From a Zhengyi Taoist Child to a Master of All Laws

Chapter 481: Holding Qingshuang, Carrying the Sword and Heading South

#On October 3rd, holding Qingshuang in hand and carrying a sword, head south! #
For a long time afterwards, these eight words topped the hot search lists of major Chinese media.

This had never happened before, and no one had ever thought of it.
How long has it been since China's spiritual energy was revived? In the tenth year of the spiritual calendar, among China's more than one billion people, only a hundred people have innate masters. They are the group of people in the clouds, like a dragon that can't be seen from head to tail, and they are the country's strategic military force.

Compared to most ordinary people, spiritual awakening is the ceiling they may encounter in their daily lives, and it is a ceiling that most people cannot reach.

According to a nationwide census of cultivators in the ninth year of the Lingli calendar, there are nearly 6,000 masters of spiritual awakening in the country, which is approximately one in every 300,000 people. They are the top of the pyramid of the entire Chinese society, and most of them work in the Taoist Alliance and the Special Bureau.

Apart from Baiyun Mountain, no other Taoist temple could muster three hundred Qi Ling disciples, and no other Taoist temple would spend so much manpower and resources to go down the mountain to eliminate monsters.

For the Chinese people in the southeast who have been suffering from the plague of monsters, this is undoubtedly a great blessing. Although some people doubt that these three hundred awakened spirits cannot change the situation at all, at this point in time, it is undoubtedly a shot in the arm for the entire Chinese nation!

Some Taoist temples have set an example and are the first in the world, proving that what the Chinese government has always advocated, "being upright on behalf of heaven and being kind to save the country and the people", and "supporting the country and the destiny" are not empty words.

The nine routes cover almost all the large-scale monster disaster areas in the southeast of China. There is a lot of miasma and marsh gas in the south, so most of the 300 disciples are found in the deep mountains and old forests.

Many private media and internet celebrities want to take photos of Baiyun disciples. Although not many people can actually take photos of Baiyun disciples, every video and tweet with the term "Baiyun Qingshuangke" will instantly gain huge traffic and attention.

Because all the disciples who came down the mountain held Qingshuang swords, the three hundred disciples were called "Baiyun Qingshuangke" by the Chinese media.

The one who clears the frost clears the frost from the world!
Under every relevant report on the Internet, there are a lot of comments. Although the words are different, the meanings are roughly the same:

"I seem to see the group of Taoist priests who came down from the mountain during the chaotic times a hundred years ago!"

"Times are changing. What the Taoist priests wanted to do but were unable to do a hundred years ago, modern Taoist priests can finally do..."

"Holding Qingshuang, carrying a sword and heading south!"

October 7th, Qingcheng Mountain, Sichuan.

In the late autumn twilight, golden cloud vortices swirled and rose from between the seventy-two peaks, and purple lightning flashed through the gaps in the clouds like a dragon, splitting the surging sea of ​​clouds into countless expanses of colored glaze fragments.

There were several strange visions of auspicious clouds and golden light in the sky, cranes flying in the clouds, and residents of the towns and villages at the foot of the mountain heard the clanging of swords echoing in the mountains.

That evening, another hot search term topped the list, with over 100 million views in an instant.

#Welcome Qi Kuishou out of the prison! #
Since then, China's three top masters have all come out!

On the same day, Li Yang, Chi Yanhong and Yubao Wu Peng, who had already achieved the Tao, went to Qingcheng to congratulate.

October 10th, Longhu Mountain, Jiangxi.

"boom!"

It was early in the morning and the disciples in the Sihan Tianshi Mansion felt the mountain shaking violently. Thinking it was an earthquake, they ran out of the room in panic.

Before they could react, there was a roar of rock cracking suddenly coming from the belly of the Longhu Mountain, and then thousands of auspicious clouds rose from the cracks in the mountain peaks.

In a moment, Longhu Mountain was filled with mist, and one could not see one's hand in front of one's face.

Zhang Miaocheng, who was returning to Longhu Mountain from Suzhou Taoist Temple, saw the scene before him. Before he could make any move, he suddenly saw the shadow of an old Taoist with green eyes and a prominent forehead appear above the Wanfa Sect Altar.
The old Taoist was wearing a blue Taoist robe, riding a black tiger, with a precious seal hanging on his head, and had strange facial features. He rose in the wind in the misty clouds and was already hundreds of meters high in a moment.

Zhang Miaocheng has already achieved innate cultivation, his qi and blood are flowing smoothly, and the lump on his back has disappeared. He has been the leader of Longhu Mountain for ten years now, and is extremely dignified and majestic in the hearts of his disciples.

Just looking up at the shadow of the old Taoist, Zhang Miaocheng's pupils suddenly shrank, no longer as calm and serious as usual.
"This is... Yangshen?"

"When did anyone in Longhu Mountain develop such magical powers?"

Zhang Miaocheng was horrified. Just as he was about to rush to the Wanfa Sect Altar to see what was going on, the shadowy figure of an old Taoist priest who was over a hundred meters tall and riding a black tiger spoke softly. A voice resounded through the mountains like a huge bell:
"The Dragon and Tiger Cave Heaven will be reopened today. All the Zhang family members will temporarily return to the human world! Wait until the stone Qilin at the mountain gate turns its head to the west, and then return to the mountain!"

boom!
As soon as the voice fell, a strong wind suddenly blew up on the mountain, making the leaves in the forest rustle.

The sandstorm swept in, and it seemed as if Zhang Miaocheng had already achieved enlightenment, but he still felt so blinded by the sandstorm that he couldn't open his eyes.

Then, Zhang Miaocheng felt dizzy and as if a hurricane blew him up. When he opened his eyes again, he had moved from the mountain to the foot of the mountain.

When I looked up, I could no longer see the appearance of Longhu Mountain at this time. There were rolling clouds and mist everywhere, and large patches of auspicious clouds were bubbling out from the cracks in the mountain.

Turning around again, at the foot of the mountain were hundreds of Longhu Mountain disciples who were also confused. They looked at each other, and finally focused their eyes on Zhang Miaocheng.

"What's going on? Wasn't I just meditating in the room? How did I suddenly get to the foot of the mountain?"

"Could it be that an external enemy invaded and wanted to occupy my blessed land of Longhu Mountain?"

One disciple wanted to go into the mountain to find out what was going on, but after plunging into the clouds and mist, he immediately lost his five senses and finally came out from another place in a daze.

After trying several times, Zhang Miaocheng finally calmed down. Thinking of the Yang Shen shadow he had just seen, his face turned grim:
"We can't handle this matter. Ziheng, go and notify Qingcheng Mountain and ask a few real people to investigate the situation!!"

"Yes!"

At noon, a crystal blue sword light first landed at the foot of Longhu Mountain, followed by a red sword light.

After Li Yang and Chi Yanhong showed up, Wu Peng, who controlled the lightning, arrived third, followed by Qi Qiansu and Yu Bao, who also arrived on flying swords.

At this time, tens of thousands of residents who came to watch the excitement had gathered at the foot of Longhu Mountain. The Special Bureau and local police were maintaining the scene, and it was noisy and chaotic.

Li Yang stood at the foot of the mountain without moving. The other four people first set up sword lights and explored around Longhu Mountain. After the exploration, everyone frowned.

Li Yang looked at Zhang Miaocheng and a group of Longhu Mountain disciples who were frowning at the foot of the mountain and smiled strangely.

He didn't expect that Lao Zhang was so cautious and had not yet revealed his identity to the disciples on the mountain.

From Zhang Miaocheng's perspective, isn't it just that his hometown was robbed early in the morning and the cuckoo took over the magpie's nest?
Li Yang pondered for a moment, and spoke to comfort the uneasy Zhang family disciples:

"Don't worry, it's not the appearance of a rare treasure or the invasion of foreign enemies. It's just that an old senior came back and wanted to take some things he left behind in the mountains..."

Hearing the meaning of Li Yang's words, Zhang Miaocheng at the foot of the mountain changed his expression and asked hurriedly: "Old senior? I wonder which old senior you are talking about?"

"He rides on a black tiger, holds a jade sceptre in his hand, and has a precious seal on his head. In addition, yellow clouds cover the mountains, purple air fills the courtyard, he has a red crown and green eyes, a prominent nose and a square chin..."

Li Yang smiled faintly, looked at the peak of Longhu Mountain with auspicious clouds rolling in the distance, and said: "Don't you have the answer in your heart?"

The young disciples were still confused, but Zhang Miaocheng and Zhang Fazhen, the former leader of the Baodao Tianshi Dao, changed their expressions instantly. Zhang Miaocheng trembled and could hardly stand. After being supported by the disciples next to him, he spoke with difficulty: "Could it be, it was Zutian..."

"Shh!" Li Yang interrupted Zhang Miaocheng softly.

Zhang Miaocheng swallowed his saliva, looked around at the residents and police gathered at the foot of the mountain, and said nothing more, but his eyes were still full of disbelief.
Zhang Fazhen came over and asked softly beside Zhang Miaocheng: "Could it be true?"

Zhang Miaocheng nodded with difficulty, recalling the stunning glimpse he had just taken on the mountain. Wasn’t it exactly as described in the Zhang family’s classics?
At this time, Chi Yanhong, Qi Qiansu and the other three also gathered around. Seeing Li Yang's expression, they immediately had an idea in their minds.

Yubao frowned slightly and took a step forward: "Li Zhenjun, could it be that you know the cause and effect of the change in Longhu Mountain this time?"

Li Yang nodded, and said with emotion: "I originally planned to tell you after a while when I have thoroughly investigated the truth. Now it seems that the injury of this old senior is more serious than I thought..."

"Injury? Zutian... No, that person is also injured?"

Zhang Miaocheng and Zhang Fazhen widened their eyes. How could that person be injured? If it was really him, who could possibly hurt him?

Li Yang shook his head: "The causes and consequences are extremely complicated. It is inconvenient to explain them in detail here. Let's go back to Qingcheng Mountain and talk about it."

"Can!"

Qi Qiansu, who was thinking about the situation at the side, vaguely guessed the background of the so-called old senior mentioned by Li Yang. If his guess came true and was known by outsiders, there would be a big mess!
Just as the five Taoists were about to leave, ripples suddenly appeared in the mist at the foot of Mount Longhu. Then, a sneaky little Taoist child poked his head out from the clouds, looked around timidly, and was overjoyed when he saw Li Yang.
Li Yang caught a glimpse of the little boy and waved with a smile: "Xinjie, why did you come out?"

"Master Li!" The little boy's eyes lit up. After running out of the clouds and mist, he solemnly handed a brocade box to Li Yang.

"My grandfather asked me to give this to you. He said that he found words carved on the cliff when he was visiting Tianmen Peak a few days ago. The message said it was for you, Taoist Li!"

Tianmen Peak?
Li Yang's face changed. He took the wooden box and opened it. It turned out to be a piece of cloth. On the cloth was a scripture stained with pine ink. The beginning of the chapter was eight ancient seal characters.

'Although the North Sea is far away, it can be reached by the rising sun'

At the end of the scripture, there are also several seal characters.

"Ding Qing carved it on Tianmen Peak in the month of Xinmao in the year of Bingwu."

Li Yang stroked the cloth, with a rare look of heavy sadness on his face.

"Daoist friend Zhang Miaofa, you have indeed ascended to the Immortal Realm!"

Ding Qing is Zhang Miaofa's Dharma name. Twelve years ago, Zhang Miaofa created the 'Fuyao Technique' with extraordinary talent, and single-handedly promoted the unification of the Tianshi Dao in the inland of the treasure island. In the end, his Taoist foundation and soul collapsed, and he lived in seclusion on the Tianmen Peak of Longhu Mountain.

When Zhang Miaofa lived in seclusion at Tianmen Peak, the first year of the Lingli calendar had not yet begun, so the final time was still calculated according to the lunar calendar.

The content on the rubbing is exactly the scripture of "Fuyaoshu".

"Brother Miaofa, have you gone yet?"

Zhang Miaocheng had a sad face. After hearing Li Yang's words, he couldn't help but burst into tears and collapsed to the ground.

During these ten years, he did not dare to go to Tianmen Peak to take a look, thinking that as long as he did not go to confirm it, Senior Brother Miaofa would still be alive, and maybe he had figured out a way to solve the sequelae of the "Fuyao Technique".

"Is there anything else that Senior Zhang wants you to convey?"

Li Yang suppressed his grief and gently stroked Xiao Xinjie's head.

"Oh, and this one!"

After saying that, Xiao Xinjie searched his body again and then handed Li Yang a jade slip.

"That's all. Goodbye, Brother Li!"

After all, Lu Xinjie was only five or six years old and a little shy. After seeing Li Yang accept the jade slip and brocade box, he stumbled back into the clouds.

After taking a quick look at the contents of the jade slip, Li Yang's face straightened, and then he made Tai Chi gestures and bowed in the direction of Longhu Mountain.
"Li Yang from Baiyun Mountain thanks Senior Zhang!"

After he finished speaking, Li Yang did not stop and flew westward on his swords with Zhang Miaocheng, Zhang Fazhen, Chi Yanhong and Qi Qiansu.

The Special Bureau didn't know what these real people were up to, so they worked with the rest of the Longhu Mountain disciples to maintain order and put up a fence around Longhu Mountain.

On Mount Qingcheng, Li Yang and four Taoists, together with Zhang Miaocheng and Zhang Miaozhen, returned to the mountain and went to spy on Laojun Pavilion.

This secret talk was extremely serious and mysterious, and the area several miles around Laojun Pavilion was a restricted area.

Three days later, a helicopter landed in Laojun Pavilion Square. Several old men in Zhongshan suits and serious faces got off the helicopter and were welcomed into Laojun Pavilion by Zhang Miaocheng and Zhang Fazhen.

In the following period, China's historical academic circles suddenly swept up in a trend of Qin, Han, Shang and Zhou dynasties. Led by the national level, many research projects on the history of Qin, Han, Shang and Zhou dynasties were launched, and many great figures in the academic community were invited.

This was actually a very ordinary thing. In addition, the topic #三百清霜下白云# was very popular recently and dominated the hot searches, so it did not cause any waves in public opinion in China.

On October 21st, a helicopter carrying several elderly men in Zhongshan suits with pale faces hurried away. Yubao and Wu Peng also flew away on swords with gloomy faces.

A week later, on October 28th, the leader of the Taoist Alliance, Qi Qiansu, made his first public appearance since coming out of seclusion. He announced at Qingcheng Mountain that the Taoist Alliance would cooperate with Baiyun Taoist Academy, passed down the Nine Hundred Mysterious Ice Mirrors, and called on the Taoist Alliance's awakened disciples to go to the southeast to eliminate demons.

Li Yang also promised that all disciples who participated in this demon-eliminating and spirit-awakening event, whether they were from Baiyun or Daomeng, would enjoy the blessing as long as they made contributions in eliminating demons.

Qi Qiansu took out the magic weapons and elixirs from the Taoist Alliance's treasury as rewards. The Special Bureau and the Psychic Combat Force also announced that they would reward the spiritual masters who had eliminated the monsters in the southeast.

All of China's 36 Taoist temples responded at once, and Southeastern Demon Extermination became China's top priority overnight...
-
Shuchuan, Baiyun Mountain.

In the Yuchan Hall in the back mountain, Li Yang and Chi Yanhong sat facing each other, holding in their hands the latest research results of the Taoist Alliance and the Chinese historical academic community.

Li Yang put down the data, his face solemn: "Sure enough, the "Ji Sword" only appeared in Chinese history after the Qin and Han Dynasties, which shows that the appearance of the Ji Sword is related to the revival of spiritual energy in the Qin and Han Dynasties!"

Chi Yanhong also looked solemn: "Not only that, why didn't any records of the invasion of the Extreme Realm remain during the Qin and Han dynasties? I doubt whether they left any backup plans behind!"

Chi Yanhong sighed and looked at Li Yang with a complicated expression: "Now I know why you have been hiding it from me before..."
