Chu Chen and the little devil were greatly disappointed. If they could capture or kill this bone demon, they would have accomplished a great feat.
Taoist Xu Ping shook his head:
"There is no pity. This is a real demon. The best time to kill it is when it kills wantonly and is lawless. That is when it is just a powerful demon beast. But now, the White Bone Demon's cultivation level has declined.
But it’s more difficult to deal with.”
Speaking of this, Taoist Master Xu Ping slowly exhaled a breath of turbidity.
"It has truly become a demon."
Chu Chen looked stern.
really!
The White Bone Demon used to be ferocious and cruel, and acted in extreme ways, but after all, it was just a monster that relied on instinct. It didn't know what the world was, and acted recklessly and wantonly.
This kind of monsters caused great damage at the beginning, killing and injuring many people.
But, after all, it can't be arrogant for long.
In this sky, the Dachang Celestial Empire shines, and the monsters dance more joyfully and die faster.
For all demons on the surface, their harm is limited and short-lived.
But now, this bone demon has become a real demon.
It is cunning, vicious in its methods, secretive in its movements, harmful to people invisibly, and difficult to guard against. It is more harmful and more difficult to deal with than when it was completely victorious.
"Master, how are the passers-by doing? Will the Bone Demon stealing their souls cause any harm to their bodies?"
Chu Chen thought of the passers-by watching the sideshows during the day.
Taoist priest Xu Ping shook his head and sighed:
"The White Bone Demon is cunning and has learned the business practices of our human merchants. We pay attention to a steady flow of water. Each person only steals a trace of Yang Soul. If it is only stolen once or twice, it can be recovered. If it is stolen a few times and the foundation is damaged, then we will be in trouble. Soul
It is the foundation of the Yuan Shen. If you hurt the Yuan Shen, your lifespan will be shortened."
Chu Chen was secretly frightened, what a sinister white-bone demon!
Next, Chief Xu Ping explained other developments in the case.
The hunchback stall pock-marked, trafficked, and colluded with demons to harm the people. The evidence was conclusive. Both crimes were punished. According to the law, he was beheaded in public to serve as a warning to others!
The villain in the box was a victim. He was coerced into performing and singing, and unknowingly became a medium for evil weapons to cast spells. There were extenuating circumstances, so he was not guilty. His family members in the neighboring county were notified to pick him up, and they also invited
Taoist doctors treated him, and he is expected to regain his height in the future.
The evil weapon in the wooden box, the remaining souls in the wooden box were sent back to the original owner by the City God's underworld messenger, and the wooden box of the evil weapon was sealed and stored in the warehouse.
The entire "Wooden Box Soul Stealing" incident has come to an end, except that the White Bone Demon behind the scenes is at large.
Chu Chen played a key role in the whole incident and contributed a lot, indirectly saving the villain and hundreds of passers-by.
This is also the reason why the Heart Temple accumulated a lot of merit for him.
If he were to slay the soul-stealing white-bone demon, his deeds would surely be even greater.
After finishing speaking, Taoist Xu Ping turned to look at Chu Chen, with an invisible smile on his serious face.
"This time, you have made a great contribution and saved a lot of effort."
When Chu Chen heard this, he felt happy.
"Master, what good can I do? Does the county magistrate want to reward me with money?"
Taoist Master Xu Ping glared at his disciple:
"Vulgar! What's so rare about yellow and white things? This benefit is more rare than any money."
Chu Chen became interested.
Taoist priest Xu Ping did not sell out and explained:
"Although you have become my disciple, learned the practice method, and gained magical power, you are still not a real Taoist priest, just a little Taoist boy."
"If an ordinary Taoist boy has no merit, he must practice with his master for four years. If he makes no mistakes, has a good conduct, and gathers his magic power after entering the Taoism, he can be taught the first-level Dharma Boy Zilu and become a true Taoist priest."
Chu Chen understood.
"Master, do you mean that I can be awarded the Dharma Ribbon based on this meritorious service?"
Taoist priest Xu Ping nodded: "Exactly!"
Chu Chen was surprised: "Master, didn't you say before that the Taoist sect has to go to the Wanfa Sect Altar in the imperial capital to impart the urn, and the disciple is going to the imperial capital this time?"
Taoist Xu Ping shook his head:
"You need to go to the imperial capital only if you are awarded the seventh-grade capital meritorious service. Normally, you can only be granted the award in this prefecture or county. In the next two days, your master and Magistrate Xu will organize the ceremony for you."
...
as expected.
On the third day, Taoist Xu Ping and Magistrate Xu prepared the burial ceremony for him.
The ritual of conferring talismans is the most solemn ceremony for Taoist talisman monks.
It allows ordinary people to re-construct their identity, first go to the altars of various sects and sects, and then be listed in the heavenly ranks and become candidate civil servants in the heavenly court.
In other words, the enshrinement ceremony is the ceremony for issuing heavenly ID cards.
The central figure in the ceremony is naturally Chu Chen, the person to be taught.
Those who bestowed upon him the nuns include the master, the supervisor, the recommender, the Dharma protector, the nun protector, the precept protector and the sponsor of the alliance, collectively known as the Nine Masters.
These Taoist priests and experts were all invited by Taoist priest Xu Ping from this county and other counties.
The magistrate of Xu County, the head of the county, and representatives of the imperial court also attended the ceremony.
The ceremony begins with the opening of the ceremony, and a series of processes such as hanging treasure flags, setting up the altar, announcing orders, ordering generals in court, paying homage to memorials and issuing discs, and enshrining the gods.
The Dharma urn was consecrated, and a Yin and Yang contract was formed with the Dharma altar. Some Yin ultimatums were burned, and Chu Chen held the Yang ultimatum...
After many complicated rituals, Chu Chen's identity changed from a Taoist boy to a Taoist priest, his status was separated from his mortal status, he was listed in the Tiancao list, and he became a candidate for the immortal official of the heaven.
Chu Chen's first Dharma urn this time was the first-level boy's urn.
Tongzilu, the full name is Taishang Yiguan Tongzilu, also known as Yijungui.
After being awarded the Dharma Ribbon, you are a candidate Taoist priest for the immortal officials of Dachang Xianting, and you have the qualifications to become one.
At present, Chu Chen's qualifications are too low to be awarded the title of Immortal Official. He will need to accumulate merit and good luck in the future to become a real Immortal Official.
However, this time Chu Chen made a great contribution, and the Dachang Xianting Dharma Altar readily allocated divine generals, personnel, and soldiers to him.
God's generals and their soldiers are not only the teachings of the law, but also the art of war and magic taught by the side sects.
For the first time, the Dachang Xianting Dharma Altar awarded twenty-one soldiers and horses, which were allocated by the Xin'an City God's Prefectural Government and included in the urn.
In the future, Chu Chen can allocate his troops and horses in the jar at will to protect the altar and slay demons.
...
Xu Mansion, night.
After the enshrinement ceremony, Chu Chen was a little tired physically, but he was in great spirits.
In the clean room, he held his breath and concentrated, looking inside several times.
Soon, a talisman appeared in the sea of consciousness.
Astonishingly, it is Dachang’s first-level dharma urn [Tongzi urn of the Supreme Official].
Chu Chen silently recited the mantra to launch troops.
The next moment, in the yard outside the house, there was a gloomy wind.
Chu Chen opened the door and took a casual look.
"Meet the Immortal Master!"
"Swish, swish, swish!"
Twenty-one Yin soldiers all knelt down on one knee.
Chu Chen had magical power, and this time he could clearly see the appearance of his Yin soldiers and Yin generals.
The ghost soldiers and ghost generals are no different from ordinary soldiers. They hold weapons and armor, and have an awe-inspiring aura. At a glance, you can tell that they are the well-trained Yin soldiers and Yin generals of Xin'an City God's Underworld.
Among the twenty-one soldiers and horses, there is one ghost general, and the rest are all shady soldiers.
"Come on, all officers and men, please get up quickly. We are destined to work together. We will be successful in the future. You and I will go to Penglai together!"
"Thank you, Master Immortal!"
The faces of these twenty Yin soldiers and Yin generals also showed longing.
If you follow an immortal master, your destiny will be linked to that of the immortal master in the future, and you will share weal and woe.
If the immortal master's path to immortality is prosperous, he will have a better future than working as an errand in the underworld in a county.
They had inquired before applying for the job, and found out that this little immortal master was the proud disciple of Sidu Guan, the Guan of Ghosts and Gods in Xin'an. A famous teacher would produce a great disciple, and his future would definitely be great.
In order to be selected, they spent a lot of effort, competing with each other in martial arts, and building connections with others. It can be said that they used all their methods.
Perhaps full of expectations for the outside world, this group of Yin soldiers and Yin generals shouted loudly, exerting extra force, and an invisible air of chilling air came over them.
Chu Chen looked at the brave and fierce Yin soldiers and generals in front of him, and felt very happy.
"General, I wonder who your last name is?"
"The Immortal Master Qi, the last general Gao Yuan, a native of Xin'an, was born in the military during his lifetime..."
