At noon, in the Shuoyang Taoist Temple on the east side of Shuoyang City, Yueguo, in one of the guest rooms of the Cangsheng Palace, a white-haired old Taoist dressed in a Ming Huang Taoist robe was receiving the pilgrims who came to receive the "Jianyue Lingpei".

"What is this little lady called?" said the white-haired old man kindly, stroking his long beard and looking young woman in front of him.

"Dao Chief, the little girl of the folk woman is named Su Qi, this is her folk card. A middle-aged woman who came with the young woman hurriedly handed over a small rectangular iron plate, which was the people's card issued by the government.

"Suqi Pingyang Mansion Shuoyang City Pingmin was born in the first forty-three years"

The white-haired old man took the official government card and looked at it, the front of the iron plate was engraved with the words above, and the reverse side was engraved with the official seal of Shuoyang City. After confirming that it was correct, Meng Shengming returned the iron plate to the woman.

The white-haired old man took out a white square wooden plaque from the delicate wooden box on one side, and there were still many similar wooden plaques in the delicate wooden box. The front and back of the wooden plaque are carved with a lifelike fairy, which is the fairy Jianyue.

The white-haired old man picked up the green bamboo pen on the table, dipped it in the blood-colored cinnabar on the side, poured spiritual power, and wrote Su Qi's two small characters above the fairy pattern on the reverse side of the wooden card.

Then he put away his smile and said solemnly: "Master Su Shi, Fairy Jianyue, is a true immortal in the fairy world, Zhong Lingyuxiu, compassion-based, guarding all sentient beings, and his merits are immeasurable. Would the donor be willing to sincerely worship the fairy Jianyue and pray for the fairy's protection?"

"The little girl Suki, I wish to worship the Jane Moon Fairy for life, and may the fairy bless the little girl with a safe life. Su Qi put her hands together and replied word for word according to her mother's repeated instructions in advance.

"Lord Su, as long as you sincerely worship Fairy Jianyue, the fairy will protect you for a lifetime. Please stretch out your left hand, and Poor Dao will take a few drops of your essence blood and inject it into Mu Pei. After the white-haired old man finished speaking, he used his magic power to take out a long fiery red needle from the brazier on one side and put it into a large bowl filled with cold water on the table to cool it.

The young woman couldn't help but feel a little frightened when she saw Fang Cai's long, red-hot needle, and at the urging of her mother on the side, she gritted her teeth, closed her eyes, and stretched out her clenched left hand, her body trembling slightly, obviously still very afraid.

The white-haired old man took out a long needle from the water, grabbed the young woman's hand, pricked a needle on the index finger and middle finger, squeezed out a few drops of crimson blood, and dripped it on the square wooden plaque, until the white wooden plaque was all dyed red, then let go of the young woman's hand, and said solemnly: "Okay, Jian Yuelingpei has been completed, and the donor needs to carry it close to him every day and keep it properly." ”

"Don't worry, Dao Chief, little girl, she will definitely carry it with her every day. The woman next to her took the wooden card, put it into the bag she had prepared in the morning, put it in the pocket of the young man's clothes, and said with a smile.

"The little woman knows! Thank you, Chief!" said the young woman, wrapping her left hand in a handkerchief, her eyes a little red, and after thanking the white-haired old man, she got up and went out of the house with her mother.

"Little Xuanzi, I'm here for the time being, let the pilgrims waiting in the back go back first, and come back tomorrow!" After seeing off the mother and daughter, the white-haired old Taoist said to the little Taoist priest at the door.

"Okay, Lord! By the way, Governor He is here, waiting in the backyard!" the little Taoist priest at the door hurriedly answered.

"Got it, let's go!" the white-haired old man nodded.

After the little Taoist priest saluted, he ran to the front hall and let the few waiting pilgrims disperse and come back tomorrow. Today, for some reason, the Lord did not accept pilgrims at noon, which is really rare.

Soon the little Taoist priest smiled and said, "What's the matter!" I thought: I can be lazy again today!

After about a quarter of an hour, the little Taoist priest was not happy, and the other Taoist priests in the temple were called to the backyard dojo, and waited in line under the scorching sun. Not only the Taoist priests in the temple, but also the officials of Shuoyang City such as He Zhifu and many arresters and officials.

The backyard dojo is paved with large stones, extremely wide, and at the end stands the tall Jianyue fairy statue, this fairy statue is made of white jade, lifelike, ten zhang high, like a hill, the fairy statue has a ruyi handprint with both hands, looking down on the entire Shuoyang City.

Xing Qu, the master of Shuoyang Taoist Temple, stood at the front of the queue, full of white hair, he was in his old age, he was a disciple of Huang Shengzong, practicing qi at the eighth level, and after building a hopeless foundation, he first served as a "registered spiritual official" in Pingyang Taoist Temple in Pingyang Mansion City for ten years, and then was transferred to Shuoyang Taoist Temple as the master of the temple.

Shuoyang City is a small city, the total population in the city is only more than 800,000, Shuoyang Taoist Temple is also a small view, don't look at the same view of the Jianyue Immortal Statue standing in the temple, but the immortal statue of Pingyang Taoist Temple in the same Fucheng City, can not be generalized.

Although the style of the two immortal statues is exactly the same, but the scale is a little smaller, but the "Jianyue Immortal Statue" in the Shuoyang Taoist Temple cannot condense the "Qingke Dan".

It is precisely because of this that Xingqu District can become the master of this Shuoyang Taoist Temple, in addition to himself, there are two hired casual cultivators, one is a fifth-level Qi practitioner, and the other is a sixth-level Qi, and they are not young at all, and they are all locals of Shuoyang City.

The rest are ordinary Taoists who have no trace of mana, and there are more than 150 people, who also help take care of the chores of Shuoyang Taoist Temple on weekdays, such as the people in the city who come to the temple to pray for blessings and incense, give alms and so on.

There are about nearly 1,000 small temples like Shuoyang Taoist Temple in the Yue Kingdom, and the scale of some Taoist temples is not as large as Shuoyang Taoist Temple, and even most of the masters are scattered cultivators hired by Huang Shengzong's flower spirit stone.

When Xing Qu was first transferred to Shuoyang Taoist Temple, he always had a question in his heart, why did the sect spend a lot of spirit stones to build so many Taoist temples that could not condense the "Qingke Dan", and also hired a large number of casual cultivators to take care of the Taoist temple.

Until ten years ago, the Taoist temple actually came to a "Jianyue Immortal Sect" inspector, accompanied by a high-level deacon of the sect, carefully inspected the Shuoyang Taoist Temple, and also secretly visited the reputation of the people in the city Shuoyang Temple.

Xing Qu took the time to ask the deacon of the sect and learned that the sect spent money and effort to maintain so many useless Taoist temples, which was not the original intention of the sect, but the death order issued by the "Jianyue Immortal Sect".

As Xing Qu originally guessed, the establishment of these Taoist temples was precisely to give the people of the world, and each person issued a "Jianyue Lingpei". Not only the Yellow Holy Sect needs to be like this, but all sects in the world are the same.

"Jianyue Immortal Sect" has an order that within the territory under the jurisdiction of the Tianxia Sect, all towns with more than 10,000 people need to establish a Jianyue Taoist Temple, and issue "Jianyue Lingpei" to the people through the Taoist Temple. If there is a war between the sects, it is not allowed to destroy the Jianyue Taoist Temple, and those who violate it will be punished heavily.

Xing Qu asked why the "Jianyue Immortal Sect" issued this order, and what benefits would it have for the "Jianyue Immortal Sect"? But the sect deacon did not answer, or the sect deacon himself knew the deep meaning of the "Jianyue Immortal Sect" issuing this order.

"Look! When a cadre of people was sweating like rain under the scorching sun, the sharp eyes of the catcher suddenly pointed to the sky and exclaimed.

I saw that between the mountains and the white clouds on the horizon, there were several streamers, the speed was extremely fast, and in the blink of an eye, it was above Shuoyang City, and it was actually four immortals flying with the sword, and the officials and officials of Shuoyang City below looked up one after another, looking excited, and gossiping.

"Quiet! What a system!" He Zhifu looked displeased when he saw the old man Xing on the side, and immediately shouted to stop the people behind him.

"Shuoyang Taoist Master Xing Qu, I have seen four Taoist friends!" After the four sword lights fell, Xing Qu stepped forward and said with a smile.

"Poor Dao" Xuanhan", on the order of the sect, came to Shuoyang City to preside over the "Soul Measurement Conference", this is the fourth junior brother Li Feng, this is the sixth junior brother Liu Yu, and this is the seventh senior sister Tang Zhi. Zhang Yuanzhen's eldest disciple "Xuan Han" nodded slightly in response.

"It turned out to be the predecessor of "Xuanhan", and the disciple Xing Qu was disrespectful!" the old man Xing Qu immediately bowed and said, although the other party is young, but only after the foundation is built in the cultivation realm, can there be a way, Xing Qu does not dare to rely on the old and sell the old.

"Xing Daoyou doesn't need to be like this!" Xuan Han replied with a chuckle.

"These two Taoist friends are enshrined in the temple! Huang Daoyou and Li Daoyou!" Xing Qu turned sideways and began to introduce the greeting personnel behind him.

"Poor Dao Huang Ci and Poor Dao Li Fengyu have seen four masters!" the two old cultivators hired by Huang Shengzong hurriedly stepped forward and said respectfully.

"Li Feng, Liu Yu, and Tang Zhi have seen two Taoist friends. The three of them hurriedly returned the salute.

""Xuanhan" senior, this is the prefect of Shuoyang City. Xing Qu pointed to a court official behind him wearing a black gauze hat and a blue-striped strapping robe.

"Xiaguan He Niu, take the hundred officials of Shuoyang City and meet the four immortal masters!" He Niu, the prefect of Shuoyang City, bowed and said, behind him, the hundreds of officials and the public catchers knelt down one after another, and shouted in unison: "Villain, meet the four immortal masters!"

"Everyone, please get up quickly!" Xuanhan Daoist stepped forward to help He Niu up, and then said to the kneeling officials, catchers, officials and others.

"This "Soul Measurement Conference", the Governor of He can be notified. Xuanhan Daoist asked about business.

"Immortal Master, please rest assured, the six counties and seventy-eight townships under the jurisdiction of Shuoyang City have all posted announcements, and in half a month, the "Soul Measurement Conference" will be held in the Shuoyang Taoist Temple in the capital city for a period of one month!

"Then the prefect will take everyone back first! Next, do a good job in the preparations for the "Soul Detection Conference". Xuanhan Daoist looked at the people who were pressed by the black pressure, sweating, and frowned.

"Immortal Master, this official has set up a banquet in the "Drunken Dream Building" in the city to receive the wind and wash the dust for all the immortal masters. He Zhifu said with a smile.

"Thank you, I was a little tired of traveling for many days, so I won't go!" said Xuanhan Daoren.

"Governor He, let's go back first! The old Taoist will greet the four masters. Seeing that He Zhifu still wanted to invite, Xing Laoguan was afraid of annoying Xuanhan Daoist, so he hurriedly said to He Zhifu.

"Then the official will retire first!" He Zhifu didn't dare to say more, bowed to Liu Yu and the four of them, and hurriedly left with a group of people.

""Xuan Han" senior, please come with Xing!" "Xing Laoguan led Liu Yu and the four of them to the quiet room that had been arranged to rest.
