Controlling the Five Thunders and the Two Worlds

Chapter 534 The Great Luo Palace has an excellent reputation

Yang Yi glanced at Qingye Daoist, who was flying in mid-air and easily killed the green-clothed ghost, and then looked at Xiuming beside him.

What's so comfortable about that old monk's actions?
Master Qingye flew back lightly, and the surrounding mortals looked at him with a mixture of respect and awe.

Master Qingye waved his hand, "Everyone, there's no need to be afraid. I am Master Qingye of the Daluo Palace. The Daluo Palace is a place of accumulating good deeds..."

"Daluo Palace?"

"I've heard of it! I even visited the Taoist temple of Daluo Palace in Yazhou!"

"There are good people in the Great Luo Palace! They help those in distress, punish the strong and support the weak, punish the corrupt officials in the area, help me get my livelihood back, and even made that registrar compensate me with ten taels of silver!"

"Master Qingye, when will you establish the Daluo Temple in Yuezhou?"

"Take a look at me, could I join the Great Luo Temple as an outer disciple, no, even a nominal disciple would be fine!"

Upon hearing Master Qingye reveal his identity, the merchants, bodyguards, and porters around him were no longer afraid. They swarmed over, noisily announcing their identities, hoping to become acquainted with Master Qingye.

Their actions piqued the curiosity of others who were unaware of the Great Luo Palace, and they gathered around, overhearing tales of the Great Luo Palace's members performing acts of chivalry and justice.

Upon hearing this, they also joined the ranks of those trying to persuade others.

"Master Qingye, we are willing to donate some money. Could you please open a branch of the Daluo Palace in Lishifu? We will definitely offer incense and make offerings all year round."

"The magistrate in my hometown is a ruthless and corrupt official who eats people alive. You should visit him sometime!"

“I just came from Yupan Prefecture a few days ago. I heard that many people have died there recently. There are demons causing trouble in the prefecture, and it has even affected the surrounding counties. It would be great if there was a Da Luo Temple there.”

Yuezhou is located in the southwest, far from the heart of the Central Plains, and its borders are also considered remote in southern Xinjiang.

The area is poor and remote, the people are suffering, and there are no masters with ten thousand years of cultivation like the Great Mountain Dharma King of Shanzhou or the Snow Goddess of Yazhou.

However, due to inconvenient transportation and poor communication, Yuezhou is somewhat similar to the southern border, with many local forces. Not to mention that there are two or three forces in a prefecture, sometimes there are three or four forces of varying sizes in a county.

With extraordinary forces so dispersed and local officials far removed from the emperor's reach, a large number of corrupt officials, bandits, and local tyrants who are rich but heartless, gather thugs, and bully and dominate the market have emerged.

The people of Yuezhou desperately need a benevolent and virtuous official like Da Luo Gong, who helps the weak and punishes the wicked.

Seeing how popular Master Qingye was, Yang Yi felt a little uneasy. Back then, the Xuanwei Divine Sect and the Lingfa Court were never this popular among the people.

However, upon reflection, he felt better, because their actions were not as radical as those of the Great Luo Palace. At least they wouldn't destroy a force over trivial matters, nor would they punish officials for the suffering of the people.

What they need is a stable rule, while the Daluo Palace pursues fairness and justice.

However, their pursuit of stable rule and cautious actions did not lead to a stable rule. The Daluo Palace pursued fairness and justice and acted radically, but Wanling Jiangnan actually became stable.

Yang Yi couldn't help but fall into deep thought. Could it be that there was something wrong with the procedures of the Spirit Court?

Then he saw Master Qingye gently wave his hand, and beams of emerald green light were sent into the bodies of the surrounding people.

"It is fate that we have met. I will give you all a wisp of wood-elemental spiritual energy to help you cleanse your bodies and calm your minds," said Daoist Qingye with a smile.

"Thank you, Daoist Master!" Everyone bowed in unison.

Yang Yi remained expressionless; he had figured it out.

The reason why Da Luo Palace was able to stabilize Jiangnan was not because of its aggressive actions. It was simply because they had too many experts and too much strength that they were able to conquer Jiangnan.

Although Yang Yi's cultivation level was not high, he still had two or three hundred years of experience. He clearly sensed that the true qi that Daoist Qingye had just sent into the bodies of dozens of people was refined and pure, and contained a vibrant life force.

This true qi was a rare treasure even for him; he himself couldn't even condense such pure and vibrant energy. Yet, Master Qingye generously gave it to dozens of people.

Of course, there's something even more important...

Why won't you give it to me?

I need it too!

Yang Yi really wanted to ask, but he was too embarrassed to.

So he could only say to Xiu Ming with a hint of envy, "Master Qingye is truly kind and generous."

Xiu Ming nodded matter-of-factly, "My master is the best in the world!"

Master Qingye chuckled, then led Xiuming around a few times before leaving the group, seemingly slowly but actually quickly, gradually disappearing into the distance.

However, Yang Yi quickly caught up and asked worriedly, "Is the Daoist priest going to find the Dream God Cult Master?"

Master Qingye laughed and said, "Can't we find it?"

"Of course!" Yang Yi hurriedly said, "However, the Dream God Sect Master is highly skilled, and his wife also possesses six or seven hundred years of magical power. Daoist Master, please be extremely careful when you go with your disciples."

"Do you know about this Dream God Cult?" Master Qingye asked.

“I know!” Yang Yi nodded repeatedly. “The Dream God Sect is one of the two major sects in Yupan Prefecture, Yuezhou. It can lead believers into dreams and let them experience the wonderful and enchanting realm of illusion, which is so beautiful that people linger there and never want to leave.”

Master Qingye's eyes narrowed, "A heretical cult!"

"Did they use drugs?" Xiu Ming couldn't help but ask, then shook his head.

He remembered that this was a world of immortals and heroes, where a single thought could cause ordinary people to hallucinate.

Then he heard Yang Yi reply, "How did you know?"

Master Qingye and Xiuming looked at Yang Yi.

Yang Yi shrank his neck. "Yuezhou produces a kind of hallucinogenic herb that can bewitch the mind and induce hallucinations, making people fall asleep. The leader of the Dream God Cult has a special secret method that can turn this herb into a hallucinogenic smoke that makes people feel like they are floating on air and ascend to a magical realm."

It is said that in this wondrous realm, there are endless delicacies to eat, countless fine wines to drink, and endless dances and operas to watch, with beautiful women holding cups and young servants serving wine, offering boundless pleasure.

Xiu Ming asked with a grin, "Didn't you try it?"

Yang Yi shook his head decisively, "It is said that the Bewitching Smoke contains the mark of the Dream God Cult Master. If you inhale the Bewitching Smoke, you will join the Dream God Cult and have to offer incense to the Dream God Cult Master."

Xiu Ming laughed heartily, "So you're not unwilling to experience the Illusory Heaven Realm, you're just too afraid!"

Master Qingye flicked Xiuming's forehead and then asked Yang Yi, "Brother Yang, do you know Miss Li Qingshuang?"

Yang Yi looked a little embarrassed. After hearing Qingye Daoist's question, he hurriedly nodded, "Yes, yes, I met her a while ago. She is the inspector of the Jiangzhou Spiritual Court and has profound Taoist skills."

"I've heard that she has connections with the Daluo Palace. Do you know her too?" Yang Yi asked.

Xiu Ming chuckled and pulled Yang Yi over, "Since you know Miss Li, you are also a friend of the Great Luo Palace. Come on, let's go and meet that Dream God Cult Master."

"Wait, the Dream God Cult Leader, he..."

"Don't worry, we've called for backup!"
