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

Chapter 666: The Great Sage Tong Tian and the Great Sage Qi Tian

The Abyss Demon Realm is in the underworld.

Since Chen Yun has already obtained almost all the spiritual roots of heaven and earth needed for the "Soul Refining and Void Returning Soup", he must find a way to collect this last ingredient no matter what.

Of course, now he has more important things to do and has to go back to Khitan.

It won’t be too late to head to the Abyss Demon Realm after you finish dealing with the matters at hand.

Early that morning, he returned to Khitan.

In Laojun Temple.

As soon as Chen Yun walked in, he saw Liu Xi, the current abbot of Laojun Temple, who was humbly listening to the teachings of a man in a white robe.

The man in the white robe looked very elegant and handsome.

The only thing that makes him different from ordinary people is that he has a vertical eye on his forehead.

If my guess is correct, this man who looks similar to the young Confucian scholar must be Lord Ma.

This is somewhat different from the image recorded in Daofa Huiyuan.

The image of Lord Ma is recorded in Dao Fa Hui Yuan as: "He has three heads and nine eyes, six arms and a blue body, two hands holding fire bells and ropes, two hands holding golden spears and bricks, two hands holding fighting swords, a green face and red beard, strong red hair, a golden hat, a scarlet headband, a crimson robe and golden armor, a jade belt, green boots with hanging leather straps, a fire wheel under his feet, a white snake circling the wheel, spitting fire from his body, a fire gourd on his back, and a flock of fire crows. He leads twelve lieutenants and is the Fire Emperor of the South."

Chen Yun was not surprised by this.

Because he knew that Lord Ma must possess the ability of "Tao body" just like himself.

The image recorded in Daofa Huiyuan is most likely the appearance of Lord Ma after he manifested his Taoist body.

Later, people often said, "Let me tell you why the Horse King has three eyes."

Therefore, Chen Yun has always been interested in Lord Ma.

Now that he saw me here, he stepped forward and greeted me, "Excuse me, are you Mr. Hua Guang?"

The young scholar stopped talking to Liu Xi, turned around, and said with a smile: "You must be the Mr. Chen Pu that Mr. Zhao mentioned."

"I don't deserve the title of Mr.," Chen Yun said modestly, "I have heard of Mr. Hua Guang's reputation for a long time. It is a great honor to meet him today."

Lord Ma blinked and said, "I have long heard that Mr. Chen is so powerful that it is my honor to meet him today."

Chen Yun and Lord Ma looked at each other and laughed.

He could tell from just a few sentences that Lord Ma was a man with a very interesting personality.

The two were chatting.

Guan Erye's voice came from inside, "Haha, is Mr. Chen back?"

Chen Yun and Lord Ma looked inside quickly.

I saw Guan Erye and Guan Ping walking out from the inner courtyard one after another.

Liu Xi quickly saluted.

Guan Erye is a person who is proud of his superiors but not his subordinates.

He was almost unconcerned towards an ordinary person like Liu Xi, and even took the initiative to return the gift.

Finally, Master Guan came to Chen Yun and said contemptuously, "Mr. Huaguang has been here for many days, you have neglected him."

Chen Yun knew that Master Guan was telling him to quickly apologize to Master Ma.

After all, the other party came to support him, but was ignored for so many days. If it were someone with a bad temper, he would have left by now.

He hurriedly apologized to Lord Ma, "Mr. Huaguang, I have been out for a few days and neglected you. Please forgive me."

Lord Ma was very generous and said with a smile: "Since Mr. Chen is busy with work, I understand. Why should I apologize?"

Chen Yun said: "Thank you for your understanding, sir."

Master Guan asked, "Mr. Chen, I heard from the King of Chicheng that you went out to ask for help this time. Did you invite them here?"

Lord Ma was also very concerned about this and looked at Chen Yun's face.

Chen Yun said truthfully: "I have been invited. Except for Master Li, the King of Medicine, the others should arrive soon. Master Li may take one or two months to arrive."

Guan Erye said, "Mr. Lu and I are neighbors. We are close friends. I really hope he will come soon."

Lord Ma nodded slightly and said, "Although I don't have much friendship with Master Lu, I have heard that he is very knowledgeable about Taoism, so I really want to ask him for advice."

Chen Yun understood the psychology of the two people.

In "Journey to the East", the Eight Immortals were badly discredited. Even defeating a Dragon King required the combined efforts of eight people, which made them seem very weak.

In fact, in Taoism, some of the Eight Immortals not only have a very high status, but also have extremely profound magical powers.

For example, Chen Yun’s master Zhongli Quan, as the founder of inner alchemy, ranks second among the Five Northern Ancestors of Quanzhen, second only to Wang Xuanfu, the King of the East.

Another example is Li Tieguai. As a disciple of Taishang Laojun, how could his cultivation be low?
Actually, these are all fine.

Lu Dongbin has a special identity in Taoism, which makes him a first-class existence in terms of both status and magical powers.

This identity is not the reincarnation of the previous King of the East, nor is he revered as the master of the three religions by Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism, but the inner aspect of Yuqing Yuanshi Tianzun.

There is an introduction to Lü Dongbin in his Lü Zu Bao Gao: "The Inner Minister of Jade Purity, the Immortal Selected by the Golden Palace; he is transformed into the Master of the Three Religions, in charge of the laws and judging the orders of the Five Thunders; he is the Upper Minister of Heavenly Thunder, the True Man of Lingbao; Chunyang plays the role of a political policeman and transforms into the Emperor Fuyou, the Heavenly Venerable who promotes the Wonderful Dao".

This means that Lu Dongbin is the assistant of Yuqing Yuanshi Tianzun and also the election official of the Heavenly Court.

Furthermore, the back of the Baogao introduces Lü Dongbin as the Supreme Prime Minister of the Five Thunders, which means he is at the same level as the Nine-Heavenly Thunder God!
Therefore, not only did Lu Dongbin's own cultivation reach the first batch below the Half-Step Daluo, but he also held enormous power.

After all, he is the top leader among the grassroots immortals.

As the saying goes, there is one job for one person, and there are only so many places in heaven. In addition to directly enthroning gods through the God Conferring Chart, there are also the enthronement of minor gods and officials, and all of them cannot avoid Lu Dongbin.

Everyone present here is able to cultivate to the immortal realm. They all have wealthy families and many disciples.

Therefore, everyone hopes that their disciples can become immortals. Even if they are not talented enough, if they can establish a relationship with Lu Dongbin, they may be able to become a minor god in the future.

Chen Yun said: "Senior Brother Lu and I have made an appointment. He will arrive in the next two days. You should be able to see him soon."

As he was speaking, a hearty laugh came from the entrance of Laojun Temple, "I am very ashamed to thank General Guan and Mr. Huaguang for their concern."

Everyone turned their heads to look and saw Lu Dongbin, wearing a green Taoist robe and carrying a male and female sword, striding towards them.

Everyone saluted.

Lu Dongbin also returned the gift.

Lord Guan Er and Lord Ma Wang chatted with Lu Dongbin for a while.

Then, Lu Dongbin looked at Chen Yun and asked, "Has the others not arrived yet?"

Chen Yun repeated what he had said before to Lord Ma and Lord Guan Erye.

Lu Dongbin nodded slightly and said, "Master Li and Yang Zi have met again after a long separation, so they need some time to chat."

Lord Ma said, "It's understandable that Master Li has something to do, but Erlang invited me here, and then he disappeared. I heard that he went to invite people to help, and I don't know who he is going to invite."

To be honest, Chen Yun was not quite sure who Erlang Shen would invite over.

The only thing he knew was that the Six Saints of Meishan, the Golden-Eyed Ghost, and most of the gods of Erlang Temple would come here to join the battle.

In addition, Chen Yun’s disciples, divine soldiers and generals will come with the Nine-Headed Bull Demon King.

As for Nezha, Li Jing, Jinzha and Muzha, Chen Yun knew they would come.

It seems that Guan Erye had a chat with Erlang Shen.

He said, "King Chicheng said before that he might invite a few demons with magic power equal to his to come and help."

Lord Ma frowned, "Isn't it a bad idea to invite demons to help?"

Master Guan said, "Mr. Hua Guang, you don't know that although those people are demons, they were once subdued by the King of Chicheng and have long since returned to the right path. In addition, two of them once took the elixir of Taishang Laojun, so they no longer have demonic energy."

Chen Yun felt a little strange, "How could the demons have the blessing to take the elixir of Taishang Laojun?" Lü Dongbin seemed to know something and said with a smile, "Brother, you don't know this. If I'm not mistaken, the two demons once transformed into fairy children who were watching the medicine furnace. When Taishang Laojun was away, they overturned the alchemy furnace and stole the elixir. Not only that, they also ran to the Tianchu Yujiu Bureau and drank the nectar."

Chen Yun always felt that these stories sounded familiar.

Guan Ping guessed, "The two demons that Master Lu and my father were talking about, could they be the Great Sage Equaling Heaven and the Great Sage Equaling Heaven?"

Lü Dongbin nodded and said, "Yes, it was these two daring demons who even dared to steal the elixir of Taishang Laojun. Later, they were subdued by the King of Chicheng."

Oh!
It turned out to be these two!

Chen Yun finally recalled what Guan Erye and Lu Dongbin had just said and why it seemed so familiar.

Because this is the story of the Yuan Dynasty drama "Erlang Shen Locks Up the Monkey King".

In this story, the Great Sage Equaling Heaven, the Monkey King and Shuashua are three monkey brothers.

The Great Sage Equaling Heaven is the eldest brother, the Monkey King is the second brother, and Shuashua Sanlang is the third brother.

In addition, the Monkey King has a second sister and a third sister.

The second sister is older than the Monkey King and is the elder sister.

The third sister is younger than the Monkey King and is the younger sister.

The sisters are called Turtle Mountain Jellyfish and Iron-colored Macaque.

The Turtle Mountain jellyfish is the older sister, and the iron-colored macaque is the younger sister.

Shuasaburo, Guishan jellyfish and iron-colored macaque can actually be ignored.

However, the Monkey King and the Great Sage Equaling Heaven were indeed courageous in the opera, as they even dared to steal the elixir from Laozi.

Chen Yun didn't expect that in this Taoist mythology world, this incident was actually true.

He knew that Erlang Shen was able to subdue the Monkey King and the Great Sage Equaling Heaven, which meant that his magical powers were more profound.

But what he didn't expect was that Taishang Laojun, as the manifestation of the Great Dao, would actually condone the Monkey King Equaling Heaven and the Monkey King to steal the elixir.

Chen Yun could guess that this should be something that Taishang Laojun tacitly agreed to, otherwise the Monkey King and the Great Sage Equaling Heaven would definitely not have been able to steal the elixir.

As for why Taishang Laojun acquiesced, it is estimated that the actions of the Monkey King and the Monkey King should also be within the trajectory of the Great Dao.

None of this matters.

What's interesting is that in the opera "Erlang Shen Locks Up the Monkey King", the Monkey King is the prototype of Sun Wukong in the later "Journey to the West".

As a Chinese, Chen Yun has watched the 1986 version of "Journey to the West" countless times.

Therefore, when he heard Guan Erye and Lu Dongbin say that Erlang Shen would invite the "Monkey King" over, he was very excited for a moment and wanted to see what he looked like and whether he was as majestic as described in "Journey to the West".

The group chatted for a while and then entered the inner courtyard.

As time went by, the eight immortals who were invited gradually arrived.

He Xiangu, Han Xiangzi, Cao Guojiu, Zhang Guolao, Lan Caihe and others all arrived before nightfall.

Chen Yun welcomed them into the Laojun Temple one by one, and asked Liu Xi to arrange rooms for everyone.

……

Early in the morning of the second day, Chen Yunmen’s disciples and the nine-headed Bull Demon King also arrived here.

After that are the sacred beings in the Erlang Temple in Guanjiang and the golden-eyed ghost.

Up to this point, Erlang Shen himself has not been seen returning.

Chen Yun would definitely have to wait until everyone was gathered and then have a chat before he could feel at ease to go to the Abyss Demon Realm.

Since he didn't see Erlang Shen at this moment, he naturally had to continue waiting.

……

It was just nightfall on the third day.

Chen Yunzheng, He Xiangu, Han Xiangzi and Cao Guojiu were listening to Lü Dongbin's preaching.

Lu Dongbin's understanding of inner alchemy is almost as good as Zhongli Quan's, and he is also one of the highest representatives of inner alchemy.

Therefore, Chen Yun really benefited a lot from listening to his sermons.

At this moment, Lü Dongbin had just finished talking about his experience in cultivating inner alchemy in the immortal realm. "Let's stop here today."

Chen Yun stood up from the cushion and said, "Thank you, Senior Brother Lu, for teaching me."

He Xiangu, Han Xiangzi and Cao Guojiu all thanked their master.

Then, Chen Yun said goodbye and prepared to return to his room to digest today's gains.

As soon as he walked out the door, Zhang Qian came hurriedly.

Chen Yun called out, "Brother Zhang, you seem to be in a hurry. Is there something wrong?"

When Zhang Qian saw him, he immediately smiled and said, "Brother Chen, I was looking for you."

Chen Yun asked: "What's the matter?"

Zhang Qian pointed to the outer courtyard and said, "The King of Chicheng is back, and several great saints have come with him."

Huh?
Erlang Shen is back?

Chen Yun felt a little puzzled. Why didn't he sense it?
He knew why as soon as he thought about it. It was most likely that Erlang Shen deliberately concealed his whereabouts, so he was unable to notice that he had returned.

As for why Erlang Shen deliberately concealed his whereabouts, it is easy to guess. It is probably because he brought his brothers and sisters, the Monkey King and the Great Sage Equaling Heaven, back.

The evil aura of Shuashua Sanlang, Guishan Jellyfish and Iron-colored Macaque is so overwhelming that if they do not hide their whereabouts, it will have a great impact on the mortal world.

Well, the Great Sage Equaling Heaven and the Great Sage Equaling Heaven had stolen the elixir from Laozi, and their demonic aura was gone.

Chen Yun was originally very interested in the Monkey King.

Now that I heard Erlang Shen inviting a few people to come over, I naturally wanted to go and take a look.

He said without hesitation: "Let's go and meet Brother Erlang."

Zhang Qian said: "Okay."

The two walked slowly towards the outer courtyard.

After a while, Chen Yun and Zhang Qian came outside.

As soon as he walked out of the inner courtyard gate, Chen Yun saw five people following Erlang Shen.

Yes, there were five people, not the five hairy-faced monsters with thunderous mouths as he had imagined.

Two of the women were extremely beautiful, one was as pretty as a lotus emerging from water, and the other was very charming.

Although Chen Yun did not use his magic power to check the true identities of the two women, he could still sense a strong demonic aura from them.

The intensity of the demonic energy was probably comparable to that of an immortal in the middle stage of the divine realm.

The other three men had different appearances and were dressed differently.

For example, the scholar with a long beard who also has a demonic aura, although he looks fair and clean, his eyes are always rolling around.

As expected, he is Playboy.

The remaining two were quite amazing, they were dressed like actors.

For example, the one on the right is eight feet tall, wearing silver armor, a silver crown on his head, and a pair of misty precious shoes on his feet.

The one on the left is seven feet and five inches tall, wearing shiny golden armor, a shining golden crown on his head, a red cloak behind him, and colorful cloth shoes on his feet.

Chen Yun knew that among these two people who could not sense the evil spirit, one of them must be the Monkey King, the prototype of Sun Wukong, but he didn't know which one it was.
