"I haven't seen the real person for many years! I think the real person must have achieved great success and ascended to the state of taking the form of gas!" The man in black looked at the old Tao indifferently, his eyes were like a star, as if he wanted to learn from the old Tao's expression and look. See the clues.
But he was disappointed. Not only could he not see the cultivation level of this veteran, but even his own test seemed to be as light as a cloud, and dispersed about one meter in front of him. He stood there like an ordinary Taoist priest, looking at himself with wisdom. It was as if my temptation to him had never happened.
The surprise in the heart of the man in black has really reached the extreme. This time he came out to Yuzhou for the first time. Firstly, it can be said that he still belongs to his own territory here. Secondly, he has made a breakthrough in his cultivation and improved to the level of the innate realm. According to Taoism strictly , that is, it has reached the extremely high state of refining the gods and returning to the void.
If we look at different practices, if the old Taoist really achieves the transformation of form with Qi, then it will be similar to his own practice of refining the spirit to return to the void. He was extremely confident in himself. He did not expect that this veteran, whom he had known for many years, was still the same as before. It was not something he could guess.
"Different paths lead to the same goal. Cultivation cannot be achieved by external things! The old Taoist has not practiced for many years!" The old Taoist's black and white eyebrows trembled, with a smile on his face, looking at the man in black who was looking at him quietly, as if he was also testing the man in black. He didn't care at all: "It's true that my brother is tied up in worldly affairs, but I didn't expect that he would practice diligently, which puts the old Taoist to shame!"
The man in black didn't say anything. The old Taoist was in a state of cultivation that he couldn't see through. Either they are much higher than themselves, or they have really practiced other methods that they don't know about. But he is not a troubled person, otherwise he would not be able to reach today's realm during his cultivation. He let go and stopped thinking, and looked at Lao Dao, with the corners of his mouth raised slightly. He has a handsome appearance, which has the power of smiling, and I am afraid that many women will be attracted by him.
"The real person is ridiculous. A certain family has not been in the world for many years. I didn't expect to come out this time and meet old friends of many years. It is really gratifying. I haven't seen the real person for many years. I didn't expect to meet in Shu." Bin, the man in black He said politely: "I heard from my disciples that there has been a lot of turmoil in various places in Shuzhong recently. I wonder if the real person is here because of this?"
The old road slowly walked to the left along the wooden piles. There was a row of pine trees next to the piles. Perhaps because these ancient pines were extraordinary, each tree was as thick as several people surrounded it. The tree stump turned slightly when it reached the edge of these ancient pines, avoiding these ancient pines. It was obvious that someone wanted to preserve these ancient pines.
The pine needles on the branches are stretched out, and the white cranes are dancing lightly, as if they are in the secular world. The man in black followed him casually, and the two chatted slowly like old friends. While commenting on the handiwork outside Yuzhou City, they looked at the pattern they had never seen before. What the two people naturally didn't know was that retaining these ancient pines was an order from Liu Jixing who was far away in Lingnan.
It turns out that by Liu Jixing's later generations, there were very few ancient trees of all kinds in the world, causing a lot of water and soil erosion. Of course, some died due to natural evolution, but most of them were cut down in just ten years during the catastrophe. Therefore, Liu Jixing's principle is that in this era when the air is fresh everywhere, his men must obtain approval before cutting down ancient trees that are more than hundreds of years old in other places.
The people on the side paid no attention to the two people. One was an ordinary Taoist priest and the other was a man in ordinary clothes. Although one has white hair and a childlike face, and the other is handsome and refined, they are really not of much interest to these refugees outside Yuzhou City.
"Let's not talk about Shuzhong, Yuzhou is definitely my brother's territory!" The old Taoist laughed and said: "The old Taoist has not even practiced cultivation for many years, how can he get involved in such worldly things! But you are the only one who does it. Master, you don’t even know about it?”
With his sword eyebrows relaxed, the man in black actually smiled, and he looked even more attractive: "When Brother Guangtu was alive, he knew a certain family's character very well, so he never cared about the Holy Sect's affairs in Shu. Interference. Later, Brother Baoyin replaced Shuzhong, but he still had enough respect for the Holy Sect. When he was critically ill, he was worried that his son was young, and even personally invited a certain family to the palace to complain. But how could a certain family care about the worldly reputation? Later he When their son ascends the throne, a certain family has been meditating at the Holy Gate!"
He turned his head and looked at the old Taoist, as if he thought of something, and then said with a half-smile: "Isn't it that the Taoist sect's grand gathering that happens every thirty years is just recently? Has the Taoist sect's supreme leader made you respect it again? This grand gathering is always here. Zhongnan Mountain!”
The old Taoist quietly looked at the busy people in front of him, and didn't care about the teasing tone in the man in black's tone. At the end of the Tang Dynasty, it was common knowledge that various Taoist sects had different opinions because of their practice methods. In the end, everyone ignored the Taoist Supreme's advice and went their separate ways to practice alone, and even joined the world one after another. The Supreme Tao Sect floated away, but he became the Tao Sect in the world, a big joke in front of the world.
Although Taoism emphasizes tranquility and inaction, it cannot leave anything to chance. After all, we are still human beings!
Perhaps reaching the highest point of spiritual practice and enlightenment, you may have a new interpretation of all this. The old Taoist has been pursuing this all his life, and he also knows this. He doesn't know when he will achieve it, but at least he has a direction.
Looking at everyone's busy work, although it looks very hard, everyone's face seems to be full of hope. Before coming here, the old Taoist naturally inquired about the purpose of these people. Although he didn't know how the Meng family in Shuzhong would react to the Jianwei Church, at least the people felt good now. No matter who is the emperor, the common people's idea is very simple, that is, to be safe and have food to eat.
The average religion seems to have given them hope at this time. Hope will make people feel the passion of life and the reason to live. The common people are very simple and realistic. Whoever gives them hope will definitely support them.
He seemed to see something, as if he suddenly grasped something in his heart, but he already understood it clearly. At this moment, this old Taoist with gray hair and childlike face suddenly seemed to have straightened his back, and his eyes were filled with smiles.
"All Taoist sects in the world have long since fallen apart because of their different paths. In the gathering decades ago, the Taoist sect's supreme existence has ceased to exist in name only. The old Taoist has always been grudged against himself, and he has not been able to let go of it all these years. At this moment, the old Taoist suddenly understood that everyone has someone else. You should not interfere with other people's ideas because of your own ideas." The old Taoist seemed a little sad.
But the look on his face was full of hope, and he said: "Because everyone had different practices and insights, we all went our separate ways that day! Since then, the Taoist Supreme Master has disappeared. Where can we still find the grand event of Zhongnan Taoism? These old Taoists gradually no longer worry about methods, and they travel around the world and see all over the world. They feel so happy! I didn't expect that not long ago, I actually received a summons from the Supreme Lord!"
Seeing the old Taoist's calm expression, the man in black did not disturb the old Taoist's thoughts. He naturally understood that the Taoist sect was in great prosperity during the Tang Dynasty. He also knows more about the development of Taoism over the years. Although he is not a Taoist, but after being exposed to it for so many years, he knows more about Taoism than many people in Taoism.
He followed the old Taoist slowly and casually all the time. Even though the old Taoist was unpredictable and profound, the man in black was not weak at all. In an instant, he suddenly felt that the old Taoist's aura had changed, because he found that the old Taoist around him was different and seemed to have undergone major changes.
This is an inexplicable feeling, as if a person has been in front of you, wandering like you, and suddenly he washes his face and appears with new life. This feeling is very strange. It is obvious that the old man is still the same old man, but it feels a little different.
He also keenly felt the difference in the environment around him. It seemed that the air around him was gathering and solidifying around the two people, and then countless tiny qi machines with fresh life gathered happily towards this side.
Suddenly, I discovered something different about the old Taoist. The old Taoist who had always been ordinary seemed to have a high-altitude aura about him, but this kind of aura made people feel very close. Naturally, others cannot see this situation, but as a master who has been practicing for decades, the man in black stands beside the old Taoist and will not miss anything.
With the sharp perception of the man in black, he seemed to see circles of colorful halos all over and around Lao Dao. This kind of halo actually has a range of about one meter, and then the lively energy around him is swimming happily towards the halo around Lao Dao. The halo seemed to absorb these qi and glowed even more dazzlingly. Just like a hot person who suddenly feels the coolness in the air, he greedily sucks in this endless nutrition.
As a master who has been practicing for many years, the man in black naturally understood what this difference meant, and he couldn't help but close his eyes slightly. He could sense the eyes from all directions immediately, and he could sense even the movement in Yuzhou city far away. And in the air, many dazzling Qi machines are gathering here quickly.
However, when he arrived in front of him, it seemed as if time had stopped and then materialized. He slowly began to swim around with Lao Dao as the center. This kind of swimming is invisible to the naked eye. Even a master of the level of the man in black can only feel that this kind of energy is moving slowly, and slowly the colorful halo on the old man's body also starts to move.
As this multicolored halo slowly swam, it seemed that the Qi was gradually divided into two thin colors, and these two thin colors actually slowly converged into a Yin and Yang Pisces. The man in black was so surprised that the hair all over his body opened when he saw the old Taoist standing there, smiling at him, or in other words, he was smiling at all living beings. Seeing this radiant old man gradually being surrounded by Yin and Yang Pisces, the man in black couldn't help but trembled.
Cultivation lies in perception, maybe on the road, maybe in the field, maybe on the top of a mountain, maybe in a deep valley, maybe even on the street. No one knows at which moment things will change. Some people even saw Zhang Xian flying away in the palace hall during the day in the Tang Dynasty. The man in black immediately understood, indicating that this environment made this veteran suddenly have a realization. Perhaps this realization has led to him having a deeper breakthrough in an instant.
The man in black knew that the man he saw was not an experienced person! It is the shadow of the old Taoist, which can also be said to be the Nascent Soul as Taoists call it. It turns out that not only had he reached the advanced cultivation level of turning Qi into form a long time ago, but he also seemed to have reached the supreme state of turning form into void in an instant!
Although the man in black was not sure, he felt the fresh energy from all directions and knew that the opportunity at this moment was rare. Not to mention the experience and experience of this kind of practice, this gathered energy is also an extremely rare nutrient in practice. He couldn't help but hold his breath and look inside the Qi meridians, and also absorbed the fresh Qi that was constantly flowing towards the old Taoist.
The two of them stood under an ancient pine tree here for a while, unaware that time passed by around them, and no one around them noticed. Who would look at two normal people? There are either busy people or indifferent people coming and going without paying attention. But as time flew by, some people still discovered something strange.
After reporting the situation, the people and soldiers from the City Patrol Department came over to take a look. However, some of the people in charge of the two departments still had some discernment. Seeing the appearance of the two people, they knew that they were not ordinary people, so they called Li Yuan, the boss of the City Patrol Division, to come over and take a look. Li Yuan had followed Xiao Qilang and Mr. Sun, and knew that these people in the world were strangers, so naturally he would not dare to disturb them.
Li Yuan ordered the people from the City Patrol Department to drive away some of the people watching the excitement, and asked a few people from the City Patrol Department to guard the two people from a distance to avoid disturbing them. The sky quickly darkened.
A pair of blazing little eyes from afar, lying beside the door of the wall made of stones, kept looking at Lao Tao and the man in black. It was the child to whom Lao Tao gave her steamed buns.
The Tang Dynasty was the most prosperous period of Taoism in the world, not only because the Li Dynasty named Lao Tzu as its ancestor, but it was also an era when Taoist doctrines emerged one after another, and many Taoist miracles were fulfilled.
However, by the end of the Tang Dynasty and the Five Dynasties, fifteen separatist forces had appeared in the world. Taoism appeared in almost every family. The separate forces of Fujian, Wuyue, Wu, Tang, Yan, and Shu all successively established Taoism as the state religion. Even today's Tang and Shuzhong still obey the Taoist sect.
Although the man in black was not a Taoist cultivator, he had gone from being unruly to being proud of the world, and his current status was enough to make the Taoists look at him with suspicion. But he did not dare to have the slightest objection to Taoism or look down upon Taoism.
Suddenly he came back to his senses and looked around and saw that the sky was already dark. A large number of torches were lit on the construction site, illuminating the construction site brightly. Many people are still busy, and a large amount of wood was produced during the day. At this time, it is time for another group of selected craftsmen to take action.
Yang Huai knew that time equals efficiency, and seizing time equals opportunities, so he strictly ordered Peng Quanqing to complete the task quickly. Peng Quanqing was so confident that he did not hesitate to spend a lot of copper coins and called on the people and refugees in Yuzhou City to complete this task together.
The man in black seemed to be very familiar with Yuzhou City. He quietly looked at the bright lights on the construction site and the people who were still busy, and silently said in his heart: "Is this Shuzhong going to change again?" But he couldn't help but look at the world-famous veteran next to him. The man in black seemed to have something more in his heart.
"Maybe!" The old Taoist's calm voice sounded in his ears.
At some point, he returned to his normal appearance, but he looked even more different. He looked at the man in black with a smile, picked up the wine bottle at his waist, and pulled off the lid with a pop. There was a strong aroma of wine, and he raised the pot to his lips and took a sip. "What a wine! What a wine! I never thought that a place as wild as Lingnan could produce such fine wine! It seems that the old Taoist will live in Lingnan in the future!"
He raised the pot and brought it to the man in black: "Brother Fushu, would you like to have a sip! I remember that there is a boy Qin Zhuang in your family, and he has a good drinker! I wonder what his cultivation level is now!"
"To be honest, Qin Zhuang is my brother-in-law. I am worried about Master Lao. His cultivation level has greatly improved compared to the past. Now he is in charge of the punishment of a certain family in the sect. But he used to be in Dali. I accidentally offended the Wan Sheng Fairy, and I was seriously injured at the hands of the Fairy. In order to suppress the injury, I searched everywhere for medicine, and now I must be in Yongzhou, Chu Land!"
The man in black, with his calm and calm look, is actually the current generation master of the Hell Sect, Qin Que, who is known as the hell-seeking Yama in the world. The disciples of the Hell Sect have always called themselves the Holy Sect. Although the sect leader is known as the Ghost Emperor, the King of Hell is also a god, which shows that the Hell Sect is not a treacherous and evil person. However, most of the disciples within the sect were nicknamed ghost names, and they all lived in Fengdu, so they were always called Hell Gate in the world.
"Fairy Halloween! That's a master who is not easy to mess with. That brother of yours is very nice. Next time I meet him, I will drag him to drink for a few days. Yongzhou, Yongzhou, by the way, the old Taoist remembered it. I seem to have heard that That old antique from the Xiaoyao Sect has also come out, I’m afraid,,,,,, I’m afraid it would be fun to run into him!”
Qin Que's eyebrows wrinkled for the first time, and he looked at the old Taoist again: "The real person is in charge of the largest sect in the world, and he and the Xiaoyao sect came out of the same sect, and they are also in the Tang Kingdom. He should know the Xiaoyao sect very well, but I don't know them. Are we still Taoists today?"
"Of course it's still Taoism, otherwise how could the junior from the Xiaoyao Sect sit in the palace. There are many Taoists in the Tang Dynasty, but what is gratifying is that although each school has different opinions, there are no similar differences in practice. The old Taoist has summarized for many years, and there are at least two Big direction!" The old Taoist still looked calm, and looked at the man in black and said: "This time it has something to do with the Taoist family. Many Taoist friends who have not seen each other for many years have come out. Not long ago, I suddenly received Fayu from the Taoist Master. We have made an appointment to meet at Jinyun Mountain Baiyun Temple!"
"This is really rare! If a certain family is not a Taoist, otherwise I would really want to join in the fun!"
"Don't go!" The old Taoist laughed out loud: "Back then, you were in the north and fought in all directions with great majesty. However, you offended many people from the Nine Yang Sect. Haichanzi's bull-nosed man couldn't bend a muscle, but I must still be worried about you! I don’t want to watch you fight there for days and nights!"
Qin Que also laughed heartily, thinking back to the time when he was a strong warrior, but it seemed like yesterday!
The sea of clouds is billowing and the morning sun is shining brightly.
The sea of clouds in the sky is like a dream, and the rising red clouds are like a beautiful picture, which makes people yearn for it.
Looking at the vast clouds in the distance, the white clouds are like dogs playing, galloping, like immortals soaring into the sky, like dragons returning to the sea, it is really dizzying to see all kinds of strange things!
Shi Zhenren, who had always been casual and informal, now looked as if he was dozens of years younger.
Facing the morning glow and Ruiyun, he actually stood at the edge of the cliff with his hands behind his back, tall and elegant, and there was an abyss beneath the cliff. He had a leisurely expression and his eyes were quietly admiring the beauty of nature. The morning breeze blew up from the bottom of the cliff and gently blew his clothes and clothes, and you could see his clothes and clothes flying around, as if they were dancing gracefully like a fairy.
His pair of phoenix eyes, which seemed to be open and yet closed, were actually facing the red sun quietly, as if he wanted to see through the red sun and see the essence inside. Even if the sun has just risen, it is not particularly dazzling, but it is not something that ordinary people can bear.
The red sun filled his eyes, but he seemed to have nothing to do, quietly watching the sun turn red little by little. The sun slowly revealed a small part of its body, half hidden and half exposed behind the steaming white clouds. Then gradually he saw half of his face, and the surrounding sky was completely reflected in red. When the sun popped out, the entire sea of clouds was already glowing with glow. It seemed that the entire sea of clouds was dyed red by the sunlight. It looked like the white clouds turned into a deep red blood color, and then gradually turned bright red, and the light was not something ordinary people could look at.
Master Shi was still standing there. His entire body seemed to be bathed in gold, and half of his body was soaked in sunlight. Looking at his body from behind, it seemed that his whole body was filled with rays of light. Looking at his body facing the sun, it turned golden for an instant.
If ordinary people saw such a strange phenomenon at this moment, they would definitely shout that it was a god coming to the world. Shi Zhenren, as if he was unaware of it, stood calmly and calmly facing the breeze.
On the cliff platform on this side, there is a space of five or six feet in radius. This is the top of Jinyun Mountain. Jinyun Mountain at this time was five or six hundred meters higher than what Liu Jixing saw in later generations, and there were two connected peaks. The top of the mountain is not a flat stone platform, but it also has a reassuring top view.
At this time, on the platform at the top of the mountain, not far behind Zhenren Shi, there were actually several people standing or sitting staggered.
Sitting sideways on a large flat stone on one side is a Taoist priest with bare feet and a beard. He has black hair and a boyish face, but the long beard under his chin is mixed with black and white. He also stands solemnly on the side, standing on the left side of Zhenren Shi. Not far away, a tall figure in a fluttering gown is a Taoist priest in Taoist attire with a long sword on his back. Next to him is a Taoist priest standing with his hands behind his back, looking at the sky as well. He has a chubby face and is full of eyes. Wearing straw sandals and wearing a green shirt, he has the same childish face, but he looks handsome and handsome. He is a cultivator who can defeat the swordsman. What is strange is that he is holding a little girl with pink makeup and jade, who looks to be no more than four or five years old. His appearance is very endearing; there is also a thin old Taoist who looks at Master Shi respectfully, and stands side by side with a thin scholar on the edge of the cliff behind Master Shi's right side.
Seeing Master Shi quietly looking at the sky, the sun has risen after a long time. The clear old Taoist behind him looked at the sky, and finally opened his mouth and said: "Master, the time has come, and several senior Taoist friends have arrived one after another! Invite Master Respect the heavens!" This old Taoist who looks older than Master Shi is actually a disciple of Master Shi.
Master Shi, who had been motionless, suddenly seemed to move, and then you could see that his eyes, which had been half-open and half-closed, suddenly closed. After a while, the pair of phoenix eyes finally opened slowly.
