No matter where he was, Zhang Yongde had a strong interest in this handsome man, and he almost couldn't wait to know everything about this distant place.
And, what is the connection between this man and the things happening around him?
So he came over in person to close the distance and invited the man to sit down.
"Pindao has never seen him, but yesterday Tao Zun sent a real person to tell him during his free time yesterday that the discussion on Taoism in Jinyun Mountain has ended. All cultivators have their own views on the way of heaven and the general trend of the world, although they are still not unified. , but basically decided not to interfere in worldly affairs!" Zhang Suqing looked calm, regardless of the excitement in the eyes of the man in black.
"After the discussion, Master Zuixian Zixiao accidentally mentioned that he had met Qin Que in Yuzhou. This king of hell who used to laugh proudly at the Central Plains is said to have reached the stage of refining gods and returning to the void."
Tianshi Tao has heavy swords since ancient times, and there has always been a saying in the sect that the King of Swords is the king. Although there are titles such as Demon Sword, Divine Sword, Sword Immortal, and Overlord Sword in the world, there will always be only the Sword King in Tianshi Dao.
Although the lifespan and length of life of each generation of sword kings are different, there is no doubt that each generation of sword kings is the leader of the world. When I first heard about the Sword King, I was still surprised, because in the nearly fifty years since Tianshi Dao's generation, there has been no Sword King.
The main reason for this comes from this generation of Zhang Celestial Master Zhang Bingyi, because this Celestial Master has been a prodigy since he was a child, and he was respected as a swordsman at a young age.
But at that time, Zhang Bingyi had not yet become a Celestial Master of Celestial Master Dao. His title later became an embarrassment to Celestial Master Dao.
Because before he became a Celestial Master, he was already called the Sword Immortal by his peers in the world. Later, after traveling around the world, he returned to Longhu Mountain to take over, and naturally became the best swordsman in the Celestial Master Way.
Naturally, those who are of the same generation as him, or even one generation above him, dare not call themselves sword kings. At that time, Tianshi Dao also had several fellow disciples who were extremely accomplished in swordsmanship. However, seeing that Zhang Bingyi was already known as the Sword Immortal at such a young age, he had no nerve to call him the Sword King again.
Since then, the Sword King in Tianshi Dao Sect has been vacant for decades.
Zhang Bingyi himself was naturally helpless about this, and hoped that someone could inherit the mantle of the previous sword king. Unfortunately, because of himself, many outstanding disciples in the sect have been unable to leave in seclusion since then.
This secret was originally known to many disciples of the Celestial Master's Way, but as decades passed, those who knew the secret died one after another, and some of the people who retired to seclusion back then, many younger generations did not know.
Therefore, in recent years, many disciples have even forgotten that there is a sword king in Tianshi Dao.
As a direct disciple of Zhang Tianshi Zhang Bingyi, he was loved by his master Linghe Sword, and even more valued by his master Zhang Bingyi. This was a secret that was not a secret in Tianshi Dao back then. Naturally, I heard Zhang Bingyi mention it.
Because Zhang Bing has not had contact with outsiders for many years, but because of the unpredictable changes in the current situation, he has never retreated from his status as a heavenly master.
After all, in the Southern Tang Dynasty, Tianshi Mansion and Longhu Mountain were respected by the Southern Tang Dynasty. It was because the emperor once dreamed of Tianshi Zhang Bingyi.
As long as Zhang Bingyi is around, Tianshi Dao's status in the Southern Tang Dynasty will never be shaken.
Accompanied by Li Yuancheng, Zhang Tianshi, who seemed to be in his twenties, tall and tall, slowly walked over with his hands behind his back. He has eyebrows on his temples, phoenix eyes and dragon eyes, and he doesn't even have a beard. However, his slightly smiling eyes were full of wisdom and experience, showing a different feeling from his appearance.
The disciples on both sides of the corridor had been notified and had already prepared to welcome him. At this time, when they saw the true form of the Heavenly Master, they all bowed respectfully and saluted. Zhang Tianshi seemed relatively easy-going, nodding and greeting everyone as he walked by. But there were still people who couldn't help but be curious and looked up at this patriarch who had been famous for nearly a hundred years.
After seeing Zhang Tianshi's true appearance, everyone was slightly dazed at first. If Li Yuancheng hadn't accompanied him respectfully, everyone would have thought this young man was a liar. However, after careful reflection, it turns out that it is indeed the same as the portrait hanging in the hall with the fairy roof, a majestic and friendly face at times, and a pair of eyes with wisdom and vicissitudes of life.
Zhang Tianshi has not been to Tianmu Mountain for many years, and many disciples have never seen his true body, but his arrival is undoubtedly the greatest glory of Tianmu Mountain. Many people usually say that they are disciples of Tianshi Dao, but they all know that this is not Longhu Mountain, so many disciples feel that they are shorter than others. Today we finally saw the Patriarch, and everyone truly felt that they were truly disciples of the Celestial Master Tao.
Next to Zhang Tianshi on the right is a young man with gray hair on his temples who looks very young. He was wearing a black Taoist robe, which made him look handsome and handsome. He seemed to be half a head taller than Zhang Tianshi. However, he was half a body behind and did not dare to go beyond Zhang Tianshi's side.
Li Yuancheng, who is accompanying him on the left, looks more mature than Zhang Tianshi and this man in black robe and white temples. However, as he has improved over the years, his originally middle-aged appearance now looks younger and younger. This not only shows his understanding of the way of heaven, but also shows his increasing level of improvement.
Chen Zhongfu hurriedly came over and saluted: "Hello, Master Patriarch!"
"Well! You are Zhongfu!" Zhang Tianshi stood at the door and looked at Chen Zhongfu slowly. A pair of smiling eyes seemed to be able to see through. As his gaze moved, the corners of Li Yuancheng's eyes trembled slightly.
"Returning to the ancestor, my disciple is Chen Zhongfu!" Although the man in front of him is much younger than himself, Chen Zhongfu knows that Zhang Tianshi has passed his 100th birthday, and he is really respectful and does not dare to be disrespectful at all.
"Not bad, um, not bad!" Zhang Tianshi didn't know why he suddenly turned his head and glanced at the man in black next to him. The man understood, but his face was calm and he looked at Chen Zhongfu closely. But Tianshi Zhang looked at Li Yuancheng again: "Yuancheng, you have been doing too many worldly things in Tianmu Mountain these years, so you should concentrate on practicing from now on!"
Although Li Yuancheng was a little happy, when he saw Master Zhang Tianshi looking at Chen Zhongfu, he couldn't help but feel a little bit in his heart. When he was feeling uneasy, the master's voice sounded in his ears again: "Too many secular thoughts are not conducive to practice! Look at Zhongfu Well, the opportunity I got this time is not bad! From now on, all matters in Tianmu Mountain will be left to him!" Li Yuancheng, who was a little uneasy at first, couldn't hold back his surprise when he heard his master say this.
Chen Zhongfu has been in charge for more than ten years, but has never been appointed to Longhu Mountain. Today Master Zhang came in person, accompanied by the elders of the Tianshi Mansion and the elders of Tianmu Mountain. Upon hearing Zhang Tianshi's personal appointment, Chen Zhongfu was naturally excited and quickly stepped forward and knelt down to worship.
However, Zhang Tianshi lifted up Chen Zhongfu with a flick of his sleeves, looked at the fear and excitement on Chen Zhongfu's face with a smile, and said lightly: "In the past, you kept silent, but this time you got such an opportunity, it seems that it is Longhushan has ignored your talent!"
When Zhang Tianshi said this, Li Yuancheng said he didn't dare. He could see that Zhang Tianshi was complimenting him.
