The middle-aged man on the other hand turned to look at his companion who was happily eating wine and food, and said loudly: "The current Shangzhou City is the city closest to Huashan Mountain.
Going further in, 'Huayin', 'Huazhou', 'Qingshan', 'Gaoling' and other places closer to Huashan have all disappeared, as if they had been wiped out from the earth——
Even with this Huashan Mountain, you and I can only climb high to see it from a distance. If we want to get closer to it and climb the mountain to explore, we will only go further and further away!
This is more like someone with great ability getting involved in the situation, changing the direction of the earth's veins, and setting up all kinds of strange escape methods to make people get involved in the situation and unable to get in!"
"yes……"
The lean and handsome middle-aged man nodded in agreement, took another chopstick of food, and put a sip of wine into his throat.
Seeing his appearance, the middle-aged man shook his head in frustration, sat back next to his companion, and said: "You and I are both officials of Sitiantai. We are currently working for the saint, monitoring the changes in the sky around Mount Hua, and detecting strange things."
Traces of evil... We have been waiting here for several days, but we still found the same thing. How can we communicate with the saint after we return?"
The handsome middle-aged man heard the words of the middle-aged man Fang. He kept holding the chopsticks in his hands and without even looking at his companion, he said directly: "I can't do the job - I have no choice but not to do it. Anyway, I resigned and returned to Zhongmiao."
If the sect leaves, the sect will always provide a place to stay and take care of two meals a day."
"This..." The middle-aged man's face froze, and then he said, "I'm not worried about food and clothing... Now that you and I are working for the court, we always have to make some achievements. In a situation like this
, neither up nor down is really not what I want.
In the past, it was because we were confined to the capital city of Chang'an, and even if we had ambitions, we could not put them into practice.
Now the saint has finally entrusted you and me with such an important task - if we can't make some achievements, wouldn't we have wasted this great opportunity?"
"Yes." The handsome middle-aged man nodded when he heard this, and finally put down the chopsticks in his hand.
Seeing his actions, the middle-aged man looked much more serious, thinking that his companion had already made a plan in his mind, and now he would state his plan to him - but his companion looked at him and said directly: "
The important task of monitoring the changes in Huashan is not only entrusted to you and me by the saints.
There are several principals among the bad guys, spies from the Lijing Sect, and many Taoist priests who were promoted by the saint, and they were all entrusted with such important tasks by the saint.
Along the way from Chang'an, I met several spies with so-called important responsibilities just like you and me.
Even in this private room on the top floor of Guiyun Tower, there are several Taoist priests with important responsibilities hiding. How about I go find them and everyone say hello to each other?
After all, we are all members of the Taoist sect, and if we all work together, we may be able to gain something unexpected."
"It's impossible for the saint to just entrust you and me, two people with no ability and no reputation, to handle such a big event." On the other hand, the middle-aged man still said to himself, "If we complete the errand assigned by the saint, wouldn't we be better for it?
Is it necessary to reuse it and gain fame?"
"That's the truth." Junyi, a middle-aged man, said, "Then we have stayed in Shangzhou for a few days, have we gained anything definite?"
When this matter was mentioned, the middle-aged man became very frustrated: "But he got nothing."
"Shang Bai, when you and I were in the sect, we were not taken seriously by the elders of the sect. We were just two marginal Taoist priests in the Zhongmiao Sect." The handsome middle-aged man stood up and looked at the distant scenery of Huashan Mountain looming in the clouds and mist. , said slowly, "The reason why I can serve as an official in Sitiantai now is because 'Senior Brother Shangxuan' who was originally in charge of Sitiantai followed the headmaster back to the mountain gate.
As a result, you and I were able to travel to the prosperous place of Chang'an and serve as officials in Sitiantai.
But why were the two of us selected by the headmaster and sent to the capital of Chang'an to act as the face of Zhongmiao Sect staying in Chang'an? Is it just because you and I, like the headmaster, are both Taoist priests of the "Shang" generation? ?Or do you think that the two of us can be compared with the former Senior Brother Shang Xuan in our cultivation and intensive research in the Tianxi Method?"
As soon as he heard that 'Shang Ren' wanted to compare his own practice and research on the Heavenly Breathing Method with that of senior brother Shang Xuan, Shang Bai, who had a square face and long arms, suddenly looked embarrassed and waved his hands repeatedly: "All the practices you and I have are really not enough to compare with that of senior brother Shang Xuan." If we compare it to Senior Brother Shang Xuan, it’s better not to mention it again..."
The handsome middle-aged Taoist priest 'Shang Ren' smiled and said: "Yes, we are not as good as Shang Xuan, Shang Chi, Shang Ming and other seniors. They either have powerful elders behind them, or they have very high talents. Soon, Then he will be able to stand out in the field of spiritual practice and then become famous.
Then why did the Headmaster leave these people alone and not let them take over Senior Brother Shang Xuan's position as the 'Si Tiantai Zheng' and move to Chang'an to serve as the face of Zhongmiao Sect, but chose the two of us?"
Shang Bai looked increasingly embarrassed and whispered: "It can't be because we are too mediocre?"
"When you are self-aware, you are indeed quite smart." Shang Ren's smile became even stronger, "As you said, Headmaster Shang Yong chose you and me precisely because we have mediocre cultivation, mediocre intelligence, and sophistication in the world. He is also quite mediocre, with almost no outstanding features, so he was sent to Chang'an."
Hearing Shang Ren's straightforward self-analysis, Shang Bai felt quite uncomfortable and a little aggrieved: "I still have some advantages, right?
When you say this, I feel like a waste.
The sect would never send two real losers to Chang'an. Wouldn't this insult the family tradition and damage the sect's prestige?!
——Furthermore, it’s okay to say that I am ordinary. That thief Shang Yong treats you as an ordinary person, but that’s because he is blind..."
Having said this, Shang Bai grinned again and said to Shang Ren: "If you are willing to compete with him in the practice of 'Inquiry into the Breath of Heaven', he must obediently give up the title of 'Taoist Lord of Louguan' - Shang Ren, you This is the biggest variable in our trip to Huashan. Whether we can stand out and become famous all over the world depends on you!"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Seeing his companions suddenly beaming with joy, Shang Ren sighed inwardly, and did not follow Shang Bai's words, but thought to himself: "Actually, you and I are two trash He was sent to Chang'an to take on important responsibilities because of changes within the sect.
Before you and I left for Chang'an, the sect set up a fasting ceremony to represent heaven and earth. Such fasting ceremonies involving performing rituals representing heaven and earth were all related to the change of sect leader, the establishment of the title of Louguan Taoist Master, etc.
Important events are related. However, after this fast, there has been no change within the sect - no change, but it is the biggest change."
Shang Ren looked at Shang Bai, who had been attracted by what he said.
It's just that Shang Bai looked confused and couldn't understand the meaning of Shang Ren's words.
Shang Ren sighed again in his heart and said slowly: "My practice of exploring the breath of heaven is indeed better than that of Headmaster Shang Yong - but the title of Taoist Master of Louguan is not in my pocket.
Senior brother, if it’s not as expected, someone has already received the title of Taoist Master of Zhi Lou Guan.
The fasting ceremony that represents heaven and earth was set up for the "Taoist Master of Louguan" - Shang Yong was never awarded the title of "Taoist Master of Louguan" after such a standard of fasting ceremony. This actually shows that,
The person who receives this honorary title is currently no longer in the Zhongmiao Sect!"
"So that's it!" Shang Bai looked stunned, but then he frowned again, and some things that were difficult to understand once again occupied his mind, "But this has nothing to do with what we are going to do now, and what the headmaster ordered you and me to come to Chang'an.
What does it have to do with being in charge of Si Tiantai?"
"Why……"
Shang Ren sighed directly this time, turned back to his seat, and immersed himself in the food and wine again.
Senior brother Shang Bai didn't say anything, but looked at him with bright eyes.
Under the bright and clear eyes of the other party, Shang Ren shook his head, stopped his wine glass, and finally said: "There was a bad commander in front of me who was fighting with the twenty-four sects of the Taoist sect. All twenty-four sects were defeated, and among them was my sect Shang Yong.
Headmaster.
At that time, only Maoshan Zonghan Guangzi defeated Bad Shuai with one move - in fact, I don't think this is necessarily true. When such news spread, it was somewhat cover-up.
The saint has probably come to his senses now.
After that, the sect held a fasting ceremony to pray to heaven, which seemed to be a secret memorial to heaven to establish the "Taoist Lord of Louguan".
In this sect's fasting and worshiping ceremony, each of the other twenty-three sects has grand rituals and fasting and worshiping ceremony.
At the same time, the leader of Hualong Sect, Wang Ju, died, and his disciples were all regarded as "bad people" under the instructions of various sects - this is not like what would happen if Li Hanguang won a great battle, but Li Hanguang took advantage of it.
The reputation, but the inner benefits, were gained by that bad handsome man!
And because you and I were too mediocre, the reason why we were sent to Chang'an by the master to take charge of Si Tiantai is probably related to this bad commander...
We, the Miao Sect, may have become the vassals of that bad commander!
The so-called Taoist Master of Lou Guan is probably him!
Because of all these reasons, it is absolutely impossible to hide it for too long, let alone hide it from the eyes of the saint in the palace. However, they have to hide it like this for some unknown reasons. Such actions will definitely arouse the suspicion of the saint, so - you
The two of us were pushed to Chang'an by the headmaster just to fool and prevaricate the saint. Even if the saint gets angry because of this and kills you and me, it will not cause much loss to the sect.
After all, the sect just threw out two trash!"
There are too many twists and turns, but fortunately Shang Ren is clear-cut and can finally explain it clearly to Shang Bai.
After hearing what Shang Ren said, Shang Bai suddenly took a breath of cold air and became confused: "Then, what should we do?
It’s better to go back to the sect, you can always take care of your food and shelter, and you won’t die because of this..."
"Where can I go back?
Now there is no way to turn back." Shang Ren glanced at him sideways and said slowly.
"What should we do?" Shang Bai's clear eyes widened.
"I inquired about Tianxi before, and I got a little bit of results." Shang Ren lowered his eyes and said thoughtfully, "They can vote for bad commanders, why can't we?
