"Oh? Look!"
"Has the Divine General been invited?"
"No, it's still that strongman from before."
A somewhat disappointed sigh came from behind.
"Did our little Taoist priest fail again?"
"Keep your voice down! Don't let the little Taoist priest hear you, he'll be unhappy."
"That's right, did you see him fail just now? His little face was drooping, he was angry."
The old woman sitting cross-legged looked at the high platform with great affection, "Looking at him like this, our little Taoist priest is still just a child."
"Oh! Look, look! Our little Taoist priest's face is drooping again!"
Xu Chengxian: "…"
Sometimes, I still hope I could be a little scarier, at least not become a demon general and still be regarded as a child by a group of ordinary old men and women.
And in this moment, these people were already concerned about whether the White Maiden would come out to comfort him.
They even speculated that the White Maiden raised him, so he became the Maiden's protector.
In the past half month, several versions of the story of the Snake Immortal Maiden picking up a human child and raising him have spread in Songjia Village.
They have even made up stories about whether he was picked up from the river or rescued from the fire.
Some said that his family suffered a disaster, and the Maiden rescued him.
The Maiden, who had not yet cultivated into human form, suffered a lot with a child. Then, in order to repay her kindness, he had to learn a skill to protect the Maiden.
Good snakes have good rewards. They met a highly skilled expert, although the expert originally wanted to capture the Maiden, he later took them back to the mountain.
Since then, the Snake Immortal Maiden has become the guardian beast of the mountain, and he followed the expert to cultivate Taoism until now.
The reason for coming out of the mountain this time is to help the Maiden achieve enlightenment and to temper his Dao heart.
…I have to say, although the story is simple, it is very complete, and everyone accepts it very well.
Master Zhang had already asked Xu Chengxian indirectly if he had ever heard him call the White Maiden "Mother" at the beginning.
The grace of saving a life is equivalent to re-creation, so calling her "Mother" is reasonable.
It is also reasonable for the mother to appear and comfort her son when he is frustrated.
"The Maiden has a good heart!"
"Our Maiden knows how to raise children!"
"Look at that calico cat, it's raised so well!"
"She also raised a spirit rat, I heard it doesn't steal food, it's so clever!"
Is the gentle being they are talking about really my Xiao Cui?
However, it must be right to say that Xiao Cui knows how to raise children.
Although she hasn't raised them much, she has contributed a few bird eggs at most, and they were stolen, but her children are very promising.
Including him.
"I'm just too promising, okay?"
I even got the position of a true god for my own mother.
A person as promising as this must not be stuck by a little difficulty.
He had already figured out what to do next.
"Song Jue."
He put the lottery stick back into the lottery tube and called out to the bottom, "Come forward."
"Also, those of you who hold the Maiden's token in your hands, please come forward as well."
After saying that, he waited for everyone to come forward.
Zhang Wan'er stood up immediately.
During this period, he suddenly had a thought and used his divine sense to pay attention to what Xiao Cui was doing.
It would have been better if he hadn't looked, he almost laughed out of anger.
I saw Bai Xiaocui in the backyard holding a writing brush, eating snacks while drawing on a piece of paper.
And on that piece of paper, a short, fat snake with a big head was drawn!
The scales on the snake's body were specially painted in different shades of black.
It goes without saying who it was drawing.
The snake had a pair of big eyes with tears in the corners.
The words were written on it: Big Zai Crying .jpg
"…Heh."
Xu Chengxian was amused.
Good fellow, he can't accept anything else, but his Xiao Cui's understanding is really high.
He had only sent a few emoticons to the other party through his divine sense, and they had already learned to make their own!
Seemingly aware of his divine sense, Bai Xiaocui tried to cover up the drawing and rolled it up.
Xu Chengxian immediately threw a few emoticons of twisting white snakes over, come on, let's hurt each other.
Who's afraid of who!
At this time, Song Jue and others also arrived nearby.
They saluted him and said, "Immortal Master."
Song Fangwu took the lead and asked, "I wonder why the Immortal Master has summoned us here?"
"Yes."
Xu Chengxian smiled and said, "Good thing."
"Are you willing to pray to the White Maiden to bestow protective divine light to fight for her?"
This sentence was addressed to Song Fangwu and the people behind him.
Among them were seven or eight strong men from Songjia Village, as well as a few young men and women from various villages.
And to Song Jue, he said: "Are you willing to become the temple guardian of the White Maiden Temple?"
"Also, ask your two Yin spirit friends if they are willing to be divine generals in the temple."
Upon hearing this, Song Fangwu's expression was still calm, but the other young people's expressions changed.
The joy on their faces solidified, replaced by a bit of panic.
Yin spirit friends?
Ghosts!
But suddenly they thought that they would soon have divine light to protect them, and there was an Immortal Master in front of them, so they barely stabilized their minds.
"I am willing."
Song Jue said happily without hesitation, "They are willing too."
He had known for a long time that the haunting of the Zhang residence could not be hidden from the little Taoist priest, but he did not expect such a result.
Becoming a temple guardian might allow him to cultivate with the Taoist priest, and his Yin spirit friends would also have a place to stay—becoming a divine general is much better than being a lonely ghost!
"Good!"
Xu Chengxian nodded.
…
Strands of light, like divine power, floated out from the statue.
As the divine power slowly descended from the statue, the entire space seemed to be enveloped by an invisible force, and the air became heavy and solemn.
This force seemed gentle but could not be resisted.
It gently stroked the top of everyone's head, and then, with a certain sternness, proclaimed the inviolability of the Heavenly Dao.
The two Yin spirits, a male and a female, were both in the appearance of young boys and girls.
Under the illumination of this divine power, their figures gradually became clear and solidified.
The fear and anxiety on their faces due to appearing in broad daylight gradually dissipated in this sacred light, replaced by joy and elation.
Divine power merged into their soul bodies, forming a protective divine light on top of their soul bodies.
The milky white divine light instantly diluted the Yin energy.
"Come!"
The girl raised her hand as if enlightened.
A long spear gradually appeared in her hand.
At the same time, a set of armor formed by divine light was slowly taking shape on her body.
"Come!"
The boy's eyes lit up and he shouted.
His weapon was a long saber.
The two Yin spirits transformed into divine generals exuding a pure aura!
Exclamations rose and fell in the crowd below.
The sound of chanting the White Maiden's divine name suddenly buzzed.
Zhang Wan'er, Song Fangwu, and others, who were also showered with divine light, felt power in the divine light, as if countless tiny points of light were falling.
It seemed that a celestial sound was echoing in their ears, making people feel refreshed and filled with an unprecedented abundance and fullness in body and mind.
A layer of faint light also emerged from their bodies.
Divine light protects the body!
A faint fragrance permeated the air.
It seemed to be the fragrance of divine power, both fresh and rich.
"What smells so good?"
"It's the Maiden's blessing! Quickly smell more of it!"
The people below couldn't help but take a deep breath, wanting to absorb this mysterious aura into their hearts and lungs, so that their bodies and minds could be purified and nourished.
"…Well, it smells a bit like incense," Xu Chengxian also sniffed and thought.
…
After a while.
On the official road.
Two sides confronted each other, as if two armies were fighting.
The side with fewer people.
At the front was a female general.
Her face was calm, and she raised the broadsword in her hand.
She shouted:
"Kill!"
