Xuanjian Xianzu

Chapter 1080 Three Three
Di Yan looked calm and stared at him silently.

After hearing what Di Yan said to this point, Li Ximing finally took it to heart. With his experience, he could not find any mistakes in Di Yan's words, and he could even understand the logic behind them.

'He is determined to seek the leap year. If Zhou Wei can succeed, he will be on the right track and succeed. If he fails, he will seek the truth by taking risks.'

Li Ximing was silent for a moment, then said:
"In that case, Senior, you have invited me here several times. I think you have something important to tell me."

"I dare not talk about giving instructions."

The red and golden winds that were surging in the hall suddenly subsided. Di Yan took a step forward and answered:

"Qu Si lives overseas, and has survived until now because he has nothing to do with the extermination of Mingyang. And now the Lord of Heaven has tacitly allowed me to meet you because I can help Mingyang..."

"In the final analysis, it is a good thing for them. I only have this one thing to tell the imperial descendants. In this world, Yin and the King of Wei are on the same path."

"It would have been more appropriate to discuss this matter with the King of Wei, but as a white unicorn, it is not appropriate for him to enter this [Sanyang Yuxi Palace]. I don't know when we can meet, so please let your Highness know."

His eyes moved slightly and he answered:

"If the King of Wei is willing to trust me, I have three candidates here. Please pay attention to them."

Li Ximing looked solemn, but he did not dare to respond outright, and only replied:

"I will convey it truthfully."

Diyan raised his eyebrows and replied:
"The first one is Yin Lie, the beloved of Xi Shaoyang, the king of Xiangxiong, the master of Shengbai Dao who holds the Fengma Xuan Banner. I used to be good friends with him, and our friendship lasted for a hundred years."

"Although he is a demonic person, he is after Shaoyang. When necessary, he will be the help of King Wei."

Diyan's voice became much quieter, and he replied:
"Xi Shaoyang and Luoxia are at odds, and their hatred is staggering. Although he is pretending to yield now, if there is a possibility of hindering Luoxia's major event, Xi Shaoyang will not refuse."

Li Ximing's expression darkened, and he was a little surprised. He choked for a moment and replied:

"My family almost came into conflict with Shengbai Dao - even though we haven't met yet, we have friends who were injured at Shengbai's hands."

Di Yan became alert, took a step forward solemnly, and said in a sinister voice:

"It is better to abandon what can be abandoned. Xi Shaoyang is low-key now. He no longer acts recklessly as before. He will only do what he has to do. It is fatal to provoke him."

Li Ximing's mind suddenly flashed with the strange scene of Fuxun, and he was even more frightened and kept silent. Diyan paced anxiously for two steps, and finally shook his head and replied:
"The second one is from Western Shu. His surname is Shangguan and his name is Mi. He is a junior who is my best friend. If there is a war between Shu and Song, and he runs into the hands of King Wei, please spare his life and let him serve King Wei."

Li Ximing immediately raised his head and said solemnly:

"With the help of the Great Immortal... Tingzhou will definitely..."

But before he could finish his words, Di Yan interrupted him with a wave of his hand:

"It's not just for me. The Shangguan family's ancestor came from Guanlong and was one of the six surnames. He was given the title of Luanfu and was a loyal member of Wei. He practiced Lihuo. Not to mention that he is very talented and has a very high level of Taoism at a young age. Just for this old minister, if the King of Wei can accept him, it will definitely be of great benefit."

Li Ximing finally understood and asked:

"But when two countries go to war, martial arts comes first. How can a single real person go to the other side? Moreover, even if the war is suppressed, there are still a clan of old and young in the country..."

Diyan said:
"It's not difficult. The Shangguan clan is in the three Huayan counties west of Tongmo. If the two countries go to war someday, we can capture this place and keep an eye on the whole clan. As for what you said about cultivating martial arts..."

Di Yan raised a sarcastic smile and replied:
"It's good to cultivate martial arts, but who is the [True Qi]? That's hard to say. Before that [True Qi] is proven, the power of these two emperors is far less terrifying than you think."

Li Ximing kept it in mind and did not participate in such a big topic. Di Yan paused and said quietly:

"There is one last person, who is my junior, a direct descendant of the Yin family, named Yin Juexi, whom you have just met."

Li Ximing immediately understood and replied:

"But the one who is practicing in front of the temple?"

Di Yan nodded and said softly:

"That's right - he has been practicing for many years, and it is time for him to seek supernatural powers. Although I don't know when he will be able to come out of seclusion, it should be soon, and he can become a servant of the King of Wei."

Li Ximing felt complicated and emotional when he heard this, and replied:
"How can you be worthy of being a servant!"

Di Yan turned sideways and said:
"There is nothing that the King of Wei cannot deserve."

Li Ximing saw that he was silent for a while, and seemed to be a little melancholy and painful. He sighed and asked:

"Since Qu Sishan..."

Di Yan shook his head and said:
"It's me, not Qu Sishan."

Li Ximing stopped talking abruptly, while Diyan looked at the candlelight on the copper lamp and said:

"Back then, our ancestor Yin Quan was about to die, leaving behind a few descendants with limited cultivation and precious treasures. Worried, they found their way to the South Sea and found a good friend, Grandmaster Qu Jie, and entrusted his life and bloodline to him."

"[Ancestor Qu Jie] is an ancient cultivator of the righteous path. He did not take any of the spiritual objects and precious treasures. He even accepted his descendants as disciples and taught them carefully...so my family gradually passed it down and inherited this Qusi Mountain."

Li Ximing understood immediately, and saw Di Yan's serious expression:

"The Yin family is the Yin family, and Qu Si is Qu Si. Qu Si is not only the hard work of three generations of my family, but also the inheritance and kindness of our ancestors. We cannot let it go lightly... For example, Kuang Yu, she is the descendant of Qu Sishan, so her identity is different."

This matter is not difficult to understand. Li Ximing even said:

"No wonder... the Qusi cultivators have always been so distant and have been insisting on inviting me here to see Diyan. In the final analysis, the matter concerning Mingyang is the private matter of the Great Immortal. It has nothing to do with the Daoist tradition itself and may even bring danger..."

"Qu Sishan's disciples not only had no resentment, but were even quite supportive. Perhaps it was because the great master in front of them had a very high prestige..."

In this way, all doubts were solved. Li Ximing immediately understood why Jingyi Mountain was separated from the South China Sea and why Xuanyi and Qu Sishan were as close as brothers, acting like senior brothers even though they were clearly a split sect:

"The split of Jingyi Mountain is most likely due to the fear that the Mingyang incident would get out of control and eventually destroy Qusi Mountain... That's why they took this action..."

He understood it in his heart, but Di Yan seemed to see through his thoughts, took a step forward, and replied:

"There's no need to think too much. Qusi Mountain's proximity to King Wei is not without its benefits. [Nanbo Sea] was known as [Nanbo Water Town] in ancient times. It has many precious lands, abundant water virtues, and towering fairy peaks. Those few people can't defend it. I can only rely on my magical powers to intimidate them."

"Liao Luo has been in the middle stage of Purple Mansion for many years. If he can rely on Tingzhou to slowly cross for a few decades, allowing him to take that step, Qu Sishan will have a place to stay in the future... Even if it doesn't work, he will save himself from decades of fighting and killing..."

This was the reason why Qu Sishan approached Li Ximing several times. Now it sounded like he was killing two birds with one stone, but Li Ximing could sense something was wrong and said tentatively:
"Great Immortal, you don't have to call me Your Highness. I really can't bear to be called such a Immortal with perfect magical powers. I'm afraid that I will lose my life... But Tingzhou will definitely do his best to help with Qu Si's matter. I don't know who they are referring to..."

Di Yan said softly:
"Dahanghai Temple, Nanshun Luoji, Wusheng Jue Gate..."

Li Ximing waited for him to mention it, then he said worriedly:
"Do these people know the status of the Great Master?"

Di Yan was slightly stunned, then laughed and replied:
"You think my situation is too embarrassing!"

This real person looked quite scary when he had a cold face, but he was surprisingly gentle when he smiled, and he looked a lot younger. One could vaguely see the energy of Kuang Yu's smile, and he replied:

"There is a magical treasure on the dome that is a combination of three yangs, called [Yuan Xian Xian Xi Zun]. You can go out by taking this item, but you must come back in time to replenish the three yangs. It is not impossible for a real fight to happen, but it will easily intensify the conflict of magical powers."

He smiled and said:
"Besides, there is no chance for a fight... I have perfect magical powers. If I stand in Taixu, no villain would dare to make a sound!"

Li Ximing then laughed awkwardly, feeling relieved and even a little hopeful:
"If the Great Immortal were to take action... I'm afraid even Wei Xuanyin wouldn't dare to confront him!"

"Wei Xuanyin?"

Diyan smiled even more and replied:
"Xuan Lou and I have fought for no less than a hundred times, with both sides winning and losing. However, his 'No Purple Robe' was difficult to practice, so I finished the last one early. Now we haven't seen each other for a long, long time."

Li Ximing had never thought that Di Yan could be related to Wei Xuanyin. He was slightly stunned, but suddenly he felt that it was natural - after all, Master Shengbai was his good friend, so it was not surprising to have another Wei Xuanyin.

However, in Li Ximing's opinion, Wei Xuanyin was an enemy after all, so it was not easy to say more. He quickly took out the crystal clear bead from his sleeve and replied:
"During the battle of Tingzhou, I was saved by this talisman of the Great Immortal! Now I have used it up completely, leaving only an empty bead to return to the Immortal..."

"That Xuan Niu is really powerful."

Di Yan put away the transparent bead and nodded:
"This is a treasure passed down by Qu Si. It's an interesting little gadget."

Li Ximing thanked him repeatedly, while Di Yan looked a little tired. He took out a palm-sized, paper-thin copper stone, as smooth as a mirror, with complex runes on it, and handed it to him, saying:
"This thing can sense me, so keep it safe. If the King of Wei has any instructions in the future, just send someone to Qusi Mountain."

Li Ximing saw what he meant, but he had not yet come back to his senses from his deep thoughts. With mixed feelings in his heart, he silently accepted the gift, thanked him, and walked out of the stairs.

The water, fire, yin and yang here were still shining in rotation, but Li Ximing's mood was completely different:
"Qu Si..."

He pondered silently before going down the Xuan stairs and found that Kuang Yu had been waiting below.

"Fellow Daoist Ximing!"

She had a tentative intention, and seeing that Li Ximing did not behave strangely, she knew that the conversation in the palace went well, so she secretly breathed a sigh of relief and came to lead him. Li Ximing was still immersed in his thoughts, and she bowed and said:

"Please give me more advice in the future!"

'ah? ’

Kuang Yu was stunned at first, and then quickly returned the greeting, with a slightly strange look on his face. However, Li Ximing did not notice and suddenly woke up as if from a dream:
“But you forgot about the Golden Land!”

One of his original purpose of coming to Qu Si was to inquire about the affairs of Jindi and make preparations to deal with Guangchan in the future. However, Diyan was too shocked and confused. He was at a loss for a moment and had long forgotten about Guangchan. He immediately straightened his expression and asked:
"In Tingzhou, Guangchan's methods are extremely clever, and he relies a lot on the golden land. I wonder what kind of treasure it is."

Kuang Yu looked away, as if thinking, and answered:

"There is a Dahanghai Temple nearby. Does Ximing know where it is?"

"Of course I know."

The matter of Dahanghai Temple was still raised by Jiaozhongzi of Nanshun Luoji. At that time, the Buddhist land of Dahanghai Temple was unstable, and the temple master [Jinghai] specially sent [Baoqing] to stabilize the Buddhist land and reincarnate again. Because of the hatred, Li Ximing had already remembered it in his heart, but he never thought that Kuang Yu said:
"Has Zhao Jing ever doubted it? It is clearly a Buddhist land with Dharma images, with Mahas sitting there and disciples and grandchildren born below. But there are a few Mahas and Lianmin, like this Dahanghai Temple, without Dharma images on their heads."

"An ancient cultivator once said: 'In the pure and quiet world, one seeks the golden land, and the Dharma is verified in the sandalwood forest.' The golden land is where the pure and quiet sandalwood is. It is the fundamental Dharma of the boundless Dharma realm and the land of Buddhism. This Dahuanghai Temple is the 'Golden Land of the Huanghai'!"

"You must know that even if Maha has achieved the power of measurement, he is nominally the master of the seven phases, but who doesn't know who the real master is? Those Dharma phases are the masters of the land of enlightenment, and these compassions and Maha are the masters of the golden land. They are the masters of themselves."

"Is it Shitu?"

Li Ximing lost his words for a moment and said in shock:
"Guangchan actually has such an opportunity! Doesn't that mean he has the potential to become a Dharmakāya?"

Kuang Yu also had a look of emotion on his face, and said seriously:
"Zhao Jing, listen to me in detail... This [Golden Land] is a treasure of the ancient Buddhists. There are as many Daos as the ancient Buddhists cultivated in the past. Some are visible, some are invisible, and the rules are hard to figure out. It is enough to support the Buddhist land. The appearance and disappearance of each golden land is enough to alarm the Dharma in the [Sandalwood Forest]!"

"It is said that the earliest seven phases of the Buddha's land were just a golden land each. It was the people in them who realized the Dharma, expanded the Dharma realm, and gathered more and more golden lands, so that it has become as vast and stable as it is today."

She said:

"Back then, [Jinghai] obtained [Hanghai Jindi]. He relied on his own hard practice and accumulated destiny. He achieved the level of Maha from Lianmin in one breath and promoted [Hanghai Jindi]. Although I heard that there are many limitations, Zhaojing regarded him as a small monk, so there is no problem!"

"He also became a leader among Mahas by virtue of the great karma and established his own school."

The woman's blue-purple eyes blinked slightly and said:
"But Guangchan is different."

"The [Golden Land of the Sea] back then had no trace. It was [Pure Sea] that quietly became Maha and had the power of autonomy from then on. However, Guangchan's Golden Land originated from that [Shengming Jinming King]. In the eyes of the Damu Dharma Realm, he had been helped to get there by others!"

"The purpose of the Damu Dharma Realm supporting Guangchan is to annex Baoya Jindi - at least to control Baoya Jindi in the hands of Damu Dharma Realm and make it the eighth golden land of Damu Dharma Realm! I don't know what the future will be like. Although Guangchan's chance of attaining the Dharma is higher than that of other Mahas, it is very slim, far less than the popular Jinghai of Huanghai Jindi!"

Li Ximing breathed a sigh of relief. After hearing the second half of her words, he raised his head in shock and asked:

"There are seven more paths in the Damu Dharma Realm?!"

Kuang Yu raised his eyebrows and said solemnly:
"Among the seven phases, only he dares to be called the Dharma Realm, and that's why!"
