Chapter 1036: Qingxiazi, merge your Danding Gate into my Shangqing Sect
On the top of the pure white Kunlun Mountains, a thin and withered old Taoist priest was holding a cup of hot tea in both hands, sitting cross-legged in the wind and snow. A small red clay stove was placed beside him, and there was a copper stove on it.
There was another futon in the snow in front of him, and an empty cup similar to the one in his hand was placed on this futon.
Tap tap tap...
Following the sound of slight footsteps, an old man in white clothes walked through the wind and snow and came to the old Taoist priest. He picked up the teacup on the futon without any surprise, sat down and said jokingly.
"Qingxiazi, did you and I choose a place like this when we met as old friends?"
"Suck!"
The old Taoist priest didn't even look at the other person. He took a calm sip from the teacup and then said calmly.
"This place is nice and spacious... When I start to use my hands for a while, I can use my full strength."
"Ha ha……"
After hearing what the old Taoist priest said, the old man in white suddenly laughed.
"This is really something that only you, Qingxiazi, can say, but you are worrying too much. How could you and I take action when we meet our old friends!"
As he spoke, the old man in white raised the white porcelain tea cup in his hand and stretched it out towards the other party.
"By the way, this tea in your hand is the clear tea that is particularly popular in Chang'an recently, right? Yuan Zhi has also collected some to honor me in the past few years, but it doesn't seem as fragrant as the one in your hand!"
"..."
The old Taoist priest still did not look at the other party, but pointed at a white porcelain teapot placed near the stove.
"Okay, you're welcome, old man!"
As he spoke, the old man in white stretched out his hand to pick up the white porcelain teapot, poured himself a full cup, then lowered his head to smell the refreshing aroma of tea in the cup, took a sip, and then smacked his lips.
"It's really good! After one sip, I feel my whole body becomes refreshed... Qingxiazi, this is also the filial piety of your good disciple Qingwei, right?"
Facing the question of the old man in white, the old Taoist priest remained silent and continued to drink from his cup.
"Suck!"
"hehe!"
The old man in white chuckled lightly, and did not continue to speak. Instead, he held a tea cup like the old Taoist priest, and drank the tea while looking at the wind and snow on the top of the Kunlun Mountains in front of him.
Next, the two of us drank in silence while I drank all the tea in the white porcelain teapot.
Just when the thin old Taoist priest raised his hand to pick up the copper kettle from the small red clay stove and began to pour water into the white porcelain teapot, the old man in white sitting on the other side finally couldn't help it and continued to speak.
.
"Qingxiazi, I really envy you now..."
The old man in white was holding a tea cup and looking at the other party with a feeling expression on his face.
"When you create your own sect, you don't have to think about the issues of balance and struggle within the sect; you're very powerful, and you don't have to worry about suppression from other Taoist sects; plus the successor is amazingly talented, and it's obvious that he's already as good as you were back then.
The momentum of 'among the mortal world, the best in the world'..."
"There is nothing hidden!"
After hearing the words of the old man in white, the old Taoist priest casually answered while holding the boiling hot water bottle and filling it with water.
"After the old Taoist reborn, Qingwei is now number one in the world!"
"Really? That's great..."
The old man in white smiled and continued without arguing with the old Taoist priest.
"Qingxiazi, do you still remember what I told you in the past?"
After hearing the words of the old man in white, the old Taoist priest turned his head and glanced at him, then put the copper kettle in his hand back on the stove, picked up the white porcelain teapot, poured himself another cup of tea, and took a slow sip.
.
"Suck... ha!"
After exhaling a sigh of satisfaction, the old Taoist priest answered slowly.
"What are you talking about? That nonsense about you wanting to unify the Taoist sect and establish a great religion?"
"How can that be considered nonsense?"
After hearing what the old Taoist priest said, the old man in white immediately retorted.
"Our Taoist sect is because there are many sects and they attack each other, like a pile of scattered sand. That's why we first let Confucianism gain power, deposed hundreds of sects with the help of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and then let Buddhism rise up with the trend of Wuhu and Huahua.
, if our sect is united..."
"Suck!"
The old Taoist priest stared straight at the wind and snow in front of him, and took a sip of tea with a blank expression.
"The secular dynasty has long been unable to accommodate my Taoist sect. When Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was re-employing Dong Zhongshu, why did he set up the Taishi Bureau and make agreements with all the immortals? You, Tao Zhenbai, are known as the Prime Minister of the Mountains. Don't you understand?"
"Old Taoists can naturally understand..."
The old man in white stretched out his hand to pick up the teapot, poured himself a cup of tea, and continued.
"Even the old Taoists know the situation of our Taoist sect in the secular dynasty after the two uprisings of Taiping Dao Zhang Jiao and Sun En. But as the saying goes, this moment is the same as that moment! After experiencing the Southern and Northern Dynasties, Buddhism is now very powerful.
It is difficult to control, so the secular dynasty will naturally look for other means to restrict or even replace him. This is why Li Yuan and Li Shimin, father and son, are sparing no effort to attack or even weaken Buddhism. This shows that this is the time for our Taoist sect to establish religion.
Great time!”
"hehe!"
When he heard the old man in white say that Li Yuan and Li Shimin, father and son, had attacked and weakened Buddhism, the old Taoist priest immediately let out an unknown laugh, but did not interrupt him.
"Qingxiazi, I still invite you very sincerely this time..."
The old man in white put down the tea cup in his hand and said to the old Taoist priest sincerely.
"Incorporate your Alchemy Sect into our Shangqing Sect. As long as you and I join forces to unify all Taoist sects and establish a great sect, it will be just around the corner. The day when our Taoist sect will be restored to glory is also close at hand."
"hehe!"
After hearing the words of the old man in white, the old Taoist priest chuckled again, and then said slowly.
"I'm sorry, I still said the same thing, I'm sorry, but I can't follow my orders!"
"Qingxiazi, you..."
The old man in white looked at the old Taoist priest helplessly and said again.
"Are you worried that your Danding Sect will be inferior to others after being merged into our Shangqing Sect? The old Taoist can promise you that on the day when the great sect is established, your disciple Qingwei will be the first Taoist leader of our Taoist sect.
Leader, this is all right!"
"A seasoned person never worries about these little things!"
After hearing the words of the old man in white, the old Taoist priest chuckled again.
"After all, even if all your disciples and grandchildren were put together, they are no match for Qingwei!"
"In that case..."
After hearing what the old Taoist priest said, the old man in white suddenly said with some doubts.
"Then why don't you agree?"
"The answer is simple!"
The old Taoist priest picked up the teacup, took another sip, and continued.
"The old Taoist is now a loyal believer of Taishang Laojun, so it is absolutely impossible for you, the Shangqing Sect, to imitate the third Buddha of Buddhism, create three Taoist supreme gods, and put these false gods above Laojun. Complicit!"
"What?"
Upon hearing the old Taoist priest's explanation, the old man in white was stunned.
"It's for this reason...wait a minute! When did you, Qingxiazi, become Laojun's loyal believer? Haven't you always believed in nothing but yourself? Otherwise, you wouldn't have created a big world in the outside world, the human body. A small world of Danding sect’s Qi training method!”
"That's because the old Taoist had little knowledge before!"
The old Taoist priest held the tea cup with a leisurely expression and took another sip.
"In recent years, the old Taoist has suddenly discovered that Taishang Laojun is the true immortal that our Taoist sect should respect. Not only does he have vast supernatural powers and boundless magical power... but the most important thing is that he seems to have returned to the world again after leaving this world. I turned my attention back to this world..."
"Qingxiazi!"
After hearing the old Taoist priest's leisurely words, the old man in white suddenly had a helpless expression on his face.
"The old Taoist is telling you serious things..."
"What the old Taoist said to you is also the most serious thing!"
The skinny old Taoist priest held the tea cup in his hand and silently raised his eyes to look in the direction of the sky.
"Tao Zhenbai, listen to the advice of the old Taoist. When you go back this time, you should take away all the gods you created, such as the Yuanshi Heavenly King, and return the respected status of Lao Jun to him, because he is really already here now. Set your sights on the world!"
"you……"
The old man in white nodded at the old Taoist priest with his hand, then stood up angrily, turned around and walked in the direction he came from. But after the old man took two steps, he turned around again and continued to speak to the old Taoist priest. .
"Qingxiazi, although you and I have been fighting for our whole lives, I still fully recognize your character. I hope you won't do it just because of these childish reasons... Oh!"
Having said this, the old man in white couldn't help but let out a long sigh.
"You should think about it carefully. After this Taoist sect's complete annihilation of Buddhism is over, the old Taoist will decide to start the initiative to establish a religion. I hope that you will not still stand in front of the old Taoist!"
With that said, the Taoist priest in white turned around, waved his hand towards the old Taoist priest with a desolate expression, and then left without looking back, disappearing into the wind and snow.
Behind him, the skinny old Taoist priest was holding a hot teacup, silently watching his disappearing figure, taking a sip of tea, and then heaved a sigh of relief.
"Tao Zhenbai, you are considered smart, but why have you never thought about why the old man insists on this childish reason?"
As he spoke, the old Taoist priest raised his head and looked into the depths of the sky, as if there were a pair of indifferent eyes looking down.
"The Taishang Laojun who left Hangu back then has really come back again now!"
