Chapter Eleven: On the Tao and on the Sword

Neither Wu Jie nor Bai Jin are the kind of talented people who also practice music, chess, calligraphy and painting in addition to practicing Taoism, but living a long life is an advantage. In addition to being good at swordsmanship, Bai Jin also knows some music and music, and goes to the mortal world to hide his cultivation.

If so, there is no problem pretending to be a first-class musician; while Wu Jie has some research on painting and calligraphy, and is quite good at singing - provided that he takes a little time to recall, because he is better at singing, only before time travel

Those popular songs I learned.

But before they started performing, Yang Ziqi, who had been sitting there quietly, seemingly in a daze, spoke.

"We've been making so much noise now, it's time to start getting down to business, right?"

His voice was not loud, but it carried a strange coercion, which made everyone present feel shocked. All kinds of noises, all kinds of unintentional and intentional noises, stopped for a while.

The huge venue was completely silent, as if you could hear a pin drop clearly.

Yang Ziqi stood up and glanced at the entire venue. He frowned, his expression full of displeasure: "It is appropriate to drink and celebrate, and it is okay to make noises, but you must be measured when making troubles."

As he spoke, his eyes fell on a very unremarkable-looking Yang Shen Zhenxian.

"Everyone who comes is a guest. Even if someone from the Shenmen hides their cultivation and pretends to be a true immortal from the Taoist sect, it is not a big deal. After all, no one stipulates that people from the Shenmen cannot come to congratulate you." There was mockery in his eyes.

His expression seemed to be very disdainful, "But after practicing for so many years, you end up using this kind of little trick that doesn't make sense. Don't you feel embarrassed?"

Everyone was silent, and all eyes looked at the true immortal.

Under the gaze of everyone, the True Immortal laughed loudly, stood up, waved his sleeves freely, and completely changed his appearance. The aura on his body also suddenly increased. In the blink of an eye, he changed from the Taoist Yang God True Immortal to

Dongxu Zhenjun of Shenmen.

"Colorful sleeves of the Hehuan Sect, pay homage to the ancestor of Huang Ting." As he said this, the True Lord of Shenmen bowed down to Yang Ziqi with a very respectful attitude.

The scene of the Taoist True Immortal turning into the Shenmen True Lord was shocking enough, but compared with the words he said, that small change was nothing. The moment he said those words, the whole audience was stunned.

Everyone turned to look at Yang Ziqi. Some of them even heard the sound of their joints breaking in their necks because they turned their heads too fast.

Being looked at by countless eyes, Yang Ziqi seemed a little uncomfortable and hurriedly explained: "My ancestor only occasionally used his spiritual thoughts to express a few words through my mouth. He didn't come... at least not now.

Come, he has great powers, I don’t know when he will appear..."

The amount of information contained in these words was so large that everyone was stunned, even Bai Jin and Wu Jie were no exception.

They didn't understand before that why a mere Yang Shen Zhenxian was seated at the same level as them and above all other Taoist sects. Now it seems that Zhenjun Daokong specially told this matter at that time, which obviously had a profound meaning.

Reminiscent of the fact that Zhenjun Daokong listened to the sermon under Taishang Taoist Ancestor, and Shenjun Huangting had a close relationship with Taishang Taoist Ancestor in the past...I am afraid that Zhenjun Daokong knows Yang Ziqi's true identity.

Wu Jie was not very familiar with the ancient history of the Taoist sect, but Bai Jin knew it very well - in the past, the Taoist sect originally had many branches, and each branch had its God of Creation. Among them, the Zhengyiyi was the most powerful and had the greatest influence. Later, Taishang was born,

He concluded that the various factions

Kung Fu, an original concept with "inaction" as its core, and a nine-turn method that contains the path to immortality for three thousand years, made the Taishang line's influence continue to strengthen, and eventually overwhelmed all other branches of the Taoist sect, and was even mentioned in later generations.

Taoism, what comes to mind is Taishang Taozu.

As for Divine Lord Huang Ting, he was a disciple of the Zhengdao Ancestor, and he was older than the two Divine Lords Qingjiao and Chisong. Even the Supreme Taoist Patriarch had to address him as "Brother Tao" when they met.

He is the inheritor of the "Youwei" way. In the past, he discussed the Tao with the Supreme Lord three times - but ended up not talking about it because it hurt his feelings to talk about it.

In short, since then, Shenjun Huangting has disbanded his sect and wandered across the world. He vowed to walk the path to the eternal realm and prove that the Taoism of the Zhengyi lineage is not bad, but he is just clumsy.

Later, Taishang united with the Tao, Shenmen conquered the Tao, and the Taoist sect withered. Although Shenjun Huangting also appeared during the battle of Shenmen's Taoism, and even fought against Shenmen Weiwo Divine Lord, he had no intention of reviving the Taoist sect.

, still wandering around the world without knowing where to go.

Over the years, almost no one has seen him, but they did not expect that this Yang Ziqi was not an ordinary disciple of his, but his descendants, the one who placed his spiritual thoughts on him.

Although Yang Ziqi seems a little at a loss now and does not look as majestic as his predecessors. But compared with his previous speech, his embarrassed look at this moment makes people have to doubt that the person who spoke before was not him, but Huang.

A ray of divine thought from Lord Ting Shen.

Huangting Shenjun?

Thinking that everyone might have made a fuss in front of the God of Creation just now, everyone's hands and feet became weak. More than one person couldn't help but tremble, and some even turned pale with fear.

Some of their ideas must not be hidden from the Lord Huang Ting. If the Lord Huang Ting is dissatisfied with them because of this,

Wu Jie's eyes swept across the whole place, and when he saw many people's faces turned pale, he couldn't help but secretly laugh.

Regardless of whether Huang Ting Shenjun appears or not, there is actually no difference in the matter. If he was really dissatisfied with the performance of certain people and wanted to do something, he would have done it long ago. Since he was just giving a warning, he exposed it by the way.

The hidden identity of the Shenmen True Lord must not be revealed any more...

However, he himself was really shocked. When the Shenmen Master said the name "Ancestor Huang Ting", he felt his heartbeat stopped for a moment.

You know, he is the reincarnation of the Supreme God and the number one devil in all the worlds.

Although Jasmine repeatedly promised that even the World-Destroying Divine Thunder could no longer recognize him, certainly not the other monks. But Wu Jie knew that the method of creating the Divine Lord could never be that simple.

According to Hua Siyuan, he may have also encountered divine punishment such as the world-destroying divine thunder, but his divine will still exists, and his sect still ranks first among all the forces in the world.

And theoretically speaking, the Supreme God Lord, who should have been destroyed by the World-Destroying Divine Thunder, actually left a foreshadowing in the avenue and almost plotted against Wu Jie.

Huang Ting Shenjun is probably not as capable as Hua Siyuan and the Supreme God Sovereign, but he is also the God of Creation. Even if he cannot see that Wu Jie is the reincarnation of the Supreme God Sovereign, he is likely to see the existence of the Book of Heaven world, and then from there

The World of Heavenly Books determines that Wu Jie is the descendant of the Supreme God...

Fortunately, nothing happened

"...Today is the longevity ceremony for two Taoist friends from the Yujing Sect. Why don't we just follow tradition." Just as he was sighing, Yang Ziqi had already spoken again, "According to tradition, shouldn't a preaching conference be held?"

After everyone heard this, they all breathed a sigh of relief. But Wu Jie and Bai Jin couldn't help but look at each other, and they both saw a bit of a wry smile in each other's eyes.

In celebrations such as the Immortality Ceremony, it is indeed a long-standing tradition for the host of the celebration to give a sermon and show everyone his understanding of the Great Way. However, this is usually a celebration of the True Monarch Dongxu or even the Immortal Heavenly Monarch.

What qualifications do two Yang Shen true immortals have to preach in front of a large group of people who have attained enlightenment earlier than themselves?

Obviously, this Yang Ziqi must have been following his elders all year round. Maybe he usually met the True Lords and Heavenly Lords, so he never thought about what the celebration of the Yang God True Immortal should look like, and subconsciously followed the rules he was familiar with.

Comments were made on the situation.

"Senior Yang is right. Let's ask two fellow Taoists to preach." There was silence for a moment before someone agreed.

Wu Jie didn't know whether the people who agreed had good intentions or malicious intentions, but he was sure that he was probably not suitable to preach.

This is not to say that his understanding of Taoism is poor, but that his basic skills do not belong to Taoism at all, and the secret will be revealed as soon as he opens his mouth.

Of course, he can also speak based on his own understanding of Taishang Jiuzhuan Dharma. But "preaching" is not just empty talk, it is to use magical powers to demonstrate Taoism, display one's Tao in front of everyone, and

Everyone confirmed each other.

His Tao is based on the skills of the Four Fighting Gods, so it's really not suitable for demonstration.

In the midst of distress, Bai Jin suddenly smiled and said: "What Senior Yang said makes sense, why don't you let me explain it first?

"Eh? Bai Jin wants to preach?" More than one person was stunned when he heard his words.

In everyone’s impression, the owner of the Bingyun Building of the Yujing Sect, Bai Jin, has excellent swordsmanship and strong combat power, but no one has ever heard that he is good at preaching.

You know, today is not a sermon to those younger disciples who have not achieved immortality, but a sermon to congratulators from all walks of life who are also immortal immortals. If Bai Jin does not perform well, it will lose the face of the entire Yujing Sect.

For a time, everyone who knew anything about Platinum was filled with doubts. Even Wu Jie, who was about to rush the duck to the shelves, was stunned for a moment.

Facing everyone's puzzled looks, Bai Jin smiled slightly and said loudly: "I am the owner of Bingyun Tower, the name of Yujing Sect's Peak Absolute Sword. I think everyone has heard of it. Bai is not good at words, so he showed it with his sword skills.

, and confirm each other with all fellow Taoists."

After saying that, he invited everyone to sit down, and then flicked the wine glass in front of him with his finger. The wine in the glass flew up and turned into a crystal icicle, roaring into the sky.

"Everyone in my Taoist sect's various techniques all start from heaven."

Following his words, the icicle shook slightly and started to speed through the air.

The icicles did not simply fly. While flying, a peaceful and nourishing aura was slowly generated from them, permeating the entire venue.

This breath is extremely gentle, like the gentle rain on a spring night, nourishing all things without making any sound, naturally exuding a vigorous vitality. Sensed by this vitality, many pieces of wood that have been made into tables are covered with tiny

Green, if you look carefully, it turns out that dead wood has sprouted again.

"What Taoist Bai said is wrong. Excessive nourishment is not the way to obey nature." Someone retorted, "To obey nature is birth, old age, illness and death. Our pursuit of immortality is naturally against nature. How can we say it is in harmony with nature?

Where is the sky?

Bai Jin had already expected someone to refute, and smiled slightly when he heard the words: "What fellow Taoist said is also the same truth. But what I say about obeying the sky is not to blindly follow the principles of the cycle of heaven and earth, but to start from the principles of heaven and earth and use it.

As his strength grows, he waits until the most critical moment before using his power."

"Longevity is a difficult matter. You can only rely on yourself at the last step, but before that, you should rely more on the power of heaven and earth."

As he spoke, the sound of wind rose loudly in the air, and the agitated breath formed a turbulent vortex. In this vortex, the icicles made of wine seemed to be light and weightless, wandering with the airflow, sometimes heading east and sometimes west.

, appears relaxed and comfortable.

But suddenly, the sword light flashed, and a sharp edge emerged from the icicle, tearing a crack in the turbulent airflow, and escaped from it lightly, turned into wine again, and fell back into the platinum cup.

"Grow by following the rules, achieve by going against the rules, and then maintain yourself by following the rules." Bai Jin smiled and said, "This is Bai's way to immortality. What do you think?"

There was silence for a while, and then Elder Yan Zhengyan of the Mo Xiao Sect praised: "Living between obedience and adversity, growing and nourishing with obedience, and breaking through obstacles with adversity, this is indeed the way to live forever."

As a senior who has been enlightened for hundreds of thousands of years, his words affirmed Bai Jin's path and understanding, and for a while everyone started to praise him.

Wu Jie looked at the people who were full of praise, and then at Bai Jin who was smiling. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart, and was about to bite the bullet and give a demonstration. As for why what he demonstrated was not what Taomen wanted at all.

Fa, then I have no choice but to hehe...

But no one expected that before he had time to demonstrate the Taoist method, someone in the hall said: "We have heard of the reputation of the Yujing Sect's Ice Peak Absolute Sword. It just so happened that the two Taoists who achieved immortality this time were both disciples of Bingyun Peak. Since Bai Dao

My friend has already demonstrated Taoism, why not ask Wu Daoyou to demonstrate his swordsmanship."

When Wu Jie heard this, the expression on his face couldn't help but stiffen.

Swordsmanship? How can he demonstrate any swordsmanship? Does he need to demonstrate Tianwen Sword Technique?

"Wu's swordsmanship is really nothing compared to Uncle Bai's..." He said with a wry smile, wanting to refuse.

But the man didn't allow him to refuse at all. A turquoise sword light had already risen, and he nodded to him far away, as if saluting: "A certain family is talented and is willing to be a sparring partner. Please show mercy to Wu Daoyou."

Wu Jie was stunned for a moment. Seeing this scene, he knew he had no choice but to refuse.

"These guys did it on purpose." Platinum's message rang in his ears, "Just give them a sword and let them see how powerful our ascended monks are."

"My disciple is not good at swordsmanship," Wu Jie replied with a wry smile, "When it comes to martial arts or magic, I am quite confident. Swordsmanship... is not my strength."

Bai Jin was stunned. He didn't expect that Wu Jie, as an ascended monk, was not good at swordsmanship.

Generally speaking, ascension monks have strong spiritual thoughts and can divide more thoughts, so most of them have extraordinary attainments in swordsmanship and can be said to be unique. But Wu Jie is an exception. His talent in swordsmanship is quite poor.

, even with the advantage of spiritual thoughts, his swordsmanship is definitely no match for those Yang Shen True Immortals who are good at swordsmanship.

Looking at the steady and calm sword light of the real immortal who actively asked to be a "sparing partner", and the clear and sharp sword intent, we knew that he must be a master of swordsmanship. Even if Bai Jin took action himself, he might not be able to take advantage of it - let alone Wu Jie

.

Facing such a scene, Wu Jie couldn't help but feel a little distressed. Just when he was frowning and trying to find an excuse to refuse, Du Ruo from the World of Heavenly Books spoke.

"Fourth, please relax a little and let me help you control the flying sword." She, who had been laughing and watching the fun, now had a serious look on her face and a sinister look in her eyes, "Want to bully my brother? I'm dreaming."

Wu Jie suddenly felt relieved - Du Ruo was a real genius, and his talent in swordsmanship was better than that of his junior brother Yi Ti. Among the people he had met, he was probably only inferior to Yin Shuang. With her swordsmanship, I believe that

Even if we can’t win, we will definitely not lose the face of the Yujing Sect.

"But Third Sister, your cultivation level is not high enough. If you confront someone head-on, you will suffer a lot..." He was about to let go of his mind and let Du Ruo use his body to perform sword skills, but suddenly he thought of such an important thing.

I couldn't help but frown again.

"You guy, why do you look down on your third sister so much? With my swordsmanship, how can he have the chance to confront me head-on?" Du Ruo raised his eyebrows and sneered disdainfully, "For masters of swordsmanship like us, head-on confrontation is the most undesirable.

Just wait and watch the excitement."

After a while, "Wu Jie" smiled slightly and said in a loud voice: "Today is our sect's celebration, isn't it appropriate to use weapons?"

"It's just a demonstration of swordsmanship, what's inappropriate?" The man didn't give up, but became even more aggressive.

"How about you and I use wine as a sword and order it till the end?"

The man was silent for a moment, nodded, put away his sword light, flicked the wine glass with his finger, and the wine in the cup roared up, turning into a sword light and pointing at Wu Jie.

At the same time, the wine glass in front of Wu Jie also shook slightly. The wine in the glass flew up, but instead of turning into a sword light, it scattered bit by bit and turned into countless crystal water droplets floating in the air.

"The way of swordsmanship, the first is speed, the second is skill. Fellow Taoist, be careful."

As soon as he finished speaking, the countless water droplets shook violently and turned into countless sword lights, whizzing towards the opponent.

The man never expected Wu Jie to be able to divide his sword intention into so many rays, and was immediately panicked. As soon as he squeezed the sword technique, his water sword suddenly collapsed and turned into hundreds of sword rays, trying to intercept it.

However, you don't even need to look at the fighting situation between the two sides, just look at the amount of sword light on both sides, you know that the outcome of this battle has already been determined.

Just a moment later, "Wu Jie" smiled, put the countless sword lights back in front of him, turned them into a glass of wine, returned to the glass, and then raised the glass: "Cheng Rang."

Not far away, the Yang Shen Zhenxian, who was very confident in his swordsmanship, had a pale face, with wine stains all over his face and body.

The two sides fought for just one round.
