Chapter 903 The Taoist Master came out of the mountain, and the three martial arts destroyed the Bud
(It’s not easy to code, so I beg you to subscribe and support me. Thank you all!)
After understanding the ins and outs, Li Xiao finally had an idea.
Go down the mountain to slay demons.
This is the task assigned to them by the Heavenly Master.
And this is also related to the test of the next generation of Celestial Master candidates.
As the leader among the disciples of Longhu Mountain, Zhang Yingshao looked eager to try, as if he was bound to win.
As for Li Xiao, this is not the case.
You must know that in the Shushan Legend plane, he became a sect.
For Li Xiao, who longs for freedom, he doesn't like such restrictions. A life of leisure and freedom is more suitable for him.
However, Li Xiao did not immediately refuse the instruction from the Heavenly Master.
Li Xiao has just arrived and is not too familiar with this aspect. It would be a good choice to take this opportunity to go down the mountain and travel around to learn more about this world.
After all, due to the length, what is shown in the movie world is just the tip of the iceberg. Just the snake demon clan has a lot of background, not to mention the three thousand avenues, the vastness of the world, and other cultivation achievements.
There are countless monsters and monsters.
Although there are many demons, humans still dominate as the spirits of all things.
Otherwise, the snake demon clan would not be in a passive situation.
In the hall.
Just when Li Xiao's mind was flooded with thoughts.
Little did they know that the old Heavenly Master, who was sitting on the Grand Master's chair, was tapping the armrest with his withered fingers. At the same time, his deep eyes swept over Li Xiao and Zhang Yingshao, and he was also observing the changes in their expressions.
"Old Master, please give me your instructions for this trial down the mountain."
Zhang Yingshao said to the old Heavenly Master, with a bit of eagerness, and glanced at Li Xiao intentionally or unintentionally.
Although Li Xiao was not very interested in the position of Heavenly Master this time, he looked directly at the old Heavenly Master, waiting for the other party's response.
"Ying Shao, although you are a senior brother, my master's temperament is still so impatient and impatient, far less calm and calm than A Xiaolai."
The old Heavenly Master looked slightly reproachful.
"This... Ying Shao just wants to fulfill the master's instructions as soon as possible. Please don't blame me, master."
As soon as he heard that the old master compared himself with Li Xiao, Zhang Yingshao's eyes flashed with a gloomy look. Although he was a little dissatisfied, he did not dare to contradict him and could only laugh.
This scene fell into Li Xiao's eyes, but he smiled indifferently: "As the saying goes, it takes ten years to sharpen a sword. I am a Taoist who hides in the mountains in prosperous times and brings peace in troubled times. Please give me a clear explanation from the master."
This trial allowed Li Xiao to test the value of force in this dimension.
First test how deep the water is, make a rough judgment, and then plan carefully how to complete the tasks issued by the system.
"Well said...according to reports from my disciples, there have been rumors of evil spirits causing trouble in hn and hb recently. For this trial, the two of you will rush to these two places to quell the evil spirits there."
After stroking his silver beard, the Heavenly Master said slowly.
"Disciple, obey."
After hearing the old Heavenly Master's instruction, Li Xiao and Zhang Yingshao nodded in agreement and then left the Heavenly Master's Mansion.
Not long after Li Xiao and Zhang Yingshao left, the old Tianshi, who was sitting on the Taishi chair, no longer concealed his haggard expression, covered his heart and coughed violently several times.
When he opened his palms, faint traces of blood could be seen.
After being stunned for a moment, the old master closed his eyes as if nothing had happened, and seemed to have regained his previous expression, as if nothing had happened.
…
After tidying up for a while, Li Xiao came to the mountain gate.
At the same time, Zhang Yingshao arrived outside the mountain gate one step ahead. He waved to Li Xiao and said with a serious smile: "Junior brother, there are many evil spirits at the moment. Don't be caught by the monsters, otherwise you will be like this." It’s a pity to have only one cultivation level.”
After the words fell, Zhang Yingshao shook his gray Taoist robe.
A paper crane flew out from the sleeves of the robe, lifelike, with wings spread out under its ribs, and stripes of lines spread out, exuding a silvery luster.
After Zhang Yingshao straightened his hair and crown, he jumped onto the paper crane.
Accompanied by a chirping sound, the paper crane suddenly vibrated, holding both hands, as if it were alive, and fled towards the north of Longhu Mountain.
"Humph, you'd better wish for yourself."
Looking at Zhang Yingshao's leaving figure, Li Xiao shook his head and didn't pay much attention to it. With a thought in his mind, the Immortal Killing Sword confidently floated to the soles of his feet, summoning Xiaoqiang to stand on the Immortal Killing Sword together, and then turned into a sword as graceful as a thunderous giant. The light disappeared into the clouds.
…
…
High in the sky.
The whistling air flow blew past Li Xiao's face. Li Xiao flew with his sword, like a fast horse, shuttling between the rolling clouds at will, overlooking the scenery under his feet, and was flying backwards quickly. Going backwards.
The lake is shining and the mountains are towering.
The grass is long and the orioles are flying, and it is full of vitality.
A beautiful landscape painting unfolded in the eyes of Li Xiao and Xiaoqiang.
With his exquisite sword flying, Li Xiao can fly several miles away with just a cup of tea.
From between the clouds, overlooking the scene of the human world.
The exaggerated vision spreads out, taking in countless scenes.
Li Xiao said to Xiaoqiang: "Xiaoqiang, have you discovered anything?"
Following Li Xiao's line of sight, Xiao Qiang seemed to have sensed something: "Between these mountains, many destroyed temples can be seen everywhere, leaving only ruins, as if they had undergone large-scale demolition. On the contrary, those Taoist temples have not been affected, the incense is still there, the green smoke lingers in front of the temple, and Taoism is flourishing."
After listening to Xiaoqiang's words, Li Xiao nodded and said: "It is true. The mountains and rivers here are intertwined and the bells and bells are beautiful. This is the best place to build a Buddhist temple, but the current scene is obviously influenced by Emperor Wuzong of the Tang Dynasty who exterminated Buddhism. The impact of the incident can be said to be far-reaching.”
In fact, the development of Buddhism in ancient times was not smooth sailing. There were also turbulences when the Three Warriors exterminated Buddhism. Emperor Taiwu of the Northern Wei Dynasty exterminated Buddhism, Emperor Wu of the Northern Zhou Dynasty exterminated Buddhism, and Emperor Wuzong of the Tang Dynasty exterminated Buddhism. These three events were collectively called. Their posthumous names are or The temple names all have the character "武". If the name of "The Exterminator of the Buddha" during the reign of Emperor Shizong of the Later Zhou Dynasty is added, it is collectively referred to as "Three Martial Arts and One Sect of the Exterminator of the Buddha"."
At the time of the Huichang Fa Incident, Emperor Wuzong of the Tang Dynasty ordered a nationwide campaign to destroy Buddhism. Monks and nuns were ordered to return to secular life, with or without ultimatums; all temples were destroyed; all bronze statues and bells in abandoned temples were turned over to salt and iron. The salesmen were melted down to make money, and the iron was delivered to the state to be cast into agricultural tools."
Now is the period of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty. Although decades have passed since the Huichang tribulation during the period of Emperor Wuzong of the Tang Dynasty, the influence is still there, which is why the scene before us was created.
