"W-what did you say?!"
When Zhao Danping heard this, he was shocked and angry, his whole body trembled, and he pointed at Chi Yao with a look of disbelief.
You must know that the purple lotus in that pool is the lifeblood of their Longhu Mountain and the manifestation of their sect's destiny. The more lotus flowers, the more prosperous the luck of Longhu Mountain will be. On the contrary, it means that the luck of Longhu Mountain is declining.
As one of the current four great heavenly masters, Zhao Danping naturally has an unparalleled understanding of the purple lotus in that pool.
The pond is called Longchi, located in the mountain behind Longhu. There are more than ten kinds of spiritual creatures such as dragon salamanders in the pond, which are found from all over the world. They use their spiritual energy to cultivate lotus flowers in the pond. That lotus is also known as the longevity lotus. The bottom one has been blooming for 1,600 years.
When Lu Zu was alive five hundred years ago, due to the huge Wudang Mountain, there were only six luck lotuses in the dragon pond.
Indeed, as Chi Yao said, before Jiazi, the Great Celestial Master Zhao Gusu from Longhu Mountain went to Longchi in person and asked for the power of the immortals in the sky at the cost of destroying the six Purple Golden Lotus flowers of luck to slay the demon that was ravaging the world. The leader of the religion is Liu Songtao.
But later, Qi Xuan frame slayed demons and ascended, a great heavenly master changed the emperor's destiny against heaven, and later Longhu Mountain began to lead the world's Taoism. In these events, lotus flowers bloomed, indicating that Longhu Mountain's luck gap had long been filled. , and is still rising step by step.
Nowadays, the fortune of Longhu Mountain is at its peak, and there are as many as eighteen lotus flowers in the pond, which is several times more powerful than five hundred years ago. However, this is no reason to let others steal it!
"Hmph, didn't you hear clearly enough?"
Chi Yao cast a dull glance at the purple-robed old man, then raised his head to look at the sky, "That's it, let's evaluate the new moves I learned."
He looked at the Spear of Heaven's Punishment that came to his head at lightning speed in an instant, raised his arm, and made a fist toward the sky.
winter!
With just such a simple action, both Zhao Danping, who was flying with his sword, and Jiang Huzi, who was surrounded by thousands of onlookers below, all felt as if their hearts had paused heavily, and then they became inexplicably panicked.
No, not inexplicably.
I saw that although a gap was torn apart by the blazing thunder spear, it still filled the sky. The black-red vitality covering eighty-nine points of the world seemed to have been summoned by something, and it converged towards one place. go.
There is the center of Chi Yao's fist.
Huhu——
The flow of vitality cannot be seen or touched by ordinary people, but everything has a degree. When the total amount of flowing vitality is too majestic, there will be wind and rain, thunder and lightning.
At this time, the immeasurable vitality of heaven and earth gathered into Chi Yao's clenched fist, making the space around him slightly unstable. Zhao Danping secretly looked at the ultra-high concentration of vitality with his spiritual eyes, but he couldn't see clearly yet. Something valuable, it stung my eyes and shed tears.
The thunder spear that looked like a punishment from heaven finally roared and landed three feet above Chi Yao's head.
Roar!
!
The trembling thunder that penetrated the air was like a dragon's roar, the sound shook the surrounding areas, swallowed up the eight extremes, and seemed to melt Chi Yao into the brilliant electric light.
At this moment, Chi Yao's originally clenched fist suddenly popped out a finger.
Uh-huh!
Soon enough, a black and red Ling Ran sword light shot out of his fist!
quick! quick! quick!
The sword light was so fast that it was unbelievable that almost as soon as Chi Yao's finger popped out, it had already hit the tip of the thunder!
laugh--
No collision, no stalemate, no explosion.
This sword light seemed to be just flying on its own, not even noticing any obstacles in the middle of the road, and just rushed straight into the blue sky.
However, that majestic thunder suddenly stopped and froze in mid-air, as if someone had pressed the freeze button.
The next second.
Accompanied by a crisp sound like glass breaking, the lightning suddenly disintegrated and turned into wisps of electric light, like a huge blue-white firework exploding in mid-air.
"you……"
This situation made Zhao Danping frightened, and a trace of fear inevitably arose in his heart.
Although the Immortal Talisman is limited by the laws of the human world, the concentration of vitality and other conditions, its power is lower than that in the sky. But no matter how much it is reduced, the lethality will not be lower than the realm of land gods.
At this moment, except for Wang Xianzhi, the invincible martial artist in the world, he really couldn't think of anyone else who could break the power of this earthly immortal so easily and comfortably.
"Could it be said that this guy has surpassed the celestial phenomena and become a land god?"
Zhao Danping couldn't help but have this thought in his mind, "It's impossible, absolutely impossible!"
What are land gods?
According to general rules, masters of this level will not appear in the human world.
Because when a martial artist breaks through the realm of celestial phenomena, he has already reached the standard of being able to ascend to heaven and become an immortal. The same goes for people in the three religions. They can all ascend after reaching the realm of Da Zhi Xuan, Da Celestial Elephant, and Da Vajra.
If everyone follows such ascension rules, then there should be no strong people in the land of gods and fairyland in the world.
After all, doesn’t the literal meaning of land gods mean gods who stay in the human world?
But I don’t know since when, more and more people are not willing to ascend to the upper world after reaching the standard of ascension. They pass through the gate of heaven without entering, and are willing to stay in the human world. This makes the level of force in the human world continue to rise. swell.
"The culprit is Lu Dongxuan!"
Somehow, Zhao Danping suddenly remembered this Wudang Patriarch.
There are many people who have passed through the Heavenly Gate without entering, but the most famous among them is undoubtedly this one. And he didn't just pass through the Heaven's Gate without ever entering. Every time he reincarnated and re-cultivated, he was invincible in the world. He could ascend quickly, and then he never entered the Heaven's Gate without entering!
"It's his fault for giving the whole world a bad start!"
Zhao Danping gritted his teeth.
Longhu Mountain, which originally had sixty-four immortal ancestors, should be firmly ranked first in the world because it can invite the power of immortals.
But just because there are too many people in the world who can ascend but have not, their sect, which has always done its duty and strictly abides by the ascension system, actually suffered a loss in terms of high-end force!
After all, asking an Ascended Immortal to take action requires timing and paying a price. Compared with the land immortals who can take action anytime and anywhere, there are many inconveniences.
"Fortunately, we are smarter now."
Thinking of the founder Zhao Xuansu who was cultivating in the back mountain, Zhao Danping's hanging heart relaxed a little.
He's just a land immortal, who doesn't have one?
"But this time we really misjudged the enemy's situation and could only return without success."
Zhao Danping felt a little pity, but there was nothing he could do. Even the Immortal Talisman was easily broken by the opponent. What else could he do?
"Walk!"
Although his thoughts turned back and forth thousands of times, in reality it only lasted a moment. When the Thunder of Heaven's Punishment summoned by the Immortal Talisman collapsed, Zhao Danping turned around with his sword and wanted to leave the Zhulu Mountain Realm.
But how could Chi Yao let him escape so easily?
Since luck needs to be fought for, the rise of the devil is bound to confront the rising Longhu Mountain. In this case, why should we be merciful?
ever--
A second finger popped out of the clenched fist.
The black and red sword light flashed away, instantly piercing through the luxurious purple robe.
Zhao Danping's body shook violently. He could no longer control the mahogany talisman sword and fell straight from the air!
…
…
The mountain behind the dragon and the tiger.
In a pond with deep stems and lush leaves, where salamanders and dragons dance together, three purple-gold lotuses that were originally swaying withered instantly, plus the three that withered one after another a while ago, which symbolizes the spirit of the Dragon Tiger Mountain, the leader of the Taoist sect. The lucky purple lotus flower actually disappeared by a third today!
When the first luck lotus withered, it alarmed many real people on Longhu Mountain. By this time, the small dragon pond was filled with yellow and purple colors.
The eldest among them has beard and hair like snow, wears sandals and clear socks, and wears only an ordinary fish-belly white Suzhou Taoist robe. It is not very outstanding, but at least he wears an alchemist's crane cloak that has come out of the dust, and he has a vague sense of immortality. The magnificence is none other than Zhao Xiyi, the oldest and senior among the four great Celestial Masters in Longhu Mountain.
The next oldest Taoist is much more slovenly. He wears a thick green cotton robe with stains, as if he is afraid of the cold. On his feet is a pair of thick-soled warm shoes with cotton leg wraps. People wonder how this Taoist is qualified to stand here. Among the crowd of yellow and purple nobles, he was still ranked quite high.
As for the one next to him, he looked scary. Not only was his inner robe yellow, but he also wore a purple coat. His clothes were extremely gorgeous and noble.
The direct lineage of the Tianshi Mansion can wear yellow, and the few noble real people in Longhu Mountain can wear purple. As for the Taoist priest who can combine yellow and purple, there is no doubt that the only one who can wear it is Zhao Danxia, the headmaster of Longhu Mountain.
There are three of the Four Heavenly Masters. Even Zhao Xiyi, who has been in seclusion for many years and has no interest in worldly affairs, has come out of seclusion. Naturally, there are more complete ones with younger generations.
If someone doesn't arrive, it's not because of anything else but because they're not qualified enough.
Behind the three heavenly masters, Bai Yu, who was dressed in noble purple clothes, and Qi Xianxia, who was carrying a sword, stood side by side. One is the swordsman carrying the tripod who is known as the reincarnation of Lu Zu, and the other is an eminent scholar who stunned Buddhism in the last Lotus Peak Buddhism and Taoism debate. This Taoist priest does not learn the martial arts of dragon and tiger, but only immerses himself in ancient classics. He pursues the four heavenly masters with his knowledge. He even went to the palace to meet the emperor not long ago. After a conversation, Long Yan was very happy and he was given the "White Lotus". The name "Mr." spread all over the world.
Compared with the two of them, even Zhao Ningshen, who was described as resembling the first ancestor of Longhu Mountain, was slightly behind.
The three of them are the three little heavenly masters of Longhu Mountain.
The Four Great Celestial Masters and the Three Little Celestial Masters, this is the highest level circle in Longhu Mountain today, but the seven of them are standing here, looking at a child across the pond with great restraint.
"This star really wants to retire"
The child had red lips and white teeth, and beautiful features, but there was an indescribable air of vicissitudes in his eyes.
"Ancestor, may I ask... what's going on?"
Zhao Danxia, the leader in yellow and purple clothes, bowed her hands and asked in a difficult voice.
The child's face was as dark as water, and there was a smile on his face that was seriously inconsistent with his appearance and age: "Didn't you already guess it in your heart? Three lucky purple lotuses disappeared in an instant, and Danping may not be able to come back. .”
"ah!"
Even though she was the Heavenly Master of Longhu Mountain, the Headmaster, the Taoist leader of the world, and the Prime Minister in Yuyi, Zhao Danxia still cried out in pain at this moment.
Longhu Mountain is a sect to others, but to him it is more like a big family.
Zhao Xiyi, the most senior among the four heavenly masters, is Zhao Danxia's father, Zhao Xichuan is his uncle, and Zhao Danping is his younger brother.
Everyone in the world said that because the previous head of the family passed the position to him, the proud and arrogant Zhao Danping left the capital in order to become the prime minister of Qingci who could be on an equal footing with him, the Prime Minister in Yuyi.
But only they themselves know that there is more to the story than just that.
Back when the Liyang Dynasty first established the world, Longhushan took advantage of this trend to rise up and became the leader of the Taoist sect in the world. But behind the good fortune, there are also crises that are difficult for ordinary people to detect.
First, although Longhu Mountain was conferred by the royal family to lead the world's Taoist sects, there was no one worthy of being the leader of the Taoist sect.
The so-called Taoist leader, together with the Buddha head, means the world-recognized leader of the sect. The previous generation of Taoist leader was Qi Xuanzhen who slayed the demon at Lotus Peak.
If Zhao Xuansu was willing to stand in front of the stage, he would be barely able to do so given his land-god status. But he is unwilling to come forward, so whether it is the leader Zhao Danxia or the more senior Zhao Xiyi, they cannot suppress Wudang leader Wang Zhonglou in terms of cultivation alone. If they are the leader of the Taoist group, they will not be able to sit firmly.
But this problem is not a big one. Although there is no Taoist leader in Longhu Mountain, there is even less in other places, so it can be put aside for the time being.
But the second problem is more urgent. Among the next generation of leading figures of the "Jing" generation in Longhu Mountain, there is no descendant of the Zhao family.
You know, although there is an ancestral motto in Longhu Mountain: "If you are not Zhao, you are not a master of heaven", but you can't stand up to the younger generations. The surname is too raw, isn't it?
Didn't Qi Xuan frame conquer the entire Longhu Mountain back then and not only become the Great Heavenly Master, but also the Taoist leader of the world?
Looking at the current generation of disciples of Longhu Mountain, there is Mr. Bai Lian in the immortal way, and Qi Xianxia in the martial arts. Both of them have foreign surnames. Regardless of chance or Taoism, no one in the Zhao family can stand shoulder to shoulder with them.
As for Zhao Ningshen?
Not to mention that he is still a little behind those two people. Even if he is not far behind, his seniority is lower than the two of them. Bai Yu and Qi Xianxia are both of the "Jing" generation following the "Dan" generation, while Zhao Ningshen is It's the next generation of "Ning". There's no reason to choose a junior instead of choosing a better one, right?
Therefore, over the years, the intrigues caused by these things in Longhu Mountain may not be less than those in secular families. If it weren't for worrying about the weak and the strong, why would Zhao Danping be the ridiculous prime minister?
Yes, it's funny. This is Zhao Danxia's truest evaluation of her younger brother's reputation as prime minister.
But it was precisely because he thought the name was ridiculous that he could better understand and appreciate Zhao Danping's dedication and humiliation to Longhu Mountain over the years, and he felt guilty for having accumulated a lot of money losses for his younger brother.
Now that she suddenly heard the bad news, Zhao Danxia was stunned.
He froze for a moment, vomited out a mouthful of blood, and then fell to the sky:
"It hurts me too!"
