The Taoist order to exchange immortal yuan for treasure banknotes has been issued for five days.

The people of Yongfeng County did not feel any big changes. They worked, ate, studied scriptures, and slept as usual.

The only thing that can be considered abnormal is that late at night, you can often hear the crisp ringing of bells from the former Yongfeng County Government Office and now the Yongfeng Taoist Palace, as if to welcome the arrival of some important person. .

And the young Taoist priests who are responsible for patrolling the city are not as amiable as Yuan, and they always have an unusual look of vigilance and nervousness on their faces.

It is said that this is related to an invasion of evil spirits that occurred in Shangrao County a few days ago. The immortal chief on the mountain has given an order to kill the absconding evil spirits in Guangxin Mansion in order to uphold the majesty of the Dragon and Tiger Taoism.

However, Cai Qiudao, who is now over fifty, has no interest at all in this kind of gossip that is unknown to be true or false. All he could think about now was how to seize this rare and precious opportunity in front of him and strive to become a Daoxue of Longhu Mountain.

Even if I can only become a disciple of Dao Jiu in this life, I will be satisfied. After all, this can be regarded as embarking on the road to becoming an immortal.

For this reason, Cai Qiudao even asked for a precious day off from the talisman factory where he worked, and was deducted a full 120 cents from his salary.

"Dear believers, in accordance with the decree and order of Master Zhang, Yongfeng Taoist Palace is holding a disciple recruitment ceremony here today. Anyone who is proficient in "Laozi Xiang'er Commentary", "Zhengyifa Wen Tianshi Jingke Sutra", "Zhengyimeng Weilu" and "Tianshi" All believers in the official chapter and other classics can come forward to sign up for the Dongtian assessment."

"Once passed, Yongfeng Dao Palace will give you a high-quality ninth-grade Dao foundation for free based on your Five Elements attributes and three opportunities for reincarnation in the cave for up to ten years."

"Those with excellent qualifications are more likely to become preparatory heavenly masters of the Nine Dragon and Tiger Divisions and obtain the qualifications to practice at Longhu Mountain."

On a temporary high platform, a Taoist official wearing a red robe looked down at the dense crowd of people gathered below the platform and said loudly: "This is the first time in a hundred years that Longhu Mountain has opened its gates to benefit all believers. It is a rare opportunity. We hope it will." Dear believers, please take advantage of this opportunity.”

As soon as the Taoist official finished speaking, the audience was immediately followed by exclamations of surprise.

"A tailor-made ninth-grade Taoist foundation is probably produced by the Tianshi Mansion Law and Seal Script Bureau. How much money is this worth? No, it's immortal yuan?!"

"There are still three opportunities for reincarnation in the cave, and the duration is ten years. It's really a big deal!"

"Master Heavenly, have mercy, Master Heavenly, have mercy!"

Cai Qiudao, who tried his best and still couldn't squeeze into the crowd, could only stand helplessly on the outside. Although the Taoist official's voice on the stage could not be heard here, from the discussions of the Taoist fellows around him, he probably understood what he meant. The conditions offered by this conference were astonishingly generous.

In contrast, the recruitment threshold is incredibly low.

Is it a condition to be proficient in Zhengyi classics? As long as there is a believer who aspires to become a Taoist follower, who cannot memorize these classics by heart?

"Master Tian, ​​have mercy! We good believers will definitely not let down Master Zhang's love!"

Cai Qiudao was so excited that he couldn't help shouting loudly.

"Longhu Mountain is ready to start recruiting troops."

At this moment, a slightly sarcastic voice sounded from Cai Qiudao's right side.

Cai Qiudao couldn't help but look sideways, and what he saw was a young man with a barely handsome profile but an annoying smile on his lips. He said angrily: "Fellow Taoist, how can you talk like this?"

As a devout Dragon and Tiger believer, although Cai Qiudao's own qualifications are in shambles, from the time he came to Yongfeng County at the age of fifteen and studied Taoism while working, and he is still alone today, you can see his path to Taoism. How pious and firm the heart is.

"This is obviously Master Zhang's gratitude for our pious faith, so he gave us the opportunity to learn Taoism and seek immortality. How could this be some kind of recruitment?!"

"Taoist Master, please don't blame me. The kid just talked nonsense."

Zou Sijiu pursed his lips, cupped his hands towards Cai Qiudao and said, "It's because this opportunity came so suddenly, and the conditions are so favorable, that I lost my mind for a moment and spoke indiscriminately."

Hearing the word "Taoist" made Cai Qiudao feel comfortable. Zou Sijiu looked him up and down and saw that he was wearing a gray Taoist robe of poor quality and a turban with the same rough stitching on his head. He looked nothing outstanding. With his monastic qualifications, he immediately showed himself proud and proud.

"Hmm."

After putting his feet up and seeing that the futon linking the cave in front of the altar in the distance was already full, and it would probably be a long time before it was his turn, Cai Qiudao simply cleared his throat and pointed to Zou Sijiu: "I see that your facial features, little Taoist friend, have been straightened out. You probably haven't had any plastic surgery, right? Well, even if you haven't had plastic surgery, you can still be regarded as a talented person, and you should have some potential for cultivating Taoism, but!"

This sudden statement was sonorous and powerful, and Cai Qiudao's eyes suddenly sparkled.

"Qualification and potential, for those of us who seek the Tao, are just the most insignificant of all the conditions that need to be met to seek the Tao. The real core key is whether your faith is pious and firm enough. If every time you meet How can one complete the reincarnation of Huangliang Cave Heaven, meet the requirements of rituals, and become a disciple if he loses his mind and misbehaves over such a trivial matter?"

"What the Taoist preaches is what he teaches."

Zou Sijiu nodded repeatedly, his attitude was too good to be true.

"But Taoist Master, I have been having some doubts in my heart that I can't solve. I hope that Taoist Master can give me some advice."

Cai Qiudao wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth and said, "Come and listen to Pindao."

"The Taoist official just said that this is the first time in a hundred years that the gate of Longhu Mountain has been opened. Is this true?"

"How dare you presume on what the Taoist official said?" Cai Qiudao frowned coldly.

Zou Sijiu chuckled and said, "I'm just curious."

"Then with your appearance, you must have been in Yongfeng County not long ago, right?"

Cai Qiudao clasped his hands behind his back and looked expectantly at the group of believers sitting cross-legged on the futons undergoing the trial. He only glanced at Zou Sijiu beside him with his peripheral vision.

"Taoist Master Huiyan has only been here for less than ten days. He used to study Taoism in the southwest."

"Southwest, is that the basic base of Qingcheng Mountain?"

Cai Qiudao said contemptuously: "Qingcheng Mountain is not comparable to our Longhu Mountain. It is the right choice for me to move here. Where is our Longhu Mountain? The Taoist Ancestral Court! That is a rich heritage that can only be formed by the accumulation of thousands of years of history. !”

"Not to mention the Tianshi Mansion, just the chief officers of the nine dragon and tiger divisions of the outer sect are all immortal figures who can be called 'earth immortals'. They can change the color of the world with just a few movements. Therefore, Longhu Mountain recruits disciples The threshold has always been very high, and ordinary believers are not qualified to enter the mountain gate to practice Taoism. Only true geniuses can receive the seal of dragon and tiger and become Taoist disciples on the mountain."

Zou Sijiu then asked: "If this is the case, then why is a Dharma gathering of this scale suddenly held this time?"

A series of lamentations suddenly sounded from the crowd. It was the believers who had rushed to occupy the futon and failed the test. After disconnecting from the cave, they beat their chests and felt full of regret.

Upon seeing this, Cai Qiudao couldn't help showing a mocking smile on his face, but when he withdrew his eyes and turned to look at Zou Sijiu, his expression suddenly became extremely serious.

"Your heart is not right again."

"When I first come here and encounter such an opportunity, I will inevitably worry about gains and losses. Please forgive me, Taoist Master."

"That's why I said that you made the right choice to come to Longhu Mountain. How can you broaden your horizons and structure by staying in a small place like Qingcheng Mountain where nothing matters?"

Cai Qiudao said proudly: "The rewards of this Dharma conference you are seeing are indeed rich, but for Longhu Mountain, it is just a drop in the bucket. As long as Zhang Tianshi is willing, even if he holds it every day and recruits people every day, there will be no difference." question."

Cai Qiudao couldn't help but speak a little louder when he talked about his interest, which immediately caused the people around him to turn their heads and cast strange eyes on him.

"Why, do fellow Taoists think there is something wrong with what Pindao said?"

Cai Qiudao raised his head and asked loudly, and of course he got a roar of approval.

After all, this is Yongfeng County, and almost everyone present is a believer in Longhu Mountain.

Even if there were sane people among them, they would not choose to foolishly refute in public on such an occasion.

"So fellow Taoist, you can feel free to take part in the trial. Although in Pindao's opinion, your chance of success is not high, you can't be discouraged. Even if you fail, you can still enter the Huangliang Cave to experience it. At least you can accumulate some money." A lot of valuable reincarnation experience.”

"That's it. Thank you Taoist Priest for clarifying my doubts, otherwise I would have thought." Zou Sijiu hesitated to speak.

Cai Qiudao frowned and asked, "What do you think?"

Zou Sijiu moved closer to the other party and said in a lowered voice: "I thought the Taoist palace held the ceremony to recruit us to annihilate the evil spirits. Taoist priest, have you heard that in Shangrao County not long ago, the entire Taoist palace was All the Taoist officials were killed by an extremely ferocious demon, and even the immortals on the mountain who rained down thunder were unable to kill each other."

"Of course Pindao knows this news."

Cai Qiudao snorted coldly: "But you, a little Taoist priest from outside, have underestimated us in Longhu Mountain. You are just a little evil spirit. If you dare to enter Guangxin Mansion, you are asking for death. It won't be long before the Taoist Palace is over. It will be announced that the demon has been slain, so how can we be sent into battle? "

"But I heard that the evil demon has a good background. He seems to be a member of Wu Xu, and he also practices Wu Xu alone."

"What happened to Wu Xu? His general was defeated!"

Cai Qiudao turned around, looked at Zou Sijiu with a serious face, and said in a serious voice: "You really need to temper your Taoist heart. Daoxu is one of the three religions, and Longhu Mountain is the ancestral home of Daoxu." , In other words, we are the leaders of the Tao Order in the world, how can a Martial Order compete with Longhu Mountain?"

"And let me tell you, the immortals on the mountain have been prepared for a long time. Have you heard the ringing of the magic bells in the Dao Palace these nights? That is the etiquette that only the immortals of the Yuke level of Dao Siyouhai come to. At least now There are more than three immortals in the Dao Palace of Yongfeng County. Does the evil spirit you talk about show up? "

"You actually know all these secrets, Taoist Priest?"

Zou Sijiu looked shocked and exclaimed.

"As a Taoist, why do we need to hide our heads and show our tails when we act?"

Cai Qiudao held his head high and said: "The immortals are telling the rats hiding in the dark that the way of heaven is vast and sparse, and there are no evil spirits under Longhu Mountain!"

"You heard me, Lao Shen, your task is a difficult one! There are at least three people in the group, can you withstand it? You won't be killed if you don't show your head, right? As long as you can escape, come out and say hello to them!"

Looking at the little foreign Taoist priest who was talking to himself and talking nonsense, Cai Qiudao's face was full of doubts, and an unknown premonition arose in his heart for no reason.

"What are you mumbling about?"

"Nothing, just a tip-off."

Zou Sijiu smiled and said, "Thank you for clarifying my doubts, Taoist Master."

What's the meaning? ! There is something wrong with this person!

A strong panic surged in Cai Qiudao's heart. He quickly turned around and squeezed into the crowd, shouting loudly: "Master Daoist, Master Daoist"

At this moment, the originally clear sky suddenly darkened, and large dark clouds hung in the western sky.

The sudden vision plunged the entire ceremony into chaos.

"Stars in the sky? The devil has appeared?!"

The Taoist official in red on the high platform was horrified. Before he could stop the rioting crowd below, he heard a deafening thunder blast from the horizon.

Boom!

Countless pairs of eyes looked suddenly, and saw a green figure the size of a rice grain suspended in the mid-air under the black clouds that overlapped like a building in the distance. The pale thunder light that was split spread out, as if there were interweaving lights behind the figure. Two pairs of huge wings.

"Wu Xu and Shen Li are here, and the little thief Dragon and Tiger come out to fight!"

The roar roared into Yongfeng County, ringing in the ears of the people in the city.

"Bold evil devil, seeking death!"

Angry shouts were heard in the Dao Palace, and three figures rose into the sky one after another, heading straight towards the armored madman standing in the air.

"Well done, I'll challenge a group of you today! Come on!"

The yelling and yelling were soaring and domineering. Just when everyone thought that the immortal elders were about to break out into a bloody battle with this audacious evil spirit, they saw the cyan figure suddenly turning around and running away madly in the distance.

"The evil spirits shall not escape!!"

In the Dharma assembly, everyone yelled and cursed.

Cai Qiudao even jumped to the sky and roared, with a ferocious expression on his face, as if he wished he could step into the sky with his sword and chase down demons.

But no one noticed that the dark clouds that originally only hung in the western sky had quietly drifted above their heads.

The cold wind penetrated into Cai Qiudao's thin Taoist robe. Even though he had not undergone many mechanical modifications, he could still feel the change in the weather. He shuddered suddenly and subconsciously turned his head to look behind him.

The foreign Taoist was still standing there, but the upper half of his face was covered with a terrifying mask with angry red eyes and green face and fangs.

An exposed lip opened and closed silently toward him, but Cai Qiudao clearly understood what the other person meant.

"Taoist priest, it's going to thunder."

"Yin-Yang Alchemist, Master of Huangliang. My name is Zou Sijiu. In the name of Zhou Die of the Fourth Village of Yin-Yang, I borrow my authority to open the back door and regain control of the stars in the sky!"

Zou Sijiu's robe was dancing, his hands were clasped on his chest, and a cold and charming face with cold eyebrows appeared behind his head. His red hair was like fire, which was particularly eye-catching in the dim light.

boom! boom! boom!

Countless thunderbolts fell like rain, and their target was the former Yongfeng County Government Office and the current Yongfeng Taoist Palace. All the buildings were submerged by the thunderstorm.

The terrifying pressure as huge as a mountain made Cai Qiudao unable to stand at all. He knelt on the ground with his head in his hands, trembling all over.

After an unknown amount of time, when the roar of thunder completely dissipated, Cai Qiudao finally dared to raise his head.

The evil demon had disappeared without a trace, and behind him, the Yongfeng Dao Palace was also missing.

All that was left was a dark pit a hundred feet deep, with puffs of pale smoke rising from it.

"The power of magic is overwhelming. The power of magic is overwhelming"

Cai Qiudao's eyes were empty and out of focus, and he kept mumbling to himself.

"Sister Yuan, Zou Sijiu and the others have already taken action."

Xie Bi'an spoke at the 'Crane Scripture' chain of monasteries located in Shangrao County.

"How is it going?"

A pair of long legs were stacked on the stool. Yuan Mingfei, who had rushed from Hanshan Temple, was pressing her thighs with her hands, her slender waist straight. Fan Wu Jiu, who had a ferocious face, stood obediently behind her, squeezing her shoulders diligently.

"What are you looking at? Have you never seen a hero who understands current affairs?"

Fan Wujiu noticed Xie Bi'an's strange gaze and snorted coldly: "Sister Yuan, as long as I perform well, go back and help me get a top-quality mechanical heart. Xiaobai, you must be envious."

"I do feel envious."

Xie Bi'an rubbed his brows helplessly and continued to look at Yuan Mingfei and said: "Sister Yuan, you expected it well. There was indeed an ambush in the Dao Palace in Yongfeng County, but it was not an ambush. According to Mr. Zou, they were blatantly stationed there. , there is no idea of ​​concealing one’s whereabouts for fishing.”

"It seems that these Taoist monks from Longhu Mountain don't take us seriously."

Concubine Yuan Ming smiled: "How many people are there?"

"The three Daosi should all be Earth Immortals at the chief officer level of the Nine Dragon and Tiger Tribes."

"Are the magic sticks and the others injured?"

"Master Zou ran fast and was not attacked. Only Shen Li received a few blows from flying swords, but the problem was not that big."

Concubine Yuan Ming nodded: "It seems that the concealment effect of the ink weapon provided by Tianque is quite good, and it can hide the stars in the sky."

"But the price charged by the other side is not low. A few of the ink weapons use Brother Jun's Yigui Wuliu."

"This is all money that should be spent and cannot be saved. Moreover, whether there is such a thing as a ritual is one thing, but whether it can be completed is another."

Concubine Yuan Ming said in a relaxed tone: "I'm afraid only that freak Li Jun can achieve such outrageously harsh conditions."

"Then what do we do now?"

Xie Bian glanced at Chen Qisheng, who was sitting silently aside, and said, "According to the information provided by Master Zou, if there is a Dharma bell ringing in the Taoist palace, it means that someone from Longhu Mountain is stationed. But in Shangrao County Taoist Palace, There was no such movement inside, and I couldn’t tell how many people were hiding inside.”

"The Dharma bell is not reliable in itself. Only Zou Sijiu, who cares about his reputation, would believe it. Not everyone likes to do these ritual things like him."

Yuan Mingfei said lightly: "We are in the dark now, and the enemy is in the light. There is no hurry. Old Chen, can you bear it?"

"It's okay."

Chen Qisheng's tone was stiff, but his left thumb kept rubbing the base of his right hand.

Yuan Mingfei sighed suddenly when she saw this. Just as she was about to say something, the respectful voice of Taoist Wu suddenly sounded.

"Buddha, someone is sending me an invitation to the Huangliang Dream."

In the corner, Taoist Wu, the fat owner of the Jingshe, pressed his back tightly against the wall, and the 'wanzi' symbol belonging to the Buddhist order appeared in his eyes.

"The other party said he was Zhao Yanlong."
