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

Chapter 729: Master Xu

The battle in which Chen Yun, Wang E and Tieguai Li defeated the Nine Star God had a particularly profound and far-reaching impact.

Without the Nine Star Gods blocking the way, the divine soldiers and generals under Chen Yun's command secretly helped the Khitan army to call the wind and rain, and to send sand and rocks flying, helping the Khitan army to defeat the armies of Du Chongwei and Zhang Yanze.

Zhao Yanshou led the infantry charge, while Gao Yanwen led the cavalry.

The combined efforts of the two defeated the Later Jin army, forcing it to flee in all directions and leaving tens of thousands of corpses.

In this battle, the Khitan army won a comprehensive victory and successfully crossed the Zhongdu Bridge and set up camp.

The Later Jin Dynasty was defeated and Du Chongwei retreated to Zhongdu Village.

The Khitan army continued to advance southward and set up camp on both sides of the Hutuo River.

The Jin army also divided its troops and launched a series of encirclements three miles away from Zhongdu Village.

For a time, the Khitan army was in high spirits, while the Later Jin army was in a state of mourning.

At this point in the battle, it can be said that the Jin army was making its last ditch effort.

As long as the Khitan army can completely destroy Du Chongwei's 200,000-strong army, the overall situation will be settled.

Now the Khitan army only had to face one problem.

That is to prevent Du Chongwei and the Hengzhou defenders from attacking from both sides.

Once this problem can be solved, the fall of the Later Jin Dynasty will be imminent.

It has been three days since Chen Yun returned to Yingzhou City.

During this period, he paid close attention to the war every day, and from time to time he sent his disciples and divine soldiers and generals to participate in the war to secretly assist the Khitan.

Because the Later Jin army did not have any sacred guards for the time being, they were unable to resist the spells cast by Chen Yunmen's disciples and divine soldiers and generals. They could only hold on to Zhongdu Village and wait for reinforcements to arrive as soon as possible.

Early in the morning of that day, Chen Yun was invited by the Khitan envoy to the camp on the Hutuo River.

Chinese military tent.

Yelu Deguang sat in the middle.

On the left and right sides are generals and counselors.

Chen Yun, Guan Erye, Guan Ping, Ji Xin and others sat on the sidelines and listened.

Yelu Deguang looked at the generals and counselors, "Now the 200,000 troops led by Du Chongwei have been forced into a corner by us. They can only defend Zhongdu Village. However, the Hengzhou garrison is not moving. I am afraid that the two will unite and attack from both sides. Everyone, do you have any good ideas to defeat them?"

Zhao Yanshou stood up and clasped his fists, saying, "Your Majesty, I think our army should attack Zhongdu Village in one go to prevent the Hengzhou defenders from attacking from both sides."

Gao Yanwen followed closely and said: "If our army attacks Zhongdu Village fiercely, the Hengzhou defenders will definitely attack. The matter of a fierce attack is still under discussion."

Zhao Yanzhao, King of the Southern Court, and a group of advisers expressed their opinions one after another, but they still could not come up with a good plan.

Suddenly, Chen Yun said, "Du Chongwei and the Hengzhou defenders have a geographical advantage, but they are now surrounded on all sides and have a big problem with supply. If we can cut off the Jin army's food supply and retreat, I think there is no need to attack. We just need to wait for a few days. When Du Chongwei and the Hengzhou defenders have eaten up all their food and grass, they will naturally surrender."

Yelu Deguang's eyes lit up and he said, "Mr. Chen's words make sense. If our army can cut off the Jin army's food supply, it will indeed fall without a fight. However, there is a very critical city on the Jin army's food supply route, which is Luancheng. This city cannot be broken in a short time. Do you have any good ideas to help our army cut off the food supply route?"

Zhao Yanshou, Gao Yanwen, the King of Nanyuan and others all knew that Luancheng was difficult to capture, so they remained silent for a while.

At this moment, Xiao Han, the nephew of Liao Taizu Yelü Abaoji, suddenly stood up and shouted: "Your Majesty, I am willing to attack Luancheng!"

Chen Yun couldn't help but look at this man, knowing that he was a fierce general of the Khitan army.

Xiao Han is not only brave and good at fighting, but also extremely cruel.

If they attack Luancheng, they may burn, kill and loot the local area.

Thinking of this, Chen Yun looked over and said, "General Xiao, if you want to attack Luancheng, you can, but you have to agree to one request of mine."

Although Xiao Han is cruel to ordinary people, he dare not give up in front of the True Immortal.

He knelt down and said flatteringly, "Mr. Chen, please feel free to tell me what you want, and I will do it."

Chen Yun hummed and said, "If you really want to capture Luancheng, you must strictly order your subordinates not to burn, kill, or loot. Is this possible?"

Xiao Han vowed: "I can do it. If I can't, I will be struck by lightning and die miserably in the future."

Chen Yun looked deep in his eyes and said, "Don't post it carelessly. I hope General Xiao can remember what I said."

Xiao Han didn't take it seriously at all, "Of course I remember."

Chen Yun nodded slightly, turned his head to look at Yelu Deguang and said, "Your Majesty, since General Xiao has volunteered to fight, I think you can let him lead a few thousand cavalry to give it a try."

When Yelu Deguang saw that Chen Yun had taken the initiative to speak, he no longer had any objections and hurriedly said, "Good."

Afterwards, everyone discussed how to attack Luancheng.

The meeting was just halfway through when Zhang Qian suddenly came over from outside the door.

The guard invited Zhang Qian in.

As soon as Zhang Qian came in, he bowed to Chen Yun and said, "Brother Chen, there are guests coming to Yingzhou City."

Upon hearing this, Chen Yun immediately realized that the guest was of extraordinary status, otherwise Zhang Qian would not have come to him at this time.

He did not ask who the visitor was, but stood up and looked at the Khitan leader, "Your Majesty, I have something else to do, so I will take my leave first."

Yelu Deguang quickly stood up and said, "Sir, please go and take care of something first. We will discuss this with you after we have finished discussing it."

Chen Yun said a polite word and walked out of the tent with Guan Erye, Guan Ping, Ji Xin and others.

Come outside.

Chen Yun looked at Zhang Qian and asked, "Which distinguished guest is visiting?"

Zhang Qian said solemnly: "Master Xu!"

Ok?
Xu Xun Xu Tianshi?

Chen Yun couldn't help but be moved.

The four great heavenly masters are extremely famous.

They are Zhang Daoling, Ge Xuan, Xu Xun and Sa Shoujian.

These four heavenly masters play a prominent role in Taoist mythology.

For example, Zhang Daoling’s status as the founder of Taoism is unquestionable.

Ge Tianshi studied under the Taoist master Zuo Ci, and later passed on his teachings to the Taoist Fire Dragon Master Zheng Yin, who was the founder of the famous Lingbao School of Taoism.

Master Xu Tianshi is the founder of the Jingming Dao sect.

Sa Shoujian has not yet achieved immortality, or rather, there is no such person yet, but he is one of the founders of the Shenxiao School. It is said that he learned the true teachings from Wang Wenqing, Lin Lingsu and Zhang Jixian, the 30th generation Heavenly Master of Longhu Mountain, and then became an immortal.

Although there are only three Heavenly Masters and no Four Heavenly Masters yet, Xu Xun's reputation is really not small.

This is not the most important thing.

The most important thing is that Xu Xun is the founder of the Jingming Sect.

If he was sent by the Jade Emperor to help, it would mean that the entire Jingming Dao sect would stand on his side.

Another point is that, according to what Chen Yun knows, the master that Wang Zaixi later worshipped seemed to be Master Xu Tianshi.

When Chen Yun thought about not having seen Wang Zaixi for decades, he really missed him a little.

He couldn't help but wonder whether Wang Zaixi had become Xu Xun's disciple and whether he would come along.

Thinking of this, he said, "Let's go back to Yingzhou City now."

After saying that, Chen Yun waved his hand, covering Zhang Qian, Guan Erye, Guan Ping, Ji Xin and others, and moved back to the city. …

Governor's Mansion, living room.

Chen Yun came here under the guidance of Zhang Qian.

Before he stepped over the threshold, he saw a middle-aged Taoist priest wearing a bright red Taoist robe and a foot-long beard sitting on the guest seat.

Behind this middle-aged Taoist priest, there stood another middle-aged Taoist priest.

One can vaguely see the appearance of his youth between the eyebrows of this middle-aged Taoist priest.

That’s right, it’s Wang Zai Xi.

really!

As expected, Wang Zaixi became Xu Xun’s disciple!
The only thing that made Chen Yun feel regretful was that Xu Xun did not bring his disciples, the "Twelve True Lords of Xishan", with him this time.

He stepped over the threshold, bowed and said, "I am Chen Pu, a disciple of Zhenren Zhengyang of the Ningyang Cave in Zhongnan Mountain, and I am honored to meet Tianshi Xu."

Xu Xun stood up and returned the greeting, "Master Chen, I am honored."

Wang Zaixi also bowed and said, "Wang Zaixi, I meet Master Chen...Brother Chen."

He was originally Chen Yun's nephew, but was later expelled from the school by Zhongli Quan. Now he has become Xu Xun's disciple, so naturally he can no longer call Chen Yun his uncle.

Chen Yun returned the greeting and said, "Brother Wang Dao, you are polite."

After some greetings, everyone took their seats.

Chen Yun looked at Wang Zaixi and asked with a smile, "Brother, it's been decades since we last met. How are you?"

Wang Zaixi's usually stern face showed a hint of smile, "Thank you for your concern, Brother Wang, I am very happy. It has been decades since I last saw you, and your cultivation has reached an astonishing level. I can only look up to you."

He said this with great emotion.

Indeed, Wang Zaixi was already a top-notch wizard in the Chuandao Temple.

At that time, Chen Yun had just entered the profession and was just an ordinary person.

Even when Chen Yun received Zhongli Quan's order to capture him last time, the two men's cultivation levels were comparable.

As a result, decades later, Chen Yun had already cultivated to the celestial immortal realm, but Wang Zaixi was only at the leader realm.

The gap between the two is as big as the bright moon and firefly.

How can one not feel emotional?
Chen Yun asked with a hint of curiosity: "How did you become Master Xu Tianshi's disciple?"

Wang Zaixi said: "I was expelled from the sect by the founder, and then I went into hiding in Songshan to practice. I met my master by chance, and he took pity on me and taught me the Dharma."

Xu Xun smiled and said, "I saw that Zixi was very talented, but he was expelled from the sect by Zhengyangzi and lost his chance to become an immortal. I felt it was a pity, so I went to Songshan to ferry him back."

Chen Yun was a very smart man and he immediately heard a different meaning in Master Xu's words.

If I am not mistaken, what Xu Xun meant by this sentence is that he was entrusted by Zhongli Quan to go to Songshan to find Wang Zaixi to be accepted as his disciple. Otherwise, he would not have used the word "specially" and would not have mentioned "Zhengyangzi".

Chen Yun stood up and bowed deeply, saying sincerely, "Thank you, Master Xu."

Wang Zaixi looked at Chen Yun thanking him with a particularly complicated look in his eyes.

Xu Xun accepted the thanks calmly, and extended his hand, saying, "Master Chen, you are welcome."

Chen Yun turned around and sat down, asking, "I wonder what important matter the Heavenly Master has come here for today?"

Xu Xun said, "A few days ago, you went to Qingwei Palace to look for God, and he asked me to come and help you. He also brought some spiritual roots of heaven and earth, saying that you could use them to make pills."

Having said that, he looked back at Wang Zai Xi.

Wang Zaixi immediately took out something similar to a brocade bag from his sleeve.

Xu Xun nodded slightly and pursed his lips.

Wang Zaixi walked up to Chen Yun and said, "Brother Dao, please accept it."

Chen Yun knew what was in this secret bag.

It must be the spiritual roots of heaven and earth that the Jade Emperor collected for me.

He accepted it while thanking him.

Now, only four spiritual roots of heaven and earth are left to make the "Lianxu Hedao Soup".

He was thinking that once the war here was over, he would go collect materials, and by then his cultivation would surely improve dramatically.

Based on past experience, Chen Yun had enough reasons to believe that once he took the "Lianxu Hedao Decoction", his cultivation would be able to rapidly increase to the middle and late stages of the Heavenly Immortal Realm in a short period of time.

As for how to break through to the Half-Step Daluo realm, once you reach the middle and late stages of the Heavenly Immortal realm, you will have to practice hard for a while.

No matter what, having the magic soup is definitely a great joy for me.

Chen Yun was particularly satisfied. It was not in vain that he had fought hard with the Nine Star Lord before. Now he finally had a rich harvest.

After a few sighs, he looked at Master Xu and said, "Master, God once said that Mori Putian might join the battle next. She is at the half-step Daluo realm. Can you fight her?"

Xu Xun laughed dumbly and said, "I am only in the late stage of the Heavenly Immortal Realm. How can I possibly compete with a Half-Step Daluo?"

Ok.

It seems that when Mori Putian joins the battle, I will still have to ask my master or Queen Mother to come out.

Chen Yun felt a little regretful.

Xu Xun continued, "I came here to help Master Chen deal with the stars in the sky and the Milky Way."

Chen Yun blinked and said, "Can the Heavenly Master fight against so many sacred beings alone?"

Xu Xun said speechlessly, "Master Chen, please don't joke. How can I fight against so many gods? God just let me lead the charge, and he will send more people later."

Chen Yun asked with interest: "Who else will come?"

Xu Xun said: "I don't know the details, but Tianshi Zhang and Tianshi Ge will definitely come together."

Chen Yun and Zhang Tianshi were old acquaintances, so he wasn't particularly looking forward to it, but he was very interested in Ge Xuan.

After all, the immortal Zuo Ci once said that Master Ge had learned the three escapes of heaven, earth and man from the "Dunjia Heavenly Book".

He was thinking about one thing. If Master Ge really came, could he ask him for some advice, such as mastering the "Dunjia Heavenly Book" thoroughly?

If he could really master the "Dunjia Heavenly Book" thoroughly, his cultivation might not improve much, but his combat effectiveness would definitely increase dramatically.

Why is Chen Yun so sure?
It's a very simple truth. He learned the power of laws such as "killing" and "trapping" from Tiger Escape, which allows him to challenge opponents of higher levels.

The Tiger Escape is only the "Lower Six Escapes" in the "Dunjia Heavenly Book", and the three escapes of Heaven, Earth and Man are the essence.

If I could comprehend the three escape techniques, my combat power would definitely increase dramatically.

In fact, the power of the laws in the "Dunjia Book" is not only used for fighting.

For example, Chen Yun later comprehended the power of the law of "deduction".

Although this law does not have much offensive power, it helped Chen Yun deduce the seventh level of the "Mr. Chen's Inner Alchemy Technique". He is still deducing the eighth level, which can be said to be an excellent "auxiliary" skill.

In other words, if he could truly comprehend the "Dunjia Heavenly Book", the gains at that time might not only be a surge in combat power, but it would also be of great help to his cultivation.

Chen Yun clearly remembered that the immortal Zuo Ci once told him that if he could thoroughly comprehend the "Dunjia Heavenly Book", it would not be impossible for him to achieve Daluo.

That's why he was so looking forward to Ge Xuan's arrival.
