Chapter 39 Identifying Candidates

Xu Mingwen's whole body shook.

He raised his head and smiled at He Qiu: "Just now, I blamed Xiaodao for having no eyes and beads, and I bumped into the envoy, forgive me!" ”

These words were so humble that the fat Taoist priest couldn't help but say: "Master, are you confused, this person couldn't even take out the money for five sticks of incense just now, how could he ......?"

β€œpia!”

Xu Mingwen got up quickly and slapped the fat Taoist priest in the face.

Then Xu Mingwen said angrily: "You bastard, you dare to question the identity of the envoy, can't you see the three or five slashing swords in the hands of the envoy?" ”

The Three Five Evil Male and Female Sword is the sword of the first generation of Heavenly Master Zhang Daoling.

After Zhang Daoling went to immortal, this three-five slashing evil male and female sword was regarded as a token of inheritance, passed down from generation to generation in the Heavenly Master's Mansion of Longhu Mountain, and was held by the Heavenly Master of Longhu Mountain in the past dynasties.

Unfortunately, during the Yuan Dynasty, this sword was accidentally lost.

After that, the Heavenly Master's Mansion imitated the style of the original sword and recast two three-five slashing male and female swords.

One of them is still held by successive celestial masters.

The other handle has become a token of the envoy of Longhu Mountain.

When Xu Mingwen was young, he was fortunate to follow his master to Longhu Mountain, visited the heavenly master at that time, and saw the true face of the three or five evil male and female swords, and was very impressed.

So when He Qiu raised the copper sword in his hand, Xu Mingwen recognized it at a glance, and confirmed the identity of He Qiu's envoy from Dragon Tiger Mountain.

Zhu Yuanzhang, the Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, sealed the Longhu Mountain Heavenly Master's Mansion as "forever in charge of Taoist affairs in the world", turning Longhu Mountain into a Taoist ancestral court.

The Heavenly Master's Mansion spoke, and all the Taoist temples in the world must obey the order.

A Taoist temple like Longquan Temple, which has been broken, is equivalent to a little ant in front of the Heavenly Master's Mansion.

With just one talisman, Longquan Temple can be completely removed from Taoism.

For Xu Mingwen, He Qiu, the envoy of Dragon and Tiger Mountain, was no different from an immortal, so he was respectful.

As a result, he was kneeling down for the sake of Longquanguan's future, but his apprentice was questioning He Qiu's identity as an envoy.

Xu Mingwen didn't kill this fat Taoist priest, so it's not bad.

After a slap, Xu Mingwen felt puzzled, and slapped the fat Taoist priest twice.

"Master, stop fighting, I know it's wrong!"

The fat Taoist priest was subdued on the spot.

Xu Mingwen said coldly: "If you know it's wrong, why don't you quickly kneel down to the envoy?" ”

The fat Taoist priest hurriedly knelt on the ground and apologized vigorously to He Qiu, which was very different from his previous arrogant appearance.

Seeing this, the other apprentices around immediately knelt down.

In the entire Jade Emperor Palace, only He Qiu was standing.

This feeling is just three words, double cool.

However, he still said to Xu Mingwen with a flat expression: "Okay, tell your apprentices to go out, you stay, I have something to tell you!" ”

Xu Mingwen didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly expelled the disciples and closed the door of the Jade Emperor Palace.

Then, Xu Mingwen bowed down and stood in front of He Qiu, and arched his hand and said, "If the envoy has any orders, just say it!" ”

He Qiu tapped his fingers on the table and said casually: "Recently, the rain in Shuntianfu has not fallen, you know this, right?" ”

Xu Mingwen nodded and said: "Xiaodao knows, the crops in my Longquanguan field have died of drought, and as a last resort, I have to think of some radical ways to earn money to feed these disciples of the Taoist Temple, please forgive me!" ”

As he spoke, Xu Mingwen's tears flowed down, and he looked particularly aggrieved.

He Qiu waved his hand and said: "Okay, don't do this in front of me, the matter just now has passed, I won't pursue it anymore, I came to you today for something else!" ”

Xu Mingwen immediately stopped his tears and smiled at He Qiu: "I know that the envoy is magnanimous and will not care about me and others, may I ask what the envoy is looking for?" ”

He Qiu said straight to the point: "Three days later, King Yan will set up an altar to ask for rain, I hope you will be this person who asks for rain!" ”

"What?"

Xu Mingwen was stunned at that time.

After a long while, Xu Mingwen said with a bitter face: "Envoy, I'm ...... I'm not going to ask for rain! ”

He Qiu raised his eyebrows and said, "You always look like you, right?" ”

Xu Mingwen hesitated and said, "This ...... Please forgive me, Xiaodao really hasn't asked for rain, and he really won't make a show! ”

Now the whole of Suncheonfu is waiting for a heavy rain.

At this juncture, no Taoist priest dared to ask for rain, and the pressure was too great.

It's good to say that if you don't succeed, then you will really be ruined.

The most important thing is that since ancient times, there has been a custom of sacrificing to ask for rain.

If you really can't ask for rain, you may be hacked to death on the spot to sacrifice to the sky.

Xu Mingwen clearly didn't want to take that risk.

It's a pity that He Qiu has already identified him.

β€œpia!”

He Qiu slapped the table, looked at Xu Mingwen coldly, and said, "Are you entertaining me?" I'll tell you the truth, in addition to being the messenger of Longhu Mountain, I am also the teacher of the prince of Yanwang, if you shouldn't do this errand today, tomorrow I will ask King Yan to demolish your Taoist temple, and then let Longhu Mountain reform your Taoism! ”

The threat is just too great.

Xu Mingwen's psychological defense line collapsed all of a sudden.

"Don't, this is ...... I...... Can't I do it? ”

After Xu Mingwen finished speaking, the whole person sat down on the ground, with tears in his eyes, like a forced little daughter-in-law.

He Qiu nodded with satisfaction and said: "That's right, three days later, the guards of the Yanwang Mansion will come here to pick you up, and you will wear the key points when the time comes!" ”

When Xu Mingwen heard this, he immediately remembered that he was wearing a shroud.

This time it's really a lot of bad luck.

Xu Mingwen sighed secretly, forcibly stood up and said to He Qiuzuo: "Please rest assured, Xiaodao...... We will definitely live up to the expectations of the envoys! ”

He Qiu patted Xu Mingwen on the shoulder and said, "Do a good job, don't worry too much, I promise in the name of Longhu Mountain, there will definitely be rain on the day you ask for rain!" ”

Xu Mingwen only thought that He Qiu was comforting himself, although he didn't believe it very much in his heart, he still nodded and said, "Understood, thank you Envoy!" ”

He Qiu snorted, then picked up the three-five slashing male and female sword, and walked out of the Jade Emperor Hall leisurely.

Xu Mingwen looked at He Qiu's back, and suddenly burst into tears.

Those apprentices poured into the Jade Emperor Palace, and when they saw Xu Mingwen like this, they all came over and became concerned.

"Master, are you alright?"

"What did the envoy of Dragon Tiger Mountain do to you?"

"Master, don't cry, why don't I chase out now and beat that envoy and give you a vent!"

Although these Taoist priests have earned black money, they still love Xu Mingwen, the master, very much.

Xu Mingwen felt a little more comforted in his heart.

For the sake of these unsuccessful apprentices, the rain platform must also be visited.
