Chapter 207 206. Asking for a Title from Heaven and Earth (Please Subscribe!)
On the mountains at the west gate of the city.
Xu Qing, who was drawing the Three Lights Righteousness Talisman with clouds, suddenly saw the figure of Brother Yinshan flying out from the Huai River.
Huahong flew all the way to the south.
The speed was so fast that it disappeared in an instant.
"South?" Xu Qing frowned.
To the south of Huai'an is Yangzhou Prefecture, and beyond that is Nando.
Could it be that Senior Brother Yinshan wants to stop the old dragon from crossing the river?
No way? !
Xu Qing's heart skipped a beat.
Senior Brother Yinshan’s cultivation is at the peak of the fourth realm. He is facing an old dragon whose strength is infinitely close to the seventh realm with the help of the disaster.
Isn't this delivering food?
Xu Qing immediately set up the Mo Yun and flew to Yuanfu Temple. This matter needed to be informed to the elders of the temple.
But when Xu Qing arrived at the temple, he found the atmosphere there was very strange.
All the disciples, including the Taoist boys who have not yet been ordained and formally joined the mountain sect, were guarding a large hall.
Xu Qing pressed down the cloud head and asked in a deep voice: "What happened in the temple?"
Most of the disciples in the temple have an impression of Xu Qing, especially those Taoist children who entered the temple with him last year.
So the next moment.
Xu Qing heard someone say, "Someone just attacked the mountain gate, and Elder Qingning and Elder Jingyan were seriously injured."
"what?!"
Xu Qing's eyes narrowed.
Someone attacked the mountain, and Elder Qingning and Elder Jingyan were injured?
No wonder Elder Qingzheng’s expression suddenly changed just now.
"Are the two elders okay?"
The disciples looked towards the guarded hall and said, "Elder Qingzheng is treating the two elders in the hall."
Xu Qing's heart sank. He didn't expect such a big change to happen in the temple.
What should we do with Senior Brother Yinshan’s situation now?
Fortunately, at this moment, the door of the hall creaked, and Elder Qingzheng walked out and looked around at the disciples.
"Everyone go away, Qingning and Jingyan are both fine."
"It's no use for you to gather here, go back to your places."
As an upright elder in charge of the Discipline Hall, his words are still very intimidating and convincing among his disciples.
Then all the disciples dispersed.
Only Xu Qing was left.
"Uncle Qingzheng, Uncle Qingning, and Brother Jingyan, how are they doing?" Xu Qing asked hurriedly after everyone had left.
Elder Qingzheng looked at Xu Qing with an even uglier expression, and did not hide anything from him.
"Jingyan is fine, he was only affected because of his connection with the sect altar."
"Qingning was seriously injured in his early years, and now he is injured again. The situation is a bit tricky. We have to wait for Jingyuan to come back."
"Jing Yuan" is an elder in the temple who follows the path of preserving life, and he teaches a series of magical talismans called "Life Preserving and Longevity Scrolls".
He is both a doctor and an alchemist, and is in charge of the alchemy hall in the temple.
Xu Qing noticed a key word in Elder Qingzheng's words: "Zangtan? What does this have to do with Zongtan?"
A hint of hesitation flashed across Qingzheng's face.
The affairs of the sect altar involve the entire sect and are of great importance, and only the elders can know about them.
But Xu Qing is Senior Brother Qingxu's disciple.
It can be said that he is a candidate for the next leader.
Although the position of the head of Yuanfu Temple is not inherited through bloodline.
But generally speaking, unless other disciples are very outstanding, the position of the head is always chosen from the head's children. "There is a problem with the sect." Elder Qingzheng hesitated for a moment, and finally told Xu Qing.
"The target of those who attacked the mountain was the sect altar, but now the sect altar has been temporarily sealed by some force."
"The sect altar has been sealed?" Xu Qing was shocked and asked, "Wait, if that's the case, then it means we can't be ordained?"
The reason why the sect altar is the foundation of the talisman sect is largely because it is necessary to rely on the power of the sect altar to bestow talismans on disciples.
Without magic talismans, the disciples of the talisman sect cannot perform talismans. Can it still be called a talisman sect?
Elder Qingzheng's eyes were fixed: "The other party's purpose of attacking the mountain this time is very clear, they came to cut off the inheritance of our Yuanfu Temple."
At this point, Elder Qingzheng looked at Xu Qing and said, "Nephew, this is a problem that we elders should be concerned about. I'm telling you, it's because you are the disciple of the head brother."
"Your status is different from other disciples, and the burden you will shoulder in the future is incomparable to other disciples."
"Also, the magic scrolls on you are incomplete. You only have the scripture scrolls, but no treasure scrolls."
"Given the current situation of the sect, the ordination ceremony may need to be postponed for a while. Others can wait, but you can't."
"Since our head brother needs to suppress the seal of Huaijing under Guishan Mountain and cannot take action, the temple must raise the flag again."
"This..." Xu Qing looked a little conflicted.
The flag represents people's aspirations, status and reputation, but there is a big problem: becoming the representative of a faction often means troubles are about to follow.
Seeing Xu Qing's expression, Elder Qingzheng did not embarrass him and changed the subject:
"Talismans are granted by heaven. In addition to relying on the sect altar, there is another way to obtain the talisman, especially when it comes to granting treasure talismans."
Xu Qing put on a posture of listening attentively, waiting for Elder Qingzheng's next words.
"Merit and virtue become a talisman!"
"The treasure scroll is a job, it is the position of the god in heaven."
"To condense the precious scroll with the merits of heaven and earth, in other words, is to ask for a title from heaven and earth!"
Asking for a title from heaven and earth? !
Xu Qing raised his eyebrows.
He had heard of monsters asking humans for a seal, but he had never heard of monsters asking heaven and earth for a seal.
Just as I was wondering, I heard Elder Qingzheng continue:
"This request for a title from heaven and earth is a way of becoming a god through merit, which is different from becoming a god through offering incense. This is a god recognized by heaven and earth."
"One needs to accumulate a terrifying amount of merit."
"But if it is just to condense the treasure scroll, it is not the true deification, and the merits required do not need to be so exaggerated."
Xu Qing said: "In short, I must accumulate merits from now on?"
"That's right." Elder Qingzheng nodded.
Xu Qing felt a little overwhelmed.
Merit is something that cannot be seen or touched, and the criteria for evaluating it are difficult to estimate. Sometimes, even saving someone may result in the loss of merit.
It is impossible to determine when enough has accumulated.
Forget it, forget it. There is no rush to condense the treasure talisman. There are more important things to do right now.
Xu Qing said in a deep voice: "Uncle Qingzheng, Master Yinshan, it seems that my nephew has gone to stop the old dragon from crossing the river!"
Elder Qingzheng frowned when he heard this: "Yinshan, this kid."
"Nephew, because of his childhood experience, Yinshan's only wish is that there will be no more floods in the world. I am not surprised that he would go to stop the old dragon."
"But he was just going to die."
"Nephew, there is no one useful in the temple now, go and bring Yinshan back. Don't let him go to die!"
"In addition, I will also notify Jingyi and others who are outside."
Xu Qing showed obvious hesitation on his face, but finally agreed:
"Yes! I will go and bring Yinshan back now!"
People like Senior Brother Yinshan shouldn't die so early.
Xu Qing then set up Mo Yun and followed Senior Brother Yinshan's footsteps, heading south.
