Taoist Myth: I am the last true immortal in the world

Chapter 451: Emperor Taizong of Liao visits Laojun Temple

Dominate the five lakes and four seas, the three mountains and five peaks?
Everyone was secretly shocked when they heard this.

Most of the people watching at the scene had no idea what the five lakes and four seas and the three mountains and five peaks referred to.

Because they are people from outside the Great Wall and don't know much about the Central Plains.

However, everyone knew that Zhulihunhe was speaking in general terms and was not referring to those places.

In other words, this Mr. Chen Pu from the south is a well-known figure in the Central Plains?
Could it even be more famous than Master Cixian's reputation in Khitan?
Dianshi Xiao and a group of police officers looked at each other, and they all saw shock in their eyes.

They really didn't expect that Mr. Chen, who looked like he was only seventeen or eighteen years old, actually had such a great reputation in the Central Plains.

Needless to say, the onlookers were already in an uproar.

Different from the general reaction, Yelu Ruan and Liu Haichan naturally knew what the five lakes and four seas and the three mountains and five peaks meant, and they could also analyze from Zhulihunhe's words how much he respected Chen Pu.

The three mountains among the Three Mountains and Five Peaks generally refer to three dragon veins in mythology and legends, namely Mount Buzhou, the Kunlun Mountains and the Tianshan Mountains.

Of course, there are two other theories.

For example, the theories of Penglai, Fangzhang and Yingzhou.

As well as the Huangshan, Lushan and Yandangshan theories.

No matter which statement is true, the Five Mountains are fixed: Mount Tai, Mount Hua, Mount Heng, Mount Song and Mount Heng.

As for the five lakes and four seas, the five lakes refer to Poyang Lake, Dongting Lake, Taihu Lake, Hongze Lake and Chaohu Lake, and the four seas refer to Bohai Sea, Yellow Sea, East China Sea and South China Sea.

In fact, whether it is the Three Mountains and Five Peaks, or the Five Lakes and Four Seas, it generally refers to the entire country.

It is because we know the true meaning of the five lakes and four seas and the three mountains and five peaks.

Yelu Ruan and Liu Haichan were far more shocked than anyone else.

They never imagined that Chen Yun, a young Taoist who looked like he was not even an adult yet, was actually a famous Taoist master in the Central Plains.

This gave the two of them different ideas.

Yelu Ruan was eager to find talented people and wished he could immediately invite Mr. Chen to help him succeed.

Liu Haichan seemed to see the hope of achieving immortality and was eager to ask Mr. Chen to accept him as his disciple.

Not to mention what everyone is thinking.

After sighing over Chen Yun's reputation in the Central Plains, Zhu Lihunhe clasped his hands together and saluted, saying, "Since Mr. Chen is here in person, I know that I am no match for him, so I will not challenge you again."

Seeing that Zhu Lihunhe was so tactful, Chen Yun smiled and said, "You are an interesting shaman. I will accept your invitation."

Zhuolihun asked, "I wonder what business Mr. Chen has in coming to Khitan?"

Chen Yun stood up slowly, put his hands behind his back, and said, "Nothing, just come here to play for a while. If you have nothing else to do, go back for now. I still need to discuss Taoism with fellow Taoist Liu."

Zhu Lihun said hurriedly: "Good, sir, you can stay in the imperial capital as long as you want. We will take our leave."

After saying this, he winked at Yelu Ruan.

At this moment, Yelu Ruan was thinking of asking Mr. Chen to come out and assist him.

Seeing that Zhuolihunhe was about to leave, he felt anxious.

However, Yelu Ruan knew how great the prestige of Zhulihunhe was in Khitan, and he did not dare to ignore his words.

He had no choice but to say goodbye to Chen Yun with Li Ming, Master Cixian and others.

Dianshi Xiao and a group of police officers also left trembling with fear.

They were really afraid that Chen Yun would hold grudges against previous events, thus bringing about a huge disaster.

Fortunately, Chen Yun was open-minded and did not care about previous events.

This made Dianshi Xiao and a group of yamen runners secretly breathe a sigh of relief.

When everyone left Laojun Temple.

Under the instruction of Chen Yun.

Liu Haichan quickly closed the door.

……

outside.

A group of people originally wanted to hear about Mr. Chen's sensational deeds from dignitaries such as Yelu Ruan and Xiao Dianshi.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Zhulihunhe left Laojun Temple, he immediately ordered his followers, strong men and a group of yamen runners to disperse the people.

Seeing the crowd being dispersed, Yelu Ruan couldn't help but ask, "My Lord, what on earth did this Mr. Chen do to be so famous throughout the Central Plains?"

Dianshi Xiao, the police runners and a group of strong men all looked towards Zhuolihunhe.

As for Li Ming and Master Cixian, they seemed to know, but they were not like everyone else.

Mentioning this, Zhu Lihun He pondered for a moment, revealing a rather solemn expression, "This Mr. Chen Pu is extraordinary. His reputation in the Central Plains is all earned by his own efforts. For example, when he was emerging, he killed a heretic in Shu. Later, he led his divine soldiers and generals to wipe out the ghost commander and tens of thousands of ghost soldiers in Lizhou. In addition, he killed the Demon King and 30,000 demons in Dengzhou. It's better not to talk about these deeds. The most unbelievable thing is some of the things he did in the past few years."

Li Ming nodded slightly.

Master Cixian couldn't help but sigh.

The two thought to themselves, if they had known it was Chen Pu, they would not have gone up and embarrassed themselves.

Yelu Ruan was confused and asked, "What did he do in the past few years?"

Zhu Lihun said: "There are two things, both of which are sensational events that shocked thousands of mountains and rivers."

Yelu Ruan said: "I would like to hear the details."

Xiao Dianshi, the police officers and a group of strong men all pricked up their ears.

Zhu Lihun laughed bitterly and said, "First, this Mr. Chen led more than 10,000 divine soldiers and generals to Kunlun to destroy the Xingxiuhai sect outside the Great Wall, and then went to Xiangxi to destroy the Yinshan sect."

Yelu Ruan asked, "How do the Xingxiuhai and Yinshan sects compare to Shamanism?"

Zhulihun sighed and said, "If we only compare it with our Khitan Shamanism, whether it is Xingxiuhai or Yinshan Sect, they are almost the same."

"what?"

"Can Xingxiuhai and Yinshan Sect be compared with the power of our Khitan Shamanism?"

"Although Shamanism is not only inherited in Khitan, it is already the largest sect in Khitan. How could the Xingxiuhai and Yinshan sects, which are so powerful, still be destroyed by Mr. Chen?"

Xiao Dianshi, the police patrol officers, and a group of strong men were all in an uproar. They had just seen that Li Ming and Master Cixian could not shake Chen Yun, so they knew that Mr. Chen was powerful.

But I really didn't expect it to be so powerful!
Zhulihunhe said with a hint of deep meaning: "So, you all know why I retreated without a fight, right? Mr. Chen's disciples and divine soldiers and generals are almost invincible in the mortal world. In my Khitan Shamanism, unless a few ancestors who have become gods come forward, no one can resist Mr. Chen's disciples and divine soldiers and generals."

Yelu Ruan finally realized how powerful Chen Yun's power was, which made him yearn for Chen Yun even more.

Zhu Lihunhe continued to speak, "If it was just the huge power, maybe I wouldn't be so scared. Mr. Chen is actually a person with superb skills, almost to the point of being a saint."

Li Ming said: "Yes, what he did outside Jiangling City a few years ago was so touching."

Yelu Ruan was so curious about Chen Yun that he couldn't wait to ask, "What did Mr. Chen do outside Jiangling City?"

Master Cixian asked in return, "Do you know Liang Zhen, the leader of the Jingdi Dao Sect?"

Xiao Dianshi, the police runners and a group of strong men looked confused, obviously they had never heard of it.

Yelu Ruan was shocked and asked, "Master, the Liang Zhen you mentioned, is it possible that he single-handedly protected the great Taoist priest in Nanping?"

Master Cixian nodded, "Yes."

Yelu Ruan took a deep breath and said, "It is said that Mr. Liang Zhen's Taoism is earth-shattering. Could it be that he was also defeated by Mr. Chen?"

"It would be so easy if we were defeated by Mr. Chen." Zhu Lihun said helplessly, "It is said that in order to prevent the Tang army from breaking into Jiangling, Liang Zhen specially set up the 'Ten Directions Extinction Formation' outside the city, which is said to be unbreakable by only immortals. This formation is extremely dangerous. Even if I enter it, I will have no choice but to surrender. However, Mr. Chen did not even bring his disciples or divine soldiers and generals with him, but he broke this evil formation that only immortals can break by himself!"

The formation that only an immortal can break was broken by Mr. Chen alone?
Yelu Ruan, Xiao Dianshi and the rest of the people were all shocked.

Only then did they realize that Mr. Chen's own strength was even more shocking than the power he controlled.

Yelu Ruan trembled a little and said, "According to what you said, Master, could it be that Mr. Chen has already attained the Tao and become an immortal?"

“No.” Zhu Lihun shook his head. “It is precisely because he has not yet attained enlightenment that I feel even more moved. His cultivation has already reached the pinnacle, but he has not yet attained enlightenment. He can do anything he wants in the mortal world. Therefore, you must not provoke him, otherwise, if Mr. Chen gets angry, even the gods can’t save your life!”

Dianshi Xiao and a group of police patrol officers couldn't help but wipe their sweat when they heard this.

Yelu Ruan was somewhat surprised and asked, "Since Mr. Chen has not yet attained enlightenment and has such a huge power, and is well-known in the Central Plains, why did he come to my Khitan?"

This time, let alone Xiao Dianshi, the police patrol officers and a group of strong men were puzzled.

Even Li Ming and Master Cixian looked puzzled.

Obviously, no one really knows why Chen Yun came to Khitan.

Zhuolihunhe pondered for a moment and said, "I guess Mr. Chen may have encountered some troubles in the Central Plains, so he wanted to come to my Khitan to preach."

Yelu Ruan asked, "What kind of trouble could such a person encounter?"

Zhulihun shook his head and said, "Taoism is different from Shamanism. There are far more than one or two orthodox sects of the Xuan Sect. I guess it is very likely that Mr. Chen offended Liang Zhen, the Grand Master of Jingdi, and caused resistance from the Taoist sect. It is said that his mentor Zheng Yangzi was imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison because he violated the Heavenly Law by shielding his disciples. Presumably, he was rejected by many forces in the Taoist sect and he had no sect to support him, so he came here to preach."

Everyone nodded thoughtfully.

Indeed, Taoism is a place that values ​​power.

Let me put it this way, if you are a Taoist priest but do not have enough power, you will not be able to summon gods or demons to subdue them.

Therefore, if Chen Yun really offended the great master Liang Zhen of Jingdi and caused resistance from the Taoist sect in the Central Plains, it would be natural for him to come to Khitan.

But no matter whether Mr. Chen encountered resistance in the Central Plains, he possessed enormous power and earth-shaking magic, which was enough to make people worship him.

Yelu Ruan was thinking about whether he should test Zhu Lihunhe and ask if he could ask Chen Yun to come out of seclusion to assist him.

Who would have thought that Zhulihunhe would immediately take the initiative to say to Yelu Ruan: "Wuyu, quickly prepare a generous gift and invite Mr. Chen to come out of the mountain."

Wu Yu is Yelu Ruan's nickname.

Yelu Ruan was stunned for a moment, "Ah?"

Zhuolihunhe frowned, "Don't you want to ask Mr. Chen, a master, to assist you?"

Yelu Ruan didn't dare to say this out loud. After all, his father, the King of Dongdan, had this intention, but he couldn't defeat Emperor Taizong of Liao, so he fled to the Later Tang in the south.

Although he is young, he is very cunning.

Yelu Ruan pretended to be full of admiration and said, "Mr. Chen is so impressive and I really admire him. If I could learn Taoism from him, it would be a great blessing in my life. My Lord, I really want to invite Mr. Chen to come out of seclusion, but why did you let me wait until he comes out before inviting him, instead of inviting him just now?"

Li Ming, Master Cixian, Xiao Dianshi and others all had the same doubt.

Zhuolihunhe said expressionlessly, "Mr. Chen is such a great Taoist, how can you invite him to come out of seclusion just because you want to? You must show enough sincerity, such as preparing a generous gift first, and then visiting him three times. Maybe he will feel that you are very respectful and will come out of seclusion to assist him. Otherwise, forget it, forget it."

Yelu Ruan, Li Ming, Master Cixian and others all suddenly realized.

Yes.

Can one just invite a Taoist master like Mr. Chen?

If you don't show enough sincerity, how can they come forward?
Yelu Ruan could no longer sit still, fearing that other princes and nobles would get in touch with Mr. Chen first.

He said quickly, "Everyone, follow me back to the mansion to discuss what kind of gift to prepare for Mr. Chen."

He secretly made up his mind that no matter how great the cost, he must invite Mr. Chen to come out of retirement.

After all, this Mr. Chen is even inferior to Zhulihunhe, the third most powerful shaman in the shamanism, and he also controls a huge force that can destroy Khitan shamanism.

Yelu Ruan naturally wanted to have such an expert to assist him, so he wanted to ask Chen Yun to come out and assist him at all costs.

As soon as the discussion was finished, a group of people hurried back home.

Little did they know that not long after Yelu Ruan and his men left, Emperor Taizong of Liao personally visited Chen Yun with a group of trusted ministers and two or three carts full of rich gifts, asking him to come out of retirement.

Obviously, before coming here, Emperor Taizong of Liao had already heard from the Shamanism's first high priest, Nihe, how amazing Chen Yun's Taoism was and knew how huge his power was.

As an ambitious emperor, Emperor Taizong of Liao, like Yelu Ruan, certainly hoped to get the full support of a great Taoist like Chen Yun.

Therefore, when Emperor Taizong of Liao came, he had already made up his mind that today, not to mention asking him to bow down, even if it meant losing the emperor's etiquette and kneeling, he would still invite Mr. Chen to come out of seclusion to assist him.

Yes, his attitude is so firm!

……

In Laojun Temple.

Liu Haichan had just closed the door of the Taoist temple.

Chen Yun was just about to chat for a while with the future grandmaster of alchemy.

Who would have thought that Liu Haichan would kneel down on the ground with a plop as soon as he turned around, and said with tears in his eyes: "Master Chen, please have pity on me, Liu Xuanying, who is devoted to Taoism, and accept me as your disciple."

As he spoke, he kowtowed his forehead to the ground loudly, "bang bang bang". His attitude was so sincere!
