Volume 1 Catechumens Chapter 15 Kumho

With a little worry, Wu Xie left Qingyang Mountain.

Jinhu County, Yunmeng County, was in the southwest of Qingyang Mountain in Yanling County, but he flew north first and came to Changning City.

Kumho Longjun's matter was a little strange, and before he went to investigate, he felt that he should consult Xiao Buyi, a master diviner, for his opinion.

"Kumho Ryujun's faith has shifted, and she herself has closed the Dragon Palace for many years - but strangely, the clouds and rain have not fallen all these years, and the same is true for choosing a maid or something." Xiao Buyi repeated Wu Jie's words, his fingers lightly tapping on the tabletop, and he fell into deep thought.

After a moment, he nodded, indicating that he already had some guesses.

He took Wu Xie to his quiet room for divination, took out a basin of ritual water and a bag of extremely fine white sand, closed his eyes and calmed down, while reciting a song that Wu Xie did not understand, while slowly sprinkling the white sand into the water of the law.

The white sand falls into the water and slowly sinks towards the luge, but it gradually spreads out a strange shape under the action of mysterious forces. After reciting a song, a handful of white sand was just finished, Xiao Buyi waited for all the white sand to settle down before opening his eyes and looking at the bottom of the pelvis.

At this glance, his brow suddenly furrowed.

Wu Xie waited for him to cast a spell to separate the sand and water again, and put away the magic weapon again, before he asked worriedly, "What's wrong?" Isn't it bad? ”

"It's not bad, it's just weird...... The Dragon Monarch's life palace is still very stable, and there should be no danger. But her luck has shifted, just like ...... She is no longer the Dragon Monarch. ”

Wu Xie was stunned: "What do you mean by this?" ”

"It's a hassle to be specific...... In short, a stable natal house means that the person is now healthy and happy; And the deviation of luck means that there is a problem in his career. Xiao Buyi explained, "Kumho Longjun's career has gone wrong, and the specific situation is that her 'priesthood' is slowly leaving her and flowing in other directions. ”

"What a strange! The priesthood of the dragon monarch is nothing more than the word grace, grace is to travel clouds and rain, and power is to make waves. No one else can do these things, how could her luck be offset? ”

This divination result not only made Wu Xie at a loss, but Xiao Buyi was also confused.

The two of them stared at each other for a while, and Xiao Buyi finally came up with a reasonable explanation.

"If the luck of the human officials is deviated, then the lord will force the servants to oppress the master, and there is a intention of usurpation. But if the usurper has been able to shift his luck, how can the life palace be so stable? Unless she didn't care at all that her priesthood was taken away, or she didn't notice it at all. ”

"What happens if the priesthood is taken away?"

"It's not good, Long Jun is a monk like us, and he is at ease without the priesthood." Xiao Buyi waved his hand and said very freely, "For example, the emperor of Chu wants to ask me to be a national teacher, which is very similar to the priesthood. But I don't want to! What a hassle! And if something happens to Chu State, I have to do my best to help...... It's not worth it for this little benefit. ”

"Then what are the dragon monarchs willing to do?"

"On the one hand, it is to maintain the pride of the dragon clan, because the waters of the world are managed by the dragon clan; On the other hand, it is probably the rules set by the ancestral dragon in the past...... This can only be said to be speculation, after all, the ancestral dragon is too far away, and it is a figure from the Holy Emperor's Lixin era. ”

When Wu Xie heard this, his eyebrows raised, and he asked in his heart: "Du Xin, do you know about the ancestral dragon back then?" ”

"Zhilu Dao, Emperor Lixin swept the world and divided Kyushu. In this process, he received strong support from the dragon clan, so he later set the rule that all the waters of the world were managed by the dragon clan, and respected the patriarch of the dragon clan at that time as the ancestral dragon. Du Xin is almost a first-hand witness of that period of history, and she knows those things very well, "Later, the various factions besieged the Great Light God Sect, and the Dragon Clan did not intervene, the reason is that the affairs on land have nothing to do with our water tribe, and the water tribe only cares about things in the water." ”

"He's so unmotivated!" During this time, she had been busy making something, and Jasmine, who had only recently been free, immediately expressed her disdain for Zulong, "Young people should have sharpness!" The so-called 'what's yours is mine, mine is still mine', this is the correct attitude to be a person and do things! ”

"It's an outdated attitude." Du Ruo had long been accustomed to Jasmine's style, and complained before Wu Jie, "You have to talk about rules in these days." ”

"I'm talking about the rules, the strong occupy resources, and the weak depend on the strong, what's wrong?"

“…… There really doesn't seem to be anything wrong with that. Du Xin was thoughtful.

"Don't believe her! You ask her to what extent is 'the strong appropriating resources'? ”

"Didn't I just say that yours is mine, mine is still mine."

"What's included?" Wu Xie asked.

"All of them." Jasmine said quite reasonably.

"Be specific!"

Jasmine looked puzzled and asked curiously, "I don't understand how to be specific, master, can't you make it clear?" ”

Wu Xie sighed and asked bluntly: "For example, if you take the Supreme Divine Monarch back then as an example, does his 'all' include the bodies and souls of all the people in the territory that can be controlled?" ”

"Of course! People are also resources! Even if you can't cultivate successfully, it's still a material for refining weapons and alchemy! ”

Du Xin's eyes widened for a moment, and she moved her body cautiously to distance herself from her.

Compared with Wu Xie and Du Ruo's sigh of "I just know that the Tao is like this", Du Xin's subconscious escape behavior made Jasmine feel very hurt, drooped her long ears, and went back to sleep under the spirit tree with her head down.

"Alas! This world is completely broken......"

Wu Xie pursed his lips, he felt that it was definitely not this world world that was broken, but Jasmine's soul that was too polluted!

Bidding farewell to Xiao Buyi, Wu Xie flew towards the south with his sword light, and flew to Jinhu County, Yunmeng County in almost two days.

Kumho County is named because of its proximity to Kumho, a narrow lake that is not large, about 20 miles from east to west, and the longest point from north to south is less than 10 miles - strictly speaking, it is actually a section of the "Ji River", a tributary of the famous large river "Yueshui" in the south, but because of the topography, it is short and wide, and looks like a lake.

After Wu Xie came to Kumho County, he first visited the Dragon Temple here. He changed into an ordinary Taoist robe, claiming to be a loose cultivator "Du Ruo" who traveled the world, visiting Taoist friends everywhere and looking for opportunities.

This kind of behavior is not surprising, and many casual cultivators who happen to have the opportunity to step on the path but are unable to go any further. This is especially true for those young people who have not yet been trained in the rivers and lakes and still retain beautiful fantasies about the path of monasticism.

They are often not accustomed to the life of plundering and being plundered, and they still dream of relying on chance and hard work to make continuous progress, and even get the favor of a certain senior, and obtain superior exercises.

Such casual cultivators are the easiest to be bought and the easiest to take advantage of. Even if you don't have bad intentions, it doesn't hurt to form a friendship with them in times of trouble.

What's even more rare is that although this loose cultivator "Du Ruo" is young, his Taoism is very profound. The cultivation of the Hundred Refinement Realm is already a rare master in the casual cultivation!

Therefore, when he politely came to visit, the Taoist priests of the Dragon Temple were both surprised and delighted, and after a little discussion, they were received by the highest Taoist in the temple.

Wu Xie is a generous and polite person, and his cultivation in the realm of hundred refinements highlights the value of this politeness. Seeing that this master had a kind attitude, the originally somewhat nervous mood relaxed a lot, and he had a little less worry when he spoke.

After drinking tea and greeting a few words, the Taoist tried to inquire about the meaning of "Du Ruo".

"In the past few years, my cultivation has not improved, I think the exercises I have obtained are not advanced enough, and my current realm is already the limit. Therefore, I traveled in Kyushu, not only to get a breakthrough in my travels, but also to hope that there would be some opportunity to get better exercises. ”

Wu Jie's words were reasonable, and they were exactly the most common situation for loose cultivators. An Xian Daoist pondered for a while, but didn't see a problem, so he temporarily believed his statement.

"The predecessors are profound, and this trip will definitely be able to gain something again. At that time, we will make further progress, and we will fly thousands of miles in and out of the green underworld, which is just around the corner! ”

Seeing that he suddenly became so polite and enthusiastic, Wu Xie couldn't help but be a little puzzled, and asked bluntly: "Fellow Daoist An Xian, I'm not a person who is good at guessing riddles, if you have anything to say, just say it directly, and go around the bend like this...... It's very uncomfortable! ”

Hearing this, An Xian Daoist smiled all over his face, and asked cautiously: "The predecessors are profound, can you give guidance in the next two?" ”

Wu Xie suddenly realized, and was about to say yes, but after thinking about it, he asked first: "Daoyou's words are wrong." Although you are not as good as me, but you are leaning against the big tree of Longjun behind you, what do you not understand, why don't you ask Longjun? ”

"Long Jun is the orthodoxy of the world's water tribe, this line has a long history, and there are countless masters. With the current Taoism of Taoist friends, isn't it easy to give some guidance? ”

An Xiandao hesitated for a moment and sighed deeply.

"The predecessors don't know that the dragon monarch enshrined in this temple ...... It has been hundreds of years since our prayers have been answered! ”

Wu Xie was startled, and almost couldn't help but stand up, and his voice was a little louder: "Long Jun doesn't respond to prayers?" Could it be that the local Dragon Monarch is no longer there? ”

"Nope! No! The dragon monarch must still be there, and every year at the dragon god festival, she will rain incense. Precipitation on dry days, drainage on rainy days, and never slack off - to be honest, as far as the old Tao knows, there is no second dragon monarch in the world who is so serious and responsible as our Kumho Dragon Monarch! ”

"Then why doesn't she answer your prayers? Have you sinned against her? ”

An Xian Daoist immediately shook his head: "Senior's words are wrong, have you ever heard of Long Jun who does not retaliate after being offended?" If we were really rude to her, we would have been flooded by lightning and water, and where would we be able to live until now! ”

"What's more...... Even if someone offends her occasionally, it is impossible to offend her every generation for hundreds of years! ”

This makes a lot of sense, and it seems that the Taoist priests of the Dragon King Temple have already considered this issue.

"They are not angry, they do not answer your prayers, and they are still working...... What does this Dragon Monarch mean? ”

"Alas! Providence is unpredictable, Long Jun's mind ...... It's just as unpredictable! ”

Looking at the peaceful Taoist with a sad face, Wu Xie couldn't help but feel sad for this half-old monk.

In the eyes of the people, the Taoist leaders of the Dragon Temple are strong in mana, and they are protected by the dragon god.

But in reality? Not only did they not get the slightest benefit from the Dragon King, but they also had to pretend to be unfathomable in order to maintain the people's belief in the Dragon Temple.

This is really a rat drilling bellows, and both ends are angry!

After a little silence, he agreed to the request of the Peaceful Daoist, saying that he could spare half an hour every day to answer the questions encountered by the people in the Dragon God Temple in their cultivation, and he had the right to pay for the accommodation in the temple.

The accommodation fee was too high, and the people of the Idle Dao stayed for a long time, and when they came back to their senses, the old Dao, whose hair was more than half gray, couldn't help but laugh, and waved to Wu Xie Lianlian, and then rushed out of the city happily to convey the good news to the brothers.

Wu Xie sat there and shook his head secretly, once again deeply feeling the hard work of the scattered cultivators.

Xiao Buyi, they did their best to compete for the true inheritance of the god of cloth; A swarm of bees did everything they could to snatch cultivation resources; And these veterans are low-minded in order to get some guidance......

Recalling the scene just now, Lao Dao, who was only afraid that he was older than his father, shouted with him, and called "senior" one by one, Wu Xie couldn't help but sigh again.

Mortals say that immortals are good, but they don't know that immortals also have the troubles of immortals!
