Chapter 373: Centennial Taoist
How many years has it been since he saw the sun?
Ever since he came to the underground world of immortality, he gradually no longer knew what the real sunlight looked like.
Although the earth's fire and magma are bright, how can they compare with the fire of the sun, which can illuminate all things.
One view of the other mountain complements each other, like a dream, and there are many immortals lingering intoxicated.
Seeing such beautiful scenery that he had not seen for a long time, Wu Tao sighed slightly and felt better after a long time.
"Qingcheng is like a Yaotai, with green peaks rising from the north and crossing the Minjiang River. Purple air comes from the east and immortals arrive. Seven or eight pavilions and corridors are first seen. The Qingming world at the end is a beautiful fairyland on earth."
There were many emotions in his heart. If he had not seen the majesty of Qingcheng Mountain in person, it would be difficult for Wu Tao to appreciate the profound connotation of this eternal song by the great poet Sultan of this generation.
This year was the twenty-fifth year of Hongwu. Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang raised troops to destroy the Yuan Dynasty, conquered most of the Yuan Dynasty, drove away the Mongols from the grasslands, ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, established the Ming Dynasty, and was known as Taizu of the Ming Dynasty in history.
In the hands of this legendary founder of the Ming Dynasty, who was a man of great talent and military prowess, the Ming Dynasty was flourishing and prosperous, with all nations coming to court.
At that time, it was early August, and the flowers were already blooming all over the north, and the fragrance of flowers was astonishing, not to mention the Qingcheng Mountain in the Sichuan Basin.
Wu Tao, who is about 120 years old, is wearing an imperial Taoist robe that symbolizes the glory of the national master, and has a Zhenwu sword on his waist.
A man with a sword stood in front of the gate. There seemed to be endless sorrow in the corners of his eyebrows. He was depressed and could not express himself. Even this pleasant scenery could not resolve it.
As the Zhongxing Patriarch of Qingyun Temple, the leader of the Taoist sect, and the number one Taoist in the world, everyone must be courteous, even the current emperor.
It is indeed not easy for Qingyunzi to reach this point today. He has gained a lot and lost even more. One can imagine the regret in his heart.
Wu Tao guessed that his tests and tasks should be related to the regrets in Qingyunzi's heart.
It turns out that Qingyunzi once visited Qingcheng Mountain three times, united the righteous forces, and defeated the Demon God Sect and their minions outside Fuyuan City in one fell swoop.
During the three trips to Qingcheng Mountain, a young girl fell in love with Qingyunzi, who was in her fifties, and bravely confessed her love.
And Qing Yunzi, who had never been married in her life, was actually tempted when she looked at the young, lively and cute girl in front of her.
As a result, Qingyunzi cruelly refused due to reasons such as identity, status, public opinion, and pressure.
Ten years later, when Qing Yunzi was sixty years old, he received a wedding invitation. The girl got married, but the person she married was not him.
Courage, sometimes it only takes a little bit of courage, and you won't have any regrets in this life.
This is Qingyunzi’s biggest regret.
…
Qingyunzi's second biggest regret is that his master Xu Lingzi failed to complete the last words before his death.
Together with all the Taoists in the world, on Qingcheng Mountain, we will build a Taoist canon that has been handed down from generation to generation, in order to rectify the name of Qingyun Temple.
However, this matter is difficult to accomplish even with Qingyunzi's current status.
There are thousands of Taoist sects in the world, and all of them are competitors. Even though Qingyunzi is a leading figure among the contemporary Taoist sects, he has worked hard for decades and failed to complete the task despite giving up some of his interests.

…
Qingyunzi's third and final regret is that he has never seen with his own eyes the millions of splendid rivers and mountains of the Ming Empire.
Qingyunzi's nickname is Lin Fan. He grew up in Qingyun Temple. After being accepted as a disciple by Xu Lingzi, he enjoyed great family happiness.
Qingyunzi regarded Xu Lingzi as his biological father, but Xu Lingzi abandoned him decades later and passed on the position of master of Qingyun Temple to him.
In the days to come, for the future of Qingyun Temple...
Qingyunzi, who lived for 120 years, only went down to Mount Qingcheng three times in this extremely long life.
Moreover, these three times, there were important things to be done, and the troops had to be deployed quickly, so they were in such a hurry that they didn't have time to see the surrounding scenery.
Cheng Ran, it was Qingyun Temple that made Qingyunzi a famous person in the world.
Without Qingyun Temple, a powerful force, supporting Qingyunzi, Qingyunzi himself would not have achieved such great achievements no matter how high his martial arts skills were.
The relationship between Qingyunzi and Qingyun Temple is mutual support and mutual achievement. When Qingyunzi became a Taoist disciple in the world, Qingyun Temple also became the leader of the Taoist sect and the state religion that coexisted with the country.
However, there are gains and losses, and Qingyun Temple also bound Qingyunzi's life in this process.
Having escaped from his nature, he turned into a wooden statue, standing there motionless, like a living dead.
…
Talk about the other side.
Hearing that their master wanted to go out alone, the two apprentices, Xingjun and Xingyun, panicked and tried to persuade him in every possible way, but to no avail. They had to gather all the disciples and disciples to see Wu Tao off.
On the same day.
Wu Tao, with a Zhenwu sword across his waist, a temple master's crown on his head, and a national master's Taoist robe, stood on a high platform, looking down at more than a thousand disciples and disciples.
More than a thousand Taoist priests lowered their foreheads, performed the ritual of kowtow to the ancestor, and respectfully performed the ritual of respecting the teacher and respecting the Tao. The sound shook the heaven and earth.
The kindness of preaching is second only to the kindness of parents in giving birth. In addition, the original owner of Wu Tao's body, Qingyunzi, is one hundred and twenty years old. Therefore, these more than a thousand Taoist priests are willing to perform this ceremony of worship without any hesitation.
Humiliation and resentment.
Thousands of Taoist priests, calling the Patriarch together, such a grand occasion and such a formation, I am afraid only the Taoist ancestor of that time, Lao Tzu, could have such an appearance...
In order to complete the task and test, Wu Tao was very anxious. After bidding farewell to his apprentices, he rode down the mountain on horseback.
The Ming Empire stretched for millions of miles, and it was not easy to visit it all in a short time.
He spent several months in Jingzhou alone, and Wu Tao went to neighboring Yangzhou without stopping, which shows how anxious he was.
Looking up and around, I saw that the man and his horse had arrived at the boundary of Guangling City, and the twilight was dim.
Wu Tao sat on his horse in a drizzle of light rain. He sighed helplessly and entered the city, looking for an inn to rest for the night.
In the evening, Wu Tao was sitting on the bed, meditating quietly. The Zhenwu sword next to him suddenly made a sword roar.
After hearing the sound, Wu Tao's heart immediately became alert.
He activated his internal energy and listened carefully to the movements around him. Apart from the rustling sound of the wind blowing the vegetation, there was indeed a faint sound of footsteps.
It's really weird that there are experts operating here so late at night.
Wu Tao couldn't help but feel something in his heart. Could it be that this

People are looking for bad luck in me!
He is the master of the Qingyun Temple. He possesses the Hunyuan Qiankun Kung Fu, as well as Tianyan Arithmetic Sword Technique, Dragon Tenghu Leap Footwork and other top techniques. After killing himself, he will not only gain a great reputation, but also obtain several top-level books.
exercises.
It would be reasonable to say that someone is coveting it. Thinking of this, Wu Tao circulated his internal energy to various meridians, and his whole body was ready to attack, waiting for the enemy to arrive and launch a thunderous strike.
The window next door was gently pushed open, and a sound of breaking wind came. Then a person jumped from the window and climbed to the roof with a slight jump. The lightness of his feet was obvious, and he had reached the pinnacle of it.
.
After a stick of incense, the sound of jumping and moving gradually faded away, heading south.
At this time, Wu Tao discovered that it turned out that this master had no ambitions for himself. He was relieved and at the same time, he became curious.
Without thinking, Wu Tao opened the window, jumped out, looked for the master's footprints, and quietly pursued him.
Wu Tao's original Qing Gong has been practiced for more than a hundred years, and he can be said to be unparalleled in the world and the best in the world.
In less than half a cup of tea, Wu Tao saw the traces of the master in night clothes. The two of them were chasing each other.
After chasing for a while, Wu Tao became even more curious. After all, something important must have happened to allow a master-level expert to rush in such a hurry in the dark night.
The two of them chased each other through the dark night for more than ten miles. This master-level expert in night clothes stopped in front of a Buddhist temple.
Seeing that there were no bushes around him that could block him, Wu Tao could only jump up and hide in a dense tree.
Just such a slight movement made this master-level expert in night clothes alert. He looked around carefully, but there was not even a ghost around him.
However, even so, this master-level expert still felt something was wrong, as if someone was following him.
Wu Tao hid among the leaves, looked through the light that was not too bright, and suddenly saw the plaque in front of the temple's main entrance.
Above the plaque are three large characters "Landuo Temple" washed with gold powder.
Landuo Temple is a famous Buddhist temple in the world.
Not to mention the three hundred monks who protect the temple, the "Master Liao Kong" who presides over them has master-level internal skills, specializing in the indestructible magic of gold and steel, and is invulnerable to swords, water and fire.
Of course, Landa Temple is most famous in the world for its treasure that holds the temple in check, the Sanskrit version of "Moko Magic".
It is said that this set of exercises was created by the Patriarch Bodhidharma. Once you practice it, you can conquer the world and become invincible.
It is precisely because of this that Landa Temple has been targeted by countless people with ulterior motives. Fortunately, with the strength of Landa Temple, ordinary young people do not dare to provoke it at will, so it has been safe and sound for so many years.
However, the strange thing tonight is that there was so much blood flowing out from the gate of Landa Temple that it almost turned into a stream. Even if dozens of monks had their heads cut off at the same time, there would be no trace of blood.
It will become what it is now.
