Master Daoyuan was reciting sutras in front of the Buddha statue and sighed when he heard the thunder outside.
Two city gods in one day.
This is something unprecedented.
No matter how high you are, if you forget your roots, even the City God will fall into the mortal world.
At the same time, Master Daoyuan made a decision in his mind. It was best not to let Junior Brother Daoji come to the temple again. Although Junior Brother Daoji came to the temple with incense and money, he was also bringing trouble.
One of the two city gods was directly wiped out by the law of heaven, and the other was beaten back to an ordinary underworld. This record...
He has to wonder if Junior Brother Daoji is a lone star of evil, and anyone who gets involved with him will not have good results.
"Amitabha, Buddha forgives me for my sins. There is no such thing as a lone star in Buddhism."
Daoyuan reacted and quickly chanted the Buddha's name to apologize to the Buddha statue.
…
…
backyard!
Lin Ye also heard the thunder and saw the thunder shining.
Ye Zhiyuan seemed to feel something. When the thunder disappeared, he sincerely bowed to Lin Ye and said, "Thank you so much for seeking justice for me."
Lin Ye waved his hand, indicating that there was no need to be polite.
Regarding Ye Zhiyuan's matter, to be honest, he took advantage of his merits to go there at first. Later he found out that it might have something to do with Cheng Huang, and it was more out of curiosity. In the end, he was forced to do nothing by Li Cheng Huang.
I just don’t know if there is any merit under such persecution.
Lin Ye was looking forward to it. Ye Zhiyuan bowed to Dao Hai again, and then his figure slowly faded until he finally disappeared.
Huh!
Lin Ye and Dao Hai looked at the location where Ye Zhiyuan's soul had previously been at the same time. There was a bead shining with cyan light floating there.
"Soul-fixing Pearl!"
Lin Ye's eyes lit up, this was a good thing. He didn't expect that Ye Zhiyuan's soul returned to the underworld, and this treasure actually stayed.
The Soul-fixing Pearl is a thing of the Yin Dynasty and cannot be obtained in the upper world. However, the ordinary ghosts of the Yin Dynasty do not have the Soul-fixing Pearl, and even the City God would not be easy to get it.
Li Chenghuang must have paid a heavy price.
The soul-fixing bead fixes a person's soul, making it no different from a Yang person.
But this is only one function of the Soul-fixing Pearl. The Soul-fixing Pearl also has another function, which is to use it in Taoist cultivation.
In Taoist cultivation, what you practice is your soul.
The original soul is the human soul. Through continuous practice, it strengthens its soul. When the soul can come out of the body, it is the so-called night wandering state.
This level is not easy and is full of dangers.
When the soul leaves the body, it is just like a baby. It is very fragile at this time, and if the time is not controlled well, the soul will remain outside the body forever after the time of return.
Therefore, at the beginning of Taoist practice, one must first nourish the soul. Just as the old Taoist gave Lin Ye the long-quiet meditation sutra at the beginning, it is the method of nourishing the soul.
But it's different with the soul-fixing beads. The soul-fixing beads can stabilize the soul and can warm and nourish the soul when placed on the body. The effect is more powerful than ordinary soul-nurturing methods. There will be no danger in night travel.
Lin Ye stepped forward unceremoniously and grabbed the soul-fixing bead in his hand. Just the first time he touched it, he felt a sense of comfort in his heart. This was a reaction transmitted from the soul.
Dao Hai was just surprised and not angry when he saw Lin Ye taking away the soul-fixing beads. The Buddhism practice route is different from that of Taoism and does not require the soul-fixing beads.
…
Shangyang County City God Temple.
When Lin Ye and Dao Hai arrived, the outer wall of the temple was scorched black, which was the power of thunder.
Yang Chenghuang, oh no, it's Yang Yincha now. Seeing Lin Ye and Dao Hai, they had complicated expressions...
It takes two people to succeed, and it takes two people to fail.
"Hey, isn't this Mr. Yang? Why are you still standing guard personally?"
The corner of Yang Jian's mouth twitched. If he could, he really wanted to step forward and give these two big mouths a slap in the face. This mouth is really mean. Isn't it because of you that I became like this? Don't you have some idea in your heart?
Unfortunately, he can't.
The young monk next to him was not weak in strength, but his cultivation was confiscated as a punishment that day, and now he is only of ordinary Yinsha strength.
"Whether it's a human being or a ghost, if you keep scheming and scheming, you will eventually be blamed for it."
Lin Ye sneered and said a few sarcastic words. Seeing Yang Jian not answering, he felt a little bored and stepped into the City God's Temple.
The statue in the City God's Temple was still burning at this moment. It was the flame left after the thunder fell. Lin Ye began to scan the entire City God's Temple. He was here to take advantage of the fire this time.
Without the City God's Temple, many good things would be without owners. Before the next City God appeared, he would come and loot them first.
"Brother, do you see anything good here?"
Lin Ye asked Dao Hai. He had been practicing for a short time and his eyesight was not as good as Dao Hai's.
"Junior brother, this incense burner is pretty good. It must have been passed down to several generations of city gods."
After listening to Dao Hai's words, Lin Ye picked up the incense burner in front of the altar, which contained about one-third of the incense ashes.
"With such a small amount of incense, this City God's Temple must have been built more than a hundred years earlier than our Miaoying Temple. Why is the incense not as strong as our Miaoying Temple?"
Yang Jian, who was at the door, listened to Lin Ye's complaints and really wanted to scold her. Yes, the City God's Temple was built longer than Miaoying Temple, but Qingfeng Temple was in full swing at that time, and people all went to Qingfeng Temple to burn incense and worship the gods.
, not many people come to the Chenghuang Temple.
At that time, the first city god in the temple could not survive the Qingfeng Temple and chose to leave on his own. The second city god finally survived until the decline of Qingfeng Temple. As a result, Miaoying Temple rose again. As a ghost servant of the previous two city gods, then
I witnessed the aggrieved City God.
Now that he has become the City God, Qingfeng Temple has declined, and something happened to Miaoying Temple. He thought it was time to rise up, but he didn't expect that even the position of City God has been deprived of him.
The most important thing is that he can't leave yet. When the heavenly punishment falls, he must accumulate enough merit to escape.
Lin Ye was complaining, but he was not slow in his movements. He directly covered the incense burner and put it in his arms. Then he scraped it vigorously, and really got out a lot of good things.
All packaged.
These gadgets may not be particularly valuable in other worlds, but if brought to modern times, they would definitely be priceless.
"Lao Yang, do you have any objection?"
After going out, Lin Ye looked at Yang Jian who was still standing there and asked with a smile.
"No...no objection. This is no longer my...not my thing."
Yang Jian forced a smile on his face, and he could tell that this boy named Lin had a dark heart. People said that when someone is in trouble, one should not add insult to injury, but this guy wanted to fill up the well.
Already.
"Old Yang, knowing your mistakes can help you improve a lot, so do your best."
Lin Ye patted Yang Jian's shoulder and walked away with the package. Dao Hai looked at it and imitated Lin Ye's actions and patted Yang Jian's shoulder.
But with these three slaps, Yang Jian was almost beaten away.
"Well, do it well..."
"Will do."
Yang Jian responded with a wry smile on his face, thinking MMP, these brothers will definitely stay far away from each other when they see each other in the future.
…
Back at the house, Lin Ye was very satisfied with the harvest. It was time to return to the real world.
This time in another world, he went back to the real world and paused time. Otherwise, many days would have passed in reality, and others would have thought he had lost contact.
"Senior Brother, this time around the City God incident, Junior Brother has some thoughts in his heart. He may need to stay in seclusion for a period of time. I would like to ask Senior Brother to take care of me at home."
"good."
Dao Hai simply agreed.
"Actually, there's nothing special that needs to be taken care of. It's just the scalper at home. This cow has special habits. It needs to be beaten several times every day to feel comfortable. I'll be in seclusion during this period, so I'll ask you, senior brother, to do it for you."
"Dabi Dou?" Dao Hai was a little confused.
"It's just a slap in the face."
"Amitabha, this is the first time I heard that cows have this kind of hobby. Junior brother's cows are really unique."
"Well, that beast is indeed special, so I'll leave it to my senior brother."
After the explanation, Lin Ye returned to his yard and set the idle mode. This time he chose to idle for a month.
Return to reality.
Ten o'clock the next morning.
Lin Ye picked up his phone and found that there were many unread messages, 90% of which were contributed by Zhong Shan.
"Good morning, Mr. Lin!"
【Sun Expression】
"Mr. Lin, are you up?"
"Mr. Lin, please reply to me when you see the message, and I will bring you into a different group of people."
…
In addition, there are also advertising messages sent by other groups of friends.
"Well, I overslept."
Lin Ye replied to the message, and within a minute, there was a reply from the other side.
"Normally, young people of Mr. Lin's age usually get up at this time. I was negligent. I'll create a group for you."
Soon Lin Ye received the group invitation prompt. After entering, he found that in addition to Zhong Shan, there was also a group friend named Nanshan Old Man.
"Mr. Nan, this is Mr. Lin."
Zhong Shan sent a message in the group.
Old Man Nanshan: Fellow Daoist Lin, right? Zhong Shan has already told me about your situation. You can seal ghosts. Fellow Daoist Lin is quite good. Now I will drag you into the organization’s alien group.
Listening to the other party's words, and seeing the name again, Lin Ye seemed to have seen the big boss, and replied very politely: "Thank you."
Old Nanshan added you as a friend.
Agree to pass.
[Old man Nanshan invites you to join a group of heterogeneous people who love each other. Do you agree? 】
Lin Ye clicked Agree and sent a message: [Sorry to trouble you (baring teeth and smiling face)]
The moment he joined the group, Lin Ye's phone kept ringing.
[Tianluo Swordsman: I was lucky yesterday and got three grams of incense ash. Does anyone want it? I can transfer it at a low price]
[Wolf of Lingnan: Ouch, the boss is so lucky, I want it.]
[A lonely old man: Immeasurable Heavenly Lord, Mr. Tianluo, leave me a gram]
[Old man Nanshan: Damn it, I want...I want...the boss can read the private chat, read the private chat!]
Lin Ye looked at the group messages, silently opened Old Nanshan's private chat, and withdrew the message "Sorry to trouble you."
Three grams of incense ashes is enough for me to be the boss, but I brought back almost half a kilo. The boss for relationships turned out to be me.
PS: Thanks to the book friend "Independent Hanqiuli" for the reward!
