Start as a Temple Spirit

The thunder dragon circled in the purple clouds, appearing and disappearing, and its majestic body was still growing rapidly. Finally, it stopped at six feet. It was so majestic that the soldiers and civilians felt proud of it.

"Moo" The Thunder Dragon that successfully got promoted made a joyful roar of a cow. After showing off its might for a while, it turned around and flew towards the mountains and forests on the clouds. It disappeared into the mountains and forests for a moment, then soared into the sky again and flew towards the rock peak.

"Retreat!" Yijiu's voice sounded again.

"Go back, go back!" A greeting was heard in the forest, indicating that the battle tonight had come to an end.

"Moo moo" the thunder dragon riding on the clouds flew to the pavilion, dropped the charred wolf corpse, put away the purple cloud, turned into a mini thunder dragon, and made a joyful cow roar, asking for credit to Shang Liangshan.

The mini thunder dragon is purple all over, with purple light flowing around it, dazzling and eye-catching.

If you look closely, you can see that its purple scales have lightning patterns on them, which makes it look very domineering.

It has a pair of mini horns on its head, covered with lightning, and you can tell at a glance that it is a good material for lightning.

Shang Liangshan smiled with satisfaction and reached out to touch the small horn of the mini thunder dragon.

The little thunder dragon became even more excited, flying around Shang Liangshan, mooing non-stop.

After a while, it calmed down and turned into a dragon head dog chain that hung around Shang Liangshan's neck, then disappeared.

"Hehe" the old patriarch looked at Shang Liangshan's neck and laughed.

Shang Liangshan smiled helplessly at this, he understood the old patriarch's mood at the moment.

When he himself had not yet risen, the old patriarch, as the patriarch of the Forgotten Township and the strongest man, shouldered a burden in a precarious environment that ordinary people could not understand.

Now in Forgotten Township, there is finally someone who can stand on his own. The old man can put down the heavy burden on his shoulders and live a completely free life.

If you have no burden in your heart, you will naturally feel light-hearted.

The old patriarch just felt relaxed and light all over, which made him lie comfortably in the chair and squint his eyes.

The sound of bones exploding came from the old patriarch's body. A faint golden light shone around his body, and his aura rose steadily in response.

Shang Liangshan and Taoist Liu looked at each other, smiled silently, and both lay on the chairs, waiting for the old patriarch's thoughts to become clear and his mind to become as clear as a mirror.

"Shua shua" two figures appeared and guarded the north and south rock walls. They were the spiritual guards who stayed behind.

Seeing this, Xiaocao and Xiaoli who returned to the dojo stepped forward to ask. They learned from the spiritual guard that it was the master who ordered the rock wall to be sealed.

"Why did the master let the spirit guards seal the rock wall?" Xiaoli looked at Xiaocao and asked.

Xiao Cao looked at the faint golden light in the pavilion on the rock peak and analyzed, "Only the master, the old clan leader, and Taoist Liu are on the rock peak?"

"Now, there is a faint golden light in the pavilion, and the spiritual guards have received the order to seal the rock wall."

"So I guess it's the old patriarch who's making a breakthrough."

"That makes sense. Second brother, you are really smart. Those who are capable should do more work. You go and inform the leopard. I'll go back to sleep." Before the little li finished speaking, he jumped down the rock wall.

Xiaocao smiled helplessly, turned around and walked towards the village wall. Not long after, he found Yibao and Hanzi, who were standing on the rock wall and looking at the village, and explained his purpose and guess.

"The clan leader is making a breakthrough?" Yibao asked in surprise.

"Dad is breaking through?" Hanzi asked blankly.

"Probably." Xiaocao said uncertainly.

"No matter whether the clan leader is making a breakthrough or not, the Seventh Elder asked the Spirit Guards to seal off the rock wall. He has his own intention in doing so. I will give the order now to seal off the rock wall and send someone to inform the Great Elder to keep quiet." Yibao did as he said and sent someone to find the deputy captain. After conveying the order, he took Hanzi to the rock peak.

Xiaocao was speechless when seeing this, it seems that you two are not among the blocked ones.

Of course, Yibao and Hanzi would not cross the line of defense of Lingwei. Their purpose was to watch from a distance.

"Forget it, I'll go back and rest too." After Xiaocao finished speaking, he disappeared from the spot.

The Seventh Elder ordered the rock wall to be blocked, and the news that the clan leader was suspected of making a breakthrough soon reached Yifeng's ears.

After being stunned for a moment, he quickly sent someone to pass on the order, prohibiting the noise.

This resulted in the Forgotten Township being completely silent in the second half of the night. Even the Phantom Thunder Cloud had to take a detour to fly to the dojo after cleaning up the battlefield and releasing the spirit guards.

In the morning light, the old patriarch woke up from a sleep, he stood up and stretched comfortably, his bones crackling, it was so comfortable.

"Hmm, what smells so bad?" The old patriarch sniffed it subconsciously. The stench hit his nerves directly when he entered his nose. He felt nauseous and almost vomited.

"Don't smell it, patriarch. The source of the stench is on you. Go wash yourself quickly." Taoist Priest Liu's joking reminder came from the north.

This reminder is very important.

The old patriarch, who was stunned, jumped two feet high and almost sprained his waist.

"Haha" Taoist Priest Liu laughed unkindly.

Let Shang Liangshan see his other side, which can be summed up in two words: repressed and reserved.

As soon as Shang Liangshan returned to the Taoist temple, he saw Xiaocao, who had been waiting in front of the temple.

This made him sigh with admiration at the wisdom and bravery of the man who had accepted Xiaocao.

He asked Xiaocao, "How was the harvest?"

"Reporting to the master, 672 spirit guards have been successfully transformed, and the Purple Spirit Commander is currently training."

"888+672=1560." Shang Liangshan finished the calculation silently, nodded and said, "Thank you for your hard work. You can go and preside over the incense burning ceremony."

"Yes." Xiaocao said goodbye and went about his own business.

The conversion rate this time did not meet Shang Liangshan's expectations.

But he could understand it if he thought about it. The transformed bodies in the ghost shadow field were almost killed and devoured by the fierce ghosts.

In order to successfully transform 672 spirit guards, Huanyou Leiyun had to hold his breath, wait for the ghost soldiers to attack, and then perform the transformation outside the ghost shadow maze.

Otherwise the conversion rate would be even lower. However, although the quantity did not meet his expectations, the quality exceeded his expectations.

The strength of the transformed bodies is at the high level of the third grade. With training and hard work, they can break through to the fourth grade because the transformed bodies are vengeful ghosts.

The old patriarch, who had just washed up, looked at himself in the bronze mirror and was very satisfied. His grey hair had turned black, his face was rosy, and his beard had grown a lot longer. He looked like a rejuvenated version of himself, with an immortal look.

"I have to have a drink." He did it as soon as he thought about it. The old patriarch left his yard and walked quickly towards the temple guard camp, just in time to meet the villagers who were returning after burning incense.

"Hello, clan leader." Greetings continued, and the old clan leader responded warmly.

"Chief, is your black hair charcoaled?"

"Get lost, the old man is full of energy. Forget it, you old man won't understand even if I tell you."

"Chief, please don't leave. Let me touch your hair to see if you are really full of energy or have become charred."

"Go home and touch your wife."

The sound of "Hahaha" laughter adds joy to the morning.

The old patriarch chatted with the villagers along the way. When he walked into the temple guard camp, he saw Yifeng, Yiliu and Liu Yu already eating and drinking in the pavilion.

The old man walked over quickly and drank a glass of wine poured by Liu Yu. Then he said under the three people's scrutiny: "The old man has indeed broken through to the high stage of Tongxuan realm."

"Don't look at me like that, old man. It will cause misunderstanding. Tell me how many people were injured in the battle last night."
