Chapter 527 Wind and Rain Mountain Temple

Late at night.

Inside the mountain temple.

This is an abandoned mountain temple.

Although there are temples in this world, they only worship spirit gods. The so-called spirit gods are just some spirits and monsters. They are qualified to become spirit gods only after they have been canonized by the immortal gate, have jade talismans and golden books, and have obtained the pardon order of the immortal gate.

This thing only exists in the territory controlled by the immortal gate.

This is because the immortal gate cultivates the self, and the human self is an existence that transcends everything. It does not worship any gods. Even the Taoist ancestors respected by the immortal gate do not have statues and portraits. What they worship is just a Tai Chi diagram.

You can believe in it sincerely, but you don’t need to worship it, and you don’t need to regard it as the supreme existence, like the Buddhists who prostrate themselves before the Buddha’s Dharma.

The Taoists don’t care about these.

If you regard Daozu as the supreme being and worship him with awe, your cultivation in this life will be just that. Even if you have enough resources and skills, you will not be able to reach a high place in the end, because your mind is limited and your soul is not pure enough.

Only by firmly believing in yourself and believing that you can transcend everything and having such a mind can you go further on the road of cultivation.

The immortal sect under Daozu never restricts the lower-level disciples.

Of course, this is the case on the surface, and in fact, restrictions are inevitable. The amount of resources depends on talent. The rules on the surface are like this, but this world is no exception. Like the previous two worlds, there are also unspoken rules. At least, they cannot be avoided in the secular sects.

As for the territory commanded by the Demon Sect, there is no temple dedicated to the spirit gods.

Like the Buddhist sect, the Demon Sect also has gods to believe in. They believe in Daluotian and call themselves the Holy Sect. Within the sphere of influence, only temples that believe in Daluotian are allowed to exist.

However, within the scope controlled by the Immortal Sect.

Although the Spirit Temple can protect the world and make up for the incompleteness of the power of the immortal gate, there are very few high-end immortal gate Qi-refining masters, and most of them are isolated from the world, just like the word "immortal". People in the mountains are far away from the world in the deep mountains and swamps, and rarely appear in the world.

The dynasties replaced the immortal gates to rule the world.

For example, Xu State, where the Changlin Sword Sect is located, there are many similar countries. Similarly, the Demon Sect also controls many countries, and they are intertwined with each other.

Most of the wars between the immortal gates and the Demon Sect are proxy wars, that is, secular battles between dynasties.

When wars occur, forces such as the Sword-Asking Sect, the Changlin Sword Sect, and the Cui Family must send people to join and become a member of the army.

Hexi County is the territory of the Sword-Asking Sect.

The Sword-Asking Sect is a secular sword cultivator, and above it is the Tianjian Sect, one of the immortal gates. The Tianjian Sect's sphere of influence is Xu State, and the Changlin Sword Sect is the outer sect of the Sword-Asking Sect, well, an outer sect that is not paid much attention to and noticed. Compared with the Cui Family's influence in the Sword-Asking Sect, Cheng Nanpeng is nothing.

This is the system of the immortal gate.

Spirit gods are a supplement to this system. Many ordinary people will rely on spirit gods and offer incense and other things in exchange for protection. For example, if they have a minor illness like a fever, they just need to go to the spirit god temple and spend some money to ask the temple priest or the magician to use the power of the spirit god to treat it.

For ordinary people, the spirit god is heaven.

However, for the immortal gate, the spirit god is nothing. If they make a mistake or offend the immortal gate or a big figure with a background, the immortal gate only needs to send a crane boy to come and revoke the pardon of the spirit god. In this case, the spirit god will collapse instantly.

Even the spirits can't do it!

This mountain temple in front of us is like this.

The spirit god has fallen, and the incense is no longer there. Gradually, it has been abandoned. However, it has not been abandoned for a long time. It is located near the official road, and there are no people in front and behind. If you miss the head of the hotel, you can come to this mountain temple to rest for a night.

Especially like now, it is drizzling.

Even if you want to rush at night, it is impossible.

There was a bonfire in the mountain temple.

Cheng's father and daughter and Nie Wushuang sat by the bonfire. Under the eaves on the side, there were several horses tied. At this time, some were standing and sleeping soundly, and some were snoring.

One person and two horses, with luggage on the horse's back.

Although Hexi County is the territory of the Sword-Asking Sect, the Sword-Asking Sect is not in the county town, but in a more remote place. Changlin County is between the county town and the Sword-Asking Sect. It is very close to the county town. It only takes a day's journey on a fast horse. The Sword-Asking Sect is a little far away from Changlin County.

Even if one person and two horses travel day and night without stopping, it will take three or four days.

Of course, Nie Wushuang and his men could not travel day and night. Even if they were running for their lives, they dared not do so. If the horses were injured on the road, it would be even more troublesome.

More haste, less speed.

So, after the rain, they did not continue to run at night, but came to the mountain temple to rest and wait until the rain stopped and the day broke before leaving.

The Cheng family father and daughter had walked this road several times, and they knew that the Mountain God Temple was not far from the Sword-Asking Sect. If they set out tomorrow morning, they would definitely arrive after dark.

The Cui family did not react that quickly.

Even if they wanted to hunt them down, even if they knew they had gone to the Sword-Asking Sect, it would take time from knowing this to leading the people to set out, and it would be impossible for them to arrive so quickly.

Cheng Nanpeng dozed by the campfire.

He could not drink on horseback, and he was addicted to alcohol. He drank a pot of wine after sitting down, and now he had fallen asleep while drunk.

Senior Sister Cheng Lijun was different.

At this time, she was sitting cross-legged and practicing.

The three levels have been completed, and the only thing left is to turn the internal energy into liquid. Although this level requires resources and special elixirs, it is not impossible to pass this level without resources. If there is no resource support, then go by yourself. Cheng Lijun is full of confidence in this.

Even if he fails, he will not be upset.

He can be said to be unyielding.

Nie Wushuang is a little bored.

There is no such thing as sleepiness.

Yesterday, he absorbed a little more energy from the shadow space. Now, his internal energy has turned into liquid and he has become a strong man in the Zhoutian Qihai realm.

In just three or four days, his realm has surpassed that of senior sister Cheng Lijun.

Seeing Cheng Lijun practicing so hard, Nie Wushuang has an idea, that is, to assist Cheng Lijun in passing the level. The energy in the shadow space can also be infused into Cheng Lijun. At the same time, he can also use his divine thoughts to make up for her understanding, change her bones, and create a genius and gorgeous freak.

It should be quite interesting!

As a junior brother, I just need to hide under the skirt of the senior sister!

Suddenly, Nie Wushuang frowned.

In front of him, Cheng Nanpeng's snoring suddenly stopped, and Cheng Lijun, who was sitting cross-legged and meditating, suddenly fell to the ground and lost consciousness.

The bonfire was still burning, but it emitted a faint blue light.

In the mountain temple, the temperature dropped sharply, and a cold and terrifying atmosphere spread.

Outside the door, a white shadow flashed.
