The longevity of the heavens begins with Mingyu Gong

Li Gongfu is just a mortal. His life and Song Xing's current behavior can be easily seen through.

However, he could also see that Li Gongfu's original life trajectory seemed to have undergone subtle changes because of his arrival.

Not only that, the entire Qiantang County seems to have undergone considerable changes.

In his memory, before Xu Xian met Bai Suzhen, he had never heard of any traces of monsters in Qiantang County.

Monster is a word that often appears in folklore novels. It often represents evil and villains, but there are very few people who have seen it.

The emergence of monsters was originally out of awe of nature and animals. People called the forces that they could not see, touch, and control as monsters.

In human stories, most monsters are mostly monsters that have been cultivated into spirits, and some are even possessed by monster spirits. Most of these types of monsters are extremely powerful beings.

Take the bat spirit Li Gongfu encountered as an example. Although it is a monster, it is an extremely rare beast that sucks the flesh and blood of resentful spirits and becomes a spirit through cultivation.

Even if Li Gongfu is very skilled in martial arts, he will not be able to defeat the bat spirit at all.

However, it is also recorded in ancient books such as "Zuo Zhuan" that what people are afraid of is captured by their arrogance, and monsters are created by people.

When people abandon the norm, demons will arise, so there are demons.

It probably means that demons are actually created or transformed by humans. If humans lose their moral compass, they probably become demons.

"Taiping Guangji" also records that when Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty visited the west, he encountered a strange insect blocking his way. This strange insect was red, with eyes, ears, mouth, nose and five senses. No one knew what it was. Only Dongfang Shuo said that it was A strange monster.

This place must have been a prison in the Qin Dynasty before. When Qin Shihuang imprisoned innocent people, the people complained and looked up to the sky and sighed "Weird, weird". God felt something, and Wei Zai was born.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty asked how to remove it?Dongfang Shuo said that wine can relieve worries, and if you water them with wine, they will disappear.Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty took the wine to try it, and it was true.

However, in a world lacking spiritual energy, monsters are just a term in the story.

In a world with strong spiritual energy, demon is more than just a noun.

By chance, everything can become a monster. Even a lifeless stone may give birth to a monster.

However, with the prosperity of Taoism and Buddhism in this world and the great prosperity of humanity, there is no soil for these ordinary monsters to survive.

The monsters that can survive safely either hide in the deep mountains and old forests to practice, or they seek refuge in or make friends with the Buddhist and Taoist sects in exchange for a living space.

Therefore, for Qiantang County, a city guarded by the Shinto City God, the appearance of a bat demon is actually a very rare thing. Even the City God himself thought it was some monster that accidentally became a spirit in the mountains and accidentally entered the mortal world. That’s all.

But under Song Xing's calculations, the strange things in Qiantang County seem to be just the beginning.

Behind it, there seems to be greater trouble waiting.

Li Gongfu was also a man with a quick mind. He instantly understood the implication of Song Xing's words, and his expression changed greatly: "Taoist Master, are you saying that there are still monsters like that in Qiantang County?"

Song Xing said: "I don't know, but you are responsible for guarding Qiantang County. It can be seen from your body that similar evil spirits may appear in Qiantang County in the next few days."

Li Gongfu stuttered and said: "This, if it is still that kind of monster, please ask the Taoist priest to help and save the lives of countless people in Qiantang." Song Xing thought for a while, took out a copper coin from his arms and handed it to Li Gongfu: "Keep this copper coin safe, it may save your life at a critical moment."

Li Gongfu thought of the magical stone cat from before, and immediately took the copper coins respectfully.

"Go ahead and ask your family not to go out for the next few days. If something happens, I won't sit idly by and ignore it."

Seeing that Song Xing had no intention of talking more, Li Gongfu quickly thanked him and left with the reluctant Xu Xian.

When he got out of the alley, Xu Xian finally couldn't help but said: "Brother-in-law, didn't you tell me in the past to stay away from those Taoist priests who cheated money? What happened to you today?"

Li Gongfu stopped, glanced behind him first, and then said to Xu Xian earnestly: "Han Wen, this Taoist Song is a true man with great magic power, who plays with the world of Youdao Quanzhen, completely different from those deceitful Taoist priests." No, you were a little rude today. If the Taoist hadn't been generous and indifferent, I really don't know what to do."

Xu Xian frowned and said, "Brother-in-law, it's just a few words that cover up the fog. Do you really believe what he said?"

Xu Xian's words seemed quite harsh, but Li Gongfu still said patiently: "Chinese, Taoism has a long history. There have been countless powerful figures in history. This world is far more complicated than what you and I see."

Li Gongfu wanted to tell Xu Xian the truth, but he still did not dare to tell the truth about the bat spirit without Song Xing's permission.

After hearing this, Xu Xian curled his lips, but still looked disdainful: "Brother-in-law, I have read the Four Books and Five Classics, and I only recognize the knowledge of Confucius. I don't talk about the strange powers and the gods. Those deceptive Taoist priests just rely on their sweet words to defraud people out of money." , how can he have any real ability?"

Li Gongfu shook his head, too lazy to argue with him anymore, and said instead: "You must remember what Taoist Song said. He is definitely a real Taoist. It is rare for him to give us guidance. Remember, don't make us angry again." Him, otherwise he might cause trouble."

Xu Xian snorted in displeasure, but he was not a disobedient person and did not continue to contradict.

Li Gongfu said nothing and walked straight towards home.

After a while, Xu Xian came forward with a smile and said in a formal tone: "Brother-in-law, you have never liked monks and Taoist priests. What happened in the past few days that made you admire that Taoist priest so highly?"

Li Gongfu glanced at him sideways and snorted coldly. Apparently he was still dissatisfied with what he just said and ignored him.

Xu Jiaorong knew her husband's temper, so she stepped forward and tugged on his sleeve, and then said to Xu Xian: "Han Wen, your brother-in-law has loved you so much since you were a child. When have you ever seen him do something he was unsure about? Not to mention anything else, since that Taoist priest is your brother-in-law's savior, you shouldn't be rude to him."

Xu Xian always listened to his sister's words. When he heard this, he lowered his head and said to Li Gongfu: "Brother-in-law, I'm sorry. I won't be rude to that Taoist priest next time."

Li Gongfu shook his head and said: "Taoist Song is a master of Taoism, so naturally he will not have the same experience as you. Your brother-in-law, I am very sober, and I am not as deceived as you think. I can't say more. In short, this Taoist The elder is really capable. Even if we can't make friends, we must not offend him. Don't go to the drug store these days. Stay at home with your sister and don't go out anywhere."

Xu Jiaorong said with some worry: "Sir, the Taoist priest said that the county will not be peaceful these days. Is it true or false?"

Li Gongfu shook his head and said: "Since the Taoist Master said something happened, I'm afraid it won't be peaceful these days. But I have the magic weapon given by the Taoist Master, so you don't have to worry too much."

When Xu Xian heard this, he immediately answered: "Brother-in-law, are you talking about the copper coin he gave you before he left? It's just an ordinary copper coin, how can it be so magical?"

Li Gongfu sneered and slapped Xu Xian's extended hand away, "Don't be frivolous, what the Taoist priest gave you could be an ordinary copper coin, a Taoist magic weapon that ordinary people cannot see."

He recalled in his mind the time when the golden stone cat killed the bat monster with one sword in front of the Xuanwu Temple. He subconsciously touched the copper coins solemnly placed in his arms, feeling inexplicably relieved. (End of chapter)
