Please, marry a white snake wife. It’s super cool.

Commander Mao Xiang knelt on the ground and wiped the sweat from his forehead. He was often scolded for any information about Lu Yuan.

Since Mao Xiang himself did not report to the emperor in person that time, the emperor actually ordered that he, the commander of the Jinyiwei, should personally submit all information about Lu Yuan.

The reason why the emperor did this was to hope that Jin Yiwei would take it seriously and stop trying to fool him.

The emperor stood up, walked to Mao Xiang, looked at Mao Xiang who was kneeling on the ground, and walked around in a circle.

The emperor's pressure made Mao Xiang find it difficult to breathe.

The emperor slowly said: "Let me ask you, do you still want to be the commander of the Imperial Guard?"

Mao Xiang leaned over and said, "Your Majesty, I am guilty!"

The emperor shouted angrily: "You have sinned too much! You just gave us this information? I can't even figure out what kind of things and monsters there are. What do you, the Imperial Guards, do for a living? You're just a bunch of losers!"

As the top commander of the Jin Yiwei, Mao Xiang felt aggrieved. No one had seen some of the things Lu Yuan had made before. Who knew what they were?

You can't go up and stop people and ask, "Master Lu, what is this?"

You want Jin Yiwei to do the job well, but you can't disturb Lu Yuan. Isn't this embarrassing?
The emperor said: "Get out! Get out! Get out. If you don't understand, don't bother me!"

Mao Xiang knelt tremblingly and took several steps back, then stood up and walked backwards.

Lu Yuan and others passed through Dongchang City. They did not enter Dongchang City, but they did not go directly to Yandu. Instead, they went to the provincial capital.

Just because on the way, Lu Yuan and others were resting in a tea shed and overheard the conversation of several Taoist priests from Dou Shi Temple.

These Taoist priests from Doushiguan are going to participate in the death dojo in Guyangguan, the provincial capital.

The so-called death dojo, also known as the underworld dojo, is a dojo specially opened for the souls of the dead.

Not just human beings, all living beings have seven emotions and six desires, three karma and six roots. They commit various sins and worries due to desires and needs. After death, they will be entangled by sins and karma and cannot re-enter the six paths of reincarnation.

This soul that cannot enter the six paths of reincarnation either wanders in the world, or lives on a decaying corpse, or is locked in the hell of Fengdu. It is difficult to transcend for a while and suffers immeasurable suffering. This is also the reason why a large number of Xingzi evil spirits are rampant in the world.

Taoism, as the native religion of the Shenling Empire, was highly valued by the imperial court. Taoist priests could rely on the power of Taoism through rituals, chanting sutras, breaking stagnation with talismans, etc., to save all living beings in the world from entering the six realms of reincarnation.

If there are martial Taoists, there will be literary Taoists. The Celestial Master and the Great Celestial Master are both martial Taoists, and those who recite sutras are literary Taoists.

On a whim, Lu Yuan wanted to go to Guyang Temple, the provincial capital, to see how these Taoist priests opened altars and set up dojos.

Lu Yuan said: "Daughter-in-law, how about we go to Guyangguan, the provincial capital, to visit the ashram?"

"We will go wherever brother wants to go." Su Liyan naturally had no objection.

In one day's work, Lu Yuan and others arrived at the provincial capital and found a posthouse to stay.

Guyangguan's death dojo was held two days later. Lu Yuan and others drove much faster and got ahead of the Taoist priests at Doushiguan.

The next day, Lu Yuan and Su Liyan, who were wandering around the streets of the provincial capital, clearly felt that there were many more Taoist priests on the streets than before.

Taoist priests in different Taoist temples also wear different costumes. They go shopping in groups of two or three to choose things.

Lu Yuan felt very bored after wandering around for a while, and Su Liyan naturally noticed it.

Su Liyan may not understand men, but she knows her own man very well and knows that he doesn't like shopping very much.

It is true that Lu Yuan doesn't like shopping. It's better to go shopping with his wife, but it can't last too long.

Shopping for five minutes makes me smile; shopping for thirty minutes makes me a little irritable; shopping for forty-five minutes makes me unable to move my legs; shopping for sixty minutes makes me unable to stand up; shopping for seventy minutes makes me miserable!

Su Liyan took the initiative and said: "Brother, this is nothing fun. Why don't we go to Guyang Temple in advance to check out the spots."

"Okay, this death dojo is located outside Guyang Temple. Today we can visit Guyang Temple and go to pay homage tomorrow." Lu Yuan agreed with his wife's idea.

Lu Yuan and Su Liyan walked outside Guyang Temple and saw two door gods carved on the stone mountain gate - "Green Dragon on the left and white tiger on the right."

The Taoist temple in the provincial capital is much grander and more imposing than the Doushi Temple, and there is an endless stream of people coming to offer incense.

Going up from the mountain gate, Lu Yuan and Su Liyan visited Lingguan Hall, Jade Emperor Hall, Siyu Hall, Sanqing Hall, and Patriarch Hall in sequence.

On both sides of the Sanqing Hall are the side halls of Luzu, Wenchang, Eight Immortals, Yuanjun, Cihang, Zhenwu, and Leizu, all of which worship prominent figures.

After paying homage, the two of them were about to return to the post house when they heard a burst of cheers coming from a side hall in the front yard.

Lu Yuan was very curious and said to his wife: "The Taoist temple is a pure place, how can it be so noisy."

This is Lu Yuan's first time visiting Taoist Temple.

When Su Liyan was a child, she followed her mother to the Taoist temple to pray for blessings. She could guess a thing or two and said, "Brother, that side hall must be the hall where the Celestial Master's abilities are certified."

"So that's it. We've only heard about it, but haven't seen it yet. It's still early, let's go take a look?" Lu Yuan asked.

"Okay." Su Liyan nodded obediently and held her brother's arm, very intimately.

As soon as the two of them reached the entrance of the hall, a little Taoist boy stopped them and said, "This is not a place for casual entry. Please go to the main hall."

The little Taoist boy looked at the young couple, thinking that they must be a newlywed couple who came here to play.

Su Liyan bent down, leaned forward, and asked gently: "Little Taoist boy, is this the Shenwu Hall where the Celestial Master's abilities are certified?"

"It's natural. Everyone who enters is here to register as a Heavenly Master." The little Taoist boy raised his arrogant face and accidentally caught a glimpse of Su Liyan's two white rabbits, and his face turned red.

Lu Yuan said: "Little Taoist boy, how do you know that we are not here to register as a heavenly master?"

The little Taoist boy was speechless for a moment, then he took out a crystal the size of an egg from the box on the table and said, "If you can make it shine, I will let you two in."

Lu Yuan took the crystal and injected a little bit of spiritual power into it, and the crystal lit up.

The little Taoist boy took back the spar very calmly and said, "Come in, there will be someone inside to guide you two."

This egg-sized crystal is an entry-level identification stone. To put it bluntly, it is to identify whether a person has discovered the path to cultivating a heavenly master.

Even if some people enter the path of cultivating a Celestial Master, they may not be able to register as a Celestial Master in their lifetime, and there are many such people.

Lu Yuan and Su Liyan entered the Shenwu Hall, and Lu Yuan babbled: "Are all the children nowadays so arrogant?"

Su Liyan covered her mouth and smiled without saying anything.

Lu Yuan did not say it in front of the little Taoist boy, fearing that the other party would retaliate: "You are blind, you think I am a three-year-old child, I am twenty-eight this year!"

I saw one person holding a round bronze medal, weighing it in his hand, which was extremely rare.

Many people gathered around him.

This round bronze medal is a symbol of the Great Celestial Master's identity.

This, isn't this who it is?

"Taoist Master Longchuan!" Lu Yuan blurted out.

The man holding the bronze medal in his hand looked up and saw that it was Lu Yuan and his wife Su Liyan.

Taoist Master Longchuan's hands trembled, and the belt card was flipped back and forth in his left and right hands, almost slipping off. Fortunately, he finally held the belt card issued by Guyang Guangang.

"Hello, hello, long time no see!" Taoist Master Longchuan took the initiative to greet him.

"Who are these two people? The Great Heavenly Master is so polite to them." Everyone murmured in a low voice. These people were all here for identity verification. There hasn't been a Great Heavenly Master in the past few days. Just now, Taoist Master Longchuan was promoted to Great Heavenly Master, winning everyone's applause.

"Taoist Master Longchuan, you still seldom speak Western languages~" Lu Yuan continued jokingly, "Congratulations to Taoist Master Longchuan on being promoted to Great Heavenly Master! How about you come back to Taining City with us?"

Lu Yuan also wanted to win over Taoist Priest Longchuan. After all, he also had a relationship with Taoist Priest Longchuan.

Taoist Master Longchuan glanced at Su Liyan who was holding Lu Yuan's arm, smiled respectfully at Su Liyan, and then said, "We are used to traveling alone, and we are used to being free."

"Okay, let's have some drinks when we go down the mountain later." Lu Yuan was extremely polite to Taoist Master Longchuan.

Taoist Master Longchuan said: "Okay, you have to verify your identity this time. I know you have the talent to become a heavenly master. Come on, come on, follow me, I will take you to jump in line, oh, no, I have I recommend you without waiting in line.”

Taoist priest Longchuan led the way, passed the crowd, and entered a room.

There were two Taoist priests standing in the room. In the room stood a three-meter-high cylindrical crystal with scales engraved on it. Each scale was ten centimeters apart.

There is a bed next to the long columnar crystal, which is made of stone.

The two Taoist priests glanced at Su Liyan and probably realized that Su Liyan was from the half-demon clan.

I saw a Taoist priest say: "Taoist Master Longchuan, you just left this room, why did you come in again?"

Taoist Master Longchuan said: "No, a friend of mine also wants to try it."

"Please lie down on the stone bed, put on the stone helmet, release your mental power, and try to increase the height of the crystal light as much as possible." Another Taoist priest said.

Is this an electroencephalogram test? Do I need an MRI?

Looking at such an avant-garde detection method and the incomplete ancient book in Dongchang Mansion Yamen, Lu Yuan suspected that he was not the only time traveler.

Lu Yuan lay on the stone bed, feeling dizzy.

Lu Yuan closed his eyes and felt the mental power running in the sea of ​​consciousness, and then slowly injected the mental power into the stone helmet.

The stone helmet resonates with the long columnar crystal, and the light shines upward little by little from the bottom of the long columnar crystal.
Taoist priest Longchuan said from the side: "It's okay. When we first came here, we were not even half a meter tall."

The two Taoist priests nodded, and one of them said: "Yes, it is extraordinary to have such an achievement at such a young age. I think of my grandfather at that time."

Lu Yuan used his mental power slightly, and the long columnar crystal suddenly lit up ten scales, and a total of fifteen scales lit up.

"Celestial Master?" Taoist Master Longchuan thought to himself, "What a sin, just now we were thinking of comforting others. We had to register as a Celestial Master four times before we succeeded, but Lu Yuan could actually light up for the first time. One and a half meters high.”

You know, if the light is one meter high, it means that the spiritual power has reached the level of a heavenly master. This carving of talismans not only tests the writing skills, but also consumes the mental power extremely.

After Lu Yuan entered the underworld, the long columnar crystal lit up twelve scales again.

"Twenty-seven!" Taoist Master Longchuan shouted, "I'm here. I worked hard to find twenty-one. Is this easy?"

When it lights up to two meters high, it has reached the level of a great heavenly master.

The difference between one meter and two meters does not seem to be big, but for every ten centimeters added later, the difficulty increases exponentially.

The Taoist priest of Guyangguan has never seen anyone who can light up 25 scales on this three-meter-high long columnar crystal.

Just like a thermometer has 42 degrees, the body temperature of 39 degrees is visible. This body temperature of 41 degrees is extremely rare, although the difference is only 2 degrees.

Lu Yuan couldn't hear any sounds from the outside world at this time, as if he was asleep.

Lu Yuan only felt that he had not used all his strength. After entering the underworld, Lu Yuan carefully felt the spiritual power running in the sea of ​​consciousness, and the spiritual power was rushing out.

Taoist Master Longchuan stood aside, staring at the scale that lit up on the crystal and reporting the numbers.

"Twenty-eight!"

"Twenty-nine!"

"thirty!"

The crystal light was so bright that the whole room was illuminated brightly, even a little dazzling.

Taoist Master Longchuan covered his eyes with his sleeves and murmured: "My dear, what are you doing!"

Everyone outside the room couldn't believe it was true when they saw the light coming from the room.

"Are they a young couple who came in just now?"

"Yes, what we saw really clearly was the pair of young people who were led in by the new Grand Master."

"What a blessing it is today to witness the birth of two great heavenly masters."

"Why are you so anxious? There are still two levels left."

The long columnar crystal that was shining brightly made a squeaking sound. Only Su Liyan could feel the tearing inside the crystal, which meant that the crystal was already overwhelmed and there was a possibility of cracking if it continued like this.

Su Liyan called softly: "Brother~"

The sound was not loud, but it hit the depths of Lu Yuan's soul and pulled Lu Yuan out of his state of trance.

Lu Yuan woke up, took off his stone helmet, stood up, and looked at the crystal that emitted light that had not faded for a long time. Lu Yuan asked, "What's the result?"

Taoist Master Longchuan opened his mouth, not knowing what to say for a while, and he didn't recover for a long time.

A Taoist priest from Guyangguan said: "My spiritual power has reached the level of a great heavenly master."

Lu Yuan was not surprised and had a clear understanding of his abilities.

After Taoist Master Longchuan came to his senses, he took Lu Yuan's hand and shouted: "Master, I admire you so much."

Lu Yuan withdrew his hand and said, "Taoist Master Longchuan, it doesn't have to be like this. Let's go to the next house."

As soon as Lu Yuan entered the Shenwu Palace, he noticed that the three houses in the palace were all testing people's abilities, and there were people queuing up at the door of each room.

"Let's go, let's take you to the next room." Taoist Master Longchuan said enthusiastically, admiring Lu Yuan very much in his heart. In less than two years, he has grown so horribly.

Lu Yuan entered the second house under the envious eyes of everyone.

Before Lu Yuan could understand the rules of the second test, he heard an explosion coming from the first house.

Doors and windows were blown open.

"Taoist Master, this, we didn't break this!" A middle-aged uncle waved his hand and said with great grievance.

"what!"

"The crystal exploded?"

Everyone in the Shenwu Temple ran to the explosion site and looked at the crystal fragments scattered on the ground.

"Is it this uncle? The uncle is so powerful."

"This uncle can actually burst the crystal!"

"Who burst the crystal?" (End of Chapter)
