"His identity?" Mu Jingyu asked, "Master, what is the identity of Taoist Tai Er?"
The drunkard first used his powerful innate spiritual energy to explore the surrounding area for dozens of miles. After confirming that there were no potential enemies, he turned around and sat down face to face with Mu Jingyu.
"Boy, since I have accepted you as my disciple, it would be better for you to know some things."
Mu Jingyu knew that what the drunkard was going to say next would definitely involve some unknown secrets. He quickly said seriously: "Master, if you have anything to say, just say it. Disciple is all ears."
The drunkard nodded and asked: "Do you know the origins of the more than ten thousand casual cultivators in Jiuzhou?"
Mu Jingyu shook his head and said: "Master, please forgive me for being ignorant. Although I have been practicing in Jiuhua Mountain for three years, I only have a little understanding of the major sects of the righteous path. As for casual cultivators, they are just Just heard about it.”
"That's right. Casual cultivators like us have been despised by the righteous sects, so naturally we won't talk about it much. They think that what we practice is all evil and crooked, and we can't reach the hall of elegance. But they forgot, Didn’t the founders of each sect rely on their own talents to achieve enlightenment in the beautiful mountains and rivers? It took a thousand years of development to become a famous sect with more than a thousand disciples. But now, they actually look down on me. Waiting for some casual cultivation.”
When he talked about the attitude of the righteous sects towards these casual cultivators, the drunkard became angry and his tone was full of anger and annoyance. After venting for a few words, I suddenly realized that I had gone too far.
He coughed twice, calmed down and continued: "To say that we casual cultivators are not all people who practice alone and understand the way of heaven. There are many people like you who have mediocre talents but excellent understanding. Again. People who are unwilling to give up their practice after being persuaded by various sects to quit, and turn to practice alone.”
Having said this, the drunkard raised his eyes and secretly looked at Mu Jingyu. After seeing that his expression was as usual, he continued.
It's no wonder that a drunkard would care about Mu Jingyu's feelings. After all, he was once the abandoned son who was about to be kicked out of Jiuhua Mountain. If I say this, I'm afraid it will arouse his sadness.
"Of course, not every casual cultivator who practices alone can achieve something. After all, they lack the thousands of years of experience in various sects, and most of their final realms cannot break through to the innate realm. Now among the nine states , apart from our four masters, the four heavenly masters must have the highest cultivation level."
"Four heavenly masters?" Mu Jingyu did not expect that among the casual cultivators, in addition to the four masters who had reached the realm of innate divine knowledge, there were also four other masters with strong cultivation levels.
"Yes, the cultivation bases of these four heavenly masters are all in the realm of innate open heaven, and they have all reached the peak of opening heaven. Given time, they will definitely be able to break through to the realm of divine knowledge."
After hearing this, Mu Jingyu not only clicked his tongue secretly. According to where he is, the master of Jiuhua Mountain, Tianyang Zhenren, and the other seven leaders are only at the level of Kaitian. Only the master Tianyang Zhenren's cultivation has reached the peak of Kaitian. Unexpectedly, the cultivation level of these four heavenly masters is actually the same as that of Master Tianyang.
The drunkard continued: "The Taoist Tai Er who told you your fortune in Linjin City just now is the Gua Master, one of the four heavenly masters."
"What! That old Taoist priest is actually one of the four heavenly masters! But the disciples think that he looks ordinary and can't feel a trace of spiritual energy fluctuations. How can he have the temperament of an innate master? Master, aren't you giving me advice? Disciple, are you kidding me?"
No wonder Mu Jingyu was so surprised. No matter how you look at Tai Er Taoist, he is just a common man. At most, he can use some tricks to deceive the people, which is nothing compared to those seniors who are immortal in Mu Jingyu's mind.
The drunkard seemed to have expected that Mu Jingyu would not believe it, so he smiled slightly and said: "Taoer Taoist, our ancestors believed that people make a living by telling fortunes and reading fortunes. Although they don't have any great magical powers, after several generations of immersion, It can be considered a small success. When his generation comes, he will use this to enter the Tao and reach the innate realm."
"Entering the Tao through hexagrams, I am afraid that this disciple will never be able to achieve such innate understanding in his lifetime." Mu Jingyu felt a little sad.
The drunkard patted him on the shoulder and continued: "Twenty years ago, his cultivation finally broke through to the innate realm. Then he recruited hundreds of people who had the same experience as him and all entered the Tao through some commercial means. Xiu, founded the Tianji Pavilion, which is scattered throughout the cities of Kyushu, making a living by collecting intelligence and selling information. Up to now, there are more than a thousand members of the sect. "
Mu Jingyu suddenly realized: "No wonder Master wants him to pay attention to the information in Yaowang Valley. It turns out that he is still the master of a pavilion."
If you put it this way, the Tai Er Dao just told the fortune of the old woman and her daughter-in-law, and it was not all based on words. As long as he knew the name and whereabouts of the old woman's son, he could secretly order his disciples scattered throughout the Nine Provinces to secretly deliver some news to him. No matter whether this person is in danger or not, he can be more vigilant to avoid being poisoned.
"Then what are the identities of the other three heavenly masters?" Since Taoist Taier has this identity and power, presumably the other three will not be any worse.
The drunkard glanced at Mu Jingyu with admiration: "The other three heavenly masters are the gold master Jin Buhuan, the weapon master Mu Daocheng and the crazy master Zang Wanjuan. These three people, like Taier Taoist, have also established their own forces. .”
"Gold does not change, Mu Daocheng, and Hidden Ten Thousand Scrolls? The names of these three people are so strange." Mu Jingyu recited the names of the three people and whispered.
The drunkard said with a smile: "The names of these three people, like Tai Er Taoist, are self-proclaimed after becoming famous. As for their real names, no one knows."
Hearing this, Mu Jingyu suddenly remembered that he had been with the drunkard and the medical fairy for a while, and he didn't know their real names. Immediately he asked: "Hey, if Master can forgive this disciple's crime of disrespect, I dare to ask you for your name..."
The drunkard slapped Mu Jingyu on the forehead, pretending to be stern, and reprimanded: "You are a bold traitor, how dare you inquire about your master's identity!" But after saying a few words, his expression softened and he said: " If there is an opportunity in the future, my master will tell you my situation in detail. Who makes you my only disciple?"
Mu Jingyu saw the drunkard suddenly showing a somewhat sad expression, and knew that his unintentional words just now might have aroused his sadness. He stopped talking and asked about the identities of the other three heavenly masters.
At the moment, the drunkard explained the origins and identities of these three heavenly masters to Mu Jingyu one by one.
This gold master, Jin Bu Huan, was originally from a merchant family, and his family's financial resources were unrivaled in Kyushu. But since Jin Buhuan was born, he didn't like the family business, and instead became obsessed with cultivating immortality and Taoism.
Seeing that he was unwilling to take over the family business, his father had to spend countless gold and silver to send him to the Yukun Palace to practice. But Jin Buhuan stayed in Yukun Palace for three days before running back alone. He said that he wanted to realize the Tao on his own and was unwilling to be restrained by Yukun Palace.
Suddenly, after more than ten years, he actually succeeded in enlightenment and reached the innate realm. But later, his father suddenly became ill, and even if he used his innate cultivation, he could not eliminate the pain. He had no choice but to seek help from the medical fairy and the drunkard.
But this birth, old age, illness and death are the normal conditions of life. Even with the magical power of the medical fairy, it could only relieve his father's pain and delay his life for three to two years. Jin Buhuan had no choice but to accept this reality. After thanking the doctor and the drunkard profusely, I used the remaining two or three years to completely take over the family business under the guidance of my father.
Later, he used his innate cultivation and huge family industry to create a force that spread all over the world - Wangxian Tower.
This Wangxian Tower not only provides temporary food, clothing, housing and transportation for tens of thousands of casual cultivators in the world, but it can also take the opportunity to collect some important information. At this point, the function of Wangxian Tower is somewhat similar to that of Tai Er Taoist's Tianji Pavilion.
However, as Jin Buhuan's cultivation became more and more sophisticated, the Wangxian Pavilion he founded gradually became known to various sects and Yaoming Palace. Consciously or not, they would avoid talking about important things in Wangxian Tower.
Taoist Taier's Tianji Pavilion is free in the city and mountains. Whenever something suspicious is discovered, it can follow and secretly collect information in time, making it difficult for people to guard against it.
To this day, Wangxian Pavilion has already cooperated with Tianji Pavilion to use the information collected by Wangxian Pavilion all over the world to either sell it to various sects or provide it to casual cultivators in need.
The life experience of the weapon master Mu Daocheng is quite similar to Jin Buhuan. However, his ancestors were from a famous carpenter family in Beiluoxing Prefecture. It is said that in ancient times, people have been deeply involved in this art, and there is an ancient secret scroll passed down from that time at home, which records some mysterious forging methods. However, these legends have not been confirmed, and it is unknown whether they are true or not.
Mu Daocheng has been obsessed with refining immortal weapons since he was a child. When he was in his teens, he entered Taoism through this method. As he grows older, his cultivation becomes more and more advanced, and the fairy treasures and weapons he refines become more and more spiritual.
Slowly, Mu Daocheng's name spread throughout Kyushu. Not only countless casual cultivators, but also Bee Chrysalis went to Beiluoxing Prefecture and begged Mu Dao to become a useful weapon or magic weapon for them. Even the sect leaders of some small sects and even the lower nine sects would order people to carry heavy sums of money and rare materials to the wooden road, and beg them to build a useful weapon for themselves.
Only the upper nine sects, on the one hand, are hampered by their respective status. On the other hand, it is also because of their profound background and the fact that their respective sects also have disciples who can forge weapons and fairy treasures, so they rarely go to Mu Daocheng to ask for their weapons and magic weapons.
Maybe people with great supernatural powers have a weird temper. This Mu Daocheng has a completely different attitude towards people who come to seek help. Any loose cultivator who comes to ask for help, as long as he is not a very evil person, will do his best to help. On the other hand, when people from various sects come to ask for help, they not only have a cold attitude, but also put forward a bunch of extremely harsh conditions. Anyone who dares to bargain will be kicked out of the door without saying a word, never to be seen again.
As for why Mu Daocheng hates all the major righteous sects so much, there are many speculations among Kyushu. One of the most convincing speculations is that Mu Daocheng fell in love with a nine-tailed fairy fox when he was young. One person and one fox lived together in a place called Broken Blade Mountain for three years, and decided to stay with each other forever.
Unexpectedly, heaven's way to eliminate demons suddenly comes, and all the righteous sects will kill all the demons without leaving any trouble, regardless of whether they are evil or not. Poor the nine-tailed fairy fox, he and Mu Dao had only been together for three days when he was kidnapped by the Zhengdao disciples who suddenly killed him, and his whereabouts are still unknown.
The drunkard rushed to Mu Daocheng for this purpose and went with him to find the whereabouts of the nine-tailed fox. It's just that at that time, various righteous factions and countless spirits were fighting in the world. It was not easy to find the whereabouts of the nine-tailed fox.
From then on, Mu Daocheng seemed to be a different person and began to practice with great concentration. Finally, twenty years later, he broke through to the innate realm. He became one of the four most powerful Celestial Masters among Jiuzhou's casual cultivators after the Four Jue.
The life experience of the last of the four heavenly masters, Chi Shi Zang Wanjuan, is the most mysterious. Not only the righteous sects know nothing about his identity and origin, but even drunkards, medical immortals and tens of thousands of casual cultivators know it. Very little.
As the name suggests, this person who has collected thousands of volumes loves to collect cultivation classics from all over the world. For this reason, a magnificent library was built specifically to display the more than 10,000 books he collected.
Whether it is the various sects of the righteous path, the spirits of the Demon Underworld Palace, or even the cultivation techniques learned by some low-level casual cultivators, they have all been incorporated into them by various means.
Its scale and variety are the best in Kyushu. Even the Buddhist Scripture Pavilion of Lingjue Temple is inferior to it. However, each sect has been passed down for hundreds or even thousands of years, and the top techniques and secrets in the sect are regarded as the foundation of the sect.
Zang Wanjuan secretly used many conspiracies in order to obtain these top-notch skills and secrets, but he still failed to obtain even one of them. He also offended the nine sects for this, and they almost mobilized troops to destroy his library.
If Drunkard and the Medical Immortal had not received the news in time and led more than a thousand casual cultivators, as well as countless people from Tianji Pavilion and Wangxian Pavilion, to rush to the rescue in time, his library with thousands of volumes would have become his. Burial place.
