The Demon-Slaying Grandmaster

Chapter 15 Choice
Although the Daoluo Si could not control an army, he had thousands of soldiers and generals under his command.

However, when dealing with those monks who follow evil ways and do not observe the precepts, as well as demons and aliens, some extraordinary people are still needed.

Some of these people joined Daoluo Si directly, while others were just partners in a cooperative relationship.

Therefore, the Daoluo Division has always been willing to recruit people with real abilities.

If the other party refuses, then try to win them over and make friends with them.

When you need these experts to help, it is really difficult for ordinary people to refuse the invitation for help in the name of money, power, and justice.

However, the Great Zhou suppressed Taoists and monks, and there were indeed very few masters who were truly willing to serve the court.

Since Li Jingxiao possesses true energy, he is naturally worth winning over.

Shen Boping no longer hid anything and told the Taoist priest Chonglin and his group the whereabouts and why they died in the line of duty.

He also revealed the fact that the retired emperor had ordered Li Jingxiao to be promoted to an eighth-rank official.

Li Jingxiao naturally pretended to be sad, but in fact he was really regretful.

But after all, I knew it last night, so I can't be as angry and sad as I was last night when I heard that my master and his seven companions had died.

He sighed and said, "Before Grandmaster left, I actually had a vague idea that this trip might be extremely risky.

Otherwise, my master would not have formally accepted me into Zhenwu Temple and registered me with the government office before leaving.

And kept the junior master uncle behind.

Unfortunately, my junior uncle must know something and asked me to stay in the temple to look after the house.

I followed him secretly."

Shen Boping now understood why Li Jingxiao was not as miserable as if his parents had died.

After all, I had already felt it, and in these three months, I had already worried about everything I needed to worry about.

Since you are mentally prepared, you will naturally not be as sad as a normal person when you suddenly hear that a loved one has passed away.

Moreover, Shen Boping is an experienced person after all, and he knows that some people often do not cry loudly when they learn that their loved ones have passed away.

Even tears were shed very rarely.

Wait until the funeral arrangements for your loved ones are completed.

At night, when I dream back to the past and remember myself as a child laughing with my mother, my tears will wet my pillow without me noticing.

Only then did I truly realize that my loved ones were no longer with us.

The pain is excruciating.

Shen Boping had this experience when he was a county magistrate.

I experienced this when my eldest son was mysteriously murdered. It took me several years to recover.

"My dear nephew, we are deeply ashamed and regretful that we were unable to bury the remains of your great-grandmaster, master, and uncles.

But don't worry, my dear nephew, the funeral arrangements for our master and others will be handled by Prince Yishun's Mansion, and after cremation, they will be enshrined in a Taoist temple outside Dali City.

There is no shortage of incense and offerings.

If my nephew feels that it is inappropriate, we will also order someone to send the ashes back."

Li Jingxiao thought for a moment, nodded, and said, "The ashes are enshrined in the Zhenwu Temple. I am deeply grateful.

As for revenge, I will handle it myself."

Last night, Li Jingxiao really wanted to avenge his master and the others, but now when he thought about going to Dali, his selfish motives took over and he couldn't help but hesitate.

After all, we have only been together for half a month, so it is impossible for me to treat them like my own parents and give up everything for revenge.

Fortunately, this guy still has some moral principles. He wants to find an opportunity to go to Dali after his cultivation level is higher.

Shen Boping had no idea what Li Jingxiao was thinking.

After hearing what he said, I was stunned for a moment.

I secretly thought that this boy was very filial, but then I felt anxious.

He has achieved great success in Taoism and cultivated true qi at the age of 15. How can we allow such a talented young man to take risks?

As for Prince Yishun, to be honest, if he died, the emperor and the emperor emeritus might be secretly happy about it.

The entire Dream of the Red Chamber reveals, both explicitly and implicitly, that the emperor has always intended to suppress the nobles.

When the Jia family was ransacked, the emperor was not dead.

It was clear that the old emperor also had this in mind when it came to restraining and suppressing the nobles. Shen Boping then thought that although that evil person deserved death, he had repeatedly tried to harm Prince Yishun. Even a fool could guess that he must have a life-and-death feud with the prince.

Either the revenge for killing one's father and destroying one's family, or the hatred for stealing one's wife.

Among these princes and dukes who went to their fiefdoms, very few truly abided by the law.

As long as the matter did not become a big deal or cause public outrage, the emperor would basically not care.

He hurriedly advised Li Jingxiao to wait for a few more years until his cultivation level reached a higher level before seeking revenge.

As for the matter of rescuing Prince Yishun, no one even mentioned it.

Anyway, if it drags on for another month or two, even if Li Jingxiao is sent south again, it will be too late.

Seeing that Li Jingxiao was still hesitating, Shen Boping thought for a moment and said, "My dear nephew, Prince Yishun has committed many illegal acts in his fiefdom, and your master and his men were only going there to rescue people.

But now he has passed away, and here..."

Although Shen Boping didn't finish speaking.

But Li Jingxiao understood the meaning of this sentence as soon as he heard it. His master and others must have been forced to hunt down the evildoer.

And there is a high probability that there was an insider who leaked the information, otherwise Prince Yishun would not have been driven crazy by the curse twice.

If there is no conspiracy, even a fool wouldn't believe it.

Li Jingxiao was a little surprised that Shen Boping would tell him this.

This is a huge risk.

Just for not saving a prince from death, ten heads are enough to chop off.

However, Li Jingxiao quickly realized that if he did not go to Dali, he would also be ignoring the danger.

Looking at Shen Boping, Li Jingxiao couldn't help but bow and chuckle, "Thank you, sir."

Shen Boping saw that Li Jingxiao understood what he meant so quickly.

He secretly thought that clever younger generations always save trouble. No wonder the old Taoist priest Chong Lin had been hiding this kid.

It was agreed that Shen Boping would come with the imperial edict to read it out early tomorrow morning. Li Jingxiao stood up and escorted Shen Boping out of the Taoist temple.

He went back to see patients.
-
I chatted with Shen Boping for quite a long time, and it was almost 12 o'clock after I finished seeing all the patients.

After a simple lunch of four dishes and one soup, Li Jingxiao couldn't help but praise Jia Chen's cooking skills.

I secretly thought that I hired a cook with such good cooking skills for only 600 coins, and now it seems that I really got a good deal.

However, after Li Jingxiao started teaching Jia Heng Wudang Changquan in the afternoon, Jia Chen was extremely excited.

Her husband died early, Jia Heng was not good at studying, and she had no money to support his education.

When Jia Chen was ill, what she feared most was that Jia Heng would have no one to rely on before she died.

If I could still see my son get married and have children, that would be perfect.

Now that the young Taoist priest is willing to teach Jia Heng, he can learn martial arts and medicine in the future and will never starve to death.

In Jia Chen's mind, after following Li Jingxiao, studying medicine was the right path.

After teaching for half an hour, Jia Heng was still quite smart.

He actually memorized all 32 moves of Wudang Changquan.

Although the typing is ugly, having a good memory is an advantage no matter what you do.

Masters are more willing to teach apprentices who are less troublesome.

So Li Jingxiao thought about it, took out the medicinal herb song he had memorized before, and threw it to Jia Heng.

Let him carry it himself.

Jia Heng felt bitter, but at this moment he did not dare to refuse Li Jingxiao's words at all.

night.

Li Jingxiao, who had been practicing for an entire afternoon, thought that he would not care about the eighth-rank official position of You Yuanyi.

But I didn't want to meditate all night. As the sky got brighter, my thoughts became more and more confused.

Fame, wealth and power can move people's hearts. Our ancestors were right.
