Chapter 543 Taizu Preaches! There Are Experts in the Capital
The grass grows, orioles fly, and the spring light is bright.
On the outskirts of the capital, there is a breakthrough. The grass is barren and the ruins are covered up. Only a few huge pieces of water-polished bluestone can vaguely see the grand scene of this place.
Right now, a caravan was resting on the slope.
"Old Scarhead, where is this place? It looks like an old ruins."
In the caravan, a muscular young man with dark skin asked.
Old Scar Tou is the leader of the caravan. He has traveled across the country and north for more than forty years, and has been to the capital alone countless times. He is quite familiar with the stories and stories of various places.
"This is called Caolong Slope, also known as Lundao Slope. It is said that when Taizu was just a commoner when he was young, he once met a wandering Taoist priest here. He listened to his sermons for ten days and became enlightened. Later, he transformed into a real dragon. "
"After Taizu founded the country, Zen Master Jianyi from Daxue Palace in the north once asked Taizu here, so it gained the reputation of [Lundao Slope]."
The old man took out his dry cigarette, took two puffs, and puffed away the smoke, making the scars on his face look nothing.
“It turns out there are fairy allusions.
"Xiao Jiang, aren't you asking for immortality and looking for an expert? Come out and pay your respects. This is the place where Grandfather Taizu attained enlightenment."
In the caravan, bursts of laughter and shouts broke out one after another, and the same name was called out in unison.
"I'm coming."
At this moment, the foal neighed, and a young man put down the fodder in his hand, ran over with the wind, and stood at the highest point of the slope, with excitement on his face.
"Where is the place where Taizu became enlightened? Where is it?" Xiao Jiang looked around.
"You're stepping on me." The man next to him sneered.
"That's it!?"
Xiao Jiang looked at the desolation and broken arms and ruins, and the excitement on his face gradually faded, replaced by a touch of disappointment.
"Xiao Jiang, don't listen to them. If you want to ask for immortality, there are plenty of places to go in the capital." Old Scar waved his hand and said with a grin.
"It's just that the path of cultivation is too difficult. If you ask me, you'd better follow me on the caravan. Within three years, I guarantee you will marry a beautiful girl."
Lao Scar looked at Xiao Jiang with a look of admiration on his face.
He met this young man on the way. Old Scar saw that he was alone and young, so he took him with him for a while.
Who would have thought that although this young man is young, he has a lot of strength and works harder than his men.
In today's world, young people who are so down-to-earth and willing to work are rare.
"Master said that if you want to become powerful, you have to meet more experts." Xiao Jiang showed a simple and honest smile.
This was the first time in his life that he had traveled far away. To him, everything outside seemed extremely new.
"At the feet of the emperor, there is a land of true dragons. There are so many experts in the capital, as numerous as the sands of the Henghai Sea." Old Scar took a puff of cigarette and grinned softly, appearing to be unfathomable.
When Xiao Jiang heard this, his eyes lit up.
"Who are the experts?"
"Right now, there is a new man, whose fame has already shocked the world. I heard that even Taoist masters are looking for him."
"Upstart!?"
As soon as these words came out, even the guys in the caravan who were teasing Xiao Jiang couldn't help but pricked up their ears.
Although Lao Scartou was a businessman, when he was young, he also visited famous mountains and studied under his masters. He acquired a lot of skills and was quite familiar with things in the spiritual world.
"This new rich man's name is Zhou Dao. He is not very young, but he is already the supervisory envoy of the Demon Control Department."
"Supervisory envoy? What kind of official is this?" someone asked in confusion.
For people of their level, such an official position seems unfamiliar.
"I heard it's bigger than the Fusi."
"What? The Fu Secretary is a high-ranking official in the border area? Is that upstart named Zhou Dao so powerful?"
Everyone was shocked and confused. Although they did not know the name of the special envoy of supervision, the Fu Si was in charge of a Fu Yu Yu Division and controlled more than a dozen cities. He had a high and powerful position. He was a figure that they could not even look at on weekdays.
"What is this? This Master Xiao Zhou is not only a special envoy of supervision, but also a disciple of one of the nine divine pillars [Sword Pillar]."
"sword……"
All the guys took a breath, their throats squirmed, and they couldn't hide their shock.
For them, no matter how great the official position is, they are still ordinary people.
However, the reputation of the [Nine Divine Pillars] shocked the world, and it slayed demons and demons. To mortals, it was a god-like existence.
Many families even enshrine the longevity tablets of the Nine God Pillars, burning incense and worshiping them day and night.
Since Mr. Xiao Zhou can become a disciple of the Nine Divine Pillars, he must also be a god-like figure.
"Sure enough, he is a powerful character." Everyone sighed.
"This is nothing."
"Isn't this nothing?" Everyone was stunned.
"In the past few days, a piece of news came out in the capital, which shocked the world." Lao Scartou lowered his voice.
"What's the news?" Everyone held their breath and couldn't help asking.
"It is rumored that Mr. Xiao Zhou is the famous King Yuan."
Lao Scartou took a long drag on the cigarette and blew it out. His eyes were blurry, but through the lingering smoke, his condensed gaze showed a trace of yearning and longing.
"Prince Yuan!?" Everyone was surprised.
Although these mortals do not know the name of King Yuan, they have heard of the King Yuan Dharma Assembly.
That was a grand event held just in the thirty-third year of the Qin Dynasty. Only the strongest could stand out and inherit the title of King Yuan.
Most people don't know it, but these guys heard it from Lao Scarhead in their early years.
"Prince Yuan...that was a dream I once had..." Old Scar put away his cigarette and touched the scar on his face, with endless loneliness and sadness in his eyes.
"Old Scarhead, you are remembering the past again, your heroic dream when you were young." Someone saw this and couldn't help but joked.
"Whoever is young and has no ambition, once promised to be the best in the world..."
Old Scarhead murmured softly, he raised his hand, and a wisp of blood wrapped around his fingertips, showing the cultivation level of the Sixth Transformation Realm.
When everyone saw this, they couldn't help but be moved.
Strictly speaking, Lao Scartou is also a cultivator and is the backbone of their caravan. The safe journey all depends on Lao Scartou's cultivation.
It is said that when he was young, he abandoned his family and business to seek immortality. He even ignored his newlywed wife's plea to stay and left for three years.
Three years later, when he came back again, he was just in time to eat his child's birthday.
From then on, Lao Scar stared at the halo on his head and lost his energy.
As for the Yuanwang Dharma Conference, it became his eternal dream.
He vaguely remembered that the King of Yuan that year was also named Zhou, and his name was Zhou Xuan.
That year, he once came to the capital and saw it from a distance.
"Xiao Jiang, this Prince Yuan is the master you call him." Lao Scartou calmed down and said with a smile.
"Prince Yuan..." Xiao Jiang murmured softly, his eyes filled with brilliance.
When Old Scar saw this, he grinned and said, "But a person like King Yuan is not someone you can just meet if you want to."
"That's a god-like existence..."
Lao Scartou said with deep emotion.
"A fairy-like existence? Mortals are really ignorant."
At this moment, a burst of sarcastic laughter came from a distance, showing disregard and contempt.
Lao Scar frowned and looked up.
The grass was blown low by the wind, and a man and a woman strolled over. They were young, their steps were slow, but their speed was very fast. They were in front of them in the blink of an eye.
"Junior sister, did you hear this? Now the name of King Yuan is getting bigger and bigger, and he is actually regarded as a god." Lan Qian smiled slightly, as if he had heard the funniest joke in the world.
Next to her, Luo Yiyi, who was wearing a purple skirt, also pursed her lips and smiled, showing a bit of ridicule.
"Ordinary people don't know the immortals in the sky, and mistakenly regard the clay sculptures as gods." Luo Yiyi chuckled.
"Who are you? Are you so loud? You don't even pay attention to King Yuan?" Old Scarhead shouted in a deep voice.
For him, King Yuan is a complex in his heart, a youthful dream that cannot be tainted by others.
The two young people in front of me were really too loud.
"We are disciples of Feixian Palace." Lan Qianyin said proudly.
"Flying Immortal Palace!?"
There was a burst of exclamation from the crowd.
As everyone knows, Taoism is flourishing in the world, and there are many sects, headed by the six ancient sects, Longhu, Taiyi, Feixian, Black Sky, Jiu Miao and Tianshi.
Feixian Palace is one of the six great gates in the world, the authentic Xuanmen. valley
"Disciple of Feixian Palace!?" Xiao Jiang's eyes lit up again.
In his eyes, this is also a master.
"Old man, you are only in the realm of refining, but you dare to talk about world affairs, regard King Yuan as a god, and disrespect us?" Lan Qianyin sneered.
This time, they came out for the sake of King Yuan, who had been causing a lot of trouble recently.
The old man in front of me, whose cultivation level is no doubt that of an ant, dares to talk nonsense?
"I'll teach you a lesson."
Lan Ganyin flicked his finger, and a wisp of strong wind swept across him, rushing forward like crazy. The grass fell on his head, and the invisible strange force headed towards Lao Scartou's face.
boom……
At this moment, there was a loud noise, and a wisp of strong wind exploded three feet away from Old Scar's head, turning into flowing wind and scattering in all directions.
The aftermath alone caused Old Scar to take more than twenty steps back.
"Feixian Palace's reputation is really great, and it's very impressive to bully other mortals."
An indifferent voice slowly sounded on this [Caolong Slope].
Everyone followed the sound, and among the desolate green grass, a young man walked slowly, wearing cloth clothes and light shoes, followed by a dog, and behind him was a demon-slaying guard.
"Who are you? Dare to interfere with my Feixian Palace's business?" Lan Ganyin's eyes revealed a gleam of coldness.
"More than thirty years ago, at the Yuanwang Dharma Conference, a senior of your Feixian Palace was so arrogant. As a result, his claws were chopped off and his white teeth were knocked out..."
The young man slowly walked to a huge broken pillar and raised his hand to touch the sword marks on it.
"Who are you?" Lan Ganyin's expression suddenly changed.
This is a story from the past. When his uncle first mastered his magical powers, it happened to be during the Yuan Dynasty Dharma Assembly. It turned out that in the capital city, here on Caolongpo, he was sitting and talking about Taoism. Who would have thought that his tone was too loud? When he met a man in gray, he had one of his arms destroyed. The palm of his hand was full of claws and claws.
His uncle was so shocked that he returned to the mountain gate and remained in seclusion for thirty years without ever being born.
As for the man in gray, he shined in that Yuanwang Dharma Assembly and inherited the title of Yuanwang.
The man's name was Zhou Xuan.
At this moment, when the other party mentioned this past incident, it was like a knife stabbed into Lan Qianyin's heart, and the sect's face was like a matter of life and death.
For a time, he was full of murderous intent and made no secret of it.
"Oh? It's a bit bloody. Do you want to fight with me?" The young man raised his eyes and looked for a moment, but his attention was still on the sword mark.
"I'm going to make you pay the price." Lan Ganyin shouted in a deep voice.
His voice was like thunder, and his true energy roared up, like an endless river, almost submerging the entire Caolongpo.
The traders were so frightened that they dispersed like birds and beasts.
"It's interesting to achieve success in half a step." The young man nodded.
"I'll give you a chance. If you can take one step, you will win."
"Arrogant." Lan Ganyin shouted violently.
He is the true disciple of Feixiangong, and he has reached the level of cultivation in half a step.
The man in front of me is so confident that as long as he takes a step in front of him, he will be considered a winner?
This is just plain humiliating.
Rumble…
As soon as Lan Qianyin's thoughts arose, he felt an unprecedented pressure. The true energy soaring into the sky was trembling, as if it was like a candle in the wind, and it would die out at any time.
He suddenly looked up in shock.
The man was still standing there, concentrating on the sword marks on the stone pillar in front of him, without even glancing at him from the corner of his eye.
Even so, Lan Ganyin still felt an endless sense of oppression, as if he was facing a high mountain, spanning between heaven and earth, thousands of miles across, as if it was a divine punishment that was difficult to climb.
"Senior brother..." Luo Yiyi's face turned pale, and she looked at the man in front of her in horror, with a look of disbelief on her face.
How could it be that his senior brother's cultivation was half-stepped into a martial arts, and he couldn't even take one step forward in front of this person?
"I don't believe it..." Lan Ganyin gritted his teeth and shouted.
Veins popped up all over his body, and every inch of flesh and blood seemed to be bearing a huge force. His left leg trembled and he was about to take that step of dignity.
However, Lan Ganyin devoted all his strength and poured all his energy into his left leg.
However, his left leg stopped in mid-air, but he couldn't move forward.
"Sure enough, it is the sword seal of the previous generation King Yuan..." The young man looked at the stone pillar in front of him, thoughtfully.
With just these words, Lan Ganyin's self-esteem seemed to have been trampled on like never before, and the man didn't seem to notice his existence at all.
puff……
Lan Ganyin screamed and vomited blood. He flew out and fell heavily to the ground.
"Hey, little thing, are you challenging my master? Looking for abuse." The big dog next to him grinned.
"Senior brother..." Luo Yiyi hurried forward.
Lan Ganyin's breath was weak and his face was pale. He climbed up with difficulty and looked at the young man in front of him in horror. He no longer had the arrogance he had just now.
"May I ask for your name?"
"My name is Zhou Dao." The visitor said with a slight smile.
"Prince Yuan!?" Lan Ganyin's expression suddenly changed, and the corners of his mouth twitched and became bitter.
King Yuan is like a god, and the rumors are true.
"I've been taught a lesson." Lan Qianyin seemed to have lost his soul. He stood up, bowed, and left with his junior sister.
Luo Yiyi looked back and stared at Zhou Dao, both in awe and curiosity. Finally, she bit her silver teeth lightly and helped Lan Qianyin to leave.
"Brother Dao, why don't you keep them?" Wang Xiaoyi looked at Luo Yiyi's figure and grinned.
"Why stay? It's not as valuable as a yellow leather." Zhou Dao curled his lips and said lightly.
In his eyes, these two true disciples of Feixian Palace were even worse than monsters.
"This discussion slope is indeed extraordinary, with traces left by the previous generation King Yuan." Zhou Dao withdrew his gaze.
Since the end of the Shanhai Banquet, his reputation as King Yuan has spread all over the world.
Zhou Dao turned a blind eye to this and instead searched the capital for traces left by the previous king of Yuan Dynasty.
"Since Daopo is famous, so many masters have come to understand the secret words left by Taizu. It is not unusual for the previous king of Yuan Dynasty to come." Wang Xiaoyi said softly.
"What secret language?" Zhou Dao asked in confusion.
"You don't know? Nature is the mystery of enlightenment."
"tell me the story."
"In Taizu's later years, Zen Master Jianyi from the Snow Palace in the north came to the capital and asked Taizu how long it would take him to become enlightened given his qualifications."
"Taizu looked at it for a moment and replied, ten years."
"I met a Zen master and asked again, what if I practice harder?"
"Taizu held out two fingers and replied, twenty years."
"Seeing a Zen master who was persevering and eager to seek the truth, he asked again, what if he works day and night without sleeping?"
"Taizu shook his head and replied, then you will never be enlightened."
"I saw a Zen master who was puzzled and asked why."
"Taizu only said five words, and these five words became the secret of enlightenment. Until now, later generations have not revealed the mystery."
Zhou Dao heard this and was curious: "What five words did Taizu say?"
"Where are you and your mother!?" Wang Xiaoyi's eyes revealed the luster of wisdom.
"Your mother seems to want to return to the origin of the mother's body and solve the mystery of the womb, but what is the meaning of the word 'juan'?"
Wang Xiaoyi sighed softly and expressed his admiration for Taizu's wisdom, which has reached heaven and man. No one can break the secret of enlightenment.
"Hahaha..." Zhou Dao couldn't help laughing.
"why are you laughing?"
"Taizu is worthy of being Taizu. There is great freedom, great bliss, and great wisdom... Hahaha..."
"What the fuck!" Zhou Dao laughed wildly and left with Ha Shiqi and Wang Xiaoyi.
The green grass was deserted, and silence returned to the cold Lundao Slope.
Among the ruins, Xiao Jiang slowly walked out. He looked at the direction where Zhou Dao disappeared, his eyes shining like stars.
"Prince Yuan...Dao Zhou...the master is right, there are experts in the capital."
He grinned, took a step forward, and turned into a sword light, breaking through the vast void and annihilating the invisible.
