Of the five bamboo buildings closest to the square in Qingyangshan Jingshe District, two of them are lit up at the moment.
Jiang An read the Taoist scriptures for a while, feeling that his mind gradually calmed down and all distracting thoughts settled down. Then he took a long breath, put down the book in his hand, and looked at Wu Jie's house from the window.
Their five bamboo buildings belong to the five generations of senior brothers. Among the five, one ascended and two fell. The only ones alive are him and Wu Jie'er.
The status of senior brother is both an honor and a responsibility. As the head of a generation of disciples, he is usually respected and supported by his junior brothers and sisters, and receives special care and cultivation from his elders. At critical moments, he should step forward to take charge.
That is of course a very dangerous thing, so the senior senior brothers of Qingyang Temple have either gone through countless hardships and become peerless masters to face the mighty disasters, or they have fallen in battles again and again and have never been able to survive.
Seated.
Originally, there was supposed to be an owner of a bamboo building here, and that was the 25th generation elder brother Zhenshi Zhenren. But in the last battle for the stars, Zhenshi Zhenshi, the leader of Qingyang Temple, held the
With an injured body, he struggled to fight against the powerful leader of the Inner Demon Sect. Although he drove him away, he himself also died of serious injuries. This is in line with a popular saying among the people: the earthen pot will inevitably break at the edge of the well, and the general will eventually die on the battlefield.
After the death of Master Zhenshi, Master Shaoguang took over the position of head. Whether in public or in private, he made it clear that Jiang An should inherit the position of the next head.
But Shogan himself disagrees. His origin is different from others. Not only is he not a human race, he is not even a monster, but a ghost zombie. Although his fellow disciples do not mind, if the head of Qingyang Temple is replaced by a zombie
What will the various sects in the world think of you? What will the people of the right way think?
According to Jiang An's idea, the position of head should be succeeded by his junior brother Zhang Long, and he should concentrate on assisting him.
However, Master Shaoguang refused to give in on this issue. He even quarreled with the head of Baidi Geyan who came to persuade him to protect Jiang'an's inheritance rights.
Jiang'an knew that Master Shaoguang didn't really appreciate him very much, but for the leader, the order of Qingyang Temple should be maintained. No matter how high the price was, he would never allow anyone to persecute Qingyang for any reason.
Watch the disciples and deprive them of their legitimate rights.
As the twenty-sixth generation senior brother, he has been working diligently for hundreds of years and has never made any mistakes. Jiang An should have the highest priority among his fellow senior brothers. Even though Master Shaoguang doesn't like him, even though many people are right about him.
He was so afraid that even though many righteous people would ridicule Qingyang Guan for this, they could not deprive him of his rights.
Even if Jiang An himself wanted to refuse, in the opinion of Master Shaoguang, Jiang An was obviously forced by the situation to give up his inheritance rights. As a contemporary leader, he should withstand the temptations from all sides for his disciples.
pressure and resolutely safeguard their legitimate interests
This problem has made Jiang An restless, until today, he finally saw a glimmer of hope.
Just as Patriarch Zhang said, if after Grandmaster Taishang ascends, the 27th generation senior brother Wu Jie catches up and surpasses all the 26th generation disciples in cultivation, then he will skip one term and directly inherit the master.
The door position is also completely feasible.
This approach cannot be said to be very good, but at least it can avoid the trouble caused by Jiang'an's succession. It is a better choice for Qingyang Guan, for the righteous way of the world, and even for Jiang'an himself.
But there is another problem... for Wu Jie, right?
Jiang An stared at the flickering firelight in Wu Jie's bamboo building and fell into deep thought.
Of course Wu Jie didn't know that he was somehow involved in the succession of the head of Qingyang Temple. Although he should indeed become the head, it was supposed to be hundreds of years later when the twenty-fourth generation of patriarchs
What happens after ascension.
Therefore, he is concentrating on cultivation at the moment and stabilizing his Yuan Condensation cultivation.
Taking a deep breath, he transformed his mana into a steady stream of firepower, and then slowly exhaled it.
A crimson flame surrounded him, slowly condensed, and turned into a young man in red with the same figure and appearance as him, but with red eyebrows and red hair, looking at him calmly.
This is his flame incarnation. Although it is not as capable of spiritual differentiation as in the legend, just like one person turning into two people, it also possesses many wonderful magical powers, which is very convenient.
Seeing himself transformed into flames so close, Wu Jie couldn't help but think of some novels he had read in his previous life. He couldn't help but stand up with a smile and nod to the flame incarnation.
"I've met Taoist friends."
But the flame incarnation didn't respond at all, and still stood there silently, motionless.
This is natural. He looks like a person, but in fact he is just a condensed flame. The intelligent core in it is just some relatively simple instructions. Although he can go into battle to kill enemies and can also cast many fire spells, he wants to
It's completely impossible to get him to talk like a normal person
...If he could really answer Wu Jie fluently according to his own will, then Wu Jie would be shocked.
"Hey, I have a good idea," Du Ruo suddenly said happily, "Old Si, can you use flames to make me a body?"
"Of course you can, but what's the point?" Wu Jie was stunned and asked, "Since you absorbed enough hellfire in the netherworld, you have been able to appear during the day. Although you cannot use all kinds of magical powers under the sun,
Just like a mortal; but at least it won't be destroyed by the sun... Isn't this enough?"
"There are always a lot of inconveniences in a ghost body, and my soul state cannot be resurrected, so I have to find a ghost-like body. I think this flame incarnation is very suitable," Du Ruo said excitedly, "Besides, I also
You can hide in the Fire Soldiers you created and help you command when necessary, or you can jump out from a group of Fire Soldiers to sneak attack the enemy...it's very convenient no matter how you look at it."
"...If you can't even defeat the Fire Department's Heavenly Soldiers, and you go up to attack us...wouldn't that mean you're going to die? It's better to let the Fire Department's Heavenly Soldiers hold on, and let's run away quickly."
"You really have no idea at all." Du Ruo's idea was ruthlessly destroyed by Wu Jie, and he suddenly became a little angry, "Anyway, make me a flame incarnation quickly."
Seeing how determined she was, Wu Jie gathered a lot of flames and created such an incarnation of flames for her.
In order to facilitate the possession of Du Ruo, the core of this flame incarnation is the incense of faith in the human world. The incense of faith needs to be refined based on merit. Fortunately, Wu Jie actually has some incense in the human world. Wu Jie has been helping the world for decades.
help
He helped those in need, slayed demons, and protected the peace of Zhaoyang County; he also made outstanding contributions in medicine and agriculture. Today, people in Zhaoyang County and even in many places in the Great Chu Kingdom are enshrining his tablets to pay tribute to him.
He was praying for blessing.
Wu Jie has been collecting these incense of faith, but never tried to absorb the merits and wishes contained in them. Interests and responsibilities are always linked. If he absorbs the merits and wishes of these incense of faith, he must take responsibility.
, to help those praying believers fulfill their wishes, or at least provide them with some spiritual comfort.
This is the path of the Shinto, not the Immortal. Wu Jie never intended to become a god, so he naturally stayed away from it.
But if you use these incense to shape Du Ruo's body, there will be no problem. Du Ruo usually lives in the world of heavenly books. The world of heavenly books is isolated from all realms, and the power of cause and effect will not fall on her, so there is no need to worry.
When the flame that was more golden than red took shape, Du Ruo rushed out impatiently and pounced on it.
As soon as the light flashed, the originally dull eyes of the Flame Incarnation suddenly showed agility. She twisted her neck and shook her hands and feet. She was a little uncomfortable at first, but soon she completely controlled the body and was happy.
Running around the house.
"Haha, with a body like this, I can fight with peace of mind and don't have to worry about holding you back anymore."
Only then did Wu Jie realize what she was thinking and couldn't help but smile.
But at this time, the atmosphere killer Du Xin said in his usual calm tone without any inflection: "He is already a master of Yuan Condensation, and you are not even at the level of Gang Refining. I think if you get involved in his battle,
It can still only hold us back.”
Du Ruo was stunned for a moment, and then he remembered the difference in strength between them, and his excitement disappeared.
Before Wu Jie had time to persuade her, she had returned to the world of the Book of Heaven with the incarnation of the true flame. Then she threw the incarnation aside, and the ghost body quickly rushed into her black earth well, still shouting "I want to
Practice harder”
Wu Jie hesitated for a moment, but still didn't say anything.
In his opinion, Du Ruo is almost the most diligent cultivator in the world, but she has not yet broken through to the realm of refining... This is definitely not a problem with her cultivation, but a problem with her state of mind.
But... how to adjust the state of mind during the practice of ghosts and ghosts?
Even Jasmine, the well-informed Grand Master of the Demonic Way, has no clue about this.
Therefore, Du Ruo can only immerse himself in cultivation for the time being and wait for the opportunity to make a breakthrough.
...Wu Jie himself also needs to immerse himself in cultivation.
After breaking through to the realm of condensation, many spells and supernatural powers can be practiced, and many lessons missed in the past must be made up one by one.
For him, there are two most important things now.
The first is to warm and nourish the Heaven and Earth Furnace that has just been successfully refined. Only when the Yuanling inside is completely and stably formed can this magic weapon be considered truly usable.
The second thing is to go back and practice the four major spiritual techniques of the Fire Department Zhengfa one by one. In fact, these four spiritual techniques originally need to reach the realm of condensation to meet the basic requirements. Wu Jie used to rely on
Only with the support of the Heavenly Book World can we display them in advance. But that is not the right way after all... If you want to truly master the essence of the four spiritual techniques, you still have to practice them one by one according to the traditional method and rely entirely on your own cultivation.
become
He calmed down, took a deep breath, sat down cross-legged, and began to concentrate on practicing.
