Chapter 1680: Clear Wind and Bright Moon, Destroying the Five-Power God
"Husband, but is there a sister coming in?"
When Liu Ruyan woke up, she saw the man lowering his head and sniffing a sachet, but that sachet did not belong to her or her maid Ping'er, which made her feel uncomfortable.
“It’s not certain yet!”
Su Mingzhe noticed that the woman was jealous, but instead of denying it, he quietly put the sachet away.
He was invited by Princess Taihu in his dream last night and drank a lot of fine wine, which made him bolder and he had a joyful night.
Now he wanted to look for her, but he was afraid of being laughed at by Princess Taihu, so he was hesitant.
"Husband, if you really have a girl you like, don't worry about Ruyan."
Liu Ruyan thought that her man was worried about her. Although she was indeed a little jealous, she did not dare to control him just because she had been with him for a long time.
Su Mingzhe was moved when he saw that the woman was so sensible. He held her in his arms and showed his affection for her.
……
Turn around.
The drought is over.
When the people of this county learned that it was Su Mingzhe from Qingyun Temple who had successfully prayed for rain, they did not complain about the hard work and came to fulfill their wish.
Su Mingzhe is the only one in charge of the affairs of the temple, and it is super troublesome to welcome and see off guests every day.
On this day, Mr. Jin from Jinjiazhuang left.
Seeing the man's hard work, Liu Ruyan couldn't help but persuade him:
"My dear, if you are tired, you might as well ask for more help. Wasn't there a wandering Taoist priest before..."
"How can we be assured that it is used by outsiders?"
Su Mingzhe rejected the woman's proposal without waiting for her to finish.
There are some things he is not comfortable telling women.
He settled in Mojia Town with only two purposes. One was to hide his identity so as not to be discovered by the big guys in this dimension and eliminate hidden dangers. The other reason was to seek some peace and quiet and quickly recover his cultivation.
Su Mingzhe was unwilling to do anything that would hinder his goal.
For Su Mingzhe, taking in a wandering Taoist priest whose identity and origins are unknown would definitely do more harm than good.
He naturally wouldn't do it.
However, it would be too tiring if I continued to handle all the guests by myself.
Think again.
Su Mingzhe suddenly remembered that he had learned the 'Spiritual Awakening Technique':
"I have a solution!"
"Ping'er, go to the storehouse and find two larger pieces of jade!"
……
Not long after.
The maid Ping'er used a talisman to fetch two pieces of jade that were half a person's height.
Su Mingzhe took out a dagger, quickly carved it into a human shape, and then performed the "Spirit Awakening Technique".
With a burst of colorful light, in an instant, the pair of jade stones changed into a pair of golden boy and jade girl.
The golden boy and jade girl had a mental state of about 11 or 12 years old. As soon as they transformed, they kowtowed to Su Mingzhe and Liu Ruyan and said:
"Greetings, sir, and hello, madam!"
"No need to be polite. From now on, you will be called Qingfeng and you will be called Mingyue. You are the golden boy and jade girl of Qingyun Temple. You must guard the gate for me. Do you understand?"
When Su Mingzhe was awakening the two of them, he had already input everything they needed to do directly into their memories. He was not worried that the two of them could not understand what he was saying.
Naturally, the two of them agreed readily.
……
It was the next day in a blink of an eye.
When there are more pilgrims coming to visit, with Qingfeng Mingyue to receive them, Su Mingzhe only needs to receive some practitioners or important pilgrims, which naturally makes things much easier.
About half a month passed.
That day, it was near dusk.
The breeze and the bright moon saw off the last group of people who had come to fulfill their vows. Just as they were about to close the door, they saw a handsome man approaching them, and he quickly said with a smile:
"If you want to burn incense, please do it early tomorrow!"
When the handsome man saw the breeze and the bright moon, his spirits were obviously high, and a trace of greed flashed in his eyes:
"My purpose of coming here is not to burn incense, but to learn from Master Su about magic!"
"Master, something bad has happened. Someone is here to rob us!" Qingfeng Mingyue was still young and didn't know how to deal with it, so he could only run to the backyard in panic.
The handsome young man followed to the backyard, and when he saw Liu Ruyan and the maid Ping'er, the greed in his eyes became even stronger.
When Su Mingzhe saw this young man, he frowned and slapped the handsome man on the crown of his head.
This handsome young man was just a small monster in a fairyland, and Su Mingzhe's cultivation had already recovered to the level of Daluo Jinxian, so it was natural for him to be easily controlled.
As Su Mingzhe performed the soul-stealing technique, he pulled the soul of the earth immortal monster out of its body and read its memory.
Not long after.
Su Mingzhe knew the identity and origin of this monster.
……
It turns out that this monster is a guard snake that has become a spirit and has been practicing for nearly a thousand years.
Also because he lived for so long, he was worshipped as a god by the locals and gradually became a powerful figure.
Later, this monster became sworn brothers with four other monsters and were known as the Five Gods.
This monster is named Wu Ming, and he is the fourth of the Five Gods.
Among the Five Spirits, in addition to Wu Ming, the snake spirit, there is also a cow spirit, two pig spirits, and a fish spirit.
The five monsters have similar origins, they are all domesticated animals. Because they have lived for a long time and absorbed the scent of incense, they gradually became spiritual and like to hang out in the human world.
A few days ago, when Taoist Qingxu was praying for rain, he discovered a monster and made up a story that the monster was the Five-Power God.
The news spread to the Jiangnan area where the Five-Headed God was active. When the five monsters learned that their reputation had been slandered, they sent Wu Ming to seek an explanation.
……
After learning about Wu Ming's intention, Su Mingzhe knew that he had misunderstood him.
But, what can I do?
You know, in this era, which temple doesn’t have ghosts of people who died unjustly?
Therefore, after reading Wu Ming's memory, I knew that the two sides had already had a grudge.
And this Five-Power God is not a person with a broad mind.
Su Mingzhe simply spat out a breath of Samadhi True Fire, burning his soul to ashes, making it impossible for him to even enter the path of reincarnation.
In this way, the cause and effect have been resolved.
……
Had dinner.
Ping'er was about to make the bed and wait on her mistress and Su Mingzhe to rest, but Su Mingzhe stopped her:
"Ruyan, Ping'er, I have to go on a long trip tonight. You two should rest early. I will be back tomorrow."
"Be careful on your journey, my husband."
Liu Ruyan didn't ask the man what he was going to do, but just gave him some instructions.
……
Night falls.
Su Mingzhe hid his body, used the earth-walking technique, and rushed to Wu Ming's lair.
This is Huzhou in Jiangnan.
After searching Wu Ming's lair, he killed a few useless wood goblins.
After making sure that there were no further troubles, Su Mingzhe came to Jiaxing again and killed the two pig spirits.
After killing the pig demon, Su Mingzhe rushed to Shaoxing and killed the fish demon.
At this point.
Of the Wutong Gods, only one bull spirit was left.
This ox is the eldest of the Five Gods and is smarter than his four brothers. He does not live outside the city but lives in Hangzhou.
Well, it’s still a Taoist temple.
Although Su Mingzhe has powerful means, it is not easy for him to take action directly in the capital city.
After all, this plane has a complete team of heaven, underworld, and city gods.
Su Mingzhe clears out the demons and monsters outside the city, which is equivalent to a chivalrous man in the rivers and lakes, doing justice and helping the people. The people do not report it and the officials do not investigate it. Generally speaking, no one cares about it.
The bull demon lived in the city. If Su Mingzhe went directly to kill it, regardless of whether he had any merit or not, it would be a slap in the face to the local city god.
He hesitated for a moment.
Su Mingzhe decided to stay outside the city temporarily and wait for the bull demon to leave the city so that he could kill it himself.
