Simultaneous travel: I am rampant in the domestic area

Chapter 97 Tianzong’s traitor Li Miaozhen, join in!

"Before revealing all the mysteries, I have something to ask you, Taoist priest." The seal in Russell's hand changed, and together with Li Miaozhen, he erected a barrier that covered the entire hall.

Qing Pingzi nodded slightly and said, "Young man, please speak."

"Just now when the Taoist priest was unconscious, it seemed that there was a golden light of merit protecting his body. I see that what the Taoist priest is practicing is not the Earth Sect's method. Please explain my doubts." Russell expressed his doubts.

"..." Qing Pingzi was silent for a moment, then formed the Xuantian Finger with one hand and pressed it against his Dantian. A golden light suddenly lit up from his Dantian, and he took it out. It was a square seal: "Because of this thing."

As soon as the mark appeared, the incense of the three statues in the hall was immediately attracted.

"A treasure from the incense god?" Li Miaozhen asked in surprise.

It is recorded in the Tianzong classics that during the ancient Human Emperor period, there was a kind of practice called the Incense and Fire Shinto.

The core of this practice is to occupy a river or a famous mountain by force, and then build your own temple on the occupied land, recruit believers to burn incense and offer sacrifices. When the number of believers reaches a certain level, they will slowly condense a magic weapon called "Divine Seal".

The mountain god or water god holding the divine seal is invincible in their domain, which is the so-called divine domain.

"I don't know the origin of this thing, but it can be used to condense incense and accumulate merit." Qingpingzi nodded, although this was the first time he learned about the origin of his secret treasure.

"How come the Taoist priest has this?" Li Miaozhen asked.

Incense and fire Shintoism was once popular in ancient times, but for some unknown reason, it quickly disappeared within a period of time and no news was heard of it again.

"It was discovered by chance when Qingyun Temple was built." Qingpingzi replied.

Originally, he did not know the function of this divine seal, and he had no idea what to do with it after the sacrifice, so he just regarded it as a decorative magic tool and placed it in the hall.

Until later, one time he stopped a runaway carriage on the edge of a cliff, saving a family of three from disaster. The family came to Qingyun Temple to fulfill their vows and offer incense. He suddenly developed a connection with the Incense Seal and learned about its efficacy.

The power of merit is extremely mysterious. Unless one is a cultivator of the Earth Sect, it is useless to accumulate it. Qingpingzi thought that this was the blessing left by the predecessors of the Earth Sect. From that day on, he did more good deeds, gathered believers, and accumulated incense.

In the next ten years, as his fame grew, his incense became more popular, and his merits and virtues accumulated, he gradually figured out the function of the divine seal and was gradually able to use the merits and virtues of the incense to condense his Nascent Soul body.

"Has the Taoist priest ever talked to Zi Lian about the divine seal?" Russell asked.

"Of course." Qingpingzi nodded decisively.

Because in his opinion, there is nothing wrong with this. Among the practitioners in the world, if there are two sects that are least likely to produce evil people in the secular sense, they are only the Tianzong and Dizong of Taoism.

The "righteousness" of both is written in the scriptures of cultivation. Even evil people cannot practice the skills of the two sects of heaven and earth.

"Oh..." Li Miaozhen sighed.

If the previous Di Zong was indeed as he thought, it was a pity that now, except for the 36 Di Zong Taoist priests of the Tiandihui, the rest had been polluted and fallen into demons.

"If the Saint and the Young Master have no other questions, could you please tell me what happened to me?" Seeing that Russell and Li Miaozhen had different expressions, Qingpingzi had a bad premonition in his heart.

"Master, please look." Russell drew out the Dream Witch Spinal Sword from his waist and lightly touched the fourth joint of the twelve-section spinal sword. A rune then lit up, and water vapor rose around it, condensing into a water mirror.

The picture appeared in the water mirror. Qingpingzi focused his attention and immediately found the figure filled with black aura who was fighting with Russell.

"Monster!" Qing Pingzi was startled for a moment, then froze in place, saying in disbelief, "This is... me? How could this be? How could this be..."

Having been able to cultivate to the pinnacle of the fourth rank with just a few fragments of Taoist scriptures, Qingpingzi was certainly no incompetent. After his initial panic, he quickly calmed down and began to decipher his own abnormal behavior. Linking this to the reactions of Russell and Li Miaozhen, he quickly zeroed in on his suspects. However, even now, he was still baffled: "Brother Zilian? Why?"

"A disaster has occurred in the Earth Sect. Most of the disciples have been possessed by demons, and Zi Lian is one of them." After all, the matter of the Earth Sect was of great importance, so Li Miaozhen did not reveal the whole story, but only explained that Zi Lian had been possessed by demons.

"Is that so..." Qingpingzi sighed. He never thought that such a big thing would happen in the place that was like a holy place in his heart.

"But I still don't understand. Since the Taoist priest has been possessed by a demon, then who was it that fought against the 'monster' last night and in the past six months?" Li Miaozhen asked puzzledly, because not only the residents of Bozhou City, but also they themselves were eyewitnesses.

"Indeed, the monster has only appeared at night in the past six months. I have fought with it several times and have corresponding memories." "If nothing unexpected happens, it should be the effect of the Incense Seal." Russell took the Incense Seal from Qingpingzi, probed with his spiritual sense, and could feel the weakness of the mark.

Russell was originally very curious as to why the monster could withstand his attack of 70% of his strength without being killed, but now he can roughly guess the reason.

Zi Lian discussed Taoism with Qing Pingzi for three days, hoping to obtain the Incense Seal from him, but their strength was only comparable, and Qing Pingzi also had a rare treasure that could enhance combat power and restrain magic.

If they really fought, Zi Lian thought he was no match for his opponent, but if he just left in disgrace, it would be difficult to calm his resentment, so he wanted to bring Qingpingzi down with him without him knowing.

The demonic energy of the Earth Sect and the power of merit and virtue have the same origin, so Qingpingzi was naturally not contaminated by any accident. However, in addition to the power of merit and virtue, Qingpingzi also has the power of incense accumulated from saving people from danger several times in the past fifty years. Under the protection of this incense power, the magic power and demonic energy in Qingpingzi's body are maintained in a delicate balance.

Do good during the day and fall into evil at night.

Whenever Qingpingzi fell into evil, the power of incense offered by the people of Bozhou day and night would be inspired by the people's calls, and would extract Qingpingzi's spiritual wisdom and condense it into a golden body of incense.

It is precisely because of this that monsters in the past have only acted on instinct.

As for why Qingpingzi was completely possessed tonight.

In fact, Russell should be blamed. He also intended to kill the monster with that sword, but the incense recognized its master, so he naturally would not let Qingpingzi get hurt. He actually used up fifty years of incense power to block the attack for him.

Without the suppression of the power of incense, Qingpingzi naturally found it difficult to resist the evil spirit that even a second-grade cultivator could be affected by.

When Russell explained his guess, Li Miaozhen seemed to be lost in thought, and Qingpingzi smiled bitterly: "It turns out that I have already gone crazy."

The monster that had been causing chaos in Bozhou City for the past six months and had forced people to stay indoors at night was actually himself.

It's really ridiculous.

"Master, this is not what you want, so don't blame yourself." Russell comforted.

Taoist Qingpingzi has accumulated virtue and done good deeds throughout his life, and his fall into the devil this time was not his subjective will.

"Young man, you can say so, but I can't think so." Qingpingzi shook his head.

He had claimed to be an upright and honest person for decades, but in the end, dozens of babies and over a hundred lives were killed by him.

……

"Now that we have finished our business here, we will take our leave."

After resting for three days in Qingyun Temple and confirming that the silt rooted in Qingpingzi's soul had been completely burned by the power of the monarch, Russell and Li Miaozhen immediately said goodbye to Qingpingzi.

"You two young talents have important matters to attend to. Now that you are leaving, I would like to see you off respectfully. However, I have one unwelcome request." After two days of recuperation, Qingpingzi's complexion became much more rosy.

"Master, just speak frankly. I will do my best to live up to your trust." Li Miaozhen agreed immediately.

"I feel unworthy to accept the incense here. Please keep it for me." After saying this, Qingpingzi handed the incense seal in his hand to Li Miaozhen without further explanation.

He had washed away his own mark in the Incense God Seal. At this moment, the Incense God Seal was ownerless.

"How can I feel embarrassed..." Before Li Miaozhen could finish her words, she saw the divine light of the incense seal shining brightly, and it rushed into her body like a young swallow flying into her arms.

Under Li Miaozhen's bewildered expression, a strong light of merit rose from her body, illuminating the dim interior of the hall like daylight for a moment.

As the magic power circulated, the light of the Yin God became brighter and brighter, and gradually became smoother.

"I'm in the Nascent Soul stage..." After a while, Li Miaozhen showed a smile that was uglier than crying.

She had broken through the pill and become an infant much faster than planned, but how would she explain this body of merit and power to her master and the Celestial Lord when she returned...
