Wet viviparity

Chapter 673: Caihu, detailed arrangements
Happy times are always short. After a small banquet, the guests gradually dispersed.

Shoutou girl came from afar, so Ji Ming naturally kept her with great hospitality and let her stay temporarily in a house in the mountains, next to the spiritual peach tree.

He asked Shu Si to carefully arrange a few Heguan Taoist boys to accompany the girl and enjoy the mountain scenery. He also told Shoutou Girl that they would talk again later.

In the Shushi Cave, inside the small temple.

Xun Shisanlang was invited here, and seeing Lingxuzi's solemn expression, he knew that there was something important to discuss.

Ji Ming briefly talked about the grudge between himself and Fu Beigong, focusing on a new decree he had issued, and solemnly asked Xun Shisanlang to help pay attention to the relevant developments in the Leibu Office regarding this matter.

“That old demon is not a disciple of the Taoist school, he is nameless in the Heavenly Court, and he does not have the ability to pass on talismans and pray for rain.

Even if he could bribe a few minor officials of the Thunder Department, at most it would rain a few times, but this amount of rain would not help in the Liling Mountains.

Xun Shisanlang didn't take it seriously. Unless the affairs of the lower world became as serious as those of the two old men Hook and Sickle in the past, where they gathered together in several states to resist the immortals and gods, the Thunder Department would not interfere with the natural operation of the world.

Ever since the rise of Qi-refining and alchemy in the previous dynasty of Da Xia, matters such as punishing evil and promoting good, exorcising evil spirits and warding off disasters were rarely ordered by the Thunder Department itself. At most, the gods in the department would occasionally come across them and punish them.

He then explained the situation to Ji Ming in detail, and said that the Yunyu Temple was of concern.

There are many natural gods in this temple, which are closely related to the Thunder Department and the Cloud Department, and are good at causing wind and rain. The unorthodox sects have always been in collusion with them, not to mention that they are in the same place in the south of the sky, so there must be a connection between them.

Ji Mingshen agreed with this. It seemed that if the decree was to be effective this time, the first thing to guard against was the monsters and demons in the Yunyu Temple of Luoyin Lake.

Ever since he started practicing in Tiannan, he had heard of the reputation of Yunyu Temple, but he had rarely had in-depth contact with them. This time, Ji Ming wanted to see how powerful these so-called lake thieves or hairy gods were.

"correct!"

Xun Shisanlang suddenly remembered something, and after a moment's hesitation, he said to Ji Ming, "There is something I heard by chance in the office. Just listen to it. I cannot guarantee whether it is true or not."

"Don't worry, I'll take care of it."

Ji Mingdao.

"Do you know which sect the immortals who have achieved enlightenment in the past in Panku Mountain are following now?"

Facing Xun Shisanlang's question, Ji Ming hesitated for a moment, then pretended to ask casually, "Could he be a disciple of one of the immortal gods in your Thunder Department?"

"You guessed it right." Xun Shisanlang didn't expect Lingxuzi to guess it right by accident, so he asked again: "Why don't you guess again, which immortal god in the Thunder Department is that?"

Ji Ming's face was not looking good anymore, he said in a deep voice: "Could it be that Deputy Commander Shen Xiao?"

Xun Shisanlang looked at Ji Ming in surprise, which made Ji Ming more certain of his guess. Unexpectedly, the next moment, Xun Shisanlang burst into laughter and said, "You really overestimate these side door immortals. If they could have been paired with the deputy commander, the two Liling battles would not have been so easy.

But having said that, this immortal god and the deputy commander are indeed closely related, and they look like one person."

"Who?"

"The Divine Tiger under the deputy commander's seat is called Master Caihu by the Thunder Department. He is now practicing in the secret place of Jiuzhen in Liling. His shadow can be seen behind many major events in Tiannan. You must be most careful of him."

"Master Caihu! Is he a Buddhist disciple?"

Jiming asked.

“He is just a Taoist and Buddhist practitioner, and a genius among demons and gods.

In ancient times, when he followed the deputy commander to quell the rebellion in the human world, he could not control his evil nature, and he was in a killing mood. No matter human, demon, god or ghost, they were all killed violently, so he was sent to the land of Jiuzhen to cultivate his body and mind, meditate and gain enlightenment. "Ji Ming frowned, he once had an extremely uneasy guess that the deputy commander of Shenxiao was secretly plotting to take advantage of his second soul.

The source of this speculation is a revelation in the words of the Evil Dog Priest before his death, that the people who have set their sights on the "King of Wealth" have a deep connection with the True Spirit Sect and the Thunder Department.

In addition, he learned from Zhu Yu Xiu that one of the incarnations of this deputy commander of the Thunder Department was the ancestor of the Zhao family of the Zhenling Sect. He was revered as the Fourth Ancestor of the Black Tiger in the Zhenling Sect and was in possession of the ancient treasure "Five Blessings Talisman".

Now, after hearing what Xun Shisanlang said, he felt that Master Caihu was very suspicious.

No matter what, Ji Ming always speculated about the worst outcome. Even if Zen Master Caihu was behind the scenes plotting to gain favor, he would not rule out the possibility that the deputy commander was the mastermind behind the scenes.

After all, even a powerful person like that couldn't deal with Chi Shen Zi personally, including his Zen Master Caihu.

Ji Ming was also very curious about what new actions the person behind the scenes would take after the evil dog priest died in the small blessed land. His second soul body had been staying in the Locking Sin Well, quietly meditating on the two Avici Qis.

To be honest, Ji Ming has not secretly released his second soul until today because he is worried about encountering another accident.

The other party's background is much deeper than he imagined. The first time he failed, it was because Ji Ming was manipulating him behind the scenes. But the second time he makes a move, I'm afraid it won't be something Ji Ming can control secretly.

Ji Ming couldn't afford the gamble, so he could only "suppress" Chi Shenzi and make him meditate on the two Avici Qis in the well. As soon as he attained the first fruit, he could perform the Buddhist initiation method and transfer all the Buddhist teachings, along with the karma, to the next life.

He had no similar experience and no guidance from Buddhist predecessors, so he had no idea how effective this method was.

The matter of Chi Shen Zi is not something that can be accomplished overnight, and the Taoist temple of Lady Nanhua Huode in Jihengshan is safe enough. Ji Ming does not have to worry about this matter and can focus on his current affairs.

After talking with Xun Shisanlang and receiving these tips, Ji Ming was very grateful. He gave him some small gifts, accompanied him in the mountains, and played with him for a few days before sending him back to heaven with courtesy.

After Xun Shisanlang left, Shu Si came over and delivered a letter from the upper mansion, saying the contents of the letter: "The head of Kuangshan has relented, but Baicao Zhenren who is being held in the Mount Shi must be released."

"It was expected."

Jimin nodded and said.

"Master, you've gone to so much trouble to get Kuangshan to accept your good friend Shoutounu as a disciple, but do you want to reconcile with the Kuangshan Xinglin lineage?"

"What do you think?"

Jiming asked.

"The master's plan is so imaginative that I really can't figure it out."

"Haha, you know very well that I want to recommend this girl to heaven and enter the palace to serve White Crane Boy. If I don't give her a good background, even if White Crane Boy is very interested in this girl, he will hesitate to allow her to sit under him."

Shu Si was a little surprised and said, "Master, Baihe Tongzi is such an immortal, why would he care about her background as a casual cultivator? Besides, her master Pei Xian is not an unknown person either."

"It's different, it's different. This prejudice has nothing to do with Taoism."

Ji Ming couldn't help but be wary of this worry, as he had great hopes for the White Crane Boy.

Shu Si asked worriedly, "Master, you have made all the arrangements in advance without informing her. Will she really accept your kindness?"

"That depends on how it's arranged."

Ji Ming said.
