Speaking of which, Chu Chen had left Yuqin County for two years.
In the past two years, the Yuqin Mountains have undergone earth-shaking changes.
Since the "Five Elements Rare Treasures" were originally born here, legendary stories have been circulating that someone got a piece of "Five Elements Rare Treasures" by chance, became rich overnight, and reached the peak of life. This made Yuqin Mountain, where cows, ghosts and snake gods gathered, become more and more popular confusion.
In addition to the influx of casual cultivators with dreams of getting rich overnight into Yuqin Mountain, many forces from the eight southwest states are also constantly infiltrating. The entire Yuqin Mountain no longer has the peace of the past, and the situation is extremely chaotic.
When Chu Chen followed his master into the mountains, his spiritual consciousness detected several waves of masters of fifth and sixth grade Taoist cultivation along the way, including demons and human monks, demons and evil cultivators, and casual cultivators from other sects.
"Master, does Yuqin Mountain still produce rare treasures of the Five Elements?"
Chu Chen was curious. Under normal circumstances, the treasure-gathering blessing land created by chance from heaven often cannot last for long. It can last for as little as one or two days, as long as one and a half years at most, and it is very rare for it to last for two or three years.
"besides."
Taoist Master Xu Ping said in a rather determined tone: "In the past two years, there have been fewer Five Elements rare treasures than at the beginning, but from time to time someone still gets the chance. Just a month ago, a casual cultivator got the Five Elements rare treasures, which caused a lot of trouble. movement."
"This Yuqin Mountain is a blessed place."
Chu Chen couldn't help but sigh.
In fact, it is the imperial capital of Zhongzhou, where Taizu Dachang established the Jiuzhou and suppressed the convergence of the world's fortunes in one place. This made Zhongzhou extremely rich, with abundant spiritual fields and continuous opportunities.
The Imperial Capital of Zhongzhou relies on "sucking the blood" of other states and counties, so that it can continue to have good fortune. This Yuqin Mountain is really good at good fortune, with such deep blessings.
"It is indeed a blessed place. In addition to the five elements of rare treasures, the output of other spiritual treasures has also become extremely rich. A few days ago, an expert deduced that the opportunity of this place will be at least two or three years away. This makes Yuqin Mountain more and more popular. It’s so attractive that it has become a piece of cake, and everyone wants to take a bite, and the situation has become increasingly chaotic in recent days.”
Chu Chen: "The Demon Emperor Yuqin doesn't care?"
"The Yuqin Demon King has always adhered to the principle of neutrality. He only cares about his own three-acre land. No matter how fierce the fighting is outside, he will not intervene. Even if the outside monks with great magical powers have been stationed in Yuqin Mountain for a long time, he will turn a blind eye. Close one eye."
After speaking, Taoist Xu Ping shook his head:
"This is really hard for Ning Yidu. He has to move reinforcements to Xianting every day and ask for help from the monks with great magical powers. It's extremely stressful."
Ning Daodao was none other than the Taoist high cultivator who took over Chu Chen's role as the Yuqin Administrator. He was from the Sanqing Temple of the Immortal Sect of the great sect. He was a fifth-grade super-grade and possessed extraordinary magical powers.
Chu Chen smiled: "Doesn't this mean that I escaped a lot of trouble?"
"That's not true."
...
While the master and disciple were talking, they unknowingly entered the territory of Taoist Fu Hua.
As soon as they entered the place, two young Taoist priests immediately stopped the two of them. They spoke in a bad tone and scolded them not to trespass into the Yuqin Shrine. They asked them to leave as soon as possible, otherwise they would be rude to them.
Taoist Master Xu Ping remained unmoved, the jade pendant around his waist was shining brightly, and the powerful [Hunyuan Xuan Gong] power in his body was undoubtedly revealed.
The two young Taoists were stunned at first. Although they could not see through the concealment method or get a glimpse of the true aura, they still knew Xu Ping's origin and said respectfully:
"Disciple pays homage to the master and pays homage to this senior (Chu Chen)."
Taoist priest Xu Ping looked stern and nodded calmly:
"Lead the way back to the valley to meet your master."
"yes!"
The two disciples of the Lao Lingshan Sect were very respectful to Taoist Xu Ping. As soon as they heard the instructions, they led the way without saying a word.
Chu Chen was surprised when he saw this scene.
Speaking of which, this was the first time that Master Xu Ping personally brought him into contact with the Old Lingshan Sect. Before that, he was very curious about the real relationship between the old and new Lingshan Sect.
However, seeing this scene now, he had a vague realization.
The relationship between old and new Lingshan is very complicated.
On the surface, the family is indeed separated, but in essence, there is no complete delivery.
There is no other reason than that the master did not sever the master-disciple relationship with his master, Taoist Fu Hua. The elders of the masters in Lao Lingshan are still famous in the Xinlingshan sect's genealogy, but they are only given names such as "fallen" and "missing".
In essence, the master-disciple relationship has not been severed, and the Dharma lineage still exists.
To the people of Laolingshan, Taoist Master Xu Ping was still the headmaster of Lingshan in name only, the leader of the sect.
This is why Master Xu Ping said that cutting involves "past, present and future".
The group followed two junior disciples from the Lao Lingshan sect to a secret valley in the mountains. As soon as they entered the Lao Lingshan station, the voice of their master, Taoist Fu Hua, floated out from the valley.
"Disciple, why are you here today? You must be in trouble..."
In the first half of the sentence, Taoist Fu Hua sounded quite happy. He was very happy that his disciple was willing to get close to him. However, he soon looked very surprised and then faintly unhappy:
"Why did you bring your disciple here?"
Taoist Xu Ping's expression remained as usual: "What's wrong with my disciples and grandsons meeting their masters?"
"Nonsense!"
The disciple of Lao Lingshan who led the way saw his master was angry and was trembling. Xu Ping and Chu Chen, master and disciple, looked calm and stood on the flowery stone path in the valley without saying a word.
After a long silence, a sigh came from deep in the valley:
"Oh, why bother? You two can come into my cave."
------------------
"Disciple pays homage to (Master) Grandmaster!"
In the spacious stone hall of the cave, Taoist Fu Hua sat cross-legged on a futon. He raised his eyes and glanced at Xu Ping, and then glanced at the handsome young monk with a strong aura beside him. His heart was complicated, but his face was full of kindness.
In fact, the two of them knew their respective identities, but they just didn't pierce the window paper in person.
This time, his apprentice Xu Ping brought his apprentice Sun Chuchen to Laolingshan. The window paper was torn instantly, and both parties had a tacit understanding.
"Zhenyi, you won't blame the master, right?"
Chu Chen shook his head: "Master has taken care of me and guided me all the way. This disciple is very grateful and I can't even complain at all."
His words were not polite. The entanglement between the old and new Lingshan sect was a matter of the master's generation. Ever since he came to Yunzhou, his master Fu Hua had been taking care of him secretly, and he had a clear mind.
"Great kindness!"
Taoist Fu Hua's serious face had a smile on his face:
"I thought you had to sharpen for a few years before I thought it was expected to break through. I never expected that I would break through for a year or two. .”
"Thanks to my master for his guidance and teaching me the superior method."
"You have a high level of understanding and a solid foundation. Even if you are the master, I can teach you well."
Taoist Fu Hua was full of praise for Chu Chen and liked him very much.
In fact, no elder would not like having such a talented disciple.
Taoist Xu Ping on the side remained silent and did not disturb the conversation and greetings between the grandfather and grandson. It was not until Taoist Fu Hua asked Chu Chen whether Chu Chen was transferred back to Yunzhou to be the deputy capital of Yunzhou that he took the lead and answered the conversation. road:
"Master, Zhenyi was not only transferred back to Yunzhou to serve as the deputy governor of Yunzhou, but also served as the left deputy supervisor of Yunzhou, responsible for the customs of the state and supervising all officials, ghosts and gods. In addition, during this election of the Immortal Court Central Committee, Zhenyi He is also added as the alternate elder of the Immortal Court Central Elder House, and is listed among the Immortal Court Central Elders. He is a saint in the Taoist sects of the world. He is the one with the highest achievements since the establishment of our Lingshan sect, and his path to immortality is bright!"
"What!"
Taoist Fuhua stood up suddenly, his face full of shock:
"This... how is this possible! Zhenyi is just entering the realm of great supernatural powers. How can the Immortal Court add him as an alternate elder? This is obviously against the rules. Boy Yunshui, are you trying to be a teacher for fun?"
Taoist Master Xu Ping was stunned when he heard this. He was so excited to see his eldest disciple come back this morning that he didn't think about it carefully after hearing the news. But now when he heard the master talk about it, he also reacted.
Yes, how was the apprentice chosen?
Although Emperor Lingwei led a group of Taoist, Buddhist, and Confucian monks with great supernatural powers to ascend to the upper world, the Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon in the Dachang Dynasty has no shortage of monks with great supernatural powers who have reached the heavens through Taoism. Realm, the apprentice Chu Chen was dismissed from his post for a year and waited for his return.
Chu Chen smiled when he heard this and said:
"Master, Master, you two must have heard about the demonic disasters a few days ago."
Fu Hua and Xu Ping nodded slightly. This news was extremely sensational. They knew about it tens of thousands of miles away. They heard that it was extremely dangerous at that time. The demon almost succeeded and destroyed the upper world. Lingwei Emperor's faction flew into the ground and caused mountains and rivers to rise. The country is in turmoil.
"Have you made a meritorious service?"
"Yes, this time the little devil and I helped the chief elder of the Xianting Central Presbytery and the candidate Celestial Master Yulou to find key clues, thus solving the magic disaster in one fell swoop. We successfully assisted Mr. Zuo Mingjing in handing over the divine weapon of Sheji and made great contributions. Then Yulou The real person overcame all opinions and pushed the disciple to the list of candidates for the Central Council of Elders."
】
From the power of the dragon!
Taoist Fu Hua and Taoist Xu Ping came up with these four words in their minds at the same time, and their hearts beat wildly.
With this credit, the future is bright.
With Chu Chen's talent as a Taoist, his Taoist practice has been steadily improving. In this Celestial Court, as long as he doesn't make a big mistake, an important minister of the Zuo Kingdom will not be able to escape unless he ascends to the position of Celestial Master of the Celestial Court in the future.
Master Fu Hua and Xu Ping were inexplicably excited, and they kept thinking the words "an important minister of Zuo Guo" in their hearts.
Throughout the thousand-year history of the Immortal Court of the Celestial Dynasty, those who can be considered among the important ministers of the Zuo Kingdom are either from the families of successive princes or from the three famous sects of Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism. Able to ascend to high positions.
The few important ministers of the Zuo Kingdom who came from humble backgrounds were all famous members of the Celestial Court, and the sects and families behind them all made leaps and bounds, rising to a higher level, either becoming a major sect, or It became a family.
With this thought, Taoist Master Xu Ping became more and more determined in his heart. He did not speak, but said through his spiritual consciousness:
"Master, our Lingshan sect has ushered in the best period. Are you still indifferent, unwilling to step out of this comfortable place, stalemate, and self-destruction?"
Xu Ping's words were calm and a little passionate at first, but the more he spoke later, the more powerful they became, and in the end they became even more aggressive and extremely powerful.
This move is undoubtedly treasonous. There is no reason for a disciple to behave like this in front of his master.
Taoist Fu Hua was displeased when he heard this, but he couldn't get any stronger and explained:
"Disciple, Zhenyi's breakthrough is that Zhenyi has a strong foundation and high understanding. He has learned from many experts and integrated it into [Hunyuan Xuan Gong], forming his own school. Although the method he practices comes from [Hunyuan Xuan Gong], it is no better than it. It is much more profound and mysterious, comparable to immortal skills. The disciple's breakthrough does not mean that your perfected [Hunyuan Xuan Gong] is complete. At least you must be among the great supernatural powers before Lingshan Sect can completely achieve the path."
"Master, what you said is indeed true. [Hunyuan Xuan Gong] has indeed not been completely mastered."
Taoist Master Xu Ping agreed, but then changed the topic and said:
"However, the fundamental method of my disciple's [Hunyuan Tianxin Xuan Gong] is derived from [Hunyuan Xuan Gong], which originates from our Lingshan [Gathering Energy and Form Refining]. It cultivates the way of yin and yang. He does not rely on the cultivation of Huang and Chi. The way has been broken through, which is enough to prove that the master's fundamental method is the method of enlightenment, and there is no problem with the fundamental method."
After saying that, Taoist Xu Ping said again:
"Master, back then, you asked your disciple, an ignorant little Taoist priest, to take over the burden of Lingshan and let me open up a path. Now that the path has begun to appear, are you still unwilling to step out of your comfortable place and not be willing to take any risks?"
"this..."
Taoist Fu Hua was shocked by what his disciple said to the general. He wanted to explain something, but he felt that no explanation was possible.
Back then, it was true that he failed to fulfill his duties as the leader of Lingshan and left the burden to his apprentice.
Feeling guilty and knowing that he was in the wrong, he had no choice but to remain silent and pretend that he had not heard.
Seeing the master's silence, Taoist Master Xu Ping felt irritated and cruel, and said in a deep voice:
"Master, you have also seen that your disciple's path to immortality is bright. It doesn't matter if you stay on your own laurels or you turn around in a disaster. My disciple cannot stop you, but you cannot become a stumbling block for your disciple to reach the highest level of the Immortal Court."
"If you are unwilling to perfect the technique [Hunyuan Xuan Gong], please forgive me for your treason. As the current leader of Lingshan Sect, I will expel you all from the Lingshan lineage, remove you forever, and cut off your present status in Lingshan. , past, future!”
"How dare you! You rebellious bastard, how dare you, I've really turned against you."
Taoist Fu Hua, who was sitting on the futon, blew his beard and glared in anger when he heard this. Although he is not in the Lingshan sect now, his name is still there and he is in the Lingshan pedigree. If he is really expelled, he will be the real one. A nameless and abandoned son of Lingshan.
At this moment, Taoist Fu Hua became anxious and furious:
"You dare to remove me from the Lingshan pedigree, and you will remove me just as you say?"
Seeing this, Taoist Master Xu Ping was unmoved. He held his head high and said calmly:
"Master, I am the current leader of Lingshan. If I say to get rid of you, I will get rid of you!"
Taoist Fu Hua was stunned when he heard this. He wanted to refute, but he couldn't find the words.
He handed over the Lingshan Dharma lineage to his disciple. Now he is just a "dead person" in the Lingshan inheritance lineage. If the disciple said that his name should be removed, then he should be removed. There is nothing he can do.
"Good boy, I didn't beat you enough back then. You are really rebelling against me."
Taoist Fu Hua was furious and couldn't reason with him. He rolled up the sleeves of his Taoist robe on the spot, wanting to teach this unfilial person a lesson.
Chu Chen on the side didn't know what the master and his master were discussing, and suddenly his swords were at war. However, when Chu Chen saw that his master was furious and wanted to hit his master, he didn't look like he was just pretending, so he immediately stepped up and blocked his master without even thinking about it. forward:
"Master, if you have something to say, please tell me."
"stop!"
The fairy sword [Green Dragon Sword] is full of spirituality. It smelled the evil aura and protected its owner on its own. The sword flew out of its sheath on the spot. The sound of the sword resounded through the cave, and the evil aura soared into the sky. Compared with the aura of the ancestor, it was not at a disadvantage in the slightest, and they competed with each other.
When Taoist Fu Hua saw this, he almost suffered a cerebral hemorrhage from anger.
What a filial disciple and great grandson!
"You...you two, master and disciple..."
Chu Chen saw that his ancestor Fu Hua was so angry that he couldn't speak. He just wanted to make peace and persuade his ancestor and master.
However, he hasn't spoken yet.
Outside the cave, there were bursts of loud noises, and faintly, there were transmission notes flying in a hurry.
Taoist Fu Hua looked unkind, glanced at Xu Ping, ignored it, stretched out his hand to take it, and without thinking, crushed the transmission talisman.
The next moment, a charming female voice came from the telegraph.
"Master, it's not good. My uncle became a demon and turned me and my junior brother into daughters. Please help us quickly..."
