Chapter 151 Heavenly Officials Meet Heavenly Officials

Let’s just talk about Yuan Jingchun. He came in a hurry, turned back in a hurry, said less than a few words in total, and got a string of incense money for nothing. He felt a little puzzled.

Returning to his own small temple, Yuan Jingchun could not help but take out the string of incense money and examine it carefully. Upon closer inspection, he could not help but utter an exclamation.

I saw that the incense money was all golden, crystal clear, each grain was distinct, and emitting a faint golden light.

"This... this quality is so good!" said Yuan Jingchun.

He is also the god who receives salary every year. Although the copper coins cast after being washed in the Huanxian Pool are generally golden in color, they are superficial gold and are not as good as the copper coins in his hand, which have gold deep in their bones and are crystal clear all over.

After the connection between heaven and earth, the copper coin was even more unbearable to look at. It was copper in color with only gold patterns, making it difficult to swallow.

Yuan Jingchun couldn't help but take one off, crushed it and absorbed it. The copper coin turned into pure magic power and poured in. He couldn't help but hum with pleasure, as if he had been hungry for a long time and finally had a delicious meal.

With just one coin, Yuan Jingchun felt that his divine power was complete, and even his body became more stable and transparent. Looking at the remaining copper coins, Yuan Jingchun couldn't help swallowing his saliva. The joy mixed with the pain of carefully and diligently maintaining the balance of incense and magic power for hundreds of years surged into his heart.

"This string of copper coins is like a rain after a long drought. It will at least save me hundreds of years of hardship. How can this person be a mortal cultivator? I'm afraid he must be a real immortal from heaven!"

Yuan Jingchun held the copper coin in his hand, and did not notice that his tears had soaked his clothes until he felt his chest wet. He then prostrated himself, choking with sobs:

"The little god thanks the great god for the incense, the little god thanks..."

All of this was seen by Gu Qingyuan, and his thoughts were captured by the small magical power that remained in Yuan Jingchun's place. He even discovered the incense money as it was being absorbed. The incense money turned into magic power, penetrated into the divine body, deconstructed the divine body, and countless complex information was transmitted back to Gu Qingyuan.

"Earth gods like Yuan Jingchun don't have many mixed desires, and their temperaments are not fickle. Is it because they became gods recently and have not been exposed to many incense offerings, so their human nature is not distorted? Or is it because they were forged into gods from human bodies?"

Gu Qingyuan couldn't help but think about it. His trip to the underworld was really an eye-opener.

Most of the ghosts and immortals in the underworld are imposters like Yama. The original high-ranking ghosts and immortals disappeared and succeeded to the throne after the connection between the universe and the earth. Lu Pan is the real one, but Gu Qingyuan extracted his memory and found that his temperament changed after the connection between the universe and the earth. So the Glazed Buddha is the real one, but the two types of performances are different.

People like Lu Pan were extremely greedy and full of desires, like ink dropped into a pond. Although it was not obvious and imperceptible, their temperaments had changed drastically. The Glass Buddha resisted with Buddhist teachings, but human desires were like huge waves, surging in. Once it collapsed, there was no recovery.

'One is like a river that overturns. One absorbs the incense for a short time, and the other absorbs it for a long time. It's because the poison of the incense has already penetrated into the bone marrow. It's just that after the Jedi Heaven is connected, there is no suppression. It will burst out in one day? I don't know what will happen if the high-ranking immortals and Buddhas can't resist it.'

Gu Qingyuan guessed that he did not have the materials of top-level immortals and Buddhas at hand, so he could not verify it. Linjiang City's vigorous rise had not produced any top-level immortals or Buddhas, so his plan to lure the snake out of its hole was in vain.

I thought I had gained something in the underworld, but it turned out to be a bunch of impostors. The only true Buddha passed away, and the relics became the magic weapon of Gu Qingyuan's plan.

Just as he was thinking, Gu Qingyuan had arrived at Jiwu City, and then looked towards the place where the incense was burning.

The true god who had taken the throne was not like Yuan Jingchun, a local deity, who had a small door and a small temple, erected a clay statue, built a house, and offered fruits and vegetables.

The gods have their own demeanor. Because they were originally human beings who were included in the immortal class, they have many connections with the human world. People are born between heaven and earth, and are entangled in cause and effect, and have many concerns. As the saying goes, if one person attains the Tao, all his family members will ascend to heaven. Like the God of Water, he has countless disciples. Although he has ascended to heaven, he has passed down the Taoism and spread the name of the god in the world, so that no one will know about it and no one will worship it after thousands of years. This is the benefit of having a foundation. The temple stands in the center of the city, built according to the Taoist palace system. It is more like a Taoist palace community than a temple. A Taoist with a high hat should be the temple keeper, and he is talking with the dignitaries who come to burn incense.

Disciples in Taoist robes guided the pilgrims and guarded the four directions. Although there were many people burning incense in an endless stream, everything was in order and there was no chaos.

Gu Qingyuan did not want to be seen, nor did he want to do anything to show off his saintliness, so he concealed his figure and walked into the big temple. The pilgrims and the Taoist priest passed by him without hearing or knowing anything. There were crowds of people praying to the gods and burning incense, but they did not know that a true immortal had descended.

It was just after noon and many people were walking out. When they saw Gu Qingyuan, they unconsciously made way for him. Gu Qingyuan was like a dark stone, parting the sea of ​​people.

As soon as you arrive at the temple gate, there are couplets on both sides. The top couplet: The house is in a beautiful and spiritual place, with rivers and mountains standing tall. The bottom couplet: It nourishes all living things, and brings blessings as clouds move. It can be seen that it is the water god who controls clouds and brings rain.

When I went in, I saw a statue of a god sitting inside. He was tall and sturdy, with a righteous face and majesty even amid the smoke of incense. It was none other than the Dongyuan Five Qi Water Virtue Heavenly Official.

Gu Qingyuan did not kowtow or burn incense. He just stood there, looked around, and told the god: I am here.

The statue suddenly emitted divine light, golden energy flowed, and its eyes were full of light. Its breath turned into clouds and its exhaled breath turned into rain. On the altar, the seated statue stood up and walked down the platform.

There were still many pilgrims worshipping around, but they had not seen it, and the Taoist had not noticed it either.

"Who are you and why are you coming to my temple?" said the Water Virtue Official. Although his voice was low, it had the sound of thunder.

"My name is Xu Xuan. I have long admired the reputation of the Water Deity God, so I have come here to see him." Gu Qingyuan lied with his eyes open. He had just learned the name of the god.

Seeing that Gu Qingyuan spoke in a gentle tone and did not seem to be looking for trouble, Shuide Tianguan's face relaxed a little: "So it is Monk Xu. I have lived in the temple for a long time and have never been out and about. I don't care about worldly affairs, but I have never heard of the name of immortals. Please forgive me."

"What are you saying, Heavenly Official? I am not well-known. I have been practicing in seclusion in the mountains. I came here empty-handed. I have never worshipped or burned incense. It is very generous of the Heavenly Official not to blame me." Gu Qingyuan said with a smile.

The atmosphere calmed down.

"I wonder why Monk Xu is here?" The Water Virtue Official knew that mortals would not come to the temple unless they had something to ask, so he asked.

"Xu came here for no other reason. First, I heard of the name of the Heavenly Official and had a glimpse of his beautiful face. I have something to talk about. Second, I want to borrow something from the Heavenly Official." Gu Qingyuan smiled.

The Water Virtue Heavenly Official's face was like a wood or stone sculpture, unchanged: "I have seen you, but I don't know what you want to talk about, or what you want to borrow."

"So that the Heavenly Officials can know, what is in question is the Heavenly Official's life and property, ten thousand years of hard training, borrowing the Heaven-granted position and the foundation of the Gods."

As soon as these words were spoken, dark clouds rolled in, wind and thunder raged, as if the sky was crying, the earth was howling, and the ghosts and gods were frightened. The dark clouds covered the sky and there was no clear sky.

The wind rises, clouds gather, thunder sounds, and rain falls.
