Immortality begins with monks from the side sect

Chapter 173: Offering incense, it’s hard to move the light

Bold!

Xiaoxiu Heshan was terrified when he dared to look directly at Xingjun's true face.

Master Chen, Ah Ci, quickly raised his hand to salute, and then carefully brushed the non-existent dust on the jade statue with his sleeves. His face was full of righteousness, and he looked more like a disciple of Longhu Mountain than a disciple of Longhu Mountain.

Alas. I often walk in the melon fields, how can I not miss something?

Chen Ci never expected that the big melon he ate in Liangjianghai City two months ago would accurately hit him now. Things are really unpredictable.

After bending down and standing for a while, Ah Ci was sure that there was no flash of spiritual light in the jade statue of Xing Jun, and there was nothing unusual about it. Then he suppressed the uneasiness in his heart, sighed, and regained his demeanor as Mr. Chen.

It's just a jade statue, huh.

Master, I will pay for it later.

Ok?
Chen Ci glanced at the Changping County Magistrate behind him with a faint look in his eyes: "What are you doing?"

Seeing that Chen Ci was silent, Changping County Lord wiped his forehead and said in a low voice: "Master Chen, if you have nothing to do, you should go back to the county office to handle official business first. This five thousand taels of silver is the real person's gift money. Thousand taels are money for clay sculptures of gods. If it’s not enough for the real person, just ask, and the county can still squeeze out more.”

After a pause, the Changping County Master smiled coquettishly and explained in a low voice: "Although I don't know why the real person suddenly wants to worship, it is not surprising that there are many gods. It is always right."

Chen Ci pondered for a moment, and finally sighed. As the light of Heshan, he really had to bear everything. He had to worry about Heshan before, and now he has to worry about Longhu Mountain.

Chen Ci shook his head and glanced at the Five Evil Gods in the hall. They were very ugly. He was about to ask someone to smash them, but when he raised his hand, he realized what he had just said.

However, this statue of Xingjun is somewhat inappropriate when standing in the Sanyin Temple. I just don’t know. Master Chen has long been in the shape of the Heshan Sect, and his body is filled with the soul of Heshan. How can he worship the founder of another sect? Well, besides, the statue of the True Monarch of the Yuanshen of Longhu Mountain is crowded in the dojo outside Xiaoxiaohe Mountain. How can it be inappropriate?

Moreover, if the clay sculpture of the golden body was seen by the monks next door, they would think that Longhu Mountain was in a state of decline. They even searched for the statue of their ancestor and only had five thousand taels of silver. Who are they looking down on?

Daogong, two hundred taels, I mentioned the minimalist style, so that’s the price.

Mr. Chen was not greedy and did not get a penny out of it.

Soul-fixing Talisman: Mastery/15/100
Even with his current attainments in the soul-fixing talisman, he would only be able to produce about ten talismans at noon every day, and if there were more, it would only be fifteen. Any more would exhaust his true energy, making him unable to protect his body and unable to do other practices.

Chen Ci touched his chin, and for a moment he came to his senses. Could it be that he didn't have the courage to go against Longhu Mountain, but he didn't have the courage to make money through Longhu Mountain?

In just half a month, a minimalist-style bluestone Taoist palace was erected a few miles outside the east gate of Changping County. It occupies a large area and is solemn. Inside, there is a single statue of extraordinary temperament, wearing a star crown on his head and body. The 10-foot-tall golden statue, wearing a star robe, exudes the majesty of money between its hands and feet.

This disciple accepted it, but somehow he felt like a secretary.

The foundation is ten thousand taels. The foundation here is the ancestral property of Sanyin Guan. It is only rented but not sold. It only charges ten taels of silver a year. Sanyin Guan signed a contract with the county government for a thousand years at one time, which means that the incense of Xingjun will continue for thousands of years.

"Is everyone here?"

Chen Ci waved his hand and let him go back by himself. Not to mention the clay sculpture, five thousand taels of silver was more than enough to make a gold body. Of course, it was not pure gold.

Chen Ci calmly ordered: "Today the statue of Du'e Xingjun is consecrated. If you don't come, you just don't give Longhushan face."

The plaque costs two thousand taels. The three words "Due Palace" were written by the Changping County Magistrate himself. The writing fee for each word is less than one thousand taels, which is cheap.

Chen Ci calculated in his mind how long it would take to advance the soul-fixing talisman. This time was not long, but it was not too short, and it was just enough time to advance at the same time as the Golden Scale Magical Technique and the Five Ghost Magical Technique.

The low-profile Changping County Lord also knelt down behind Chen Ci at some point. Hearing Chen Ci's question, he got up, straightened his clothes, and said seriously: "Although I don't say anything, my strange power is confusing me." , but if you follow me and bow down, it won’t seem like you are sincere, Mr. Chen.”

"Master Chen, long time no see!"

Chen Ci was wearing a jade Taoist robe with wide sleeves and a Ziwu lotus Taoist crown. He sighed softly. His disciples have been exhausted these days for this Taoist palace.

I don’t know if the true Lord of the Yuanshen of Longhu Mountain, in the name of Lord Du’e Star of the Mysterious Dao of the Cave, asked ordinary people to worship him with incense, in order to practice some kind of magical power or secret technique, or if he had other intentions, but he also told Mr. Chen It was useless. He recognized the root. Apart from following the instructions, how could he dare to do anything else?

That's called incense money.

"It still takes two or three years."

Mr. Chen originally wanted to sign for a few more years, but the county government really had no money in his account, so he had to give up.

Now that things are done, it is time to practice hard and practice alchemy. However, he does not have to worry about the alchemy materials. He has his disciples to take care of it for him.

Alas, all you have to worry about is hard-earned money.

Five thousand more, five thousand per person!
If the county government is suffering and gets a bad name, Longhu Mountain will take care of it.

A tired disciple means a tired teacher. Moreover, if Mr. Chen hadn't provided money and effort to send his disciples to cut and carry bluestones, how could a Taoist palace of this size be built so quickly.

A total of 13,000 taels of silver were spent on the project. It was really a waste of money to achieve the current progress.

No, what does it mean to make money?

Long Xianzhi has lost a lot of weight, but is also a little more muscular.

"Zhenren Chen!"

"Teacher, everyone is here."

The statue of the god, eight hundred taels, was mixed with some five elements sacred sand in the gold powder. The effect was really good, especially the eyes of the statue, which seemed to have rippling starlight, and the majesty was extraordinary.

What kind of pure gold?

"Yes, let them come in and burn incense."

Chen Ci nodded and held a large stack of soul-fixing charms in his sleeves. They were all obtained from the Soul-fixing Talismans of the past few days. It would be a waste to leave them idle. It would be good if they could be sold to get some blood.

Duer Palace.

It has to be a luxurious single room anyway.

Chen Ci: "." You are really talented in Ta Liang, and you deserve to be an official.

A few polite greetings interrupted Chen Cili's somewhat strange thoughts.

Those who came today were all the big families in the county. The Xingjun Taoist Temple set up in Longhu Mountain was personally managed by Mr. Chen of Heshan. Even if he gave them a hundred courages, they would not dare not come.

"I can only abide by Longhu Mountain's decree. During festivals in the future, it would be great if you arrange more family members to come to Du'e Palace to offer incense to Xingjun."

Chen Ci glanced at the crowd: "Xingjun's name is the mysterious way to overcome disasters. Whenever you encounter disasters, you can escape them with sincerity. This is called overcoming disasters."

After a pause, Chen Ci continued: "In the Dao Palace, there are also Xingjun's blessings to ward off evil spirits and health-preserving elixirs, which can ward off evil spirits, auspicious family homes, strengthen the body and prolong life. Those who are sincere can ask for it with just a pillar of incense. If you are not sincere, you can get it with a hundred taels of incense." "Yes!"

Everyone bowed respectfully.

The Longhushan Taoist only asked the county residents to offer incense and worship sincerely, but with a population of 100,000 in Changping County, it was impossible for the government officials to arrange for them to come to the Taoist palace one by one to offer incense. However, the big households in the county only needed to come a few more times. , and if some effective news is spread, ordinary people will follow suit, saving time and effort.

Chen Ci's eyes narrowed slightly. While he was scanning his panel to see if there would be any dirty things, he was also paying attention to the jade statue placed in the Xingjun statue using the Qi Observation method. The golden statue was only on the outside. The core is still the jade statue of Xingjun specially sent by the monks from Longhu Mountain.

Fortunately, Chen Ci did not show any signs of worship, and there was nothing extra on the golden finger panel, which was gratifying.

"what?"

Suddenly, an almost inaudible spiritual light flashed over the jade statue. Chen Ci looked away. In front of the statue, a slightly familiar figure appeared. He glanced at the people following him. It turned out to be that of Yuan Liu's wife. A female dependent.

It is said that Liu Yuanwai also has some connection with Sanyin Guan.

At first, Mr. Chen was kind-hearted and sent two soul boys out, who were adopted by the Liu family. Later, he picked up a piece of jade and made a plan in Longhu Mountain. However, things are unpredictable. Now Chen Ci is already in the side gate of Heshan. The car door was welded shut, and the backup plan left behind was probably not used, so it could only be regarded as a good deed.

Later, the Liu family was picked up by the evil cultivator surnamed Ma and went to Sanyin Temple to ask for two soul-fixing charms, which also allowed Mr. Chen to get the first blood on the road to immortality.

Again, Brother Ma died miserably.

Nowadays, it is also the sincere worship of his female relatives that makes the jade statue glow with aura.

This Liu family may not have some luck.

"Those who are sincere will be rewarded."

Chen Ci pondered for a moment, then called out to member Liu: "You can choose between magic talisman and elixir."

"Ah, Master Chen"

Liu Yuanwai was a little stunned, but he still consciously offered a hundred taels of silver and put it into the incense box. He thought for a while and said: "I would also like to ask the master to give me a magic talisman."

He could remember that at first a magic talisman cost five hundred taels, but now it only costs one hundred taels. You can't lose money by choosing this.

Chen Ci nodded slightly, and a fine soul-fixing talisman fell into his hand.

Although other large households offered some hundred taels of incense money, none of them were sincere and they were all just going through the motions.

But it doesn't matter, Mr. Chen will take action.

Five Ghost Transport Method: Perfection/62/100
Taking his eyes away from the panel, Mr. Chen puffed up his chest. For the great cause of Longhu Mountain, let this evil man take the responsibility. There is no reason not to buy the talisman given by Xingjun. Wait until you buy more. Yes, naturally I am sincere.

If you are not sincere, then you have not bought enough. This is reasonable. This is very reasonable.

"During this period, the essence and blood are lacking, so the Five Ghosts' transportation method is still not quite ready."

"I don't know what will happen after Consummation."

Chen Ci rubbed his fingertips lightly. It had been some time since the folk customs had been purged. He didn't know how many gangsters there were in the county prison. Oh, and there were also a lot of wild animals in the mountains. He hadn't seen Shi Bodhisattva for a long time. Inexplicably, It's also a bit weird.

After all the pilgrims finished offering incense and made offerings, the already simple and empty Due Palace became even more deserted.

“There’s still a long way to go.”

Chen Ci shook his head. Nearly a hundred people offered incense, but only one person aroused a glimmer of light. It seemed that this matter was not very simple.

Then with some regret, he took out more than a thousand taels of silver from the incense box and kept it for Xingjun. After all, all the expenses of the Due Palace were paid by Chen Ci. Is this reasonable? This is naturally very reasonable.

"Incense."

"Five ghosts transport."

"Ugh"

Chen Ci shook his head. He was forced to do so. He was really forced to do so. He didn't have to believe it, but Heshan Zhiguang's words had to be believed.

Ten days later.

Chen Ci opened his eyes from the quiet room and slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air. In the void, several clouds of gray mist flickered and appeared. Finally, amid a burst of playful banter, they pounced on Chen Ci's back and disappeared.

Five Ghost Transport Method: Perfection/71/100
"almost."

After staring at his panel for a while, Chen Ci stood up with satisfaction. After a while, he adjusted his breathing before going out to Du'e Palace.

These days, Chen Ci always leaves the Sanyin Temple at dawn and goes to the Du'e Palace to practice the soul-fixing talisman at noon. After leaving it to others to keep watch at night, he returns to the Sanyin Temple to practice Qi-eating and sacrifice to the five ghosts.

It feels a bit like clocking in to work.

However, the progress is not very satisfactory. A total of more than 600 people have offered incense these days, but there are very few incense that can arouse the aura of the jade statue, but Chen Ci doesn't have much to do at the moment.

The so-called incense cannot be used to make wishes, but it can be effective only by believing in a dragon.

No matter how Mr. Chen's five ghosts can pretend to be evil spirits, they have been unable to see any results in the past few days.

On the other hand, the soul-fixing charms were sold again. Several pilgrims asked for them, so it was not a loss.

But he didn't have much time to stay in the Taoist palace. He really thought that Mr. Chen didn't need to go out to practice. Longhu Mountain didn't pay him a tael of silver, incense, and the incense money was Mr. Chen's labor income. Why did he do Longhu Mountain? thing.

"I have to find a temple to take care of it. I can only come twice on the first and fifteenth day of the lunar month."

Chen Ci shook his head, glanced at the statue, and was about to leave, but felt something was wrong for some reason. He subconsciously glanced at the statue a few more times, pondered for a moment, but couldn't tell what was wrong.

The True Lord of the Yuanshen of Longhu Mountain.

Statue of Star King.

Offer incense.

jade statue aura
Chen Ci narrowed his eyes slightly and carefully sorted out the events of these days. The last memory fell on the young Taoist from Longhu Mountain in Sanyin Temple that day, with a strange look on his face.

When I think about it, there is something wrong.
