That night.
Xu Zhuang rested temporarily in the ritual hall arranged by Taoist Xuancheng. Before midnight, Xu Zhuang lit incense and began to take a bath.
When one has reached the level of Xuzhuang in cultivation, his whole body is clean and his immortal body is fragrant, so he usually does not need to take a bath.
In accordance with Taisu's etiquette, he smelled incense, fasted, bathed and changed clothes before important occasions, and recited the Nine Sutras to purify his mind and spirit to show his solemnity.
Up to now, Xuzhuang has been cultivating. Even the disciple Yushou Zhenjun only met Zhenjun when he was in the realm of innate Taisu. His relationship with Zhenjun Guangcheng of Guangyuan Jie also happened because Guangcheng Zhenjun opened a forum to preach. Law.
This was the first time he was summoned by True Lord Chunyang alone. Even though True Lord Taixuan was the founder of another sect, Xu Zhuang could not lose his respect as a sacred figure who traveled far on the road.
After a set of rituals, when it was almost time, Xu Zhuang came to the hall and sat in meditation, waiting for guidance from the Taixuan sect. Unexpectedly, he was still delayed. Xu Zhuang was determined and saw that the time had arrived, but he was still not impatient. , sit still until Chen hour arrives.
A ray of light penetrated into Xu Zhuang's slightly closed eyes. Xu Zhuang's heart moved. He slowly opened his eyes and realized that the world had changed.
I saw that the whole body was already in the blue sky, and everything under my feet was covered with clouds. The majestic air was flying around, chasing erratically, as if there were spirits. The sound of the kite in the air was playing wonderfully, and there seemed to be a goddess singing with it. The fairy music curled up, soothing my heart. Pleasant, like a heavenly palace.
Even without thinking, he knew that True Lord Chunyang must have summoned him here directly with his great supernatural power. Xu Zhuang did not panic and stood up slowly. He felt that there was a strange feeling in his spiritual consciousness, guiding him to pierce the clouds and mist. , walked inward, until very deep, and suddenly saw a clear pool.
Beside the clear pond, there was a simple Taoist who was fishing with his back to Xu Zhuang. There was a bamboo cage casually placed beside him. Xu Zhuang's heart moved and he slowed down and moved forward slowly.
Just when they got behind the Taoist, the Taoist suddenly swung the fishing rod, and the silver line brought up the water and flashed in the air. A small fish that looked like a big kun flew up from the inside and fell into the bamboo cage.
"This is this?" Xu Zhuang couldn't help but look into the bamboo cage and saw only three or two creatures in it. In addition to Yu Kun, there were two small snakes. A closer look revealed that they were all dragons.
Xu Zhuang only felt his arms tighten, and the split cloud in his sleeve was extremely nervous, but he had no time to respond. As if he thought of something, he looked towards the clear pool again, and suddenly, as if his eyes were looking through the heavy clouds, he saw Wan Qing. Blue waves are rolling, fairy mountains and spiritual islands are dotted here and there, thousands of sea people are living in the sea, and the Crystal Palace will forever stay on the bottom of the sea——
This clear pond turns out to be the vast, vast East China Sea!
The immortal is sitting on the head of the cloud, fishing in the vast sea. The achievements of True Lord Chunyang are indeed no different from those of the immortal.
Seeing the Taoist slowly retracting the line, Xu Zhuang spoke for the first time and said respectfully: "Junior Xu Zhuang, I have met the true king."
True Lord Taixuan smiled slightly, pointed to the side and said, "Sit down."
Xu Zhuanggong sat down, and Taixuan Zhenjun threw the fishing rod into the East Sea. Only then did Xu Zhuang realize that the rod had a straight hook and no bait on it. It turned out that the wisher took the bait.
"Xuzhuang." In their imaginations, Taixuan Zhenjun and Xu Zhuang imagined that the overbearing Wu Boundless who was on the same level as Shangxuan Zhengzong and stepped on the face of Dragon Palace was completely different. His tone was kind, as if chatting with a younger member of the family: "I know why you are talking to me. Is there a hint of master-disciple connection? That’s it.”
Before Xu Zhuang could be stunned, Taixuan Zhenjun turned around and asked slowly: "Are you willing to accept me as your teacher?"
Xu Zhuang never expected that the first question he would ask when summoned by True Lord Taixuan would be like this. However, he was no longer immature, and calmly responded: "This junior has been taught Taisu Taoism, and he is among the true disciples." Among..."
"It doesn't matter." Taixuan Zhenjun said leisurely: "You have many kinds of Taoism, and you can inherit it from me. As for the Taoism disc matter, you can join my sect, and our sect can negotiate with Taisu."
Xu Zhuang couldn't help but smile bitterly. It was the greatest honor in the world to be favored by True Lord Chunyang. However, he didn't think much about it. He still responded: "I am not very honored to be appreciated by True Lord, but I am so proud of myself." I grew up in the Taisu family, and I really have no desire to change my family."
True Lord Taixuan nodded slightly. As a person of this caliber, he would naturally not be displeased. He just said lightly: "Okay."
Xu Zhuangzheng breathed a sigh of relief, and Zhenjun Taixuan suddenly asked: "You practice Yuan Zun Taoism, and there are no warnings in the sect?"
Xu Zhuang's heart sank slightly, and he first replied: "No." Then he respectfully asked for advice: "I dare to ask the True Lord for advice, who is Yuan Zun? What's wrong with his Taoism?"
"Talking about the sacred is of no use to you." Taixuan Zhenjun responded: "However, Yuan Zun's Taoism is the path of the end. To practice this method is to abandon the near and seek the far, and to end the path."
"This?" Xu Zhuang was horrified in his heart. Although he was still confused about the secrets involved, but to renounce his own path is the most terrifying thing for a person like him who seeks the Tao. He immediately asked: "Is it possible for this junior to stop practicing now?" Can it be saved in time?"
"No." Zhenjun Taixuan glanced at him and said calmly: "But it's not difficult to restore it."
Xu Zhuang asked categorically: "Dare I ask True Lord, how should I act?" Although he was arrogant, he had no inexplicable self-righteousness about "his poison, my elixir". Since True Lord Taixuan criticized Yuan Zun's Taoism, He said that he would "cut off his own path", and he would never abandon the fundamentals and seek the inferiors.
Taixuan Zhenjun smiled inexplicably and said: "I have three methods, upper, middle and lower. Are you willing to listen?"
Xu Zhuang Surong said: "Please give me some advice, Zhenjun."
Taixuan Zhenjun said leisurely: "Those who cast the spell, please ask those who have mastered the spirit to cut off the Tao spell for you, and then find a piece of pure Yang Qi to make up for the foundation."
Xu Zhuang immediately sat down. No wonder it was not difficult to ask Master Yiyuan Shen to kill the Taoist method for him, but he knew very well how precious pure Yang Qi was.
"This is indeed very difficult for ordinary people, but for you, it may not be so."
Xu Zhuang's heart moved, and if Taixuan Zhenjun had some pointers, he said: "In my opinion, you only need to cut off the Taoism directly. After a few hundred years of hard practice, you should be able to restore the foundation, and at most it will only reduce your potential. .”
This answer seemed to be expected by Xu Zhuang. Xu Zhuang was not surprised, but he breathed a sigh of relief. Even if he wasted hundreds of years of hard work, it was nothing compared to the Tongtian Avenue. He had secretly made up his mind that if he could not obtain This is the way to go.
He had made up his mind, but Xu Zhuang was not in a hurry, but asked respectfully: "Dare I ask the True Lord, what are the consequences of those who fall into the law and those who succeed in the law?"
Since Lord Taixuan had already explained the three methods, he naturally did not hesitate to give advice and said calmly: "If you succeed in the method, you don't have to be in a hurry."
Taixuan Zhenjun smiled and said: "If you can refine your soul, I believe that Zhenjun Yushou will not be stingy in washing away the Taoism for you. Moreover, by then the soul will have been completed. Even if it takes thousands of years to make up for the Taoism, it will still be better than you." At this critical moment, it is hindering your practice."
Xu Zhuang nodded slowly. From this point of view, this method is indeed better than the previous method. After all, the soul has a long-lasting vision, and there are ways to avoid even the three disasters, not to mention that he has the Green Tribulation Pearl Fruit with him.
Moreover, if Xu Zhuang can refine the 'Great Zi Zi Xuanjun Liu Miao Jade Emperor' into the magic talisman of God's will, he will have one more powerful magic weapon that is comparable to the true form. Even if it takes thousands of years, for the real person Yuanshen It seems to be within the acceptable range.
Come to think of it, the sect didn't give him any advice on how to practice Yuan Zun Taoism. Maybe it was because he didn't expect it, or maybe it was because he had this idea. After all, Taisu Zhengzong's disciples always followed their own circumstances.
But since those who follow the law are more in line with Xu Zhuang's wishes, what about those who follow the law?
