Chapter 233 Master... We can't do anything illegal!
When Li Jun's divine sense followed that connection, traversing endless distances, and arrived at a quiet room...
He was completely stunned.
An altar? A statue of a deity?
Or is it still his appearance?
So all those prayers we heard before came from here?
At this moment, Li Jun had a dark expression on his face.
He said that he had been hearing people talking inexplicably while sleeping at night, and it turned out that it was the old Taoist priest Qingxu who was behind it!
At the same time, as he listened to the conversation between Qingxu Laodao and Gu Changqing, he gradually came to understand some things.
The Nanyang God War that shocked the world, and that golden-armored god general, are probably both related to him.
Although he didn't do it on his own initiative, it's definitely related to the fish talisman.
That golden-armored general must be one of the eight hundred heroic spirits within the fish-shaped talisman.
At this moment, Li Jun's feelings were very complicated.
It seems the fish-shaped talisman... is also a problematic magical artifact!
at the same time.
In the quiet room, when the old Taoist Qingxu heard Gu Changqing's stammering words, he was first stunned, and then his face was full of doubt.
It's a miracle?
Did Master Li manifest his power?
He worships Master Li here every day and there have never been any strange phenomena. Why did a miracle suddenly occur today?
The old Taoist priest Qingxu subconsciously turned his head.
The next second, he shuddered, and the prayer beads in his hand fell to the ground with a "clatter".
He saw it!
He saw that handsome, ethereal figure calmly looking at him.
Those eyes, seemingly ordinary, seemed to contain the great principles of heaven and earth, able to see through people's hearts at a glance.
"Master Li... Master Li!"
The old Taoist priest Qingxu's legs went weak, and he was about to kneel down on the spot.
But just as his knees were about to bend, an invisible force gently supported him, preventing him from kneeling down no matter what.
Li Jun looked at the old Taoist Qingxu, outwardly remaining calm and maintaining his superior demeanor, but inwardly he was furiously criticizing him.
That old man, he really knows how to cause trouble.
Erecting a statue, setting up an offering table, making such a big fuss—anyone who didn't know better would think he'd died.
However, despite his complaints, he couldn't really blame Master Qingxu.
The old Taoist Qingxu was not young, and he was also Jin Hao's benefactor and the junior brother of the Qingwei Sect Leader. It was neither reasonable nor sentimental for him to be harsh on him.
A thousand thoughts raced through Li Jun's mind, but his face remained calm and inscrutable.
He nodded slightly and said in a calm tone:
"You two are very thoughtful."
Upon hearing this, both Master Qingxu and Gu Changqing were flattered and overwhelmed.
Then, Li Jun looked at the statue on the altar, his brow furrowing almost imperceptibly, and continued speaking:
"From now on, there is no need to worship my idol."
"I don't follow that path."
The old Taoist Qingxu was taken aback, and was about to ask a question when he heard Li Jun's voice rang out again:
"Many strange things happen in Southeast Asia. The golden-armored general once protected this place and did a great service."
"If you are so inclined, you may erect a statue of the Golden Armored General and receive incense offerings from this place; that will be enough."
After speaking, Li Jun did not wait for Qingxu Laodao and Gu Changqing to react. With a thought, he withdrew his divine sense.
He didn't want to stay here forever, being worshipped by people.
As the divine sense withdrew, the illusory image in the quiet room slowly dissipated.
On the altar, the lifelike statue instantly turned into a handful of dust.
At this moment, Qingxu the old Taoist and Gu Changqing stared at the empty altar and the scattered dust, unable to come back to their senses for a long time.
That scene just now felt like a dream.
Master Li... he actually descended upon us?!
Such methods are simply unbelievable!
After a moment, Gu Changqing swallowed hard, looked at the old Taoist Qingxu, and murmured blankly:
"Senior brother, what was the meaning behind Master Li's words just now?"
He simply couldn't understand why that supreme being was unwilling to accept offerings.
The system has matched you with the urban fiction category. Click to view details.
The old Taoist priest Qingxu was initially puzzled, and frowned as he pondered for a moment.
Suddenly, his eyes lit up, and he slapped his thigh:
"I understand! The Taoist priest has come personally to give us instructions!"
Gu Changqing was taken aback upon hearing this.
instruct?
How come he didn't hear any instructions?
"Senior brother, the Taoist priest only said that we shouldn't worship him, but that we should worship the Golden Armored General..."
Gu Changqing looked puzzled.
"madness!"
Before he could finish speaking, the old Taoist priest Qingxu interrupted him:
"Who exactly is Master Li?"
"Even if a huge mess were to happen in this tiny place called Southeast Asia, even if the entire Buddhist community were to come out in force, it wouldn't be worthy of Master Li's personal intervention, much less the Master's time and energy to receive these trivial incense offerings and prayers!"
Gu Changqing was stunned upon hearing this. After thinking about it carefully, he realized that it made perfect sense.
The old Taoist priest Qingxu continued:
"The Golden Armored General is originally a heroic spirit under the Taoist priest's command. If there is any more trouble in Southeast Asia in the future, we can worship the Golden Armored General and directly ask him to manifest his power, subdue demons, and protect our Taoist temple!"
"It won't disturb Master Li's peaceful cultivation, and it can also solve the troubles in Southeast Asia—a win-win situation!"
Upon hearing this, Gu Changqing suddenly realized the key point.
This directly eliminates the middleman!
It wasn't that Master Li was unwilling to protect them, but rather that their trivial matter was not worth bothering him.
After figuring out the whole story, Gu Changqing's awe for Li Jun increased even more, and he was also deeply impressed by Qingxu Laodao's comprehension.
He immediately bowed deeply to the old Taoist Qingxu and sincerely praised him, saying, "Senior Brother, your realm is profound and your insight is like a torch. I, your junior brother, am far inferior! I have learned a great deal!"
The old Taoist priest waved his hand, looking at the empty altar with eyes full of awe:
"It's not that I have exceptional insight, but that the Taoist priest has considered everything thoroughly and arranged everything for us long ago."
"From this moment forward, devote all efforts to forging a statue of the Golden Armored Divine General and enshrining it in the temple!"
"Yes!" Gu Changqing replied respectfully.
At this moment, the last trace of worry in his heart completely dissipated.
With Master Li's protection and the Golden Armored General's support, let alone a single Buddhist sect, even if many other forces come, they have the confidence to defend their Nanyang Buddhist center!
……
Qingfeng Temple.
Li Jun withdrew his divine sense, slowly opened his eyes, and let out a long breath.
I will never hear those prayers for no reason again.
As for having the old Taoist priest Qingxu worship the Golden Armored Divine General...
Li Jun didn't think too much about it.
The spirits in the fish-shaped talisman fought for the country a thousand years ago and protected peace in Southeast Asia before. It's no big deal for them to receive some incense offerings.
"A problem has been solved."
Li Jun stood up and stretched.
Now, he is more concerned about flying on a sword.
However, just as he was preparing to take action...
"Jun'er, you've finished your seclusion? Come out and see, this old Taoist has found you a little apprentice!"
From the courtyard came the master's excited voice.
Li Jun: "???"
Little apprentice?
Li Jun scratched his head, pushed open the door, and went out.
The scene in the courtyard stunned him instantly.
The master sat by the stone table, his face beaming with joy, looking at the person in front of him with doting eyes.
A little girl wearing a gold dress, with her hair in double buns, and a delicate, fair face that looked only three or four years old, was squatting by the wall, teasing the gourd vine.
Hearing the noise, the little girl raised her head, her big golden eyes looking at Li Jun. Then, she toddled over with her short legs and knelt down on the ground with a thud.
"master."
Li Jun: "..."
He glanced at the little girl, then at his smiling master beside him.
An outrageous thought flashed through my mind in an instant.
"Master..."
"We can't do anything illegal!"
