Chapter 129 The road in this world is as dangerous as one’s desires (please vote)

Lin Jueru thought about it, and he had doubts in his heart.

The monks in Songyin Temple are actually fake monks, but outside thieves. However, the temple blessings of Qingdi Temple are serious temple blessings backed by gods. Could they do such things to seek wealth and harm people?

So I watched Miao Zhu go to get incense, looked at him, thought about it, and followed him:

"It turns out that because of such a happy occasion, we were exempted from the accommodation fee! I heard that there were evil spirits causing turmoil in this place a few days ago. Many villagers came to the temple to seek shelter. Did the temple accept their money?"

"Of course I didn't accept it!" Miao Zhu smiled and handed over the incense, "I actually don't love money that much, and I understand the principle of priorities. In addition, the Qing Emperor came to me in a dream that night and specifically told me to take all these people.

If you put it in to avoid evil spirits, how could I disobey my emperor?"

"I see."

Lin Jue nodded, turned to look at his junior sister, and saw doubts in her eyes, so he added:

"But we have heard that if you want to ascend to heaven and become a god, you must either practice hard spiritual methods and seek the attainments of heaven and earth, or you can cultivate your mind and cultivate virtue and follow the path of incense. I don't know which path you are taking?"

"This can't be said!"

"We can guess it even without telling you."

"Huh?"

Miao Zhu looked at them unexpectedly.

"Besides, there is another way. It is the Alchemy Way in ancient times." Lin Jue looked at him with a smile, "But this way?"

"Hey! How did you know?"

"Ha ha……"

When Lin Jue heard this, he almost understood.

This temple blessing is probably the same as the monks of Songyin Temple, and has something to do with the demon king's plan to obtain silver.

But there are differences between them.

The monks at Songyin Temple are thieves and are good at doing illegal things, so they make money by pretending to be gods and killing people. But this temple priest is seriously related to the gods. He can neither do such things, but he does not need to rely on them.

With those means, you can earn a lot of money by doing the right thing. Because the Bodhisattva in Songyin Temple is fake, but the Qing Emperor in this temple is real.

Just like those rat demons in Yi County who rely on stealing.

The Demon King only wants silver, which is passed down layer by layer. At the last level, his methods are like letting a hundred flowers bloom.

"Not only do we know that this step is following the path of elixir, but we can also guess that he didn't refine the elixir by himself, right? I'm afraid all of his money was used to exchange for the elixir."

"You, how do you know?"

When Miao Zhu heard this, he looked shocked.

Lin Jue just thought it was ridiculous.

Long before he went to Yishan to practice Taoism, when he was in Danxun County, he had heard of this temple priest who was greedy for money. He thought it was an ordinary human desire for material things, but it turned out that he wanted to live forever and become an immortal.

"well……"

"You Taoist priest! Why are you sighing?"

"Miao Zhu was deceived by monsters!" Lin Jue shook his head and said to him, "I don't know how those monsters deceived Miao Zhu, but I also know some alchemy and can make elixirs, not to mention swallowing the elixir.

It needs to be combined with the special method of taking alchemy. How can it be so easy in this world to make elixirs and become immortals? And the temple blessing has turned black, which is a sign of gold and stone poisoning and his life is not long."

"you……"

Miao Zhu's eyes widened, and he was obviously a little angry. He pointed at him and wanted to say something, but he got stuck again. He held it back for a while before saying angrily:

"What nonsense!"

"Miao Zhu doesn't know. Refining elixirs to become immortals has been a matter of ancient times. Nowadays, let alone ordinary people, there are those alchemy monks who really practice elixirs in the mountains. How many of them can truly become immortals?"

"What do you know! You're talking nonsense!" Miao Zhu didn't know how to refute. Anyway, he didn't listen or believe it. He was angry and afraid of the sword in his hand. "I'm kind enough to take you in. Don't talk nonsense. If you talk again, I'll have to kick you out."

Right! Just in time, it won’t take long to get to the city from here!”

"How can I be sure that I can become an immortal?"

"I had a dream from the gods a few days ago, and tonight a fairy will come to pick me up and ascend me to heaven!"

"A few days ago? Tonight?" Lin Jue smiled, "You won't ask the temple to prepare money and treasures, right?"

"You? How do you know?"

"Two or three hundred miles to the north, there is a temple called Songyin Temple. The monks in the temple were deceived by monsters just like you, and they were willing to collect money for the monsters. But these monsters are also strange. They only want silver. They can exchange for some silver.

The 'elixir' is actually just an ordinary elixir. Ordinary people do not practice how to take it. Not only does it have no effect, but it will also cause gold and stone poisoning, which is life-threatening. If it is poisoned, the face will turn black, and there will be a faint metallic luster in the black.

"

Lin Jue said to him: "Am I right in my words?"

"You...what you said is false...I have seen those gods! Those are real gods! I took the elixir and felt like a fairy!"

"It's a real monster." Lin Jue shook his head and said, "The demon king secretly occupied an area close to a state, secretly amassed silver, and turned it into spiritual elixirs to increase his power. The movements nearby in the past few days were the gods' lower realms to eliminate demons. The demon king

The king’s power should have been wiped out by the divine king.”

"you……"

"The demon king must have been defeated and his demons are planning to escape. They are also greedy for money and don't know what they want to do with the money. This is why they are planning to come to you for the last time."

Miao Zhu opened his eyes wide and pointed at him.

His fingers were already trembling.

This kind of thing is so ridiculous, how could he believe it?

How could he believe it?

"Miao Zhu's erysipelas has reached the end of his life." Lin Jue said calmly, "Since there will be a fairy to pick up the temple tonight, let's wait here to see if the fairy is really picked up."

After saying this, he bowed his hands and entered the Qing Emperor's Palace.

I don’t know if Emperor Qing knew that his temple was bewitched by monsters. If he knew, why didn’t he stop him? But he was willing to entrust the temple with dreams so that the temple could accept the people who came to seek refuge. He was also willing to actually send down the gods to protect him when the evil came.

The common people, Lin Jue, are also willing to take advantage of this stick of incense.

After finishing the incense, he saw that the temple minister was still standing there with a look of shock on his face. Lin Jue just reminded him, "Be careful tonight" and walked to the side hall next to him.

He walked to the wall, put down his sword, and sat down with his back against the wall.

The junior sister stood in front and looked at him, then walked over, put down her sword, and slowly slid down against the wall.

Lin Jue felt tired and straightened his legs.

When she saw it, she also straightened her legs.

The fox fell down and rolled next to it.

"Senior brother, can this Qing Emperor really show his spiritual powers?" The younger junior sister couldn't help but wonder.

"It should really be able to manifest spirits. There have always been rumors about the Qing Emperor's miraculous effects here, and I once saw the Qing Emperor Talisman that someone asked for from here. It should be a real divine handiwork."

"Then this temple blessing..."

"People's hearts are complicated. They may have been bewitched." Lin Jue paused for a moment, "It is said that this temple priest was very poor when he was young. One day he lived in the wilderness and was soaked by the rain, but suddenly he saw something in the mud that had been buried underground for who knows how many years.

The statue of Qingdi, because I feel that the fate of the statue is similar to my own,

So he dug it out, washed it, and offered it as an offering. It happened that the Qing Emperor had not had incense for many years, so out of sympathy for each other, the Qing Emperor passed on to him a sacred urn and some methods of drawing talismans, and let him use it as his temple blessing. Later.

I heard that he developed a greedy temperament, but I didn't expect this to be the reason."

Junior sister listened and nodded.

Then, while chatting with him in a low voice about the temple blessings and the Qing Emperor, Quan thought he was listening to the story, and stretched out his hand to beat his own leg, causing the flesh of his thigh under his pants to tremble.

Lin Jue petted the fox's head and played with it.

Staying overnight in this temple, there was probably no food to eat, but the two of them also brought some dry food, ate it with water, and fed it to the foxes.

Slowly it became dark.

There were everlasting lanterns lit in the main hall, but not in the side halls. However, Lin Jue learned the lamp-lighting technique from Seventh Senior Brother, and since there were oil lamps in the temple, he also lit a lamp.

After all, there are differences between men and women. There is a distance of more than a foot between the two brothers. When the little fox saw it, he felt that this was a place reserved for him, so he got in and nestled. It was just right.

It was cold at night, so Lin Jue covered the red cloth on the table next to him, thinking that the gods would not blame him for this. This kind of confined space made the fox like it even more. He huddled in it and enjoyed it very much, and it was just right.

You can practice your newly learned ability to exhale cold air.

As the night progressed, the two of them fell into a light sleep.

Wake up and sleep, I don’t know when it will be.

"Senior brother, why are you feeling cold?"

"I think so too."

"Is it Yin Qi?"

"It's not like that."

"What's going on?"

"Leave the window open."

While Lin Juezheng was speaking in a low voice, he suddenly felt a gust of wind blowing from the window. The lights suddenly swayed, and the shadows of the statues and curtains swayed, flickering on and off.

Suddenly a huge figure flashed outside the window.

"嘤?"

The fox's head immediately popped out.

Both of them were staring out the window and reaching out to hold the sword.

"Chi~~"

The long sword was slowly unsheathed.

The lights quickly took hold and became bright again, and all the shadows in the temple settled down.

However, there were no traces of the two Taoists beside the wall.

The windows were open, and it was dark outside. If you look closely, you can see the sky full of stars and a galaxy, which are extremely bright.

Suddenly, a pair of eyes appeared outside the window.

This pair of eyes is like a copper bell, and the bright yellow color is like the eyes of a liger. They look around the room in the light of the candle.

But I saw that although the side hall was lit with lights, there was only one white fox sitting calmly on the right side of the room. It was lowering its head and raising its paws. After licking its paws, it rubbed its face with its paws. It seemed that it was not noticed at all.

The bell-like eyes moved to the left again, scanning the statue of the central altar, all the way to the far left corner.

Still no one found.

The owner of the eyes was hunched over and just breathed a sigh of relief when he suddenly turned his head and stared at the burning lamp bowl without lamp oil, sniffing and sniffing crazily.

When he came back to his senses, he saw the fox staring at him but making no sound.

Just in this moment——

"brush!"

Two long swords actually poked out from under the window at the same time. They were leaning upward, and the sword tips were in front of them in the blink of an eye.

At this point it's too late to dodge.

"Ouch!!"

A loud cry of pain.

The figure outside the window immediately stood up straight, almost as high as the courtyard wall, and took a few steps back. The huge steel fork dragged in his right hand easily scratched the bluestone slab, while his left hand covered his face.

Of the two swords, one struck it just below the eye, and the other struck it right in the eye, causing it great pain.

With the help of his remaining eye, he took a closer look and saw two Taoist priests jumping out of the window, and a white fox jumped out lightly behind them. After landing, it was still licking its paws and staring at him quietly.

Two more beans were thrown out, and another bean was thrown onto the roof with a backhand.

"The beans fall and the wind rises, and the soldiers and horses appear!"

There were two heavy sounds, and the sound of tiles on the roof being stepped on. Immediately, two soldiers with swords and shields appeared on the ground, and an archer also wearing armor appeared on the roof.

Lin Jue and the others raised the fire to take a look.

This monster is nearly ten feet tall, as big as an ox, with a waist like a water tank. It is fat and has a green face and fangs. It holds a huge steel fork and looks like a yaksha ghost.
