Chapter 1430 The Taoist Priest Descends the Mountain

Lanxi County was very lively yesterday, and it is even more lively today. People in the streets and alleys are talking about the county government being haunted last night.

This time, all the county officials and government servants experienced it personally, and more people knew about it. In a private room of a certain restaurant, a person was telling others at the same table about his personal experience last night.

"In the dead of night, I heard the sound of wheels. People didn't know why there were wheels. Later they found out that it was a manure truck, and it had a full can."

"The devil was so fierce. With a slight wave, the dung truck flew into the air. Master Ku Ming didn't know it was a trick, so he slapped it with his palm. Everyone present was poured with dung soup all over their heads and faces. It was so embarrassing, I was standing on the outermost edge and had some splashes on my body.”

"Such filthy things broke Master Kuming's golden body in one go. A chariot shaft flew up and knocked Master unconscious. When those Arhat disciples saw something bad, they ran away carrying Master Kuming and went out all night. I went back to Landuo Temple and I heard that I haven’t woken up yet.”

"Others were so frightened that they fled in all directions. Everyone who could run away. The county magistrate was frightened again and cried for help. He hugged the statue of the God of Earth and shouted for help. Finally, he simply moved into the Earth Temple and said that he would not come out until the evil spirit was eliminated. Stay in the Earth Temple."

"Now Master is taking people out to look for experts everywhere. I don't know who I can find this time."

Everyone else listened with great interest, and someone suddenly said: "The evil ghost is so fierce, but he is afraid of the statue of Tutu God. It seems that Tutu God is very powerful. After we finish eating, why not go to the Tutu Temple to worship? Let the Lord of the Land protect us."

"That's right, I'll go pay my respects later."

"Let's go together."

After several people finished eating, they came to the Earth Temple in the county town. The Earth Temple was very small, with only one room and no door or courtyard. It was on the roadside. The statue of Earth God faced directly outside, with a stone incense burner placed underneath. It's crude.

They found that there was obviously a lot more incense today, and obviously many people came to worship. It seemed that many people had the same idea as them.

Jiang Hao also came to the county today, mainly to inquire about the news. When he walked to the Earth Temple, he found many people coming to worship the land. He smiled and knew that these people must be because the county magistrate held the blessing of the Earth God and thought that the Earth God would protect the land. It only comes with efficacious results.

As everyone knows, that is just an excuse made by Zhu Guang.

When there were fewer people worshiping, Jiang Hao approached the Earth Temple and opened his eyes to carefully observe the statue again. After repeated observations, he was sure that there was indeed no true spirit of Earth God in the statue. All the incense and wish power were concentrated in the statue.

Still unwilling to give up, he came to the Chenghuang Temple in the county seat.

The most numerous gods in China are the land and mountain gods, and the second most numerous are the City God. City God is the god who protects the city. He is the lord of a city and consists of twenty-four divisions. Every prefecture and county must have a City God temple to take charge of the souls of the living and the dead. , rewarding good and punishing evil, life and death, misfortunes and blessings, killing demons and demons.

The City God is not only a Taoist god, but also one of the eight Confucian gods.

If the city god is there, evil spirits and monsters will not dare to enter and exit the city at will. If anyone violates the rules of heaven, there will be twenty-four undercover officers to arrest him.

But now, monsters and ghosts enter and exit the city at will, without any hidden trouble. Jiang Hao stood in front of the statue of the City God and saw no aura of divinity.

"Hey~~, has the world here been so collapsed?" Jiang Hao sighed softly.

Looking at the city god again, he thought, in this world, if Buddhas and immortals don’t save us, I’m afraid we have to rely on ourselves.

He turned around and strode out of the Chenghuang Temple.

In the evening, a middle-aged Taoist priest walked into the county town. The Taoist priest was wearing a Taoist robe and carrying two swords on his back. He had a slightly thin figure, three strands of green beard under his chin, thin lips and sharp eyes. At first glance, he seemed to be a mean and stoic person.

Behind the Taoist priest were two Taoist boys in green clothes. Each of the two Taoist boys held a sail in their hands, with the words "Xuanyuan Taoist Temple Ling Xiaozi" written on one side and "Kill the demons and eliminate demons to help the common people" on the other side.

Mobile billboard.

Behind this Taoist priest, there were several government servants leading horses. People immediately guessed that these were Taoist priests invited by the county magistrate from outside to capture the ghosts.

The matter of the fierce ghost chasing the county magistrate has become the biggest news in Lanxi County. Now that a mage is coming, people are all curious. Some poke their heads out from upstairs, and some come out of the store and stand on the street. The whole street seemed very lively at that time.

People pointed at the Taoist priest and talked about whether the Taoist priest could catch the devil. When the middle-aged Taoist priest saw this situation, he couldn't help feeling a little proud. He raised his head higher and walked forward energetically.

He did not look back, but used the method of sound transmission to say to the two disciples: "Disciples, there are many people at this time, it is a good time to publicize. Hold the sail high and shout the slogan of our Tao."

When the two Taoist boys heard the message, they raised the canvas higher and shouted slogans, "Xuanyuan Guan Lingxiaozi has great magical power, kills demons, eliminates harm for the people, and does justice for heaven!"

Jiang Hao was sitting on the second floor of a teahouse drinking tea. Hearing the bustle of people below, the new mage invited by the county magistrate arrived. He stood up and walked to the window to look down. The Taoist priest was walking on the street. Jiang Hao opened his eyes. Looking at it, the Taoist priest's situation can be seen at a glance.

After seeing it clearly, Jiang Hao smiled in his heart and shouted slogans loudly. As for cultivation, Jiang Hao didn't know how to divide cultivation in this world, but based on the spiritual power of a Taoist priest, he could probably draw five. Six primary talisman levels.

As for the Taoist priest and the two Taoist boys, they didn't even get in.

Ling Xiaozi took his two apprentices all the way to the county government office. The master greeted him with a smile at the door, and then led Ling Xiaozi to the Tutu Temple to meet the county magistrate.

The county magistrate Wang saw Ling Xiaozi and looked him up and down, "Taoist Priest, do you have the real ability to catch that evil spirit?"

Ling Xiaozi looked confident and waved, "As the contemporary master of Xuanyuan Temple, please rest assured, county magistrate. I have taken possession of ghosts at the level of the Ghost King. Catching and eliminating ghosts is our special skill. Yamen and I said how ferocious the ghost is, but I have confidence."

"Okay, okay!" The county magistrate nodded happily, "As long as the Taoist priest can get rid of that evil ghost, I am willing to offer you 500 taels of silver as a reward."

Ling Xiaozi was very satisfied with the price, "Don't worry, sir, if that ghost still dares to come, he will be included in our purple gourd." He took out a palm-sized purple gourd from his arms and said with a smile.

"What kind of treasure is this?" the magistrate asked.

"This is a magical weapon passed down from generation to generation by our Xuanyuan Temple. It is made of purple gold and specializes in collecting the souls of ghosts. It is omnipotent." Ling Xiaozi said confidently.

The county government office became busy again. A square table was placed in the venue and covered with yellow cloth. Ling Xiaozi took out many magic weapons from his pocket, such as the Dharma Seal, the Peach Wood Sword, the Nectar Bowl, the Soul-Calming Bell, the Changming Lamp, the Qiankun Bag, and the Qiankun Bag. There is a pocket of yellow paper charms inside.

Finally, place a small purple gold gourd in the middle.

This time, the Taoist priest did not ask the county government officials to come out to show off their popularity. The dozen or so government officials on duty all hid in the side rooms. They were curious about what was going on outside. Many people lay at the windows and secretly stared outside, wondering what would happen today.

As for County Magistrate Wang, based on his last experience, as long as he doesn't really catch the evil ghost who is seeking his life, he will never leave Tuigong Temple.

Everything was ready, and a futon was placed in front of the altar. Ling Xiaozi sat cross-legged and meditated with his eyes closed, waiting for the evil ghost to come when night fell.

Pullingleng~!

Two kestrels that were originally standing on the roof of the county government office flew away. They flew very fast and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

After a while, two kestrels flew to Qingxi Town and landed in a small courtyard. Jiang Hao reached out and touched the heads of the two kestrels and learned the information he wanted to know.

"No wonder he is so confident. It turns out that there is a magic weapon inherited by the sect, the Purple Gold Gourd, with such a high-end name." Jiang Hao murmured.

After thinking about it, he called Zhu Guang to explain, then touched the heads of the two kestrels and gave the order.

Although the Taoist priest's magic power is not strong, if the magic weapon is powerful, he is afraid that Zhu Guang will really fall into the Taoism, which will cause trouble.

late at night,

The county government office is still brightly lit.

The government officials were lying on the window looking out, feeling nervous and excited. Suddenly, one of the government officials in the room felt a cold feeling on his back. He felt a thrill in his heart. He slowly turned his head and saw a green ghost in the room. .

"Ah, ghost, the evil ghost is coming!"

When the yamen officer shouted, the others turned around and saw Li Gui, and immediately went crazy. They broke through the windows and ran out of the room like crazy. Their window-breaking movements were much more practiced than the county magistrate.

Taoist Master Ling Xiao, who was sitting cross-legged in meditation, jumped up from the futon, picked up the mahogany sword on the table with one hand, and the purple gold and copper gourd with the other hand.

"Disciples, follow me to catch ghosts."

After speaking, he quickly rushed towards the place where the government officials were screaming.

As soon as Taoist Master Ling Xiao rushed into the room, he saw a green shadow disappearing into the wall. Not long after, the screams of the government officials came from the next room again.

Taoist priest Ling Xiao jumped out of the window and chased to another room. When he rushed in, he only saw several government officials who had already been frightened to the ground.

"What about the evil ghost?" Taoist Master Ling Xiao asked anxiously.

"Floated away through the wall."

Taoist Master Ling Xiao frowned and said, "No, I'm afraid it's a trick to lure the tiger away from the mountain. The ghost may go to the Tutu Temple to find the county magistrate."

He quickly rushed out of the room and ran towards the Tu Tu Gong Temple. Taoist priest Ling Xiao moved quickly and quickly rushed to the front of the Tu Tu Gong Temple. At this moment, the temple door was tightly closed. Taoist Ling Xiao asked loudly: "Your Excellency, the county magistrate, that evil man Did the ghost come here?"

The county magistrate had been listening to the noise outside. Knowing that the evil spirit was coming, he was so frightened that he hugged the Earth God statue tightly and couldn't help but tremble. When Taoist Ling Xiao asked the question, he replied with a trembling voice: "If you haven't come, that evil spirit is Afraid of the landlord."

Taoist priest Ling Xiao breathed a sigh of relief.

But at this moment, a black shadow passed through the courtyard, and its claws grabbed the altar lamp. The lamp knocked over, spilled oil, and suddenly started to burn.

"Master, look, the altar is on fire." The Taoist boy shouted.

Taoist Priest Ling Xiao was startled and rushed to the altar. He saw that the ever-burning lamp on the table had been knocked over, and the lamp oil was flowing everywhere. A raging fire was burning, and several of his magical instruments were swallowed up by the fire. Taoist Priest Ling Xiao Hurry to the rescue and get back your seal and Soul-Calming Bell.

However, the Qiankun bag and a bag of talisman seals were devoured by the fire, which made Taoist Master Lingxiao feel very distressed. Those were the stocks he had accumulated for several months, and now they were all gone. You must know that the talisman seals were his best tool for dealing with evil spirits and ghosts. One of the important means.
