Grandpa Sect Leader

Chapter 66 Grandpa Sect Leader

He stared at that direction - the earthen wall against which the head of the bed leaned, the position above the stove in the past, and slowly said: "Let's clean up tomorrow, you should go to bed."

Xue Baoping was silent in the dark for a while: "Well, then I'll go back."

When Li Wuxiang heard the door of the main room being closed, he immediately got up and walked to the head of the bed. There was no light but there was moonlight, and he could see clearly - the place where the bed was originally located was the big stove, and on the side of the stove against the wall, there was a portrait of the Kitchen God.

These days, Chen Xin has gathered the people in the town and told them several times that every household is not allowed to worship the Kitchen God anymore, and is not allowed to mention the incident that day, but to worship Taiyi. Zeng Jianqiu drew a portrait of Taiyi for them, and Chen Xin has sent someone to Qingjiang City to make the statue, and it will be brought back in a few days.

The one in Xue Baoping's house was also removed that night. Together with the small and portrait images of the Kitchen God in other families, they were all sent to the Kitchen God Temple. They were worshipped for three consecutive days according to the rituals Zeng Jianqiu said, and then slowly sent away.

But now when Li Wuxiang looked carefully, he found that there were still traces on the loess wall - the portrait of the Kitchen God had been posted on the wall for a long time and was stained by oil smoke, so after it was removed, there were still faint ink marks left.

And now, just now, he suddenly felt hungry.

He wanted to put his face on Xue Baoping's neck and bite it hard.

The problem was that the incense that Zhao Kui left in his body had completely freed him from the trouble of hunger these days. He was refreshed and happy because of this, and he hadn't felt anything strange for a long time.

After he saw the traces on the wall clearly, he slowly stepped back a few steps, still staring at it, while taking out the only two remaining talisman papers, and on one of them, against the strong resistance, he wrote another character "trapped" ".

Then, he took out another piece of talisman paper from his bosom.

This one was the last one of the portraits of the Kitchen God drawn by Zhao Qi that were collected from every household. The others had been burned, and he kept this one so that he could study Zhao Qi's brushwork in detail when he had time.

He walked back to the bedside with these two talismans and stood there, whispering, "Zhao Kui."

There was no response.

He thought about it for a moment, then glanced down at the ground and saw a few small branches in the corner. He picked up three and twisted them in his hand, gathering his energy at his fingertips, and then suddenly rushed towards the branches. Sparks lit up with a hissing sound, and then green smoke drifted away.

Li Wuxiang pressed the talisman drawn by Zhao Qi onto the ink of the Kitchen God statue, and inserted three burning branches into the cracks in the wall, and asked again: "Zhao Kui?"

The green smoke instantly turned into three straight lines, rushing straight to the roof. A slight breeze blew in the room, and in the wind, Li Wuxiang heard a faint sound--

"Hehe... Do you think I'm gone like this... My dear disciple... I said I'm already in the immortal class... Hehe... Hehe..."

Li Wuxiang listened quietly, thought for a while, and put away the trapped character in his hand.

"I suggest you shut up first. If I'm not mistaken, your current situation is like this - you are a false god created by Zhao Qi, and you need to be worshipped to live forever. But now, the people of Jinshui don't worship you anymore, and I have taken the talisman drawn by Zhao Qi, leaving only this one in my hand. After a while, the people of Jinshui will move to Lijiawan. When this generation slowly dies out, in another 20 or 30 years, no one will know about this, and you will be gone too."

Li Wuxiang nodded: "Yes, so are you planning to ask me for help now, but you are still hoping that you can trick me again? From the stove to the past few days, you have never been able to beat me once, and now you are doing it again? Do you know what this is called? This is called being both inexperienced and playful."

The whisper suddenly became urgent: "Little beast -"

Li Wuxiang immediately picked up the talisman paper drawn by Zhao Qi, and with a push of his finger, the talisman head suddenly burst into flames, burning a small half.

"Okay, okay, stop, stop!"

"Call me Grandpa."

"Grandpa, Grandpa... You are a living ancestor!"

"That's more like it." Li Wuxiang flicked his hand, and the flame on the talisman paper went out. "Just fart, what do you want to do?"

The green smoke on the branch rushed up again, and then Zhao Kui's voice was heard: "... If that swordsman didn't get rid of you, he must have told you what you are now... right? Do you want to become like me back then? Look like a good person? I tell you, if you look like this, you will be caught and refined as a magic weapon-"

Li Wuxiang sat down on the bed: "Well said, so how did you refine those talismans?

"You have to save me first, not just for me, but also for you. You are now the leader of Ranshan, and I refine this for our Ranshan. I... I... ah, um? I am... I am..."

The whisper gradually became ethereal, and the sparks on the top of the three branches suddenly lit up and burned to the bottom. Zhao Kui's voice became a little clearer: "It's uncomfortable, I'm too uncomfortable, you can give me three incense sticks, it's uncomfortable, I can't say it..."

"You are worthy?" Li Wuxiang picked up three more branches and re-lit them, and then inserted them into the cracks in the wall, "You can say it or not, anyway, I will go to Ranshan tomorrow."

Zhao Puppet sucked half of the three branches suddenly, and then said: "Okay, okay, it's good to go to Ranshan. You are the sect master of Ranshan. Listen to me. I said it is for Ranshan." Really, our thirty-six sects, the Taiyi who used to worship and the rest The sects are all the same, they are all great gods who hold the law of heaven. Why is it declining now? Is it because Taiyi has been suppressed? The divine power is greatly damaged and cannot protect us... The most powerful magical methods in the past have now become inferior. It’s a little trick…”

"Look at other people's Dharma teachings. Their great gods are flourishing. Disciples are protected by great gods and ancestors who have become immortals in their practice. When they draw the talisman and practice it, they are also protected by those above. The power is amazing! So I That’s what I’m doing. I’ve made myself an immortal. Then I’ll call you the queen. If people worship me as their ancestor and enjoy the incense, I can also bless you. Although it is not as good as those great gods, but in the thirty-six sects, as long as we stay well in the mountain gate and ask me to bless you, you will be able to bless you. There’s no need to be afraid of others, right? I’ve worked so hard for Shanmen…”

Li Wuxiang nodded: "No. How did you make your talisman?"

The breeze in the room blew violently, and the three branches were almost sucked to the bottom again: "Hmph, you are so stubborn. Do you think you are hugging the swordsman's lap? I tell you, you are seeking death! That Zeng Jianqiu took it before If Qiao doesn't teach you, do you think he really doesn't want to? He is eager for you to learn it! He said that their sword sect's skills are the best in the world, but if they are just slow in practicing, how come there are only so many Eighty-one Swordsmen? ? It’s so funny!”

"I'm telling you, it's because these sword sects are being watched by the people of the Dharma Sect! Why do you think they don't have a mountain gate dojo like the other thirty-six sects? Do you think they like to run around in scattered places? Go? Because as soon as they formed a society and built a Shanmen monastery, the people of the Dharma religion immediately found their lair and destroyed it! Didn't he tell you about that shabby place? It’s only been built for about fifty years!”

"You learned their skills and became a thorn in the side of the Dharma! You even gave Guangchanzi to him... Why do you think this magical skill has been passed down to generations of Ranshan sect masters but never practiced it? Because the ancestor said This thing is evil! We must not let anyone know that it is in our hands!"

"Why did I practice? Because now those swordsmen knew that this technique was in Ranshan and were coming to find them, so I hurriedly ran away! Now that I have become an immortal, no one in Ranshan's disciples knows about this technique. Those swordsmen I can’t be found either!”

Li Wuxiang probably knew the current predicament of the swordsmen. In fact, when Zhao Qi told him that the swordsman claimed to have inherited the Taiyi orthodoxy, he had a rough guess. Otherwise, why wouldn’t the Ranshan Sect be called the Taiyi Sect instead of giving up this orthodox name? It's also to avoid disaster.

Just - "I know that Guangchanzi is evil, but why can't people know that it's in your hands?" Li Wuxiang flicked the branch that was about to burn to the bottom, "And haven't you become a god now? Are you afraid? What?"

"I...what am I afraid of? I'm afraid of the Dharma! The Patriarch said that we must not let the people who teach the Dharma know that Guangchanzi is in our hands. As for why, it has been passed down from generation to generation and has not been passed down! But this The matter must be extremely important to the teachings. What kind of person is the Patriarch? After our Patriarch became enlightened, he was the Kitchen God! "

"But now, if you let the Dharma know about this matter... they will take action to kill you, and they will eradicate the roots! It doesn't matter if you are not afraid of death, they will definitely catch me again! Not to mention that you still have external evil spirits on your body ! You understand the method of exorcising evil spirits within a radius of ten miles! Have you done it? If you want to refine your own method, take me to Ranshan Mountain quickly. The talisman can only be refined at the mountain gate... You enshrine me in the tablet of the ancestors of all generations, and I will teach you, and then I will tell you. How do you find a good place to hide? You need to make yourself a good person first!"

Li Wuxiang thought for a while: "It's scary to hear you say that."

"You know it's okay to be afraid!"

"But since you can't figure out why you can't let others know about Guang Chanzi, I'd better ask Zeng Jianqiu. Even if he doesn't know, aren't there still three sword immortals? They are better than a half-hearted person like you."

Li Wuxiang stretched out his hand and flicked the three firewood sticks stuck on the wall, and the sparks immediately dispersed, along with Zhao Puppet's voice: "...Good boy, do you think this is over? I am immortal, Taoist Master. Lingshan has occupied the ancient cave and summoned soldiers and horses. I will pester you wherever you go——"

The spark went out and Zhao Puppet's voice disappeared.

Li Wuxiang looked at the Stove Lord's talisman in his hand and put it away.

Zeng Jianqiu was right. It seems that the Zhao puppet will not die in a short time. He slowly thought about what he just said, and felt that it was true and false. It must be true that Zhao Puppet's situation is not good, otherwise he would not let go of his arrogance and call his sect master grandpa after he kept saying that he would become an immortal.

It must be true that the swordsmen are in a bad situation and Guang Chanzi is involved in something important. But it doesn't matter, since he has decided to cultivate the True Immortal Body Dao Chapter, he will not change his mind. Man said that there is still an external evil that wants to save his life, even if he can't... the so-called Dharma teachings, the six mysterious teachings, only occupy a part of the world. In his previous life, the pressure he faced in the industry he was engaged in was much greater than this, so he would not be deterred by this kind of thing.

He had wanted to ask Ranshan's former disciple how to make paper, but now Zhao Puppet had jumped out on his own, so he could really ask him in the future. But there is no need to rush now, this can be regarded as a negotiation method - he is much more anxious than himself.

But what does it mean to "occupy an ancient cave in Lingshan"? Zeng Jianqiu has talked about a lot of common sense about cultivation these days, but he has never heard of this.

Li Wuxiang thought for a while and walked out to the woodshed. But just as he was about to push the door open, his hand stopped for a moment.

There was no sound inside.

He exhaled slowly and pushed the door open a crack...the room was empty. He walked in and found that the quilt had been folded. I looked at the wall again and didn't see any writing.

No wonder Zhao Puppet dared to show up just now, maybe because Zeng Jianqiu left. He sat down on the shop for a while, sighed, patted the quilt, and walked back to his room.

At dawn the next day, he and Xue Baoping finished breakfast and put down their bowls and chopsticks: "Zeng Jianqiu left last night, and I will leave today. If things go well, I will see if I can come back to celebrate the New Year. You guys move After you go to Lijiawan, ask Chen Xin to find a slightly larger house for you. If Zeng Jianqiu comes back, we will be considered half of his apprentices. "

"Will you be able to eat by then? What do you like to eat? I'll prepare it for you in advance."

Li Wuxiang smiled and thought for a while: "My favorite food is actually seafood. Have you ever eaten it?"

Xue Baoping shook his head.

"Then let me see if I can get some for you. Anything else is fine, tofu, chicken, etc. When winter comes, you can freeze some pears and apples for me, and some frozen tofu."

"Well, I'll freeze in the tank then."

Li Wuxiang got up, walked to the room, carried the package, pushed open the door to the courtyard - there was heavy fog outside, but there were already several people and a black horse standing under the big willow tree outside the door. Chen Xin held the reins in his hand, and when he saw Li Wuxiang coming out, he cupped his hands and said, "My master said goodbye to me last night. I guess you are leaving too, Master Xian, so I prepared a horse and this. "

He handed over a long knife: "My master said you might need it, Master Immortal."

Li Wuxiang nodded: "Thank you, I won't be polite."

He took the knife, tied it around his waist, got on the horse again, waved his hand towards Xue Baoping: "Let's go."

Xue Baoping covered his mouth and waved to him. Li Wuxiang turned the horse's head, clamped his legs slightly, and the black horse started walking in small steps.

He rode across the bridge and turned to take a look at the bridge - a haggard young woman stood in the thick fog and looked at him. When she met his gaze, she quickly retracted into the fog.

It seems to be Chen Xiu.
