The Shangqing sect leaders were surrounded by a sea of thunder and could not escape. Someone immediately begged for mercy:
"We don't mean to be enemies of the imperial court! It's just that the ancestor is pushing too hard. If we don't join with the ancestor, our orthodoxy will be severed!"
"They want to replace us and usurp our orthodoxy! We are not afraid of death, it is really..."
Ji Xiang clicked his finger, and a bolt of lightning suddenly hit him. The sect leader was struck by the lightning and fell to his knees on the spot. Even though he had resisted for a moment, his vitality was severely damaged!
"Master Ji! Please spare my life."
The sect leader vomited blood, looked disgraced, and begged for mercy. Ji Xiang's tone was calm: "I have heard similar words from the eight sect leaders. Don't say that you are not afraid of death, and don't say that you are afraid of the orthodoxy being replaced. Your orthodoxy is the same."
All the methods they teach in Maoshan are derived from the ancient Shangqing sect, unless you yourself say that your own methods have nothing to do with Shangqing."
"Fifteenth Sect Master, you are from the Tianxin sect, can you tell me?"
Ji Xiang looked at the fifteenth sect leader. The latter's complexion changed and he quickly said: "Although he is from the Tianxin sect, he also went to Maoshan to practice the Shangqing Heart Sutra. It can't be said that it has nothing to do with it..."
Ji Xiang nodded: "That's it. The fifteen sect leaders of the Tianxin Sect have all expressed their stance. What else do you have to say?"
For a moment, the fifteen sect leaders looked embarrassed, and the surrounding sect leaders were also a little resentful.
Ji Xiang waved his hand. This action frightened the sect leaders so much that they picked up the magic formulas and tried to resist. However, Ji Xiang was stunned and sneered:
"I don't want to get into any more trouble with you. Now I just want to ask you something."
"Does Biyou Palace have anything to do with your Shangqing secretly?"
All the sect leaders shook their heads, and one sect leader explained: "Although the ancestors asked us to stand with them, we really don't know anything about Biyou Palace. We don't know what you want to ask."
"Whatever the mountain master says, that's what it is. The ancestors didn't tell us anything else about Biyou Palace."
The other sect leaders nodded one after another, and the place was noisy for a while. They were all trying to excuse themselves and tried their best to prove that they did not know any new information about Biyou Palace.
"It seems that you have not been taken as a confidant by your ancestor!"
Ji Xiang sneered, and all the sect leaders lowered their heads: "We are all forced, how can we be sincere?"
"Our strength will not be of use to the ancestors. Naturally, they will not tell us important news."
Ji Xiang was a little impatient: "Since you don't know, forget it. Where is the former Maoshan Daozi? I will take him away."
"this!"
At this time, the sect leaders gave up a little and looked at each other with unspeakable expressions. Ji Xiang narrowed his eyes and thought, and the sea of thunder around him started boiling and rolling!
The sect leaders hurriedly explained together, talking endlessly. Ji Xiang yelled angrily, and everything fell silent.
"Old Fifteen, tell me!"
Ji Xiang called his name, and the fifteen sect leaders could only secretly say that they were unlucky, but they did not dare to disobey, so they had to bite the bullet and said:
"Taozi is related to our Maoshan Taoism. If the mountain master is not here, I will offend the founder, so I can't hand over Taozi to you anymore..."
Ji Xiang laughed: "I just heard you say that you are afraid of the Patriarch but not the court. It turns out it is true."
The faces of the sect leaders suddenly changed, they were panicked, and they immediately pushed out the person who had just said this!
"It was Lao Shiba who said it, not us!"
"The Taoist Master is aware of this, and I am so loyal that I dare not betray the imperial court!"
The Eighteenth Sect Leader looked as ugly as if he had eaten a dead fly. Ji Xiang didn't care: "I don't care who you said it. When he said it, you didn't object too much."
"Not objecting is acquiescing."
At this time, the sect leaders collectively froze.
Ji Xiang's expression also changed all of a sudden!
"So you are really afraid of the Patriarch but not me? How ridiculous! The county magistrate might as well take charge now. I am right in front of you. You will all die with one move. Your Patriarch has to cross two barriers to hunt you down.
Can’t tell which one is more important?”
"Say no more."
Ji Xiang's tone was stern at first, then turned gentle:
"Maoshan Taozi is the key to your ancestor's descent. The mountain master disappears, leaving only this Taozi. You give the Taozi to me. Your ancestor will be looking for me when the time comes. It has nothing to do with you. Are you not afraid that your ancestor will find you?
Isn't it troublesome? Isn't that a good thing if you can leave the trouble to me now?"
"I was trying to help you, but I didn't expect you to be so shameless!"
"I am easy to talk to, as long as I don't get angry."
With a combination of threats and temptations, the clan leaders were already facing a dilemma. When they heard what Ji Xiang said, some people began to nod in agreement and whisper, saying that they might as well just follow Ji Xiang's wishes and leave the secrets to Ji Xiang.
Already.
"The Taoist Master is right. Why should we leave the Taoist Master here? Otherwise, the Patriarch will descend and cause trouble for us again, and may even endanger his life. Why take this risk?"
"That's right. The union of the Supreme Purity does not need a Taoist disciple to maintain it. Now is a tense moment. It is completely reasonable to give up a Taoist disciple in exchange for the continuation of our Taoist lineage."
More and more people think that the present is more important, and with the Taoism gone and the Kunlun Cave destroyed, the Zhuhuo Palace has no means of descending, and they can escape calmly. The Shangqing family has a great cause, and even the big tree in Maoshan
Even if it falls, the Shangqing Sect’s signboard cannot fall down either.
The sect leaders were willing to hand over Dao Zi to Ji Xiang, but Ji Xiang asked the fifteen sect leaders to bring him. Soon Dao Zi was brought, but the little Taoist boy looked much more haggard than last time.
"I've met Taoist Ji."
Maoshan Daozi's mental state was not very good, so Ji Xiang asked directly:
"Do you know the relationship between Biyou Palace and your Shangqing Sect?"
Daozi was silent for a moment, then nodded slightly.
Now even the sect leaders were confused, but this melon was their own, so it was not easy to ask at this time, and sometimes it was hard to be confused.
"Where Biyou Palace is located, can you show me the way?"
Maoshan Daozi nodded slightly again, but then shook his head slightly:
"I can show you the way, but the place where Biyou Palace is located is extremely hidden. Only people in Xia Mao Mountain know where it is. I know an important place in Xia Mao Mountain that I can go with you."
He turned back to look at the sect leaders. At this time, many of the sect leaders looked a little ugly, but some of them said hypocritically:
"Today Daozi leaves with the Taoist master. In the future, he no longer has to worry about being blamed by his ancestor, and he has a bright future."
"Today, we inherit the merits of Daozi, and on the day when the Qing Dynasty is revived, we respectfully welcome Daozi back. At that time, the Taoist master will definitely perform meritorious deeds for Daozi, report to the court, and reward him with famous titles, which will bring glory to the Taoist lineage."
"I'll wait and see you off."
Ji Xiang took him away, carrying the coffin with one hand and catching the person with the other. The thunder and lightning around him gradually dispersed, and Ji Xiang flew away in the clouds and mist, leaving only faces that were thankful that he had survived the disaster.
"It's really interesting. You can't stay or go according to your own will. I asked them to hand you over, and they handed you over. How do you feel now?"
Ji Xiang's tone was a bit mocking, like those villains who have done evil things.
Maoshan Daozi said calmly:
"When I enter the door of spiritual practice, I am like a duckweed without roots, and I have been drifting for a long time."
"It's just falling along the water, walking along the water, stopping at a certain place, slowing down at a certain place."
Ji Xiang's eyes moved slightly, and he was about to say something, when suddenly the inner scene magic card reacted!
[The nature of Tao: It exists in the true extreme and encompasses all things. All sentient beings are not the Tao, but they can cultivate and attain the Tao. The Tao is not all living beings, and they can cultivate according to the needs of all living beings.]
[People with strong Taoism are more likely to attain Taoism and become immortals. When it comes to the use of various spells, the emphasis is on "forgetting" rather than "remembering", so that they can be used naturally and with better results. 】
[In normal practice, the higher the level of cultivation, the lower the Tao-nature will be, and the longer the retreat time will be. This is because practice must produce words, and the words must become scriptures, while Tao-nature is a spontaneous realization rather than a
Comprehension of scriptures and classics.]
[The words in scriptures and books, as well as the nature of heaven and earth itself, may be tampered with, but the nature of Taoism remains unchanged. 】
[The ancient immortals of the Lingbao Sect have narrated this, and pointed out that by cultivating the mind, you can return to the quiet and natural nature, that is, restore your own Taoism, but you must cut off your seven emotions and six desires to return to the realm of simplicity and innocence, and due to cultivation
What is needed to uphold the spirit of the mind is scriptures and classics, so while the Taoist nature is restored, it will also gradually be lost.]
[The Lingbao Sect is very secretive about the existence of Taoism and the main methods of practice, and hardly talks to outsiders. 】
[Those who are close to the Tao are enlightened: If you are close to someone who possesses the Tao nature, you can be inspired, which is called "Tao breaking" or "enlightenment" or "sincerity". There is a certain chance to restore and increase your lost Tao nature. 】
[Use Tongtian Mingyan to peel off his body and soul, or refine this person into elixir, which can greatly increase his Taoism.]
"Tao Xing...!"
This harvest was truly an unexpected surprise. Ji Xiang did not expect to encounter such a character with a special entry. This was like drawing a golden legend by drawing a card.
No wonder the founders of the Qing Dynasty valued this boy.
Maybe they don't know the existence of Taoism, and Shangqing and Lingbao are not from the same family, but this kid has the characteristics of enlightenment, which is enough to make him a being like Taozi.
At a young age, not very old, but with a lot of experience.
Ji Xiang thought about it and realized that he was actually over a hundred years old. Although when he was bragging, he lied about being a thousand years old...
As for the last entry, Ji Xiang simply skipped it.
If you want to kill or eat a person with a talent when you see him, then you are no different from those people in Satoyama River.
Above the clouds and mist, Ji Xiang asked Daozi to tell in detail many things that had happened before, including the relationship between Biyou Palace and Shangqing. After listening, Ji Xiang also sighed deeply:
"It's not beyond my guess. The immortals in Lishanhe are really good at looking for trouble. But how do you know this? Do those old immortals regard you as their confidant?"
Maoshan Daozi explained: "Although I fainted before, it was because the immortals descended to borrow my body and hide my soul. The person who was about to descend was the third ancestor, and he had talked with the mountain master before, and I heard all these voices.
.”
"Actually, I still need to thank the Taoist Master. If it weren't for the Lady Hou who swore not to enter the Shangqing Dynasty, I wouldn't have had so much time to recover my consciousness, and the third ancestor wouldn't have been busy with the new Taoism.
Put me aside."
"After the third ancestor's virtual form disappeared, I woke up. It was Taoist Master who saved my life."
Ji Xiang said disdainfully: "Your ancestors are very clever. In order to clear up the ancestral scriptures, you can even abandon the traditions of mountains and rivers, or even break them into pieces and start over! If I get your ancestral scriptures, what do you think?
, can I be regarded as your true ancestor?"
Maoshan Daozi showed a weak smile: "If you obtain the Shangqing Ancestor Sutra and practice it, then you will naturally be the ancestor of the Shangqing."
"But when the ancestral scripture will be born and where it will be, these are things that only the ancestors know. We, the mountain and river monks, cannot know, and they will not let us know."
The clouds and mists were rolling, and Ji Xiang's soaring clouds and mist technique was too slow. At this time, birds were flying in the sky, looking strangely at Ji Xiang, the man walking on the clouds and mists. However, Maoshan Daozi saw this scene and sighed:
"Wander the North Sea in the morning and the sky is green at dusk, and eat in the morning under the dew and the clouds are shining."
His haggard face regained some color, and his Taoism gradually restored the vitality in his body, and even affected Ji Xiang.
Ji Xiang felt a flash of inspiration in his mind, and the true meaning of the three religions actually started to work automatically, and an improved method for the art of Soaring into the Clouds and Riding the Mist emerged.
This surprised Ji Xiang!
"This is enlightenment!"
"Is this the nature of Taoism?"
Ji Xiang felt that he had found a treasure now!
Originally, I just picked Maoshan Daozi to be a tour guide, but I didn’t expect that this kid’s talent is so incredible!
Just a thought-provoking insight gave Ji Xiang some inspiration. Ji Xiang was amazed by this talent and felt that this kid should not return to Shangqing.
Ji Xiang followed the improvement method that had just emerged, and used the sea of clouds in the sky to integrate his own clouds and mist into it. He suddenly swayed into the wind. The sea of clouds rolled like big waves, and the wind blew like a sail in the sea. In the blink of an eye, the wind and clouds changed, and he had arrived at a sea.
city.
"Go down to Maoshan and out of the seventy-two sects, six of them are gathered here."
Ji Xiang cast his magical eye. Although this magical eye was a low-level spell derived temporarily, the most basic divine light and demonic energy could still be seen without covering it up or changing it.
"What kind of city is this? Why do I feel a little strange that this is not a city on earth?"
"The divine light is floating inside, and it doesn't look like a place where evil magic gathers. Of course, my Dharma Eyes are not very useful. Can you give me an explanation?"
Maoshan Daozi said: "The six major sects from Xia Maoshan are here. They did not participate in the murderous activities in Biyou Palace, but the mountain owner once speculated that there must be undercurrents surging underneath the seemingly calm water."
"I once heard that there was a great epidemic in the city where the six major sects were located, and many people died. However, not many people mentioned the epidemic afterwards, and some people had even never heard of it."
Ji Xiang looked at this strange big city. The Taoist temples of the six sects are all in the city. The Dharma religion is different from Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism. They are sects developed from the people. They have their own unique magic and live among the people.
"To cover up the disappearance of the population, the pandemic is indeed a very good reason."
