All forces cannot be monolithic.

The Han Dynasty fought for power.

Eight great families, fighting openly and secretly.

Immortal Taoism, naturally, also has a clear faction.

On Kunlun Mountain, the Queen Mother of the West and the Prince of the East protect humanity, after all, it is a Gu Immortal outside the Fangwai, and the Han also has to support his Taoist forces.

For example, in later generations, he was called Zhang Daoling by Taoists, and Zhang Ling, who was passed down by Taishang.

Thirty years ago, Zhang Ling ascended to the heavenly realm in Yuntai, as the eighth grandson of Zhang Liang, he was rooted in red seedlings, and the Heavenly Master Taoism left behind was recognized by the Han Dynasty.

What Gu Cheng didn't expect was that Shi Ziyi was actually Zhang Ling's apprentice.

If you ask who Shi Ziyi is?

Before Gu Cheng was nine years old, Empress He was afraid that he would die like the previous sons of Emperor Ling, so he kept his example in Shi Ziyi's Taoist temple.

The impression that this Shi Ziyi gave to Gu Cheng was that he was a standard layman, who meditated every day, and was indifferent.

So if it weren't for Jia Xu's reminder, Gu Cheng wouldn't have thought of him at all.

"Your Highness, that man is here today!"

Jia Xu had obviously done his homework, and he was still a few miles away from the Taoist temple, holding an ink pen in his hand, swaying it in the void, writing a "hidden" word, and everyone's figures disappeared directly.

Even so, Zhu Rong's family also guarded Gu Cheng for the first time to ensure that nothing went wrong.

"Is there a fight in the Taoist temple? Zhu Rong, you take Cai Yan and go back to Chengqian Palace first! Use the power of the female stream to ensure that Cai Yong is safe in Xiangyang!"

Gu Cheng raised his eyebrows, the dragon pattern in his palm shone up, turned into a cloak and draped it on his shoulders, and he waved his hand and commanded.

"Yes!"

Zhu Rong's obeyed the order, Cai Wenji's heart warmed, and she saluted and retreated into the darkness.

The two girls left, Gu Cheng and Jia Xu walked towards the Taoist temple, stepped in, the world changed, and they actually arrived at a paradise with beautiful mountains and rivers, birds and flowers.

Don't have a cave!

"This is actually a cave treasure?"

Gu Cheng was a little surprised in his eyes.

The treasure of the cave is no better than others, although it may not reach the level of a mysterious weapon, but it must also be a famous treasure to open up a cave sky.

It is said that the reason why the eight great families in the world can be listed as first-class is because they each hold a cave treasure weapon, and their children are much faster than the outside world in it, whether they are studying and cultivating qi, or practicing martial arts.

The Taoist temple where Shi Ziyi lives is actually a cave treasure, which shows that he has a very high status in the Heavenly Master Dao.

"Your Highness, please look!"

Jia Xu looked at the sky for the first time.

Gu Cheng followed his gaze and saw two figures in the sky, fighting in the air.

"There are outsiders!"

"Fight quickly, hand over the Heavenly Master Seal!"

A Taoist on the left has a face like a crown of jade, his expression is majestic, and his palm is pressed, like thunder and heavenly might, mighty and fierce.

In the dark, there seemed to be an invisible force in the sky that collapsed, and the thunder broke through the sky and struck down!

Five Thunder Heavenly Heart Dharma!

Another old Taoist wore a gray robe, pulled a bun, his face was withered, and between his backpalms, he was actually exactly the same Lei Fa.

The lightning flashed, the loud rumble, and countless thunderbolts were entangled and collided together, illuminating the cave sky with a burst of snow and power.

The next moment, the thunder light melted, the two sides floated and retreated, the young Taoist glared at the old Taoist viciously, the old Taoist looked helpless, turned around, his face changed, and he bowed down directly: "Your Highness!"

"Your Highness?"

The young Taoist was surprised when he heard this, his eyes turned around, he was shocked, and hurriedly bowed: "Minister Zhang Lu, meet His Royal Highness the Prince!"

"The future princes of Hanzhong, Zhang Lu?"

Gu Cheng looked at it for a moment, and then looked at Lao Dao, with warmth in his eyes: "Master!"

The old Taoist was naturally Shi Ziyi, and he was shocked when he heard this: "I can't afford to be called so by His Royal Highness!"

Gu Chengzheng said: "You are also a father and a teacher to me, why can't you afford it?"

Shi Ziyi not only raised him since he was a child, but also carried him into his house and guarded him all night when he poisoned Wang Meiren to death.

For other children, they may be ignorant, but Gu Cheng knows that this is the maintenance of the old way.

After Gu Cheng became the crown prince, he gave many rewards, but they were all rejected by Shi Ziyi.

He originally didn't want to disturb the quiet and inactive life of the Taoist, but now that he is here, he will not be hypocritical.

Similarly, Shi Miaozi raised Gu Cheng for nine years, and in this era, he was an absolute supporter of the Great Prince, and it was impossible to change his camp.

"Your Royal Highness's personal dignity, the old Tao can't afford it, I have this heart, I am content!"

Shi Ziyi was greatly relieved, and kowtowed again and again, Zhang Lu was in a hurry when he saw it, so he simply sued first: "Your Highness, my grandfather is a real person, and he has to be awarded the Yang Ping Zhidu Gong Seal by Taishang Laojun, and then due to changes in the teaching, Shi Ziyi left with the seal, and he has not returned it yet, please ask His Highness to be the master of the ministers!"

This so-called Yangping Zhidu Gong Seal is the Heavenly Master Seal.

Just as the imperial seal is a symbol of the emperor, it is also a symbol of the status of the celestial master.

Zhang Lu is the grandson of Zhang Ling, he did not hold this seal, but fell into the hands of Shi Ziyi, why is this so?

"Your Highness, the old man obeys the master's orders, and he doesn't dare to speak falsely!"

Shi Ziyi raised his head, looked at Zhang Lu, and sighed: "Master said clearly before ascending, you should have a catastrophe in the future, and you need to live in this India, so let me go for the time being, you should take heaven and earth as your heart, living souls as your thoughts, and sincerity, loyalty, and filial piety as the foundation......"

"Ridiculous!"

Zhang Lu flicked his sleeves and interrupted directly, and said a little angrily: "I am the third generation of Heavenly Master, but I don't have the Heavenly Master Seal in charge, so that Zhang Xiu is usurping power, where is this to help me through the calamity, it is obviously to give me a calamity!"

"Zhang Xiu's Five Bucket Rice Sect, heh, I see!"

Gu Cheng understood.

Regarding the Five Buckets of Rice Sect, there are two concepts in later generations, the first is another name for the Heavenly Master Dao, because those who enter the Tao must produce five buckets of rice, so it is named; the second is a cult with the same name as the Taiping Dao, there is Zhang Jiao in the East, and Zhang Xiu in the Han Dynasty, all of whom are demon thieves.

Now it seems that the Wudoumi Sect in this world is the result of the struggle for power and profit.

Zhang Xiu was originally a person in the Heavenly Master's Dao, usurped power, and renamed the sect as the Wudoumi Sect, which greatly weakened the orthodoxy of the Heavenly Master.

It's just that he attributed the reason why he couldn't control the situation to the absence of the Heavenly Master Seal, which was very stupid.

The emperor's power is on the sidelines, will it be because the jade seal is not in his hands?

However, at this time, Zhang Lu made a preemptive strike, and it was still a little difficult to do.

Bumping into this kind of dispute, no matter how decided, it is inevitable that both ends will not be pleased.

So, Gu Cheng stretched out his hand: "Wenhe, what do you think?"

"Huh?"

Zhang Lu looked up at Jia Xu, and his eyebrows showed a look of contempt.

However, Jia Xu walked out, unhurried, and asked him in the first sentence: "The three or five slashing evil male and female swords, isn't it not with you?"

"It's natural. ”

Zhang Lu paused, reluctantly opened his mouth, and two sword lights came out, shooting bullfighting, the law is like male and female, pointing to the sky and the demon star is obscure, summoning thunder and purple lightning soaring, it is the killing weapon given by Taishang Laojun, three or five slashing evil male and female swords.

Jia Xu smiled: "Since you have this sword, why don't you kill the evil spirit?"

Zhang Lu's face turned red, and he became a little annoyed and angry.

He fights alone, and naturally he is not afraid of Zhang Xiu, but Zhang Xiu's subordinates are many and powerful, and the servants are like clouds, so he has a few brothers and sisters left, how can he be an opponent?

"It's a shame to stay!"

Just when Zhang Lu had the urge to walk away, but he was afraid of Zhang Jiao's fate and didn't dare to do it, Jia Xu said again: "Now that the demon thieves are in trouble, the Yellow Turban Army occupies Jingzhou, and it is a disaster, can Zhang Tianshi have the heart to serve the country?"

Zhang Lu is inexplicable, he is anxious now, how can he still care about the Yellow Turban Army, but the prince is in person, so he naturally wants to hypocritically show his loyalty: "I am willing to serve the Han and never give up!"

Jia Xu asked again: "What about Zhang Xiu? Is he willing to receive the emperor's order, get orthodoxy, go out of Hanzhong, attack Jingzhou, and expand the Wudou Rice Sect to the Central Plains?"

"Huh?"

Zhang Lu trembled, and after thinking for a while, his attitude changed greatly, and he bowed respectfully:

"Please teach me Your Highness and Sir!"
