In this state with almost no martial arts to rely on, both Liao Kong and Fan Qinghui knew that as long as Zhao Qing casually attacked with two moves while maintaining his strange aura, they would only end up defeated. They understood that they had underestimated the enemy. My heart was filled with regret, and it was difficult to think of resistance.
However, when the sound of Qingyue's flute came over, although the two people were blocked by the "color and space" field, they still had a mysterious feeling. They felt that a warm current seemed to flow out of the depths of their hearts, pouring into their hearts. In the womb of Buddha nature and immortality that was about to lose its support, the spirit was revived.
Is Brother Ning Dao here? Is he capable of rescuing us both? Wouldn't you be trapped in the enemy's strange aura instead?
Their confidence was completely defeated by Zhao Qing in a short period of time. Liao Kong and Fan Qinghui felt that even though two of their own were trying to contain the enemy's aura output, the great master Ning Daoqi alone would probably not be her opponent.
But to their surprise, as the sound of the flute gradually approached, the unpredictable and strange aura seemed to slowly fade away in their perception, allowing them to regain the function of their senses and break free from the suppressed situation. .
The world suddenly changed, returning from a chaotic lake to a state of light and color. The statue of Manjushri Bodhisattva, the White Stone Square, and even the entire Jing Nian Temple and the group of monks who fell to the ground were all reappeared.
When did brother Ning Dao's flute and sound skills become so powerful? Could it be that the enemy's power has finally reached its end and is unable to continue?
The thoughts in their minds disappeared in a flash. Liao Kong and Fan Qinghui looked at Zhao Qing who reappeared more than ten feet away and an old Taoist figure from the bell tower not far away. Without hesitation, he struck again, using all the unique skills he had mastered.
The Mantra Seal, Bodhidharma Hands, Biangan Sword Technique, Demon Subduing Seal, Immortal Roaring Technique...all the extremely mysterious magical skills were displayed to the fullest.
…
Sensing that Kong and Fan Qinghui's minds had been controlled by him, and fell into the illusion he created, Zhao Qing sighed softly, converged the unfolding aura field, concentrated it on the location of the two of them, and weaved Create various illusions to discover more essences in "Cihang Sword Code" and "Jing Nian Zen Book".
At the same time, she raised her head slightly and looked at a large bell tower between two pagodas that protruded from the tile roofs of the temples covered with colorful glazed buildings. Because next to the huge clock in the center of the building, there was an old man named E Guanbo.
This man has five long beards, an elegant and simple face, and is wearing a thick brocade robe, which makes his taller than ordinary figure even more majestic. He is putting away a long flute in his hand and looking up at the magnificent night sky. It has the air of a reclusive hermit.
The sound of the flute suddenly subsided, but the lingering sound still lingered, forming a strange resonance with the gigantic bell next to it, resounding in people's hearts.
"'San Zhenren' Ning Daoqi?" Zhao Qing had already confirmed the cultivation level of the visitor from Xiaoyin. Zhao Qing knew that the other party was Ning Daoqi, the great martial arts master of the Taoist sect at that time, and he had probably discovered from a distance that Jingnian Temple had fallen into a strange situation. In a quiet situation, I came as quickly as possible to support one or two.
His eyes fell on Zhao Qing under the bell tower and the Heshi Bi in her hand. Ning Daoqi did not look anxious because Fan Qinghui and Liao Kong were completely lost. Instead, he smiled gently and elegantly, with an uncontested mood in his eyes. .
Looking into his eyes is like looking into another world that has nothing to do with this mundane world. It seems that it can remain in a mysterious and unpredictable level forever, and it contains a huge and unparalleled power.
His calm and elegant eyes exuded frankness, sincerity, and even a hint of childlike innocence. Matched with his elegant and slender face, he had an extraordinary charm, revealing his celestial demeanor of being indifferent to the world and pure and inactive.
Staring at Zhao Qing, whom he met for the first time, Ning Daoqi couldn't help but think of the evil emperor Xiang Yutian he had met in the past. He felt that the other party also gave him an unfathomable and unmatchable feeling, and sighed:
"There are people outside the world, and there is a sky outside the world. The girl's martial arts is so high that she was able to defeat the combined efforts of the Master of Brahma Zhai and the entire Jing Nian Temple in one battle. Although I am nearly a hundred years old, I am still far behind, so I will not force myself to take action. It’s humiliating.”
"But I don't know where the girl will go next and what she will do after she obtains He's Bi. And how are you going to deal with Master Fanzhai and Master Lokong? Do you want to be completely consistent with Buddhism? What about hostility?”
After rushing over, they found that Zhao Qing had just defeated two top masters whose cultivation was only half the level weaker than his own. Although Ning Daoqi felt that he should be able to escape from her hands, if there was a real fight, he didn't think he could. There was a slight chance of winning, so he decisively expressed his lack of hostility.
Glancing at the group of monks who were only slightly injured in Baishi Square, Ning Daoqi smiled bitterly and said: "Well, if I make the decision, I will not let the Buddhist and Taoist families cause any trouble for the girl in the future, nor will I take the initiative to promote the He family. Regarding the whereabouts of Bi, can we let them both go?"
Without replying directly, Zhao Qing looked at Ning Daoqi, who looked sincere, with a leisurely expression, and sighed softly: "Actually, there are still some troubles in provoking Jingzhai and Chanyuan, two prestigious forces. .”
"Even if the Buddhist and Taoist families deal with me without knowing it, all forces may attack me in groups after getting the news. Although I don't take it to heart, I don't think it is necessary to waste time dealing with such things. superior."
"Therefore, compared to your proposal from fellow Taoist Ning, I have a better plan here: that is to directly take control of the two major Baidao leader sects, Cihang Jingzhai and Jingnian Chanyuan, and let them merge into the sect I founded. , and turn it into a force under my control, once and for all.”
Unable to maintain his natural demeanor any longer, Ning Daoqi's face was filled with shock. Looking at this young girl who dared to make bold words to annex Jingzhai and Chanyuan, he could not calm down at all. His lips moved slightly several times, but he always said Not a word came out.
Seeing that Ning Daoqi did not immediately fall out or leave, and the mental fluctuations he exuded showed that they could discuss something, Zhao Qing smiled slightly and added calmly:
"Fellow Daoist Ning, your lifelong pursuit is nothing more than becoming an immortal and attaining the Tao, shattering the void. If you are willing to join our sect, become one of the elders, and fulfill your responsibilities with all your heart, I can make a promise that within half a year, I will teach you You have an 'immortal method' that is enough to reach this level."
"At that time, Jing Nian Chan Monastery will be changed to Jing Nian Taoist Sect, and Cihang Jingzhai will be changed to Cihang Taoist Sect. They will still be managed by Liao Kong and Fan Qinghui, and I will serve as the common supreme leader of both sects. But it is I don’t know, what do you think, fellow Daoist Ning?”
It was not that Zhao Qing had not thought deeply about proposing such an appalling method of annexing a sect, but that he had made a plan after comprehensive consideration.
During the previous battles, Zhao Qing gradually explored the psychological activities and partial memories of Fan Qinghui and Liao Kong, and discovered that although these two people were relatively hypocritical and unscrupulous in dealing with their identified enemies, their nature was indeed good, and they had always felt that What I do is to benefit the world while practicing cultivation.
Although Cihang Jingzhai and Jingnian Chanyuan have lofty status, they have more symbolic significance than real influence. Outsiders do not care about worldly affairs, and have no intention of controlling the rise and fall of the country, nor do they deliberately promote their own reputation. Number.
If you really have this idea, Jingzhai should cultivate loyal affiliated forces like the Yingui Sect and other forces, and train a large number of experts to lurk and seize power among the major forces, instead of relying on others and choosing a master who has no real relationship with itself. Come to assist.
The so-called Cihang Jingzhai "elected the emperor on behalf of heaven" originally came from Jingzhai's full support of Yang Jian after Emperor Wu of the Northern Zhou Dynasty destroyed Buddhism. Prior to this, Jingzhai had not only severely attacked the Demon Sect during the Three Kingdoms period, , in fact, there is no interference in national affairs.
】
But after this incident, rumors spread in the world that Jingzhai likes to support the "right one". It is suspected that someone is stirring up trouble, and it is probably that the hostile demon sect has put a high hat on it.
However, Jingzhai, who stayed in the mountains all day and had no political acumen, took this top hat seriously and regarded it as a good thing that would benefit all people. After successfully supporting Yang Jian, he thought that this matter could continue smoothly. , and ended up doing a lot of bad things.
There are rumors in the world that Ning Daoqi vomited blood while watching "Cihang Sword Code". This may have been done by someone from the Demon Sect in order to divide the relationship between the Buddhist and Taoist families.
Could these things be planned and done by "Evil King" Shi Zhixuan? The Buddhist and Taoist sects have the upper hand in terms of force, and the Demonic sect has the upper hand in intelligence, thus maintaining a delicate balance?
In short, in Zhao Qing's view, the two forces, Jingzhai and Chanyuan, have good reputation, strength and appeal, and they still have the potential to become normal after transformation, and from then on truly do good and eliminate evil, and benefit all people.
As the saying goes, "If you think XX is not good, then go build it." Now Cihang Jingzhai has many shortcomings, but its own framework is still acceptable, whether it is sword practice, Zen practice, Taoism, or women's The sects all have a certain degree of compatibility with Zhao Qing.
As for the criticized point of "searching for the Lord", Jingzhai's concept of quelling wars and ending troubled times as soon as possible is actually not wrong. It is indeed beneficial to people's lives, but its strength and means are not strong enough, and Too biased towards Li Clan.
After falling into the hands of Zhao Qing, when she returned to her peak cultivation level, even though the army of the Tang Dynasty had a per capita combat power far exceeding that of the Tianlong World under the special influence of the Temple of War, they had their limits and could not really harm her.
When the time comes, she will naturally be able to use her martial arts to surpass the imperial power, establish a veritable holy land of martial arts, easily influence the general trend of the world, forcibly end the war, and restore peace to the world.
As for using martial arts that can be broken to win over Ning Daoqi, Zhao Qing felt that he would most likely not stay in one place forever. He would not have the time and energy to deal with various affairs, and it would be difficult to be distracted. He would need to recruit a few top masters to dominate the force. For example, we met Ning Daoqi tonight.
In Zhao Qing's view, Ning Daoqi is not the so-called Jingzhai thug, but more of a cooperator with Buddhism, using Buddhism's strength and foundation, which is currently superior to Taoism, to improve his own cultivation and promote the revival of Taoism.
In fact, although Ning Daoqi was born as a casual cultivator, he has been wandering around the world for decades. Not only has he achieved the reputation of being the first person in the Central Plains and the great master of the world, but his status in Taoism is roughly equivalent to that of Jingzhai and Buddhism. Through wind and rain, great waves;
Even the "Monk King" Fa Ming, who later attained the "Zhiyang Wuji" and was born in a demon sect but served as the abbot of Jing Nian Zen Temple, all called him a giant in martial arts and respected him. This shows that Ning Daoqi's final achievements It is truly extraordinary.
"The Sun and the Moon are in the Sky" mentions that Li Shimin, Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, established Taoism as the state religion, built the largest Sanqing Palace in the country, and invited Ning Daoqi's direct disciple, the most virtuous and respected Taoist disciple Guiyuan Zhenren, to worship him as a Taoist and regarded him as the leader of Taoism in the world. head.
It can also be seen from here that Ning Daoqi, as a "loan" without a sect, has never killed anyone in his life, but the influence he left behind in the end is quite amazing. Although there are some black spots, he is worthy of being the number one in his sect. The name of a master can be regarded as a member of Zhongxing Dao Sect.
The process of Taoist cultivation pays equal attention to mind and body. Although Ning Daoqi is a representative of Taoism, he is actually the leader of both Taoism and Buddhism. Therefore, his Sanshou Bapu emphasizes the Zen state of Taoism and transcends ordinary martial arts in the secular world.
The "Cihang Sword Canon" was created by Dini, the former number one person in Taoism, after he left Buddhism, grew his hair and returned to secular life, and integrated Buddhist and Taoist practices. Although it is generally considered to be Buddhist martial arts, it actually includes A large number of Taoist profound mysteries.
Therefore, Dini is equivalent to Ning Daoqi's predecessor on the road to the integration of Buddhism and Taoism. He is a forerunner who seems to have blazed a trail. After reaching the realm of the great master, he went to visit Jingzhai, but due to the "Sword Code" Because it is not suitable for men to practice, it will return in vain.
However, for this limitation in practice, Zhao Qing is confident that he can overcome it after browsing the entire "Cihang Sword Code", and fully absorb the ideas of the integration of Buddhism and Taoism, and will be suspected of only "Zhiyin Wuji". "Part of the "Sword Code" has been upgraded to a double Wuji technique.
Not only did he unify the two forces of Buddhism and Taoism, but he also launched an offensive against the demonic sect and eliminated the evil ones among them, so that the ten volumes of "The Strategy of Heavenly Demons" could be reunited into one, eliminating the bad and retaining the good, so that it would no longer be a heretic of evil demons, but a descendant of evil spirits. The orthodoxy among all schools of thought is just like what the empress Wu Zhao did during the prosperous Tang Dynasty.
Speaking of which, the reason why Zhao Qing came up with the idea of occupying Jingzhai was actually inspired by Wu Zhao and her junior brother Fa Ming:
Fa Ming can finally unify Buddhism except Jing Zhai by joining Jing Nian Zen Monastery since he was a child and becoming the abbot of the Zen Monastery. He is more powerful than Fa Ming. Now that he has defeated the masters of Jing Zhai and Chan Yuan, why can't he just directly To do this big thing?
After all, Liao Kong and Fan Qinghui, who were made by the "Five Yun Heart Burying Sword", are currently trapped in an illusion, and have been planted with psychological flaws that are difficult to repair. If nothing unexpected happens, after they wake up, they will never be able to do anything again. I can't think of any resistance.
The manipulation weaved the illusion, constantly deepening the impact on the monk and nun. Zhao Qing quietly looked at Ning Daoqi who seemed to be stunned on the bell tower, waiting for his answer.
