"My lord, I didn't find anything."

After inspecting the upper and lower parts of this Taoist temple, his subordinates did not find anything unusual, and reported the situation to Cheng Zhixian, who was kneeling on the futon.

Cheng Xiangxian's posture is to kneel and bow to the statue in the middle of the Taoist temple hall in front of him, and he still has words in his mouth, as if he is also praying silently.

This Taoist temple is called "Shunren View", in the Chaomen City, the large and small Taoist temples are not big or small, the master is a serious old man, at this time he sits on another futon next to Cheng Xiangxian, and sits upright as if he has been settled.

After a long time after his subordinates reported back, Cheng Xiangxian stopped praying, slowly opened his eyes, spread his hands again, and bowed twice in a cherished place.

Few people know about this habit of becoming the first. Although he was an official of the Fushen Governor, an official of the imperial court in charge of various religious sects, he would worship any god he saw when he saw it.

After doing everything, Cheng Fu stood up first, first saluted solemnly to the master who was sitting on the side, raised his head, and said in a cold tone: "The master of the audience is pure in heart and has few desires, and naturally lives and is blessed with heaven." But if you know that Guiguan has colluded with the evil spirit sect in the future, even if the gods protect you, Fu Shendu will not spare it! ”

The old viewer's eyes were slightly closed, and he did not stand up, but raised his right hand and pointed towards the door, which means to send off guests.

Cheng went out with his subordinates first, and they were dressed in majestic swallow clothes, which were always incompatible with the pure decorations around them.

Walking out of the door, Cheng went to see a middle-aged man standing there. Cheng Tingdong was holding his cigarette pouch in his left hand, and the curling smoke exuded a pungent smell, and his majestic eyes had been on this young man since Cheng went out first.

Cheng Fuxian's face moved slightly, "Father ......"

……

"As one of the Three Spirit Sects, what exactly is the resting place going to do?"

Qiu Shaohu, who returned to the inn, began to sort out the existing information and frowned.

The resting place, the Zhenchi Sect, and the Zhenkang Shrine, known as the "Three Spirits Sect" by the world, are scattered all over the continent.

According to their doctrines, their beliefs are also different.

The resting place believes in the existence of the "other realm" and calls on believers to go together to find their holy land, the Pure Land.

However, unlike the "ascension to the other side" of ordinary practice sects, the "other side" that the resting place believes in is actually closer to "hell". They believe that there is an end point for the soul, and that death alone does not allow people to enter this ultimate holy place, and that only by finding the right path can everyone step into this final homecoming. And only by reaching the true "other realm" can all living beings be completely and finally at rest.

The belief in the "One True God" is the belief of the Shinike religion. Unlike the sculptures in Taoist temples that serve as sustenance of faith, the Shinike sect truly believes in the existence of "gods" and believes that everything must be dedicated to the only god in order to achieve consummation.

Compared to the first two, Zhenkang Shrine is much more mysterious. As the state religion of Lang Kingdom, its tentacles rarely probed to other places, and it was hidden in the palace after the snowstorm in the far north all day long, and few people knew the true details, only that those who joined called themselves "apostles" and regarded themselves as the only orthodox believers.

The Three Spirits Sect has a strange style of behavior, and rarely interacts with other sects, some people regard it as a cult, and some people don't care about it at all.

As for the resting place, Qiu Shaohu had dealt with them before, and when passing by Lizhou, the proprietress obviously had a lot to do with the resting place.

But no matter what happens right now, Qiu Shaohu has indeed met a resting place in Chaomen, and the other party has a lot to do with the evaporation of the Lingchuan Sect.

What does this sect that believes in "death" and "the other side" want from the Lingchuan sect?

Thinking hard to no avail, Qiu Shaohu also had some regrets, if he could catch the old Dao Pond when he left last night, maybe he would be able to ask something from his mouth. But as soon as he left, the other party disappeared.

"Perhaps, it can be done in a different way." Qiu Shaohu thought of a solution, so he took out three copper coins.

Divination and calculation have always been the method of Taoist practice, and outsiders will think that divination is absurd, but after knowing certain conditions, adding the consideration of time, you can predict many things that common sense cannot speculate.

It's like an experienced person who sees the dark clouds in the west and can guess the next heavy rain; When you see a leaf falling, you know that the world is about to fall.

Three copper coins, thrown six times, the final hexagram is - litigation hexagram.

"Don't do coercive things, refrain from indisputable disputes, is this the final result of the lawsuit?" Qiu Shaohu thought to himself: "The end of the smallest cannot be underestimated, and the existing path may not be feasible." Maybe I need to do something that goes with the flow, as it shows. ”

Thinking like this, Qiu Shaohu left the inn and planned to go out to have a look. In Chaomen City at this time, he hasn't taken a good look yet.

……

Outside the gate of the official mansion, Cheng Tingdong and Cheng Quxian stood here. The wide scale and gloomy color of the Yamen archway stood there like a mountain pressing over, and the people who passed by were forced by its momentum to avoid it.

Only the father and son turned a blind eye to this.

"How's it going?" Cheng Tingdong spit out smoke rings and looked at the north.

"Very good, I asked someone to bring you a message last time, but you forgot." Cheng went to say first.

"The person you're looking for is a woman?" Cheng Tingdong frowned and pondered, "Which woman?" I don't remember her. ”

"Then I'll say it again, I've done everything you told me. Although no one had seized the stolen goods in the turmoil of the Phoenix Pavilion last night, there were clues. I've also been preparing for the Lingchuan Sect that you explained......"

"I'm not asking you this, I'm asking you about your life."

"It's also very good, I went to a Taoist temple again today, and bowed to the statue inside, and my heart was much calmer."

"I told you, don't be like those Taoist priests, cling to these things of burning incense and worshiping God, you might as well practice more martial arts, and then ......"

"Then like you, father, who has been an important minister and general for many years, was still sent here by the imperial court." Cheng went to the first and said bluntly.

"Even if we usually talk to father and son, can you not always show an attitude of dealing with your boss." Cheng Tingdong coughed and looked directly at his son.

"Because father, you're more used to being a boss than a parent, aren't you?" Cheng went to the first place and said: "The contact between you and your three henchmen is more frequent than mine. ”

"I said that you should have some respect for them, and among them is your mother's brother, your uncle." Cheng Tingdong's tone was unconsciously harsh.

"Because through them, you can somehow get back some of the feelings you had before your mother died." Cheng Fuxian said: "You have always missed your mother very much. ”

Cheng Tingdong didn't speak, but just took a deep puff of his cigarette pouch.

The sachet hanging on the cigarette pouch was embroidered by his wife Yaoxin back then.

"Your Excellency, according to your orders, we have all laid it out, this is the latest situation." A subordinate of Fu Shendu came to report the situation to Cheng Tingdong, and Cheng Tingdong casually took the other party's letter and looked at it carefully.

Cheng Quxian quietly left at this time.

……

"I'm going to order a trap box, the size and function are all on this picture......" said Qiu Shaohu in Shengongmen.

Coming out of the Shengong Gate, although Qiu Shaohu was going to take a stroll around Chaomen City, he still consciously came to an area.

There are many low temples on both sides of the road, where various gods are enshrined, including the Night Wandering God, the Land Gong, and the City God. The old buildings here are the first areas after the construction of the Chaomen city, and it also records the original worship of the people born with the sea for the unknown and mysterious.

Qiu Shaohu guessed that since the resting place went to find the Lingchuan Sect, he might also come to the vicinity of here.

He walked around the corner of the road, and he couldn't help but stop.

He saw Cheng go first into the largest temple at the end of the road, alone.
