Taoist Nanhua showed a look of expectation on his face and said to Chu Yi: "Your Highness, this is also the wish of a poor Taoist. I hope your Highness can grant it!"
With the cultivation of the three of them, it can be said that they are standing at the pinnacle of the world. Even if Chu Yi uses the Luck Altar, he can only challenge one of them in a duel at most. But now these three powerful men at the pinnacle of the world are begging.
If someone knew about it, they would probably think it was just a joke.
Looking across the three of them, Chu Yi said slowly: "In that case, the three Taoist priests will stay."
Hearing that Chu Yi agreed to their request, the three people's faces showed joy. For them, the biggest desire is to pursue and explore the great road, and Chu Yi is like a bottomless pool.
In general, especially those Taoist theories that Chu Yi said came from later generations and were perfected by generations of Taoist masters, it was an irresistible temptation for the three of them. Otherwise, how could the three of them plead so regardless of their status and face?
Chu Yi.
As the leader of the Five Pecks of Rice Cult, Zhang Lu is a leader in the contemporary era in terms of political means and cultivation, not to mention his preaching ability. You can see Zhang Lu's strength by looking at how he built the huge Hanzhong into a country that integrates politics and religion.
The ability to preach and govern.
But at this moment, Zhang Lu left Hanzhong in person and went straight to the Taoist hermitage of Nanhua.
As a powerful person in the Taoist sect, Zhang Lu followed the path of being in the world. Compared with Nanhua Taoists, Yu Ji, Zuo Ci and others who were aloof from the world, Zhang Lu chose another path.
Although the paths are different, the paths lead to the same destination. Zhang Lu discussed the Dao with Nan Hua, Yu Ji, and Zuo Ci on more than one occasion and called them fellow Taoists.
In Zhang Lu's view, based on his friendship with the three people, since he had spoken in person, the three people would definitely not refute his face.
If he could invite three people to come out, and he also contacted Master Zixu, together with him, there would be five peerless experts.
Even if Chu Yi has peerless generals like Huang Zhong, Lu Bu, Guan Yu, and Dian Wei under his command, he is not without confidence to fight against them.
Zhang Lu, with fluttering clothes, was walking in the air, looking very much like an immortal. If he fell into the eyes of ordinary people, they would definitely worship him and regard him as an immortal.
Zhang Lu has a majestic appearance and refined temperament, which can be said to be an excellent appearance.
Zhang Lu stopped in the distance and looked down at the inconspicuous canyon in front of him. If Zhang Lu had not been in contact with Nanhua Taoist people, he would never have thought that Nanhua Taoist people were living in seclusion in this unknown valley.
.
Just like Chu Yi came first to look for Taoist Nanhua, compared to the elusive Zuo Ci and Yu Ji, it was easier to find Taoist Nanhua who at least had a place to stay.
After straightening his clothes, Zhang Lu took a deep breath and said loudly toward the valley in front of him: "Zhang Lute of Five Pecks of Rice is here to visit Taoist fellow Nanhua!"
In the valley, when Chu Yi was looking at the three Nanhua Taoists who were immersed in Taoism, Zhang Lu's voice suddenly came from outside the valley.
Hearing that voice, Chu Yi couldn't help but froze for a moment, and looked at Taoist Nanhua, Yu Ji, and Zuo Ci.
Taoist Nanhua actually woke up when Zhang Lu appeared outside the valley. After all, with the current level of cultivation of Taoist Nanhua, Zhang Lu did not hide his aura, and appeared outside the valley as if he were in the dark night.
It's as eye-catching as a candle flame. If you can't even notice this, Nanhua Taoist monks and others will have cultivated such a profound realm in vain.
Taoist Nanhua opened his eyes, first saluted Chu Yi, then stood up and said towards the outside of the valley: "Since Taoist friend is here, come in and talk!"
Although he was sure that this was the place where Taoist Nanhua would stay, Zhang Lu was quite worried about Taoist Nanhua's absence. When he heard Taoist Nanhua's reply, he couldn't help but smile a little.
Zhang Lu took one step forward and appeared in the sky above the valley across a distance of a hundred feet. At the same time, his body swayed and he appeared in the canyon.
A figure appeared in Zhang Lu's sight. Who could it be if it wasn't Taoist Nanhua?
However, when he saw Taoist Nanhua, Zhang Lu also noticed a few people around Taoist Nanhua. Of course, Zhang Lu was no stranger to Yu Ji and Zuo Ci, and he recognized them on the spot.
When he saw the two of them, Zhang Lu couldn't help but show a look of surprise on his face. He originally planned to contact the two of them through the relationship between Taoist Nanhua, but he never thought that the two of them would be here at Taoist Nanhua. Really
What's more, it doesn't take much effort to get it even if you have to go through iron shoes and find nowhere.
As for Chu Yi on the side, Zhang Lu just glanced at him. After all, Zhang Lu had never met Chu Yi before, so he naturally didn't know Chu Yi's identity.
Taking a few steps forward, Zhang Lu said with a smile on his face: "I never thought that Yu Ji and my two Taoist friends Zuo Ci are here, but it couldn't be better."
Nanhua Taoist looked at Zhang Lu and said with a smile: "Oh, I don't know if you are here to seek poverty, but what's the matter?"
Zhang Lu stroked his beard and said with a serious expression: "Zhang came here to ask three people to come out to help and eliminate a scourge for the people of the world."
Taoist Nanhua couldn't help but look a little surprised when he heard this and said, "Oh, why did you say this, fellow Taoist? Could it be that some evildoer has been born in the world?"
Zhang Lu said seriously: "It's not a monster, but the harm it does is worse than that of a monster."
As he spoke, Zhang Lu looked at the three Taoists from Nanhua and said, "You three Taoists must have heard of Chu Yi. I am here to ask these three Taoists to come out and get rid of this treacherous person for the common people in the world..."
"
Suddenly, strange looks appeared on the faces of the three Taoist priests from Nanhua. Even Yu Ji and Zuo Ci couldn't help but secretly look at Chu Yi who was standing aside.
Chu Yi also glanced at Zhang Lu in surprise. He had no grudge against Zhang Lu. He was not even ready to deal with Zhang Lu who was entrenched in Hanzhong. He never thought that Zhang Lu was already thinking about it.
Find someone to deal with you.
It can be said that after Zhang Lu finished speaking, the scene suddenly fell into a strange situation. Zhang Lu was so keen. He saw the reactions of Nanhua Taoist, Zuo Ci, and Yu Ji in his eyes. Naturally, Zhang Lu noticed the expressions of the three people.
No, but he couldn't figure out why the three of them reacted like this. It seemed like he didn't say anything wrong.
Just when Zhang Lu was filled with doubts, Chu Yi, who had been standing there silently, coughed slightly and said in front of Zhang Lu's astonished eyes: "Master Zhang, I wonder if Chu has offended the Heavenly Master in any way?"
"ah!"
With an exclamation, even with Zhang Lu's determination, Chu Yi was so surprised that he subconsciously took a step back. At the same time, he opened his eyes wide and looked at Chu Yi in disbelief and trembled: "You... you are actually the King of Chu, Chu Yi
?”
Chu Yi nodded slowly and said, "Does it mean that someone dares to pretend to be Chu?"
After confirming Chu Yi's identity, Zhang Lu's face suddenly became extremely ashamed. He actually recruited people to deal with him in front of him. The key is that he didn't know anything about it. Thinking about it, Zhang Lu wanted to slap him in front of him.
A crack opened in the ground so that he could hide.
The scene was really too embarrassing at this moment, especially under the watchful eyes of Zuo Ci, Yu Ji, and Nanhua Taoist priests. Zhang Lu finally suppressed his inner turmoil by relying on his profound Taoist foundation, and faced Chu Yigong.
He cupped his hands and said, "I am a poor man, but I never thought that King Chu would not recognize him in person. Please forgive me if I am rude."
There is nothing wrong with Zhang Lu's own upbringing. After all, as the direct grandson of Heavenly Master Zhang Daoling and a powerful Taoist sect, Zhang Lu is definitely the most orthodox in terms of etiquette, which is not inferior to those of the rich and powerful families with profound heritage.
Nanhua Taoist opened his mouth and said to Zhang Lu: "Do you have any misunderstandings about Your Highness? Your Highness's views on Taoism are even far superior to those of the three of us. He even guided the three of us to break through the bottleneck and get a glimpse of the scenery of a higher realm..."
"What!"
Zhang Lu couldn't help but exclaimed. He was obviously stunned by what Nanhua Taoist said, and then he looked at the three of them intently. After a quick look, Zhang Lu realized that the three of them gave him quite a different feeling.
"You...you actually stepped into the legendary Tianzhu Realm?"
Zhang Lu couldn't help but remember that his ancestor had also entered the Tianzhu Realm in the past. In order to delay his transformation, he chose to go into seclusion, and he has been unable to escape from it since then.
Nearly a hundred years have passed, and Zhang Lu almost forgot that he still had an ancestor who was in retreat. At this moment, Nanhua Taoist priests, Yu Ji, and Zuo Ci gave him a slightly different feeling than Zhang Daoling.
, but they are essentially the same, which makes Zhang Lu believe that the three of them are not deceiving him.
Thinking of the Dao transformation that the Tianzhu realm was about to face, Zhang Lu couldn't help but look at the three of them and said: "When the three Taoists set foot in the Tianzhu realm, doesn't it mean that Dao transformation may return to heaven and earth at any time?"
Nanhua Taoist smiled slightly and said: "With our strength, there is no problem in suppressing Taoism temporarily, but returning to heaven and earth is our destination after all, it is nothing more than sooner or later."
Zhang Lu was obviously stimulated by the news of the three people's breakthrough. He even forgot the purpose of his coming here. Hearing this, he couldn't help but sigh: "My ancestor also said this before he went into seclusion. I didn't know that my ancestor
Whether you have blocked the erosion of Taoism now, you are still alive!"
When Nanhua Taoist heard Zhang Lu mention Zhang Daoling, he couldn't help but admired: "With the profoundness of Zhang Tianshi's Taoism, it may not be impossible to resist the erosion of Taoism."
Chu Yi, who was on the side, couldn't help but feel confused while listening to the conversation between Zhang Lu and Nanhua Taoist. He originally thought that in this world, the peak of the Heavenly King would already be the most powerful existence, but after some discussion, he created a
Three powerful men who have set foot in the Tianzhu Realm.
That's fine, but now listening to what Zhang Lu and Nanhua Taoist said, Zhang Daoling, the first-generation Celestial Master who opened up the Celestial Master's Way, is probably still alive, and Chu Yi couldn't help but marvel at it.
However, it is not unreasonable to think about it. For someone as talented and beautiful as Zhang Daoling, it is absolutely not too much to overestimate the other party. Nanhua Taoists can resist Daohua to a certain extent and delay the arrival of Daohua. So,
As a Taoist sect that took hundreds of years to acquire a great talent, how could it be possible that there was no way to resist Taoism?
Of course, as Zhang Lu said, Zhang Daoling may still be alive, or he may not have blocked the Tao transformation and has already transformed into the Tao and passed away.
Chu Yi's eyes fell on Zhang Lu and he slowly said: "The Heavenly Master may have listened to Liu Yan's deception."
He finally changed the subject, and was mentioned by Chu Yi again. Zhang Lu was embarrassed, but he still nodded and said: "The king of Chu was laughed at. To be honest with you, it was Liu Yizhou who sent someone to persuade Pindao to contact Nanhua.
, Yu Ji and several fellow Taoists deal with His Highness."
Zuo Ci couldn't help laughing and said: "What a Liu Yizhou. He doesn't know the destiny of the heavens. He just wants to be the king. He actually wants to go against the heavens. Don't you know that with His Highness here, the strength of a man will flourish, and the dead trees will spring again?"
It is not difficult to pass on a few Jiazi."
Yu Ji said to Zhang Lu: "Friend Zhang, the inheritance of Tianshi Mansion is not easy. Don't make any mistakes or ruin the inheritance of Tianshi Mansion."
Zuo Ci, Yu Ji and others could naturally see that the reason why Zhang Lu was persuaded by Liu Yan was simply because he was worried that the imperial court would attack the Hanzhong land he occupied. Of course, the more important thing was the Five Pecks of Rice religion he spread.
With the precedent of the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the imperial court would never condone the spread of the Five Dou Rice Cult. Therefore, once Hanzhong was controlled by the imperial court, the Wu Dou Rice Cult would definitely bear the brunt and be suppressed by the imperial court.
Not to mention Zhang Lu, if they were in Zhang Lu's position, they would probably choose to take a chance just like Zhang Lu.
But at this moment, they were trying to persuade Zhang Lu. Not to mention anything else, even if it was for the sake of Zhang Daoling, the first-generation Heavenly Master, they had to persuade Zhang Lu to follow the time of heaven.
Zhang Lu is not a fool. Why can't he see that Zuo Ci, Nan Hua and Yu Ji are clearly on Chu Yi's side? What else can he do besides feeling bitter in his heart? Do you want him to go back and invite his ancestors to fight with Nan Hua?
Didn't the last one work?
Not to mention whether Zhang Daoling is still alive, even if he is, I am afraid it is not something he can control. Zhang Lu is not a fool. He quickly figured out the situation he was in, sighed in his heart, and then turned to Chu Yi respectfully.
He bowed down and said: "Zhang Lu, the prefect of Hanzhong, pays homage to His Highness. I am willing to return to the imperial court with everyone from Hanzhong County."
Chu Yi nodded slightly and glanced at Zhang Lu with satisfaction. Hanzhong can be said to be the gateway to Yizhou. Now that Zhang Lu has brought Hanzhong to join him, it means that the door to Yizhou is open. I don't know if he is still thinking of uniting.
What was Zhang Lu's expression like when he was confronting Liu Yan, the king of Han in the imperial court?
Seeing Zhang Lu make a choice, Nan Hua, Yu Ji, and Zuo Ci couldn't help but nodded, and said to Zhang Lu with a smile on their faces: "Zhang Daoyou finally found his way back and returned to the right path. You might as well do this in the future."
Generally speaking, the right path for us is to follow His Highness and practice Taoism."
