What happened in Xinzhai quickly spread throughout Taiyi Mountain, and the disciples of Tianzong and Renzong began to actively prepare for war for their respective beloved sects.
Within the Renzong, Chuanxu personally went to the back mountain to ask for an audience with his master, Poor Salaryman, but was told that Poor Salaryman could not come out of seclusion, and had no intention of personally intervening in this important matter.
"Chisong is determined to annex Renzong, which shows that he is fully confident that he can win the Miaotai Lunjian and is not afraid of a head-on battle. Where does his confidence come from?"
Chuanxu walked on the stone path in the mountains, thinking in his mind:
Except for Chisong himself, among the disciples of Tianzong, Qingxu's cultivation level is as high as that of his elders, and none of the disciples of Renzong can be his opponent. In the three sword competitions, Tianzong is sure to win two. The remaining one will be
Who can guarantee absolute victory?
Apart from Qingxu, the one with the highest cultivation level is Qing Yue. But Qing Yue’s strength is that our sect also has Qing Gu, Qing Yu and the two of them are enough to win. Could it be...
"Xiao Meng?" When Chuan Xu said this name, a look of helplessness appeared on his face.
A genius is a genius. Even if he is only twelve years old, the younger generation of disciples in their twenties and thirties, probably only Qingxu can be sure to beat Xiao Meng.
"If the sect has no hidden worries and Junior Sister Ji Yan is still here, she should be able to fight Xiaomeng."
Chuanxu left the back mountain with a heart full of dissatisfaction. Just after he left, in the bamboo house in the back mountain, the poor man slowly opened his eyes.
"Chisong, after all, can't help but want to annex the Renzong. Brother Beiming, do you acquiesce in all this?"
Of course, he didn't mean to watch the human sect being annexed by the heavenly sect. However, once he, who was in the heavenly realm, stopped him, how could Bei Mingzi sit back and watch. If he didn't take action, Bei Mingzi wouldn't take action either.
Moreover, it is indeed the two current heads of the sects who can really determine the future of Taoism, not the two old men who are living in seclusion.
"Alas~"
The poor man let out a long sigh, and the dust in the bamboo house that had not been cleaned for an unknown period of time disappeared with this sigh. The house was spotless, and everything he saw was simple and clean.
Behind Qiong Xinzi, a curtain of golden light gradually faded away, revealing an ancient scroll at its core. The golden light dissipated and the scroll dimmed. After a flame mark appeared in the air, the scroll disappeared out of thin air.
"After studying the Heavenly Book for a long time, I still haven't made any progress. However, I have gained a deeper understanding of the way of the unity of heaven and man initiated by Lu Zi."
The poor man stood up and waved his hand casually. Everything in the small area behind the mountain bamboo house returned to spring, and the mountain peach blossoms were dyed pink, making it an incredible scenery in winter.
"How come? Shan Peach Blossom?"
"Master?"
The two guarding disciples outside the house were frightened by the sudden change in front of them. Spring suddenly appeared in the middle of winter, which was contrary to the common sense of nature. However, it was still winter elsewhere. They could only think that it was the work of the master with great supernatural powers.
The poor man stepped out of the bamboo door, his eyes saw through the mountains, rivers, clouds, stars, and the endless space and time, recreating the battle in the East China Sea where he and the leader of the behind-the-scenes organization worked together to defeat Chu Nan Gong and obtain the Book of Heaven.
"Why does the way of the unity of heaven and man feel so familiar? There is only one way, but there are thousands of laws. The understanding of the realm of heaven and man is unique, and there should not be such a sense of familiarity. Could it be that I have been in contact with the leader of the organization behind the scenes before?"
After clearly checking the memories in his mind, he fell even deeper into doubts.
There are only a handful of seniors in the Heavenly Realm that I have come into contact with, and none of them are that leader. But the way of that leader makes me feel familiar. In fact, when the other party joins forces with me to attack, their power increases exponentially.
The contradictory impossibility makes Qiong Xinzi extremely concerned. If these impossibilities are solved, there is a high probability that the true identity of the leader of the organization behind the scenes can be confirmed.
"Who is that vast and infinite chill that is like the power of God, the familiar feeling of the unity of heaven and man..."
…
Within the Tianzong, Chisong also went to seek an audience with his master, Bei Mingzi.
In the bamboo forest, snow crows were chirping in twos and threes. Beside a stone table, Bei Mingzi was playing chess with himself.
A blue-haired young man in light-colored clothes quietly ran up to him, lowered his head and clasped his fists, saying: "Master, Master Chisong wants to see you."
"Hmm~" Bei Mingzi stroked his beard and shook his head slightly, then dropped Baizi on the stone table.
This young man is Xiao Ling, who was seriously injured and was taken in by the Tianzong, and is the brother of the next Shao Siming of the Yin Yang family.
After he understood what Bei Mingzi meant, he bowed slightly and took two steps back to exit the bamboo forest.
"Master, the master is missing."
This reply was not completely unexpected. Chisong frowned and nodded, then asked, "Well, did Master have any other instructions?"
Xiao Ling replied: "The master was playing chess. When he heard the disciple's report, he only shook his head slightly and had no other explanation."
"knew."
"Master, this disciple resigns."
Chisong also did not meet the Master and did not receive a clear attitude.
However, Bei Mingzi's unclear attitude, combined with the reality that Tianzong's strength is better than that of Humanzong, is an acknowledgment of the feasibility of Chisong's actions.
Of course Chisong understood this truth, and his master did not directly stop him, which meant that he could completely defeat the Renzong in this sword debate and realize his great wish to unify Taoism.
He silently saluted in the direction of the bamboo forest and then left quickly.
…
At the foot of Tianzong Mountain, beside a stream that had been frozen into an ice mirror, Qing Le, a Taoist priest with fluttering robes, was bowing down to talk to someone, with a very low posture.
"Lu Yan is coming to Taiyi Mountain? Why is he here?"
The man opposite Qing Le has a square face, plump and plump, with white eyebrows and white beard hanging down, and is dressed in a gray Taoist robe.
Qing Le once spied on this person, but he couldn't tell where he was. It was as vast as sinking into the endless thick soil. With just one glance, he saw nothing, but he already felt as if he was facing an abyss. From then on, he knew that the other person was a peerless expert.
.Comparing his master Chisong with the other party, it can only be said that he is on the same level as the earth.
There is a sword on this man's waist, with a single red edge. It is recorded in "Liezi" that the famous sword Xirong presented to the Emperor of Zhou, Kunwu.
He is Bei Mingzi's senior brother. Uncle Kunwu, whom Chisong once proudly mentioned to Xiaomeng, broke through the realm of heaven and human and traveled around the world decades ago.
"With the publication of "On Life in the World", how could Lu Yan not have anticipated the possible disputes among Taoists? He came to Taiyi Mountain to definitely support the Renzong and prevent the Tianzong from completing the unification of Taoism."
Qing Le believed in Kunwuzi's judgment so much that he couldn't help but waved his fist and cursed: "This Lu Yan is really the culprit of the split in our Taoism!"
"Lu Yan is the national master of the Qin State. Taiyi Mountain is within the territory of the Qin State after all. Without him coming forward, it will be difficult for your master to unify Taoism."
"The two sects of heaven and man discuss swords on the wonderful platform. This has been a tradition for many years. Does he really dare to use the power of Qin to forcefully intervene?"
Qing Le, a young descendant of Tianzong, looked a little silly, which made Kunwuzi shake his head and couldn't help laughing, "Haha, is there anything Lu Yan doesn't dare to do?"
"This..." After thinking hard for a while, Qing Le still had no idea how to help the master, so he respectfully asked: "Senior, please tell me how the disciple can help the master so that Lu Yan cannot interfere in the internal affairs of our Taoist family."
"Oh, you really are a brat~" Kun Wuzi sighed, and then said, "Well, come here, I will take care of you on behalf of my nephew Chisong."
"Chisong, my nephew?" Qing Le froze on the spot. After thinking about it for a moment, he turned pale with fright. He pointed at the expert in front of him and shouted, "Senior, are you my uncle?"
