This is an old man with a thin body, a white face and a beard.
Although he is wearing coarse linen clothes similar to those of an old farmer in the countryside, he exudes an ethereal aura. Even an ordinary person can tell by looking at him that this is by no means an ordinary person!
The eyes of this old man in sackcloth were gentle and bright, seeming to sparkle with the light of wisdom.
But the most surprising thing is that his face... is very similar to Wu Binye. Even if someone who doesn't know them looks at the two, they will think that they are father and son! They are so similar.
It's just that one is young and the other is old.
Of course they cannot be father and son, because... they are the same person!
Therefore, when Wu Binye saw the old man chopping wood turning around, his pupils suddenly narrowed and his body trembled involuntarily. Then he said in a deep voice: "Tao Hongjing! It is indeed you."
If other people were here, they would probably be petrified on the spot when they heard Wu Binye say this name. Whether it is for practitioners in the supernatural world or ordinary people, the name Tao Hongjing is definitely thunderous and shocking.
Tao Hongjing, whose courtesy name is Tongming, was a native of Moling, Danyang during the Liang Dynasty in the Southern Dynasties, and his name was Huayang Reclusive. All this information is known to ordinary people. And in the legends of the supernatural world, he is the one who actually formulated the rules and regulations of the Maoshan sect, from Sansha style to
The alliance becomes the founder of the sect!
The Maoshan sect has a long history, but before Tao Hongjing, they relied on common beliefs and the same source of magic schools to maintain their friendship. To put it simply, everyone practiced Taoism together in Maoshan, watching and helping each other.
But when Tao Hongjing came here, he gathered all the monks from the same origin in the Maoshan area and formed a real sect with rules, systems, and a top-down system.
Therefore, although Tao Hongjing's strength may not be as strong as some of the older Maoshan ancestors such as Ge Hong, Sanmao Zhenjun, but he contributed a lot to the Maoshan sect's final cohesion into a whole. It also laid the foundation for the Maoshan sect to become the three giants of Taoism.
…
As far as the Maoshan sect is concerned, the ancestors of Maoshan after the pre-Qin period, among them Sanmao Zhenjun is the source of the name of Maoshan, Ge Hong is the founder of the sect, and Tao Hongjing is the founding ancestor of the sect! They all have a respected status and are remembered by their disciples.
But when Wu Binye saw Tao Hongjing, he was only irritated and angry, and did not have the respect that a normal Maoshan sect member would have. Because... he himself is the reincarnation of Tao Hongjing!
This huge secret is only known to Wu Binye himself and the current headmaster of Maoshan.
Ever since Wu Binye could remember, whenever he went to bed at night, he would always dream of all kinds of strange and strange scenes... which frightened him in his childhood and often caused him to suffer from insomnia all night long.
His talent for practicing Taoism has been extremely amazing since he was a child. Under the personal guidance of Master Maoshan, it can be said that he has made rapid progress with each passing day!
As his age and magic power grew, Wu Binye also gradually guessed some clues. Until the day he came of age at the age of eighteen, the headmaster of Maoshan told him the secret - he was the reincarnation of Tao Hongjing, the founder of the Maoshan sect.
Moreover, Master Maoshan guessed that Tao Hongjing's reincarnation was not due to death or being forced, but to reincarnation on his own initiative. There should be some huge secrets involved, but he had no way of knowing. He could only let Wu Binye explore on his own.
At that time, Wu Binye felt that the sky was falling...
He has always had a strong personality, competitive spirit, and strong self-awareness since he was a child. A person with such a character was suddenly told by his senior brother, who could actually be regarded as his adoptive father, that he was the reincarnation of another ancient power! This made
Wu Binye found it difficult to accept it for a while.
Moreover, as his cultivation level continued to improve, Wu Binye found that the various images he dreamed about every night became clearer and more numerous! And there seemed to be a voice gradually in his heart, a strange and unexplainable feeling.
Describe the feeling.
He knew that some memories and consciousness belonging to Tao Hongjing might have begun to revive in his body...
This is something Wu Binye’s character cannot tolerate!
Therefore, he left Maoshan in anger more than ten years ago and lived in the city for a long time. He founded a group company and became involved in the financial industry as a businessman. He rarely paid attention to the affairs of the supernatural world and the Maoshan sect... Until later, he met Mo Yuqi and
Fu Yang and the others experienced some things and had some changes in their temperament, and then they started to practice again. Soon they went from being a real person in Wulu to reaching the current state of being a disciple for the seventh time!
Just as Wu Binye had guessed before, when he succeeded in enthroning for the seventh time, he finally saw his previous life... Tao Hongjing, who had always existed in his body!
Now, he was standing in front of him.
Wu Binye was in a complicated mood, his eyes flickered, his fists were clenched, and he didn't know what to do next.
It is very rare for such emotions and behaviors to appear in him, a domineering president in the business world, a powerful psychic, and a high-level executive of the specific sect.
Tao Hongjing, who was dressed like an old farmer in the mountains, seemed very happy to see him. He just said lightly as if he were seeing a friend: "Are you here? Sit down. Are you interested in accompanying the old man to see the scenery?"
His voice seemed to have a magical soothing power. It made Wu Binye, who was originally uneasy and even wanted to get angry, calm down a little.
Then he sat on his own under the old tree that was being cut down just now, facing the undulating mountains in front of him - Damao Peak is the highest peak of the entire Maoshan Mountains. Looking out from here, the surrounding mountains are undulating like a group of dragons.
Swimming, the earth's energy is strong and full. It is indeed a geomantic treasure!
Coupled with the cloudy and foggy weather, it makes it look like a Taoist fairy mountain or a paradise in the cave...
Wu Binye did not refuse, but gave the other party a cold look. Then he slowly walked over and sat down next to Tao Hongjing.
Two figures, an old man and a young man, both looked at the undulating sea of clouds in front of them without speaking.
a long time.
Tao Hongjingcai spoke as if talking to himself: "It is said that many years ago, San Mao Zhenjun and his three brothers ascended to immortality from here. Hundreds of years ago, Patriarch Ge Hong also observed the sea of clouds here to enlightenment, and made a breakthrough in one fell swoop.
I have reached the realm of Taoist ancestors where the Seven Stars Shine God. I think this Big Maofeng is very good, so I gather people here and establish rules. All the Taoists in the Maoshan Mountains within a hundred miles of radius will be integrated into one body. The Maoshan Sect will no longer be a piece of scattered sand..."
Wu Binye frowned and interrupted him.
"I know you are very powerful. You have officially created the Maoshan sect. No need to brag, I don't care about this. I just want to know, what do you mean by bringing me here? You intend to formally annex my consciousness and occupy this body of mine.
Will the body be resurrected? I... don’t want to be you!"
He still couldn't hold back the anger in his heart.
Because in Wu Binye's view, since Tao Hongjing is already an ancient, he should die in an honest manner. What kind of reincarnation is there?
