When the two returned to Shaolin, it was already more than an hour later.

And this Shaolin Conference has already come to an end, and even those people in the rivers and lakes have already left.

"Daoist Qingzhi, Brother Qiao, you're back." Seeing the figures of the two of them returning, Duan Yu, who had been guarding here, hurriedly greeted him.

Lu Zhi nodded at him, and Qiao Feng also greeted him, saying, "Brother Duan, is my father okay?" And those martial arts heroes, they also left? ”

Duan Yu glanced at the two of them before he said, "Brother Qiao, don't worry, Sister Azhu has been guarding Old Hero Xiao." ”

"Also... Master Xuanci passed away two hours ago. ”

It turned out that when Lu Zhi and Qiao Feng pursued the sweeping monk and Murong Bo, Xiao Yuanshan did not let go of Xuan Ci, and directly told Xuan Ci and Ye Erniang in front of the public...

There is no better weapon in the world than 'tearing wounds'.

The old affair between Xuan Ci and Ye Erniang suddenly pushed Xuan Ci and Shaolin to the cusp, and finally, in order to protect Shaolin's reputation, Xuan Ci was punished and punished with 300 spines.

But Xuan Ci also knew very well that just three hundred spinal rods could not change everyone's minds, nor could he stop the mouths of the people every day, so for the sake of Shaolin's reputation, he did not resist with his true qi at all, and after resisting ninety-six sticks stiffly, he was finally seriously injured and coughed up blood and died.

Hearing this news, Lu Zhi and Qiao Feng were silent for a long time.

This Xuan Ci is dead, and after that, Shaolin's affairs will be a little difficult to do, if the next abbot refuses to obey the imperial court's punishment arrangement, Zhao Xu will really be ruthless to Shaolin.

Fortunately, Lu Zhi's worries were superfluous, and Xuan Ci had already arranged this matter before he was tortured, so he didn't have to worry too much about things changing temporarily.

After all, after this battle, the monks of Shaolin, no matter how stupid they are, can recognize that the general trend is irreversible, and if they resist fiercely, they will only ask for their own hardships.

Several people returned to the Shaolin Temple Square, and sure enough, they saw a flame platform in the middle of the field, which was burning, obviously cremating Xuanci.

And many Shaolin monks are sitting around the field, reciting the Dizang Sutra for Xuan Ci, and surpassing his death.

Seeing this, several people did not step forward to disturb these monks again, but turned around and came to the corner of the square, where Xiao Yuanshan, A Zhu, Duan Zhengchun and others were waiting.

"Father." The moment he saw Xiao Yuanshan, Qiao Feng was stunned for a moment, and then walked towards him quickly, "Father, what's wrong with you?" Why..."

At this moment, Xiao Yuanshan's beard has turned into a snow-white hair, and his face is full of wrinkles, and he has suddenly aged more than ten years!

Xiao Yuanshan slowly raised his head and looked at Qiao Feng: "Feng'er, you're back.. Don't worry, it's okay for my father, I'm just a little tired and want to go to your mother early. ”

Lu Zhi also sighed: "Senior Xiao, why is this so? ”

How could he not see that Xiao Yuanshan's situation was obviously that he had scattered his skills and lost all his strength, which led to the sudden aging to this point, almost dying.

Xiao Yuanshan shook his head: "I'm really tired, in the past few decades, I have been devoted to this matter of revenge... Let Feng'er your mother wait for me below for so long, but it's not mine, I'm finally going to find her now. ”

"Feng'er, you don't have to be sad for me, just live a good life with Azhu in the future, you just need to be plain and bland, and you will be happy."

"By the way, you have to protect Azhu well, and you can't let anyone hurt a hair of her, otherwise, my father won't spare you..."

Qiao Feng responded: "Yes, children must obey their father's orders." ”

After waiting for several breaths, he didn't hear Xiao Yuanshan's response, and then looking at his appearance with his eyelids lowered, Qiao Feng suddenly sighed in his heart.

"Father?!"

Lu Zhi said softly: "Brother Qiao, Senior Xiao... It's gone. ”

Qiao Feng's face suddenly stiffened, pursed his lips, and after being silent for a few breaths, he took a few steps back, knelt heavily on his knees, and kowtowed three times at Xiao Yuanshan.

Seeing this, Ah Zhu also walked to Qiao Feng's side in silence, and like him, he kowtowed to Xiao Yuanshan to see him off.

This Shaolin Conference was really full of twists and turns, and before that, no one thought that things would eventually turn out like this.

Two days later, the news of the death of the abbot of Shaolin Xuanci spread throughout the rivers and lakes, and the rumors of Shaolin sweeping monks, Qiao Feng and his sons, and Lu Zhidaoren, a master of the imperial court, caused a storm in the rivers and lakes.

Subsequently, half a month later, Shaolin announced that it would close the mountain from now on, and within 20 years, it would no longer intervene in the affairs of the rivers and lakes.

Lu Zhi also returned to the school bookstore in Bianliang City, studying the Taoist scriptures every day and compiling the Wanshou Taoist Collection, while retreating to understand the harvest of the battle with the sweeping monks.

In the previous battle with the sweeping monk, Lu Zhi had already seen the road ahead clearly, and he also felt the special 'potential' at close range.

What he has to do now is to use this insight to complete his own practice of his own way.

Time flies, eight years have passed in a blink of an eye, and on this day, Lu Zhi finally compiled the last volume of the Taoist Sutra into the Taoist Collection.

After nearly ten years, the Wanshou Daozang was finally compiled, with a total of 540 letters and 5,481 volumes, in which countless articles have been turned into food for Lu Zhi!

The next day, hearing that the Wanshou Daozang had been completed, Zhao Xudang sent the Yellow Gate to the school bookstore to verify and reward, but Lu Zhi had already disappeared.

In the end, they only found a letter of resignation left by Lu Zhi in Lu Zhi's house, but as for his people, they had already left Bianliang and traveled the world.

The main reason why Lu Zhi has stayed in Bianliang City for so many years is that this Wanshou Daozang has been completed, and now that the Wanshou Daozang has been completed, it is meaningless for him to stay any longer.

As for Zhao Xu's reward, it was not attractive to Lu Zhi at all, and the power and wealth in the world were just floating clouds for him.

In the next few years, Lu Zhi went to the Valley of the Deaf and Dumb, drank tea and played chess with Wuyazi, also went to the Ethereal Peak of the Tianshan Mountains, sat and discussed with Grandma Tong, and also went to Dali, witnessed Duan Yu's ascension to the throne, and also came to the foot of Shaomu Mountain, drinking the full moon wine of Qiao Feng's fifth child...

In the end, he came to the Kunlun Mountain alone, found the valley in the later generations, and closed the dead pass from then on.

Since then, many legends have suddenly emerged in the Kunlun Mountains.

Someone once said that on a full moon night, he saw the starry light and moonlight in the sky falling from the sky, like the waterfall of the horse, thrown into the Kunlun Mountains.

Some people also say that he once saw on the Kunlun Sacred Mountain in the early morning of one day, suddenly blooming with a golden light, shining between the heaven and the earth...

Some people also say that in the Kunlun Mountains, there lives a fairy, who is dressed in Taoist robes and carries a long sword, and always looks like a teenager...

Most people in the world do not know whether these rumors are true or not, and only those who have witnessed these 'miracles' know that these are not nonsense.

The seasons change, and the valley is still like spring all year round, and later, even Lu Zhi can't remember how many years have passed.

Practicing in the mountains, I don't know how many years have passed, Lu Zhi no longer knows what has become of this world.

After years of penance, Lu Zhi finally broke through the heavenly barrier today and reached the realm of entering the Dao!

On this day, in the Kunlun Mountains, the wind and clouds suddenly changed... Someone saw a golden light rising from the Kunlun Mountains, soaring into the sky!

According to the people present, I saw a pillar of golden light rising into the sky, straight into the nine heavens, and a Taoist who looked like a young man bathed in the pillar of light, step by step walked up to the nine heavens, and ascended to the Dao!
