Mysterious Tang Dynasty

Chapter 414 Reconstruction
Li Lijun looked up at the ruined Houtu Temple, and lowered his eyes.

She was also very surprised that the Houtu Temple was demolished.

Last year at the Xiuxian fair at the end of July and the beginning of August, in order to avoid interested people, she dragged Er Hong away ahead of time, and returned to Ziyun Mountain without watching the scene where the two old princes of the clan "encountered" Xiao Yang After leaving the room, he went directly to Bald Mountain, not knowing what happened afterwards.

When she returned to Houtu Temple when the market opened next season, she was shocked to find that the house there had been dismantled into broken bricks and tiles.

Fortunately, the demolition of the Houtu Temple did not mean that the entrance to the cultivation market in the backyard was destroyed.Although the tree was badly ruined, no one moved the boulder, and it was still there. The old well next to it had been scoured once, and the water in the well was just a little clearer.

After returning to the market, Li Lijun learned what happened from the grandparents of the Qiu family.

The two old princes of the clan did not know what happened that day, and they must take Xiao Yang away.Guan Zhenren's younger brother Wang Daoren and his disciples were originally soft-tempered. They were concerned about Li Wenqi's face as an employer and didn't want to fall out with others, so they had a lot of patience.But it is impossible for the two old princes to take people away.In the end, Wang Daoren's apprentice was young and energetic, and couldn't stand two ignorant qi refining rookies talking nonsense in front of him, so he simply grabbed the two old men by their collars and threw them out of the cultivation market, and even their followers followed suit. And kicked out.

The two old princes have been pampered and pampered for many years. Since they entered the cultivation market for seven days, and because they behaved too fat sheep, the local merchants coaxed them with good words, so as to cheat Lingshi from them, and they did not give them much anger.They were suddenly beaten by reality, and their self-esteem couldn't bear it, so they left behind the words of the person who led them into the Tao, and led their five hundred soldiers to take revenge.

But at that time the bazaar was over, even if they touched the big rock a hundred times and called "True Immortals" a thousand times, the cultivation bazaar would not open its doors to them.

With the questioning eyes of family members and subordinates on the one hand, and the damaged dignity on the other, the two old princes, who were used to being superior, ordered their soldiers to demolish the Houtu Temple. Anyway, it was a god they had never heard of.Although it is not enough to destroy the statue, it is enough to overthrow the statue and smash the plaque.

According to Qiu Sanweng, those who lived in the market were quite surprised when the Houtu Temple Fair was destroyed.I heard that this old temple has a history of many years. It has existed many lifetimes ago. It is not that no one thought of doing something about it before, but at that time, no one could break a brick of it. Let it decay on its own.Ge Zhenren mentioned that this is because the old temple itself has a protective formation.

After Zhenren Du's thunder calamity last year, the market space was severely damaged, affecting the main hall of Houtu Temple.Ge Zhenren was ordered to come to repair the magic circle. Seeing that a large amount of aura in the space overflowed, he changed the nodes of the protective circle connected to the main hall, so that all the remaining aura of this small spirit vein would be concentrated in the market space, and no longer Set aside a portion to maintain the old temple itself.As a result, this old temple, which had survived for an unknown number of years, was easily dismantled into ruins by a few ordinary people.

People in the bazaar didn't think it was a big deal, anyway, the way in and out of the bazaar was smooth.At most, they think that without the cover of the old temple, anyone who wants to go in and out of the market may be seen by the mortals around them, and they just feel a little uncomfortable.

Later, Guan Zhenren used magic to straighten the bricks and tiles on the ground in the backyard, so that the pile of bricks and stones and tree trunks could serve as a little cover. Then, some nearby villagers sneaked in and cleaned up the old well, which attracted many people. More villagers came to fetch water.This makes it seem that it is not a strange thing for someone to come to the ruins again.

But Li Lijun was very angry.

Empress Houtu is still here!Her supernatural power can also be extended to Xuantang Small World!The people of Zhenxian Temple tampered with other people's temples without saying hello, and even sat by and watched mortals demolish the temple. Are they trying to die? !

Li Lijun also felt somewhat regretful.If she had paid more attention to the movements of the two old princes later, it would not have taken three months to learn the news that the Houtu Temple was demolished.

But the temple has been demolished.No matter what she wants to do, it is easy to be seen by the people of the True Immortal Temple.Thinking that her progress in collecting gunpowder was stable and smooth, and that there would always be times when she would vent her anger on behalf of the Empress Dowager, she endured it, and only secretly prodded people to release the black material of the two old princes outside. Just add a few very taboo items to the list of treasures they sell.

A monk at the first level of Qi refining is not much different from ordinary people.As long as the saint is sure that the two old princes are useless, they can be easily dealt with at any time.The life and death of the two elders is left to the sages and their families to worry about. Li Lijun just concentrates on thinking about how to rebuild the Houtu Temple.

The entry and exit of the cultivation market was not affected by the temple being destroyed, so Guan Zhenren and the others had no intention of rebuilding the temple.On the contrary, Taoist Xuanying had thought about building a stronghold of Zhenxian temple here, which would also be convenient for him to live here for a while.I don't know when there will be a conclusion on this matter, but once there is a conclusion, the statue of Empress Houtu will definitely be lost.

Li Lijun simply lured Li Jian over, using rumors of Xiao Yang's whereabouts as an excuse to cover up his real purpose, lest Guan Zhenren and the others would become suspicious.In order to conceal her identity, she specially dressed up like a sick beauty, changed her voice with the excuse of coughing, let the system open a halo that shields the fluctuation of spiritual energy, and put on a black gauze hat.Accompanying him was Shi Qing, a maid who had never practiced before, and the attendants who followed the car were basically guards from the Sui Palace, as well as young servants who had received a year of training in the Saga Mountain Bieyuan. fetal.Even if Guan Zhenren came out to recognize her in person, it would be impossible to associate her with "Li Qiniangzi", an immortal cultivator.

At this time, Li Lijun, who looked at the desolation in his eyes and knew Li Jianrang's sentimental character, only needed to sigh a few words to make him feel sorry.

She said to Li Jianrang: "At the end of the day, this is all Xiao Yang's crime. If she hadn't been hiding here and let the two elders of the clan see her, she made a fuss about leaving, but she didn't make it. How could she provoke the elders?" Demolition of the temple? It’s just that this kind of practice is too blasphemous to the gods. I don’t know if the gods will be angry and punish the perpetrators. Brother, let’s take it as atonement for our Li family and pray for blessings. My younger sister plans to invest in rebuilding this temple , so that the gods will not misunderstand that our descendants of the Li family are all disrespectful and rebellious people!"

How could Li Jian ask the younger sister to pay the money: "Don't worry about the younger sister, just leave this matter to Brother Wei."

Li Lijun smiled: "I still have to pay a penny, and I also need to appease the surrounding villagers, and ask them to pay attention to me along the way. If one day, Xiao Yang appears here again, as long as someone sends us a letter, the criminal can be brought to justice.”

Li Jianrang nodded in a complicated mood: "That's fine. My brother... I will tell Ah Weng when I return home."

Li Lijun was noncommittal, and turned around and told the accompanying attendants: "Hire a few people to tidy up this ruin, all the statues, plaques, stone carvings, utensils... as long as they are still usable, take them away. I will give this Goddess God finds a suitable place to rebuild this temple, and save her from suffering from wind and rain again."

Li Jian said after hearing the words: "Then I will let someone build a tea pavilion here. There is a well here, and the nearby villagers pass by, so they can rest here, which is also a merit."

Li Lijun smiled at him: "Brother, if there is a shortage of manpower, there are still some craftsmen at my younger sister who can lend you. Brother just pay the money, and there is no need to disturb Ah Weng."

Li Jianrang had no objection, looked at the ruins, and sighed again.
