The Immortal Taoist Priest in the Martial Arts World

Chapter 114 Five Pecks of Rice Road
Snow capped the mountains and rivers covered with a layer of silver frost.

"drive!!"

The horse's hooves move forward in the thick ice and snow. The knight is a man wearing a raincoat and a bamboo hat.

The clothes under the raincoat are thin and unusual in this cold weather.

"Brother! Wait for me!!"

A woman's silver bell-like voice came from behind.

The two rode together.

Judging from the sword boxes behind them, they must be from the martial arts world.

"No, the snow is getting heavier and heavier. We can't go any further." At this time, Qi Qing stopped and looked at the sky.

"I listen to my brother."

"We'll explore the road further. If we can't find a foothold, we'll go back the way we came."

"it is good!"

The two rode for three miles, and saw that the sky was getting darker. When they were about to return home, there was a temple in front of them.

"There is a temple ahead, let's go in and take a look."

The temple is nameless, and there is a gentle knock on the door.

Seeing that no one agreed, he pushed hard.

In an instant, a burst of hot air hit my face.

It turned out to be an abandoned temple, with half-collapsed statues and dense spider webs.

A bonfire rose in the center.

There was also a group of people inside. Judging from the packages on their bodies and the faintly visible horses and goods in the backyard, they should be a group of traders.

There are about seven or eight people.

There was another group of people with their heads and faces covered, as if they were afraid of the ice and snow weather, so they wrapped themselves up tightly. There were only two of them.

"The wind and snow are very strong. We have temporarily settled down. I hope you won't be surprised." Qi Qinggong cupped his hands and said to everyone.

"Please!" the merchant leader signaled, "Would you two like something to eat?"

Unknown, oily meat is roasting on the bonfire, and the aroma of the ruined temple fills your face.

"Thank you for your kindness, we have dry food."

The two senior brothers and sisters brought out dry food, and Qi Qing signaled to everyone whether they wanted to eat it, but everyone declined politely.

When going out, the most taboo thing is eating food from strangers, but after the two parties showed their goodwill, the atmosphere was obviously a lot more cheerful.

Only the two masked men in the corner remained silent. No matter if others took the initiative to chat or said something else, they always just shook their heads and nodded.

The leader of the merchants was a middle-aged man who was experienced in dealing with things. He always had a smile on his face. After the meat was roasted, he shared some with his subordinates. Then he untied the water bag around his waist, walked to the dilapidated statue, and poured the wine on it. to the ground.

This move made the two siblings look at each other.

"Young hero, do you know the origin of this temple?" The leader looked strange.

"Oh, what should I say?" Qi Qing laughed.

"This is the righteous house of the ancient Five Dou Rice Road."

The Five Pecks of Rice Dao is a sect created by Zhang Ling of the Eastern Han Dynasty.

"It turned out to be a rice thief. This was a wanted criminal wanted by the Chen court when the country was founded." Qi Qing suddenly realized, and his smile gradually became weird.

"Yes, the Five Dou Rice Dao is no longer as glorious as it once was. 300 years ago, Zhang Ling called himself Tianshi and Taiqing Xuanyuan. He integrated folk dharma and established a Taoist tradition. In fact, the original name of the Five Dou Rice Dao was Tianshi Dao, which was surrendered by believers after they joined the religion. It is named after five buckets of rice."

"It is a demonic religion to lie about martial arts and claim to be immortal, to confuse the people, and to rent money and rice taxes." Qi Qing said suddenly.

The atmosphere was somewhat silent, and a mysterious atmosphere was circulating.

"Haha, it's just an ancient story. Don't get excited, little brother. We just happened to come across the old site of the Five Pecks of Rice Road."

"The origin of this charity house is not simple. The five buckets of rice road is based on "governance", which is the same as the Taiping Road. The new believers are called "ghost soldiers". The leader of the ghost soldiers is a large sacrifice of wine. The wine sacrifice is to open a charity house on the roadside. To help passers-by.”

The leader munched on the barbecue, his cheeks bulging, while his subordinates said nothing and only focused on eating.

The leader knew the history of the Five Pecks of Rice Road at his fingertips.

The purpose of the Five Dou Rice Road is "loyalty, filial piety, trust in the city, good deeds and virtues" and "governing the country to bring peace". This kind of organization that can gather people and has a program of self-cultivation and family harmony laid the foundation of the Ba and Han generations in the late Eastern Han Dynasty and ruled for ten years. Tens of thousands of households and people from all over came to vote, and they were always feared by the rulers.

After that, Cao Wei, the two Jin Dynasties, the North and the South split for 200 years, and then the Dachen unified, Buddhism flourished, until it was labeled as a demon sect, and the Five Pecks of Rice gradually declined until it disappeared.

"Whether it is a demon sect or a Taoism, don't they all rely on other people's mouths? If there is a system and followers, we call you a demon sect; if there is no system and no followers, just master and disciple, then you are the authentic Taoist sect. Little brother, do you think so?"

Soon, after having enough food and wine, everyone took up weapons.

"Haha, he is indeed a member of the Demon Sect. It takes no effort at all! Kill!!!"

Qi Qing stood up, his inner strength surging and murderous intent rising.

He raised his hand and fired a dozen hidden weapons.

The leader kicked over the bonfire, causing sparks to fly. The subordinates held up iron umbrellas, and the hidden weapons crackled on it, sending up bursts of sparks.

“Fellow Taoist, you haven’t taken action yet??”

As soon as he finished speaking, the two men in black who had been silent just now moved. They looked like ghosts, and they disappeared in a flash of light and shadow.

"Senior brother be careful!!"

The female hero shouted, her long sword was like a snake, she pulled out more than a dozen sword flowers and picked apart the falling cone-shaped hidden weapon.

It turned out that the person was on the roof beam above his head.

The fire gradually dimmed, and the two brothers and sisters moved flexibly among the crowd.

There were screams one after another, and it turned out that the members of the Five Pecks of Rice cult had their limbs and limbs ripped open.

The two ghost soldiers looked like ghosts, turning into afterimages, as if there were people everywhere.

The two brothers and sisters' swords and nets are like balls, making them invulnerable.

"die!"

At this time, Qi Qing seized the flaw, abandoned his sword and replaced it with his palm, and his inner energy surged into his palm.

Whoa!
There was a blazing heat in the air, and the red fire illuminated the surrounding environment, and Qi Qing's palms were covered with three feet of flame.

Hit the chests of the two ghost soldiers respectively.

"Poof!!" Their chests were blackened, and their bodies flew backwards and hit the wall hard.

On the other side, the junior sister cut off the leader's left arm with a move called Chang Hong Guan Sun, and then picked on his hamstring.

The battle started less than a stick of incense and ended with the two siblings winning.The vegetation in the hall began to burn.

The leader struggled to get up and sneered: "Ahem, we have no grievances against you, why are you always holding on to us? 300 years have passed, what do the things of our predecessors have to do with us?"

The leader thought to himself that this time the situation was overturned. He thought it was another rookie coming out to make a career, but he didn't expect it to be a tough one.

As the leader spoke, he motioned with his eyes to the two youngest people in the caravan to take the opportunity to leave. They were not seriously injured and there was still hope of escaping.

"Haha, because you are demon cultists," the woman said.

"We are the devil's sect? What have we done to the devil's sect? We unite the believers and help the people. Which one is the devil's sect?"

"You gathered people to rebel, made elixirs to poison and bewitch the upper class, carried out large-scale construction projects, and practiced sexual intercourse between men and women. Which one is not a demon sect?"

"I see, as long as we blame what others did, we will be guilty." The leader sneered.

At this time, two men rushed to the door.

Qi Qing didn't even look at it, and kicked the stones beside him with his right foot. The stones hit their acupuncture points respectively, making them unable to move.

Demonic cultists captured alive are more valuable than dead ones, and they might be able to find out the whereabouts of other cultists.

"The officials from the government will come after a while, keep an eye on them."

"Hey..." The leader sighed heavily, "We are born from the same roots, so there is no need to rush into each other."

"Who has the same roots as you? We don't believe in any gods? Where are your gods? Why don't they come to save you?"

Qi Qing sneered.

While extinguishing the flames, they found hemp ropes from the goods. Except for the two dead ghost soldiers, everyone else's hands and feet were tied together.

From the beginning of their cultivation, they have been instilled with the idea that good and evil are incompatible, and the best way for people in the world to become famous is to slay demons.

Today they have become famous.

"Martial arts comes from magic. If you don't believe in gods, why don't you criticize those who believe in Buddhism?"

Qi Qing knew in his heart that these people were sharp-tongued and sharp-tongued, so he simply didn't follow their ideas. He was just idle anyway, so he smiled and said:
"Ask your gods to come out. As soon as your gods come out, I will immediately convert."

These words made everyone speechless, and the leader also bowed his head helplessly.

This person is right, there is indeed no miracle in the Five Dou Rice Road.

After the Ancestral Master, there is no longer any magic inheritance.

The next two Heavenly Masters only established their prestige by treating illnesses and saving people.

Because of blind expansion, many elements with bad intentions have joined in, such as sucking the blood of believers, practicing dual cultivation of men and women, etc. What Qi Qing said is not a smear.

But during the Wei and Jin Dynasties, their branch had long since parted ways with these evil groups, and even purged these people who had ruined their reputations. However, the reputation of the Five Pecks of Rice Road was too great, and whenever something like this happened, they were considered to have done it.

It was popular among the upper class during the Wei and Jin Dynasties, but later with the rise of Buddhism, the devil sect could not be taken off at all, and it became a street rat that everyone wanted to beat.

Not only them, but other Taoist schools as well.

Of course, Buddhism and the imperial court did not kill them all. They were very smart, but divided them.

Taoism is authentic if it has no base, no religious organization, is generally passed down in the form of family martial arts schools, relies on the upper class, and has a good relationship with Buddhism.

The two people in front of me are typical disciples of the sect.

That’s why leaders have the same roots.

"Tai Shang Laojun, the heavens are full of energy, how can my way prosper?"

Seeing the stubbornness of this group of people, Qi Qing couldn't help but laugh: "Don't think about it. In today's world, Buddhist monks, nuns, and Taoist monks can't live forever, nor can they be called immortals or Buddhas. Just you three-legged cats. Kung Fu, I’m afraid I won’t be able to do it anymore.”

Whoosh! !

At this time, there was a sound of breaking through the sky.

boom!
The roof exploded, and a figure fell down, hitting the statue heavily.

"Who?"

The two immediately drew their swords.

The dust dispersed, only to see a person sitting on the altar table.

Wearing a white Taoist robe, there is a picture of Yin Yang and Tai Chi on the chest. His hair is as long as a waterfall, and his skin is as white as jade. His appearance has an indescribable temperament, giving people a lazy and unrestrained feeling.

The leader's eyes lit up.

"Where did the thief come from?"

Seeing the man's attire, the junior sister rushed forward with a sword and threw two flying knives at the same time.

"Be careful!!" Qi Qing shouted quickly, but unfortunately others couldn't hear him.

"It's such a thin spiritual energy. What's the difference between this and cracking an egg in a pond to make egg drop soup? Forget it, it's better than nothing. At least the spirit gathering array and certain techniques are effective."

When he raised his head, he saw a flying knife coming towards him, piercing his eyes.

There seems to be a mysterious power attached to the flying knife, which directly breaks the protection of the anti-war talisman.

The weapon-avoiding talisman is a simple and simple magic that can only ward off ordinary soldiers. Unexpectedly, it was broken in this world. It seems to have extraordinary power.

But this thing can't hurt Xu Xuan.

Xu Xuan's eyes showed purple pupils.

Whoa!
The bright red flames burned the flying knife until it vaporized.

"It's my turn!" Looking at the frightened heroine who had no time to retreat, Xu Xuan smiled slightly, and his purple eyes shone again.

Whoa!
The flames instantly engulfed the woman and she was reduced to ashes on the spot.

"Not good!!" There was no time to feel sad. Qi Qing's first reaction was to run away!
The opponent is a master and invincible!Perhaps the elders of the master's sect may not be able to deal with this person.

Qi Qing jumped out of the gate, Xu Xuan was faster than him, and threw the spiritual seal, which rose in the wind.

boom!
The ground within a radius of a hundred feet shook heavily, and a giant seal of three feet smashed Qi Qing into pulp.

Then the bloody seal shrank and flew back to Xu Xuan's side to float.

In less than ten breaths, the two first-class masters were wiped out.

This magical method made everyone stunned.

If the flame just now can still be regarded as a powerful internal force, the spiritual seal rising in the wind is already beyond the realm of the world.

When the leader realized what was happening, his eyes were already filled with tears. The Supreme Lord finally sent an immortal to the earth to save them.

The leader didn't care about his hands and feet, and hit his head heavily on the ground.

"The Heavenly Master Dao Dai offered sacrifices to the gods on the Kou Festival!!"
