Chapter Thirty-Seven: Master Has a Great Background
"Wang Chen, is it Master's name? Master never told me about it. Liu Shang was surprised.
I only know Master's surname is Wang, but I have never heard him mention his name, Master thinks that the name is just a code name, it doesn't mean anything!
The old Taoist priest's next words shocked Liu Shang's jaw.
"Yes, your master's name is Wang Chen, and he is also my senior brother, when a catastrophe befell my Longhu Mountain, it almost caused my Daomen to split and overturn, your master went down the mountain at that time, and resolutely went away without looking back, alas." The old Taoist priest fell into a long memory......
More than 70 years ago, the entire Chinese world was immersed in a day of great joy, the Japanese surrendered, and the war finally ended.
And Wang Chen, who was only in his twenties at that time, was arrogant, and went down the mountain to fight against the Japanese for several years, and he only returned to the mountain after the Japanese surrendered.
A few years later, Wang Chen, who was already famous in the Daomen, was young, and he cultivated the secret method of the Daomen, the method of thinking and changing the gods, in fact, he was the second person who successfully cultivated the method of thinking and changing the gods, Liu Shang was only a junior, Wang Chen was in the limelight in the Daomen, and he was more famous than Zhang Xuanzhen, the heir of Longhu Mountain at that time.
Ten years later, Wang Chen's Taoism is complete, and he is already a great practitioner at the intersection of yin and yang, such a cultivation talent is really beyond people's reach, even Zhang Xuanzhen at that time, he has just entered the realm of first acquaintance, Wang Chen, as a cultivation wizard in the Zhengyi Ancestral Garden, is naturally empty-eyed.
Gradually, he developed the heart to compete with the world's people, unwilling to practice in the mountains, he felt that in order to prove the avenue, he needed to walk the world and find his own fate.
Daomen lost two artifacts in the catastrophe in Huaxia, and he wanted to go down the mountain to find them in person, so as not to lose them in the hands of foreigners.
One is the cave artifact of Qingcheng Mountain Dojo, the third mirror, according to legend, it is the magic weapon of the Taoist patriarch Guangchengzi, and the other is the cave artifact of the Laojun Palace, the pure world copper furnace, which is said to have been refined by the Taoist ancestor himself.
In the war between China and the Wa Kingdom, he wanted to retrieve these two Daomen artifacts, and with a goal in mind, Wang Chen said goodbye to his brothers and went down the mountain.
Zhang Xuanzhen is the old Taoist in front of him, the Heavenly Master of Longhu Mountain, he has always revered Wang Chen in his heart, and he wants to catch up with that person's pace, but he doesn't want to, knowing the news of that senior brother again, he has been separated forever, and there is no intersection again.
Back then, Wang Chen still had news from the outside world, he went to the Wa Kingdom, fought with the Wa Kingdom cultivation world, and with his own strength, he broke through the entire Wa Kingdom cultivation world, which made people shocked and angry, and I didn't know what this Huaxia Daomen master who suddenly appeared was going to do.
Wang Chen searched from place to place, even if it was the palace, he forcibly broke in, although he found many Huaxia artifacts, but there were no missing two artifacts.
Later, I don't know what kind of strong man I encountered in the Japanese country, and there is no news of him in the world.
I don't know if he recovered those two artifacts.
Wang Chen, a name that even the Daomen can't forget, but unfortunately he is like a flash in the pan, a short bloom of dazzling life, known as a character like Quanzhen Zhang Sloppy, may become the existence of a land immortal, and disappeared in the world of the Daomen.
Who would have thought that he would come to this southwest mountain city, hide in the dilapidated Taoist temple in the 100,000 mountains, and turn into an ordinary old Taoist priest, hiding from the world until he died.
Zhang Xuanzhen silently narrated the life of his senior brother, full of legends, and infinite longing for his senior brother.
"This is your master's life, although I don't know what kind of ordeal he has gone through, so he refuses to go back to the mountain, and stays here quietly alone, but I think the senior brother is very bitter in his heart." Zhang Xuanzhen sighed and muttered to himself.
Liu Shang was already dumbfounded, Master, this is the Master he is familiar with?
He remembered that every bit of his past with his master could not bring two completely different people together, if it was true, then his master was really extraordinary, and there was such a brilliant and brilliant legendary experience.
Wait..., Zhang Xuanzhen, ah, no, it's Uncle Shi, I just said the two artifacts of the Daomen, the Third World Mirror, and what else, the Pure World Copper Furnace, these two things, the Third World Mirror, I don't know where it is, but the Pure World Copper Furnace, is it the copper incense burner in the mountain?
Grunt, Liu Sheng secretly swallowed his saliva, his heart was beating faster, and his breathing was a little unsmooth, if it was really it, it would make a lot of money.
But soon, he was a little unsure, if the master had already had a divine object in his hand, how could he not have made great progress in cultivation, and still wait for death in the hidden world? It doesn't make sense.
"Senior... Teacher, uncle. Liu Shang also opened his mouth to call his seniors, but was glared at by Zhang Xuanzhen, and immediately changed his words and called him uncle.
There is a powerful elder for no reason, is it still a loss, this guy is still very unconvinced.
"My master has never said this to me, ex~ uncle, just let me master be your senior brother, so uncle came to me, yes?" Liu Shang didn't know what this old man meant.
Zhang Xuanzhen glanced at Liu Sheng carefully, and sighed again: "Senior brother chose you, your vision and talent are really ten times better than me, and even the disciples have such a way, I am not as good as you." Zhang Xuanzhen is very envious of his senior brother's vision and talent.
Liu Shang blushed embarrassedly, for the sake of you being my uncle, okay, I forgive you for the previous misunderstanding, so I will treat you as my own.
"Uncle Shi, the disciple's cultivation is okay, it can be regarded as not dishonoring the prestige of the master, hehe." He began to be complacent without being subtle.
Zhang Xuanzhen didn't refute it in his heart, but felt that Liu Shang's true temperament was exactly the same as which of his senior brothers, which made him close, but this kind of temperament was not like his own senior brother.
"With your current cultivation, you are still far from dishonoring your master's prestige, and when you truly become a great master at the intersection of yin and yang, and enter the hall, you can be regarded as inheriting your master's mantle." Zhang Xuanzhen deliberately hit him.
Although his heart is satisfied to death, his mouth is merciless.
Liu Shang didn't care; "What Uncle Shi said is that the disciple will work hard to make Master's prestige shine again, just wait and see."
Zhang Xuanzhen smiled, did not comment, picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, only to notice that Xiao Zi and Xiao Qing were looking at him on the side, a little afraid, and a little curious to look at the strange old man in front of him, after all, they have only become demons for a short time, their Taoism is undecided, and there are some girls who are innocent.
"I just saw that the demonic energy was vacant here, so I didn't notice it, but it was the fault of the poor road." Zhang Xuanzhen can say this, and he is already very revealing, this old Taoist priest is really worthy of being the last generation of heavenly masters, and his bearing is extraordinary, if he is replaced by other Taoist masters, I am afraid that he will not be so polite.
Xiao Zi and Xiao Qing hurriedly waved their hands and dared to accept the old Taoist priest's salute, and they got out of the way at a loss and ran outside.
Liu Shang was even more curious when he saw that he didn't mind the little demons in the view.
Zhang Xuanzhen stroked his silver-white beard and explained with a smile; "My Dao Sect has many means to transform beasts and monsters, don't be surprised, cultivators, don't have to stick to the eyes of others, as long as you keep your heart and don't hinder the operation of the world, there are naturally no taboos."
Liu Shang was taught, he was originally worried that Uncle Shi would taboo these little demons to haunt the view, but now it seems that worrying is superfluous.
"Where is your master's burial?" Zhang Xuanzhen asked.
Liu Shang was silent for a moment, thinking about whether to tell him that he was buried behind the Taoist temple in the mountain, and only the ashes were left.
"Uncle Shi, Master has been cremated." Liu Sheng replied worriedly, he didn't know if this uncle would blame him.
Zhang Xuanzhen sighed, and said in a low voice: "Senior brother left so cleanly, dust returned to dust, came and went innocently, junior brother is late." ”
Daomen advocates that dust returns to dust, burial and resting, is the right way to heaven, the most taboo cremation, that means no trace left, want to reincarnate has no chance, so the people of the Taoist gate fire and weapons, called the fire and fire calamity, soldiers are weapons, fierce, fire is angry, together is fierce, how can people die with fierceness, not to mention a Taoist.
At that time, he didn't have the slightest cultivation, and the Chinese official did not allow burial and advocated environmental protection, but is this really environmentally friendly, it is really hard to say who is right and who is wrong, and he can only watch the master being pushed into the cremation furnace, and there is no way.
"Uncle Shi's condolences, the disciple also knows that this matter is wrong, but the disciple has no way to refuse, you also know that this secular regime is not the past." Liu Shang comforted Uncle Shi and explained.
When Zhang Xuanzhen heard this, he was even more angry, and somehow, he knocked a violent slap on Liu Shang's head.
Boom.
"Bastard, with your master's cultivation, even if you are an immortal, you will not be physically damaged, not to mention that my Dao Sect is high, how can I allow the world to interfere in the major affairs behind me, it is simply unreasonable." Zhang Xuanzhen and Wang Chen are worthy of being brothers, and the methods of beating Liu Shang are exactly the same.
Liu Shang didn't have time to avoid it at all, he covered his head in pain, and looked at this uncle who had never met sadly on the side, grinning his teeth.
It's a familiar feeling, a familiar taste, it seems that this old guy is really the master's junior brother, even the technique and strength of beating me are exactly the same, but it's annoying, damn it, I can't beat him, even if you are my uncle, you can't bully me like this.
This thing still has the face to talk about others, and his method of beating people is also the same as where Wang Chen learned it, just like carving out a mold.
It's no wonder that Zhang Xuanzhen is so angry, the Daomen's own affairs, they are really in charge of their own affairs, in addition to the obligation to cooperate, they are all buried in their own tombs, or overrun to worship, or buried in the back mountain, I have never heard of being pulled to be cremated directly, this is really a big joke in the world, no wonder the old guy is angry.
Zhang Xuanzhen asked some more specifically, the experience of Senior Brother Wang Chen over the years, and he also understood that there was a big problem with Senior Brother's cultivation, his brows gradually wrinkled, and his expression was solemn.
"You said that your master has been in poor health all these years, and his Taoism is average?"
