Wet viviparity

Chapter 245 Shatan, Re-employment
In Soseki Cave, Ji Ming did not expect that he would receive good news from Heguan so soon.

In the letter from Senior Brother Zhu Wen, there was also a set of words about face and substance, and his words implied that he hoped that he would maintain the face of Heguan.

Ji Ming didn't care about this set of statements. As long as his Taoism was good enough, he would have both the face and the inside, just like a local master. When he reached a certain level, all the monsters like the old ape would compete to be the inside, and even regard the inside as his face.

After giving some instructions to Shu Si, Ji Ming did not bother to wait for Qian Geng's news and immediately set off for Hemingfang.

The sky is big, the earth is big, and cultivation is the most important. After defeating the evil and subduing the dragon, Ji Ming can truly settle down in the three realms. Only then can his soul control the powerful warriors, and he can decipher the "Big and Small Zhoutian Douxiu Formation" from the talisman in the Lingguang Shenjiang chapter.

Finally, only by using this formation to refine the Star General will he be truly qualified to earn the resources to form a pill in the second all-out battle.

His plan is now stuck at the strength of his soul. Every day he delays, he loses an advantage in the future.

Hemingfang is west of Lanyinfang and together with Heshanfang constitutes the territory of Guye Province. It is said to be the only province in the world, but its area is about the same size as Luoyin Lake in Tianqingfang in the north.

Xiaoxi Mountain is close to Heshan in the northeast, but it takes some walking to reach Heming in the south.

Although Ji Ming flew through the air and traveled day and night, he had to get off the horse every three to five days. This was because the true energy in his body was depleted too much.

Before arriving at Hemingfang, Ji Ming passed by Heguan, but stopped there.

He stayed outside the temple for a few days, found out the information he wanted, and after confirming it again and again, he calmed down and set off for Yanxu Mountain in this area.

When they were about to arrive at Yanxu Mountain, the forest on the left side of the road suddenly darkened, and a big red sedan chair led by ghost soldiers was carried out and stopped in front of Ji Ming.

A folding fan extended from the curtain in front of the bridge. The curtain was opened to reveal a handsome white scholar's face. He half-closed his eyes, as if he was dozing, and whispered: "In the hazy shadows, the secret orders are as strong as mountains. In the nest of the green heart, I walk alone without fear."

"The commander of the Toad Society, the Taoist ghost servant Liang Shusheng."

Ji Ming said to himself, not daring to neglect the visitor, guessing that the other party was here to convey the specific information of his first secret mission.

"Twenty-two days later, in the "Three Insects Spiritual Square" located in the southwest of the thirteen major camps of Lanyinfang, at the gateway to Liling, you will go to the square with Linshui and Jiehuo to meet a cultivator who has secretly surrendered in the Panku Mountain."

A black talisman flew out of the sedan chair and fell into Ji Ming's hands.

"Remember, if the person cannot take it away, use this 'Soul Searching Yin Talisman' to bring back the things in his brain."

"clear."

Ji Ming responded.

After the other party left, Ji Ming put away the talisman. Twenty-two days were enough for him to subdue the evil and the dragon, adding a layer of strength to this first secret mission.

In front of Yanxu Mountain, Zhu Wen had been waiting here for a long time, with a boy by his side.

After seeing Ji Ming coming from afar on horseback, he straightened his clothes, led the boy forward, and said to the boy: "Minghui, see, this is the Tao seed that came out of our temple. You will be a role model on the road of cultivation in the future."

"My role model is my master, the current master of Heguan." The boy said proudly.

When Ji Ming came closer, the boy bowed very obediently and said, "Uncle Zhang, I am Tong Minghui, and I am honored to meet you."

Being called "Uncle Master", Ji Ming felt a little dazed.

He has been practicing for a long time and has never thought about his nephews or disciples. Now that he is called uncle, he feels as if he has grown a generation older without realizing it.

With a snap of his fingers, two firewood talismans fell into the boy's arms.

Zhu Wen reminded Minghui who was just in high spirits, and said with a smile: "How rude! Why don't you thank Uncle Zhang!"

"Thank you, uncle."

Minghui took the two talismans and thanked sincerely.

"These two talismans were made exclusively by your Uncle Zhang, no one else has them.

One is called "Nanghuo", which can be used to make elixirs and tools; the other is called "Huo Dou", which can be used to fight and sustain strength. You must learn this enterprising spirit well."

Minghui looked at the two thin pieces of talisman paper, his eyes changed slightly. The young boy felt some weight vaguely, but he couldn't put his finger on it. Soon he was immersed in the novelty and joy of obtaining the talisman.

Zhu Wen shook his head, lamenting that his nephew was still young and didn't understand the meaning of this. This might be a good thing. When you first start practicing, you need to be fearless and ignorant. "Brother, please go up the mountain."

Ji Ming and Zhu Wen went into the mountains together. This was the first time they walked side by side since the examination of corruption in the separate courtyard. They walked in the mountains like ordinary people, and neither of them spoke first.

Ji Ming was still thinking about what had just happened. After walking through three mountains in a row, Ji Ming finally spoke. But his words made Zhu Wen at a loss as to how to respond.

"Master is gone?!"

Seeing Zhu Wen remained silent, he said calmly: "The overall situation in the temple has been decided, why bother hiding it from me?"

"I'm not hiding it from you." Zhu Wen breathed a sigh of relief, as if he had let out the depression in his chest, and said bitterly: "Master instructed before he died that only when the eldest brother officially took over and refined the ancestral master's talisman can I tell you the news."

There was another silence, which continued to the edge of the evil pond.

Zhu Wen was surprised at Ji Ming's calmness. He guessed that he must have known about his master's death in advance. After all, everyone knew that it was only a matter of time before his master passed away.

"You know Master. He values ​​the inheritance of Heguan more than his own life." Zhu Wen followed Ji Ming closely and said, "Before he passed away, he always said that you were a gift from heaven. The best thing he did was to send you to Zirong Peak."

After hearing this, Ji Ming's soul moved slightly and asked, "Master, did you receive the letter I sent him?"

"No, the letter has been kept by the eldest brother."

"That's really unfortunate!" Ji Ming said regretfully.

He really hoped that Taoist Feihu could achieve the fourth level of Golden Elixir, but there are always regrets in the world, and this world does not revolve around him alone.

"Junior brother, don't blame the senior brother. He is the only one holding up the temple now. I am not capable of taking on important tasks. Wen Daoyu has been in the Guancai Cave for a long time and is always mysterious."

"Wen Daoyu!"

Ji Ming hadn't heard from this person for a long time, and subconsciously almost ignored him.

"Come to think of it, you two don't often practice in the temple, but you have made a great name for yourself in the mountains, even on par with the three wonderful masters Zhang Xiaoyuan, Jueguang, and Huyan."

Zhu Wen's face was full of joy and sadness, and he said, "If outsiders don't know the inside story of our temple, they would think that our Heguan has revived its former glory and is about to prosper."

Everyone understands the problems in Heguan. The only Taoist master who possessed great prestige and convinced all the disciples has passed away. He was also the old master who was good at networking and had extensive connections.

Master has passed away. Can Xuan Jing inherit Master’s connections?

Not to mention other things, just on Lingguang Jiafeng, it is difficult to establish a relationship with the "Dragon Diaoweng" of Lingpixiu, who also came from Heguan and was six or seven generations younger than them.

"How long is the Master's life span?"

Ji Ming asked as he stood by the evil pond which was shrouded in mist and filled with poisonous clouds.

At the side, Zhu Wen seemed to be thinking out of tune with Ji Ming, and was in a daze for a long time before he laughed heartily and said, "Master has accumulated 2,322 Yin De, which translates to more than 23 years of Yin Longevity."

Ji Ming nodded. It was not much different from what he had calculated.

"It's good that you have the intention, Junior Brother. It's hard to find an official position in the underworld.

When he was alive, Master always said that he had gained twenty years of extra life, and that living a second life was a great fortune, and he would send us a dream when he had the chance.

After hearing this, Ji Ming just smiled. It is difficult for a ghost to become a saint after ten thousand damnations. The days below will not be so easy. It is not so easy to live again.

Ji Ming had considered the issue of his master's job transfer and re-employment in the underworld.

The only relationship he has with the Burnt-faced Ghost King is that of a person of the same mind, which is of no use.

The only feasible way at the moment is to work through the goddess of music behind the Nangyi nun and send the master to the place where the burnt-faced ghost king preaches at the altar of the cemetery, so as to avoid him becoming a lowly ghost in the cruel underworld and having his life span robbed.

As long as the master is stable down there, gets a job under some ghost or god, and has a stable source of good karma to prolong his lifespan, or, like Qian Geng, he can transform into a ghost like Yaksha or Rakshasa, which greatly increases his lifespan, then Heguan may be able to be reunited.
