The Red Lotus Sect was said by the imperial court to be a sinister force of the previous dynasty, but the exact details were not shared by others.
But in Dali, the Red Lotus Sect is a cult.
After having a good conversation with Murong Wanfeng, Jiang Wuji seemed to have heard a bloody story.
The imperial court believed that the great epidemic in Leping County was caused by the demons of the Red Lotus Sect, because many Red Lotus believers had recently appeared in Leping County.
The things these believers do fall into two extremes.
On the one hand, they are taking advantage of the great epidemic to show kindness to the people, preach their doctrines, and attract people to join the Red Lotus Sect.
On the other side, people take advantage of the chaos to kill people, steal money, or kill innocent people indiscriminately for some kind of sorcery!
Among them, animal makers and carcass makers account for the majority, with the former making animals and the latter refining corpses.
Here comes the most bloody part.
Murong Wanfeng inquired about the traces of a livestock maker, so she led her troops out of the city to hunt for him. However, she did not expect that the matter was more complicated and dangerous than she thought.
In the end, all the people accompanying her died. While escaping, she lost her footing and fell into a dry well, breaking her leg.
Then he met Jiang Wuji.
It is also worth mentioning that the county governor did not know about this.
In Jiang Wuji's opinion, Murong Wanfeng was mentally retarded and could not survive three episodes of the TV series.
He was so arrogant despite his lack of strength that he dared to go out of the city to chase down a beast maker before he understood the specific situation.
Isn’t it good to be a vase? Do you have to do this?
I really answered those four words, big-hearted and brainless!
…
Everyone sat together and ate solid food.
"Little Taoist Master, I estimate that we will be able to reach Lecheng in about three days." Cao Li said.
You can reach Lecheng in three days, but the note left by Gou Wa said that you would pick up the pills in five days.
Is it possible that I dare to take action in Lecheng? Or, he is already waiting for me in Lecheng...
"Yeah." Jiang Wuji responded casually, but accidentally discovered that Cao Li even gnawed the cake neatly, almost in a straight line.
At this time, Murong Wanfeng, who had occupied the master's carriage, opened the curtain and asked, "Aren't you going to hunt down the beast-creator?"
Jiang Wuji ignored it and was even thinking about how to kill Murong Wanfeng.
Murong Wanfeng has given in now. Whether she keeps her word or not is one thing, but the gap between the two is definitely forged.
What if Murong Wanfeng bites me back after arriving in Lecheng?
I just don’t know what the little-footed female corpse is for, so I can’t stop myself from killing her.
At this time, Chief Qiu gritted his teeth and said, "Miss Murong, we... don't need to chase her, right?"
"It's not necessary? What do you mean it's not necessary?"
"The demons of the Red Lotus Sect have harmed the people and have been trying to shake the fate of our country, Da Li! Now there are finally traces of the demons, why not kill them?" Murong Wanfeng said sternly.
"She is sick, ignore her." Jiang Wuji patted Master Qiu on the shoulder.
"You..." Murong Wanfeng bit his lips and changed his words.
"This Taoist priest, can you lend me a moment to speak?"
Jiang Wuji: "I won't borrow it."
Murong Wanfeng, who had never been treated like this before, was so angry that he gritted his teeth again and his chest heaved.
At this time, Jiang Wuji suddenly thought of something, so he looked at Murong Wanfeng and asked: "Since you are the daughter of the county guard, you must know many Taoist priests of Tiandao Temple, right?"
Murong Wanfeng frowned slightly and said: "That's natural, what? You idiot... are you also a Tiandao Temple?"
"Miss Murong doesn't know something, the little Taoist is..."
"Shut up!"
Interrupting Master Qiu, Jiang Wuji continued: "Then have you met my master, Qing Xuanzi?"
"Taoist Qingxuanzi is your master?!" Murong Wanfeng looked shocked.
Jiang Wuji took off his copper coin sword and said, "Do you recognize this copper coin sword?"
Murong Wanfeng looked at the copper coin sword in Jiang Wuji's hand and said, "Is this the sword of Taoist Qingxuanzi?"
"Do you recognize it?"
"can not recognize."
"..."
Just when Jiang Wuji wanted to curse, Murong Wanfeng said: "I once heard that Taoist Master Qingxuanzi also left the mountain. It seems...it seems that he went to your Yong'an County!"
"But, I remember that Taoist Master Qingxuanzi never accepted any disciples."
Jiang Wuji said: "Perhaps my master has not mentioned it to anyone."
Murong Wanfeng nodded without comment.
Jiang Wuji thought for a while, and then said with a slightly complaining tone: "It's true that my master left when I was condensing Qi Hai, saying that he would go back to the temple first, and let me catch up with him afterwards.
"
"As a result, I encountered a lot of strange things along the way, but Master's shadow was not seen at all."
"How can you talk about your master like that?"
Murong Wanfeng said displeasedly: "Taoist Master Qingxuanzi is a kind man. Since he took the first step, he must have something important to deal with. Maybe it is to solve the plague somewhere. As a disciple of Taoist Priest, you are not inconsiderate. On the contrary,
Complain?”
There really is Qingxuanzi in Tiandao Temple.
Qing Xuanzi has been to Yong'an County.
Qing Xuanzi is a kind man...
Jiang Wuji sorted out three pieces of information, but they seemed to be of little use. After all, they were no different from the existing clues. They were just more certain.
So Jiang Wuji shrugged and said, "I just said it casually. Don't take it seriously, girl. I'm not the kind of rebellious person. There's just one thing I can't figure out."
"What? Tell me about it?" Murong Wanfeng asked.
Jiang Wuji briefly talked about what happened in Shangfeng Village, and there were two outstanding points.
An animal-breeding incident occurred in Shangfeng Village.
Qingxuanzi asked the village chief's son to eat his heart.
"Impossible, absolutely impossible! This must have been done by the demons of the Red Lotus Sect! They are the best at framing people and deceiving people!" Murong Wanfeng said with absolute certainty.
"On the contrary, the time you mentioned about making an animal is different from the time when I chased and killed the demon. It should not be the same person."
Murong Wanfeng took a deep breath and frowned: "It seems that there are still many demons lurking in Leping County, and I, I... As the daughter of the county guard, I can only watch the people suffer from the miasma.
I can’t do anything to help with the evil caused by monsters! I...I’m so useless!”
"If I had the cultivation level of Taoist Master Qingxuanzi, how could I be so useless..."
"Young lady, do you know about my master's cultivation level?" Jiang Wuji asked.
Murong Wanfeng: "You don't know?"
"Master didn't mention it to me, and of course, I never asked him about it," Jiang Wuji said.
Murong Wanfeng pursed his red lips and said hesitantly: "I heard this incident by chance when I was offering incense in Tiandao Temple."
"Taoist Priest Qingxuanzi has broken through the sixth-grade Nascent Soul and entered the fifth-grade realm of leaving the body."
Ninth-level Qi refining, eighth-level divine refining, seventh-level golden elixir, sixth-level Nascent Soul, fifth-level out-of-body experience... Jiang Wuji silently wrote it down.
"Hiss - fifth grade! Taoist priest Qingxuanzi is actually fifth grade! There are only a handful of us in Leping County who are in fifth grade!" Cao Li's face turned red with excitement.
Murong Wanfeng's beautiful eyes twinkled and he murmured: "That's natural. I heard that if the fifth level of Taoism leaves the body, even if the physical body is completely destroyed, the soul will not be destroyed, and it will not even enter reincarnation."
Haha, so what if the soul is immortal, why not be asked by Mi Po...
Wait! Not entering reincarnation? What does not enter reincarnation?! Jiang Wuji’s pupils shrank!
Cao Li said with envy: "As expected of a Taoist sect. A person with the fifth rank can be immortal. The martial artist is really vulgar."
Impossible, impossible. If you want to put it this way, maybe Zhang Fugui is not dead yet?
How can this be!
Just when Jiang Wuji's heart was filled with turmoil, Murong Wanfeng smiled and said: "Actually, it's not that exaggerated. I once heard my father say that if a Taoist sect leaves the body, if you want to be immortal, you must first achieve a certain goal.
condition."
"What conditions?" Jiang Wuji quickly asked, no longer caring whether it would arouse suspicion.
"you do not know?"
"Appreciate further details."
Murong Wanfeng looked at Jiang Wuji and said, "It's the art of dismembering corpses."
Jiang Wuji: "Dismember the corpse..."
Murong Wanfeng: "Yes, it probably means to let others kill him first, and then his soul can leave his body, making him truly immortal and not entering reincarnation, but I don't know how exactly.
I have never heard of any Taoist priest actually succeeding."
"But I heard from my father that Taoist practitioners seeking immortality believe that there are three types of immortals. The first two are righteous ones, namely heavenly immortals and earthly immortals."
"Although the third type is a side sect, it is also an immortal."
"The so-called person who dismembers corpses is someone who will ascend to immortality, that is..."
