Thunder rumbles!
In Miaoying Temple.
Master Daoyuan was chanting scriptures in front of the Buddha statue. He sighed as he heard the thunder outside.
Two City Gods a day.
This is unprecedented.
Even if you are high and mighty, if you forget your roots, even the City God will fall to earth one day.
At the same time, Master Daoyuan made up his mind that it would be best not to let Junior Brother Dao Ji come to the temple again in the future. Although Junior Brother Dao Ji came to the temple with money, he also brought trouble.
One of the two city gods was directly wiped out by the Heavenly Dao, and the other was beaten back to an ordinary Yin messenger. This record...
He began to doubt whether Junior Brother Dao Ji was doomed to be unlucky. Anyone who got involved with him would not have a good ending.
"Amitabha, please forgive me, there is no such thing as a destiny of being doomed to fail in Buddhism."
Daoyuan reacted and quickly chanted Buddhist mantras to the Buddha statue to apologize.
…
…
backyard!
Lin Ye also heard the thunder and saw the flash of lightning.
Ye Zhiyuan seemed to have sensed something. When the thunder disappeared, he bowed sincerely to Lin Ye and said, "Thank you for seeking justice for me."
Lin Ye waved his hand, indicating that there was no need to be polite.
To be honest, regarding Ye Zhiyuan's matter, he went there for the sake of merit in the beginning, but later he realized that it might be related to the City God, and he was more out of curiosity, but in the end he was forced into no choice by the City God Li.
I just don’t know if there is still any merit in this kind of forced situation.
Lin Ye was somewhat expectant. Ye Zhiyuan bowed towards Dao Hai again, and then his figure gradually faded until it finally disappeared.
Huh!
Lin Ye and Dao Hai looked at the place where Ye Zhiyuan's soul was before at the same time. There was a bead shining with green light floating there.
"Soul-fixing bead!"
Lin Ye's eyes lit up. This was a good thing. He didn't expect that when Ye Zhiyuan's soul returned to the underworld, this treasure was left behind.
The Soul-Fixing Orb is something from the underworld and cannot be obtained in the world of the living. However, ordinary ghost messengers in the underworld do not have Soul-Fixing Orbs, so even the City God would not find it easy to get one.
Then Li Chenghuang must have paid a heavy price.
The Soul-Fixing Bead can fix the soul of a person and make it no different from a living person.
But this is only one function of the Soul-Fixing Orb. The Soul-Fixing Orb also has another function, which is to be used in Taoist practice.
Taoist practice is to cultivate the primordial spirit.
The original spirit is the soul of a person. Through continuous practice to strengthen the soul, when the soul can walk out of the body, it is the so-called night wandering state.
This level is not easy and is full of dangers.
When the soul leaves the body, it is like a baby, which is very fragile at this time. Moreover, if the time is not controlled well, the soul will remain outside the body forever after the time to return.
Therefore, Taoist practice begins with nourishing the soul, just as the Long Quiet Meditation Sutra that the Taoist master gave Lin Ye at the beginning was a method of nourishing the soul.
But it is different with the Soul-Fixing Bead. The Soul-Fixing Bead can stabilize the soul, and placing it on the body can warm and nourish the soul. The effect is more powerful than ordinary soul-nurturing methods, and there will be no danger in this night tour.
Lin Ye walked forward unceremoniously and grabbed the Soul-Fixing Orb in his palm. Just the first touch, he felt a sense of comfort in his heart, which was a reaction from his soul.
Dao Hai was just surprised, and was not angry when he saw Lin Ye taking away the Soul-Fixing Pearl. The Buddhist practice route was different from the Taoist practice route, and did not require the Soul-Fixing Pearl.
…
Shangyang County City God Temple.
When Lin Ye and Dao Hai arrived, the outer wall of the temple was charred black. This was the power of thunder.
Yang Chenghuang, oh no, now Yang Yincha, saw Lin Ye and Dao Hai, with a complicated expression...
Success is due to two people, and failure is also due to two people.
"Hey, isn't this Lord Yang? Why are you standing guard in person?"
The corners of Yang Jian's mouth twitched. If possible, he really wanted to step forward and slap this guy twice. This guy is so mean. Why did he become like this? It's all because of you. Don't you have any idea?
Unfortunately, he can't.
The young monk next to him is quite powerful, but his cultivation was confiscated by the punishment that day, and now he has only the strength of an ordinary ghost messenger.
"Whether you are a human or a ghost, if you scheme and scheme, it will eventually come back to haunt you."
Lin Ye sneered and made a few sarcastic remarks, but when he saw that Yang Jian didn't respond, he felt a little bored and walked into the City God Temple.
The statue in the City God Temple was still burning at this moment. It was the flame left after the thunder landed. Lin Ye's eyes began to scan the entire City God Temple. This time he came here to take advantage of the fire to rob.
Now that the City God Temple is gone, many good things are ownerless. He decided to plunder them before the next City God appears.
"Brother, do you see anything good here?"
Lin Ye asked Dao Hai, he had practiced for a short time and his eyesight was not as good as Dao Hai.
"Junior brother, this incense burner is quite good. It must have been passed down through several generations of city gods."
After listening to Dao Hai's words, Lin Ye picked up the incense burner in front of the altar, which was about one third full of incense ash.
"With such a small amount of incense, this City God Temple was built more than a hundred years earlier than our Miaoying Temple, so why is the incense not as strong as our Miaoying Temple?"
Yang Jian, who was standing at the door, listened to Lin Ye's complaints and really wanted to curse. Yes, the City God Temple was built longer than the Miaoying Temple, but Qingfeng Temple was very popular at that time, and people all went to Qingfeng Temple to burn incense and worship gods, and few came to the City God Temple.
At that time, the first City God of the temple could not survive the Qingfeng Temple and chose to leave. The second City God finally survived until the Qingfeng Temple declined, but Miaoying Temple rose again. As a ghost messenger under the first two City Gods, he witnessed the frustration of the City Gods.
Now he has become the City God. The Qingfeng Temple has declined, and something has happened in the Miaoying Temple. He thought it was time for him to rise, but he didn't expect that now even the position of City God has been stripped away.
The most important thing is that he cannot leave. When the heavenly punishment comes, he must accumulate enough merits to escape.
Lin Ye complained, but his movements were not slow. He directly covered the incense burner and put it in his arms, and then he looted a lot of things, and really collected a lot of good things.
Pack it all up.
These things may not be particularly precious in the other world, but if they were brought to the modern world, they would definitely be priceless.
"Old Yang, do you have any objections?"
After going out, Lin Ye looked at Yang Jian who was still standing there and asked with a smile.
"No... I have no opinion. This is no longer my property."
Yang Jian forced a smile on his face. He could see that this boy surnamed Lin was a black-hearted person. People said that when you meet someone in trouble, you shouldn't kick him when he's down, but this guy wanted to fill up the well.
"Old Yang, knowing your mistakes is the best way to improve. Just do your best."
Lin Ye patted Yang Jian's shoulder, picked up the package and walked away. Dao Hai looked at him and imitated Lin Ye's actions, patting Yang Jian's shoulder.
With just these three slaps, Yang Jian was almost beaten to pieces.
"Well, do your best..."
"Will do."
Yang Jian responded with a wry smile, thinking to himself, MMP, I will definitely stay away from this pair of brothers when I see them next time.
…
Back at the house, Lin Ye was very satisfied with the great harvest. It was time to return to the real world.
This time in the alternate world, he returned to the real world midway to pause time, otherwise many days would have passed in reality and others would have thought he had lost contact.
"Brother, I have some insights into the matter of the City God this time. I may need to retreat for a while. I'll trouble you to look after my family."
"good."
Dao Hai agreed very straightforwardly.
"Actually, there is nothing special that needs to be taken care of, except for the yellow cow at home. This cow has a special habit and needs to be beaten several times every day to feel comfortable. During my retreat, I would like to trouble you to do it for me."
"Dabidou?" Dao Hai was a little confused.
"It's just a slap in the face."
"Amitabha, this is the first time I heard that there are cows with this hobby. The cows in my junior brother's family are really unique."
"Well, that beast is indeed special, so I'll leave it to you, Senior Brother."
After giving the instructions, Lin Ye returned to his yard and set the idle mode, this time choosing to idle for a month.
Back to reality.
Ten o'clock the next morning.
Lin Ye picked up his phone and found many unread messages, 90% of which were from Zhong Shan.
"Mr. Lin, good morning!"
【Sun Expression】
"Is Mr. Lin up?"
"Mr. Lin, if you see this message, please reply to me and I will add you to the alien group."
…
In addition, there are advertising messages sent by other friends.
"Yeah, I overslept."
Lin Ye replied to the message, and within a minute, he received a reply from the other side.
"It's normal. Young people of Mr. Lin's age usually get up at this time. I was negligent. I'll create a group for you."
Soon Lin Ye received a group invitation notification. After entering, he found that in addition to Zhongshan, there was another group member named Nanshan Lao Ren.
"Mr. Nan, this is Mr. Lin."
Zhong Shan sent a message in the group.
Old Man of Nanshan: Fellow Daoist Lin, right? Zhongshan has already told me about your situation. Fellow Daoist Lin is quite powerful and can seal ghosts. I will now pull you into the group of aliens in our organization.
After hearing what the other party said and seeing the name, Lin Ye felt like he saw a big boss and replied politely: "Thank you then."
Nanshan Old Man adds you as a friend.
Agree to pass.
【Old Man Nanshan invites you to join a group of people of different backgrounds who love each other. Do you agree?】
Lin Ye clicked the "Agree" button and sent a message: [Thank you for your help (grin)]
The moment he entered the group, Lin Ye's phone started ringing non-stop.
[Tianluo Swordsman: I was lucky yesterday and got three grams of incense ash. If anyone wants it, I will sell it to you at a low price.]
[The Wolf of Lingnan: Oh, Boss, you are so lucky. I want it.]
[A lonely old Taoist: Wuliang Tianzun, Master Tianluo, leave me one gram]
[Old Man Nanshan: Damn it, I want...I want...Big Boss, please read the private chat, read the private chat! ]
Lin Ye looked at the group message, silently opened the private chat of Old Man Nanshan, and withdrew the message "Thank you for your help".
Three grams of incense ash is considered a big deal, but I brought back almost half a pound, and it turns out that I am the big deal.
