Five hundred and twentieth eight chapters past and present
"The last chapter of the book said that it is more difficult to establish a path than to ascend to the sky! Even the Martial Saint Taigong, who assisted King Wu in defeating Zhou, failed and died with hatred. His remaining soul disappeared in heaven and earth, and only seven Taigong relics remained in the world.
This led to endless battles and caused a series of bloody storms, which will be discussed later and will not be mentioned for now."
"But it is said that the old day has disappeared, and a new sun has risen. The Taigong has fallen, but among the eight sects, there is one person who shines brilliantly in the great tribulation of Taoism and Buddhism and becomes famous all over the world. This person personally ended the Taigong Taoism.
Master Fuyao of Taihua Mountain during the Great Tribulation of Buddhism and Daoism!"
"This Master Fuyao has an extraordinary origin. His family name is Chen. He is a nobleman of the Southern Dynasties. He is also the younger brother of Master Nanming, the headmaster of Mount Taihua. He is one of the Eight Sons of Taihua and an elder of the Eight Sects. He is a master of Taoism and Taoism!"
Inside the teahouse, a storyteller stands on the stage, talking eloquently about myths from the past.
Under the stage, the tables were already full of people, and everyone was attentive, listening to the people on the stage talking, and cheering from time to time!
Behind the crowd, there were three young men standing in the corner, listening with gusto. One of them was a little short and thin. When he heard this, his expression suddenly became bright and he said to the two people beside him: "That Headmaster Taihua, you are...
It’s my ancestor!”
Next to him, a handsome man in white clothes with an impressive appearance lit up his eyes when he heard this and said, "Brother Dingji, are you serious about this? I've never heard you say that before."
"Brother Dingji" was about to say more, but was interrupted by a third person.
"Chunfeng, don't listen to his nonsense. You have just made acquaintance with him, so you don't know that he likes to talk nonsense. He always says the truth and even makes promises. But when it comes to keeping them,
, and then disappeared."
This man's face is sharp and angular, he has a strong back and a tall physique, and he shows that he has extraordinary martial arts skills.
"Brother Dingji" was immediately dissatisfied and yelled: "Li Deji, don't talk nonsense! I, Li Dingji, have never said such big words? Immortals are hard to find, and there are always opportunities. If you don't have enough opportunities, of course you won't see them.
Not to mention you and others, even my grandfather was almost able to meet the real Fuyao when Emperor Wu of the previous dynasty passed away, but in the end he was still not lucky enough to actually meet him. "
"Dong Zhenxiang, have you ever had the opportunity to meet Master Fuyao?" Chunfeng's eyes lit up.
The tall Li Dejiang laughed and was about to say something else when he suddenly saw people around him glaring at the three of them. Even the storyteller on the stage stopped and looked at the three of them.
He came back to his senses, waved his hand quickly, and said to his two companions: "Please keep your voice down, it will disturb others listening to the book! If this continues, I won't bring you here next time!"
Chunfeng and Li Dingji also realized the problem and quickly kept silent.
Seeing the three people approaching like this, everyone withdrew their gaze and continued to look at the stage.
The storyteller also regained his composure and continued: "...this master Fuyao has magical powers. He is the Eight Desolates and Liuhes. Many great powers from the Yin and Yang realms took action at the same time, but they were unable to stop him. They were defeated one by one. We
The auspicious golden flames on Chang'an were left behind at that time, and are the testimony of that battle that year!"
"That's it! It turns out that Jin Yan still has such an origin!"
"The allusion to Fuyao's spending money turns out to be here. I originally thought it was because when Fuyao was the former Chen clan, he spent money like dirt."
"It's funny to laugh at people. Fuyao's squandering money is always used in conjunction with destroying the dead. How can he have the intention of squandering money like dirt?"
…
The crowd was talking in low voices, but immediately fell silent when the storyteller cleared his throat and coughed.
"The golden flames are panic-stricken, the demons and monsters retreat when they see it, and the demons and monsters flee when they hear it. This is the best auspiciousness in the world. If the Sui Emperor had not left Chang'an and went to Jiangdu, he would not have been killed by Nayu Wenhuaji! Now because of the above
We captured Chang'an, proclaimed ourselves the emperor here, and established the Tang Dynasty, thus opening the way for good fortune. It has only been less than a month since we have captured half of the country, and we have the potential to swallow up the mountains and rivers. It will only be a matter of time before the Central Plains can be reunited..."
This man was getting excited about what he was saying, and everyone was listening with interest, but at this moment...
"You said that the Fuyaozi of Taihua Mountain was so powerful, so why did the former Chen Dynasty fall?"
A childish voice suddenly sounded from the corner, attracting everyone's attention.
Li Dejiao, Li Dingji, and Chunfeng also looked over, but what they saw was a slender figure, wearing a green robe, a small crown, a feather fan in hand, and a handsome face.
Li Dingji immediately whispered: "It's a woman disguised as a man. I don't know which family she is from."
Li Dejiang glared at him and said: "This woman is uttering arrogant words. I'm afraid she won't be able to be kind. Let's watch the show. Don't get involved. Keep your temper. Don't lose control as soon as you see that she is a woman."
Hands and feet!”
"I can tell the difference!" Li Dingji immediately said seriously, "This woman's words are contemptuous of Master Taihua. What is the status of Mount Taihua? Master Nanming is the ancestor of my family, how can he say more?"
The two of them were talking when they heard Na Chunfeng say: "However, what this woman said makes sense. I have heard the name of Master Fuyao since I was a child and know many of his deeds. I have always wondered whether there is such a person.
Guzhu, why did Nanchen not only fail to prosper, but eventually perished, the Chen family was separated, and there were even rumors that..."
When Li Dejiang heard this, his expression suddenly changed, and he quickly said: "Li Chunfeng! You should stop saying a few words!"
He never expected that by blocking Li Dingji's mouth, he would neglect Li Chunfeng's courage!
"This brother is right!" The man disguised as a man suddenly looked over and smiled slightly, "According to rumors, Master Fuyao possesses a treasure and is coveted by the powerful powers of the four continents. He has been surrounded several times.
After being plotted against, even though he had mystical powers and profound Taoism, he was outnumbered, and the light could not withstand the darkness. In the end, he was cut off from the three flowers on his head, with five qi in his chest, and fell into the mortal world. As a result, he was unwilling to destroy his homeland, so he returned to the mortal world and wanted to
He tried to turn things around, but in the end, he was hit by the energy and blood smoke in the battle formation. Finally, he lost all his magical powers and was captured and killed!"
As soon as this statement came out, everyone was in an uproar!
"That's nonsense!"
"Is it something that you, the wise guy, can discuss about the Taihua Immortal Family?"
"I dare to publicize what I have heard from hearsay!"
…
In the crowd, some people retorted angrily, while others remained silent and looked thoughtful.
Others shook their heads and sighed, saying: "These things about the Immortal Family are inherently true and false. Most of them are far-fetched or even fabricated by later generations. There are actually people who argue and question each other about this. It is really ridiculous!"
"
But the dressed-up woman refused and just asked: "Sir, although you are a storyteller, what you say must have a cause and effect, be able to explain it clearly, be able to argue clearly, and withstand scrutiny, otherwise
What's the difference between that and those people who talk nonsense? Please don't shy away and answer the doubts in your mind!"
Hearing this, many people nodded secretly and looked at the storyteller subconsciously.
But I saw that this man was not in a hurry. He picked up the tea cup from the table next to him, took a sip, moistened his throat, and said with a smile: "Everyone, please be patient."
As soon as he opened his mouth, everyone finally fell silent.
Seeing that Li Chunfeng was still waiting to speak, Li Dejiang quickly tugged on the corner of his clothes and whispered: "Chunfeng, you have gone to Taihua Mountain several times to search for the secret realm of the Immortal Family but have returned without success. When you came back, you only looked at the surface in everything.
To be honest, there might be something hidden in this matter right now, why not listen?"
Li Chunfeng smiled and said: "Brother, I have misunderstood. I am not questioning the real person Fuyao, but I want to understand whether the real person is alive or dead. After all, since the unification of the Sui Dynasty, immortals and Buddhas have appeared in the world, and many real living Buddhas have walked around the world.
The rumored great men and powerful men have all left their footprints somewhere, but only this Fuyao Master has only been heard of his name, but not seen! Some say that he has unparalleled magical powers, while others say that he has long since fallen.
, and there are also claims that he exaggerated, and the various rumors are true and false, false and true, which is really curious."
While he was talking here, the storyteller there put down his tea cup and said: "It's not surprising that this girl has such doubts. She traveled all over the country and traveled all over the Central Plains before this Jiu Sheng Tower, telling the story of the Immortal Family and Buddhism.
We are often asked about many things, and the matter about Master Fuyao was asked most frequently. I was asked a lot, and I often thought about it, explored it, and even visited various places. I was fortunate enough to meet several people who had experienced it personally.
Taoist priest, I got the answer."
Having said this, he paused and whetted his appetite. Seeing that someone couldn't help but want to ask, he said: "The reason why Chen Zhi of the Southern Kingdom perished was not because of Master Fuyao's failure to save it, but because Empress Chen took the blame on herself!"
Seeing everyone's doubts, he explained: "The so-called Chen State is actually quite complicated. Although the founding king Chen Baxian was brave enough to win the three armies, he was unable to succeed for some reason, and even the throne fell to his nephews. Therefore, Chen Jun behind him was originally
If you don't win the country rightly, your luck will naturally be bad. Fortunately, people like Fuyao Zhenren appeared, and you can continue to win the country Zuo. For a while, you also got the Huai land. Unfortunately, it was your luck that was bad, so it didn't last long until the queen, Chen Shubao, came to the throne.
, is rebellious and has done evil repeatedly, and I don’t know why. This person especially hates Master Fuyao and will not hesitate to cut off his own foundation and destroy the Great Wall!"
After a pause, he took another sip of water, and then said: "Not only did Chen Shubao frame him several times, he even joined forces with outsiders to murder Master Fuyao! In the end, Master Fuyao was disheartened. It is said that he first connected all his family members
After entering the fairyland, he transformed into a ray of blood and was buried with Chen Guo. Since then, he has cut away the entanglements in the world and is truly free and at ease!"
"I see!"
When everyone heard this, they were immediately satisfied.
Then I saw the storyteller patting the table and saying, "I said a lot of extraneous things today, but it's getting late, so I'll stop here for now. If you want to know what happens next, please listen to the explanation next time! Everyone, please!"
Everyone stood up and said goodbye.
After walking out of the door, Li Chunfeng said with emotion: "So it turned out that the mortal incarnation was beheaded? This makes sense. I think it was because I was discouraged..."
But Li Dejiao said: "Chunfeng, just listen to this fairy family matter and don't talk about it too much."
"That's right, if you really want to know, I'll ask my ancestors when I get the chance..." Li Dingji wanted to say, but was interrupted by a slap on his body. Just as he was about to complain, he heard a chuckle.
.
"Those remarks are just family talk. Who can say clearly whether it is the incarnation of Zhan? However, I don't believe it. Brother, you also have some knowledge. Do you want to come with me to explore it?
verify?"
The sound came suddenly. The three of them looked around and saw that it was the woman disguised as a man. They couldn't help but have different expressions.
Li Dejiang was about to speak when he heard Li Chunfeng ask.
"How to explore? How to verify?"
"I've met two of them."
Deep in the dark alley, the storyteller was holding his hand towards a man in black, and then whispered: "Today is going well, because there are people interfering with the situation, so I can spread more information."
"Very good." The man in black nodded, took out a few pieces of broken silver from his arms and handed it over, "You can stay in Chang'an for a while longer, and then head there after the Tang army has defeated several families in Shandong."
"Understood." The storyteller nodded, turned around and left without saying a word.
But when he walked out of the alley, he saw four people blocking him in front.
"How? Now we know that the so-called immortal family theory is probably fueled by someone, right?" The woman disguised as a man said to the three young people around her, "As for the theory of Master Fuyao, I'm afraid it is more false than true.
Maybe he’s just a liar! It’s hard to say whether there is such a person or not!”
Snapped.
Amidst the crisp sound, a bit of light appeared in the dark room.
But it was a piece of white jade, with no trace of blood in it, and the words "Those who soar upward ninety thousand miles" were engraved on it.
One hand held the white jade, and the owner of the hand slowly opened his eyes.
Suddenly, the hint shone brightly, and twelve stars loomed.
