Hearing the scolding, the businessman surnamed Tao showed a look of embarrassment on his face.
After being stunned for a moment, he let out a long sigh, seemed to have made some kind of decision, and said slowly:
"Now, I won't hide it from the Immortal Master. Recently, I bought a large piece of land and discovered a spiritual field by chance."
"Ever since I discovered the spiritual field, demons have been secretly stalking me."
"At first, I was greedy. Even if there was a ghost entangled with me, I didn't report it to the Department of Ghosts and Gods. I thought I would hire someone to solve it myself.
"But I didn't expect it. I asked someone to catch and eliminate demons and angered the monsters. They actually attacked my guard warriors and injured four of my men."
"I was extremely frightened. It was warning me that it would definitely come to me next. I finally figured it out. My life is the most important thing. I want the immortal master to make the decision for me. I don't want the spiritual field anymore. I want the immortal master to make the decision for me."
I make the decision."
The businessman surnamed Tao told the whole story in a rapid-fire manner.
When Chu Chen heard this, he was surprised and then relieved.
No wonder the businessman surnamed Tao was hesitant and unwilling to report it to the Department of Ghosts and Gods. It turned out to be because the case involved a spiritual field.
The so-called spiritual field is a place where the spiritual energy of mountains and rivers gather together by chance, where the creation of heaven and earth gathers and nourishes all things.
In the world of spiritual practice, there is the art of Kanyu Feng Shui, which is specially used in Kanyu spiritual fields and blessed places.
Under normal circumstances, it is easier for spiritual fields and blessed places to be born in deep mountains and rivers, where mountains and rivers are rich in aura.
Previously, Chu Chen and the others discovered the place where true incense dropped in Longling Mountain, which was the prototype of a spiritual field. With some cultivation and cultivation, it would be a good spiritual field.
However, in the deep mountains and rivers where demons and insects are rampant, we found that it is easy to cultivate spiritual fields, but it is very difficult to maintain spiritual fields.
The truly valuable spiritual fields are those where humans gather, there are few demons, and it is easy to cultivate and maintain them.
For example, the spiritual field discovered by a businessman named Tao in Lanyu Town is a quite precious asset.
For aristocratic families and cultivation sects, such spiritual fields are "heirlooms" and are the foundation for the prosperity of a party's power.
There are no monks in the family of the merchant surnamed Tao, so he is just a businessman, and the spiritual field falls into his hands, which is really a hot potato.
It's understandable that he doesn't want to report to the official.
Even the people from the Department of Ghosts and Gods would not covet his spiritual land.
Once the news is leaked and known to others, it will be a big trouble. He may not be able to keep his spiritual field at all.
The businessman surnamed Tao actually has a clear conscience, but people are greedy.
Until the last moment, the businessman surnamed Tao was unwilling to give up the meat he had obtained, and was willing to make every effort.
He didn't make up his mind until his own life was threatened.
"mess!"
After listening to the explanation from the businessman named Tao, Chu Chen shook his head,
"Since the demon is targeting you because of the spiritual field, you should report it to the Department of Ghosts and Gods immediately, and your subordinates will not suffer for it."
The businessman surnamed Tao said coyly: "Yes, the common people know that they are wrong, and they still ask the immortal master to make decisions for the common people."
Soon, the servants of the Tao Mansion carried the injured guard warrior over.
Chu Chen took a general look.
Each one of them was indeed seriously injured, but the opponent's attack was very measured and not fatal.
It's just that the muscles and bones are injured, and they need to rest for a while to recover.
"It's not fatal, and the demon has not left any evil aura, so don't worry."
Chu Chen said calmly.
When the businessman surnamed Tao heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief and sighed:
"Sure enough, it was warning me that it was also eyeing my spiritual field."
Chu Chen nodded slightly.
This possibility is very high.
But it is more likely that the spiritual field discovered by the merchant surnamed Tao was originally a place where monsters and monsters lurk.
The businessman surnamed Tao disturbed the other party by cultivating spiritual fields, so he went to Tao's house to cause trouble and threatened and warned him.
Cases like this are common and common in this world where demons, humans, and ghosts live together.
"How did you discover Spirit Field?"
Chu Chen was curious. Ordinary monks who entered Taoism and were not good at Feng Shui, or had spiritual eyes and magical powers like Chu Chen's to see the spiritual energy, would not be able to discover the spiritual field.
The businessman surnamed Tao in front of him has some inner energy and some martial arts, but he is not a Taoist and cannot even be called a monk.
How did he discover Ling Tian?
The businessman surnamed Tao said honestly:
"The piece of land I bought had a jade mine underground. I led people to explore around and accidentally discovered many precious spiritual herbs and elixirs in the mountains. I didn't care about it at first. Later, I discovered the magical herbs and elixirs next to the solitary grave.
There were more and more medicines, and I vaguely guessed that it was a spiritual field."
"In my early years, I was doing business everywhere, and I accidentally learned how to cultivate spiritual fields, so I started preparing..."
When Chu Chen heard this, he became more and more sure of his guess.
A businessman surnamed Tao wanted to open up a spiritual field, but destroyed the place where monsters practiced, which led to a series of subsequent events.
A case involving disputes between developers and indigenous peoples.
This kind of case is actually quite troublesome.
This monster is obviously very measured. It only warns to drive away outsiders and protect its homeland. It does not actively harm anyone. It is also very measured when it attacks people and reserves its strength.
As an immortal official of the Department of Ghosts and Gods, although it is his duty to slay demons, he does not just shout and kill all monsters.
For these kind of monsters who have reasonable demands and behave in a gentle manner, the Department of Ghosts and Gods mainly mediates.
"Take me to see around Lingtian. It should be around Lingtian. I'll help you lobby."
The businessman named Tao nodded quickly.
...
Not long after, Chu Chen and his party rushed to the suburbs of Lanyu Town, ten miles away.
The hills here are undulating, with ridges and peaks on the side, making it a beautiful place.
No wonder the spiritual field was born.
Chu Chen sighed in his heart.
"Master Immortal, the spiritual field is on the hillside in front. I don't dare to go there. Look..."
The businessman surnamed Tao stood still and kept his promise.
Chu Chen waved his hand, dismissed everyone in the Tao Mansion, and went alone.
Arriving at the hillside mentioned by the merchant surnamed Tao, Chu Chen transferred the magic power in his body to Yan Yuanjun and used his spiritual eyes to peek at the spiritual changes in the surrounding mountains and rivers.
as expected.
The spiritual energy of the mountains and rivers here is extremely active. Little bits of spiritual light shuttle back and forth between the void legal world and the real world. The looming spiritual energy circulates in the mountains and nourishes all things.
Chu Chen followed the spiritual energy-rich place in the mountains and explored all the way there.
The monsters in the mountains are inspired by the spiritual energy of mountains and rivers, and the essence of the sun and moon, and are born with spiritual intelligence, become spirits and monsters, and are born with extremely keen sensitivity to spiritual energy.
If there is a monster living here, its residence must be in the place where the spiritual energy of the mountains and rivers is strongest.
Follow this train of thought.
Chu Chen groped along and finally stopped in front of a tomb.
"Is this tomb the Lingtian Lingyan?"
Chu Chen was slightly surprised.
There are many yellow talismans scattered around the tomb.
Chu Chen picked up the yellow talisman at random. He knew the talisman.
[Spirit Dividing Talisman] is a talisman specially used for cultivating spiritual fields. It is used to guide the diversion of spiritual energy. It is not very precious. Ordinary wealthy people will buy it for town houses and arrange Feng Shui patterns.
Apparently, the merchant surnamed Tao tried to divert the spiritual energy gathered in front of the tomb and cultivate a spiritual field to cultivate spiritual herbs and elixirs.
However, it ultimately failed.
"This fellow Taoist, I am Chu Chen, the Immortal Official of the Ghost and God Division of Guangping County. Please come and speak to me."
