From a Zhengyi Taoist Child to a Master of All Laws

Chapter 115: The Venerable Zhu Xie [Long chapter, please vote, please subscribe! ]

The 30th day of the lunar year, the 10th day of the second month in the new calendar, is New Year’s Eve.

Baiyun Mountain was covered with Spring Festival couplets. The main hall of Baiyun Temple was brightly lit and laughter could be heard gradually. The foot of the mountain was still deserted as the officers and soldiers guarding the mountain had already withdrawn.

As the lights came on, fireworks bloomed in the night sky, and the entire Baiyun Mountain was completely illuminated at night.

Baiyun Mountain is still quite reserved, but Qingcheng Mountain, thousands of miles away, has been suppressed for too long. There are lights and decorations everywhere. The eaves of the major halls are full of red lanterns, the ground is full of fiery red firecracker debris, and under the ice are gold lacquer runes that have not yet been washed off.

Apart from these two hilltops, the entire Shuchuan area is mostly uninhabited, with doors and gates locked.
Most of the people in Sichuan have been resettled by the government in Qinghai, Shaanxi and other places as part of the Sichuan North-South Migration Project. This year's Spring Festival Gala also has a special venue for them.

The pain brought to China by the "December 25" earthquake in Sichuan was gradually healed in laughter and joy. However, in the high-rise buildings of Qingcheng Mountain and in some courtyards in Beijing, some people just couldn't live in peace.
In a courtyard in the center of the capital, several old men were talking: "It has not been a year since the spiritual energy was revived, and the cultivation path is only one level higher than the innate level. Does it really have such ability?"

Xie Yu on the other side of the video stood obediently in the picture: "Yes, I asked Taoist Master Qi Qiansu of Qingcheng Mountain. His cultivation is close to the Wu Leakage Spirit Pill in the Innate Inner Dan, but compared with Li Yang, he is just like an ant."

Several old men were silent. Mr. Xie pondered for a moment:

"Find him and talk to him."

"His request can be met as much as possible. I will explain the matter of Nanshan to him."

Xie Yu smiled bitterly: "Since Li Yang wiped out the blood demon, he has not appeared again. It seems that he has disappeared again. No one has seen him since."

“Our special commissioner has been waiting in Baiyun Mountain, only to see another innate Chi Yanhong from Baiyun Mountain come back.”

An old man on the other end of the video said: "We must find him, at all costs."

"Yes!"

On Baiyun Mountain.

The gala was being broadcast on TV, and Wang Xin even saw Aunt Li.

Zhao Ziyao, Gong Qi, Wang Xin, a fat squirrel and the golden toad were talking and laughing in a row. Chi Yanhong smiled and drank the tea in the cup.

Zhao Ziyao and Gong Qi have already called their parents. They have been placed in Qinghai. They are not mentally prepared to face their parents yet, so they decided to spend the Spring Festival in Baiyun Mountain.
Their bodies had long since dried up and dried up. When Li Yang buried their bodies in front of them, the two of them had a strange feeling of sadness and shock in their hearts.

The material of the Venerable's puppet was very high-quality and had no gender. The two begged Li Yang to mold the puppet into their original appearance.
From a distance, the two people now look no different from ordinary people, except that their movements are a little stiff. But once you get closer, you will find that their skin is as white as porcelain dolls, without any pores.

After playing with Wang Xin, the three of them turned their eyes to Chi Yanhong, who was sitting in the main seat.

"Master, isn't Master Li coming back yet? Today is the Spring Festival."

After Chi Yanhong returned to Baiyun Mountain, he taught Wang Xin the Yangyang Breathing Method and the Induction Fetal Breathing Method on the Jade Leaf Golden Tablet as promised. Although he did not formally accept him as a disciple, Wang Xin had already shamelessly regarded himself as his disciple.

Zhao Ziyao and Gong Qi also looked at Chi Yanhong with anxious expressions. They had suddenly turned from normal people into puppets, and their psychological journey was not as calm as their appearance.

"Friend Li Dao said that he still has some things to deal with, so he may not be able to stay up with us."

"Ah~" Several people were a little disappointed, especially Wang Xin. He had heard about that sword.
The sword that gave the Qingcheng Mountain's fiery clouds a middle part.

The officers and soldiers of Mount Qingcheng could not see the moon in the clear light. Since ancient times, there have been many legends about sword immortals in Mount Shu. How could this not make people wonder? So the legend of the White Cloud Sword Immortal was spread privately.

"Then Master, what about Yang Feng and the official people waiting at the foot of the mountain?"

"If they want to wait, then let them wait as long as they want. We just need to protect the mountain well."

Zhao Ziyao and Gong Qi were still somewhat dreamy. One of them was a college graduate, and the other was a graduate student. They were still somewhat afraid of such official words.
Chi Yanhong looked at the people who were busy looking up Taoist customs for New Year's Eve, and gradually smiled.

The battle to slay the Blood Demon at Mount Qingcheng had a huge impact. Related videos and various materials about Li Yang kept appearing among various high-level officials in China.

However, the protagonist of this battle, Li Yang, mysteriously disappeared from the official sight. Only Chi Yanhong knew that Li Yang was on the South Mountain at this time.
He is looking for half of the Venerable's soul.

After getting rid of the blood demon's soul and several fake blood pools, Li Yang flew towards Nanshan on his sword without stopping.

There were soldiers stationed at the foot of Nanshan Mountain. Li Yang did not disturb them and flew straight to the shrine.

Landing on the shrine, Li Yang felt a bit complicated about this place that had trapped him for two months.
The only purpose of his coming this time was to find half of the Venerable's soul, and through this, to know the Venerable's whereabouts.

Although the Venerable's cultivation is not high, he is insidious and knowledgeable. He is the only person who has put him in danger since he started practicing Taoism.

Li Yang was determined to get rid of this rat lurking in the sewers once and for all.

Now, with his spiritual power of cultivating into a Yin God and with the help of the Bayeux Zen Sutra, he quickly communicated with that space. Following the pull of the passage, Li Yang's Yin God jumped in.

Compared to when he left, the various wish-power points in the space were much dimmer.

"Your Majesty, your soul must not have escaped from this space yet. No matter where you hide, we can always find you."

Revenge is needed when revenge is needed, and grievances are needed when grievances are needed. Li Yang was very angry after suffering such a great loss this time.

Li Yang opened his mouth and took a breath, and the light spots of wish power in the sky were swallowed into his body. Sometimes he felt that he had turned into the Five Evil Gods, sitting on the top of the temple, and sometimes he turned into an ancient willow tree that reached the sky, casting a thick shade to protect the children under the tree.

This absorption lasted for three days. During these three days, the volume of the entire space continued to shrink, and the chaotic place began to slowly dissipate. As the willpower was gradually absorbed by Li Yang's Yin God, this space was on the verge of collapse.

If Li Yang wishes, his Yin God can now spread out for hundreds of meters, just like another magical power of Taoism, the Dharma Image of Heaven and Earth. Moreover, Li Yang has the Bayeux Zen Sutra, which can calmly accept the two kinds of wishes of good and evil. When the hundreds of meters long Yin God body shrinks to the size of a person, the power contained in it is not something ordinary people can imagine.

Just when the entire space was about to collapse, a dark light that had escaped into the deepest part of the space could no longer hide, and it tried to escape through the crack in the space.

"I found you!"

Li Yang was overjoyed. He stretched out his hand and grasped the dust-like light in his palm.

The aura of this light spot is undoubtedly that of the Venerable.
Half of the Venerable's soul was in a daze, and he obviously hadn't woken up yet. He was just relying on instinct to resist Li Yang's murderous intent.
"Now that you are in my hands, you still want to resist!"

The soul was rejecting the entry of Li Yang's consciousness. Li Yang exerted force with his hand, and the entire soul was immediately torn apart.
When the divine consciousness entered the divine soul, a series of images immediately came to mind. Li Yang saw the Venerable step by step laying out the Blood Demon and deceiving Chen Hao, the inheritor of the Five-way God, as well as using many spiritual objects to practice his skills.

There were more and more scenes, and even Li Yang, with his concentration, could not help but be a little surprised. The Venerable had arranged many puppet clones in China. These clones were no different from ordinary people, mingling with all kinds of people, and there were even powerful people in high positions.
There is a trace of the Venerable's spiritual power in those puppets.
Then there is this shrine. There is indeed a set of formations on the terrain of Nanshan Mountain. The imbalance between the good and evil of the Five Gods and the ancient willow's will has been noticed by people at that time for thousands of years.
There was a master who wanted to destroy the Wutong Temple, but was stopped by the salt merchants at that time.
So the Buddhist sect at that time took out the palm leaf Zen sutra. The golden leaf that carried the sutra was also a magic tool that could gather good wishes in order to help good and suppress evil. The Taoist sect had wandering Taoists set up this formation.
This array is called the Locking Mountain Array, and the center of the array is this shrine. Once the balance of good and evil inside the shrine reaches a certain value, the array will be activated to prevent anyone from entering the mountain.

The reason why Nanshan activates the formation at the beginning and middle of each month is because the moonlight is at its brightest during these two time points, the yin energy is the strongest, and the evil wishes of the Five-Power God are also the strongest.

The Venerable couldn't break this formation either, so he could only bury the puppet under the shrine in advance.

The more he looked, the more frightened he became. Li Yang realized that the Venerable's background might be beyond his imagination.

Perhaps it was only half of the soul, so many of the images were intermittent, but through this half of the soul of the Venerable, Li Yang actually saw some clothes that did not exist in modern times in the pictures.
Li Yang wanted to look again, but these memories were blocked by something like a chain, preventing his spiritual sense from peeking in.

And as the wish power space collapsed, the Venerable's soul was also slowly collapsing.
In a hurry, Li Yang forcibly tore open a chain.
"Click"

The broken part of the chain emitted an infinite amount of light, and several fragments flashed.

In the deepest scene, Li Yang saw him confronting a Taoist on a steep cliff, sitting cross-legged and debating with a child serving beside him.
This venerable person is most likely an ancient person!
A thought suddenly popped into Li Yang's mind.

At this moment, the world of vows began to make crackling sounds, and the surrounding space began to peel off and collapse. The entire world was like a cosmic explosion, first shrinking inward, and then splitting and expanding.

The power of will in this world has become very thin and cannot maintain the existence of space at all.

"boom!"

The Venerable's soul also reacted to Li Yang's intrusion and turned into ashes in Li Yang's hands.

Li Yang's soul returned to his body, but his heart could not calm down for a long time.

"Ding"

A dark bead fell to the ground. Li Yang knew that this was the bead that Chen Hao had obtained from the statue of Wutong God.
There are two spells in it, one is the Five Ghosts Moving Wealth, and the other is the Yin Replenishing Yang.
Crush the beads with one hand,
Li Yang knew the origin of this place. He combined the description on the Bayeux Zen Sutra with the Ziwei Astrology on the communication system, copied the formation diagram, and then flew up on his sword and flew straight to Baiyun Mountain.

On Baiyun Mountain, the New Year atmosphere has not yet passed.
Although there were only a few people, Wang Xin and Zhao Ziyao, who loved the hustle and bustle, still made Baiyun Temple look festive.

There is a line in the iron can that says: "No sacrifices are made during the three-year and five-year festivals, and few commemorations are made during the four seasons and eight festivals." Originally, the first day of the first lunar month was the day of the Tianla Festival, and Taoist temples in various places would set up altars to celebrate and hold blessing ceremonies, but Chi Yanhong was obviously not interested in these.

As Wang Xin and the others tossed about, Chi Yanhong just burned incense and offered sacrifices to the gods every day, and cleaned the statues of gods in the temple.

Seeing Li Yang flying back on his sword and landing in the main hall, Chi Yanhong was not surprised and he inserted the incense sticks in the incense burner in a serious manner.

"How is it, have you found the whereabouts of the Venerable?"

"Not only did we find it, we found dozens of them." Thinking of the Venerable's puppet clones, Li Yang felt a little overwhelmed.

"Can you determine their location and identity?"

"can."

Li Yang said as he pulled out a ledger in the hall.

The images that one sees when entering the Venerable's soul are all as a bystander. Although some of the images are blurry, Chi Yanhong traveled far and wide when searching for the true Dharma earlier, and he was able to infer the specific location based on the information.

So Li Yangyi continued to send messages while Chi Yanhong searched for his phone to determine the location.

After writing down the various identities of the Venerable dolls, Chi Yanhong took a quick look and frowned at the identities of some of them.

"Hand it over to the authorities? Or..." Chi Yanhong looked up at Li Yang.

"Of course we do it ourselves!"

The two were discussing various matters when Wang Xin, who was outside the hall, suddenly came in and shouted:

"Master, those people at the foot of the mountain have come up the mountain... Hey, Master Li, you are back?!"

Li Yang smiled faintly. It had been more than several months since he left Baiyun Mountain.

"Let them wait in the side hall."

"Yes."

Li Yang rolled up the account book with the list into his sleeves: "They are quite sharp-eyed. They probably noticed my sword Qingguang."

"Fellow Daoist Chi, please go and entertain them and say hello to them as well."

Chi Yanhong looked at Li Yang's expression and immediately understood what he meant.

Li Yang's eyes showed murderous intent, and he flew away on his sword again.

The person waiting in the side hall was Xie Yu. After the meeting with the capital, Xie Yu went to the foot of Baiyun Mountain to wait.

Xie Yu saw Li Yang leaving again and was about to get up to check, but Chi Yanhong had already arrived at the door.

"Master Chi, what's this, Master Li?"

"Since he suffered a loss, he wanted to get back at the time. Your efficiency was too slow, so he couldn't help but do it himself."

Xie Yu paused for a moment, and immediately understood what Chi Yanhong meant:
"Master Chi, our country has its own laws. This is against the rules!"

When Chi Yanhong called out several names one after another, Xie Yu's face changed and he almost collapsed in his chair.

The thing that Beijing was most worried about finally happened.
When Li Yang goes there, there will definitely be a lot of deaths!
Although they knew that it was the incarnation of the Venerable, others did not know that killing so many people with a sword in broad daylight would cause a big mess.
Xie Yu was on pins and needles and wanted to make a phone call on the spot, but was stopped by Chi Yanhong.

"Don't do anything meaningless. With Fellow Daoist Li's speed, he will be back in just a cup of tea."

Chi Yanhong smiled and asked Wang Xin to go to the side hall to make a pot of tea.
