Chapter 144: I Can't Live In Winter, I Plant Peach Blossoms With Buddha's Blood

Not long after, the black armor army swept away all the treasures, classics and materials in Xiaohanshan Temple.

Put a seal on the door.

"Daoist Qinghui, Xiaohanshan Temple has been sealed up by us. I will report back to Dongling County!"

The black armor army turned around and said.

Zhang Ming took a look at this thousand-year-old temple, one of the three sects and seventeen sects, passed down for more than ten generations, made a mistake, and the general situation was turbulent, and it was destroyed in a blink of an eye.

"You wait for me here, I will come as I go."

He gave instructions to Guo Xiang, Yin Xue and Xia Houchun, stepped in the air, summoned clouds under his feet, and flew towards the bottom of Bodhi Cliff with him.

The eyes of the Heijiajun shrank.

"This is... soaring through the clouds!?"

"No wonder the Xiaohanshan Temple can be destroyed. The supernatural powers of this Taoist priest of Qinghui are indeed far beyond our imagination."

They whispered a few words.

At this moment, a group of people came from outside the mountain gate, they were the descendants of the aristocratic family who had gone and returned.

"Brothers of the Black Armored Army, I am Qi Ling, the governor of the county. I wonder if my father has any arrangements?"

The one who took the lead was the youngest son of the governor of Qi.

Seeing him, Guo Xiang curled her lips and turned her head away.

"It turned out to be the young master of the county guard's mansion. His subordinates and others were ordered to surround the mountain and could not leave without authorization. That's why they didn't come to see him. Please forgive me!"

The leader of the Black Armored Army said, "The governor of the county has already made an arrangement. If Lingshu wins, the young master has made great achievements in assisting the Taoist priest of Qinghui in suppressing the rebellion. You should follow me to triumphantly return to Dongling County."

Qi Ling was overjoyed after hearing this: "Then I will thank you brothers to escort us back to the county town!"

The others were also happy when they heard this.

They were worrying about the destruction of the Xiaohanshan Temple, and they had nowhere to go, even if they went back to the county, it would be a long way, and they didn't know what monsters and bandits they would encounter along the way.

Now following Qi Ling, there is security.

"Congratulations, Mr. Qi! You have made great achievements in suppressing the rebellion of Xiaohanshan Temple. Once you enter the official career, you will surely rise to the top!"

"That's right, Mr. Qi is the most talented and handsome. Please take care of me in the future."

"Young master Qi, my younger brother is not talented, and I am willing to do the work of a dog and a horse!"

"..."

They compliment each other.

With a smile on his face, Qi Ling cupped his hands and said, "You guys are welcome! My Qi family is in Dongling County, and relying on everyone's support, we will naturally advance and retreat together and share wealth!"

It has to be said that the governor of Qi County in Dongling County is also a man with a deep scheming mind. He sits on the mountain and watches the tigers fight, and reaps the benefits of the fisherman. This is to pave the way for his son through the struggle between Buddhism and Taoism.

Now is the time to conquer people's hearts.

Hearing his words, the disciples of the aristocratic families immediately cheered up and responded one after another.

"It's a good one to advance and retreat together, to be rich together! Mr. Qi, my younger brother Chen Youliang, if you can use the power of Mr. Chen to take charge of the Chen family, you will definitely be the only one who will look after you!"

"So am I, Liu Xuande!"

"My son is a great talent, please accept my younger brother!"

"..."

They are not the eldest sons in the family, otherwise they would not be sent to Xiaohanshan Temple to worship Buddha.

Now that the opportunity to make a fortune is here, they are not fools, even if they know that Qi Ling is winning people's hearts, they still have to seize it tightly and climb up the pole.

This is also a turning point in their lives!

But Guo Xiang and Yin Xue watched with contempt for a while, this group of children from aristocratic families are really shameless.

The one who defeated Xiaohanshan Temple was obviously the Taoist priest of Qinghui.

As a result, not only Qi Ling wanted to take credit, but also this group of guys wanted to gain influence and form cliques for personal gain.

"Young Master Qi is so majestic! I just don't know which eminent monk from Xiaohanshan Temple you defeated?"

Guo Xiang couldn't help but sneered.

She had a marriage contract with Qi Ling, so she didn't like him at all, and because she was young and simple-minded, she didn't think much about it, so she just opened up.

However, this sentence was like pouring a basin of cold water on the lively crowd, and they immediately calmed down.

Qi Ling's face was ugly, and when he found that the woman who spoke was the one watching on the Bodhi Cliff, he couldn't help but feel a burning passion in his heart.

So he pretended to be magnanimous and arched his hands.

"This girl, although Qi has never defeated the eminent monks of Xiaohanshan Temple, but for the past month, Qi has been fighting with them and arguing with reason!"

He said vaguely, "These people are obvious to all, no matter how humiliated and beaten by that Xiaohanshan Temple, we have never surrendered!"

When the others heard it, they all agreed.

"Yes! If Mr. Qi hadn't led me to deal with it, I'm afraid I wouldn't have lasted until now!"

"Those bald donkeys are too cruel!"

"It's tears when I say it, my chrysanthemum... No, the injury on my buttocks hasn't healed yet..."

"..."

Every performance is exaggerated.

Guo Xiang's face was flushed with anger, and he spat: "Shameless! You will only give money to yourself!"

"Everyone, be quiet!"

Qi Ling stood up at the right time and said, "This girl doesn't know the truth, and it's normal for her to misunderstand us. Please be merciful and don't bully her again."

Everyone understood, and no longer spoke.

Guo Xiang is intelligent, so he couldn't understand that this was a harmony, so he couldn't help but secretly spit: "Shameless!"

Qi Ling asked with burning eyes: "Girl, it seems it's all a misunderstanding. I don't know what to call the girl, how about returning to the county with us?"

He also thought that such a little girl was easy to deceive.

As long as he is on the road, He Chou has no chance to make a move.

Guo Xiang's face was cold, and she couldn't help snorting anymore: "Qi Ling! Don't even think about it! I tell you, even if I become a monk, I will never marry..."

Before she could finish speaking, she was pulled by Yin Xue.

Xia Houchun stepped out at the same time, and said: "Young Master Qi, Xia Houchun, the captain of Qingqi in Xiananling City, came to pick you up on the orders of City Lord Guo!"

He directly stated his identity and purpose.

According to Guo Liqing's arrangement, Xia Houchun's trip was to escort Guo Xiang on the one hand, and on the other hand, to bring back these people and win the support of the prefect's mansion and the aristocratic family.

It's just that they didn't expect that the governor of Qi had already arranged for the black armor army to be the backup.

"So it's Captain Xiahou of Nanling City! Disrespect, disrespect!"

Qi Ling smiled politely, "In this case, we are a family. Captain Xiahou may not know that I have been married to the daughter of City Lord Guo..."

Before he finished speaking, he reacted.

"So, the girl is..."

Qi Ling guessed Guo Xiang's identity all of a sudden, and couldn't help laughing, "It turned out that Miss Xiang'er was in person, and Qi didn't take good care of her, please forgive me!"

His eyes lit up all over.

I thought it would take some means to win this woman, but I didn't expect this to be my fiancée.

"It seems that the heavens really care for me, Qi Ling! If I remember correctly, she has reached the age of marriage, and I will urge my father to arrange the marriage as soon as possible when I get back."

He was very happy in his heart, he was able to keep such a beauty in the account, and the other wild flowers and willows could also be kept for a while.

But Guo Xiang already hated him extremely.

"Captain Xiahou, drive him away, I don't want to see him!"

Guo Xiang ordered without giving any face.

Xia Houchun was a little embarrassed: "Miss..."

The opposite is the son of the county guard's mansion, and even Guo Chengzhu wants to curry favor with him, so he deliberately revealed his identity, just to prevent the two sides from having disputes.

However, Yin Xue has already pulled out the knife without saying a word.

The breath of life-shaping realm burst out instantly.

Qi Ling turned pale and stepped back.

This group of descendants from aristocratic families are all embroidered pillows, and the ones with the highest cultivation are only at the Qi Cultivation Realm, how can they withstand Yin Xue's oppression.

At the critical moment, the captain of the Eagle Group of the Black Armored Army stood up and shouted, "Hugh, don't be presumptuous!"

This person's aura collided with Yin Xue, and he was also a strong man in the life-shaping realm.

However, stimulated by this, Xia Houchun also came back to his senses.

He was ashamed, as a member of the Vanguard Battalion of the Xuanjia Army in the past, he was not as decisive as a woman.

"Hehe, the Black Armored Army, what a majesty!"

Xia Houchun took a step forward and said coldly, "Your commander Dou Jun was only a battalion commander of the Xuanjia Army under the late emperor's command. According to the order, he should have disarmed and returned to the fields."

"But he dared to disobey the first emperor's decree, thinking that hiding in Dongling County and building a name as the Black Armored Army could forget the responsibility of the border and the pain of the Northern Expedition?"

The captain of the Black Armored Army couldn't help but look solemn after being rushed by his breath.

This person is also a strong man in the life-shaping realm!

Although there are many people on his side, there is one less person in the Fate-Shaping Realm than the other side. If there is a real conflict, there are more defeats than victories.

"You actually know about our General Dou's past!"

He was a little apprehensive in his heart, and said unwillingly to show weakness, "There are thousands of my Black Armored Army outside this mountain, and you are not allowed to be presumptuous here! It is not up to you to dictate how my Black Armored Army will behave!"

Xia Houchun held the knife in his hand, and the blood in his body was suddenly aroused.

"Oh, want to be presumptuous? Do you want to try?"

When both sides were anxious, they suddenly heard a dragon chant in the air.

The goshawk hovering around the black armor army immediately trembled and fell to the ground.

"Not good! This is..."

The black-armored army commander suddenly felt something was wrong and looked up.

I saw a giant cyan dragon covered in scales, soaring and swimming in the clouds.

With four legs and a python body, a dragon head but no horns, it is the Dharma Protector Chilong kept in captivity in Xiaohanshan Temple!

When they were searching the mountain just now, they had seen this monster dragon before, but it was bound by a green rope and could not move at all.

And they knew that this was the method of Daoist Qing Hui, so they didn't touch it.

I didn't expect it to break free now.

"This is a monster at the peak of the Yang God Realm! Invincible! Withdraw, withdraw quickly!"

He no longer cared about fighting with Xia Houchun and the others, and retreated outside with an order.

Qi Ling and the others turned pale and followed closely behind.

However, at this moment, suddenly there was a person with sharp eyes, pointing at the soaring Chilong, and shouted in disbelief: "Look quickly! There is someone on the Chilong's back!"

Everyone in the Black Armored Army looked up into the distance, and they saw a black shadow standing on the Chilong's back.

The leading captain was a strong man in the Life Shaping Realm, his eyes sparkled, and he immediately saw that it was a man in a light blue Taoist robe.

"It's Daoist Qing Hui!"

Yin Xue exclaimed with surprise on her face.

Everyone in the Black Armored Army also stopped and understood the identity of the opponent.

"It turned out that it wasn't the chilong monster that broke free from its shackles, but... was subdued by that Taoist!"

The leader of the eagle team just couldn't believe it.

You must know that this monster has been kept in Xiaohanshan Temple for hundreds of years, and it has long been loyal to Buddhism. If it weren't for this, it would not be listed as a guardian animal.

Now that Daoist Qing Hui only left for a moment, he managed it like a beast.

"Could it be that he is also proficient in beast control..."

This thought arose in his heart, and he shook his head with a smile, feeling unbelievable.

I'm afraid there is some treasure to drive monsters.

Qi Ling's eyes were full of fear.

This Daoist Qinghui is really terrifying, is it really appropriate to take credit for him?

When everyone was shocked, the dragon had already circled twice, and suddenly bent down and rushed towards the ancient temple below.

"call--"

A violent dragon's breath spewed out from its mouth.

Halfway through the breath, it seemed to be ignited by an unknown flame, and it burned fiercely with a "swish".

Then, the entire dragon's breath fell into the thousand-year-old temple like fire from the sky, igniting the buildings.

Chilong circled once more, spitting out dragon breath flames one after another.

Soon, the entire Xiaohanshan Temple became a sea of ​​flames.

The captain of the Black Armored Army had an ugly expression on his face: "This... this place has been sealed up by us under the order of the Holy One. What is Qing Hui Daoist doing here!?"

He only felt that the faces of himself and the Holy One were being slapped face to face at the same time.

In the next second, the chilong monster's head turned and flew towards the mountain gate.

His body stopped above the mountain gate, with his head bowed down, and a Taoist strolled out from above.

Zhang Ming didn't know about the battle between the two parties just now, but he said calmly: "This Xiaohanshan Temple was built by the poor Daoist, so donate those classics and treasures to the imperial court."

"However, the poor have the final say on this site. Instead of keeping it sealed up and rebuilt, it's better to burn it down. Let's plant peach trees, and it will be a blessing!"

After finishing speaking, he looked up at the group of black armored soldiers on the mountain road, and asked, "What do you guys think?"

The leader of the Heijia Army shivered, and hastily cupped his hands and said, "What Qinghui Daoist said is that this fire will burn."

But he secretly thought in his heart that no matter what, he still needs to report the truth to the sheriff's office.

Today's saints worship Buddhism and suppress Taoism. Originally, this spiritual pivot won the victory, which can be regarded as a victory for Taoism.

But now he is so disrespectful to the imperial court that he even dared to set fire to the sealed temple, which is clearly a slap in the face of the Holy Majesty.

What about peach trees...

Qi Ling and the others lowered their heads respectfully, not daring to speak.

The chilong monster exuding a terrifying aura perched above its head, staring at everyone.

"Xiahouchun, go and scatter these peach tree seeds all over the mountain!"

Zhang Ming didn't bother to talk to them, and ordered directly.

Xia Houchun quickly took the seed bag thrown over, and said in response, "I obey!"

The bag containing the seeds was huge, and before he could leave, three more bags half the height of a person were thrown from the opposite side.

Xia Houchun opened it and saw that there were indeed peach tree seeds inside. Daoist... Really want to plant peach trees?

Holding it in his hand, he flew up into the air, followed the trend of the mountain, and scattered the peach tree seeds outside.

Zhang Ming watched quietly without speaking.

Now that the current sage is frightening himself with the destruction of Xiaohanshan Temple, then he will simply destroy it completely.

"Hehe, if you want to seal up this place and resettle it elsewhere, then I will destroy your plan first."

Zhang Ming thought to himself.

This is also his anti-deterrence to the opponent.

What he expressed was clear.

If it annoys me, I don't mind going all out to fight the Great Jin Dynasty, or even burn down the Great Jin Palace like now.

Most importantly, of course, this is what the mission requires.

With a wave of his hand, the chilong monster dragged it and flew upwards, and the mountain had been burned to ashes.

"Four directions gather spirits, turn qi into essence, gather the blood of all living beings, and nourish all things!"

Zhang Ming thought softly, stretched out his hand as if holding the spiritual vein of this mountain, and pulled towards the middle.

The endless vitality of heaven and earth gathers along the formation.

This is what he just announced in the Quartet.

The sky above the mountain was red with blood, which was the location of the fallen monks.

When a cultivator dies, there will be vitality, blood essence, luck and remnant souls left in place.

Now, it is these remaining auras that are manifested by the formation.

The blood was like rain, falling on the ground.

The trees, flowers and plants on the entire mountain suddenly seemed to be nourished, and they grew crazily.

And among them, the seeds gave birth to shoots.

They broke through the soil, grew vigorously, turned into tender green peach trees, and then crazily extended to high places.

In the cold of winter, peaches are planted in the mud and cannot survive.

Now with Buddha's blood... to grow peach blossoms!
