When the two returned to Shaolin, it was already more than an hour later.

And this Shaolin Conference has already come to an end, and even the people in the world have left.

"Taoist Priest Qingzhi, Brother Qiao, you are back." Seeing the two people turning back, Duan Yu, who had been guarding them, hurriedly came up to greet them.

Lu Zhi nodded at him, and Qiao Feng also came up to him and said, "Brother Duan, is my father okay? And the martial arts heroes have also left?"

Duan Yu glanced at the two of them, and then said: "Brother Qiao, don't worry, sister A'Zhu has been guarding the old hero Xiao."

"In addition, Master Xuanci passed away two hours ago."

It turned out that when Lu Zhi and Qiao Feng chased the sweeping monk and Murong Bo, Xiao Yuanshan did not let Xuanci go, and directly told the public about Xuanci and Ye Erniang.

There is no sharper weapon in the world than 'opening the wound'.

The old incident between Xuanci and Ye Erniang immediately pushed Xuanci and Shaolin to the forefront. In the end, in order to preserve the reputation of Shaolin, Xuanci took the punishment and punished himself with a three-hundred-ridge staff.

But Xuanci also knew very well that the three-hundred-ridge staff alone could not change everyone's thoughts, nor could it stop everyone's opinions today. Therefore, for the sake of Shaolin's reputation, he did not use his true energy to resist at all, and acted forcefully.

After resisting ninety-six sticks, he was finally seriously injured and coughed up blood and died.

After hearing the news, both Lu Zhi and Qiao Feng were silent for a long time.

After Xuanci dies, matters in Shaolin will be a little difficult to deal with. If the next abbot refuses to obey the court's disciplinary arrangements, Zhao Xu may really be cruel to Shaolin.

Fortunately, Lu Zhi's worries were unnecessary. Xuan Ci had already arranged the matter before he was sentenced, so there was no need to worry too much about things changing temporarily.

After all, after this battle, the Shaolin monks, no matter how stupid they are, can understand that the situation is irreversible. If they resist fiercely, they will only be asking for trouble.

Several people returned to the Shaolin Temple square, and sure enough they saw a high flame platform set up in the square, burning brightly, apparently for Xuanci's cremation.

And many Shaolin monks were sitting around the venue, reciting Ksitigarbha's Original Vow Sutra for Xuanci to save him from rebirth.

Seeing this, the few people did not go forward to disturb these monks, but turned around and came to the corner of the square, where Xiao Yuanshan, A'Zhu, Duan Zhengchun and others were waiting.

"Father." The moment he saw Xiao Yuanshan, Qiao Feng was stunned for a moment, then walked quickly towards him, "Father, what's wrong with you? Why?"

At this moment, Xiao Yuanshan's beard and hair had turned completely white, his face was full of wrinkles, and he had suddenly aged by more than ten years!

Xiao Yuanshan slowly raised his head and looked at Qiao Feng: "Feng'er, you're back. Don't worry. I'm fine. I'm just a little tired. I want to go find your mother early."

Lu Zhi also sighed: "Senior Xiao, why are you like this?"

How could he not see that Xiao Yuanshan's situation was obviously because he had lost his gong and all his strength, which caused him to suddenly become so old that he was almost on his deathbed.

Xiao Yuanshan shook his head: "I'm really tired. Over the past few decades, I have been focusing on this revenge thing. Feng'er, your mother, has been waiting for me down there for so long, but it's not my fault.

I'm finally going to find her now."

"Feng'er, you don't have to be sad for me. Just live a good life with A'Zhu from now on. As long as you live a normal life, you will be happy."

"By the way, you have to protect A'Zhu well and don't let anyone hurt a hair of hers. Otherwise, my father will not spare you."

Qiao Feng responded: "Yes, children must obey their father's orders."

After waiting for several breaths, he still didn't hear Xiao Yuanshan's response. Looking at his lowered eyelids again, Qiao Feng's heart suddenly thumped.

"Father?!"

Lu Zhi said softly: "Brother Qiao, Senior Xiao has passed away."

Qiao Feng suddenly stiffened, pursed his lips, and after a few breaths of silence, he took a few steps back, knelt heavily on the ground, and kowtowed three times to Xiao Yuanshan.

Seeing this, A'Zhu walked silently to Qiao Feng, and like him, kowtowed to Xiao Yuanshan to see him off.

This Shaolin Conference was really full of twists and turns. Before this, no one thought that things would eventually turn out like this.

Two days later, the news of the death of Shaolin Abbot Xuanci spread throughout the world. Along with it, there were also rumors about Shaolin sweeping monk, Qiao Feng and his son, and the imperial court master Taoist Lu Zhi.

There was a turmoil in the world.

Then, half a month later, Shaolin announced to the outside world that it would close the mountain and would no longer interfere in the affairs of the world for twenty years.

Lu Zhi also returned to the school bookstore in Bianliang City. While studying the Taoist scriptures every day and compiling the Wanshou Taoist Canon, he also retreated to realize the gains from the battle with the sweeping monk.

In the previous battle with the sweeping monk, Lu Zhi had already used this to see the way forward clearly, and also felt the special 'power' up close.

What he has to do now is to use this insight to complete his practice of his own way.

Time flies, and eight years have passed in the blink of an eye. On this day, Lu Zhi finally compiled the last volume of Taoist scriptures into the Taoist Canon.

After nearly ten years, the Wanshou Taoist Canon was finally compiled. The entire Wanshou Taoist Canon has a total of 540 letters and 5,481 volumes. The essence of countless articles in it has been turned into food for Lu Zhi!

The next day, after hearing that Wanshou Daozang had been completed, Zhao Xu sent Huang Menqian to the school bookstore to verify and award the reward, but Lu Zhi had long since disappeared.

In the end, they only found a resignation letter left by Lu Zhi in Lu Zhi's room. As for his people, they had already left Bianliang and traveled around the world.

The main reason why Lu Zhi stayed in Bianliang City for so many years was because of Wanshou Daozang. Now that Wanshou Daozang was established, it was meaningless for him to stay any longer.

As for Zhao Xu's reward, it was completely unattractive to Lu Zhi. The worldly power and wealth were just floating clouds to him.

In the following years, Lu Zhi went to the Deaf and Mute Valley, drank tea and played chess with Wu Yazi, went to the Piaomiao Peak of the Tianshan Mountains to sit and discuss Taoism with Child Elder, and also went to Dali to witness Duan Yu's ascension to the throne.

Arrive at the foot of Shaoshi Mountain and drink Qiao Feng’s fifth child’s full moon wine

Finally, he came to the Kunlun Mountains alone, found the valley of later generations, and closed himself up to death.

Since then, many legends have appeared in Kunlun Mountain.

Someone once said that on a certain full-moon night, they saw the sky full of stars and moonlight falling from the sky, like the waterfall, into the Kunlun Mountains.

Some people also say that he once saw a golden light suddenly blooming on the Kunlun Mountain in the early morning one day, and the sky and the earth were illuminated with a golden light.

Some people say that there is an immortal living in the Kunlun Mountains. He wears Taoist robes and carries a long sword on his back. He always looks like a young man.

Most people in the world don't know whether these rumors are true or false. Only those who have witnessed these 'miracles' with their own eyes know that they are not nonsense.

The four seasons changed, but it was still like spring in the valley. Later, even Lu Zhi could not remember how many years had passed.

After practicing in the mountains for a long time, Lu Zhi no longer knew what the world had become.

After years of hard training, Lu Zhi finally broke through the heaven barrier today and reached the realm of Taoism!

On this day, something suddenly changed in the Kunlun Mountains. Some people saw a golden light rising from the Kunlun Mountains and reaching the sky!
