Chapter 471

At noon, in the shuoyang Taoist temple on the east side of shuoyang city in the state of Yue, in one of the indirect guest rooms in the cangsheng hall, a white haired old Taoist dressed in bright yellow Taoist robes was receiving pilgrims who came to receive "Jian Yueling Pendant".

"What's the name of the little lady?" the white haired old man stroked his long beard and said kindly to the beautiful young woman in front of him.

"Taoist priest, the name of the little girl Fang of the people's wife is Suqi. This is her people's card." a middle-aged woman who came with the young woman hurriedly handed over a rectangular small iron card, which is the people's card issued by the government.

"Su Qi was born in the 43rd year of Zhengshi in shuoyang City, Pingyang Prefecture"

The white haired Taoist priest took over the government and people card and looked at it. The iron card was engraved with the above words on the front and the official seal of shuoyang city on the back. After confirmation, Meng Shengming returned the iron card to the woman.

The white haired Taoist priest took out a piece of white square wooden plates from the exquisite wooden box on one side. There are still many same wooden plates in the exquisite wooden box. There is a vivid fairy carved on the front and back of the wooden card, which is the Jane Moon Fairy.

The white haired old Taoist picked up the green bamboo pen on the table, dipped it in the blood red cinnabar on one side, filled it with spiritual power, and wrote two small characters Su Qi above the fairy pattern on the back of the wooden card.

Then he put away his smile and said solemnly, "almsgiver Su, Jane Moon Fairy, is a real fairy in the fairy world. Zhong lingyuxiu, based on compassion, protects all sentient beings and has boundless merit and virtue. Almsgiver, would you like to sincerely worship Jane Moon Fairy? Pray for the protection of the fairy?"

"Little girl Sookie, may she worship Jane Moon Fairy all her life, and may the fairy bless her all her life." Sookie combined her hands and replied word by word according to her mother's repeated instructions in advance.

"Almsgiver Su, as long as you sincerely worship fairy Jianyue, the fairy will protect your life. Please stretch out your left hand. I want to take a few drops of your blood essence and inject it into mupeine." the white haired Taoist said, so he used his magic power to take a long red needle from the brazier on one side and put it into a large bowl full of cold water on the table to cool down.

Seeing the long red needle just now, the young woman felt a little creepy. At the urging of her mother, she suddenly clenched her teeth, closed her eyes, stretched out Ben's clenched left hand, and her body trembled slightly. It was obvious that she was still very afraid.

The white haired Taoist priest took out the long needle from the water, grabbed the young woman's hand, pricked a needle on the index finger and middle finger respectively, squeezed out a few drops of bloody blood and dropped it on the square wooden card. He didn't let go of the young woman's hand until all the white wooden cards were dyed red. He solemnly said, "well, Jian Yueling pendant has been completed. Benefactor, you need to carry it close to yourself every day and keep it properly."

"Don't worry! Taoist priest, she will carry it close to her every day." the woman next to her took the wooden card, put it into the brocade bag prepared in the morning, put it into the pocket of young Yizi, and said with a smile.

"Little woman knows! Thank you, Taoist priest!" the young woman wrapped her left hand in a handkerchief and her eyes were red. After thanking the white haired old man, she got up and went out of the house with her mother.

"Xiao xuanzi, I'll be here for a while today. Let the pilgrims waiting behind go back first and come back tomorrow!" the white haired old Taoist said to the little Taoist at the door after seeing off the mother and daughter.

"Good Lord! By the way, magistrate he is coming and waiting in the backyard!" the little Taoist at the door replied.

"I see, go!" the white haired old man nodded.

After the little Taoist saluted, he ran to the front hall and let several waiting pilgrims disperse and come back tomorrow. Today, I don't know why I stopped receiving pilgrims at noon. It's really rare.

Soon the little Taoist smiled and cared about him! I thought: I can be lazy again today!

About a quarter of an hour later, the little Taoist was not happy. He and other Taoists in the temple were called to the backyard Taoist field and lined up in the scorching sun. Not only the Taoists in the temple, but also the officials of shuoyang city such as magistrate he and many constables and yamen servants.

The backyard Daochang is paved with large stones and is very broad. At the end stands a tall statue of Jianyue fairy. This statue is made of white jade. It is lifelike and ten feet high, like a hill. The fairy statue has wishful handprints on both hands, overlooking the whole shuoyang city.

Xing Qu, the leader of shuoyang Taoist temple, stood at the front of the queue with white hair. He was an 80 year old disciple of Huang Shengzong. He practiced Qi for eight layers and had no hope of building a foundation. First, he served as a "registered spiritual officer" at Pingyang Taoist temple in Pingyang City for ten years, and then he was transferred to shuoyang Taoist temple by the pope as the leader.

Shuoyang city is a small city with a total population of only more than 800000. Shuoyang Taoist temple is also a small temple. Although there is also a statue of Jian Yue immortal in the temple, it can not be generalized with the statue of Pingyang Taoist temple in Fucheng.

Though as like as two peas in the two immortals, they are only a small size. But the "Jian Yuexian statue" in shuoyang Taoist temple can not condense "Qing Ke Dan".

It is for this reason that Xingqu only practices nine layers of Qi cultivation to become the leader of this shuoyang Taoist temple. In addition to himself, there are two hired casual practitioners in the Taoist temple, one practicing five layers of Qi and the other practicing six layers of Qi. They are not young and are local people in shuoyang city.

The rest are ordinary Taoists without any mana. There are more than 150 people who help take care of the daily chores of shuoyang Taoist temple, such as the people in the city come to the temple to pray for blessings, offer incense, give vegetarian meals, etc.

There are about a thousand small temples like shuoyang Taoist temple in Yue. Some of them are not as large as shuoyang Taoist temple, and even most of the temple owners are casual practitioners hired by Huang Shengzong hualingshi.

When Xing Quchu was transferred to shuoyang Taoist temple, he always wondered why zongmen would spend a lot of spiritual stones to build so many Taoist temples that could not condense the "green guest pill", and also hired a large number of casual repairs to take care of the Taoist temple. Is it just to give the people all over the world "Jianyue spiritual Pendant" free of charge?

Until ten years ago, a patrol envoy of "Jian Yuexian sect" came to the Taoist temple. Accompanied by a senior deacon of the sect, he carefully inspected the shuoyang Taoist temple and secretly visited the reputation of the people in the city.

Xing Qu took the time to ask the deacon of zongmen to know that it was not the original intention of zongmen to maintain so many useless Taoist temples, but the death order under "Jian Yuexian sect".

As Xing Qu had guessed, these Taoist temples were established to give people all over the world a "simple moon spirit Pendant". Not only does Huang Shengzong need to do so, but all sects in the world are the same.

"Jianyue Xianzong" ordered that in the territory under the jurisdiction of tiantianzongmen, every town with more than 10000 people should establish a Jianyue Taoist temple, and issue "Jianyue Lingpei" to the people through the Taoist temple. If there is a war between sects, Jianyue Taoist temple cannot be destroyed. Those who violate it will be severely punished.

Xing Qu asked why the "jianyuexianzong" made this order and what benefits it had for the "jianyuexianzong"? But the sect deacon did not answer, or the sect deacon himself knew the deep meaning of the order issued by "Jian Yuexian sect".

"Look! There." when a group of people were sweating in the hot sun, the sharp eyed Constable suddenly pointed to the horizon and exclaimed.

Several streamers appeared between the mountains and white clouds in the sky. They were very fast. In the blink of an eye, they came over shuoyang city. Unexpectedly, there were four immortals flying with swords. Officials, captains and Yamen in shuoyang city below stepped on their feet and looked up. They looked excited and talked about it.

"Silence! What's the style!" magistrate he shouted to stop the people behind him when he saw the old master Xing looking unhappy.

"Xing Qu, the Lord of shuoyang Taoist temple, has seen four Taoist friends!" after the four sword lights fell, Xing Qu came forward and said with a smile.

"I'm" Xuanhan ", who came to shuoyang city to preside over the" spirit testing meeting "at the order of the Pope. This is Li Feng, the fourth younger martial brother, Liu Yu, the sixth younger martial brother, and Tang Zhi, the seventh younger martial sister." Xuanhan, the eldest disciple of Zhang Yuanzhen, nodded slightly in response.

"It's master Xuanhan, disciple Xing Qu's disrespect!" the elder Xing Qu immediately bowed and said. Although the other party looks young, the cultivation world only has a Taoist name after building a foundation. Xing Qu doesn't dare to rely on the old to sell the old.

"Xing Daoyou doesn't need to be like this!" Xuanhan smiled back.

"These two Taoist friends are worshipped in the temple! Huang Daoyou and Li Daoyou!" Xing Qu began to introduce the welcoming personnel behind him.

"Poor Huang Ci and poor Li Fengyu have seen four gurus!" the two old monks hired by Huang Shengzong hurried forward to worship and respectfully said.

"Li Feng, Liu Yu, Tang Zhi, have met two Taoist friends." the three hurriedly saluted.

"Master Xuanhan, this is the magistrate he of shuoyang City," Xing Qu said, pointing to a court official with a black hat and a blue striped tunic behind him.

"I'll take the officials of shuoyang City, he Niu, to meet the four immortals!" he Niu, the governor of shuoyang City, bent over and said. The officials behind him, the captains and the Yamen knelt down one after another and shouted, "villain, meet the four immortals!"

"Everybody, please get up quickly!" Taoist Xuanhan came forward to help he Niu up, and then said to the kneeling officials, captains, yamen servants and others.

"Will the magistrate he inform us of this" spirit testing meeting? "Taoist Xuanhan asked about the matter.

"Don't worry, immortal master. All the six counties and 78 townships under the jurisdiction of shuoyang city have posted announcements. In half a month, a" spirit measuring conference "will be held at the shuoyang Taoist temple in Fucheng. It will last for one month! And the county captains and yamen will tell each other day by day. The villagers and people of our government will come to take part in it!" he Zhifu hurriedly replied.

"Then magistrate he will take you back first! Then do a good job in the preparations for the" spirit Testing Conference. "Taoist Xuanhan looked at the dark people, sweating and frowning.

"Immortal master, I have set up a banquet in the" drunken dream building "in the city to welcome all immortal masters." he Zhifu said with a smile.

"Thank you! I've been on my way for a long time, so I won't go!" Taoist Xuanhan said politely.

"Governor he will go back first! The Taoist priest will greet the four gurus." old Taoist Xing thought that governor he wanted to invite him. He was afraid to annoy Taoist Xuanhan, so he hurriedly said to governor he.

"That official will leave first!" magistrate he dared not say more. He worshipped Liu Yu and hurried away with a group of people.

"Senior Xuanhan, please come with Xing!" old Guan Xing led Liu Yu and went to the quiet room that had been arranged for a long time.
