The national teacher does not practice

"National Preceptor? National Preceptor?"

In the Zen courtyard, Monk Xueting, who was tied in a chair, looked at Ji Ping'an who suddenly stood motionless on the spot with confusion, and couldn't help but call out.

At this moment, although the person in front of him did not make any movement, for some reason, Ji Pingan's aura seemed to have undergone earth-shaking changes.

"I figured something out," Ji Ping'an came back to his senses and said with a smile, "Thank you very much, the whole of Kyushu will be grateful to you."

Xueting was confused. He obviously didn't understand why the National Master would suddenly express his gratitude to him.

Little did he know that his casual words actually helped Ji Pingan break the shackles that Tao Zun had set in his mind.

Yes!

As Xue Ting said, with Ji Ping'an's accumulation, he could actually advance to the rank of Red Dust Immortal. It was just because of the existence of the formation above his head that it covered his eyes.

Of course, this won't allow him to have an instant enlightenment or breakthrough, but the situation that was almost certain to fail has been reversed at this moment!

More importantly, Ji Ping'an finally confirmed one thing, that is: he himself is safe!

The Taoist Master may be latent in anyone's consciousness, but not in him.

Because if he himself had been invaded silently, there would be no need for Dao Zun to dig a hole for him and set up this shackles.

At the same time, when he broke this shackles and completely gave up on obtaining the mortal magic from the polar regions, it meant that he would not be fooled.

At this moment, Ji Pingan once again thought of the three-body story he had seen many years ago.

He suddenly realized that since Tao Zun had taken such pains to set up such shackles to prevent the birth of a new practice system, it just showed that this was what they feared the most.

They are worried that the founder of the sect will appear in future generations and take that step.

That's why the Taoist Lord spread doubts, and that's why the Great Demon beguiled Yuan Qing to suppress Qin Tianjian. So half a year ago, Lord Buddha suddenly wanted to kill the "National Master" at a huge cost...

It all made sense.

"I see!"

Ji Ping'an suddenly felt enlightened. The mountain that had been weighing on his heart for the past few days, the fog that couldn't be cleared away, and the unclear chess game all suddenly became clear.

At this moment, he raised his hand to calculate gently, and an illusory astrolabe suddenly appeared around him. The mysterious shadow enveloped the entire Zen courtyard and began to spin crazily.

Then, as if the Four Saints hidden in the dark sensed his "awakening", the iceberg hidden under the water suddenly surfaced.

A strong throbbing suddenly rose up. Ji Ping'an raised his head, looked at the sunlit sky, and suddenly murmured in a low voice:

"Only for today."

His body suddenly collapsed into starlight and disappeared.

Xue Ting, who was sitting on the chair, also raised his head at the same time, his eyes widened, as if he felt some kind of fear that made him tremble.

His originally clear eyes instantly became cloudy, and his body struggled wildly, with bells ringing.

He even fell down, and the chair fell to the ground with it, making a huge noise.

The monks waiting outside the courtyard finally couldn't bear it anymore and took a huge risk to push open the courtyard door, but the figure of the "National Master" was no longer visible.

He quickly ran to Xue Ting who had fallen to the ground, was shocked, and helped him up:

"Abbot! Abbot! Are you okay..."

Xueting's eyes were red and her face was pale. She kept repeating:

"They are here, they are back..."

……

……

Lanzhou, outside Yuhang City.

The once empty wilderness is now filled with tent camps.

A few days ago, as the God Emperor's decree was issued, troops officially began to gather. The imperial army and the immortal masters of the five major sects began to gather and gather.

It was like a fist that was suddenly clenched and pulled back, about to launch the most violent attack on the enemy.

In the camp, two figures were walking. When the soldiers along the way saw them, they all saluted and shouted: "General."

Wei Qingqing, who had changed out of her mourning clothes and now looked like a monk, looked at the endless soldiers, smiled and looked at Wei Wuji, who was wearing armor and had a handsome appearance, and said:

"Husband, how does it feel to lead an army again?"

The reunion of the two couples happened within this six months.

When Wei Qingqing joined Qintian Prison, it was because Ji Ping'an promised to help her find Wei Wuji. However, after the death of the national master, he was found by chance.

Of course, Wei Wuji also joined the Qintianjian camp. As the former number one general in the Daqian Dynasty, the God Emperor had long been eyeing him.

After taking back the imperial power, in order to control the Ministry of War as soon as possible, the Emperor dismissed a large number of generals from the Yuanqing era and activated a group of old generals headed by Chen Xuanwu who had reunited one after another in the past six months.

Wei Wuji was also promoted by the God Emperor and regained military power.

"Mother Nature plays tricks on people."

Wei Wuji held his wife's hand and sighed with emotion. In the past, he defected to the God Emperor and was assassinated. Who would have thought that now, by chance, the story that had been interrupted back then would be continued.

"Indeed, the slave family never expected that when they woke up from a dream, it would be like this." Wei Qingqing sighed, and then thinking about the current situation, she couldn't help but worry again:

"It's just that I wanted to live a peaceful life, but things didn't work out."

Wei Wuji looked resolute and was about to say a few words of relief when suddenly, a rapid horn sound came from the distance, which was the horn of the enemy's approach.

Wei Wuji's expression suddenly changed, and he suddenly jumped up into the air. Looking into the distance, he saw billowing smoke rising suddenly in the distance ahead.

There was even a Taoist monk covered in blood who roared over on a crane and fell straight from the sky. He vomited blood and shouted:

"Buddhism is coming, the army is pressing down on the territory, Buddhism has used great power to tear open a gap in space, and the main army of the Southern Tang Dynasty is about to arrive!"

As the news was sent out, the entire military camp outside Yuhang City quickly gathered into a defensive formation. Countless monks in the city were also alerted and were shocked and surprised.

They didn't expect that before Da Zhou's fist could hit them, the enemy would take the initiative to attack.

Moreover, the other party actually directly attacked the Yuhang base camp. This was obviously an extremely crazy and irrational move.

"Buddhism is crazy! If they fight like this, aren't they looking for death?"

When Ye Hongling walked up to the city, she was so proud that it was hard to believe.

The female warrior is now the guard of the city. As soon as she walked onto the city wall, she saw that the walls were already full of monks.

Chen Xuanwu, Jiang Chunqiu, Pei Wuju, Qi Nian, Sanqing Guanzhu, Huang He, Luo Huaizhu... a dense crowd of practitioners, all holding weapons at this moment, looking towards the horizon in the distance.

I saw smoke and dust rising on the horizon, like waves of earth rushing in.

Those were countless soldiers and horses of the Southern Tang Dynasty.

There is also a famous monk soldier mixed in among them, and in the sky, there is also a Buddhist statue, reflecting each other.

A monk who looked like an iron tower was as huge as a mountain. Every step he took caused the earth to shake, which was extremely frightening.

"The head of the Luohan Hall!" Someone recognized the person. He was the only Shenzang monk in the Buddhist sect.

Shenzang personally led the troops to attack the city, which seemed to be the momentum for a decisive battle.

"Where is the Beast Control Sect? Why didn't they stop it in advance?" Some people found it hard to understand.

Suddenly, a ray of starlight fell from the top of the city and turned into the figure of Qin Tian Jian Zheng. The old Jian Zheng looked solemn and said:

"I just received news that there is a big problem in the Beast Control Sect. All the pet beasts, including the fire phoenix, are out of control and rioting. Now Master Qi, Master Xu and the others are trying their best to control the situation and have no time to separate."

Pet beast riot...

"It's a demon!" Suddenly, flying swords spun around and condensed into a fiery red Taoist robe. Wei Huayang walked to him with a long sword in hand and said:

"The pet beast is a demon, I'm afraid it's the blood of the demon ancestor that is causing trouble."

Jian Zheng's demeanor changed: "What do you mean..."

Wei Huayang didn't squint his eyes, and the sword intent on his body was concentrated like a thunderous wave:

"Didn't you realize that Lord Buddha is not here? I'm afraid that what Ji Ping'an was worried about has happened. These people are attacking like crazy to hold the people hostage, force us to fight with them, and drag us here, unable to get away to participate. decisive battle."

Jian Zheng was stunned for a moment, calculating silently, and then suddenly raised his head, looking at the sky that was gradually turning red, and realized something:

"The dome...is going to fall!"

……

…    Leizhou.

At the same time that Buddhism launched a general offensive, the soldiers and horses of the Great Zhou Dynasty guarding the front line of the confrontation with the Demon Kingdom also encountered the same situation.

When Xin Yaoguang, who was stationed here, flew to the top of the mountain, he saw countless demon clans in the distance, driving endless beasts and forming an army of beasts.

Led by hundreds of demon generals, they surged in overwhelmingly, just like a river bursting its banks on the plain. Wherever it passed, not a single blade of grass grew.

In the sky, there are also densely packed flying monsters, covering the sky and the sun, and there are also powerful auras radiating in all directions, like wolf smoke rising into the sky, gradually approaching.

"The great elders of the demon country have all come out!"

Among the monks gathered on the mountain, Qin Leyou's face turned pale, and the great elder of the demon kingdom were all tyrannical beings who were at least at the peak of Guantian. Moreover, because the demon clan's lifespan was extremely long, they each had some tricks to keep them under control.

They are stronger than the human race of the same level, and together they can fight even in the Shenzang Realm.

In order to prolong their lifespan, many great elders have kept themselves in a state of seclusion all year round. Now that they are out of the mountain together, they would rather waste their lifespan to fight like this...

"This is already the scale of a decisive battle!" Dean Chen, wearing a Confucian crown and Confucian robe, said solemnly.

Behind him, Mu Jiuyao and Xue Ji led a group of monks to come. The former's face was a little ugly, and countless purple flowers bloomed and died around him, which was extremely strange. Mu Jiuyao said with some pain:

"The blood of the Demon Ancestor... is stimulating the bloodthirst and murderous nature of our clan. Something is wrong, this is wrong..."

The expressions of Xin Yaoguang and Dean Chen changed, and they realized something at the same time:

"The leader of the demon kingdom is not here..."

"Oops!"

……

Zhongzhou.

On the official road, a huge military formation was walking on the ground like a long snake. The God-Emperor at the head was wearing armor and holding a bronze sword. He was already a formal military commander.

According to his plan, when he arrived in Lanzhou, it was time to launch a general offensive. But at this moment, the God Emperor suddenly changed his face and sensed that the fate of the Great Zhou Dynasty was in turmoil in all directions.

"what happened?!"

The God Emperor rose from the ground and flew in the air. He felt the wail coming from the dragon veins between heaven and earth in a daze. He vaguely realized something and raised his head suddenly!

……

Qingzhou.

A tsunami suddenly erupted in the East China Sea, which had been silent for hundreds of years. Huge waves that could swallow up the city rushed crazily towards the shore, and countless people fled in fear.

"Master Zhang, all the disciples have gathered!" The master of the Mo Pavilion arrived at the bamboo forest and looked at Zhang Sengyao who was sitting in the house and painting, and said.

Zhang Sengyao picked up his pen and stood up, with great calm on his face, looking at the densely packed painters and musicians outside the bamboo forest.

Said: "On this trip, we must stop the East China Sea."

Qu Chuchen, Zhong Tongjun and other disciples raised their hands and said, "No!"

Zhang Sengyao stepped out of the forest and threw up a painting with the fragrance of ink that he had just painted in his hand. In the blink of an eye, the scroll covered the sky and the sun. The painting actually showed the catastrophic scene on the border of the East China Sea at this moment.

One by one, the disciples jumped into the painting and reached the seaside. Zhang Sengyao was the last one to leave.

Before he stepped into the painting, he turned his head and glanced at Kamidu with a complicated expression:

"Li Yang, I can only help you save this state."

……

north.

On this day, the officers and soldiers of the Zhou Dynasty in Beiguan Prefecture were shocked to see that the barbarian king led the barbarian warriors to enter the territory of the Zhou Dynasty again after hundreds of years.

"Meet... the enemy!"

……

……

Gods.

In the small courtyard.

The setting sun passed through the branches and leaves of the big tree, hitting the wicker chairs in the courtyard, hitting the chessboard, and hitting Ji Ping'an's face lying among them.

The news of the decisive battle that suddenly broke out from all sides has not yet reached the divine capital.

This ancient capital is still peaceful and peaceful.

Vendors on the street began to pack up their things and go home, the city gates began to prepare to close, and the watchmen picked up gongs to prepare for the night.

Smoke curled up from the kitchen.

Ji Ping'an looked calm. On the table with the chessboard in front of him, there was a thick copy of "Tao Jing".

The "Tao Jing" was open, and the pages were frantically refreshing news. It was members of the group who were on various battlefields, and they were sending him urgent messages about the sudden outbreak of war through the Tao Jing.

The frequency of the messages was so rapid that it kept buzzing and flickering, but it didn't seem to disturb Ji Ping'an's mind at all.

He didn't even bother to take a look, he just sat half-lying and half-lying intently, looking at the extraordinarily red sky this evening.

Finally, the light dimmed, a light black color appeared in the red clouds, and then the stars in the sky suddenly became extremely bright.

The stars were bright before it got dark.

The endless stars began to twinkle and spin in Ji Ping'an's eyes, repeating rapidly one cycle after another.

Cycles that used to take hundreds, even thousands, of years to cycle began to accelerate crazily.

The rapidly rotating and moving trajectories of the starry sky turned into circles of halo, just like Van Gogh's "Starry Night".

"It's time." Ji Ping'an said suddenly.

Then, the Dao Sutra suddenly stopped vibrating, and an illusory figure suddenly emerged. She was wearing a strange witch robe, with a dull and beautiful face. She was the weapon spirit Jiang Jiang whom she had not seen for a long time.

Jiang Jiang was floating in the air, looking up at the "starry sky" above his head, with huge confusion on his face.

"What did you see?" Ji Ping'an asked.

Jiang Jiang said with a blank face: "I don't know, but something seems to be calling me, wanting to lead me to a place."

Ji Ping'an stood up, raised his hand and picked up the "Tao Jing" and said, "Guide me the direction."

"……it is good."

Immediately afterwards, Ji Ping'an disintegrated into starlight, wrapped in the Taoist scripture, and rushed into the sky. Following Jiang Jiang's guidance, he zigzagged forward in the huge, dynamic "star map" above his head, as if there were no rules.

Gradually, the world around him began to become illusory, and Ji Ping'an seemed to have entered a "crack" that was both in the real world and yet beyond the real world.

His body condensed and appeared in a sea of ​​clouds.

The sea of ​​clouds is boundless, and below is the land of Kyushu. There is a glow illuminating the sea of ​​clouds, but the sun cannot be seen.

In the glow, the sea of ​​clouds seems to be inlaid with gold edges.

Ji Ping'an held the Taoist scriptures, looked at Jiang Jiang floating beside him, and said, "Is this here?"

Jiang Jiang looked forward blankly and said, "Further ahead, in that palace."

When she spoke, there was nothing in the sea of ​​clouds, but when she finished speaking, Ji Ping'an saw a "palace" appearing in the distance.

A palace without a "roof".

If you have to find something similar, it would be an open-air circular stadium like the "Bird's Nest" or the Colosseum, but the architectural style is more in line with the current era, which is both ancient and has a certain strange beauty.

"Let's go over and take a look." Jiang Jiang suggested.

However, Ji Ping'an stood on the sea of ​​clouds and did not move. He just held the Taoist scriptures in his hands with a complicated expression and looked at Miss Qi Ling beside him. After being silent for a while, he sighed softly and said:

"Tao Zun...it turns out it's really you."

……

It's really coming to an end, tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, this story should come to an end (end of this chapter)
