From a Zhengyi Taoist Child to a Master of All Laws

Chapter 436: Only at the beginning, the Tao stands in one
There is no wall that is impenetrable. As the parents of Master Chi of Baiyun Mountain, they could not keep a low profile even if they wanted to. The authorities have long known about this relationship, so as soon as the old couple got on the plane, they were inexplicably upgraded to first class. Except for the two old people, the rest of the first class were plainclothes police officers.

The two elders were well-known figures in the academic world, but they had never seen such a scene. Although no one talked to them along the way, they were still worried.

After getting off the plane, the two elders and Li Yang stared at each other from a distance. It was Chi Yanhong who broke the awkwardness first. He called "Mom and Dad" sweetly and went up to hug them.

Li Yang smiled faintly and also went up carrying the three-legged golden toad.

"Uncle and aunt, this is just a small gift, not a token of respect."

There was no other way. He originally wanted to give the squirrel away. He wanted to bribe the fat squirrel with three spirit stones and the red fruits that would mature in the next quarter to be the bodyguard of the two elders. However, the fat squirrel thought the price was too low and refused to do it. Finally, the golden toad jumped out and was willing to accept the employment.

The two old men forced a smile out of embarrassment, then Father Chi took the cage of the three-legged golden toad from Li Yang and stared at the three-legged golden toad with his face twitching.

"Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Li... Mr. Li. I'm afraid this toad is some kind of mutant creature. It would be nice to keep it as a pet."

Not knowing what to address him, Mr. Chi hesitated for a moment and finally called him Mr. Li.

Chi Yanhong smiled and replied: "Nothing, just an ordinary toad he found on the mountain, just for fun."

Li Yang also nodded: "It's really nothing. I gave this toad to give my uncle and aunt a companion. Its innate strength is a little weak, but it's enough."

Father Chi finally accepted this strange-looking toad and thought its big eyes were cute. He was about to touch it when he heard the word "innate" from Li Yang and almost threw the three-legged golden toad away.

Congenital? Weak?

The two old men looked at each other and gasped.

Chi's father and mother went to Canada for work. During the Vatican Conference, the most powerful master in that country was only Qi Ling. Only last year did an A-level master appear, that is, Xiantian. He is almost a national treasure in Canada, and even the Prime Minister has received him many times.

No matter how generous Mr. and Mrs. Chi were, it was hard to imagine that this man would give them a congenital pet when they met for the first time.

With Chi Yanhong mediating, after a brief greeting, the four of them took a taxi out of the airport like an ordinary family.

Along the way, the two old men were very restrained, not only when facing Li Yang, but also when talking to Chi Yanhong.

The two elders had given Chi Yanhong a laissez-faire education since he was a child. In addition, they mostly worked abroad, so Chi Yanhong basically lived in the school dormitory after he went to middle school, and sometimes they only saw each other a few times a year.

Chi Yanhong's parents only knew that Chi Yanhong had been admitted to a top domestic university as a graduate student and successfully obtained a doctorate. After returning from Mount Tiantai, he suddenly clamored to visit the famous mountains in Sichuan.
This journey lasted for several years. During this period, apart from the regular news that their daughter was still alive, the two elders had no news about anything else happening around Chi Yanhong.

Then the Luotian Dajiao revealed the fact of the revival of spiritual energy to the world. When the two elders heard their daughter Chi Yanhong's name again, it was already in foreign newspapers.

The person who appears with him and more frequently is the one sitting in the passenger seat.

The two elders looked at Li Yang cautiously, struggled for a moment, and finally stopped talking.

Li Yang and Chi Yanhong looked at each other and smiled in tacit understanding.

In the car, facing Mr. and Mrs. Chi, Li Yang tried his best to suppress his aura and be approachable and harmless.

In the next few days, Chi Yanhong and Li Yang tried their best to play the roles of daughter and son-in-law, intending to accompany the two elderly people to spend a relatively warm Spring Festival.

On New Year's Eve, the two old people cooked a large table of dishes in the hotel kitchen. As fireworks exploded in the sky outside the window and the sound of children in new clothes chasing and playing with firecrackers and lanterns in the streets, there was finally a warm and harmonious family atmosphere at the dinner table.

"Mr. Li, we don't know what dietary restrictions you Taoists have, so we asked some friends and tried to avoid them as much as possible. So, is the food still tasty?"

“Although I am a Taoist priest, I am different from ordinary Taoist priests. I have no taboos. I just didn’t expect that your aunt, who has lived abroad for a long time, has better cooking skills than those hotel chefs.” Li Yang said with a smile on his face as he poured a glass of diluted Baiyun Li for Chi’s father and mother.

Being able to have the wine poured personally by this contemporary True Lord, Father and Mother Chi truly felt what it meant to be flattered. After looking at each other, the uneasy stone in their hearts finally settled down.

Chi Yanhong changed out of his Taoist robe today and put on a slim-fitting white down jacket. His long hair was draped over his shoulders, and his face was cold and fair. Looking at him, he looked like a light cloud covering the moon, which made Li Yang's heart skip a beat.
Just seeing Li Yang being polite and likable in front of his parents and getting along well with them, Chi Yanhong also smiled.

After dinner, the Spring Festival Gala was broadcast live on TV. This is also a tradition that Mr. and Mrs. Chi uphold when they are abroad. Although the content of the Spring Festival Gala is getting worse year by year, it is always a thought and a feeling of celebrating the New Year.

The show on TV was "Goodbye Photo Studio". Chi Yanhong and his mother sat around the electric grill. While Li Yang and his father couldn't bear to watch, they went to the rooftop to watch the fireworks. Chi's mother looked at Chi Yanhong, hesitated for a long time, and said:
"Yanhong, the transfer order from our unit came out last week... They want to transfer your father and me to Chengdu University to be the president."

"Principal? Are you getting such a big promotion all at once?" Chi Yanhong was peeling a tangerine, a little surprised.

Chengdu University is one of the best universities in Shuchuan Province. Its president is equivalent to a full-time department-level cadre, which is equivalent to the level of a mayor of a prefecture-level city. According to Li Yang and Chi Yanhong's previous speculation, they thought that promotion to deputy director would be enough.

However, there was no sign of joy on Chi's mother's face, she just sighed quietly.

She knew that with their qualifications and academic level, they were not qualified to accept the principal's transfer order. The hidden reason was self-evident.

This is all thanks to my daughter and son-in-law.

"Yanhong, you know that your father and I are both engaged in social research. If I become a principal, I will basically have to be involved in various school affairs all the time, and I will no longer have the free time to do social research. Your father and I have traveled to various countries over the past ten years. This principal is indeed a bit..."

After hearing this, Chi Yanhong understood the concerns of the two elders, put down the tangerine in his hand, and smiled: "Mom, don't worry about this. The so-called principal's affairs are not as complicated as you think. You may not be able to go abroad in the future, but you can still travel around the country."

Chi's mother frowned slightly and said hesitantly, "Your father and I are investigating social research in various countries and regions. This has trapped us in China, and our previous research projects have to be terminated."

Chi Yanhong just raised his eyes and looked at Mother Chi steadily:

"It's not about trapping you in the country, it's about protecting you in the country."

"Protect?"

Mother Chi pondered for a moment, looked at Chi Yanhong's meaningful eyes, as if she understood something, and sighed resignedly.

Since Li Yang and Chi Yanhong presided over the Luotian Grand Ceremony and announced the revival of spiritual energy to the world, their official identities have changed from academic masters in the social research community to family members of Li Yang and Chi Yanhong. For China at present, the safety of the two is more important than their research.

Chi Yanhong sighed and continued, "The peace and prosperity of the country at this stage is only temporary. This era is a good era, but it is definitely not a very safe era. There are undercurrents and powerful enemies lurking. Even I cannot guarantee that everything will be safe."

Mother Chi was shocked: "What? You even ..."

"Times are changing, and I am no exception. If there is indeed someone who can live forever and stand aloof from the times and watch the ups and downs of the world, that person is definitely not me."

"Who is that?"

Chi Yanhong said nothing, smiled faintly, and then looked towards the roof.

Mother Chi also looked up in the direction Chi Yanhong was looking and instantly understood.

It was also at this time that Chi's mother suddenly realized clearly what her daughter and Mr. Li, who accompanied her daughter, meant to this world and this era...

"Boom boom boom!"

The clock struck midnight, the sky outside the window was filled with fireworks, and the live broadcast of the Spring Festival Gala on TV started with the host's countdown, and the new year arrived on time.

However, this New Year's Eve was different from previous years. The last picture on TV was not the host of the Spring Festival Gala, but an otherworldly old Taoist priest on Mount Qingcheng.

In the picture, he is floating above Mount Qingcheng, looking at the lights and bright fireworks of thousands of homes below the mountain, and lightly announcing the arrival of the first year of the Lingli calendar.

It has been more than a year since the Luotian Grand Ceremony ended, and changes at all levels of society are basically in line with the official plan.

Since new things have already taken root at the social level, they naturally need a new era to be named.

The official name is 'Spiritual Calendar' and next year will be the first year of the Spiritual Calendar.

This year, the government also issued a regulation strictly prohibiting fireworks and firecrackers on New Year's Eve. However, I don't know whether it was to welcome the arrival of the first year of the Lingli calendar, but the implementation of this regulation by the provinces and cities at all levels was somewhat vague.

Li Yang and Chi's father stood on the rooftop and looked up. The starry sky tonight was like a waterfall. The huge starry sky covered the entire earth, gently and silently. Since the reform and opening up and industrialization, such a clear starry sky has rarely been seen.

Having lived abroad for a long time, seeing such warm and brilliant fireworks reflected in his eyes, Father Chi murmured:

"In the first year of the king's reign, the first month is the first month of the year. What is the first year? It is the beginning of the king's reign. What is spring? It is the beginning of the year."

"Dongfeng puts flowers and trees at night, and blows down, and the stars are like rain. BMW carved cars are fragrant all over the road. The phoenix flute sounds, the jade pot turns light, and the fish and dragon dance overnight."

The fireworks rumbled and also illuminated Li Yang's calm face.

"One, the beginning, the Tao stands in One, creating the heaven and earth, and transforming into all things."

"The first year of the spiritual calendar, a brand new year."

He stretched out his hand and pointed, and a huge sword light spanned the sky and the earth, sweeping away all the dark clouds in the sky. The whole world was bright and warm, and the bright moonlight shone on the rivers and mountains. Countless people walked out of their doors, cheering and shouting.

This Spring Festival is of great significance to China. A new era has been completely opened amid the sound of fireworks and firecrackers.

On the first day of the first lunar month, Chi Yanhong and his mother were indeed descendants of the Sichuan Army. After the Chinese New Year, they bravely asked Li Yang for his opinion and took Chi Yanhong and Li Yang to visit many descendants of their grandfather's comrades-in-arms.

On the sixth day of the first lunar month, Li Yang and Chi Yanhong bid farewell to their two elders and returned to Baiyun Mountain.

Li Yang was in seclusion in the Yuchan Hall in the back mountain to comprehend the Tai Chi fish jade pendant, while Chi Yanhong began to arrange the opening of the next semester at Baiyun Taoist Academy.

After the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the four little ones returned to the mountain one after another, and the Qianshan Baiyun Taoist Temple officially resumed its teaching order.

On the 18th day of the first lunar month, students of Baiyun Taoist Academy returned to school one after another, marking another wave of students seeking to study.

After hosting the opening ceremony, Chi Yanhong was about to go back to the back mountain to rest when a text message from Qingcheng Taoist Temple suddenly stirred up waves in her heart.
[The Qingcheng Taoist Temple has a disciple named Tan Wenbin, who is from Yihuang, Jiangxi Province. After investigation, he is confirmed to be the direct descendant of the Shenxiao Sect. He said that there might be the Shenxiao Sect's ancient treasure, Xuanlei, hidden in the area of ​​the Shenxiao Sect's ancestral temple, Junfeng Mountain, so he specially invited Li Zhenjun and Chi Zhenren to come and search for the treasure.

Signed: Qi Qianshu]

"Shenxiao Sect, is there still a descendant of this sect alive?"

Chi Yanhong was shocked and found it hard to believe for a moment.

At present, there are only two orthodox thunder magic inheritances in the world, one is Wu Peng's Beidi Tianpeng School, and the other is Li Yang's Qi-eating Five Thunder Technique.

The Beidi Tianpeng sect is known to be the best in inner alchemy and thunder techniques today, but in ancient times, the Shenxiao sect has always been the most respected in terms of thunder techniques.

The Shenxiao School was founded by Wang Wenqing, a Taoist priest in the Northern Song Dynasty. It reveres the Southern Emperor of Longevity as the highest god. It mainly practices the Five Thunder Method, which is said to be able to control ghosts and gods, cause thunderstorms, and eliminate harm and avoid disasters.

The founder, Wang Wenqing, whose courtesy name was Shudao, was a native of Nanfeng, Jianchang in the Song Dynasty. When crossing the Yangtze River, he met the fire master Wang Zhenjun, who taught him the method of flying chapters to visit the emperor and the book of howling at the wind and thunder. He also obtained the text of howling at the wind and rain in the Qingzhen Cave in Jinling, where the Tang Dynasty Taoist master Ye Fashan practiced Taoism. He took Junfeng Mountain in Fuzhou, Jiangxi as his ancestral temple.

This is what is called: The realm of the divine sky, the blue sky is the disciple. I don’t know that the blue sky is the place where the earth resides… the door to all changes. The clouds accumulate to form the sky, which is supported by the strong energy. Walking on it is like cotton, and it can support a thousand pounds. The jade platform has thousands of calamities, and the grand building has eight layers. The Brahma energy rides on it, although it is high, it is not towering.

It can be seen that Shenxiao refers to the highest fairyland where Taoist gods live. The Shenxiao Taoists named their sect after it, probably for its lofty and noble meaning.

This sect has two recognized ancestors. In addition to Wang Wenqing, there is also Lin Lingsu. A disciple taught by Lin, named Sa Shoujian, is one of the four heavenly masters of Taoism and can be compared with Zhang Daoling.

Chi Yanhong frowned secretly: "Is it the inheritance of Junfeng Mountain of Shenxiao Sect? I'm afraid Qi Qiansu alone is not sure that he can take out the ancient treasure of Junfeng Mountain, so he invited me and Li Yang to go and get the treasure."
