The Chronicles of Longevity on Liaozhai Road

At this point, it was very obvious that there should be some great enemy outside, who had noticed the White Lotus Sect, and the White Lotus Sect was obviously not the opponent of the other party, because it seemed that it had failed so much in the ensuing battle.

Chapter 114 Consecration

After calculating the fate of the White Lotus Sect, the Buddha mother often sighed. It seems that her plan must be carried out quickly, otherwise, it will not be so easy for her to do things when Xu Hongru returns except for the little Taoist priest. .

Although she is the mother of the Buddha of the White Lotus Sect, Xu Hongru's ability is also taught by her, but with the expansion of the White Lotus Sect, various powers are intertwined, and now she, the mother of the Buddha, can no longer make a decision with one word.

Besides, Xu Hongru, after returning to the villa with a box in his hand, was also frowning in his quiet room.

Today's mother Buddha's confession seems to be nothing on the surface, but it never fails to pave the way for Xiaoer.

Although Xiaoer is his personal disciple and has been very affectionate for so many years, but just relying on this point to want to take away his power in the White Lotus Sect, that is absolutely intolerable.

After Xu Hongru had this idea, he secretly summoned several of his cronies that night and began to secretly arrange it.

The next day, Xu Hongru ordered a meeting of the main figures of the White Lotus Sect in the lobby as if nothing had happened.

Most of these main figures of the White Lotus Sect are disciples of Xu Hongru. To be honest, the current scale of the White Lotus Sect is thanks to Xu Hongru's hard work and hard work over the years.

It was also because of this incident that the Buddha's mother became jealous of Xu Hongru, because the existence of Xu Hongru had obviously weakened the Buddha's mother's position among the disciples of the White Lotus Sect.

Xu Hongru sat in the middle and looked down at the disciples below, then coughed, and then said: "Mother Buddha invited me to have an audience with her yesterday, and she explained something."

When Xu Hongru said this, he glanced at it like the second child on the side.

The little girl was a little panicked by Xu Hongru's eyes, because she found that Xu Hongru looked at her now, not as full of love and affection as before, but with a cold feeling.

But Xu Hongru didn't care about Xiao Er's thoughts, he frowned and said, "The little Taoist priest who killed Xiao Er's husband has returned to Xiangfu County."

As soon as Xiao Er heard this, she put all the strange feeling behind her, she raised her head and asked with a cold look on her face: "Master, please issue a decree to let the disciple go to avenge your husband."

With a smirk on his face, Xu Hongru shook his head and said: "That Taoist priest has some tricks, and you have greatly improved your skill now, so I'm afraid you are not his opponent."

After hearing this, Xiaoer below thought for a while, that little Taoist priest had tried a few tricks with the Buddha's mother a while ago, and even the Buddha's mother failed to catch him in the end, and his own ability is really not his. opponent.

Xu Hongru looked at Xiaoer's frustrated expression, and said as if he cared about her very much: "You don't have to be depressed, I decided to go down the mountain myself, Master, to avenge you."

After listening to Xu Hongru's words, Xiao Er immediately lifted his spirits, and then was moved. The master not only taught him all the skills, but also cared about himself all the time, especially this time, he did not hesitate to leave the main altar to avenge himself.

Xu Hongru could see clearly from above that Xiao Er was already very grateful to him now.

This made Xu Hongru feel a little satisfied. As long as Xiao Er still felt grateful to him, Xiao Er should not be unscrupulous during the time he left.

Coupled with his secret arrangement, when he comes back, the teaching should not be out of his control.

Xu Hongru breathed a sigh of relief, then smiled and said to Xiaoer: "You are the most qualified and powerful of my disciples. After I go down the mountain this time, I will temporarily entrust you with the affairs of the general altar. You can see that good?"

Xiao Er was startled when she heard this, and then she shook her head like a wave drum, "No, the brothers have been with the master for the longest time, and they are more familiar with the things in the teaching. If the master is not here, there should be a few brothers in charge of the teaching." Big deal."

"You don't have to refuse. Although your senior brothers said that they have been teachers for the longest time, their qualifications are limited, and they are not enough to suppress the entire White Lotus Sect. Only you have the best qualifications and the fastest progress in skills. With you, you can preside over the White Lotus Sect." It is safe to teach a master to be a teacher."

After listening to the master's insistence, Xiaoer reluctantly accepted, but he made up his mind in his heart that he must take good care of Bai Lianjiao and get a compliment from the master when he comes back.

After lunch, Xu Hongru changed his clothes and bid farewell to the disciples, then left the main altar of the White Lotus Sect alone, heading west all the way to Xiangfu County, Henan Province.

The last time the Buddha mother went to find Yang Heng's troubles, it was because she used the technique of doppelganger to wrap Emperor Guan's belief, so she was very fast, and it took only a moment to reach Xiangfu County.

But this time Xu Hongru went there with his real body, and he didn't have the ability to ride the clouds, especially in the daytime, if he used his supernatural powers to transform into dragons and other things, and it was known by practitioners or government officials from all over the place, that would be a big deal. no good.

Because the White Lotus Sect is so powerful now, the government has long been eyeing them. His sect is mainly daring to be so unscrupulous. I am afraid that before he returns to the White Lotus Sect, he will be surrounded and wiped out by the government's priests.

Therefore, during the daytime, Xu Hongru could only walk forward step by step in a down-to-earth manner. When it was getting late, he had dinner at a small roadside shop.

After the meal, Xu Hongru took advantage of the night to cut a crane, and then threw it in the air. The paper crane fluttered in the sky and turned into a real crane, and landed in front of Xu Hongru.

Xu Hongru touched the crane's head, smiled slightly, and then straddled the crane's back.

The crane let out a soft chirp, then flapped its wings and flew into the sky, and soon disappeared.

Not to mention the trouble Xu Hongru came to find Yang Heng, but also that after Yang Heng returned to Xiangfu County, he immediately began to prepare for the consecration ceremony of the Sanqing Patriarch.

His Taoist temple has been built for some time, and the statue of the Patriarch of the Three Qing Dynasty has long been placed on the main hall. During this time, some good believers from the county also came to burn incense and worship.

However, the statue of the Patriarch of the Sanqing has never been consecrated, and the dimness of spirituality may not be enough to bless these believers, so Yang Heng thought of holding a grand consecration ceremony, hoping that the spirituality of the Patriarch of the Sanqing can stay here.

As for why Yang Heng insisted on giving consecration to the Patriarch of the Sanqing, there was also a reason.

If consecration is mostly a procedure in modern times, it has no practical effect, but in this alien world where gods and ghosts appear, if you do not consecrate the statue, then you may not know whether the last one you worship is a god or a ghost.

Because no corresponding true spirit is invited to enter the statue, the statue is easily invaded by spirits and evils from the outside, causing you to wonder whether it is a god or a ghost.

Moreover, during this period of time, because the statue of the Patriarch of the Three Qing Dynasty was not consecrated, and there were countless people nearby who came to worship, it may have been missed by those mountain spirits and ghosts.

In order to reduce trouble, Yang Heng decided to consecrate the Sanqing Patriarch as soon as possible, and let the patriarch's divine light come here.

The day before the consecration ceremony, Yang Heng purchased a batch of cinnabar, bletilla striata, golden rooster (rooster), new brushes, face cloths, mirrors, etc. from the county.

Because Erya has a very good reputation among the nearby residents, and because of her publicity everywhere, on the day of the consecration ceremony, hundreds of people had already gathered in front of the Taoist temple, preparing to watch the ceremony during the consecration ceremony.

On this day, Yang Heng and Erya each put on brand-new Taoist robes, and then went to the gate of the Taoist temple to salute all the villagers, thanking them for coming to support them.

After that, Zhao Kong, who came to help, lit firecrackers. Amidst the sound of firecrackers, Yang Heng took off the red cloth covering the Taoist plaque.

Then the words "Dengtianguan" were displayed in front of the eyes of all the folks who came to watch the ceremony.

That's right, Yang Heng didn't even bother to come up with a name now, so he directly added the name of Dengtian Temple to the new Taoist temple.

Next, the gate of the new Heaven-climbing Temple opened, and Yang Heng rushed in with all his fellow villagers.

After entering the gate of Dengtian Temple, all the villagers stood quietly in the yard, and the next ceremony was up to Yang Heng.

Although Yang Heng presided over the consecration ceremony for the first time, he had already done his homework.

Yang Heng first began to recite the scriptures in the main hall. Yang Heng recited the three scriptures.

After reading the scriptures, Yang Heng stood up, took a newly bought brush and touched cinnabar and other things, then gently went up to the altar from the side, and began to use new cotton cloth for the three gods one by one. The face of the idol is uncovered, and the new brush is dipped in a mixed liquid such as cinnabar, bletilla striata, golden rooster blood and other mixed liquid to point out the eyes of the idol (there are also a little ears, nose, mouth, hands and feet, indicating enlightenment);

Next, Yang Heng used a mirror to reflect the sunlight outside the temple to the eyes of the statue, in order to use the divine light of the sun to enable the statue to see the world, and to enable the new statue to receive the induction from the gods in the sky and obtain the life of God.

After that, Yang Heng continued to chant sutras. This time, while Yang Heng was chanting sutras, in the endless dimension in the sky, three gazes suddenly cast their eyes on the Sanqing Palace from the deepest part of the universe.

Following this gaze, three auras of light floated from the sky and landed on the statue of Patriarch Sanqing, and then mysterious changes occurred around the statue of Patriarch Sanqing, and endless rules appeared on the statue.

Even the Heavenly Dao of this other world began to back down automatically when encountering such gazes.

This caused a strange cave to form around the statue of the Patriarch of the Three Qing Dynasty. Within this range, the heavenly way of this other world can no longer control everything in time and space. It has already handed over the authority to the masters of the three god statues .

However, the Heavenly Dao in the other world is not easy to mess with. Although the power of the Sanqing Patriarch is huge, the Heavenly Dao in this foreign world only retreats a little, and as a result, there are endless void rules, which begin to block everything around Sandeng Tianguan space.

This makes the power of the Patriarch of the Sanqing only entrenched in the Sanqing Temple, unable to extend a step outward.

Chapter 115 Vision and City God

Although the power of the Sanqing Patriarch is limited to the Ascension to Heaven, this is also a huge improvement for the Sanqing Patriarch.

And because of Yang Heng's contribution this time, he was also rewarded by the Patriarch Sanqing. He only saw a little light suddenly fly out from the endless dimension in the void, and it landed in Yang Heng's mind in the blink of an eye. middle.

Yang Heng didn't feel anything about this, he just followed the ceremony and completed the next consecration ceremony.

At this point, the entire consecration ceremony is considered to be over.

After that, it was time for believers to worship. Yang Heng, as the master of Dengtian Temple, naturally had to preside over it himself.

Therefore, Yang Heng has been staying at the altar, receiving believers from all walks of life, and instructing them how to worship the Patriarch of the Three Qing Dynasty at home.

And Erya, as Yang Heng's nominal junior sister, began to busily maintain order in the courtyard of Sanqing Temple.

When the number of pilgrims gradually decreased in the evening, Yang Heng and Erya finally relaxed. The two of them glanced at each other, and then breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.

Unexpectedly, the residents nearby were so enthusiastic that they almost smashed the gate of Dengtian Temple.

In fact, this is because Yang Heng didn't understand the inside story. The battle between him and the Emperor Guan that Buddha's mother transformed into had alarmed all the nearby residents. These people already knew that Yang Heng was a capable priest.

Because of this, these residents came to join Yang Heng's consecration ceremony.

After Erya closed the temple gate, she talked to Yang Heng, and hurried to the kitchen to light a fire and start cooking, because they hadn't had any water or rice since they had breakfast in the morning.

It was rare for Yang Heng to be leisurely, sitting on the rocking chair in the yard with his eyes closed.

And at this moment, a red light appeared in the Town God's Temple in the county seat. As soon as this red light appeared in the midair of the Town God's Temple, a figure appeared.

I saw this person wearing a red official robe and hat, and holding a book in his hand. He was the city god of the county. His eyes were shining with golden light, looking at Dengtian not far away. go.

But no matter how powerful his golden light is, when it touches the periphery of Dengtian Temple, it seems to have touched an invisible barrier, and all the visiting eyes are completely disappeared.

Seeing this situation, the city god frowned tightly. An unknown Taoist temple appeared in this county, and the gods enshrined in the Taoist temple were also unknown to him.

This situation is very unfavorable for the city god of this county, because as the city god, he is in charge of the people and the worship of all the gods in Xiangfu County.

Therefore, in Xiangfu County, this city god has a natural advantage, and even the way of heaven will give him some tilt.

This is why the last time, uh, the city god of Xiangfu County was able to confront the Holy Mother of the White Lotus Sect, and the Holy Mother of the White Lotus Sect did not dare to offend the City God too much.

The City God paused in mid-air, and finally decided to go over to see what happened, so he turned into a red light and landed near Dengtian Temple, and then the red light disappeared, and a middle-aged man appeared in front of others. scholar.

The passers-by on the street were not surprised at the appearance of a middle-aged scholar beside them, as if it should have been like this in the first place.

The scholar transformed by the City God shook his robe and walked slowly towards Dengtian Temple.

When he came to the gate of Dengtian Temple, he found that the door was already closed. It seems that Dengtian Temple is closed today.

But this City God didn't have the patience to wait until tomorrow, so he took a few steps forward and knocked hard on the gate of Dengtian Temple.

At this time, in the courtyard of Dengtian Temple, Yang Heng was having dinner with Er Ya, but before he had eaten two mouthfuls, the door was knocked loudly.

Erya was very dissatisfied with this situation, it was already dark, who had nothing to do to knock on the door.

Under such circumstances, naturally Yang Heng could not be allowed to open the door, so Erya could only mutter and put the bowl in her hand on the stone table, then reluctantly came to the door and opened it A small crack, poked his head out to see what happened.

As a result, what Er Ya saw was a scholar who was knocking on the door with his fist raised.

"Okay, stop knocking, someone has come out." Er Ya said angrily.

The scholar seemed to see Erya just now, he stopped his hands, turned around and looked Erya up and down, and then said: "This little Taoist priest, I am a poor scholar, who just arrived in Xiangfu County, and because of his lack of money, he can't live here. shop, so I would like to ask the Taoist priest to let me rest in this Taoist temple for a night."

Erya didn't have any sympathy after hearing this, but she heard that although these scholars are capable, they are not productive, so in Erya's view, these people are not poor, who are poor.

"We don't have any other rooms in the temple, you should rest somewhere else." Erya wanted to close the door after she finished speaking.

But the scholar raised his hand to block the door, no matter how hard Erya tried, the door remained motionless.

Erya was dissatisfied with this situation, "I said that you, a scholar, really don't know the truth. I've already told you that we have no place to live here, so what are you still doing here?"

The scholar in the middle was not angry at Erya's rude tone, but just smiled and said, "I'm away from home, Daoist, please help me."

In fact, this scholar is also helpless, he himself is the incarnation of the City God, and there should be no taboo places in Xiangfu County, but he can't enter this Temple of Heaven.

He can only ask the master first, and only when the master of Dengtian Temple agrees to him, can he step into the realm of other gods.

At this time, Yang Heng also opened his eyes and looked outside the gate, and then said to Erya, "Erya, it's convenient for others, let this gentleman come in."

After listening to Yang Heng's words, Erya gave the scholar a hard look. Originally, he and the Taoist master had finally spent some time alone together, but this scholar ruined it.

But the Taoist priest had already spoken, and Erya could only open the door to let the scholar in.

After this City God also entered the Dengtian Temple, he immediately felt that the rules here are completely different from those outside the temple.

It seems that there is an invisible force that is constantly eroding this world.

But fortunately, the rules outside are very powerful, firmly compressing these forces in Dengtianguan.

But even so, this City God felt that after he entered Dengtian Temple, his ability had dropped by more than half.

This made the City God feel a sense of emptiness for a while, and at the same time, there was some panic in his heart, regretting that he should not be so reckless and just break into this place of right and wrong.

But if you come, you will be safe. Now that you have come in, you can only face your own unknown with a calm mind.

So the City God calmed down his emotions, and then came to the place where Yang Heng was sitting with Zhang Erya.

And now Yang Heng stood up, waiting for the scholar to come to him.

The City God took a few steps forward and looked at Yang Heng, only to see that although the Taoist priest was dressed in extraordinary clothes, his appearance was indeed ordinary, and he did not show the extraordinary appearance of a monk.

But even so, this Grandpa City God did not dare to underestimate Yang Heng, because it was this person who had fought with the Holy Mother of the White Lotus Sect for such a long time before, and finally managed to escape from her.

Therefore, this City God gathered all his mana at the core of his dantian, and then bowed his hands to Yang Heng to salute, "My surname is Cao, and I have a single name, a peak. I have met the Taoist priest."

"It turned out to be Mr. Cao. My surname is Yang, and my legal name is Xitan."

After introducing himself, Yang Heng ordered Erya to bring a chair and put it beside him, asking Mr. Cao to sit down.

Mr. Cao thanked him and sat down opposite Yang Hengde.

At this point, Yang Hengcai asked: "Where is Mr. Cao's fairyland? What are you doing in Xiangfu County?"
