Zhao Guizhen's original name was Zhao Fu'an. He was born in the reign of Emperor Xuanzong and was a child of a farmer's family in Zhongnan Mountain.
Because his family was poor since he was a child, Zhao Guizhen's family was unable to support him, so they sent him to a Taoist temple, where he officially became a boy in Xianyun Temple.
Perhaps because of his natural handsomeness and extraordinary intelligence, Zhao Guizhen has been deeply loved by everyone in the Taoist temple since he joined Xianyun Temple. His master even taught Taoism privately regardless of the rules.
Of course, at that time, Zhao Guizhen had not yet joined Fu Lu Tao, and the Tao methods he practiced were the most basic Qi training methods.
However, it is these most basic Qi training methods that laid the foundation for Zhao Guizhen's personal cultivation.
If it were during the Baijia Period of Pre-Qin, a pure Qi practitioner like Zhao Guizhen would be called a "Qi Practitioner".
Taoist practitioners and Qigong practitioners, this seems to be just a simple name change, but in fact it is a fundamental difference.
Taoist practitioners include alchemy cultivators, sword cultivators, and talisman cultivators.
However, Qi Practitioners specifically refer to Qi cultivation and have unparalleled advantages in seeking good fortune, avoiding disaster, and predicting heavenly secrets.
Therefore, when the brothers in Xianyunguan entered the world to practice Buddhism one after another, Zhao Guizhen also chose to leave the place where he grew up and officially started his journey of seeking the Tao.
During this period, Zhao Guizhen encountered many demons and ghosts, and also met many practitioners of different factions.
It's just that these guys are different from the "immortals" Zhao Guizhen imagined, until he met Gui Xuanzi, who had an immortal spirit and white eyebrows reaching his shoulders.
As a direct descendant of the Fu Lu Tao lineage, although Gui Xuanzi has unparalleled cultivation in Taoism, his unreliable character is also well known.
Even accepting Zhao Guizhen as his direct disciple was because of his handsome face.
In the words of Gui Xuanzi afterwards, if a person is more handsome and has a more elegant temperament, it will be easier than others to walk around and even beg for alms.
Zhao Guizhen had suspected countless times that Gui Xuanzi accepted him as his disciple just so that he could run errands for him.
Fortunately, Gui Xuanzi was unreliable, but for his only disciple, he still taught him as much as possible.
Even when Zhao Guizhen insisted on the Qi refining method of Xianyun Temple and did not want to change the door, he just laughed it off easily and had no intention of forcing the other party.
From that time on, Zhao Guizhen knew that as a cheap master, he not only had the spirit of an immortal, but his acting style was also somewhat like that of an immortal.
During the days when he was practicing with Gui Xuanzi, Zhao Guizhen felt an unprecedented sense of relief.
Unfortunately, such days did not last long.
After Guixuanzi, who was approaching his longevity, took Zhao Guizhen back to Zhongnan Ancestral Temple for the first and last time, he left this world with a smile.
Before he died, Gui Xuanzi's last words to Zhao Guizhen were - my lineage's choice of disciples all depends on fate and God's will. If you can't find a satisfactory disciple in the future, you don't have to force it for incense. It only means that Fu Lu's lineage This is the reason for our inheritance.
Then, Zhao Guizhen, who was alone again, embarked on a journey around Kyushu.
But this time, Zhao Guizhen found his "Tao" and will no longer be confused.
So during the long journey that followed, Zhao Guizhen met Zen Master Lingyou who had just left the mountain, encountered the vision of a white dragon flying into the sky, and became famous in the land of China.
But this is not enough. Zhao Guizhen wants to see the end of this world and know what kind of world is beyond Kyushu.
Heartbeat is not as good as action, let alone a seeker like Zhao Guizhen with strong action ability.
Zhao Guizhen searched for the legendary Three Immortals Island on the coast of the East China Sea...
Zhao Guizhen saw the wonder of "a whale falls and everything comes alive" at the corner of Nanyang...
Zhao Guizhen experienced the endless glow of day and night in the far north...
Zhao Guizhen challenged the everlasting sandstorm in Mobei outside the Great Wall...
Finally, Zhao Guizhen also explored ancient exotic gods on the glacier island in the far west...
If Zen Master Lingyou hadn't forced his way into Zhongnan Mountain at this time and alerted the powerful Taoist sects, Zhao Guizhen's journey of exploration would have continued.
To be honest, after seeing the world outside Jiuzhou, it was difficult for Zhao Guizhen to have much interest in the dispute between Buddhism and Taoism in the Tang Dynasty.
Whether it is the mysterious pyramids, the lost civilizations in the Mesopotamia, or the exotic gods in the northern polar regions...
Which of these things is not more interesting than the dispute between Buddhism and Taoism?
However, although Zhao Guizhen was a loner and had received instructions from Gui Xuanzi on his deathbed, his roots were still in the Tang Dynasty.
Therefore, when he received the news from the brothers of Xianyun Temple, Zhao Guizhen returned to Chang'an and his birthplace without hesitation.
This is how Zhao Guizhen first intercepted Zen Master Lingyou at Zhongnan Mountain, and then became a master of the Tang Dynasty.
The former was just done casually, but the latter was the last wish of the master of Xianyun Temple...
Born in the prosperous Tang Dynasty, it also experienced the Anshi Rebellion...
The owner of Xianyun Temple watched the Tang Dynasty turn from prosperity to decline, so he did not want to see his country decline.
It is a pity that the master of Xianyun Temple is just an ordinary Taoist priest and does not have the ability to save the building from falling.
In fact, let alone the temple owner, looking at the entire Xianyun Temple, there are only a few Taoist priests who are truly capable, wise, and enlightened.
Of course, the last wish of the master of Xianyun Temple finally fell on Zhao Guizhen's shoulders.
For more than 20 years, Zhao Guizhen devoted all his efforts and tried every means to achieve the short-term glory of the Wuzong period.
After realizing that nothing could be done, Zhao Guizhen left everything to Hui Ji without any hesitation, and returned to Zhongnan Mountain with only Zi Yang and Li Gang.
Yes, Zhao Guizhen took almost nothing with him when he left Chang'an.
And less than a month after Zhao Guizhen returned to Zhongnan Mountain, he died of exhaustion.
This kind of decline comes from the inside out. Even if Zhao Guizhen cultivates into Yang Shen and has the ability to incarnate in thousands of ways, he cannot prevent this kind of death caused by mental exhaustion.
Just like when he was in Chang'an, Xuan Jue commented on Zhao Guizhen - he was looking for death.
Only the "Dongtian in the Mirror" relied on its own particularity to retain Zhao Guizhen's last ray of immortality.
Regrettably, even with this last ray of Yang Shen's existence, Zhao Guizhen did not take the opportunity to resurrect, but chose to let go completely.
Whether it is the Linglong Pagoda or the future of the Tang Dynasty...
Zhao Guizhen was tired. He no longer wanted to shoulder such a heavy responsibility.
As for Pei Wende, the junior who "volunteered" to take on this responsibility?
All Zhao Guizhen could provide him was the last clue about Xuan Jue's reincarnation.
