Chapter 135: Fortune Rises and the Positive Energy of the Devil (Today's Third Update)
Times are different.
Although Chu Wujiang's title did not change, he was still a viscount.
But now the nobles of Longzhou understand that in terms of influence, he is the second most important person after the King of East China Sea, or even the most important person.
Because Chu Wujiang's contribution to saving Longzhou was too great.
There are no secrets in the circle of noble people.
In order to cover up the mistakes of the Imperial Observatory, Tian Xiang Zhenren chose to portray Chu Wujiang and his group as heroes who saved Longzhou, and even performed many special operations.
For example, Tiangang Zhenren belongs to a Taoist organization, but he has nothing to do with the Sitianjian.
However, Zhenren Tianxiang promoted talents on the spot and asked Zhenren Tiangang to sign the contract immediately and become a senior priest of Sitianjian.
In this way, the incident in Longzhou was characterized as an incident that was successfully defeated the evil god and prevented the disaster from spreading further under the correct leadership of the Imperial Observatory, with the full cooperation of local government offices and led by the senior worshipper Tiangang Zhenren, who actively cooperated with the county magistrate of Longcheng.
Achievements are primary, mistakes are secondary.
As for Xuanqiong Xingguan, he made a minor mistake, but he also successfully killed Zhongyong Bo who colluded with Wangui Sect, which was enough to make up for his mistake.
All is well.
The dereliction of duty by the Si Tianjian originally caused serious consequences, but under the manipulation of Tian Xiang Zhenren, the consequences became very positive.
Of course, this style of celebrating funerals is also an old tradition of the Imperial Observatory and is not surprising.
According to this characterization, Tiangang Zhenren's contribution ranks first, and Chu Wujiang ranks second.
With the blessing of this achievement, Chu Wujiang can walk around Longzhou with ease and no one can afford to offend him.
What's even more terrifying is that the Dragon and Tiger Order is still in Chu Wujiang's hands and has not been taken back at all. He still has the ability to summon the Yuanshen Zhenren.
After all, the Taoists are not crazy.
If the Taoist sect took away the Dragon and Tiger Orders, then the achievements of Tiangang Zhenren should be attributed to Chu Wujiang, not to the Taoist sect.
Therefore, the Taiyi Temple Master Yunyouzi said:
"What do you mean by taking back the Dragon and Tiger Order? That's not happening!"
"Lord Longcheng came to Taiyi Temple to drink tea."
"Tian Gang Zhenren heard that Lord Longcheng liked to drink tea, so he specially sent tea and had a good chat with Lord Longcheng. Who would have thought that they would encounter the invasion of the evil god, so they joined hands to fight together!"
"Lord Longcheng said the same thing, you can't talk nonsense!"
Not only did the Taoist sect not take back the Dragon and Tiger Order, it also sent Yunyouzi to deliver a new one as a hush money.
So he looked at the Heavenly Book and found that the fortune in it had undergone amazing changes.
[Book Owner: Chu Wujiang]
[Fortune: Blessed by Taoism (orange), Appreciated by Confucianism (orange), Hero's descendant (purple), Alliance of three families (purple), Son of Longcheng County (blue), Uncle is like a father (green), Prince's gang (white), Bullying the teacher and destroying the ancestors (black), Coveted by the devil (black)]
His fortune improved faster and more horribly than his physique.
Overall, he directly obtained the orange luck appreciated by Confucianism, and could get the assistance of Yuanshen Zhenren from Confucianism.
The Taoist and Confucian Yuanshen Zhenren were serving him, and now that the old Taoist priest was coming to kill him, Chu Wujiang also had a trump card.
The three alliances were promoted to purple. After all, at the critical moment, Chu Wujiang asked Yuanshen Zhenren to send the [Yellow Turban Warrior] to protect the other two.
As for the Lu family and the Huo family, they would rather unite around Chu Wujiang and control the situation in the entire Longzhou.
The original misfortunes (gray) and offenses against adults (gray) have all disappeared.
Earl Zhongyong is dead, the Baili family is about to be exterminated, and the Wangui Sect has suffered heavy losses. No one dares to cause trouble for him.
As for Chu Wujiang's offense to Di Guangzhu a few days ago, it was not worth mentioning.
……
Donghai Palace, Garden
Di Guangzhu looked at the information sent by his subordinates and said in surprise:
"Yun Shang, is this all true?"
"Is he really human?"
"How many days have passed..."
Yun Shang has been in charge of collecting intelligence, especially recently collecting intelligence on Chu Wujiang. She nodded vigorously:
"Feng Yu Lou said that they were very sorry and gave priority to Lord Long Cheng for the birthday gift that the prince had reserved..."
"It doesn't matter."
"Prepare a generous gift for Xiao Wang. Xiao Wang is going to give it to him..."
Di Guangzhu said with gritted teeth.
……
Of course, from the perspective of fortune, it is not without cost.
Chu Wujiang used his merits to seal the blood of the evil god. It would take a long time and constant improvement of his cultivation to truly defeat the evil and refine the blood of the evil god.
Not to mention that this time he has offended the demon king, which has added a new fortune to himself [the devil covets].
It is said that the Demon Palace, which ranks at the forefront of the evil forces, worships a demon god, and this demon god is also related to the demon Xun.
Therefore, Chu Wujiang accumulated great influence among the righteous forces, but also made enemies with the evil forces.
"There's nothing to be afraid of."
"I have been through such a difficult situation, and the rest are just trivial matters."
"Ouch."
After seeing the changes in his fortune, Chu Wujiang couldn't help but stretch himself and said in a depressed tone:
"If Yanluo were still here, she could give me a massage."
"Owner……"
Speak of Yanluo, and she will be here. As usual, she was dressed in green and ran all the way into the practice room to serve her master.
But her eyes were a little red, as if she had just cried.
Chu Wujiang was not blind. Before he even started enjoying the massage, he quickly asked:
"Yanluo, what's wrong with you?"
Yanluo quickly wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, lowered her head and said:
"Master, next time you encounter such a dangerous situation, you must take me with you."
"Otherwise, I'd be pretty useless."
Chu Wujiang's heart moved, he reached out and touched her little head, and chuckled:
"How could it be useless?"
"This time it was an accident, otherwise I would be safer than you."
"And the way you're crying doesn't mean you're just worried. Something must have happened."
Yanluo didn't dare to hide it. She lowered her head and explained:
"I asked the elders about the truth that happened six hundred years ago."
"The elder wrote me a letter and told me that six hundred years ago, it was the Jing family who performed the ritual to summon the evil god..."
"Brother Qingteng joined the Ten Thousand Ghosts Sect only after he understood the truth..."
The harsh truth sometimes brings a heavy sense of guilt.
The more moral a person is, the harder it is to let go.
After all, the gravekeepers’ slogan is to fight for the people of the world, and this is where their organizational cohesion lies.
Otherwise, with their martial arts skills, wouldn't they be able to become local tyrants and have a better life?
Chu Wujiang nodded and said:
"I know, it's not your fault."
Yanluo looked at her toes, clenched her hands tightly, and said with a pale face:
"But this time, so many people died in the evil god's summons..."
"Six hundred years ago, something like this happened, and it was all our fault..."
"Can I really stay by my master's side?"
Hearing something and seeing it with your own eyes are two completely different things.
When Yanluo led the team on this trip, she saw the court officials and nobles suppressing the rebellious believers and killing them bloodily.
These believers were once farmers, helpers, small citizens, etc.
There is no honor in such a massacre.
There is only deep self-loathing and indelible blood.
Yanluo recalled the ghosts she had suppressed in the past. They had died in the same way when they were alive, and she couldn't let it go.
She could only wash her hands constantly, over and over again, and even seek Chu Wujiang's help.
Just like some soldiers suffer serious psychological trauma after killing too much.
Chu Wujiang did not despise her. He knew the horror of this kind of psychological trauma. He placed his hands on Yanluo's shoulders and injected the Heavenly Demon True Meaning he had just obtained into the girl's body, with a warm smile on his face:
"I'll tell you as many times as you want to hear it."
"I absolve you of all guilt."
"I dare not say that your master has done immeasurable good deeds, but at least he has done good for the people."
"It is enough to use my merits to wash away your original sin."
"If you feel that this is not enough, the Chu family will do some good deeds next, and you will be responsible for it."
Yanluo felt a warmth in her body. She raised her head again, as if she saw the sun. The haze in her heart was completely dispelled in an instant.
The true meaning of the devil can not only stimulate the desire of the human body, but also inject perfect positive energy.
While Chu Wujiang was experimenting with the Heavenly Demon True Meaning that he had just cultivated, he observed Yanluo's emotions and discovered obvious changes. He could even hear her inner voice:
[So warm. ]
[I think, I want to stay by my master's side forever. ]
[No matter what you do.]
Yanluo's face changed from pale to rosy, with a faint trace of throbbing.
The effect of the Heavenly Demonic Energy is even stronger than Chu Wujiang had imagined. It is a supreme secret method to control people's hearts.
[It seems that we need to inject more positive energy in the future, and help some girls with psychological trauma to restore their mental health. ]
[The devil does not necessarily magnify desires, it can also be very serious! 】
Chu Wujiang looked at the change in Yanluo's expression, and finally felt relieved. He chuckled and said:
"Then give me a massage now."
"Yes, Master."
Yanluo recovered her energy and said with full enthusiasm that even without Chu Wujiang's order, she would still take off her straw sandals and reveal her tender white feet.
[The master will probably like it. ]
Yanluo thought shyly that it seemed that even though the true intention of the devil was full of positive energy, it would still have some impact.
The problem is not big.
Chu Wujiang thought so.
……
Chu's house, living room
After Chu Wujiang was served by Yanluo and felt comfortable, he said to Jingping Hou in a belated manner:
"I am in seclusion practicing, I have kept you waiting for a long time, my Lord."
Jingping Hou did not mind at all, as if Chu Wujiang was his superior, and hurriedly responded:
"Lord Longcheng is too polite. It is I who disturbed you."
"This time, I am being presumptuous. In addition to the affairs of the Loyal and Brave Marquis's Mansion, I also need to discuss my daughter's marriage with you, sir."
"I wonder what your Excellency thinks."
Chu Wujiang suddenly fell into deep thought. What was going on?
