Embers of Sword

Chapter 268 King Kong's Rage

"sieve."

A piece of paper was blown up by the wind and flew who knows how far away.

Slowly falling.

It fell on the shoulders of the woman in Taoist robe.

Tang Fengshu frowned slightly and reached out to brush it away.

"Master, a few days ago, Xianghuo Zhai accepted several disciples to practice the art of 'drawing talismans' in front of the formation in the back mountain."

The female disciple of Yuqingzhai who was in charge of leading the way noticed this scene and explained respectfully: "Because of the limited talent for drawing talismans, the talismans I made are not satisfactory...so..."

"It always takes some time to draw a talisman."

Hearing this, Tang Fengshu said lightly, "If the painting is not good, just repaint it. It would be a waste to tear it up like this... I heard that Taoist Zhu has always had a good temper. Since he has decided to accept these disciples, why is he so angry?"

Taoism is a place for pure practice.

Those who truly enter the Seven Zhazongs and travel outside are also called "monks" or "recluses."

"Not the Candle Taoist."

The female disciple of Yuqingzhai lowered her voice very carefully and said: "It was the great immortal who passed by unintentionally..."

The incense and fire hall is sparsely populated and has the lowest status.

Among the seven fasts, the incense fast is ranked seventh...

This is actually a very ironic thing.

It is called incense, but there is no incense.

Tang Fengshu had dealt with Zhu Daoren several times. This guy had average skills, but he was smooth and good at socializing. The reason why his sect was deserted in recent years was because Zhu Daoren focused his main energy on serving the Great Master Chongkan... The Taoist sect was the largest sect in the world, and there were already numerous disciples in the sect, who could be called upon at will. However, there were only a few who could really catch the Great Master's eye. Ten years ago, there was a "Yan Xie", but after the treasure theft incident, Yan Xie was put in solitary confinement and then expelled from the Taoist sect.

Chongkan has only a handful of people who can be used.

"Ah."

Tang Fengshu lowered his eyebrows and smiled, saying: "It seems that my trip to the back mountain may not be smooth."

"..."

The female disciple from Yuqingzhai didn't dare to say anything more and just continued to lead the way.

Just walk to the back mountain.

Then an invisible feeling of oppression came over me.

It was a happy event that Master Tang returned to the Taoist sect, but almost everyone in the sect knew that the relationship between Tianxia Zhai and Great Master Chongkan was getting worse and worse. This meeting in the back mountain... would Master Tang really compromise?

After a while.

The female disciple raised her head, breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "Master Tang, it's just ahead."

The formation pattern on the mountain behind the Taoist sect emits brilliant green light.

There were pieces of broken paper everywhere.

"What happened to the group of disciples accepted by Xianghuozhai later?"

Tang Fengshu glanced down, put his hands behind his back, and asked casually.

The female disciple was stunned.

She whispered, "Since yesterday... I haven't seen him. I heard he was fired."

"If that's true, it's not bad. At least I envy them."

Tang Fengshu said expressionlessly: "In these years, how many people can enter the Dao sect and leave so easily?"

Just this one sentence frightened the female disciple so much that she dared not look up.

She quickly excused herself.

Soon, Tang Fengshu was the only one left in the back mountain.

She stepped into the formation and was greeted by a thick fog.

"Wow!"

Tang Fengshu flicked his sleeves lightly, and the mist dissipated. The mountains in the distance opened up, and the sky and the earth became one line. In the crevice of the steep rocks, a figure in a black robe could be vaguely seen sitting.

The figure sits on a golden cushion.

Hanging three feet in the air, like a god.

"Great Master, Feng Shu is here."

Tang Fengshu stood in front of a crevice in the rocks with his hands behind his back, looking up at the black-shirted figure with his back to the crowd.

The wind blew, and torn pieces of paper flowed between the mountain gaps.

Together with the breeze, it turns into a silent stream in the mountains.

"...It's really not easy to see you."

Great Master Chongkan did not look back. His true form was like a dried skeleton, looking extremely thin. The strong wind blew through his clothes, highlighting the angular and shriveled outline of his body.

But his voice echoed among the mountains.

Although it is deep and majestic, it is like the sound of a bell.

But it is mixed with a hint of sarcasm.

"All the masters of the world throughout the ages have been like this."

Tang Fengshu said calmly: "The world of Tianxiazhai belongs to everyone in the world. It is normal not to practice in the Taoist sect. When my master was in this position, he also spent most of his time traveling around."

"rational."

Chongkan's voice continued to echo, with a chilling tone: "It's just that... when your master was the master of the world, he was not as bad as you, ruining the reputation of the Taoist sect outside and ignoring the etiquette of the elders inside."

"..."

Tang Fengshu fell silent.

She raised her head and looked with some effort at the towering figure sitting in the air.

Dasui Sword Palace and Daoism are the two most transcendent sects in Dachu. These two behemoths have maintained a very subtle "competitive relationship" over the past thousand years. Throughout the ages, the most powerful and outstanding geniuses often came from these two sects, such as Xie Xuanyi and himself in the previous generation, and the head of the Sword Palace Chunyang in the generation before that, and his own master.

After the Battle of Drinking Poison came to an end, the two leaders of the Sword Palace Taoist sect both went into seclusion to practice.

The Sword Palace Chief Law Officer and Master Chongkan each shouldered this heavy responsibility that lasted for a thousand years.

Chongkan proved his strength with facts.

In recent years, the Taoist sect has firmly held its position as the world's number one sect, while the Sword Palace has shown signs of decline and stepped down from the altar.

During this period of time, in the hearts of countless Taoist disciples, the image of Great Master Chongkan was like a mountain, whose top was hard to reach... In their hearts, Chongkan should be high above.

But at this moment, Tang Fengshu felt exhausted.

It’s not that the seat of the shrine is too high.

Instead.

She couldn't understand why this great master was so different from her master in terms of philosophy, character, and methods of doing things.

"I promised Senior Sister Shu Ning that I would come to visit you after returning to the Dao Sect."

Tang Fengshu sighed softly.

She thought for a moment and finally used the honorific.

"Over the years, it has not been easy to run a Taoist sect, and practicing the Great Dao has been even harder... You have worked hard."

She bowed slightly and said indifferently: "Since Feng Shu's etiquette has arrived, I will leave now and not disturb the Great Immortal."

Say it.

Tang Fengshu was about to turn around and leave. But the next moment.

Suddenly, a thunderclap fell from the sky. Everyone in the Taoist sect knew the magic of thunder. As the master of Tianxia Zhai, Tang Fengshu was even more proficient in this art. She almost subconsciously raised her sleeves and took out her whisk to shatter the lightning. After the lightning broke, it splashed in all directions, covering the entire cliff. The crackling lightning spread and turned into a pure white cage.

"...?"

Tang Fengshu narrowed his eyes, slowly turned around, and looked at the dark figure towering above him. His eyes were filled with anger, and his voice became colder: "Great Master, what do you mean?"

"You are my elder brother's favorite disciple, and also the disciple with the best aptitude and talent in the Taoist sect."

Great Master Chongkan said coldly: "In a few years, you will take over this Taoist sect... Before that, you need to cut off worldly ties and stop having delusions. Do you know how many rumors have spread and plagued the Taoist sect these days?"

"Tang has a clear conscience."

Tang Fengshu said coldly: "If I hadn't been there for the Qingzhou Rebellion, how many people in Lichao City would have died in the 'Tide Festival'? Doesn't the Great Immortal care about the lives of these people at all?"

"This chaos was caused by Chen Jingxuan."

Chongkan spoke quietly, "He should be the one to intercept. He is the Grand Master of Chu State. If he has the ability to plan, he should also have the ability to end it."

"According to you, should I just sit there and do nothing? The lives of hundreds of thousands of people in Lichao City are nothing but grass. It doesn't matter if they die."

Tang Fengshu sneered and said, "But if King You Hai ascends to the Yang God and wants to kill the Taoist sect instead of the Saint Queen, should we do the same?"

"presumptuous!"

Chongkan said angrily: "You are confusing the public and making up excuses!"

"I know that you practice the 'Vajra Way'."

Tang Fengshu said sadly: "This avenue requires the cultivation of killing spirit, but the Dao sect is known for being a pure and holy place. In order to maintain your image in front of people, you practice meditation in front of the rocks every day, using your righteous spirit to offset the killing spirit... But after all these years, can the killing spirit really be eliminated through meditation?"

Chongkan frowned.

He didn't understand why Tang Fengshu suddenly brought up this matter.

“A dog can’t change its habit of eating shit.”

Tang Fengshu suddenly said something very vulgar.

Very vulgar.

But very aggressive.

"On the way to the back mountain, I saw broken talismans all over the ground."

Tang Fengshu chuckled and said, "If a new disciple draws the wrong talisman, just teach him again. For so many years, you have let Yan Xie and Zhu Daoren do whatever they want. Isn't that enough... You are a great immortal, but you are angry with even a new disciple because of some trivial matters? This is what it means to be a dog that eats shit. The way of the Vajra is not to restrain oneself, but to seek outside."

Hit the nail on the head.

But before Chongkan could get angry again.

Tang Fengshu spoke again, still in a calm tone: "Human nature is like this. There are millions of people in the world, so there are millions of appearances. You called me here today, just to confirm the truth of those 'rumors' from my mouth... In fact, there is nothing to hide. I really like Chen Jingxuan. If there is a chance, we can become Taoist partners and watch the world together. You can also say that I'm a dog that can't change its eating habits. This matter has been like this for many years. I'm sorry, I can't change it."

"..."

The back of the great Taoist Chongkan fell into extreme silence in an instant.

Perhaps he didn't expect Tang Fengshu to be so frank, so calm, and so peaceful.

Even those picture books circulating outside.

It just vaguely points out the story between the two people.

"Tang Fengshu, you are the real shame of Taoism."

After a long time, Great Master Chongkan said indifferently: "I think... the one who should have been imprisoned here was not Yanxie, but you!"

"Is this unforgivable?"

Tang Fengshu shook his head and chuckled, "If I don't even dare to face my true heart and dare not speak, how can I practice Taoism? What can I do if I say something that everyone in the world knows?"

At this moment, she was smiling.

There is also sadness and helplessness in this smile.

This is something that everyone in the world knows, but there is one person who doesn't know it.

That person happens to be the smartest person in the world.

"It seems that you have made up your mind to do as you please and ignore the sect rules."

Great Master Chongkan was silent for a few breaths, then lowered his voice and said, "I have been too indulgent towards you in the past... This time, I will not give you the opportunity to act recklessly."

"This time... you don't have a choice."

Every word he spoke was like a divine command.

"From today on, you must change your ways and recognize the truth, and then I will let you go from the back mountain!"

"Why change your mind? Why change your face..."

Tang Fengshu frowned and looked at the Great Master Chongkan, and asked back word by word, his voice gradually getting louder: "Great Master, may I ask, what truth should I recognize?"

"As the leader of the Dao sect, how can you be trapped by love? The Dao is supreme, and the law of nature is supreme!"

The Great Master Chongkan shouted like thunder: "If you want to take over the Dao Sect, you must swear on your soul that from today on, you will no longer have any contact with Chen Jingxuan..."

"What kind of bullshit is this."

Tang Fengshu completely sacrificed the whisk, grasped it in his hand, and said coldly: "If you want to imprison me, just do it, why bother to find so many excuses, I think you imprisoned 'Yan Xie' in the same way!"

"..."

These words finally made Chongkan turn around slowly.

The great master in black robe merely glanced sideways and gave him a cold look.

Wow!
The sky was filled with lightning and began to shrink!
The rocks were shattered and the thunder was mighty. Tang Fengshu threw the whisk high up and made a gesture with one hand. The silver threads of the whisk opened up a world of dirt. She stepped on the ground and rushed out, actually running directly towards the current leader of the Taoist sect.

This world-renowned vegetarian has a strong murderous intention!
Just throw a punch like that!
boom!
The thunder magic was broken and the strong energy splashed.

The black-robed Taoist master remained indifferent, but his robe and hair were blown backwards, and the strong energy was blocked by the golden light of the cushion.

This punch could only hang in the air in the end.

Tang Fengshu's fist shattered the thunder magic.

But thunder is invisible after all. The shattered thunder dispersed into dense branches the next moment and turned into countless ropes, which wrapped Tang Fengshu layer by layer and pulled him to the ground!
"His!"

Tang Fengshu shook her shoulders and shattered the thunder. She punched repeatedly at the towering mountain figure with its back to her, but the thunder was loud but the rain was small, and the wind from her punches was so strong that it was drowned out by the thunder.

There is no suspense in this battle of the Avenue.

She was suppressed throughout.

The peak of Yin God...

After all, he can't compare with Yang Shen!
The great immortal sitting high on the cushion, even without any movement, was able to win the game just by relying on thunder magic.

This massive struggle came to an end so "slowly". Tang Fengshu was suppressed by the lightning little by little, and finally fell back to the ground helplessly. At this moment, the entire open space in front of the mountain was covered by the lightning magic, turning into a thunder lake!
The precious whisk was also knocked down.

The area where she could originally move shrank from a hundred feet to only three feet.

The visual range of divine consciousness is becoming shallower and shallower.

The sacred niches were originally very close to each other.

It's getting farther and farther away, and more and more like a mountain.

Even though he was entangled by thunder and lightning, even though he was under the pressure of heaven.

Tang Fengshu still sneered and looked up.

She was eventually surrounded by thousands of lightning bolts, as if she was wearing a cassock, but this cassock weighed tens of millions of pounds, making it impossible for her to lift her head or straighten her back.

(PS: Today's update is late. I'm really sorry. The reason is that I was halfway through writing the story of Dayue Country and I was not very satisfied with it. The story of Master Tang Zhai is also a very important main line in the future, so I took a detour and wasted time. I have to reorganize the details tomorrow to ensure that the handling of Master Lu's plot can satisfy more people. In fact, Panda knows that it is mainly because of the pursuit of updates. I update too little and everyone is not satisfied. I have been disturbed by trivial matters during this period. I have no power. I will adjust as soon as possible. Please forgive me.)
