Chapter 40: The Taoist Priest's Determination
The various sects of the Great Martial Kingdom came to Kowloon to discuss the explanations with a vast array of people and horses, mixed with anger and irrepressible excitement.
The Nine Dragons View for a while, the achievement of the most lively history since the establishment of the Temple, the number of people reached hundreds of thousands of people, crowded one after another, occupied the Nine Dragons View is located in the inorganic mountain everywhere, flowers and plants trampled, the landscape was damaged, noisy and shouting, you pushed me, rubbed shoulders one after another, but the Nine Dragons View is a person on the back of the horse.
The leaders of various sects have stepped into the Kowloon Temple, and named the master to come out and explain clearly.
However, the Guan Zhu is no longer the originator of the mountain, when the originator of the mountain refined the Fire Dragon Ball, he had already escaped from the world, and was only dedicated to cultivation.
The current viewer had no choice but to run out in a hurry, accompanied by a smiling face, let the leaders of each faction into the reception hall, and immediately went to find the originator of the mountain.
As a result, none of the people sent out were able to find the whereabouts of this patriarch, and they searched all over his residence, retreat, and frequented places, but could not find a trace of him.
Of course, the leaders of the various sects refused to give up easily, and threatened to hand over the Fire Dragon Ball if they couldn't find him, otherwise they would set fire to the Inorganic Mountain.
It was then that the viewer realized the real purpose of their visit. But they are menacing, even though the Nine Dragons View has developed for a while, but to deal with hundreds of thousands of people from various sects, even if there are many errands of various sects, and ordinary people who join the sect to bully others, there are only a thousand, but since the establishment of the Nine Dragons Concept, there are not so many cultivators and Taoists in total, and it is far from this strength to fight against them.
In the following month, the Guanzhu sent people to find the whereabouts of this ancestor every day, but there was no news, and what was even more strange was that the fire dragon ball that was originally enshrined in the temple also disappeared with him.
In order to appease everyone's anger, Kowloon Guan took out the best materials to entertain people from all walks of life, and it was thankless, and there were cold butts everywhere.
During this period, of course, people from all walks of life were not idle, wandering around the inorganic mountain of Jiulongguan, rushing into the alchemy institute under the guise of looking for people, and robbed the high-grade pills and some important alchemy recipes, and a lot of medicinal materials were also robbed.
They also ran to the armory, took back all the treasures that were originally traded, and counted them afterwards, not only spit out all the treasures obtained by the exchange of the alchemy secret of the Nine Dragons Temple, but also some of the treasures in the original temple.
They also planned to forcibly enter the Treasure Pavilion of the Nine Dragons Temple, which contained a large number of eye-watering true alchemy secrets, as well as important treasures of the town sect, if it weren't for the fact that the Lord of the Nine Dragons had not concentrated on all the cultivators and Taoist priests of the whole temple to strengthen the guards and block the large forces of all walks of life who had taken them by force outside, I am afraid that the Nine Dragons Temple would be uprooted in this catastrophe.
Fortunately, apart from skirmishes, there were no major casualties in the clashes between the various sects and Kowloon Temple.
This is also the item that was robbed of the Nine Dragons Temple, not the foundation of the Taoist priests, just some additional treasures and alchemy recipes that can be copied and restored, so the Nine Dragons Temple endured it.
But on the whole, the Kowloon View is still more than worth the loss, and it has lost its wife and soldiers.
After making a fuss for so long, they have trampled all over the inorganic mountains and overturned the Nine Dragons Temple, and the various sects still refuse to give up, just because there is no news about the Fire Dragon Ball they want the most, and the genius ancestor is missing for some reason.
But the art of war is cloudy, and the soldiers have been fruitless for a long time, and if it continues like this, I am afraid that there will be problems in the mess of the families of various sects.
Therefore, after they retrieved the materials they had exchanged before, they really had no choice, and they were afraid that if they continued to force it, they would eventually lose both.
Each sect has its own enemies, and once they really fight for their lives with the Nine Dragons, I am afraid that it will not only be a war between the two sides, but will set off a melee involving the various sects, which they do not want to see.
Another crucial reason is that behind the Nine Dragons View is not simply these Taoist priests, but also the entire Dawu Kingdom Taoism behind them.
Although there are many sects in the Great Martial Kingdom, except for Solomon's shadow that is like the largest cloud in the Great Martial Kingdom, which is indistinguishable, the core is the three major cultivation methods of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism, and most of the cultivators' exercises come from these three types.
Behind the various sects standing, there is a cloud of mist that cannot be seen clearly, shrouded in layers of backers, or Confucianism, or Buddhism, or Taoism, mainly the Junzhou Chengsheng Academy of Confucianism, the North and South Sect Temples of Buddhism, and the Taiqing Gate of Taoism.
Therefore, it seems to be a dispute between various sects, but it is really going to make a big trouble, and after the various sects make a move, it will be followed by a rebellion of the three religions that will sweep the whole country, which is the last thing the imperial court wants to see, and it will never be allowed to happen.
Among them, although Taoism only occupies a huge influence in Junzhou on the surface, it is a sect born and raised in the land of Dawu, which is deeper and more popular than Buddhism.
The relatively low-key style of Taoism and the attitude of single-mindedly seeking Taoism have allowed them to truly achieve the rule of inaction and fight without fighting.
However, in the eyes of those who are good at observing and thinking in the Great Wu Kingdom, Taoism has become a giant of the sect, in addition to the above, there is another reason that cannot be explained:
It is rumored that Taiqingmen is very close to the contemporary Emperor Wu of Dawu Guojun, and a Taoist aunt with a very high status in Taiqingmen has a very personal relationship with Emperor Dawu.
Legend has it that Dao Gu is beautiful and unparalleled, her demeanor is dusty, and every time she meets people, she is almost thought to be a fairy.
Emperor Dawu lingered with affection, and even brewed love fruits, so Taoism can be so indisputable.
It's just that these things are too secret and taboo, and no one dares to question them publicly, but behind the scenes, there are not a few people who speculate and secretly add fuel to the fire.
Even so, it still could not shake the foundation of Taoism in the Great Wu Kingdom.
Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism are like the three giant trees of the Great Wu Kingdom.
Confucianism, with the deepest background of the Great Wu Kingdom, is the most powerful among the civil and military officials, and the most important thing is that the Great Wu Emperor is also a Confucian supporter, and this giant tree is unintentionally the largest, with the broadest branches and leaves.
Taoism is a force born in the local area, because of its unique pursuit of cultivating immortals and attaining Taoism, and the unique method of alchemy and health preservation, it has satisfied the cultivation fantasies of thousands of people.
Buddhism, although it is a foreign sect, at the beginning of the mission, it was once identified as "Hu Sect" and was strongly rejected, but the threshold for Buddhism to enter the religion is extremely low, and the tolerance is very strong, claiming that as long as you have good thoughts, care for all sentient beings, and have Buddha in your heart, you can be called a Buddhist disciple when you become a monk and enter the world.
This undoubtedly included most of the good people under his disciples, and at the same time, the reincarnation of cause and effect preached by Buddhism greatly attracted those who had committed mistakes in the mundane.
And Buddhism can continue to absorb the core morality of Confucianism and Taoism, and turn it into its own use, and over time, the tree of Buddhism has become the most prominent and tallest of the three giant trees.
Solomon, on the other hand, was the greatest black fog that shrouded the three trees, ethereal and ubiquitous.
In any case, a month later, each sect could only lead its own men and horses and leave in a huff.
In this disaster, the Nine Dragons Temple was like a dragon that had been pulled out of its scale armor, and its flesh and blood were blurred, leaving only scars full of holes.
Fortunately, the Jiulongguan muscles and bones still exist, and through years of low-key development, the Jiulongguan has slowly grown scales.
Although it can't be compared with the three schools of Yunzhou with deep roots, with its excellent alchemy method and famous formation, it continues to provide high-quality auxiliary cultivation for cultivators in Yunzhou.
Therefore, it has also been greatly developed, and the number of alchemists and formation mages cultivated is not a few, especially the joint attack formation, more than a dozen Taoist priests of the Shangqing realm are enough to resist a cultivator with the strength of the Taiqing realm, and there are no less than hundreds of Taoist priests in the Shangqing realm of the Nine Dragons.
All in all, the power of Kowloon View today should not be underestimated.
Until now, if there are still various sects in Yunzhou to shake their prestige, they must be carefully weighed, which is second only to the strength of the Nine Dragons of the three major families in Yunzhou.
This incident was followed by a small commotion.
The core ancient sect of the Dawu Kingdom, the Taiqing Gate, has a heritage of thousands of years, and there are not a few alchemy masters at the peak of the Dawu Kingdom, and they are also gathered together to study the alchemy recipe of the originator of the Jiulong Temple, and finally, it was finally confirmed that the birth of this Danfang was purely accidental, and it was almost impossible to imitate alchemy in the same way.
What's more, they also discovered that the Dao Pill that was lucky and accidentally formed from the sky this time, although it was not the top pill of the Great Martial Kingdom, it had an appalling effect that could automatically improve and increase its power!
Perfecting the cultivation defects and breaking through the cultivation bottleneck was the original purpose of refining the Fire Dragon Ball, but I didn't expect that this pill could not only improve a person's cultivation defects, but also improve and upgrade itself!
Although it takes an extremely high price and a long time for the Fire Dragon Ball to achieve this kind of perfection and promotion, and it is not yet known whether it is true or not, this just explains why the originator of the mountain does not take the Fire Dragon Ball, because if this treasure can be automatically upgraded, then one day, it will be able to become the pinnacle of the cultivation world and become the "Dan Emperor" of the Great Martial Kingdom!
Everyone once again cast their fiery eyes on the inorganic mountain of the Nine Dragons Temple.
But this time, the whole faction of the Kowloon View treated the opportunists who had made a comeback with an extremely innocent and helpless attitude.
Yes, this matter was researched by Taiqingmen, and the Nine Dragons View didn't know about it at all, and it was impossible to know it, because the Fire Dragon Ball was long gone!
Later, everyone also figured out that since they knew the biggest secret of the Fire Dragon Ball, who would stay in the Nine Dragons Temple and wait for others to grab it!
So in the end, everyone still returned in vain, but it greatly increased the reputation of the Nine Dragons Temple, and invested a large number of new disciples in the Nine Dragons Temple, but the Nine Dragons Temple developed in an orderly manner.
Outside Qingping Temple, the Dharma Desk.
The tall Taoist priest's chest rose and fell violently, and he thought back to the glorious and bumpy history of the Nine Dragons Temple, which proved how important the Fire Dragon Ball was to them!
He glanced around, the county soldiers had withdrawn, and in addition to a dozen living Taoists and one dead Taoist priest on the stage, there were only a few old monks left such as Nasu, who was still breathing, and Qingfa monks who didn't know life and death.
Below the stage were Elder Na He, whose breath was wilting after vomiting blood, and the loyal disciples who protected him, as well as the disciples under Na Su's subordinates who only dared to stare at the stage, and the others fled.
The edge of the square on the main street of Qingping Town is still surrounded by the lively people.
In the chaotic scene, the tall Taoist priest and the juggler among the onlookers exclaimed the fire dragon ball, and then they were drowned out by the wailing of the Taoist priest who attacked the fire monkey just now, and the exclamation of the onlookers, and no one paid attention to what the two of them were screaming.
But the tall Taoist priest was now like a heavy blow, his heart was surging like a stormy wave, his breathing was suddenly short, and the pores on his body were open, as if he wanted to help his nose and mouth that couldn't breathe.
But no one else knows that in addition to the importance of the Fire Dragon Ball to the Nine Dragons view, in his heart, there is another reason, another layer of importance.
He is one of the disciples who developed in the later period of the Nine Dragons Temple, and he has been cultivating immortals and practicing the Tao under the Nine Dragons Temple since he was a child.
His master is an idiot who is obsessed with alchemy, drunk all day long, crazy, disheveled, disheveled, and bearded, and is looked down upon by all the Taoist priests in the Nine Dragons Temple.
It's just that when the mad Taoist priest was young, because of his superb alchemy skills, he helped the Treasure Pavilion of the Nine Dragons View to improve several extremely important alchemy secret recipes, and with his old qualifications, he was not swept away by the Nine Dragons Temple.
Only he knew why Shizun had become a crazy old Taoist, because for countless nights, in the next room where Shizun was sleeping, he had heard him talk in his dreams countless times, and each time there were only three words in his dreams: "Fire Dragon Ball." ”
He was a true alchemist, and he only wanted to restore the alchemy process of the Fire Dragon Ball, even though this experiment had long been sealed and made an impossible event.
But his master was obsessed with this all his life, and when he was young, he didn't eat, drink, sleep, or sleep, and retreated for half a year, so he had to refine the same elixir as the Fire Dragon Ball.
For cultivators, no matter how advanced their cultivation is, before they reach the consummation of the third great realm of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism, they are equivalent to mortals.
When the body is not running the spiritual power of heaven and earth, it still needs to eat and drink every day, and the spiritual power of heaven and earth is only used to cultivate muscles and bones and improve the realm of cultivation, so as to improve combat effectiveness, but it cannot replace eating and drinking.
All things are conceived and evolved by the aura of heaven and earth, and diet is also the product of the aura of heaven and earth, so before ascending, nourishing the aura of heaven and earth through diet is also one of the indispensable and important means of cultivation.
Half a year later, the young alchemist relied on eating various pills every day to maintain his body, but his spirit was severely damaged.
Based on his gifted alchemy ability, he didn't believe that he couldn't refine an elixir like the Fire Dragon Ball. Therefore, after leaving the customs, he was confused and crazy all day long, often staring at others, no matter who it was, and spewing out a sentence: "Fire Dragon Ball! Fire Dragon Ball!!"
Later, when he devoted himself to the Nine Dragons Temple, he knew the obsession of this mad master.
He also heard many predecessors of the Nine Dragons View say that the glory and humiliation of the Nine Dragons View in the past, and he also knew that the Fire Dragon Ball had long since ended, but he was still very moved and admired, and took the initiative to devote himself to his disciples, which was also a strange talk for a while.
But his cultivation, the master couldn't help him, he was practicing in various monasteries in the Nine Dragons Temple, but he had been taking care of this mad Taoist in the name of an apprentice.
After being repeated day and night and countless times incoherently, today he recognized the Fire Dragon Ball in the Fire Monkey's hand at a glance.
Now the Nine Dragon Pearls that Master Zun had in his heart were resurrected in front of his eyes, and he was shocked beyond measure, and after he screamed uncontrollably, he barely stopped at the thought, and made a decision that melted into flesh and blood in his heart:
Unless he dies, he must bring the Fire Dragon Ball to his master!
