Gu Qingshan looked at him: "First, it may not be me. Second, if I take charge, I can't let you destroy Taihua..."
Jiang Fan nodded: "To be honest, no one can tolerate the death of the Millennium Holy Land in the hands of their own generation. But Brother Gu, do you believe that history is like the Yangtze River? Even if there are twists and turns, it will always move forward without obstacles. Those who will eventually be eliminated..."
Gu Qingshan sighed softly and looked into the distance in silence.
Longhu Mountain is as powerful as a crouching dragon and a tiger. It has been a holy land of Taoism since ancient times. Its status was once no less than that of the Giant Buddha Mountain today.
The Tao of Heavenly Masters originated from here, flourished here, and now...has also declined here.
Speaking of which, 900 years ago, the Great Zhou Dynasty ruled the world. Due to their outstanding achievements in the Longhu Mountain Celestial Master Taoism, an old master even took over Taiyue and became one of the Five Elders. He was once the leader in the world's Taoism. In its heyday, there were tens of thousands of disciples in the inner sect alone, and their momentum was even overshadowed by the leader of the Taoist sect, Wuliang Dao Sect.
Unfortunately, it was already in decline five hundred years ago, and more than a hundred years ago, the world fell apart, Tianshi Tao suffered great changes, and the sect has since declined. Now there is only a large but deserted Taoist temple with not enough disciples. Hundreds of people.
The funniest thing is that the Celestial Master Tao, which originally practiced the Tao of Formation and was famous all over the world for its formation talismans, is now being used by many real and fake Taoist priests to ward off evil spirits and exorcise ghosts under the guise of Longhu Mountain.
If this generation had not produced an old Celestial Master who was only nearly ninety years old and had achieved cultivation, I am afraid that this sect would have either completely degenerated into a third-rate charlatan, or would have been buried in the weeds.
"This old man is amazing."
Gu Qingshan looked at the white-haired old Taoist priest holding a fly whisk on the bluestone steps and whispered.
Jiang Fan nodded, this is the contemporary Heavenly Master, Zhang Taichu.
He has heard some rumors about this person, but at most he knows that this person upholds the ancestor's ambition and supports Taiyue. He also cultivated the Heavenly Talisman, which no one has mastered since the ancestors, but he only became enlightened when he was eighty years old. Before the age of eighty, it is said that he was nothing. He sat on the top of the mountain all day long and didn't know what he was looking at.
The two people behind him are the only two remaining elders, namely Huide and Huipuzhen. There is indeed Huitong behind him. Jiang Fan heard from his uncle, but this person is said to have been in seclusion for twenty years. Who knows if he is still alive or not. But Huiming Xiaozhenren may have just made it up.
But at this moment, he couldn't go up to chat, probably because someone knocked on Tianshi Dao's door.
It is Ziyang Palace.
This Ziyang Palace is also one of the twelve sects of Taoism. Originally, there were two junior brothers under the founder of Tianshi Tao. Later, the two fell out, and the junior brothers ran out and established Ziyang Taoism, swearing that they were the Tianshi. Orthodox, authentic talismans.
At that time, Tianshi Dao was very powerful, and it had been claiming to the outside world that the so-called Ziyang Palace was just a result of practicing the runes and writings wrongly, and was expelled from Tianshi Dao.
Since then, these two sects have not dealt with each other.
But now the tide has turned. Tianshi Tao declined, but Ziyang Palace became a real Taoist sect.
Just looking at the formation in front of us, the difference between the two sides is not the same. Even just looking at their appearance, the two gangs are simply realistic versions of the Dirty Clothes Sect and the Pure Clothes Sect.
Thousands of people came to Ziyang Palace. They were full of energy, their Taoist robes were bright, and their whisks were inlaid with gold and jade.
On the other hand, Tianshi Dao, haha, except for the three old masters, there are only about twenty Taoist priests behind them, old and young, not to mention their appearance, and their Taoist robes are also unbearable. Even the color of Lao Tianshi's body was washed away, and there were two patches on his shoulders.
What left Jiang Fan speechless the most was that there were only three strands of hair left on Master Tian's whisk. It was difficult to swat flies away, and he didn't know what the use was of holding it on his elbow. Was he so poor?
No wonder the crowd of onlookers burst into laughter when they saw Tianshi Dao and the others coming out. Some people couldn't help but joked: "Is this the Tao of the Celestial Master? I thought that if it doesn't work in the Beggar Clan, just forget it. If you give up the Celestial Master's Mansion, you can still sell it for a good price..."
"Tsk, tsk...what the hell..." Gu Qingshan also gnashed his teeth a bit.
"This Ziyang Palace has been damaged enough. These Jianghu people must have been invited by them to bear witness or simply to watch the fun." Jiang Fan shook his head and said.
At this time, I heard Xuan Zhenzi, who was leading the team from Ziyang Palace, preaching: "Fellow Taoist Hui'an, after hundreds of years, it has finally been confirmed that Ziyang Palace is the authentic sect of Fulu. You should give up this Tianshi Mansion." , it’s time for me, Ziyang Palace, to clear up its name.”
Huide said angrily: "You have your own dojo in Ziyang Palace, you are going too far to deceive others!"
Xuan Zhenzi looked disdainful: "Immeasurable Heavenly Lord, Hui De, I am the deputy headmaster of Ziyang Palace. When you are talking to the Heavenly Master, you should not interrupt or disturb the seniority."
"you!"
Huide was furious and was about to step forward, but was gently stopped by the old Heavenly Master. The old Heavenly Master slowly said: "Xuanzhen, this is the only shabby dojo left in our Heavenly Master's way. What use do you want it for?" , why not leave it to Pindao to protect him from the wind and rain?"
His opening made a lot of people laugh. To say that this Tianshi Dao is really out of date, and to say that besides being big, this shabby place really has nothing to offer, and it will cost a lot of money to repair it if you can get it...
Jiang Fan couldn't help but was stunned. This old heavenly master actually had such a low profile. He was smiling and speaking calmly. He seemed to be in a peaceful mood, with no sense of humiliation or any desire to win.
Xuan Zhenzi suddenly waved his fly whisk and laughed loudly: "Hui'an, your qualifications were very poor at the beginning, but now your character has fallen into the dust. The founder's dojo has been ruined by you in this way. You are really a person who has lost his way. Why not hurry up? Quickly give up, wouldn't it be better for me, Ziyang Palace, to build a Taoist temple for you at the foot of the mountain to settle down?"
He is outright insulting.
Even though everyone in Tianshi Dao was a monk, their faces were all red with anger.
Only the old Heavenly Master smiled indifferently: "The golden nest and silver nest are not as good as my own thatched nest. The old Taoist and his disciples have lived here for many years. Although it is dilapidated, they have long regarded it as their home. Brother Taoist, why would you seize other people's homes? The old Taoist admits you It’s enough if the talisman is authentic, there’s no need to fight.”
Naturally, there was another burst of laughter.
But Gu Qingshan couldn't help but sigh: "What a good cultivation, such a good state of mind... Master Tian, this is amazing..."
Xuan Zhenzi laughed loudly: "Our Ziyang Palace is the orthodox Celestial Master, and the talismans are authentic. Now it is obvious to all in the world, who needs you to admit it? Now we come here just to let the world's heroes see this matter clearly. But this Celestial Master's Mansion We are going to make a deal, just tell us the price, and Ziyang Palace guarantees that the price will be the same."
What a slap in the face, if the Tianshi Mansion is really sold, these people will never be able to raise their heads in the world, and Tianshi Dao will really be dead.
The Heavenly Master sighed softly: "I can't sell it. The old Taoist has failed to protect his family business. I am ashamed of my ancestor. If I sell this place, the ancestor will probably come out of the ground and beat the poor Taoist to death. Fellow Taoist, forget it." "
Xuan Zhenzi sneered: "Then don't blame me for being rude. We already have a branch in the Tianshi Mansion, and it is also our dojo. If you insist on occupying it, you have to speak based on your ability!"
The Heavenly Master sighed leisurely: "Fight... I am not very good at fighting even if I am a poor man..."
When Jiang Fan heard this, he thought of his uncle, haha, not very good? You gods, I really believe in you.
