Others follow advice and imitate celebrities, but you start by pretending to be a god?

Thinking of this, Lin Nan walked out of the Jiuji Palace and summoned many Chechi Taoists.

Meanwhile, at Lion Camel Ridge, although the monsters had long disappeared, the atmosphere among Tang Sanzang and his disciples seemed a little depressing.

The reason was that Tang Sanzang began to doubt whether he could really achieve the desired result on his journey to the West to obtain Buddhist scriptures.

When he started to hesitate, Zhu Bajie was the first to get angry. "Oh, Master, we are almost at the Lingshan Mountain after all the hard work, how can you have such thoughts?"

In the past, Zhu Bajie was always the first to want to break up when something happened. But now it was different. They had already walked most of the way to the West, and it would be a pity to give up now.

Therefore, seeing Tang Sanzang had such an idea, Zhu Bajie immediately began to persuade him earnestly: "After all, we have reached Lingshan and seen the Buddha. It is not too late to ask for some benefits and then go back!"

In the past, Zhu Bajie was always tired of his disciples walking around, and he often complained, and he was obsessed with returning to his own Gao Village.

But now, the situation is completely reversed. It is Tang Sanzang himself who has wavered in his belief in moving forward, while it is Zhu Bajie who is unwilling to give up halfway.

Moreover, they were not only halfway through their journey, but had already reached most of the way. In Zhu Bajie's mind, even if he was not trying to obtain the true scriptures, he simply did not want to walk for so many years and finally return with nothing.

After being persuaded by several disciples, although Tang Sanzang was not so determined, he had to continue on the journey with them.

It's just that Tang Sanzang, who continued on his journey, was always a little "listless" and couldn't muster up any energy.

What he saw and heard along the way gradually weakened Tang Sanzang's original determination to obtain the scriptures.

In Chechi Country, he witnessed the collapse of Guanyin Bodhisattva's reputation. As early as that time, Tang Sanzang had a knot in his heart, but he buried it in his heart and never mentioned it.

Later, everything he saw and heard along the way was influenced by Che Chiguo, and the knot in his heart grew bigger and bigger.

Until Lion Camel Ridge... Tang Sanzang saw with his own eyes that Tathagata Buddha lost the debate with Lin Nan and finally retreated quietly. This scene completely broke Tang Sanzang's heart knot, and his confidence in the Buddhist sect he belonged to was shaken, and he had deep doubts about the belief in Buddhism in his heart.

Even after setting out again, Tang Sanzang was still listless and had no motivation at all.

Under such circumstances, in the country of monks ahead of them, Tathagata had already made arrangements to revive Tang Sanzang's desire to seek Buddha.

At this time, Lin Nan slowly walked out of the Jiuji Hall. After the previous notice, all the Taoists with some cultivation in Chechi Country came one after another, wanting to listen to Lin Nan's preaching.

Whether it was the three great immortals such as Huli Daxian, or the former Tang Dynasty Taoists such as Yin Xi and Zhang Lie, they all quietly waited to listen. Little White Dragon Ao Yu jumped out of the deep pool, prostrated himself under the Taoist temple, and listened attentively. The six-eared macaque sat cross-legged at the first position, looking at the master with admiration, ready to listen.

Seeing that most people had arrived, Lin Nan started to talk directly. He had learned many secrets from the Shangqing Holy Land. Nowadays, the various types of Taoist inheritance are roughly divided into three branches, namely the Shangqing School, the Taiqing School, and the Yuqing School, which just correspond to the Three Pure Ones. Among them, the Shangqing School inherits more methods of killing and attacking enemies, and is good at the art of talismans, forging and refining weapons, etc.

Lin Nan was fortunate enough to receive personal instruction from Lingbao Tianzun. Now his attainments in these areas have reached a new height, so he is naturally qualified to preach and teach.

In the process of preaching, Lin Nan was actually sorting out what he had learned, which was not without benefit to him. Unconsciously, many days passed, and Lin Nan's preaching slowly stopped.

At this time, many Taoists were still immersed in the mystery of Taoism and had not yet reacted when Lin Nan had quietly left.

Lin Nan walked out of the depths of Jiuji Mountain with steady steps. He stood tall and straight, with a calm expression, and every step seemed to contain a certain rhythm between heaven and earth. After walking out of Jiuji Mountain, he flashed and arrived above a quiet village outside the imperial city.

This village is called Lvjia Village. It is not big, but it exudes a rustic atmosphere. The well-arranged houses, the curling smoke from cooking, and the villagers working in the fields form a peaceful and idyllic picture.

Lin Nan was suspended in the air, his eyes were like torches, scanning everything below. Finally, his eyes focused on a boy who was playing in the village. The boy had delicate features, and his eyes were full of agility and intelligence. He was having a lot of fun with his friends.

"Huayang in the past, Lu Yan today, Chunyang in the future." Lin Nan whispered to himself, with a slight smile on his face. The boy he was talking about was Lu Yan, the reincarnation of the former Huayang Zhenren.

Previously, in order to test Lv Yan's character and qualifications, Lin Nan specially sent out the six-eared macaque. The six-eared macaque had great magical powers and a careful mind. He used a full ten different methods to test Lv Yan. These ten tests included tests of determination when facing temptation, tests of adaptability when encountering difficulties, and tests of courage when facing danger... However, Lv Yan successfully overcame the difficulties again and again with his tenacious will and clever mind.

When Liu Er Mihou came to report to Lin Nan, he also frankly admitted that Lv Yan was qualified to be his junior apprentice. After hearing this, Lin Nan pondered in his heart. Since the establishment of the Jiuji lineage, although many factions have been derived around the Jiuji lineage, the main lineage where Lin Nan is located has never found a true disciple to pass on the law. An existence like Liu Er Mihou, although he is his guardian disciple, cannot inherit the core Taoism of the Jiuji lineage due to his own characteristics. Now, the appearance of Lv Yan may change this situation.

Lin Nan had nothing to do today, so he decided to come and see his future "disciple" in person. He stood on the clouds and quietly observed Lu Yan's every move. He saw Lu Yan sometimes helping the adults in the village with chores within his ability, and sometimes chasing and playing with his friends, with an innocent smile on his face.

After observing for a while, Lin Nan was quite satisfied with Lu Yan's character. He secretly admired in his heart: "Although this child has been recognized by Liu Er, he is still neither humble nor arrogant. It is rare for him to maintain an ordinary heart."

Thinking of this, Lin Nan's mind moved and the clouds slowly descended.

At this time, Lu Yan still lived a peaceful and fulfilling life as usual. He did not tell anyone about the test he encountered from the Six-Eared Macaque, as if it was just a little secret in his heart. Even after getting the recognition from the Six-Eared Macaque, he did not make it public, and still maintained his low profile and humility.

In his peaceful life, Lu Yan always had an expectation in his heart, that is, the expectation of seeking the Tao in the future. He often looked at the starry sky in the dead of night, imagining that one day he could be like those legendary immortals, flying in the sky and hiding in the ground, free and easy.

One day, Lü Yan returned from school as usual. He was carrying his schoolbag and skipping on his way home. When he reached the entrance of the village, he suddenly saw a Taoist priest. The Taoist priest stood there quietly, wearing a plain Taoist robe and holding a whisk. He looked like an immortal with an extraordinary temperament. The strange thing was that Lü Yan could clearly see the Taoist priest, but his friends who were returning home with him seemed to ignore him and walked straight past him.

"You...didn't you see any human figures?" Lu Yan was confused and couldn't help but ask his friends.

However, the friends all shook their heads and said they saw nothing.

Lu Yan hesitated for a moment. Although he was a little scared, he was more curious. He said goodbye to his friends and asked them to leave first. He then mustered up his courage and walked towards the Taoist figure.

The Taoist priest had his back to him, so Lu Yan couldn't see his face for a while. However, looking at the Taoist priest's back, Lu Yan felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity, as if he had seen him somewhere before.

"Where have I seen this Taoist priest before?" Lu Yan thought to himself, but he couldn't remember it for a moment. The feeling was vague and elusive.

Not long after, he walked to the side of the Taoist priest, took a deep breath, and called out, "Master Taoist priest, I, Lu Yan, greet you."

After Lu Yan finished speaking, he stared at the Taoist priest, and saw the Taoist priest slowly turn around.

Now, Lu Yan saw the Taoist's front face clearly. Instantly, he felt his head buzzing, and he opened his mouth and eyes in shock, unable to utter a word.

"Great, great, great..." Lu Yan stuttered for a long time before he could finish the sentence, "Grand Master?"

Lu Yan was dumbfounded, looking at Lin Nan in front of him in disbelief. He finally understood why Lin Nan's back looked familiar to him just now. This was the figure of the great master that he had seen many times in the "projection play"!
In Chechi Country, projection plays are a very popular form of entertainment. In these wonderful projection plays, such as slaying the goldfish spirit with a sword, protecting Chechi Country, and convicting Guanyin, Lin Nan's back often appears. It can be said that almost everyone in Chechi Country knows Lin Nan, the great master. Even the fame of the King of Chechi is far less than that of Lin Nan. Lin Nan is really a household name in Chechi Country. Everyone knows him.

So Lu Yan's previous familiarity with that figure was not without reason.

Lin Nan looked at Lu Yan, who was shocked and at a loss, and smiled gently. That smile was like a spring breeze, making people feel extremely warm: "It seems that you know my identity."

Without saying anything, Lu Yan bowed deeply, knelt on both knees, and said respectfully: "Lu Yan greets the Grand Master!"

"No need to be so polite." As soon as Lin Nan finished speaking, a gentle magical power emerged and gently supported Lu Yan, making him unable to bow down.

"Six Ears came to test you before, and you passed the test and have the qualities to become an initiator." Lin Nan said leisurely, with a hint of approval in his eyes, "The so-called initiator means becoming my disciple, so today I came to meet you in person."

Lu Yan's heart could not calm down at all, and was in violent turmoil at the moment. He wanted to kneel down and kowtow, and call a few words "Master". In Chechi Country, Lin Nan's reputation is very high. Although he is not as often seen in front of people as the Great Immortal Tiger Power, the Great Immortal Deer Power, and the Great Immortal Sheep Power, his presence is definitely not low. The entire Chechi Country, the whole country, respects the Great Master, and this is not an empty talk.

Lin Nan saw that Lu Yan was restless, but he didn't care. Instead, he stepped forward and gently stroked Lu Yan's head. At this moment, the Tang poet's poem had not yet spread across this land, otherwise Lu Yan would have said in his heart, "The immortal stroked my head, and I will be immortal after I have tied my hair together."

Lu Yan felt someone caressing his head, and at the same time, a mysterious message flowed into his mind like a gurgling stream.

"This is..." After Lu Yan felt it briefly, he couldn't help but subconsciously close his eyes and use his heart to touch this piece of information.

Then, he gradually understood a scripture called "The Supreme Three Heavens Law". This scripture was profound and contained the truth between heaven and earth. In addition, there was a talisman engraved with bird and animal runes, ghost and god chapters, which was mysterious and seemed to hide endless mysteries.

To be precise, this is also a seed, a true talisman seed!
"Talismans are the spirit of heaven and earth, and scrolls are the chapters of heaven and earth. Talismans can send out the vital energy of heaven and earth, communicate with the spirit of heaven and earth, and arrest ghosts and gods in the world." Lin Nan's voice rang in Lu Yan's ears, like a loud bell, awakening the deaf. "You use this 'Tongtian Scroll' to cultivate true energy, and then stimulate your imagination day and night to strengthen it, and the magical power of the talisman will naturally arise."

Lu Yan listened quietly, his heart filled with shock and anticipation.

"Although you haven't entered the door yet, you can accumulate magic power and practice hard every day." Lin Nan continued, "And use this "Taishang Santian Zhengfa" and the talisman seeds to lay a foundation. In the future, you will get twice the result with half the effort when you really practice."

Lu Yan slowly opened his eyes and saw Lin Nan in front of him. He subconsciously wanted to call out the name "Grand Master", but stopped before he said it, because he was confused and didn't know whether he should call him Grand Master or "Master".

Lin Nan didn't care about these details. He lightly formed a Taoist seal with his hand and then gently branded it on Lu Yan's forehead.

Suddenly, a mysterious mark slowly merged into Lu Yan's body.

“I will pass on to you another small reincarnation mark. Even if you die in the future, as long as you hold the small reincarnation mark and chant my name, you will not fall into reincarnation and avoid the suffering of reincarnation.” Lin Nan said solemnly.

When Lu Yan heard this, a warm feeling surged in his heart. At this time, he heard Lin Nan say: "You hold this seal, and in the future, if you meet someone who has the same small reincarnation mark, you can help them a little."

"Your name is Lu Yan. Today I will give you the name 'Dongbin'." Lin Nan looked at Lu Yan gently, as if he was looking at an unpolished jade.

"Study hard, and when you have learned enough, we will be master and apprentice."

After hearing this, Lu Yan felt a flash before his eyes, as if he was in a dream. When he looked carefully, there was no Taoist figure in front of him, as if there had never been anyone in front of him.

However, the "Tai Shang Tian San Zheng Fa", the Tong Tian Talisman True Seed and the Small Samsara Brand in his mind really exist. They are like bright stars, flashing in Lu Yan's mind, reminding him that everything just now was not a dream. (End of this chapter)
