Zhang Jiao woke up from his trance and verified the idea that suddenly came to him when he was practicing the Earth Escape Book. After finding that there was no problem at all, he sighed that he had got his wish.
Ever since Zhang Jiao defeated Zuo Ci and Yu Ji through a trial more than 20 years ago and obtained the three volumes of the Heavenly Book from the "South China Fairy", he has never stopped studying them, even for a long time.
I made no progress and never gave up.
His initial motivation was to prevent the two "fairies" Zuo Ci and Yu Ji from getting angry and attacking him. Even if the "South China Fairies" could protect him for a while, how could they protect him for the rest of his life?
However, after the failure of the two "immortals", they seemed to have completely forgotten him. They only slightly embarrassed Taiping Dao a few times in insignificant places. As for intercepting him or breaking into the main altar to start a fight, there was no trace of him.
thing.
According to the information collected by Taiping Dao disciples, one of them went to the surrounding areas of Luoyang, and the other to Jiangnan, as if those trivial matters were their mission, and coming to grab the Book of Heaven was just a convenience, and it didn't matter whether they made it to Chengdu or not.
If you think about it more carefully, the "Southern China Fairy" never did anything deliberately. Although Xu Zijiang gave him the comment of "Jiangzuo Meilin, a Qilin Talent", her actions in front of others are still the same as before.
He does good deeds at will and saves people at will. Although he was recently trapped in Luoyang due to the plague, he did not use the power of the immortal to eradicate it instantly.
Therefore, if you want to become an "immortal", you must first have Yun Danfengqing who doesn't care about anything. Unfortunately, he always calls himself "poor Taoist", but he doesn't know what "Tao" is at all.
With this kind of mentality, when I look at the cultivation formula that I couldn't understand at first, I naturally understand the unfinished meaning in it.
Introducing Qi into the body, refining Qi to transform into spirit, refining spirit to return to emptiness, and enlightening emptiness to combine with Tao.
This mantra clearly points out "what to do" but does not explain "how to do it". It is exactly the same as the attitude of those "immortals". The implication is roughly "I can only help you so far". Can you understand it?
How much you understand depends on the individual.
Zhang Jiao's understanding of this is to work backwards from the last sentence. Why is it that the first three sentences are all about "refining" one thing into another, but at the end there is a strange "combination"?
Does this mean that sentences containing the word "合" can also be added before?
For example, by introducing Qi into the body, [the body and the Qi are combined]; by refining the Qi into the spirit, [the Qi and the spirit are combined]; by refining the spirit to return to the emptiness, [the spirit and the emptiness are combined]; by enlightening the emptiness, integrating the Tao.
Is it because those immortals went straight to the [Hedao] realm where Zhang Jiao currently has no clue, so whatever they do cannot deviate from their own "Tao"?
As the Taoist ancestor of Taiping Tao, Zhang Jiao may not have anything. Only "Tao" existed from the beginning, that is, it was given to him by the "Fairy of Nanhua" as the purpose of Taiping Tao, "to propagate enlightenment on behalf of heaven and save the world."
In this case, why does he still struggle with the elementary "refining"? Even if he directly goes to "combine", there is no problem.
"Introduce Qi into the body, and unite the body and Qi..." Zhang Jiao made up his mind and recited the mantra in a low voice. He no longer simply used the absorbed spiritual energy as the driving force to realize the spell, but regarded himself as a part of the spiritual energy.
At the same time, we strive to achieve some kind of "magic".
call--
Just like the "immortal" described in storybooks or commentaries, Zhang Jiao's whole person turned into a breeze and disappeared in the quiet room without using the "phantom".
————
"Father! Those dog officials in Luoyang are really too much!" Zhang Jie, who was slightly taller and her face gradually became more youthful, ran up with her apricot-yellow flag, opened the door and broke into the quiet room, but
He only saw the remaining illusion of Zhang Jue disappearing, and said dissatisfiedly: "Besides, it's not here either?"
"Miss, don't destroy Master's illusions anymore," Ma Yuanyi chased behind and advised helplessly: "Those illusions can respond to specific questions according to Master's predetermined content when facing people other than Miss.
He will attack the enemy to a limited extent, but he will collapse when he sees the lady."
Regarding this setting, everyone on Taiping Road has reached a consensus: Even if it is an illusion, Daozu will not let the young lady call them "Father".
"But now I need to get a direct and clear answer from my father, not the relay of those 'qushuai'." Perhaps she was tired from running, Zhang Jie hugged her flag and sat on the couch, "because my father didn't come forward, they want to
You can say whatever you want, senior brother, haven’t you noticed that there are several different views within Taiping Dao about those dog officials in Luoyang?”
Miss Minjing herself didn't realize that the "dog official" she kept saying was actually an opinion. Ma Yuanyi sighed helplessly.
Due to the wide range of influence of Taiping Dao, in some places it is impossible to meet the demand by traveling evangelists alone, so the Julu General Altar has opened up direct connections with various places, allowing Fu Shui, Jiuhua Yulu Pills, and evangelists to communicate smoothly.
Channels", and the person in charge of each channel is called a "Qushuai".
Recently, first, the material purchase channel was cut off by Shi Changshi, and the price of affordable materials was increased by about three times. Then, the sales channels around Sili were heavily taxed. With rising and falling, the prices in the Sili area
Fu Shui and Jiuhua Yulu Pills were selling at a total loss, so they had to temporarily abandon the market there.
Later, when they heard about the great plague in Sili and the Shichangshi were in dire straits, some of the affected commanders still clapped their hands and cheered. Unexpectedly, after the court stabilized the situation a little, they did not hesitate to pin the source of the plague on Taiping Road.
If Taiping Dao hadn't been working on word-of-mouth these years, I'm afraid it would have been beaten to death with a stick. Even so, Taiping Dao's overall income has still dropped sharply. In areas where it is difficult to preach, such as Yizhou, etc.
It is completely denied access to Taiping Road.
The current internal views are roughly divided into two factions, the defensive faction who "evacuate all preachers, as long as they continue to smear, we will refuse to save people within their sphere of influence", and the defensive faction who "evacuate for what reason, just a group of money-grubbing eunuchs, we will
Can't we defeat them?" The attacking faction was headed by Zhang Liang and Zhang Bao respectively.
It is said that in addition to these two, there is also a small group of capitulationists who "give it to them if they want it", but they will be dealt with by both sides, so they are hidden deeper.
However, no matter how intense the discussion between the commanders and the Taoist disciples was, it was still Taoist Zhang Jiao who really made the decision. Both sides, offensive or defensive, needed the help of his unpredictable magic.
However, at this critical moment, Zhang Jie could not escape from seclusion. The various commanders claimed that they all received "support" when they asked Zhang Jiao's "phantom" for help. This was obviously impossible, so Zhang Jie was anxious.
to search for her father's true identity.
In Ma Yuanyi's view, avoiding the master is actually an attitude, that is, "maintaining the status quo." He himself may be accumulating strength and waiting for "A year later, the world will be prosperous", but this sentence has a chilling ambiguity. Ma Yuanyi
It has never been rumored, and Miss Minjing probably doesn't know... either.
————
Zhang Jiao, who turned into a breeze, was rushing towards Luoyang at a speed far exceeding that of a galloping horse.
He scorned all the so-called "offenses" and "defenses" conveyed by the remaining illusions.
As the saying goes, "When mortals think, gods laugh." After Zhang Jiao finally stepped into the threshold of "gods", he finally understood this sentence.
Shrink defense? Refuse to save people? Where do you leave the "Southern China Fairy" who specially passed down "Fu Shui" and other means of saving people?
Rise up and attack Luoyang? How many people will die in that case? Not only the fairy, but also Zuo Ci and Yu Ji will not agree. Moreover, if Wang Yue is given an excuse to take action... But he still remembers the "
Traces of the sky”?
There is only one solution at the moment, which is to sneak into Luoyang quietly and kill Han Ling Emperor Liu Hong while he has just been "promoted" and has not attracted the attention of other opponents of the same level!
Xuanhua on behalf of heaven and save the world has nothing to do with the emperor. In fact, it was his unbridled and unscrupulous pursuit of wealth that made him effective and created the ten permanent servants and many other weirdos who were officials only for money. If
It is said that Liu Hong was a wise and powerful emperor, then the ten permanent servants that Wang Yue trained for him would definitely not be what they are now.
The title of the greedy emperor is simply ridiculous. As the master of the world's wealth, it is no problem for him to want better enjoyment. Luxury goods can be taken away by him at will, but he actually hoards gold and silver that should be circulated in the market.
, or even copper coins, just to pile them up and look good?
I heard that he lived a very difficult life before he was elected emperor from a princely state, so he developed this kind of character? It is a pity that many people in the world have no obligation to pay for his miserable childhood. Anyway, in recent years
All the previous emperors died young, and their successors ascended the throne. One more of them is nothing.
Although the emperor is the emperor, he is still a mortal who has not awakened to Wushuang. The only problem now is how to escape from Wang Yue without revealing his identity after the assassination.
No... in fact there is still... the "Southern China Fairy", will he stop himself, and in what form?
While Zhang Jiao was thinking, his heart suddenly tightened and he quickly stopped.
Then, a sharp multi-colored gun light soared into the sky, just covering Zhang Jiao's original flight path. At this time, even if the breeze controlled by Zhang Jiao had stopped, the colorful gun light on the hilltop below would still spit out, a pair of
"You can't pass" attitude.
Zhang Jiao lowered the breeze and appeared on the relatively flat hilltop: "Who are you, and why do you want to block the poor road?"
"Haha, you know why I stopped you." The gunman is an old man with silver helmet and white hair, and there is a handsome and cute boy about ten years old not far behind him:
"If you can't escape from me, don't go to Luoyang. If you are caught by Lao Wang and your identity is known, all your disciples and disciples will be killed in one fell swoop."
How did the "South China Fairy" stop him? Zhang Jiao sighed with regret or happiness, and took off the South Fairy Staff from behind: "In this case, the 'Great Master' Zhang Jiao is here to ask for advice."
"'Sacred Spear' Tong Yuan, please!" As soon as the voice fell, the silver spear in the old man's hand turned into a colorful phoenix, and it stabbed towards him with the cries of birds.
