Simultaneous travel: I am proving the great way in the heavens.

Chapter 376: The Immortal Crimson Pearl Grass on the Three-Life Stone! Lin Daiyu's Secret!

"Thank you, sir." The City God first thanked him, then said, "There is a difference between Yin and Yang. The leader of the Luotian Army that occupies Yangzhou City, Luotian Emperor, is a master with great cultivation. I am the spirit of the underworld and cannot move forward. I can only trouble you to return to the human world and go there on my behalf to have a fight with Luotian Emperor. Since Luotian Emperor has such great cultivation, how can he cause such chaos in the human world? I hope you can persuade Luotian Emperor that since he has such great cultivation, why not become an immortal and enjoy longevity and wealth, why should he be attached to the prosperity of the human world?"

"I... Can I come back to life?" Lin Ruhai's eyes widened instantly and he looked at the City God in disbelief.

"It's just temporary." The City God said with some guilt, "I am only a third-rank official. Although I can help you return to the human world, your life span has ended and I cannot change your fate. However, if you can persuade the Great Emperor Luo Tian to change his mind, you will have great merits and achievements in the three realms. Who knows, you may be able to serve in the same court as me in the future."

When he heard that he could not really return to the world of life, although he felt disappointed for a moment, he soon realized that by taking the place of Lingyou Hou, he might have a chance to become a ghost god in the underworld.

Lin Ruhai suddenly had no other thoughts.

done.

Although he was a third place winner in the imperial examination, Lin Ruhai had the courage to give it a try. You know, as a third place winner in the imperial examination and the son-in-law of Rongguo Mansion, there was actually no need for him to get involved in a position like the Imperial Salt Inspector.

Although the position of Imperial Salt Inspector is fraught with dangers and it is rare for one to land safely, there is no doubt that if Lin Ruhai really becomes the Imperial Salt Inspector, it will be of great benefit to him.

After weighing the pros and cons, Lin Ruhai decisively accepted the position of Imperial Salt Inspector. Even though his wife and son died in this position, Lin Ruhai never backed down until his death.

Just from this point, it is enough to make people feel that Lin Ruhai is not lacking in blood.

And now, when Lingyou Hou offered him the opportunity to become the god of the underworld, Lin Ruhai once again mustered the courage to give it a try.

In the residence of the Imperial Salt Inspector.

Because Luo Tian's army captured Yangzhou City, although the military discipline was strict, both Jia Lian and Lin Daiyu denied the idea of ​​holding a grand funeral for Lin Ruhai in such a chaotic situation.

There was no shortage of white cloth and paper money in the simple mourning shed. This was something Lin Ruhai had prepared himself when he was seriously ill. There was even a coffin.

Lin Daiyu, who was crying, washed her father and changed his funeral clothes with the help of her cousin Jia Lian and the Lin family's servants.

Lin Ruhai's body had just been put into the coffin.

The next moment, Lin Ruhai suddenly gasped and sat up abruptly from the coffin.

The sudden resurrection of the corpse frightened countless servants to faint.

Even Jia Lian wet his pants, but Lin Daiyu, after seeing her father come back to life, was not afraid at all. Instead, she burst into tears of joy and threw herself towards Lin Ruhai.

"Master, master, master, master!" The butler, who was almost scared out of his wits, looked uglier than Lin Ruhai, the corpse who had just come back to life.

"Uncle Lin, don't say anything more. Change my clothes quickly. I've been entrusted by Marquis Lingyou to return to the world temporarily. I need to go and see Taoist Luo Tian who has occupied Yangzhou." Lin Ruhai gave the order concisely.

The title of Lingyou Hou made everyone stunned at first, and then Lin Bo was the first to react.

After all, as the steward of the Lin Mansion, he had to take care of all the etiquette and cleaning of the Lin family. That is why he did not realize for a moment that the City God of Yangzhou City also had a title of Lingyou Hou.

However, after reacting, Uncle Lin immediately started to follow Lin Ruhai's instructions, and he took out the clothes that had not been burned.

Taking advantage of the time to change clothes, Lin Ruhai said to Lin Daiyu: "Yu'er, although your father has returned to the world by chance, you are the one I am most worried about. Although your father's return to the world is short, this trip will definitely bring merit to the three realms. Maybe you can become a ghost in the underworld in the future. You and I will meet again one day, so don't be sad!"

When she heard that her father could actually become the god of the underworld, Lin Daiyu was so overwhelmed with sorrow and joy that she choked and fainted.

Lin Ruhai was frightened. After confirming that his daughter was only temporarily unconscious, although he felt sorry for her, he was not the kind of person who was sentimental. Moreover, if he could really help Lingyou Hou and persuade Emperor Luotian this time, it would be in the will of heaven. In the future, he would become a Yin Shen and would have the opportunity to take care of his daughter.

After leaving the unconscious body to the care of the old women, Lin Ruhai changed into the official uniform sent by Uncle Lin, and walked out of the gate accompanied by several servants and guards.

Just as he stepped out of the door, Lin Ruhai, who was wearing the official uniform of the imperial court, was caught by the former core members of the Cao Gang under Luofu's command.

As for the servants and guards around Lin Ruhai, they do have some fighting ability. Otherwise, how could they protect Lin Ruhai, the imperial salt inspector?

You know, the imperial court attached great importance to the salt industry and established a special armed force to deal with private salt dealers.

But even so, Luofu's men are at least as strong as a hundred men. How could Lin Ruhai's servants and guards be able to contend with them?

Yangzhou City was an important city with a lot of armed forces stationed there. The armor worn by Luofu's men were almost all taken from the soldiers stationed in Yangzhou.

When it comes to dealing with Lin Ruhai's servants and guards, he has an easy time.

Seeing that these Luotian army soldiers were about to attack him, even Lin Ruhai, who had come back from the dead, couldn't help but feel a little panicked.

He shouted loudly, "What do you want to do? I am an imperial envoy. You are committing a treasonous crime and this is an unforgivable crime. I am alone in this danger just to meet with Luo Tiandao, the Taoist behind you. How dare you be so rude?"

After all, he was the imperial salt inspector of the imperial court. Lin Ruhai would not call Luofu the Luotian Emperor like Lingyou Hou did. After all, a position like the Emperor needed to be officially conferred by the imperial court.

Since Marquis Lingyou called this Great Emperor Luotian a master with great accomplishments, then it would definitely be right to call him a Taoist priest.

When he heard that this official, who was wearing the imperial uniform and walking openly on the street, actually wanted to see his master.

The soldiers under Luofu looked at each other in confusion.

They are naturally loyal to Luofu. Because of the energy seeds created by Luofu, this loyalty will become stronger and stronger, and can penetrate deep into their souls.

Once it comes to Luofu, these people naturally become cautious.

Finally, a Cao Gang member said after a moment of silence: "Since you also want to see the emperor, then come with us, but don't act rashly, otherwise you will be killed without mercy."

This backbone member returned almost the same words to Lin Ruhai.

Although Lin Ruhai's face turned pale, he still followed the other party obediently.

Inside the Yangzhou prefectural government office.

After descending from the sky, Luofu directly occupied the prefectural government office in Yangzhou.

When he learned from his subordinates that Lin Ruhai actually came to visit him.

Luofu looked towards the direction of the City God Temple at the first moment.

In this world of incense and gods, Luofu certainly knows that his every move cannot be hidden from the eyes and ears of the underworld gods.

However, in this world, because the system of extraordinary powers is based on humanity, the source of their power, whether it is gods in heaven or on earth, comes from humans.

However, Luofu truly possesses the power to conquer the world.

Even if the Yin God knew about Luofu's movements, it would be enough to achieve the goal of changing the dynasty.

After taking a look in the direction of the City God Temple from afar, Luo Fu immediately ordered his subordinates to bring Lin Ruhai over.

In just a moment, Lin Ruhai, dressed in official uniform, accompanied by several subordinates, soon appeared in Luofu's sight.

Lin Ruhai is indeed a man of refined temperament, worthy of being the father of the Immortal Herb Crimson Pearl.

Unfortunately, the so-called return of the City God of Yangzhou is essentially just a trick of resurrecting the dead, and is not even as good as the real resurrection of the dead.

At this moment, Lin Ruhai's soul seemed to be controlling his own body. He seemed to be back to life, but in fact, he was more like a walking corpse.

It only took Luo Fu a moment to understand Lin Ruhai's current state, and a meaningful smile immediately appeared on his face.

"Lin Ruhai, the imperial salt inspector of Yangzhou City, greets the Great Emperor Luotian." Lin Ruhai is a smart man after all. In front of other people, he naturally calls Luofu "Taoist Luotian".

But in front of Luofu, he simply followed Lingyou Hou's example and addressed him as the Great Emperor.

Lin Ruhai knew very well that if Luofu could really give up the idea of ​​​​spreading cholera on the earth, then even if he was not a god of heaven and earth in the incense and fire sects, his own strength alone would be enough for the court to enthrone him as the great emperor.

This is not based on political considerations, but is brought about by real strength.

"Lin Hai?" Luo Fu called him by his name and said jokingly, "What a walking corpse."

Lin Ruhai is just the pen name of Lin Daiyu's father. His name is Hai and his pen name is Ruhai.

Calling someone by their first name is often a sign of a superior ordering the subordinate around, and calling someone by their first name itself is a sign of disrespect.

Frowning slightly, Lin Ruhai asked, "Why does the Great Emperor Luo Tian say that?"

Luo Fu smiled but said nothing. He changed the subject and said, "Since your soul has already returned to the netherworld, but now you come to see me as the Imperial Salt Inspector, are you now a ghost in the netherworld or an official in the human world?"

"Although the great Emperor Luo Tian has unfathomable cultivation, he wants to harm the world. What is his intention?" Lin Ruhai asked instead of answering.

"How brave." Luo Fu said in a daze. He casually reached in the direction of Lin Ruhai.

The next moment, Lin Ruhai's soul was instantly captured from his body by Luo Fusheng, and his body became stiff after losing his soul, even though it was less than a day since Lin Ruhai's death.

But after Luo Fu grabbed his soul out of his body, large patches of corpse spots appeared on Lin Ruhai's body, as if he had been dead for a long time.

Grasping Lin Ruhai's soul, in just a short moment, Luo Fu understood the methods of Yangzhou City God Lingyou Hou.

It was nothing more than using incense and offerings to the gods to give Lin Ruhai's soul the ability to control the corpse. In essence, it was exactly the same as the method used in Maoshan Taoism to control straw men and paper men.

It's just that Lin Ruhai's soul is controlling his own body, which is why he appears to be at ease. Even his corpse can maintain an appearance of being alive to the naked eye. But in fact, all this is just an illusion maintained by the power of incense.

Lin Ruhai was a little panicked when his soul was captured by Luofu in an instant.

All he relied on before was Lingyouhou, the City God of Yangzhou, who is the god of the underworld.

Now the means of revival given to him by Lingyou Hou was so vulnerable in front of Luofu. How could Lin Ruhai not be panicked?

He even began to worry that he might become like the wandering ghosts controlled by evil monks in those vernacular novels.

It can only be said that Lin Ruhai bet on the underworld spirit this time, hoping that he could complete the commission of Lingyou Hou, so as to win a merit and realize his dream of becoming the underworld spirit. Just like when he took over the position of the imperial salt inspector, he made the same gamble and lost miserably. He forced himself to calm down, since he had underestimated the means of the great Luotian Emperor, Lin Ruhai had nothing to say.

When Lin Ruhai came to his senses, he was about to curse Luofu to show his unwavering loyalty.

Luo Fu's next words made Lin Ruhai completely panic.

Without paying any attention to the soul of Lin Ruhai that he had arrested, Luo Fu directly ordered his subordinates, "Go to the residence of the Imperial Salt Inspector and invite the daughter of Imperial Inspector Lin to come."

"What do you want to do?" After losing his wife and children one after another, the only thing Lin Ruhai cared about in his heart was his orphan daughter.

Now Luo Fu went to invite Lin Daiyu in front of him, how could Lin Ruhai not be panicked?
"You are a true practitioner of the Dao. Haven't you heard that the disaster should not extend to the wife and children? Could it be that you, a local tyrant, would threaten someone's family? With such a narrow mind, even if you have the profound art of reaching the sky, you are nothing more than a gangster in the cholera world."

"Envoy Lin, are you planning to give me some advice?" Luo Fu looked at Lin Ruhai with a smile.

Although Lin Ruhai was a heavy gambler, he was also a typical scholar-official. He was not the kind of person who would feel itchy because the water was too cold, but a person who truly possessed the spirit and integrity of a scholar-official.

Having a strong gambling nature does not mean that Lin Ruhai has no bottom line.

"Lin has been blessed by the emperor for his whole life..."

Before Lin Ruhai could finish his words, he was interrupted by Luo Fu again.

"Then let's wait until the young lady comes over! Perhaps, then Envoy Lin will change his mind?"

Fortunately, Lin Ruhai is only a soul now, otherwise, even if he were still alive, he would be angry to death by Luo Fu's words.

In fact, Luo Fu's behavior at this moment was clearly trying to threaten him with Lin Daiyu.

It's only a cup of tea time.

Several subordinates who had just left appeared in Luofu's sight, along with a young man and a girl wearing a veiled hat.

The subordinate explained to Luo Fu considerately, "Your Majesty, we followed your orders and went to the residence of the Imperial Salt Inspector. Unexpectedly, we happened to capture Jia Lian, the son of Rongguo Mansion."

Jia Lian is now only in his twenties.

When he was forcibly taken away by these ferocious men, he was quite frightened. But when he saw Luofu, he was stunned for a moment.

The reason why Jia Lian was stunned when he saw Luofu.

One reason is that Luo Fu is only about thirteen or fourteen years old at the moment. Although his blood and energy have been replenished after entering the shared space, his body has grown a lot in a short period of time. Now he looks no less handsome than Jia Lian, the eldest young master of Rongguo Mansion who is in his twenties, but he is still obviously immature.

Another is that Jia Lian knew or was aware of Luofu.

Needless to say, the little figure with the veil on was definitely Lin Ruhai's daughter, Lin Daiyu.

But Luofu is now more interested in Jia Lian.

After all, Jia Lian's reaction speaks for itself.

Even though Luofu has changed drastically compared to a few months ago, Jia Lian can still recognize Luofu's identity at a glance.

This was obviously because Jia Lian had a very deep impression of Luofu before.

It might be a bit of an exaggeration to say that everyone in the Rongguo Mansion is a villain. After all, the moral and ethical concepts in the feudal era were very different from those in later generations.

But Jia Lian is a rare person in Rongguo Mansion who has a relatively high moral bottom line.

At the very least, when Jia She set his eyes on Shi Daizi's fan, Jia Lian was severely beaten in order to persuade Jia She.

Now that Jia Lian was able to recognize him so quickly, the only thing Luo Fu could think of was that the lackeys of the four major families were trying to steal his Luo family's most precious jade heirloom.

In fact, up to now, Luofu has not conducted a detailed investigation into the details of the four major families' attempt to seize their most precious jade materials.

Because he knew very well that this was a complete mess.

Instead of going to great lengths to investigate the whole story, it would be better to overthrow the four major families behind those lackeys at once. Not only the four major families, but even this dynasty, Luofu will also replace them.

This kind of revenge is clean, neat and satisfying.

It can also satisfy Luofu's inner desire for power after experiencing oppression from the powerful.

But Jia Lian's reaction now made Luo Fu have some other thoughts.

"It seems that Mr. Lian has a deep memory of me."

Jia Lian shuddered, and said with a trembling voice: "You...you...are you really you? Mr. Luo? How could you...do this..."

Seeing Jia Lian was so surprised that he was incoherent, Luo Fu sneered, "Why? Is it strange? I am now raising the flag of rebellion and planning to invade the capital and seize the throne."

As a scholar, Luofu should not behave in such a rude manner. At the very least, he should come up with a plausible excuse, such as acting in the name of justice.

The man who shut up his mouth stormed into the capital and seized the throne. No matter how you look at it, he behaved like an uneducated and reckless bandit.

Jia Lian's mind was a little confused at this moment.

He did know Luo Fu. After Hua Zifang informed the people in Rongguo Mansion that the Luo family had hidden precious jade materials, Jia Lian had even instructed the servants not to do anything too extreme.

In the middle, he also went to Luojia Village in person. Of course, this was because Luojia Village was not far from the capital, and Jia Lian was often busy with the foreign affairs of Rongguo Mansion and traveled outside a lot. It was also for this reason that he even met Luofu more than once.

But no matter what, Jia Lian could not connect the weak young man in his impression with the Emperor Luo Tian in front of him, who looked at most a little immature compared to an adult.

Perhaps among the Rongguo Mansion, Jia Lian can indeed be considered one with a relatively high moral bottom line.

Unfortunately, as enemies of the four major families, in Luofu's eyes, every person from the four major families is born with original sin.

You know, eradicating the roots of a crime, wiping out an entire family, and punishing all nine generations of a clan are customs and even virtues in the East.

It’s just that Jia Lian is from Rongguo Mansion, and he is the next generation heir of Rongguo Mansion.

He waved his hand, signaling his subordinates to detain Jia Lian temporarily.

Luo Fu then walked up to Lin Daiyu.

Although she was just a weak little girl, at this moment, facing Luo Fu's approach, Lin Daiyu showed unimaginable courage.

Not only did he not retreat a single step, he even looked at Luofu through the veil.

"Traitor." A tender and pleasant voice came.

Lin Daiyu gnashed her teeth and said, "Don't even think about using me to threaten my father."

The moment she finished speaking, Lin Daiyu turned around abruptly, took small steps and ran headfirst into the strange rock next to the Moon Gate.

It was obvious that he was planning to commit suicide by hitting his head against a rock.

"Yu'er."

A loud scream was heard, and Lin Daiyu stumbled suddenly, her veil fell down, revealing her long black hair.

Following the sound, he saw his father who had just come back to life, standing beside Luo Fu in the form of an illusory soul.

Lin Daiyu suddenly felt sad.

"Father, please forgive me for being unfilial. I have served my country faithfully and I will not bring shame to the Lin family."

Seeing that Lin Daiyu was once again determined to commit suicide.

But Lin Ruhai couldn't bear to watch it anymore.

"You evil villain, you are imagining to be a cultivator and causing chaos in the world. I don't know how many innocent people will suffer because of the war you started. You..."

"Does my cholera belong to me?" Luo Fu smiled disdainfully and looked at Lin Daiyu meaningfully.

With his strength, even if he has only completed the shared power and a little bit of insignificant localization, it still gives Luofu unimaginable magical powers that dominate the world.

The transformation of the essence of life endowed Luofu with all kinds of incredible magical powers.

For example, now, on Lin Daiyu's body, Luofu clearly saw a delicate red pearl fairy grass swaying gracefully.

But what really concerned Luofu was the shadow cast by the swaying Immortal Crimson Pearl Grass.

It was a huge and mysterious stone with three colors. Each color had an extremely smooth side, just like a mirror.

In an instant, Luofu recognized that the huge stone shadow was the famous Sansheng Stone in the legend.

It was clear in the Red Mansion that the Immortal Crimson Pearl Grass only grew beside the Three Lives Stone. But now Luo Fu's magical eyes that could see the three realms and six paths of heaven and earth clearly told him that the Immortal Crimson Pearl Grass did not grow beside the Three Lives Stone, but had its roots on the Three Lives Stone.

No wonder, the Immortal Crimson Pearl Grass, which is said to grow on the bank of the Ling River, needs to be watered with nectar by the attendant Shenying of the Chixia Palace.

Let me ask you, does the vegetation along the river need special watering?

What seemed unreasonable originally now seemed natural to Luofu.

The Immortal Crimson Pearl Grass is obviously magical. At the very least, any plant that can take root and grow on the Three Lives Stone must be a spiritual root.
