incense table. Although it is better to seek God than to seek God, the Creation of Heaven and Earth that he offered himself to worship every day may be just this one.
"The sky is round and the place is full, and the rhythm is nine chapters. I will write now and my soul will be hidden!"
After Fu Cheng, Yan Li folded it up and put it on the child's body. He untied the red gourd and placed it on the table and then walked into the side room. The sound of playing mahjong inside was in full swing.
One man has a pure scarf on his head, with thin body and two beards, which are quite like a hermit master. The other man has a hideous face and wears a nine-rail crown like an ancient emperor. The third one is a golden monk with kind eyebrows, big belly and a circle of merit on the back of his head. The last one is a white-bearded old man with a long-lived face.
"Why are you here? I can't invite you guys to this little bit of incense."
Yan Li clearly knew these four people, all of whom were famous mythological figures. The Heavenly Master Zhang Daoling, the Ten Palaces of Yama Rotation King Xue, Maitreya Buddha, and the birthday star. There are four true gods in this broken Taoist temple.
"It's not because of you. Now the gods and Buddhas in the sky are counting on you for support, but the incense you have collected for two years can't even afford to support a low-ranking immortal..." Zhang Daoling said.
"Yes, so Your Majesty sent me to ask what's going on." The old birthday star touched a card from the pile of cards and smiled happily.
Under normal circumstances, Yan Li would never play mahjong with these people. His master, King Rotary, took out six 30,000 cards, commonly known as Blossom on the Bar. Yan Li watched helplessly as one of Zhang Daoling's hands turned into three, and then he made up for one or two missing pieces as if nothing had happened, and the gods kept away from them playing cards.
The old birthday star is the most honest, without so many tricks, but the ending is a bit miserable. Even the mount Crane lost to the rotary king. The three of them made an appointment to stew the soup, and the old birthday star wanted to taste it. The old man was helpless, and he didn't even understand the rules and wanted to cheat.
"Master, you're too much, you've found seven or three thousand yuan..." Yan Li couldn't stand it anymore.
"Misbehavior and bad gambling style, how can such a person accept you as his disciple?" said the old birthday star who sat in Yan Li. "Yan Li, why not consider being my disciple. This God's palm is a life of more than a lifetime and never old."
"Hmph, why can't I accept it? Yan Li's surname is Yan, and he is passed down from the lineage of my Ten Palaces of Hell. In other words, he is from our old Yan family, so he can only be the spokesperson of my underworld." The rotary king Xue refuted.
"Forget it, forget it, Lao Xue, you're a little shameless if you want to speak like this." The old birthday star looked disdainful. "King Qin Guang's surname is Jiang, King Chu Jiang's surname is Li, Emperor Song's surname is Yu, I won't go any further. Tell me which of the Ten Kings of Hell is surnamed Yan, why did you become your old Yan family?"
The King of Rotary was a little embarrassed, and he picked up the old birthday star's crutch from the ground and was about to take action. The old birthday star was scattered and lay on the ground.
"Tell you that the birthday boy is the one who is the one in our old Yan family is the one you birthday boy."
"Don't be angry, don't be angry, Master, come and smoke a cigarette to relieve the fire..." Yan Li hurriedly became a peacemaker, "Do you want cigarettes?"
"Yeah... let's have one"
This smoke was brought by Yan Li when he traveled from Earth to this continent. It was extremely precious, but in order not to let these gods fight, they could only lose money.
"Tianshi, borrow a fire..."
Zhang Daoling is worthy of being the leader of the four great masters. He uses magic incredible ways. Wires of cigarettes were lit with one finger.
The protagonists of other novels only have one golden finger when traveling through time, which is simply weak. Yan Li brought all the gods and Buddhas in the sky to travel through time.
"Master, just tell me what you have if you have anything to do."
"Okay, this time I came here mainly to tell you the plans discussed by the emperors and Buddhas of our Immortals and Buddhas," said Zhang Daoling.
"The Hongwu Continent is extremely vast and much larger than the earth. However, in the past two years, we have found that the heaven here is incomplete and reincarnation is incomplete, so it has been formed over the years. The two realms of humans and ghosts are clearly distinguished day and night.
If you want to lay a foundation here, you must first clear out the lonely ghosts here and start, then build a temple of immortals and Buddhas to collect incense from believers, and wait until you accumulate a certain amount of strength to establish a sect!”
"Why do I want to start a sect?" Yan Li didn't like the feeling of being bound.
"Yan Li, if you just compete for the incense of a state, you just build some temples. But if you want to compete for the incense of the entire continent, you will definitely encounter endless obstacles in the future, and it is inevitable to start a sect. Moreover, the Hongwu Continent is not as ignorant and backward as you think, and you also need to have enough strength to protect yourself."
"Then what should I do..." Yan Li asked.
"The jade letter contains all the inheritance and cultivation methods of the gods and Buddhas in the heavens. You can find people with good talents in this continent to recruit them as disciples and train them as guardians."
"I have chosen the address for you, and it's here. Although there are many lonely ghosts here, it is rare to be located on the coast of the sea and is a rare blessed place for the cave. Your Majesty asked you to start a sect here and establish this place as the ancestral courtyard of gods and Buddhas in the Hongwu Continent, gather incense and offering to the gods of the three realms. At that time, it will have immeasurable merits." Maitreya Buddha smiled.
"One of the clearing of lonely ghosts can be established here to create the name of the True Immortal View. Secondly, how can the ancestors of gods and Buddhas be defiled by these souls that do not belong to the world?
But you must remember to clear away lonely ghosts, and find out where the flaws of the reincarnation of this continent are, and then rebuild the underworld. In order to avoid the current situation of human and ghost division here, and allow the entire human society to operate normally," said the rotation king Xue.
Yan Li now understood that this is to convey the policy of clearing wasteland in the upper realm.
First, we will clear away the lonely ghosts in Makino Pianyuan, build temples, and take root in Hongwu Continent.
Then it is to recruit disciples, accumulate strength, and after starting a sect, competing for the world and fighting for the incense of the entire continent.
"I see that your statue of your god has been erected in your dilapidated temple, but if you can establish a new law of the Three Realms on this continent, you will be the Jade Emperor of this world... Immortality," said the King of Wheels with pride.
"Youyouyouyou... Master, you are so serious, so serious..."
Yan Li was praised and laughed shyly while laughing, "Then are you the master of the Jade Emperor in this world?"
"Hahahaha... I don't dare to say that, but I don't dare to say that. We have to be humble."
The King of Rotation also has an expression that I am very good but I must work hard to keep a low profile. The master and apprentice praise each other for one virtue.
"Ahem... don't hype it for now. We cannot directly interfere with the operation of this continent, but we can provide you with all the methods and treasures you need for, but it only needs incense as the price." Maitreya Buddha breathed a smoke ring and smiled.
"Well, I have known what you are talking about for a long time. What I care most about is how to change the incense and how to change the treasure." This is the issue that Yan Li is concerned about.
"The gods and Buddhas are roughly divided into three levels, including the conferred gods, acquired gods and innate gods. Each level is divided into three levels, and three increases to become nine. Among the ninth level gods and Buddhas, the lowest level of gods and Buddhas also requires one hundred incense points, and then each level of higher level increases ten times."
"One hundred points? Will it increase ten times?" Yan Li angrily slapped the table. "I have only saved up 600 incense copies in the past two years. They are all provided by me, who are shameless and fooled by the old men and wives at the foot of the mountain."
"It depends on your own efforts." Zhang Daoling laughed loudly
"Also, I just saw this child outside you, with good qualifications and spiritual roots. Although you have not collected much incense in the past two years, you have worked hard to practice. As a reward, you can accept this child as a disciple, teach the way of the Three Mountains Talismans, and help you collect incense.
Sometimes there will be tasks issued to you by the gods and Buddhas of the Heavenly Court. As long as you do it, you will receive various rewards without consuming incense.”
"so good!"
Yan Li was overjoyed. Tianshi Zhang Daoling was one of the top acquired gods, and this sentence saved a lot of money.
"So do the gods and Buddhas need me to do now?"
"This is not available at the moment. You need to explore slowly. The time is almost over. It's time for us to leave. The specific details are in the incense and jade letter."
After Zhang Daoling's birthday star and Maitreya Buddha returned, the King of Reincarnation Xue did not follow them, but stayed, as if he had something to say to Yan Li.
"Master, do you have any instructions?"
When Yan Li first came to this continent, the Ten Palaces of Yan Luo had already accepted him as his disciple, so he was called his master and disciple.
"The gods and Buddhas of the heavens have divided the scope of this continent, and many evil spirits here are just restrained by Taoism, so this state belongs to the Taoist immortals."
