Liao Zhai's Refining God

"There is no need to worry or hesitate." Wang Lin waved her hand, Chu Yang's small sword shot out from the altar and dived into the water. Although its speed was affected to a certain extent, the effect was not great. The water flow, making it still comparable to the speed of an arrow in the water, probed towards the pool of water.

Wang Lin and Chuyang Xiaojian were united in their minds. Naturally, through Chuyang Xiaojian, they could sense whether there was any danger in the pool and whether there were powerful monsters lurking.

"There are ghosts, but their cultivation level is not very high." Half an hour later, Chu Yang Xiaojian returned from the mountainside along the water pool, and initially detected ghost aura inside, but there were no powerful monsters moving.The water in the pool is not very deep. If you go about [-] meters deep into the mountainside, you will enter a huge cave, where the jade is located.

With Chuyang Xiaojian's detection, Wang Lin immediately took off her long gown and sneaked into the pool wearing only her underwear and underwear. Nie Xiaoqian fled into the altar to accompany her.Chuyang Xiaojian explored the way ahead, quickly entered the pool, and followed the previously explored route, came out of the waterway in the mountainside, and entered the cave.

"The turtle-breathing method is really not easy!" Wang Lin came out of the water. After diving for such a long time, she didn't feel any discomfort at all. Congratulations to Wang Lin.If so, Wang Lin has the confidence to hide in the water for half a day, or even longer.

There are more than a dozen pieces of jade scattered in the cave at the belly of the mountain, which seem to have been dug from the surrounding walls.These walls are assembled together like pebbles, big and small. Although they are solid, knocking them down with Wang Lin's cultivation is easy.

Judging from the traces left on the mountain wall, the previous monster must be the jade excavated in this cave.Because the traces on it are very similar to its claws.

Follow the passage of the cave, turn around a cave entrance, and there is a huge cave in front of you, which is the size of a basketball court. This is a closed mountainside cave, and you can see shiny jade blocks on the surrounding walls.

"What a waste of these beautiful jades!" Jade blocks were also scattered on the ground, but what worried Wang Lin was that there were also a large number of bones scattered in the jade blocks. Judging from the shape of the bones, there were human skulls and animal skulls. This monster not only eats people, but also eats many other animals. Wang Lin estimated that those animals may have been attacked when they came to drink water.

"My lord!" Nie Xiaoqian escaped from the altar, and pointed to the cave wall to remind him that there were several ghosts floating close to the cave wall.These ghosts are relatively low-level, and there are very few real ghosts. Most of them are ghosts, so there is nothing to worry about.

"Brother Wang, why are you here?" At this moment, a ghost protruded its head from behind a reddish-brown boulder on the inner wall of the cave, and exclaimed when it saw Wang Lin.

Chapter 236 Imperial Seal

"Guo Zilin!" Wang Lin's anger rose in her heart, and her killing intent was unstoppable.The villagers in this mountain village are really unforgivable.

Guo Zilin was just a fledgling, although his personality was a bit stubborn and a little emotional, but he was still a scholar of noble character, and he was killed here like this.Looking around, the ghost-turning scholars here may also be in the same situation.

"Brother Guo, I'm late. If you have any funeral matters to tell your family, I can do it for you. Then, I'll see you off," Wang Lin said.

Now, through studying in the bronze mirror, Wang Lin knows that it is said in Buddhist propaganda that Buddhist scriptures have the function of superseding ghosts, and it is said that purified ghosts can also have an afterlife.But whether there is, no one knows.

"Brother Wang, I have pity on my parents who worked so hard to bring me up. I haven't achieved fame yet, and I haven't fulfilled my filial piety. I really feel unwilling." Guo Zilin covered his face and wept.

"People cannot be resurrected after death. It is even more miserable to be a lonely ghost in the world with such an obsession. One day, you may embark on the way of killing and become a disaster in the world. Do you want to do this?" Wang Lin said.

"I don't want to. I study for the benefit of the people. How can I take such a path? If so, you can do it. As for my parents, if you have the opportunity to go to Huiyang Mansion, tell them that children are unfilial and can only be reborn in the next life." Honor them." Guo Zilin hesitated for a moment and said with tears.

"What about you? I have a volume of Buddhism, which can save you from rebirth in bliss." Wang Lin looked at the surrounding ghosts and said.

"Don't think about it! I study poetry and books hard. For what reason, I will get riches and honors immediately, but now I die here tragically. I am unwilling, unwilling. I want to kill all the villagers in any village or town, and kill them all." A scholar suddenly became angry. , The ghost body quickly condensed, and the evil aura gathered from all around and gathered in his ghost body.

That monstrous beast devoured a lot of living beings here, and the corpses filled the ground with dead air, nourishing too much sinister aura, which is the fertile soil for ghosts to grow.It's just that most of these scholars were obsessed with righteousness before, and they didn't evolve into evil ghosts or fierce ghosts. Now after Wang Lin said, this ghost has begun to evolve.

As he evolved, three more began to evolve, crazily absorbing the evil energy here.The ghost body became more and more evil.

The glow of the altar around Wang Lin's waist disappeared in a flash, and all these ghosts were taken into the altar.Their cultivation base is extremely low, and they have not entered the level of real ghosts, so naturally they have no resistance at all.

"What about you!" Wang Lin looked at the other ghosts indifferently.

"Life is nothing more than a dream. I didn't know until I turned into a ghost that the people's hearts are evil, they are uneducated, and the world will be in chaos. I will educate these evil people in my next life." A scholar said loudly.

Other ghosts followed behind him silently, and one of them gradually faded and disappeared.Obviously, at this time, the obsession in his heart was eliminated and disappeared automatically.

"Prajna Paramita,..." Wang Lin recited the Buddhist scriptures, and the power of the innate soul appeared in the void through the secret method of the Buddhist scriptures, turning into white and pure halos. These ghosts gradually eliminated the ghost bodies in these halos. It turned into pure fresh air and dissipated between heaven and earth.

Wang Lin carefully observed these clear qi, and compared with the knowledge she had learned in the bronze mirror, she had a feeling in her heart that perhaps Buddhism really has the ability to purify rebirth.The human soul is nothing but a mass of energy. After being purified, it only eliminates consciousness and restores it to energy. If there is an afterlife, is it still itself? It can only be said that what is passed down is just a mass of energy.

Now, as the true soul is promoted to innate, the power of purification produced by reading this scripture is getting stronger and stronger.And the perception is more profound.

It's just that Wang Lin doesn't intend to practice Buddhism, and knows that she can't be too diligent in this area, because every time she recites this Buddhist scriptures, she will have a feeling of compassion and compassion, without desires and desires.Although I also like to be indifferent and casual, my original heart is different from the teachings advocated by Buddhism, so it is impossible to go against my original heart to study Buddhism; Practice by yourself.

Wang Lin believes that half of Lanruo Temple's ghost king is that demon monk, and I'm afraid it is the same. He has practiced Buddhism more and more, but his heart has not reached the state of tranquility, inaction, and compassion, so he crossed the thunder pond and walked into an evil path.

"Brother Wang, please do it. I should have died in Changshe Ridge. It was Brother Wang who saved my life. It was an eye-opener for me to realize that there are gods and ghosts in this world. After leaving Mirror Lake Villa, I I wanted to go back to my hometown, but I feel that even if there are ghosts and ghosts in this world, the courage of scholars should not be lost. It is still extremely important to educate the people after ghosts and gods manifest in the world.

Just like the villagers around Jinghua Lake, they were coerced by evil gods, and they worshiped incense and vows against their will. In fact, they were helping the evil spirits.

So I embarked on the road of study tour again with this thought in mind. I want to go to the capital and report what I have seen and heard to His Majesty today. " Guo Zilin said.

"Brother Guo, if there is a choice for you to exist in this world in another form and continue to do what you want to do, would you still be willing?" Wang Lin was taken aback, feeling that Guo Zilin's "education" meant something. Very good, if you want to govern the world well, you must punish the evil and promote the good, and the people's belief in the good is the foundation, and it is also the foundation for the growth of those good gods.

"Brother Wang!" Guo Zilin stared at Wang Lin in a daze, but then nodded solemnly and said, "If Brother Wang can rebuild, I am willing to serve him as a servant."

"Okay, you treated me like a disciple before, so we are predestined, so I will give you this chance." Wang Lin waved her hand.

Immediately, Nie Xiaoqian showed her dharma body, a stream of light flickered on her fingertips, and activated the spell, and a stream of innate true yang power was injected into Guo Zilin's ghost body, and Guo Zilin's ghost body couldn't help shaking violently, obviously it was extremely painful, but He stubbornly stuck to his heart and didn't let out a whimper.

This is Nie Xiaoqian's ability to be a God Envoy only after she was promoted to the Innate True Spirit.It was also Guo Zilin's luck that his obsession after death turned out to be the reddish-brown boulder. In this cave, this boulder has the nature of the five elements of fire, which invisibly changed Guo Zilin's ghost physique, giving him a He has a spiritual root of the fire attribute, if not for this, he would not be able to become Nie Xiaoqian's envoy.Wang Lin could only purify him.

Because Guo Zilin's cultivation was extremely low, the transformation was completed after one hour. After the transformation, Wang Lin injected ten strands of the original power of the ghost's soul and three strands of the original power of the real ghost's soul into his spirit body, and after another three hours of transformation , his cultivation has stabilized in the realm of true spirit, and a ball of hot true yang is rolling around his body, which is quite different from the previous ghostly appearance.

"Young master, master!" Guo Zilin was overjoyed, feeling that he was much stronger than any weak scholar in his lifetime.So he bowed to Wang Lin and Nie Xiaoqian and thanked them.After accepting the inheritance, he naturally knows his status.

237 Chapter Yufang

Today, among Wang Lin's body protectors, only sisters Nie Xiaoxuan have envoys and servants.Of course, the God of Body Protection does not have unlimited collection of envoys and servants. One is to consume vows and resources for cultivation; God envoys need to consume spiritual seeds to control. If they collect too much, they will easily get out of control. The third is to have suitable seedlings, which must be consistent with the five elements of the body-protecting method god himself.

Previously, when Guo Zilin was practicing, Wang Lin and Nie Xiaoqian had searched the mountainside, took away all the jade stones scattered here and within sight, and put them into the storage bag and the land seal.

After leaving the cave in the mountainside, by the way, the dead monster was also included in the land god seal space.This monster corpse is more precious than jade, and it is something that cultivators like, so naturally they cannot be discarded.

"Go tonight and check the memories of those villagers. Anyone who has done evil things will be killed." Wang Lin gave Nie Xiaoqian and Guo Zilin instructions.

Not killing mortals indiscriminately is the bottom line Wang Lin set for herself, but now these villagers deserve to die, so Wang Lin naturally feels that they deserve it for killing them.

Moreover, Wang Lin herself didn't realize that after entering the world of Liaozhai, Wang Lin's temperament also changed imperceptibly, and she no longer became uneasy in her heart.The heart gradually became tough.

In the early morning of the next day, Wang Lin appeared on the official road leading to Jiyang Mansion, still wearing a green shirt and carrying a bookcase. As for how many villagers Nie Xiaoqian and Guo Zilin killed last night, Wang Lin didn't ask, and they didn't say anything.

Nie Xiaoqian knew that this was the pain in Wang Lin's heart. Seeing such a simple villager become so sad, Wang Lin felt uncomfortable, so she also warned Guo Zilin not to mention it.

Fuqing Temple is located on Qingyang Mountain in the north of Jiyang Mansion, so to go to Fuqing Temple must pass through Jiyang Mansion.

Outside the city of Jiyang Mansion, there is a teahouse beside the official road. Wang Lin walked in casually and asked for a bowl of tea. There are many such teahouses in Daxia. Lin liked it a lot.

"Is the young gentleman a scholar who studies abroad?" Just as he sat down, a man about 30 years old came over and asked.

"Yes! Brother, what advice do you have?" Wang Lin glanced at the person and said, and found that the person's clothes were Zhou Zheng's, wearing a silk dress, with beautiful jade hanging around his waist, but it was not a scholar's attire, but a common one in this world. "Officer outside" clothes, that is to say, this person is a son of a rich family.

"I don't dare to teach you. Do you know what is the most famous object in Jiyang Mansion?" The man continued to be pedantic.

Seeing Wang Lin shaking his head, he smiled proudly and said, "Jiyang's beautiful jade is famous all over the world. As the saying goes, gentlemen admire beautiful jade, especially scholars. If you can have a good jade by your side, it will greatly increase your value."

"This is a trick!" Wang Lin was startled immediately, this routine was very popular in her previous life.

"What Xiongtai said is that it's just that it's hard to tell whether jade is good or bad, and I don't know where to buy it in Jiyang Mansion." Wang Lin said.

"I'm from Jiyang Mansion. If my husband wants to buy beautiful jade, I can accompany you. I'm familiar with all the jade workshops in Jiyang Mansion. I'll take you to some of the best jade workshops to ensure that you can choose the best one." Good jade, I'll give you the best price." Seeing that Wang Lin is very smart, the person suddenly brightened his eyes and said with interest.

"Little Xianggong, what do you think of my piece of jade? It is carved from chalcedony. It is delicate and soft, and the inner lines form a landscape. It is a rare good thing in the world." A jade pendant was handed over to Wang Lin.

"I don't know which jade workshops in Jiyang Mansion are the most famous?" Wang Lin asked instead of picking up his jade.

"The jade of Shengong Yufang is of course second to none. Its owner has the best carving skills. It is said that he has a daughter who is only [-] years old, but she has already won the true biography of her father. A pair of "Early Spring Flowers and Birds" carved with a piece of rare beautiful jade ", is a must in the Jiyang Mansion, only those distinguished guests have the opportunity to see her beauty.

In my opinion, the young man is not a rich man, so don’t go to Shengong Yufang. I will introduce you to a few other jade workshops. lacking a little. "This person said.

"No, if you want to buy jade, you must buy the best ones. Naturally, you must go to Shengong Yufang. And there is such a treasure as "The Picture of Flowers and Birds in Early Spring". When you come to Jiyang Mansion, you must see it. You can't miss it. Brother Can Taiwan take me to Shengong Yufang." Wang Lin said.

"Sister-in-law, you didn't understand what I meant. Shengong Yufang sells handicrafts, so it's not suitable for you." The man said with a bitter face.Obviously, he didn't want to lure Wang Lin to Shengong Yufang.

"Since Xiongtai is not happy, then I will find Shengong Yufang." Wang Lin said.

"Don't, don't, I'll go with the young man. If the young man doesn't like the jade from Shengong Yufang, I can take him to other jade workshops." The man said.

"Then I'll have to thank you!" Wang Lin said with a smile.

Jiyang Mansion is much more prosperous than Jinhua Mansion. After all, this is one of the most affluent mansions in the Great Xia Kingdom. Going north to Jiyang Mansion is Gyeonggi Mansion.The buildings in the city are magnificent, the blocks are regular, and the flow of people is constant.

Shengong Yushifang is located in the northernmost part of Jiyang Prefecture, where there is a whole jade street with jade workshops next to each other.

On the contrary, Shengong Yushifang is in the most secluded place, and a two-story exquisite small building is its house facing the street.The door plaque of the small building is carved from a whole piece of black jade, with dragons and phoenixes carved around it, and there is a line of three red characters "Shengongfang" in the middle, which is also carved with a kind of red jade. Only this door plaque It is very elegant and precious.

Wang Lin casually looked back through the gap in the small building, and found that there was a big manor behind the small building. Obviously, this is also the site of Shengongfang. To have such a large manor here, it can be seen that Shengong Yushifang strength.

"Mr. Wu, why is it you!" The man led Wang Lin into the small building of Shengongfang facing the street, and a worker frowned and said disgustedly when he saw this man.Only then did Wang Lin know that the person who brought her here was Wu Laosan.

"Li Quan, I brought you a distinguished guest today, tell me how you thank me." Wu Laosan said with a hippie smile.

"You know the rules of my God's Workshop. Jade is only sold to those who are predestined and those who know the goods. If you want to make money, go to several other jade workshops. Don't come to us. We don't welcome you here." The guy said angrily.

"Xiao Xianggong, let me just say that Shengongfang is not the place for us to come. Why do we have to suffer this kind of disdain for customers? Why don't I take you to see some other places, which will definitely satisfy you." Wu Laosan Not the slightest bit of guilt.

"No, I like to listen to what this guy says. Jade is only sold to people who are destined and who know what to buy. Maybe I am a person who is destined to know what to buy. Dude, come over to your boss, I have a big deal to talk to him." Wang Lin He smiled slightly and said to the buddy.

Chapter 238 Trading

"Xiao Xianggong, it's not that I'm trying to save your face. If you want to buy jade, you can choose it from the shelves here. I can make the jade pendants under a hundred taels. I advise you to give up this idea, the shopkeeper has rules, and we have no business dealings of more than [-] taels, you will not see this "Early Spring Flower and Bird Picture" of my house." The guy thought Wang Lin was like other scholars, I also came here to see this picture because of the reputation, so I politely declined.

"I didn't come here to look at this picture on purpose. I have a good jade. I wonder if you want it?" Wang Lin touched from her sleeve and took out a fist-sized jade.

"Hmm!" As soon as this piece of jade was shot, the guy's eyes widened, and he saw that this piece of jade and graphite was as green as a wash, covered with a layer of smoke, and the smoke seemed to be flowing quietly, and under the refraction of the light, it looked extremely agile. .

Not only the buddy's eyes widened, but the youngest Wu behind him also became short of breath. Unexpectedly, the "fish" he met turned out to be a hidden person, carrying such top-quality jade on his body, he was really blind .

"Dear guest, wait a moment, wait a moment!" The guy rushed to the second floor, and there was not much time, and a person in his fifties walked down from the top.This person has kind eyebrows and kind eyes, and is dressed in a uniform. The most obvious feature is that the two eyebrows are white, and he looks quite happy.

"A cultivator!" Wang Lin observed with the Qi Watching Technique, and found that there was a stream of energy around the person's body, and there was also a hidden energy flow in the brain, which indicated that he was a cultivator who cultivated both life and soul.

"High-quality jade. Please come upstairs." The man picked up the jade in Wang Lin's hand and carefully identified it for a while, then nodded and invited.

"Okay!" Wang Lin nodded and followed this person upstairs.

"This little brother wait below!" Wu Laosan was about to follow Wang Lin upstairs when he was blocked by the shopkeeper.

"Treasurer Bai, we are together." Wu Laosan stared at the jade in Wang Lin's hand with a light in his eyes.

"Li Quan, give him a tael of silver and let him leave right now!" Shopkeeper Bai said.

"Yes. It's from the shopkeeper." Li Quan gave Wu Laosan a hard look, and took out a tael of silver and handed it to Wu Laosan.

"Little Master, if you need the help of a villain, you can tell me at any time, and I will wait for you outside." Li Quan took the money and greeted Wang Lin with a playful smile.

"Okay!" Wang Lin didn't take it seriously, and walked into the second floor with Shopkeeper Bai.

"Fellow Daoist, do you really want to do business, or do you have other plans?" After stepping into a secret room, the shopkeeper Bai asked with a serious face.

"I don't know what the shopkeeper wants. I got some jade by chance, so I naturally want to find a good buyer. No other intention." Wang Lin was startled, not knowing why the other party asked.

Moreover, Wang Lin did not shield her own cultivation. After all, jade was stored in the storage bag and the seal of the land, and taking it out from it could not be hidden from others, and it must be the ability of a cultivator.

What surprised Wang Lin was that the shopkeeper here was also a cultivator, so that would save a lot of trouble, otherwise, he would have to use blindness to cover it up and take out all the jade stones.

"If Fellow Daoist is sincerely here to do business, our Divine Workshop will definitely satisfy Fellow Daoist." Shopkeeper Bai said.

"It's true that I came to do business, and I didn't know that your Shengongfang is a first-class jade workshop until I was outside the city, so I decided to do business with you, and I have no other ideas." Wang Lin didn't know. This shopkeeper Bai was on guard against something, but he faintly felt that something was wrong, so he said it directly.As for what he was referring to, although Wang Lin didn't know what was going on, she didn't want to cause more trouble in an unfamiliar place.

"We bought this piece of jade for 300 taels of silver. I'm not bragging. Fellow Daoists would not have bought it at such a high price after traveling all over the city. If fellow Daoists are interested, we will accept it." Shopkeeper Bai said.

"Don't worry, I don't just want that. If the price is right, I'll sell it to you." Wang Lin said with her palms stretched, and a large pile of bright and shining jade suddenly appeared in front of the two of them, which made them Shopkeeper Bai's expression became anxious.

"My dear guest, wait a moment. I can't be the master of such a large amount. I have to ask my master for instructions." Shopkeeper Bai said, and left in a hurry.

"The owner of my workshop said that we will accept all these jades. I will go and estimate the price for you. It will take about two days. If fellow Taoists don't worry about my workshop, you can leave the jade here. I will give you a certificate, please How about a distinguished guest coming to my workshop to rest for two days?" Shopkeeper Bai said.

"Good!" Wang Lin nodded.

Afterwards, shopkeeper Bai issued a written receipt to Wang Lin, asking Wang Lin to keep it.Then he greeted two guys to lead Wang Lin into the courtyard behind the two-story building facing the street, and placed him in a guest room.

"Guests, please don't wander around. There is a small garden at the back of the guest room where you can walk and relax; you can go out the front door, but if there are female relatives in the deep house, don't go there. It will be very inconvenient. There are servants who will deliver meals every day." The clerk reminded road.

"Good!" Wang Lin nodded.

Wang Lin put the bookcase in the guest room, then left Shengongfang at dusk, and walked towards Jiyang Fucheng.

Jiyang Mansion is a big city second to none, so Wang Lin naturally wanted to take a stroll.There are several places to visit. This is Wang Lin's habit. One is the Town God's Temple, to feel whether the Shinto is prosperous here, and you can see whether it is safe here; the other is to find some delicacies to try.

"Xiao Xianggong." Wang Lin just walked out of the workshop, and saw Wu Laosan still lingering outside, and hurriedly greeted Wang Lin when she came out.

"Hey, Wu Laosan, why are you still here?" Wang Lin actually saw him when she went out, and now she is very clear that this Wu Laosan is a gangster, but she didn't expect this person to be so persistent and has been waiting for me , All of them couldn't help but be very interested.

"Xiao Xianggong, the God's Workshop I brought you into is naturally responsible to the end. I'm afraid that the God's Workshop will seek wealth and kill you, so I'm relieved to see you come out safely." Wu Laosan pretended to be intimate.

"You're overthinking. We talked very well. I'm still staying in Shengongfang. Jiyang Mansion is a big city that is second to none. Naturally, I want to take advantage of the night to go shopping." Wang Lin said.

"That's right, the night in Jiyang Mansion is extremely beautiful. Yihualou in the west of the city has newly launched a nobleman who only sells art but not life; he is proficient in reading, writing, poetry and painting, especially good at painting landscapes, which is extremely exquisite It's hard to see Fangyan without someone I know well. I happen to be familiar with the old bustard in Yihualou, so I'll take the young master to have a look. Maybe the nobleman will fall in love with the young master at a glance. I don't know for a night." Wu Wu The third child hurriedly said.

"My son is not good at this. Is there any food in Jiyang Mansion? I want to taste it." Wang Lin said.

"Then I know best, the Drunken Immortal Duck in Zuixianlou is the most famous, I'll take you to taste it." Wu Laosan said.

"Let's go, try it!" Wang Lin said.
