Chapter seven hundred and eighty third saint nameless
Within the ruined temple, the white light disappeared, the ghosts and gods melted away, and everything returned to calm again.
"Master Dao is dead?"
Third Sister Hu carefully poked her head out and asked.
"No, it's just to destroy his divine body. It's difficult to kill such a fragrant and enlightened ghost and god completely. There are too many Taoist temples in the world. After all, they were built by imperial decree. There are endless temples, and the Taoist Lord will not die. But death and immortality have nothing to do with each other. He was hit hard today and his moral integrity was wiped out.
Well, just by reuniting the body with the help of incense, it would take hundreds of years to reach today's level. The national destiny of the Song Dynasty is no better than before, and in my opinion, the Song Dynasty will not be able to survive for hundreds of years. .”
As Li Xiuyuan spoke, he walked out, picked up the Tai'a sword that had fallen on the ground, and put it back into the scabbard on his waist.
"You clearly still have Dao Xing in your body. Why didn't you take action just now and just watched the slave family be captured? You are so cruel."
Third Sister Hu said in a resentful tone again.
Li Xiuyuan glanced around and said: "It is true that I don't have Taoism. Now ghosts and gods can't see it. If Taoism doesn't show up, I won't even be able to find him. I can kill him not because I have Taoism, but because of my Taoism." , the Immortal-killing Broadsword was forged into a breath that filled the space between heaven and earth.
, inspired by upright and kind thoughts, whether it is ghosts, gods, or spirits, they all need to hold a breath to practice, just like incense condenses the ghost body, and the three souls and seven souls combine with the essence of the sun and the moon to become the soul. "
"The aura I created is specifically designed to overcome this type, so it can kill demons. The aura changes. I don't know much about the theory of Yin and Yang, and I don't know how to explain it to you. Maybe future generations can make it." There is a more reasonable explanation than mine. Shicai Daojun wants to be the Lord of the Heavenly Palace, seizes divine power, and kills innocent people.
, This intention goes against the will of heaven. I uphold my strong righteous thoughts for the sake of all beings in the world, and turn them into an immortal-killing sword that fills the space between heaven and earth. I feel my righteous thoughts, so I condense them and manifest them, killing ghosts and gods."
"No wonder Taoist Master said that in the future, everyone in the world will be able to use the Immortal-killing Sword." Third Sister Hu said.
When she thought of this, she couldn't help but feel scared.
With such a terrifying knife that everyone can hold in their hands, there are no opportunities for ghosts, gods and spirits in this world to do evil. It would be good if they are not driven out and killed.
The prosperity of humanity is indeed unstoppable.
Li Xiuyuan said: "Third sister, you are overthinking. How many people in the world can uphold integrity? How can a person who can really display his righteousness like me kill innocent people and kill ghosts and spirits indiscriminately? If he does this, That means that his heart already has selfish desires and his thoughts are no longer pure.
Naturally, this power will be lost. My Tao is not biased, but is trying to reconcile the contradictions between ghosts, spirits and humans, to achieve a relatively balanced state, so as to realize the two elements of things and myself."
"In the past, people were afraid of ghosts and gods, but ghosts and gods could bully people arbitrarily. Now ghosts and gods are also afraid of people. Only in this way will the order between yin and yang not be disordered, and a clear boundary will gradually be formed in the middle. In the future, people will only be under the control of humans. Ghosts and gods will only be under the control of ghosts and gods. If you cross the line rashly, you will be punished.
You will suffer accordingly."
"The perfect person has no self, the gods have no merit, and the saint has no name. I do these things not to be famous, but to have a clear conscience and bring some good changes to this world. This is enough. As for being regarded by some It doesn’t matter how people criticize or insult you.”
After Li Xiuyuan finished speaking, he turned around and suddenly saw a dense cloud of Yin Qi remaining on the ground.
"Third sister."
Third Sister Hu understood the idea and ran down immediately. Then with a wave of her hand, the yin energy dissipated, and an ancient book fell into her hands.
"Sir, this is the eighth book of life and death."
Li Xiuyuan nodded and said, "It is indeed in the hands of Lord Dao. Let me just say that Dongyue has voluntarily handed over the Book of Life and Death. It is impossible for him to hide it secretly. Only this Lord Dao can hide the Book of Life and Death secretly if his ambition is not dead. The world is like this
The book of life and death is almost complete, except for the last one."
"Li, Mr. Li, what happened just now? Why did those ghosts and gods disappear?"
At this time, Wednesday cautiously walked out of the ruined temple in confusion.
He looked around but could no longer see the whereabouts of the ghost.
Li Xiuyuan smiled and said: "I got to know the leading ghost and god, and we had a pleasant conversation with each other. Then he was persuaded by me to leave. He is fine now. Your injuries are not serious, right? I'm really sorry this time, let me
You master and disciple are involved, and I have nothing to compensate you.
Yes, there are only two fairy fruits. Although they cannot prolong your life and make you immortal, they can strengthen your body and eliminate all diseases. It should be of some help to your injuries."
With that said, he took out two crystal clear fruits from the Ghost King's bag and gave them to Wednesday.
Although this Wednesday is not very capable, he is very virtuous. His meager ability to dare to face a ghost general is enough to impress people.
It's just that his thoughts were confused when facing the enemy. If he persisted a little longer, he might be able to mobilize the immortal-killing sword.
"This, how can this happen? How dare I accept such a treasure? What I did just now is of no use at all. Instead, I asked you to save me. How can I accept your gift?" Wednesday stopped again and again and hurriedly shied away.
Li Xiuyuan smiled and said: "It's not a valuable thing, so just accept it. It's fate that we met by chance. I heard that you are going to a certain city to expel the fox spirits. How can you expel the fox spirits now that you are injured?"
"This, this" Wednesday hesitated.
Li Xiuyuan walked over and put the fruit into his hands: "The world is difficult. Maybe you and I will never see each other again after this goodbye. Just accept it."
"Thank you Mr. Li."
On Wednesday, he gratefully accepted it: "I don't know where Mr. Li is from. I will pay him a visit someday when I have time to thank Mr. Li for his kindness."
Li Xiuyuan said: "I am from Jinling, and my home is in Guobei County outside Guobei City. If you pass by somewhere someday, you can come and sit with me."
He did not do good deeds without leaving his name. If his good intentions are not rewarded, what is the point of doing good deeds and accumulating virtue?
The story of Zigong redeeming people has been passed down through the ages, but who would actually do it now?
Although I may not necessarily go to Guobei County on Wednesday, I will at least give others a chance to repay the favor.
As the sky grew slightly brighter, Li Xiuyuan and Third Sister Hu said goodbye to Wednesday, then headed south, disappearing into the distance along the official road.
Zhou Zhou and his apprentice watched them leave, looking at the crystal clear and fluorescent fairy fruit in their hands, and said with emotion: "This is a true gentleman. No wonder even the fox spirit can be influenced by him and willingly serve by his side.
Who said that the wilderness is full of bad guys causing chaos? Today we are here
I met a great sage, and I will definitely visit this young master when I have time someday."
After saying that, he took his apprentice and rode a fast horse from south to north, going against Li Xiuyuan and leaving the dilapidated temple.
Ten days of traveling in a dusty way, sleeping in the open air.
Li Xiuyuan finally returned to Guobei County.
He did not go directly to Yangzhou to take office. Whether it was the rules of the imperial court or his mood of returning home, he had to visit his hometown first.
Just make sure you are safe and feel at ease, and then go and be an official.
If there is no peace at home, how can he leave safely?
Guobei County is still as prosperous and lively as before.
A small county, expanded again and again, still looks like a big city.
Li Xiuyuan and Sister Hu were walking on the street, holding their horses, and they could clearly feel the lively atmosphere of the flowery place.
Walking at the intersection, no one recognizes me.
That's because there are more people living in other places, so there are naturally fewer local people. He hasn't been seen in his hometown for a long time, so naturally no one recognizes him.
When he was about to return to Li's Mansion, he saw that a huge open space had appeared beside the street. Countless craftsmen were building something nearby.
"This little brother, what is being built here? There is a lot of construction work." Li Xiuyuan asked.
A young man on the side smiled and said: "This young master must be from out of town. The land in front is the land of Mr. Li in Guobei County. I heard that the young master of the Li family has become a high official in Yangzhou. No, Mr. Li deliberately demolished more than a dozen buildings.
We are building a shop and a mansion. Mr. Li will come here to check it every day. No.
If the Li family is rich, even ordinary people like us would not be envious of it."
"Thank you, little brother, for informing me."
Li Xiuyuan bowed his hands and gave a salute, and then said: "I'm really building a house. I didn't expect it to be so big. It's too expensive. They actually use nanmu to make beams and columns and gold bricks to pave the floor. That's only available in the palace."
Such treatment."
"Master Li said that we should use the best materials to make this house last for a thousand years. Anyway, the Li family has money, so they don't need these." A carpenter laughed and said, obviously he was very happy with his job.
The salary is not less,
Li Xiuyuan thought about it and felt it was a bit extravagant. He wanted to think about his father's suggestions, but when he saw that the house was half built and the stones and wood were purchased, he had to shake his head and gave up.
"I don't care about my family. When the time comes, I will give my family a boudoir. If you don't want to follow my family, I won't do it." Seeing this, Third Sister Hu couldn't help but said quietly.
"" Li Xiuyuan.
When he returned to his house, he saw his father Li Dafu lying on a rocking chair, eating fruits, humming a tune, and listening to a storyteller invited from nowhere telling stories about the Sui and Tang Dynasties.
There were maids and Xinna's concubine waiting on the side.
It looks like a corrupt landlord's life.
"Father." Li Xiuyuan called.
"Huh?" Li Dafu looked back in surprise. When he saw Li Xiuyuan, he was surprised and happy: "My son, why are you back? Didn't you go to the capital? Hey, wait, this girl is"
Then he saw the graceful and charming Third Sister Hu beside him, and his eyes suddenly lit up as he looked around.
"The slave family pays homage to the master." Third Sister Hu turned her beautiful eyes and bowed.
"Okay, okay, get up quickly, no need to be too polite." Li Dafu stroked his beard and said with a smile: "My son is still so charming and has a new concubine. Okay, go, go to Madam to get a pair of silver locks.
,"
The concubine on the side responded, then hurriedly lowered her head and left.
"Thank you, sir." Third Sister Hu narrowed her eyes and smiled, she smiled very happily.
This young man's father is shrewd, so he saves himself a lot of trouble.
After a while, Li Dafu stretched out his chubby palm and stuffed a pair of silver locks into the hands of Third Sister Hu. He said earnestly, "If you accept this silver lock, you will be one of your own family. From now on, you can serve my son well and strive to have more children. I will The Li family has nothing but money. No matter how many children they have, they can afford it and don’t have to worry about it.
Heart."
"Father, this is Qing'e's third sister." Li Xiuyuan said.
"Ah. Another vixen?" Li Dafu was startled, and quickly stepped aside with agility that was not suited to his fat body.
Li Xiuyuan doesn't shy away from fox girls, but that doesn't mean Li Dafu doesn't care either.
Third Sister Hu's smile froze, and then she remained obedient and docile and said: "Master, don't be surprised, my family is not a fox spirit, but a fox fairy, which can be regarded as an immortal."
"Fox Fairy is good, Fox Fairy is good, as long as my son likes it." Li Dafu wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, and then said: "My son, why are you back so well now? Is there something going on in the capital? What's wrong with morale? I heard people say that Jinling City is deploying troops. Is the imperial court about to go to war?
You won’t lead troops to fight again, will you?”
"Father is worried too much. There is no war to fight. My son is returning home this time to report on his duties. He will soon go to Yangzhou to take up his post." Li Xiuyuan said.
It was good to have backward communication in ancient times. My father didn't know about such a big thing happening in the capital.
"Taking office again? This is the second time, right? The rules of the court are really troublesome, but it doesn't matter, my father is rich." Li Dafu patted his chest and said, "We will have a banquet tonight, and everyone we can invite will be invited."
"" Li Xiuyuan looked at his father with a strange expression.
Since he became an official, his father has been very public, but before he was extremely low-key.
In the past, the Li family was a businessman, so naturally they did not dare to show off too much. Now that the Li family is a family of officials, with money and power, Li Dafu naturally became arrogant. When he walked on the street and passed the Yamen, even the county magistrate had to greet him respectfully. Come out and give greetings.
In the past, a county magistrate would have almost destroyed the Li family.
After greeting his father, Li Xiuyuan went to the backyard to meet his mother.
Seeing that his mother, Mrs. Li, had a white cloth wrapped around her head and seemed to be injured, Li Xiuyuan couldn't help but asked with concern.
Li said, "It's not a serious injury. It was just that when I went to visit Daojun Temple a while ago, I accidentally bumped into the altar table and bruised my skin. It bled some. It's healed now."
Li Xiuyuan took the initiative to check the wound for his mother. It was indeed healed and scabbed, and it was no serious problem.
But when he left the backyard, he immediately realized why his mother was injured.
"Daojun Temple? That dagger, that's it. No wonder I was stabbed." Li Xiuyuan touched his chest and felt a shiver in his heart.
All this is not without reason.
But now that everything has passed, Dao Lord has been killed by himself, there is no need to dwell on this matter anymore. He shook his head and put this matter behind him.
"Sir, you are back."
At this time, a sweet but surprising voice sounded, and he saw a petite, well-behaved and cute maid with beautiful eyes standing outside the yard looking at him.
Du Chunhua was waiting there with a red face. She hadn’t seen her for a long time. This Du Chunhua had the plumpness of a woman, mature and delicate, with plump buttocks and bulging chest. You could tell at a glance that she was fertile. woman.
"It's Xiaodie and Chunhua, why are you here?" Li Xiuyuan walked over with a smile.
This is my personal maid, who has been with me for several years.
"When I heard that the young master was coming, my servant came over quickly."
Xiaodie giggled and said, she has become more and more juicy since joining the Li family, and her cute face seems to be able to squeeze water.
"It's just in time. I just came back from my mother's place and was about to go back. Let's go and bathe, change clothes and wash away the dust for your young master. I'll take you to Jinling City and Yangzhou for fun in two days." Li Xiuyuan said.
After saying that, he walked over, holding Xiaodie in one arm and Du Chunhua in the other, and walked toward his yard with a smile.
"Young Master." Xiaodie said coquettishly, but she was filled with joy.
Du Chunhua blushed and lowered her head: "Young Master, it would be terrible if someone saw this. It's better to go back."
"So what if I saw her." Li Xiuyuan smiled, but hugged her tighter.
Du Chunhua hummed slightly, but she didn't resist at all, but Fang's heart beat faster.
"These two maids are both pretty average-looking, but their looks and figure are a bit inferior to mine." On the roof, Third Sister Hu turned into a red fox and watched all this, curling her lips and saying with some displeasure.
"Wait a minute, now that he has no Taoism, he can't see through the changes in spirits. If I become one of the maids, won't he notice?"
Suddenly, Third Sister Hu rolled her eyes, thought of a good idea, and immediately became excited.
