Li Guan followed them to the other courtyards belonging to the Tao of Immortality. On the way there, Li Guan learned that these courtyards were built by the resources of various sects.
Because the time for discussion at each Zhaijiao meeting is not short, there must be a place to stay.
It can be considered that every Taoist sect has a place in Kunlun. Even the weakest Taoist sect will have its own other courtyard.
It’s just that the materials used and specifications are slightly different.
"Every time there is a feast here, someone will clean it, and the daily necessities are already prepared. And if someone needs to do anything, they only need to ring the bell."
In front of the door, Fang Jue and Li Guan introduced.
This Hall of Eternal Life is a Taoist temple, located in a very large area. Although it looks a bit old, it does not have any decay. Instead, it has a sense of history.
"I heard that this plaque with the word 'immortality' written on it was forged by the Taoist master of the previous generation using a relatively thick section of the longevity tree in the sect. It is extremely hard and emits a strange fragrance.
I only heard that it was the Tao Master of the previous generation who gave the Tao of Immortality face."
Hearing this, Li Guan couldn't help but look weird. According to his understanding, the current longevity tree should be the remains of the ancestor, the immortal, or the ancestor in some special state.
Based on the Patriarch's understanding and perception of extending lifespan, there is really no guarantee whether the Patriarch has passed away or not.
So when the previous Taoist master used the branches of the longevity tree to make this plaque, isn't it the same as cutting a piece of flesh from the ancestor's body?
"Speaking of which, the previous Taoist masters had really weird ideas..."
"Well, it is true. Of course, it is because of him that Changsheng Dao has completely secured its position as the number one in Taizhou, and even laid the foundation for the development of the sect.
I just listened to what my master said. What the Taoist likes most is to pretend to be an outer disciple and then invest in the favored disciples of heaven.
Many supreme elders have received his favor."
Fang Jue's words made Li Guan a little suspicious. Is this Patriarch sure he is not a time traveler?
But soon Li Guan realized another possibility, that he could find a favored person to invest...
Li Guan suddenly thought of the Supreme Tao Seed in his body. Could it be that this thing was left behind by the Tao Master of the previous generation? That’s why he could see who is the proud son of heaven...
Fang Jue took out a drawing, an aerial view of the Palace of Eternal Life, which explained the location of the rooms and the functions of some places. In fact, it was a bit like the layout of the other courtyard in Tianwaitian.
It's just that the size is a bit smaller.
"Let's allocate rooms first, this time it will work out.
Originally, the other three lineages like Zhao Zilong and others could also come, but I don't know why Elder Tiangang didn't let them come.
Therefore, there are a lot of free rooms, and it is enough for one person to live in a courtyard.
As for the elders and the others, it may take some time for them to discuss it. They discussed it for seven days last time, not to mention that there are so many big things happening now.
If it takes a long time, it might take a month."
"That long?"
Li Guan raised his eyebrows. He originally thought that this time it was just a simple written test and it was almost over. Why did the front axle need to be discussed for so long now? As for preventing Zhang Tianbang, Yu Le and the others from coming, I am afraid it was to prevent the situation from getting out of control.
Can't protect them.
After all, the sect has to do a lot of things during the fasting ceremony this time, and there is no guarantee that the situation will not get out of control.
Fang Jue explained: "Zhai Jiao is just a term, and there are many kinds of Zhai Jiao. For example, in some cities, people from different gates are invited to make Jiao, such as Ping An Jiao to pray for peace and Feng Yu Jiao to call for wind and rain. In fact, they are all prayers.
禳.
And because this Zhaijiao is facing all Taoist sects, anyone who can make it will come.
Therefore, Zhai Jiao is naturally the highest-level Luotian Jiao.
One thousand two hundred Taoist statues will be invited to be worshiped. First, the Taoist sect has a long history and will continue to flourish.
The second is to hope that Taoism will prosper day by day."
Li Guan said that he understood. It turned out to be not a simple competition.
Could this kind of fasting ceremony actually be a kind of ritual, like the previous ritual of cutting meat and feeding it to the eagles, or the one where the Buddha mother gave birth to a son, etc.?
It’s just that this ritual is a bit larger.
"Since it's just a prayer, a simple competition is just to let other sects see how talented their disciples are? If there is no benefit at all, I'm afraid some sects won't travel thousands of miles to come here."
At this time, Fang Jue said mysteriously: "Since it is a prayer, it means that it is a ceremony. Since it is a ceremony, there are usually standing requirements.
And the standing position is determined through competition."
"Is this position particular?"
When Li Guan heard this, he seemed to understand something.
"Yeah. Although it seems to have no real benefits, it often represents the status of your Dharma lineage during this period before the next fast.
And I heard that there is something mysterious and mysterious, that is, this position will affect the fate of the entire sect in the future. I don't know whether this statement is true or false.
But I saw from the sect’s ancient books that the person who left this statement was the Taoist master of the previous generation.”
"okay I know."
If it was left by that Taoist master, this statement should be somewhat correct.
Assume that the Taoist Master once mastered the Supreme Tao Seed.
Taishang Daozhong can only see the luck of the genius. Almost everyone here has luck on their heads, it's just a matter of quantity.
Could it be that the Taoist master inferred it through the increase or decrease in the luck of each genius?
If this is the case, Li Guan will naturally win the first place.
What he likes most is luck.
After learning about Zhai Jiao, Li Guan's eyes fell on the aerial view of this Taoist temple.
"Then you can choose. I can do whatever I want." Li Guancheng just finished speaking. Fang Jue and Chao Tianque shook their heads and said, "Senior brother, you should choose first."
After the two of them finished speaking, they were both stunned. They looked at each other and could tell what the other's purpose was.
"Then let me choose first..."
Li Guan randomly chose a courtyard near the corner, which happened to be at the far edge. He didn't like to socialize much to avoid affecting him when Fang Jue and the others went out.
The next moment, Chao Tianque and Fang Jue pointed to the yard next to Li Guan and said in unison: "Then I want this one."
"Fang Jue, I am a senior brother. Don't you want to listen to my senior brother?"
"Chaotianque, if you look at the time when I became a disciple of Yuanshi, I am the senior brother. Moreover, the sect also has regulations. Senior brother does not have any privileges. Instead, I have to use this to regulate myself and lead my junior brothers."
Fang said not to be outdone.
The two refused to give in to each other and said to Tianque: "Then let's have a fight and follow the rules. Whoever wins can live in this courtyard."
"Okay, it just so happened that we said we were going to have a fight last time, but unfortunately it didn't happen."
Fang Jue soared into the sky, followed by Chaotian Que.
Li Guan was stunned for a moment, why did they suddenly start fighting again? Yao Zhou said helplessly: "This is the rule here. If everyone is reasonable and can't argue, then just fight.
The fists speak.”
"So direct?"
"Well, although we are all cultivators, we are also warriors. When it is time to take action, we will naturally take action." Yao Zhou continued to explain in a low voice: "Originally, this was supposed to be for the public, but I don't know why the two senior brothers started to fight.
…”
"Let's go take a look first."
Li Guan also rose into the sky and rushed towards Fang Jue and Chaotian Que. Yao Zhou and the others had no choice but to follow closely. Why did they do it to protect the entire courtyard?
Fang Jue and Chaotian Que had already fought on the edge of Kunlun at this time. By the time Li Guan and others rushed over, people were already watching around them.
Among the onlookers were people who were close to the Tao of Immortality. The two women quickly came to Yao Zhou and others, and found Li Guan clasping his fists and saluting: "I have met Taoist priests."
Li Dian nodded, and Yao Zhou next to him introduced: "Brother, these are the two Taoists from Qingzhou Taiyi Sect, Zhong Lingxiu and Yun Yun. Taiyi Sect is also on good terms with our sect. Their sect leader and senior brother and master
Elder Qiu Qiu is also a close friend."
"I've met Fellow Daoist Zhong and Fellow Daoist Yun."
That was his master's good friend. Li Guan was relatively close to this kind of relationship, so he naturally cupped his fists and saluted.
"You're welcome, Daozi. Yao Zhou, why did your two senior brothers suddenly start fighting each other?" One of the women asked. This woman has a delicate face and skin as white as snow. The most special thing is that there is a mole next to the corner of her eye.
This is Zhong Lingxiu.
"Well...the two senior brothers came back from outside some time ago and have not yet competed. They said it would be a good time to compete this time."
Yao Zhou hesitated for a moment. He couldn't say that the two senior brothers decided to fight over the yard next to senior brother Li Guan, and indeed they planned to compete.
This is not wrong either.
"I see, but your senior brother Fang has become very famous recently. Although he is not the number one genius, he was strategizing in the court. He concealed his identity very well and even took the position of minister.
I heard that he was married to a certain princess. After his identity was exposed, although he was dismissed from his position as minister, it was heard that he still gave advice to Emperor Qi from time to time.
Even when the Supreme Master Rendao Kedao, who was known as the first genius, came to Beijing, he fought against the Supreme Master and escaped without a trace.
Can Chaotian Que beat him?"
Zhong Lingxiu watched the two phantoms colliding in the field, chatting while watching.
Although Taiyi Sect has good relations with Changsheng Dao, after all, they have never really competed with Fang Jue and Chaotian Que, but Fang Jue's reputation outside is indeed much better than Chaotian Que.
Chaotianque didn't have the experience of fighting against Dao Kedao, but Fang Jue did.
To evaluate a person, you will know who his enemy is. Since Dao Kedao's travels, many talented people who came here to challenge him have never failed.
Without exception, they are all geniuses who are in the life-threatening realm, and there are even geniuses from Taoist sects who are just one step away from the martial arts realm.
He was still defeated by Dao Kedao, and Dao Kedao only had four fatal realms.
Fang Jue was able to escape completely in the hands of Dao Kedao. Although he said he was defeated, he was not defeated.
This is enough to illustrate Fang Jue's strength.
"That's not necessarily..."
Yao Zhou shook her head. Although she had never seen Chaotianque and Fang Jue fight, she had only seen their performance in the Yuanshi Trial. They should be similar.
It was just a punch from Senior Brother Li.
"Speaking of which, I'm afraid Daozi will have to face Dao Kedao this time. How about I tell you about his methods? It can be regarded as knowing yourself and the enemy, and you will never be in danger of a hundred battles."
Zhong Lingxiu seemed to be interested in Li Guanman, mainly because she had just heard about Li Guan for the first time not long ago. He had somehow obtained the inheritance of Yuanshi Tao and became the successor of Yuanshi.
It is even said that his ancestor was a powerful person of Yuanshi Dao, which means that his own identity is comparable to a branch.
In addition, I obtained the Yuanshi Sutra.
Under the two layers of entanglement, Li Guan's identity became more and more mysterious. Many sects searched for Li Guan's past deeds and found that most of them happened in Taizhou, and only one happened in Yongzhou.
That is the Trial Conference, and I heard that you can fight against the deadly realm at that time.
Many people sneered when they heard it, even if it was the Dongzhen Realm Fighting Death Realm, they had never tried it.
And most of them happened in Taizhou, and the details of many things were covered up by Taizhou Daomen, and they only knew some of the situation from some side details.
"Is it true?"
Li Guan touched his chin and weighed the name. It was really a big name.
Taken from the Tao Te Ching, "The Tao can be Tao, but it is not Tao."
"Forget it, let's face it directly when the time comes. Sometimes we will be confused by the information.
However, Senior Brother Fang can escape from his grasp, so he shouldn't be too strong." Li Guan shook his head and said.
At present, it seems that Dao Kedao is not that strong. Now that he knows it, there is no sense of mystery anymore. He is quite looking forward to seeing his opponent Dao Kedao this time.
I hope it can give him a different perception. Now the three incarnations in his castle space are still cultivating, plus himself.
It looked like he was watching a show, but in fact he was getting stronger every moment.
When Zhong Lingxiu heard Li Guan's words, she couldn't help but look at Yao Zhou, her eyes full of questions, as if she was asking, are your Daozi so arrogant?
Don't even listen to the information.
Yao Zhou actually thought that maybe Senior Brother Li heard that Senior Brother Fang was able to retreat completely under that terrible hand, so he thought it was useless.
He remembered that Senior Brother Fang's trump card was dealt with in front of Senior Brother Li with one punch.
If you think about it this way, this Dao Ke Dao doesn't seem to be that strong.
Yao Zhou shrugged her shoulders, saying that she didn't know yet, but it should be what she thought.
"Huh, the information is confusing. Senior Brother Dao's strength is hard to achieve. What do you want to do to confuse you?
Before Senior Brother Dao received the inheritance from the Supreme Being, he was a well-known figure in the world and had wiped out countless demon sects.
I heard that you are also a descendant of Yuanshi, but why have I never heard of your name? The Daozi of the Yuanshi lineage is actually still an unknown person.
"
It seemed that Li Guan's words attracted some people's attention, and some couldn't help but ridicule.
"That's a disciple of Xuanduguan from Taishang Dharma lineage, called Miao Fazi. I heard that he is a fanatical fan of Dao Kedao. He was defeated by Dao Kedao before.
He began to spread the power of Dao Kedao everywhere. It can be said that Dao Kedao became known, and he had part of the credit.
Moreover, his common name is Tang, and he was originally from the Tang family in the capital city. Now the Tang family controls most of the state, and is also one of the wings of Xuandu Temple." Luo Qingyu explained at the side.
They have all traveled abroad, and the combined knowledge of most of them is enough for Li Guan to understand the rest.
"It turns out he's just a flatterer." Li Guan took one look and lost interest. He might not be able to handle even half of this wonderful trick, so he wasn't interested in understanding it.
