Chapter 302: Goddess Temple Priest The goddess has an unparalleled grace and every frown and smile of hers is filled with the utmost gentleness. This is a woman as gentle as water. No one will fail to feel good about her once they meet her. Jiang Lin was fine, after all, he was surrounded by beauties from the Three Realms, and compared with the goddess in front of him, each had their own merits. The only one who could crush Jiang Lin's aesthetic taste was Hou Tu Huang Di Ji, whom he had met once. That was the real beauty that belonged only to mythology. Jiang Lin thought to himself, gathered his mind, shook his body, and revealed his true form. The black Taoist robe unique to the Black Law Division stunned the goddess for a moment. "Jiang Xuanying, the fourth-rank mage of the Black Law Division, greets the Goddess of Mount Hua." Jiang Lin bowed. Originally, the Goddess of Mount Hua, as the assistant official of the mountain god of Mount Hua, was of the fifth rank, a whole rank lower than Jiang Lin. Logically speaking, it should be the other party who should pay respect first. But you have to know that some things in the world are unreasonable. If someone else were the Goddess of Mount Hua, it would naturally be said this way, but who made the current Goddess of Mount Hua Yang Chan?
Whether it is because of Yang Jian's relationship or from Liu Yunxiu's perspective, this person is Jiang Lin's senior. And even in terms of status in heaven, she is a princess... "It turned out to be Master Jiang in person." Yang Chan was stunned for a moment, then bowed and said, "Mount Huashan Zuoer God, Yang Chan, greets Shangguan." Jiang Lin smiled bitterly and said, "Goddess, please don't embarrass me." "Hehehe..." Yang Chan smiled softly and said, "I have heard the name of the mage from my brother more than once, and he praised the mage a lot." "Please come in and have some tea." After saying that, he raised his hand and waved. I saw a chaotic hole blooming above the shrine enshrining the statue of the goddess of Mount Hua, and there was a small world inside. Every god in the world has such a small world. After all, no matter how close to the people a god or immortal is, it is impossible for him to show up in public. Jiang Lin followed Yang Chan into the small world belonging to the Huashan Goddess Temple. This small world is worthy of the name of a small word. It only has a small house with the name of "Ya". But there is no luxury at all, instead there is an exquisite garden in the backyard. Jiang Lin even saw the red spider lilies that were unique to both sides of the Yellow Springs Road. "My brother found this. He asked the two ghost emperors of Taozhi Mountain to open a hole in the underworld so that these flowers can grow here." Yang Chan noticed Jiang Lin's surprise and explained with a smile. Jiang Lin: “…” It’s just like you, it’s just like you.
In order to decorate the girl's garden, I actually found the head of the Five Ghost Emperors. "Mage, please." At this time, Yang Chan had placed two cups of tea in the pavilion next to the garden. Jiang Lin walked over and sat opposite Yang Chan. After looking around, he asked, "Goddess, don't you have a few maids to serve you?" "I am used to doing things myself. When I am at home, I am also in charge of my brother's daily life." Yang Chan smiled and said, "Master, please try it. This is the tea leaves that I roasted myself." Jiang Lin nodded, took a sip, and exclaimed: "Good tea." Yang Chan stared at him and said with a strange look on her face: "Master...it's actually not good to taste it, right?" "Cough cough..." Jiang Lin put down his teacup and said, "Let's talk business." "it is good." Yang Chan held back her laughter, put down the teacup in her hand, raised her hand and waved it, and the tea leaves turned into clear water. Jiang Lin asked seriously, "What's the matter with that scholar named Liu Yanchang?" As he spoke, Jiang Lin stared at Yang Chan and said, "Goddess, could it be that you really have feelings for him?" He now wanted to make sure whether he was being separated by force or being protected by someone else. But no matter whether it is the former or the latter, Liu Yanchang will definitely not have a good ending. Hearing this, Yang Chan smiled indifferently and said, "What if there is affection? What if there is no affection?" Jiang Lin raised his eyes, stroked the teacup in his hand, and said, "I have also heard about the past events between the Goddess and the True Lord." "Mr. Yang Tianyou is a gentleman who sacrificed his life to save his wife and children because he knew very well that only if he died could you live. This has nothing to do with anything else but the tacit understanding between him and the Great Heavenly Venerable." "In other words, his heroic sacrifice made the Great Celestial Master recognize this brother-in-law." Yang Chan lowered her eyes and said nothing. Jiang Lin's few short words evoked the memories buried deep in Yang Chan's heart. In the past, in front of Yang’s house. That not-so-broad back, and the smile was as gentle and kind as usual. "My son, I am powerless as a father, but this life of yours has some weight." "I am a humble mortal with a lowly body and a lowly life. It is a great honor for me to be favored by your mother. Now, I can only repay you with my life." "I will give you back your mother's twenty years of care and companionship, and I will also give you a healthy and happy future." ………… Yang Chan lowered her eyes, tears seemed to flash in her eyes, and Jiang Lin's voice rang in her ears.
"I don't know what the goddess thinks, but..." Jiang Lin raised his eyes and said solemnly: "If the goddess really thinks that Liu Yanchang is a great man like Mr. Yang who can be trusted with everything, I have nothing to say. But as for the True Lord, we need to ask Liu Yanchang to win the True Lord's approval, just like Mr. Yang did in the past." Yang Chan came back to her senses from her memories and looked up at Jiang Lin in front of her. He shook his head slightly and said, "Sorry, just now... I was just joking." As she spoke, Yang Chan stood up and said, "I thought this was just a small matter, but I was helpless because my brother made a fuss about it and even invited a magician..." In Yang Chan's opinion, this was really not a big deal, and she had no so-called feelings for Liu Yanchang. He's just a crazy person. There won't be any intersection between us anyway. Just let him be. Everything will be fine sooner or later. Yang Chan is an immortal god. He has had supernatural powers since childhood, so his mentality is naturally different from that of ordinary mortals. No matter how crazy Liu Yanchang was, after a few years, at most a dozen or twenty years, he would have forgotten what he should have forgotten. But in Yang Chan's eyes, this period of time was just a blink of an eye. Jiang Lin frowned when he heard this. Yang Chan’s mentality was correct, and her approach was also correct. If Liu Yanchang was just a simple mortal... But now it seems that Yang Jian is obviously not making a fuss, there is definitely something hidden behind this. "Please, goddess, tell me the whole story in detail." Jiang Lin said solemnly, "There is something behind this, I don't know it now, I just know that the True Lord has some reservations and can't take action directly." "As for Liu Yanchang, I used my Purple Star Eye to observe his true soul and spirit, searching for his past eighteen lives, but found nothing." "Either this guy is just a trigger, or..." Yang Chan was stunned when she heard this. Either there really was a big secret behind this. After figuring it out, Yang Chan put away her original helpless feelings towards her brother. In fact, it’s not Yang Chan’s fault that she can’t see clearly. The truth is, she has experienced too many such “making a mountain out of a molehill” things in her life. In the eyes of her brother, no matter what is related to Yang Chan, it is not a small matter. Yang Chan started her spiritual practice very late, after Yang Jian successfully split the mountain to save his mother. This was because Yang Jian had prepared for the worst at that time. Even if he died and was suppressed by his uncle, the Emperor of Heaven, then the Great Heavenly Venerable might allow Yang Chan to continue living because she was still a mortal. After Yang Jian succeeded, in order to lay a solid foundation for Yang Chan's cultivation, he even bowed his head to the Great Heavenly Venerable and begged his uncle, the Heavenly Emperor, to personally guide Yang Chan. However, who this guide is has little influence on the future path of the cultivator. But Yang Jian still asked for help from the Great Heavenly Venerable because it meant the best. There are countless things like this. Yang Jian always tries his best to give the best to Yang Chan. Yang Chan thought that this time would be the same as usual, it was just her brother's usual style of doing things.
But now that he had met Jiang Lin, the Black Law Mage who had become famous in recent years and the great leader of the new generation of Taoism, he realized that things were not as he thought. I was being targeted and used to set up a trap. It’s hard to say who exactly this is directed at. Yang Chan took a deep breath, calmed her thoughts, looked at Jiang Lin and said, "Actually, it's a very simple story." She began to tell how she "met" Liu Yanchang. It's really simple. It was just that Yang Chan had just arrived at Huashan at that time. In order to gain a foothold here and for a better Huashan in the future, he chose to show his prowess in front of others. This is the proper process. Which orthodox immortal or god doesn’t have some miracles? If you don't let the people see something real, who will care whether you are a god or an immortal? If you want the people's worship and faith, you have to do something practical for them. Only the immortals and gods who are believed in by the people of an area are good immortals and gods. Yang Chan followed suit and did the same thing. "There is a nest of earth dragons under Mount Hua. They are good monsters who practice cultivation. Although they don't have the ways of the spirits, they never hurt anyone." Yang Chan said softly, "But later, this group of earth dragons were bewitched by evil spirits and fell into evil ways. They often moved the earth's power, disturbed the people with their earth dragons turning over, and devoured the people who fell into the cracks in the ground." "Of course I won't ignore it. Besides, I need to show off my reputation as the Goddess of Mount Hua, so this is a win-win situation." "So, I took action and wiped out that nest of earth dragons. The process was seen by many people." "Then, I was going to follow the map and strangle the evil culprit, but when I found the trace, I found that the evil force called Chengxin Ruyi Pavilion had been completely wiped out." Jiang Lin listened quietly, nodding from time to time. His old friend really had a wide circle of friends, and he could see all of them there. But it will probably be gone in the future. "It was during the time when we were exterminating the earth dragon that Liu Yanchang saw me." "At first I didn't take it seriously. I just thought he was an ordinary citizen who was shocked for a moment after seeing a god." "But later, Liu Yanchang lingered in the Goddess Temple every day, and stayed there for more than half a year." "He is said to be sincere, but he never burns incense. He is said to be insincere, but he comes to guard the Goddess Temple every day regardless of rain or shine..." "Someone advised him to burn some incense, but he said, 'I'm looking for the real Huashan Goddess, not this cold statue.'" “He also said that if he burns incense, he will be a believer, which is not what he wants.” "In the eyes of my followers, these words are obviously presumptuous and blasphemous, but because of his status as a juren, ordinary people dare not say much." "Just pretend there's no such person." Jiang Lin listened carefully and asked, "Did the goddess do anything afterwards?"
"Have." Yang Chan nodded more helplessly and said, "I once gave him an idea, telling him to leave and not linger here." "But not only did he not listen, he also thought that I was moved by my infatuation, and he became even more aggressive since then..." "Since that day, he has become even more aggressive. He not only guards the Goddess Temple, but also... keeps talking about me..." "It has been until now. The Master has also seen it. If it weren't for what the Master said, I'm afraid Liu Yanchang would not leave for a while." After listening to Yang Chan's story, Jiang Lin couldn't help but scratch his chin with a strange look on his face. This story can basically be summarized as: lustful, unyielding, shameless, and the main point is that good girls are afraid of clinging to men. And he had a good calculation. The Huashan Goddess Temple was right here. Yang Chan could really run away, but she couldn't run away from the temple... "Did he write anything in the Temple of the Goddess?" Jiang Lin said thoughtfully: "For example... marrying Changle back to serve the king?" "Mage..." Yang Chan glanced at Jiang Lin in a reproachful manner and said, "No matter what, Jie and Zhou were also human kings. How can they be compared to a mere scholar? Moreover, how can the mage use the Holy Mother Nuwa as an example?" Jiang Lin blinked. To be honest, this Liu Yanchang approach was somewhat similar to what King Zhou did back then. Thinking in his heart, he said: "At least in the next few days, I believe that Liu Yanchang will not come again." “Even if he comes again in the future, I guess no believers will care about his identity and let him do whatever he wants.” Hearing this, Yang Chan immediately realized what Jiang Lin had done, and simply asked, "Master, is it a bit... against the rules to do this?" Being a deity in heaven, he colluded with the powerful in the human world and even tortured a mortal, which was indeed against the rules. Not to mention, Jiang Lin himself is a fairy god directly under the law enforcement department of heaven. Normally, Jiang Lin would not do this, but this time it is different. The current head of Heaven has given the order personally, so Jiang Lin can do whatever he wants. In that case, why should Jiang Lin be restrained? Seeing the smile on Jiang Lin's lips, Yang Chan also understood what was going on. I guess my brother prepared everything in advance... "What will the Master do next? I will cooperate." Yang Chan gathered her thoughts and asked seriously. Jiang Lin thought for a moment, stood up, and said with a smile: "I have nothing, but I have a big appetite. I am shamelessly asking for a job at the Goddess Temple so that I can earn some money and food to fill my stomach." Yang Chan was stunned when she heard this, and then smiled and said, "This little temple of mine is also very lucky to have a fourth-rank black law mage come to apply for a job." "The Goddess Temple is still short of a temple priest. I didn't want to set one up, but now that the mage is here, would you please take care of it?" "So, very good." Jiang Lin nodded and responded with a smile.
………… The incense at the Goddess Temple has become much more popular. Now that it is almost the end of the year, there are many people coming to burn incense, and now there are even more. However, a considerable number of these new ones are young ladies from the vicinity of Mount Huashan. The customs of the Great Zhou were open-minded, and unmarried ladies were still allowed to stay at home, but it was rare for them to come to the temple to burn incense. And it’s as if they have made an appointment. Those who live nearby come almost every day and never get tired of it. I don't know what attracted these young ladies, but they attracted many rich young men and scholars. When people saw them, they thought, wow, these rich and learned people came to burn incense, so this temple of the goddess must be very effective. This attracted more people. When there were more people, the young ladies had to wait longer to burn incense, so they came more frequently and earlier. When the young masters and scholars saw this, they also came more frequently and earlier. When the common people saw this, they also... A perfect virtuous cycle. As for the beginning of this cycle... A very handsome priest came to the Goddess Temple and became the hottest topic among the young ladies from wealthy families around Mount Hua during this period. And with Princess Jiang Wang, whose fiefdom was Mount Hua, using her painting skills that even the emperor admired, she captured the figure of the temple priest on paper, and after it was circulated, it became unstoppable. At this time, Princess Jiang Wang said, "My pen cannot depict even one percent of the grace and beauty of the temple priest." With this sentence, more young girls and wives came to the Goddess Temple, wanting to see for themselves how graceful the temple priest was. "My dear believer, I have told you many times that your marriage is not ready yet. You have to wait until you are eighteen years old for signs to appear. It is useless to tell you more now." Jiang Lin put down the lottery box helplessly and looked at the girl in front of him who was wearing luxurious clothes and was obviously dressed up carefully. And as soon as he saw the other person's almond eyes full of spring and his snow-white cheeks dyed red, he knew that he didn't listen to what he said at all... (End of this chapter)
