In the suburbs of Qushui City, in a private courtyard near the airport.

There is an offering table placed in the middle of the main room.

On the altar table, paper rolls were held up by bamboo poles, standing like flags.

On those scrolls, there are depicted Taoist priests wearing robes and various Taoist crowns, as well as some green-faced and fanged gods.

The paper rolls go upward layer by layer,

On the topmost scroll,

Depicts a purple-robed Taoist.

That person was Lin Lingsu, who was from the Shenxiao sect in the Northern Song Dynasty, and was the ‘head of the world’.

This person is notorious in the official history. Song Huizong lost his country because of his indulgence in Taoism under the auspices of Lin Lingsu. In the official history, this person is regarded as a "treacherous minister".

but,

After all, he is also the founder of the Shenxiao Sect. Even though he has a bad reputation in official history, the Shenxiao Sect cannot deny this founder.

Under ‘Lin Lingsu’,

There are also many portraits of Taoists from the Shenxiao Sect,

There are also some guardian gods who are said to protect Taoist priests, all listed on the forest-like scroll.

Under layers of paper rolls,

There is also a piece of altar wood, a vermilion pen, a box of cinnabar, a stack of yellow paper, a fly whisk, and a demon-conquering knife arranged on the altar table.

These items were all from when Su Wu left Yuzhu Temple in Qushui.

It was a gift from Wei Suhe, the abbot of the Taoist temple.

They are all necessary instruments and items for setting up an incense altar.

However, these items are not the original magic tools on the "Five Thunder Altar" in the Sanqing Hall of Yuzhu Temple, but various self-made magic tools in the Taoist temple, specially issued to the disciples who teach in the Taoist temple.

Although Su Wu was not ‘delivered’ in Yuzhu Temple,

But at any rate, I was able to obtain the true fifth-grade "Sun Palace Scarlet Pill Master Ritual".

Under the current increasingly loose Taoist etiquette, he can naturally be recognized as a Taoist disciple.

Therefore, after obtaining these "magic weapons" that are actually like toys, the biggest benefit of the trip to Yuzhu Temple is the "treasure basket" that is hidden between the heart chakra and the Tianguan chakra, and its effect cannot be seen for the time being.

The second biggest benefit,

It was Su Wu who obtained the qualification to ‘set up the altar’ at Yuzhu Temple.

From now on, you can set up the ‘Five Thunder Altar’ anytime and anywhere.

——This is what Wei Suhe, the abbot of the Taoist temple, made clear to the founder by burning incense in front of the Five Thunder Altar!

Although it is unknown to the Patriarch whether such memorials and incense burning can really reach ‘directly to heaven’s hearing’, it is still not certain, but at least it has gone through this process.

Su Wu stood in front of the altar,

He dipped his pen into red ink mixed with cinnabar and slowly wrote a spell on the yellow paper.

He tried to use his mind to communicate with his own 'Sun Palace Red Pill Master', and at the same time, he recalled the inexplicable feeling he felt when he looked at the 'Invitation Talisman' that 'asked the Patriarch to come down to enlightenment' after the conferment.

charm,

Trying to reproduce it,

It is consistent with the treasure given by oneself.

——At present, the Taoist inheritance of Yuzhu Temple has been cut off. Wei Suhe doesn’t know how to draw talismans to invite gods. He can only provide some information about the Taoist inheritance, including many talismans, but how to study these inheritances in depth, Wei Suhe

But I don’t know anything about it,

Su Wu could only explore on his own.

Rustle, rustle...

The ink pen outlines some inexplicable lines on the yellow talisman,

Relying on his super memory, Su Wu accurately sketched the 'divine invitation talisman', picked it up with a peach wood sword, lit it on the incense candles on both sides, and let the burning yellow talisman fall into the altar on the altar table.

In the incense burner.

At this time, he formed the seal of worship, pointed his sword finger at the center of his eyebrows, and said in a deep voice: "Please, the Patriarch, come down to enlighten this sword. Please come down, the Patriarch, to enlighten this sword!"

After reciting three times in a row, Su Wu raised his head and pointed his sword finger at the 'Thunder Strike Peach Wood Sword' displayed on the altar!

Incense burns,

The yellow talisman burned to ashes.

Smoke curls up.

Su Wu didn't feel the slightest abnormal change here - the situation was completely different from the various reactions he had when he watched the old Taoist Xuan Zhao draw talismans and recite mantras.

This time he failed to ‘draw a talisman to invite the truth’...

Frowning, Su Wuyou didn't believe in evil.

After pondering carefully for a while,

Su Wu started to try again.

…

After trying this for more than an hour, all the yellow talismans on the Five Thunder Altar were exhausted.

The lightning strike mahogany sword on the table remains unchanged,

There is no feeling at all of being enlightened by the ‘ancestor’.

The inheritance had been cut off for too long, and Su Wu didn't expect that he would be able to master the key after a few experiments and truly invite the ancestor to enlighten the lightning-struck peach wood sword on the altar.

Therefore, even if he failed many times, he was not discouraged.

I immediately prepared some more yellow talismans and was about to start a new attempt.

At this time,

Yun Nishang walked out of the living room on the east side, put the suitcase she was carrying into the trunk of the car in the yard, then stood at the door of the main room and knocked softly on the open door.

Tuk-tuk-tuk!

The knock on the door disturbed Su Wu's thoughts. He turned around and frowned at Yun Nishang, who looked serious and still immersed in his own thoughts.

Yun Nishang pursed her lips slightly and said softly: "It's almost time for the plane to leave.

If you don’t plan to go to Feilonghu Mountain today,

I can notify the airport so that they don't have to wait for us and adjust the flight path.

It will be the same if you rest here for a day and leave tomorrow morning."

"Is it almost time?"

Su Wu asked, and before Yun Nishang could answer anything, he began to take off the scrolls on the altar from the wooden poles, rolled them into scrolls, and put in a brocade made of bamboo and covered with a layer of cloth.

box,

Then he put away various ‘magic weapons’.

Put that ‘Thunder Strike Peach Wood Sword’ together with the other twelve Thunder Strike Peach Wood Swords,

Everything is gathered into the shadow world.

"Let's go, let's go!"

Su Wu waved his hand.

Yun Nishang raised the corners of her lips, shook her head slightly, pointed to the room on the west side, and said, "Where are your belongings? Don't you need to pack them up?"

"It's necessary." Su Wu had been immersed in studying the talisman for too long. He only reacted after Yun Nishang's reminder. He hurried to his bedroom and put the notebook on the table into the suitcase that he had already packed.

Inside,

He pulled his suitcase and walked out.

Put everything in the car,

He sat in the back seat and closed his eyes slightly.

Yun Nishang skillfully drove the black off-road vehicle out of Duyuan and headed for Qushui City's dedicated airport.

The Independent Courtyard was the temporary residence arranged by the Weird Countermeasures Department for Su and Wu. After they left, the people from the Countermeasures Department would naturally clean up the house, but there was no need for the two of them to lock the door.

…

The plane landed slowly on the runway,

After sliding for a while, it finally came to a complete stop.

Su Wu and Yun Nichang got off the plane according to the flight attendant's instructions, and picked up their luggage at the airport reception hall. After leaving the airport, someone drove a car and handed the keys to Yun Nichang.

"Go directly to Longhu Mountain?"
