Chapter 1923: Spirit Talisman

sisters both looked a little downcast.The two sisters looked at each other, and the elder sister, Wang Shi, spoke: “Thank you, Daoist Master, but after some deliberation, my sister and I have decided...The mothers of the three girls drank the spirit water, regained their energy, and came up to help.

Mother is busier than her daughters.

She first removed the weeds her daughters had stuffed in their clothes, revealing their bodies. Then she took water to wash away the dirt from their faces and necks, smoothed their hair, and patted dust off their clothes, tidying them up as best she could.

"Back when I was at home, things were always clean and tidy. I've never been this messy before. The world is just too chaotic, there's no other way for me... It can't be helped that the young girl likes to be clean. It's my fault, I'm useless. I apologize to you all. I brought you into this world and couldn't protect you..."

Mother muttered to herself, as if explaining something to someone. As she spoke, tears began to well up in her eyes.

>

Three young girls were all rather pretty and quick-witted. They didn't need their mother to explicitly say what she wanted; they understood her intentions right away. They worked diligently, their eyes red from crying, showcasing their efficiency and diligence.

Ordinary people can't see the Land God. In their eyes, only Qin Sang stands there.

He calmed his mind and without saying anything about refusing, he tightly gripped the jade pendant in his hand. A white light flashed on his body, revealing his true form, but only the mother and daughter could see it.

"Oh!"

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Three young girls and their mother were suddenly startled to see an old man beside Qin Sang.

However, thinking that Qin Sang was a fairy, and another fairy came, there's nothing strange about it.

The land gazed at his mother, seeing through her thoughts like a mirror. He coughed and said, "Don't daydream, Master Dao is an extraordinary celestial being with vast magical powers. He has seen countless outstanding individuals! The fact that you two have met Master Dao today and been reborn is already a blessing from your ancestors. You should be content."

The mother, her thoughts revealed, blushed and whispered, “My three daughters are all obedient and well-behaved. They know how to serve people and are quick with their hands. I see that the young immortal doesn't have any maidservants. Taking one away would be a good thing…”

>

The land sighed, shaking its head slightly. It wasn't her fault for dreaming; who wouldn't want to seek a connection with immortals if they saw them

Among these people, there are countless others who share the same thoughts as this mother.

"Fate is predetermined, whether it be fated or not. To vainly seek a fairy fate only leads to misfortune."

The land, feeling a surge of emotion, admonished with a point of its staff, "I am the guardian spirit of this land. Due to the great turmoil in the world, there has been no incense for a long time, and the temple has been neglected for many years. Seeing your mother's kind nature and that you are both well-educated, I wish to rebuild the shrine. It requires someone to manage daily affairs within the temple. Would you be willing to serve as temple priests"

"Yes! Of course, yes! Quickly go and see the Earth God!"

The mother's face was full of surprise, and she immediately wanted to pull her daughter to kneel and worship. She was stopped by the Land God.

“After Daozhang has finished distributing the dan shui, take this stone plaque and go to Dùzhī country to find a place to stay. The stone plaque is empowered by divine power and will protect you. When the stone plaque heats up, it will guide you to the temple…”

The man took out a palm-sized gray stone tablet. It was carved with his image, lifelike and vivid.

He had just obtained the jade pendant and felt a heavy burden weighing on him. He needed to take some time to think things through, to understand the situation clearly, before considering the matter of building a temple.

After that, more and more refugees arrived. Qin Sang and Xiao Wu stayed here for three days.

Many people drank the elixir and were reluctant to leave. Finally, seeing that there was no benefit and that the immortals had no intention of taking disciples, they set off for the Kingdom of Duezhi.

Three nights later.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

On the earthen path, figures grew increasingly sparse.

Xiaowu and three young girls had some free time, so they crouched in front of the stove, gazing at the stars in the sky and occasionally adding more firewood to the fire.

"Little fairy sister, look how bright that star is!"

The youngest little girl, whose nickname was Yinger, pointed at a star in the sky and said in a crisp voice.

The two older girls were more well-behaved and always treated Xiao Wu with a bit of awe, being careful in everything they did. On the other hand, Yin'er and Xiao Wu got along the best.

Qin Sang used an illusion on Xiao Wu, and after three days of constant companionship, they didn't realize Xiao Wu was blind.

The spectacle of three moons shining together came to an end in the latter half of that night, and the blood moon and dark moon disappeared somewhere. Now, only a full moon hangs high in the sky.

"My parents said that star is called the Moon God Star. If you worship the Moon God Star, the Moon God will give us a good man."

Although young, Yin'er was quite perceptive. A blush crept onto her small face as she suddenly asked, "Little fairy sister, will you get married in the future"

"Married"

Xiaowu hesitated. She had heard and seen so many stories, understood the meaning of marriage, but she had never thought about it for herself.

"No," she shook her head slightly, "why get married"

Can immortals not marry

Silver comforted Little Five, "Mama said that after getting married, you'll have someone to rely on, just like Father, who protects us."

Little Five shook his head and said, "I don't need others to protect me, my master will protect me."

For these three days, Yinger's father spoke very little. He remained silent, constantly gathering and carrying wood, using this method to numb himself. His wife also refused to speak to him.

'Slap!'

Upon hearing Yinger's words, the father who was huddled behind the firewood pile slapped himself hard. He covered his head with both hands.

When the mother heard the stifled sobs, her eyes clouded with a complex mix of emotions. She walked over and embraced her husband, and the two clung to each other, weeping uncontrollably.

The flames in the hearth crackled, but the daughters were oblivious.

Qin Sang sat on the ground nearby.

While Qin Sang was still around, he busied himself subduing those demons.

Some demons were defiant and unruly, so the land spirit used the jade pendant to make them suffer, teaching them a lesson. They then became obedient.

As for those who are difficult to deal with and possess an evil nature, they are just the right targets to eliminate and establish dominance.

Luo Hou and Zhu Que, having nothing to do, helped the land subdue the demons. In three days, they made these demons obey the land and line up in formation at a distance, waiting for orders.

“It finally arrived, after three days. The reaction is a bit slow.”

In meditation, Qin Sang suddenly opened his eyes, his gaze electric. He raised his head and gazed towards the direction of the Kingdom of Duzhi.

The land was initially a little confused, and soon felt two powerful breaths rapidly approaching. From afar, it saw two white rainbows flying through the night sky.

"The White Jade Escape Technique, it's a cultivator from the Konghe Pavilion," the Earth Spirit whispered.

He had previously mentioned those prestigious sects to Qin Sang, and the Konghe Sect was one of them.

Let me know if you have other text you'd like me to translate!

Kong He Xuan was the orthodox immortal sect of Duzhi country, originally renowned alongside Shou Long Mountain.

Kongshenxuan and the Shinto cooperated, taking the initiative to descend the mountain to protect the peace within their borders. Demons dared not invade, but Longshan ended up having to relocate its sect.

Qin Sang had long expected that as refugees entered the Dùzhī country, practitioners within Dùzhī country would learn of what was happening here and come to investigate.

'Whoosh! Whoosh!'

Two streaks of light flew from afar, stopping abruptly halfway. They had seen the group of demons in the distance.

After confirming that Qin Sang and the land were unharmed, he approached cautiously from above.

A man and a boy arrived, both dressed in Taoist robes. One rode on a white crane that was powerful and extraordinary, also a person of great Taoist cultivation.

The old man turned out to be a nascent Yuanshen cultivator.

The land recognized the old man's identity and was surprised. It hurriedly stepped forward and bowed, "Greetings to Master Su Xuan."

This person is actually the current master of Kong He Xuan!

"Are you the master of this land"

As Su Xuan's master and cultivation level, he originally didn't need to care about such a small piece of land. Still, he was meticulous and polite, bowing to Qin Sang with a serious expression.

"Who is this Daoist priest"

“Greetings, Master Su, my name is Qin Sang,”

>

Su Xuanzhu turned the name "Qingfeng Daochang" over and over in his mind, confirming that he had never heard of this person before. "Qingfeng Daochang must not be practicing nearby, right Forgive Su for being presumptuous, but I dare to ask, where is your fairyland"

Su Xuan had already seen the group of demons. Some of them weren't weak in cultivation, but they were all honest and well-behaved.

The land obviously lacked the strength to subdue this horde of demons.

A Taoist priest, whose cultivation was not weak, arrived here, so Kong Huixuan naturally wanted to ask about his intentions.

"As a wandering hermit, I have no fixed abode. I came from the East and traveled here. Seeing the hardship of the people, I casually refined a few mediocre pills in hopes that they wouldn't cause any trouble for Konghe Pavilion or fellow cultivators," Qin Sang said calmly.

"The Daoist's use of medicine to save people is an act of benevolence and righteousness, worthy of admiration. How could there be any inconvenience"

Su Xuan hesitated for a moment, then tentatively asked, "Daoist Master, you must also dislike those demons running rampant. Do you have any good strategies to exorcise them"

Qin Sang saw at a glance that Su Xuan's concern about exorcism was false, and he cared more about his intentions for coming here.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

"Demons are rampant everywhere. Even if there is a temporary period of peace, at nightfall, demons will come down from the mountains to wreak havoc at any time. Unless all factions work together, immortals enter the world, and join forces with the gods, otherwise, it is only treating the symptoms but not the root cause, and the situation cannot be changed. As a humble wandering Taoist priest, I can't come up with any good strategies. To tell you the truth, fellow Daoist Su, I came here to find something."

Qin Sang made no attempt to conceal his intentions, stating them plainly.

“Oh I wonder what you are looking for. If you are sure it is near the country of Duzhi, perhaps Su can offer some clues,” Su Xuan’s gaze flickered, he replied.

"The poor monk wishes to find an ancient formation, this one with three levels, upper, middle, and lower. The upper level is circular, the middle level has eight corners, and the lower level is square. Its design is ancient and simple, not something of this era. Most likely it has already been damaged, perhaps only its base remains..."

Qin Sang described the various characteristics of the Dharma Altar to Su Xuan.

Upon hearing this, Su Xuan pondered for a moment and shook his head. "Mr. Su has never heard of such a dharma altar. Since the Daoist priest says it is an ancient artifact, perhaps it has been buried deep underground through the ages."

Qin Sang showed a look of disappointment and said, “This poor Taoist loves thunder magic the most. Therefore, I have traveled all over the world, visiting fellow practitioners who are also skilled in thunder magic to discuss and learn from each other. If Master Su knows any such friends, could he introduce me to one or two”

Hearing this, the disciples standing behind Su Xuan moved slightly, glanced at their master's back, and remained silent.

Su Xuan then shook his head, "I'm afraid I will disappoint Daoist Master. The friends Su has made are not masters known for their thunder magic."

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Qin Sang sighed regretfully, "It seems that this poor Daoist can only search on his own. There may be some inconvenience in the future, please do not blame Lord Su."

“No problem! With Master Qingfeng here, the demons will surely be terrified. We are delighted to have you here. Master, if there's anything we can do to help, please send a message and I, Su, along with my disciples, will come to assist immediately.”

Su Xuan probed Qin Sang's intentions and exchanged some pleasantries. He didn't invite Qin Sang to visit the sect, but after a few more polite remarks, he found an excuse to leave.

Here's the translation:

The master and his disciple rode a crane into the sky, transforming into two white ribbons as they broke through the air.

Gazing at their receding lights, Qin Sang's eyes flickered. He called out to Xiao Wu, "Since we've taken care of things here, we should leave too."

Qin Sang gave the remaining pills to the landowner and, with Xiao Wu, climbed onto their horse.

That family and the land were very reluctant to part.

'Whew!'

The Qing Ma (a mythical horse) rose with demonic winds, soaring into the sky.

"Little fairy sister, goodbye! Be sure to come and see us again!" Yinger shouted loudly below.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Xiao Wu just waved his hand, making no promises. After all, there might not be another chance to come back.

Then Su Xuan, the master and his disciples, bid farewell to Qin Sang and rode a spirit crane back to Duzhi Kingdom.

The disciple had wanted to speak but held back, until they were almost at the border of the country of Duzhi, where it was certain their words couldn't be heard. Only then did they ask, "Master, wasn't that Taixia predecessor extremely proficient in thunder magic"

Su Xuan sat cross-legged on the back of a crane, his eyes half-closed, and said softly: "Do you want to introduce Taixiao Daoist friend and Qingfeng Daochang to each other"

"I remember you mentioned that Patriarch Taiyi once lamented the lack of like-minded individuals to discuss and practice Lei Fa with him. He felt that closed-door cultivation could not lead to the ultimate truth. This Qingfeng Daochang who travels widely seeking enlightenment must also be a master of Lei Fa, perhaps even the person Patriarch Taiyi has been looking for," the disciple said.

"You, my boy, still lack experience. Don't be fooled by appearances. Just because that Taoist priest gives out elixir water and helps the poor doesn't mean he is a good person. In this world, demons and monsters are cunning and deceitful. They often disguise themselves as righteous individuals."

Su Xuan, the master, sighed softly. "Daoist Taiyi has been in seclusion for many years, and only a few close friends like myself can see him. He never reveals his true form when dealing with demons. I once asked him the reason, but he evaded the question. There must be something unspoken. I'm afraid Daoist Taiyi may have provoked a powerful enemy and is hiding from them. What if that Taoist priest came seeking revenge If we directly take him to see Daoist Taiyi, wouldn't it be like inviting a wolf into the house"

He tirelessly explained the pros and cons, pointing out to his disciples.

The disciple then suddenly understood and shamefacedly said, "It was the disciple's rashness."

The border of the Duchy was in sight. Su Xuan, leading the way, said: "You go back first. This master will go to visit Taia Taoist friend. It's better if they are not enemies. Let Taia Taoist friend meet that Daoist himself."

As they spoke, the master and his disciple parted ways. Su Xuan, riding on a crane, flew south, passing through the border of Duchi Kingdom until he reached the southern frontier. He flew over Jing Kingdom to the south and continued for some time.

Along the way, Su Xuan cast spells periodically to check for any pursuers.

'Shriek!'

A spiritual crane descended from the heavens, letting out a loud cry.

Below are towering, continuous mountains. Among them, the green water is like a mirror, with green hills floating on the water, exceptionally enchanting.

“Is it Master Su Xuan who has arrived Why isn’t he at this time sitting in the Duzhi Kingdom, deterring demons and goblins, but has time to visit my humble abode”

From the mountains came a deep voice, and on top of a mountain peak appeared a white-clad elder.

The old man's expression and bearing both contained an ethereal charm, like a mythical being. He was smiling warmly at Su Xuanzhu.

"I encountered a strange thing, a Taoist..."

Su Xuan, the master, didn't beat around the bush and began to recount his previous experiences.

Unforeseenly, as soon as the elder heard the words "Law Altar," his face immediately changed, revealing an unprecedented urgency. "Law Altar What Law Altar is he looking for What kind of background does this person have"

Su Xuan, upon seeing this, realized that something was amiss. He opened his mouth as if to speak, but his expression suddenly changed. He stared at the old man's back, looking like he had seen a ghost.

Behind the old man stood Qin Sang.

The old man suddenly turned around, his palms crackling with lightning.

Qin Sang ignored him, sizing up the old man with a strange expression. "To be able to sense and communicate with talismans is rare indeed! You claim to be Taiyi... are you the Taiyi Lei Zhuan Fu or the Taiyi Lei Gang Fu"nted divine light reappeared here, shining upon them. Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!It is truly the wheel of karma turning, with retribution for unrighteous actions...
