Chapter 132: Star-Picking Tower and the Divine Worship Method
Chapter 132: Star-Picking Tower and the Divine Worship Method
There are two kinds of stations in the Grand Canal.
One type was built by the imperial court and was under the management of various provincial governments; the other type was built by a sect.
However, these two types of post stations have nothing to do with ordinary people.
The former was used by the court to transmit official documents and for officials to stay overnight while the latter was used by the sect for its own purposes, such as transmitting letters and so on.
Not long after joining the school, Li Yuan sent letters and silver bills back through the post station. The round trip took nearly three months, which was an impressive speed.
"My second brother's handwriting is not as good as mine."
Inside the room, Li Yuan opened the package, glanced at it, picked up the letter and opened it.
Li Lin was of course literate, but he had been chopping wood for many years and had neglected his writing, so his handwriting was very illegible. However, between the lines, one could feel his concern and longing.
In the letter, Li Lin talked about the changes in Gaoliu County after he left, the business of the blacksmith shop, and his own family matters.
With the care of the city guards and the county magistrate Liu Bin, both the business of the weapon forging shop and the Li family are thriving.
Especially after the news that he had become the true disciple of Shenbing Valley was passed back, it caused a sensation.
"Lord Zhou of the City Guard, Lord Liu of the County Magistrate, all the families from the inner and outer cities came to congratulate me. I didn't want to accept them, but your sister-in-law said she wanted to accept them, and she made a list and sent it to you..."
"Oh, right, people from nearby counties and even the prefecture have come, including Bai Junzun..."
……
Li Lin wrote over ten sheets of letter paper filled with his words, and also included the names of all the gift givers, dozens of them in total.
"Second sister-in-law is really a scene person."
Although not much was mentioned in the letter, Li Yuan could also see the shadow of his second sister-in-law.
Whether it is the business of the weapon forging shop or accepting gifts, etc., Wang Juan is in charge of it.
"I had originally thought of returning home after receiving the letter and bringing my second brother and the others to the capital, but now..."
Li Yuan put the letter away and opened the second one. The handwriting on this letter was very beautiful, obviously written by his second sister-in-law.
Compared to the second brother's letter, this one was much more organized, listing all the major and minor events in Gaoliu City, as well as the attitudes of various forces.
Finally, there is a tone of warning:
"The last half of the paper is all about women sent to your second brother! In just a few days, at least dozens of people came to send...
You should be careful in the capital city. You have a bright future ahead of you. Don’t rush to marry a wife or take a concubine…”
"With my second sister-in-law here, my second brother should be able to stay stable."
Li Yuan felt a little relieved.
He knew without even thinking that once the news of his becoming the true successor spread, there would be a large number of people showing goodwill and compliments to him.
He was a little worried that his second brother wouldn't be able to control himself.
Li Yuan continued to read, and when he reached the end, his expression suddenly changed.
"Oh, by the way, Master Wang from the Weapon Forging Shop is back. He also wrote a letter and gave me a few books..."
"Wang Wenyuan!"
Li Yuan's eyes narrowed.
During this period of time, the more he explored things about the method of worshiping gods, the more he feared Master Wang.
He couldn't find the 'doctrine of worship' mentioned in the books he had casually given him before in the outer building of the library.
"Wang Wenyuan is still in Gaoliu? He even asked someone to send me a letter..."
Li Yuan frowned and opened the package. Sure enough, he saw three books and a letter at the bottom.
It was written on the envelope: From Li Yuan himself.
"Wang Wenyuan."
Li Yuan took out his gold-wire gloves and put them on before carefully opening the letter.
“This is a letter of recommendation.”
The first sentence that caught his eye made Li Yuan slightly stunned.
Letter of recommendation?
"Star Reaching Tower?!"
Li Yuan was slightly surprised.
He first knew about Zhaixing Tower when he read a book given to him by Wang Wenyuan, which mentioned a peerless magic skill called 'Ten Thousand Beasts Sitting and Forgetting, Dragon Demon Heart Sutra'.
Later, the unknown swordsman who forced him to forge the Autumn Water Sword also mentioned it.
During this period, he read many books and searched for a lot of information, and he also learned something about the Zhaixing Tower.
"Is Wang Wenyuan from Zhaixing Tower, a killer?"
The Zhaixing Tower is a killer organization, different from the famous forces in Daozhou such as the Jueming Tower and the Cuiming Tower.
The Zhaixing Tower has a long history, but it is very small.
It was inherited from the 'Ten Thousand Beasts Taoist' more than 1,500 years ago. The number of core killers will not exceed 108.
At the least, there were only a dozen people.
But the reputation of Zhaixing Tower is very big!
"Legend has it that Pang Wenlong, the founder of Dayun, died in an assassination attempt at Zhaixing Tower..."
Li Yuan felt a little chill in his heart.
Just thinking about the fact that there was a killer lurking around in the dark made his scalp tingle.
"Two dragons in one family, the Feng Shui of the Li family seems to be good."
The words on the letter were round and restrained, but Li Yuan felt as if the tip of a sword was pressed against his forehead.
"Two dragon forms? Yes, big brother Li Yue? Big brother also has a dragon-shaped bone structure?!"
Li Yuan was more and more surprised, and when the topic changed, he became even more nervous:
"Li Yue is the ninth person I recommended, and you are the tenth."
Big brother actually joined the Zhaixing Tower...
Li Yuan felt a little numb.
The reputation of Zhaixing Tower is naturally better than that of the Evil God Cult. It never harms the local area or brings harm to the people.
But they assassinated the king!
"Grandmaster Pang Wenlong, Emperor Wen Pang Yunhai, Mu, Ming, Rui, Kang..."
Li Yuan counted with his fingers and found that at least nineteen emperors of the Dayun Dynasty had been assassinated, and six of them were successful!
In addition, there were also many elders and leaders of major sects in various states who had been assassinated.
The reputation is slightly better, but only slightly better.
Having made too many enemies, the killers of Zhaixing Tower were wanted by everyone in the imperial court and the underworld. Once discovered, their entire family would be exterminated.
"The boss is a traitor..."
Li Yuan continued to read on with a wooden face, and then he read about the various benefits of joining Zhaixing Tower.
He said all kinds of things like great medicines, magical weapons, peerless martial arts, etc.
Li Yuan was really tempted by the things listed above, such as magical weapons, martial arts, and powerful medicines.
"I'm alive to earn it, but I can't spend it!" He shook his head repeatedly just thinking about it. He always stayed away from this kind of industry that required him to work hard on his own.
but……
"The boss actually has a dragon-shaped root bone?"
Li Yuan had a solemn expression. He had few memories of the boss, only that he was serious.
"Great dragon-shaped bones, there are many sects in the world that can't add them, why do we have to join the Star-Picking Tower?"
Li Yuan felt a little annoyed, but he continued to read. Fortunately, at the end, Wang Wenyuan left some room for discussion.
"If you don't care, just burn it. If you do, take this letter and someone will come to look for you soon..."
"Those three books are gifts from me. They are not martial arts, but the teachings of the God Worship Method, as well as the introductory secrets of the God Worship Method."
“It is the true Dharma!”
Wang Wenyuan emphasized his tone.
"The Evil God Cult and the three major sects are already enough, plus the Star Picking Tower..."
Rubbing his eyebrows, Li Yuan felt that the water in Zhelong Mansion was much deeper than he expected.
"Could it be related to the Sea-Splitting Black Whale Hammer?"
This thought emerged in Li Yuan's mind, and he shook his head subconsciously, but he felt that it was not impossible.
The friction between the three major sects and the Divine Weapon Valley has been going on for a long time, but the Evil God Cult took the initiative to come to them.
Plus this Star-Picking Tower.
A killer organization that assassinated the king and made many enemies can't possibly want to seize the Zhelong Mansion, right?
"It's not impossible! It's very likely!"
Li Yuan felt nervous. Even if this possibility was small, it could not be ignored.
"I have to combine five fifth-order hammers with overlapping talents as soon as possible, and I also have to find a way to reach the fire vein at the end of the Red Rong Cave..."
After being absent-minded for a long time, Li Yuan gritted his teeth and took out the three books from under the package.
"The Scriptures of the God Worshipping Religion, the Unofficial History of the God Worshipping Religion, and the Introduction to the God Worshipping Method."
Li Yuan finally got what he had been looking for for a long time, but he felt heavy in his heart. He flipped through the book woodenly for a while before his expression looked better.
There are many doctrines in the Theobaldism religion, and this booklet alone lists thousands of them.
Li Yuan flipped through it and found nothing wrong with these teachings. Although they did not guide people to be good, they were not evil at all.
The whole article is talking about the same thing.
That is, to regard oneself as God is righteous, and to regard God as God is evil. If used in a righteous way, it is righteous; if used in an evil way, it is evil.
"Take yourself as a god, see your true nature, clean your house, and strengthen your body, so you can prolong your life and live forever..."
Li Yuan calmed himself down, and the word "eternal life" made him suppress all distracting thoughts.
Li Yuan took a deep breath and continued to look through the pages.
The second book is about the legend of the God-worshipping cult, and a large part of it mentions the evil god cult.
To deify oneself requires extraordinary talent and a superior character. This is the right path.
But the vast majority of people in this world do not possess such innate qualities, and therefore, evil ways came into being.
It is difficult to regard oneself as a god, but it is easy to regard God as a god.
Ever since the first worshipper gained amazing power from bloody rituals, this path has completely overwhelmed the orthodox way of worshipping gods.
"Thousand-eyed Bodhisattva, the residual spirit, the four Vajras of blood, flesh, tendons and bones, the five great monasteries of the heart, liver, spleen, lungs and kidneys..."
The unofficial history of the God-Bearing Church is really wild.
Over the past thousands of years, countless people have practiced the art of worshipping gods, and even more gods have been worshipped.
Both the righteous gods canonized by the Dayun Dynasty and the unrecognized wild gods have been worshipped and ceremonies have been held for them.
"Due to the different gods being worshipped, there are many different ways to worship gods, and the Blood Vajra worship method is one of them."
Li Yuan flipped through it briefly and felt that his eyes were opened.
It is not clear whether these stories are true or not, but what they reveal makes him look sideways.
For example, the Blood Vajra Worship Method.
It is unknown who first created this method, but seven hundred years ago, a man mastered it to perfection.
His energy and blood were like the ocean, crossing a ten-mile-long river. His strength alone was equal to that of thousands of soldiers, and he once shocked the world.
"It's not true or not, it's really a bluff."
Li Yuan read it for a while, and only when his mind was completely calm did he put this unofficial history aside.
Picked up the third book.
"Introduction to the God Worship Method."
After opening it, there was a warning from Wang Wenyuan.
“Although the righteous way of worshipping gods is the righteous way, if one lacks innate talent and understanding, it is very easy to go astray.
You are not as talented as Li Yue, and after Li Yue cultivated this method to the fifth level, he could no longer continue, so he had to switch to the Dragon Demon Heart Sutra..."
Li Yuan took a glance.
Even without Wang Wenyuan's warning, he was curious and fearful about the method of worshiping gods. He didn't dare to learn it unless he understood it clearly.
only……
"Can the boss's talent compare to mine? Well, he's definitely better than me..."
Li Yuan knew what was going on.
"Human power is limited, but the universe is infinite. Take the infinity of the universe to make up for your own limitations, and worship yourself as a god. This is the way to immortality!"
At the beginning, the person who wrote about this method praised it highly, calling it the best magical skill in the world throughout the ages.
Well, many martial arts say this.
Li Yuan was not surprised and read it word by word. As he read, he saw the sky turning white.
"Good stuff, it's good stuff."
After closing the secret book of worshiping gods, Li Yuan's heart was beating fast. Just from this opening, Li Yuan could be sure.
"This martial art is of a higher grade than the Bingdao Dousha Hammer, but it is also very dangerous to learn it..."
Li Yuan touched his head.
The first step in practicing the correct method of worshipping gods is to allow blood and energy to enter the brain, and the second step is to allow strength to enter the brain.
This……
"It's so dangerous, no wonder so few people are amending the law."
Li Yuan was also a little scared.
If blood and qi enter the brain, it will explode if things go wrong...
