Unexpectedly, when he was about to have a true belief in the 'Qingfu Zhengshen', his grandfather, who had taught him to worship the gods and cast spells since he was a child, suddenly reduced the gods to 'tools', which made Zhang Muzi speechless.

And Li Shansan did not continue to delve into the topic just now, but snuffed out the cigarette that was almost finished, opened another one, and asked his grandson: "Cub, you know that tomorrow is the 'Spring Festival' of 'Shenluo', right?"

'Spring Festival' is a festival unique to Shenla Island, on which the island's daylight and night are exactly the same length, and the islanders celebrate the harvest and the upcoming fishing season with all kinds of plants, whether they are specially planted crops or wild trees, to ripen and ripen.

"How could I not know about this kind of thing now," Zhang Muzi was stunned for a moment and replied after hearing his grandfather's question: "Priest Li, who is in charge of the palace and temple, told me a few days ago that if you don't come to 'Shenluo' during the spring festival, I had better pray for the believers on your behalf."

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Li Shansan waving his hand, "The most important thing for us Chinese is to be justified, you are not the owner of the 'Tianxing Palace', why do you pray for tens of thousands of believers on the most important annual worship day of the 'Shenluo'."

Okay, from now on, you will go on a diet, meditate, and bathe and change your clothes at night, and Azu will pass on the position of palace monarch to you, so that you will become justified tomorrow. ”

"But I still have to take the university entrance examination and go to college, grandfather, how can I have time to take care of the palace temple at that time," Zhang Muzi's eyes lit up, and a thought suddenly appeared in his heart, hesitated for a while, and said in a low voice: "Unless you can persuade my father and mother to let me stop studying, it is meaningless for this 'palace monarch' to pass on to me."

Actually, I've thought about it, isn't it just to get a good position and live a good life in the future, since you have passed on to me such a big family business, what's the point of me going to college...", while gesturing with his hand in front of my grandfather.

Seeing that he was a thief, gestured with his hands and feet, and talked to himself, Li Shansan bent his fingers, knocked on his grandson's head fiercely, and scolded half-truthfully: "Look at your little bit of interest."

Didn't you say all day long that it was the interstellar age, and no one would believe it in calling the gods immediately, and it would be useless to learn, let me leave time for you to read idle books, why are you talking about it now?

The family business passed down from my ancestors, after I got it, I didn't want to continue to carry it forward, but I planned to eat and wait for death for the rest of my life, really, I was really angry.

You don't want to think about it, if Ancestor and I had guarded the ruined temple in Tiangong Town, would you have the scenery you have today. ”

"Okay, don't I just talk about it casually," Zhang Muzi touched his head angrily, "If you don't let you eat or talk, then I'll go upstairs to diet and sit quietly." He grinned in pain and turned around and ran back to the third floor of the wooden building.

Originally, he thought that his grandfather would soon follow him upstairs, but he didn't expect to wait from noon until evening, and he didn't even see a ghost.

At this time, Zhang Muzi was already unconsciously stubborn, although he was already hungry with his chest against his back, but he gritted his teeth and endured it and never went downstairs, until it was already dark, he felt that his head was beginning to be confused, and finally saw someone appear in front of him.

That person was Li Nanhe, who was wearing a black and white official dress with a floating palace pattern embroidered on his chest, and when he came upstairs, he saluted respectfully and said: "Young Gongjun, Lao Gongjun has been meditating in the 'Lingxiao Palace' all day long, summoning you to bathe and change your clothes, and go to the main hall. ”。

"Good. Feeling an invisible solemn atmosphere, with the tall and thin old man bowing down, Zhang Muzi's anger and stubbornness dissipated unconsciously, and disappeared without a trace, stood up and nodded solemnly, wearing a robe, walking with steps, and walked down the wooden building.

Came to the outside of the building, saw that the whole ** was already brightly lit, all the priests were dressed in formal clothes and stood in the courtyard, Zhang Muzi bathed in the boiling cold spring without saying a word, changed into a white front, black back and no other colors and patterns of Chinese robes, under the guidance of many priests, came to the front of the Lingxiao Treasure Hall in the center of the vestibule of the palace temple.

Seeing Bai Jian, the leader of the Three Realms and Eight Divisions of the Three Realms and Three Hundred and Sixty-five Qingfu Righteous Gods, sitting cross-legged on the futon with the golden body of Zhangba, looking like his grandfather who was closing his eyes to recuperate, he paused slightly, took a deep breath, and stepped into the dim hall where only seven or eight candles were lit.

When the priests on both sides saw this scene, they immediately worked together to gently close the door of the temple, and in an instant, the huge hall was completely isolated from the outside world.

"Come, cub, sit here, and I'll tell you about the origin of our Li family ancestor. Hearing the soft sound of the temple door, Li Shanxian opened his eyes and looked at his grandson, pointed to the futon in front of him and said abruptly.

The shadows of the statues of the gods in the temple reflected by the flickering candlelight are distorted and long, and if ordinary people are in it, they will inevitably have some depression and fear.

However, Zhang Muzi has also grown up in the palace temple since he was a child, and he has long taken care of this scene, so he blindly didn't feel that he walked to the statue and sat down cross-legged, and said indifferently: "Grandpa, isn't it, you asked me to diet and meditate all day, just to listen to you talk about the ancients."

And you have already said that the ancestors of our Li family have lived in Tiangong Town of 'Yuantai' since the Zhu Dynasty, and they have been opening palaces and temples for hundreds of years, and they are mages who drive away evil spirits for others, what else can they do?"

"Since the 'Zhu Ming' period, the ancestors of our family have indeed been reduced to gods and boys who have not entered the folk for generations, but in the Zhao and Song dynasties, they were Taoist 'heavenly masters and real people' who were enshrined by the emperor on Longhu Mountain..."

It turns out that the earliest and most exquisite ancestor of the Li family in Tiangong Town, Yuantai, is a person named Li Jietong more than 1,000 years ago, who was born in a peasant family, and the reason why this person is called such a strange name is because the weather was dry on the day he was born.

At this time, I happened to hear that the wife of the 'stable woman' who was pregnant for ten months gave birth to a big fat boy, and she was overjoyed for a while, so she directly made a name with the word "interception", which also shows her father's rude and domineering nature.

Contrary to his father, Li Jietong has been gentle and intelligent since he was a child, and he is quite eager to learn, but unfortunately his family is poor and cannot study.

So he was unwilling to face the loess with his back to the sky all his life and work in the field, he ran away from home and traveled thousands of miles from the land of Qilu to the foot of Pengmen Longhu Mountain, one of the ancestral lands of Taoism, pretending that his hometown was plagued by the plague and died, leaving him alone in the world, in order to survive, he was willing to sell himself to join the mountain gate as a slave.

At that time, it was the Zhao and Song dynasties of China, and the emperor Huizong of the dynasty was dedicated to the Tao, calling himself the "Taoist King", and the Taoist gate was greatly prospered, and all the Taoist priests who went to the "Gong" were supported by the government, and most of the heads of the Taoist hall had official ranks, known as "Taoist officials", and the court officials fought against each other.

In this case, those who want to enter the Taoist gate are like carp crossing the river, but to write the name into the '箓牒', it is simply difficult for the people of Li to ascend to the sky.

However, it is not too difficult to enter the Taoist hall as a servant to do some miscellaneous labor to make a living, and Li Jietong told his story of his miserable and pitiful experience, which made the 'Zhike Taoist' of Longhu Mountain Gate feel pity, and he really left him behind and arranged to work in the firewood room.

Because he was the youngest of the six servants who cut wood and cut wood in front of Longhu Mountain, and the boys and girls looked like a girl, they were nicknamed 'Six Maids' by other miscellaneous servants.

However, although the servants in the Taoist sect are rough and mean, most of the Taoists who have entered the 'Gong Mu' are erudite, and they have the opportunity, with their natural intelligence and hard work, in the past 20 years, Li Jietong has relied on his clever mouth and sold obedient East to learn a word, and West to learn a son, and he has learned to read, and secretly memorized tens of thousands of volumes of Taoist classics in Longhu Mountain.

With the real ability, he was naturally unwilling to be a slave for the rest of his life, so he deliberately sang Taoist songs when chopping wood to seek chance, and in a few years he really created a great reputation, and gradually even the dignitaries and dignitaries of Bianjing, the capital of the Zhao and Song dynasties, also knew that there was a woodcutter in Pengmen Longhu Mountain.

After getting to know the nobles, Li Jietong easily jumped over the moat, and turned from the enslavement of the fire in the mountain gate to the man of the way.

More than 20 years of hard planning, finally became a person on top, but he was not satisfied, began to visit the Taoist blessed land, famous mountains and rivers, and people debated the scriptures, three or four years without a rival, the fame was shocked and finally on the heavens to listen, was known by the Taoist Emperor, called into the palace to sing and 'green words' for three days, coaxing the dragon face Dayue, was named 'Heavenly Master Zhenren' in one fell swoop.
