Ten states

Taoist Crow was sick, and very sick, sometimes unconscious and sometimes sober, even when he was sober, his eyes were dull, and occasionally he whimpered and cried for a while. +top+point+fiction

Of course Xiaoxia couldn't leave Taoist Crow to go to the Blackwood Forest at this time, he could only guard in the Taoist temple in the middle of the mountain, and went to the city to find a doctor to grab some medicines for Taoist Crow to eat.He himself knew that Taoist Crow's disease might not be cured by taking medicine, but he couldn't leave him alone.

Fortunately, Mingyue didn't urge Xiaoxia either.From the time she was on the boat, Mingyue suddenly became very obedient and obedient, she was no longer as quick-witted as before, and made some headaches from time to time.Now she is like a loyal little follower, obedient to Xiao Xia's orders, she also goes when Xiao Xia goes to the city to grab medicine, and she also quietly guards by the side when she comes back to make medicine, Xiao Xia told her that she can't go to the Blackwood Forest for the time being , she also smiled and nodded obediently.

Two days later, Taoist Crow still looked half-dead and stupefied. He lost weight quickly without eating or drinking, and even the white hair on his head became thicker. Signs, maybe even life will be sent like this.

"...I just scolded you for free, why did you ruin my baby...why did you ruin my baby..." This is what Taoist Crow said when he was sober these two days The most, and almost the only sentence.He didn't look at Xiao Xia asking questions, but stared blankly at the roof above as if muttering to himself, no matter how good Xiao Xia tried to persuade him, he didn't respond.

Xiaoxia is also really poor at reasoning, and doesn't know how to explain it.Once he felt ashamed.No matter how good the eloquence is during the day, no matter how dangerous the situation is, Xiao Xia can speak eloquently in the face of the fierce enemy Xiao Xia, but watching Taoist Crow crying is more tragic than the death of the whole family. appearance.He really didn't know what to say.Because Taoist Crow's heart mantra of the Supreme Purity Lingbao Guan was really destroyed in his hands.

It is not entirely true to say that it is destroyed, as long as Xiao Xia is willing, he can use the power of the Universal True Talisman at any time to use that Lingbao Guan Heart Mantra, even if it is a fourth-rank Taoism, it is completely fine.And unlike the original little gourd that can only be used for an hour for half a month, although he can only last about half an hour with all his strength, he only needs a good rest for a day to fully recover the universal amulet before he can use it again. use.

Not only that, but the omnipotent true talisman in Xiaoxia's sea of ​​consciousness is a bit clearer than when it was the clearest before.Even if it is used to change other spells, more spells can be evolved.These changes were all brought about by the mantra of the Supreme Purity Lingbao Guan, so it is really wrong to say that it was destroyed, it should be said that it was completely assimilated and accommodated by the True Talisman of All Things.And because of this process, Xiaoxia has a closer fit with the Universal Talisman, and can use it more freely.

But Xiao Xia couldn't tell Taoist Crow about these changes. Stealing it for his own use seemed worse than destroying it by mistake.He can only say that this is really not what he did on purpose.It's just that the talisman dissipated automatically because of the induction of a mental method he cultivated. It's just that Taoist Crow ignored it, and still muttered to himself like that.

"...Friend Daoist Crow, your spirit talisman is precious, and it is a treasure inherited from the master's school. It is of great significance, but now there is no way to lose it. If it doesn't work, I will pay you for the innate spirit talisman of the same grade. If one fails, I will pay two Zhang Sanzhang, is this alright?"

Xiao Xia felt really sorry.I can only talk about compensation.He originally thought that this talisman was passed on to him by Master Crow Taoist, and no other talisman had such special meaning no matter how high it was.But Taoist Crow's slack and dull eyes suddenly became brighter. He turned to look at him, and asked in a trembling voice, "Really? Can you really pay me three upper and fourth-rank talismans?"

Xiao Xia was stunned, but he didn't expect to be able to bring back Taoist Crow's soul in this way, but this top-grade talisman is indeed an extremely rare thing, let alone a fourth-grade talisman, needless to say two or three, even if it is one he I don't know where to get it.

"It really is a lie... It really is a lie..." Taoist Crow saw that Xiao Xia was in a daze and could not answer, the look in his eyes lost again. "Even if you make friends with the daughter of Headmaster He, it's impossible to get three high-grade talismans. You're a liar..."

"One, one, I promise to at least find a way to get one to compensate you." Xiao Xia quickly raised a finger and said solemnly.

"One piece?" Taoist Crow's expression became slightly more lively, and he thought for a while and said, "It must be of the same product and level, but it must still be long-lasting and can be used as a family treasure."

"...Okay." Xiao Xia gritted her teeth. "But I can't do anything in a short time... a year... no, I will find you to compensate you within two years."

"Two years..." Seeing that Xiao Xia didn't seem to be perfunctory, Taoist Crow also sat up. "Then you can take a curse and swear an oath?"

"If I really want to perfunctory you, the swearing is nothing more than a toothache curse. If I promise you, I will naturally promise you."

"That's right, Taoist Master Qingfeng is an authentic sect of Maoshan, and he has friendship with Fairy He, Mr. Nangong. He is a person of great status, so naturally he won't lie to me with empty words." Taoist Crow coughed and nodded.Glancing at Xiao Xia, hesitated for a moment, and said again: "But you also know, Master Qingfeng, that my Lingbao Awakening Mantra is a family treasure handed down from my master's master. It is also difficult to replace those of the same grade and level, can you add another high-grade talisman, it doesn’t need to be too high, as long as it is a high-grade talisman, it will do, even the armor spell..."

Seeing that the Taoist immediately took out the posture of doing business as soon as he recovered, Xiao Xia was a little annoyed, but what he said seemed to have some truth, but this high-grade talisman is really not something that is easy to get. .Xiao Xia was about to talk about the conditions again, when there was a knock on the door, and then Mingyue's crisp voice: "Daoist Xia, a man named Taoist monk came to Taoist Master Wu and said there was something wrong with him." Negotiate matters."

"Monk Taoist?" Taoist Crow was taken aback.Immediately got up from the bed.Although lying down for two days made her footsteps a little fluttering, she hurriedly straightened her clothes and rubbed her face, spit in her hands to fix the messy hair.He took two steps towards the outside, then turned around and grabbed Xiao Xia, with a somewhat uneasy expression on his face. "People from monks and Taoists will not come to the door easily, and I don't know if there are monsters and ghosts or the wild Taoists need to be cleaned up. In short, most of them are troublesome. Daoist Master Qingfeng also invites you to help me strengthen my momentum. "

"Why did the monk and Daosi come to you in person? Shouldn't that be the yamen over there in the state capital?" Xiao Xia was a little puzzled.The monks and Taoists of each prefecture are subordinate to the imperial court's temple department, and are specialized in the affairs of monks, temples and Taoism.But that is the system inherited from the previous dynasty. Now it is no longer the situation of the previous dynasty who only respected Confucianism and ruled the world with Confucianism. Even the temple department is just a decoration.The imperial court can only secretly check and balance the two sects of Buddhism and Taoism, and the government has little restraint on the localities. Demon exorcising ghosts.Order the government to arrest unruly Taoists and monks.If it is the Pure Land Temple.Tianshijiao Maoshan sect and other major sects can ignore it, but it still has a considerable deterrent effect on the lowest level of small Taoism of Taoist Wu Ya.

"Don't you know? This Luoshui City has become more and more prosperous in the past few years, and the trade routes have been transferred more and more day by day. It has gradually become the largest city in Qingzhou. Master Liu, the state shepherd, often stays here for business. The yamen have also moved here. I heard that even the state capital will be moved here."

"I see." Xiao Xia nodded.The original Qingzhou state capital was set up to resist Xidi from Jizhou. In recent years, the war in the north has not been prosperous, and the waterway business of Longjiang and Luojiang has become more and more prosperous.The gangs are mixed and the rivers and lakes are intertwined. Liu Junfeng, the state shepherd, mostly stays here to handle affairs.Luoshui City became the de facto state capital.

"It's a good thing for us that Luoshui City is becoming more and more prosperous. If it really becomes the state capital, after the expansion, my Taoist temple in the middle of the mountain will also be prosperous..." Taoist Crow said, and there was some excitement on his face. Come on. "I also hope that this Taoist monk is really in some trouble, let me do my best, and let them know the Taoist's talisman."

The person who came from the Taoist monk was a small official in his 40s and [-]s. He was waiting in front of the Taoist temple. He seemed to be familiar with Taoist Wu Ya.The little official was a little surprised by the haggard and thin appearance of Taoist Wu Ya, and asked why there was a woman in this Taoist temple before. The head teacher's direct disciple is his life and death acquaintance.Xiao Xia also gave this little official a slap in the face. Although he was not wearing Taoist robes, he carried a talisman with him, but this little official was already a little dazed by Taoist Wu Ya, and he had already looked at Xiao Xia a few times. He was so in awe that he didn't dare to come over to check his identity.

"Since there are famous seniors here, then this matter will be much easier to handle. It just so happens that Daoist Wu Ya is also familiar with him, so I will tell you about the situation there." The little official took out an official document from his pocket. Give it to Taoist Crow. "Actually, I rescued two Bai Yi from the sea two days ago. They seem to have come from the continent of Europe in the far east. There is also a Yi monk who believes in the Yi religion. Weird spells. During the previous dynasty, there was still some contact between the Euro Continent and our Divine Continent, but later because of the chaos of the Demon Cult, there was some change in the sea, so the contact was interrupted. Now in Luoshui City, I can’t find it for a while. There are people who speak the Euro language. It is said that there are people in Yingzhou who deal with the Euro people. There should be people who can speak the Euro language in the guest house in the capital, but it will take some time to invite them even if they travel thousands of miles away. Today, Mr. Liu, the state shepherd, invited all mages to think of ways to see if they can borrow spells to communicate with the Ouluo barbarians..."

"Fellow Daoist Qingfeng, you must find a way to help me. We must help Master Liu solve this matter."

This was the first sentence Taoist Wu Ya said to Xiao Xia after sending away the monk and Taoist official.Although he just told the little official to do his best and try his best, Taoist Crow seemed to be determined to win this matter, his eyes were radiant and his face was radiant.

But Xiao Xia felt completely baffled: "I can help you? What do you think I can do to help you? Can I find a way to learn the words of that Ouluo barbarian right away?"

"Lord Liu Junfeng is a Confucian scholar, and what they value most is etiquette and appearance. These barbarians have come across the ocean because they admire my divine demeanor, but they can't even find anyone who can talk. Isn't it a shame? Have you lost your face? So if this is done, my Taoist temple in the middle of the mountain will also be able to enter the eyes of Mr. Liu, and Luoshui City will have a place in the Taoist temple in the middle of the mountain..." Taoist Wu Ya said to himself For a while, I was panting heavily.Then he looked at Xiaoxia and said: "The Taoism of the Supreme Purity specializes in the art of mind, soul, and mind. It can even dig out the things in the brains of dead people. There must be some way to deal with this white-skinned barbarian? Even if you can't, it's not too far away from Maoshan Mountain." Far away, it won't take long if you quickly send a letter to invite someone to come, or bring a magic talisman."

"How could it be as easy as you said?" Xiao Xia didn't know whether to laugh or cry.If it is said that magical powers can communicate with people, this is indeed true. Buddhist esoteric sects have the method of empowerment, and his mind is one of the five supernatural powers of Buddhism. Taoism also has a similar skill of spiritual communication. When he was in Liuziying, he had seen people use it against the Sidi people.It makes sense for Master Zhou to ask them, monks and Taoists, to find a way.But needless to say the overbearing soul-searching technique that can make people stupid and disabled, these magical powers of Buddhism and Taoism require a relatively high level of cultivation, not only Xiaoxia is not good at all, even if you look at Qingzhou, there may be no one Can cast.And these spells are rarely used in ordinary times, and no one spends thoughtful materials to make spells. It's hard to say if there is one in the ten states of the world.

"Daoist Qingfeng, you just think of a way. You are practicing under the Maoshan Gate. You can't even have this method and connections? This is a great opportunity to improve the face of Master Zhou. One step, the future of my Daoist sect in Qingzhou is worrisome..." Taoist Crow rubbed his hands anxiously, thought for a while, gritted his teeth and said with pain: "Well, Daoist Master Qingfeng, you only need to help me get ahead at the Banshan Taoist Temple in this matter. , then it will be regarded as a top-grade talisman for me, and it will give me peace of mind for a while, so that you can pay back my family treasure in two years, okay?"

"It's not whether I'm willing or not, but whether I can do it. Don't you know that the method of divine friendship is extremely profound? Do you want me to invite He Jinzhi to teach it?"

"Can you invite He Jinzhi to teach?" Taoist Wu Ya's eyes almost popped out, but judging from Xiao Xia's expression, he knew that this was impossible, so he continued to persuade unwillingly. "Try it, you have to try it to know if it works. Don't you want to see those barbarian spells?"

Xiao Xia originally wanted to refuse straight away, but this last sentence moved him. After thinking about it, he nodded: "...Okay, then it would be good if I went to meet this Ouluo Baiyi..."

ps: By the way, that's right, Shizhou is the prequel of Shenzhoudao.It was originally intended to be just a short novel, but for some reason I couldn't stop writing until now.The past two years have been difficult, but I finally figured out some system problems. The Shenzhou Road will be reopened, and some settings will be overturned to rewrite the previous part.

ps: Thank you to the friends who distributed the red envelopes, they really helped me a lot, thank you, thank you! (To be continued..)
