History has proven it.
Every saintly lady chosen by Taisu Xuanzhentu is the most suitable person to inherit the Taoist tradition of Suzhen Palace and best unleash the power of immortal weapons.
No one knows where the legend that there is only one saint in every generation came from, but there are indeed some people who believe in this statement.
Zhou Qing thought about it and suddenly found something wrong.
"I'm afraid this statement is untenable."
"Not to mention the past, there are already two generations of saints existing at the same time. If it is reincarnation, how can there be two reincarnations at the same time?"
"I can't answer your question."
Lu Qingmo smiled and said, "Do you take the legend seriously?"
“…”
Zhou Qing was speechless, isn't this what you told me?
"Yes, it's just a legend."
"If you are interested in this, there is another legend related to Saint Su Zhen."
"Tell me more."
"This legend actually came from the Suzhen Palace. It says that when the three thousand saints return to their positions, the Suzhen Patriarch will also return and become the Supreme Immortal."
A question mark appeared on Zhou Qing's face.
"Three thousand saint maidens? How many years did it take for the Suzhen Palace to pass on the number of three thousand?"
"This legend is too outrageous."
"Not outrageous." Lu Qingmo said:
“Because it’s almost time.”
"Suzhen Palace has a long history, far longer than Xuandu Temple and most forces in the world."
"Soon?" Zhou Qing asked, "Which generation of Saintess is Jiang Yanyao?"
"Two thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine generations."
"ah?"
Zhou Qing was slightly surprised. He didn't expect that so many saints had appeared in Suzhen Palace. It must have been a very long time.
"In other words, when the next generation of Saint Girl appears, Patriarch Su Zhen will return?"
"legend."
"Even if it's just a legend, people who care about it will definitely take it to heart." Zhou Qing said, "The next generation of Saintess of Suzhen Palace will probably attract a lot of attention."
Legends always have reasons. When it comes to the founder of a school, he must be extraordinary and many people care about him.
"Who is the founder of Suzhen Palace? How powerful is he?"
"He is called the Supreme Immortal of Taisu Xuanzhen. As for his strength, it is unclear. After such a long time, who can know?"
"Thousands of years later, you will also be a legend."
Zhou Qing touched his chin and said, "That's true. After all, a person as graceful as me will surely be remembered for generations to come."
By midnight, Zhou Qing was already secretly burning his life energy in his room, but he suddenly heard some noise outside.
When I left the room, I happened to meet Lu Qingmo.
"Aunt Mo, someone seems to be calling you?"
Lu Qingmo sensed it slightly and his eyes changed immediately.
"Why is he here?"
"who?"
"A senior brother in Xuandu Temple, it seems that he has become an elder in the Yinshen realm."
Senior brother?
Zhou Qing was excited. It turned out to be someone from Xuandu Temple! Lu Qingmo's master had five disciples, four formal and one nominal.
In front of Lu Qingmo, there are two senior sisters and one senior brother, and behind them is naturally the "unemployed" junior brother Song.
But her second senior sister had died long ago. The eldest senior brother and the second senior sister were husband and wife. After his wife's death, he disappeared for many years, without a trace, and no one knew whether he was alive or dead.
Therefore, this senior brother who suddenly came was definitely not a "real senior brother", but just a disciple of Xuandu Temple of the same generation as Lu Qingmo.
Lu Qingmo walked out and Zhou Qing followed closely.
Not long after, three people walked into the peach forest.
One of them was a tall middle-aged man with a square face, looking quite serious and upright.
The other person was a fat young man who looked to be about eighteen or nineteen years old, with bright eyes.
The last person was a handsome, slender young man with a gentle smile on his face.
"Brother Jiang."
The middle-aged man looked at Lu Qingmo with a slight scrutiny, and then sighed.
"Junior Sister Lu."
The two young men beside the middle-aged man saluted immediately.
"Hello, Uncle Lu."
Lu Qingmo glanced at them and asked, "Is this Senior Brother Jiang's new disciple?"
"Jiang Yingyu."
Senior Brother Jiang glanced at the fat young man and said, "He is from my clan and I accepted him as my disciple three years ago."
Then he introduced the handsome young man.
"Wang Zai is not my disciple, but he is a new seed of Tao in the temple."
That is to say, he is a genius at the same level as Lu Qingmo.
Zhou Qing glanced at Wang Zai, but didn't care. Instead, he paid more attention to the fat young man.
What's this guy's name? He speaks English? Maybe he has a brother named Jiang Guoyu.
"Brother Jiang rushed to Heiyun late at night. Did the temple send you to deal with the matter of Heishan this time?"
"I am a Yin Shen cultivator. How can I be qualified to handle this matter?" Senior Brother Jiang shook his head.
"Elders of the Yin God True Blood realm from all sides have come here. The temple asked me to come to Black Cloud Town only to maintain the dignity of the Ghost God Department, so that people will not look down on the Ghost God Department and do something against the rules."
"At the same time, I am also bringing the disciples here to gain some experience."
"There are several disciples who came with me, but they have already gone to find a place to stay."
The Department of Ghosts and Gods and Xuandu Temple are deeply bound together, and this is especially true for higher-level Departments of Ghosts and Gods.
The chief stewards of the provincial Ghost and God Bureau are all disciples of Xuandu Temple. The chief steward of the Ghost and God Bureau headquarters in Yujing is the most powerful person in Xuandu Temple.
"The current situation is turbulent, and powerful people from all sides have arrived. The Ghost and God Department should indeed have a master like Senior Brother Jiang to take charge."
She really had no advantage when facing the Yin Shen Zhen Xue realm from all sides. No matter how talented she was, she was only a once in a lifetime.
After all, I am only at the level of a saint now, so it is inevitable that people will look down on me.
Senior Brother Jiang waved his hand and said, "The Black Cloud Ghost God Division is still managed by you. I won't interfere in the specific affairs. As long as those people don't mess around, it'll be fine."
"As for the affairs of Black Mountain and the mountain god, the elders in the temple have their own arrangements. We don't need to worry about it. We just need to do what we should do."
The people from Xuandu Temple have not shown up and have not made any statement, but that doesn’t mean they have really forgotten about this place and don’t care about what’s happening in Heishan.
The imperial court can control the affairs within the territory of Da Qi, and the state religion can also control them.
What the imperial court cannot control, the state religion can!
"There is one more thing. I came here with the royal family. I heard from them that the envoy sent by the Emperor of Qi to Black Cloud Town died two days ago. Do you know about this?"
Please...collect 6_9_book_bar (Six//Nine//Book//bar)
Zhou Qing's heart was moved, but he did not show it on the surface.
As expected, they came to investigate, and even the people in Xuandu Temple knew about it.
Lu Qingmo was puzzled at first, then surprised and said: "Is Zuo Tianzheng dead?"
"I don't know about this. Zuo Tian happened to have entered Black Mountain a few days ago and has not come out since. Everyone in Black Cloud Town thought he was still exploring inside. How could he have died there?"
"Is this information reliable?"
"Of course he is reliable." Senior Brother Jiang nodded, "The lamp of his life left in the royal family has been extinguished."
"But, he went into Black Mountain?"
Senior Brother Jiang was a little confused. "As the Emperor of Qi's envoy, why did he go to Black Mountain in person?"
Lu Qingmo shook his head, "I'm not very clear about the reason."
"My relationship with Zuo Tianzheng is not good. We can even say that we have some grudges against each other. He will not tell me what he wants to do."
"Do you have a grudge against him?"
"It's just a small conflict. Everyone in Black Cloud Town knows about it."
Senior Brother Jiang frowned, "You haven't been to Black Mountain recently, have you?"
"I can't go in. The mountain god has stipulated that practitioners at the Manifestation of Sainthood and Marrow Cleansing Realm cannot enter the mountain."
Senior Brother Jiang relaxed his frown and said, "If that's the case, then it's okay."
"Did the royal family ask you to help investigate?"
"No." Senior Brother Jiang shook his head.
"He just mentioned this to me, but the special envoy of the Emperor Qi died here after all, and the Ghost and God Department also has a certain obligation to assist in the investigation."
"Someone from the royal family will come to you tomorrow to inquire about this matter. Since you don't know anything about it, just cooperate with them."
"Okay." Lu Qingmo did not shirk and said directly: "I will assist them well."
Go all out to find the real murderer! Lu Qingmo asked again: "Does the temple have any plans for me this time?"
Senior Brother Jiang nodded and said, "Once the matter at Black Mountain is over, the temple hopes that you can return."
"You are a disciple of Xuandu Temple after all. It is not in compliance with the law if you stay away from home all year round without a valid reason."
"I'll think about it."
In fact, she didn't need Xuandu Temple to make any arrangements, as she had already planned to go back. Especially after obtaining the Butian Vine and Originium, this idea became even stronger.
The hope of becoming a Heavenly Saint and reviving the dead is right before her eyes. She is only one step away and there is no way she will give up.
No matter what the third treasure is, it will definitely be more convenient and effective to find it with the help of the power of Xuandu Temple.
And even if you find all three treasures, you still need a skilled alchemist to refine the Heavenly Saint Resurrection Liquid.
Her third senior sister had a high enough level of alchemy skills and was currently at Xuanfa Mountain, the gate of Xuandu Temple.
Therefore, it is inevitable that Lu Qingmo returns to Xuandu Temple.
Only by going back will you have the ability to refine the Heavenly Saint Resurrection Liquid.
After finishing the main business, Lu Qingmo and Senior Brother Jiang fell silent, as if they didn't know what to say, and then the latter took the initiative to speak.
"Is this your disciple?"
Senior Brother Jiang said this while looking at Zhou Qing.
Jiang Yingyu and Wang Zai also looked at Zhou Qing, both with smiles on their faces.
Lu Qingmo shook his head. "Although I taught Zhou Qing how to practice Taoism, I did not accept him as a disciple."
He had no unusual reaction when he heard Zhou Qing's name.
Because he just arrived in Heiyun Town tonight and came straight here. He didn't know who Zhou Qing was and didn't know his talent.
"Hello, senior." Zhou Qing said.
Senior Brother Jiang nodded and said, "It's getting late. I came here tonight just to meet you, Senior Sister Lu. I will go to the Ghost and God Department to find you tomorrow."
"Brother Jiang, take care."
"Don't send me off."
Lu Qingmo really didn't see them off and just watched the three of them leave.
"Aunt Mo, it seems like you and this Senior Brother Jiang don't have a very good relationship?"
The relationship between the two of them was too official.
When we met, we didn't catch up on the past or anything, we just got straight to business.
But even when we were talking about serious matters, we didn't chat for a few minutes, as if we were not familiar with each other.
He came and left in a clean and decisive manner, and his stay was even shorter than Jiang Yanyao's.
"Senior Brother Jiang's name is Jiang Hengchuan. He was born into the Jiang family, a prominent family in Hanzhou. He entered Xuandu Temple to practice since he was young."
Lu Qingmo said: "Among the disciples of the same generation, my relationship with him can only be considered ordinary."
"But many years ago, he asked me for the Heavenly Thunder and Earthly Fire Seal. The Jiang family was willing to pay a huge price in exchange, but I refused."
"After that rejection, our already ordinary relationship naturally became even more distant. However, Senior Brother Jiang is an upright person. Although he did not obtain the Heavenly Thunder and Earthly Fire Seal, there is no hatred between us."
"It's reasonable for the temple to send him here."
Zhou Qing breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out that they just had an ordinary relationship and there was no grudge between them.
The relationship between the person from Xuandu Temple and Lu Qingmo is very important.
If someone who doesn't get along with Lu Qingmo comes, it will probably cause more trouble in the future.
