Taoist Master Xuanhuang

"The Minghu area is 200 miles long and was once a place for leisure and entertainment. Once a strange area arose, it was abandoned due to the foul smell. Fortunately, the Xuanhuang Dao method appeared and the evil wind was temporarily suppressed..."

The Minghu area is sparsely populated, but it was once extremely prosperous.

A storyteller and singer was singing a song in a very rhythmic manner.

He was very lucky today as he got a big job, which was introduced to him by a group of monks.

The employer was a man who looked like a weak scholar, a little unreal, and dressed like an ancient person.

He didn't know that the person in front of him was called Zuo Qiuming.

He is the king of the Confucian Temple realm. Due to his special practice, he has been walking outside since he awakened.

Zuo Qiuming particularly liked the area governed by Xuanhuang, because this was where human joys, sorrows, anger and happiness could be experienced, and this magnificent scenery needed to be recorded.

"My lord, how is it?"

The storyteller asked carefully after he finished singing.

He is just an ordinary person. Before the mysterious event, he was an excellent student with a rich family background, and his major was definitely not the current rap.

He used to be a programmer, but after his mysterious resurrection, especially in the first few years, he experienced life and death many times.

Later he lost his job and had to rely on government relief to survive.

The government at that time could only provide emergency relief but not help the poor. If you were dying, they would save you, but you would need to find another way to make a living.

The storyteller picked up the instrument that he used to hate, but he still had the basic skills he had acquired since childhood.

Relying on rap, he mixed in the former spiritual master's club or martial arts monk's club.

After the strange revival, many of the previous entertainment methods were destroyed. If it weren't for the strange network of Dragon Master Long Yue, it would be very difficult to connect, let alone entertainment.

Therefore, it seems like we have returned to the period before liberation, with many fewer options for entertainment.

Spiritual masters and warriors also need entertainment and relaxation, so many ancient skills have been rediscovered.

Storytelling and singing is one of them.

He made a living by relying on his family's storytelling and singing, which was much better than many of his former colleagues.

At least, you're still alive.

It was not until three or four years ago, when Xuanhuang began to rise, especially with Nanshi as the starting point and the emergence of new government, that he completely got rid of the precarious situation.

The warriors have become monks, and the spiritual masters are about to be driven away.

He remembers it vividly. Gou Jianren, who was once one of the vice presidents of Nan City, remembers that he had performed for this adult many times.

I heard that he later rebelled and tried to murder Master Xuan, but was beaten away by Master Xuan.

It is said that the former Minister Xu Ruyi and the spiritual masters of Haidai Headquarters also moved to Nanshi.

But I haven't heard from them for a long time.

It is said that they moved away a year ago and went to the headquarters, Xiadu. Those who don’t want to go to Xiadu went to other places, at their own convenience.

There are also some who are said to not want to leave or go anywhere, so they change their path of practice and become monks.

The storyteller doesn’t think these spiritual masters are suffering.

On the contrary, I think it’s great. If I want to be a spiritual master, I can be one. If I don’t want to be one, I can transform into a monk. It’s really a rich and noble life.

Unlike ordinary people like us, if we can become spiritual masters or monks and have a choice, we feel that we have changed our destiny.

The storyteller's memories were interrupted and he was brought back to reality.

"Not bad, not bad, what you said is very good, I am very satisfied, do you want money or points for your reward?"

Zuo Qiuming asked.

Zuo Qiuming may be the only creature in the realm with points at present.

In order to travel around the Xuanhuang territory, he naturally followed the local customs, obtained a points card specifically, and recharged it in exchange for a lot of points.

The recharge is a weird thing caught from the realm. There are a lot of this thing in every realm.

What’s more, it is a top-level realm like the Confucian Temple.

It should be noted that you should not think that the realms such as the Temple of Literature and the Temple of Martial Arts are small. They are indeed called temples, but they are also top-level realms.

Any top-level realm is no less than a world, and a very large one at that.

Using modern human measurement methods, Zuo Qiuming calculated that it is at least one light year long, and is still continuing to expand and develop.

In such a large area, besides these sacred things, there are also many strange things.

The territory of Xuanhuang is strangely scarce, but it is not rare in the realm.

Zuo Qiuming grabbed a few at random and sold them, but he couldn't use the extra points.

"Ah, this! Sir, I, I want points, but I can't use them."

The storyteller said excitedly and nervously.

As a storyteller, he is naturally well-informed and how could he not know the role of points.

When he sang for many monks, they shared their experiences with him.

They all lamented that it was difficult to earn points, and their expressions were exactly the same as their own when they worked hard to just earn enough food and clothing.

Ordinary people like us are struggling to get enough food and clothing, while the monks are also struggling for points.

At that time, he had a brief feeling that ordinary people and monks were no different, although this feeling was very short.

"Oh, I'll give you the money." Zuo Qiuming said.

money?
The storyteller was suddenly stunned, not knowing whether he was possessed by a demon or what.

At this moment, I suddenly felt that money was not important, and I seemed to desire something else more.

As for what it is, I don’t know, but the feeling of suppression and desire is unmistakable.

"Sir, may I know what you are recording? Why are you doing this?"

The storyteller didn't know where he got the courage from, but he asked boldly.

In fact, there is nothing wrong with asking this question. This is no longer the era ruled by spiritual masters. The monks are easy to talk to, especially towards ordinary people. They dare not get angry easily.

This is not in line with the original intention of the master to protect the people, and taking out his anger on ordinary people will make him looked down upon by his peers.

Once this trend spread, monks became particularly friendly to ordinary people, as if they wanted to prove their own strength and "nobility".

Although a lot of it is hypocritical, false goodness is always better than real evil.

The reason why the storyteller is so cautious, or the reason why ordinary people nowadays are the same as before, is that they are afraid of provoking the monks.

Half of the reason is the aftereffects caused by the previous spiritual master's rule.

The other half have truly witnessed how powerful the monks are.

To take the most common example, monks mutilate themselves to cultivate their bodies, which scares ordinary people. If they do this to themselves, wouldn’t they be even more cruel to others?

Only a fool would provoke such a ruthless person.

Because the monks are really powerful, and in order to protect them, they often use their magic power in front of the public. Ordinary people are instinctively afraid of them, as if they are two different levels of life.

An extraordinary monk standing in front of an ordinary person, his pressure and aura alone are enough to make the ordinary person dare not breathe.

Under such a premise, there would never be any idiot who would deliberately provoke the monks.

Even if Aotian wanted to provoke him, he would instinctively grab him and say to him: No, you don’t want to.

"I'm practicing!"

Zuo Qiuming said.

He became a little interested, out of the instinct of a strongest recorder.

"Practice? Can you practice by recording? I heard that practicing requires meditation, breathing, and physical training?"

The storyteller gradually became a little bolder.

The main reason was that this gentleman was so kind and amiable, and his smile was so warm that I couldn't control myself at all.

I want to express everything I know and my feelings.

He didn't understand why this happened.

"There are many ways to practice, not just meditation and breathing as you said. Recording is also a form of practice, just like your rapping, it is also a form of practice."

Zuo Qiuming said with a hint of meaning, "Rap is also a form of spiritual practice?"

The storyteller was startled, as if his soul had been struck hard, and he was in a trance and out of control.

"Rap is also a kind of Taoism, as long as you don't sing and dance. Ahem, of course that's fine too."

Zuo Qiuming still knew a lot.

"Rap? Practice!"

The storyteller didn't listen and was shocked by what Zuo Qiuming said just now.

"Okay, I know what your reward is. Here's the book for you. Take it and study it carefully. Ji*fu will be able to comprehend the way of heaven on his own."

Zuo Qiuming took out a book from somewhere with the words "Entering the Tao" written on it.

From the style of writing, you can tell that he wrote it himself.

While the storyteller was in a daze, he gave the book to the storyteller as payment and left.

The storyteller was left with a thousand words to say but didn't know where to start.

Perhaps, the trajectory of his life began to change.

perhaps.

"My Lord, do you think highly of this storyteller? I don't feel that he has any talent for cultivation?"

On the other side, the three new government officials accompanying Zuo Qiuming asked curiously.

After all, Zuo Qiuming is recognized by scholars as the sage of history, the sage of literature, and the ancestor of historians. His "Zuo Zhuan" has been passed down for generations.

The new government was headed by a Confucian. The Confucian school attached great importance to this man who came out to practice in the Xuanshi territory.

There are always a few Confucian monks following him.

The person who asked the questions was the monk who followed Zuo Qiuming.

Coincidentally, his surname is also Zuo, and it is said that he is a descendant of Zuo Qiuming, but this cannot be verified.

"You can't feel it because your cultivation is not enough. The sky has changed!"

Zuo Qiuming was actually very polite to others, but he was always criticized by people with the surname Zuo, and no one knew why.

"The sky has changed?" asked the monk who followed him.

do not understand the meaning.

"Fellow Daoist Xuan Huang has already broken through to the third level, and this is not an ordinary third level, it is a breakthrough that can change the fate of a region. In simple terms, the Heavenly Dao of South City, including Qingyun Mountain, has appeared. Do you understand what I mean?"

Zuo Qiuming Dao.

The three of them thought about it for a moment, and although they didn't know the details, they roughly understood what it meant.

The world before was a world where the laws of nature were distorted. Due to the integration of many small worlds, the rules were broken. The broken fragments combined with human desires became all kinds of difficult and weird things.

When Mr. Zuo Qiuming said that the sky had changed, he did not mean that the fusion of the entire heaven and earth had been completed.

It means that the Qingyun Mountain area in Nanshi has become stable due to the appearance of Master Xuan.

In other words, the Xuanshi, after his breakthrough, replaced a part of the Heavenly Dao.

A stable heavenly way appeared, and extraordinary spiritual energy was purified due to Xuan Huang's existence.

It is equivalent to the beginning of the era of spiritual practice.

The advent of an era of spiritual practice requires at least two conditions. One is extraordinary energy, such as aura.

The second is the stable operation of the Heavenly Dao. Xuan Huang's breakthrough, especially the Lord of All Living Things' collection of all the causes and effects of all living beings, represents the emergence of a relatively stable Heavenly Dao.

This heavenly way is Xuan Huang, or the master of all living beings.

Previously, Xuan Huang's will suppression could replace the stable way of heaven, but it ultimately required a visualization diagram, and the cultivator needed to comprehend it and condense it in his soul.

Now, to go a step further, perhaps it is not necessary to condense it in the soul, but it can be done simply in the South City of Qingyun Mountain where Xuan Huang is.

When such an environment appears, even if the three fundamental laws are not present, as long as the environment is sufficient, beings with great wisdom can still start their path of cultivation from it.

This is what it means to learn from the heaven and earth, and this heaven and earth is currently mysterious and yellow.

However, it is limited to the very small area of ​​Qingyun Mountain in Nanshi.

Unlike the Way of Heaven, it does not cover the entire universe.

"I understand!"

The Confucian monk named Zuo suddenly realized.

"Hmph, you evil creature, what do you know?" Zuo Qiuming asked unconsciously angrily.

To be honest, he himself doesn't understand.

The "not understanding" here means that I don't understand thoroughly, I simply know that it is because of Taoist Xuanhuang.

"I, I... I understand that Master Xuan has become more powerful, and therefore has replaced part of the power of the Heavenly Dao, so I can comprehend and practice." The Confucian monk named Zuo said with a red face.

"What is the specific reason?" Zuo Qiuming continued to ask.

"Specifically? How would I know the specifics? I know it's because of Master Xuan, that's enough. As for the specific reason... I don't care what it is."

This guy just gave up and let it go, doing whatever he wanted.

Originally, he had a very good impression of this senior, who was his legendary ancestor. But this old Deng always criticized him, which was so annoying.

He just disliked himself, but he was very friendly to his other colleagues.

"You, you are a piece of rotten wood that cannot be carved. Where is your desire for knowledge?"

Zuo Qiuming seemed to be angry too.

"Ahem, senior, calm down, please calm down. After all, Fellow Daoist Zuo has such a high level of cultivation. We are actually just like this. Do we know the detailed reasons? Don't be angry, you can tell us!"

The two people who were trying to mediate the fight hurriedly tried to smooth things over.

By the way, gain some knowledge and enhance your accumulation.

"I'm too lazy to talk to you." Zuo Qiuming waved his sleeves and left.

I'm so ashamed that I don't even know it.

How did Fellow Daoist Xuanhuang do it?

How can a mere third level person replace the Heavenly Dao of a certain realm?

What kind of heaven-defying method is this?
The three fundamental methods of Xuanhuang's first-level transformation are recognized as the three invincible methods, and all the saints in the world know this.

Not many of the second-level ones have been circulated. Not much has been revealed about those who can practice it, such as Ji Zhongfu and Tushan Holy Mother, which has led to few of them being circulated outside.

The sacredness of the realm is still not sure whether Taoist Xuanhuang’s magic can still maintain the strength of invincibility when it reaches the second level of Tongxuan.

Not to mention the third level.

This is how the martial arts work. Although the first-level invincible method is great.

But depending on the person, it is priceless in the eyes of ordinary monks.

But for the masters, especially those who started from the fourth level of the sacred realm, it is actually not taken seriously.

If they put in some effort, they can create a first-level invincible method. After all, their skills are there.

but!

But if you are invincible at the first level, invincible at the second level, invincible at the third level... and still invincible at the sixth or seventh level, that’s a different story.

It is even difficult to describe this method in words for a moment.

I don't know how to describe it.

Therefore, the third-level Xuan Huang had some ability of the Heavenly Dao, which Zuo Qiuming couldn't understand.

Is it still invincible at the third level?

Isn’t this too outrageous?

It's impossible for you to create an invincible method for the corresponding level just because you step into a new level!

Zuo Qiuming also didn’t understand why the third-level Xuanhuang Taoist could achieve this.
