Fairy cage

According to the relevant regulations of the Taoist court, anything such as a book on martial arts cannot be given or received privately, and violators will be punished.

The Taoist Court's explanation to the outside world is to ensure that the Kung Fu books circulating on the market are all proper things, to prevent evil Kung Fu from poisoning Taoists and harming the world of mountains and seas, and to ensure the implementation of the ninth-level Taoist laws.

You cannot cultivate immortality unless you have Taoism.

Therefore, in the world of mountains and seas, for each level of Kung Fu books, Taoists must reach the corresponding level before they are qualified to access the corresponding Kung Fu. If you don't reach it, you can at most know a name.

In particular, the types of exercises that involve the fundamentals of Taoists, such as "Daoyin Technique" and "Breathing Technique", are restricted and prohibited even in the market, and it is difficult for major bookstores to publish them.

If you want to obtain it, the most important way is to go to the library directly under the control of Heishui Town to exchange it, just like Yu Lie did in Heishui Town, that is, to get it from the Daoting Yamen.

Even for a family like the Yu family, the basic secrets of establishing a clan can be easily taught to the Taoists in the clan, and you can also get on the bus first and pay for the tickets later.

It's just that after being awarded, the "make-up ticket" procedure is necessary and can never be ignored.

Otherwise, once the Taoist court investigates clearly, it will punish the family and reduce the family status, or directly cancel the family's qualifications to pass down the dharma. From now on, it will no longer be qualified to grant the dharma to the children of the clan, and it will be removed from the family.

Taoists who have obtained the Dharma have thus obtained the corresponding Dharma secrets. Once discovered, they will also be severely punished by the Taoist court.

On the surface, such a complicated rule seems to be met with resistance and opposition from the major families, and will also reveal the secrets of the major families. It should be impossible to implement it at all.

However, in the actual process, although there is opposition and disobedience, it has not been eliminated so far, and many families will still keep their hands on it.

But generally speaking, the major families hold a supportive attitude towards this, especially for small and medium-sized families.

The reason for this is that if a Taoist receives a teaching from his family, he will also bear corresponding obligations.

Take Yu Lie as an example, if he accepts the Taoist inheritance of the Yu family, it would only be the most basic if the Taoist registration falls in the Yu family of Diquan County.

From now on, he will have various responsibilities to fulfill, and there may be many loopholes that he can take advantage of, or even line his own pockets and become a hands-off shopkeeper. But when the Yu family gets into trouble and everyone is executed, he will definitely not be able to escape.

Even just because of the connection with the Yu family, if he wants to leave Diive County in the future and go to other prefectures and counties to search for immortals, it is best to report it to the Yamen in advance, otherwise, he may have to buy a ticket. Less than.

The above did not require the Yu family or the head of the Yu family to specifically make an agreement with Yu Lie. This was directly recorded in Diving County's laws and many legal cases.

As long as Yu Lie accepts the inheritance of Taoism, his obligations will follow him.

All these are the reasons why Yu Lie rationally chose to give up when faced with the breathing method and numerous magic books at his fingertips.

Similarly, this is also the reason why after he passed the Taoist examination, although he was a member of the family, he did not receive any Taoist skills or methods from the family.

It’s not that the clan is completely unwilling, but it’s simply not necessary and not worth it.

But this day.

After Yu Lie rejected the invitation from the head of the Yu family and stepped into the City God's Temple alone, a surprise that was beyond his expectation, but also reasonable, appeared in front of him.

In the exquisite and majestic shrine, a clay puppet is placed on the altar table. It is human-sized and has a green face with fangs, resembling an evil ghost.

The face of this clay puppet is blurred, and there are flashes of light. It seems to be looking at Yu Lie:

"Yu Lie, have you really made the decision to disobey the City God's will and not enter our City God's temple?"

A buzzing sound resounded in the temple, as if coming from all directions, which was quite strange.

His voice and expression were also indifferent, completely opposite to the situation when the other party went to Yu's home to congratulate Yu Lie that day.

Since Yu Lie has clearly rejected the Yu family, it is naturally impossible for him to come to the Chenghuang Temple in Diquan County and become a third-class temple blessing.

He went out this time just to cut through the mess quickly, and he refused to be promoted by the Qianjun City God in one breath.

In the shrine, Yu Lie heard the shouts and questions from the ghosts and gods on the altar table. He remained calm and showed no sign of wavering.

Because he was facing an existence at the seventh level, he didn't say too much. He just looked at his eyes, nose and heart, and kept bowing and clasping his hands without saying a word.

Seeing that Yu Lie remained silent, a cold feeling crept up Yu Lie's body, making him feel uncomfortable. The candlelight in the shrine also flickered momentarily.

After this stalemate for more than ten breaths, a sudden burst of laughter rang out:

"Haha, Lord Chenghuang is really right. How can he win the eyes of others with a mere job of temple blessing?"

In an instant, as if the ice had melted away and the snow had been released, all the coldness in the shrine had disappeared, returning to a sense of splendor and splendor.

Yu Lie was also surprised and raised his head to look at the ghost and god who suddenly changed his attitude.

Suddenly, a figure jumped out from the altar table and walked down.

This is a human figure, the same ghost and god who entered Yu's home to celebrate.

However, compared with that day, the ghost and god at this time had a hollow body, no dark lines on his face, and was purely a ghostly body, and his expression became much more agile.

The seventh-level ghosts and gods nodded to Yu Lie and said:

"Let's go, Pindao will take you to meet Lord City God."

After a pause, the seventh-grade ghost and god carefully revealed to Yu Lie, "What happened today was within the City God's expectation. Although I want to encourage you and others to work in our City God's Temple, it is impossible to really force it. Wait. Otherwise, wouldn't it mean that the hatred has not yet been resolved, but new hatreds and resentments have been resolved?"

When Yu Lie heard this, his heart moved slightly. He quickly took a step forward, followed the ghosts and gods, and said, "Please elaborate, Taoist Master."

Immediately, a man and a ghost were walking in the Chenghuang Temple.

The seventh-grade ghost and god spoke:

"The poor Taoist didn't hide it, he told fellow Taoists directly. Last time in Heishui Town, these old people competed with you for food. It was really shameful and hindered you. I am ashamed. This celebration is exactly what the City God has specially done for you, and wants to repair the relationship between you and your fellow Taoists."

"Fellow Taoist Yu Lie also came by chance and early. You are the first one to return to Diquan County as a Taoist disciple and be known by the Chenghuang Temple." He spoke carefully and suddenly lowered his voice. :

"Fellow Taoist, you must seize this opportunity. The Lord City God wants a thousand gold bones..."

After hearing this, Yu Lie suddenly realized and understood.

He secretly sighed in his heart: "No wonder I am not acquainted with the city god of Qian County, but he personally issued the order, and a seventh-grade ghost and god went to Yu's home to congratulate him. That's it, that's it. "

After understanding this, Yu Lie knew the origin of the City God's favor, and at the same time, some of the vigilance in his heart was dissipated.

To be honest, Yu Lie was very "flattered" by yesterday's unwarranted favor.

It should be noted that although it is rare to become a Taoist disciple in three years, it is not too rare and is not worth the big news yesterday.

After going around all the way, one person and one ghost came to a large ancestral hall.

Before Yu Lie walked in, he noticed an indescribable sense of majesty. He seemed to be back in front of the sixth-grade dinosaur lizard.

When he raised his eyes, he saw in this ancestral hall a tall golden-lacquered statue of a god, sitting majestically in the ancestral hall. It was majestic and majestic, giving people a mountain-like feeling, as if it was the incarnation of the entire city.

Needless to say, as soon as Yu Lie and the two came here, golden light shone on the golden lacquer statue, and a scrutinizing gaze fell from the statue of the City God.

Yu Lie raised his eyes and felt a sense of oppression that was even worse than the cold feeling just now, as if his whole body was being seen through.

At the same time, he also discovered that the face of the City God Statue was even more blurry and emitted golden light. He just looked at it a few times and felt his eyes sting.

"Don't look directly at him at close range." Yu Lie's heart froze, and he immediately closed his eyes and lowered his head slightly.

But to his surprise, a gentle and instructive elder's voice sounded from the City God's Temple, which also soothed the stinging feeling in his eyes:

"You're here, little one. Come in."

When Yu Lie heard this, he immediately handed over his hands. Under the signal of the seventh-grade ghost and god next to him, he hurriedly stepped into the City God's Temple.

The floor is paved with gold bricks and the dragons and gold pillars are even more magnificent than the shrine of seventh-level ghosts and gods. Looking around, everything is golden, but it doesn't feel vulgar.

In addition to gold bricks and gold pillars, carved dragons and phoenixes, there are also strands of golden aura in the ancestral hall, like olives, slowly falling down, floating and sinking, and dense like smoke.

A gentle force guided Yu Lie to the center of the ancestral hall.

After his body calmed down a little, Yu Lie quickly bowed and saluted, and shouted:

"I am a latecomer in school, and I have met Taoist Priest Cheng Huang."

Someone in the hall looked at Yu Lie with a deep gaze. After a few breaths of silence, he chuckled:

"You are such a low-achieving person. When you meet this god, you don't call me sir, but you call me Taoist priest."

As the other party spoke, the conversation changed again:

"Since you have appeared in front of me, you must have rejected my kindness. In this case, I am too lazy to play with you again. You can tell me directly, what are your wishes? I can help you handle it all together.

If not, when you meet, go down and take some spiritual stones back, which can be regarded as a little meeting gift from this god to you. "

Hearing Cheng Huang speak so straight to the point, Yu Lie's heart skipped a beat.

He remembered the hint from the seventh-grade ghost and god just now, and immediately understood: "Needless to say, choosing only spiritual stones when meeting someone is probably the worst loss."

After thinking about it carefully, Yu Lie's mind immediately fell on the words "breathing method" and "spell".

Although he has missed out on the centuries-old tradition of the Yu family by refusing to stay in Qianquan County, isn't there now another opportunity for him to obtain an even better method?

It should be noted that Chenghuang is one of the biggest figures in Qianqian County officialdom. He is an official when the other party speaks. For such a being, a mere oral formula is simply a benefit at no cost.

However, Yu Lie's mind sank slightly. After thinking carefully, he suddenly said:

"Reporting to the Chief City God, I have a relative who still lives in Qian Di County. He is also a mortal..."

A detailed narration came from Yu Lie's mouth.

In the huge ancestral hall, his voice was the only one that could be heard.

When the seventh-level ghost and god who followed Yu Lie heard Yu Lie's words, his eyes widened and he looked at Yu Lie in astonishment.

Because what Yu Lie said was nothing more than the hope that the City God could take care of the "mortal people" in his words, and bless his family, old and young, in safety and security, and to live a long life.

Yu Lie cupped his hands and prayed to the huge golden statue in front of him: "I only hope that the Taoist priest will protect my mother-in-law and her family, and they will be safe and sound. That's all."

The Qianjun City God heard this. He sat high on the altar table and was silent for a while.

After a long time, there was a voice:

"Hey, since I was appointed as the God of Diving County, these words of praying for the health of my family have been ringing in my ears every day. But in front of my true face, I said it when talking to this god, you are the first indivual."

It lowered its head and stared at the tiny remaining columns, and said in a hum:

"In this case, I agree. I will give you a promise. Even if the Yu family is removed, your adoptive mother and her children should enjoy their old age as peacefully as possible.

It's done, step back. "

A surge of divine light immediately drove Yu Lie back out of the hall.

Hearing the majestic voice, Yu Lie exhaled immediately.

"Thank you, Taoist Master Cheng Huang!" He thanked the other party, and then walked out of the hall with satisfaction.

Until he left the City God's Temple, there was no majestic voice to stop Yu Lie and let him enter the temple again.

As for the recommended seventh-grade ghost and god, after he had gone far away, he immediately stood in Yu Lie's ear, shaking his head and sighing softly:

"Such a good opportunity, fellow Taoist, you are just using it to protect a mortal, is it worth it?

If your second wife finds out, I'm afraid she will also blame you for not knowing what to do. It's just to protect mortals, you can leave it to the poor! "

Hearing this, Yu Lie was speechless as he walked.

If he remembered correctly, the ghost in front of him, from the last time he was on a business trip to the present, apart from verbally praising and giving face, has not even taken out half of the spiritual stone to repair the relationship. This guy is completely inferior to the City God. .

After a slight pause in his steps, Yu Lie shook his head and said, "There is nothing worthwhile about this matter."

He didn't say much, he just thought to himself: "With the protection of Qianjun City God, Erniang and the other two will have nothing to worry about."

After the matter was settled, Yu Lie seemed to have let go of something, and suddenly felt relaxed and at ease.

Next, after he finished greeting the seventh-grade ghosts and gods, he strode outside the City God's Temple.

Come alone, go alone.

But when Yu Lie was about to step out of the temple gate, a rapid voice suddenly sounded behind him:

"Fellow Taoist, please stay!"

Please give me monthly tickets. I hope I can get over 5,000 tickets. This volume is coming to an end, and my career in Daocheng is about to begin.
