"Young slave also knows that I just lost my inner elixir and injured my root cause, so I will inevitably end up in a state of complete disarray. But now, young master, can you help me avoid some pain?"
Shen Lian seemed to hear the ghost of the loquat tree whimpering.
He pondered: "Forget it, how can I help you?"
The loquat tree said: "Young master, can you first contain my ghost in your body, which is a spiritual training object? Now that the sun is shining at noon, I feel very uncomfortable." It is now just a mass of invisible and qualityless ghosts, and it survives by chance. Among those who have been struck by thunder, they have been tortured by the true fire of the sun in the past few days.
Shen Lian's sandalwood sword is suitable for the integration of mind and body, and it is Shen Lian's mind training tool, so it is temporarily accommodated to isolate the sun and fire and make it more comfortable.
Shen Lian said: "Of course there is no problem, just come in." After all, the texture of the ghost of the loquat tree is pure and does not contain any blood evil spirit. It is also the tree of Mr. Su's house, so Shen Lian will not ignore death.
The loquat tree had a pure mind and felt that Shen Lian had no ill intentions and was doing nothing wrong. All he saw was a stream of blue smoke coming out of the tree trunk and suddenly getting into the wooden sword at Shen Lian's waist.
This wooden sword was originally a magical weapon that Shen Lian accidentally forged when he was practicing the Sword Qi of the Sword with No Form, but he didn't expect that it ended up being used as a temporary home for the ghost of Mr. Su's loquat tree.
As soon as the loquat tree's ghost entered the wooden sword, Shen Lian suddenly had a feeling, as if he could make him live or die with his thoughts.
After all, the wooden sword has a part of his mind, and the two have been inextricably intertwined, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a derivative of his limbs.
The loquat tree seemed to have noticed this, and its thoughts were even more awe-inspiring.
Shen Lian's mind moved and he remembered something. He sent his spiritual thoughts to continue the conversation with it: "I see that even if you temporarily live in my magic sword, you still can't avoid the ending of your soul being shattered. I have a way to make it possible." Your continued existence in this world depends on whether you are willing or not.”
"My little slave just wants to live an ignoble existence, is it okay for my young master to speak out?" the ghost of the loquat tree continued.
Shen Lian said: "I will build a temple for you and make you a god. From now on, you will protect this land and water. As long as you can do your best for the people, the incense will have the power to replenish your soul. But in this way , you will be bound to this land and lose your freedom.”
Shen Lian's so-called method of conferring gods is actually imperial conferment. Although it is also a divine way, it is not the same as Chao Xiaoyu's path.
He only recently had this method, Taixu's divine energy harmonizes with all things, and has a unique resonance with the inspiration of heaven, earth, mountains and rivers. Shen Lian can collect the earth energy spirit of this area of water and soil, make a talisman, and give it to the ghost of the loquat tree, so that it can be recognized by this area of water and soil, and will not be rejected as an evil god.
If it fulfills its responsibilities and protects a living being, all living beings will naturally worship it and provide it with the power of incense.
This is mutual benefit and mutual help between the two parties, and it is also an act of justice for heaven.
We must know that the law of heaven is sovereign, but there are also omissions. Therefore, there are always floods in the mountains and rivers of the heaven and earth, causing landslides and cracks in the earth, affecting living beings, causing blood and evil, and harming the harmony of heaven and earth. Therefore, in certain places, if by chance, a natural god will be born to harmonize the vitality of the land and water. But not all mountains and lands in the world have gods, because such gods often become gods from incense due to the wishes of all living beings. If they lose their duties and no one worships them anymore, the power of the gods will naturally decline, and in the end they will not even be able to protect their own ghosts. .
Therefore, its prosperity is also rapid, and its demise is also sudden.
Chao Xiaoyu has similarities and differences with such gods. She possesses the Nine Lotus Sutra, which is the supreme skill in the divine way and points directly to the path of transcendence. By plundering the power of the empress, she can obtain the will of the people of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and then establish a country with divine right to kings. She can also vigorously develop the Nine Lotus Sect. Believers, thus sitting back and watching the rise and fall of the world, becoming the Pope, above the power of the king. As long as those believers spread all over the world and the sparks are endless, her attained status as a god will be as stable as Mount Tai. It can even continuously expand its territory, conquer surrounding countries, and make them believe in Nine Lotus. If in the end, one world can be turned into a kingdom of gods, then naturally one will have to use the Tao of Vacuum to see its true face, which cannot be restrained by the Tao of God.
So if Chao Xiaoyu wants to conquer Shen Lian, she wants Shen Lian to help her. If you want to achieve extraordinary achievements, there must be extraordinary people who do extraordinary things. And these people all have extraordinary talents or perseverance. Both Taoists and religions need such talents in order to inherit the Taoist tradition or expand their influence.
In fact, this was Chao Xiaoyu's glimpse that although Qingxuan was a member of the Four Great Dao Sect, the sect had declined due to a previous catastrophe, and the vitality of the Great Zhou Dynasty was not strong, so he decided on such a strategy. As long as Chao Xiaoyu really gets what he wants, relying on the will of the people living in the thousands of miles of territory and the climate is 10%, the situation will be unstoppable.
Although the empress was tyrannical and majestic, she was still tricked by Chao Xiaoyu. Only one move from Chao Xiaoyu's chess made Shen Lian ruin her overall plan, and he suffered heavy losses.
Shen Lian did not dare to underestimate Chao Xiaoyu because of her failure. He regarded everything as smoke and clouds, seeking his own way, and was determined and decisive. As long as he did not die, he would eventually succeed.
It was from Chao Xiaoyu that he remembered the path of Shinto. The wish of all living beings is turned into incense, which will definitely help the soul a lot. It is not difficult to continue the existence of the ghost of the loquat tree.
The loquat tree demon lost its inner elixir when it transformed into Thunder Tribulation. Even if it was lucky enough to escape its ghost and body, it would just be waiting to die.
Since Shen Lian can consecrate it to the gods and extend its life, the loquat tree will naturally not disagree.
As for freedom, it is nothing to a tree.
Moreover, the loquat tree has never heard of any similar kind. It likes freedom. After all, there is a quiet land and water, standing in the form of a tree for eternity. It is a life that all grass and tree elves are used to. If according to Shen Lian's previous life, the grass and trees All the monsters are geeky.
After obtaining Loquat Tree's consent, Shen Lian settled the matter.
Master Shuo saw Shen Lian standing in front of the loquat tree for a long time, seemingly talking to himself in the blue sky and white sun, and thought to himself: This little Taoist priest's appearance of being possessed by evil spirits is different from other monks and Taoist priests.
He was muttering in his heart, and then he saw Shen Lian turning around and walking back. He remembered the evil ways before, so he couldn't help but take a step back. The servants behind him followed suit and carefully supported him.
But when he saw Shen Lian walking over with a smile, it didn't look like he was possessed by evil spirits. Master Shuo paused again and heard Shen Lian say to him in a very relaxed tone: "Now that the demon has been removed by me, you don't have to worry about it. "
Mr. Shuo looked at Shen Lian, who was quite serious and not joking. He felt confident and confident, but still a little suspicious. He pointed to a nearby servant and said, "Go and take a look."
