One Qi Chaoyang

Chapter 152: Message from Tiandu Mountain

Lan Zhengyu was holding a palm-sized purple gourd in his hand.

The purple gourd in his hand emitted an alluring glow in the sunlight.

When he saw this magic gourd, he felt that he had to get it. He rushed to the platform without taking anything else and went straight for the magic gourd.

"What a wonderful baby." Lan Zhengyu couldn't help but say aloud what was in his mind.

Ever since the Lan family was destroyed in Guangyuan Prefecture, he originally wanted to revive the family and, as a side branch, do what the main branch should do. If successful, it would surely be recorded in the "Local Chronicles" and would surely be praised by future generations.

However, after he was frightened by Xun Lanyin's words and couldn't even utter a tough word, he felt that he had no face to stay there with so many important figures of Guangyuan Prefecture there.

So he left Guangyuan Prefecture, and then wandered around. Finally, by chance, he joined the Starry Sky Curtain, and slowly moved from the periphery to the core. The Starry Sky Curtain was a bandit gang.

After entering the core, you can look for targets and make plans on your own, and then submit them to the local "Purple Star". After the "Purple Star" agrees, it will notify other local core members and further improve the plan. If you feel that there are not enough people, you have to recruit temporary peripheral members.

This time, Lan Zhengyu was responsible for recruiting temporary peripheral members.

He fell in love with this kind of life. No matter what family or sect they belonged to, they were all prey here among the stars.

He wanted to organize a huge gang of thieves one day to hunt in Tiandu Mountain.

However, he didn’t know whether the robbery of Ruyi Bao Pavilion this time was successful.

Zixing told him that someone would break the restriction of Ruyi Pavilion, and there would be Zifu to resist there, so he should obey orders at that time.

He originally thought that 'Purple Star' should be in a private room, but in the end, he discovered that 'Purple Star' was actually the weapon refiner of Ruyi Bao Pavilion.

Rob yourself?
Lan Zhengyu couldn’t quite understand it, and he felt a little possessed during this process, which was not very good.

However, getting this precious gourd is a great thing.

He looked at the symbols carved on the gourd. Among them was a line of words that were mysterious and complex. He could not quite recognize them, so he did not delve into them.

He arrived at the meeting place, and sure enough, no one had come.

I couldn't help but curse a few words in my heart, and then I left.

Returned to his residence.

This is Lulong County, where he works as a temple priest.

Throughout the Great Zhou Kingdom, ever since the first Emperor Wu of the Zhou Dynasty named Lord Chi Yan as the official deity of the Great Zhou Kingdom, many temples dedicated to Lord Chi Yan have been built throughout the world.

In addition to helping people from all over the country to exorcise demons, eliminate evil spirits, and relieve evil, these temples also have another purpose, which is to have the authority to monitor all places.

But after so many years, it has become very difficult for temple priests in various places to perform this duty.

Since the founding of the country, the mountains and rivers in various places have been filled with many monks, both good and evil. The local court is unable to mediate the fights between them and can only let them solve them themselves. As long as no evil things that harm civilians happen, the court does not care about the fights between monks.

Therefore, the supervisory power of these temple priests became a mere decoration.

However, it still has some value. For example, when the residents in the city encounter some strange things, they will go to these Red Flame Temples to worship. If there is something dirty on their bodies, they will feel relieved when they come out after going in.

Temples dedicated to the Red Flame God are often built at some key intersections. These temples are like lights on the land, giving passing merchants and travelers a sense of security.

However, gradually, there were cultivators who did not practice fire magic and did not worship the Red Flame Temple, but wanted to share the worries of the imperial court and wanted to use some of the imperial court's reputation to build a temple. Against this background, temples other than those of the Red Flame God appeared, and they were recognized by the imperial court.

Lan Zhengyu obtained a document allowing him to build a temple, and he had it built on a hillside thirty miles outside of Lulong County. There were many merchants traveling back and forth on the hillside.

This place was originally a Red Flame God Temple, but it was destroyed for unknown reasons. He rebuilt it here, enshrining the Black Water Dragon God, and the method he practiced was also known as "Black Water Condensing True Jade Jue".

After coming back, he sat in meditation and refined the purple gourd.

As he performed rituals and refined the gourd, his magic power seeped into it, and he gradually came to understand the nature of the gourd.

This gourd has the mysterious power to collect people disguised as ghosts and gods. Of course, it can also collect people's souls. One only needs to call their name, and the other party will respond, and they will not be able to escape.

However, it is not easy to refine this magic instrument into a magic weapon. It requires offerings. However, this kind of offering is not only about burning incense, but also about telling the deepest privacy in one's heart to the magic gourd.

The gourd will be able to grow.

Lan Zhengyu began to offer sacrifices eagerly.

……

After leaving the treasure ship and Yu Chenguang, Zhao Fuyun's thoughts gradually became clear. A gust of mountain breeze blew, and he felt much more refreshed.

I couldn't help but recall all of this and realized that I must have been influenced by Master Yu to some extent.

Normally, he would not have killed Wu Jiao.

But he was killed directly at that time. He couldn't help but wonder, does Master Yu hate Wu Jiao so much?
He didn't walk far before heading towards the county seat of Lulong County.

From here, walk up for more than a thousand miles, pass Linzhou Prefecture, and then go up the river to reach Mount Li.

He did not report what happened here to Tiandu Mountain. Of course, there was no way to report it.

However, when he was meditating and entering a state of concentration, his mind was shaken and ripples appeared from the bottom of his heart. It seemed that many illusions emerged, as if he saw the well water illuminated by moonlight, and a mysterious scene emerged from the depths.

When the ripples slowly calmed down, he saw a person's face.

"Zhao Fuyun? Do you know about the Ruyi Pavilion?" Ma Sanhu's voice sounded a little hollow, as if it came from deep water.

Zhao Fuyun didn’t know what kind of magic this was, nor did he know how Tiandushan knew it.

But since Ma Sanhu knew about it and came to ask him directly, it was very likely that Ma Sanhu knew where he was, and there was a woman next to Wu Jiao on the boat at that time.

"Disciple knows." Zhao Fuyun said.

"Tell me, what happened inside?" Ma Sanhu said.

So Zhao Fuyun recounted what he had seen. Of course, he did not mention the killing of Wu Jiao. Some things could be guessed by others, but there was no need for him to make them clear.

Ma Sanhu was silent for a moment, then said, "Zhao Fuyun, you should pay more attention to Yu Chenguang's news. The people in the mountain suspect that he is a member of the Daluo Secret Sect. He did such a thing and ruined the reputation of the mountain sect. The mountain sect needs to clean up the mess. If you see him, you can also use a ritual to send him back quickly."

"Disciple does not know how to perform rituals to send messages." Zhao Fuyun said.

"I will teach you this method." said Ma Sanhu.

So Zhao Fuyun heard Ma Sanhu preaching. When he woke up again, the sky was still dark and a lamp was burning alone on the table.

There was an extra memory of the spell in his mind, but it was a very shallow memory, so he quickly took out a pen and paper and wrote it down.

This was a ritual method that required setting up an altar, which was not difficult for him. He pondered it carefully in his mind and felt that this ritual method, which could be used for communication, could become a ritual method that could kill people without anyone noticing, as long as it was improved.
