The Demon-Slaying Grandmaster

Chapter 47 Nonsense
Li Jingxiao suddenly felt that although the Taoist priests who stayed by the emperor's side enjoyed endless wealth and glory, in fact, if they were not careful, they would be doomed.

Perhaps the Zhu Yuanzhang in this world hated Taoists and monks so much because he wanted to practice Taoism but never received the true teachings.

Of course, it is not so easy to become an immortal.

As an emperor, he was busy with state affairs and indulged in concubines in the harem all day long.

He also had to compete openly and secretly with civil and military ministers, which consumed a lot of his energy and time.

It would be strange if one could achieve success in practicing Taoism.

And the Taoists are actually not easy to mess with.

If the emperor dares to touch the descendants of a Taoist master, then the Taoist master will not need to be polite.

From ancient times to the present, no emperor has ever dared to destroy Taoism.

If a kind-looking old monk meets you and says, "Donor, I see that you have great fortune and are as powerful as the emperor," they are basically trying to fool you.

But if an old Taoist priest with a sage-like demeanor said this, then you should just be happy.

After meeting Zhao Junming and others, as well as the imperial guards.

As expected, the first thing the captain of the imperial guards asked was what happened in the mountains last night and why there were strange signs in the sky.

Li Jingxiao pretended to be panicked, his face changing after a while, before he said, "Last night, a strange phenomenon appeared in the mountains, and we were terrified.

However, I suspect this is a sign of great prosperity, so I hurried back to the capital to report this to His Majesty and the Saint."

The captain of the imperial guards would never believe it.

Seeing Li Jingxiao's terrified face, he couldn't help but turn his eyes to the three Taoist priests Shi Delong, Lin Yi and Liu Hongshi.

Shi Delong and the other two also pretended to be frightened and echoed Li Jingxiao's words.

The captain of the imperial guards immediately felt that Shi Delong and the other two were treating him as fools.

Li Jingxiao is too young. Even though he is a martial arts expert, it is normal for him to be scared when encountering something strange.

But the three Taoist priests blatantly ignored the white light and flames last night. They couldn't be so perfunctory in fooling people.

He hurriedly asked, "How do the three Taoist priests explain why those mountain monsters appeared in the dense forest outside the imperial mausoleum a few days ago?"

Shi Delong has the highest level of cultivation and has also mastered the Lightning Thunder Fist, which is extremely difficult to practice in Maoshan.

It's no problem for him to subdue demons and monsters, but he's not good at talking.

Moreover, he is usually quite domineering, which is probably related to his practice of Lightning Thunder Fist.

If it weren't for the concern for the imperial court's legitimacy, they would have ignored this captain.

Liu Hongshi has been in the world for so many years that he has become very sophisticated.

He smiled and continued, "This is simple, it's because the Great Zhou is at its peak and is a sign of great prosperity.

These evil spirits in the mountains would come here and try to stop the prosperity of humanity.

Fortunately, Lord Li was a martial arts expert, so he was able to kill those baboon.

Otherwise, if we allow those mountain monsters to harm the world, who knows what kind of disasters they will cause in the future.

As for the sky fire and white light last night.

As the saying goes, 'Thunder and fire refine true gold, and divine light exorcises evil spirits,' this is a real vision, and it will bring prosperity to the Great Zhou, and wealth to the country and strength to the people."

Since Li Jingxiao said it was a sign of great prosperity, Liu Hongshi could only talk nonsense in this regard.

As for whether the Great Zhou will have good weather, peace and prosperity in the future, that is the responsibility of the ministers in the court.

If so, everything is easy.

If not, then there must have been evil spirits at work before the great rise.

As to whether this evil is just a monster or there are treacherous officials in power, it depends on how the world sees it.

Anyway, it’s none of my business as a Taoist priest.

At worst, I'll wander around everywhere and you won't be able to find a single hair of mine, let alone catch me. The captain and the imperial guards, after hearing what Liu Hongshi said, seemed to think it was true.

Otherwise, if these three Taoists really have that ability, why don’t they admit it?

Once recognized, you can become the national teacher. What an honor is that?

As for the soldiers and generals who came from the Daoluo Division, such as Zhao Junming, they had already received training when they were in the Daoluo Division.

It is not a good thing for ordinary people to know these weird things.

Naturally, I asked nothing and said nothing.

On the way down the mountain again, Li Jingxiao chuckled and said to Liu Hongshi, "When you go back, write a memorial to me. I'll read it and report it to the court if there's no problem."

When Liu Hongshi heard that it was a memorial, he felt a little uneasy.

Li Jingxiao smiled and said, "Don't worry, I will correct the mistakes.

From now on, you three brothers, just stay in Daoluo Division with peace of mind.

There are few things to do and the treatment is good. You have time to practice and can also help Maoshan in the court.

At worst, if Maoshan wants to build a new hall or recruit more disciples in the future, it will be easier to get approval.

Even though you're not in Maoshan, you're still contributing to the sect, understand?"

If someone else said this, the three brothers might not agree. They would believe whatever you say.

Especially Shi Delong, who is the senior brother and has the highest ability, so he is more or less arrogant.

But these words were said by Li Jingxiao. Since Shi Delong has already recognized Li Jingxiao's strength, he naturally recognizes his credibility as well.

He quickly agreed, still thinking that maybe in the future he could find some promising Taoist practitioners in the capital and send them to Maoshan.

As for rebuilding the main hall, if it is really done, the status of the three of them in Maoshan will at least be comparable to some elders.

After coming out of the mountain, Li Jingxiao and others mounted their horses, bringing with them more than twenty empty horses, and galloped all the way to the dense forest a few miles away from the imperial mausoleum.

The 17 people searched separately for an entire afternoon and actually found something unusual.

Liu Hongshi and Lin Yi checked the feng shui everywhere and reported back. Simply put, as long as the dead tiger was buried in this dense forest, it would definitely block the water veins of the imperial mausoleum.

There will definitely be problems with the taxation of the Great Zhou in the future.

The consequences of the court being out of money are self-evident.

When it comes down to it, the collapse of most dynasties is basically related to lack of money.

When the corpse tiger absorbs more and more of the Great Zhou's luck and crawls out from underground, that will be the real catastrophe.

It seems that someone in the group accidentally found out about this, which led to the internal conflict.

Li Jingxiao was stunned for a moment, then subconsciously said, "So, there are still loyal and brave people among that group?"

Lin Yi smiled and said, "Sir, not all of the Green Foresters and evil cultivators are the kind that bring disaster to the world.

In fact, most of them just rely on the Taoism they have learned to make a living.

Not to mention disrupting the world, even if they were asked to join the rebellion, they would first look at the situation clearly before making a choice.

Otherwise, if you go to the underworld after death, not only will you have a hard time, but you might even bring trouble to your master and elders."

If others hear this, they will definitely think it is nonsense.

But after watching so many of Uncle Jiu's movies, I realized that when Uncle Jiu Lin Fengjiao was still alive, he had already prepared a position as a bank manager in the underworld.

Without the help of the master and the ancestors of the Lin family, who would believe it?

Thinking of this, Li Jingxiao couldn't help but look at Lin Yi, thinking to himself that this guy also has the surname Lin, could he be Uncle Jiu's ancestor?
