Ling Mountain.
One of Azure Cloud Seven Waters Thirteen Peaks.
There are two villages and towns in the east and west at the foot of the mountain. They live and work in peace and contentment under the governance of the mountain god.
A few years ago, a copper mine was discovered on the mountain. The mountain god told the people in a dream that the population would soon increase sharply, and it seemed to be developing into a small town.
This day.
Wu Ming transformed into a miner and blended into villages and towns.
Demonic monks have experienced a lot of life and death, and are more cautious in fighting than the righteous ones. They will never underestimate Azure Cloud Mountain God who has just been promoted to Nascent Soul, let alone fighting on someone else's territory.
You must know yourself and your enemy. If you can use traps, poisoning, sneak attacks, etc., that would be great!
No amount of dignity or morality is as useful as living.
It's a pity that Wu Ming doesn't like the female monk, and the male colleagues don't want to have a close relationship with him, otherwise they will call on their friends to join forces to surround and kill him.
"First inquire about the information, determine the temperament of this mountain god, and then set a targeted trap!"
Wu Ming Divine Sense envelopes Ling Mountain, and Mountain God Temple is naturally within its scope. Several Qi refining and Foundation Establishment monks in the temple are responsible for guiding the people to offer incense, and also distribute some spiritual charms such as keeping their homes safe and curing diseases.
On weekdays, after practicing, it is inevitable to drink, have fun and talk loudly.
Ling Mountain is under the command of Green Cloud Mountain, so he will naturally talk about Azure Cloud Mountain God, and the discussion in private is the most true.
Half a month later.
Wu Ming left Ling Mountain with a strange look on his face.
"Azure Cloud Mountain God is really notorious? He is greedy for money, lustful, flattering, and asks the court for bandit-suppressing spiritual objects. In the blink of an eye, he plunders Storage Bag..."
"This guy is even more evil than a poor man. How can he be qualified to worship Mending Heaven Sect?"
Feeling doubtful, Wu Ming needed to investigate clearly to avoid falling into a trap, so he changed the hilltop to investigate.
One year later.
Green Cloud Mountain and the surrounding cities, Wu Ming, have visited Great Heng Capital Flying Immortal Pavilion secretly, and are very sure that Azure Cloud Mountain God is Heretical Devil.
Coming out of the Flying Immortal Pavilion, I feel a little heartbroken.
"Is this too expensive? I didn't do anything, and I lost a batch of pills in just a few days. It is said that the mountain god often lives for three to five months. I really don't feel bad for wasting the imperial court's spiritual treasures!"
Wu Ming was despised and somewhat envious in his heart. He was running around so hard that his wealth accumulated over hundreds of years could not compare to the newly promoted Nascent Soul.
"These corrupt officials really deserve to be killed, and I have to do justice to God for once!"
Say it.
He flew towards Chiming Prefecture with the escaping light, and came to Spirit Spring City under the jurisdiction of Fucheng.
South of the city.
Land God Temple.
Wu Ming lowered his light, made an invisibility spell, and bowed to Land God.
"Greetings to Fellow Daoist Bai, Wu Ming, please give me some advice!"
Wait for a moment.
The statue's face gradually distorted, changing into the appearance of Bai Suixin, and said slowly, "What does Devil Lord ask for?"
Wu Ming said, "The poor Daoist practitioner Thousand Eyes Divine Light only lacks one golden spiritual object..."
Before he finished speaking, Bai Suixin interrupted and refused directly.
"Are you trying to rob Chongming Eye? I can't help you with this matter. Recently, there has been an order in the Japanese religion to avoid conflicts with the Mending Heaven Sect. Wait for the matter of becoming a god to be finalized before we can compete."
"Fellow Daoist Bai is really a master of calculation!"
Wu Ming praised repeatedly and became more confident in this trip. He took out an elixir bottle from his sleeve and said, "This is Profound Yang Pill newly refined by Pindao. It can increase Nascent Soul Yang Qi and help the Yin God turn into pure Yang!"
In the Transformation God Realm world, Nascent Soul transforms into Primordial Spirit. The biggest change is to pass through the Lightning Tribulation yin god and pure yang!
In order to increase the probability of becoming a god, most Nascent Soul monks began to transform before going through the tribulation. There were even Tao Lords with profound knowledge and extraordinary talents who directly refined themselves into Pure Yang Nascent Soul.
Bai Suixin dropped the power of the incense, rolled the elixir bottle into the belly of the statue, and said, "This is not enough. Seeing Incense Divinity, Wish Power Pearl's value skyrocketed, the spiritual elixir dropped a lot."
Wu Ming cursed secretly and had to take out two hundred Wish Power Pearl and offer them with both hands.
"Excuse me, Fellow Daoist Bai."
"Easy to say, easy to say, Pindao, let's make a fortune!"
Bai Suixin promised well on the surface, but in his heart he despised Wu Ming. The dignified master Dao of Alchemy was so stingy. Junior Brother Sun promised two to three hundred pills a year. With such a big gap, who would die if you didn't!
After pretending to calculate for a moment, he said slowly.
"Three months later will be a good time. Although it is not an auspicious day, Fellow Daoist Wu has taken advantage of the luck. And if it is any later, Chongming Eye will have to be refined."
"Thank you, Fellow Daoist Bai."
Wu Ming Written down the days and already had a plan in mind.
According to Wu Ming's original cautious nature, he could secretly covet a certain treasure, Divine Ability, for ten or twenty years, and would not choose to take action until he had a good opportunity.
However, the treasures wait for no one, and they will be gone if they are too late!
"Fortunately, the corrupt official was so lustful that he got entangled with some of the Flying Immortal Pavilion's seductresses, so the poor man took advantage of this to attack him at close range!"
Spring March.
Good times on earth.
Green Cloud Mountain has opened up a lot of fertile land, and the people are busy farming, tired but happy.
These fields belonged to the mountain gods, so they were exempted from taxes by the court and rented to the common people under their rule. They only charged 30% of the rent. Farmers who encountered difficulties could also get credit.
Such a good thing has attracted many people to come to Green Cloud Mountain to work in farming.
When you encounter Mountain God Temple in the mountains, you will naturally go in to worship. The Incense and Fire Prayer Power you worship is pure and clean.
Azure Cloud Mountain God Temple.
main hall.
The four senior brothers lined up on the left and right, watching Zhou Yi take incense from the statue and condense it into an almost transparent Wish Power Pearl.
Gu Xiao praised, "Junior brother's method of governing people is really mysterious. According to the imperial law, one tax is thirty to one. You have obviously collected so much rent, but the Incense and Fire Prayer Power they worship is so pure?"
"Thirty taxes per one, I never thought that senior brother would actually know the Great Law of Eternity."
Zhou Yi asked, "What did senior brother do before practicing?"
Gu Xiao said, "When Pindao was born, the ancient family had been passed down for thousands of years. When he was young, he would listen to chanting sutras from time to time, which was to refine his body with spiritual objects to create a high-quality Dao Foundation."
"Junior brother stands too high, how can he know about ordinary things."
Ling Ming shook his head and said, "The imperial court has a thirty-year tax, and the state and county towns are not required to pay for miscellaneous expenses, especially those subordinate officials who are the most disgusting. The poor Daoist was successful in spiritual practice back then, so he killed a few Heavenly Prison jailers first!"
"Senior brother, why is this happening?"
Zhou Yi couldn't help but touch his neck. Fortunately, he wasn't in the Eastern Divine Continent that year. The gods and immortals living here had long since died in the aftermath of the fight.
Or with the name Blood Prison Old Demon back then, it was possible that a monk would come to him with a flying sword to slay demons and eliminate demons, and bring peace to Heavenly Prison.
"Back then, my father was framed by a villain and imprisoned in Heavenly Prison. Several jailors took turns bullying him, and he died of illness in prison before the case could be fully investigated. How could we not avenge him?"
Ling Ming's tone was calm, obviously he had already let go of the past, and suddenly sighed, "Looking back now, more than five hundred years have passed in the blink of an eye, and I haven't paid homage to my parents' graves for hundreds of years."
"The higher your cultivation level, the familiar people will all go away, leaving you alone walking alone!"
Pei Yuanzhou looked at the statue of the mountain god, pondered for a moment and said, "A mere ordinary grain is not worth a grain of Spirit Stone. My uncle is obviously tax-free, but he still harvests 30%. Is it because of the enmity between rice and rice?"
"Almost."
Zhou Yi nodded and said, "Not only will the common people not be grateful, but they will go even further and bully good people."
"It's interesting, it's really interesting. There is great truth in this commonplace thing."
Gu Xiao said, "After some time, I will refine a clone and integrate it into the life of mortals. I will use the red dust to comprehend the Daoist heart!"
Zhou Yi looked weird, Nascent Soul Dao Lord transformed into the common world, changing the fate of countless people with every move, he kindly reminded.
"Then you have to be careful about certain types of people, lest you provoke big karma!"
Gu Xiao said in surprise, "What kind of people?"
"For example, those who talk nonsense, those who change their temperament, those who behave strangely, those who are useless... and the four surnames of Ye Lin, Xiaochu!"
Zhou Yi said, "Don't mess with people who have one of these qualities at will. They are probably some old monsters or Child of Destiny. Not only will they not be killed, but they will become stronger and stronger!"
Gu Xiao frowned and asked in confusion, "Is the ordinary world really so dangerous?"
"Haha, Brother Master Zhu is just joking, Junior Brother Gu, please don't take it seriously."
Ling Ming couldn't help but laugh out loud. He had climbed up from the bottom. During this period, he had read many common folk tales, so he understood the plot of Zhou Yi. He was about to explain to Gu Xiao when he heard a woman's voice.
"Good brother, I haven't come to see you for a long time. I miss you..."
The sound is ethereal and ethereal, arousing people's desire intentionally or unintentionally.
"This devil has been snooping outside for a year, and finally he dares to come to the door."
Zhou Yi clicked his tongue and said, "She even pretended to be Daoist Miao Miao. At first glance, she told her not to go to the Flying Immortal Pavilion to spend money. She is a regular sect and has long had rules prohibiting going out to meet guests."
"Uncle Master knows so much, and I don't even know the rules."
Pei Yuanzhou had a strange look on his face and felt helpless towards this cheap little uncle, suspecting that Mending Heaven Sect's long-established customs would be distorted.
An Yunguang asked, "How should we arrange it and capture the demon directly?"
"Senior Brother An, don't worry, we are trying to catch a turtle in a jar!"
Zhou Yi chuckled and said, "Dignified Nascent Soul Dao Lord is pretending to be a female nun, pretending to be coquettish. Such interesting things are usually not seen, why don't you have to make a fool of yourself?"
"Interesting and interesting."
Ling Ming said, "We will also record the video and publicize it in the Eastern Divine Continent. It will definitely make the ancestors of the sect happy!"
"Wonderful!"
Zhou Yi said, "Then I'll go to the back Eternal Prosperity Hall, pretend to have a banquet and drink wine, and let the devil in?"
Gu Xiao reminded, "It's okay to play around, Formation Restriction can't be negligent. If we let this devil run away, it will be difficult for the ancestor of the teaching."
"Senior brother, don't worry, Eternal Prosperity Hall has deployed more than three hundred formations, and there are hundreds more formations in the temple outside."
Zhou Yi arranged these formations not to trap Hundred-Eyed Demon Lord, but to prepare for the Spirit Transformation Heavenly Lord to attack one day, so that he could withstand it for enough time to facilitate his escape.
After a while.
Eternal Prosperity Hall.
The spiritual mist is lingering and the aroma of wine is overflowing.
Zhou Yi took out the five-thousand-year-old Spiritual Wine. It was so true that the fellow students were pleasantly surprised and praised repeatedly that it was a worthwhile trip.
At this time.
Outside Mountain God Temple.
Wu Ming transformed into a Miaomiao girl, wearing a bright red palace dress flying in the wind. She was extremely graceful. She waited for a moment to see the aura of the formation shine, and a passage leading into the temple appeared.
After observing carefully for a moment, there are only some superficial formations, which can only bluff the Foundation Establishment golden elixir.
Wu Ming is proficient in formations and alchemy. It seems that such a crude restriction can be broken with a wave of his hand. He can't help but sneer in his heart.
"After all, he is just a new Nascent Soul. He was lucky enough to join Mending Heaven Sect and reaped so many benefits. Compared with the poor Daoist, his background is still shallow!"
Thinking of this, he pursed his lips and chuckled, then quickly covered himself up with his sleeves.
With light steps and graceful waist, she slowly walked into Mountain God Temple and came to the Eternal Prosperity Hall under the leadership of General Jin Jia.
"Mr. Lang, I miss you so much... Yeah!"
As Wu Ming spoke, he pushed open the palace door, his sad look instantly solidified. The five Nascent Souls in the palace all looked over and said in a stiff voice, "Mr. Lang, have guests today?"
Running Mana secretly, ready to escape at any time.
"Miss Miaomiao came just in time, Pindao is inviting senior brother to taste wine."
Zhou Yi introduced, "This is Senior Brother Pei, Spirit Transformation has hope in the future. This is Senior Brother An, leading the troops to guard the border. This is Senior Brother Ling Ming, whose escape method is mysterious, Nascent Soul Realm few people can compare to..."
Wu Ming Listening to the introduction, he was already horrified in his heart, but on the surface he was smiling, "I have seen a few seniors, but Miaomiao has never seen so many Mending Heaven Sect masters. He lost his composure for a moment."
The only real Miao Miao cultivation level is Foundation Establishment. Facing the digital Nascent Soul Dao Lord, it is understandable that he would lose his composure.
"It doesn't matter."
Zhou Yi sat in the main seat and praised the senior brothers on the left and right, "Miss Miaomiao has a well-known family and is the best at singing and dancing. Today we are gathering for a wine tasting, so it is just right to invite her to join in the fun!"
"That's how it should be!"
"Fine wine should be paired with beautiful women!"
"Wonderful!"
Pei Yuanzhou and others' faces were slightly red, which seemed to be caused by drinking, but in fact they had never been so dissolute and felt a little ashamed for a moment.
Mending Heaven Sect has strict rules and will not go to Pleasure Quarter to listen to music, let alone practice with outsiders.
Gu Xiao invited Zhou Yi to join Mending Heaven Sect, and he waited outside the Flying Immortal Pavilion for more than half a month!
"Then I will show my disgrace."
Wu Ming was relieved in his heart. It seemed that his identity was not exposed. As long as he fooled the wine tasting party, not only could he escape safely, but he could also sneak attack while he and Azure Cloud Mountain God were practicing together.
Go deep into the Longtan Tiger's Den, easily kill the Butianmen, and then float away!
When word of this happens, it becomes another magical tale!
Wu Ming has never studied dance systematically. He has seen a lot of dancing during banquets and discussions. According to the postures in his memory, he can easily imitate the movements exactly the same.
The clothes are flying and the long sleeves are flowing.
The body is weak and boneless, and lotuses grow at every step.
I have to say that Nascent Soul Cultivator is amazing. When she danced for the first time, she was no weaker than Pleasure Quarter. She danced like a fairy.
"Okay!"
Zhou Yi clapped her hands and praised, "Miss Miaomiao's dance is unparalleled, please do one more dance."
Wu Ming didn't dare to refuse and danced another dance.
I also saw Gu Xiao saying that she wanted to listen to music, so she sang softly and became a singer.
Afterwards, he danced several times and sang several songs. Seeing that he was still not allowed to sit at the table, Wu Ming had doubts in his heart and begged in his voice.
"Mr. Sir, I'm tired. Why don't you take a break and pour some wine for you?"
"Tired? How could Tangtang Devil Lord be tired?"
Zhou Yi shook the wine glass and teased, "I have seen not only ten thousand dancers, but also eight thousand. No one can compare with Devil Lord. They are really talented!"
When Wu Ming heard this, he didn't know that he had been exposed. Mana turned into an escaping light and crashed into the roof of the palace.
Buzz!
The aura of the formation shines, manifesting colorful restrictions, layer upon layer wrapping Wu Ming like a silk mesh.
"Pindao's formation looks simple, but that's because of the phantom formation. Other people's phantom formations create mist and clouds. I only make people relax their vigilance!"
Zhou Yi didn't even get up and handed over to the four senior brothers.
"Junior brother is not good at fighting, please trouble me to capture this demon!"
