While Gu Zheng went to cultivate gloomily, the square in the village of Foggy Wind Island was still crowded. The islanders had not dispersed. They gathered together in groups, discussing the delicious food today and the changes on Foggy Wind Island since Gu Zheng's arrival.
"I really didn't expect him to be our young master," a man who looked like a peasant said emotionally.
A man who looked like a farmer said with emotion. Then, he asked the man beside him, "Old Huang, I heard that the Young Master has done a lot of things during this period of time on the island. What did he do?"
"Old Cheng, you didn't just come out of the mountains today, did you? Don't you know what the young master has done for us? "
The man called Old Huang stared at Old Cheng with wide eyes.
"I did come out of the mountains today. I was going to the village to buy something, but I was seen by the disciples of the Tianxin Sect, so they asked me to stay and participate in this meeting."
Old Cheng scratched his head with a simple and honest look on his face. He was the man Gu Zheng had met when he first came to Foggy Wind Island with Yang Zhenling and the Yang family's younger sister to pick Foggy Wind Apricots on the mountain.
"Is that so? Then it's not strange that you don't know! "
Old Huang paused and then said, "By the way, didn't anyone inform your family to come over and speed up the ripening of the immortal food?"
"No! Maybe we've been living in seclusion in the mountains for many years, so very few people know us. Other than the sect master, no one in the Tianxin Sect knows where our family lives. The sect master must be busy, so he probably forgot about this matter! "
Old Cheng was also depressed. If he had known that Gu Zheng, the person who had saved his mother's life, was their young master, he would have invited him to his house a long time ago.
"Alright, then I'll tell you what the young master has done since he came to the island!"
Old Huang told him about Gu Zheng saving people, farming, and some small things that Old Cheng didn't know about.
After listening to Old Huang's story, Old Cheng fell silent. He thought of Gu Zheng standing on the high platform and speaking, and suddenly felt that he was even more imposing.
"Son, Little Brother Gu is my savior. If you meet him again in the future, you must think of a way to repay his kindness!"
After sending off Gu Zheng and the others that day, his old mother's tearful words once again rang in Old Cheng's mind.
"Repay? Repay me? "
Old Cheng muttered to himself. He could not imagine how a farmer like him could repay the kindness.
"Old Cheng? Old Cheng, what happened to you? "
Seeing that Old Cheng was a little absent-minded, Old Huang reached out and waved his hand in front of his eyes, pulling him back to reality.
"My family is indebted to Young Master as well!"
After Old Cheng told Old Huang about how Gu Zheng had saved his mother, he said again, "My mother asked me to repay him. Only now do I know that he's the young master. His kindness to us is really something that we can't repay in our entire lives! Tell me, how can I repay him? "
Old Huang patted Old Cheng's shoulder. "Forget it. I'm thinking of the young master's kindness. Just do as he says. As for repaying him, the young master is an immortal! He doesn't care about what we have. Besides, he's our young master. What we have is also his! "
Old Huang's comfort made Old Cheng's eyes light up. Then, he muttered, "Immortal? Don't immortals need people to worship them? I know what to do! "
"You know what to do?"
Old Huang looked at Old Cheng, who was muttering to himself, and asked curiously.
"I want to build a temple for the young master and put a statue of him in it to worship him! Don't all immortals have temples? Why doesn't the young master have one? "Old Cheng said excitedly.
Old Huang's eyes also lit up. "That's right! What's the use of the Turtle Immortal that our Sea Immortal Temple worships? When the angry man came to our Foggy Wind Island, the so-called Turtle Immortal didn't come to save us! In the end, the young master subdued the angry man and asked him to protect our Foggy Wind Island! Why does the Turtle Immortal have a temple and enjoy our worship, but it doesn't exist? The young master has done so much for us, but he doesn't have a temple? "
"Yes, you're right!"
"Why does the Turtle Immortal enjoy our worship, but the young master doesn't?"
"Build a temple for the young master. Count me in!"
"Count me in too!"
There was also a group of people beside Old Huang and Old Cheng. After these people heard the conversation between Old Huang and Old Cheng, they all looked very excited.
"Don't worry. Let me ask the young master about this matter. I don't know if he's willing to do this!"
The first elder happened to be nearby. He paused and then said, "Wait here. I'll ask the young master's opinion. I'll give you an answer soon."
The first elder left, but the decision to build a temple for Gu Zheng was like a whirlwind that quickly swept the people in the square. They all looked very excited and happy that they had found something to do for Gu Zheng.
Gu Zheng, who was originally a little gloomy, was overjoyed after hearing the First Elder's report. This was truly a case of being at the end of the rope, a glimmer of hope at one's darkest hour!
"First elder, who came up with this idea?"
Suppressing the excitement in his heart, Gu Zheng really wanted to know who the person who had made him wait for a long time was. He wanted to take good care of him in the future.
"Replying to Young Master, this person is called Old Cheng. He said that you once treated his mother's' Blood Demon Disease '. He has always wanted to repay you, but he didn't know what to do. Just now, when he was talking about you, he suddenly had this idea."
"Old Cheng!"
Gu Zheng shook his head and smiled. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Who would have thought that the man he met deep in the mountains when he first came to Foggy Wind Island would be the key person for this mission?
"How is it? Didn't I say that you're very lucky? Look, an accidental rescue actually gave us an opportunity to make a breakthrough in this mission. This is really a super valuable rescue! "The artifact spirit said smugly.
"Pfft!"
Gu Zheng rolled his eyes at the weapon spirit. "When I saved Old Cheng's mother, I don't know who it was that forced me to do this mission. Fortunately, Meow Meow knows how to cure the 'Blood Evil Disease'. Otherwise, without that help, Old Cheng wouldn't have the idea he has now."
"I asked you to do this mission because I have no right to treat your illness! Do you think I'm making things difficult for you? "
The weapon spirit was a little angry and looked very wronged.
"Okay, today is a festive day. You can't take a joke, right? If you can't take a joke, then it's really disappointing, "Gu Zheng said pitifully.
"Who said I can't take a joke?"
Looking at Gu Zheng's fawning eyes, the grievance on the weapon spirit's face disappeared.
"Young master? Do you want them to build a temple? "The first elder asked.
The communication between Gu Zheng and the weapon spirit was in their minds. Even the fawning look in Gu Zheng's eyes was seen by the weapon spirit. As for Gu Zheng, in the eyes of the first elder, he was just in a daze for a while after shaking his head with a smile.
"This is their kind intention, and I'll accept it!" Gu Zheng said with a smile.
There was strength in numbers. Building a temple for Gu Zheng could be said to be a major event for the whole village.
It only took three days for a magnificent temple to appear in the village square.
The temple was very big, but the only god it worshiped was Gu Zheng.
The statue in the main hall was ten feet tall. Even Gu Zheng felt that it was seventy percent similar to him when he saw it. Therefore, he was very satisfied.
As for the name of the temple, the people of the Heaven's Will Faction gave a few names, such as: Young Master Temple, Sea King Temple, Ende Temple, Heaven's Will Temple, Ancient Immortal Temple, etc.
In the end, Gu Zheng chose one of the names given by the Heaven's Will Faction. The three big words engraved on the outside of the temple were: Ancient Immortal Temple.
The Ancient Immortal Temple had been built. Every day, after the islanders ripened the Immortal Food, they would spontaneously go to the temple and worship Gu Zheng's statue like a god.
Four days later, the voice of the weapon spirit sounded in Gu Zheng's mind, "With the Ancient Immortal Temple, the pure power of faith can be collected very quickly! There are a total of 2,463 people on Foggy Wind Island. Before the Ancient Immortal Temple was built, you collected a total of 1,212 portions of pure power of faith. In these four days, the pure power of faith has increased to 2,125 portions! As for the remaining people, although they haven't produced pure power of faith, they already have the heart of faith. According to my estimate, under the influence of the fanatical people, you should be able to collect all the pure power of faith on Foggy Wind Island in five or six days at most! At that time, even if there is still some impure power of faith, there will be very little left. "
"That's right! With the Ancient Immortal Temple, everything will be very fast. "Gu Zheng said with a smile.
"Young Master!"
Great Elder's voice suddenly sounded outside the door.
"What's the matter?" Gu Zheng asked.
"A group of monks from Sanskrit Temple, led by Wu Wei's master Yuan Kong, they broke through the island's protection immortal formation and are now on the island." Great Elder said.
Gu Zheng walked out of the room with a cold smile on his face, "What will come will still come! Let's go and meet them. "
Yuan Kong was monk Wu Wei's master, this person was very protective! When Sanskrit Temple's people came to Foggy Wind Island to investigate monk Wu Wei's whereabouts, he just happened to be in seclusion, so he couldn't come with them.
After arriving at Foggy Wind Island, although Yuan Kong's group didn't attack anyone, they weren't polite at all to Heaven's Will Sect. In the eyes of Sanskrit Temple's monks, Wuwei had died on Foggy Wind Island, he had died at the hands of Heaven's Will Sect. They were already very polite by not attacking anyone! If they found evidence that Wu Wei died in the hands of Heaven Will Sect, then they will definitely make Heaven Will Sect give them an explanation.
Yuan Kong brought a total of eighteen people this time, he divided the eighteen monks into three groups to look for Yuan Kong's whereabouts.
Wu Wei was Yuan Kong's disciple, when he fought with the angry man, he displayed some extraordinary blood. This was because Yuan Kong used a Buddhist secret technique to purify his blood.
In Yuan Kong's eyes, if Wu Wei died on Foggy Wind Island, then more or less some blood should have been shed. Even if the blood he shed was already taken care of by others, he still had a way to find it.
Monk Wuwei's Purifying Blood came from Yuan Kong. Yuan Kong had given Monk Wuwei's Purifying Blood Dharma Artifact to two other groups of monks.
The monks used their inner strength to activate the magic tools and searched Foggy Wind Island. As long as Wu Wei Monk shed blood within five meters of the magic tool holder, the magic tool would shine.
As long as they found the place where Wu Wei Monk shed blood, Yuan Kong had a way to recreate the scene where he shed blood and find the fierce beast that killed Wu Wei Monk.
When Gu Zheng followed the Grand Elder out, a group of monks entered Ancient Immortal Temple.
"What are you doing here?"
They had seen Sanskrit Temple's monks before, so now, when they saw that they actually came to the ancient immortal temple, all of them frowning in disdain, Chen Laoshi who was in charge of managing the temple shouted out.
At this time, most of the islanders were cultivating immortal food, so these monks didn't see many people on the way. Naturally, they didn't know that the master of Foggy Wind Island had returned!
However, even if they knew that the master of Foggy Wind Island had returned, they wouldn't be afraid. After all, Yuan Kong's cultivation was already at mid-stage Void Return before he went into seclusion. Now, Yuan Kong, who came out of seclusion, had successfully advanced to late-stage Void Return. In their eyes, there was nothing that Yuan Kong couldn't handle.
In fact, the monks cultivated Buddhism, they had something that was equivalent to a cultivator's ball of immortal power, called a 'bodhi seed', which existed in the sea of consciousness. They also had the name of their cultivation, but compared to cultivators, Yuan Kong's cultivation was equivalent to late-stage Void Return. The energy they called 'elemental power' in their bodies was actually immortal power, it was just a different name.
"What are we doing here? We're here to find evidence that you killed my Senior Brother Wu Wei! "A monk sneered.
"Nonsense, this is our Immortal Temple, get out of here!"
As soon as Chen Laoshi finished speaking, he wanted to chase the monks away. However, he was just an ordinary person, after all. He couldn't move a group of monks who were all at Stage Five Internal Strength.
"Benefactor, let me ask you, who is the person worshipped here?" The leader, Monk Wu Wang, asked.
"This is our young master, the master of Foggy Wind Island!" Chen Laoshi said proudly.
"Young master? The master of Foggy Wind Island? Since when did Foggy Wind Island have a master? "
"Look at the statue, it looks very young! So young, could it be a swindler who came to fool the islanders? "
"I think it's most likely a swindler. After all, the islanders here haven't come into contact with the outside world, they should be very easy to fool."
The group of monks all talked at once. Regardless of whether they had any ill intentions, they were at least looking down on Chen Laoshi by badmouthing his young master.
Although Chen Laoshi was honest, he was also angry! These monks could talk bad about him, but they couldn't talk bad about his young master. His young master was sacred and inviolable!
"Get out of here!"
The furious Chen Laoshi raised the broom in his hand and was about to hit the monks.
"Unruly people!"
A monk flicked his sleeve and Chen Laoshi was pushed back a few steps, crashing into the incense table where the offerings were placed.
The crisp sound of porcelain shattering could be heard as two of the plates holding the offerings fell off the incense table, shattering into pieces.
"You bald donkeys!"
Chen Laoshi grabbed the porcelain shards on the ground and threw them at the monks.
Originally, the monks didn't want to take action. Even the monk who was fiddling with Chen Laoshi didn't use much strength. Otherwise, how could Chen Laoshi have the strength to curse?
However, monks hated it when people scolded them bald donkeys. Chen Laoshi's scolding had touched their reverse scale!
"Amitabha!"
Monk Wu Wang chanted a Buddhist proclamation and with a flick of his sleeve, the porcelain shards that Chen Laoshi threw flew back.
"Ping Ping Ping Pang!"
The porcelain shards didn't hit Chen Laoshi's body as they were swept to the ground by a sudden whirlwind.
"Are monks also so vicious? If I didn't do anything, these porcelain shards would have crippled his limbs right? "
A woman's voice sounded from behind the monks. The person who came was Lian Yuxin who had received Gu Zheng's orders.
"Amitabha, this poor monk is already being merciful. Otherwise, these porcelain shards would have taken his life!" Monk Wu Wang frowned.
"Hehe."
Lian Yuxin laughed: "So this is what you mean by being merciful?"
"Chen Laoshi, how did this fruit offering plate break?" Lian Yuxin looked at Chen Laoshi.
"It's him!"
Chen Laoshi pointed at the monk who was fiddling with him: "He was the one who pushed me, causing me to crash into the incense table!"
"Very good."
Lian Yuxin smiled coldly and with a flick of her sleeve, the monk who was fiddling with Chen Laoshi flew out of the temple like a kite with its string cut.
"Immortal cultivator!"
The group of monks exclaimed.
Although the monks couldn't tell Lian Yuxin's cultivation level from her appearance, she had easily sent a late stage fifth level cultivator flying like a kite with a wave of her hand! Apart from immortal cultivators, no one else could do that.
The monks had already assumed an attacking posture. However, in front of an immortal cultivator, their so-called attack was a joke. Moreover, Lian Yuxin was a late-stage Void Return cultivator.
In the face of the monks' attack, Lian Yuxin waved her sleeve. She didn't want the building to be damaged, so she turned the so-called attack into nothingness! Then, she gently pushed out a palm at the monks. The monks instantly fell to the ground as though they had dozed off.
"Chen Laoshi, if you want to vent your anger, just beat them up. They won't wake up!"
Lian Yuxin instructed Chen Laoshi before walking out. She had to deal with the monk she had thrown out so that she could leave with peace of mind.
"You despicable bald donkeys!"
Lian Yuxin's lecture to the monks did not quell the anger in Chen Laoshi's heart. He picked up the broom and slapped it at Monk Wu Wang and the others.
Monk Yuan Kong's men had split into three groups. Lian Yuxin had taken care of one group while Gu Zheng had taken care of the other group. He had also found out what Monk Yuan Kong was going to do by searching his soul.
"Weapon Spirit, can that bastard Yuan Kong really use blood to cast a spell to reenact the scene from back then?" Gu Zheng asked.
"Yes, this spell is a Buddhist secret technique. Not only can he reenact the scene before a person's death, he can also use it to cast the 'Catoptric Deflection' spell to reenact the events before and after a certain period of time," said the weapon spirit.
"Is there a way to stop this spell without anyone knowing?" Gu Zheng asked again.
Gu Zheng did not want to kill Monk Yuan Kong. After all, Buddhism was a righteous sect. In this era, they had to contribute to the world. However, before and after Monk Wu Wei's death, he must not let the other party know through the 'Catoptric Deflection' spell. Otherwise, it would be a very troublesome matter.
"I don't have any other ideas on my side. If I did, I would have asked you to get rid of the little tail after Monk Wu Wei's death that day."
The weapon spirit paused and then said, "There is a way that is not really a way. That is, you can take away the magic tool he used to cast the spell or destroy it."
Gu Zheng thought for a moment and said, "It seems that I can only use this method that is not really a way. Even so, although the other party has no direct evidence, they will be more certain that Monk Wu Wei's death has something to do with me! After all, if I take action to destroy his magic tool, it means that I admit to this matter. "
"Why don't you complain first?! Taking away his magic tool is just a lesson to them for being good at Foggy Wind Island. If I take away their magic tool, I have a way to destroy the traces left behind by Monk Wu Wei. Even if they take back their magic tool in the future, they won't be able to use it to cast the 'Catoptric Deflection' spell again, "said the weapon spirit with a smirk.
Gu Zheng nodded and decided to use this shameless method. He then flew towards the sea.
"Sect Leader!"
Gu Zheng had just flown up when Lian Yuxin's sound transmission sounded in his mind.
"Monk Yuan Kong is now at the sea. He wants to cast a spell to reproduce the scene of that day," Gu Zheng said to Lian Yuxin, who was still far away.
Gu Zheng did not hide what happened at the sea from Lian Yuxin.
"Cast a spell to reproduce the scene of that day? Is it the 'Catoptric Deflection' spell of Buddhism? "Lian Yuxin asked.
"Yes, it is. Do you have a way to break it?"
Gu Zheng's eyes lit up. Judging from the tone of Lian Yuxin's sound transmission, she seemed to know how to break the 'Catoptric Deflection' spell.
"Sect Leader, since you don't want this secret technique to succeed, then leave this matter to me! When the time comes, you just have to make Yuan Kong busy with other things, and I have a way to do it without anyone noticing. Then, everything that should disappear will disappear, "Lian Yuxin said with a smile.
"Okay!"
Gu Zheng answered. He was overjoyed. He did not expect Lian Yuxin to have a way to deal with the 'Catoptric Deflection' spell. This would save him the trouble of being a scoundrel.
"Sect Leader, I won't go to the sea with you. I'll do it in secret," Lian Yuxin said.
Gu Zheng nodded and flew to the sea alone.
Yuan Kong had already found the place where Monk Wuwei's head was bitten off by the angry man. He was casting a spell to reproduce the scene of yesterday.
"Master, someone is flying over!"
Yuan Kong's disciple exclaimed. Someone who could fly was definitely an immortal cultivator.
In fact, Yuan Kong had already noticed that someone was flying over. He had already turned around and looked at the person in the air with a frown.
"Amitabha. Who are you, sir?"
Monk Yuan Kong spoke. His voice was as loud as a bell. Even though Gu Zheng was still some distance away, he could still feel the voice exploding in his ears.
If Gu Zheng was just an ordinary cultivator in the early stage of the Soul Formation realm, Monk Yuan Kong's roar alone would be enough to make him lose his mind and fall from the sky.
Gu Zheng's body didn't even sway. This caused Monk Yuan Kong's already frowning brows to furrow even more.
"Who is this person? He has such a cultivation at such a young age? Could he be someone from the Primeval Age? He should be! Apart from the Primeval Age, where else could cultivate such a talent? "Monk Yuan Kong thought to himself.
