Chapter 132 131. The Duty of Defending the Territory
On the way back to Yuanfu Temple.

Xu Qing remembered,

The current Huai'an City seems to have been rebuilt after the founding of the Great Sheng Dynasty.

When I learned about this history before,

He thought that Huai'an City was destroyed in the war.

But now I think about it,
Maybe not.

Yuanfu Temple was later moved to Huai'an. Could it be that it was also used to guard a haunted house?
That's right,

Yuanfu Temple was not originally located on a hill outside Huai'an City.

At the beginning, when Taizu of the Great Sheng Dynasty swept across the world and regained his rule over the empire, he saw those immortal sects in the mountains that had been hiding in the chaotic times reappearing in the world.

I was extremely angry.

How can it be possible to avoid disaster in troubled times and enjoy happiness in prosperous times?

At that time, Emperor Taizu of the Great Sheng Dynasty had just swept away the chaotic world and was at the peak of his power. With the dynasty's national fortune upon him, he was the most powerful person in the world.

At the same time, he had millions of soldiers under his command.

The military force was twisted into a force, evolving into a bloody war. Even the most powerful people in the seven realms did not dare to confront them easily.

If the qi is not flowing smoothly, it will naturally be expressed.

then,

With the assistance of the Taoist leader at the time, Taizu of Dasheng convened a Dharma Assembly and invited all sects and gangs within the territory of Dasheng to participate.

At the meeting, it was proposed that the responsibility of guarding the land be exchanged for the people's worship and offerings, as well as the right to establish a sect, recruit disciples, and spread the doctrine.

Once this rule was proposed, it was naturally difficult for the major sects to accept it.

Some of these sects have existed longer than the previous dynasty, and some even existed before the dynasty system emerged.

This is how it has been in every dynasty. Why do you, the Great Sheng, force us to defend your land and protect your people?
They are used to being superior to mortals.

Sect practitioners can slay demons and monsters for the sake of merit, but this is based on their personal wishes, not some kind of duty that must be performed.

Moreover,

Even establishing a sect, recruiting disciples and spreading the doctrine must be exchanged for the responsibility of defending the territory. Doesn't that mean their sect will be subject to heavy control by the imperial court?

In the end, the Dharma Assembly ended in a bad mood.

to this end,

After the Great Sheng Taizu united the then Taoist leader and the other three major sects, he wiped out several of the top sects with lightning speed.
No matter how difficult it is for other sects to accept it, they are not allowed to do so.

This has led to the formation of the current situation of the Great Sheng Kingdom.

The leader of Taoism at that time came from Yuanfu Temple.

After returning to the mountain,
Xu Qing went to find his master as soon as possible.

Unfortunately, Taoist Qingxu is not here, but Lord Jinhu is.

Xu Qing recounted the entire cause and effect, and emphasized the final eye contact with the female ghost in the embroidery tower, with scenes of "her" life flowing through his eyes.

Jin Hujun straightened up and crossed his hands on his chest: "How did you deal with the life memory of the ghost girl in the embroidery building?"

"This memory has been sealed by me using the Six Ding and Six Jia gods in my body." Xu Qing replied.

"Not bad, quite alert. Regardless of whether the ghost girl in the embroidery building intends to use this memory to make trouble, we have to be on guard."

"Now, free your mind and release the seal on that memory."

Say it.

King Jin Hu raised his paw and pressed it on Xu Qing's brow.

Xu Qing's eyes flashed, and he immediately urged the Six Ding and Six Jia gods to release the seal on that memory.

then,

King Jin Hu hooked his claws and pulled out the memory from Xu Qing's mind, then opened his mouth and swallowed the memory into his stomach.

Xu Qing's eyes were confused for a moment or two. When he came to his senses, he clearly felt that a piece of his memory was missing.

"The memory of the Embroidery Tower Ghost's life has been removed from your mind. Don't worry about the impact of this memory on you." "In addition, the specific appearance of the Embroidery Tower Ghost in your memory has also been erased."

Xu Qing's eyes moved: "Could it be that recalling the appearance of the Embroidery Tower Ghost would also attract the infiltration of the Embroidery Tower Ghost's power?"

"When it was at its peak, it could indeed do this. When the female ghost of the Embroidered Tower appeared, it turned all the people in Huai'an and the surrounding prefectures into its clones."

"But now it is sealed, so it is basically impossible to use this method."

"But just in case, it's best to erase its appearance."

"It's worthy of being called a 'disaster' ghost." Xu Qing felt a little scared.

"Okay, everything is fine, leave quickly and don't disturb my sleep." Jin Hujun yawned.

Xu Qing rubbed his hands and said in a flattering manner: "There is one more thing, I hope Jin Hujun can help me."

Jin Hujun glanced at Xu Qing and unexpectedly did not refuse.

"what's up?"

"My family is in Huai'an now. This time the haunted house almost appeared in the city. Plus, there may be other evil spirits hiding in the city.
So I want to ask Jin Hujun for a clone like the one I had in Ningyang Town last time."

"If we encounter danger, please protect my family."

Jin Hujun said unhappily: "Good fellow, now I not only have to take care of you, but also your family members?"

Xu Qing could only laugh dryly when he heard this.

But after all, he couldn't stay at home all the time, and it was not easy to place Xu's father, Xu's mother, and his older brothers in the temple.

I originally thought that Huai'an was a big city.
The Yang Fire of the Sheji is strong enough to resist most evil spirits.

But there is a black snake demon in front, an evil cultivator on the ghost island in the middle, and a strange change in the ghost house in the back.

In addition, there is an old dragon in Hongze Lake upstream of Huai'an that is eager to cross the river.
He really didn't know how to evaluate the safety of Huai'an City now.

A place that radiates in all directions and has unobstructed waterways is certainly prosperous, but with the flow of people, there are often undercurrents underneath.

If Yuanfu Temple was not just outside Huai'an City, the local government would probably have a huge headache.

If Xu Qing wanted to ensure the safety of his family, he could only seek help from the temple and his master.

This is a private matter after all.

It was not polite to ask for help, so he could only turn his attention to Lord Jin Hu.

"Please, Lord Jinhu." Xu Qing pleaded.

"alright."

The Golden Tiger King swung his tail, and a hair flew out and fell to the ground, turning into the image of the Golden Tiger King.

"You have used up your life-saving talisman. I will replenish it for you when Qingxu comes back. During this time, you should stay in the temple or your home."

"With my clone here, you'll be safer at home."

Xu Qing immediately expressed his gratitude profusely.

During this period of time, he had originally planned to stay in the temple and not go out, practicing in seclusion, hoping to break through to the third realm in one fell swoop.

Xu Qing got the clone of King Jin Hu and immediately sent it home. After explaining the situation to his family, he went back to the mountain and returned to his own small courtyard without stopping.

In the small courtyard,
Xu Qing sat cross-legged in the courtyard, carefully feeling the flow of qi and blood in his body.

There are nine orifices in the human body, seven yang and two yin.

The two yin orifices, also known as the lower orifices, are where the human body's gasification products, such as urine and feces, are discharged from the two yin, so it is called "turbid yin out of the lower orifices."

The two yin orifices correspond to the kidneys.

That is,

There are nine orifices in the human body. Besides the kidneys, there are three orifices: the ear orifice, the posterior yin orifice, and the anterior yin orifice.

The importance of kidneys in refining essence is self-evident.

Kidneys are the source of essence, and strong kidneys mean abundant essence.
