Chapter 440: The way to sincerity, finding the true self
Experts will know if there is any as soon as they take action.
Being blocked by the middle-aged scholar... Fang Pengyi immediately sensed the opponent's strength.
He stabilized his body, flew down, walked between the two of them, looked at Long Yu and asked, "Is this person an old acquaintance of yours?"
Long Yu was attentive and intelligent, and he instantly guessed from Fang Pengyi's reaction that the middle-aged scholar was quite capable.
In order to prevent conflicts between the two immortals, he quickly smoothed things over: "I don't know this person, maybe I misunderstood him.
Since Master has something important to ask me for, Mr. Long will come with you."
Fang Pengyi was also very well-mannered. After hearing this, he nodded towards the middle-aged scholar as a greeting and waved his hand again to take Long Yu away.
"Wait!"
"Boy, don't be ignorant of good and evil. I am willing to accept you as a disciple. It is a blessing you gained in your previous life." The middle-aged scholar is the jasper ghost face, with extremely evil nature.
He even dared to accept people like Wu Huajun as his disciples. Now that he saw Long Yu with better qualifications, he naturally didn't want to miss it.
At this time, Fang Pengyi also realized that this person seemed to be competing with him for disciples. How could he agree so easily?
"My friend, you may not know that Xiaoyou Long and I have known each other for a long time. If we want to talk about first come, first served, you are still behind me."
The Jasper Ghost Face completely ignored his words and stretched out his right hand to detect Long Yu's specific qualifications.
Snap!
The arm that was as pale as paper and had prominent blood vessels rested on the other arm that suddenly stretched out.
Fang Pengyi and Long Yu both looked shocked. They opened their mouths to speak, but closed them instantly, as if they heard something.
"Friend, what way have you cultivated, what methods have you practiced, and why are you causing trouble here?"
The Jasper ghost's face became angry, and he was about to crush the visitor's arm when he suddenly felt the jade pendant in his arms shaking violently.
He took it out and took a look...
On the blood-red dragon jade pendant, the black spots that originally belonged to the dragon elm were completely obscured, and a new black mass appeared, as if the sun appeared, with infinite black light covering the entire blood-red jade pendant.
Stay until the end.
With a bang, the jade pendant exploded into ashes.
"This...how is this possible?"
Jasper Ghost Face was shocked at first.
Very happy soon!
"Hahahaha~ I have found a successor, I have found a successor, this kind of qualification... is even better than mine a hundred times, a thousand times, my sect's orthodoxy will definitely be carried forward in your hands, hahahaha!"
Fang Pengyi and Long Yu in the field looked very strange and strange. They knew that the person in front of them... couldn't possibly become a disciple of a middle-aged scholar.
The Jasper Ghost Face abandoned Long Yu and stared closely at the person who came. She saw that he was eight feet tall, with broad shoulders and a thick body. His back was as tall as a sword, and he stood as tall as a mountain. He had a majestic appearance.
"With your qualifications, I'm not even qualified to be your master, but I can pass on my skills to you and make you a senior. You can just go with me."
After saying that, he turned his fingers into claws, grasped the man's arm tightly, and immediately chose to leave regardless of the eyes of other people around him.
But no matter how hard he pulled, the latter was like a towering mountain, easily unshakable.
Jasper Ghost Face realized something was wrong, turned around slowly, and looked at the person again.
"What? You don't want to?"
"So I have the qualifications to exorcise corpses? I didn't expect this. My qualifications in this area were not good before."
The person who came was none other than Tie Tang, and he was telling the truth.
Before, in the outer world, he and Wang Andao entered the corpse exorcist inheritance, but in the end it was Wang Andao who obtained the secret method of exorcizing corpses.
That tradition didn't think highly of him at that time.
Now Tie Tang's words were equivalent to revealing half of Biyu Guimian's identity, leaving him stunned for a moment.
After all, it was the wisdom of the gods. After a little observation of Fang Pengyi and Long Yu, who had never spoken, and then combined with the terrain of this place.
Jasper Ghost Face thought of a possibility.
"Who are you?"
"It's easy to say, I am Tie Tang, the governor of Qingshui County. Your Excellency comes to my city to cause trouble... You should ask me something first, right?"
Tietang!
Sure enough it was him.
The Jasper ghost face secretly said that something was wrong, and there was a lot of reluctance in his heart, mixed with a trace of pity.
He didn't expect that this peerless evildoer, who ranked second on the life and death list, would be so consistent with his sect's orthodoxy.
But compared to others...
If you want to force this person to be your disciple, it will be harder than going to heaven.
There is nothing he can do to seduce or impress the other party. With Tie Tang's qualifications and background, which are second on the life and death list, he can only become an immortal easily, and he must have a peerless skill that is rare in the world.
"So... the Immortal Killing Sword was rescued by you?"
It is not difficult to imagine that Ergou happened to appear in Qingshui City and hid in the Yanxia Cave. There are not so many coincidences in the world.
Tie Tang did not respond directly, but said slowly: "It would be a great honor for you to come to our Qingshui City.
But if you want to stir up trouble...you have to weigh your own weight."
The Jasper Ghost Face frowned, and realized that the entire underground of Qingshui City was like the roots of a ten thousand year old tree, extremely lush, with countless lines, and talismans connecting Tietang.
There is an extremely powerful formation in the city, and the person who controls it does not need to say anything.
"Chief Iron, don't you think about it anymore?"
"There is nothing to consider. I am sincere and sincere. We do not agree with each other and we will not conspire with each other. You can leave!" Tie Tang has no intention of taking action.
First of all, the opponent is extremely powerful. Even if they cooperate with the city's large formation and Fang Pengyi, they may not be able to defeat the opponent.
Secondly, Tie Tang believed that with Er Gou, no, with Feng Chengdao's temperament... he would definitely avenge himself, and there was no need for him to take action.
After hearing "I am sincere and my way", Jasper Ghost Face's face finally changed color.
The path of sincerity will lead to the holy state.
The word "sacred" is crude.
Only when you have your own piece of free land can you call it holy.
If you want to be a saint, you must first concentrate on one path.
Choosing one thing and sticking to it is impossible without a sincere heart.
Tie Tang's words not only expressed his rejection, but also announced to the Jasper Ghost Face that he had found his own path and would never change it forever.
It is no longer possible for him to choose another path.
However, Tie Tang's qualifications are so good that Jasper Ghost Face is unwilling to give up after all.
"Second on the life and death list, second only to the Human Emperor, Governor Iron indeed has an extraordinary demeanor.
But.
No matter how high your qualifications are and how deep your potential is... with your current strength, can you possibly rival an immortal?"
Without waiting for Tie Tang's response, Jasper Ghost Face went back to talking to himself.
"Can't!"
"You can't do it!"
"This is the limitation of your avenue."
"But my sect's orthodoxy is different. Even if you are a witch god, or even a witch from heaven or earth, it is possible to compete with, or even defeat, or kill an immortal god.
When it comes to using the weak to defeat the strong, our Wuji Sect is number one in the world!"
His tone was full of confidence, as if he was explaining the facts.
Tie Tang got a clue from it. It turned out that this person, like Wang Hai, was a descendant of the Wuji Sect.
He narrowed his eyes slightly and responded disdainfully: "You dare to claim to be the best in the world under the guise of foreign objects? Throw away the zombie foreign objects, even if you are in the Zhuwu Realm, you are no match for me."
The Jasper ghost's face was not angry but smiled: "Haha, this is originally our own method, just like your witchcraft and magical powers, they are not a reflection of our own strength."
"Stop talking nonsense, you are not welcome in Qingshui City, please leave immediately!"
The last remonstrance was useless, and Jasper Ghost Face had the idea of taking action.
He is a person who does all kinds of evil, burning, killing, looting and not even batting an eyelid. Since Tie Tang is unwilling to join the family, he plans to kidnap her by force and train her slowly in the future.
With this thought, Tie Tang immediately felt the state of mind where he could not see or hear anything, and felt danger and avoided it.
"What? You want to do something to me?"
The Jasper ghost face was startled, and immediately nodded approvingly: "It is worthy of being second on the life and death list. Even the state of mind is so high, how can it surpass many saints?
After all, you haven’t seen my methods, maybe you think I’m bragging.
This way.
I'm showing off my skills, as long as you can avoid or resist, I'll leave right now and never look back, how about that?"
"Haha~ For people like you, if you stick your butt out, I will know whether you are going to fart or shit. Your promises are simply empty words. No one will believe you even if you say it a thousand or ten thousand times.
I don’t have time to play these childish tricks with you. If you still won’t leave... don’t force me to do it!”
How could Tie Tang believe his words?
Qingshui City, which was originally peaceful and peaceful, immediately burst into infinite starlight after Tie Tang finished speaking. The stars appeared in rounds, and the roar of tigers and dragons, and the roar of birds and the chirping of turtles were faintly heard in the sky.
The city defense formation deployed before, with 100% of its peak power, is still powerful enough to block a strike from the master.
At this time, after adding the incomplete Great Zhou Tianxing Formation, it is even more powerful. It can resist the immortal gods at will by controlling it at will, and it is difficult to gain benefits from the Hedao Realm.
At present, there are crouching tigers and hidden dragons in Qingshui City, and Tie Tang is a real and dignified governor of a county. He is also an official of the imperial court who has been registered with the great merchants.
Once you get started...
The city defense formation and Fang Pengyi alone are enough for Jasper Ghost Face to drink a pot.
If an immortal overlord comes to help, he may not be able to leave this place.
Think of this.
No matter how sorry and reluctant Jasper Ghost Face felt, in the end he could only leave the harsh words and choose to retreat.
"You will regret it!"
Faced with his threat, Tie Tang would not even frown. He now has plenty of debts and no need to worry about lice.
Secretly, there is the Yu family who wants to deal with him. On the surface, there are many Hedao realm immortals and gods, but in fact it is nothing.
Fang Pengyi squinted as he watched the Jasper Ghost Face leave, and asked slowly: "Is this the one you mentioned earlier?"
"Yes, it's him!"
"Okay, let me check his details. Don't worry, there will be news soon."
"Thank you so much, Master Fang!"
"This is all a trivial matter, not to mention that he just provoked me. How can our Fang family be afraid of the Wuji Sect?"
Tie Tang is still aware of the power of the Fang family. With Fang Pengyi's position in the Fang family, it is not difficult to find out the details of a person.
After a brief storm, Tie Tang came to the depths of Yanxia Cave, where Feng Chengdao was placed by him in this cave where the vitality and aura are the most profound.
The mountains are capped, connecting the sky and the earth.
There was lightning and thunder on the top of the mountain, dragons and snakes were swimming around, and there was a huge black egg standing on top. Tian Wen, Li Geng, and Feng Bingyao were standing around to watch.
Seeing Tie Tang arriving, Tian Wen immediately shouted: "Tietou, this guy is not good. He seems to have no connection with you and cannot enter your door."
Tie Tang took a closer look.
I saw that the surface of the huge black egg was covered with cracks like spider webs, with traces of chaos, and a mysterious aura emanating from the gaps, but there was still no aura of Feng Chengdao.
This means that Feng Chengdao has reached the realm of the Mysterious Embryo, but has not yet begun to practice the exercises, so he has been unable to emerge from the womb.
"Brother Tie's technique is for the future. We are still in the era of acupoint techniques. Even if the Immortal Killing Sword is equally talented and talented, it may be difficult to practice it in advance." Li Geng saw the clues.
Feng Bingyao said even more bluntly: "You think highly of him. After all, he comes from a poor background and lacks knowledge and background, so it is difficult for him to enter your door."
Tie Tang frowned slightly, realizing that Feng Chengdao was indeed trapped in a dilemma.
If he cannot break through this obstacle, he will not be able to practice his own skills.
"My method is the orthodox path of the future. It is orthodox, and everyone can learn it. If you can't even enter the door...how dare you talk about orthodoxy?"
He explained to the three of them, then walked to the front of Chaos Xuantai and pressed it with one hand.
"You have killed too many people, and it is hard to come back. The injustice and karma have clouded your own perception. You need to find your true self before you can see the Tathagata."
The Chaos Xuan Fei shook slightly, and Feng Chengdao, who had turned into a little spiritual light, responded: "Master, how can I find my true self?"
"You have an innocent heart, but you have not embraced the path of sincerity. What you have to do now... is to find your own path for the future.
This road is not the three thousand avenues, nor any kind of method, but the most authentic self, the most primitive you, a clear mind, a sincere and true understanding.
People will miss a lot of things in their lifetime, and some things can only be obtained during a specific period of time.
Once you miss it, no matter how powerful your magic power is and your cultivation is unparalleled, it will be impossible to find it again.
That moment of realization...
It is the most primitive and authentic self in the past."
Chaos Xuantai was silent for a long time, thinking for a long time, still a little unclear.
"Dare you ask Master to speak clearly!"
"This is the most mysterious truth between heaven and earth. It is the understanding that everyone has completely different but reaches the same goal through different paths.
Your hand cannot write and your mouth cannot speak. It is impossible for you to understand clearly based on personal description.
But I can tell you a similar feeling.
When you were a child.
There should be a certain period when you are extremely obsessed with a certain toy and want to get it, but due to various reasons, you are never able to get it.
And when you grow up, no matter how much money you have, no matter how many toys of the same type you buy, you will still not be able to find the original joy you had when you were a child.
At that particular period...
The most simple, innocent, and simple desire born in your heart is a feeling that is long and short-lived, and is gone and cannot be traced back.
This is your original true self!"
After Tie Tang finished speaking, he took away his palm and let Feng Chengdao comprehend it on his own.
He believed that such a top person should be able to understand his own words.
His words also made the three people watching nodded frequently, as if they had understood something, but it flew by in an instant and was difficult to capture.
After thinking briefly, Tianwen walked up to Tie Tang and asked, "Didn't you say someone would come to collect the body today? How did you get in?"
"Let's go out first and leave him alone to slowly comprehend. As for the person you mentioned, great monk..."
……
Three days later.
Feng Chengdao is still in the process of Xuantang's transformation, and Tie Tang doesn't interfere too much. He can only rely on himself for many things, and it is difficult for others to help him.
Compared with personal affairs, he is the governor of a county and has to take care of the hundreds of millions of people in Qingshui County.
Qingshui County Government Office.
Li Qingwan, He Changsheng, Qiu Zhengyang, and Lu Zhengqing are all present.
Lu Zhengqing, who has not been seen for a long time, has reached the Heavenly Witch Realm, but the three people present know that he should not stop there.
The aftertaste of the fall of an immortal god... is enough to push Lu Zhengqing to the realm of the Great Perfection Witch God.
Among them.
There must be some inside information.
But this is a family matter of the Lu family after all. Lu Zhengqing himself did not ask Tie Tang and others for help, so it is naturally difficult for them to interfere.
He Changsheng and Qiu Zhengyang were sitting in the same row, and they were the first to stand up and report: "Chief Commander, what we proposed before has now been approved by all the major families."
Tie Tang nodded with satisfaction: "How many people are willing to participate?"
"About three thousand people!"
"Oh? There are so many? Are they willing to go to other cities to guard them?"
Three thousand people signed up, which Tie Tang did not expect.
Because this time, he not only has to deploy experts from the aristocratic families to guard Qingshui City, but also uses their strength to take care of every city under his jurisdiction.
The official notification from the imperial court has been passed down. Because there are too many prisoners escaping from the three places of exile, vigilance must be stepped up in each place.
Among them, Qingshui County ranks low and is located in a poor area, which is the best place for prisoners to hide.
Most of the cities under its jurisdiction are of low strength, and without experts in charge, they can easily be breached by desperate criminals.
Therefore, in addition to Qingshui City, Tietang must also consider the safety of other cities.
Qiu Zhengyang said with a smile: "These people are not only because of the Yanxia Ticket, but also because your reputation is growing. Many aristocratic families are either afraid of your majesty or admire your glory, so they have basically made great efforts."
"This is a good thing. Do the cultivation levels of the manpower they send meet the requirements?"
"There are more than 3,000 people, more than 2,000 primordial spirit witches, three hundred wizards and Taoists in the secret realm of gods and witches, and hundreds of shamans in the secret realm. The lowest level of cultivation is above the supernatural power realm."
Tie Tang was slightly shocked, he didn't expect the Qingshui City family to have such strength.
"The background is not shallow~"
He Changsheng shook his head: "They are just medicine jars piled up with resources. Their strength must be at least a discount. Don't think too much of them."
"It doesn't matter, it mainly serves as a deterrent so that the prisoners don't dare to act rashly, and someone can pass on the message in time."
Tie Tang didn't pay attention and continued to give instructions: "Then according to the previous arrangement, disperse these people to various subordinate cities.
Rural city, which was of low strength, sent a shaman and two souls there.
For those who have sufficient knowledge, they will send two to four Yuanshen great witches to take care of and guard the place.
In addition..."
Tie Tang looked at Li Qingwan and said, "I would like to deploy several battalions of soldiers and horses to set up patrol routes in Qingshui County, crossing the patrol roads, inns and other places.
In this way, if there is any change, not to mention being able to resist it head-on, at least we can get the news in time.
Do you have enough manpower over there?"
He just asked as usual. This question was not difficult at first, but unexpectedly Li Qingwan frowned.
"Earlier, you set up formations and collided head-on with the major aristocratic families. Later, you directly eradicated the Si family, which made many aristocratic families panic.
They recruited all the clan members at once, and my troops were greatly weakened. Although there are many people, there are only a few elite soldiers and good generals."
"Oh? Is there such a thing?"
Tie Tang frowned slightly and asked about the recruitment order issued by the official document. Considering Li Qingwan's status as a woman, he also specially opened a women's camp for this purpose.
"The women's camp has achieved good results. Many women are not willing to just be women. There are many people who have signed up, and there are currently 7,000 to 8,000 people.
But there are also some problems here..."
"It doesn't matter if you say so!"
"Many of these women are from aristocratic families, with good background and good foundation."
Tie Tang said doubtfully: "This is a good thing!"
Li Qingwan slowly shook her head: "I can't afford to support them!"
"With the finances I currently have, I can't afford to support them at all. They consume a huge amount of food every day, not to mention that there are nearly half of them in the secret realm of witchcraft.
These people draw a lot of vitality from the world on a daily basis, and I can barely maintain it by allocating part of the power of the formation to allocate the vitality in the city.
But this cannot last forever, and many affected families have already raised objections to this."
There are four to five thousand witches and wizards in the secret realm. Normally, these people are scattered among the major families in Qingshui City, so there is no impact.
Once they gather in one place to practice at the same time, a huge amount of heaven and earth energy will be consumed.
Tie Tang tapped his index finger on the table: "This way... I'll think of a solution."
At this moment.
A yamen servant hurriedly walked outside the hall and reported: "Sir, there is a farmer named Quan Liangce who wants to see you."
Tie Tang patted the mat and said: "Haha~ It's just the right time, please invite him in quickly!"
After a while.
Quan Liangce, who was all muscled and muscular and had bronze skin, strode in.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
As soon as he came in, he knelt down towards Tie Tang and kowtowed three times in succession.
"The common people pay homage to Lord Iron!"
"No need to be polite, just get up and talk. How did things go?"
Quan Liangce stood up and held up his hands, his face flushed slightly and he looked excited.
"Fortunately, I have lived up to my command. There is a great harvest of asparagus rice. The harvest is about to be harvested. I have come here to invite you to come and have a look!"
