There is no doubt that Zhang Yan is from the Taoist sect. But he is not the calm and upright Taoist priest in the books.
Even when Zhang Yan was trying to make a living on earth, he always put the word "Taoist" on his face and rarely took it into his heart.
Regarding the cultivation and refinement of the mind, Zhang Yan has no way of talking about it.
What do you expect from a man who fights for money to talk about greatness and integrity? Or tell him something about the glory of the family? On the earth at that time, in the face of Zhang Yan's need to starve and live a better life with his master, it was nothing!
And who said that Taoism must be upright? Only children who have not grown up will believe it.
But things are different now. The path of spiritual practice that Zhang Yan embarked on. Now his cultivation has taken a big step forward after he saved the female ghost. By the end of this year or within next year, he is confident that he can take another step forward and enter the late stage of the Mysterious Vein Realm.
This is attributed to Zhang Yan's current cultivation talent. It is truly incredible, otherwise it would never be so fast.
With good talent and hard work, Zhang Yan's idea is to try to climb the peaks of the realm of cultivation in the Longhu Mountain classics in the wilderness. Even if there is an opportunity in the future, he would not mind spreading the glory of the Tao Sect to the soil of the Desolate Heaven Territory.
In this way, there is no room for Zhang Yan to be careless on the road of cultivation.
Especially when it comes to the use of Taoism, Zhang Yan is always cautious, worried that he will accidentally take his own path astray. Therefore, he has always been practicing the most basic and most reliable techniques in the tower in Wanxiang Pearl. He has always been insensitive to those methods that are eccentric and even difficult to distinguish between good and evil.
Because there is a saying in Taoism called "tribulation". Broken down, it can be divided into three tribulations: "Heaven, Earth, and Man". It will appear irregularly and irregularly in every monk's practice path. If you can make it through, the sea and the sky will be brighter; if you can't make it, you will either be unable to recover or die. It is the biggest danger in road construction.
But although it is said to be the "greatest danger", the description of the robbery is never detailed, and they are all very general and vague. To put it nicely, it means "it can only be understood but cannot be expressed in words"; to put it badly, it means "it is nonsense and meaningless".
A danger that is real but elusive is naturally the most terrifying.
But one thing is that the statement about the robbery has been affirmed by the monks of Longhu Mountain many times in the book. That is, monks who have no attachments or distracting thoughts in their hearts and are in line with the natural principles of heaven and earth will have a smoother path of practice and will be less likely to encounter "tribulations", or it will be easier to survive them when encountering them.
Recently, Zhang Yan's heart has been in turmoil, or in other words, he has had distracting thoughts.
About the Zhang family, more about the Wu family and his son, and about himself.
More than two years ago, Zhang Yan traveled from the earth to the Wild Sky Realm, and inherited everything about this body when he woke up. Whether it was new grudges or old grudges, or responsibilities and obligations, they all became something he was burdened with.
It's like arriving at a new company and doing the work at this station. The beginning must be some unfinished work taken over from the previous employee at this position. This was Zhang Yan's initial thought.
It wasn't until he went out to fetch water at night and was attacked by a female ghost that Zhang Yan's thoughts changed.
It is no longer a simple resentment inherited from the previous owner of the body, but something that truly belongs to him now. Even the killing intent from the Wu family was directed at him at this time.
In the past, Zhang Yan's plan was to slowly find out some incriminating evidence about the Wu family, and then follow Zhou Cang's path, looking up step by step, to find a path that could lower the thunder to destroy the Wu family and his son. Based on the four words of fairness and justice. I thought that I would take my time and settle the grievances left by the original owner of the body.
Even when facing Wu Qingling, Zhang Yan felt peaceful. He didn't feel that he had any grudge against him. What he is doing is helping "others" settle their grudges.
I always feel like I’m on the edge.
Now, Zhang Yan had a distracting thought in his mind: he had murderous intentions towards the Wu family father and son.
If you have the intention to kill, your heart is not pure. Either use Taoism and good thoughts to resolve it on your own, or seek a clear thought to eliminate distracting thoughts.
But just because you're interested doesn't mean it's easy to do. Wu Qingling and Wu Yuan have been able to show off their power in Langyuan for so many years not only by fighting against those fierce ghosts and flies, but also by their official status in Langyuan City, which is enough to allow them to have the defense strength of this city in addition to the garrison camp and city wall. The most powerful guard outside.
Zhang Yan didn't think that with his current level of cultivation and skills in the Xuanmai realm, he could go to the office of a dignified city guard and kill people without anyone noticing.
Therefore, some care is needed in the means.
The night after he saved the female ghost, Zhang Yan made a decision. He changed his previous strategy of slowly bringing down the Wu family in an open and honest manner, and chose a more radical approach. Of course, it also requires him to change some of the proportions he insisted on before.
The key is that Zhang Yan felt that the other party's desire to kill him was much more urgent than he imagined. He didn't even choose any other means. He just wanted to take his life and not play tricks.
Therefore, Zhang Yan must respond as quickly as possible.
Either you die or I die.
Finally, after Zhang Yan made his decision, he took out a method from the Wanxiang Pearl that he had been able to practice before but never wanted to touch: the yā victory technique.
What is the art of hating victory?
In fact, the art of hating victory is not a righteous art, but a method of cultivating the sword in an eccentric way, or it is called a side art.
Longhushan himself does not have the art of hating victory, but collects it from outside. Because its efficacy and application are so powerful and widespread, it was included in the Tower of Wanxiang Pearl and passed down.
That is a large category of magic. Although Zhang Yan can practice it at the Xuanmai realm now, he can only practice some superficial parts. But fortunately, the Wu family father and son Zhang Yan needs to deal with are not advanced monks, or even warriors. Once they are targeted by the victory-abating technique, even the crude victory-absorbing technique can be absolutely effective.
Once you have reached a certain level of cultivation, it is not difficult to apply the superficial technique of hating victory. But unlike the righteous magic, many methods of the victory-weary technique require the use of some media. This requires Zhang Yan to put some thought into it.
...
and Tongqianfang.
There is only one word difference between Qianfang and Qianzhuang, but the difference is thousands of miles away.
Banks are places where coins are circulated and saved. Most of them have official backgrounds and are considered important assets of the country. And Qianfang is simply a place where you can't get on the stage, it's a place where you can make a lot of money and make a lot of money.
Hetong Qianfang was opened by Wu Qingling and is the largest Qianfang in Langyuan City. It is said that one day's running water can be worth the money of all the flower houses on the street.
Zhang Yan glanced at the sign above, smiled, raised his legs and walked in...
