Chapter 68 Practicing Qi
The world in the mirror, half a year later.
Three sword rays flew to Jinyang County.
There are two men and one woman on the flying sword. The man in the middle looks more mature, and the men and women on both sides are younger. Judging from the decoration, the woman may have a higher status.
The man in the middle is the Tian Yu that Hong Yi mentioned, and Ouyang Qing next to him is a descendant of the Jinyang Ouyang family. He joined the Great Sun Valley more than ten years ago and became an outer disciple.
Tian Yu's fingertips condensed a ball of bright red fire, and the flames shot directly into the village below, forming a long and narrow arc.
boom! !
More than a dozen houses collapsed, people were killed and injured, and the survivors were crying on the ground.
The three of them had no expressions, and even the kind-looking woman didn't have any dissatisfaction.
In their view, mortals are a different species from themselves.
"Senior Brother Tian's Sun Gold Slash skill has improved again, and I'm really envious of him." Ouyang Qing flattered him, "Senior Brother, is he almost ready to establish his foundation? When he is promoted to True Successor, I hope he can help me more."
"It's almost there, we still need some resources."
"You can go to the Wanxiang Tower. Hong Yi is secretive. He is probably pretending to be an authentic Xuanmen. This person has no one to rely on, so we just use this as an excuse to kill him."
Tian Yu was noncommittal and had already made a plan in his heart.
There are unspoken rules for a well-known and decent family. This kind of rules of life is unknown to the country bumpkin cultivating family.
I figured it out after a few contacts.
The three people flew away, leaving behind only a mess and the village that was burned to ashes by real fire.
There is no merit in cultivating immortals in this world. Because they have faced an environment of fighting and killing since childhood, monks naturally advocate decisive killing. It is their right to kill a few mortals. As long as it is not a large-scale massacre, basically no one will look for them. trouble.
Killing and being killed are eternal propositions in this world.
On the other side, Xu Xuan also saw the competition in this world and Hong Yi's plans.
If this guy Hong Yi didn't have great luck, he might have to run away again and again.
I am safer in this world, and I can still enjoy the resources of the entire world, without having to fight or get involved with others.
Next, just break through and practice Qi with peace of mind.
While someone was looking for trouble for Hong Yi, trouble also came from Tubo.
A month ago, King Lotus sent an envoy to Zhongjing, expressing his attitude of surrender, calling Xu Yong the Bodhisattva Emperor, and expressing his wish to go to Changsha to visit the Celestial Master in person.
Xu Yong seemed to be so excited that he agreed directly and promised the Lotus Karmapa that he could travel as he pleased.
Soon, King Lotus traveled to the Central Plains.
On the way, monks with twelve golden bowls guarded him and performed Dharma at various places along the way.
"Dharma King!! The revival of my teaching depends on you!" An old monk said excitedly with his eyes red.
"We are willing to die for you!"
"The Buddhist sect can't survive anymore, the Taoist sect is too powerful!"
It's not that Xu Xuan deliberately suppressed them, he didn't even suppress them. He just canceled the tax preferential treatment of Buddhism and Taoism, and even had to pay a poll tax.
Daomen didn't say anything, but they were anxious.
Invisibly, the Dharma King connected a group of Central Plains Buddhists and Buddhist believers.
As long as Xu Xuan is controlled, the great cause of replacing Tao with Buddha can be quickly completed.
"In the Central Plains, there is a myth about Buddhism seeking scriptures from the Western Heaven. Now I want to be the Tubo Xuanzang and spread the esoteric teachings throughout the Eastern Lands."
King Lotus said confidently.
As we drove all the way to Changsha, many Buddhists followed us spontaneously.
There are famous Zen masters and temple abbots.
Da da da……
The carriage drove along the official road.
There were people watching the excitement along the road. Seeing that it was a Buddhist deity, pedestrians and caravans gave way one after another.
"Master Dharma King, please accept our offerings!!"
Suddenly, a richly dressed middle-aged fat man came out of the carriage next to him. He was kneeling on the ground with a pious expression, and his hands beside him were holding food and gold and silver jewelry.
King Lotus opened the curtain, stepped out of the carriage, and helped the kneeling rich man up.
"Monks don't need any external possessions. If you have a kind heart, please share it with the people around you."
“Follow the master’s teachings!!”
Then everyone had a share, and the reputation of King Lotus suddenly became much higher.
"Everyone, the old monk is going to Yuelu Mountain to visit Xu Shenxian. The old monk will leave first. I hope you won't be surprised!"
"Master, walk slowly!"
"Walk slowly!"
King Lotus returned to the carriage, and his kind smile suddenly disappeared.
There is no doubt that the rich are the trustees they invited.
The rich man didn't have clairvoyance, so how could he know who was sitting in the carriage.
This is an old trick of King Lotus. Everywhere he goes, he will always do it again. On the one hand, he will strengthen the foundation of public opinion and on the other hand, he will promote the doctrine.
The carriage passed by cities one after another.
"Do you know? The mage from Tubo wants to discuss the Tao with Master Xu Tian."
"Is it the kind of fighting in the story? The kind of fight that turns mountains and rivers upside down?"
"I don't know, that's probably it."
"Who can win?"
"It must be Master Xu Tianshi!"
"I feel the same way. Old monks in the West are unreliable at first glance."
"The old can't beat the young, but I can challenge the old mage in a duel."
People along the road were talking endlessly. Because of the profound foundation of Baidi Sect, many people still felt that Xu Xuan could win.
This is to build momentum and use Xu Xuan's reputation to rise to power.
In the future, when the news of Xu Xuan's defeat comes out, the reputation of King Lotus will rise to a higher level and he will officially replace Xu Xuan as the national master, and Xu Xuan will naturally become his subordinate.
The purpose of building momentum is also to protect themselves. If the other party is really shameless and sends troops to surround and kill them, it will be difficult for King Lotus to escape for a while.
So they laid the groundwork in advance. They first put a high hat on Xu Yong and recognized his supreme legitimacy in the name of the Dharma King, which gave them no excuse to take action.
On the carriage, King Lotus closed his eyes and meditated, constantly reviewing the situation when facing Xu Xuan in the future.
Xu Xuan has a mysterious ability to avoid soldiers and detoxify. It should be some kind of ancient rare object, but this thing cannot block the mist.
If you calculate mentally but not intentionally, you will definitely succeed.
At that time, no matter whether it is a rare item or something else, it will all be yours.
Soon, everyone arrived at Yuelu Mountain.
Yuelu Mountain was heavily guarded for several miles, and the people were persuaded to leave. The leader of the Baidi Sect disciples came to greet him.
"I, Li Changsheng, the master of Baidi's guest hall, have met all the masters. Except for the followers, all the masters can go up the mountain."
"Excuse me, Taoist Master, to lead the way."
For some reason, King Lotus always felt that Li Changsheng's eyes were a little strange.
Soon, a group of more than twenty bald heads walked up the stairs.
Getting closer and closer to the top of the mountain, King Lotus was also a little nervous at the moment.
On the mountain, the weather is clear and cloudless.
The river flows around the mountains, overlooking Xiaoxiang.
There is an elegant bamboo forest next to Wangxiang Tower, and behind it is a relatively primitive forest.
"Ahead is where the Heavenly Master retreats!" Li Changsheng pointed at the Iron Bamboo Forest and said.
A group of monks are gearing up, preparing to use their sharp tongue to win this argument.
Wow!
At this time, the wind suddenly rose, and the weather on the top of the mountain changed color.
The leaves rustled down.
An inexplicable majestic aura spread out, birds flew around, and beasts fled.
All the monks were sweating profusely for some reason, and the strong wind made their clothes look disheveled.
Wow!
At this time, the bamboos in the bamboo forest separated automatically, and a figure slowly walked out.
This person looks like a young man, with long hair hanging loosely, a wide robe and big sleeves, a cheerful smile on his face, and his eyes filled with light purple.
"Elders, I have been waiting for a long time."
