Chapter 316 The Old Man Selling Candles in Cui Jun Temple
Zhuo Fan didn’t know what the Heavenly Gate was, and he didn’t dare to ask. He could only kneel there and tremble, without saying a word.
After a while, the voice sounded again.
“Forget it, I won’t waste my words with you. Now that the space confinement has loosened, I have the opportunity to return to the human world. I will separate my consciousness and reincarnate and descend to the human world soon
. “You need to be prepared to welcome the arrival of my reincarnation. At that time, I will give you the authority of God and let you become the Lord of All Heavens in the eighth realm of the Immortal Realm. "
After this voice was spoken, there was no sound, and there was no mention of what the consequences would be if Zhuo Fan did not do as he was told.
But Zhuo Fan himself did not dare not to do as he was told.
This was a great man in heaven, a great being who could grant the authority of God at will. If he went against his will, the consequences would definitely not be something he could bear.
"But wouldn't this be a betrayal of Immortal Cui? "Zhuo Fan's heart was in a struggle, and he was extremely entangled in his heart. "Immortal Cui can defeat the White Lotus Saint Mother, who is the Lord of Heaven. He is at least a strong man standing in the ninth realm of the fairy world...
" "However, there has been no news about Immortal Cui in the past three hundred years, and there is no news from the Great Zhou. Maybe he has already left the Purple Sun Realm.
"Yes, that's right, how could a big man like Immortal Cui stay in a small place like the Purple Sun Realm? At least he should go to the real heaven to practice."
For a moment, fear and luck occupied his heart.
"If I continue to stand on the side of Immortal Cui, I will definitely die, and there is no hope of survival..." Zhuo Fan said in his heart, "I have practiced hard for tens of thousands of years, not to wait for death, I can't die.
"I'm sorry, Cui Xianzun!"
...
Shenwei Star, Great Zhou, Qinglian County.
Three hundred years ago, this was an oasis in the desert, where the White Lotus Immortal Sect's headquarters was located. It was the gathering place of all sins and a huge obstacle to the development of the Great Zhou.
Fortunately, the Immortal Cui Heng took action and used his supreme magical powers to destroy the White Lotus Immortal Sect, which allowed the Great Zhou to develop and spread all over the world.
Now this place has become Qinglian County under the jurisdiction of Pingyang Prefecture, Desert West Province, Great Zhou, and it is also the richest county. A Cui Jun Temple has been built in the county town to enshrine the Immortal Cui.
At first, the imperial court did not allow the common people to worship Cui Xianzun privately, but as Cui Xianzun's deeds became more and more popular, more and more people from all over the country wanted to worship Cui Xianzun.
Moreover, this kind of worship is different from the previous unconditional superstition of the White Lotus Saint Mother. It is the gratitude and respect that the people from all over the country have for Cui Xianzun from the bottom of their hearts.
So, a hundred years ago, after many petitions, the imperial court finally ordered to build a Cuijun Temple in Qinglian County to worship the Immortal Cui Heng.
The Yellow Turban Protector of the Country once sat beside him as a guardian deity.
Since then, Qinglian County has become a holy place of the Great Zhou Kingdom. Every year, countless people from all over the country come to the Cuijun Temple to burn incense and worship to express their respect for the Immortal Cui Heng.
At this time, Ren Feng was standing in front of Cui Jun Temple in Qinglian County. Looking at this ancient and majestic palace, he was filled with boundless respect and gratitude.
His family was truly saved by Cui Xianzun.
Three hundred years ago, his ancestor Ren Ping lost his family and his people in the battle between different factions of the White Lotus Wusheng Sect. He was so desperate that he had already decided to die.
It was Cui Xianzun's guardian god, Huangjin Huguo Zun Shen, who descended and performed the art of resurrection, resurrecting his ancestor's wife, children and parents. This is how the Ren family came into being, and how Ren Feng came into being.
"Cui Xianzun and Huangjin Zun Shen have done immeasurable good deeds." Ren Feng was filled with infinite emotion, and then he walked into Cui Jun Temple with respect and gratitude.
In fact, he came here not only to pay respect to Cui Xianzun, but also to pray for his unborn child.
This is not superstition, but a good wish.
The overall scale of Cui Jun Temple is not large, with only one main hall and two side halls, and there are only a few temple priests.
It stands to reason that a place of this scale, receiving so many pilgrims every year, will definitely cause chaos, but in fact, there has never been any chaos here.
Everyone who comes to Cui Jun Temple is very conscious of observing order.
This comes from respect for Cui Xianzun.
When Ren Feng walked into the gate, he saw an old man selling candles in the doorway.
He looked to be in his seventies or eighties, with white hair but a rosy complexion. He was sitting there with his eyes closed, humming a song while nodding his head, looking very relaxed and at ease.
"Uncle, how much are these candles?" Ren Feng asked, pointing at the various candles on display.
"Hmm?" The old man stopped humming, slowly opened his eyes, looked at Ren Feng, looked at him for a while, and chuckled, "Just take whatever you want."
"Ah?" Ren Feng shook his head immediately, "How can this be, I can't take it for free, I still have to pay."
"This is your fate." The old man chuckled, then stood up, taller than Ren Feng, waved his hand and left the doorway of Cui Jun Temple and walked outside.
Leaving behind this table of various candles.
"Hey, old man!" Ren Feng subconsciously wanted to stop him, but suddenly someone patted his shoulder and called him.
"Young man, is this your first time here?" This is a middle-aged man with soft features and kind eyes. He smiled and said, "Mr. Cui is like this. He will find someone he likes every day and give him free candles."
"Yes, is that so?" Ren Feng was stunned when he heard this, and immediately said embarrassedly, "It is indeed my first time to come to Cui Jun Temple. You just called that old man Mr. Cui. Is his surname Cui?"
"It's Cui. Hey, I know what you are thinking. It's not what you think." The middle-aged man smiled and said, "Mr. Cui is a legendary figure. He is over a hundred years old and has been selling candles here for a hundred years. We all know his habits."
"He has been selling candles for a hundred years!" Ren Feng looked in the direction where Mr. Cui left and exclaimed, "I guess this old man must have received the favor of Cui Xianzun."
"Young man, what you said is wrong." The middle-aged man shook his head and said, "Who among us in the Great Zhou has not received the grace of Cui Xianzun? Without Cui Xianzun, we would not have the stable and prosperous life we have now."
"Yes." Ren Feng nodded, feeling deeply, and asked, "This big brother, my name is Ren Feng, I am from Hexi Province, what is your name?"
"My surname is Lu, and my given name is Huo. You can just call me Lao Lu." The middle-aged man smiled, "Pick some incense and candles, and let's go to worship Cui Xianzun together."
"Okay, Brother Lu." Ren Feng nodded, picked some incense candles on the table, and walked to the main hall with Lu Huo. As they were walking, he suddenly asked, "Brother Lu, do you know where Mr. Cui lives? I want to go and thank him."
"That's easy. I'll take you there after we burn incense." Lu Huo laughed heartily.
...
Cui Heng maintained the appearance of an old man with crane-like hair and a childlike face. He walked leisurely on the street with his hands behind his back and his waist bent. His eyes swept through the stable and peaceful life around him, and he was quite satisfied in his heart.
After observing the situation in the Great Zhou that time, he understood what he was missing.
The order and rules implemented in the Purple Sun Realm and the set of rules that are expanding in the starry sky of all realms were indeed formulated by him, and the root lies in him.
This is his way of transforming this world, and it is the foundation for Yuan Ying's peak breakthrough to the God Transformation Stage.
However, if one is just a maker of rules without personally participating in them and truly experiencing the rules, there will naturally be flaws and discord.
Therefore, Cui Heng has since temporarily abandoned his original identity and lived under the rules of this order as a normal identity.
This is not just a simple experience of mortal life, but a practice of life under the rules of order.
In fact, in the past three hundred years, he has lived in a total of six identities, four of which were martial arts masters of a high level.
He has been the creator, the king of saints, a saint, and even a human immortal.
As an ordinary immortal in the Great Zhou, he followed the rules and lived a stable life and practiced in a plain way. He was also a saint who walked alone but had a treasure on the Tai Cang Star. He
was also the king of saints on the Ziyang Star and tried to break the rules. He was then suppressed by the court. In the end, that identity was brought to justice to serve as a warning to others.
In addition, he also appeared in the Great Zhou as a creator from the outside world and experienced the life of an external creator under the stable rules of order.
These four identities gave him different life experiences.
From the perspective of ordinary people in the mortal world who have no martial arts or have not become immortals, life under the rules of order is different.
Cui Heng has truly lived as an ordinary person for nearly a hundred years.
During the nearly one hundred years, he had not used any extraordinary powers,
and had always lived as hard as an ordinary person. Although he had experienced many ups and downs, he finally died of old age.
As for the current identity of "Mr. Cui", although his level is not high, his experience is relatively complicated, and it is also the last identity he intends to try.
The purple gold divine light has accumulated enough, and his practice is about to be completely complete.
The transformation of the spirit is just around the corner.
Therefore, he used the surname Cui again this time.
This identity was high-spirited and happy in his youth. He had good friends with all the young geniuses at that time and could be called a generation of heroes.
But after the geniuses of the same age entered the realm of human immortals, he could only stay in the realm of gods and could not go any further.
He could only watch himself being left behind.
His old friends have repeatedly expressed their desire to help him and give him elixirs to help him break through, but he refused them all. He firmly believed that he could break through by his own strength.
However, he did not succeed and damaged his foundation. His realm fell from the divine realm to the inner realm. Finally, he returned to his hometown in despair.
He became an ordinary person selling candles in Cui Jun Temple.
His old enemies would naturally not miss this opportunity and many came to seek revenge, but under the stable order and rules, such things were obviously not allowed.
Under the protection of the court, he still lived a stable life.
As time went by, he no longer cared about the past and became more and more carefree.
Today, for Cui Heng, it was just the most ordinary day, but he cherished such time.
Such a peaceful life is only a transition of his practice, and it cannot last long.
At this time, he has already walked to the door of his home in Qinglian County.
But his footsteps suddenly stopped.
In front of this ordinary house, there stood a young woman with peerless beauty and bright face.
She was wearing a light yellow dress, carrying a long sword on her back, and she was heroic and valiant, still looking stunning in the martial arts world a hundred years ago, and she was looking at "Mr. Cui" with a smile.
"Long time no see."
