The thief was lying on the ground and looked at Xu Qingsheng in a daze.

"Hey, are you face paralyzed?"

Xu Qingsheng glanced at him lightly and didn't speak.

"How can you not react at all when you hear such a powerful and terrifying thing? ”

Xu Qingsheng's reaction was beyond the expectations of the thief of the Book of Virtues, and he did not reveal a trace of the emotions he was expecting, which made him very frustrated, this person is too calm!

"Brother Xu, how is it? Question...... Is it big?" asked Liu Shichang a little nervously.

Xu Qingsheng nodded and said solemnly: "Something is wrong, and this matter is also related to my secret mission." Brother Liu, brothers, further out is the territory of Yueyang County, let's say goodbye. ”

Liu Shichang patted his head and said with a wry smile: "If you don't say that I almost forgot that you have another mission, we just give outsiders an excuse to cover up your true whereabouts, take you here, and the temporary task we received has also been completed." ”

Xu Qingsheng is a dark chess move arranged by Hua Shaofeng.

Just three days ago, on the night he rushed back to the camp, Hua Shaofeng avoided everyone's eyes and secretly found him.

"My lord, what's the matter with looking for me late at night?"

Hua Shaofeng did not directly explain the intention, but said something else.

"Xu Qingsheng, nineteen years old, a native of Xueyuan County, Liangzhou, used to be a Taoist priest, and his cultivation was vague and uncertain, and he seemed to be between the Qi and Blood Realm and the Yuan Qi Realm. I'm right, right?"

"What the adults say is not bad, but I don't know what the adults say about it?" Xu Qingsheng said neither humbly nor arrogantly.

"I have been in the army for 40 years, and I have traveled south and north to meet many talented people, many of whom are from the Taoist sect. ”

Hua Shaofeng put his hands behind his back and stared at Xu Qingsheng with burning eyes.

"I asked someone to check your background. I had an idea of who you were, but I was a little shocked when I got the reply. ”

"Xu Qingsheng, who entered the Tianshan Mountains at the age of five, worshiped under the elder Yuxu Taishang. At the age of seven, he built a foundation, at the age of eleven, and at the age of thirteen, he advanced to the Yuan Qi realm, becoming the youngest qi practitioner in the past thousand years. At the age of eighteen, he was abolished and expelled from the mountain gate because of his major mistakes. ”

Xu Qingsheng's expression was complicated, he shook his head, and sighed lightly.

"The past is always in the past, so why bother to bring up the old things? I am only a soldier now, not a Taoist priest. If you have any questions, please speak up, and I will do my best. ”

"I'm sorry, but I had to check your background, because some of the tasks are special, and I need to make sure you don't have that ability. ”

Xu Qingsheng said: "My lord, but if I have orders, I will do my best to dedicate my modest efforts." If you have any tasks, please let me know. ”

Hua Shaofeng explained: "There are all kinds of signs that there is a mysterious force lurking in the land of Muzhou, and it has been moving frequently recently. It is not yet known what its purpose is, but according to what it did, it can be seen that its intentions are ill-intentioned and its plans are very great. ”

Hua Shaofeng recounted the incident of the Pingshan Temple as a god, the case of the disappearance of the city god in Yueyang County, and the secret words of the Yueyang County Guard's invitation, from beginning to end.

"As far as I know, the inexplicable disappearance of the previous mountain gods of the Pingshan Temple and the Yueyang City God is the handiwork of this mysterious force. We martial artists know very little about these gods and ghosts, and you are a proud disciple of the Tianshan Dao Sect, which was originally one of the three great sects in the world, I want to know what you think about this matter?"

The amount of information is a bit large, Xu Qingsheng pondered for a moment and said: "The strength of the Divine Dao is based on the size of the divine profession and the scope of the Divine Domain, like the Pingshan Mountain God and the Yueyang City God, they should at least have a strength similar to the Yuan Qi Realm.

Moreover, within the Divine Domain, the power of the Shinto Cultivation will be greatly enhanced, and if you want to disappear silently, there are only two possibilities, one is to leave voluntarily, and the other is that the strength of the other party is far superior to the Divine Dao Cultivation, so that it cannot resist. After listening to what you said, I personally think it should be the latter. ”

"If it's the latter, how strong is this person?"

"It's hard to say, it doesn't have to be one person, it can also be a group of people. If it is really a person, then his strength must at least be in the realm of the Great Perfection of Yuan Qi, or even stronger...... Yuan Shen Realm!"

Hua Shaofeng took a deep breath, if it was an enemy of the Yuan Shen Realm, they would only be afraid that they would be unable to defeat them if they joined forces with Pingyang County and Yueyang County.

Xu Qingsheng thought for a while, then frowned and said, "My lord, I think there is something strange about the matter of Pingshan sealing the gods. The two realms of immortals and mortals have been blocked for thousands of years, how can Heavenly Court cross the realm space and become a god in the mortal world?"

"What do you mean?"

"It's not realistic for the Heavenly Court to pardon the mountain gods, and I think there may be someone else who canons the gods. ”

"Speak your mind. ”

"There are only three ways to become a god in the mortal world. The first is the canonization of the true dragon of heaven and earth in the mortal world; the second is the innate spirit that is naturally born in heaven and earth and turns into a god; and the third is the supreme and powerful person who forcibly seals the god by means of the treasure of luck.

The canonization of the mountain god by the Son of Heaven will be announced to the world, and it will not be carried out secretly. Pingshan is too close to the city, and there are no conditions to breed innate spiritual creatures at all.

However, although there are many masters in the six states of Great Xia, there are only a handful of them with absolute power, coupled with the conditions of luck and treasure, I think no one will have this ability except for the Three Great Dao Gates. ”

The more Hua Shaofeng listened, the more confused he became, and asked suspiciously: "You mean that there are three major gates involved in this matter?"

Xu Qingsheng shook his head and said, "It's impossible for the Three Great Daomen to do this kind of thing. Forcibly sealing the gods is a move against the sky, and the price to be paid is too great, so big that even the Three Great Daomen can't afford it. ”

Forcibly sealing the gods requires the consumption of a huge amount of luck to offset the sins that have fallen against the sky. Basically, once you become a god, you will destroy a treasure that suppresses the luck of the sect. At the same time, the power of the gods is likely to lead the Heavenly Tribulation to kill him, and even if he doesn't, it will be difficult to survive the Tribulation in the future.

Hua Shaofeng looked at him puzzled, this is impossible, that is impossible, could it be that the Pingshan goddess jumped out of the stone?

Xu Qingsheng's face was thoughtful, and his eyes suddenly lit up, as if he had thought of something.

"In addition, there is a race that once made a large number of gods in order to support Shinto. ”

Hua Shaofeng was taken aback: "You mean...... Yunzhou ...... Floating islands?"

Xu Qingsheng nodded: "In addition, I can't think of anyone who can be a god on behalf of the heavens and not pay a high price." ”

Yunzhou is not the land of the six states of Great Xia, but one of the ancient Kyushu. But now it is no longer on the earth, it is said that it was raised from the ground by several powerful powers, refined into a floating island, and flew away with the clansmen, and has not been heard from since.

Someone once had the privilege of seeing the floating island, and it is said that the island is ruled by many gods, and where did the gods come from?

"Yunzhou...... Floating Island!"

Hua Shaofeng's eyes flickered, thoughtfully, as if he thought of someone.

"Is this where you came from?" he said.

Hua Shaofeng came back to his senses and said to Xu Qingsheng: "I'll give you a task, secretly go to Yueyang County, and start investigating the clues of this mysterious force, it's best to find out the clues before I go to the banquet."

You do the dark line, I do the bright line, even if you can't find out in the end, you have to find ways to disrupt the other party's layout, so that they can't succeed.

In addition, the enemy's eyeliner is all around us, and from now on, we can no longer trust anyone, including your family and friends.

Early tomorrow morning, I will arrange a pair of government soldiers, and you will pretend to follow them to participate in the clean-up mission, and when you are sent to the junction of the two counties, you will set off by yourself and sneak into the county seat of Yueyang......"

Thinking back to the present, Xu Qingsheng pointed to the thief of virtue that fell to the ground, and said to Liu Shichang: "Brother Liu, this person is useful to me, I need to take him with me." ”

Liu Shichang's face was sad.

"He's both a wanted criminal and a blood demon who can't be clear, if you just let him go......"

"Brother Liu, my mission has the highest authorization from Pingyang Mansion, believe me, compared to this secret mission, these are just minor problems. ”

When Liu Shichang heard this, he no longer hesitated, and directly handed over the Stealing Virtue Sutra to Xu Qingsheng.

"Brother Xu, don't say anything, we all believe you!"

Xu Qingsheng hugged his fists and said, "Brothers, we will have a meeting later." ”

"There will be a date later!"

The plan couldn't catch up with the changes, and not long after Tianchen and his party set off, the weather was not beautiful, and it rained.

Tianchen dismissed, it was just a light rain, so why not get drenched?

I don't know if God knew his thoughts and deliberately made things difficult for him, and the light rain quickly turned into a heavy rain, and then turned into a downpour......

The rain in August is the ruthless you, accompanied by bits and pieces, hitting the hearts of the rain-drenched people.

Tianchen looked at God with a resentful expression, the first day of the mortal world gave orders, are you playing with me like this?

"Brother Chen, I can't go this day, it's raining too much, and I can't see the road clearly. Hua Xiaolou wiped the rain on his face and shouted at the top of his voice.

"Yes, yes, we can't see clearly, but the horse can't help but look at the road, my horse almost hit a tree with me. The rest chimed in.

Tianchen sighed secretly and thought for a while: "We came out in front of the gate of the city, and now we can't go back into the city, there is a mountain temple twenty miles outside the city, not far from us, go there first to avoid the rain." ”

There is no objection from everyone, as long as they can shelter from the rain now, it is fine.

The mountain temple is very close, and the horse can't be used to make tea, so he finds a place.

More than three months have passed, and the original dilapidated and deserted temple is now green tiles and vermilion eaves, carved railings and jade masonry, and has become a new look. There is a clay statue of a goddess in the temple, and the altar is full of incense and candles, and the incense is prosperous.

It seems that if it weren't for the fact that it was approaching evening and it was raining heavily outside, it was estimated that there would be a lot of pilgrims here.

The other people didn't have any special reaction when they entered the temple and saw this, after all, there were more temples, which one was not like this?

But Tianchen is different, this is a turning point in his fate in the mortal world, this is the place where he came to the mortal world to deal with mortals for the first time, here he met the deceased Zhang Lu, Zhuzi, and Lin Zi...... And beggars.

Tianchen looked at the statue of the god, the statue was dusty, overflowing, and there was a faint sense of clarity on it. It seems to sense the arrival of Tianchen, and the brilliance above the statue is even brighter.

Tianchen nodded secretly, it seemed that the beggar had woken up and gradually adapted to the identity of the mountain god.
