"Tao Zun is worthy of being a master in the world. He is so elegant! He never forgets to practice!"
The Taoist who carried the sword had the temperament of a scholar. He looked elegant and otherworldly. He walked over slowly with a smile in his eyes. Master Shi slowly turned around, and when he saw this negative swordsman, he smiled slightly with his phoenix eyes, saluted him and said, "Brother Dongbin, I haven't seen him for many years, and his style is even better than before!" He then looked at the other four people here. He looked at it and said, "Brothers, follow the old Taoist to the thatched cottage to have a look and let us know!"
After saying that, I saw him walking to the edge of a cliff, and actually jumped down the cliff. His clothes were fluttering, which was surprising. If anyone else saw it, they would be scared out of their wits, because the clouds and mist under the cliff make it look like it is bottomless.
Seeing Master Shi's strange behavior, no one seemed to care. They also came over and looked at the deep cliff with calm expressions.
Then I heard a clear and crisp sound of cranes coming from the bottom of the cliff, approaching from far away. In the blink of an eye, I saw a huge white-feathered and black-winged crane rising into the sky from the bottom of the cliff, scattering the clouds and mist all over the sky. It circled gracefully in the air, turned around and let out a long cry before landing on the protruding rocks beside everyone.
It seems that this crane is as tall as an adult and half the size of an ordinary crane. It must be a strange species from the Outer Fairyland. Its deep black iron mouth, which is more than a foot long when closed, is like a sharp pointed drill. When it is opened, the mouth is cracked, like a scary big iron scissors. It had a pair of big black eyes that looked at everyone, and nodded to everyone as if it was proficient in human language.
"Xianhe Wenyu is an old friend of the Taoist priest who has been with us for decades. He is extremely knowledgeable about people's thoughts. Fellow Taoists, you can follow his path and come down to the thatched hut with your disciple Hunyuan!" Master Shi's clear voice came from under the cliff. The voice was as calm as a whisper in the ear.
Then I saw Hun Yuanzi, a disciple of Master Shi, taking the lead to open the way and jump down from the cliff. These people are all masters who have never been born in this world, and they all followed this old Taoist, who was called Hun Yuanzi by Shi Zhenren. And the round-faced Taoist actually hugged the cute little girl with one hand, and followed him easily with his sleeves fluttering.
Everyone fell only seven or eight meters, and they all concentrated their energy. They could actually let their bodies float in the air. They stood still and slowly saw the surrounding shapes, and then slowly fell down one by one like Hunyuanzi. First, we landed on a narrow cliff that was no more than a meter wide. There were actually vines growing on the surrounding cliffs, unlike the bare ones above. Then I saw a stone cliff with a width of more than a foot, and slowly led down along the cliff. The clouds and mist below were endless.
The old Taoist Qinghui Hunyuanzi took the lead, and he also had long sleeves fluttering with fairy-like Taoist bones. The crane on the side spread its wings, like a fairyland coming to the world. Hunyuanzi walked along the edge of the stone cliff as if walking on flat ground.
As everyone walked with him for a while, the cliff became more and more weird and rugged. Some places are less than a foot wide, and everything you pass is either jumping or falling, and the places you land on are extremely difficult-to-find protrusions on the cliff, which ordinary people would not even dare to think about.
After walking down for nearly a hundred meters, the fog became even heavier, and I couldn't even see what was going on below. These people are all masters of spiritual practice in this world. Who is not a master of art and bold? After walking about ten meters further, I saw an ancient pine growing in a crevice on a sloping wall in front of me.
This ancient pine with various shapes and shapes has no idea where its roots go, but it grows steadily on the cliff. It looks like it is as big as two people hugging each other. Hunyuanzi, an old Taoist from Qingzhuo, walked straight to a drooping pine branch. He first jumped in a few steps, starting from the thick trunk of the tree root. As nimble as an ape, he stood on a branch as thick as three fingers. The branch had already reached down into the clouds and mist under the cliff, making it impossible to see where it was going.
Unexpectedly, Hunyuanzi didn't hesitate, looked back at everyone and signaled, and then jumped down gently along the branch. And the strange giant crane also let out a long cry and plunged into the clouds.
"Gentlemen, Mo Yuzi is not talented, how about taking a step forward to find the way for everyone!" The scribe who had been standing next to Hunyuanzi suddenly raised his hands to everyone and gestured politely. He had not been conspicuous at first, but now standing on the edge of the cliff, looking at his fluttering clothes, he looked majestic and extraordinary.
"It's so well deserved, fellow Taoist, please go first!" The Taoist with a negative sword, whom Master Shi called Brother Dongbin, politely returned the greeting to the scribe.
The Taoist with a round face and a child in his arms chuckled and said, "That's a great blessing! Fifty years ago in Yunmeng Mountain, I saw the respected master Mr. Gui Gu perform the "Starfall Technique". It is said that this technique is an expensive one." The most profound stunts in the "Seven Skills of Yin Fu" are a feast for the eyes of today's veteran Taoists. They have not seen them for decades. The "Celebrity Strange Art List" compiled by fellow Taoists is very famous in the world. I believe that fellow Taoists are better than others. It’s blue!”
"The real person is ridiculous!" the scribe replied calmly, not at all moved by the praise given to him by this famous figure in the world. Instead, he bowed his hands to everyone and stepped forward. In a blink of an eye, he also jumped into the vast clouds and mist.
It turns out that this person is actually Mo Yuzi, who is famous in the world. He has been a dragon in the world for decades. The high-rollers in the martial arts world are willing to challenge and fight everywhere just to get a comment and praise from him. People in the world have mixed opinions about him, but not many people have seen him. Now his disciple, Old Man Mojing, is already famous, but it is unbelievable that he is just an ordinary scribe.
Unexpectedly, even with his reputation, he was still polite in front of these people. Presumably these people were not ordinary people.
After everyone fell down one after another, they realized that after entering the clouds and mist, they had fallen only four or five meters away, and it was suddenly clear below. As soon as you look at it, you can see that this is a small rocky platform several meters wide. Although there are some plants, they are just some small shrubs.
The platform here is only about ten meters high, and below it is another platform covering an area of about two acres. On the platform below, there were actually green grass, ancient trees, and even rare birds and animals. Everyone couldn't help but secretly admire it, what a miniature world!
This platform is close to the edge of the cliff, and a stone step has been manually cut out. It is only a foot narrow, hidden among vines and shrubs, and winds down to the platform below.
On the left hand side of the platform where everyone had landed, there was an ancient pine surrounded by several people. The huge ancient pine almost covered a quarter of the platform below, and it stood tall and fascinating. There are only a small part of the pine tree, and the side next to the platform has withered, revealing the gray and bare branches. There are two people on one side, surrounded by thick and thin branches, but they are full of life, with diagonal and flat branches stretching down to cover it, like a huge umbrella. There is also a floating branch of the ancient pine, which stretches windingly into the clouds and mist below the cliff.
At this time, under the cover of the ancient pine branches, there were two small pine trees that were not tall, stretching out like a welcoming guest. There were a few low stones beside the pine tree, and a stream of water flowed around the trees and stones. Shi Zhenren was standing beside a flat stone, with a teapot and several teacups placed on the stone.
The two cute fairy deer were no bigger than lambs and seemed completely unafraid of people. They were grazing and playing leisurely beside Zhenren Shi. The huge crane was also standing next to Master Shi, stretching its neck and looking around from time to time, as if it was particularly close to the deer. Seeing everyone slowly walking down the stone steps, I couldn't help but spread my wings and scream, as if to welcome everyone. What’s delightful is that there are colorful birds everywhere, many of which are even unnamed.
Master Shi stood under the ancient pine tree with his hands behind his back, his linen clothes lightly fluttering, showing an indescribable simplicity and elegance. The huge iron-billed crane next to him was very popular. From time to time it spread its wings next to him, and brushed his back with its wings, as if it was singing peace with Zhenren Shi.
Everyone came over. The old man with a black and white beard saw a big flat stone under the ancient pine and next to the dwarf pine. He ignored Master Shi and the others, fell down on it and fell asleep again, as if in a daze. Never wake up from sleep.
Master Shi was silent with a slight smile in his eyes. He looked at the old Taoist lying there on the stone, seemingly awake. There was no trace of urgency in his eyes, but a slight smile.
A thin mountain spring flows down from a cliff and gathers on the platform below, forming a small pool of several meters. The mountain spring in the small pool twists and turns on the platform, bypassing the ancient pines and rocks, and finally falls. Go down the cliff to the side.
Gurgling mountain springs, ancient pines and cranes, clouds and cranes, it is a beautiful scene of ancient cultivation by immortals.
"Tu Nan's Hidden Dragon Technique has become more and more profound! It is also inherited from the Taoist lineage. I'm afraid Tunan's cultivation in this technique has surpassed that of the old Taoist Brother Mai and you!" Dong Bin, who was carrying the sword, said The Taoist had a little more approval in his eyes. He looked at the sleepy old Taoist and signaled to Master Shi again.
"Tu Nan is a rare talent that the Taoist sect can only encounter in a thousand years!" Shi Zhenren said with certainty, and then looked at his apprentice, the old Taoist Hunyuanzi, and saw him walking towards the artificially carved cave on the cliff nearby, and clicked. He nodded and raised his hands to everyone: "Brother Dongbin, Brother Jingsheng, and Taoist friend Mo Yuzi, you are so polite!" He did not look at the sleeping Taoist, as if he was really asleep, and only looked at the Taoist priest. Several people came to greet me.
"Don't dare!" Taoist Fu Jiandong Bin and the round-faced Taoist holding the child actually returned the greeting, but Mo Yuzi took half a step sideways and did not greet Master Shi. Instead, he saluted Master Shi. A gift.
The little girl in the hands of the round-faced Taoist looked closely at Master Shi, as if he was hesitant to speak.
But the round-faced Taoist saw that the little girl was about to come down, so he couldn't help but put her down gently. Even Shi Zhenren looked over curiously, looking at the little girl with pink makeup and beautiful hair with a smile. Who knew that the little girl actually ran over and said politely to Master Shi: "Grandpa, your deer are so beautiful, can I chat with them!" It was obvious that she was not an ordinary child, and she didn't know. Why did you follow the round-faced Taoist?
Master Shi looked at the two fawns beside him. They did not run away because of everyone's arrival. Looking at the serious look of the little girl, he couldn't help but laugh and said: "Of course, you can talk to them, but you have to Tell Grandpa what your name is!"
"Wuniang, grandpa, my name is Wei Wuniang!" She looked at Zhenren Shi's amiable look, and couldn't help but look at the round-faced Taoist, and said seriously: "Grandpa will teach Wuniang Taoism, and make the world like Wuniang's family in the future. In this kind of family, no one will go hungry and they will have food to eat!" She said seriously in a milky voice.
She didn't know what she suddenly remembered, and her eyes suddenly became wet. Although there were tears in her eyes, they did not flow out. Because Zhenren Shi had personally brought the two deer over, one of the deer actually licked the little girl's face. The little girl giggled and happily followed the two fairy deer and played all the way.
The round-faced Taoist looked at Master Shi and the little girl indifferently. He was obviously the Taoist who met the Ghost Emperor Qin Que, the master of the Hell Sect, outside Yuzhou City. He is a famous contemporary monk, whose nickname is Jingsheng, and is known as Zhenren Zixiao. He is the founder of the Five Thunder Zhengfa Sect in the contemporary era. He is an unparalleled Taoist master and is known as Drunken Immortal Tan Qiao.
"I'm not hungry, I'm not hungry!" Shi Zhenren actually put his hands behind his hands and looked at the sky. There were clouds and mist above his head, and the sun could be seen in the distance. He muttered to himself, then looked at Taoist Dongbin who was looking at him and said: "Brother Dongbin is known to the world as the Immortal Lu Dongbin. Nowadays, there are good strategies for everything in this world!"
It turned out that the Taoist with the sword was actually the famous immortal Lu Dongbin in later generations. At this time, he, Zhenren Shi and Zhong Liquan were collectively known as the three great loose immortals in the world, and they were the real immortals in the world.
"People in the world say that I can use my sword to take people's heads, but I show it to you, which is not fair. Looking at the various ways in the world, I have three swords now, which are even better than the "Tian Escape Sword Technique" taught by True Lord Fire Dragon back then. Nothing less. It should be mentioned to all of you. One sword can cut off the worries of ignorance, two swords can remove the anger of ignorance, and three swords can take away the greed of ignorance!" Lu Dongbin looked at Master Shi with a faint smile: "These are the only three kinds. Only then can we help the world wake up and bring peace to the world!"
Master Shi actually closed his eyes slightly, seeming to be meditating on Lu Dongbin's words.
On the other hand, Tan Qiao said: "Master Chunyang said great kindness! But I don't know how to use the three swords mentioned by Master Chunyang in this world now, and when to use them!" He looked at Lu Dongbin with a half-smile but not a smile: "You won't go into battle to kill enemies and eliminate demons in person like Taoist Hai Chan!"
The Haichanzi he was talking about was the master of the Nine Yang Sect. In order to promote the great road, he actually became the prime minister of the Yan Kingdom with the intention of unifying the mountains and rivers. Later, due to an accident, he was eventually destroyed by the Central Plains. And this Haichanzi was transferred by Zhong Liquan, and Lu Dongbin also taught him the way of alchemy. He and Lu Dongbin could be said to be both teachers and friends.
Although Tan Qiao was born in Fujian, he was treated favorably by the Southern Tang Dynasty. Even now, the main altar of Zhengfa Sect is still in Lushan Mountain of the Southern Tang Dynasty. Although there is no conflict between Tan Qiao and Hai Chanzi in the south and north, they obviously still have differences for their own Taoism.
Lu Dongbin didn't care. His cultivation time was no shorter than that of Master Shi. But Shi Zhenren was a genius, and when he was in Houliang, he was already recognized as the supreme master of the Taoist sect. Lu Dongbin couldn't help but look at Zhenren Shi and said with a smile: "I guess Tao Zun has a good plan!"
"Tunan is not only unmatched in his Hidden Dragon Skill, but also his "Turtle Mirror" technique is no worse than Lao Tao's "Heaven Appreciation Technique". Due to the cycle of heaven, Lao Tao missed his ascension to Mount Luofu and traveled around the world. What he saw was Here, the people's hearts are eager to return, and the people's hearts are yearning to return. However, how dare an old Taoist person make false assertions, so he called all Taoist friends to come here, each to express his own opinions and make suggestions, to guide this chaotic world! It also allowed Taoism to revitalize the Taoist principles. Now Haichanzi I haven’t arrived with Xiangu yet, so I don’t know what Tunan saw in his dream!”
He looked at the Taoist who had been sleeping on the stone. This Taoist was named Tunan, known as Fuyaozi, and was a true source of Bozhou. Chen Tuan, known as the Sleeping Immortal in the world, is the leader and founder of the contemporary Huashan Sect, and is as famous as the Drunk Immortal Tan Qiao. He is also a disciple of the Earth Immortal He Changyi in the late Tang Dynasty.
Chen Tuan sat there and listened to Master Shi's words, but he didn't say a word. The eyes with a leisurely look were half closed and half open, seeming to be looking at the sky quietly. Through the pine branches and old trees, you can see a few floating clouds and a brilliant sky. But he remained motionless, half-lying on the blue stone, looking like a stone statue.
The few people here are all masters of contemporary practice. Each of them has experienced decades or even hundreds of years of practice along the way. The patience to wait is naturally there, not to mention that if Master Shi speaks out about this matter, it seems that it will definitely affect the future of the world.
Although everyone here can say that they have the ability to dominate the world independently, everyone also knows that the future of the world is not decided by one person. Even though Chen Tuan thinks that his fortune-telling skills are the best in the world, among these people, no one is worse than himself.
When it comes to Zhenren Shi, Chen Tuan knows that although he has learned a lot and is a member of three Taoist schools, he was once a fellow disciple of Chen Tuan, Tan Qiao's master He Changyi, and Taoist Mai Yi. However, later, Shi Zhenren got the mantle of Daoyin Baiyunzi, inherited the position of the master of Maoshan Sect of Shangqing Sect, and became the supreme Taoist sect in the world.
Even Zhong Liquan, who had mentored Master Shi, was one of the Three Sages of the Taoist Sect in the late Tang Dynasty, and had no choice but to respect Master Shi as the supreme master of the Taoist sect. Because among all Taoist schools in the world, only the "Tai Sheng Xuan Jing" is the method that guides practice. The "Tao De Jing" derives all the methods of the Shang Qing sect, and they are all in the Shang Qing sect.
Even Luqiu Fangyuan, one of the three Taoist saints in the late Tang Dynasty who also received the "Shangqing Si Zhen Divine Refining Edict", had to reject his title of Taoist Master after learning that Shi Zhenren had inherited Baiyunzi's Taoist lineage. Yuhang Dadi Cave, ran to see Master Shi's legal system.
Although each lineage later had its own fate, Master Shi was ultimately the supreme Taoist master of the contemporary era, and this was not a fate that ordinary people could obtain.
But Zhenren Shi himself didn't care. At that time, the various channels were not harmonious and separated, and they each developed their own practice. In the beginning, Master Shi still acted as a mediator between various families. Later, the chaos in the world became even worse, and Master Shi even dispersed his expertise. It is said that he has been focusing on his ascension in the past few decades. If he were to study divination in depth, he would be far superior to himself, so Chen Tuan did not dare to be careless or negligent at all.
Although he didn't seem to care, Chen Tuan heard Master Shi's words clearly.
What's more, Master Shi, who has been practicing for hundreds of years, is not an ordinary Taoist monk. He is a stranger who has transcended life and death. Chen Tuan has naturally seen that he, his fellow Taoist teacher, has long transcended the framework of secular practice.
For fellow cultivators, especially those who have considerable experience in spiritual practice, anyone should be cautious in front of Master Shi. Regardless of status, everyone understands the principle that the wise come first, so everyone will be more cautious and will be cautious about Master Shi's words.
Even though Chen Tuan has a prominent status and is famous in Wudang Mountain from the beginning, and even becomes a famous monk in the south, I am afraid that in the eyes of the world at this time, he is more famous than Zhenren Shi, but Chen Tuan knows that false fame is useless for cultivation. .
He later took the initiative to go to Huashan and founded the Huashan sect in Yuntaiguan. Many people suspected that he was interested in Meng Chang from Shu, so many knowledgeable people went to Shu, thinking that Shu was extremely powerful. He hopes to unify the world, which shows Chen Tuan's influence in the world now.
Because the Sleeping Fairy Chen Tuan is famous all over the world for his divination technique "Turtle Mirror", his intentions will naturally determine the general trend of the world, so even if Chen Tuan himself keeps silent, he will not show up easily. Because he has this skill and magic, he is even more responsible for the world. However, he knew in his heart that Zhenren Shi's research in this area was probably far better than his own.
Because practitioners usually visit everywhere, his identity has become bizarre. However, his status as the founder of the contemporary Huashan Sect is enough to make him famous in the world of cultivation for generations to come. Everyone looked at Chen Tuan's figure quietly, waiting for his answer.
The glow is really bright.
The crane raised its neck and roared several times!
Harmony seems to be coming from the mountains and the sky!
At the end of the sky full of morning glow and painted red, everyone had extraordinary eyesight and saw a few fairy birds flying over from a distance. At first it seemed like embellishments on a painting, but gradually it became clearer, and gradually you could see the rhythm and beauty of the wings of a fairy bird.
Everyone here has extraordinary eyesight. From a distance, they can see that what is flying over is a huge vulture, and a huge crane that is almost completely white with only some black wings.
What surprised everyone was that there were two people sitting on the backs of these two huge fairy birds.
"Haha, Haichanzi and Xiangu are here! With all of you fellow Taoists working together to figure out the general trend, Taoist Master, the world will be settled from now on!"
Chen Tuan seemed to wake up suddenly, his eyes half-opened and half-closed, and he suddenly spoke.
