Chapter four hundred and seventeen three-inch golden body
Seeing the Shoushan mountain god whose body exploded and incense filled the air, Li Xiuyuan did not feel the joy of killing a powerful enemy.
Because these two mountain gods are not purely evil gods, but mountain gods who are loyal to the Song Dynasty and just implement their own ideals of loyalty to the country. They are granted the title by the imperial court and their duty is to guard the ghosts and gods from the north and south who try to enter the capital.
Perhaps for today's imperial court, the purpose of erecting these two mountain god statues is just so that their palaces and palaces will not be disturbed by ghosts and gods, and they can freely visit Wanshou Mountain and Genyue Mountain.
But for these two mountain gods, a piece of imperial edict has become their lifelong mission.
Be loyal and have no regrets.
It's just that the decline of the imperial court and the rise of rebellion today forced Li Xiuyuan to send someone to Beijing.
But this time, it brought disaster to these two mountain gods.
Their disaster did not come from their own evil deeds, but from the incompetence and corruption of the imperial court.
The building is about to collapse. Even if some people want to save the building from collapse, they are unable to turn back.
Therefore, the fault is not with these two ghosts and gods, but with the world.
Li Xiuyuan looked at the huge mountain-suppressing sword still standing on the ground. The golden seal on it was still shining with a faint golden light, which seemed to remind him that the fate of the Song Dynasty was still there and had not died out yet.
I have the power to keep this mountain-suppressing sword alive in the world and not perish.
"Congratulations, young master, for slaying these two mountain gods in one fell swoop. These two mountain gods were ignorant and dared to attack human saints. This time they have received their retribution."
The sword-wielding ghost king flew over with a somewhat flattering smile, feeling happy.
He was avenged for being beheaded by these two mountain gods for six hundred years.
Li Xiuyuan didn't say anything, and just glanced at him lightly: "Ma Dong, where is Niu Er's soul? Bring them two to see me. Now that the two mountain gods are gone, you can step into the capital."
"Yes, yes, yes, the little devil will go find their souls right now."
The sword-wielding ghost king responded hurriedly and immediately turned around to leave.
Suddenly, he stopped again and said with some hesitation: "My lord, my lord, you see, the kid was injured before, which damaged his Taoism for hundreds of years. Now that the two mountain gods are dead, their remaining incense is still there."
, can you give the kid a little? So that the kid can recover a little from his injuries, so that he can serve the young master better."
It turned out that he was coveting the incense left by the two mountain gods.
"Have you practiced Taoism for hundreds of years?" Li Xiuyuan asked.
The sword-wielding ghost king said: "About six hundred years of Taoism."
"Then take back your 600-year-old Taoist incense. Just a little more is necessary. Incense is not that easy to get. If you take it, you will inherit the cause and effect of this period. When my uncle took the incense of Guo Beicheng God,
He replaced Guo Bei City God and became the next City God." Li Xiuyuan said.
The sword-wielding ghost king immediately said, "The little ghost is also willing to inherit this cause and effect."
"You? You can't remember the cause and effect. You don't have enough perseverance, and you have done a lot of evil. There will be many disasters in the future. What you want to do is go to the underworld to do things and accumulate merit." Li Xiuyuan said.
When the sword-wielding ghost king heard this, he immediately stopped coveting the incense left by these two mountain gods.
"Go back quickly and bring back the souls of Ma Dong and Niu Er as soon as possible. My soul cannot stay out of the body forever. I have to go back before dawn." Li Xiuyuan said.
"Yes, kid, I obey."
The sword-wielding ghost king opened his mouth and inhaled the incense of six hundred years of Taoism into his belly. His body suddenly swelled as if he was full.
Although this incense is as low as 600 years of Taoism, he was injured. If the recovery time is included, 600 years of Taoism can only return to 300 years of Taoism.
But this is already a good result.
Immediately, the evil wind howled, and the sword-wielding ghost king quickly turned into several evil winds and floated around.
Li Xiuyuan looked at the huge mountain-suppressing sword standing in front of him. He felt that this thing was extraordinary and might be useful in the future, so he had the idea of taking it. He flew over and reached out to hold it to pull it out.
However, the sword seemed to have taken root and stood motionless on the hill.
"Sure enough, only the God of Longevity Mountain can wield this sword. Others cannot take it away. The golden seal and seal on it represent the imperial court. I am not a ghost or god granted by the imperial court. It is absolutely impossible to take the sword."
After Li Xiuyuan tried to no avail, he roughly understood the reason.
It's just that this sword is not a real thing, it is just a condensed breath. If it does not return to the sword body where the breath is stored, it will collapse in a short time.
Buzz~!
However, at this moment, the Zhenshan Sword suddenly shook, and a sword energy suddenly flew out from above, slashing towards a dark wind in mid-air.
"Ah~!"
A scream rang out, and at some point a carriage flew from the direction of the capital. Four little ghosts lifted it up and placed a golden statue of Tathagata Buddha on the carriage.
But now, one of the imps has been cut into two pieces by the sword energy of Zhenshan Sword and died on the spot.
The sedan was unstable and almost tipped over.
However, the golden statue of Tathagata Buddha above shone with golden light, and a mage who looked like a monk but not a monk, a Taoist but not a Taoist sat on it with a kind-hearted look, clasped his hands and bowed to Li Xiuyuan.
"Meet the saint on earth."
The mage smiled and saluted him: "I saw a divine light coming out of this place before, so I came to take a look out of curiosity, but I saw a human saint here to kill Shoushan and Genyue. How can the majesty of the saint be the same as the two gods?
If the mountain gods can offend, it is natural for the two mountain gods to be killed."
"Golden Body Dharma Image? Bring a three-inch golden body to see me. The Master is very cautious." Li Xiuyuan said calmly with his eyes flashing.
The three-inch golden body was too small to be placed on the altar table at home. The fact that it was being carried by four little ghosts at this moment proved that the mage was afraid of him.
This kind of person who cultivates the golden body and Dharma is the most difficult and easiest to kill.
The reason why it is most difficult to kill is that if the golden body is immortal, it will not die. However, because all the Taoist practices are in the golden body, once the temple is demolished and the statue is destroyed, the Taoist practices will instantly fall.
That Aunt Hua is the best example.
Her nine-foot-long Thousand-Armed Avalokitesvara statue and the six-foot-long Avalokitesvara Avalokitesvara statue were beheaded one after another. Although they survived, their Taoism has probably fallen to a level that is worse than that of the Ghost King. It is impossible for them to still dare to threaten to destroy the heavens.
The heroic spirit of Thunder Lord.
"I don't dare offend the majesty of the saint. How dare I come here in person? I'm afraid it will harm the peace." The mage said.
Li Xiuyuan said: "I don't know you, Master. I don't know which fairy mountain blessed place Master practiced in, and which Taoist temple or temple he settled in?"
This Dharma Master is not a Taoist, a monk, or a god.
Those who are not serious practitioners of the Eight Sutras or those who practice Buddhism, but usually those who do not follow a rigorous path of practice, most of them are not upright.
It is also said that the Golden Body Dharma is a very partial practice method, and those who practice it are neither good nor evil.
"I am the protector of the country in the imperial palace of the capital. I practice in the Cihang Hall outside the capital. My dharma name is Cihang Pudu." The mage saluted with a smile.
Cihang Pudu?
Li Xiuyuan's eyelids twitched, and he subconsciously raised the immortal sword.
But then he immediately let it go.
The Cihang Pudu in front of him is just a three-inch golden body. Killing Wuxin will also affect his next actions, because after all, he is the mage of the dynasty. If he stirs up trouble and uses the power of the court to deal with him, he will
Isn't it a big trouble?
"It turns out that Master's Dharma name is Cihang Pudu. Since he has a heart of compassion and the intention to save all living beings, why did he learn the method of golden body and Dharma? This method wastes people and money and is not the right method." Li Xiuyuan said.
Cihang Pudu smiled and said: "There is neither good nor evil in the world. There is law and there is a heart. Where the heart is, the law is directed. I have the idea of saving all people. Regardless of whether the law is the right way or the wrong way, it is all good.
Just like the method of a saint in the world to kill immortals, if this method falls into the hands of evil people, the people will be robbed and the gods will be killed. But in the hands of a saint in the world, it can kill evil spirits and purify the world. Doesn't this represent the determination of the saint in the world?
What?"
"Master's speech." Li Xiuyuan nodded.
The goblin who can become the protector of the country does have extraordinary insights, and is not like an ordinary goblin.
"Today I came to visit the saint in the world just to make a good relationship. Li Liangjin rebelled in the south, and the saint wanted to raise an army to quell the rebellion. This is a blessing for the people. However, there are many shackles in the government and the public, and constant intrigues. It is afraid that the peace of the saint in the world will be affected.
The chaos has had an impact. Although I am an outsider, I still have the heart to save the country and save lives."
"Master, you want to help me?" Li Xiuyuan asked in surprise.
"Of course, the common people are suffering. As the protector of the country, I can't just sit back and do nothing. Please ask the saint to calm down the chaos. I will help you in the court. As long as the saint's good news reaches the capital, I will ask your majesty for your merits.
, the position of governor of Yangzhou is still vacant, and when the time comes, I will ask the saints on earth to submit to it."
Cihang Pudu said.
Yangzhou governor?
This Cihang Pudu really dared to speak.
The governor of Yangzhou, who was in charge of the civil affairs and military preparations of Yangzhou, could be said to be a truly powerful minister.
But what kind of wooing and flattering is this?
Li Xiuyuan's eyes flickered, a little confused about Cihang Pudu's thoughts.
"Since the Master is willing to help, I would like to thank you here in advance." No matter what, he still returned the gift and said politely.
Although I don't know whether Cihang Pudu is good or evil, or what his plans are, Li Xiuyuan still has to hold on to the position of Yangzhou governor.
The status of a scholar is too low, and his own constraints are too great, which is not conducive to his actions.
"How can this be considered help? This is just my humble contribution to the country and the people. In other places, I have to rely on you, a saint on earth." Cihang Pudu said politely.
After a long conversation, Cihang Pudu looked kind and kind-hearted from beginning to end, with no evil look at all.
This kind of compassion does not seem to be fake.
At least Li Xiuyuan couldn't see any flaws.
After chatting with each other for a while, Cihang Pudu said goodbye, and three little ghosts carried the three-inch golden body towards the capital.
"Li Linfu said that great treachery is like loyalty, great loyalty is like treachery, great good is like evil, great evil is like goodness. Loyalty and treachery, good and evil cannot be judged by my inner impressions, but by things." Li Xiuyuan watched Cihang Pudu leave.
