Wet viviparity

Chapter 112 Naturalization, Tiger and Horse Fight
Inside the Xiaoxishan Villa, several people had already changed into brand new Taoist robes, all of which were dark black, with cross collars and wide sleeves.

Everyone had a Taoist bun on their head, simply secured with a boxwood hairpin, a silk ribbon tied around their waist, and cloud-shaped shoes on their feet.

Ji Ming stood in the crowd, with a mean boyish look on his face, his hands crossed in his sleeves.

This group of newly recruited Taoists straightened their appearance and waited anxiously for the call.

"Boom!"

When a bell rang, the old Taoist, the monk Fawen, and a white-faced male Taoist priest came together and led all the Taoists into the ancestral hall to worship.

In that hall, there stood two large tablets.

There are several statues of star gods standing on both sides, with different postures and expressions, and auspicious beasts such as dragons and phoenixes are carved on the beams and pillars.

Both steles have a sun wheel carved in relief and a lotus base.

One of the stele is in the front, with the six characters "Taiping Zhenjun Gan Xiong" on it; and the other stele is in the back, with the six characters "Cang Tian Qin Chuan Bai He" on it.

Although the stone tablet of Lord Taiping was placed in the front, the most conspicuous position, Ji Ming believed that most people, like him, were more concerned about the stone tablet of "Transmitted by Heaven".

Ji Ming knew that Zhenjun Gan Xiong actually founded the Taiping Mountain lineage and was regarded as the ancestor, while Bai He, as Zhenjun's master and Cangtian's direct disciple, was regarded as the source ancestor.

Witnessed by the old Taoist priest, Fawen, and the Taoist priest Qian, the new Taoists worshipped again and again in the ancestral hall.

“Naturalization!”

The old Taoist sang.

For a moment, Ji Ming's muscles tensed up due to nervousness.

The soul in his body was inexplicably dazed, and he vaguely felt that the star gods around him were coming alive, their eyes rolling around.

The wildly moving eyes formed a sharp contrast with the mighty and sacred statue, which made Ji Ming feel nauseous.

After a long time, when this feeling gradually disappeared, he felt as if he was walking on clouds, as if he had just recovered from a serious illness.

Around them, most of the newly promoted Taoists had pale faces and trembling legs.

There were one or two knowledgeable people who were overjoyed and said, "If we can strip off a little bit of our true spirit and record it in the Dao books, then we have achieved "perfect merit"?!"

"Done?"

Ji Ming's eyes met with the white-faced Qian Dao and he gave him a probing look, and the other party nodded slightly in response.

Monk Fawen did not notice the eye contact between the two as he was staring at the two large stone tablets.

He thought that if his master, the Taoist official of the Earthly Cao, was transferred to the Heavenly Cao, he would be qualified to look through the Taoist scriptures in Taiping Mountain and thus catch the celestial being in one fell swoop.

Unfortunately, even if the master breaks through the fourth level of golden elixir, he may not be able to become a heavenly official. It is possible for him to reach the fifth level of fetal spirit.

Monk Fawen patted his shiny head, wondering why he had thought so much today. He had to hurry up and look for the "Stone Tai Sui".

Although this matter cannot be publicized, I think the teachers around me can be trusted. In order to complete the master's orders as soon as possible, I have to use the power around me.

"Huh!

Where is my trusted instructor Shilong?"

Inside the ancestral hall, the monk Fawen, who wanted to get closer to Shilong, found that Shilong had already left the ancestral hall. He then changed his mind and thought that maybe Shilong had chosen a good hermitage in the other courtyard.

Outside the ancestral hall, there was a small path in the courtyard. Qian Dao was in front and Ji Ming was behind.

This Taoist priest was Xuan Jing from Heguan. His senior brother, Ji Ming, followed behind and told him what the blue-eyed Taoist priestess had said about the "Stone Taisui" that day.

After listening to Ji Ming's story, Xuan Jing paused, then walked forward again and asked, "She didn't come here today?"

"No."

Ji Ming was also wondering why. After he revealed that Xuan Jing was the backer that day, he explicitly asked the female Taoist to come and take a look today, but she did not show up the whole day.

"This is a serious matter. I will go and capture her. You can choose to play in this courtyard for a while, or leave on your own."

Ji Ming stopped walking, bowed and said, "I have finished my business here. I have a private matter to attend to. I will say goodbye to you here."

Both of them are resolute and decisive, and they decided to separate and do their own things.

Wearing a bamboo hat, Ji Ming went straight down the gate of the villa without looking back, and walked towards the official road in the south. This time he was going to meet the Jin Ni brothers.

On the official road, Ji Ming took out the "Armor Horse Talisman" that was essential for traveling from his Shenhan bag, and slapped one on each leg. He traveled more than a hundred miles in one day. "Brother!"

"Good brother!"

Ji Ming walked very quickly, even faster than a horse. Suddenly, he heard a familiar voice behind his ear. Ji Ming walked even faster and turned from the official road into the forest.

"How did he catch up?"

Ji Ming could imagine the fat-headed and big-eared Tiger-Horse Zen Master without even turning around.

The small forest passed by in an instant. Just when Ji Ming was about to breathe a sigh of relief, he heard the call of Master Hu Ma from behind, "Brother, why did you leave the temple for no reason?"

I saw a steep cliff in front of me, with a sheer cliff on top.

Ji Ming controlled the crane's energy, flipped his body, and pushed his claws against the ground. The recoil force made him fly into the air and rush directly onto the cliff.

Facing the ground, the two claws pushed rapidly, and the recoil force made the body continue to rise.

"My dear brother, you have great secret skills."

Ji Ming looked in the direction of the sound and saw the Tiger-Horse Zen Master sitting cross-legged with five big-headed ghost monks supporting his fat butt with their hands raised.

He was holding a string of beads in his hand, grinning and waving, looking like a master.

Even on this nearly vertical cliff, the Five Ghosts were able to carry the Tiger-Horse Zen Master as if he were walking on flat ground.

"Five Ghosts Moving Technique!"

Ji Ming thought.

This technique is the result of the secret skill, the Five Ghosts Soul-Severing Palm, which was gradually refined into a magic spell. Even though this secret skill is popular among casual practitioners and not passed down by the orthodox sects, its power as a magic spell cannot be ignored.

"Brother, I have something urgent to attend to. Why don't you go back to the villa for now and let me come back to explain it later."

"Haha~"

Zen Master Hu Ma laughed several times, and his tone changed to become murderous, "You Songpo Sect member, I treated you with good intentions, but you played tricks on me."

At this time, they were more than ten feet above the ground. Several birds of prey were flying here. Ji Ming pushed out with one claw, and used the recoil force to grab a protruding rock on the wall. He hung on it like a monkey, staring at the Zen master who was approaching from below.

"Master, is there a misunderstanding here?"

Ji Ming was somewhat nervous facing a cultivator at the second stage of Qi Refining. Unless it was necessary, he really didn't want to fight with him.

"Misunderstand!"

The Zen master sneered continuously, secretly urging the five ghosts to speed up, and said: "I was wondering how you could practice such an unheard-of secret skill. It turns out that you have secretly joined Heguan."

"you saw it?"

Jiming asked.

The Zen master narrowed his eyes. He didn't expect that the other party was still testing his attitude at this time. So, let his old friend give up completely.

“I can’t afford to offend Taoist Xuan Jing, so I don’t dare to track his whereabouts.

But it's the same if I capture you now. When the time comes, you can copy down the secret skills you have learned for me, and then explain everything to Fa Wen, and I will save your life."

"it is good."

Ji Ming didn't hesitate and nodded resignedly.

Seeing Ji Ming's obedience, Master Hu Ma said happily, "Good brother, I will make room for you right now. After this matter is over, I will ensure that you will remain rich and powerful."

As he spoke, the Zen master actually moved on the five ghosts, revealing two pairs of lifting ghost hands.

"Good brother, I'll be right there."

Ji Ming loosened his claws and flew down, landing straight on the ghost seat. He was only three feet away from the Zen master. The two of them looked at each other inexplicably, with murderous eyes in both of them.

"I knew you were cheating!"

In an instant, they both spoke and struck out at the same time.

One palm was surrounded by a cold wind and the phantom sound of ghosts crying and wolves howling; the other palm was ordinary, but seemed to contain a tremendous force.
