Chapter 310 Monsters and Gods
"Why do you only go to the Yamen and the Imperial Palace to pay homage to the yamen and the palace, and not to the Star Viewing Palace?"
Luo Gong behind Lin Jue said coldly.
"Those people are all from Jinping County. In a remote place, they only know the Yamen and the Royal Palace. How did they know that there is a Star Observation Palace in the capital?" Wu Lingshi said, "But there were many people watching at the scene, and many people sympathized with their plight.
, someone reminded me that someone has already gone to Guanxing Palace and Zhenjian Palace at this moment."
"Zhenjian Palace.—"
Lin Jue repeated something in a low voice.
Also, how can this kind of thing only have the Star Observation Palace?
Now that Zhenjian Palace is gaining momentum, how come no one seeks Zhenjian Palace? Moreover, the Taoist priests of Zhenjian Palace are more interested in slaying demons and attracting popularity than the Star Gazing Palace. I am afraid they are destined to eliminate demons.
of.
"What about you?" Luo Gong asked again coldly, "Have you gone to invite the Star Observation Palace?"
"Of course I went. But it is not the official's responsibility to contact the Star Observation Palace, so I have to invite other colleagues."
Wu Lingshi wiped his sweat repeatedly.
For some reason, facing Master Lin, a Taoist protector who wore a bamboo hat almost every day, he felt a lot of pressure. He didn't even have time to think in his mind, so he had to answer truthfully:
"However, although nominally, all religious temples in the world are under the jurisdiction of our Department of Rites and Temples, it has not been many years since the dynasty was founded.
The status of the Star Observation Palace has surpassed that of our ancestral temple. Now not only is our ancestral temple unable to control the Star Observation Palace, but sometimes the Star Observation Palace will even point fingers at us. Even Zhou Langzhong has to ask for help when he meets the director of the Star Observation Palace.
We salute and say hello. Therefore, I am not sure whether we can invite the Star Observation Palace to come out, and whether the Star Observation Palace can invite the gods."
Lin Jue and Luo Gong both nodded after hearing this.
This is good news.
If someone wants to ask for it, just go to the Star Gazing Palace.
If the Star Observation Palace agrees and can invite the gods to help, there will naturally be no need to wait for others.
Eliminating demons for the people is a good thing anyway.
If the Star Gazing Palace does not agree, or cannot invite the gods, and the matter becomes so big, and the people of Jinping County come to ask for help, this will definitely be a huge blow to their reputation and prestige, and it will also be a huge blow to Lin Jue.
A good thing.
Therefore, even if no one comes to invite them, even if Lin Jue decides to go ahead and slay the demon, when he sees the people, he will still ask them to ask for more help from the Star Gazing Palace.
Secondly, it will also cause some trouble for the Star Observation Palace.
Why not?
"What about Juxian Mansion? In the entire Juxian Mansion, did you come to see my Taoist Priest?" Luo Gong continued to ask.
Although he knew that Luo Gong was trying to maintain his character, Lin Jue still felt a little uncomfortable when he heard the words "my Taoist priest".
Just listen to Wu Lingshi reply:
"Of course not. We have invited all the famous masters, real people, and heavenly masters who are good at exterminating demons in the Juxian Mansion and are still in the capital. It's just that different people are responsible for it, because Xianguan often comes here to pay homage recently.
The real person has the true appearance, so the lower official and the two subordinates under the lower official came to pay homage to the three real heavenly masters."
While he was talking, there were footsteps outside.
Fan Tianshi and Pan Gong walked in angrily.
Sure enough, as Wu Lingshi said, each of them was followed by a subordinate official, the same two people who often came to carry money to Lin Jue.
Mr. Luo couldn't help but glance at Wu Lingshiyi. This man is really smart!
Obviously, Fan Tianshi and Pan Gong came to the capital earlier than he and others, and they had come to Juxian Mansion so many years earlier. Their reputation in the capital was better than that of Lin Jue, but when they came to this house, he sent two of his subordinates to invite them.
Fan Tianshi and Pan Gong came here to invite Lin Jue.
At the same time, Wu Lingshi also opened his eyes wide and said to himself, "Sure enough."
For such an urgent matter, Doctor Zhou was pressing hard. How many officials were there in the Ministry of Rites and Temple Department in Beijing? With so many experts, how could they be hired in such a short time?
The fact that the three of me came here to invite them is already a sign of the importance of Master Lin, Fan Tianshi and Pan Gong. It is absolutely impossible for the three of me to invite them side by side, as that would be too time-consuming.
But who should I invite, and who should the subordinate officials invite?
Is it the most famous Fan Tianshi, the former god Pan Gong, or this Zhenren Lin who only came to the capital last year?
After struggling for a long time, Wu Lingshi followed his subconscious and came to see Lin Jue, and asked his two subordinates to invite Fan Tianshi and Pan Gong.
This is both his judgment and his verification.
Sure enough, when Fan Tianshi and Pan Gong received the news, they came to Lin Zhenren's yard as soon as possible, whether they were here to discuss or seek support,
The priorities have been decided.
Although he guessed correctly, it also surprised him.
While thinking about it, Fan Tianshi, Pan Gong and two subordinate officials had already walked into the courtyard.
Wu Lingshi quickly lowered his eyes and looked at the ground so as not to be seen by these two heavenly masters.
"Have you two Taoists heard about it too?" Lin Jue's voice sounded first.
"I heard about it."
"I just heard about it."
"What do you two know about this?" Lin Jue asked.
"Fan Tianshi came from the north, and the Leopard King in the northwest was much more arrogant than the previous Dragon King. I heard that there used to be a great demon in the north, and it was the Leopard King's demon general who was killed by Fan Tianshi. Fan Tianshi should deal with it
I understand this very well." Pan Gong said.
"As far as Pindao knows, this matter may not be that simple." Fan Tianshi said, "I'm afraid Pindao doesn't know as much as Pan Gong knows."
.....
As they spoke, the two looked at each other, then looked at Lin Jue,
"At this time, the people from Jinping County are still kneeling at the gates of the government offices and palaces. If no one comes to ease their hearts, they may not leave." Pan Gong asked, "Should we go there first and take a look?"
When Master Fan heard this, he immediately hesitated.
Because he knows what he is capable of, it is really unbearable to look at it if he cannot do it, and to give people hope.
Lin Jue's eyes showed thoughts.
He had already heard of the Leopard King in the northwest. If he stayed in the capital for a long time and settled in the Juxian Mansion, and wanted to search for golden elixir materials from the court, he would inevitably have a fight with this Leopard King.
But having said that, the troubled times have come, and even without these, as a cultivator, I am afraid that I will inevitably encounter this demon king.
If there are really monsters that harm people and are extremely rampant, how can a Taoist man just sit back and watch?
For example, several other masters in Juxian Mansion, including Nan Tianshi, who Lin Jue suspected was similar to Fan Tianshi, had already gone to the northwest to confront the Leopard King. After all, Lin Jue was from a well-known and upright family, how could he even do this?
Not even as good as him? Not to mention the other benefits he can gain from fighting these monsters.
It's just that I'm not ready yet.
As for the so-called fact that Fan Tianshi killed General Leopard King, even if it is not completely fictitious, it is definitely some kind of misunderstanding or a deliberate lie, which is not worthy of belief.
"Wu Lingshi, don't worry, monsters are harming people. We are not the Star Observation Palace, so we will not stand idly by." Lin Jue broke away from his thoughts and mocked the Star Observation Palace, and then said, "But there is an old saying, know yourself and know the enemy.
Only then can we fight without danger. Now we don’t know the details of the monster or its methods, so we can’t agree immediately. But it’s still okay to go to the Yamen and have a look.”
"What the real person said makes sense! It makes sense! That's good!" Wu Lingshi kept saying, and then asked, "When will the real person set off?"
"Please lead the way!"
"good!"
Wu Lingshi immediately turned around, took two small officials, and led the way forward.
After walking for a while, I found that there was no movement behind me. I stopped and looked back, and saw that those few people did not follow me, but stood there and looked at me.
Wu Lingshi was stunned for a moment, and instantly understood that they had something to discuss, and there might be some content that was not suitable for him to hear.
So he walked forward without stopping.
After walking for a while, three people and one fox followed.
The one who fell behind was Fan Tianshi. He was actually not that confident. It could be seen that Lin Jue, Pan Gong and Luo Gong were all moving forward. He gritted his teeth and said,
Still followed.
It was already dusk, and in the streets of the capital, three officials were walking in front, followed by four people, keeping a distance from them. Beside the four people, there was an extremely beautiful Baihu.
The four of them were walking and talking quietly to each other.
"Do you know anything, fellow Daoist Fan?"
"I do know something." Fan Tianshi said, "I heard from the subordinate official that the people in Jinping County heard about Lang Hao, and some saw the monster transforming into a bird and flying away, and some saw the stone and bronze statue resurrected. That poor Taoist knew
11. There were originally four generals under the Demon Leopard King of the Northwest, who guarded four places respectively. Later, one of them died, and now there are three left, and one of them has such a skill."
"So it was really the Leopard King?"
"So he's just a general under the Leopard King's demon?"
Lin Jue and Pan Gong asked one after another.
"It should be so." Fan Tianshi said, "Now that several experts from the Juxian Mansion have gone to the northwest to deal with the Leopard King, and in addition, Emperor Yujian of the South has built a temple in the capital, I heard that in recent years, those from the northwest have
The masters of Juxian Mansion have always had the help of the leader of the Three Saints in the South, Lord Yili. It can be seen that the Leopard King is unlikely to be able to get away. And he did this probably because of those masters.
With the help of Yili Shenjun, people have caused him a lot of trouble."
"Fellow Daoist Fan has great insights."
"I don't dare. It's just that Pindao is from the north after all, and he knows a little more about things in the northwest."
"What about Jinping County?"
"I also know Jinping County. If we count the northwest of Qinzhou, it is in the far west of the northwest. A few years ago, it was not very peaceful, and there were also monsters.
The county magistrate at that time was also killed by monsters." Fan Tianshi said, and after a pause, he said, "But at that time, the Taoist friends from Qiyun Mountain in the south had already built Zhenjian Palace outside the capital, in the newly appointed Jinping County.
The county magistrate was from Huizhou. Before he took office, he went to Zhenjian Palace to worship Lord Yili. Therefore, on the day he took office, he heard that thunder and fire descended from the sky and burned the monsters in Jinping County. From then on, Jinping County was prosperous for several years.
Peace.”
When Lin Jue heard this, he was suddenly startled: "You mean, Jinping County today is the popular place of Lord Yili in Qinzhou?"
"That's right. Since then, most people in Jinping County have worshiped Emperor Yujian and Lord Yili."
Fan Tianshi didn't say much.
Lin Jue also nodded and thought.
In this case, this matter may not be simple, and the Taoist priests of Zhenjian Palace will definitely go there.
When Pan Gong, who was a god next to him, heard these words, his eyes widened unknowingly.
He finally understood why Master Fan Tian just said, "I'm afraid this matter is not that simple. I'm afraid I don't know as much as Pan Gong knows."
Could this matter have something to do with the gods?
As expected of Master Fan, he was worthy of being the master who once asked the gods to kill the Leopard King and the most powerful general under the Demon, and also dared to go to the Weishui River to eradicate the Dragon King. Obviously he also knew the secrets involved.
It’s a shame that I doubted him before.
This is what Pan Gong was thinking in his heart.
At this moment, Lin Jue's eyes had turned towards him: "Pan Gong, do you think the Star Gazing Palace will agree to invite the gods? Maybe the gods will be invited to help?"
"I can't count the rewards for my benefactor."
Pan Gong was silent for a moment, and then said: "But what I know is that the Tianweng pantheon today is more chaotic than imagined."
"What kind of chaos?"
Lin Jue was very interested in this.
His intuition told him that such things were not only important to himself now, but also to himself in the future.
"Can you tell me something?"
"Now that I am no longer a god, and in front of my benefactor, I naturally have nothing to hide. Since my benefactor wants to hear it, I will tell you my superficial opinions."
Fan Tianshi next to him also pricked up his ears.
How can ordinary people know such things? And how can ordinary people dare to say it casually?
And this man was once a real god.
"What I know is by no means all the reasons, but it is also part of the reasons, probably three of them.
"First of all, gods were once humans, and they were less detached and spiritual than immortals, so they were more human. Things like civil servants in prosperous times and military officers in chaotic times also existed in the Nine Heavens.
There is another difference between gods and immortals.
"The abilities of immortals are obtained through their own practice, while the magical bodies of gods are mostly shaped by the power of incense. If the magical powers of immortals are gone, they can be restored by meditating, but the magical powers of most gods must be obtained from incense.
"Zhenzhen and Fan Tianshi must know that in today's north and south, the gods worshiped by the people are mostly true kings. This is the reason."
What's the reason?
Concentrate the incense to the military attache?
Do the emperors of the north and south want to be celestial beings?
Several thoughts quickly flashed through Fan Tianshi's mind.
When he heard Pan Gong's words at this time, his expression was just as shocked as when Pan Gong heard his words just now.
This kind of thing really cannot be heard anywhere else.
I'm afraid that if passers-by hear it, their jaws will drop.
However, Mr. Pan’s voice continued to sound:
"But in this prosperous and dreamlike capital city, how many palaces, temples and temples have you seen dedicated to the four guardians of the Way? The most popular ones are usually the gods of literature, wealth, longevity, happiness and some famous immortals, right?
"Isn't this just like the human world? In times of peace, civilian officials are in power and they have enough to eat. But when peace is about to end and war breaks out, it's time to use military attachés. But at this time, how many people in the court can still do it?
Where are the generals who are good at fighting? Even if there are, how many are willing to serve you wholeheartedly?"
Fan Tianshi's expression was calm, but his heart was in turmoil.
Lin Jue couldn't help but nod his head as he listened.
This is pretty much what he thought.
