Since June, an imperial edict has come out in the palace. Some evil monks have used the name of the Green Lake Water God to set up a sect to preach in order to deceive people into making offerings. This is actually the work of evil gods. Evil gods can confuse people's hearts and harm people's morality. They are not allowed to do so. The common people worshiped privately. Once discovered, they were fined with silver and served as corvees. If anyone reported to the Yamen who made the worship, they would be rewarded with ten taels of silver.

This move caused shock throughout Jiangnan. The people did not believe it, especially Yuhang. He was obviously a god who protected the people, so how could he become an evil god?
However, Taicheng Zhenren of Jinhua Temple and Huiquan of Jade Buddha Temple personally went to Jiangnan to preach the truth and punish evil spirits. They strongly proved that the water god of Green Lake gave birth to evil spirits and worshiping evil spirits was tantamount to serving evil with one's body and would never lead a good life. .

To punish evil, it is natural to suppress those monks who worship the water god. If one of the paths goes to the dark side, their cultivation will be abolished and they will be imprisoned. However, those who resist to the death and resist will be saved on the spot.

Yes, those who have joined the evil god sect and cannot be brought back to the right path will be either crippled or dead, and suppressed with thunderous means.

The two high-ranking monks who joined the ranks of slaying evil and defending Taoism were the leaders, but they were followed by many fellow Taoists, many of whom were still young, such as those who had just been rewarded by the new emperor with many precious scriptures and magic weapons. The young master of the Qingping Guan family in Licheng is the Taoist priest Xuan Xiaoxiao.

He is a great disciple who does not seek the real person. He is talented and intelligent. He has already shown amazing talent in less than ten years since he entered the Taoism. As the real person Taicheng said, he, like his master, is born with Taoism and is good at the five arts of Xuanmen. Full of understanding.

He has a cold temperament and is decisive in his actions. When fighting with others, he can use one move but not two. He throws away the talismans that others save using as if they are free of charge. Why do you say that?
Because when he encounters evil spirits that are cunning and difficult to deal with, he will secretly set up a formation while fighting, then trap the person inside, scatter a few Five Thunder Talisman, and hit the top with a big Five Thunder Talisman, making the person unable to escape.

This is a smart move, which makes people feel that Qing Pingguan's family is rich.

The key is that he can just throw away such a precious talisman as the Five Thunder Talisman. The magic weapons that others take out are all treasures that can be kept in the high pavilion. But the kind that has been handed down from generation to generation, he took out and killed them randomly, and followed them. It's like playing with a kitchen knife.

I heard that most of the magical weapons used by this little Taoist priest were made for him by his master. I wonder if that master still accepts disciples?
They also want such a arrogant master.

Even if the master doesn't accept him, this little Taoist priest will still accept the disciples as his successor. I wonder if they are qualified?
As for cultivating Taoism, it doesn't matter where you go. The ancestors of Qingping Guan are also major sects. They just want to inherit the authentic tradition, not because they have a deep background.

"Zhao Zhao, do you feel like you have something stuck in your throat?" Xiao Ginseng poked Teng Zhao, pursed his lips, and said: "Look at those people, they look at you as if they are looking at fat meat, and they want to swallow you in one bite. ”

Teng Zhao looked in his direction and said, "That's not how the word "catch-in-the-throat" is used. It should mean "like a thorn in the back." You can't just have fun on weekdays, but also read more books."

Little Ginseng choked: "Are you laughing at me for being illiterate?"

"I'm afraid that you will make your generosity laugh and embarrass me." Teng Zhao said calmly: "Reading can make you wise and rational. It has both good and bad qualities."

Little Ginseng whispered: "Do you think any ginseng in the world wants to study?"

"How many ginsengs can make humans?" Teng Zhao choked back.

Little Ginseng: Yes, yes, everything you said is right!
He glanced at the person opposite and said, "Let's go. If we don't leave, I think they want to come up and claim their father!"

Teng Zhao nodded. He also wanted to kill a few more evil spirits, so that he could grow quickly. From the battle, he could understand his own shortcomings and improve them. "I don't know what's going on with the Great Demon King Xixi now. I always feel like a storm is coming." Little Ginseng glanced at the scorching sun and sighed.

Teng Zhao pursed his lips slightly and said, "Just do what we should do."

"Right."

One person and one ginseng said goodbye to the other Taoist friends and went to the next place to kill evil and defend the Tao.

As the days passed, the situation in Jiangnan was very tense due to an evil-killing operation. The imperial court intervened in this defense operation in a strong manner, reshuffled the official system of Jiangnan, and took the opportunity to steal several officials like the giant tiger. The entrenched old aristocratic families and high-ranking officials, as well as the intricate forces under them, have greatly enriched the national treasury, and the new emperor's political power has also been tightened.

Some people inevitably wonder if the national treasury is insanely poor, so the saints are deliberately launching such a campaign to slay evil spirits. In fact, they are trying to destroy the most difficult old Jiangnan officialdom, so as to save some money for the treasury. The system in Jiangnan was replaced with officials he trusted to consolidate the imperial power.

If this is the case, then the saint is young and his thoughts are somewhat unpredictable.

Qi Qian: I really just want to kill evil and eliminate demons!

But he didn't expect such an effect. It was just like Feng Xiu said, killing a few difficult ones, pulling down a wave of thorns, and filling the treasury. He didn't think so when he saw Mr. Qian. I was frightened, fearing that he would ask me for money.

However, although it can take a breather, it is not enough. There are many more places to use money.

In the blink of an eye, September came. With the cooperation between the court and the monks and Taoists, the number of people worshiping the water god gradually decreased, and many statues of the gods were burned. Even the temple in Green Lake was torn down. At least on the surface, they did not dare to worship, otherwise they would be destroyed. If anyone reports, the whole family will be ruined.

Especially those village gangsters, who focus on this area. After all, they can get a reward as soon as they report it. Isn't this better than cheating?
Of course, there are also people who deliberately create this thing to defraud the reward money, but the yamen that handles this matter are not vegetarians. Once found out, the punishment will be heavier than worshiping an evil god, so they don't dare to try it.

The methods are tough enough. Even if the people have resentment in their hearts, they don't dare to risk their lives to fight with the government. If someone does this, they will be pulled out by the government to set a typical example. If they are not controlled by evil spirits, how can they be so crazy?

Of course, everything has advantages and disadvantages. Doing so is not conducive to the people's good impression of the new emperor. They think that he is too powerful and unkind, and even the gods have to use and intervene, and he is too arbitrary.

These voices were fed back to Qi Qian, and he dismissed them. His reputation was nothing. As long as he could take care of this mess, he could be more arbitrary.

Moreover, if ordinary people don’t know the danger that exists, doesn’t he also know it?
All he needs to do is live up to Qin Liuxi's trust, live up to the common people, and have a clear conscience.

But the equally astute senior officials and ministers admired the new emperor quite a lot. They were not afraid that the emperor was not smart, but they were most afraid of rotten wood that could not be carved. If the emperor was decisive and did not hold back, and his execution ability was strong enough, then they could move the ship, right? ?
Prime Minister Lin felt most deeply that this was probably what attracted Qi Qian to him. (End of chapter)
