Become a disciple of Taoist Priest Four Eyes

Chapter 221 Earth Veins Spiritual Essence

…

After teaching the slave a lesson, the rich middle-aged man put a smile on his face, stood beside him with a flattering look, and said a temple blessing that seemed to be Taoist but not Taoist.

"Master Zhao Xian, the people have been brought here. Do you think...?"

"Carry it in, don't do it again!"

"Yes, yes, don't worry, there will never be a next time."

Turning around, his expression suddenly turned serious.

"Didn't you hear what the immortal master said? Hurry up and carry the person in."

After a group of bearers and musicians hurriedly responded, they pushed down the sedan chair and carried the bride in from inside.

Zhao Qiao frowned. This was the first time he saw such a submissive bride who didn't cry or make trouble.

"Master Zhao, this is the meaning of the fourth room of my Zhu family. I hope Master Zhao can accept it."

Looking at the two packages of silver coins sealed in red paper in front of him and weighing them in his hands, Zhao Qiao understood the amount.

With a smile on his face, he took her into his arms naturally and forgot about the strange behavior of the bride just now.

"It cost the fourth master a lot of money."

"It should, it should."

"Everyone, Lord River God is coming tonight. I want to stay here to serve, so I won't accompany you. Please go back."

After hearing him drive people away, the leaders of the fourth house in Zhufeng Village did not dare to stay longer. After a few words of flattery, they left with the wedding team.

After they left, Zhao Qiao closed the temple door.

Stepping on the green bricks on the floor, you walk through the courtyard and enter the main hall in the middle.

In the rather solemn central shrine of the main hall, there sits a two-meter-tall golden statue wearing a red brocade robe, a golden crown on its head, three eyes on its forehead, and a majestic appearance.

There is a ranking in front of the statue.

"Jiutian Yuan Mansion has designated the throne of Zhuohe River God!"

I took three long incense sticks from the table next to me, lit them, put them on my forehead, bowed, and then inserted them into the incense burner.

Respectfully exiting the temple, Zhao Qiao came to the backyard.

First, he went to the main room in the middle and took a look at the bride sitting there. After seeing nothing unusual, he returned to his room in the left wing to rest.

Time passes little by little, the sun sets, and the tired birds return to their nests.

The night gradually became darker, and soon the whole world was shrouded in darkness.

suddenly.

A white water line comes against the current of the Zhuo River, cutting through the waves.

"Wow...!"

Following the sound of water breaking, a white stream of light fell into the River Temple.

Zhao Qiao, who had been waiting here for a long time, did not have the arrogance he had when facing the squire of Zhufeng Village in the daytime.

With a flattering smile on his face, he stepped forward and said respectfully.

"Zhao Qiao has met Lord River God, and I wish you good luck and good health."

The Zhuohe River God, who was dressed in plain white, had a slim face and peach-blossom eyes, and looked a bit like a handsome young man from a troubled world, nodded.

"Get up."

"Thank you Lord River God."

"Where is the beauty?"

"It's ready for you in the backyard."

"Lead the way."

"Lord River God, please!"

The two people walked into the backyard and came to the door of the central hall.

"The beauty is inside, adults can enjoy it."

"You did a good job, go down."

"yes!"

Zhao Qiao stepped aside knowingly. Zhuohe River God, who looked like a rich man, opened the door and looked at the bride, who had her hands bound and a phoenix crown, sitting upright on the bed.

"Haha, beauty, my husband is here!"

Rubbing his hands together, Zhuohe River God took two steps forward and was about to lift the bride's hijab.

Halfway through his hand, a red electric light shot straight towards the chest of Zhuohe River God.

With such a close distance and extremely fast speed, he could still avoid it.

Zhao Qiao, who was standing outside the door thinking about asking for some reward from Lord River God later, suddenly heard a scream from inside.

His body trembled, and before his head could recover, he saw a white light fly out from inside, and turned into a giant white phosphorus snake as thick as a bucket and nearly four feet long when it hit the ground.

Seven inches away from the giant snake, a hole the size of a teacup penetrated the entire body, even breaking the spine.

Looking at Zhao Qiao who was standing aside, the giant snake said angrily.

"You're such a pickpocket, how dare you conspire with outsiders to harm me!!"

"Lord River God...!"

Just as he was about to defend himself, he saw a long tail mixed with unparalleled power flying towards him. With a 'boom', flesh and blood flew everywhere, and his body, which was less than six feet away, was completely blown apart.

Xu Junming held a bamboo stick and walked out of the room, but did not stop the white snake from killing people.

Pop out a wisp of yellow rice and collect Zhao Qiao's soul to prevent him from turning into a ghost and doing evil.

"Who are you? I have no enmity with you, why do you want to harm me?"

White Snake said angrily.

"I am the direct descendant of the Taoist sect. You are a man-eating demon. Why do you think I want to kill you?"

"I have guaranteed that Zhufeng Village will have good weather for three years, a prosperous population, and a lot of merit. Why can't I use another person to eat it?!"

"Gangster logic!"

Xu Junming shook his head.

"Good is good, evil is evil. Doing evil because of good is just hypocrisy!"

"I am a hypocrite, what are you? Disguising yourself as a woman and attacking behind the scenes, is this the character of your Taoist disciples? Is this your kindness?" White Snake said angrily.

"A soldier never tires of deceit. If you don't even understand this, it only means you have a problem here!"

Xu Junming tapped his temple with his right index finger.

The white snake was furious at the sight.

"Insidious villain! Go to hell!"

A stream of white light shot directly at Xu Junming, and at the same time, a cloud of black mist fled outside like lightning.

With a pinch of fingers, the dense nine-color yellow rice was pressed down from the top of the yard.

Black Mist had no room for resistance and was taken in.

With a wave of his sleeves, surging mana surged, knocking down the white light from mid-air.

A small crooked sword fell to the ground with a clang.

If the body of the snake demon hadn't been dead, this high-grade magic weapon-level dagger wouldn't have been so easy for him to catch.

Reach out and make a move.

The yellow rice beams shot out and floated three feet in front of him. The nine-color light shone, which was really beautiful.

Look at the white snake spirit inside the yellow rice.

"My body was destroyed and you didn't run away quickly. You actually stayed to talk to me about good and evil? You are stupid too."

With a movement in his heart, a stream of white air flew out from the yellow rice, and the memories belonging to this white snake appeared in front of his eyes bit by bit.

"Empress Jinyuan's birthday?!"

Xu Junming was heartbroken.

"Sure enough, I gained something."

Having lost track of Ren Xiang, he thought about catching a few local monsters and ghosts to see if he could find any clues from their memories.

Now, it turns out that his guess was correct.

Looking at the snake corpse lying on the ground.

"It's time to have a ready-made birthday gift!"

He skillfully peeled off the skin and extracted the bones, used the bones to practice the White Snake Teeth and used the White Bone Sword, and used the essence of flesh and blood to make the Essence Pill to strengthen his physical body in the future.

Xu Junming collected the essence of the remaining snake skin and refined a robe with six treasure taboos.

According to the White Snake's peak innate cultivation level, his skin could be refined into a high-grade magic weapon after being refined, but Xu Junming was too lazy to spend this effort.

Walking out of the yard, I turned around and looked at the river temple.

The khaki aura under Xu Junming's feet shone brightly and soon enveloped the entire temple.

Opening his left hand, a complex blue talisman emerged. As the spiritual light shone, the Heshen Temple slowly shrank, and finally turned into something as small as an adult's palm.

Just put it into the gourd.

"It would be a waste to put such a good house here. If it is used to house orphans and widows, it can be considered a meritorious deed."

Back then, he had torn the Wu family's house into pieces. Every time he passed by a place to drive corpses, he would cut off a piece and use it with Earth Escape to build a welfare home.

Therefore, when I arrived at Uncle Jiu's place, I was able to use the 'house-building technique' so skillfully.

After cleaning up, Xu Junming glanced at the large pit on the ground that was gradually seeped by the river water. He spread out his body skills and followed the river for five miles. A river bend surrounded by mountains and with a somewhat magnificent scenery appeared in front of him.

Xu Junming took a brief look, then activated the Dantian water-repelling talisman and fled straight to the bottom of the river.

His understanding of the path of water is not very high. Although he can deflect water, it cannot exceed thirty feet.

However, this river bend is located inland, so it cannot be so deep.

After descending about twenty feet, we arrived at the bottom of the river.

In the underwater world, fish and shrimps swim, turtles and turtles roam, and aquatic plants of various colors sway with the current.

Although it is dark outside now, it does not prevent Xu Junming from enjoying the underwater beauty.

Of course, he didn't come here just for sightseeing.

With a quick sweep of his consciousness, he quickly found a huge boulder protruding from the bottom of the water.

There is an extremely deep cave five feet in diameter in the middle of the boulder.

The rocks around the cave were polished to an extremely smooth finish, as if they were coated with a thick layer of slurry. It was obvious that something often came in and out from here.

Xu Junming's consciousness sensed for a moment.

"The God of Hu Tian performs magic."

After performing it twice in a row, we came to a huge underground cave.

The cave is five feet high and more than twenty feet in diameter. It is half water and half rock. The entire cave is filled with a strong snake smell.

Xu Junming came across the water and looked towards the northeast, where there was a stone lotus protruding from the ground close to the cave wall.

His eyes lit up and he walked over expectantly.

The closer you get, the stronger the elegant fragrance becomes.

When you come to the stone lotus, you can see a layer of milky white viscous liquid precipitated in the sea bowl-sized stone lotus.

"It is indeed the essence of earth veins!"

Xu Junming sounded excited.

Earthly Vein Spiritual Marrow is a spiritual creature born from the Earthly Veins. It has rich spiritual energy and is the best elixir for increasing one's merits.

Looking at the fineness of some earth veins, they are close to a thousand years old.

"This is the best elixir of the Dongzhen. If it takes another hundred years, it will be possible to advance to the Dongxuan. This white snake is indeed a good luck path, but it is a pity that it has little knowledge and does not practice merit. Otherwise, it will have the help of this earth vein spiritual marrow. , enough to advance to the golden elixir in the future."

But if this white snake didn't do evil, I'm afraid his chance would be gone.

After feeling happy, he took a palm-sized jade bottle from the magic bag, channeled the magic power, and carefully put the earth vein essence into it.

After the stone lotus dried, Xu Junming plugged the lid and affixed the sealing charm with satisfaction on his face.

This half bottle of earth vein essence is worth a lot of money.

Although this Earth Vein Essence can be taken directly, since he learned how to make elixirs, he has stopped doing such things as chewing peonies.

He did not touch the remaining stone lotus.

Although this is also a medium-grade spiritual stone, if it is touched, it will no longer be possible for the earth vein spiritual essence to be produced here.

It's better to use this kind of extreme means sparingly.
