Chapter 8 Duty Gongcao

Before I came here, I didn't know that the enemy was so difficult, and I thought it was a frontal fighting method, and the compass and Huang Yilan might be of great help, so I brought all the people here. Now we know that the situation is far more complicated than we imagined, the enemy is dark and we are clear, and there are too many people to alarm the enemy and expose themselves, which is really a mistake.

An hour later, we continued on the road towards the immortal view of Fengxiangling. The Xuanming Sect is like an invisible person, no one knows where they are, but now that they have revealed their feet, the Immortal Outlook is likely to be one of their strongholds, this is a rare opportunity!

The redness and swelling of the places where we were stung by wasps basically subsided, but they all left small red spots, especially Lu Qingwen and Ouyang Zhenfei, who were allergic and serious in fine skin and tender flesh, and left small lumps the size of a coin in the stung places, which may take a few days to completely disappear. Thankfully, the Jade Rabbit pulled out the poison for us in time to heal the wounds, and applied herbs, and the skin did not die, and it should not leave obvious scars.

On the way forward, we no longer dare to take it lightly and always be vigilant. Lu Qiang said as he walked, telling some of the things he had heard, but most of them were legends from many years ago, such as someone seeing a group of corpses walking, and someone accidentally offending someone's whole family to die or disappear.

It is difficult to verify whether these legends are true or false, and it is impossible to determine whether they were the work of the Xuanming Sect, and the local people's fear of this mysterious organization has been inherited from their ancestors. Although Lu Qiang lives here, because he is not a person in the circle, he has not even heard of the name of the Xuanming Sect, he only knows that it is a mysterious organization.

The sign at the door of the inn yesterday did not belong to the Xuanming Sect, but a warning from the Gu cultivator to his own clan, so Lu Qiang could recognize it.

The enemy already knew that we were coming, and the longer it dragged on, the worse it would be for us, so we advanced as fast as we could towards the Temple of Eternal Life, and on the way we encountered a small village without entering, and rarely encountered people.

Fengxiangling is a very high mountain, the center of the top of the mountain seems to have been slashed by a god, there is a very deep and straight crack, the top of the mountain is almost divided into two, when the mountain wind blows through the crack, it will make an obvious "boom" sound, so it is called Fengxiangling.

It was evening when he arrived at Fengxiangling, and Lu Qiang didn't know the specific location of the Immortal Temple, so he didn't find it for a long time, but when it was dark, he stood on a high place and saw a little firelight, only to find that it was under a stone cliff.

The others were unable to move at night, so they camped in place and waited, and only Lin Mei and I went to investigate.

Lin Mei and I are both agile and fast-moving, and we found the concept of immortality in less than an hour. I found that there were three paths leading to the temple from different directions, and the stone paths were obviously worn and smooth, which proves that these three roads were built many years ago, and there were a lot of people walking back and forth, and there are still many people walking around.

The Taoist temple is in a small col under the mountain cliff, surrounded by ancient wood forests, standing outside the mountain gate and visually inspecting, covering an area of about five or six acres. I climbed a big tree and looked inside, the overall building was not tall, with white walls and black tiles, ordinary wooden plaques, it looked ordinary and had been around for a long time.

Scanning again, I found that there was a row of huge stone pillars in the main hall, with neat stone slabs on the ground, and several imposing stone tablets, which were left by the old view of ancient times, which showed that this place was once glorious.

The lights in the main hall are bright, and the sound of chanting comes out, and it is estimated that there are more than a dozen people. While the Taoist priests were doing their evening class, they just slipped in to look for it, if they were from the Xuanming Sect, they would definitely be able to find something abnormal.

I went down the tree and asked Lin Mei to answer me outside the wall, because she couldn't use the invisibility charm, and if I went in by myself and alarmed the Taoist priests, I could also leave by stealth and not startle the snake.

Standing outside the wall, Xiao Xue first began to investigate the situation inside, at this time there was a sudden unusually powerful aura fluctuation in the Taoist temple, and I "saw" through Xiao Xue that a huge god with a glowing body flashed above the main hall, with a Taoist bun on his head, wearing a gorgeous robe, holding a wat board, like an ancient courtier, but like a Taoist priest.

We were taken aback, and the man of God pointed his finger at us, and his voice was like thunder: "Don't that little demon, dare to peep into the dojo of this sect, and don't leave quickly!" ”

Xiaoxue was a little panicked, but she still stubbornly asked, "Dare to ask the name of the god?" ”

"I am on duty, but what do you want?"

I actually saw God! Although he is just a Mao God who is on duty to run errands and deliver reports, after all, he is a god who can go up to the heavenly realm, which proves that the gods really exist, how can it not be exciting?

Among the protectors of Taoism, there are four values of Gong Cao, which are the duty year, the month, the day, and the time of the Gong Cao, whose responsibilities are respectively to manage the major events that occur in a year, a month, a day, and an hour, and register them in the book to play the heavenly court. In addition, they are also responsible for delivering the baskets from various dojos to the relevant gods (courier?). So they deserve to be on duty errands.

In addition to being excited, I was also a little surprised, the Xuanming Sect is a cult, how could Cao, who is a righteous god, be here to show them his home?

Xiaoxue said: "My master's master was killed by the Cangwu Daoists of this Taoist temple, they raised resentful spirits, refined zombies, and ran rampant in the countryside, so let's investigate." ”

Gong Cao on duty stroked his beard with his hand and groaned slightly: "Cangwu is not here, and there are no unjust ghosts and zombies in the view, you go elsewhere." ”

Xiaoxue didn't dare to confront Cao on duty, but I couldn't help it, and said with a strong mental power: "The gods are powerful, and the mana is boundless, please point out the whereabouts of the Cangwu Dao people, as well as the places where the Xuanming Sect hides dirt and dirt." ”

Gong Cao on duty had a displeased: "The deity ignores personal enmity and only cares about today's affairs, since you are a mage, you should restrain your battle so that the demon fox does not want to break in." ”

I was stunned for a moment, the Xuanming Sect is obviously a cult, and he appeared in the Taoist temple to which the Xuanming Sect belongs, but he actually skimmed it cleanly, and refused to give a point. And the implication is that he doesn't care what the Xuanming Sect does, if I enter the Immortal Concept, he will take care of it, what kind of truth is this?

I was so stunned that Gong Cao disappeared, and everything just now was like an illusion.

I'm very angry, with the ability to be on duty, I should be able to know the whereabouts of the Cangwu Dao people very clearly, and I can also find out the illegal things of the Xuanming Sect, is it so difficult to point out? He is obviously biased in favor of the people in the Taoist temple!

Xiao Xue sighed: "This Taoist temple has a long history, and all kinds of immortals have been worshiped by them for many years, so of course they should be biased. ”

I was even more angry: "It's really a soft mouth that eats other people's mouths, can it be that if you accept the offering, you can turn a blind eye and even turn a blind eye to them doing illegal things?" ”

"It seems that raising ghosts and refining zombies is not illegal, and there are people in other sects who do this. Childe, if you think about it, the immortals don't care about all kinds of lonely souls, wild ghosts and corpses, so as long as the people who raise ghosts and refine zombies don't use these to do too much, the gods don't care. In our modern parlance, this is a three-way zone that can be played with marginal play. Besides, there must be people in the cult who have achieved positive results, of course they have to protect their disciples and grandchildren, and say hello to other immortals: Hey, buddy, somewhere is my hometown, someone is my child, take care of it...... In short, immortals are also made by people, and there are also people who are sophisticated, and this water is very deep! ”

I'm not angry anymore, but I'm very depressed. There are people in the court who are good officials, and others are covered by gods and ancestors, but I don't, this is the case in the world, and I can't imagine that the fairy world is the same, can I fight people, can I fight gods?

Xiao Xue said: "It's not so serious, at most they can only turn a blind eye and pretend not to know, and they can't stop us from seeking revenge from the Xuanming Sect." It makes sense that Gong Cao on duty didn't let us in, because I was a demon. ”

So I can't go in, in fact, there is no need to go in, even if Gong Cao on duty favors them, he will not tell lies, then there are no ghosts and zombies here, and the concept of immortality is a legitimate Taoist palace view.

I originally thought that the concept of immortality was a breakthrough, but I didn't expect that there was no clue here, the Xuanming Sect was too secretive and cunning, no wonder even Lu Chengshan said that the Xuanming Sect was very mysterious.

Lin Mei saw that I was standing for a while and didn't move, so she couldn't help but ask in a low voice, "What's wrong?" ”

I sighed lightly: "There are immortals inside, don't let me and Xiaoxue in." ”

"What, there really are immortals?"

"Well, it's the ...... on duty," I told me about what I had just done.

Lin Mei was also very depressed: "It turns out that immortals are the same as mortals, I thought that immortals were just and selfless!" ”

Xiaoxue said to the two of us at the same time: "You read all kinds of myths and legends, gods and demons novels, operas and miscellaneous dramas, and the relationship between gods and immortals is very complicated, and they are all about human feelings. ”

Lin Mei asked me: "Other sects have immortal protection, and your Yin and Yang family's immortals Weishenme don't manifest their spirits?" ”

I was stunned, yes, weishenme I have never seen the immortal manifestation exclusive to the Yin and Yang family? Master said that many celebrities in history belong to the Yin and Yang family, not to mention the distant ancestors in ancient times, Guiguzi, Su Qin, Zhang Yi, Shui Jing, Zhuge Liang, Yuan Tiangang, Liu Bowen, etc., who began in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, did none of them become immortals, and none of them were willing to come out to bless their children and grandchildren? The Yin and Yang family has weakened to the point where it is now, perhaps it is precisely because the ancestors are not strong, is it because the qi has been exhausted?

When we got back to the camp, everyone asked me how things were going, and I had to give them a rough explanation. Lu Qingwen and Gao Feng were also surprised, the Heavenly Master Dao of Longhu Mountain is the most authentic and longest-standing sect in Taoism in China, and the two of them have never seen a real god appear in the ancestral court of Longhu Mountain. Although this does not mean that there are no immortals in Longhu Mountain, maybe the immortals will come and leave, and there is no need to show up, but it can also be seen that the immortals will never show up easily.

Gao Feng said: "Maybe it's just that they are performing some kind of ritual and inviting Gong Cao on duty, and it just so happens that you bumped into it, in fact, when we set up an altar to cast spells, there were also immortals from all walks of life." ”

Lu Qingwen said: "Maybe they have some special methods to make the little gods and fairies who patrol the world take special care of them. ”

Khan, isn't this just a bribe? I have a very disrespectful idea, the gods have been bribed by the people of the evil sect, and only the people of the evil sect are blessed but not the decent people, so the world is long to eliminate demons. So if we continue to investigate, will a large number of immortals be involved and poke the sky into a hole?
