Weird recovery, I can't hide my god's identity

Chapter 223: What a thrilling battle

With the increasing frequency of strange activities in recent years, the cooperation between the government and non-governmental organizations has been continuously strengthened.

On the one hand, it is to better unite the forces of various fronts to fight against the weirdness, and on the other hand, it is also to enhance one's own influence within civil organizations.

As the local bully in Fujian, the Lushan Sect was naturally within the government's target range.

Compared with ordinary dynamic groups, this organization that possesses extraordinary powers deserves more attention.

The Lushan Sect had no reason to refuse, and the government had provided them with various cultivation resources. Even if there were some discordant voices, it was not a big deal.

Xu Xiaotian was formally appointed to office through the Lushan Grand Court.

First of all, the concept of Lushan Grand Court has only appeared in recent years. It was built on the original site of Fushan Shengjun Hall. It was specially built to gather the strength of the various factions in Lushan.

As we all know, Lushan is a very large and decentralized system.

Some people with lofty ideals within Lushan have realized that if they want to move from grassroots to formal and truly gain recognition at the government level, it will not work without a unified external voice.

Thus, the Lushan Association, the ancestral temple of Linshui Palace, and the Lushan Court came into being.

Even though it still looks like a makeshift troupe and cannot be compared with the big Xuanmen sects, at least they don't have to borrow the yellow silk umbrella for reporting to the Longhu Mountain like they did in the past.

The so-called petition for office is the same concept as the ordination of Zhengyi and the transmission of precepts of Quanzhen. All of them are obtained by applying to the higher authorities in order to obtain certain divine authority.

The difference is that the ordination is an official act, which was hosted by the imperial court in the past, but is now hosted by the government Taoist Association. It is a very serious Taoist activity. The appointment of officials is a folk belief and folk culture. The relationship between the two is one of popularization and improvement.

A more popular explanation is that Zhengyi ordination is the formal college entrance examination recruitment, which is accepted throughout the country, while Lushanzouzhi is independent enrollment, and it is a third-rate university.

It is even said that Lushan Zouzhi is only equivalent to an honorary title of a local folk association.

It is useful, but only in one's own area. As for when it is used in other places, it depends on whether others give you face.

This face is linked to your strength.

Why is it difficult to practice Taoism?
Even a sect like Lushan with a complete lineage of masters is struggling, let alone other smaller sects.

……

Lushan's official duties were derived from the Taoist ordination.

The traditional Lushan Zouzhi is only a part of the ordination ceremony. After a disciple has followed the master for three years, the master will join hands with fellow Taoists from nearby Taoist temples to hold an ordination ceremony for disciples who have been apprenticed for a similar period of time, and perform ordination for the disciples during the ordination period.

This ordination is not something that can be done casually. There must be at least twelve or thirteen master chefs in charge of the ceremony alone, not to mention the guests who will be watching.

It is a very solemn existence.

Nowadays, the procedure has been changed to reporting to the Lushan Grand Court, and the process has become more rigorous and standardized. After passing the civil and military examinations, specific legal positions will be granted, and soldiers and horses with personal protection of the altar will be given to the five camps, nine states and communities, and different ranks of official certificates will be issued according to the Three Yuans and Nine Reports.

The rank of Lushan is its own internal rank, ranging from one to nine, with one being the highest. The specifications refer to the ancient system of three provinces and six ministries.

It doesn't mean that having this rank makes you an immortal in heaven, it just makes it easier to command troops.

The rank Xu Xiaotian obtained when he first reported his position was Shangqing Three Caves and Nine Heavens Golden Palace Thunder Department Commandant, the sixth rank, which was also the highest rank for the first report.

It’s like a college producing a national champion-level talent.

One can imagine how much of a sensation the Lushan Sect was at that time.

……

Xu Xiaotian did not disappoint his master's expectations.

While enjoying the top-level training treatment, his cultivation is improving day by day. In the next examination, he will probably be able to reach the fifth rank or even the fourth rank!

Remember, he is only twenty-two years old.

According to the original idea, as long as he could live to the age of fifty, he would be the number one person in Lushan today, and revitalizing Lushan would no longer be a dream.

"Fellow Taoist, let me help you!"

Xu Xiaotian strode towards the Lin family courtyard. His voice reached everyone's ears before he arrived.

Zhou Shuisheng's face changed. Oh no, there are other monks here.

If someone discovered that he was trying to bind and drive the ghosts, he would no longer have a place to live in the entire Fujian area. Suddenly, a hint of cruelty flashed in his eyes, but it quickly turned into fear.

What did he see?
Troops!

And they are not ordinary soldiers!

The first to appear was not the cultivator, but the other side's soldiers. They exuded a fierce aura, and were definitely well-trained after years of fighting, not just ordinary casual cultivators.

I'm really sick!
Zhou Shuisheng's face was distorted. It was like adding insult to injury. Where did this kid come from?
Could it be that some young master came out to experience life?

The next second, the pressure on his body suddenly dropped, and the ghost of Lin Zhengwen, who was originally running wild, was stopped instantly.

Even the lowest-ranking soldiers are not something that ordinary ghosts can contend with.

Not to mention that in order to protect Xu Xiaotian's personal safety, Lu Shan allocated him soldiers who were all well-trained veterans of the ancestral temple.

The quality of soldiers is more important than their quantity. Too much food and fodder will be a problem.

Xu Xiaotian only sent out two ghost soldiers, and without even having to make a move, he easily shocked Lin Zhengwen and Zhou Shuisheng at the same time.

Not to mention the Lin family. As soon as the two soldiers appeared, they instantly felt the atmosphere on the field was different, and the timid people subconsciously became weak in the knees.

"Daoyou, are you okay?"

Xu Xiaotian finally arrived and laughed. He looked like a harmless college student.

But his move just now told everyone that whoever dared to underestimate him would die without knowing it.

Zhou Shuisheng forced a smile and said, "Thank you for your help, fellow Taoist. I was careless and almost killed this evil beast. Please hand it over to me and I will continue to complete the master's commission."

"No hurry, no hurry."

Xu Xiaotian waved his hand: "What I'm more curious about is, this ghost was fine just now, why did it suddenly attack and hurt people? Is there any misunderstanding?"

He observed that Lin Zhengwen's ghost did not have any vicious aura, only pure resentment, which proved that he had never harmed anyone. There might be some hidden story behind this.

what? !

Is it the ghost that hurts people?

When the Lin family heard this, they were stunned.

Didn't Master Zhou just say that it was an invasion by external evil? There is no external evil?
Lin Guodong's eyes went dark: "So, the person I just hit was my dad?!"

Zhou Shuisheng's face turned green when he saw that he was exposed, and the corners of his mouth twitched: "Daoyou, you don't know, this kind of ghost with resentment is obviously controlled by external evil and has no control over itself."

Xu Xiaotian laughed and didn't respond.

It was just communicating with ghosts, as if everyone could do it, and he immediately turned to look at Lin Zhengwen.

Lin Zhengwen's emotions have stabilized at this moment and he can communicate normally.

Zhou Shuisheng's face changed again, and he hurriedly said, "Daoyou, please leave a way out for us so that we can meet in the future. The prefect and I often drink wine and tea together, and I will introduce you to each other later. The prefect will definitely like young talents like you, and will treat you as a guest of honor. You will definitely benefit from it."

benefit?

Xu Xiaotian sneered and turned his head: "Save these words for the Civil Affairs Bureau."

When Zhou Shuisheng heard the word "Civil Bureau", his legs suddenly went weak.

"No! I can't fail here! I haven't spent all my money yet, and my era has just begun!"

run!
Must run!
This was the only thought left in Zhou Shuisheng's mind.

If you drive away from here, there is still a chance of survival.

If he were to go to the civil affairs bureau and everything he did were exposed, it would be difficult to find out what happened.

However, as soon as he made a move, he was immediately caught by the soldiers. The one with the most murderous aura snorted heavily, and the cold light of his spear flashed, directly piercing his calf.

Zhou Shuisheng screamed, his face turned pale and he broke out in cold sweat from the pain.

The damage caused by soldiers and horses is to the soul and does not affect the body, but the pain of the soul is greater than that of the body.

Xu Xiaotian curled his lips and said, "Alright, stop struggling. The people from the Civil Affairs Bureau will be here soon. If you tell the truth and plead guilty with a good attitude, you may be able to get a reduced sentence. If you flee for fear of the crime, your crime will be even more serious!"

Zhou Shuisheng didn't dare to say anything. He looked depressed and lamented in his heart that he was really in trouble this time.

The Lin family members were all stunned. After Xu Xiaotian asked Lin Zhengwen the reason, he scolded them angrily. They were all embarrassed, especially Lin Guodong. The others wanted to eat him alive.

……

"What a hearty battle!"

Chen Jingle put down the potato chips and applauded with emotion.

The two military marshals nearby were completely confused.

How can this be so satisfying?

It was just a matter of a few rounds, just a fight between two noobs. Although Xu Xiaotian was stronger than Zhou Shuisheng, he was just that-so in the eyes of the two.

But since the adults have said it was a great pleasure, then so be it.

Who makes him the boss!

"Lvshan..."

Chen Jingle fell into deep thought.

In a sense, Lushan’s importance is second only to Zhengyi, Quanzhen and Wudang, and it deserves more attention than other orthodox Taoist sects.

There is no other reason, it is because it has a strong mass base, which is unmatched by many sects, not even Meishan, Yuanhuang, or Nanmao.

But this is something that should be considered above.

"Moreover, according to legend, Lushan is at the bottom of the Minjiang River. Only those who have reached a certain level of cultivation can see it. Could it be a small world?"
