My Taoist Temple is trending again

After leaving Xiangxi, Xu Qingmu and Song Jue followed the tracking talisman and searched for the escaped soul.His incomplete soul is not enough to resist Xu Qingmu's spell and Song Jue's arrow. If he wants to not be wiped out, at least half of his soul must be combined.

After chasing him all the way, Xu Qingmu discovered that the man had been heading in the direction of Zhicheng, and the last stop was not far from Lingyun Temple.

On the afternoon of the third day, the two went to a newly opened office building in Zhicheng, followed the tracer, and found that the soul was staying in this building, a small company called Huanyu.

It was the time for white-collar workers to go to work. Xu Qingmu and Song Jue were afraid of hurting innocent people, so they didn't dare to make too much noise. They stood low-key at the door of Huanyu for a while, looking at the introduction posted on the door.

This company sells Sanwu cosmetics, which is a common direct sales model in recent years. It earns commissions by developing offline, which has a little bit of a pyramid scheme.

Why is it here?

Both Xu Qingmu and Song Jue were very puzzled, and after calming down, they walked in. As soon as they entered, they saw a very beautiful girl at the front desk.

Her eyes were clear, full of enthusiasm and positivity. When she saw someone coming, she immediately stood up and bowed to them, saying hello very politely, as if she loved her job very much.

Seeing this situation, Xu Qingmu was a little dazed, feeling like he had strayed into a company where he was working normally, and he didn't know what to say.

Fortunately, Song Jue's identity as the big boss is easier to use. After flashing his business card and talking nonsense about discussing business with their company, the girl at the front desk believed it and said very sincerely: "Our boss is giving a lecture now. You can wait for a while, and you can talk to you when the boss comes out. However, our boss's lecture is quite popular, if you are not in a hurry, you can also go and listen to it, it is in the conference room."

Xu Qingmu also wanted to know what this strange company was doing, so he agreed, and the girl at the front desk led him to the meeting room.

As soon as the door of the conference room was opened, Xu Qingmu heard a very familiar voice. He was a little surprised and looked towards the podium in front of him, and saw a former acquaintance at a glance.

It turned out to be Wen Lun.

Xu Qingmu was astonished, and turned to look at Song Jue, who also frowned slightly, confused about the situation.

Wen Lun, who was giving a speech on the stage, also saw the two of them. There was no strange change in his expression, and he even smiled at the two of them, and then continued his speech.

The girl at the front desk didn't notice anything wrong, she led the two of them into the room, found a corner to negotiate a few words with someone, and then gave Xu Qingmu and Song Jue a seat.

Xu Qingmu and Song Jue sat down silently, and looked around the small conference room.

This small conference room actually accommodated nearly 200 people, including men, women, young and old, with different ages, occupations and genders, but everyone had the same expression—like the girl at the front desk, full of enthusiasm and vitality, with very bright eyes, He was also full of reverence for Wen Lun who was speaking on the stage.

In all fairness, the young man who is giving a speech now is completely different from the old Wen Lun, who was shy of being cowardly. On the stage, his chic and charming gestures are indeed very eye-catching.

Xu Qingmu chuckled lightly and said, "I almost forgot about this person."

Song Jue said, "It's Wen Lun, but it's not Wen Lun either."

Xu Qingmu nodded.The real Wen Lun should have died like Man Yatou, his body was occupied by that soul.

On the surface, Wen Lun was still giving a speech with dignity and confidence, and no one else could see it, but both Xu Qingmu and Song Jue could clearly see that the spell and arrow were still stuck in his back.He was seriously injured, and now he is still giving a speech in good spirits, and he has no intention of running away, so it can be said that he is a talent.

"In the age of the Dharma-ending era, the gods are at rest, and the faith has long since collapsed." Wen Lun spoke slowly, with a solemn expression, "This is an era that has completely collapsed."

The audience in the audience all listened earnestly, and their expressions were very dignified.

Xu Qingmu said in a low voice: "The cosmetics sellers talk about this?"

Song Jue said: "It's probably under the guise of selling cosmetics to trick people into brainwashing them. No wonder they choose a company with a direct sales model, which makes it easier to recruit members."

Wen Lun continued to say impassionedly: "In the ancient times, humans, gods, demons and ghosts lived together. In that era, no matter what kind of creatures can find their place in this world. Later, the endless plundering of the human race occupied most of the world. resources, eventually aroused the wrath of the gods, cut off the ladder, and kept away from the stupid and greedy human beings."

Wen Lun's tone became more serious: "But the human race still didn't repent, and finally aroused the wrath of the gods, and washed away the world with a flood."

When he said this, Song Jue suddenly thought of something, and said: "In the myths of all countries and nations in the world, there are indeed legends similar to the heavenly ladder. For example, "Huainanzi" said that Kunlun Mountain can ascend to the sky, and there is also Babel in the "Bible". The records of the tower. As for the legend of the flood that destroyed the world, it is even more widespread. Except for my country, there are legends of the flood that destroyed the world at different times in Greece, India, Maya and other civilizations. my country has Dayu to control the water, and the West has Noah’s Ark. Are these Is it the common memory of the human race in ancient times?"

Xu Qingmu said: "Indeed, at the beginning of the world, there was no barrier between humans, gods, ghosts and demons, and they should have a common culture and language. But later, the human race gradually dispersed to various places."

Wen Lun's speech was also leading in this direction. He talked for a while, and then stopped to let the audience think and digest for themselves.After a while, some audience asked: "Then you mean that at the beginning of the world, the beliefs of the human race should be the same, and our gods should also be the same. But now, between different religions, Who is following the ancient orthodoxy?"

Wen Lun said: "They are all orthodox. In fact, among all the gods, at the highest level, there is only one supreme god in the universe. It is the one who created this world and guards it. The human race personified it. , let him have an image and a name. But in fact, it has no form, no sadness or joy. Taoism calls it Tao, Buddhism calls it cause and effect, and materialists call it objective law. They are all right, it is the only one in the universe God, the only belief that all living beings in the world should aspire to."

The last paragraph was full of emotion, and the eyes were warm. The audience in the audience were inspired by such words, and their eyes became brighter.

Xu Qingmu frowned, turned to look at Song Jue and said, "What he said is true. It's just that the tone of his speech is weird and too provocative, and these audiences believe in him too blindly. And This belief will bring him the power of faith, he is so powerful that we can't even catch him, it is because of the power of faith."

Song Jue said: "Whatever he says, anyway, this is a standard cult, we can call the police."

Speaking of Song Jue having sent a text message to Wang San, Wen Lun on the stage continued to say without hurry: "Although the god of the universe has warned the human race with a big flood, the stupid human race still did not restrain themselves, and even worsened. Up to now, the originally clean world has been ruined and filthy by the human race. The god of the universe will definitely punish the human race again, and we, as the servants of the god of the universe, will dedicate our humble souls to make this world a new place. Go back to cleanliness and let all creatures be free."

At this point, Wen Lun's speech ended. He bowed slightly to the audience, and all the audience stood up, applauding thunderously, vying to express their willingness to dedicate their souls to this lofty ideal.When Wen Lun heard this, he choked up and said, "Everyone is righteous. No matter where your souls are, you will find ultimate peace."

Then, the audience said goodbye to Wen Lun one by one, and walked out of the meeting room with a pious and satisfied expression.

In the end, Xu Qingmu and Song Jue were naturally left behind. They faced Wen Lun face to face. Wen Lun smiled at them reservedly and politely, and then jumped off the podium.

The process of jumping touched the wound with arrows and charms, and the pain made his expression distorted, but he walked over to face the two, still in a graceful manner, and said softly, "Master Song, we meet again."

Xu Qingmu raised his eyebrows and said, "You are not Wen Lun, but you still call me the head. It seems that we are indeed related in our previous lives, so you are a member of Lingyun Temple, and a traitor of Lingyun Temple."

Wen Lun chuckled and said, "The head is really sharp, nothing can escape your eyes. But if you want to say a traitor, I don't think I count. Head, you are the traitor, right?"

Xu Qingmu's face darkened, and he said, "I founded Lingyun Temple, what kind of traitor am I?"

Wen Lun said leisurely and slowly: "Does the head still remember the original intention of the establishment of Lingyun Temple? And those bold words he said to us at that time?"

Xu Qingmu was a little dazed, and slowly searched for the vows he made in his memory.

"We are different from those so-called righteous people. We don't want the rules of the righteous way to bind our hands and feet, and we will always be free."

"Do people have to be clean and noble? No, all living beings are equal in this world, and the Lingyun Temple is to take in these ghosts and monsters that are not tolerated by the righteous way."

After two lifetimes, Xu Qingmu is still doing the same things as before. He still takes in many creatures that are not tolerated by the righteous way, and he doesn't feel that he has violated his previous oath.

But Wen Lun didn't think so, he looked at Xu Qingmu fixedly, and said, "You still came together with those dirty righteous people to help the evildoers."

"Wait." Song Jue said dissatisfiedly, "I think you're a bit off the mark. People are not necessarily clean and noble, but they are not necessarily dirty. At least among the righteous people you mentioned, there are many good people."

Wen Lun snorted, and said, "It's all about morality. Haven't you seen enough of the nasty things those so-called upright people do? Or those ghosts are more open-minded. They just want to live."

Xu Qingmu suddenly said: "It turns out that those ghosts are all related to you."

Wen Lun rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "Master, you finally discovered that all the dangers you have encountered over the past year are more or less related to me. Many times when faced with choices, I hope that the master You can rein in the precipice, see clearly the filth of those so-called upright people, and regain your original aspirations. But it’s a pity, until now, you are still obsessed with it.”

Hearing this, Song Jue finally became angry.

It turned out that this person put Xu Qingmu in danger again and again. He took a step forward and said, "You really have something wrong, think about it for yourself. In the past few years, you have made so many innocent creatures sacrifice for the so-called god of the universe." Life, they are all dead, and you have lived well for 1000 years, are you still shameless?"

Wen Lun said: "They are great. It's only a matter of time for me. When the time comes, I will also give my soul."

Xu Qingmu and Song Jue were speechless for a while.

This man has been brainwashing himself for 1000 years. He believes in everything he thinks, and it is useless to talk to him.

Song Jue rolled his eyes, and then said to Xu Qingmu: "Wasting time listening to so much nonsense from him, this person is no different from those crazy villains in movies, and he thinks his ideas are so great. But in fact, watching a few more movies will make you feel better." You will find that they are actually some scriptwriters playing with the rest of the villain's settings, childish second-year-olds who think they are passionate and righteous."

Xu Qingmu nodded.

What else is there to say?Just hit it.
