Southern China, Jianyang Prefecture.
This place is not considered prosperous, but it is the first city that has begun to take shape on the road from Hongze to the imperial capital of the Divine Dynasty.
Along the way, Ziyang made countless connections, and the road signs were covered with seals, so he finally arrived safely.
If there were no connections left by King Donglong, they might have been detained by the land lord there as soon as they arrived in the territory of China to find out their whereabouts.
Naturally, he would not be afraid of other people. He would not be afraid of slanted shadows if he was upright. He could just explain his purpose directly.
But for now, Ziyang is still unwilling to expose the fact that the two of them came from Hongze, and will downplay it if possible to avoid any trouble.
"We're here."
Zi Yang lifted the car curtain and cupped his hands towards the pony, thanking him for seeing him off all the way.
Then he turned his head and looked at the young man who was sleeping with his eyes closed.
Shen Yi slowly opened her eyes, her eyes a little cold.
The pony was swaying its tail leisurely, but the moment it met these eyes, it stopped moving instantly. Its eyes swept back and forth on Zi Yang and Shen Yi, and finally fell on the ink-clad shirt. On the body.
The young man who was previously gentle and reserved showed such cold murderous intent as soon as he arrived at Jianyang Mansion.
It's hard not to doubt that this person is here to cause trouble, right?
Fortunately, Shen Yi quickly noticed this and quickly calmed down.
The pony was silent for a moment and then raised its tail again.
No matter what his intentions are, given the strength of the other party, it will be difficult to create a prodigal son in Jianyang.
After the two got off the car, it slowly pulled the carriage back along the way it came.
"What happened?"
Ziyang looked at him in confusion. Purple-bearded Bailong was extremely sensitive to changes in emotions, and he also sensed something was wrong with Shen Yi.
"nothing."
Shen Yi took a breath and rubbed her temples as she felt a slight headache.
Things were more troublesome than I expected.
He had heard that the Immortal Court and the Divine Dynasty had contacts, but he did not expect that the connection was so close. In other words, people on the earth could go up at any time, and immortals in the sky could come down at any time.
Zi Ling went to the Royal Horse Supervisor to collect the horse with the immortal order, most likely intending to descend to earth.
Shen Yi didn't know what the other party's purpose was. He would only plan things in the worst direction. If the woman wanted to go to Hongze, it would be a big deal.
Therefore, his first reaction was to test.
See if we can resolve the matter directly, even prepared to lose the immortal position.
It is undoubtedly a very cost-effective deal to use Bi Mawen's errand to exchange for Hongze's temporary avoidance of future troubles.
So Shen Yi directly used the Great White Rhino Seal, seemingly to imprison Zi Ling and send him to the stable. In fact, during this process, whenever Zi Ling gave him a chance, he would kill him without hesitation. .
However, two problems were encountered here.
The first is Zi Ling's reaction, which makes it impossible to find any fault.
Secondly…
I don't know if it was an illusion, but Shen Yi always felt that the white rhinoceros immortal seal could not suppress the purple-bearded white dragon.
The woman's first reaction was not panic, but anger. When faced with the power of a true immortal, she didn't feel like her life and death were being controlled at all, she just felt embarrassed.
Shen Yi has only been practicing for a few years. It is difficult to imagine what huge changes will occur in a hundred thousand years.
Zi Ling has been in Xianting for a full hundred thousand years.
Perhaps, she is already ahead of thousands of creatures in Hongze, to a degree that even she is far from catching up with.
"Then let's go to the city. I've already said hello in advance."
Ziyang handed the road guide in his hand to the city gate guard. The city guard, an ordinary man, did not show any strange emotions when facing a heavenly monster. He just carefully checked the road guide and then turned sideways to let him go.
Seeing this, Shen Yi raised her eyebrows.
At first he thought this was just because the city guard had his back to the divine dynasty, but after he stepped into this majestic city, the sight that came into his sight made his heart slightly agitated.
I saw people coming and going on the long street, similar to what it used to be like in Daqian. Most of the pedestrians were just ordinary people.
Occasionally, monks would pass by, but pedestrians were used to it. There was no awe in their eyes, but at most some envy. There were even children playing in the street and bumping into the legs of the white-robed monks.
The monk just smiled, lifted the child up, exchanged a few words with the adult, and then walked away.
"..."
Shen Yi was silent for a long time and finally understood why King Donglong was dissatisfied with Hongze's current situation.
After seeing the situation in China, when I return to Hongze, I will indeed feel that something is wrong.
"In a place shrouded in imperial aura, a mortal's lifespan is five hundred."
Zi Yang raised his hand and shook his head with emotion: "If you live a long time and have a wide experience, you will naturally not have that kind of natural fear of monks."
Hearing this, Shen Yi quietly cast her gaze towards the roadside.
Who still remembers that his original wish was to find a place to live peacefully for three hundred years? In other words, if he had traveled to a place in the Divine Dynasty instead of Baiyun County, he would not have to do anything at all. This wish came true.
As the two stopped, they saw another ascetic with his bare right shoulder gently knocking on the door on the roadside. He clasped his hands humbly and said a few good words, and then asked the lady to hand over a bag of steamed buns.
Shen Yi's eyelids twitched.
If the scene just now was said to have past life experience, he would be able to accept it quickly.
But he really couldn't understand why a great practitioner who could even detect danger would be begging for food on the roadside.
When you reach such a state, do you still need to eat?
"What he begs for is not steamed buns, but imperial energy." Ziyang explained softly.
I saw the ascetic monk swallowing the steamed buns with satisfaction. As he chewed each bite, he also swallowed the light yellow mist stained on the steamed buns.
After finishing eating, he straightened his face, bowed again to the closed door, and then turned around and left.
"call."
Shen Yi suddenly had a good impression of this so-called divine dynasty.
After solving my own troubles, it would be nice to find a job in this world.
Thinking of this, he followed Ziyang towards the outskirts of the city.
…
A small temple on the outskirts of the city.
Two brightly dressed old boys moved a broken wooden table outside the temple gate, and a group of people lined up obediently.
Mortals only need a guide to enter the city, but monks...
To be honest, Shen Yi felt that in the divine dynasty, someone with a little bit of cultivation would be discriminated against.
These two old boys are eager to find out about their eighteen generations of ancestors, but if there is any stain, they will cast a scrutinizing gaze.
From the realm of transformation to gods, to Bai Yujing, there is no good look from the two of them.
"If you report consciously, you might be able to fill a gap. If you conceal your cultivation and enter the city, and are caught by the Land Master, it won't be so easy to explain..."
"Xian Ting and the imperial court jointly govern China. First, put your name with Tu Tu Ye, and he will help introduce you to the prefect of Jianyang."
Ziyang explained in a low voice. He knew that he suddenly changed from the Lord of Hongze to a wild monk queuing outside the Earth Temple. The difference was indescribable.
But now that he is outside, he can only tolerate it a little longer. "Tao realm?"
The two old boys finally raised their heads and stared at the young man in black clothes in front of them, and then looked at the jade slips on the table: "Nanyang Sect?"
"It's a small place with no reputation." Shen Yi didn't mind going through the process.
"That's Sanxian. He has good talent and profound cultivation. It's really time for him to come to the world." The two old boys had smiles on their faces and asked seriously: "Senior, can you make clouds and rain?"
After completing the path of harmony, one is no longer a monk. He should be called a Sanxian and has the qualifications to enjoy the incense of the divine dynasty.
"..."
Shen Yi fell into silence. If he had to say it, he would actually do it, but what he did was filled with dark clouds and evil winds.
But obviously, these two old men are not here to bring disaster.
He could only shake his head slightly.
The old boy was not disappointed and continued: "What about praying for disaster relief?"
Shen Yi continued to shake his head.
"Encourage childbirth?"
The expressions of the two old boys changed slightly. Jianyang is a small place, and it is not easy to find a talent that can be used in a big way. However, they can't do this or that.
After Shen Yi shook his head for the third time, the two of them finally sighed: "How did your master teach you? You only have so much cultivation and you don't learn any skills to help you. You can't help me with anything. Just take it." Why open a temple and erect a shrine and eat the incense of the world?"
"Don't worry, old fairy boy. This brother of mine is the best at killing monsters and is quite accomplished in slaying demons..." Ziyang just came over and was about to explain a few words, but before he could finish his words, he was interrupted.
"You are a white dragon, can you make clouds and rain?"
"Yes, I know a little bit." Ziyang nodded in astonishment.
"Okay, okay." One of the fairy boys took out the jade plate and stuffed it into Ziyang's palm: "Go to the government office to report within three days. Become a rain praying messenger and serve the gods. Your future is limitless."
The other fairy boy then looked at Shen Yi and explained helplessly: "In the land of the gods, how can any evil spirit dare to cause trouble? Even if there are a few escaped evil spirits occasionally, it cannot be solved by you as a loose immortal. I advise You'd better quickly learn how to make a meal, or concentrate on practicing and don't get involved in worldly affairs. After you graduate, you can go down the mountain to practice."
Eating...the art of eating.
Shen Yi lowered her eyes and looked at her palms, suddenly feeling at a loss.
Qinghua became an immortal official in heaven, and the followers who followed him were all eighth-grade supervisors, but he was actually disliked in the mortal world.
"Why."
The old boy glanced at him with relief.
It's the most embarrassing thing for an immortal like this from a small family.
If you were a large disciple, you would be hidden in the mountains and rivers, not exposed to the mundane world, and you only need to practice all the way up to pick up the fruit of the Tao.
If the lineage of masters has not been severed, say hello to the ancestors in heaven and go directly to heaven to become an immortal official.
The young man in front of me must have a higher level of cultivation than myself and others, but in the Divine Dynasty... there is really no use for him.
Neither up nor down, stuck in the middle.
If you really need killing methods, the opponent is not a true immortal and his level is too low.
This person can't let go of his body to do these things that are useful to the common people. The old fairy boys have seen too many similar situations, and it's really hard to persuade him.
After all, it is normal for a Sanxian to be somewhat arrogant and self-reliant on his status.
At this moment, a figure came in a hurry.
"The young monk has something important to do. I hope you will forgive me."
The ascetic monk with his bare right shoulder passed through the crowd and saluted everyone. Then he took out the Buddhist amulet and placed it gently on the table: "The young monk wants to see the land of Jianyang Mansion. Please spread the word to the two immortals."
The two old boys only glanced at the sign, quickly stood up from behind the broken wooden table, put Shen Yi aside, and saluted respectfully: "It turns out that the traveler has arrived, and I am not welcome from afar. Please come with me." .”
Watching the ascetic being led directly into the Earth Temple by two people, the remaining people seemed to be used to it and did not show any objection.
"..."
Ziyang tugged at Shen Yi's sleeves and said, "I was mistaken earlier. This person has a great background. Although he is not an immortal family or an official of the divine dynasty, he is a practitioner."
"What is a traveler?" Shen Yi looked sideways.
"It is a state of cultivation that belongs exclusively to the Bodhi Sect, one of the three religions." Ziyang looked towards the temple and counted a number with his fingers: "A disciple of the Bodhi Sect who can obtain the title of practitioner is at least comparable to a seventh-grade immortal official. , it’s possible that he’s at the sixth level, but given his age, he’s probably still junior in terms of qualifications.”
"The so-called practitioner, walking around the world, subduing demons with the body, and saving the common people, is equivalent to looking for a teacher. When the experience is complete, you will have the opportunity to worship under the disciple of a certain Bodhisattva, become a practitioner, and obtain the status of Arhat, status and strength. None of them are inferior to the fifth-grade immortal officials."
Ziyang's face was full of envy and he sighed: "It's a pity. This traveler is obviously in a hurry. Otherwise, if you make friends with him, you would have found a way to contact the three religions."
Shen Yi's thoughts were wandering, and what he was thinking was more realistic.
Even this traveler, who is equivalent to a seventh-grade immortal official, has to beg for food on the road... Isn't it true that he can't even beg for food?
Is it possible that we really need to learn how to give birth to children?
Relying on helping others give birth to children to deal with the purple-bearded white dragon in the sky?
"Don't worry, there are more people in Shenchao Prefecture. There is no shortage of people in Jianyang, but it doesn't mean there is no shortage of people in other places... If it doesn't work, we can still go to the major immortal sects to find a way."
The newly appointed Rain Prayer Master held the jade plate in one hand while comforting Sect Master Shen who suddenly lost his job.
"I thank you."
Shen Yi was just a little surprised. In addition, he had just experienced the treatment of Lord Immortal Official on Jin Shen. For a moment, he felt a little uncomfortable, but he didn't belittle himself too much.
It is normal to be frustrated, otherwise those Taoist monks would not be pushed around in the fairy court.
Now that he had registered his name, he turned around and prepared to leave.
Suddenly, the door of the Tutu Temple was slowly pushed open.
Accompanied by a short old man in ragged clothes, the traveler walked out slowly, then clasped his hands forward and said, "My dear fellow immortal, this young monk is polite."
"I just heard from my fellow immortals that you are very good at slaying demons. Is that true?"
"..."
Under everyone's gaze, Shen Yi slowly stopped, looked back, pondered for a moment, tapped his chin and said, "It's not bad."
After all, he doesn't seem to have done anything else in the past few years.
But if I remember correctly, it seems that Fairy Tong just said that there are no evil spirits in the Divine Dynasty who dare to cause trouble?
Hearing this, the short old man's expression changed.
As a Tutu of Jianyang Mansion, although he is only equivalent to the cultivation level of Heaven Realm, even if a true immortal who is idle outside comes here, he still needs to report to Tutu Temple.
I've seen so many capable people.
This is the first time I see someone dare to boast in front of a Monkey that he is good at subduing demons. Does this person not know what Monkey does?
"In that case, I have a merciless request from the young monk."
The young ascetic monk looked ashamed: "This is my first time going down the mountain to experience, and I really have no experience. It would be best if a fairy friend could accompany me, but the young monk does not have anything with him..."
Before he finished speaking, everyone around him, including Ziyang, felt their emotions fluctuate violently.
It's normal for a practitioner to have no external wealth. If he can't give anything as a reward, all he can give is affection.
It comes from the affection of disciples of Bodhi Sect, one of the three religions!
Ziyang tightly grasped Shen Yi's sleeves, wishing she could agree to it for him.
However, Shen Yi thought for a moment and then raised her eyes slightly: "Without external objects, the way of a traveler..."
As soon as these words came out, Ziyang's eyelids instantly twitched.
Why didn't I realize before that Sect Leader Shen was so thick-skinned that he dared to ask for Bodhi Sect's unique skills?
However, what made him even more unexpected was that the ascetic monk patted his forehead and said with a smile: "Ah, the young monk has never thought that this thing can also be used as a reward!"
Chapter completed!
