There is also an inconspicuous small Taoist temple in Wulonggou, this Taoist temple is built near the water, it is called "watching the fish view". This is a small Taoist temple, only a small courtyard with two entrances, the main hall in front of the water god Niangniang of the barbarian river is enshrined, and the back is where the Taoist priests live. These years have not been peaceful, and the incense of the Taoist temple on the entire Qingcheng Mountain is far less than in the past, and the remote fish viewing view is naturally even more so. Therefore, now the Taoist priests in this Taoist temple have long since fled. Only an empty temple remains.

After the Taoist priests dispersed, the temple was left unattended, and it soon fell into ruins. The plaque of the fish temple has fallen to the ground at this time, broken into two, and the gate of the Taoist temple does not know where to go. When you enter the courtyard, you will see the river temple in front.

The temple was also dilapidated, most of the windows were missing, and one or two of the remaining ones were crooked, the tattered paper on them swayed by the evening river breeze.

Xuan Yi walked into the hall with a few soldiers, squinting at the statue of the river god Niangniang in the hall. There is still a little reddish aura on this statue, flickering, like a candle in the wind.

Xuan Yi knew that the river god who watched the fish had not yet dissipated, but seeing that the aura was dim, he was afraid that the river god would not last long. The gods enshrined in this type of earth-to-earth Taoist temple are, strictly speaking, obscene. This river god is not a god of heaven who can be recognized by the imperial court, and in essence, it is actually no different from "Bai Suzhen under Qingcheng Mountain". At this time, in the state of this river god, Xuan Yi could almost raise his hand to disperse him and re-enter him into reincarnation.

But look at this aura, although dim, it is also pure. Xuan Yi knew that although this river god was not a righteous god, he had not done anything evil, and he was not the kind of evil god who relied on terror to obtain incense. So Xuan Yi didn't have any intention of dispersing him, although even if he didn't do it, the river god wouldn't last long.

"Give him a stick of incense." Xuan Yi turned his head to a soldier.

The soldier took a stick of incense, lit it, and handed it over. Xuanyi didn't stretch out his hand to take it, but said, "I can't put on this incense, you can just plug it in yourself." ”

At this time, although Huang Zide has not officially claimed the king, the luck he has condensed is not small, and as an important courtier under him, Xuan Yi naturally has a lot of luck. These luck may not be so amazing in the eyes of Heavenly Court, but for a wild god who is essentially just a "Bai Suzhen under Qingcheng Mountain", this luck and the power it contains are already very powerful. If the Xuanyi Daoist personally offered the incense, the impact of this luck would directly make the soul of this wild god fly away.

When the soldier heard this, he stepped forward and inserted the incense into the half-broken clay censer that was placed in front of the idol. was about to make a salute, but he heard Xuan Yi say, "Okay, you guys go out." Go to the gate and keep watch, and do not come in until I call you. ”

The soldiers turned and went out.

Xuan Yi saw that the soldiers had gone out, so he smiled at the statue and said, "Come out, let's talk?" ”

The spiritual light on the statue flashed, and a faint figure floated out of the statue, bowed to Xuan Yi and said, "The god of the barbarian river, Bai Man'er, pays a visit to the immortal chief." I don't know what the immortal chief called. ”

Xuan Yi didn't answer, but just asked: "Poor Dao sees that your divine light is thin, I'm afraid that you won't last long, and you will fall back into the ghost path." But your divine light is clear, but it is rare. So want to ask your heels. ”

The god replied, "Dao Chief, the little god was originally an ordinary woman on the bank of this river, but later encountered a flash flood and died in this wild river. and became a water ghost in this river. ”

Xuan Yi nodded, he knew that this was the so-called water ghost. In some places, because of the peculiarity of the leylines, coupled with some celestial reasons, the souls of those who die here are often difficult to enter reincarnation, so they are bound by this leyline and become ghosts wandering here. If the leyline is represented as a river, the bound spirit is the legendary water ghost. Generally speaking, if a soul such as a water ghost wants to re-enter samsara, it needs to find a stand-in. This has become the source of many horror stories.

"How long ago did you become a water ghost?" Xuan Yi asked again.

"It's been more than a hundred years." The river god replied.

This made Xuan Yi very surprised. Because a water ghost is bound to the yang world, even if he hides in the dark water mansion, he will be constantly attacked by yang energy, and he will always feel the pain like a knife. So as long as there is a chance to find a stand-in, they will not hesitate to find a stand-in, and to be honest, it is not particularly difficult to find a stand-in, how can there be a water ghost who has not found a stand-in for more than a hundred years?

"Don't you know how to find a stand-in?" Xuan Yi asked again.

"I accidentally hurt myself, and it wasn't someone else's fault. You can only blame yourself, how can you harm others? The river god shook his head and said, "Later, someone fell into the water, and it was originally my chance to get a stand-in, but I relented for a while, not only did I not drag him down, but I lifted him up." This man received this help, and he lived. Then he often offered me a stick or two of incense by the water's edge. After receiving the sacrifice, my strength gradually increased, and I was willing to help others within the scope of my ability, and then I gradually came to this temple. ”

"Wisdom and uprightness are gods. Although you are not a righteous god, you do not complain about heaven or people. But it is stronger than many righteous gods. Xuan Yi exclaimed, "Poor Dao came here today, but I want to borrow your dojo for use." Don't be afraid, as long as you don't peep and don't do anything bad, the poor road has no ill will towards you, and it won't hurt you, it will only be good for you. ”

When the river god heard this, he laughed self-deprecatingly and said, "How can there be any real benefit to the blessings and misfortunes without causes." Even if there is, I am afraid that there is also a sinister inside. But in my state at this time, how can I refuse to get the immortal chief. The immortal chief is on his own. ”

Xuan Yi nodded, then turned around and shouted outside, "How many of you come in." ”

Several soldiers came in from outside the hall and saluted Xuan Yi, "What do you command?" ”

Xuan Yi pointed to the statue of the river god and said, "You move this statue to the apse, be careful, don't break it." ”

A few soldiers came up cautiously, lifted the statue, lifted it up, and carried it out of the main hall and into the apse.

Xuan Yi also commanded: "You guard the surroundings of the main hall, and no one can come in without my order." ”

A man who looked like a captain answered, and withdrew, leading the soldiers to guard all sides.

When Xuan Yi saw that the soldiers had gone out, he walked to the god case, took out a small golden tablet from his sleeve, placed it respectfully on the god case, took out a few incense sticks, lit them and inserted them in the incense burner, and then retreated, retreated to the futon, knelt down, and bowed a few times. Then he sat on the futon and closed his eyes.

At this time, in the apse, several soldiers had just set up the statue of the river god. He bowed to the statue of the river god and said, "If you have offended, don't blame it." ”

This temple is the dojo of the river god Bai Man'er, but at this moment, Bai Man'er suddenly felt that the connection between himself and this dojo was cut off all at once. Then a force that he had never felt before, and he couldn't even imagine it, diffused from the main hall, and at once the entire Taoist temple was enveloped. This force pressed Bai Man into the idol, causing his spiritual power to completely shrink back into the idol. This power only stopped here, but Bai Man knew that if this power was willing to continue to press in, it would be completely possible to crush itself like an elephant crushing an ant. Now that all his spiritual consciousness was compressed in this idol, Bai Man'er retracted his spiritual consciousness inside, for fear of touching the powerful force outside and destroying himself. He was only amazed in his heart: "What did this man do to summon such power?" What the hell is he going to do? ”

The depth of the Xuanyi Daoist is not something that a wild god like Bai Man'er can see. But Bai Man'er also knew that no matter what, this power was not something that a character like Xuanyi Daoist could have. Even, such a powerful, but extremely condensed, unleaking power should not be able to appear in the human world at all.

Indeed, this kind of power cannot appear casually, and if it weren't for the peculiarity of the leylines here, this power would not have been able to do such condensation. Under the shroud of this power, the road to the underworld was opened, and the soul of the Xuanyi Daoist once again came to the front of Emperor Taizu of the Great Jokhang.

"What are you doing here again?" Emperor Taizu asked. The voice was very gentle, but Xuan Yi faintly felt the anger in his voice. Naturally, the situation in Dazhao took a sharp turn for the worse during this time, and Emperor Taizu's mood was naturally not good.

"Your Majesty!" Xuan Yi Daoist bowed down and said, "Heavenly Court has already made a move, and the situation has begun to change greatly. ”

"I know." Emperor Taizu said, "Hehe, the means of the Heavenly Court are really ...... It's rare that you, a person, can actually see it. It's just that you, what have you been doing all this time? How could the situation be allowed to develop to such a point? ”

"Your Majesty, there is no way to do it." Xuan Yi replied unhurriedly.

"Taoist, you are afraid of death." Emperor Taizu said coldly.

"Your Majesty said yes." Xuan Yi did not deny it, "If I stand up to stop it, I will be exposed to the face of Heavenly Court, and now I have no ability to protect myself." And if I die, does Your Majesty think Marshal Huang Zide can defeat the conspiracy of the Heavenly Court on his own? ”

"Huang Zide, this thief, is as stupid as a pig." Emperor Taizu snorted disdainfully, "If he was born in the same era as me, I would destroy it like crushing an ant to death, and he wouldn't even have his name left in the history books." If the old foxes in Heavenly Court want to deal with him, a small finger is enough. ”

"So Poor Dao really can't die now." Xuanyi bowed again.

"So you're going to let Huang Zide die?" Emperor Taizu said, "Daoist, you are disloyal and unjust, if you are my courtier, I will definitely punish you nine clans." With these words, the surrounding temperature suddenly dropped, and a layer of hoarfrost suddenly condensed on Xuanyi's eyebrows and hair.
