"Could it be that way? It was precisely because he knew what happened in Heihezi that he worshipped the Taoist priest of Shangzhen Temple as his teacher, and said very firmly that his senior brother was a very capable person? I said excitedly.

I think that's basically the truth.

If it were me, I would probably have done the same thing in those days.

"It's a pity that he himself can't speak." Master Lu sighed.

He went to the police department to check the information but to no avail, there was no record of what happened in Heihezi Township fifty years ago, and the person named Wu Qing who appeared in the news died of illness the following year. The people in the National Police Agency's archives had never even heard of such a thing, and there was no way to find out.

"Then our only clue is to go to Shinin?" It's a bit frustrating, but it's still there.

Master Cao called his acquaintances in Zhongzhou to ask for help to find out about Shangzhen Temple, while Master Lu called someone from the Taoist Association to inquire.

In a way, the path of the two of them is really wild.

On the third day, the results were fed back, Shangzhen Temple was a very famous Taoist temple before the tomb, but it was also the case, the damage that year was also very serious, almost completely burned, and no materials and classics remained. Most of the masters in the temple died and the sentences were sentenced, and most of them were already ancient.

Although it has been rebuilt now, the Taoist priests who preside over the Taoist temple are all from other places in the past, and to some extent, it has become a tourist attraction, and it is no longer the Taoist sect of the past.

"That's it?" I was devastated by this result.

"Now I only know that they are real!" Master Lu said.

"Really?" Once again, I was at a loss.

Master Cao then explained to me that Zhenyi is one of the three branches of Fu Zong, which originated in the Northern Song Dynasty and spread from the Southern Song Dynasty to the Yuan and Ming dynasties. The name of "True One" comes from the "True One Lotus Sutra" written by their ancestor Lingbao Zhenren, and their most famous is the talisman and thunder method, according to legend, the Taoist priests of Zhenyi often use these methods to drive ghosts and gods, attract thunder and rain, and eliminate disasters and disasters.

"Lu Lou, he has learned some of the true thunder methods, if these Taoist priests are really true Taoist people, and they are related to the matter of Heihezi, then we have a great chance of destroying that monster!"

I remembered that Master Lu had indeed used the Thunder Method when he had severely damaged that evil thing before, and I couldn't help but nod.

That's good news, but the next news is not so good.

Master Lu's friends in the archaeological community replied that there was almost nothing with age characteristics on those photos, and it was impossible to distinguish them, while those Sanhe soils could only be roughly judged to be 300 to 100 years ago after analysis. This is also basically consistent with the conclusion given by geological experts, who judged that the age is about 100 years old according to the soil section excavated from the ancient tomb.

That monster was definitely not something that had ever appeared alive, and the experts that Master Lu consulted had never seen anything like this, and they were excited to think that we had discovered a new totem worship.

As for the secret words, no one has ever seen them, and no one knows what they are for.

"Since we know that it was the Dao Leader of the True Sect that defeated it back then, why don't we invite the Dao Leader of the True Sect again?" In the midst of a tedious waiting, it occurred to me that I had this in mind.

Master Lu smiled silently, but Master Cao smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Now that the Dao is declining, the two of us are well-known monks, and now we are really the same...... Ha ha! ”

The Heavenly Master and his entourage are not like in the movie, where a few masters and apprentices can walk the rivers and lakes, and try to eliminate the fierce ones on the road. In fact, the inheritance of the heavenly master has high requirements for understanding, innate numerology, and life, and the process of subduing demons and eliminating demons is very dangerous.

If it is the inheritance model of one master and two or three apprentices like in the story, as long as there is a crisis, the inheritance of the sect will be cut off.

Those warlocks who wander around are either disciples of a certain sect who are exercising outside, or they are not good at learning and rely on some side doors to deceive people to make a living.

But even within the territory of such a large empire, there are not many sects that really have the ability to subdue demons and eliminate demons, and each sect has its own territory, and sometimes a branch will be opened for some reason. At that time, when something happened, most people would ask for help from a well-known sect nearby as soon as possible.

Most of the skilled Taoist priests or warlocks came from sects that had been passed down for hundreds or even thousands of years, and they were often well-known locally before that movement, and some could even influence the decision-making of officials in a city or even a province, which may be one of the reasons why His Majesty the Emperor launched that movement.

But no matter what the real reason is, most of the monks did not escape the catastrophe of Buddhism and Taoism, many of them were relatively old, most of them died in prison, and some of them were young and famous, and they were killed that year. Like Lao Dao, who helped me change my life and left me a talisman, he was sentenced to ten years in prison, and finally came out alive, which is lucky.

Even if your Dao method is high, in the face of machine guns and cannons, the only choice you can make is to die or be captured, and the inheritance of most sects was cut off at that time, such as Master Lu and Master Cao, emerging warlocks such as Master Lu and Master Cao, not so much the descendants of a certain sect, but the lucky ones who were lucky enough to obtain part of the inheritance because of some chance.

The most obvious point is that most of their techniques come from the collection of ancient books, talismans, magic weapons, etc., through many times of practice and experimentation, and finally slowly mastered.

The "Tao, Sutra, and Teacher" in the traditional inheritance, what they have now is just an incomplete "Tao" and "Sutra".

"Now those people who are really there, in addition to chanting the scriptures better, when they encounter demons and monsters, they can probably only shout 'Ancestor Blessing'." Master Cao said this, but there was no sarcasm on his face, only tiredness and sighing.

I suppose they must have had extraordinary adventures when they were younger, but they wouldn't say, and I didn't keep asking questions.

"So what should we do?" I asked.

"Didn't the county chronicles record that the qi refiners had erected a monument back then? If you can find the inscription or the old man who knows what happened back then, maybe you can solve the problem. Master Lu said.

Master Cao and I decided to go back to Heihezi, Boss Xie has been calling to ask about the situation these days, and if Master Cao goes down, he can feel more or less at ease.

"It's a pity that I didn't see my niece when I went back this time." On the way back, Master Cao made fun of this matter again.

I sighed and decided to ignore him, but he took it upon himself to say Lu Xiaoling's movements.

School started, she was busy organizing to welcome new students, preparing for the welcome party, and she didn't have a home on her days off.

"Literary evening?" The first image that came to my mind was of her dancing on the stage in a Taoist robe with a peachwood sword in her hand, and I shuddered at such a discordant image. "What did she study?"

"History, of course." Master Cao looked at me in surprise. "Didn't she tell you?"
