On Fanjing Mountain, a hundred miles away from Phoenix City, almost at the same time, an even stranger thing happened; It's just that that's not acting.

The Bamboo Taoist has stayed near the top of the mountain for three whole days, and only in the dead of night does he jump to the highest mushroom rock and look at the red cloud and golden top from a distance.

There are still many incomprehensions in his heart about the battle with the Living Buddha Soonda three months ago.

On the first day of the new year, when the incense in the dojos was at its peak, the bamboo Taoist priest declined the invitation of several great immortals of the Taoist sect and came to Fanjing Mountain for two things.

On the first night, there was no wind and snow on the mushroom rock, and the sky was full of stars.

Revisiting the old place has the meaning of refining experience; Sitting on the mushroom rock and looking at the red cloud golden top not far away, the bamboo Taoist priest peeled himself off from the scene and recalled the situation from the perspective of a bystander.

Although Fanjing Mountain is not far from Phoenix, it is two different worlds.

Stars shine in the deep blue; It seems to be close at hand, and you can grasp it as soon as you reach out; It seems that the illusion is far away forever at the end of the void.

The bamboo Taoist priest raised the gourd and drank half a sip of bamboo flower wine; A slight drunkenness ripples with the heat; Delusions also arise; It seems that you can embrace everything in this natural starry sky with open arms.

He took out a half-foot-and-a-half bamboo knife and drew the word "qi" in the void.

In the distance, a cloud drifted in; The Bamboo Daoist seemed to see Liu Yilan again.

Twelve years ago, when Liu Yilan appeared in front of him dressed in plain clothes, the moment the four eyes met, the bamboo Taoist priest's pure-lived Dao heart rippled, and the pair of crystal flawless eyes were imprinted.

Today's Liu Yilan's eyes are no longer clear; She is already the eldest sister of the eight-pin orchid.

"Why do you think of her again?" The bamboo Taoist priest put down the half-foot-and-a-half bamboo knife and took a breath.

On that winter night nine years ago, Liu Yilan became bored with the light life, and finally left her book and left.

Although the bamboo Taoist priest is indifferent on the surface, he has closed his feelings; After that, he devoted himself to monasticism; It took three years to travel all over the world, taking nature as a teacher, and finally achieving a clear heart of mountains and rivers.

For the future of Taoism, the bamboo Taoist priest used to be in a trance; There is a force within the opposition to the "tranquility and desirelessness, return to the basics, and natural Taoism" advocated by the Bamboo Daoist, and the influence of the Bamboo Taoist on weakening the "Jindan Dao", especially the weakening of the Waidan Taoism that pursues "immortality" through elixirs, has aroused fierce opposition from the retro school in the Dao that is deeply involved.

In the secular society, the influence of Taoism has lagged far behind Buddhism, and in the bustling cities, Taoism is not even comparable to the Christianity and Catholicism of foreigners; The Bamboo Taoist priest knew that Taoism needed to be reformed, otherwise it would be completely abandoned by nature and society; But after this injury, the bamboo Taoist priest made up his mind to carry out a rebirth-style reorganization within the Taoist sect.

Historically, the death of Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, Emperor Jiajing of the Ming Dynasty and Emperor Yongzheng of the Qing Dynasty, who were favored by Taoism, was not unrelated to the "golden pill" practiced by taking a large number of Taoist alchemy, which also directly caused the three great declines of Taoism in history. Facts have proved that the extreme part of the Waidan Dao has become a heavy burden on the Dao Sect.

The contradiction in Taoist theory is easy to handle, and any text is interpreted by later generations; The "Tao and Nature" written by the bamboo Taoist priest will be based on Yin and Yang Taiji, integrate the ideas of the "Tao Te Ching", and standardize Taoism under the banner of caring for nature and understanding nature.

The Bamboo Daoist first took the Taixuanguan Elder Sun Daochang who misled people with evil arts, and the Dao Sect Fire Elder and Dao Yin Yu Xuanzhen had already gone to arrest him; This is also the requirement of the three-pint blue stone, and the eldest grandson actually hooked up with the four-pins red hook Wang Han, secretly calculating the darling of the rivers and lakes Zhu Tong.

In both public and private, the Bamboo Taoist priests can no longer tolerate the reverse current in the Dao with peace.

Looking up at the void at night, the gorgeous and deep starry sky is flowing and clear, and the bamboo Taoist priest is filled with this sacred and psychedelic volume; He stood in the wind, experiencing the growth of the pure heart of the mountains and rivers, and seemed to be waiting for the baptism of strangers.

Four people came from afar, and a few of them had climbed up the high mushroom rock and met with the Taoist Bamboo Daoist.

Among them, the sword-eyed star is heroic, with a short beard flowing under his cheeks, and carries a seven-star sword; There is no fire in the walk, and it is obvious that the cultivation is profound.

He is the number two person in the Second Rank Dao Sect, Dao Yin Yuxuan Zhenren.

The one on Yu Xuan's left is thin, with sharp-beaked monkey gills, but he is wearing a red fire; He is the Fire Elder among the five elders of the Dao Sect, and he is the most jealous and hateful, and has a fiery temperament.

The handsome young man in the back is Xuan Qi, a disciple of Yu Xuan Zhenren; There is a yellow-clothed Taoist priest sandwiched under his ribs. There was a hint of pride in his expression.

"Natural selection, survival of the fittest; Eldest Sun Dao Chief, although you have bewitched many believers, relying on the Dao cultivation techniques that should have been eliminated long ago by relying on the Divine Fight and the Ghost Altar will sooner or later bring disaster to our Dao Sect. Elder Fire went to warn you to stop from the precipice, but you falsely accused you of being an evil demon; Today, this sect cleans up the portal for the Dao Gate and punishes you to enter the Thousand Light Rock for ten years. Eldest grandson, do you have anything else to say?"

The bamboo Taoist priest looked at the yellow-clothed Taoist and said softly: "There are many contradictions in the rivers and lakes, why did you help outsiders to murder the head of the Zhumen?" With this one crime alone, you can be abolished and your six senses closed and expelled from the Dao Gate. ”

The eldest grandson Taoist was the yellow-clothed Taoist priest who had fled from the stone house by the sea, and now his expression was abrupt, and the black beads hanging in his ears had become bright red.

Xuan Qi unlocked his closed acupoint, and the eldest grandson Dao Chang was rude, raised his head to the sky, and only said weakly: "You are right no matter what you say, of course, whatever you say." ”

"Dowie, is it okay to deal with it like this?" The Bamboo Daoist ignored the president Sun Daochang, and turned his head to ask for the opinion of Yu Xuan Zhenren.

The real person glanced at the eldest grandson, and arched his hand: "What the Dao Sect said is extremely true, if you don't severely punish these Dao scum severely, you will always drag down the sect." ”

Yu Xuan Zhenren represents the Taiji Sword Sect, which is quite powerful in the Dao Sect, and cultivates the authentic Inner Dan Dao Method; has always scoffed at the Waidan mysticism. The bamboo Taoist priest asked him to come forward to capture the eldest grandson Daochang, just as Yu Xuan intended.

"Daozong, tonight is full of stars, and it is the first day of the new year; That's the end of the matter of the eldest grandson, and let Xuan Qi solve him into the Thousand Light Rock to think. I wanted to drink the bamboo flower wine of the Taoist sect for a long time, so I brought a few side dishes, and I had to ask the Taoist sect for some doubts. ”

Yu Xuan Zhenren said, untied a skin bag from his waist, and spread it on the mushroom rock, sure enough, there were several wine and vegetables wrapped in oil paper, and there were meat and vegetables.

"Dao Yi has worked hard all the way, and the elders have worked hard all the way, but there is not much bamboo flower wine." The bamboo Taoist priest said lightly and handed the gourd over; "Dao Yin, please say something."

Since defeating the Five Elements Formation of the Five Great Elders of the Dao Sect six years ago and taking charge of the Second Rank Dao Sect, the Bamboo Daoist has been lenient and strict with the inside, and the rewards and defeats are strict and decisive, and he has never gotten too close to any faction; Usually I have a lot of discussions with Yu Xuan Zhenren, but I only drink three times together.

But today is very strange, the news that the bamboo Taoist is seriously injured spreads all over the rivers and lakes, Yu Xuan Zhenren is not considerate at this time, and he also wants to avoid suspicion, how can he still invite the Taoist sect to sit at the same table?

"The rivers and lakes have been talking about Jiangnan Hidden Treasures and Yin Yang Drums recently, I don't know what preparations the sect has? A few days ago, the Golden Buddha in Shanghai Fuxian Temple invited the same people from the rivers and lakes, if we have no response, we are afraid of ......"

What Yu Xuan Zhenren said is also true, the competition between the first-grade Golden Buddha and the second-grade Taoist sect has been around for a long time; For the mysterious treasures that contain the Taoist treasure Yin Yang Drum and the Dao Treasure Book, the Second Grade Dao Sect really shouldn't be so quiet.

However, the legend of the treasure of the bamboo Taoist priest has just begun to circulate because he has already passed down the Taoist decree, asking the disciples of the Erpin Taoist Sect to abide by their duties and not to get involved in it; And after the two jade seals appeared, it was emphasized again: Taoist disciples should not be greedy, and they are not allowed to gather in Jiangnan to participate in the treasure hunt.

At this moment, why did Yu Xuan Zhenren rashly mention this matter?

The mushroom rock stands in the air, and the wind blowing in all directions will lift people's clothes; The bamboo Taoist priest's face flushed, knowing that the injury in his body was about to attack again, he took out the bamboo flute and played a song.

The blue starry sky became extremely soft in the melodious sound of the flute, and the pure heart of the bamboo Taoist priest suddenly connected to the magical amount of the vast universe under the heavy pressure, playing a fairy song of fate and life, hope and dream.

The faint flute rippled into their hearts, leading them into the world of Taoist understanding.

The sound of the flute was quiet, and the pilgrims on the golden top of the red cloud on the opposite side were also alarmed, and they all went to the edge of the cliff to visit.

With the help of this song, the bamboo Taoist priest has a clear understanding of the situation in front of him.

Xuan Qi is young in the end, and his composure is more than a step worse; He felt the sound of the flute the most, and the hostility and fear in his heart were fully expressed.

Around the mushroom rock, someone has quietly approached.

The bamboo Taoist sighed slightly in his heart and stopped the bamboo flute.

"This song is called "Stars", Dao Yin, is the yin and yang drum really so important to Daomen? When you come to see Elder Huo today, do you want to ask me to give up the position of the Debut Sect so that you can show your talents?"

Yu Xuan Zhenren didn't expect the Bamboo Daoist to say this, so he embarrassedly covered up: "How can the Daoist Sect say that? It's just that the yin and yang drum is the real holy relic of the Dao Saint Sanfeng of this sect, if it is obtained by unrelated people, I am afraid that it will not be easy to explain to the Holy Ancestor of the Dao Sect, and it will not be easy to explain to the disciples of the Dao Sect. ”

The Bamboo Daoist shook his head slightly, ignored him anymore, and looked at the thin Fire Elder: "Fire Elder, do you think so?" I have always thought that with the character of an elder, it is incompatible with the Taoist Taoist cultivation of quiet and inaction; It is only because the Five Elements Elders of the Dao Sect represent the long-term Dao system of the Dao Sect, representing justice and light. Alas, I didn't expect that. Elder Huo, what did the Bamboo Daoist do inappropriately, it is worth the elder to be willing to do all the things that hurt the heavens and reason, and I don't know how many people have been ruined?"

These words were quite serious, and Elder Fire was not good at words, so he only turned his head to look into the distance.

The mushroom rock really stirred, and a figure swept out from the shadow of the mountain, and a few ups and downs broke through the barrier of the disciples of the Sword Sect under the mushroom rock.

The bamboo Taoist priest smiled, and a slender beauty** appeared on the mushroom rock.

It looks dignified and graceful, and it is like a willow swinging in the wind when walking, and it has a natural charm and charm.

"Senior Brother Yu Xuan, I didn't expect you to be so disregarding the overall situation; Even if the Taoist Sect can be forced to retreat today, how can he explain it to the rivers and lakes? How do you stand upright in front of the disciples in the Dao?"

The person who came was Liu Yilan, and at her finger, a majestic illusory figure faintly appeared on the red cloud golden top in the distance, which was the living Buddha of Butian Temple, Suo Wenda, who exerted his magical powers, and blessed the pilgrims who worshipped.
