I am the main soul in the soul banner

Chapter 998 Soul Shock

"The Heavenly Monarch still needs secular faith?"

The Red-haired Ghost Saint asked nonchalantly.

"Yes, and no."

Yan Tianjun nodded and shook his head at the same time.

Ghost Saint said: "These two people, perhaps..."

The implication is that even the power of incense and vows is too weak.

The imperial court had issued a strict ban on deities, which explicitly prohibited obscene and evil sacrifices. However, with the completion of the Yama Temple, the ban on deities was apparently relaxed, as if someone had deliberately made a loophole.

Only then would people climb up the West Mountain.

Such an obvious test, anyone with a head on his shoulders would not be mistaken.

Yan Tianjun seemed to be not worried at all and said: "One is not too few, two is not too many, a little bit adds up to a lot and you will have more courage and strength."

"Besides, this woman's child is an apprentice."

"apprentice?"

"An apprentice at Zhang's blacksmith shop."

Upon hearing this, the Ghost Saint immediately understood.

It turns out that everything is interconnected.

The Ghost Saint couldn't help but smile. Cui Jianlu did have some tricks, but it was also a good opportunity for him to take advantage of the situation and find out Zhang Yajiu's purpose and plot.

Tu Shanjun, who had seen through the opponent's strategy and had set up a plan, had no objection to meeting the woman.

He smiled and said, "If the Heavenly Monarch wants to recruit more believers, he should tell them."

"I am the Lord of the Righteous Law, Yan Tian, ​​a great ancient god. I am still alive. With just a little bit of incense and vows, I will kill you in the Nine Heavens and build the Supreme God Court. I will make sure you are made a great general in the God Realm."

Yan Tianjun said, "I don't know, are you willing to be the general of the God Realm?"

"I?"

The red-haired ghost sage laughed dryly: "The Lord of Heaven thinks highly of me."

A few moments.

The ragged woman came to the main hall.

The three-meter-high statue sits upright, as if he is really a god high in the sky overlooking the heaven and earth.

The red-haired ghost saint also stood aside like a real temple priest.

The woman knelt on the ground and cried, "Master, please save my child."

"Please tell me in detail, good lady."

……

The woman's child was named Liu Guan, a fourteen-year-old boy.

I was spotted when the blacksmith shop was recruiting apprentices a month ago. I thought that if I could endure for a few years, I could become a fire-master, and then life at home would be better.

Unexpectedly, I fell ill after returning home in the middle of the night a few days ago.

It’s hard to say what the disease is, but I just can’t wake up.

The doctor said that there was nothing wrong with me. But why couldn't I wake up?

After listening to the woman's description, Tu Shanjun guessed that her soul must have been lost, otherwise it would not be so serious.

Tu Shanjun didn't ask why the old man in the medicine shop didn't take action.

The great hermit hides in the city, just like a pharmacy that cures incurable diseases. Such trivial matters will never alarm the old Taoist who sits in charge of heaven and earth.

As for Zhang Yajiu from the blacksmith shop...

Maybe they all have the same idea.

"The Lord of Heaven already knows what the good girl wants."

"However, the grace of God cannot be without reward. If the people of this world are even a little bit pious, the Heavenly King can bestow his magical powers upon them."

"What is three-point piety?"

"If you bow sincerely, the answer will be clear."

The woman knelt before the cushion and bowed respectfully, seeming to be chanting some name randomly.

At this moment, a talisman fell from above and was caught by the red-haired ghost saint beside him.

The Ghost Saint wrote a concise seal script, and then handed it to the woman in front of him, and instructed: "Return home, light the talisman, and call the child's nickname three times in a row."

"The child will wake up soon."

The woman thanked him profusely, took out two copper coins from her pocket, and left in a hurry.

After everyone left, the Red-haired Ghost Saint murmured softly, "It doesn't seem like Cui Jianlu's test. I didn't sense any magical powers from her. Instead, she was tainted with a sense of war and evil. I think her child's soul was shaken by the weapon when it was forged, and that's why he left his body."

"What has Zhang Yajiu done that he can't even take care of his apprentice?"

A hearty laugh was heard, and the statues above gathered into a shadow, laughing and saying, "How do you know that this is not Zhang Yajiu's method?"

Tu Shanjun narrowed his eyes and said hoarsely, "Could it be that he wants to imitate the devil and sacrifice people to the vessel?"

If it is just an ordinary trivial matter, the Ghost Saint will not see it and will not bother to care about it. But if it is really a demon in disguise, he will definitely be killed without mercy.

"Who knows?"

"I don't think Master Zhang would do this." A refreshing young voice sounded.

The two of them followed the sound and saw Tai Jing approaching.

"What do you think, brother?"

"Master Zhang Yajiu is quite famous and renowned in the Middle-earth. He is highly respected."

Tu Shanjun sighed and said, "You can know a person's face but not his heart."

Tai Jing bowed and said, "How about I, Junior Brother, escort him secretly and see what the child's illness is."

"This……"

Tu Shanjun frowned slightly. If this was a test from Cui Jianlu, Tai Jing's appearance would make the other party suspicious.

"Brother, don't worry. With my strength, there are few cultivators of the same level who can do anything to me."

"Alright."

"Please ask Senior Brother to take care of Junior Sister for me."

"Of course." Tu Shanjun waved his hand slightly.

He was confident in Tai Jing's strength, and as long as he didn't take the children around, there should be no problem.

……

Seeing that everyone had finished their discussion, Shou He approached and bowed, saying, "Old Immortal, I have something to ask..."

Tu Shanjun looked at Shou He with a little doubt: "Please speak."

Shou He hesitated, not knowing how to start.

After thinking for a long time, he finally smiled innocently.

He said, "Didn't I say earlier that my father went to Beijing to take the imperial examination and got married? I don't know where my half brother got the news from, saying that the court had a celestial event and wanted to send the two children to the temple to learn Taoist magic."

"Your brother?"

"Yes."

Tu Shanjun refused outright, saying, "If there is a disaster, I will protect their family for your sake."

Shou He didn't expect that the old immortal would refuse.

But as far as he knew, his half-brother was a man who cared about his reputation.

It was impossible to ask him for help simply for something like this.

In addition, before coming to him, Shoucheng had been to the palace and should have met the current emperor.

So, you always know who the so-called best friend's child is.

Without much hesitation, he said what he was thinking. Tu Shanjun immediately asked suspiciously, "Are you sure?"

"Not sure, most of it is just speculation on my part. I haven't met the child yet."

Tushan Jun began to look at Shou He with new respect.

This person is worthy of being a top-notch warrior who has made it to the top of the world and has also achieved the advancement of magic weapons.

After becoming the king of hunting in Wanning County, he managed the county in good order.

His meticulousness, calmness, and insight into things are enough to prove his ability.

He is a strong man.

He is also a talented person who can be cultivated.

"I didn't look for him, but he looked for me first."

Tu Shanjun nodded slightly.

He was not sure whether Shangqing or Guxianlou was behind the court of the Forbidden Land of Gods. It was obvious that the other party's target was either him or the magical inheritance of the Lord of Righteous Law.

No matter what the other party's purpose is, it is enough to show that it should not be underestimated.

Instead of rejecting it, you can gain better insight into it by keeping it under your nose.

After thinking it over, he decided to wait and see what the situation was, so he told him, "Go and test their opinions to see if the child was planted by the emperor."

“But I no longer accept disciples. Even if they can come to the temple, they don’t have any skills or magical powers. Whether they can have good fortune or not depends on themselves.”

If this wasn't a test from Shangqing and Guxianlou, these two children might have other ways out.

Shou He was surprised and disappointed when he heard this.

Tu Shanjun thought that the other party was concerned about family affection.

"I'll ask."

Shou He sighed.

He also wanted to become stronger, but he didn't have the chance.

He tried to ask the old immortal about his attitude indirectly, but received a cold response. He was even told that he would no longer accept disciples. So his wish to learn magical powers would probably never be fulfilled.

What's the point of talking about exerting due strength?

In other words, if the world really changes as the court thinks, what should he and Canghua do?

Canghua has an extraordinary origin. Can he still keep up with the other party?

Shou He turned back to the courtyard with a lonely back.

……

The woman stumbled all the way back to Wanning County.

I couldn't wait to set foot on the alleyway back home.

Her home was in Xia Lane, which was quite narrow, with only two tiled houses of moderate size that could provide shelter from the wind and rain.

The man came back very late. He sold the firewood and exchanged it for a piece of medicine, which was being frying on the stove. The heat made the room hazy. In the mist, there was a bed on the other side of the river, and a young man was lying on it.

"The Lord God has appeared."

The woman clasped her hands together and carefully took out the talisman from her arms.

Use the fire from decocting the medicine to light it.

He called the boy's nickname three times in a row.

  call!

The talisman turned into a cluster of flying shadows.

  Flying room,

A voice was heard from somewhere: "Soul, come back!"

Not far away.

Sparks fly.

The young blacksmith Liu Guan suddenly came to his senses. He looked at the hammer in his hand and the towering furnace in front of him in a daze.

The stove is like a mountain.

There is an ancient tree that towers into the sky at the top of the mountain.

A hoarse and terrifying owl cry came from the branches of the ancient tree.

  Gah!

The howling turned into sound waves.

"How dare you?!"

"Who dares to ruin my plans?"

Just as he was about to take action, the figure of the young Liu Guan had already walked out of the mountains.

His footsteps were light and fast, and he ran down the street like flying.

After a while, he arrived at Xia Lane and walked in step by step. His father was decocting medicine for him in front of the fire, and his mother was lighting talismans to drive away something for him.

"mother!"

Liu Guan sat up suddenly.

……

Just as the whole family was crying with joy, Tai Jing stood on the tiled roof above the courtyard.

Carrying the sword case on his back, his eyes were like the disillusioned starry sky and an endless river of light surging endlessly.

He folded his arms, standing still.

There was a buzzing sound coming from the sword case behind me.

The sword in the box has already been singing wildly, as if it is about to fly and cut down the world.

"Such a strong fighting spirit!"

Tai Jing's eyes darkened.

His senior brother speculated that Zhang Yajiu might be using human sacrifice vessels, and he defended it.

If this is really the case, don't blame him for taking action even if it means risking the Six Paths to Hell.

Just a moment.

A thin figure has appeared under the moonlight.

Moonlight shines.

Tai Jing recognized the thin and slightly monkey-like face.

"Master Zhang?"

Tai Jing bowed slightly without being surprised.

"It's you?"

Zhang Yajiu frowned suddenly and sneered, "I don't want to sell Liudao Huangquan, so you want to ruin my plan?"

"Taiyi Shengxian Sect."

"That's all."

Tai Jing's face suddenly became solemn, and his eyes were filled with boundless anger.

Bursts of dragon roars came from the sword box behind.

He said in a cold voice: "I respect you as a senior and call you a master, but I didn't expect you to be so hypocritical and sacrifice people to instruments. Not to mention the six paths to hell, you can just go and break it. I, the Taiyi Sect disciple, disdain to use evil and crooked things."

Zhang Yajiu became furious and kept shouting.

"I'm so angry!"

"You, young man, are going to see the Six Paths of the Underworld, aren't you?"

"I'll give you a chance!"
