Chapter 16: The Lost One
The glow soared into the sky, and the sword aura shook Kyushu like thunder.
As the Qingping Sword passed through the Jinao Island Mountain Protection Array, the hermitage powers of the Four Prefectures all sensed this sword intent that had amazed them to the extreme.
Dongsheng Shenzhou, the border of the Tang Dynasty.
There is a diversion of the river into the sea, the name is called Zhenjiang, and the sediment in the Zhenjiang River is deposited as an island, recently there is a monk from Chang'an to the south, settled here, determined to build a temple.
It was not until everyone inquired that they learned that this monk was the abbot of the original Ci'en Temple, Fa Ming Zen Master.
Fa Ming, who was sitting on the top of the Golden Mountain, naturally also saw the vision on the sea, Fa Ming's eyes moved slightly, and two dark cyan dark rays of light came out from the spatial crack in front of him and entered his eyes.
In a moment, two green flames ignited in his dark jade-like eyes, and with the help of the power of the evil corpse, he caught a glimpse of the figure in the sword qi.
"It's him!" muttered Randen, who kept thinking back to that day.
The innate spirit treasure of the red jade body, he has confirmed this, and Zhou Bai's realm, he has also confirmed it, how can two Taiyi true immortals plus an innate sword be able to withstand Dinghaizhu?
You must know that the twelve golden immortals were beaten by this magic weapon at the beginning, and even he had a measuring ruler and a coffin lamp, all of which were under the power of the spirit beads, holding his head and running away.
There are only three situations that can withstand the innate things, one of which is that the other party's cultivation has reached the realm of a saint, but under the heavenly path, there is nothing to hurt.
The second is that the other party has restraint in his hands, such as Xiao Sheng and Cao Bao's treasure money....... , After receiving Zhao Gongming's Dinghaizhu, he was beaten to death by the golden whip, and his soul entered the list of gods, becoming Zhaobao Tianzun and Nazhen Tianzun.
And the treasure money was finally recovered by Yuan Shi Tianzun, and after being consecrated as a god, he was brought back to the Jade Qingwei Heaven of the Thirty-Three Heavens.
Fa Ming's mind moved slightly, dispelling this speculation, the battle of the gods, the Tongtian Sect Master broke away from the Three Qings, and even formed a boundless cause and effect with Yuan Shi Tianzun, this Zhou Bai is by no means a person who explains the teaching.
The last situation is what he hoped for, and it was also hidden by him in front of the two saints of the West.
Only the transcendent spirit treasure can ignore the power of the innate spirit treasure and quietly take away the foundation of his enlightenment, and then avoid the deduction of the two saints and annihilate the twenty-four layers of small worlds.
As for whether these two Western saints knew about it, he didn't know.
The sword light was like a rainbow, and it had disappeared into the sky in the blink of an eye, leaving only a cyan sword mark that could not be recovered among the clouds for a long time.
In the chaos, the Yuan Shi Tianzun walked in the sky, not caring at all about the undercurrents and rolling thunder hidden in the gray chaos, this kind of immortal gods' awe-inspiring abnormal power was just a breeze and dust in the eyes of the saints, stepping by, without a trace.
'Brother Dao. After coming to the Tushi Palace, Yuan Shi Tianzun sat unceremoniously on the ground, and a futon appeared out of thin air under him. "What does he want to do!" The teacher strictly ordered the saint not to make a move in the flood wilderness, let alone show up. That person actually used the magic weapon of the Dao to bring the human monk to the Zixiao Palace!"
"Great disrespect! Great disrespect!!" Yuan Shi Tianzun picked up the teacup in front of him, and put it down fiercely, and the splashed tea condensed a few drops of rolling water on the white jade-like ground.
With a wave of his long sleeves, Yuan Shi Tianzun pointed to the chaos outside the door, and said angrily: "Zixiao Palace is the teacher's dojo, and it is also the place where the heavenly dao is located, he does such a thing, where does the teacher ?!!?"
The Taiqing Taoist sighed lightly, stroked his palm, and the tea set in front of him and the water droplets on the ground all disappeared.
Looking up at the annoyed Yuan Shi Tianzun, the Taiqing Daoist couldn't help but sigh again, "Don't you even want to call him a word of Daoist friends now......?"
"Brother?!" Hearing the words of the Taiqing Daoist, the anger on Yuan Shi Tianzun's face was even stronger, and he snorted coldly: "When did he treat you and me as brothers? Have you forgotten what he said in front of the teacher? This is the master of the Heavenly Sect, a saint who intercepts the vitality of the Heavenly Dao and dares to strangle the teacher's throat. ”
Taiqing Daoist shook his head and said, "In that case, what do you have to be angry about? If he violates the Heavenly Dao taboo, Heavenly Dao will punish him." If he provokes the teacher, the teacher will also punish him. Seeing Yuan Shi Tianzun's gradually turning blue complexion, Taiqing Daoist said softly: "I recently calculated the heavenly machine, and learned that 'Buddhism is a catastrophe for Taoism', and now Buddhism has two quasi-saints, and the teacher does not allow the saints to make a move, who can resist these two quasi-saints?"
Yuan Shi Tianzun was silent, he naturally knew this truth, and a flash of inspiration flashed in his heart, Yuan Shi Tianzun suddenly raised his head and said: "It was Brother Dao who led Zhou Bai to ?!!."
Taiqing shook his head and said: "Everything is Zhou Bai's intention, even if I don't give him the sect interception token, he will go to find Jinao Island, I just advanced this time by a few decades." ”
Taiqing got up and walked to the front of the hall, and outside the stone steps was boundless chaos, "The general trend of heaven cannot be changed, I can only rely on Zhou Bai's variable to lay out in advance, modify the small trend little by little, and produce qualitative changes with quantitative changes, so as to overthrow the general trend." ”
The wind and thunder are not close to the main hall, but the clothes of the Taiqing Daoist are not automatic without wind, and the Taiqing Daoist said in a deep voice: "This matter is also acquiesced by the teacher." ”
"What!" Yuan Shi Tianzun looked at the Taiqing Daoist in disbelief, his clothes moved with the wind, and although the figure in front of him seemed to be far, far away.
It wasn't until now that he realized that he had never understood Taiqing's mind.
Too ruthless, too inactive.
"Is the teacher going to let him come back?" said Yuan Shi Tianzun with a complicated expression.
Taiqing Daoist shook his head, he was not Hongjun, let alone Heavenly Dao.
"I don't know. Taiqing paused, his voice becoming more and more ethereal, "However, the sect is about to be born." ”
'Sect Interception .....' Yuan Shi Tianzun silently looked into the distance, as if he had returned to the extremely tragic Ten Thousand Immortal Array. As a saint, being injured by ants was the only time, and hopefully the last.
.....
When Zhou Bai came to a barren and dilapidated platform, the Qingping Sword beside him turned into light powder and disappeared in front of him.
A middle-aged man in an ink robe appeared out of thin air, revealing an awe-inspiring heroic aura on his deeply contoured face, and a pair of deep eyes that seemed calm, but in fact they were as sharp as a stump.
He didn't speak, but he had a kind of pride that looked down on the world.
Zhou Bai took half a step back, leaned over and said, "I've seen the Tongtian Sage." ”
The Tongtian Sect Master glanced at Zhou Bai carefully and smiled, "Since Wudang recognized Hongyu as a junior sister, then I will accept her as a disciple, as a personal disciple, you are her husband, so call me a teacher as well." ”
Zhou Bai was stunned for a moment and said with a smile: "Yes, teacher." ”
Tongtian nodded, waved his long sleeves, turned around and said, "Come, sit." ”
Zhou Bai looked forward and saw two futons appearing out of thin air on the empty platform, located in front of the gate.
And the door of the Zixiao Palace was closed, as if it hadn't been opened for a long time.
The two sat opposite each other, and the Tongtian Sect Master didn't wait for Zhou Bai to speak, he closed his eyes slightly and began to say something that Zhou Bai couldn't understand.
Lotus flowers bloomed in the void, and the surrounding chaotic qi broke through the screen wall and poured into the platform, wisps of threads around the two of them.
Seeing this scene, Zhou Bai understood that the Tongtian Sect Master was going to preach to himself!
Breathing a sigh of relief, Zhou Bai hurriedly closed his eyes, calmly wanting to comprehend the sermon preached by Tongtian.
is different from the 'Tao Te Ching', 'Yin Fu Sutra', 'Heart Seal Sutra' that I have read in my previous life, nor are they those mystical phrases that are yes or no, the Internet era has given Zhou Bai too much complicated information, which has broadened his heart and restrained his thinking.
After all, there is no enlightenment in the writing, and even these mental methods have been modified and filled in by successive dynasties, and the true original intention has long been lost.
The swelling of his brain made his brows furrow, and he knew the turbulent waves in the sea, constantly beating his solidified thinking.
The clenched fists had already been bleeding, and the clenched teeth made his face a little hideous.
The Tongtian Sect Master was unmoved, and still used the language of the beginning of eternity, telling the 'Tao' he knew.
I don't know how long time has passed, Zhou Bai's sea of knowledge has regained its calm, and gradually, Zhou Bai seems to understand what the Tongtian Sect Master said, this language has transcended words and sounds, and simply transmits a large amount of information with divine souls and divine thoughts.
The early stage of Taiyi True Immortal, the middle stage of Taiyi True Immortal, the late stage of Taiyi True Immortal.....
Whenever Zhou Bai's spiritual power was lacking, the surrounding chaotic qi and golden lotus would pour into his body, abundant spiritual power.
When the Tongtian Sect Master stopped, Zhou Bai had already broken through to the peak of the Golden Immortal, and he was only one step away from the Great Luo Golden Immortal.
Wake up quietly, as if in a different world.
Zhou Bai slowly opened his eyes, but saw that there was no longer the figure of the Tongtian Sect Master in front of him.
Turning to look, he saw the Tongtian Sect Master standing on the edge of the platform, looking down at the boundless chaos under his feet.
"Thank you, teacher. Zhou Bai said in a deep voice.
Tongtian waved his hand and said, "Since you called me teacher, then you don't have to say thank you." As he spoke, a smile appeared on the corner of the Tongtian Sect Master's mouth, like a hundred flowers blooming, and everything revived.
"Do you know how long it has been?"
Zhou Bai shook his head, but his face suddenly stiffened, as the so-called 'cultivation has no time', all kinds of works have retreats and enlightenments of hundreds of years and thousands of years, won't it be thousands of years this time?
Taiyi True Immortal cultivated to the peak of the Golden Immortal, how long did it take.....
Seeing Zhou Bai's slightly changing expression, the smile on the face of the Tongtian Sect Master became even stronger, "Your qualifications are not as bad as you imagined, it's just that your complicated thoughts have limited your cultivation." A hundred years of time to break through to the realm of the Golden Immortal is worthy of being a variable, 'the one who escaped'. ”
The expression on Zhou Bai's face suddenly fell, and the expression of crying and mourning caused the Tongtian Sect Master to laugh, "You kid, it took a hundred years to break through from Taiyi True Immortal to the peak of Golden Immortal, what else is there to be dissatisfied with?!"
Zhou Bai looked at his feet from time to time, and said with a wry smile: "The teacher doesn't know, I promised Hongyu a long time ago that I would never leave her alone, and now that we have been separated for a hundred years, I ......"
Since they got married, Zhou Bai and Hongyu have gathered less and separated more, and how difficult it has been along the way, they finally escaped from the space and came to the wilderness, but after a few months, they were separated for a hundred years.
Zhou Bai sighed lightly and looked at the chaos under his feet again.
"Don't worry. The Tongtian Sect Master smiled: "When you came, Hongyu had also begun to retreat, practicing my method of intercepting the teachings, and now it will take ten years to reach the bottleneck of cultivation and travel out of the customs." ”
"That's fine. Only then did Zhou Bai put his mind at ease.
So Zhou Bai spent another year getting familiar with the current cultivation and realm, and by the way, he asked for a bunch of useful and useless magic books from Tongtian.
"There are still four hundred years left before the period of the eastward transmission of Buddhism, what are you going to do, Zhou Bai?"
On this day, after the master of the Tongtian Sect deduced the heavenly machine, his face was a little ugly, since the heavenly dao established the general trend of Buddhism, the heavenly machine began to appear and disappear, and he was in a trance.
The fleeting fate of the Dao Sect also made his heart sink.
Buddhism is booming, and Taoism is catastrophic.
Zhou Bai noticed the face of the Tongtian Sect Master, thought for a moment, and replied: "Buddhism needs to spread Buddhism in the east, these saints know it, and the power of the world also knows it. ”
"Although the power of Buddhism is not as strong as that of Taoism, the strength of the Mahayana and Hinayana religions has surpassed that of Taoism. Zhou Bai said in a deep voice: "The Daomen is different from the Xuanmen, the Buddhism can win the Daomen but not the Xuanmen of the world, in order not to let these powerful people who feel 'cold lips and teeth' feel the sense of threat, the merits of the Eastern Transmission of Buddhism will not be exclusive." ”
Tongtian Sect Master nodded, what Zhou Bai said, he naturally understood.
It takes 9981 difficulties for the spread of Buddhism to the east, and each difficulty is a merit, and these dispensable merits are distributed to the great powers of scattered cultivation, which can naturally be exchanged for their support, after all, this is the general trend of the Heavenly Dao, and no one dares to go against the sky too presumptuously.
Zhou Bai's tone suddenly became low, and his voice was a little trance-like: "If you give more to others, you will have less of your own." The remaining merits naturally have to be given to those disciples with the highest cultivation and status. ”
Glancing at the Tongtian Sect Master, the Tongtian Sect Master only felt his heart tremble, and said in a deep voice: "Go on." ”
Zhou Bai sighed and said, "Some of the spirit beasts and mounts raised by these disciples are the disciples of the Interception Sect who were captured during the Fengshen period. ”
"Not some, but all. "The Tongtian Sect Master's face was gloomy, and his hands in his hidden sleeves couldn't help but clench, his disciple was beaten out of his original form, and even reduced to a pet mount!
The Tongtian Sect Master closed his eyes, it was useless for him to be extremely angry now, in the thousands of years of the world in front of the Zixiao Palace, he had learned to accumulate.
It's useless to be angry, then keep it, and when he is released, find someone to settle it together!
Zhou Bai didn't answer this question and continued: "When they enter the game and want to gain merit, it is an opportunity to rescue the Daoist brothers. ”
At this time, Zhou Bai suddenly stopped, and he didn't plan to say the rest of the words. Now that the Tongtian Sect Master and him have no name as master and apprentice, they have the grace of passing on the arts, which makes his hesitant heart even more entangled.
As if he sensed what Zhou Bai wanted to say, the Tongtian Sect Master smiled: "Since you can come here safe and sound, then you can finish all your words in peace and sound." ”
"And then?" A look of anticipation flashed in the eyes of the Tongtian Sect Master, he had been waiting for this sentence for countless years, and now he only hoped to be able to say it from Zhou Bai's mouth.
The avenue is fifty, and the sky is forty-nine.
The one who escaped.
