With magical powers, I can quietly meditate on sutras for hundreds of years and become an immortal.

Chapter 157: Misfortune

Building a temple is actually a very simple matter.

It's so simple that it only requires a few hands and doesn't take much time.

You can build a small temple made entirely of soil on the open space selected in advance.

The only hard part is before doing something as simple as this.

There is often a complex premise.

Li Zhen doesn't covet these incense beliefs, so he doesn't pay attention to them.

Therefore, old man Xue was allowed to go around.

However, he made a request.

This temple was to be built in a vast plain outside the city.

Old man Xue didn't understand.

But he still did as promised without asking why.

It is a good thing to build a temple for the Taoist priest and the sacred cow who saved the lives of countless people in the city.

That being the case.

Then there is no need to add too many personal thoughts to it.

How do I feel?

Everything is according to what the Taoist priest said.

I have to say that Old Man Xue is still somewhat wise in terms of being an official and a person.

Ever since.

With the joint efforts of countless eager people in the city.

After less than a month.

A temple made entirely of bluestone appeared outside the town.

It is located in the center of the original muddy land.

On the day the temple was completed, Old Man Xue invited Li Zhen to attend the ceremony.

Li Zhen did not agree to him.

Er Qing, who was squeezed by Li Zhen and was busy all day, was equally indifferent.

At the moment, it doesn't understand the concept of building a temple for living creatures.

Therefore, I don't care.

More than this, it is looking forward to when it can leave here.

Erqing has had enough of this day.

I can't stay another day.

However, Li Zhen did not accept Old Man Xue's invitation.

But that doesn't mean he won't watch.

This day.

It is rare for the small hospital not to have many patients come to the door.

The people spontaneously went outside the city to watch the completion of the Qingniu Temple.

In the courtyard, Erqing, who was finally looking forward to the holiday, enjoyed the rare leisure.

And Li Zhen was sitting in the shade of a tree aside.

A flash of water rippled in front of him.

Looking at the picture, Old Man Xue personally sacrificed three animals and lit firecrackers.

Invite the bronze green bull statue to the center of the temple.

Look at the line of sight that ordinary people can't see, shining with a spiritual light.

This indicates that the formation he secretly arranged in the foundation of the temple at night has been officially activated.

Li Zhen nodded slightly, with a smile on his face.

"The formation to suppress the Yin Qi derived from the character 'Zhen' has been completed."

"As for the effect, we still have to observe it for a while."

Use formations to solve the problems of those skeletons once and for all.

This is the most perfect solution that Li Zhen came up with after thinking hard for a long time.

otherwise

Who knows how many people have been buried under this land in the past.

One comes out today and one comes out tomorrow.

Even if he is tired, he will wear out Chief Li Daozhang to death.

And despite this period of research.

Li Zhen could roughly guess the reason for the appearance of these skeletons.

It is most likely because of the special geographical location where Yin Qi gathers.

The so-called corpse raising ground was formed.

So eradication is impossible.

Now, he is far from having the magical power to change the world.

Therefore, the current situation has arisen.

Take the newly built Qingniu Temple as the fulcrum.

Use the incense belief of the world to support the operation of the formation.

Logically speaking, as long as the incense continues, the formation will not be broken.

Then the skeleton under this piece of land will always be just a skeleton and cannot be climbed out.

As for the future.

Who can say for sure what will happen next.

Taking good care of the present is what Li Zhen told the people living on this land.

Erqing, who woke up again, saw what Li Zhen was looking at.

Somewhat confused, some curious.

"Master, what are you looking at?"

"See the temple."

"What temple?"

"Qingniu Temple."

"Oh."

Er Qing listened and was not interested.

He buried his head and fell asleep in another position.

It just seemed like a dream.

I dreamed that many people were calling it dimly, as if begging it to see a doctor.

This suddenly woke it up from its sleep.

So scary!

Li Zhen gave it a strange look.

seem

Until now, Erqing has not noticed anything unusual.

He thought about it.

There are benefits to being stupid.

At least, you won't be too disturbed by the outside world.

It's a good thing.

Right now, the mind is in turmoil, and mysteries are emerging.

Sects appear frequently, all competing for incense and faith.

Li Zhen doesn't care about this, he has his own path of practice.

But not caring means not caring.

But you can't understand it.

As the saying goes, only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you be victorious in every battle.

so.

I have no choice but to suffer one more time.

Come to think of it, it won't care.

Thinking like this, Li Zhen secretly glanced at Er Qing.

Look at it sleeping soundly on the briquettes.

A thought in my heart:

"Ok!"

"As expected, I don't care."

A few more days passed.

The formation is all normal.

Occasionally there were some minor problems, but they were fixed immediately by Li Zhen, who was always paying attention.

After that, those white skeletons were indeed gone.

It seemed that everything had returned to the peaceful scene before the disaster.

Just one afternoon.

Along the river again, several strangers came.

He is a Taoist priest, the serious kind.

When I met Li Zhen by chance in the town.

Among them, the oldest man with a white beard was startled.

He hurried towards him and greeted him politely.

Then, leave quickly.

He should have recognized Li Zhen.

But Li Zhen was not very happy because of their understanding.

Staring at their hurriedly leaving figures, I felt a little emotional.

"Taomen."

"After all, I couldn't hold it back anymore."

A month later.

The formation has stabilized.

Li Zhenxin had the idea of ​​leaving.

At this moment, the tired Bai Yuan actually came to the door.

Li Zhen didn't even know how this old boy found him.

After I told him some things and left Beijing, I never contacted him again.

When we first met, he was a little complacent.

Let Li Zhen guess how he found it.

But after he loosened the skin.

He begged for mercy and revealed the reason. It turned out that he had passed through the people from the Taoist sect last time.

But through him, Li Zhen also got some information that ordinary people couldn't get.

For example:

In this year when the floods subsided, the world was in chaos.

Every continent, every province.

There are people in sects who cause trouble.

The imperial court only had time to wipe out some of the unfounded ones.

But so far, there are still some large sects with large numbers of people active in people's sight.

There are the Three Immortals Sect, Huang Tiandao, and the Red Lantern Society

Eliminate these demon sects who are deliberately causing chaos.

Even the Taoist sect, which has been practicing Taoism peacefully in Zhongnan Mountain, has also made some moves. ,

A large number of Taoists lined up to go down the mountain to repair palaces and temples in various places.

Carry out various lecture activities.

There are also rumors that the Luotian Dajiao will be held in the Zhongnan Mountain ancestral hall this year.

The hidden meaning is self-evident.

And some of the funny things are. Despite repeated orders from the imperial court, people in the Zhou Dynasty were prohibited from practicing Buddhism, and Buddhist temples in various places were required to be demolished.

But after so many years, some temples have been preserved under the protection of caring people.

However, when the ancient Taoist gate moved.

Everything just disappeared.

This was for the Zhou court and even the emperor.

It's hard to tell, it wasn't another slap on their face that wasn't already swollen.

It also made a snapping sound.

When he heard this, he forgave Li Zhen for his unkind smile.

I don’t know when Zhao Ping got the news.

What will it look like again?

But thinking about it, it is unlikely that I will be happy.

Why should he keep his own way in the hands of Emperor Shengwu?

When it's your time, you become dishonest?

Are you just looking at the dishes and think that I, Zhao Ping, are easy to bully?

Let alone him, even if it were Li Zhen sitting in that position.

It is estimated that they will also have such thoughts.

But in this case.

Yes or no.

This gives Buddhism a chance in disguise!

Li Zhen thought about it seriously.

Don't say it, you really don't say it.

According to Zhao Ping's temperament of never bowing his head.

This is really possible.

"This world is becoming more and more lively."

Li Zhen muttered.

This is just one of them.

There is one more news.

More or less, it has something to do with Li Zhen himself.

Those were the victims he had casually helped.

Successfully crossed the river and natural dangers, and arrived in the south.

At the same time, it is also in a marsh country in the south.

A land was found to accommodate them.

It’s just that there are so many different kinds of religious gods in the south, it’s really difficult to survive without joining a sect.

But this group of begging victims were extremely depressed.

Life and death means unwillingness to join any sect.

Finally, they were forced to have no choice but to create a sect of their own,

Why beg?

Begging for a better tomorrow.

Therefore, it is called Mingjiao.

Believe in a god who has no name and whose face is hidden in darkness.

They believe that it was this god-man in their darkest time when they were abandoned by the world.

Gave them a spark of hope to live.

Therefore, within Mingjiao, the sacred fire is used as the order

Brothers in religion are like one family.

When Li Zhen heard the word Mingjiao.

I really couldn't hold it back, and the corners of my mouth twitched.

Good guy!

Just a great guy.

When I hear this name, I feel like I have seen it before.

"You kid, don't tell me that there are also golden-haired lion kings, purple-shirted dragon kings, white-browed eagle kings, etc. in this Ming sect."

Bai Yuan looked confused and shook his head.

He was a little curious about where Li Zhen heard these strange names of ghosts and monsters.

At any rate, he had never heard of it.

I only know that the Mingjiao has not been having an easy time lately.

I heard that it was boycotted by many sects.

To drive them out of the southern borders.

Later, Bai Yuan asked Li Zhen curiously if he knew anything.

Li Zhen said nothing.

Can't explain it at all.

Besides, he didn't understand even after I explained it.

This is his own pleasure.

Suddenly, Li Zhen remembered that the young man from Zhou Dynasty whom he met on the grassland must have grown up now.

I remember that I also taught him two martial arts skills.

I don’t know if he returned to Dazhou with his mother.

If you come back, you should be somewhat famous in the martial arts world now, right?

Do you want Bai Yuan to inquire about it?

But after thinking about it, Li Zhen still decided to forget it.

Meeting is destiny.

I want to compare it to deliberate pursuit.

He enjoyed the feeling of meeting again unexpectedly.

Li Zhen believes that if there is fate.

The two of them will definitely meet again.

I think it will be interesting then.

The smile disappeared from the corner of his mouth and he stopped thinking about it.

It was just what Bai Yuan said next that made him fall into deep thought.

"伱means great and extraordinary."

"Ah, no, Taoist Wu Zhen has returned from the Western Regions."

"But he's the only one who came back?"

Bai Yuan nodded.

"In the twenty-seventh year of the Jingming Dynasty, it was the third day of the first lunar month."

"Master Wu Zhen returned to the capital with thirteen thousand volumes of Buddhist scriptures, Sakyamuni's enthronement bed, and his relics after his death."

"Your Majesty is overjoyed and canonize Master Wu Zhen as a real person."

“Built a white horse temple in the capital and send people to translate the scriptures.

This is about Satori.

As for Feng Chong, it's another story.

This boy went west with Wu Zhen and saw many things.

Later he was chased by Qi Hongshuang.

Although he was reluctant at first, he gradually accepted to go with her.

The clay figures were even moved by the rain and melted.

Besides, Feng Chong is such a living man.

In addition, what he saw in Tianzhu made him temporarily put aside the hatred in his heart and put aside his secular prejudices.

Determined to accept Qi Hongshuang's friendship.

He thought that after returning to the capital, he would marry her under the witness of his great uncle.

But unexpectedly, the chess piece was inserted too early.

Feng Chong's own fate was not as tough as Ma Qianli's.

When returning to the capital, passing by the boundary of Tianshan Mountain.

Once again, I met Zhuang Yu from back then.

The current head of the Azure Dragon Society is the new leader of the Blood Knife Sect.

And, the leader of the recently established Blood God Religion.

When enemies meet, they are extremely jealous.

It's just that Zhuang Yu has gained a lot of incense beliefs recently and has some miraculous methods.

Even Qi Hongshuang and Feng Chong combined are no match for him.

But Wu Zhen was unable to take action because he was guarding the scriptures.

I could only watch as the two men were seriously injured and fell into the water.

To this day, life or death is uncertain.

Li Zhen was really silent when he heard the news.

He never expected it.

It was obviously a non-dangerous journey under the supervision of two experts.

Why did Feng Chong, this kid, get robbed?

Moreover, he fell into the water again.

It's a hit, right?

Youxin is too lazy to care about the life and death of this team of desperate mandarin ducks.

but.

Really?

After all, he was the one who sent Feng Chong to Tianzhu.

In Dantian.

Since the formation was set up, the petals have begun to shed and the fruit seedlings have grown.

At this time, it was also shaking slightly.

Li Zhen understood.

His calamity started and ended because of people.

After all, it was selfishness at work.

But he didn't expect that he would have to pay it back at this time.

"That's it, that's all."

"Since you call Pindao uncle, how can Pindao sit back and watch you being beaten without doing anything?"

"If word spreads, people will really think that Pindao is afraid of getting into trouble."

Li Zhen and Bai Yuan are coming to Jihu to enjoy the immortal drunkenness.

Just treat it as an elder and give Feng Chong a congratulatory gift on his wedding.

As a result, the old boy Bai Yuan was still a little unhappy.

It is said that Chuixiang Tower is closed this year and its source has disappeared.

These are the last few altars and cannot be given away in vain.

You have to agree to a condition.

Li Zhen kicked him hard on the butt.

Even you, an old boy, was saved by Pindao from the wolf's mouth.

Are you still taking Pindao's things and bargaining with Pindao?

You're pretty good at it, right?

Bai Yuan covered his buttocks and looked at Li Zhen's leaving figure, laughing.

Because he knew that the Taoist priest did not refuse, but agreed.

But what is this condition used for?

Gotta think about it!
