"Do you still have this ability?"
Li Yan was a little surprised when he heard this.
Buddhism has four heavenly kings, and Daoism also has four protector gods, namely Wang Lingguan, Zhao Lingguan, Ma Lingguan, and Marshal Wen.
Wang Lingguan Needless to say, Grand Spirit Official Who Corrects All in Heaven, the head of the spiritual officials, controls thunder and fire, collects plague and absorbs poison. It is said that "three eyes can see the world, and one whip can wake up the world."
Most Daoist temple gates are guarded by Wang Lingguan.
"Zhao Lingguan" is the deputy commander of Zhao Gongming, also known as "Black Tiger Altar Zhao Marshal". He is also one of the generals Thunder Department and Five Plagues Gods of the underworld. He is also the God of Wealth, in charge of the world's financial resources.
This Zhao Gongming has nothing to do with <Investiture of the Gods>.
According to Daoism and folklore, he was originally a Zhongnan Mountain person. During the Qin Dynasty, he took refuge in the chaotic mountains, realized Daoism and cultivated the truth, and succeeded in becoming a god.
Ma Lingguan, also famous.
Hua Guang Great Emperor, "Lord Ma Three Eyes", not only Hua Guang Sect Attendant is found in Xuanmen, folk incense is also very strong, and Horse King Temple is found in many places.
"Marshal Wen", relatively few people know about it.
But to be able to stand shoulder to shoulder with the other three, how can it be ordinary.
Its name is Wen Qiong, also known as "Marshal Wen, Earthly Deity and Illustrious General", it is "Kang Jin Great God" in heaven, and it holds the gold medal of "Unrestrained Heavens".
This sign is said to allow free entry and exit South Heaven Gate.
Not only that, he is also the number one Taibo among Ten Great Protectors of Mount Tai and one of the thirty-six generals under Great Emperor Zhenwu.
In Jiangsu and Zhejiang areas, on the fifth day of May every year, on the birthday of Marshal Wen, people will carry their statues in processions to suppress evil and eliminate disasters.
This person also became a god through human beings, which is very remarkable.
Of course, these are easy to say.
After all, there are many great gods in Xuanmen Attendant, each one more powerful than the other.
What surprised Li Yan was that Earthly Deity Sect could summon Marshal Wen.
In Xuanmen, the spirits are used to dispatch generals and raise soldiers and horses. Although it sounds majestic, what is summoned is essentially a negative thing.
In all the great temples and temples, there are Buddhas and immortal gods suppressing them, but they are just a gathering of incense and can be regarded as secular gods in name only, not even their avatars.
After all, <Heavenly Laws> is strict and cannot interfere in the human world at will.
But this is not absolute.
Some Orthodox Xuan Gates have sufficient background and connections. If they encounter a demon that they cannot deal with, they can file a yellow form and follow the formal procedures, or they can also invite Great Luo Dharma Realms to help.
To put it plainly, it is to shake people.
But whether it can be shaken depends on whether the background is strong enough...
"That's natural."
Seeing Li Yan surprised, Ling Yunzi whispered, "Earthly Deity Sect is created by Celestial Master Zhang JiXian on the basis of the North Emperor Sect."
"North Emperor Sect is good at controlling the ghosts and gods of the six heavens, warding off evil spirits and warding off disasters, while Earthly Deity Sect specializes in worshiping earthly creatures and practicing magic. Nowadays, many temple blessings are based on their methods."
"Furthermore, Marshal Wen's elevated status and status as the Daoist Dharma Protector are inseparable from the vigorous promotion of Zhang JiXian Celestial Master."
"That's it..."
After saying this, Li Yan suddenly understood.
Changes in human sacrifices can affect Great Luo Dharma Realm.
He is definitely not the only one who knows this secret.
If you manage it carefully, you will definitely gain something.
But this kind of thing needs to influence the policies of human dynasties and requires sufficient Xuanmen power to promote it, which is not something ordinary people can do...
"That is the highest peak of Qingcheng Mountain, Peng Zu Peak. No one knows why this place is named after Peng Zu..."
"But there is also a saying. Rong Cheng Gong, one of Eight Immortals of Shuzhong, is good at health cultivation and was once the master of Yellow Emperor, and Peng Zu is the descendant of Yellow Emperor..."
"It is recorded that Rong Cheng Gong was hidden in Primordial Chaos, and now Qingcheng Mountain is also there. There may be some connection between the two..."
"In Peng Zu Peak, there was an ancient temple, but the age is unknown. In Former Dynasty Da Xing, good believers in Sichuan raised money to build this temple..."
As Qingcheng's "Guest Receptionist", Ling Yunzhi is indeed eloquent.
Along the way, explaining the allusions to Qingcheng did not feel boring.
Following its finger, Li Yan looked up.
They have quickly reached the top of the mountain. This place is much higher than other mountain peaks. It is covered by clouds and fog, the snow-capped mountains are vast, and the peaks are secluded.
And on the top of the mountain, there is a palace.
Most of the palace walls are hidden in the snow forest, with only a few pieces of Golden Summit visible, which are particularly obvious against the white snow.
The climbing path is extremely steep.
The steps made of bluestone are almost right-angled, and the snow is slippery, so you may fall off the cliff if you are not careful.
Even if there is an iron lock next to it, it is still frightening.
Li Yan were naturally not afraid. They used the art of lightening themselves and climbed up the snow-white stairs. It didn't take long for them to reach the top of the mountain.
But among the white snow on the top of the mountain, there were red walls, gold tiles, green pines and cypresses, and a little Daoist boy in cotton-padded clothes was sweeping the snow, his face and ears turned red from the cold.
"I've met Uncle Ling Yunzi."
Seeing the two people coming up, the Daoist boy hurriedly stepped forward to salute, secretly looked at Li Yan, and said, "Uncle Master has already given instructions. If you bring an honored guest, you can go directly to the side courtyard to see him."
"Yeah, I got it."
Ling Yunzi nodded slightly and led Li Yan into the palace.
This Laojun Temple is mainly Attendant Lord Lao. In addition, Attendant also has Peng Zu and East Flower Emperor.
The things built by the previous dynasty cannot be said to be very exquisite, but the advantage is that it is located at the highest peak, the environment is beautiful, the atmosphere is diverse, and it is also very elegant and quiet.
Although this place is grand, Li Yan has seen so many Daoist temples that he can even guess the regulations and has no intention of visiting.
But as soon as he entered Laojun Temple, he stopped.
The ultimatum in my arms was trembling faintly!
This is not a discovery mission.
Instead, they found similar ones.
This happened when we first arrived in Fengdu and found other Living Underworld Messenger.
But this time, something is different.
The source of the tremor actually comes from the thunder talisman on the back of the Gouji!
At this moment, Li Yan suddenly understood the reason.
That Daoist priest Jue Chenzi is probably the same as him!
"Young Hero Li, what's wrong?"
Seeing him stop, Ling Yunzi asked quickly.
"Nothing."
Li Yan shook his head slightly and continued to follow behind him.
It is not an easy task to build a Daoist temple on the top of such a high mountain. Moreover, the mountain is not a spiritual orifice. It is entirely donated by believers, so the area is naturally not large.
Passing through the corridor of the main hall, we soon arrived at the side courtyard.
Before the two of them got close, they saw Old Taoist wearing a bright yellow cassock walking out of the side courtyard.
This Old Taoist has a stooped figure, white hair and beard, and two long-lived white eyebrows that hang directly to his chest. He looks very old.
He even had a cane in his hand.
"I've met my great uncle!"
Ling Yunzi saluted, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes.
Jue Chenzi This cassock is very luxurious, embroidered with Yu Luo Xiao Platform, pagodas, cranes, unicorns, dragons, phoenixes, auspicious clouds and other patterns.
Daoism also pays attention to the color of cassocks.
Yellow represents dignity and holiness.
Either it is worn by a royal Ancestral Temple Daoist, or it is the leader of a sect, and it must be on a specific occasion.
At the time of the altar, most of them were still purple and red.
In short, yellow cassocks are very rare.
Jue Chenzi is of high seniority to Qingcheng Mountain, so he is naturally qualified, but this is the first time Ling Yunzi has seen him wearing yellow robes.
Moreover, he also wears a purple gold jade crown on his head.
What is this going to do?
Then Jue Chenzi Old Taoist naturally saw that Ling Yunzi was confused, but did not explain it at all. Instead, he looked at Li Yan with cloudy eyes and said calmly, "Come in, I'll tell you something privately."
"Yes, senior."
Li Yan is handed over in true color.
He vaguely understood something.
This Old Taoist wore a yellow robe to see him, which probably represented his identity as an envoy from heaven.
Ling Yunzi was not invited, but he did not dare to get angry, but carefully stayed outside.
After Li Yan and Jue Chenzi entered the hospital, he was even more shocked.
Within Laojun Temple, Divine Ability cannot be banned.
But as the two entered, they felt nothing.
Obviously, there were some things she didn't want him to hear.
Ling Yunzi felt even more strange.
The head teacher said that he wanted to teach the Dharma.
But now it seems that there is something else going on.
What secrets even the headmaster has to hide...
Jue Chenzi is very old, and his Qi and blood are almost exhausted. Although he has profound spiritual knowledge, he still walks tremblingly.
Walking slowly in the snow with a cane.
"Senior, slow down."
Li Yan saw this and wanted to step forward to help.
However, Jue Chenzi waved his hand slightly and said calmly, "Slow is better, fast is better. Are you impatient?"
It's really baffling...
Li Yan There is a question mark on the forehead, nothing more.
After entering the main room, Old Taoist slowly closed the door and poured him some tea, lingering for a long time.
"Thank you, senior."
Li Yan couldn't figure out its meaning, so he had to do as he pleased.
After doing this, Old Taoist shook his cassock, sat on the chair opposite him, raised his eyes again, and looked up and down.
The cloudy eyes seemed to want to see Li Yan through.
"Senior, if you have something to say, you might as well say it directly."
Li Yan couldn't stand the sight of him, so he asked directly.
"I am the 'Heavenly Official'."
Jue Chenzi Old Taoist suddenly spoke, "The position of 'Heavenly Official' is somewhat similar to Living Underworld Messenger, except that he acts under the orders of the Heavenly Court, mainly to catch those who offend <Heavenly Laws>."
"Heaven official?"
Li Yan was thoughtful after hearing the words.
The secret strategy he got from Liu Gang said that "Living Underworld Messenger" was called "Mount Tai Guest" and "Yellow Springs Messenger" a long time ago.
Orthodox Xuan Gate has a similar situation, but it is rarer.
Even Liu Gang, I only met him once and had no communication with him.
It turns out that this profession is called "Tianguan".
Jue Chenzi Old Taoist took a sip of tea and continued, "Most of the people who get the position of 'Heaven Official' are Orthodox Xuan Gate, and Orthodox Xuan Gate people rarely get the ultimatum."
"Pindao is a little curious, why do you have two jobs?"
Now that the matter has come to this, Li Yan no longer hides it, and said curiously, "Junior doesn't know, I dare to ask senior, how do you know my identity?"
Jue Chenzi Old Taoist was silent for a moment, "Some time ago, a golden-armored god told Old Taoist about this in a dream."
"Old Taoist is about to die soon. Why did Heaven choose you? Old Taoist no longer wants to know, but there must be something special about you and things can be passed down."
After saying that, he stood up shakily and carefully took out an exquisite wooden box from the ancient shelf next door.
He stroked the wooden box with his withered right hand tremblingly, shook his head and said, "Old Taoist's lineage is Earthly Deity Sect, which passed down to some disciples, but they were unable to inherit the essence."
"In your hands, it will be more useful."
As he spoke, he opened the wooden box and took out a few books from inside.
The manuals are all wrapped in brocade and silk, using thick yellow paper and written with cinnabar. The handwriting is neat and has a hint of majesty.
Old Taoist said in a deep voice, "Earthly Deity Sect is from the Beidi lineage. And North Emperor Sect evolved by absorbing the essence of Celestial Master's method of recruiting gods and generals, and the impeachment of the names and taboos of ghosts and gods by the Three Emperors Faction."
"Among North Emperor Method, they are divided into Earthly Deity Method, Tianpeng Method, Fengdu Method, Demon King Method, Zhenwu Method. Old Taoist was ordered to teach you two methods in a dream."
Li Yan's heart moved, "I wonder which method it is?"
Jue Chenzi Old Taoist shook his head and said, "North Emperor Method is profound and profound. How can Old Taoist learn everything? I just keep it for you. As for what you want to learn, it's up to you."
Li Yan's heart was pounding.
What Old Taoist said is incomprehensible.
But he had a vague feeling that along the way, he had obtained the position of Living Underworld Messenger and was selected by the Thunder Department. He seemed to be valued by many forces.
Which method you choose will determine how you will proceed in the future.
He hesitated in his heart and said, "Senior, can you tell me one by one?"
Jue Chenzi Old Taoist didn't seem to have a good impression of him, but he didn't hide the matter. He said in a deep voice, "All Beidi's methods naturally have their own merits."
"Tianpeng is one of Four Sages of the North Pole, governing Beidou and Fengdu. Tianpeng Mantra is also the core method of the North Emperor Sect. It can be said to be number one in terms of killing, and it is also the foundation of Thunder Method."
"But it is difficult to get started with this method, and it is even more difficult to achieve results from practicing it. Even the poorest people have not succeeded in it."
"Purple Subtlety North Pole Jade Void Great Emperor, who rules the stars above, controls all laws in the middle, and governs Fengdu below, is the master of all the stars in the sky. Fengdu Method, is naturally the focus."
"Since you are Living Underworld Messenger, what cultivation is <Six Paths Scripture>?"
Li Yan shook his head and said, "No, it's <Luo Feng Scripture> and <Northern Ghost Emperor Scripture>."
"Oh?"
Old Taoist After hearing this, he finally had a good look on his face and said, "That's pretty much it. I haven't forgotten my roots."
It turns out that's the reason...
When Li Yan saw this, he immediately knew why Old Taoist looked like this just now.
It is rumored that people in the North Emperor Sect are extremely disgusted with Buddhism, and most of Living Underworld Messenger nowadays practice <Six Paths Scripture> and are mixed with Buddhist methods.
The misunderstanding has been eliminated, Jue Chenzi Old Taoist introduced it in more detail.
"This Fengdu Method can complete your inheritance. If you complete it, you can get 'Fengdu Nine Springs Command Talisman', 'Investigating Three Realms Ghosts and Gods Seal'..."
Li Yan's heart moved, "May I ask, senior, what kind of treasure is this?"
Jue Chenzi Old Taoist glanced at it and said meaningfully, "These two treasures are the treasures of Purple Subtlety North Pole Jade Void Great Emperor. If you get them, they will be Dharma Realm Mystical Power."
"It's Dharma Realm Mystical Power!"
Li Yan was stunned and stood up suddenly.
Of course he knows what Dharma Realm Mystical Power is.
Soul Hooking Chain, is one of them.
Jue Chenzi Old Taoist stroked his beard and said, "Those who practice Fengdu Method are also rare, just because they have to follow the black law of Fengdu, but since you have become Living Underworld Messenger, you can avoid this law and can complete the inheritance."
"I know <Luo Feng Scripture> needs to build six palaces. If you practice as usual, you can only get Divine Ability, the ordinary underworld. If you get Fengdu Method, when you build the last two palaces, you can get 'Fengdu Nine Springs Command Talisman' and 'Investigating Three Realms Ghosts and Gods Seal'."
Li Yan's heart was pounding, "What's the difference between these two types of Divine Ability and ordinary <Luo Feng Scripture>Divine Ability?"
Old Taoist glanced at it, "Officials and officials."
Li Yan is blessed to the soul, "Learn this method!"
