Suddenly a golden light came down, and Lin Xiaodong, Huang Haiping, Zhao Qingxia, and Shen Xunfang all appeared from it.
Everyone in the mountain field was so frightened that they shouted at the top of their lungs: "Ghost! Ghost!"
However, the three ladies cried with joy: "Mom, husband, I am not a ghost, it was Taoist Lin and Queen Jin Qiong who mercifully brought the three of us back to life!"
Everyone gathered around and couldn't believe it: "Really?"
Huang Haiping nodded, looked at Lin Xiaodong, and said, "Taoist Master Lin took us to heaven and met Empress Jin Qiong in the Immortal Palace."
"Empress Jin Qiong was compassionate and took three magnolia flowers from Tianchi to make our bodies. We are alive again!"
"Really?
Thank you, Taoist Master Lin, and thank you, Empress Jin Qiong!"
The three ladies' families were filled with gratitude to Lin Xiaodong and bowed their heads.
Lin Xiaodong helped the person up and said, "Don't thank me. If you want to thank me, just thank Empress Jin Qiong. If the empress has something to say, don't forget it."
Huang Haiping and others then told what Empress Jin Qiong wanted them to worship. Everyone was so excited that they looked up and bowed: "Thank you, Empress!"
Wen Yunmei walked up to Lin Xiaodong and asked, "Empress Jin Qiong?"
Lin Xiaodong said: "I went to the Deep Sea Dragon Palace. The Dragon King said that the bones were rotten and there was nothing he could do. He asked me to go to the sky and ask the Immortal Kongju."
Wen Yunmei was shocked and said: "You, can you go to heaven?"
The ability to escape and ride on the clouds is a common skill for Taoists, but the place where the Immortal Kongju lives is extremely high, and Taoists on earth cannot fly up there.
Lin Xiaodong said: "I had a misunderstanding with a Kongju immortal, Empress Jin Qiong. This empress has great magical power, compassion and integrity."
"I went to visit them. The empress only said that she wanted portraits of the three of them to be worshiped, so she took three white magnolias and reshaped their bodies."
Wen Yunmei said in disbelief: "Kongju Immortal, with his magical power, can bring the dead back to life, it's really amazing!"
Wen Songcheng said happily: "Taoist Master Lin has done another good deed today!"
Gao Lixing also said: "It's a joy to congratulate the three newlyweds on their reunion!"
Guo Zhize organized: "Today is a big celebration for the three families. Why not have a banquet together to celebrate the reunion of the newlyweds, and also to thank Taoist Lin and Mr. Wen!"
Everyone in the family agreed that Lin Xiaodong couldn't resist Lin Xiaodong's hospitality. They happily went to Ding Tai Zhen Restaurant and set up three tables.
Wen Songcheng, Lin Xiaodong, Gao Lixing, Guo Zhize, and Wen Yunmei were at one table, the three couples were at one table, and the rest of the group were at another table.
Wen Songcheng raised a cup first and said: "Today the evil path of Bai Yue Tower in Shiling Mountain was eradicated, and the three newlyweds reunited. This is the fourth great joy and deserves to be celebrated. Come, drink this cup with me!"
Everyone had a drink together, and Wen Songcheng toasted to Lin Xiaodong again: "Thanks to Master Lin for coming, everyone is happy. If our government investigates on its own, even if the murderer can be brought to justice, the three brides will not be saved."
Lin Xiaodong raised his glass and said: "Eradicating evil and evil and accumulating virtue and doing good are the duties of our Taoist sect. There is no need to be polite, Mr. Wen."
Gao Lixing and Guo Zhize also brought up a toast to Wen Songcheng, Lin Xiaodong and Wen Yunmei: "It's a big thank you to the adults for coming and making the place quiet."
Huang Haiping, Zhao Qingxia, and Shen Xunfang also came to this table and toasted to Lin Xiaodong: "Thank you, Taoist Lin, for saving your life!"
Lin Xiaodong drank the cup and said, "Don't thank me, you three. On weekdays, you should spread the word about Empress Jin Qiong's merits."
All three brides kept this in mind.
After drinking till late at night, Lin Xiaodong said goodbye the next morning.
Wen Songcheng and Wen Yunmei came to see it off. Lin Xiaodong handed the three-legged tripod to Wen Songcheng and said: "This tripod contains the two souls of Huang Zizhen and Xie Tongfu. I also ask Mr. Wen to hand this thing to Mr. Gao."
Wen Songcheng was puzzled: "Why should it be given to County Magistrate Gao?"
Lin Xiaodong said: "The White Moon Tower in Shiling Mountain is under the management of Fuyang County, so naturally this thing should be handed over to Mr. Gao for disposal.
As for when these two people can escape, it depends on their own destiny."
Wen Songcheng reached out to take it and nodded.
Wen Yun's eyebrows were full of affection: "Taoist Master Lin, take care."
Lin Xiaodong bowed and walked away in the clouds.
Wen Songcheng handed the tripod to Gao Lixing and was sent to the county government warehouse to be locked up and never see the light of day.
Huang Zizhen and Xie Tongfu are as Lin Xiaodong said, every night at midnight, the three souls meet again, and the human soul will suffer the same pain as the heavenly soul and the earthly soul, and life will be worse than death.
Xie Tongfu brutally killed three brides and was so heartbroken that Gao Lixing sentenced him to death and ordered him to be executed after Qiu.
Huang Zizhen connived and instigated, and he also practiced evil arts, fought against the government, and was executed for the same crime as Xie Tongfu.
Su Hanlin, Huang Yuanxun, Chen Yongfu, and Cheng Jiantong were sentenced to ten years in prison, and the other disciples were also sentenced to one to three years.
Half a year later, in late autumn, Huang Zizhen and Xie Tongfu tried to kill him, but the souls of heaven and earth were still in the tripod and could not be released after death.
The two human souls can only stay outside the tripod and still endure torture every day.
It was not until three years later that the county government warehouse was flooded. When taking inventory of the items, the tripod rolled down and threw out Xie Tongfu's two souls of heaven and earth. Only then was Xie Tongfu reincarnated. He killed three people and was punished in the tripod for three years.
.
Huang Zizhen continued to be punished until thirty years later when the three-legged tripod was rusted and the two souls of heaven and earth escaped from it, and the human soul had to be reincarnated.
Because he had been raising a kid for thirty years, he was punished in a tripod and tortured for thirty years. This was exactly the retribution of karma, and he was not happy at all.
The three brides, according to Empress Jin Qiong's words, went to Qingfeng Temple in Zhongmin Mountain, Xinnan Road.
This place is the dojo of Empress Jin Qiong in the human world, and her statue is enshrined there. The three ladies invited her back to their home and took care of her.
As a result, the three families had sufficient food and clothing, their homes were stable, and their children and grandchildren were full. All three died at an advanced age. After their death, they went to Zhouluodong and became empresses and virgins.
As a result, Empress Jin Qiong was widely spread in Fuyang County and had many believers. The incident of Lin Xiaodong and Empress Jin Qiong rescuing Sanniangzi became a legend.
After Yang Xuelan took over the Taoist affairs in the middle part of Congling, Congling finally ushered in a rare peace and stability, except for the west side.
The western sect of Congling lost the protection of Nanyangzi and Kongshanzi, cut off from the central Taoist sect, and lost Jiang Lanfang. Now its strength is not as good as before.
If you fall behind, you will be bullied. To the west of Congling, it borders Ansan Road to the south and Lan Chang Road to the north.
The intersection between Anshan Road and Shannan Road is long, and the intersection between Yaodi Road is short, and both are high mountains, so they have always been in peace.
But Lan Changdao has always been eyeing Congling.
Lanchang Road is located in the central and western part of Dali Kingdom, bordering Anshan Road to the south and Yaodi Road to the east.
Because it is located inland and has a high altitude, Lanchangdao has a cold and dry climate, and the territory is dominated by snow-capped mountains and wilderness.
This has resulted in the sparse vegetation on Lanchang Road and the lack of Taoist resources. Naturally, it is greedy for the lush mountains and old forests.
Lan Chang Road actually borders Congling and the south of Yao Di Road at the same time, but even if Tai Xuanzi died, the Qingfeng Palace faction was still strong.
In comparison, only the western part of Congling, where Kong Youzi was struggling to support, was much easier to handle.
