Chapter 1,145 Heavenly Master is not important to me, but you are very important to me!
Starting from Detective Li Yuanfang, Chapter 1145: Heavenly Master is not important to me, but you are very important to me!
On the outskirts of the capital, within the dojo.
While the Taoist priests were busy, Tao Zhongwen sat upright and watched silently.
This is not the first time that he, the Heavenly Master of Shenxiao, has prayed for rain. He has already understood a series of actions such as setting up a platform, building a Jiao, recommending poems, and praying, so there is no need to worry too much.
Even if there are conflicts in private, once faced with such a major event, the Zhengyiyi will unanimously disclose it to the outside world. Therefore, Lan Daoxing, who was born in the third Fulu sect, also came to the scene as his deputy to help Tao Zhongwen complete the rain prayer.

Feeling that the young Taoist priest was constantly looking at him, Tao Zhongwen simply closed his eyes and rested, not taking this person seriously at all.
But not long after, I suddenly heard an exclamation sound in the distance, and then like a wave, it quickly moved from far to near, and finally reached the front: "Zhenren Li!" "Zhenren Li!"
When Lan Daoxing's slightly respectful voice sounded, Tao Zhongwen slowly opened his eyes, looked at the tall, upright, and outstanding figure strolling towards him, and said in an unpredictable tone: "How can Zhenren Li come here?"
What an unexpected surprise... you are so seasoned and polite!"
It's interesting to say that from the southeast, to the sea, and finally in the capital, the two sides fought openly and secretly, but they only really met twice.
The first time was in the Huangji Palace. The Taoist doctor showed up with the Dragon Girl. After receiving the imperial edict from the real person and the Dragon God, he left without any nostalgia, and then never set foot in the palace again. Of course not.
Maybe he had the slightest communication with Tao Zhongwen.
The second time is now.
In other words, the two sides have reached the point of life and death, but they have not officially said a word.
Whether it was to buy time for Tao Shien or out of his own curiosity, Tao Zhongwen had a desire to talk, so he stood up and saluted.
Li Yan looked at this old Taoist priest who was nearly eighty years old, still with fair hair and a childish face, and full of energy. What kind of soul was hidden under that skin? He was also very interested and said politely: "Master Tao, you are polite!"
The two looked at each other, their eyes warm and calm, but an invisible sense of pressure had spread.
"It's gone! It's gone!"
All the Taoist priests, including Lan Daoxing, stepped back to give these two people space to talk.
When the surroundings cleared, Tao Zhongwen was still the first to speak: "Zhenren Li has been taking care of His Excellency Dragon God recently. Is there any progress?"
Li Yan said: "Thanks to the seeds of Jiaolihuozao, the spiritual food cultivated meets the basic needs. I think it won't be long before I can become the god of rain who protects us."
When Tao Zhongwen heard about Jiaolihuozao, he was indifferent and said calmly: "So Master Li is here to learn Buddhist scriptures? The old Taoist does have some superficial experience in praying for rain. If the Dragon God is interested, he should not hesitate to teach him."
Li Yandao: "Being able to exchange knowledge with each other is a good opportunity for progress. Unfortunately, I'm afraid we won't have that opportunity..."
Tao Zhongwen said: "It seems that Mr. Li completely regards the old Taoist as his enemy. That is indeed a pity..."
Li Yan thought of what Wu Sheng's old mother said: "There is a being who said that the way of the heavenly master should be promoted as the orthodox religion of heaven and earth to eliminate the evil atmosphere in the world. I think it makes sense. What does Tao Zhenren think?"
Tao Zhongwen said: "This is empty talk, but it is completely unrealistic in today's world!"
Li Yan said: "I don't think this is empty talk."
There was firm confidence in his calm voice.
Saving the gods, reviving the Shinto, exorcising evil spirits and filth, and allowing the land of mountain gods to maintain their original appearance. This is not confidence. What is confidence?
Tao Zhongwen didn't think so: "Zhenren Li has indeed done a lot of things, but the recovery of Shinto is by no means that simple. The ones that have been cured so far are only insignificant little gods. If it really involves the key gods and continues to deepen, will the world be able to heal?"
Will there be drastic changes? Even the current stable life cannot be maintained. Have these Li Zhenren considered it? "
Li Yandao: "Of course I have considered it, but in everything you should not hide your illness and avoid medical treatment. This is true for doctors, and it is also true for doctors to heal heaven and earth."
Tao Zhongwen shook his head: "Your Excellency is too confident. Confucianism said that a gentleman has three fears: destiny, great men, and the words of saints. Small people do not know the destiny and are not afraid of them. They insult great men and insult the words of saints."
"Even scholars in the world understand that only the ignorant are fearless. The more we as practitioners understand the great ways of heaven and earth, the more we should be in awe and know that human power will eventually be limited and the way of heaven will eventually exist.
How can a certain principle be used to pursue one's own selfish desires and do it randomly?"
Li Yan also shook his head: "Although I have the hope of becoming an immortal and attaining Taoism, I don't attach much importance to the position of Heavenly Master. Healing the world and clearing away filth has nothing to do with Heavenly Master. Master Tao does not need to use himself to save others."
Tao Zhongwen was a little moved.
The conversation between the two just now, regardless of whether there was any aggression in the words, their demeanor and tone were very calm.
Not to mention being as elated as ordinary people, there is no obvious fluctuation, but it is not emotionless, and the joy and anger are invisible.
It was not until this moment that the Heavenly Master showed an obvious change in his expression for the first time.
It was not because he was ridiculed by the other party and judged a gentleman with a villain's heart, but because Tao Zhongwen believed that it was impossible for any cultivator in the Ming Dynasty to have no desire for the Celestial Master.
Even those practitioners who live in seclusion in the mountains and forests and know that they are not that good are still willing to help fellow practitioners become heavenly masters, because it is also of great benefit to their practice.
But listening to the Taoist doctor's words, he had a feeling that he really didn't care about the position of Heavenly Master.
That's not sincerity, it's more like it's natural to look down on the mere position of Heavenly Master after achieving higher achievements...
Is it incredible?
Not really.
There is a situation that can explain it.
"Sure enough, this person is just like me. He has wisdom from his previous life, and his status in his previous life must have been very high!"
Tao Zhongwen became more and more certain of his initial suspicion. On the one hand, he was surprised why Tao Shien hadn't taken action yet, but on the other hand, he also had some willingness to negotiate for peace.
He is well aware of the functional principle of the Heavenly Master's Orb. It is indeed an extremely vicious method, but it is not omnipotent.
If the Heavenly Master's Orb fails to win over the opponent, and there is another turmoil in the underworld, peace talks may still be necessary in the end, so we can lay the groundwork now: "Renren Li has lofty aspirations, and the old Taoist admires him. You and I are actually the same kind of people. The flood has washed away the Dragon King Temple."
, there was a misunderstanding before, and I hope you will forgive me for any offense I may have offended."
Feeling that his posture had been set too low, Tao Zhongwen simply said bluntly: "If Master Li needs it, he might as well speak up. As the leader of the Taoist sect, I can still make up for it!"
Li Yan looked at the Master Shenxiao, but he was a little disappointed. The enemy's situation was not as big as imagined. He still had the luck of peace talks. He thought that the next battle might be a chase and escape battle.
, can no longer compete heartily.
Seeing this man's silence, Tao Zhongwen was puzzled: "Does it mean that Mr. Li doesn't believe in the sincerity of the old man?"
Li Yan said: "I believe that Tao Zhenren wants to negotiate peace, and is more willing to let the Kangdao sect do it. After all, you are already alone. All your disciples have been wiped out, and you don't need so many cultivation resources."
These words were unpleasant to hear, but Tao Zhongwen didn't think anything of it. Instead, he admitted frankly: "It is indeed true. There is another reason why the old Taoist holds the position of Heavenly Master. If not, this Heavenly Master can be given to you."
Li Yan was also very calm: "I just said that Tianshi is not important to me, but without you, it is very important to me!"
Tao Zhongwen's eyes narrowed, and he felt a strong sense of vigilance in his heart. He frowned slightly and made a last effort: "The old Taoist and your Excellency don't have such a deep hatred, right?"
Li Yan also gave the final blow: "Private grudges, unless they involve relatives and friends, are irreversible. Otherwise, it is possible to laugh away the grudges. However, the grudge between you and me is not a private grudge, but a public grudge."
"Captain Lu has the heavy responsibility of being a royal guard. You colluded with the Japanese gods and inflicted harm without any scruples. Later, the conspiracy was exposed. You also bribed corrupt officials in the underworld with money to shorten their lifespan. All this is so insane. No wonder even the prince dares to do so.
Harm and imprisonment..."
"Since I know it, of course I will not allow you to collude with foreign enemies, harm your disciples, unscrupulous thieves, and steal the position of Heavenly Master!"
When he heard the word prince, Tao Zhongwen's expression completely changed.
After hearing the end, he immediately activated the divine restraint in Tao Shien's body and ordered him to take action: "Quickly use the orb to kill Li Shizhen... My son? My son? Where is he!!"
…
"Greetings to Your Majesty!"
In the Wanshou Palace, Jin Shen Jingshe saw the appearance of the Earth God. Jiajing was overjoyed and quickly asked: "Is Master Li going to start classes?"
The Earth God took out the wish-fulfilling orb and offered it carefully: "Zhenren Li has more important things to deal with. The little god, on the orders of the Dragon God, lends this treasure to your majesty!"
"borrow?"
Jiajing has always been given treasures and lent treasures, but this was the first time, and he immediately became interested. Then when he looked at the orb, which was filled with glowing light and auspiciousness, and all the phenomena appeared, he was even more curious: "What is this?"
"
The Earth God introduced: "This is the wish-fulfilling pearl of Guanyin Bodhisattva. It can be illuminated by the Bodhisattva's light. It can cure diseases, eliminate suffering, avoid disasters, enlighten the true nature, and help people achieve good fortune in times of adversity!"
Jiajing's eyes lit up immediately, and he didn't let Lu Fangdai take it away. He walked directly off the bed, came to the front, took it with both hands, and looked at it: "What a treasure!"
He does not believe in Buddhism, mainly because Buddhism has not given him any benefits. Taking care of his body has been a Taoist practice since he was young, so he worships Taoism and suppresses Buddhism.
If Buddhism can help him live forever and enjoy eternal bliss, he will immediately switch to Buddhism without any hesitation.
At this time, when I heard the orbs beside Guanyin Bodhisattva, I immediately felt a similar desire and looked over them over and over again.
The wish-fulfilling orb was unwilling to be touched by this palm, so it quickly flew into the air. The spiritual light circulated and shone forward, casting a picture in mid-air.
Jiajing was amazed again. When he saw what appeared on the screen, he suddenly froze, his eyes slowly widened, and he said in disbelief:
