defend the truth

Li Weizhen and his party had already stayed in the water temple for the third day.

During the past three days, Luo Yicheng spent most of his time meditating, while Duan Tianqing was obediently acting as the protector of the Dharma.

The so-called Dharma protector is not a simple companion. Apart from being alert to the surrounding environment, one has to pay attention to the slightest changes in the meditating person.

Because many practitioners, when their own condition is not good, may be taken advantage of by the inner demons who do not easily emerge from the lake of mind during meditation, and thus become obsessed and fall into the way of demons.

And once this happens, it is often difficult to wake up on your own, and you need the help of others to safely get out of the dangerous loss, keep your heart, and wake up.

Of course, there are pros and cons to everything. If one can successfully use this to break the demon barrier, it will naturally be of great benefit to the practice, and it is even possible to increase the realm one after another.

That night, Li Weizhen and the others walked to the Water God Temple. It took a lot of time on the way, but it was much safer.

It's just because it's not safe to be a thousand miles away from Fuchun City, as long as we send more monks who are good at flying with swords to chase such a distance, it will be very fast.

Not to mention that among the chasing soldiers, there might be Jiang Zhenxuan.

Wen Tingyun has the ability to cross thousands of miles of mountains and rivers in an instant, but Jiang Zhenxuan, who is at the same level, does not have that ability.

At no time should you underestimate your opponent.And at that time, they were not qualified to see Qingjiang Zhenxuan or Fu Rangyi who was eager for revenge.

In fact, on the way to the Water God Temple that night, Li Weizhen and the others really ran into a group of pursuers.

It's just that those chasing soldiers were flying in the sky at that time, and Li Weizhen and the others were walking through the woods, covered by night and vegetation.

At that time, the night sky was clear and cloudless, leaving Jian Guang nowhere to hide.Moreover, that group of people didn't fly very high, so they were easily noticed by Li Weizhen, who had excellent eyesight.

There was a section of the road that was more dangerous. When it was about seven or eight miles away from the Water God Temple, the group of pursuers turned back along the way, but Li Weizhen and the others had already walked out of the woods, and the terrain was relatively open.

Fortunately, they have been walking along the river bank, and on that part of the road, there are relatively dense reeds growing beside the river bank.After bending down and getting into the reeds, he lay on his stomach, and got away with it by luck.

After arriving at the Water God Temple, Li Weizhen himself had completely rested and recuperated to the best condition at dawn. He was not injured at all, but his spiritual power was overdrawn.

Afterwards, Li Weizhen even took time out to clean the water temple.All the original residents here, some snakes, rats and ants, were invited out.

Li Weizhen is not a clean freak, he just borrowed this place to rest, not to do something for the real owner "Master Water God", after all, he feels a little sorry.Afterwards, he solemnly inserted three sticks of incense into the dilapidated incense burner for the same reason.

But Li Weizhen did all this just to show the respect in his heart, it's just his human nature.I can't get any blessings in exchange, and I don't expect to get blessings in exchange.

Because the god statue in this water temple has actually been toppled, not only the golden body was broken, exposing the clay sculpture body, even the head of the god statue was cut off.

The neck of the fallen god statue is very flat at the break, and it should have been beheaded first, and then pushed down.

At first, Li Weizhen thought that it was the work of some unorthodox casual cultivators and demon cultivators, and it was a boring act after passing by this place.

But later, when Li Weizhen secretly scouted the surrounding area, he found that five miles to the north, there was a village and town, and there was also a Shuide Xingjun Temple with a good incense.

This means that there is another possibility. There should be a certain sect in this area.

As a result, this water temple, which was originally full of incense and sheltered one side with good weather, has been redefined as a "Yin Temple".

Yin Temple is a term of the Taoist orthodox way, which is used to refer to those gods who are enshrined, but the gods are not recognized in the genealogy of Taoist gods.

In other words, the statue enshrined in this water temple may itself be just a local virtuous person who once benefited a party during his lifetime.After his death, the common people built such a temple for him in memory of him, or perhaps for the purpose of repaying him.

This "Water God" is a Yin God who was sealed by the common people with the power of incense and vows, not a Yang God recognized by the Dao of Heaven.

The Yin God does have the ability to protect one side, but it is only limited to one side of the mountain and river. He can't get out, and he is nothing if he leaves here.

The power of the Yin God also comes from the people's incense and vows. Once the incense is cut off, they are just wandering ghosts.

In the Taoist classics, there is a record in the legends about gods that can be referred to: Li Nezha, the ancient immortal of Chengtangguan in the East China Sea, made troubles in the sea when he was young, and later returned his mother to his mother and his father after cutting his bones to thank the world. .However, her mother loves her son deeply, so she built a Yin temple and a golden body for her, begging for incense from the people, hoping that her son could return to Yang with a long life.

Three years after the Temple of Yin was enshrined in incense, Li's father, Fang Jue, was so angry that he personally destroyed the temple and destroyed the golden statue of Li Nezha.

However, because the Kunlun Shangxian-Taiyi Zhenren and Li Nezha had a master-student relationship in the previous life, when his soul was about to fly away, he reshaped his body with five-color golden lotus and nine-turn resurrection pill, and accepted him as a disciple again. , into the right path.

After Li Nezha returned to Yang, the prodigal son turned back because of practicing the righteous way of immortality, and his hostility disappeared; he surrendered 96 cave demons, performed one hundred thousand good deeds, and finally became a saint with his body to prove the Tao. God!

After thinking about this, Li Weizhen can probably figure out what happened at that time.

A disciple of a certain sect traveled here and found such a water temple dedicated to the Yin God.

In order to be able to destroy the Yin Temple smoothly, first, as the fairy master on the mountain, he ordered the local villagers not to offer incense to the Yin Temple.After the Yin God of this temple was weakened day by day due to the loss of incense blessing.That sect disciple successfully took advantage of the void, beheaded the idol, and added a great achievement of "conquering demons" to his merit book.

As for the Shuide Xingjun Temple built later, it is very likely that it has a greater relationship with that sect.

Because of the ability to control water, there is more than one god who protects the wind and rain. Although Shui De Xingjun is the righteous god of the Water Department, his reputation in the mortal world is far lower than that of the Dragon King, Rain Master, Water Boss... these gods.

Moreover, given the high status of Shui De Xingjun, a small town in the countryside simply cannot afford to enshrine such a great god, but any mason who has studied the craft seriously would not dare to take on such a job.I am afraid that it will not be built well, and the old saying "the temple is too small to accommodate a great god" is not nonsense.

But if the sect on the mountain sent people to build it, the situation would be different. After the temple was built, it could not only suppress one's feng shui luck, but also play a role in preaching.

If there are evils and disasters in the local area, the villagers only need to go to the Shui De Xingjun Temple to petition and build the sect of that temple, and they will get a response and send people to deal with it in time.In this way, it will allow that sect to continue to build up its prestige and expand its influence.

There is even reason to guess that many of the Taoism passed down by that sect are related to water. With such a temple with a lot of incense and incense, they can really be helped by gods in this area!

And part of the incense offerings received by the Shuide Xingjun Temple will also be transformed into the luck of that sect invisibly.

Li Wei really thought of these things because he was touched by the scene.At the beginning, the Taiyi Sect once built a Temple of the Big Dipper in Red Deer Town within the boundary of Yuelun Mountain, but now, the incense has been cut off.

The reason is very simple, because Xuanguimen has sent people to build a Xuanwu God Temple in Red Deer Town.

At the beginning, when Li Weizhen planned to take revenge on Huo Ming and Xuanguimen, the reason why he chose to attack Red Deer Town was precisely because there was a Big Dipper Temple there that Xuanguimen dared not demolish for the time being.

The Big Dipper Sword Qi displayed by Li Weizhen can be blessed with considerable luck in that area.But later, this act of revenge was stopped by Zhang Chaohu, so that he didn't feel too much, the mystery and joy of God's help!

On this day, Li Weizhen built a campfire in the temple and roasted some wheat ear fish caught in the river.The body of the fish is about three inches long and weighs two or two, and two of them can be skewered with one branch for roasting.

As long as it is not in the fast-flowing waters, most of the small fish can be seen, and it is also the most annoying fish for anglers, because they are often snatched by this small fish before the big fish bite the hook. baited.

Li Weizhen didn't really have to eat something, he was just bored and looking for something to do for himself.This is already the third day of the agreement with Wen Tingyun, and he will definitely continue to wait, but the longer the time drags on, the more intense the inexplicable uneasiness in his heart becomes.

It stands to reason that it shouldn't be difficult for a Yuanshen stage master to find a specific person in a specific place.

But in fact, it was indeed delayed until the deadline was approaching, and there was still no news back.The most helpless thing is that Li Weizhen can't take the initiative to inquire about the news. This kind of waiting is really tormented.

After the fish was grilled, Li Weizhen picked up a skewer and tasted it. The small fish itself didn't have much fat, so the meat was a bit dry. There was no salt, so the umami taste couldn't be brought out, and it even had a muddy smell.

Moreover, Li Weizhen almost got stabbed after just one sip.Just because he was about to spit out the fishbone when a familiar voice came from behind him.

"Boss!"

This sound came with an excited cry, and one could tell who it was just by hearing the sound.
