The Strongest Daoist in the Heavens

Chapter 229 Forming the Tianshitang Exorcist Gathered in the Capital

"It doesn't matter. If there is too much rain, we can build reservoirs and bring rivers into rivers. It is better than not having a drop of water for hundreds of miles, so that there is no grain harvest." Li Shimin did not expect that the original severe drought would suddenly change. Cheng Flood, but he didn't blame Li He, on the contrary, he felt a little lucky.

This is because the root cause of the intractability of floods lies in the long-term rainfall. This kind of rainfall that only occurs once, even if it forms a flood, it is easy to treat.

Anyway, for now, all places are just a little caught off guard due to sudden precipitation, and there are no casualties.

In comparison, the previous severe drought was the real headache.

"I heard that the Taoist priest came here this time because he was entrusted by the old god Sun to help Tang eliminate demons. I don't know what you think of the 'locust demon god'?" Li Shimin asked suddenly.

In this regard, Li He did not answer, but instead asked: "What do you think, Your Majesty?"

The world is superstitious, thinking that both the drought demon and the locust demon are envoys sent by heaven to punish Li Shimin.Especially Hanba, who is said to be the daughter of Emperor Xuanyuan Huangdi. Because she loses her divine power and stays in the world, she usually does not appear in this world, but whenever an emperor loses her virtue and is not worthy of owning the world, she will show up, causing the land to be ridden for thousands of miles.

This is the voice Li He heard when he walked all the way after he came to this world.

It has to be said that the more people in the mythical world, the more superstitious they are.

Whether the birth of the locust demon has something to do with Li Shimin, Li He doesn't know, because the "monsters" in this world are all changed by people with resentment, even if he is the soul of former prince Li Jiancheng, it is not impossible.However, it is absolutely impossible for Hanba to be the one in history, because the daughter of the Yellow Emperor is a god, not a monster.

And the one that ravages the pass is a serious zombie, even if it has reached the level of Hanba, comparable to a fairy god, it is still a zombie.

It is fundamentally different from God.

"It is precisely because I don't know much about the 'locust demon god' that I asked the Taoist priest for advice, and I also asked the Taoist priest to clarify his doubts." Li Shimin said.

In fact, he was really not sure whether the locust monster was a monster or a punishment from heaven.

Lao Li's family is different from other dynasties. They are the descendants of Lao Tzu Li Er, descendants of sages who are serious.Although Taiqing would not take this descendant seriously, and his descendants were not limited to Li Yuan's family, after all, there was such a layer of blood relationship.

In this case, killing his elder brother to take over the position is actually a shame for the sage of Taiqing, which is purely sinful.

Not to mention whether God will be angry, but the "ancestor" enshrined by Lao Li's family alone is very likely to be angry.

Therefore, it is not impossible that the drought demon and the locust demon god were sent by the gods in the sky.

"Your Majesty's doubts can't be solved by the poor, and there is no need to solve them." Li He shook his head and said, "In the eyes of the poor, neither the drought man nor the locust demon god are nothing more than mere monsters. Rumors and rumors cannot be trusted. Instead of thinking about those useless things, it is better to find a way to get rid of the demons and solve the harm caused by the demons to the common people."

In fact, even if the locust demon god is really sent by the gods, the demon still has to be eliminated.

Because if the gods really want to punish Li Shimin, they can just hook his Yangshou. There is no need to be so troublesome. Sending the demons down is more of a test.

However, Li He prefers that it is purely a demon, not a demon god.

What world is this?
Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons!
It is a trivial matter for the monsters here to wreak havoc on the human world. The king of the demon king, Sun Wukong, even carried two watermelon knives, and hacked from Nantianmen to Penglai East Road for three days and three nights.It can be said that the gods were too busy to take care of themselves that day, so they still have the time to punish the emperor?
Even if one has kung fu, whether one can command the demons is still a problem.

It's not that Li He looks down on the gods here, but the gods in this world, that's how it really is.

There is no sense of presence at all.

"That is to say, the Taoist chief advocates eliminating demons?" Li Shimin asked.

Li He nodded and said, "Of course."

The best way to gain merit and luck in this world is to kill demons and eliminate demons. The rampage of demons is a disaster for people in this world, but for Li He, it is a huge source of merit: if the demons in the entire world can be pacified , Restoring peace in the world, the merits you can get will definitely not be less than creating a catastrophe in the Marvel world.

And even more.

Because slaying demons and demons is the job of a cultivator.

"It's so good." Li Shimin said.

In fact, with his character, no matter whether the locust demon god is a pure demon or sent down from the sky, he has to get rid of it.Perhaps he would feel that he might have really offended the heavens, but it would definitely not affect his decision, let alone sit still.

If he was afraid, he would not have done it in the first place. If he was cowardly, he would not be Li Shimin.

The reason why I talked so much with Li He was that besides inquiring about Li He's views on him from the side, what I wanted more was to let Li He propose to eliminate demons in the court hall as someone other than Fang, so as to take advantage of the trend and form him The official exorcist organization "Tianshitang" that wants to be formed.

Li He is not the only one who wants to calm down the demons in the world. As the ruler of this world, Li Shimin also wants to eradicate all demons.

But his foundation is not stable, and he will be powerless for a while: it is unrealistic to simply call on the various sects to eliminate demons. If those exorcists who only care about their own fame and fortune can really eliminate demons, the world will not be like this.However, the establishment of an official exorcist organization is a matter that shakes the foundation of various sects. The backlash will definitely not be small, and it is also urgent.

Therefore, this matter has been stranded for a long time, and there has been no progress.

But now, with the appearance of Li He, he saw an opportunity.

It's not good for the imperial court to directly shake the foundation of the various sects, but what if an outsider is asked to boil frogs in warm water?

As for whether Li He can do it, he is not worried.

To be able to irrigate Guanzhong with seawater from thousands of miles away, Li He's magic power is simply unimaginable to him, and he can definitely deter those exorcists.In addition, the imperial court is not a vegetarian if it can win the world. As long as it survives the initial turmoil and enters a stage of steady development, the subsequent major sects will not be able to cause any waves.

In the end, at the court, Li Shimin proposed to reward Li He on the grounds that "praying for rain is meritorious", and let him make any request.

Li He, on the other hand, talked about the disaster of the locust monster, and said that it was difficult for him to deal with it alone, so he asked Li Shimin to form a "Tianshitang" and invite exorcists from all over the world to eliminate the monster.In this regard, Li Shimin readily agreed and canonized Li He as a "first-rank protector of the country" and was fully responsible for the establishment of the "Tianshitang".

Speaking of this, I have to mention that although the official positions in the Tang Dynasty had ranks, the highest prime minister was only the third rank.

The second rank and the first rank are both empty positions. Although there are, they do not hold real power.

The same is true for the guardian of the country, similar to officials such as Taifu and Sangong, the highest in name, but does not manage the government.

It can be said that the status is achieved without envy.

Li He, as a "first-rank guardian of the country", seems to have a high status, but in fact, if he wants others to be obedient, he has to use his strength to achieve it in the way of an exorcist.However, if there is strength, who would dare to underestimate it even without such a false name?
In the final analysis, the world of The Exorcist is a fairy tale version of fantasy.

Strength is paramount, and the strong are respected.

The establishment of Tianshitang by the imperial court can be said to have caused a thousand waves in the world of exorcism. The credit system of the mercenary union is similar to that of online games. After members join, they can get a large sum of money, or "credit" equivalent to that sum of money, for every task they do to eliminate demons.

According to the amount of credit, it is divided into nine levels of heavenly masters.

Taking copper coins as a symbol, from low to high, they are one-coin Tianshi, two-coin Tianshi, three-coin Tianshi, four-coin Tianshi...and so on, until the highest nine-coin Tianshi.As long as you reach the corresponding level, you can get the corresponding salary every month, which is very generous.

Generally speaking, a celestial master with one qian can have enough food and clothing, more than four qian can be considered rich, and a celestial master with nine qian can definitely become a rich man.

For the vast majority of exorcists, this is an offer they cannot refuse.

Not only that, but the level of a celestial master is also a proof of status. After all, in the past, there was no way to tell whether an exorcist was high or not except for a fight. You can see the difference in time.

This is not all.

One to nine coins, in Li He's setting, is just a regular celestial master.

If someone can surpass Nine Coins, they can become a separate class, and use their own name as their grade to become a "titled celestial master".That is the highest-ranking existence among the celestial masters, holding the second-rank official title of the Tang Dynasty, and the portraits will be sent to all parts of the country, and the whole country will be honored with the same respect.

In terms of treatment, it is already comparable to the "god" conferred by the imperial court, extremely honorable.

In general, it is equivalent to the "strongest king" of a certain alliance. It is absolutely full of force, and it is not afraid that it will not attract people.

In addition, there is an annual "No. [-] Exorcist Selection". The winner will become the "No. [-] Exorcist in the World" of the year. People look up.

It can almost be said that the treatment of Tianshitang has surpassed that of civil and military officials in the Manchu Dynasty.

If this is done in another place, it is absolutely impossible to achieve it, and the people in the court and the emperor will not allow this level of department to appear.But this world has been plagued by monsters for a long time. In order to eradicate the world's monsters, Li Shimin is very determined, no matter how much money he spends, he will not hesitate.

In addition, while joining Tianshitang, he also had to support the Li family as "Taiqing orthodox", and he was not at a loss.

As for the courtiers, they are all mortals, and they treat exorcists like gods. Even if they feel unhappy, who would dare to speak out?
As long as the times still need it, the exorcist is the uncle.

"I'll be obedient. The treatment in Tianshitang is so good. If you go in and become a titled Tianshi Dangdang, won't you have to worry about wine and meat for the rest of your life?" Two catties of meat, or just eat one catty, and another catty of Big Dipper Five Elements Fist Subduing Demon Master Shi Yan, said after seeing the imperial list.

Possessing peerless martial arts, he travels here and there to subdue demons and eliminate demons, but when it comes to his wealth, he is still in short supply.

Anyway, every time you catch a big monster, you can have a full meal, and you usually have to plan your life.

very poor.

It's not that exorcists don't make money. In fact, celestial masters are the most profitable industry in this era, bar none.However, exorcists make a lot of money and spend a lot of money. It costs money to practice martial arts, and it costs money to heal the wounded. The balance between the two is actually not much.

Therefore, the vast majority of exorcists live in poverty.

"Come on, here are two catties of meat, if you're full, go to Tianshitang!" Shi Yan finally decided.

At the same time, on the other side, Tian Canjiao, who was wandering on the road like a beggar, also saw the imperial list.

He is a person who doesn't care much about money, except for eating and drinking, he hardly enjoys it. He is filthy, even more sloppy than Chen Xuanzang.However, he is very obsessed with fame and dreams of becoming the world's number one exorcist.

Therefore, after seeing the selection of "titled celestial master" and "the world's number one exorcist", he was excited.

"My 'heavenly disabled foot', it's time to compete with the heroes of the world!"

At the same time, Mr. Kongkong, who was having a good time in the brothel, also learned about the imperial list.

If it is said that Wuxingquan is short of money, and Tiancanjiao is fond of fame and fortune, then his son Kongkong is neither short of money nor fame and fortune: he is far stronger than the two of them, and he can even fight against the king of monsters, Monkey King, in the original book. , Subduing demons and eliminating demons is really not too simple, you can easily earn a lot of money, and the unique skill "Sword of Void" is also recognized as unparalleled in the world.

However, after learning about the establishment of Tianshitang, he was even more excited than the two of them.

It's not because of money, nor is it because of wanting to compete for the number one in the world, but because of the aggressiveness of the "titled celestial master".

Mr. Kongkong doesn't care about anything, he only cares about one thing, that's face, he likes to pretend to be aggressive, he wants to be aggressive, and the title of Heavenly Master is the highest level of compulsion, so he can't refuse at all.

"Drought demons are not easy, and locust monsters are not easy either. Besides me, who else in this world can control them?" Young Master Kong Kong said, getting up and leaving.

Regarding this, the girl serving in the brothel said: "Boss, you left after playing halfway, and you have to pay."

Hearing this, Mr. Kongkong staggered and almost fell down.

"Is my son Kongkong the one who is short of that little money?"

"If it's not bad, you have to give it."

Empty son: "..."

When did I say no?
At Caishikou, the fat monk smirked and said, "Hey, Xuanzang, are you tempted?"

"I didn't. The money and fame of Tianshitang couldn't attract me. I went to fight monsters for the love of the world. The purpose was only to get rid of locust monsters and save the common people. I didn't want to get ahead." Say.

In this regard, the fat monk shook his head and said: "No, this time you want to be famous, you must come back with the title of Heavenly Master."

"Why?" Chen Xuanzang asked.

"Because there is no rice at home!" Master said.

Chen Xuanzang: "..."

"Don't worry, you have the Exorcism Ceremony taught by your master, you will definitely become a titled celestial master, maybe with luck, you can even become the world's number one exorcist." The fat monk said.

Although the heavenly secrets are disordered and many things cannot be seen clearly, anyone with a discerning eye knows that the appearance of Tianshitang will definitely stir up the situation.

Such a big event, Mahayana Buddhism can not be absent!

All kinds of people, with various purposes, finally gathered in the capital to participate in the first exorcism conference held by Tianshitang.

"Five Elements Fist, Tian Canjiao, Young Master Kongkong, Chen Xuanzang, Miss Duan..." Li He sat on the head, glanced at it, and found that the exorcist masters in the original book had arrived, even the fake Taoist priests who were pure liars and their skills The not-so-good second part, Taoist priests, all came to the conference.
