Chapter 17 You Guard's Announcement(1/2)
The Three Pure Land statues did not trigger the vow, and they could also obtain Yue Niang's incense afterwards.
Wu Qi has a new understanding of the incense mechanism.
If humans, ghosts and demons have strong desires, they may trigger the Three Pure Land statues and then provide guidance to let Wu Qi, the holder of the Impermanence Picture, follow the map to help prayers and obtain incense.
The Sanqing Image has no response, which does not mean that there is no strong desire or prayer. It is just that the Sanqing Image has not triggered due to regional and other factors.
Previously, all the pilgrims were near Shu County, and it can be seen that the closer they are to the statue of the East Temple, the more chance they have to resonate with the Three Qing statues.
Wu Qi can also spontaneously discover and find pilgrims with strong obsessions. Complete what he wants, gain the other party’s recognition and sincere gratitude, and also gain incense.
The incense can be waited passively at the statue of the East Temple, or it can actively explore potential pilgrims.
Compared to the former who is clearly waiting for the rabbit, the latter still has many things to be unclear.
Which situation will produce incense? Will giving assistance and helping them get out of trouble will inevitably gain the other party’s gratitude?
What should I do if a pilgrim is an ungrateful wolf?
What if the other party doesn’t appreciate it?
...
Not all pilgrims' prayers are harmless.
Hate, resentment, and jealousy will all breed strong desires. When encountering such pilgrims, Wu Qi will give up decisively.
He has met twice in a row recently.
A pilgrim hated his developed fellow countryman and kept cursing him, hoping that his fellow countryman would die on the way.
There was also a ghost soldier who coveted the title of the ghost general's deputy. He kept praying, hoping that other ghost soldiers would offend monks or monsters in the later stages to be killed, so that he could get on the throne.
These evil thoughts can also trigger the Three Pure Images, which shows that the Three Pure Images do not have a clear recognition of good and evil. In other words, they are just looking for special treasures to absorb incense, so they naturally have no ability to distinguish right from wrong.
Wu Qi's mind is very clear.
Being in the picture of impermanence is of course a great opportunity, but if you indulge in it too much and lose your true heart and self, you are just a slave to incense.
Only pilgrims who are upright in nature and have clear grudges are more likely to produce incense by experience and common sense.
After determining the characteristics of the potential pilgrimage group, Wu Qi began to think about how to prepare so that he could quickly obtain incense and then use his cultivation to break through the foundation building.
The maximum limit for a monk in the Foundation Establishment Stage is 120 years. If he can accumulate 120 years of cultivation, at least his physical condition will be no different from the Foundation Establishment Stage.
...
Chen Gao came over and asked, "Junior brother, what kind of spell are you, or magic weapon? The one that locked Yue Niang in an instant."
"That? It's it."
At the instructor of Wu Qi, Chongyang appeared from the sword.
Zhuyu Jing said politely: "I have met Taoist priest, the little demon Chongyang, and I am the venerable Taoist siren."
"Dao Child? Is there a Taoist Child in junior brother?"
Chen Gao was shocked. He took out the mirror with the elliptical, and was even more dumbfounded when he saw it: "The late stage of the demon soldiers... this is too strong... Even the true disciples of Qingcheng Mountain do not have such a Taoist boy, right?"
“It’s dogwood essence.”
Wu Qi introduced: "I don't have any combat power, so I can only scare ordinary ghost soldiers like Yue Niang, but I have the ability to identify flowers, plants and trees."
"My junior brother is really amazing."
Chen Gao was amazed and looked at the red light transformed from Chongyang, looking at the face of envy: "Junior brother, how did you conquer Chongyang? I didn't notice it at all. Does anyone know about it in the observation?"
"Only the senior brother knows."
Wu Qi gave a long-awaited remark: "Before my mother passed away, I left a little self-protection in my mind. It was only during the Qi Refining Period that I gradually understood and followed my mother's guidance to get help. Chongyang is one of them."
"I see."
Chen Gao suddenly realized.
Wu Qi's biological mother, Lu Maobing, is the wife of Wu Zhengyan, a monk in the Jiedan stage, and has a prominent identity: the daughter of the Lu family in Baicaoyuan, Gezao Mountain.
Gezao Mountain, one of the five great Taoist sects, is a place where people are nurturing spiritual objects, elixirs and medicines are used. Apart from the sect leader Ge Xuan, the descendant of the alchemy real person, it belongs to the most prominent one.
The Lu family has been a large merchant family for many years and has been operating for many years, and their family wealth is even more difficult to count. The allusion that the rare goods are available comes from the Lu family's ancestor Lu Buwei.
No matter how the dynasties change, the Lu family has always stood firm because the Lu family is proficient in the way of balance, and the children learn a lot and are evenly distributed among the three religions of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism.
Later, the Lu family joined the Baicao Garden of Gezao Mountain. Because Gezao Mountain is neutral to the outside world, it is good at elixirs and spiritual objects, which is indispensable to all parties, and it is the most convenient to make money with medicine.
After the death of his legitimate daughter, Lu Maobing, the Lu family cut off contact with Yujian Pavilion and no longer sold elixirs, talismans and magic tools at low prices.
Wu Daoji felt guilty, but he had no choice but to do anything. This also caused the Dao Temple's income and expenditure to become increasingly unbalanced, and the funds were so tight that the disciples had to go out to earn silver.
"Uncle Master is in the Spirit of Heaven. I will definitely feel at ease when I see you being so diligent."
Chen Gao changed his tone: "Junior brother, today is a great day, why not show off your skills in the kitchen?"
"I won't cook today, I'll go to the restaurant."
Chen Gao tightened his purse and felt uncomfortable: "Then you should eat steamed buns, steamed buns are also good."
"I'll ask."
"Senior brother, I like to go to restaurants the most. I heard that there is a restaurant with braised duck and beef, and the roast lamb legs there are even more fragrant. I'll lead the way!"
Wu Qi: "…"
"Junior brother, don't you want this face... I'll read this latest "Epiphylla Night Stand" by the Yin-Yang Bachelor."
"good."
The Bachelor of Yin and Yang is a curious erotic novelist at Qianji Bookstore in Chengdu Prefecture. His works are not produced much, but they also have some audiences. Chen Gao is his loyal fan.
Wu Qi turned a few times and found that the author wrote too much, and he still had a burden for scholars. However, compared with other authors who lost their book bags at the same time, he was considered very down-to-earth.
It is good to relax your mind while practicing.
...
Brother Wu Qi had enough food and had a lot of food and leisurely returned to the Floating Clouds View.
As soon as Elder Yan saw them, he waved and said, "Wu Qi, come."
Chen Gao burped: "Elder, if I don't have anything to do, I will go to practice."
"Go."
Wu Qi was taken to the lobby of Fuyun Tower by the elders and found that Xu Shujing, the military officer of the Jianyouwei, was also there.
"Master Wu." Xu Shujing bowed.
"Mr. Xu, don't know what?"
Wu Qi thought, wouldn't he come to visit the cottage three times?
Elder Yan lifted up his sleeves and turned out a rolled piece of yellow bamboo paper.
Yellow bamboo paper is exclusively used for official documents and announcements, including various talismans, posts, certificates, statements, and confessions. People shall not use them privately, and violators shall be regarded as a violation.
The paper reads: Xuan Fen Dong Mountain Floating Clouds Guanxiang Judicial Wang Meng was assassinated and investigated.
Signature: Zhu Xincheng.
Seal: Jianyouwei Yizhou Department.
This is a "publication letter" from Jianyouwei. It is appropriate to recruit monks from Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism to assist in dealing with demons and ghosts, and the three religions cannot refuse.
Zhu Xincheng, a deputy commander of Yizhou, signed and stamped the letter. This is no longer a private request from Xu Shujing, but an official ultimatum.
Elder Yan said seriously: "Mr. Zhu has posted the post. Fuyun Temple is the Taoist Sect of Yizhou. It is unavoidable to remove the demons and ghosts."
"Disciple Wu Qi, at the critical moment, you two Foundation Establishment Brothers will be on your behalf to go down the mountain to help the judicial officer handle this case. I hope you will be careful in your words and actions and will not ruin my reputation."
"Yes, elder." Wu Qi took the order.
In the end, I still couldn't escape this Wang Meng case...
"Time is urgent, please follow me down the mountain."
Xu Shujing took out a horse and rode the same horse to Shu County.
He steadily controlled the horse and said, "Master Taoist, it's not that Xu deliberately wanted to force the Taoist Taoist to come out of the mountain, but Wang Meng's case is extraordinary. Master Fan was very cautious in joining the judicial army and asked Lord Zhu to sign it, and asked monks of the three religions to participate in the screening and investigation."
The Wang Meng case is a complex case involving a demon. Xu Shujing's immediate superior, the judicial officer, Fan Gang, believes that it is necessary to handle special matters.
So Fan Gang asked for a prose from Zhu Xincheng, and asked one of the three Confucian, Buddhism and Taoism to help each of them.
Taoism first invited Ji Zhan, a disciple of the Qingcheng Mountain Changdao Temple, but Ji Zhan was busy chasing the fake money in the ghost market and had no time to get out.
Considering the distance, Fan Gang chose Changdao Temple to fill in the gaps. Xu Shujing, who sent the prose letter, was a little embarrassed, so he had to explain it before and after.
"... The biggest trouble with the Wang Meng case is that some monks asserted that Wang Meng's body had obvious characteristics of 'Soul Locking Soul Training'. The boss of the horse gang is a demon cultivator, so he was killed strangely, so it may not be simple behind it."
Xu Shujing did not enter Shu County, so he rode his horse outside a small temple with a low wall outside the north wall of the city, and then stopped.
This is the temple of corpses, and the government stores corpses.
Wu Qi crossed the threshold and saw a burly monk gnawing on the cake inside.
