"There are no eternal rules in the world. Regarding the inheritance of Tao and Fruit, our Yuxu Temple has also had many changes."
Taoist Guangcheng stretched out his hand, and two sword lights, one red and one green, surrounded him and slowly fell towards a mountain below. At the same time, he said: "For example, the inheritance of Dao Fruit is not fixed to a certain line. It turns out that the disciples of Yuxu Temple are here
When I started, I had already decided on the Tao Fruit that I would inherit in the future, but later due to various reasons, my ancestors changed the rules so that as long as the conditions are met, I can choose to accommodate the Tao Fruit at will."
For example, if Guangchengzi Taoist Guangchengzi Daoguo of his is followed, he would have already decided to inherit this Daoguo in the future when he started to follow the rules before changing. No one except him can accommodate Guangchengzi Daoguo.
.
So does everyone else.
Everyone follows the established route to accommodate the path and fruition.
But as time went by, some Taoist fruits were lost in Yuxu Temple, and new Taoist fruits were found by the disciples, so this rule naturally changed.
Most of the time, the members of Yuxu Temple will still follow the corresponding route to accommodate Tao Fruit. After all, Tao Fruit of the same lineage has a higher degree of compatibility, but it does not necessarily have to accommodate a certain Tao Fruit.
For example, Shen Hou, the Shen Gongbao Dao Fruit he accommodated has nothing to do with the Twelve Golden Immortal Dao Fruit.
For example, Jiang Biehe, after accommodating the Muzha Daoguo, he also accommodated the Jinzha Daoguo. The former is considered the lineage of Samantabhadra, and the latter is the lineage of Manjushri Guangfa Tianzun.
By the way, as far as Jiang Li knows, even the Dao Fruit of the Twelve Golden Immortals in Yuxu Temple have changed. For example, among the current Twelve Golden Immortals, there is no real Huanglong, but Yun Zhongzi.
I don’t know if it’s because Master Huanglong’s Dao Fruit is lost, or because of other reasons, such as the Dao Fruit being too weak...
While talking, Taoist Guangcheng, Jiang Li, and Gongsun Qingyue landed on a snowy peak.
Taoist Guangcheng sat cross-legged, with clear light under his seat, and a green lotus swayed, supporting his figure. Two sword lights lay across his knees, forming two swords of strange and ancient shapes.
The sword grid is in the shape of flames, and one has the shape of a snake coiled in the sword grid.
"Although there is no precedent for the fourth-grade Dao Fruit to be spread in the past, the rules cannot be changed or accommodated."
Taoist Guangcheng said calmly: "After all, the poor Taoist is the master of the temple."
Taoist Guangcheng once again emphasized his identity and said that as the master of the temple, his power is unlimited.
Jiang Li can obtain the Qingyuan Miao Dao True Monarch Dao Fruit, provided that he can pay a satisfactory price.
"It seems that your faction is in a bad situation." Jiang Li probed.
"It is indeed not a good thing," Taoist Guangcheng admitted frankly without any attempt to hide it. "We, Yuxu Guan, have been enemies of the Buddhist kingdom for many years, and we have had deep hatred. Even the Taoist fruits of Manjushri Guangfa Tianzun fell into the hands of the Buddhist kingdom.
Now that the Buddhist Kingdom is advancing eastward, Ben Guan is its primary enemy. Although Pindao and my brothers are not afraid of the powerful Buddhist Kingdom, if a war breaks out, the foundation of our ancestors will be difficult to protect, so we have to do something."
"But there is a Taoist Priest in Yuxu Temple and another third-grade Taoist priest Guangyuan, and if the Enlightened One does not come out, the Buddhist Kingdom may not be able to truly threaten Yuxu Temple, unless..." Jiang Li uttered two words silently
.
——Jiang.
Zhenru, a big shot in the Buddhist kingdom, has revealed that Jiang Li has known about the connection between the Jiang family and the Buddhist kingdom, and is now about to return to Kyushu with the help of the Buddhist kingdom. Now it seems that Taoist Guangcheng is also aware of this matter
, discovered the connection between the Jiang family and the Buddhist country.
There are also people from the Jiang family in Yuxu Temple.
Once there is a conflict between Yuxuguan and the Jiang family, where these people will go will be a question.
The total number of people in Yuxu Temple is only about thirty, but if one or two people rebel, the impact will be considerable.
Taoist Guangcheng saw what Jiang Li meant, nodded slightly and said nothing.
If the head of the Jiang family wants to return to Kyushu and make a comeback, they will inevitably become enemies with the Zhou royal family and the Dinghu sect, but it is impossible for Yuxuguan to join the rebellion for the sake of a few members and go through fire and water for the Jiang family.
On the contrary, the Buddhist country wanted to spread Buddhism to the east, which was itself opposed to the Zhou Dynasty, and it could be said that they hit it off with the Jiang family.
The only thing to worry about is that there is an enmity between the Buddhist Kingdom and Yuxu Temple itself, and it is impossible to have both sides.
"This junior is willing to make a covenant with Senior Guangcheng on behalf of the imperial court. When the Buddhist Kingdom advances eastward, the imperial court will fully assist him." Gongsun Qingyue said immediately.
However, Taoist Guangcheng shook his head and said, "It's not enough. This is the responsibility of the imperial court, and it is not enough to pay for it. If the imperial court is unwilling to take action, then outsiders like Pindao will have no responsibility to stop the Buddhist kingdom."
There is a grudge, but if you want to use this to let Yuxu Guan fight to the death with the Buddhist Kingdom without support, then it would be too much to take Yuxu Guan as the enemy.
When the Buddhist Kingdom advances eastwards, the first people who should be anxious are the rulers of Kyushu, not the foreign sect of Yuxuguan.
So, not enough.
"So, where is the Imperial Master?" Jiang Li continued.
As soon as he said these words, Taoist Guangcheng's face froze, and the sword energy on his knees faintly burst out, flashing on the swords like lightning.
"Is the position of Imperial Master enough?" Jiang Li asked again.
Taoist Guangcheng's state of mind fluctuated like never before.
The most unbearable temptation for a practitioner is to reach a higher realm, and now, Guangyuan Taoists are facing such a temptation.
Even though he had been cultivating for many years, his state of mind would still be shaken by this temptation.
Guangchengzi was once the disciple of the Yellow Emperor. Now, if Taoist Guangcheng, who carries the Taoism of Guangchengzi, is the emperor's disciple, the benefits can be imagined. Moreover, Yuxu Temple will also benefit from it and receive full support from the imperial court.
This price is completely enough.
The premise is that Jiang Li and Gongsun Qingyue can pay.
Gongsun Qingyue was also surprised when he heard what Jiang Li said, and then immediately realized that this was the plan Tianxuan had given to Jiang Li before.
——Using the position of imperial master to seduce the hearts of Guangcheng Taoists.
She, Gongsun Qingyue, came here with Jiang Li, and she actually represented both the Gongsun family and the Jiang family in negotiating with Taoist Guangcheng.
"Jiang Li will soon obtain the legitimacy of the Jiang family and replace the position of the former head of the Jiang family, and this is also the intention of the family master." Gongsun Qingyue spoke slowly, and then added after Jiang Li's words.
Taoist Guangcheng narrowed his eyes, as if he was thinking about it.
The emperor's teacher has three meanings: one is the emperor's teacher, the other is the supreme religious leader, and the third is a gift to a highly virtuous and respected minister.
In fact, apart from the second meaning, the first and third ones have considerable influence, but they are not to the point of affecting the whole country. After all, no emperor is born to know everything, and they all have several teachers.
Calling the emperor master does not mean that the other person is above the emperor.
Only the second meaning will affect the country of a dynasty. It is called the emperor's teacher, but it is actually the national teacher.
But even the first and third types cannot be easily promised, at least they must come from the mouth of the emperor.
Taoist Guangcheng thought for a long time and suddenly smiled, "That's it."

Xikunxu.
Amidst the swaying wind and snow, among the towering mountains, there is a towering peak. Looking at the mountains, it is surrounded by clouds and mist, and it does not seem to be in the human world.
Among the misty clouds on the mountain, there are faintly exposed eaves and pavilions. The palaces are connected with thousands of eaves and thousands of buildings, forming a spectacular spectacle.
A cloud of air came from the outside and entered this strange scene. It flew past the palaces and entered the palace at the top of the mountain that looked like white jade, revealing a pure white figure.
She was dressed in white palace clothes, without too many decorations on her clothes, tending to be simple and elegant, just like her indifferent face.
The temperament of the Lord of the Immortal Palace is somewhat similar to Tianxuan, both possessing the majesty of the Shinto and the elegance of a woman. However, compared with Tianxuan, he is less graceful and more sharp and cold like a sword.
She is like a sword, a piece of ice, and a god, but she doesn't look like a human being.
When she walked into the main hall, the atmosphere in the hall became heavy, and a faint white air came out as she walked, bringing with it a deep chill.
"elder sister."
A pretty woman came up to her with folded hands, saluted the Fairy Queen, and then said: "That person sent news again, saying that Jiang Lizhi's strength is indeed comparable to the fourth rank, and even among the fourth rank, she is afraid that
There are few enemies. But this news doesn’t seem to be important.”
Jiang Li's strength is not known to the world now, but the Immortal Palace definitely knows it.
The Fairy Queen had witnessed Jiang Li's battle to suppress Jiang Biehe with her own eyes, so why did she need others to tell her?
"Qingyuan Miao Dao Zhenjun," the Fairy Queen stopped walking, and the chill around her body suddenly increased by three points, "What he means is that Jiang Li may be promoted to Qingyuan Miao Dao Zhenjun."
Although the identity of the person who sent the news has not been revealed, the Immortal Palace can still basically confirm that the person is from Yuxu Temple. And in Yuxu Temple, the person most likely to be related to this news is that person
Qingyuan Miaodao Zhenjun Daoguo.
The reputation of this Dao Fruit has spread widely, and the Immortal Palace as a neighbor is naturally aware of it. Corresponding the strict threshold of this Dao Fruit with the news, the Immortal Queen came up with the result.
"Qingyuan Miao Dao Zhenjun? No, if Jiang Li is promoted to this Daoguo, wouldn't Tian Xuan have a strong helping hand?" The beautiful woman's face changed and she cried out.
As we all know, sometimes the gap between people is greater than that between people and dogs. Tao and fruit also come from people, so naturally there are differences between them.
Even if they are at the same level, Tao Fruits are not equal to each other. Some Tao Fruits are stronger than others of the same level.
Fortunately, people who tolerate Dao Fruit are not equal. Even if they accommodate stronger Dao Fruit, it does not mean that they will be stronger than others. Accommodating weak Dao Fruit does not mean that the practitioner will be weaker.
A strong Taoist fruit does not mean that you will be strong.
But Jiang Li, there is no doubt that he is not the kind of weak person who would let down Daoguo, and Qingyuan Miaodao Zhenjun Daoguo, just by looking at its threshold, you can tell that he is definitely not weak.
Strengthening means that Jiang Li's strength will soar again.
"So, this person wants to invite me to take action and kill Jiang Li together," the Fairy Queen said lightly, with a chill lingering around her body, "just when Jiang Li is about to overcome the tribulation and be promoted."
No matter how amazing Jiang Li's strength is, he cannot easily survive the three disasters. When he was promoted, it was his weakest moment.
"But there are two old men, Guangcheng and Guangyuan, over there at Yuxu Temple..." The beautiful woman was still not optimistic.
"At that time, there may not only be a third-grade person who takes action."
The Fairy Queen seemed to see the situation clearly, and said calmly: "Even Tianxuan, it is possible..."
She gently flicked her sleeves, bringing up a layer of frost and sharpness, and ordered: "This person will not give up here. It can take as short as two or three days, as long as ten days. He will definitely make the next move. Pay attention to the situation, if there is any
Please report the message to me as soon as possible."
······
······
"Twenty-five days."
On the frozen plain, a golden shadow sat cross-legged on a lotus platform, suspended in mid-air, and said to the group of Arhats sitting around it: "There are still twenty-five days before the great ambition of the poor monk, Guang Li, and Bai Lian comes to an end.
At that time, it will also be the day to surround and kill Jiang Li."
"The news that he is trying to be promoted to the True Lord of Qingyuan Miaodao has been leaked. Those who are his enemies will not miss this opportunity. Even with the protection of Yuxu Guan, they cannot curb the murderous intentions of all parties."
His strength is already comparable to the fourth level. If he is promoted to the True Lord of Qingyuan Miao Dao, how can he still do it?
Even if he may not be able to cross the boundaries of grade again and compete with the third grade, it is definitely a big threat.
Once Jiang Li is promoted, he will be equivalent to the strongest person among the fourth ranks. His status is to the fourth rank just like the Awakened One, Karma Tathagata and others are to the third rank.
China will never allow such an awesome person to exist!
"But Master, Yaoguang Pojun may not wait until then." Tota Arhat said.
Jiang Li is not a fool. After knowing that the news was leaked, he will definitely be prepared, and getting promoted before the January period is definitely one of the preparations.
He could not wait until the great wishes of the three Bodhisattvas in the Buddhist Kingdom expired, which would increase the danger.
"Of course he won't wait until the January period is over, but he has to wait."
The phantom voice of Master Manjusri was calm, with a kind of strategizing calmness, "The promotion of Qingyuan Miao Dao Zhenjun needs to overcome the three disasters of wind, fire and thunder. As long as one of them is blocked, Jiang Li's promotion can be stopped. Poor Monk
We have asked Hui Lun to come with the Wind-fixing Pearl. Until the end of the one-month period, you and others must protect Don Jiang and prevent him from being harmed by the wind disaster."
Master Manjusri was very familiar with the promotion ceremony of the Qingyuan Miao Dao Zhenjun Daoguo, and he directly explained the method of containment in his words.
The wind-fixing bead he was talking about, as the name suggests, is a bead that has the ability to stop and stabilize the wind. This bead has no other power, not even any lethality. Its only function is to target any "wind".
As long as it is wind, no matter how big or small it is, it must be calmed down before the Wind-Fixing Pearl. Even a wind disaster, one of the three disasters, cannot be set off by the Wind-Fixing Pearl.
Without the wind disaster, Jiang Li's promotion ceremony could not be completed.
Upon hearing this, Tota Arhat and others immediately showed compassionate smiles.
Protecting Jiang Li and others was part of the ambition. They helped Jiang Li suppress the storm. It could be said that they were following the ambition and did not violate it at all.
On the contrary, if Jiang Li took action to prevent them from using the Wind-fixing Pearl, it would free the three Bodhisattvas from the Buddhist Kingdom from this shameless agreement.
"good."
The happy Arhat smiled and said: "Donor Jiang treats people with sincerity, and our Buddhist country cannot break its trust with others. We will protect Donor Jiang for twenty-five days to protect him from wind disasters. Wait until this month is over..."
·”
"Then I will save Almsgiver Jiang. I will save Almsgiver Jiang and go to the Western Paradise to meet my Buddha." All the Arhats said in unison.
