I am an immortal in heaven and earth

Chapter 416: Avoiding Fire at Home, Exorcising Evil Spirits with Golden Light

Now that Master Ye was gone, Master Zhang naturally would not let him go. The two sword lights turned and never left, transforming into the sky and the earth.

For a moment, it turned into black and white Qi, and gold and silver lost their color. There was no trace of the dragon, but the murderous intent was the same, with the meaning of "now the heaven and earth will be broken into pieces, and we will turn back to rebuild the mountains and rivers."

With a flash of black and white sword light, Master Zhang was cut into two pieces, and his pure yang spirit escaped.

The four pieces of body fell to the ground, but no blood was spilled. They were only contaminated by the earth's qi and then entered the earth's qi, staining the two mountains.

One mountain has trees all dyed red and turned into red leaves, and one mountain has trees all turned golden.

Luo Fuxianzhen, who was unable to rescue in time, just sighed and did not come forward or blame him for the trash talk.

Only the two souls were not affected by the power of the weapon, but they could not let go and were not calm. Instead, they felt resentful. Not only could the souls not rise, but they were actually sinking slowly, heading to the underworld.

However, the next moment, a more domineering suction force sucked away the souls of the two of them and headed towards Sanqing Mountain.

"Fellow Daoist, since you have resolved your fate, why not let go of your soul?"

The only response was a flash of innate killing sword.

The primordial spirit of Master Ye and Master Zhang fell on Mount Sanqing. They found themselves dead before they came to their senses. They only saw Xu Jia, and then they felt a sense of regret.

"Didn't you just complete the mission? Why are you risking your life?"

He also felt some resentment towards Xu Jia: Why don't you act according to the script? Just fight and kill so that the people above can see that you are working hard. Why are you fighting and killing each other?
Xu Jia said: "You two, first you blocked my army's march south, second you tortured my boy, and third you attacked my mother. As the saying goes, you can do one or two things, but not three. You two have no moral bottom line in your actions. What do you regret now?"

“That’s you fishing!”

"If you shut yourself up in seclusion, how could a disaster come upon you? If you cultivate morality, how could babies and women take action?"

"You immortals, don't you know the origin of Fire Spirit Hanba? He is an innocent infant soul. He died with his mother because his mother's belly was stepped on to pray for rain many years ago. That's why he became Hanba."

"My mother is an ordinary woman, but she has always been a vegetarian and chanted Buddhist scriptures. She made vows every day, did good deeds, and accumulated a lot of virtue. Even Guanyin was able to sense her and gave her a prophecy..."

"It's just that everyone below you, whether good or evil, is just an ant."

"It's nothing more than that the rotation of the Five Emperors is in the interests of you high and mighty immortals, and you are unwilling to share power with mortals..."

The two men looked unhappy after hearing what Xu Jia said.

"When Yunxiao takes action, she always seeks peace. She fights with magic so as not to hurt ordinary soldiers on both sides. But you refined a train and burned and blew up ordinary soldiers. You didn't think about your own sins and even tried to refine her to death with a Buddhist magic weapon. You, who look like a demon, relied on a treasure to refine her to death even though she was kind-hearted..."

Xu Jia was too lazy to waste time talking to them, but he never punished them for the crime of "not teaching".

Killing them now is just another procedure to make them acknowledge their guilt and confess.

“Now I appoint you two as the General of House Avoiding Fire and the General of Golden Light Guarding House. You will guard the candlesticks and lamps for thousands of households to avoid fires, and hang mirrors on doors to protect houses from evil spirits. Although these two positions are humble, they are important responsibilities. Both of you have pure yang spirits, which can generate thousands of thoughts. You need to perform your duties with caution to protect people’s property from fire and keep evil spirits from entering homes.” These two positions are similar to the “Six Gods of House Safeguarding”, but they are not kitchen gods or door gods. One avoids fire and the other drives away evil spirits. It is difficult for them to receive incense under normal circumstances, but their responsibilities are very heavy.

The Pure Yang Golden Pagoda that suppressed demons was still their magic weapon even without the Holy Infant's Fire Chariot.

Although they were reluctant, they still accepted the priesthood.

Suddenly it dispersed into countless points of light and went to thousands of households, guarding the homes, especially protecting women and children from these two disasters.

After Xu Jia conferred the title to the two gods, he sent Xu Jidi back to report, but his expression was slightly resentful: "How could you let your mother take such a risk?"

"We have to make some things clear." Xu Jia said, "It will also help you to resolve a knot in your heart and let you understand that I, Xu Jia, am not living to replace you. I live for myself and to seek the truth."

"Yes, yes." Xu Jidi was speechless. If he were still alive, what would he be like? He would take the exam a few times and become a scholar. If he failed, he would marry a village girl who looked okay and have a child, or two...

"Practice well. My original goal was to leave my house and ascend to heaven, but now that may not be the case. Maybe it is to raise the upper limit of the entire world. The great world is coming."

Xu Jidi nodded, and then said: "Just now my mother looked overseas and refused to look back. Since Huizhuo is no longer in charge of Luzon, and it is a country of Tongtian Dao, with politics and religion integrated, and it is dedicated to you, why don't I take charge of the work and become the ruler of the Dao country."

"Go ahead." Xu Jia did not refuse: "The inverted Guanyin is lamenting that sentient beings are unwilling to look back, but it does not necessarily mean that she is unwilling to look back at you. Perhaps it is lamenting that you have not yet understood and are unwilling to show it openly. In your current state, what is the difference between life and death? You are already a guest in the divine way, and your mother will also be a bodhisattva in the future. Since we are practicing longevity together, you can speak freely. Why be shy? Seeking the truth is the most important thing, and being worthy of one's guilt is the most important thing."

"That will have to wait until I refine a golden body of incense and wishes, which will be equivalent to your pure yang spirit, gathering and dispersing as you wish, just like a living person."

"Then you have to go through the three tribulations of ghosts and immortals. That's more real. You are walking on the path of gods now. No matter what, you will smell like incense and candles."

"I will work hard." Xu Jidi escaped from the Dharma Realm, and the next moment, he appeared in Luzon's Tongtian Temple. He walked up to the altar and merged with the statue on the altar. Suddenly, the momentum of the entire island merged with his, and Luzon's national destiny was unified.

Xu Jia ignored him. If it were so easy to let go and abandon all emotions, the world would naturally not be plagued by endless reincarnations.

On the other side, in Ganzhou City, even though the two immortals were gone, Ganzhou City was still resisting stubbornly, but there were not many extraordinary powers involved on both sides.

But on the second day, gunshots were heard in the city, followed by a riot. The tenants in the city began to rebel, opened the gates of Ganzhou, and welcomed the rebel army into the city.

The governor of Ganzhou was tied up and driven out, his eyes blazing with anger: "You actually gave guns to these peasants!"

"This is the truth." Chen Gongming sneered: "The people's hearts are with us. It's not just the small landlords, the big landlords, and the aristocratic families who are the people. The common people are also the people."

The equal distribution of land by the governor of Ganzhou protected the interests of the majority of small landlords, rich peasants, and even the petty citizens with assets. These people could generate taxes, were good citizens who could read and write, and take the imperial examinations. They were the "elite class" of the farming era.

But this was the end of the dynasty. Those without land were called "vagrants" and those without jobs were called "rogues". Most of them became hired laborers, tenant farmers, or even sold themselves as slaves, and they were not well fed or clothed.

Don't they want to be treated as human beings? But the price of putting a bid on their heads is not as high as that of pigs and sheep. The court doesn't care about them, their lives are really like grass, one cut, another grows.
