I created Qin Tianjian in modern times

Chapter 597 The calm before the storm

Looking at the two of them, Zhao Qi smiled and said, "In fact, I should have gone into seclusion a long time ago, but neither you nor the Kunlun Military Region are ready to face the coming of the heavenly tribulation with me. But now is the time, and I will complete the breakthrough during my seclusion."

Bai Wenzhen looked at Zhao Qi in surprise and asked, "Chief, what realm are you in now?" Han Feng also pricked up his ears immediately. It was obvious that this question had been bothering him for a long time.

Before the team members entered the realm, they had some guesses about Zhao Qi's realm. They thought that after entering the realm of the Lesser Immortal, they would be able to see through Zhao Qi's cultivation. However, when the team members really entered the Lesser Immortal realm, they found that they still could not see through Zhao Qi's strength.

After meeting Mo Wufeng, the team members gradually understood the way of seeing through the realm. The realm of the Lesser Immortal can see through people of the same realm or even a higher realm. Therefore, when they saw Mo Wufeng, the team members knew that he was in the realm of the Red Dust Immortal.

But after asking, even Mo Wufeng couldn't see through Zhao Qi, which made the team members even more curious. They had hardly ever seen Zhao Qi practicing, so they were so surprised when they heard Zhao Qi say the word "retreat".

Facing Bai Wenzheng's question and Han Feng's curiosity, Zhao Qi smiled and shook his head: "As I said before, wait for you to discover it yourself. If one day you can really know my realm, it means that you are already the most powerful existence in this Dharma Ending Age."

The two were a little disappointed when they failed to get an answer from Zhao Qi, but soon they regained their fighting spirit. "Don't worry, Commander, this day will definitely come!"

Zhao Qi smiled gently and nodded, and continued: "I don't know how long this retreat will last, maybe three days, or maybe three months. During this period, you don't have to worry about the affairs of the Kunlun Military Region, Wang Zhiguo will handle it. But the affairs of the 788 Exploration Team will require the full responsibility of the two of you. You must supervise the training of each team member and remember that the way of cultivation is like sailing against the current, if you don't move forward, you will fall behind.

During this time, if the 788 Special Office submits a new case for investigation, I believe you can make the most effective command. If you encounter any uncertainties, you can ask Blind Chen, he can give you some help in this regard. Of course, telling you these does not mean that I will definitely stay in seclusion for a long time. I have already touched the opportunity for a breakthrough, but I have been forbearing, so I think this seclusion should not take too much time. "

Han Feng smiled and nodded, saying, "I understand, Chief. It's better to be safe than sorry." Although this was a big challenge for the two of them, they knew that they could not add burden to Zhao Qi at the moment, so they agreed immediately.

"Oh, there's one more thing you need to pay attention to." Zhao Qi looked at the two of them, and said solemnly, "The abnormalities that have occurred in the various sects are definitely not coincidental, and at this juncture, they are most likely targeting us. While the other team members are training, you can let the big black dog and the little fox keep watch. The perception of demons is always stronger than that of humans. If it's about the sect, try to stabilize the situation. If necessary, you can use this talisman to contact me."

As he spoke, Zhao Qi waved his hand, and two talismans appeared in the hands of Han Feng and Bai Wenzheng. The two put away the talismans and nodded firmly. However, they also understood that the retreat was a serious matter, and they would never use this talisman unless it was absolutely necessary.

Hu Bayi and Zhang Qishan accompanied Zhao Qi to the back mountain and watched him gradually disappear into the depths of the back mountain. To be honest, they were always unsure. This was the first time they didn't have Zhao Qi as their backbone. No one knew how long Zhao Qi would be gone and what would happen during this time. But since the responsibility fell on their shoulders, they had to take it up.

"The rest is up to us..." After Zhao Qi disappeared, they stared into the distance for a long time. After a while, Hu Bayi and Zhang Qishan left side by side.

Although they were the team leaders, they never took charge when Zhao Qi was not around. They were wondering why Zhao Qi was so confident in handing over the 788 Exploration Team to them.

As they walked, Zhang Qishan looked up and found that they were near Lingbao Pavilion. Blind Chen was sitting in a rocking chair basking in the sun, his sunglasses still covering his eyes.

They didn't pay attention at first and continued walking forward. When they were about to pass by Blind Chen, he suddenly spoke up: "My two friends, the burden on your shoulders is not light, right?"

The two stopped and looked at Blind Chen in confusion. They knew that Blind Chen was very good at fortune-telling, but they had never asked him to tell their fortunes, and they didn't know how good he was. Blind Chen's words hit their hearts directly, and they were a little surprised.

Hu Bayi asked respectfully, "Mr. Chen, did the commander also tell you about this?"

Blind Chen waved his hand gently: "Commander Chu, you don't have to tell me. If I rely on him to tell me, then there's no need for me to sit here."

Zhang Qishan asked the question in his mind: "We have never understood why Commander Chu was so confident in leaving everything to us."

Zhang Qishan was older than Blind Chen, so his attitude was not as respectful as Hu Bayi's. Blind Chen didn't care, and after a moment of silence, he said word by word:
"I can predict the secrets of heaven, but I cannot predict people's hearts. Especially Commander Chu, he is a master of the time, and his mind is even harder to guess. But I think you two don't need to worry about it. Since Commander Chu has given you the responsibility, he must have thought it over carefully. Instead of limiting yourself, you might as well accept it calmly and try to take on this responsibility."

Blind Chen's words touched their hearts. They looked at each other and nodded slightly. They didn't believe in themselves, but in Zhao Qi. They felt that the leader must have a deep meaning in making such an arrangement, and they must not let him down.

Hu Bayi said respectfully: "Thank you Mr. Chen for your guidance." After that, he and Zhang Qishan were about to leave.

Just after taking a few steps, Blind Chen's voice came again: "You two, I have something to say to you."

The two turned around in confusion, only to see Blind Chen slowly standing up. Although he was blind, he faced them and said, "A tree that stands out in the forest will be destroyed by the wind. 788 Exploration Team, you better keep an eye on it."

Hu Bayi heard that Blind Chen had something else in mind, so he stepped forward and asked anxiously, "Mr. Chen, what do you mean by that?"

Blind Chen waved his hand, turned around and walked into Lingbao Pavilion. His old voice floated in the wind: "This is a secret of heaven, it cannot be revealed."

Watching Blind Chen enter the Lingbao Pavilion, the two were confused and didn't understand what was going on.

"Let's go. I don't know why, but I always feel something is wrong..." Zhang Qishan patted Hu Bayi's shoulder and walked forward. "It's inevitable that people will feel uneasy without the leader of the Kunlun Military Region. We have a heavy responsibility, so we must be careful!"

Hu Bayi nodded silently, and the two walked away.

At this moment, Blind Chen was alone in the main hall of Lingbao Pavilion, with sunlight pouring in through the windows. This was a place that Zhao Qi had ordered that only Blind Chen could enter and exit.

On one side of the hall were Blind Chen's bed and his luggage, and this was also where he did his fortune-telling. In the Kunlun Military Region, this was considered a pure land.

Blind Chen groped his way to his luggage and fished for a long time before pulling out an ancient tortoise shell and six copper coins. He put the copper coins into the tortoise shell with a heavy heart, sat cross-legged on the ground, and shook the tortoise shell regularly.

Soon, he poured the copper coins on the ground and separated them one by one. When his fingers touched the copper coins, the expression on his face became more solemn.

The art of divination is based on yin and yang, and after the hexagram is obtained, it must be interpreted. Blind Chen soon realized that this hexagram was one of the four major evil hexagrams in the sixty-four hexagrams, the Kan hexagram for water.

This is the twenty-ninth hexagram among the sixty-four hexagrams. It is water above and below, and is surrounded by dangers, with the appearance of being trapped to death. Seeing such a hexagram, Blind Chen was very uneasy. He was calculating the fate of the entire Kunlun Military Region.

Blind Chen slowly raised his head, and a heavy sigh echoed in the hall. After putting away his weapon, he sat down beside the bed in a low voice.

"Commander Chu, Commander Chu... It's really a bad time to be in seclusion now. The Kunlun Military Region may be in great trouble..."

No one knew what Blind Chen was muttering in Lingbao Pavilion, and no one knew that his hexagrams were so dangerous.

Hu Bayi and Zhang Qishan called all the members of the exploration team together and told them the news of Zhao Qi's retreat. The members were all very surprised and thought it was too sudden. But the matter was done and they could only wait for the news of Zhao Qi's return.

Five days passed in a blink of an eye. Hu Bayi and Zhang Qishan gradually got used to it from their initial uneasiness. Zhao Qi showed no signs of leaving the confinement. During this period, the Kunlun Military Region was in good order under the management of Political Commissar Wang Zhiguo, and the 788 Exploration Team also trained every day according to the routine.

Zhang Qishan and Hu Bayi felt relieved. But they didn't know that the calm before the storm is the easiest to paralyze people's hearts.

……

At the same time, in the secret realm of Kongtong Sect...

The Kongtong Sect Secret Realm has been basically repaired. The gap in the barrier was easily restored to its original state by the hands of the ancestor. The original collapsed and desolate scene in the Secret Realm has long disappeared, and everything has returned to normal.

But without the dragon vein, the vitality in the secret realm is not as good as before, and the spiritual energy is getting weaker and weaker. At this moment, in front of the waterfall deep in the secret realm, the ancestor of Kongtong Sect is sitting here. It can be seen with the naked eye that the thin spiritual energy around is constantly pouring into the ancestor's body. Not far away, the heads of the five sects gathered together, with a bit of anxiety on their faces.

"Master Dongxuzi, our ancestor said that he would help and tell our master about our situation. But so many days have passed, how come there is still no news?" Master Zhou Tian lowered his voice and looked at Dongxuzi anxiously.

The past few days have been like a year for the other sect leaders. Kongtong Sect is relatively safe with the presence of the old ancestor, but the other sect leaders are becoming increasingly uneasy.

The masters of each sect did not make any move, and the sects remained desolate and dilapidated. The disciples began to feel uneasy and restless, and many of them even left the mountain.

If this continues, I'm afraid the sect will soon disappear.

Facing Zhou Tianshi's question, Dongxuzi shook his head helplessly:
"Everyone, you have been in my Kongtong Sect these past few days, and you have seen that the ancestor has been sitting in meditation since that day and has not said a word.

I also want to ask you what’s going on, but how can we disturb the ancestor when he is practicing?

I think since the ancestor said he would help, he will definitely do it, everyone should be patient and wait and see..."

"It's easy to say. Your Kongtong Sect is fine as long as you have the ancestor. My Songshan Thousand Buddha Temple is almost in ruins, and the disciples can only sleep in the open air.

Did your ancestors spread the news? If my master from the Thousand Buddha Temple knew about the current situation, he would definitely not ignore it! "

Monk Wuxiang finally couldn't hold back his anger anymore. Over the past few days, everyone's patience was almost worn out.

At this moment, everyone finally couldn't help it.

"call……"

Just then, a strange wind suddenly blew, and then a few dark clouds strangely covered the sun.

Several sect leaders looked up, their eyes full of confusion.

The dark clouds came strangely, there were only a few of them, but they just blocked the sun, just like covering the eyes of the sky.

Before the leaders could react, a voice came from a distance.

"Wuxiang, why has the Thousand Buddha Temple become like this?"

As soon as the sound reached his ears, a figure came from far away.

This person was wearing a purple gold cassock, holding a strange golden bell carved with nine dragon patterns in his hand, and had nine incense scars on his bald head.

He walked in the air and lotus flowers bloomed under his feet. After he walked past, the lotus flowers disappeared again.

Upon seeing this, Sect Leader Wuxiang hurriedly stepped forward, knelt on the ground, clasped his hands together and bowed respectfully:
"This humble monk, Wuxiang, respectfully welcomes the Grandmaster..."

"clang……"

The founder of Thousand Buddha Temple landed slowly on the ground, knocking the golden staff in his hand on the ground, and a golden light spread out.

The Grand Master glared at the Wuxiang Sect Leader with the might of a diamond:
“I received the news from the Kongtong Sect’s Grandmaster Tianji Daoist a few days ago, but it happened to be a critical period of my cultivation, so it was a few days late.

What on earth happened at the Thousand Buddhas Temple? Why did I only see a mess when I left? "

How could Sect Leader Wuxiang not be afraid when faced with the questioning from his master?
But before he could answer, another voice came closer:
"Master Tianji, Master Fawu, long time no see..."

Hearing this, the Kongtong Sect's master who was sitting in meditation opened his eyes, and the Thousand Buddha Temple's master who was questioning him also looked back.

I saw a figure in Taoist robes walking towards me step by step on the steps formed by golden talismans.

The Bagua diagram on his Taoist robe sparkled brightly, and several talismans surrounded his body.

What is even more eye-catching is that he carries a peach wood sword on his back and a dagger made of copper coins hanging around his waist.

Upon seeing this, Zhou Tianshi lifted up his robe, knelt down, and shouted loudly:
"Master, you are finally here!"

The Maoshan sect's ancestor slowly landed on the ground, and the talismans around him quickly disappeared.

He glanced at Wuxiang, who was kneeling on the ground with a sad face, made a hand seal, and gently lifted him up, and Wuxiang stood up involuntarily.

Then, the Maoshan Sect Master looked at the Thousand Buddha Temple Master and said:

"Master Fawu, I have probably understood the whole matter. It has nothing to do with them. Why bother your own disciples?"

Upon hearing this, the monk Fawu slowly stretched out a hand in front of him and bowed slightly:
"Buddha has mercy on me. I never expected to meet Master Xuan Dao under such circumstances..."

Taoist Xuan Dao seemed to have a very free and easy personality. He just waved his hand and Master Zhou Tianshi stood up involuntarily.

“It’s fate that the Maoshan Sect has fallen into this situation. You don’t need to blame yourself too much.

Only with all your heart can you be liberated..."

"What a wholehearted person! I can tell it's Master Xuan Dao without even looking at him!"

"Rumble..."

Along with this strange voice, there was a sudden bolt of lightning in the sky, and then a figure appeared in front of everyone without warning.

Under this person's feet was a formation that had just dissipated.

Although this person also wears a Taoist robe, it is different from the Taoist robe of Xuan Dao Zhenren of Maoshan Sect. (End of this chapter)
