Tao and Heaven

Chapter 86 Luoshui wants to be surnamed Gu

The three religions of Buddhism, Taoism and Demonism exist side by side among the human race.

Buddhism emphasizes saving all living beings, pursuing enlightenment, eliminating greed, anger, and ignorance, and achieving the state of nirvana. Therefore, Buddhist monks are generally kind and have a face. They control a large amount of incense from the secular world and are good at the soul.

However, there are often some monks who cannot stand the harsh rules and turn to the devil's way. There are also often eminent monks who hope to convert the devil, so this is often criticized as being false.

The Demon Sect emphasizes following one's heart and pursuing the return to the ancient gods in order to seek the innate power, that is, to seek the power of the ancient innate gods in human bodies. Therefore, the monks of the Demon Sect tend to be evil, without rules and constraints, and often drink blood and refine souls in order to seek power. There are many crazy people in the Demon Sect.

There is also a saying that a devil can become a Buddha instantly by laying down his butcher knife. Although sins cannot be eliminated by laying down the butcher knife, there are many people who follow the Buddhist concept of eliminating greed, anger, and ignorance and achieve Buddhahood.

Therefore, there is a frequent flow of personnel between the Buddhist and demonic sects, and outstanding students often meet each other for academic exchanges.

Taoism emphasizes understanding the great way of heaven and earth, the unity of heaven and man, cultivating the supreme great way, and reaching a state of transcendence. Therefore, Taoist monks are neither good nor evil. They will not always think about saving all living beings like Buddhists, but they will never harm people like the demons.

Be free and easy, cultivate immortality and seek the truth, do nothing and be moderate.

However, there are also sects like the Yin-Yang Sect that often emerge, which learn from and draw on the Hehuan Sect, taking its essence and discarding its dross, and are both good and evil.

As Gu Wen's spiritual teacher, Yu Hua has always instilled in Gu Wen the extremely orthodox Taoist ideas of "the Taoist wants to become an immortal" and "it's none of my business, nor yours".

Therefore, Gu Wen did not think that there was anything wrong with his behavior. Instead, he felt that there was something wrong with the two geniuses of the Demon Sect in front of him.

If you don't remove the roots of the problem, there will be endless trouble!
At this moment, He Qing and Lu Chan fell into silence.

He Qing felt that Lu Chan was too radical. Although the fighting among the demon sects was fierce and it was not uncommon for the elders of the sect to suppress the new generation of geniuses, everyone was generally restrained. Otherwise, the old and new generations would always confront each other, and sooner or later the strong would wither.

Directly destroying the sect would not only weaken oneself, but also further alienate the sect.
Lu Chan felt that He Qing was too conservative. According to the rules, everything in the Immortal Realm was helped by the worldly people. She needed a lot of resources to condense her Tao foundation and win a future at the top of the fourth realm. If she was delayed by one step, she might not be able to make up for it in her whole life.

Gu Wen felt that the two of them were not radical enough.

"Isn't this not good?"

Lu Chan looked hesitant. The radicals thought he was a bit too radical, but for some reason they felt their heart beating faster.

It's not about Gu Wen, but about this kind of killing and trampling on the older generation that makes him excited.

"No!" He Qing shook his head firmly and said, "There are three True Lords in the five major families of Luoshui. Although the strongest one is only at the seventh level of Dao foundation and the second level of perfection, they are definitely not something we can deal with."

Gu Wen said: "The Three Pure Ones Dharma Protector has the fourth level of the eighth level of Dao Foundation Perfection. I can ask him to help."

Although Yu Hua did not make a move, there was no reason why Ao Tang could not make a move. He did not make a move before because he did not want to expose too much in front of the other party, and he had no reason or pretext to drive the other party.

Besides, when the younger ones fight, the older ones are not supposed to intervene, otherwise everything will be a mess.

Now there is no need to worry about exterminating the whole family. Yu Hua promised to provide any help, and I believe Ao Tang will not refuse.

Hearing this, Lu Chan was already shaken, and even eager to give it a try, "If that old fellow who has reached the second level of perfection in the seventh level of Taoism is restrained, we can indeed give it a try."

"This"

He Qing felt bad, this was not the situation he wanted to see. Unlike the situation with the Qianfeng Sect, the situation between him and the sect was not so tense, it was just that the benefits were not evenly distributed.

But now it is not about how far he will go, but whether or not to join. Not joining will probably not prevent Gu Wen from destroying the Rong family.

'I'm afraid he had planned this.'

Glancing at Gu Wen, just his smile sent a chill down He Qing's spine.

Suddenly, an idea flashed in his mind, and he grasped the key to breaking the impasse. He said, "They are the forces that the sect has planted in the mortal world, and they are also the power to check and balance the imperial court. If they are gone, the Daojun Emperor will completely control this place. Daoist friend, you probably don't want to see that, right?"

Unexpectedly, Gu Wen smiled and said, "A coward who fears death will eventually die, and a mediocre person who fears power will not be successful. Since the talented people in the immortal world are on top, why should I be afraid?"

He must get this thousand kilograms of elixir. Gu Wen never thought that hiding his identity would be safe, and he did not think that not provoking Emperor Daojun would delay his death.

Others fear Emperor Daojun because they don't know if they can reach his level, but Gu Wen doesn't have such worries. He is only worried that he is not growing fast enough.

A coward who fears death will eventually die, and a mediocre person who fears the strong will never succeed?
Both of them were stunned, and a surge of madness came over them.

They had all witnessed Gu Wen's arrogance. He dared to kill the descendants of the Emperor Daojun in front of him, and dared to face the True Lord of the Military Strategy with the cultivation of the third level of Dao, and he was even able to fight Xiao Yunyi with a cultivation level one level lower.

As the top ten of the three lists, they all possessed pride, but they seemed a little short of breath in front of Gu Wen.

Lu Chan said with a burning gaze: "If I want to attack the five great families of Luoshui, I need to get 80% of the Wang family's elixirs."

"What is your realm?" Gu Wen raised his eyebrows. He did not refuse the other party to take more, and specified that the Wang family was equivalent to 80% of one fifth.

Lu Chan slightly revealed the aura of Taoism, and in an instant a vague figure formed in the minds of the two people. The waiter of the inn directly bumped into the pillar, and the dogs outside were dazzled.

The fox fairy in the sixth realm of the Earth List has the strongest illusion technique of the time.

Even Gu Wen at this moment could not be completely immune. He could control himself, but he was not immune to illusions.

"I recently broke through to the fourth level of Dao foundation and reached the second level of perfection."

"can."

Gu Wen nodded, and after a brief comparison in his mind, he realized that the other party had been left far behind him.

When they were still in Bian Jing, the two of them were at about the same level. Lu Chan should have surpassed him in realm, but he was better at fighting.

He Qing was silent for a while. He felt Gu Wen's gaze and invisible pressure arose spontaneously.

Obviously, they were the ones who came to find each other, but as soon as Gu Wen sat down, the momentum of the two was completely suppressed, and they naturally acquiesced to the other's dominance.

"After all, the Rong family is supported by my sect and they share the same master." He Qing displayed his cultivation level, the fifth level of Taoism, the second level of perfection.

It was obvious that his talent was not as good as Lu Chan's. He failed to achieve the third level of perfection, so he had to settle for the next best thing and improve his ordinary Taoist foundation first.

"I have to take more, otherwise my conscience will be uneasy. I want all the elixirs from the Rong family."

"Can you handle or get rid of the Rong family's master?"

"can."

In a few words, Zhenjun seemed to be completely worthless, but there were also differences between Zhenjun. The seventh level, who was equal to Gu Wen and had no perfection, was called Zhenjun, and Ao Tang, who had a total of twelve levels of cultivation, was also called Zhenjun.

Just like the master's degree in the previous life, a one-year master's degree is also called a master's degree, and graduates from the world's top universities are also called masters.

What’s more, those present are all in the top ten of the three lists, and they are all the top powers in the future cultivation world.

Afterwards, Gu Wen went upstairs to find Ao Tang, explained the pros and cons, and appealed to his emotions and reason, and he almost issued a manifesto to the five major families.

It was as if he was the emperor of Daqian, and he wanted to shout, "Master Dao's elixir, they put the blame on me, and they won't give me 80% of the elixir?"

Ao Tang was speechless, but still agreed, but only this time.

Because he is already a high-level strong man, it would have a bad impact if he took action personally. The Qianfeng Sect and the Xue Pu Sect where He Qing is located are not without strong men of the same level as him.

In the evening, Gu Wen found He Huan and Murong Suyue, and they were frightened when they heard that he was really going to take action against the five major families.

After knowing the number of participants, they all agreed.

They were sitting at the wine table in the inn. He Huan looked at Lu Chan on the left, then at He Qing, and then at Gu Wen who looked like an old boss.

He said excitedly, "Let's start with the Wang family tonight."

This was simply a bandit meeting, so it was hard to doubt that his situation was extremely dangerous. He Qing suddenly said, "Daoyou Hongchen, have you ever thought about what to do if Zhejian Mountain enters the scene? Although Zhejian Mountain is not in Luoshui, they are the undisputed leaders of this area. And Xiao Yunyi is a big problem. This person is known as the third on the sword refining list, and he can refine a sword in thirty days."

"For a military swordsman, refining a spirit sword is the best way to test the sword art. He has been the most talented person in Zhejian Mountain for thousands of years."

Everyone looked solemn. He Huan was the most informed and said, "Xiao Yunyi has a fairy sword in his hand. He used it to kill a Taoist seventh-level warrior before."

"Don't worry about that." Lu Chan obviously had some friendship with the other party, and said: "He is a wooden man. If he is so shrewd and utilitarian, he would not be the seventh now."

Kill the Seventh Level with the Immortal Sword
Gu Wen pondered for a moment. It seemed that he really needed a good weapon, so he had to prepare to refine the heirloom in his hand.

I tried to refine it some time ago, and using the Emperor's juice can indeed attract the true spirit of the heirloom, but twenty years is not enough to refine it in one go.

If he wants to refine it, he may need a long battle, and he may not even be able to defeat the heirloom spirit. After all, this is different from the loach in the Blue Eyed Water Pearl, it is a genuine Taoist weapon.

"It's the middle of the night, be careful with candles!"

clang!
The sound of gongs came from outside. The night watchman passed by the inn and saw that the lights were on and there was no curfew. He was a little surprised but did not dare to ask more.

Gu Wen stood up first, and the rest stood up one after another and followed him out of the inn.

He Huan asked, "Don't you need to wear a mask? Aren't you going to make some preparations?"

Gu Wen grinned: "A thousand calculations are no match for a punch, just follow me, tonight Luoshui's surname is Gu."

Now his total cultivation level is the seventh level, and those of the same level are not qualified to stand in front of him. Those who are one level higher than him can only tie, or even be beaten to death by him, because they were tied by Xiao Yunyi who jumped levels.

The old innkeeper at the back was collecting the leftovers. Seeing their backs, he felt a little melancholy and said with emotion: "It's good to be young."

Many years ago, before Daqian was established, he was also one of the many young geniuses.

As time passed, the place of immortality opened again, and he had become one of the mediocre people who risked his life to enter this place again, just to rely on the spiritual objects here to improve his Taoism foundation and seek a breakthrough in his cultivation.

There are two kinds of people in the land of immortality, one is the young and ambitious genius, the other is the aging talent.
-
"Boy, bring me a pot of good wine."

Ao Tang walked down from upstairs, and he turned into a big man with a face full of stubble.

"I suddenly miss the drink Yun Miao and I had seven hundred years ago."

The old shopkeeper smiled and said, "You still remember after so long?"

"Of course I remember. Your craftsmanship is rare in a thousand years. You are the only True Lord of Wine in the world of wine."

"But the Master of the Miscellaneous Family is not up to par."

Ao Tang revealed the other party's identity, and the old shopkeeper, who was a true monarch, was not arrogant. He took out a white jade pot from his sleeve and poured out wine with a fragrance that spread for five miles.

Jiu Zhenjun asked: "Senior, you are the elder of the Three Pure Ones Sect, why did you take the risk this time?"

Ao Tang asked back: "Do you want the elixir of immortality?"

In just a moment, greed could not be suppressed in the eyes of this True Lord, and he was stunned for a long time before gradually restraining himself.

Ao Tang said: "The goddess of our Taoist sect is unrivaled in the world. Even if dozens of True Lords attack together, her strength will only reduce her lifespan by one third."

"At least she's going to die, isn't she?"

Jiu Zhenjun's eyes were full of obsession, wavering between his inner demons and reason. For a moment, he sobered up and called for help.

"I'm scared, I'm scared to death, Senior. But I can't help it, this is a great disaster, can you save me, Senior?"

He was sure that when the elixir of immortality appeared, he would rush over without hesitation, abandoning his thousand years of practice and the remaining thousand years of life just to become an immortal.

Even though his fighting power as a True Lord of Zadao is just like a moth flying into a flame, as long as he gets a little closer to the chance of becoming an immortal, he would be satisfied even if he turns into ashes.

At least he had the chance to pursue immortality, instead of facing a hopeless future like now.

This is a murderous intention from heaven, and the stars will move and change their positions. Even the True Lord who exists like a star will perish.

Ao Tang could empathize with him, he also got into the game because of the elixir of immortality, otherwise, with his identity as the assistant of the Three Dynasties Taoist Heavenly Master, he would not have put himself in such a risk.

He stayed obediently in Sanqing Mountain. As a divine beast in the world's number one Xuanmen holy land, he lived a very comfortable life.

It cannot be saved unless there is a second Taoist goddess, a peerless existence that is enough to shock everyone.

When Ao Tang got to this point, he suddenly had an idea and thought of Gu Wen.

"I have a way that may save you."

It is also to consider the old relationship and to reduce some trouble.

Jiu Zhenjun seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw, and hurriedly asked: "Senior, please tell me, if you can really resolve this disaster, I will give you a jar of Tianling wine."

"No need to give it to me. If you see clearly, you will know who to give it to."

Ao Tang shook his head, and then just uttered two words.

"Gu Wen."

"Ok?"

Ao Tang didn't say much, but shook his head and said, "If you can't see through it, you deserve this disaster."

Once Jiu Zhenjun steps into the calamity of the elixir of immortality, he will definitely not survive. He will throw himself into the flame and become one of the calamities that weaken Yu Hua.

He won't be the first, and he certainly won't be the last.

There are few people in the world who can resist the opportunity to become an immortal. Even if it is just to become a stepping stone for others to embark on the road to immortality, they would feel honored. This is cultivation, and it is even more so for human cultivators.

Jiu Zhenjun frowned, not understanding why Gu Wen could make him let go of his obsession. He was indeed a well-deserved genius and more talented than himself.

But there is only a difference in level, not a substantial difference like the Taoist goddesses who possess immortal powers.

He is a mortal, Gu Wen is also a mortal, only the celestial maiden is an immortal.

Boom!

There was a loud bang, followed by a roar.

"Who are you? Tell me your name."

"I am Gu Wen, I am here to destroy your family."

Jiu Zhenjun was a little stunned. He had been listening to the plan of Gu Wen and his group of young people, but he had never said that they would come so openly.

On the second floor, Yu Hua leaned against the window, gazing into the distance with a hint of surprise in his eyes.

The fourth level of Dao foundation? He was at the third level two days ago, but now he is at the fourth level.

Only half a year had passed, and from an ordinary person he had caught up with other geniuses, but the gap between them was still slightly widening.

　There's one more, but it might be later.
