In the open space at Guangling Mountain Gate in Wanquan, a temporary high altar stands tall.
A deity makes a mountain, not its altitude.
Once upon a time, Guangling Mountain was unknown. It was just an extremely ordinary mountain. Occasionally, people would pass by without even taking a look.
However, within a few days, Guangling's name resounded throughout Wanquan and even surrounding counties.
Countless casual cultivators and demon cultivators came one after another, and there were even evil heretics who covered their auras and sneaked in secretly.
The morning light was dim and the mist was heavy.
Under the stirring of grass and trees, dew condensed and dripped.
Unconsciously, a large number of monks gathered in the open space in front of Guangling Mountain. At a glance, there were as many as a thousand people, and the scene was extremely spectacular.
Not to mention, there are still shadowy figures in the dense forests and lush vegetation in the distance of the clearing. They cover their auras, cautiously, and wait quietly.
Those hiding in the dark are either demons, heretics, or even evil heretics who cannot see the light.
Compared with the last lecture and Dharma conference in the suburbs of Wanquan City.
Not only has the number of guests greatly increased, but most importantly, there are many powerful people with fifth and sixth grades of Taoism and cultivation among the guests, so the scene has become larger.
"Fellow Taoists, is Taoist Master Lingxiao of Wanquan Mountain really very accomplished in classical studies? I have heard others talk about it so many times in the past two days that my ears are getting calluses."
"I listened to Senior Ling Xiao's lecture on "The Sutra of Saving People". I think what he taught was better than some seniors with great supernatural powers. I learned a lot after listening to it, but I don't know how accomplished Senior Ling Xiao is on "The Sutra of Serenity".
"Is he really that amazing?"
"That's natural. Senior Ling Xiao's lectures are very good. He goes from the simple to the deep and speaks the big meanings. You will understand after listening to it once. These days, the tide of evil spirits has troubled you for a long time. I hope you can gain some enlightenment after listening to Senior Ling Xiao's lectures this time. .”
"What I'm saying is that I have also been greatly affected by the tide of evil energy, and my practice has been slow. I urgently need to comprehend the "Qing Jing Sutra" to clear my mind. Unexpectedly, Senior Ling Xiao happened to be teaching the "Qing Jing Sutra", and I really fell asleep and gave him a pillow. .”
In front of the high altar, everyone was discussing and it was quite lively.
Taoist Blood Silkworm, Venerable Five Poisons, and Madam Jade Bones all rushed to the gate of Guangling Mountain and hid themselves in the dense forest in the open space. The sound of discussions came one after another in their ears.
Mrs. Jade Bone looked around and said with emotion: "It's really lively."
Taoist Blood Silkworm smiled, not surprised.
At a time when evil spirits are raging, a Taoist master explains the "Qing Jing Sutra", which will naturally attract countless people.
"I hope this Fellow Daoist Lingxiao is worthy of his name. These days, I can no longer control the demon inside me."
Taoist Blood Silkworm was quite emotional.
The tide of evil energy is beneficial to ordinary small demon cultivators. However, after cultivating to a certain level, the most important thing is not to improve the level of demonic skills, but to master the evil energy of evil spirits in the body, control the demon, and avoid becoming a demon and becoming a walking corpse.
Therefore, the tide of evil energy will do more harm than good to the great demon who is truly successful in cultivation.
Lord Five Poisons and Madam Jade Bone nodded repeatedly.
"I hope there will be a surprise today!"
Their fifth-level Taoist practice also has troubles in this regard.
This is why they gladly accepted the invitation.
As the three of them were talking quietly, a voice of surprise came from their ears.
"Senior Ling Xiao is here!"
Taoist Blood Silkworm, Master Five Poisons, and Madam Jade Bones were overjoyed. They had been waiting for a long time, and they were quite curious about this Taoist scholar who had become famous recently. They all looked sideways and took a closer look.
For a time, countless eyes and consciousness focused on the altar on the high platform of the mountain gate.
A young monk wearing a green robe and a miter sat cross-legged in front of the altar futon. His lips were red and his teeth were white. He was handsome. His fair skin exuded a faint golden light under the morning sun, making him warm and elegant.
"What a great person who came down to earth to banish an immortal!"
Someone on the field exclaimed, and then countless people echoed.
However, those who agreed did not include Taoist Blood Silkworm, Master Five Poisons, and Lady Jade Bones.
At this moment, the three of them were stunned.
It was as if a mortal had seen a ghost in broad daylight, with a look of horror on his face!
It's him!
The three people exclaimed in surprise.
Venerable Five Poisons was the first to react. He was once a giant in Qingzhou Demonic Way. He knew the rising stars of Qingzhou Immortal Court very well, so he naturally knew Chu Chen's name.
The first time the two of them met was when Chu Chen was serving as the governor of Yunlin County in Guangping.
His apprentice died at the hands of Chu Chen. He originally wanted to find an opportunity to avenge his apprentice, but in just two or three years, the other party broke through to the fifth level of Taoism, and he completely gave up the idea of revenge.
"I didn't expect that he would come to Yunzhou to serve as the head of the Taoist Academy, and I didn't expect that he would have such profound attainments in Confucian classics. No wonder his Taoist cultivation has improved by leaps and bounds!"
Lord Wudu was surprised.
The Taoist Blood Silkworm on the side recalled something, his face was filled with shock and anger, and there was a faint look of fear and fear in his eyes.
"Why did he suddenly achieve the fifth level of Taoism and become a master of Confucian classics?"
Taoist Blood Silkworm was shocked and regretful.
At first, he was entrusted by the Goddess of Yunwu Lake, Yunzhi Empress, to send an insect body to assassinate the Yunlin Governor. At that time, he did not want to take the job, but Yunzhi Empress gave her too much, so he agreed.
Unexpectedly, he missed it.
What he didn't expect even more was that the former Yunlin Governor had cultivated to the fifth level of Taoism in just two or three years.
Seeing the young Taoist sitting on the high platform in front of him, Taoist Blood Silkworm's intestines turned green with regret.
He practiced [Thousands of Insects] and was not afraid of strong enemies. However, the young Taoist in front of him clearly had the potential to develop great supernatural powers. He unintentionally offended a future powerful man with great supernatural powers, which made everyone's heart skip a beat.
Venerable Five Poisons and Taoist Blood Silkworm were surprised and apprehensive, but they could still remain calm.
However, Mrs. Jade Bone's face changed color and she looked frightened.
"This is the little Taoist boy from back then."
In Mrs. Jade Bone's mind, the scenes from that year could not help but flash through one by one.
Back then, she was just a white-bone demon in Guangping County with the talent of stealing souls. Under her careful planning, she stole the souls of hundreds of thousands of people bit by bit, and used the people of several counties as training materials. Call it a smooth sailing.
If no one had harmed her cultivation, she would have broken through to the fifth level of Taoism.
However, her careful plan was accidentally discovered by a little Taoist boy who had just entered Taoism. The subsequent consequences not only ruined her good deeds, but also caused her to almost die under the siege of the Immortal Court, and she fled into the wilderness in despair.
Mrs. Jade Bone hated the little Taoist boy and his master with deep hatred. After cultivating the fifth level of Taoism, if it were not inconvenient to sneak across the Kyushu barrier, she would have wanted to go back to seek revenge on the master and the disciple.
However, what she didn't expect was that instead of coming to her door, the other party actually came to the wilderness.
What she didn't expect was that four or five years ago, the little Taoist boy who had just entered Taoism would develop into a fifth-grade Taoist cultivation level with a snap of his fingers and become a Taoist master respected by countless monks.
"How is this possible!"
Madam Jade Bones exclaimed incredulously, and faintly, she felt a deep sense of fear in her heart.
She practiced magic skills, and in a few years she cultivated from the seventh level of Taoism to the fifth level of Taoism. This was already extremely fast. Many creatures were turned into bones in her hands, and this was how she achieved her current practice.
But what about the little Taoist boy?
The authentic Taoist sect of the Eight Classics, the cultivation method must be righteous and peaceful, not as tricky as the magic method, step by step, solid and solid.
However, it took the little Taoist boy only four or five years to cultivate to the fifth level of Taoism.
If he was allowed to practice for a few more years, would he be able to pay it back?
Mrs. Jade Bone no longer dares to think about it at this moment.
For her, there was no surprise at the invitation today, only fright.
"If that kid detects my aura and learns my identity, I'm afraid I'll be doomed."
Madam Jade Bones felt terrified in her heart. She couldn't imagine what would happen if she was targeted by such a terrifying existence.
However, just when the three of them were surprised, a crisp sound sounded in their ears.
"Crack!"
what sound?
The Five Poison Masters, the Blood Silkworm Taoist Master, and the Jade Bone Lady all had keen senses and all looked down.
However, the insect-shaped magic weapon they wore on their waists accidentally cracked.
"This is a broken magic weapon!"
The wind blows the fallen leaves.
Taoist Blood Silkworm, Venerable Five Poisons, and Madam Jade Bones were stagnant in place, silent, with heavy expressions, and the atmosphere was somewhat depressing.
