In the backyard of the Taoist temple, peach blossoms are falling.
Jin Yan stared at his senior brother, while Qin Luo sat cross-legged on the Taoist platform and meditated. His long hair was scattered, and the rays of light fell on his body, blending with the light and dust, as if he was integrated with the heaven and earth.
Qin Luo's consciousness is in the interior. He is thinking about why man and nature fight. He doesn't like fighting. He neither supports man's victory over heaven nor nature's victory over man.
Xiao Tuanzi returned to the Taoist temple with a big fish that was many times bigger than his body, but Jin Yan made a silent gesture towards it, not wanting it to disturb his senior brother's meditation.
Seeing Qin Luo meditating, Xiao Tuanzi left wisely and threw the big fish outside the Taoist temple.
Jinjiao was overjoyed.
It holds the fish in its arms and feasts on it.
late at night.
The Taoist temple was surprisingly quiet.
The full moon in the sky is reflected in the water tank.
Qin Luo sat cross-legged on the Taoist platform alone. He slowly opened his eyes and thought for a long time without finding an answer.
Zhang Fulong came to the backyard. He put his hands behind his back and said with a deep look in his eyes: "Qin Luo, if you go to this Taoism Conference, there is a high probability that you will never come back."
Qin Luo asked with a smile: "Master, if I don't go to the capital to discuss Taoism, will they just give up?"
"Won't."
"But you can leave Longhu Temple."
"There's too much cause and effect here!"
Zhang Fulong shook his head helplessly.
Qin Luo said with firm eyes: "Disciple will not leave Longhu Temple when there is trouble."
Zhang Fulong smiled. He looked at the old peach tree with infinite sentimentality in his eyes, "The great catastrophe is coming, and both the palaces in heaven and the dynasties on earth will cease to exist."
Qin Luo stood up and said respectfully: "Master, what kind of disaster is this?"
Zhang Fulong sighed softly, "Every ten thousand years, a catastrophe will occur in the world, which will take away countless lives and change the order of the world."
"Is this the source of the struggle between heaven and man?"
"That's right."
Zhang Fulong nodded and said solemnly: "Heaven does not allow order to threaten His existence. It will clean up this world every once in a while, just like you clean Taoist temples. In His eyes, it is just too much garbage on the ground."
Qin Luo suddenly realized, "Master, so the decline of heaven is also related to the great catastrophe?"
"It's related, but the main reason for the decline of Heavenly Court is internal conflicts." Zhang Fulong shook his head and sighed, "The failure of Heavenly Court was due to its lack of unity."
Qin Luo felt that what the master said was very reasonable. Back then, the underworld chose to watch, but now it is the worst.
"Master, why was our ancestor expelled from the master by Daozu?" This is a question that has troubled Qin Luo for a long time.
Zhang Fulong smiled bitterly and said: "This goes back to the original struggle between heaven and man. Daozu wanted to maintain the order established by heaven, but he advised Daozu not to go against heaven."
"I see!"
Qin Luo looked at Zhang Fulong, "Master, I think Grandmaster still supports Daozu."
Although the founder of Longhu Temple was expelled from his master by Taozu, he still worshiped Taozu.
Zhang Fulong said with a smile, "That's natural, but he doesn't believe that man can conquer nature. Do you believe it?"
Qin Luo smiled and replied, "Master, man may not be able to defeat heaven, but I think heaven and man can coexist."
Zhang Fulong nodded happily, "Yes, in fact, Daozu had the same idea back then, so he chose to reason with heaven."
"How is the result?"
Qin Luo's eyes were very curious.
Zhang Fulong looked at the vast starry sky, "In the end, the way of heaven collapsed, and the Taoist ancestor died. He blocked the catastrophe for the heaven, but the heaven still fell apart!"
Qin Luo raised his head. He looked at the bright moonlight. No wonder he felt that there was something missing in the world. It turned out that it was the Dao Ancestor who destroyed the way of heaven, causing many rules to be incomplete.
"Master, since the way of heaven has collapsed, why is the catastrophe approaching?"
"The collapse of Heavenly Dao does not mean that he is dead. Those who cannot kill him will make him stronger. He will take back the power that belongs to him. Only the existence beyond Dao Ancestor can stop him!"
"Perhaps I can persuade him."
Qin Luo felt that he was close to this world.
Zhang Fulong looked at Qin Luo and said, "If you can get the Taoist treasure left by the Taoist ancestor, you may be able to reason with him."
"Daozang?"
Qin Luo murmured softly.
Zhang Fulong clasped his hands behind his back and looked to the south, "The inheritance left by the Taoist ancestors may be in the Supreme View."
Qin Luo felt that it was necessary for him to go to the royal capital. He said seriously: "Master, even if the royal capital is a dragon's pond and a tiger's den, I still want to see it."
"You are braver than me."
"This is the disciple's intuition."
Zhang Fulong suddenly asked curiously: "Qin Luo, have you never doubted who I am?"
Qin Luo shook his head.
Does Master have other identities?
Zhang Fulong smiled and turned around. He walked towards the depths of the Taoist temple and murmured: "I am Zhang Fulong."
Qin Luo no longer thought about these complicated things. He returned to the room and read the message Huaying wrote on the wall again, then lay on the bed to rest and listen to his breathing.
The next day, early morning.
Qin Luo came to the foot of Luoxia Peak.
It's still early, Zhao Qing'er is making porridge in the porridge shop, and Qin Luo comes to the porridge shop.
"Miss Zhao, I have something to tell you."
"Master Immortal, what's going on?"
Zhao Qing'er raised his eyebrows.
"I see that you usually teach reading and literacy to children in the mountains at the porridge shop. I want to build an academy in the mountains."
"OK."
Zhao Qing'er said with a smile on her pretty face, "I have thought about this a long time ago. The Zhao family can pay for it."
Qin Luo shook his head slightly, "With this money, I want to ask Miss Zhao to be my teacher."
Zhao Qing'er felt that she was not qualified, but Qin Luo took the initiative to invite her, so she decided to give it a try, "Okay."
Qin Luo left the porridge shop. He chose a site in the mountains and found a flat wasteland next to Jinghu Lake, which was very close to Chenjiagou. "This is a good place."
When the Landlord of Jinghu Lake saw Qin Luo, he immediately appeared, "Great Immortal, are you here for something?"
"Senior, who does this land belong to?"
“This is wasteland that no one wants.”
Qin Luo pointed to the wasteland, "I am going to build an academy here. I have already thought of a name. It will be called Jinghu Academy."
"This is good!"
The Tudigong of Jinghu Lake is very happy. When this place becomes lively in the future, the incense in the Tutu Temple will also be strong.
The silver-haired dragon girl appeared next to Qin Luo. She said respectfully with a pretty face: "Sir, when will you go to the capital?"
Qin Luo looked at Linglong, thinking of the conversation with his master, and said in a deep voice: "This trip has great risks. If you follow me, it will be very dangerous. I don't want anything to happen to you."
"I'm not afraid of danger, and I'm not afraid of death, but if it will drag down my husband, then I won't go."
Linglong didn't want to cause trouble to Qin Luo.
Qin Luo could feel her change, "If I can find the national master in the capital, I will seek justice for you."
"I want to build an academy here, and I will definitely need manpower when the time comes. If you are free, I would like to ask for your help."
Linglong raised her head, with light in her eyes, "Okay, I'll wait here for Mr.'s good news!"
Qin Luo said solemnly: "After the threat to the Royal Capital is eliminated, I will take you to the Royal Capital again. After all, I have pulled the strings, and I will not forget it."
"Uh-huh."
Linglong nodded heavily.
...
Zhang Fulong came to the porridge shop to drink porridge.
The children in the porridge shop gathered around and said, "Thank you, old immortal master, you are such a good person."
Zhang Fulong looked confused, "What did I do?"
Zhao Qing'er chuckled sweetly, "Master Qin said that Longhu Temple will build an academy, so they are happy."
"ah?"
Zhang Fulong's eyes widened.
"Old immortal master, you are so awesome."
"Old immortal master, I want to go to the academy to study."
"Old immortal master, can the academy teach spells?"
Zhang Fulong's eyes widened. He was not willing to spend money to improve his life, but he also spent money to build an academy?
Qin Luo came to the porridge shop and said, "Master, there is a piece of wasteland next to Jinghu Lake, and the disciple wants to build an academy there."
"I live next to Mirror Lake!"
Some children said excitedly.
Zhang Fulong looked at the joyful smiles on the children's faces and sighed softly, "My teacher supports you, but remember to discuss it with your teacher next time!"
"Okay, Master."
Qin Luo knew that the master would agree.
"I want to drink five bowls of porridge today, no, ten bowls." Zhang Fulong's heart was bleeding. He originally thought he could take advantage of the free porridge, but he didn't expect that he would be tricked by his apprentice in the end.
