Deep in the clouds, two Taoist boys were waiting at the gate of the Cloud Palace, but they saw a ray of light break through the heavy clouds and land.
As soon as the light dissipated, Xu Zhuang appeared, his big sleeves fluttering, and he stepped towards him. The Taoist boy hurriedly greeted him, bowed his head and said, "Uncle Xu, Master Master ordered the boy to wait here. Please follow the boy into the hall."
Xu Zhuang nodded slightly and followed the Taoist boy into the hall.
In the main hall, there have been some changes compared to when Master Yuanhua was in office. A copper furnace was added in the middle of the hall. The smoke is divided into two colors, one green and one white. The green air curls up to the ceiling, floating in the air. The white air was heavy, rolling down on the ground and filling the room.
Master Daochen is sitting on a cloud bed, his eyes are slightly closed, and there seems to be an infinite bright light behind his head, shining in the void.
Xu Zhuang took two steps forward, saluted and said, "Disciple Xu Zhuang, I have met my senior master."
Although Master Daochen said that it is enough to refer to each other as brothers and sisters, in fact the age difference between the two is nearly a thousand years.
What's more, there is no rule without rules. Master Daochen is now in charge of the sect, and Xu Zhuang does not want to be too polite.
Master Daochen opened his eyes, and the bright light behind his head dissipated in an instant. In an instant, he changed from a high-handed posture to a peaceful one, and said: "Junior Brother Xu, do you know why I called you here?"
Xu Zhuang said, "Disciple, I don't know."
Master Daochen said: "Did you see Venerable Yuehua above the grand ceremony just now?"
Xu Zhuang's eyes moved, and he had a vague guess in his heart, so he said so.
Master Daochen said leisurely: "Junior brother must have guessed that Xingyuefang City is now officially under my Taisu sect and is under my jurisdiction."
Xu Zhuang was still surprised and said: "This disciple does have this idea, but why is this matter progressing so smoothly?"
This is not something that Xuzhuang is making a fuss about. Although Xingyuefang City has received support from Taisu in the past, it is still very different from officially joining Taisu.
Why did Shangxuanzong prosper from generation to generation, with high-grade golden elixirs coming one after another, Yuanshen real people emerging in large numbers, vaguely known as the head of the three sects, and claiming to be the leader of Xuanmen? This is not unrelated to Shangxuanzong's occupation of the Central Plains.
The Xuanhuang Realm is known as the Great Thousand, the heaven and the earth are perfect, and the Central Plains is at the foot of the central pillar of the Divine Continent. The weather is smooth and there are never any natural disasters.
If the stars outside the territory are not protected by Taoist temples, even if life is born, the living environment will be unimaginable to ordinary people growing up in the world. Not only natural disasters and man-made disasters, but even a group of demons sweeping past may kill the stars and eat them up.
Therefore, it can be said that the luck of people who grow up in the vast world is not comparable to that of people born in the stars outside the world, and the probability of producing spiritual seeds is even more different.
The seeds of cultivation are like this, let alone the proud son of heaven who has the appearance of a high-grade golden elixir. The difference between them can be known by looking at the seven true traditions of Tai Su's generation, all of which are born in the Xuanhuang Realm. As for examples like Master Daochen, they are very few after all.
The land of the Central Plains is extremely vast. Tens of thousands of nations are vying for the deer, gathering the fortune of the Shenzhou, and supporting trillions of people. Shangxuanzong occupies the Central Plains, and the fortune is at its peak. It produces countless seeds of cultivation. The proud son of heaven, this is the Tianwai Taoist Temple of Taisu Zong. There are billions of living beings, and choosing one among the millions can only be compared to them.
Xingyuefang officially joins Taisu. This is not just a small town, but it means that Taisu has officially established a son in the eastern part of the Central Plains.
….
In the past, although the names of the three sects were spread all over the Divine Continent, they did not have influence in the Central Plains or even to the east of the Central Plains. There were monks who knew about Taisu's reputation and wanted to join Taisu. They had to cross half of the Divine Continent and come to Yun. Dreaming is not easy, let alone ordinary people who yearn to worship Taisu and seek enlightenment.
After Xingyuefang officially belonged to Taisu, people who yearned for Taisu had a place to touch Taisu's authentic sect, which was equivalent to opening a hole in the Central Plains, which invisibly eroded the destiny of the Central Plains.
It sounds wonderful, but this is something that Shangxuanzong cannot allow. Otherwise, not to mention Taisu Zhengzong, Lingbao Sect, Tianhuo Sect... and even Taixuanzong's Falling Star Dojo have already been laid out in the Central Plains.
Therefore, Xu Zhuang was puzzled that Xingyuefang could actually join Taisu and fall into the Central Plains as a move for Taisu's authentic sect.
Master Daochen was naturally aware of Xu Zhuang's doubts and said leisurely: "This is different from Xingyuefang's
The special thing is related, but it is said that two thousand years ago, a real person of Shangxuanzong had a past cause and effect with Yuehua and Xingxiu, and they owed something. This made the city built by Yuehua Xingxu possible. developed. "
"Of course, now that Xingyuefang is too effective, it is unknown how long Shangxuanzong will take this cause and effect into consideration."
Having said this, Xu Zhuang finally understood the ins and outs of this matter, although he still had many doubts in his heart, such as why Xingyuefang chose Xiao Taisu? If you are looking forward to the protection of Shangzong, since Shangxuanzong and Xingyuefang have a causal relationship, why not Xingyuefang simply join Shangxuan?
Of course, Xu Zhuang also knew that many details were insignificant, so he did not ask further questions, but said: "This disciple already knows the reason for this matter, but I wonder what the master can give you?"
Master Daochen nodded and said: "It is said that this matter happened because of my junior brother, so I, Taisu Zhengzong, planted this son in the east of the Central Plains. This should be a good deed for my junior brother, but before that, we still need to Junior brother and Yuehua are all caused by this."
Xu Zhuang responded: "What should I do, disciple?"
Master Daochen said: "Yuehua will return to Xingyuefang and formally reincarnate after handing over to the disciples sent by me, Taisu."
"Junior brother, are you willing to take him under your sect and transfer him to our Taisu orthodox sect to practice?"
Xu Zhuang pondered for a moment and then responded respectfully: "My disciple is willing, how can I find the reincarnation of Lord Yuehua at that time?"
Master Daochen said: "This matter is not urgent. You can wait at the door during this period. After Yuehua reincarnates, I will issue a decree."
At this point, as if he had finished talking about the business, Master Dao Chen showed a smile on his face and said, "Is the treasure I gave to my junior brother still usable? How come the gold and mercury haven't been refined yet."
Xu Zhuang said helplessly: "This disciple has been practicing very diligently, and he will soon be able to refine gold and mercury."
"Yes." Dao Chen nodded, with an incomprehensible smile on his face, and said, "Junior brother should focus on cultivation. It is best to cultivate the Nascent Soul as soon as possible..."
Xu Zhuang's heart moved, and he vaguely felt that there seemed to be a deep meaning in Master Dao Chen's words, but before he finished speaking, Master Dao Chen stopped talking and said: "Go, remember what I said, what is above cultivation?" If you have any questions, please come to me and ask."
Xu Zhuang was still thinking about the profound meaning of Daochen's words. When he heard these words, he couldn't help but feel happy.
….
Although he has not had a master to teach the Dharma since he started practicing, in the Taisu sect, there are always experts giving lectures and elders giving guidance. Naturally, he understands that when practicing, many times the senior master’s advice from a high position is better than how much time he spends groping alone. .
What's more, what an opportunity it is to get guidance from Master Yuanshen?
Immediately, he thanked Master Daochen deeply. Unexpectedly, Xu Zhuang straightened up, cupped his hands, and asked, "Senior brother, why is the tangible born out of the invisible?"
Dao Chen laughed and pointed at Xu Zhuang: "Junior brother, you..."
When Xu Zhuang stepped out of the Cloud Palace Gate, two moons were already hanging in the sky.
Above the heavy clouds, there was no other cover, only the stars in the sky were shining brightly. Xu Zhuang raised his head and looked up, and suddenly thought in his heart: How many of the stars in the sky are pregnant with life? How many columns belong to the universe? How many seekers are there? In addition to the mysterious magic method, are there any other ways of cultivation that can touch the great road?
What do those stars that hang forever at the highest place represent?
Xu Zhuang looked at it quietly for a moment, then suddenly withdrew his gaze. In his mind, he did not put away the aura that entered and left the galaxy and traveled in the void.
"It's time to put your mind back on cultivation." Xu Zhuang whispered to himself, no longer stopping, he jumped up and pulled up a startling rainbow, breaking through the heavy clouds and heading towards Chongyun Peak.
Xu Zhuang escaped quickly and soon returned to the cave. He sat down in the lobby, thought for a moment, flicked his fingers slightly, and a talisman flew out, then he closed his eyes and waited quietly.
Within a moment, two figures appeared outside the gate of the cave. They were Li Changfeng and Jiao Long Split Cloud.
When a person entered the door, he saw Xu Zhuang sitting upright. Li Changfeng, regardless of the ceremonial robe still on his body, strode forward quickly, bowed his head and said, "I have met the master."
Jiaolong Xianyun has now shed his green scales, which is somewhat similar to the former Fu Haihou, but he is a demon.
But it was much stronger than Fu Haihou at that time. Obviously, living in Yunmeng Daze for these years was of great benefit to his cultivation.
However, his cunning temper did not change. Seeing Xu Zhuang sitting upright, he immediately shrunk and flew to the table, saying flatteringly: "Master, the little beast is here."
Xu Zhuang hummed lightly, raised his hand with great strength, lifted Li Changfeng up, and asked directly: "Can Changfeng gain anything from traveling?"
Before Xu Zhuang left for Fayuan Cave with Sun Suzhen, Li Changfeng had already bid farewell to Xu Zhuang and resumed his travels. It was not until Taisu Zhengzong issued a decree to recall his disciples to attend the succession ceremony of Daochen Zhenren that Li Changfeng returned to his family.
Li Changfeng responded respectfully: "Master, I have been practicing diligently and dare not slack off. Now I will gather the three internal medicines together. During my travels, I was lucky enough to pick up two external medicines. Only the immortal mushroom is left to gather together in Liuhe." "
Xu Zhuang nodded slightly and responded: "There must be some left in the Immortal Zhimen, and the quality is also the best."
Li Changfeng said hurriedly: "This disciple wants to imitate the master and travel to the Divine Continent to collect great medicines to hone his practice..."
"Slow down." Xu Zhuang waved his hand and said, "I know your intention, so this Immortal Zhi is not given for no reason."
Li Changfeng immediately responded: "I don't know what the master has ordered. I am determined to go through fire and water for the master. I dare not ask for the great medicine as a reward."
Xu Zhuang looked at where he was missing, and said calmly: "It can take as little as five years, or as many as eight years. I want you to go to Shangxuanzong and send a letter to Zhong Shenxiu on my behalf."
….
"This can also be regarded as an experience. After you return, write a letter for your teacher. You can take it to the General Affairs Hall to get the immortal mushroom."
Li Changfeng didn't pay attention to what Xu Zhuang said about Immortal Zhi, and responded: "Disciple, I obey." He hesitated and couldn't restrain his excitement, so he asked: "There are rumors in Shenzhou that Zhong Shenxiu has not yet become a Nascent Soul. It’s because I’m waiting to fight Master.”
"Master ordered his disciples to deliver a message to Shangxuanzong. Could it be that..."
Xu Zhuang did not comment, stopped Li Changfeng's words and said: "You should meditate and practice in the door during these days. My master will soon go into seclusion to attack the golden elixir. If there is anything unclear about the practice, you can ask now." "
When it came to practice, Li Changfeng stopped being modest and sorted out the questions he had accumulated in his mind. He asked questions one by one. Most of them were questions about practicing "Tai Su has invisible sword energy", and a few questions were about swordsmanship.
Regardless of how high Xu Zhuang's swordsmanship was, given his current proficiency in Taoism, it was a trivial matter to give guidance to Li Changfeng on his practice. Li Changfeng would be enlightened and suddenly enlightened with just a few words.
In just half an hour, Li Changfeng's accumulated practice problems were solved one after another. Li Changfeng bowed deeply to the ground and thanked his master respectfully.
Xu Zhuang didn't stop him, he sat upright and received a courtesy. Before Li Changfeng got up, he saw Hui Yun looking at him and asked, "Master, where is the little beast?"
Xu Zhuang asked suspiciously: "Why, do you also have problems with cultivation?"
Liyun said anxiously: "Master, don't you have any instructions for the little beast?"
But it's not that Liyun is no longer tired. In fact, after coming to Yunmeng Daze, the blessed land of the Immortal Family, he has rarely seen Xu Zhuang's face again.
At first, Liyun felt that there was no one on his head, and practicing in the blessed land was getting twice the result with half the effort. He was extremely happy, but as time went by, he became worried.
If the little beast like me is no longer valuable to the master and is driven out of Yunmeng Daze, will he return to the East China Sea and become a wild monster? Live a miserable life again?
Today, Xu Zhuang called Li Yun to come. Li Yun was very happy, but when he saw Xu Zhuang, he felt that this master's cultivation had increased dramatically, so he became more and more worried about his own value.
Xu Zhuang laughed, nodded at the slippery dragon, and said, "When Changfeng leaves, you can join him."
Liyun was overjoyed and said, "Don't worry, sir, I will protect you little beast... Young Master... you have a sound mind."
Xu Zhuang shook his head and said, "Your duty is to prevent unnecessary accidents during this trip. Do you understand?"
Liyun understood instantly and nodded obediently.
Xu Zhuang also asked: "Don't slack off in your practice on weekdays. If you have enough merit, I will consider going to Langhuan."
Lou has given you the "Dragon Power Method" to teach you how to increase your demonic power, so that you may be able to take further steps in the future. "
Liyun's head was nodding wildly, and he raised his body again. The Taoist student bowed his head and shouted, "Thank you, Master, for your teaching."
Xu Zhuang said: "Go."
When one person and one dragon retreated obediently, Xu Zhuang waved his sleeves, closed the door of the mansion, opened the forbidden array, and with a movement of his body, he came to the quiet room.
Now the jade cave in Xu Zhuang has been replaced by the Xuanbing cave obtained from the Fayuan Cave. Practicing on this cave has the effect of clearing the mind and calming the mind, and even improves the practice of Taoism. Although the effect is not great, it is better than nothing.
Xu Zhuang settled on the ice collapse and took out something from his sleeve. It was an incense burner with an ebony base, gold and silver, and a chi pattern on its body. It was a treasure given by Master Daochen.
This thing is similar to the essence of the glazed Ningzhen Pot, but it is more effective. It also includes golden elixirs, elixirs, real sand, and all kinds of spiritual objects for practice. It can even be refined by the cultivator himself to spit out the power of the elixir and return to the cultivator. for one's own use.
Don't think this effect seems trivial, but it allows Golden Elixir monks to experience the wonderful state of the origin of elixir power and never retreat.
"Within five years, it will be enough to refine gold and mercury."
Xu Zhuang threw Chi Wenkui's body furnace in front of him, and the elixir power immediately turned into gloomy smoke and rolled out.
