preface
This is the tenth year after Honghao succeeded to the throne, the Qing Dynasty was peaceful, the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, and the floating city also justifiably became a holy place that everyone in the whole country yearns for.
Zhiyun and Ouyang's magic power has increased greatly over the years, and their magic cultivation has been so high that they are only one step away from being a god, but this step is definitely not so easy to pass, so the two of them have been committed to going to different worlds through the time and space gate for many years, collecting different origin energy, in order to cross the last boundary of mortals and achieve immortality.
As a legendary mage of the space system, Ouyang didn't make many mistakes, but when he traveled in time and space, no matter who he was, he didn't dare to say that it was absolute, 100% safe.
So, during a certain trip, the two of them made a little mistake......
Prologue
The severe pain in the body really can't be erased by willpower alone!
Zhiyun frowned, feeling uncomfortable from head to toe, the white jade ground reflected in the dark color, solemn and gorgeous crown dress, very similar to the 'twelve chapters', but more mysterious and noble than the twelve chapters, every silver line on it, every word, is full of mysterious origin energy, but wearing it on her thin body, it makes her from the neck to the leg bones even more sore. γ
It was only because of this dress that after a long, long time, Zhiyun and Ouyang found that the world they set foot in was very peculiar, it seemed to be a two-dimensional world, oh, the technology was quite developed, and it was not exactly the ancient time and space they thought it was.
The reason why I say 'incomplete' is because the people here also have the power to travel through time and space, but the restrictions are very large, not only the time is limited, but the time and place that can travel through the past are also very rare, in short, Ouyang has lived here for thirteen years, and has only been to time and space similar to the Northern Song Dynasty once, and also saw the ancient Kaifeng City, but unfortunately, he was too busy to visit the Kaifeng Mansion that has been passed down through the ages.
In short, this is an extremely strange world, but probably only such a world can make it so easy for people to touch the energy of the source.
If it weren't for the fact that the mysterious origin energy here was of great benefit to the mage, and in this world, she and Ouyang had actually vaguely peeked into the way up the ladder, and she might have opened the space-time door and fled the moment she regained her strength.
Just persisted for thirteen years, Zhiyun and Ouyang gradually became satisfied with the life here.
In fact, they came into this world in the state of babies, and on the first day they arrived, they were taken into this temple, which was made entirely of white jadeβyes, real white jade, not white marble, nor what was called jade in ancient times, but was essentially stone, and the priests and maids who lived here called it a temple, and Zhiyun listened to it.
Zhiyun seems to have inherited the position of her mother in this world, and has become a saint in the temple, when she first heard an old man in a purple Tang costume, identified as her maternal grandfather, actually call her a saint with respect, Zhiyun was simply scorched by thunder, if she could speak at that time, maybe she would be arrogant and scolded - you are the saint, your whole family is a saint...... Later, when I thought that I was now also a member of his family, I was even more depressed.
It's a pity that she resisted incompetently, and then she was called for more than ten years, although it was awkward, but she also had to adapt, and Ouyang was designated as a direct priest who served her in infancy.
Well, this feels very good, a bit of the pleasure of a serf turning over to become a master.
The temple is located on a fifteen-meter-wide, sky-high pillar, isolated from the rest of the world, and beneath it is filled with a never-ending mist that never melts, and beneath the fog is a continuous mountain range that does not melt all year round.
The whole temple was so vast and vast that no one could see it in its entirety, except for the priests and the servants who served them, and no one could see or enter it.
Of course, although the temple is inaccessible, Zhiyun's life is not lonely, in fact, there is still Internet access here, and you can still communicate with people from all over the world through the Internet, and those priests are also happy to come and say a few more words to the holy woman. What's more, the altar of the temple has left the spiritual imprints of the previous saints, and Zhiyun can learn countless knowledge from it every day, and the occult knowledge that she is most interested in is obviously the most, even if it is only for these secret knowledge that has been passed down, Zhiyun is happy to live here for the rest of her life.
The only thing that Zhiyun didn't like - the saint wanted to be vegetarian was also solved after Ouyang was alive and kicking, and this pseudo-'priest' ignored those rules that he didn't have, and brought a chicken leg today, and a pig's trotter tomorrow, and bought all the people up and down the temple, and even the elders turned a blind eye to the holy woman and the little priest happily eating with their mouths full of oil.
The saint did not need to live in the temple for the rest of her life.
After all, saints are hereditary, and if they don't get married and have children, then there is no need to count on the next saint, and not all saints are willing to marry priests, so generally after the saints are fifteen years old, they can leave freely......
It's just that the saints before Zhiyun had a special fear of leaving the temple, except for the saints who didn't live to be fifteen years old, most of the others also delayed and refused to leave, after all, before they were fifteen years old, every time they left, it was not a good thing-
According to the rules of the temple, every deceased priest was cremated by the saint herself, and it is said that only then can their souls return to the place of eternal rest.
Because of this, in the past, when the holy woman left the temple, every time it meant the death of a priest, you know, the priests of the temple were each very close to the saint, and the death of the close people always left a shadow, and it was not unusual for them to be reluctant to leave the temple.

The sky was covered with thick clouds, and the sun was setting, and the last rays of sunlight piercing through the thick clouds seemed a little dark.
Zhiyun opened her eyes, her nose was filled with a smell of medicine, the smell made her sick to her stomach, and she couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Have you met a good Samaritan again?" β
"That's right......" the voice came from the bedside, with a hint of resentment......
Zhiyun turned his head with difficulty, and saw Ouyang, who had a pair of dark circles under his eyes, was helplessly shrinking on the vermilion Taishi chair and peeling a blue-green apple, "Zhiyun...... That black-hearted old doctor actually said that your body is weak, and in addition to various blood-replenishing medicines, you also need to take good white ginseng for a long time! No kidding, he gives money? β
"Poof!" Zhiyun couldn't help but smile and shook her head, this noble son who has never spent a lot of money actually has a day when he is worried about money, she really didn't expect it before, "Ahem, don't care about money or not, if it's really a big lack of money, it's a big deal that we tear down a temple beam and sell it...... This time, there will be no child protection associations...... And the attention of the police, right? No, we seem to have come to the early Ming Dynasty, it should be said, you didn't recruit the catcher, right? β
Ouyang's face was as black as the bottom of the pot for a moment...... His image had been destroyed countless times in the three years since Zhiyun left the temple, and now, the image had become a floating cloud.
"Tell me, I just went to make a mark and contact the priest here, and I only left for a short while, why did I meet the 'good Samaritan' again?" Ouyang was very depressed, this morning, he had just arrived here with Zhiyun, he went to make some markings around, and was about to wait for the priests here to find him, Zhiyun's strength suddenly skyrocketed, in order to alleviate the pain, he automatically lost consciousness, and then-- and then let the kind people who came out of nowhere be sent to the hospital......
Speaking of which, in ancient times, it was good to meet such a kind person and be sent to seek medical treatment, but in modern times, once Zhiyun was sent to the hospital, it would be really troublesome.
The kind of place in the hospital is indeed very unsuitable for her Zhiyun, her body does have problems, every time she is hospitalized, she is always issued countless critical illness notices, what internal organ failure, a certain organ hemorrhage, and so on, it makes people's hearts furious, but this is caused by the fact that her current body is unable to adapt to the rising strength, to the hospital, in addition to spending more money and suffering more, what use can it be? Modern medicine can't solve it! No, not only modern medicine, but even Zhiyun's attempt to use alchemy to re-refine a body to replace it failed, not that it couldn't be replaced, but after the replacement, there was no way to inherit the unique origin power of the saintess, so she had to obediently continue to play the delicate lady.
This is not the most unlucky, what is even more troublesome is that she always has countless scars on her body, every time she is hospitalized, Ouyang They are treated as criminals with domestic violence tendencies, and a few times even alarmed the police, if it weren't for the fact that they have people in the police world, and they are desperately trying to find reasons to explain that all these injuries were accidentally caused by themselves, those more unsophisticated priests may have to stay in prison for the rest of their lives!
Therefore, it is much better to meet a well-wisher in ancient times than in modern times, because ancient people are easier to fool and do not have as many hearts and eyes as modern people......
At this time, the door was gently pushed open, and a young man who looked to be only seventeen or eighteen years old and carried a spear in his hand walked in the door. Don't get up, the old man says you're badly injured......"
Zhiyun's eyes flashed, and he said with a smile: "Thank you Gongzi for saving me." β
The young man's face turned red, obviously he rarely spoke to a young and beautiful girl like Zhiyun, and squeaked twice at this time, but as soon as his eyes turned to Ouyang, he took a look of caution: "Little lady, don't worry, if someone bullies you, our old man will definitely give you a fair ......."
Ouyang's face darkened again.
And Zhiyun had learned not to entangle with these well-wishers, so she only nodded and thanked her very gently.
There was silence in the room for a while, and the young man looked even more embarrassed, bit it, but turned around and pushed the door out: "That, I, I'll go find the old man......"
Zhiyun watched him go out with a smile, then turned over, jumped up from the bed sharply, slapped open the window, and pulled Ouyang away, it was not the first time that the two of them had done this kind of behavior, seeing that there was no one in the small courtyard outside, as soon as they slipped out, they got out of the corner gate, and soon disappeared without a trace in the night.
There's no way, if it's just abused or not, Zhiyun, the bitter master, can explain it clearly, but when she meets this kind of simple good person, she has to take a lot of tonics and have to stay in bed to recuperate, then it's not so easy to deal with, not to mention the bitter and unbearable taste of Chinese medicine soup, it really can't get into the mouth, only the cost of those medicine supplements, Zhiyun is really unwilling to let them go down the drain easily.
Speaking of which, they don't know how many years of existence this mysterious organization headed by the temple, and their financial resources seem to be very strong, but unfortunately, most of them belong to fixed assets that must not be used, although many priests and maids themselves have large companies at home, and they can provide a lot of money, but no matter how much money there is, it can't compare to the cost of flowing water, just this year's research and production of a few sets of new magic weapons, the financial situation is beyond their means, and countless priests have to work hard to exorcise demons at the same time, they have to do odd jobs to support their lives, It's not easy.
In the past, the people of the organization also tried to bring a few antiques by the way when traveling through time and space, but carrying things, especially dead things, required too much source power, and it was okay to only talk about a few things, and if they wanted to sell in large quantities, it was not enough to squeeze all the source power of Zhiyun, so after a few times, everyone had to give up this road to making money.
When Ouyang and Zhiyun returned to the mountain, the priests here had already arrived, and Zhiyun was instantly surrounded by more than a dozen battle priests in the center, and Lu Changfeng, who was the leader, also breathed a sigh of relief, his eyebrows and eyes were soothed, and the sadness in his expression dissipated slightly.
"It's almost time...... Ouyang looked at the sky and sighed, "The mission of the thirteenth group of the priests in charge of this piece failed, two of the ten people went crazy, seven died, and only one had to return to the temple to recuperate, this year's task is very heavy...... When the funeral is over, you can go back quickly, this kind of heavy demon land is better to stay less. β
Speaking of which, in this world, Ouyang's identity is almost the same as when he was on Earth, and even the things he deals with are the same.
In this world, there are more and more demons bred by the dark side of the human heart, so there is an organization to eliminate evil demons led by a holy woman with purifying powers, this organization has no code name, only a temple that does not know how long it has existed as a holy place, in addition to the temple, there are many research institutes and sub-bases in the modern secular world, and there are all over the world, and the members are also in all countries, but since they have become priests, it seems that the difference between countries is not too big.
Of course, occasionally they will follow the traces of evil demons, set up small teams across time and space, and set up enchantments to prevent evil demons from wreaking havoc, but in this case, because of the difficulty of support, it is also difficult to supply various equipment, and the priests have sacrificed a lot, and the priests who died in battle in a year account for more than 70%.
Zhiyun actually rarely comes to the front line, although she has the great aura of a saint, but the only task is to obediently stay in the protective circle erected by everyone and live happily. Just like the great elder of the temple, Zhiyun's maternal grandfather Yang Jinhong said-as long as you live happily, comfortably, and safely, it is the greatest support for the priests.
As for what the society said, then let's take a look at the composition of the organization action team, and you will understand that the action team of the entire organization, according to the region, is assigned to each group to be responsible, and the personnel composition of each group is the same, all of which are three parts, the first part is more than three enchantment masters, who are responsible for setting up the enchantment with the magic weapon blessed by the source power while discovering the evil spirit, and the second part, more than two demon slayers, responsible for defeating the evil demons with the magic weapon blessed by the source power, and the third part is the logistics team. A team of at least twenty probationary priests or more is responsible for cleaning up the aftermath, such as erasing the memories of those who saw the demons through hypnosis, restoring the environment damaged by the battle, or finding various excuses to cover up the past, in short, never let ordinary people know about the existence of demons.
It can be seen from this that no matter how powerful the people in the action team are, they must use the magic weapon blessed by the source power of the Holy Maiden, otherwise there is no way to defeat the evil demons.
Therefore, for the expectation of the grandfather and the priests of this body, and as a thank you gift for using others to obtain and study the origin energy, Zhiyun is very obedient, never takes half a step out of the protective circle, never runs to the front line on impulse to cause trouble for the combat priests, always obediently stays in the rear, and strives to make his life better.
Of course, with such an unlucky body, there is no need to look forward to such a thing as the beginning and comfort of life, and the goal of living safely is still no problem for the determined mage Zhiyun to work hard.
