Immortality: Start with the Gourd Sword Art

Chapter 181 Internal strife between Taoism and Buddhism, Empress Qiao is crowned the Great Treasure
"You are finally back."

Two rays of light flew from the mountain and landed in Zhong Shenxiu's small courtyard. One was the tall and straight but somewhat tired Master Qiao Xuan, and the other one had a pair of small dragon horns on his head. He was too beautiful to look at. A human-blooded female dragon.

"Master?"

Xu Li looked at his master, and then at the female dragon who was leaning on his master with a happy look on her face.

Seeing Xu Li's wandering eyes, Master Qiao Xuan felt a little embarrassed, a little unlucky, and a little angry. He shouted: "I came to see you because of business."

"This is the disciple 'Xu Li' you often talk about, Qiao Lang!"

Master Qiao Xuan became angry because of embarrassment, but this real dragon, who should, maybe, um, be the master's wife, let go of Master Qiao Xuan's arm, imitating the mortal women of the Tang Dynasty, and first moved towards Zhong Shenxiu and Zhi Gong Yingying. He saluted and shouted "I've seen my brother, I've seen my uncle", and then smiled and said to Xu Lida:

"I am your master's wife."

Facing this real dragon who was not from Chixian Shenzhou, Zhong Shenxiu had no expression on his face and just nodded as a response.

Zen Master Zhi Gong returned the salute with a smile. As a junior, Xu Li did not dare to respond carelessly and could only look at his master Qiao Xuan.

Anyway, Chixian Shenzhou is now in complete chaos. "

"As soon as I get back, the sky in China will not turn upside down. Sit down and talk slowly." Zhong Shenxiu waved his hand, and the stone table and bench placed in the corner of the courtyard were photographed.

Master Zhenlong responded with a smile on her face, but Master Qiao Xuan was so embarrassed that he quickly interrupted:
"A big thing has happened in China. If you don't come back, Taibai Sword Sect will really not be able to hold on."

Xu Li bowed and smiled secretly in his heart. It seemed that the union between his master and his wife was not a happy one, but the result seemed to be good.

Luoyang and other key places of the Tang Dynasty are controlled by Qiao Ling'er and the escaped Taiyin Cult ancestors. Grasslands, southern Xinjiang and other places are also about to make moves. The Xuanmen and Buddhism have completely fallen out. Everyone knows that as long as there is an opportunity, these self-identified orthodox guys will not mind burying Xuanmen and Buddhism together.

However, these bald donkeys underestimated Qiao Ling'er, and before they really benefited from it, they were sold to Qiao Ling'er. Not to mention, they also caused a lot of trouble. Now you have also seen that the entire Tang Dynasty After two points, the ministers loyal to the Li family and many members of the Li Tang clan raised troops to resist.

It's no wonder that he has only been out for so many years. It turns out that he was recruited by the Nine Divisions of the True Dragon as his son-in-law.

Master Qiao Xuan's face turned blue and white. After snorting, he responded in a low voice, "Yeah."

The Buddhists thought they had a plan, and cooperated with the propaganda to help her ascend to the great treasure, dominate the world as a woman, and completely seize the foundation of the Tang Dynasty.

"I've met Master's wife."

Zhong Shenxiu was the Dinghai Shenzhen of Taibai Sword Sect at this time. Master Qiao Xuan said he was serious, but after meeting this master disciple, he actually became less anxious. Everyone sat down and said:
"It's a long story. My Qiao family has a lineage that has been in Luoyang. The head of the family has a daughter named Qiao Ling'er. She married the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty who was the King of Chu more than 20 years ago. The year before last, the Tang Dynasty The emperor died of illness, and Qiao Ling'er somehow got involved with Buddhism and the Taiyin Sect. First, she helped Buddhism suppress Taoism, making Louguan Taoism disgraced. Then she used Buddhism to seize the power of the Tang Dynasty, claiming that she was the future. Buddha reincarnated.

This Qiao Ling'er was none other than the somewhat brainless eldest daughter of the Qiao family who wanted to be Xu Li's disciple in Luoyang, but was deceived by Xu Li.

It's just that Xu Like knows very well who Miss Qiao is. Does she have the ability to play with Taoism, Buddhism and applause, and turn everything upside down?
"Could this be a time traveler?"

Being looked down upon by others, and then traveling through time, pretending to be a cup of tea and slapping him in the face all the way, and finally standing in front of him, the big villain, he said the last sentence, Thirty years in the east of Hedong, thirty years in Hexi, don't you think that the girl had no brains at the beginning?
This is too much. While listening, Xu Li complained secretly. In the Central Galaxy, he was the leader of the anti-Seven Phoenix Alliance and defeated the Patriarch in a duel. He had to maintain a little dignity and not go too far.

But when he returned to Chixian Shenzhou, everyone present here were all elders. He could not suppress his always flexible mind, and all kinds of strange and wonderful ideas emerged one after another.

Of course, now that he has become the soul, he no longer has to deliberately suppress and practice. Every stage has its own changes.

When practicing qi, it is not a good thing to have such an overly flexible mind, but after becoming a soul, it is a great thing.

Just like what cultivators say about the perfection of the Tao mind, it has always been a false proposition. What if the Tao mind is perfect at the level of Qi training, what if it reaches the Yuanshen level?

Many practitioners do stupid things, not because their Taoist heart is not good, but because their Taoist heart is perfect and no longer matches their current Dharma and Dao practice. However, they still don’t know it and only think that their original Taoist heart Consummation is the current perfection of Tao mind.

The Taoist mind has never been truly perfect. Every step in the Taoist practice, the understanding of the Tao and the perspective on things will change, and the Taoist mind will naturally change along with it.

The Taoist ancestors and Buddhas in Xu Li's previous lives practiced a kind of great wisdom, great detachment, and great enlightenment.

Although they have boundless magical power, these magical powers are only incidental.

Ordinary people envy their boundless magic power, but those who are truly successful in practice will know.

What Taoist ancestors and Buddhas left to the world are actually their own methods of cultivating wisdom, detachment and enlightenment.

It's just that most people in the world are obsessed with external appearances and cannot see the real Dafa.

Xu Li didn't understand these principles before. It was only after he received the Beidi Tianpeng Divine Curse and his Taoism surpassed the realm of the so-called Yuanshen that he gradually became aware of these principles.

In fact, what Xu Li wants to do most right now is to take all the Taoist and Buddhist scriptures that he thought were ordinary in his previous life and understand them word by word.

There is truly a supreme Dharma in these Taoist scriptures and Buddhist scriptures. This kind of Dharma does not teach people how to cultivate magic power, but allows you to understand what the real Tao is. It teaches you to develop your own supreme wisdom and then transcend the supreme Tao. method.

It's a pity that even if Xu Li has cultivated into Yuanshen and can recall all his memories and check them bit by bit, he can only get a scratch.

Even in the most classic "Tao Te Ching", he only got more than a hundred of the most widely circulated sentences.

Not even one-tenth of the entire volume.

"My disciple has seen this Miss Qiao before. She is just a spoiled lady from a high family. It is impossible for her to have the ability to play with Taoism and Buddhism like this. I am afraid that she was taken away from her body a long time ago. Now she is just thinking about it with this body. They just want to plot against me, Taibai Sword Sect."

Although she complained in her heart that Miss Qiao got the time traveler script, it was just a complaint. After thinking about it for a moment, she hid the secrets and guessed nine out of ten of them, including who was behind it and what purpose they wanted to achieve. You can make a rough guess right away.
