This is how immortals are cultivated

The consequences of being liquidated must be more terrifying than death.

In fact, once you have made a choice, don't change it repeatedly. The fate of those who change back and forth will definitely be the worst. Wei Xianzun understands this principle.

Since he had already made the move of "joining the thief", his previous thought was to grit his teeth and go all the way.

However, even though his reason told him that relying on Fang Xiandao was the best choice at the moment, he did have some worries in his heart.

Worrying that you made the wrong bet and lost everything.

Everyone has this emotion. After making a choice, they will feel hesitant. It’s just that the degree of hesitation and doubt varies from person to person.

Human beings are a collection of contradictions. Those who can truly remain without any regrets are no longer ordinary people, but saints among humans.

The rebellious thoughts that originally occupied only a tiny part of Wei Xianzun's mind were now constantly magnified until they occupied the main direction of his thinking without him even noticing.

"Yes, I can still be saved..."

From irritability to anxiety, and then to extreme fear, Wei Xianzun suddenly seemed to have thought of something and a smile appeared on his face.

In order to avoid being liquidated, the only thing to do is to make amends.

"As long as you make amends for your mistakes, not only will you be held accountable later, but you might even achieve great success in the end."

When this idea came to mind, Wei Xianzun felt like he had grabbed his only life-saving straw, and even thought that he could do anything to achieve this goal.

But...how can I make amends?

Leaking intelligence and secret information about the Taoist Master Fang Xian to the imperial court?

No, he couldn't do that.

As a mortal, he did not have the ability to know the situation of the Taoist Master Fangxian, who had an unconventional style of doing things.

Since the establishment of Fang Xian Dao, the Taoist master Fang Xian rarely came down the mountain to visit Linge County. The management of Linge County was basically negotiated by his wife and the senior disciple of Fang Xian Dao who came from another county.

As for directly backstabbing Taoist Master Fang Xian, a real person, he was even less capable of doing so.

To make up for one's mistakes, one must definitely make great achievements.

"I can't do it... There's no chance to make amends..."

Wei Xianzun hugged his head and covered his cheeks with his fingers, leaving only his eyes visible through his fingers.

Amidst his extreme reluctance and frustration, a voice appeared in his ears.

The low voice seemed to come from the bottom of his heart, spoken by himself to himself, and was part of his thoughts.

“There is a way…”

"If you want to hinder Daoist Master Fangxian, you don't have to attack from the front. You can also attack from the side."

"For example, violating the laws of this state's immortal way."

"Fang Xian Dao and the laws he established in Jingzhou are also part of the sins of Fang Xian Dao Master. As long as this sin is eliminated, it will be possible to influence Fang Xian Dao Master, and then we can still achieve great merit."

"As for how to do it... Have you forgotten that when you accepted the imperial appointment, the court gave you a talisman..."

Something that did not exist in Wei Xianzun's original memory actually appeared in his mind at this moment.

That was a string of extremely blasphemous, weird and depraved inscriptions.

As long as the inscription is engraved in the county government office and a certain ceremony is performed to activate it, it can be activated.

“Oh, and this thing.”

Wei Xianzun shook off his previous depressed look and started dancing with excitement.

.........

The next day, County Magistrate Wei came to the county government office as usual, handled affairs as usual, and issued various government decrees.

But at noon, someone broke into his official residence with great force.

The person who came was the Linge County Magistrate, Zhang Jingsheng.

Compared to when he first took office, Zhang Jingsheng has become more mature after having been the second-in-command for several years, and has even developed some official authority.

Seeing Zhang Jingsheng coming in aggressively, Wei Xianzun put down the paper and pen in his hand, smiled and stood up to greet him.

"How can the County Magistrate have the time to come to my place?"

Although they were the same yamen, Zhang Jingsheng's county office was on the other side.

During work days, I usually don’t visit others unless there is something important to discuss.

"Lord Wei..."

Zhang Jingsheng patiently bowed to Wei Xianzun.

Zhang Jingsheng had gained some experience in the art of being an official. Even if there were conflicts, at least they appeared harmonious on the surface and did not fall out so easily.

This time he came to question him directly because Wei Xianzun had done something bad, which even directly affected him.

"What about the decree issued by the government this morning?"

Zhang Jingsheng asked.

In the morning, the county government issued a decree, which mainly included two categories:

One is to increase taxes, adding many tax items at once.

One is to strengthen control, increase criminal law provisions, increase penalties, and even impose curfews.

Both of these decrees have a significant impact on the common people in the city, and the fact that so many of them were issued at once inevitably makes people wonder what is going to happen.

Of course, the most important thing is that although the Shangzong gave them a certain degree of autonomy, not only in administration but also in legislation, as long as the general direction was correct, everything was fine. However, the exercise of power also required the heads of several departments in the yamen to discuss and then file with the Shangzong.

But until his subordinates hurriedly reported the news to him, Zhang Jingsheng still had not received any notification from Wei Xianzun.

In other words, such matters were entirely decided by Wei Xianzun alone.

"Could it be... a request from the upper sect?"

After Fang Xiandao established the laws, the various county governments that were originally responsible to the Wu court were now naturally responsible to Fang Xiandao.

If there is an order from the higher sect, there is no need for discussion and it can be executed directly.

However, the upper sect rarely issued compulsory decrees. In the past few years, the upper sect's demands were few and far between, which were nothing more than promoting martial arts, abolishing blood tax, and preventing people from building roads, canals and other public facilities.

Hearing Zhang Jingsheng's words, Wei Xianzun's eyes flickered, but he still smiled:

"Jingsheng, I can explain this..."

As he said that, he walked towards Zhang Jingsheng and was about to hold his hand.

What Zhang Jingsheng didn't notice was that the shadow under Wei Xianzun had become larger than that of an ordinary person, and the edges were shaking, as if it had life and was crawling on the ground.

The shadow was about to come into contact with Zhang Jingsheng.

Zhang Jingsheng, however, was completely unimpressed by his words and simply waved his hands:

"Daoist Master Wei Wei has come out of seclusion and will come to Linge County this afternoon. You can go and explain things to him then."

Now, the eldest brother among Fang Xiandao's generation of disciples occasionally comes down the mountain to Linge City.

One is to see the situation here, and the other is to take in the selected good seedlings with the potential to practice cultivation and bring them up the mountain to learn.

Zhang Jingsheng and Wei Wei have a pretty good personal relationship.

One reason is that Zhang Jingsheng was one of the first people in Jingzhou to come into contact with Fang Suichu. Wei Wei had often come to him to collect materials for editing the internal educational materials of Fang Xiandao.

After a few interactions, the two became familiar with each other.

It is not surprising that Zhang Jingsheng knew Wei Wei's itinerary in advance, or rather, Wei Wei informed him in advance.

Upon hearing Zhang Jingsheng's words, Wei Xianzun paused, and the shadow under him also stopped extending its tentacles forward.

Afterwards, County Master Wei restrained his smile and said, "County Magistrate Zhang, I will explain to Master Wei later."

"That's the best." Zhang Jingsheng snorted coldly, then slowed down his tone.

After all, this person is his boss, and they have gotten along quite well over the past few years. He just doesn't know what happened today, or what's wrong with his brain.

"Master Wei, please take care of yourself. I have already withdrawn the decrees issued by the government today. Whatever you have in mind, please discuss it with Master Wei first."

"It's natural."

Wei Xianzun nodded and watched Zhang Jingsheng leave.

After Zhang Jingsheng walked out of the official residence, Wei Xianzun was still standing there, as if in a daze.

The shadow beneath him began to move again, surging like a tide, and soon covered the entire hall of the official residence.

"Has it been discovered?"

The Dharma thought placed in the shadow whispered softly.

However, he quickly rejected it.

If they were really discovered, it would not be the disciples of Fang Xiandao who had arrived, but the master Fang Xiandao himself.

Fa Nian has now completed the "capture" of Wei Xianzun. In addition to influencing his thoughts and actions, he has also read all of his memories. Naturally, he knows the relevant information about Wei Wei, the eldest disciple of Fang Xiandao.

"He's a junior with a cultivation level of about the Inducing Spirit Realm, but he's actually the eldest disciple of the Fang Xian Dao. This Fang Xian Dao doesn't have much foundation after all. Although, the Fang Xian Dao master is indeed very extraordinary."

"First disciple...hehehe..."

"This will be a great springboard..."

In fact, at this point, the basic layout has been almost completed.

Even if the tentacles were not extended into the Fangxiandao sect, once the ceremony was completed, sacrificing the people of this city would be enough to give the Fangxiandao master a big disaster.

However, now there is an unexpected surprise, which may be used to further influence that immortal way.

"Come to think of it, Yuan Jing is still trapped on that mountain. What a loser! He must compensate me after he is rescued."

"It's rare... In that case, well, then I'll invest a little more."

This shadow is just an insignificant part of the huge shadow of the Shadowless Taoist. There is nothing to feel sorry about even if it is abandoned.

But now that everything is going well, I can invest more.

The shadow surged like a tide, taking shelter under the body of Wei Xianzun, but the attack did not touch the law and luck, and became deeper and richer.

After a moment, Wei Xianzun came back to his senses.

His thoughts went back to the moment before Zhang Jingsheng left. He couldn't help but shudder and panic.

"Weiwei...Weiwei is coming."

In his eyes, Wei Wei was originally just a small clerk in the county government, but because of the appreciation of Taoist Master Fang Xian, he rose to the top and became his number one lackey.

If the other party finds out what I have done, I will be doomed.

The fate of being discovered...

A sudden reversal of regret appeared in Wei Xianzun's mind.

Yes, he regretted everything he had done.

This sudden thought even surprised Wuying Zhenren a little.

Upon closer inspection, it was discovered that this situation also stemmed from the fear in Wei Xianzun's heart.

The fear of that Taoist Master Fang Xian.

Speaking of which, when Fang Suichu first arrived in Linge County, what was Wei Xianzun's initial contact with Fang Suichu?

It was his own county lieutenant official who had turned into a pile of rotten meat.

It was someone from the Fang family who had turned into blood mist and was still floating in the yard.

It is the Tianchan Temple which has turned into ruins.

It was the spiritual secret inspector from the provincial capital who was slapped to death.

It was a terrifying demon from the White Lotus Cult who was killed with a single sword strike.

He decisively admitted his mistake and chose to follow Fang Xiandao to the end. The reason for this may also be due to the deep fear in the heart of "Mr. Fang".

The shadow is very deep.

"Useless... pathetic mortal..."

Taoist Wuying sighed.

Once one touches the path to the dark side of shadows and achieves true disaster, all negative things on the dark side can be controlled by him.
