Chapter 134: Sue Kunlun
Zhao State, the royal capital.
A new temple was built in less than half a month, which was a miracle.
This was mainly because so many people participated in the construction of the temple that there was no shortage of manpower. People took the initiative to work day and night and soon completed the temple. Once completed, this temple became the most popular temple near the capital of Zhao State.
The people of Zhao also worshipped many gods at home.
For example, people worshipped the God of Wind and Rain, praying for good weather for the State of Zhao; they worshipped the God of Grain, praying for a good harvest; they offered sacrifices to the God of Wealth, hoping for prosperity; they offered sacrifices to the God of Medicine, hoping for health and safety. However, these gods were invisible and intangible, so worshipping them was of no use; people prayed for psychological comfort.
The immortal master enshrined in this temple is the one who truly helps the people, so he naturally attracts more worshippers.
Outside the fairy temple, Li Yu, who concealed his face with magic, watched the people coming in and out of the fairy temple.
When they were worshipping in front of a statue, a trace of strange power emerged from their bodies and was absorbed into the statue.
The statue in the fairy temple contains a drop of blood that Li Yu refined using a special method, which can absorb the power of faith.
Li Yu can take back the power of faith accumulated in the statue at any time.
At present, among the people who come to the temple to worship, less than half of them can generate the power of faith, and it is basically undetectable. It is obvious that there are not many firm believers.
This is also normal. People are realistic. Those who are directly helped by Li Yu may be full of gratitude in their hearts, but why should those who have not benefited from it believe in him?
Outside the fairy temple, there is a large wooden box.
Believers who come to worship will write their wishes on paper and then throw them into the wooden box.
These people probably regarded him as a genie who fulfilled wishes, rather than a master. They were afraid that Li Yu had found the wrong person, so they even wrote the address on the wish note, down to the exact village and household.
In order to maintain the people's faith, Li Yu had no choice but to take out all the notes in the wooden box.
The content above is varied and covers all kinds of things.
Some people hoped that the immortal master could use magic to make his wife younger and more beautiful. Some people hoped to become rich overnight and prayed to the immortal master to give him 1,000 taels of gold. Some people asked Li Yu to bless him with promotion and wealth, and it would be best if he had a dead wife...
These notes actually accounted for the vast majority.
Li Yu burned those contents that seemed unreliable, tried to get something for nothing, or made extremely unreasonable demands.
But even among the remaining ones, there are dozens.
There was a young girl who had always been laughed at by people around her because of the birthmark on her face. She hoped that the immortal master could help her remove the birthmark.
There was an old farmer who had to walk several miles every day to fetch water. His life was extremely inconvenient, so he hoped that the immortal master could give him a well.
Some civilians are being bullied by the evil young man in the Prime Minister's Mansion. I hope the Immortal Master can take action and punish the evildoers...
…
These requirements were much simpler and not difficult for him to accomplish. It was just a piece of cake. Li Yu wrote them down one by one.
The way of faith, although he doesn't need to meditate to practice, but he can't gain the power of faith just by lying down. Fortunately, these things only need to be done once to gain a few permanent believers.
Li Yu couldn't help but think of the images in his mind.
That was obviously at the beginning of human beings, when they were still in the stage of eating raw meat and drinking blood. If one had absolute strength, one could become the leader and faith of the tribe.
But now, times have changed.
The people have long known about the existence of immortal masters and magic. It is useless to pretend to be gods and ghosts. If you want the people to believe in you, you must do something practical.
…
A village somewhere outside Kyoto.
"Why did you run out again?"
"Ugly freak, stop coming out and scaring people!"
"Go home quickly!"
"If I were you, I'd rather die..."
A group of boys and girls pointed and laughed at a girl whose half face was covered with a purple birthmark. The girl was already accustomed to such insults. She lowered her head, walked silently back to a small courtyard and closed the door.
But when she turned around, she was slightly stunned.
I saw a figure standing in the yard.
Although this was the first time she saw this figure , it was not unfamiliar to her.
The statue in the temple appeared in her mind, and the girl said in a daze: "Master..."
After a moment, the girl looked at the delicate face without a single flaw in the water curtain in disbelief, and her eyes suddenly filled with tears.
The water curtain slowly dissipated, and the figure had long since disappeared.
High in the sky, Li Yu was in a very happy mood.
This may also be one of the meanings of spiritual practice. For him, it is just a casual act, but it can completely change other people's lives.
If cultivating immortals means leaving the world, which requires cutting off worldly ties, severing all emotions and love, and practicing alone, then the way of faith means entering the world, achieving the supreme path with thousands of believers.
In a village in the State of Zhao, one morning, an old farmer got up and was about to pick up his shoulder pole to fetch water ten miles away. However, he was surprised to find a well in the corner of the yard in front of his house. After a moment of shock, he was ecstatic and said in a trembling voice: "The immortal master has appeared, the immortal master has appeared..."
Li Yu soon met the girl and the old farmer in the fairy temple, and he clearly realized that their power of faith was much stronger than that of others.
And because of hearing about their deeds, the power of faith generated by ten other people who came to the temple to worship was not as strong as that of one of them. One faithful believer was better than ten ordinary believers.
Although he didn't know how long he would be able to help people at this rate, everything is difficult at the beginning, and quantitative change to a certain extent would lead to qualitative change.
Li Yu took out another piece of paper and searched for the next target.
…
In Kyoto city.
Somewhere in a high-ranking compound.
A woman, with a ball of brocade stuffed in her mouth and her body tied up, kept struggling on the bed. A young man in gorgeous clothes, with his hands behind his back, walked slowly to the side of her bed, greedily looking at her plump and curvy body.
The young man stroked the woman's face with his hand, shook his head and said, "What good is it to follow a petty official? Follow me, and you will have everything you want. I will not treat you unfairly..."
Although the woman was still struggling violently, despair was already revealed in her eyes.
When the young man's hand reached for the skirt of the woman on the bed, the locked door suddenly opened from the outside. He turned around and said angrily: "How many times have I told you not to disturb me at this time..."
As soon as he finished speaking, the expression on his face froze, because he didn't know the person who walked in from outside.
This is the prime minister's residence. How did outsiders break in?
He had done many bad things in his daily life, so he was still unsure when faced with such a situation. He didn't care about the woman who had just been tied to the bed, and immediately said, "Someone, come quickly!"
Chaotic footsteps were heard from the yard, and more than a dozen guards rushed into the room.
Li Yu glanced around and actually found two cultivators at the third level of Qi Refining.
He only released a little bit of spiritual pressure, and all the guards, including the two cultivators, felt their knees weaken and fell heavily to the ground.
Li Yu looked at the young man. Among the papers in the temple, there were more than ten pieces, all of which recorded the man's crimes, including robbing women, committing crimes in the streets, and committing multiple murders. If these crimes were true, then he would not deserve to die ten times.
Li Yu did not execute him on the spot. The world of immortals has its own rules, and each sect has similar regulations. Immortal cultivators cannot directly interfere in the affairs of secular dynasties, especially they cannot use magic against mortals, otherwise, the secular dynasties will be in complete chaos.
Even though this rule did not apply to Li Yu, he still did not make an exception.
He waved his sleeves and flew away with the woman and the young man who had already been frightened silly.
Not long after, in a government office in the capital of Zhao State.
In the court, the young man looked confused and confessed the crimes he had committed word by word.
An official in the hall was terrified after hearing what he heard. The person in front of him was the only grandson of the prime minister. Even if he had committed many crimes, beheading him ten times would not be too much. Could he really not handle it?
After dealing with the other party, his position was also over.
But the one who sent him here was another immortal master. Although he was puzzled that the immortal master, who was so high and mighty, would interfere in worldly affairs, he did not dare to neglect him. He immediately put the young man in jail and promised to give an explanation to the immortal master and the people.
Outside the court, countless onlookers were talking about the situation.
"Zheng has done so many evil things that his death is not a pity!"
"Master Immortal has finally eliminated harm for the people..."
"My son can finally rest in peace in peace. Starting tomorrow, I will go to the temple to worship every day!"
…
Li Yu handed the man over to the government and left amid the kowtows of the crowd.
But soon, people and horses rushed to the government office, and a middle-aged man asked in a deep voice: "Where is the young master?"
The county magistrate said terrifiedly: "Yes, in the prison..."
The middle-aged man snorted coldly and said, "You are so bold that you dare to arrest people from the Prime Minister's Mansion. Release the young master immediately. If anything goes wrong with the young master, watch out for your head!"
The county magistrate was really in a dilemma. One was the prime minister, and the other was an immortal master. Which one could he afford to offend?
In the end, he had no choice but to let them go. The Zheng family was not only the prime minister's family, but it was said that there was also an ancestor in the foundation-building stage in the Kunlun sect. That was an old monster who had lived for more than two hundred years and was definitely more powerful than the young immortal master.
In contrast, he still made what he believed to be the right choice.
This is the only choice he has.
Zheng Yuan came out of the county jail, and the middle-aged man next to him said to him: "Young Master, don't worry. That man should be a disciple of Kunlun Sect. Kunlun has sect rules. Immortal cultivators cannot interfere in worldly affairs, let alone attack mortals. If he dares to embarrass you again, the ancestor will report him to Kunlun..."
Zheng Yuan walked out of the county government office, curled his lips in disdain, looked at the crowd of onlookers, and said indifferently: "Haha, so what if you are an immortal master, what can you do to me?"
Everyone was angry but dared not say anything. They did not expect that even the immortal master could not bring this evil villain to justice.
As soon as this thought came into their minds, a thunder suddenly sounded in their ears.
People were horrified. It was noon and there was not a cloud in the sky, so where did the thunder come from?
Then, they saw a bolt of lightning falling from the sky and striking the young master of the Zheng family directly on the head.
Zheng Yuan, who had been so arrogant and domineering just now, fell to the ground immediately, twitched a few times, and was no longer moving.
This sudden scene caused the whole place to fall into silence.
Soon, the crowd burst into cheers.
"God has eyes!"
"This evil villain has finally been punished by God!"
"What kind of divine punishment? It must be the Immortal Master who took action!"
The young master of the Zheng family, who had committed many evil deeds, was brought to justice by thunder. The people were all cheering. The people of the Zheng family had not expected this. They were terrified and quickly carried Zheng Yuan's body away in a panic.
Once this matter got out, the threshold of the immortal temple not far outside the city was almost broken by the people living near the royal capital.
The invisible Li Yu was suspended in the void, feeling the power of faith surge below.
Before, he had always helped a specific person, but this time, he was getting rid of harm for the people, and all the people benefited. Suddenly, many true believers were added, so it was worth his making an exception.
He didn't want to break the rules, but since secular laws were useless to him, he had to take action himself.
Because of his occupation in his previous life, he particularly hates this kind of people.
After dealing with these matters, Li Yu returned to Kunlun.
The headmaster is in seclusion, and there are many things in the sect that need him to deal with. He also has to study magic with Senior Sister Qin regularly, and maintain the believers. He has been very busy recently.
On this day, Li Yu was practicing when a disciple from Yuxu Peak sent him a message saying that the sect had something that needed his attention.
As the head disciple, Li Yu has considerable power. Generally speaking, matters involving resource allocation require discussion by the elders, but he has the right to deal with all other matters.
It can even be said that when the headmaster is not around, he is the acting headmaster.
After arriving at Yuxu Palace, Li Yu learned from the deacon disciple that a sect disciple had attacked a mortal outside and caused death. It happened that the mortal was the descendant of a foundation-building elder of the sect. The foundation-building elder then brought the witness and the disciple's portrait to report to Yuxu Palace.
This matter is actually not a trivial matter.
Kunlun is a righteous sect and has many restrictions on the behavior of its disciples. One of them is not to interfere in worldly affairs and not to use magic on mortals. If violated, the offender will be punished at the least and expelled from the sect at the worst.
Of course, how to deal with it specifically depends on the master.
Now let’s look at Li Yu.
In Yuxu Palace.
An old man with white hair and beard warned a middle-aged man, "The person you will see in a while is the master's disciple. His status in the sect is extremely high. I am far from being able to reach that level. You must not offend him."
"Don't worry, ancestor..."
It was the first time for the middle-aged man to come to such a wonderland. His heart had not yet recovered from the shock, and he nodded rapidly.
When Li Yu walked into Yuxu Palace, an old man who had established his foundation immediately bowed to him and said respectfully, "Greetings, Master disciple."
Li Yu waved his hand and said, "No need to be polite. I heard that you want to tell me about a disciple. Which peak is he practicing in? What's his name?"
The old man who was building the foundation said, "Master disciple, although I don't know his name, I have his portrait. Please check it carefully."
After saying this, he looked at the middle-aged man and said, "Quick, present the portrait to the head disciple."
You, a middle-aged man, were holding the portrait in your hand and were about to open it when you looked up at the person in front of you. You were stunned and did not react for a long time.
The old man who was building the foundation frowned and asked, "What are you still standing there for?"
The middle-aged man forced out a smile that was uglier than crying, and said in a trembling voice: "No, we won't sue, we won't sue..."
Who could have thought that the young immortal master was the disciple of Kunlun Sect's head master!
To sue himself in front of such a big shot?
He was so frightened that his legs suddenly went weak and he fell to his knees with a thud.
"A worthless thing!"
The Zheng family's foundation-building ancestor glared at him, picked up the portrait from the ground, and after opening it, his expression was also stunned. The next moment, he felt a sudden darkness in front of his eyes.
How could he be the master's disciple!
Li Yu took the portrait, glanced at the old man who was building the foundation, and said, "You have robbed a woman and killed people in the street. Elder Zheng, you descendants of the Zheng family are really outrageous..."
The old man who had established his foundation lowered his head and immediately said, "Master disciple, please forgive me. It is because I did not discipline my family strictly that this beast was born in our family. I will clean up the family and give you an explanation."
"Don't give me an explanation, give the people of Zhao an explanation."
"Yes Yes Yes……"
…
A major event happened in the capital of Zhao State in the past two days.
The powerful prime minister suddenly announced his resignation and retirement, catching many people off guard.
The Zheng family has dominated the State of Zhao for more than two hundred years and has survived countless generations of monarchs. Of course, there is a reason . The ancestor of the Zheng family was an immortal master who lived more than two hundred years. He protected the Zheng family and made them prosperous for more than two hundred years. Even the royal family had to be wary of them.
Over the past hundred years, the Zheng family has controlled the government and formed cliques for personal gain. The Zheng family members have disregarded the law, oppressed the people, and bullied their neighbors. The people dared to be angry but not to speak out.
This time, the head of the Zheng family not only voluntarily resigned from his post, but also personally confessed the many crimes of the Zheng family members and sent many of them to jail, which was beyond everyone's expectations.
It is naturally impossible for such a person to suddenly wake up.
They must have been under some unbearable pressure.
Considering the experience of Zheng Yuan being struck to death by lightning not long ago, it is self-evident what caused the Zheng family to take such action.
Who would have thought that the young immortal master actually possessed such great power that even the ancestor of the Zheng family had to retreat to this extent.
For a time, countless people from Zhao State flocked to the fairy temple, and the incense in the temple burned day and night.
In other temples of gods and immortals, they just worship, but the gods will never appear.
But this fairy temple enshrines a living fairy master, a fairy master who will really fulfill their wishes!
The ugly girl became as beautiful as a fairy overnight.
Old man Zhang asked for a well, and he got one the next day.
Those who were bullied by the evil young man wrote their wishes on a piece of paper. Within two days, the evil young man was struck to death by lightning, and even his family disappeared.
Although not everyone's wishes can be fulfilled, at least there is a chance.
Anyone who is not a fool knows who to worship.
After the fall of the Zheng family, Li Yu clearly noticed the surge in the power of faith. His efforts during this period were not in vain. Although the power of faith of one person was so weak that it could be almost ignored, when accumulated, the amount was also extremely considerable...
What’s important is that the magic power transformed from the power of faith is attributeless, and can be used to impact any spiritual vein.
If you can maintain this speed, you will be able to form a pill within a year.
