Fang Qishao kept nagging in Chu Xiu's ears. This man's talkativeness was definitely a disease, as if he could suffocate to death if he didn't talk for a day.
Chu Xiu was also annoyed by his nagging, so he suddenly said: "I have seen Zong Xuan's strength, and it is indeed terrifying. Now I am not as good as him. What about Zhang Chengzhen, who is number one on the dragon and tiger list? You have
If you haven’t fought against him, will you win or lose?”
Fang Qishao was stunned by Chu Xiu's question, and then his expression waned, and he snorted: "They are all monsters anyway, but Zhang Chengzhen is easier to talk to than Zong Xuan. Like Zong Xuan, he is basically
Unable to communicate."
Chu Xiu didn't say anything. He knew by looking at Fang Qishao's expression that he should have fought or sparred with Zhang Chengzhen, and he also lost, miserably.
Otherwise, if he can take advantage, Fang Qishao's character will be able to show off.
Speaking of Zhang Chengzhen, Chu Xiu seemed to have noticed that when he came to greet Master Tan Yuan this time, there was not even a warrior from a Taoist sect present, not to mention anyone from the Four Great Dao Sects.
But it’s normal to think about it. After all, Master Tan Yuan is a Buddhist holy monk, and the contradiction between Taoism and Buddhism has always existed. Even if Master Tan Yuan is now a famous saint monk with great virtues, no one from the Taoist sect will come forward.
Come and greet them, otherwise, wouldn’t it be destroying your own prestige?
So regarding this matter, Daomen simply pretended not to know about it, and no one even came.
And while everyone was waiting patiently on Yinglong Beach, on the sea in the distance, a giant ship came through the waves, with a lifelike giant whale embroidered on the sail.
This giant whale is the symbol of the Jingtianhui, the largest chamber of commerce among the dozens of islands in the East China Sea. The Jingtianhui travels between Dongqi and the East China Sea. Although it is not the largest force in the East China Sea, it is the most financially powerful chamber of commerce.
At this time, on the bow of the giant ship, an old monk stared at a black line of land, with a look of complexity and reminiscence in his eyes.
This old monk was really old, his eyebrows and beard were already gray, and the folds on his face looked like they could trap a fly.
He was only wearing an ordinary gray monk's robe with patches on it.
The only thing that is more eye-catching about his body is the string of Buddhist beads hanging around his neck. Its surface is extremely radiant, and the Buddha's light comes from itself. At first glance, it is not an ordinary thing.
This old monk is the world-famous Buddhist sect, and is regarded by the entire East China Sea as a figure like a Buddha among thousands of families, the holy monk Tan Yuan!
At this time, looking at the land of Dong Qi, Master Tan Yuan's heart was filled with countless emotions, but in the end they all turned into a long sigh.
The young man left home and his boss came back.
Master Tan Yuan was already quite young when he left Dong Qi, and when he returned he was not old, but almost dead.
In fact, Master Tan Yuan is not too old, he has just turned 100 this year.
The lifespan of a martial arts master is three hundred years. Even if Master Tan Yuan only stayed in the realm of true fire refining gods for one day, it would not be a problem for him to retain the three hundred years of life of a martial arts master.
But it is a pity that Master Tan Yuan has been spreading Buddhism in the East China Sea over the years and resolving hostility and hatred. However, he has often fought against others. Sometimes he even used his own strength to defeat a large force. For a long time, he has been covered with blood all over his body.
It was a hidden injury. Even though he still retains the strength of a martial arts master, his lifespan is close to being exhausted.
Master Tan Yuan, a martial arts master, ended up like this. It seemed a bit unworthy to outsiders, but in Master Tan Yuan's own opinion, he had never regretted it.
There must be something in this life that is worthy of your life. In the past, Master Tan Yuan traveled overseas in his middle age to spread Buddhism and resolve violence and hatred. At that time, even Master Tan Yuan himself was actually very confused.
After a hundred years of life, Master Tan Yuan spent the first half of his life very mediocre, with mediocre martial arts qualifications and mediocre Buddhist teaching qualifications. He was born in a small temple, and perhaps he will spend his whole life like this.
But I don’t know why, even Master Tan Yuan himself doesn’t know why he suddenly had the idea of going overseas.
Maybe it was an impulse, or maybe it was a thought that he had hidden deep in his heart for many years.
Nowadays, decades have passed. Although the overseas places have not been completely bathed in Buddhism, temples of various sizes have been established. Originally, there were endless conflicts of interests between the various islands, and many of the grievances were resolved by him.
The unknown monk Tan Yuan in the past has also become the current holy monk Tan Yuan.
Lowering his head and sighing, Master Tan Yuan took out a jade slip from his arms to play with.
This was something given to him by his good friend, Taoist Tianshu of Ling'ao Island in the East China Sea, to help him find disciples.
In fact, Master Tan Yuan is not that obsessed with martial arts. In martial arts, using force to stop fighting, Master Tan Yuan's hands have not been contaminated with human lives, but the people he has saved are more than those he has killed.
There are ten times or even a thousand times more people.
Therefore, when he was in the East China Sea, Master Tan Yuan never had time to look for his disciples. It was only now that he realized that his life was short, that he started to think about looking for his successor.
With Master Tan Yuan's reputation in the East China Sea, it was quite easy for him to find disciples, but unfortunately, he was not satisfied with any of these people.
Master Tan Yuan's requirements for his disciples are not very high. They don't have to be monks, they can be disciples of other sects, or they can even be Taoist priests.
But Master Tan Yuan's only hope is that his martial arts can be used to save people instead of killing people.
Things like good and evil cannot be seen just by looking at the appearance of reputation. Sometimes a single thought of a great evil person can save thousands of people. And among those young warriors in the East China Sea, Tan Yuan
However, the master only saw their dedication to martial arts, and the so-called good and evil were put to the end by them.
That’s why Master Tan Yuan planned to come to the Central Plains to return to his roots this time, and also choose a disciple.
It's just a pity that God doesn't have much time left for him, so even if there are outstanding people in the Central Plains, there is not much time left for him to choose and test himself.
That's why Tan Yuan asked Taoist Tianshu for such a jade slip.
Taoist Tianshu is a casual martial artist from Ling'ao Island in the East China Sea. He is very famous. Although he has the cultivation level of a martial arts master, what he is really famous for is his divine calculation skills.
It seems strange to others that a monk can become friends with a Taoist priest, but Master Tanyuan is a close friend with Taoist Tianshu. The two of them communicate and chat together, and they never have the views of Taoism and Buddhism. You are you,
The Buddha is the Buddha, and the Tao is the Tao. There is no relationship between the two parties. It can be said that both of them see it very clearly.
Taoist Tianshu was very sad when he learned that his old friend was about to die soon, so he used his strongest power to calculate the disciples who met Master Tanyuan's requirements and gave him four sentences of criticism:
The road is covered by a canopy of canopies, and the hidden dragon can hardly be guarded in the heart of the abyss.
Putting the finishing touches on the pen gathers the wind and clouds, like a moth rushing to the flame to turn the tide.
The meaning of the comment is very obvious. This time, the disciples that Master Tan Yuan wants should be from the imperial court. The two words covered by the canopy are the word "official". As long as they are officials, they are from the imperial court. This time Master Tan Yuan steps into
In the Central Plains, you will definitely meet a warrior who comes from the imperial court.
The hidden dragon in the abyss is hard to guard means that the opponent is still just a hidden dragon, he himself is not well-known, and even he himself does not know where he is heading.
The finishing touch and gathering the wind and cloud refers to Master Tan Yuan himself. He passed the skills to the other party, which is like the finishing touch, giving the other party the strength to gather the wind and cloud and be proud of the world.
And in the end, like a moth to the flame to turn the tide, it means that the other party will turn the tide like a moth to the flame and save thousands of people in the future when no one is optimistic about it.
Moreover, Taoist Tianshu was afraid that the comments were a little vague, causing Master Tanyuan to choose the wrong person, so Taoist Tianshu exchanged a mouthful of his blood essence for a vague heavenly secret, and sealed it in a jade slip. As long as Master Tanyuan
When you meet the person related to the criticism, Yu Jian will shine brightly. Double guarantee, you will never go wrong.
If Chu Xiu were here, he would almost understand why Master Tan Yuan chose Li Yuan in the end. This is cause and effect, and also fate.
Li Yuannai was from the Eastern Qi court. If he had survived this time, he would definitely have followed the prince to greet Master Tan Yuan. In this way, he would have fulfilled the first rule.
And Li Yuan himself is not well-known, so he is naturally a little confused about the way forward, which fits the second point.
The last two clauses refer to Li Yuan's future. After receiving the inheritance from Master Tan Yuan, he is indeed like the finishing touch, completely gathering the wind and clouds and soaring into the sky.
The last one refers to the fact that when the Eastern Qi Dynasty was weak and in danger, Li Yuan resisted the Northern Yan like a moth to a flame when no one was optimistic about it, and finally turned the tide and became the King of Zhenbei and the general of the Eastern Qi Dynasty.
.
And the reason why Taoist Tianshu deduced that the disciple was Li Yuan, whose hands were stained with blood in the later period, was because of cause and effect.
Cause and effect is a very mysterious thing. Even good and evil cannot be used to distinguish cause and effect. Sometimes you do a good thing, but it may lead to greater evil, and sometimes you kill a person, but you can save it.
more people.
If there is no Li Yuan to turn the tide for Dong Qi in the future, then Bei Yan will definitely attack Dong Qi. However, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. Dong Qi, which is in the hinterland of the Central Plains, will not be easily destroyed. It will definitely fight with Bei Yan to the end.
, and at that time Xi Chuze will definitely get involved and take advantage of the chaos to make profits.
If this happens, the Three Kingdoms War will happen again, and the world will be filled with blood.
And if Li Yuan is there to turn the tide, he can make Beiyan retreat in the face of difficulties, control the war to a certain extent, and not give Xichu a chance to intervene. In this way, although there will be casualties, there will be no survivors.
There will undoubtedly be more.
But in any case, Li Yuan's existence led to the reduction of killings in the Three Kingdoms. Although he killed many people, he also indirectly saved thousands of people. Therefore, in Tianshu Taoist's deduction, Li Yuan is undoubtedly very consistent.
