Terrifying Heavens: I'll directly worship the Black Law of Fengdu!

Chapter 62 Merit Officer's Talisman
The two officials had their own encrypted communication. Seeing that Li Xuan looked innocent and didn't seem to be faking it, they "communicated" for a while. Then, looking at the tokens and seals on the altar and the token gourd at his waist, they felt that their "breathing" was becoming smoother. After thinking it over, Iron Mountain didn't seem unacceptable.

At least there's still a chance to get out.

If he angered the one who bestowed the seal, token, and gourd upon Li Xuan, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Lu Jiangong said, "Since it's a misunderstanding, let's drop this matter."

His gaze fell on Xu Qingshan, who was engulfed in flames. He pointed his index finger again, increasing the intensity of the fire. Xu Qingshan's soul instantly dissipated, leaving him with no possibility of rebirth.

It's normal for Li Xuan to be a little confused when he first enters society.

But he wasn't stupid. He sensed a hint of grievance in the official's words, so he bowed and said, "My cultivation is still in its early stages, and there are many things I don't understand. Perhaps something went wrong at some step. Please rest assured, I will recount what I did before the altar later, and beg the Emperor to investigate..."

What kind of person do they have that they dare to ask the Emperor to investigate?

Even Lu Jiangongcao's superior's superior wouldn't dare say that, so Li Xuan is quite audacious!
Unable to contain his doubts any longer, he asked, "May I ask, from which school or sect did you come from? And where did you obtain this Nine Springs Command and the Seal for Inspecting the Ghosts and Gods of the Three Realms? It is not that I am suspicious, but I am simply curious, hence this question."

People came all the way from Fengdu to help.

We're all "family," there's nothing to hide.

Li Xuan laughed and said, "Earlier, when I was attacked by evil spirits, I hurriedly rushed into the Beiyin Temple to worship the Northern Emperor of Fengdu. By chance, I obtained the 'Supreme Cave Abyss Northern Emperor Tianpeng's Divine Mantra for Protecting Life and Eliminating Disasters,' which I used to repel the evil spirits. Later, when I encountered evil spirits again, I had no choice but to set up an altar and ask the ghosts and gods of Fengdu for help. Who knew that it would actually attract the Heavenly Lord Tianpeng to descend. Although he punished me by piercing my chest with a sword, he also gave me the Nine Springs Command and the Seal for Inspecting the Ghosts and Gods of the Three Realms, as well as several Northern Emperor Daoist scriptures..."

Lu Jian felt like he was hallucinating.

Would you like to listen to what you're saying?
What does it mean to "become a disciple of the Northern Emperor"? What does it mean to "have the Heavenly Lord pierce your chest with a sword"? What does it mean to "be given a seal and a token at the same time"?
He could understand each word individually, so why did they sound so strange when put together?

Li Xuan continued, "Before this, I encountered an evil spirit called 'Great Black Buddha Mother' causing trouble. Fearing I was no match for it, I went to a large temple called 'Yuanshi Palace' and asked a spirit medium for help. He painted the face of 'White Crane Immortal Venerable' and defeated it with lightning speed!"
I was slightly injured during this process, and 'White Crane Immortal' used his magic to heal my injuries, and then gave me the gourd as a gift."

The flow of time in Fengdu Underworld is different from that in the mortal world.

Lu Jian had cultivated for many years, but at this moment his legs felt somewhat unresponsive. Listening to Li Xuan speak felt like returning to his childhood, when he was still alive and listening to "ghost stories"...

Seeing his silence, Li Xuan assumed he was dissatisfied with his incomplete answer and said, "I've heard that to cultivate the Fengdu Method, one must first cultivate the Dongyue Basic Method!"

So he went to the Dai Temple at the foot of Mount Tai, knelt before the statue of the Great Emperor of the Eastern Peak, and prayed for the "Dongyue Earth God's Law," and then received some Taoist scriptures and this token..."

Lu Jian: "..."

Wang An: "..."

Lu Jian was about to speak.

Wang An suddenly stepped forward and said, “The number of people practicing the Fengdu lineage is dwindling. Your resolute decision to enter this path demonstrates your unwavering faith and righteous spirit. Fengdu needs talents like you! I am Wang An, and I have served as a clerk in Fengdu for many years, gaining some understanding. Please take this talisman. If you have any questions, summon me with this talisman. Although I cannot provide forceful assistance, I can answer your questions. Please remember, never summon me with your seal or token.”

As he spoke, he gently pointed to the yellow paper on the table, and cinnabar ink rose into the air, automatically leaving faint runes with the words "Wang An Gong Cao" on the yellow paper.

Lu Jian turned to look at Wang An in surprise. They had worked together for many years and had never seen the other party do such a thing.

Because the two figures were shaped like incense ash, barely recognizable as human, let alone having any expressions, Li Xuan didn't know why they were turning their heads around. He only guessed that the two officials were chatting in an encrypted channel... Lu Jian gritted his teeth, pointed to the yellow paper on the table, and left a rune with the words "Lu Jian, Official" on it.

He said, “What Wang An said is indeed reasonable. From ancient times to the present, those who are righteous, virtuous, and diligent should all receive help from others. It is clear that you are such a worthy person to be cultivated! On this point, I agree with Wang An. Now, we have little time left in this world, and we must leave. If you have any doubts, just bring the talisman and summon us, and we will come immediately.”

Li Xuan was somewhat surprised that he could obtain the "private numbers" of these two people after summoning the clerk; it was an unexpected delight.

However, there seem to be limitations, restrictions imposed by the law, and the rules cannot be broken! Official business requires going through the OA system and "going to the altar and performing rituals" to obtain military support; simply "calling a private number" only makes one an advisor.

People are not enough to swallow elephants.

He was very satisfied...

The incense in the incense burner burned very quickly; less than two minutes after Gong Cao arrived, it was already almost completely burned out.

The last wisp of incense ash fell.

Wang Angongcao disappeared first, while Lu Jian hesitated a step and said, "That young girl's heart meridian is damaged, but her lifespan is not yet over. If she can take the incense ash in time, there may be a chance of recovery. If she is delayed, it may be too late. That's all I have to say, I'm leaving!" After speaking, he also disappeared without a trace...

Things done.

Li Xuan performed the altar-closing ceremony, thanking the various deities. Then, he carefully collected the incense ash, took out mineral water and a disposable cup from the gourd, poured in the water and ash, stirred it evenly, and walked towards Huang Meimei, who was lying on the ground.

Huang Meimei, this little child, was covered in bruises.

When Xie Yali's sister possessed him, she showed no mercy whatsoever, causing him to end up like this. She's not human.

Li Xuan held her in his arms, pulled out the dagger stuck in her heart, slowly poured the incense ash water from the disposable cup into her, and patted her back forcefully.

Even Tyson couldn't withstand a dagger piercing his heart.

The official said incense ash is useful, so let's give it a try.

after awhile.

Huang Meimei suddenly coughed violently, opened her eyes, and stared blankly at Li Xuan with her normal single pupil: "You, who are you...?"

She had never seen Li Xuan's face before, so it's normal that she didn't recognize him.

Huang Huotu lay motionless on the ground. Li Xuan noticed that there was still incense ash at the bottom of the disposable cup. He poured in some mineral water, put Meimei down, helped Huang Huotu up, and poured the water into his mouth.
Huang Huotu groggily awoke and saw "Li Gan" in front of him. He immediately struggled to get up, but his body was too weak. Despite his efforts, he remained in Li Gan's arms and could only weakly say, "Are you... are you real or fake? Don't come near Meimei, I'm really scared..."

Li Xuan smiled and said, "Welcome back, Officer Huang! Let's get to know each other again, my name is Li Xuan."
