"Master?"
Qi Wen repeated it and couldn't help but think of those small characters that could speak. When the "Sword Intent Letter" was unfolded that night, Yunshan Temple ushered in the most lively night in its history. Thinking about it now, it still feels very interesting.
"Yes, just call me Master, and that's all you need to say. There's no need to go into other details."
Taoist Qingsong is now very satisfied with his idea. Judging from Qi Wen's expression, he seems to think it's a good idea as well. However, after looking up at the star flag in the hall, he still spoke to Qi Wen solemnly.
"Yunshan Temple is now a Taoist sect. I am now considered a top figure in the temple. In the future, I want to carry forward the Taoist tradition of Yunshan Temple. Without solid cultivation, I will not be able to do it. So I must practice hard in the future!"
"Of course. By the way, Master, will you still set up a stall to tell fortunes in the future?"
"Well… "
Taoist Qingsong was suddenly speechless, thinking that as his cultivation level gets higher and higher in the future, he will not be afraid of ordinary punches or even the punches and kicks of martial artists.
"Well, cultivation is cultivation, and hobbies are hobbies. Mr. Ji has so many hobbies, so of course they can't interfere with cultivation."
Seeing his master like this, Qi Wen knew that his master would probably never change in this lifetime.
The two little minks had finished their training by now. They got down from the cushions, looked up at the star flags, squeaked twice at Qi Xuan and Qi Wen, then ran out of the hall and the temple, and no one knew where they went in the mountains.
…
At Yunshan Temple, the master and disciple and the two little minks were practicing and chatting, while Ji Yuan, Lao Long and Qin Zizhou naturally had something to do.
In fact, the three of them did not go far, they were just flying near Yunshan. Compared to Ji Yuan and Lao Long's use of wind and cloud control, Qin Zizhou himself did not know such magical powers, but he had the embryo of a world-traveling god after all, so he could travel in the sky with the power of celestial stars, but his speed was not as fast as normal flying, so Ji Yuan and Lao Long still took him to fly.
Despite this, neither Lao Long nor Ji Yuan would look down on Qin Zizhou from beginning to end. Even Lao Long placed him on the same level as himself. In the past, he admired his character more, but now he looks forward to his future more.
With Yunshan Temple as his support, Qin Zizhou, who originally had a pure yang body, has already established his luck. If the chance was 30% when he was first brought here, it has now soared to 60%.
When flying over Maoqian Town, the old dragon pointed to a certain place below.
"That's where the human god is, right?"
Ji Yuan glanced at Lao Long and corrected him.
"That man's name is Huang Xingye. To be exact, his human body and his spirit are one and the same."
"Haha, it's all the same. How many years does a mortal live? Huang Xingye was not young anymore. He didn't have many years left to live. Sooner or later, he would become a god in human form. Such gods are rare in the world. It would be better if the god in human form could escape into the heaven and earth to find his own opportunity after Huang Xingye's death. It would be a pity if he died with Huang Xingye!"
Lao Long had something in mind, and he believed that Ji Yuan must have had a plan in advance, a fact that Ji Yuan would not deny in front of the two people around him. Naturally, the more hidden chess pieces he had, the better.
"Yes, that would be a pity. I left a decree to the landowner of Maoqian Town afterwards, asking him to help look after Huang Xingye. In addition, I also cast a spell to hide the already weak abnormality on Huang Xingye's body. Taoist Qingsong calculated that this person would die peacefully."
Even Lao Long had to admire Qi Xuan's fortune-telling ability. Although he was a mortal and there were many constraints and prerequisites for fortune-telling, his predictions were really accurate. It seemed that Ji Yuan had found those small words last time so that Qi Xuan could have a try, and sure enough, he succeeded easily.
"Walk!"
As soon as Ji Yuan finished speaking, the three of them flew on a cloud towards Maoqian Town and soon landed not far from the land temple.
The time is still there, but almost everyone in Maoqian Town is engaged in farming, so they get up very early. There are already quite a few people coming and going on the roads in the town, but not many people come to the land temple.
Each of Ji Yuan and the other two would stand out in the crowd, let alone when they are gathered together. One of them is elegant in a white shirt and looks dignified, one is wearing a loose robe with white eyebrows and beard, and one is dressed in gorgeous clothes and looks noble.
The three of them walked towards the land temple together, which should have attracted the attention of the people around them, but at this moment it seemed that no one cared about them.
A peasant woman holding a three or four-year-old child had just come out of the land temple after burning incense. She also did not look twice at Ji Yuan and the other two who were already very close to her. Instead, the child in her arms was immediately attracted by the three men, especially Qin Zizhou's white beard that grew to his chest.
Ji Yuan and the other two people exuded a calm and fresh aura. The child was not afraid of such strangers and even reached out to grab Qin Zizhou's beard.
"Grandpa, can I touch your beard?"
"Oh, no, no, this won't do. If you pull out my beard, it will hurt!"
Qin Zizhou pretended to grab his beard to avoid it, but still "accidentally" let the child's chubby little hand rub his beard, and when they passed by, the little hand slid across his beard.
"Hmm? Who are you talking to, kid?"
The peasant woman paused, held her child upright, looked back, and did not notice the "grandfather".
The child pointed over there and spoke incoherently.
"What about that, what about the beard, the beard is long, long beard grandpa!"
"Grandpa with a beard?"
The peasant woman looked behind her and wondered if she had seen the God of Land.
The farmers in Maoqian Town, like those in other places in Dazhen, are generally superstitious. In addition, it is said that children can see things that are difficult for ordinary people to see. This thought seemed possible, so they quickly carried the child and bowed towards the land temple.
There are not many pilgrims in the land temple, and now there is only the temple keeper sitting on a bamboo chair to take a rest. Although he is called a temple keeper, this kind of small temple is actually managed by elderly people who live nearby and know more.
As Ji Yuan, Lao Long and Qin Zizhou stepped into the courtyard of the land temple, the temple keeper began to doze off and fell asleep leaning on the chair in a few breaths.
When I walked to the statue of the God of Land, I saw that there were quite a few offerings on the altar, as well as a windproof eternal lamp and two jars of fragrant oil next to it.
"Please ask the landowner of Maoqian Town to show up."
It wasn't a special moment, so there was no need to use such brutal means as detaining the spirit. Ji Yuan's calm voice penetrated the statue with Taoist sounds and reached the ears of the underground land god.
After waiting for about ten breaths, the God of Land emerged from the ground along with a puff of smoke. When he looked up, he saw Ji Yuan and the other two. His heart trembled and he quickly bowed to them.
"Granted Lord of Maoqian Town, I greet the three great immortals!"
Ji Yuan knew this land god. From the dragon aura that was not particularly concealed on the old dragon and the things that happened here that year, it can be guessed that he might be the Dragon King of Tongtian River. The man with white eyebrows and beard standing shoulder to shoulder with the two of them was definitely not a simple person. I'm afraid he also has to be called "real".
"Lord of the Land, there is no need to be polite. It is not a difficult job for you to look after Huang Xingye, but you have been very careful for decades. It is not an easy job. Today, I will give you a good fortune!"
Ji Yuan went straight to the point, which made the already uneasy mood of the land officials in Maoqian Town even more excited.
"You have only been the land god of Maoqian Town for a few years. Your original body was also a monster in the earth. You should not have been recognized by the city god of this area, right?"
The God of Land did not dare to lie and spoke frankly.
"Because of the incident at the Huang Mansion last time, the City God of Le County and the City God of Changchuan Prefecture have already recognized my status as the God of Land in advance, and they have both endorsed me in the underworld."
"Haha, that's pretty fast!"
The old dragon smiled, and did not look at Tudi and Ji Yuan, but at Qin Zizhou. The latter just stroked his beard and smiled, and now he spoke leisurely.
"Then may I ask the God of Land, if I give you a choice, one is to continue to practice in Changchuan Prefecture under the care of the prefecture and county gods, the other is to be under my jurisdiction in the future, what will you choose?"
The God of Land blurted out the answer without even thinking about it.
"The little god wishes to be under the command of the immortal!"
What a joke! When the immortal came, he said he would give me an opportunity. Isn't it obvious that he was telling me what to choose
After saying that, he looked at Qin Zizhou carefully.
"May I ask who this immortal is?"
"I am Qin Zizhou, I don't have a great reputation, nor do I have a high status. You can just call me Lord Qin for now."
"Oh, Lord Qin!"
The land god quickly bowed again.
Ji Yuan thought for a moment, took out a small stack of golden coins from his sleeve and handed it directly to the God of Land.
"Take it. It will be useful to you. The decree may not be executed smoothly with your magic power. It will be much better to use it with this magic money."
When the God of Land saw the magic coins, his eyes widened. He carefully took them in his hands and thanked them repeatedly. He knew something about magic coins, but these were simply treasures. When he held them in his hands, he could feel the spiritual essence contained in them, and a surge of emotion was aroused in his heart.
"Hey! When did Mr. Ji come up with something like this? Can you give me one to play with?"
The old dragon's childishness revived, and Ji Yuan simply threw five of them to him to play with.
"By the way, Immortal, I am under your command. Do you need any ceremony?"
Qin Zizhou smiled.
"Just remember it. You don't need it now. As for the underworld, you don't need to tell it. Just do what you need to do. You will know when the time comes."
"Yes! Little God receives the order!"
In fact, rather than saying that the land is under the control of Qin Zizhou, it is better to say that he will help look after the gate of Yunshan Temple in the future. However, his future will definitely be brighter than being the land owner of Maoqian Town.
After bidding farewell to the land god and coming out of the temple, the three of them went to the Huang Mansion to visit Huang Xingye, and then circled Yunshan Mountain and landed in a suitable place. The old dragon gathered water spirits, Ji Yuan picked up the pen to determine the law, and Qin Zizhou drew the star power down.
The three of them worked together to lay down their plans in various places in Yunshan.
