The Immortal Taoist Priest in the Martial Arts World

Chapter 266 Coming out of seclusion

In Beijiang City, there was a huge crowd. Dignitaries, nobles, traffickers and lackeys were all crowded together in one place, looking forward to it. At the front of the team were the names of the registered applicants.

In the gorgeous carriage, the middle-aged man taught the young man earnestly and handed him a thick notebook.

"You have to remember that asking questions about the heart is the most difficult. I often made you suffer when you were a child to hone your mind. It will come in handy next time. I hope you understand my painstaking efforts."

There was a hint of regret in the middle-aged man's eyes. It was a pity that he was just a little bit behind back then.

Nowadays, Taoism is no longer as easy to enter as it used to be, and now many people have figured out how to ask questions.

As long as you exercise in advance, be stronger mentally to withstand setbacks, experience temptations, and understand your true intentions, you can basically get over it.

However, the number of places in the Taoist sect is fixed. Since there are many people, everyone can only be selected based on their clearance time and age. Usually, those who are young and pass the customs quickly have a chance of being selected.

There is also a person who has special abilities and is directly valued by Taoist priests for admission; however, this kind of admission is very costly and needs to be reported to a higher-level monk for testing. If he fails, the monk responsible for recruiting people will be fined.

Therefore, the most common way is to break through the barriers and ask questions.

"Father, don't worry, I am fully prepared and will definitely enter the Taoist sect and bring glory to the family." The son said seriously.

On the other side, a pair of ordinary-dressed old men said to their skinny son: "You must go through the process of questioning yourself, and don't imitate your father."

"Yes!" The young man's eyes were firm.

His great-grandfather was a Taoist monk who died in a battle sixty years ago. At that time, the Taoist school gave a large pension and a quota for his children to enter the Taoist sect. As long as they passed the inquiry, regardless of their age and grades, they would be admitted unconditionally.

His father was incompetent. Not only did he lose all his family property, but he also failed to pass the examination. The family has been in poverty until now. Now is the opportunity for the family to revitalize.

He must consider whether this is his only chance in life.

On the other side, two people with obviously different temperaments were observing the crowd.

The shorter man said: "Can the Taoist sect really accept us?"

"Of course, many outsiders have come to seek refuge before, and the Taoist sect has accepted them all. They are not immutable people. Besides, we have not done any evil." The tall man said with a smile.

They are Taoist boys from the outer sect. Over the years, as long as there is an opportunity to go outside, many Taoist boys have tried to find ways to join the Taoist sect, making the surrounding forces more and more wary of the Taoist sect.

Previously, the Gou Chen Dynasty and the Divine Jade Emperor Faction jointly attacked the Dao Sect, and the East China Sea Mirage Dragon Clan took the opportunity to cause chaos. The end result was that the coalition suffered heavy losses, and the Mirage Dragon King was killed. After that, no one dared to attack the Dao Sect.

After all, neither of the two big sects could defeat Xu Xuan, let alone small sects like them.

Faced with this behavior of bribing their own people, the surrounding forces only shrink their power and strengthen control.

"Let's go in."

The geniuses from all over the world come to invest, which is enough to show how powerful the Taoist sect's influence has become.

The claims of the Gouchen Dynasty over the years have also made Daomen a notorious force, but for the people at the bottom, Daomen is their savior.

Regardless of whether you are a mortal or a low-level monk, as long as you want stability and don't want others to squeeze you, as long as you find an opportunity, you will definitely come here to seek refuge.

The expansion of territory has also led to the unprecedented development of Daomen and its achievements that have attracted worldwide attention.

In the past sixty years, the number of Taoist monks has increased fivefold, with 27,000 monks. They are distributed in various places, guarding various places, and go to the Taoist sect at regular intervals to report on their duties and remove pollution from their bodies.

The increase in monks has also brought about many uncontrollable factors. The biggest hidden danger is that the monks have less time to train. Coupled with the long period of peace, some people have begun to feel slack.

In the north of Beijiang City, this place is called Monk Street, where the descendants of the monks live.

Late at night, everything is silent.

Except for certain cities, a curfew system is implemented in other places.

In the dark alley, a woman fell to the ground naked. The husband beside her had a bloody head and was unconscious.

The handsome, pale-faced young man was carelessly buttoning up his shirt.

The woman was not dead, but she also had no strength. She lay on the ground with her chest heaving, and her numb eyes looked helplessly at the sky.

"Haha, it's always others who offer their wives and daughters, but you are the first to refuse me." The young master sneered.

At the entrance of the alley, the young master's lackeys were driving away the people passing by.

"My father is Lin Lin, the lord of Beijiang City. You can redress your grievances at will."

After that, Lin Tianbao left the alley. He didn't want to kill two people.

Only a person with a guilty conscience will silence himself. He does bad things openly and openly.

As a Taoist boy, his father is a powerful city lord and the head of the eight deacons in Beijiang. Who dares to provoke him?

He just likes to see others unable to redress their grievances.

"Young Master is awesome and invincible!!"

dong dong dong! !

The next day, drums sounded at the city lord's Yamen.

In the yamen, the city lord Lin Lin was an elegant middle-aged man who was practicing. He heard the sound of drums and opened his eyes.

"Injustice?"

Not everyone dares to knock the drum of injustice, because the price is very high. Once the drum of injustice is sounded, the city lord must personally come forward.

And the person who plays the drum has to bear the consequences. For example, if he accuses someone of murder, if it is a false accusation, then the person who plays the drum will bear the crime.

The subordinates came in a hurry to report.

"What's the matter?" Lin Lin asked.

"This...about the young master...Zheng Wu and his wife in Jiazifang, north of the city, sued the young master for forcing his wife..." the subordinate hesitated.

"What?" Lin Lin stood up, the majesty of the foundation-building stage was undoubtedly evident.

Due to the change in the nature of life, it is difficult for monks to give birth to offspring. Lin Lin is very precious to this son and has doted on him since he was a child.

Although he is occasionally naughty and has a bad temper, it is not harmful and at best he will lose money. How could you do such a thing?

You must know that according to Taoist law, raping a woman is a capital offense.

"Call him over here!!" Lin Lin looked like an angry lion.

Ascend to the hall.

Zheng's man was covered in bandages, and the woman's cheek was bruised.

On the left, Lin Tianbao's eyes were frightened and lifeless. “Sir, you have to make the decision for us!”

The woman cried.

Lin Lin looked at his son and said, "Suspect Lin Tianbao, what do you have to say?"

"Father... City Lord, I really don't know. She said she was a brothel girl, and I believed it. Then... when we were doing things, this man came to me and asked for money. I thought, isn't this a fairy dance? I was so angry. , beat them up!!"

"Nonsense, shameless!!" Zheng Wu yelled.

"Quiet!!" Lin Lin slapped the crowd hard, "Pass, witness! Physical evidence!"

All witnesses and physical evidence corroborated Lin Tianbao's story, and even the neighbors proved that the woman had a bad behavior, that her husband was also a gambler, and she owed a large amount of gambling debt.

"What an injustice!! You are slandering me! I am a serious scholar, and I am preparing to take the exam for academic status. How could I do such a thing?"

The Zhengs were speechless and wanted to refute, but they had no evidence and the evidence had been destroyed long ago; while the other party had "conclusive evidence."

The chain of evidence is perfect, but who is Lin Lin? He participated in the Battle of Yujing, and was a good friend of Zhang Song, the governor of Beijiang, and together they conquered the city first.

He could tell at a glance that this was a flaw in his son's words, and his subordinates were also cooperating in order to protect his only son.

Lin Lin looked around. The old subordinate's eyes were evasive and he looked ashamed.

He has the intention to be angry.

Finally, the decision was made.

That's all...this last time, I will discipline him well when I go back.

"The suspect is not guilty. Zheng was injured. The suspect will pay three thousand taels of silver. As for Zheng and his wife, we will not pursue the case for the time being and go home to reflect."

"Your Excellency is wise!!" Lin Tianbao shouted.

……

In the mountains on the outskirts of Beijiang, there is a towering hall. The hall is magnificent and gleaming with magic.

In the secret room, an ordinary-looking man wearing a purple robe sat cross-legged and practiced.

There was thunder and lightning all over the body.

This is Du Gong Zhang Song, the fourth person in the Taoist sect who has awakened the talent of thunder. He is a monk in the middle stage of foundation building. He is equipped with five thunder methods and is extremely powerful. He guards Beijiang for Lu Qian. His combat power exceeds that of ordinary golden elixirs in this world.

As a disciple of the Taoist sect, practicing the Mirror Realm technique, what you are best at is fighting across levels.

Suddenly, the message jade talisman lit up.

"Lin Lin asks to see you!"

……

In the reception hall, Lin Lin was sitting upright, waiting for his friend.

The grievance drum has magic restrictions. Once it is sounded, it will be transmitted to the Doukong Academy and will be reported to the Doukong Academy in the future.

This time Lin Lin came here just to wipe his son's butt.

"Haha, you piece of shit, why are you here when you have time?"

A loud laugh came from inside the hall.

Lin Lin and Zhang Song have known each other since they were mortals and joined the Taoist sect at the same time.

Calculating carefully, it is a hundred years of friendship.

"I have something that may trouble you..." Lin Lin stood up, told what happened, and promised, "I will lock up this beast when I get back. Brother, can you be accommodating? You know, I am the only son of the Lin family. Three generations of single generation, unlike your tribe who still have brothers and sisters..."

Zhang Song looked gloomy and asked: "There are no dead people? There were no lives on Tianbao's hands before? Have you checked clearly?"

"Absolutely not."

Zhang Song thought for a long time and said, "Okay, I won't do this next time."

Zhang Song still believes in his friend's words and forgives this little willfulness.

……

Outside the city, in a dark corner.

The men were digging a hole, and there were two sacks beside it.

"Bury these two for me." Lin Tianbao sneered.

The number of lives on his hands was far more than that, but his father's men helped him hide it.

Now his father is also protecting him, and Uncle Zhang is turning a blind eye.

So what if the Taoist master knew? At worst, you should repent and admit your mistake.

Two Dao sect foundation-building monks and several Dao sect disciples are more important than two mortals, right?

Three days later.

boom!

In the Bronze Hall, the Taoist Master came out of seclusion, and at the same time brought news of the Taoist Master's great achievements.

The Taoist sect was filled with joy, and various places were planning how to celebrate.

This little detail has never really come into people's sight, and no one knows what kind of storm this incident will bring.
