Chapter six hundred and seventy third sheep difference
Li Xiuyuan previously thought that the Ghost Foreman was just a first-class ghost from Lu Pan at best.
Now it seems that he has stolen Yan Jun's divine power, and his ability cannot be inferred by common sense. He has Dongyue's divine power, and he knows very well how powerful the divine power is.
If he had the Immortal Killing Sword in hand, he would not be afraid of the ghost foreman, but when his sword was fighting with Dongyue, both sides were injured and broke. With half of the divine power and half of the Immortal Killing Sword, he could kill the ghost.
Foreman?
He was not absolutely sure, but he was not afraid at all.
But the monk Kassapa continued: "The ghost foreman in the canal of the capital cannot be ignored, but that evil ghost is just one of them. There is also Wutong Sect in the capital, with followers spread all over the capital, and some high-ranking officials.
There are dignitaries, traffickers and pawns, as well as ghosts, gods and demons.
The Five Immortals are in control of the capital, and their purpose is unknown, but they often cause chaos, and even the imperial court cannot do anything about it."
"I have heard about the Wutong Sect and have had some contact with it, but what about other forces?" Li Xiuyuan said.
Kassapa said: "The statues of Taojun are enshrined in all the temples in the capital. After the death of the emperor, Taojun became a god, and his subordinates also controlled many ghosts and gods. They could also borrow the power of the court, although they had not yet manifested themselves.
But the emperor became a god after his death, which is also against the laws of nature, and the donor must pay attention to it."
"Daojun?" Li Xiuyuan pondered.
I almost forgot that there is such a number one god in the capital.
Emperor Yin gained Taoism, and now he is still the ruler of the Song Dynasty. The Taoist Lord was injured by Zhenwu Shenjun's sword when he fought for divine power in the Heavenly Palace last time, and then plotted against the three immortals of Quzhou to murder him. The cause and effect has been formed, and it is impossible.
resolve.
Although there are Master Tao Tong and Li Taibai on the other side of the Heavenly Palace to check and balance, Tao Lord still has great influence in the mortal world.
Monk Kassapa continued: "The Taoist Lord may be put aside for the time being, but donor, do you know the current national preceptor? The national preceptor's name is Cihang Pudu, which is also the transformation of an evil spirit. It settled in the court and controlled
Chao Gang, several ministers in the capital have been murdered by him, and his behavior has changed.
It is an unfathomable and absolutely extraordinary evil."
"I know about the Imperial Master. He is a thousand-year-old centipede who has attained Taoism. However, he has been practicing for a long time and the Taoism is indeed unpredictable." Li Xiuyuan nodded.
"It would be best if the donor knows something about it. In addition to these major forces in the capital, there are some things that need donor Li's attention." Monk Kasyapa said.
Li Xiuyuan said: "Master, please elaborate."
"There are evil spirits rising and falling in the direction of the harem of the imperial palace, and strange phenomena arise, which seem to be related to the Moon Palace. There is a real dragon suppressed under the imperial city of the capital, there is a beggar immortal wandering in the market, and the power of the Danding Sect in the Taoist sect is also
It was a powerful man, and Guo Jingtao, who was enshrined by the imperial court, was from the Danding sect. I heard that he gave great gifts to today's officials.
When refining elixirs, many of the emperor's relatives often asked for elixirs. Last time, the poor monk heard that Lu Zu appeared somewhere in the capital and didn't know if it was true or not. There was also a red light that occasionally appeared in the temple of Emperor Fumo.
That's right, kill the evil spirits. Recently, many ghosts and gods in the south have fled to the north. The poor monk said a few days ago
I encountered a thousand-year-old demon who had borrowed his corpse to resurrect his soul, and I tried to subjugate him, but he escaped."
"And the reason why the ghost foreman is entrenched in the canal of the capital is because he wants to find the reincarnation of Lord Yama in the capital. I think Lord Yama is in the capital."
"Stop, stop, stop, master, my head hurts a little now."
Li Xiuyuan hurriedly gestured and said helplessly: "There are so many forces crisscrossing each other, how can I understand them clearly in a short while?"
He had previously thought that it was just powerful evil spirits such as the Wutong Sect, the Ghost Foreman, and the National Master.
Now it seems that this is only the more conspicuous among them. Only after asking this monk Kasyapa who has lived in the capital for more than ten years did he understand how chaotic the capital is.
No wonder the imperial master wanted to invite him to go north with the position of governor of Yangzhou.
Monk Kasyapa said: "The poor monk did act too hastily. Donor Li still has time, so he can sort it out slowly. There is no rush."
Li Xiuyuan shook his head and said: "I can't stay in the capital for a long time, and I can't be tied up by these trivial matters. There are still some things in the south that have not calmed down. I should solve the things in the south first and then clean up the scourge in the north. But with some adjustments
The problem at hand should still be solved. As for
I think I can put the rest aside."
If he plunged headlong into the muddy waters of the capital, he might have to spend more than ten years or even longer here.
If you want to sort out these things, you must have a strong enough momentum.
He has obtained the divine power of Dongyue, but his power is not strong enough. The Heavenly Palace has not yet been stabilized, and the south has not yet been organized. If he just relies on himself, he will still be a little weak.
"Does Donor Li have any plans? This poor monk has been practicing for some years and knows some superficial spells and some rough methods of catching and eliminating demons. He can help Donor Li." Monk Kasyapa said.
Li Xiuyuan said: "With these words from the master, I feel a lot more relaxed. However, I don't have any plans at the moment. I just have a simple idea. According to my idea, I want to take down the canal water ghost and the ghost foreman first."
, I want the divine power of Lord Yan in his hands."
After saying that, his eyes flashed and he looked to the west.
That is the direction of the Beijing Canal.
"This poor monk will go to the canal ferry tomorrow, where he will lecture on sutras and teach Dharma, and save the dead water ghosts in vain. He will only wait until Donor Li takes action to reduce some troubles for Donor Li." Monk Kassapa said.
He is also a cheerful person, unlike other monks.
"Thank you for your hard work, Master." Li Xiuyuan immediately saluted.
"Amitabha, that's good. Donor Li is too polite." Monk Kasyapa said.
Li Xiuyuan later had another discussion with the Kasyapa monk, and still had the patience to ask about the situation in the capital. Although the forces in the capital were criss-crossed and it was a mess, he had to find a gap and use a sharp knife to cut through the mess.
.
Later, due to time constraints, I had a vegetarian meal in Xiangguo Temple and then left with my friends.
When leaving, Master Shi Kong saw him off in person. At the end, he suddenly said: "Almsgiver Li, just now this poor monk has been paying attention to the goat next to you. It seems to be just an ordinary goat, but there is something in his eyes.
Reveals human wisdom, and it can also be seen from the previous events that this goat
There are so many unusual places.”
"What do you mean, Master?" Li Xiuyuan looked back and found that the goat he bought in the morning had been following him until now.
Master Shi Kong said: "It is neither evil nor alien, but it still has the wisdom of a human being. Maybe its body is just an illusion, and its soul cannot deceive others. Donor Li knows many magic spells, so the poor monk will not be able to show off his shame."
Li Xiuyuan's eyes moved slightly; "Thank you, Master, for reminding me. I have an idea."
"Amitabha, very good, very good." Master Shikong said with his hands clasped together.
After leaving Xiangguo Temple, he was thinking about what Master Shikong said before on the way.
Is the body just an illusion?
Li Xiuyuan pondered. He had noticed something unusual about the goat around him before, but no one paid attention to it because there were other things going on. Now that he left Xiangguo Temple and things were over, he remembered again that there was such a thing beside him.
A goat follows closely.
"Brother Li, what are you thinking about with that frowning look on your face? Do you suspect that this goat is also a goblin?" Zhang Bangchang said with a smile.
Qian Jun shook his head and said: "How can there be so many goblins? Today I saw the Bodhisattva appear, and no goblin dared to appear. Brother Zhang, don't be suspicious."
Li Xiuyuan said: "I'm just a little concerned about it. I've invited a few brothers to invite you today. It's really a great benefit to be able to visit Xiangguo Temple."
"Hey, what is there to do in Xiangguo Temple? The day after tomorrow is the Lantern Festival, and the capital will be even more lively by then. Is Brother Li interested? I heard that there will be a grand gathering at the Jiaofang the day after tomorrow, as well as poetry gatherings, singing and dancing, Brother Li
You have to come." Zhang Bangchang said.
Li Xiuyuan pondered for a while and said with a smile: "It's natural to have some fun in such a lively festival."
"Then we will visit again the day after tomorrow. It is quite late today, so we will say goodbye first. We will meet again the day after tomorrow. I only hope that Master Shikong's enlightenment will be useful and that the fierce wife in Brother Gao's family can really wake up.
Otherwise, I'm afraid that Brother Gao won't be able to be quiet again after he goes back." Qian Jun said, and then continued
He looked at Gao Fan beside him with some worry.
Gao Fan smiled bitterly and shook his head helplessly.
Several people said goodbye to each other and invited them to continue playing the next day.
Li Xiuyuan did not refuse, because the Lantern Festival itself was not a peaceful day, so he naturally had to move around.
After everyone dispersed, he also returned to the escort agency.
When the guard guarding the gate saw Li Xiuyuan bringing back a sheep, he couldn't help but asked curiously: "I've seen the general. Why did the general bring back a sheep today? Are you going to have extra food tomorrow?"
After saying this, the sheep behind Li Xiuyuan was frightened and bleated repeatedly, seeming to be resisting strongly.
Li Xiuyuan said: "This sheep is not here to eat. If you want to eat it, buy it yourself. Well, it is the Lantern Festival soon. Let Han Meng spend a hundred taels of silver to buy some wine and meat for everyone to have a meal. It can be regarded as a reward.
Fan, I may have to work hard for you next time."
"Hey, thank you very much, young master." The soldier smiled broadly upon hearing this.
Being with the young master, the monthly salary is high, and you can often drink and eat meat, which is much more comfortable than when you were a bodyguard.
soon.
Li Xiuyuan took the goat to the backyard. He looked at the house next door. Because the sun had not set yet, the female ghost Xiao Xie had not come out, so she was probably still sleeping.
"You can understand human speech, right? So now let me see who you are. The appearance of a sheep should be just an illusion and not real."
Suddenly, he turned around and looked at the one-horned goat and said slowly.
There was nervousness in the goat's eyes. Facing Li Xiuyuan at this moment, it couldn't help but take a few steps back, feeling fearful.
Because at this moment, Li Xiuyuan was completely different from the high-spirited scholar and rich man he was during the day. He seemed to be a different person, with an indescribable dignity.
