Because the world of spiritual practice gradually appeared in the human world, the folk customs of the Tang Dynasty became more "simple". Let’s not talk about remote areas for the moment, let’s just say that in the Zhongnan Mountains, several sects have opened their doors and want to accept disciples and preach in the mortal world.
They dared to do this, and of course they had the approval of Yuzhudong Yun Zhongzi, Master Tripitaka of Daci'en Temple, and the Tang Dynasty court.
The emergence of the Immortal Sect has undoubtedly had a certain impact on the original Jianghu sects in the mortal world. This is a dimension-reducing attack by immortal cultivators on ordinary warriors.
As for those unusual warriors, naturally they cannot be compared.
Especially nowadays, among the general disciples of the Tang Dynasty, almost all of them are developing their own bloodline power. Even if they lack martial arts talent, it is not impossible to go to school and learn literature. Of course, there are also many playboys who are not good at literature and martial arts. exist.
It's just that in this three-thirds of an acre of land in Chang'an, they are like dragons coiled up and tigers lying down. If they dare to cause trouble, there are many people who can repair them.
If there is a place with the best security among the Three Realms, it is undoubtedly the city of Chang'an where the Holy Buddha Tripitaka sits.
If we talk about the past, there were many people who did evil under the emperor's feet, but it is completely different now. Let alone doing evil under the nose of the Holy Buddha, even if they occasionally say one or two swear words, I am afraid they have to clasp their hands towards the great mercy. Make a Buddhist salute in the direction of the temple and say: "Namo Tripitaka Tathagata."
However, the folk customs of the people have always been simple. In addition, these verbal words will indeed not arouse the reaction of the Holy Buddha. Over time, chanting Buddha's name before swearing has become a major tradition in Chang'an City.
And such a scene seems to be gradually becoming more subtle in the case of a stupid person who cannot talk to others and can only repeat the Buddha's name "Namo Tripitaka Holy Tathagata" to his opponent.
In fact, this was nothing at first, but the person's emotional changes were all reflected in his tone, which made everything seem to change.
As the leading city in the Three Realms, Chang'an City is also constantly expanding.
Not only the Tang Dynasty, but also the talents from the entire three realms are gathering towards Chang'an City. Needless to say, Xizhou Buddhism, the Great Ci'en Temple's current attraction to them is not at all inferior to the Great Leiyin Temple in the Western Lingshan Mountain.
The monks in Dongzhou, because of Wang Xuance's activeness, also became curious about the Tang Dynasty. Some small countries even took the initiative to submit their credentials to the Tang Dynasty, hoping that the two countries could peacefully establish diplomatic relations and develop together.
In response, Li Zhi accepted everything.
Regardless of the future strategic trends, it is beneficial and harmless for Datang to establish diplomatic relations with the Dongzhou countries for now.
Besides, if such a small country is attacked by a big country in the East, how can it not turn to Datang, a reliable ally, for help?
As for the Tang Dynasty, its allies have been invaded by other countries. I send troops to help the situation, isn't it too much?
As for what will happen after the fight, that is all uncontrollable and cannot be foreseen at the moment.
His father always said that he was a conservative king, but Li Zhi believed that his ambition was not inferior to his father's. But compared to his father's desire to directly conquer Dongzhou, he wanted to directly complete the unification like the First Emperor. Li Zhi They are more inclined to imitate the human kings of the ancient human race. They do not want to directly rule other tribes, but as the leader of the tribe, they are elected as the common leader of the world by the tribes of the world.
If the Tang Dynasty could also become a suzerain state recognized by all countries in the East and West continents, Li Zhi felt that he might still have a chance to leave a place in the Fire Cloud Cave.
To accomplish such a feat may not be possible in a day. In operation, it is even more difficult than direct conquest. But it has to be said that those of them who want to go further after becoming emperors will find a way.
The unfolding of the world of cultivation actually does not make any fundamental changes to the vast majority of the people. Perhaps there are indeed some talented boys and girls in the mountains and fields waiting for those who are destined to discover them, but most of them are ordinary people. , ordinary people who work hard for three meals a day.
However, everyone always looks forward to the story of a person who attains enlightenment and ascends to heaven. Therefore, the young girls in the village also have high hopes from their elders. Before they can work in the fields, they have already achieved both civil and military achievements. dabbled in something.
Even some Da Zhuangzi who follow the footsteps can master the so-called "Qi Entraining Technique", hoping to achieve immortality in one step.
What they fail to do is to hope that their sons and daughters can live up to their expectations. But they are often disappointed. But even in such circumstances, there are always children from other families appearing.
Little Li Bai is undoubtedly someone else's child.
At home, little Li Bai is undoubtedly a qualified son who can bring honor to his parents. He has shown excellent talents in both civil and military affairs since he was a child. No wonder he was able to alarm the Jiejiao Immortal Wudang Mother and the Holy Buddha Tripitaka of the Three Realms when he was born.
But only Miss Gongsun knew that this little guy was actually an alcoholic.
When the owner of the wine shop saw that he was young and refused to sell him, he was not angry. Instead, he found a bandit's den that night, killed an entire village of bandits with his sword, and then ate meat in his wine cellar. Wine, so enjoyable.
It can be said that the true colors were revealed, and it was an eye-opener for Miss Gongsun.
Finally, when he was happy after drinking, he stood on the top of the mountain with a wine jar in one hand, held a sword in front of the moon and sang and danced with the sword. Then he used the sky as a quilt and the earth as a bed, and slept on the ground, really free and unrestrained.
Miss Gongsun tried to imitate little Li Bai's swordplay, and it was obvious that every move she had learned was very similar, but when she used it, she always felt that it was just a superficial skill, with no real meaning at all.
"Does it mean that in order to perform this swordsmanship, you really have to rely on alcohol?"
But now that Little Li Bai was still drunk to death, Miss Gongsun suppressed this idea first to prevent Xiong Boy from having an accident.
There are ferocious beasts and snakes in the mountains, but none of them dare to approach the hilltop where Xiao Li Bai lives. It is the instinct of these beasts to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. Obviously, they do not want to become the souls killed by the "Qingping Sword".
For Qingping Sword, Li Bai is its rare favorite, the protector of the divine weapon. Isn't it a fundamental thing?
Jin'ao Island in the East China Sea.
Great Immortal Yangli didn't know why, but Master Wudang, who had always looked cold, seemed to have softened a lot these days.
The sharp aura seems to be slowly being restrained. Oh, it may also be that it is all poured into the "Long-eared Dingguang Immortal" on the gate of Biyou Palace.
Why bother?
Immortal Yangli had no sympathy for this "Uncle Dingguang Master", and it was precisely because of his upright temperament that he was more favored by the Incompetent Mother. Therefore, in his spare time, he would also give guidance on Immortal Yangli's practice.
At that time, the Great Sage taught him two magical powers, especially the "copper-skinned and iron-bone" magical power, which was the most suitable for him. He did not become a holy mother, but he taught him a set of "rejuvenation and resuscitation techniques" for the first time.
It wasn't because of anything else, it was just that he wanted him to restore the trees on the island after knocking them down.
Otherwise, the willow king in the center of the island, who has lived for who knows how many years, would probably hang him up and beat him.
Yangli Daxian has always been stubborn and didn't take it seriously at first, but under the guidance of his master, he recalled that when Long-eared Dingguangxian was just captured, he was beaten three times by a vine that came out of nowhere. days and nights
Then he made a special trip to the center of the island and met the senior tree king. Especially after seeing the willow branches that were thicker than the two of him, the Great Immortal Yangli stopped hitting trees from then on.
He even transformed into a messenger of the vegetation of Jin'ao Island, caring for it with all his heart.
Later, after he became familiar with the Tree King, he also asked the Tree King why he had not whipped him before, but the Tree King laughed loudly and only said: "I just like your upright temperament."
Standing on the edge of the island, Immortal Yang Li seemed to be able to hear the shouts coming from the mainland on the other side. After listening attentively for a while, he put his hands around his mouth and said: "Uncle Wudang said, let's Wherever you came from, go back."
After saying that, he didn't care about the follow-up, just shook the fly whisk and walked towards the island.
In recent days, more and more monks have left the Jie Cult and want to return first.
But apart from their master, Golden Hoop Immortal Ma Sui, they have really never met anyone else who can really return to their master.
However, in Ma Sui's words, "Weishi has never left the sect, nor has he joined another sect. At best, he was broken up during the Conferred God War. Even Senior Sister Wudang refused to allow Weishi to enter the island. , but the status of being a teacher and a disciple cannot be deprived of it, right?"
Immortal Yang Li said blankly at that time, "Master, you were not so stubborn when you kowtowed to Jin'ao Island that day."
Bang!
The Great Immortal Yang Li was sent ten steps away by Ma Sui's kick.
It has to be said that Ma Sui was able to return to the master's door, which was indeed the fundamental reason. As for the capture of Long Er Dingguang Immortal, it can only be regarded as a knock on the door.
Otherwise, Jin Guangxian would have been out of trouble a long time ago, why has he never dared to return to Jin'ao Island?
Wasn't it because he was forced to join Buddhism? Although he couldn't help it at that time, after all, he had been the mount of Guanyin Bodhisattva for more than a thousand years. In fact, he didn't have the face to return to his master's door.
It is a trivial matter to be embarrassed, but to lose the prestige of Jie Jiao. Although today's monks in the Three Realms have long forgotten what Jie Jiao is, it is still difficult to get over this hurdle in their hearts.
Immortal Yang Li walked away gracefully, but the monks on the other side obviously refused to give up.
Some of the Jiejiao monks back then died, and some were captured by two saints from the west. The last part, like Ma Sui, was scattered throughout the three realms.
Some find a cave and can't get out of it. Others break the jar and occupy the mountain to become the king or raise the flag to become the monster. The former are basically human beings, while the latter are mostly monsters.
There are still some who are unwilling to be lonely and dare not act in the name of Jie Jiao anymore, so they have no choice but to hide their names, change their appearance, go to a place where no one knows them, and start a new life.
But all this happened seven years ago when the mountain gate that had been closed by Jiejiao suddenly opened. Sister Wudang, the acting head teacher who had been unable to leave the seclusion, personally went to Datang to accept a direct disciple. And things began to change. Become ordinary.
Jie Jiao was known as the "Ten Thousand Immortals" back then, and there were naturally many of them with lively ideas. Naturally, they wanted to take this opportunity to return to the sect.
Some people wanted to go directly to find the young nephew, but later they heard that letting him find the Donghai Division alone when he was seven years old was a test for the head senior sister to the young nephew, so they stopped Got this idea.
If he causes the displeasure of the head senior sister, then it won't be a question of whether he can return to the school. I'm afraid he will have to be careful about his life at all times.
However, some monks still took a look from a distance, with the intention of secretly protecting the young nephew in case something happened to him. But after seeing the Qingping sword on his waist, they all felt relieved. 's left.
In today's Three Realms, there are basically countless people who can ignore the protection of Qingping Sword and cause harm to Xiao Li Bai. And these people, as long as they don't deliberately want to anger the Holy Mother Wudang, the Jade Emperor and the Tripitaka Buddha, Apart from the three powerful men, they probably wouldn't take action against Xiao Li Bai.
Mother Wudang is not worried at all about Xiao Li Bai's journey to find a teacher. At most, it is a test of Xiao Li Bai's determination.
The only hidden danger is that Li Bai, who is only seven years old, cannot withstand the temptation of the colorful world, so he gives up halfway and gives up going to Jin'ao Island. But for now, everything seems to be normal.
In the eyes of Our Lady Wudang, Miss Gongsun, who is secretly following Little Li Bai, can be regarded as a malleable talent. If she can keep her promise and abide by the agreement with Li's father to send Little Li Bai all the way to the East China Sea, Mother Wudang will not Ji Jie gave her some pointers on the art of swordsmanship.
Instructing her on the way of swordsmanship has nothing to do with her already being a disciple.
I'm afraid even her master is eager to get the guidance of the Wudang Holy Mother, who is said to be the number one swordsman in the Three Realms.
Stop and go along the way.
Little Li Bai traveled from west to east, almost across the entire Nanfangbu Continent, and finally entered Dongsheng Shenzhou, a place full of blessings for immortals.
And at the intersection of the two continents, Xiao Li Bai met two people.
One is Wang Xuance and the other is Zeng Zi.
Wang Xuance ended his mission to Dongzhou and wanted to return to the court; Zengzi's missionary work in the Tang Dynasty came to an end and he wanted to go to Dongzhou to spread the principles of Confucianism.
By chance, little Li Bai also arrived here. Naturally, he was called to him by these two "big men" in the world.
The two of them also knew a little bit about Li Bai. They said in their hearts: Since he is the person favored by Sanzang Saint Buddha, he must have the talent of mind and nature. Now that he has encountered such a manufacturable talent, naturally he cannot let it go easily. Pass.
Wang Xuance was not stingy either. He smiled and said: "Although you are going to Dongzhou to worship the Wudang Holy Mother as your teacher, the blood of the human race is always flowing in your body. The Wudang Holy Mother can teach you the unparalleled swordsmanship, but she cannot teach you. Practice on the power of human blood."
Although little Li Bai was only seven years old, he was naturally intelligent and had obviously understood the meaning of the words spoken by the minister.
Zengzi on the side seemed to be moved as well.
