I built the Jade Capital with the Netherworld

Chapter 144: Thousands of Gold to Buy Horse Bones

Lu Wujiu withdrew his gaze from the Goddess of Childbirth and bowed, saying:

"This is a matter of great importance. I am a humble and uneducated person, so how dare I make any rash comments? It should be decided by the senior and virtuous people of great prestige and prestige."

The Shangqing Sect Master smiled with satisfaction: "Since you are from the Xuan Sect, there is no need to be so reserved. Feel free to speak."

Lu Wujiu thought for a moment and said, "Since that's the case, I'll be frank! There's an old saying: arsenic as medicine can prolong life, while malt sugar can kill. It's never the knife that kills, but the person wielding it. Fellow Daoist Yan was also controlled by Hua Chaoge and had no choice. In my opinion, even if you made a mistake, your crime doesn't deserve the death penalty."

"What a great idea! Arsenic can be used as medicine to prolong life, while malt sugar can contain poison and kill people! Fellow Daoist, you use cowpox to protect the people and fight poison with poison, which is exactly in line with the Tao." A voice of praise came from the headmaster of Shenxiao.

"Daoyou Lu is absolutely right. There's no good or bad weapon; it's all about the intentions of the user. The Goddess of Childbirth was forced to do so." The head of the Shangqing Sect nodded and looked at the crowd. "What do you think, fellow Daoists?"

Everyone looked at each other and expressed their agreement.

Some even said, "Fellow Daoist Yan is one of the key witnesses to the plague in the Nine Paths Land. If we kill him now, wouldn't that be fulfilling the murderer's wish?"

This statement immediately drew a wave of approval.

However, the Goddess of Childbirth did spread the smallpox plague after all, and she even benefited from it and was promoted to the top three. It would be unacceptable to let her go lightly.

Therefore, after some discussion among the Taoist friends, they decided to temporarily punish the Goddess of Childbirth by making her face the wall for ten years, and then deal with the murderer after finding him.

And because Lu Wujiu had acquired the power of demons and monsters, he was the perfect caretaker, so they simply entrusted the Liangyi Sect to take care of the matter.

Lu Wujiu gladly accepted it.

After the matter was settled, the monks no longer wanted to stay and they all dispersed and returned to their mountain gates.

Not long after, the voices in Lao Lu Temple gradually died down, and the noisy scene faded away. Only the soft ringing of copper bells on the eaves remained, and the temple returned to its former tranquility.

However, the old Luguan disciples looked at Lu Wujiu with fanatical eyes.

He reached the top three in the Shuangdao ladder, saved Dawn from danger, and chatted and laughed with the nine major Xuanmen leaders... Any one of his achievements would be enough to make them admire him!

How can we even talk about gathering them into one person?
It can be imagined that from now on, the leader of the Liangyi Sect and the guest official of Lao Lu will be famous throughout the world.

Feeling proud, the disciples of Lao Lu Temple all straightened their chests unconsciously. Their identities as former Dongxu disciples, who were like lost dogs, quietly faded away at this moment.

"Congratulations, sir, for reaching the top three!"

Liu Qingtan walked over, bowed and congratulated him, with a lingering sense of disbelief in his eyes.

"Congratulations, Master, for reaching the top three. The great path is in sight!"

Wang Ying and Lao Lushanshen appeared out of nowhere, walked over quickly, bowed, and looked very happy.

"Hahaha, congratulations, Dihua shines with joy."

Lu Wujiu smiled and bowed in return. His eyes swept quietly over the crowd and looked at Jiang Wenyu behind the crowd and waved.

Jiang Wenyu, who was watching the conversation with the old law senior with envy, unexpectedly saw Lu Wujiu waving at him. When he turned around in surprise, there was no one else behind him.

He subconsciously pointed to his chest and realized that Lu Wujiu was summoning him. He was so frightened that his old face turned red and he hurried away.

"Disciple Jiang Wenyu pays homage to the Master and congratulates the Master on crushing the calamity clouds and ascending to the third rank. From now on, purple air will flow from the foot of Laolu Mountain for 30,000 miles to the east."

As expected of an old hand, he spoke with flourishes as soon as he opened his mouth.

Lu Wujiu smiled and said, "With the Nine Mysterious Sects in front of you, you still dare to speak up for justice. Your courage is commendable! This is the Hunling Pearl, which can add ten years of Taoism. Work hard and let's reach the Great Dao together."

As he spoke, he flicked his finger and shot a ball of innate Qi wrapped in the ink of the True Dao over.

Jiang Wenyu was shocked!
He is now just ten years away from achieving the Great Perfection of the Jiazi Stage. With this Hunling Pearl, he has a chance of reaching the second level.

"Disciple, disciple..." Jiang Wenyu, who was about to say "no reward without merit", finally turned his words into endless gratitude: "Disciple thanks the master for the treasure!"

I wonder how many disciples were envious and jealous of this scene.

For ordinary cultivators, ten years of cultivation is the magical power that can only be acquired through ten years of hard work.

It may even take twenty years.

After all, not everyone can leave their job to practice.

Jiang Wenyu was rewarded handsomely for a questioning remark, saving countless efforts. How could anyone not be envious of him?
Everyone wishes time could go back so they can go back and wave their flags and cheer.

The ordinary disciples were extremely envious, but Wang Ying and Lao Lu Mountain God were more terrified.

Lu Wujiu's public reward was like paying a huge sum of money for horse bones, but it was also an expression of dissatisfaction!
Faced with a powerful enemy, how can they cope with the situation when only Jiang Wenyu, who has less than 60 years of cultivation, dares to question them?

It was also their fault that they were so frightened that they completely forgot that Lu Wujiu was a disciple of the Netherworld Samsara Sect. How could he be accused of a false crime by this group of righteous Xuanmen people?

While the two were feeling uneasy, Lu Wujiu remained as normal as ever.

He inquired about the situation of Lao Lu Temple and Liang Yi Sect, and told them to practice with peace of mind. When he turned to leave, Liu Qingtan said worriedly:
"Sir, since you've exposed Hua Chaoge's conspiracy in public, will he take the opportunity to retaliate?"

Lu Wujiu smiled and said, "Revenge will definitely come, but unless I die, he will definitely not suffer any consequences."

Liu Qingtan was surprised: "Why?"

Lu Wujiu said: "The escalation of the conflict will not benefit either side."

He hadn't dared to say this before, but after experiencing today's farce, he was extremely certain.

He had spent so much effort to create this God-given opportunity, but in the end, the righteous Xuanmen did not rush forward to dismember and eat the body, but instead let Hua Chaoge escape. He was extremely disappointed!

What a bullshit Xuanmen orthodox path, it's nothing but a bunch of despicable people who want to gain fame and reputation but are afraid of getting their reputation tainted.

He finally understood that although the Xuanmen sects in the world claim to be famous and upright, in fact, they all have their own calculations. Unless they are sure of victory, they will not take action easily.

To put it nicely, this is called everyone has their own constraints and they have no choice when they are in the world.

To put it bluntly, this means being cautious about doing great things and forgetting righteousness when seeing small profits!
Fortunately, he informed Zhao Wuji that the target was the Goddess of Fertility. If the target had been Hua Chaoge from the beginning, no one would have responded.

The same is true for the Fangzhong School.

If Hua Chaoge had taken the initiative at that time, the final word would have been cast.

Lu Wujiu was unable to explain his reasoning.

But he allowed Xuanmen to question him, thus ruining the good situation.

All I can say is that the Six Dynasties were nothing but private schemes of their own factions.

……

With Lu Wujiu's comfort, Liu Qingtan breathed a sigh of relief and led the disciples of Laolu Temple back to the temple.

Before leaving, he hesitated to speak and finally kept silent.

But I want to ask, how did the disciple of Lao Luguan teleport to this "ink platform" in an instant?
Wang Ying, Lao Lushanshen, and even Jiang Wenyu also went back to take charge of the overall situation.

Soon, only Lu Wujiu and the Goddess of Fertility Yan Qi were left at the scene.

"My name is Yan Qi. Thank you for saving my life!"

After the crowd dispersed, Yan Qi nodded, lowered her brows, and bowed with a look of gratitude on her face.

She was not a stupid person, so she naturally saw that the so-called facing the wall and reflecting on one's mistakes was just a polite remark!
She was able to survive thanks to Lu Wujiu's kindness.

"The fairy has turned from evil to good at the critical moment. How can I stand by and watch her die? However, Hua Chaoge may kill people to silence them at any time. It is better to be careful, fellow Taoist."

Lu Wujiu reminded.

Yan Qi is a top-three cultivator and shares the same origin with him. How could the many Xuanmen disciples be so kind as to send him to strengthen his strength?

After all, it's just getting rid of a hot potato!
Yan Qi is a stain that Hua Chaoge cannot erase, so Hua Chaoge must bear a grudge against her and there is a high possibility that she will assassinate her.

Yan Qi reached out and lifted her hair from her forehead, straightened her skirt, and said calmly, "I've been lucky enough to reach the top three. Although it's hard to challenge Hua Chaoge's brilliance, if I'm on guard, it's not a foolish dream to stay away from him."

"That's good!" Lu Wujiu nodded, not too worried about it.

The power of the demons lies in their concealment and cunningness, and their escape techniques are truly unique. It is not easy to catch the disciples of the demons.

Especially the demons who have reached the top three!

The reason why Yan Qi was arrested before was because she was plotting unintentionally.

If he falls into the same pit again, I can only say that he deserves to be silenced.

"This is not the place to talk, fairy, please!"

At Lu Wujiu's invitation, the two of them immediately went to Lao Lu Temple.

To be honest, Lu Wujiu was quite curious about the Goddess of Childbirth's method of "secretly transferring the pregnancy". He wanted to find out more about it and ask for information from the Fangzhong faction at the same time.

Not long after, the two of them arrived at Lao Lu Temple. When they entered the chariot room, Lu Wujiu immediately started to ask Yan Qi in a roundabout way. Yan Qi did not hide anything and told him everything.

——The method of secretly changing the fetus is originally derived from the charm of the demon. Even if she doesn't say it, Lu Wujiu can slowly figure it out. In this case, it is better to take the initiative to break this window paper and make a good relationship.

After hearing this, Lu Wujiu was surprised and said, "Turning reality into emptiness, isn't this a power that only the top three have?"

The power of ghosts and monsters lies in shadows.

Yijia controls the shadow;

The second level is to turn the virtual into the real, and at the same time derive the power to control the plague.

The top three are to transform reality into illusion, and the power of the plague is taken to a higher level, and the properties of the plague can be modified at the microscopic level.

The method used by the Goddess of Fertility to secretly transfer the fetus is to take out the fertilized egg or fetus by turning it into something virtual, and then place it in the foster mother's body without anyone noticing.

"I have been stuck in the second rank of Great Perfection for nearly thirty years. Although I have never reached the third rank, I have also grasped some of its strength. It is not difficult to transform the fetus into emptiness. This can be regarded as the legacy of my bloodline!"

Yan Qi said frankly.

"I see!"

Lu Wujiu nodded, feeling somewhat envious.

He simply asked directly about the nature of the power of ghosts and monsters, saving him the trouble of groping in the dark.

After some discussion, the reserved Yan Qi gradually relaxed.

Only then did I realize that Lu Wujiu, who was known for his debates with many scholars, was not strict in private, and was even very humble.

This made her unable to help but ask:

"I have a question that I don't understand. Could you please answer it for me?"

"But it doesn't matter."

"They say that the Way of Heaven is to take from the excess and provide for the deficiency. But when I look at the world, some people cannot have children, while others drown their children and abandon their bodies. How can this be the Way of Heaven?"

Lu Wujiu thought for a moment and said:
"The evil of drowning babies to seek children, as you have witnessed, is actually a manifestation of humanity's self-imprisonment. People desire sons and dislike daughters. Isn't this the way of humanity, to take from what is lacking and to supplement what is in excess?"

Yan Qi pressed on, "So, humanity is wrong?"

Lu Wujiu shook his head: "We all just want to live a better life! If there were no pressure to survive, who would choose a baby boy over a baby girl?"

Yan Qi was silent for a while, then asked, "Why is this so absurd?"

Lu Wujiu was a little surprised. He didn't expect that Yan Qi, who had just escaped from a life-and-death crisis, would still care about such things.

Is this a desire to make amends for the smallpox plague that harmed the people of the world?
"The alchemy furnace burns all the millet from thousands of families, and the yellow talisman and cinnabar eat the fat." Lu Wujiu sighed: "If the fairy is really willing, it is the right thing to do to practice hard."

Yan Qi's hairpin trembled for a long time, and she said in a low voice: "The further I go down the path I'm cultivating, I'm afraid I'll get deeper and deeper into trouble."

Lu Wujiu pondered for a moment, then took out a booklet and handed it over.

"What is this?" Yan Qi was surprised. She took it and looked at it, and saw three big characters written in a flamboyant style on the cover - "Vaccine Record".

"Summer floods can breach dikes thousands of miles long, but they can also moisten the crops. Plague poison, if used effectively, can alleviate the suffering of the people, just like cowpox. Now that you have reached the third rank, you might as well try this approach."

"The principle of fighting poison with poison?"

"That's it!"

Lu Wujiu nodded.

Yan Qi's face lit up with joy, and she quickly stood up and bowed, "I want to thank you, fellow Daoist, for pointing out the right path!"

"You are too polite, Fairy. I am not sure if this path is feasible, so it cannot be called a great path."

"That's better than running around like a headless fly! What's more, fellow Taoist has already put it into practice!"

Yan Qi still had a look of certainty on her face.

Lu Wujiu let out a sigh and changed the subject: "What are your plans next, Fairy?"

"I am grateful for your help, fellow Daoist. I will follow your orders!"

"In that case, I will speak frankly. The Liang Yi Sect that I founded is in need of personnel. If you don't mind, Fairy, why don't you join us and work for us?"

"Thank you for taking me in, fellow Daoist. This is a blessing I could not ask for more."

"good!"

Lu Wujiu nodded, and then he used a talisman to call Jiang Wenyu, asking him to arrange a place for Yan Qi to live, and to temporarily suspend his clerk position.

Of course, this is a way to reflect on one's mistakes.

After seeing Yan Qi off, Lu Wujiu let out a sigh and couldn't help rubbing his eyebrows. A feeling of fatigue came over him.

After all the trouble, it turned into a complete farce.

He even completely broke off relations with the Fangzhong faction!

However, it's better to break up.

Lu Wujiu suspected that the assassin who killed Lao Luguan during the Dongyuan Incident was most likely a killer sent by the Fangzhong faction.

He really knows all about room parties.

Taking the opportunity to eliminate potential threats is absolutely the optimal solution.

Fortunately, this time was not without gain.

The two major Daoist sects, Ranzhen and Taiyin Lianxing, have both reached the third rank. They dare not say that they are invincible below the fourth rank, but they are also in the second echelon of the Nine Daos, and everyone has to give them some face.

Especially for Ran Zhendao, it was a surprise that he could reach the top three.

He used up all the elixirs from the Fangzhong Sect and pushed Ran Zhen Dao to the second level of perfection, but there was no further progress to be made.

Even if it is dyed into real human leather, there is still a feeling that it is still one step away from perfection.

Therefore, he simply tried to make the fake look real and used ink to condense a fake Laozi temple. As a result, by chance, with the help of nearly half of the world's great Taoist masters, he successfully ranked among the top three.

It can be said that it is a matter of time and fate!

The supernatural powers have made great progress.

However, he really didn't have the energy to explore at this moment. After making sure that he had no worries for the time being, he immediately escaped into the human skin book, meditated, and recovered his energy.

Little did he know that while he was meditating, the news of cowpox spread throughout the world as the monks left.
