Chapter 129: Reincarnation, the Ancient Daoist Tradition
"I need your help with something."
The hermit passed through the black fog and came to the Taoist priest Shenmu.
After what happened just now, Shenmu didn't dare to despise the person in front of him, and he believed that this was the founder of the sect. After all, except for the founder, no one could control the restrictions of the temple and affect his eyes.
"Grandmaster, please speak!"
"This soul body of mine is a clone. I am in the underworld and need to occupy a physical body to return to the world of the living."
"Return to life?" Taoist Shenmu thought of another level. After the ancestor returned to life, would the Sanjun County Palace become one of the top forces in the Fire Elephant Kingdom?
Thinking of this, Taoist Shenmu was undoubtedly happy, but what if the person who was brought back to life was himself?
Taoist Master Shenmu cautiously probed: "I wonder what conditions Grandmaster needs? I will do my best to find them for you."
"No need. Just find the disciple named Xu Yang. I will teach you the method of transforming the altar. You can arrange it according to the requirements of the altar and bring Xu Yang here." The hermit paused and added, "Don't make this public. Don't reveal my identity to the public. In the future, I will exist in the world under the name of Xu Yang."
Mr. Te also had concerns. He himself was not that strong. Just because he could influence the eyes of God through the Tao Seed did not mean he could influence other people.
In the eyes of other irrelevant people, he is truly a great Dan monk.
Therefore, the most correct way is to live in the name of Xu Yang.
"Call the high-ranking officials of the county palace to see me later."
The altar requires a lot of materials, and the top leaders must be involved. From now on, my secrets will only be known to the top leaders.
"Yes!" Taoist Master Shenmu tried again, "What are the conditions for the other two ancestors to return to life? I will arrange it immediately."
He had a bad feeling in his heart.
Xu Yang accepted the inheritance of Master Te. Does it mean that this is the true condition for reincarnation?
In this way, wouldn't I...
"It's been too long, and the two Taoist friends have long passed away."
As soon as these words came out, a huge stone fell from Shenmu's heart.
This way, you don't have to worry about it.
Sacrificing Xu Yang in exchange for the future of the County Palace is worth it!
night.
The night is as dark as ink and the temple is empty.
There was only a dim atmosphere around, the dojo was empty, and high-ranking officials from the county palace came in one by one.
The so-called high-level officials were actually the three gentlemen and six sons previously, and Taoist Zhigang was among them.
"Brother Shenmu, what do you mean? Who is this...?"
Everyone noticed the hermit beside Shenmu and felt that the monster looked familiar, but they couldn't connect the dots for a moment.
"This is the special hermit. Our ancestor has appeared."
When this statement came out, everyone was lost.
What a joke, how many years have passed? The collapse of the Heavenly Palace is no secret, how can the ancestor be resurrected?
It was the same old verification process again, and everyone finally believed that this was the real ancestor.
Upon learning of the founder's request, everyone's first reaction was to cheer excitedly.
The Heavenly Master of Heche Palace and Xuanzhu Palace is only at the Dharmakaya Yinshen realm above Lingtai, while the Fire Elephant King is only at the Pure Yang Yuanshen realm.
Even if the master's strength after returning to life is not at the level of Fire Elephant King, it is at least comparable to Hechedaoren.
In this way, the word "county" will be removed from the name of the Sanjun County Palace, and their status as high-ranking officials of the county palace will rise.
As for Xu Yang... he can only suffer a lot.
Isn't it right to sacrifice one's life for the county palace?
Everyone looked at Taoist Zhigang. Zhigang had been silent from the beginning, and no one knew what he was thinking.
"Zhigang, the Grandmaster just said that this matter should not be made public. When you go back, you will be responsible for tricking Xu Yang... and persuading him to come."
"As a descendant of the county palace, it is a blessing from heaven to participate in the great event of the county palace's revival."
Everyone chimed in, since they weren't using their physical bodies, so they just said all kinds of nice words.
Taoist Master Shenmu spoke again: "Don't worry, Junior Brother, the Grandmaster is back to life, not taking over another body, and he is still using the name Xu Yang. From now on, the name Xu Yang will resound throughout the Fire Elephant Nation. As Xu Yang's master, you will also be famous in the world in the future."
Everyone couldn't wait for the hermit to come back to life.
When the founder returned to life, the county palace at least controlled the entire Dijie County, and even radiated to several surrounding counties.
Under the guidance of the ancestors, they may be able to break through to the spiritual fetus, including the brain god of Taoist Shenmu.
When it comes to matters concerning your life and property, there is no reason not to worry about them.
Taoist Zhigang sneered in his heart. Human hearts are unpredictable. Once their core interests are touched, they will become hateful.
He never recognized others easily. Xu Yang was the successor of the lineage he recognized, and he even had the potential to push the Taiyin lineage to an extremely high level.
Of course, facing the current situation, Zhi Gang could not directly refute, so he said: "Don't worry, Xu Yang trusts me very much, I will definitely let Xu Yang come over."
……
Yanfeng Terrace.
A thumb-sized nine-headed golden eagle flickered and flew in the dim space like a firefly.
Nine pairs of bright eyes stared at the surrounding scene, not missing any unusual trace.
At this time, fifty miles away, a ray of white light broke through the air, triggering thousands of Yan Fengs to encircle and suppress it, and then disappeared the next moment.
"found it!"
Inside the Stone Temple.
The souls of the old land owner and Xu Yang are here.
"This place should be where the statues of the Three Lords are hidden."
The two observed the scene through the eyes of the golden-eyed eagle and confirmed that Sanjun really existed and was hiding in the underworld.
"The white light just now should be one of the three kings who used the power of faith to condense his soul. Great Sage, they only have a little true spirit left. We can take advantage of this person's departure and kill his original statue. Then we can kill this monster and seize the land god scroll."
The old land god was most familiar with the land god talisman. The moment the white light appeared, he immediately analyzed what secret method the three kings were using and his own condition.
If Sanjun used other secret techniques, it would not be so easy to detect. "Do we have to make sure they leave? Is this monster still there?" Sensing the location seen by the golden-eyed eagle, Xu Yang felt a little greedy.
In the past, ancient magic was always scattered, but this time, perhaps I’ll have a chance to come into contact with the true ancient heritage.
He wished he could rush over immediately and snatch the inheritance.
"Well, the opponent is quite powerful after all. If we meet him head-on, it might be a bit troublesome. It's better to have less trouble than more. It's more convenient to destroy his statue and seize his magic scroll directly. Of course, it's not that I can't beat him. My magic scroll is more advanced than his. I will suppress it first, and the Great Sage will take action then."
"The former option."
After all, it is in the underworld, and God knows what will happen. It would be bad if you are eaten by Yan Feng by accident.
Xu Yang thought as he looked at Heifeng with his eyebrows and eyes.
Return to the human world.
The jade talisman glowed red, and the voice of Taoist Zhigang was heard.
"Xu Yang, where are you?" Taoist Zhigang's voice was weak and unclear, as if he was disturbed by something.
"I'm here."
"This is my voice, which has been encrypted with a ban. To make a long story short, you must remember it..."
Taoist Zhigang told the story of the resurrection of Master Te.
"Hurry up and run. With your qualifications, you can go to any of the thirty-six counties of Fire Elephant."
"Old man, what about you?" Xu Yang never thought that Taoist Zhigang would take the initiative to inform on him.
"I have no hope of breaking through, and my life span is short. I'd rather leave this opportunity to you. It's better to follow the teachings of a later master than to follow the teachings of a previous master. This is the truth you tell me, and in the future your achievements will surely surpass those of the hermit."
On the one hand, it is the relationship between master and apprentice that has lasted for more than ten years, and on the other hand, it is the yearning for the future.
Taoist Zhigang is obsessed with the art of driving corpses and no longer seeks for the ordinary exquisite secret methods from ancient books. Although the gold, silver, copper, iron and Taiyin methods were passed down by the special hermit, he firmly believes that Xu Yang's future is boundless and he climbs to the highest peak with his own will.
"I will teach you a formula that can summon and control a nine-headed zombie dragon. You can run with the nine-headed zombie dragon."
The nine-headed zombie dragon is the life's work of Taoist Zhigang. It would be a good destination for it to be handed over to Xu Yang.
"Disciple knows."
Xu Yang was silent for a moment.
He did not expect that Taoist Zhigang would let him escape early. In this world full of conspiracies and intrigues, there is such a sincere person.
……
On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the blood moon is full.
This is when the Yin energy is at its peak and most active.
Inside the ghost den.
All disciples were cleared out of this place.
They only knew that an altar was built in the county palace, and they didn't know what exactly happened.
Within the dojo.
The nine-foot altar is like a tall tower, with a total of ninety-nine white jade steps. A bonfire is burning on the top of the tower, and a phantom with a human body and a bull's head overlooks the world, its huge eyes sparkling with spirit.
The hermit said to the divine eye beside him: "After returning to life, there will be a period of weakness. You will protect the law for me during that time."
"Yes."
Everyone looked at Zhi Gang and asked, "Is Xu Yang here?"
"It will be soon. I will personally send a nine-headed zombie dragon to pick him up. This kid won't be able to escape even if he wants to." Zhi Gang said with a smile.
Judging from the time, this kid Xu Yang must have run to the ends of the earth by now.
Wow!
The dark clouds gathered into a ferocious ghost head.
"Report, Xu Yang wants to see you!"
"This..." Zhi Gang was stunned. Didn't this kid run away? Was he trying to save himself?
Confused!
Taoist Zhigang was deeply moved.
A door opened in the air and Xu Yang walked out slowly.
If it had happened before, he would have run away without hesitation and had the strength to avenge Zhi Gang in the future.
Now the purpose is to delay Mr. Te.
The golden-eyed eagle took the old land man and several zombies to the place where the statue was hiding. In order to prevent the monster from noticing, Xu Yang came over to hold them back.
As for other people, there is no need to worry. The ancestor died for no reason, so how can he cause trouble for you?
The moment Xu Yang appeared, two Great Dan monks surrounded him enthusiastically, one in front and one behind, vaguely blocking his escape route.
The other two stood next to Zhi Gang, and Shenmu noticed that Zhi Gang was dissatisfied. In order to prevent accidents, he suppressed Zhi Gang and made him unable to speak.
Taoist Shenmu no longer concealed his feelings at this time.
"Xu Yang, this is the founder of Te Chushi."
"Disciple pays homage to the Grandmaster!" Xu Yang bowed with a frightened look.
"The Grandmaster wants to use your body. Are you willing to donate your body and contribute to the sect?"
His eyes were blazing and his tone was firm and unyielding.
The hermit looked up at him and said, "I am borrowing your body. In the future, your name will surely spread throughout the world. This is an honor that others will never have in their lifetime."
Xu Yang sneered in his heart. If he didn't want to, could he let him go?
"Disciple is willing!"
Soon, the two of them boarded the Resurrection Formation.
When the altar was about to be opened, on the other side, the old land god and the golden-eyed eagle broke into the mysterious space.
Mr. Te's face changed drastically.
"Old dog! Watch the stick!"
