Naturally, people from the Wu Zhong clan did not dare to pester Shen Lian directly, so they had no choice but to pester Alian.
Their request was very simple. They wanted to go through Alian and join Shen Lian, the national master of Daxia, and they were even willing to become Shen Lian's slave.
Alian could still refuse perfunctoryly for a day or two, but she couldn't stand their **** begging for permission every night, so she went into Qingxuan Cave to see Shen Lian.
Qingxuan Cave has nearly a hundred stone chambers, large and small, and Shen Lian is naturally in the largest one. There are no torches or luminous pearls here, but it is full of light.
After seeing Alian a few times, she was no longer surprised.
Shen Lianfu was sitting on a stone couch in the center of the stone room, his mind wandering too much. The Tao Qi around his body was formed into blossoming lotus flowers, and there were hidden stars swirling around him. He had an indescribable immortal style.
Black Tiger was lying on his back under the stone couch, bored. It wasn't until Alian came in that he opened his eyes and looked at him with a little scrutiny.
Alian carefully walked five steps outside the stone couch. She was still a little afraid of the black tiger. Then Shen Lian also opened his eyes, the vision disappeared, and his eyes stared at her deeply.
Alian directly explained her purpose of coming and waited anxiously for Shen Lian's reply.
After hearing this, Shen Lian said, "You can't refuse them?"
Facing Shen Lian's calm gaze, Alian felt a little uneasy. The immortal master was originally a very gentle person, but this time she felt as if she had done something wrong and was afraid that Shen Lian would scold her.
Alian nodded slightly and said, "They have been pestering me."
Shen Lian sighed softly and said: "Since I have taken over this mountain, I have a predestined relationship with your Wu Zhong clan. So, you go down the mountain and let them build a statue in my image and another one." Temple, if they are sincere to me, they will be able to give me something in return. If they are not sincere, I will let them live and die.”
Alian breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the immortal master didn't complain and gave such a solution.
She nodded and said, "I'll reply to them right away."
Shen Lian said: "Besides, you don't have to stay in Qingxuan Cave when you go down the mountain. You can go down the mountain with your daughter."
Alian was shocked and said bitterly: "Master Immortal, do you blame me for causing trouble for you?"
"Now that you are no longer bullied like in the past, you can naturally go back and forth wherever you go." Shen Lian said softly. In fact, if she could cleanse herself from the dust, Shen Lian would not let her go down the mountain. But she couldn't do it, so she might as well go back and forth from where she came.
Not everyone is suitable for cultivation. There are many temptations in the world, and even immortals and Buddhas find it difficult to get rid of them all.
Alian bowed and kowtowed to Shen Lian three times without any argument, and finally said: "The slave family knows that it is difficult to repay the kindness that the immortal master has shown to the mother and daughter of the slave family. After the temple is built, I will work for the immortal every night." Teacher prays for blessings.”
Shen Lian smiled lightly and waved her out. He actually doesn't ask for anything in return for Alian, but mortals have serious hearts, and if he doesn't ask for anything in return, it will be difficult to feel at ease.
Alian consciously went to her stone room and left with her daughter.
Until now, Shen Lian has not officially started refining the sword. He is waiting for an opportunity. When the king is angry, millions of corpses will be laid down, and the blood will float in the oars. He can only wait for the King of Xia to break through Mengshan, absorb the blazing murderous intention, and temper the edge of the sword. But it can be done in one go, and it becomes a killing sword.
After all, he is still Daxia's national advisor and can take advantage of the murderous luck brought about by the war between Daxia and Dongyi. However, in this way, the cause and effect between him and Daxia becomes deeper.
But cause and effect is everywhere, invisible and intangible, so escaping is useless.
As for letting Alian build a temple, it was not Shen Lian's whim. It was just because the Netherworld was very suitable for the cultivation of ghosts and gods. Even the Qi practitioners in this world put more emphasis on the soul rather than the physical power. As for Wen Zhong, It's an anomaly.
Shen Lian had long wanted to use this to get a glimpse of the divine way, so he did it conveniently.
There are five immortals in the world. Heaven, earth, humans, gods and ghosts all have the way to immortality. Shen practiced the way to heaven and earth. Among the five immortals, he is naturally the best. However, the three of humans, gods and ghosts have also been passed down from ancient times. Moreover, the great roads lead to the same destination by different paths, and the three immortals of humans, gods, and ghosts are also heavenly immortals at the next level. It can be seen that the five immortals are mixed from the same source. If they can reach the end, it can be regarded as a path to enlightenment.
After all, Shen Lian was determined to break away from the barriers of his predecessors, so he had to explore his own path and try many times to find the most suitable path.
All this is a waste of time, haste makes waste, so Shen Lian is not in a hurry.
He devoted himself to cultivating the true fire of Samadhi that he had refined, and waited for the right time.
The breathing method that Alian practices is of course authentic in Xuanmen. Under the silent influence, she has a calmer temperament than before. Faced with her clan members who are no longer as weak as before, she conveys Shen Lian's instructions and prepares for her. Many detailed arrangements have been made.
It only took five days for the temple to be built. As for the name of the temple, everyone knew that the statue was Master Qingxuan.
Immortal Master Qingxuan is not a god who responds to requests, as the people of the Wuzu clan knew from the beginning.
However, after a few days of worship, no one received anything in return. They were still quite disappointed. Some even wanted to go to Alian to reason, but some people actually did that.
But one thing surprised everyone. After A-Lian established the temple, she prayed in the temple day and night. Unknowingly, she had an inexplicable halo around her body. As soon as the provocative person approached her, he was smitten by her body. The halo shook away.
Others approached Alian but had nothing to do. Later, people gradually figured out that it was not that Alian had great magical power, but that one should not go to the temple with evil intentions, whether it was towards Alian or Immortal Master Qingxuan.
Gradually, everyone began to respect Master Qingxuan as a real god. Gradually, some people dreamed of an immortal at night. They said that the immortal looked like the immortal master.
Anyone who dreams of an immortal master will find it easier to practice witchcraft and Taoism than in the past. This was only discovered after a while.
Since then, no one has any doubts about Alian, and she has become a veritable blessing in the temple.
As everyone began to believe devoutly, Alian could gradually see some catkins-like gases gathering towards Qingxuan Cave in her eyes, and even she could get a little bit of it. Whenever a trace of catkins-like gases merged into her body, she It was like soaking in warm water. It was indescribably comfortable. At the same time, I could clearly feel the changes in my flesh and blood. That was a good change.
She also knew that the flocculent gas came from the tribesmen, and only those who devoutly believed in immortals would have that kind of thing appear.
Alian felt the benefits of floc gas, so she began to think of ways to get more people to believe in the immortal master. Because she had no place to repay the immortal master, but those flocculent gases were obviously good things, and most of them were going to the immortal master.
She thought that the more such things, the better, so that she could repay the immortal master's kindness a little.
Alian's thoughts were clearly revealed in Shen Lian's mind. He did not intend to pry into Alian's mind, but a special relationship was established between the two, which originated from faith and soul.
