Chapter 259 Slap
Longhu Mountain.

The first mountain of Taoism.

Zhengyi Sect.

The first religion of Taoism.

There are ten Taoist palaces, eighty-one Taoist temples, fifty Taoist monasteries and ten Taoist nunneries in Longhu Mountain. It is a veritable "Taoist capital" and a kingdom of Taoists.

The endless Taoist palace, although a little dilapidated, is still quite shocking.

Most of the Taoist temples are just places for tourists and believers to burn incense and worship.

There are mazes outside the true mountain gates of inheritance to keep out mortals who are seeking immortals and Taoism.

Under the guidance of Zhang Jingqing, Zhuang Boshi entered the mountain gate, which was formed entirely of natural strange stones and showed its ancient and majestic style.

Suddenly, the view opened up and I saw an absurdly large square in front of me, paved entirely with square stones, polished to an extremely smooth surface.
At the four corners of the square, there is a huge stone statue nearly ten feet tall. They are the four spirits, Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermillion Bird and Black Tortoise, each in a flying or lurking posture.

The various acupoints in the square display the twenty-eight constellations of the celestial sphere, corresponding one to one with the stars in the sky, which is truly extraordinary.

In addition, there are some cranes and monkeys that are lifelike and close to nature, as if they can come back to life at any time, making them unforgettable at first sight.

At this time, almost all the disciples of Zhengyi Sect gathered in the square, dressed solemnly, with lowered brows and submissive eyes, not daring to make a sound.

Just now, the True Lord said, "There are some among you who have ill intentions towards me," which almost frightened most of the Taoists to death.

Even the old Taoist priest Zhang Jingqing had an ugly expression on his face, because he really didn't expect that there were so many traitors in Longhu Mountain.

But he also admired Zhenjun's abilities.

The True Lord just took a quick glance with his spiritual eyes and pulled out all the spies planted by Quan Xing and the Japanese in Longhu Mountain in one breath.

There were not one or two, but nearly ten of them, most of whom were true cultivators wearing Five Mountains Crowns, and they also had a very high status in Zhengyi. Unexpectedly, half of them were Quan Xing monsters and half were Japanese spies.

The one with the highest status among them had been awarded the "Shangqing Three Caves and Five Thunders Sutra" and was a third-rank official. Zhang Jingqing always politely called him "Senior Brother".

This sudden encounter destroyed his good mood and even made him feel uncontrollable shame.

Having lost face in front of the gods, where is the dignity of Zhengyi Sect as the leader of Taoism?

This is like a senior leader coming to inspect work in a township, attaching great importance to it and accompanying people at all levels, even trimming the flowers and plants on the street, only to find that the names on the table signs were misspelled.

Although the leaders just laughed it off and didn't take it seriously, the county leaders must have been terrified and filled with fear.

"Don't worry about it, it's just a small matter." Zhuang Boshi seemed to see that Zhang Jingqing was in a very bad mood and comforted her.

He was so sensitive to malicious intent that he could tell at a glance which individuals were suspicious. He hadn't expected that there were not only Japanese spies but also Quan Xing's gang involved.

Why are they hostile to me? Could it be that these people have become obsessed with Yang Zhu's words "don't lose even a little bit"?

Or maybe they felt that the sudden appearance of a god had ruined their plans, and although they didn't dare to be disrespectful on the surface, they couldn't help but feel resentful in their hearts.

Among all the people, there are heroes, but there are more lunatics and villains. If we kill them all, there will definitely be some innocent people, but if we kill every other one, there will definitely be some who slip through the net.

"Reporting to the True Lord, the mountain sect is in misfortune and the family tradition is not right. The blame lies with me. I'm sorry to have embarrassed you, True Lord." Zhang Jingqing had a bitter face and a self-deprecating smile on his lips.

He thought he was in a solid state, but in fact, he had already become a broken sieve with leaks everywhere.

If the True Lord had not pointed it out, the harm caused by these traitors in the face of life and death would be unimaginable, and Zhang Jingqing would have become the eternal sinner of Zhengyi.

Zhuang Boshi didn't care. If Longhu Mountain was so solid, Quan Xing wouldn't have attacked it.

Moreover, the head of this Taoist sect, which has a great influence in society, is definitely the focus of Japanese infiltration.

"The Heavenly Palace is closed, and the Taoist tradition is cut off." Zhuang Boshi consoled him, "It's already difficult for you to persist in offering incense."

Zhang Jingqing also sighed: "Ever since Liu Bowen severed the dragon vein more than five hundred years ago, he cut off the connection between heaven and earth."

"In the decades that followed, even the city gods and land gods of the mortal world gradually disappeared."

"Those who cultivate the Dao will no longer be able to ascend to immortality, and countless geniuses will only turn into a pile of yellow earth."

“We keep following the footsteps of our ancestors, but we can never find the famous mountains and rivers.”

"In my generation, there are not even a few sect leaders who believe that immortals still exist."

Just like how top scientists tend to believe in metaphysics when they get older, believing that there is a Creator in the world. Because they have reached the forefront of the world, they still encounter too many phenomena that they cannot understand.

The top monks in the Dharma-Ending Age are more likely to pursue science and eventually become atheists.

Because they reached the top of the world, but found that there was no road ahead and no immortals in the sky.

Since reaching the pinnacle of cultivation does not lead to immortality, transcendence, or freedom, then the gods before them were not just ancestors who had reached the pinnacle of cultivation.

It was just that the common people passed it down from generation to generation and finally became immortals?
He even knows thunder and fire magic, which is no different from the immortals in ancient times.

Zhang Jingqing was once troubled, thinking that the so-called heaven, the immortals and the connection between heaven and earth three hundred years ago were all compiled by their ancestors.

Perhaps there really are no immortals in this world.

But his question finally got an answer today.

He bowed solemnly, "True Lord, forgive my daring question. What exactly happened in heaven back then?"

——That’s a good question. I want to know that too.

Zhuang Boshi didn't know how to respond, so he could only say mysteriously, "This is another great calamity of the millennium, following the Dragon and Phoenix calamity, the Lich calamity, and the Conferred God calamity."

"Among the 100,000 gods and Buddhas in heaven, only one in ten survives."

"The rest have no choice but to delve deeper into the cycle of history, seeking a glimmer of liberation."

"It's a pity, it's a pity."

Based on the fragmentary words of Michael, Akado and Anubis, it can be concluded that something major must have happened in this world more than three hundred years ago.

The Christian pantheon, the Eastern pantheon, and other pantheons, large and small, left this world almost at the same time.

In the end, only two or three kittens, big and small, were left, falling into deep sleep and hibernation, causing their extraordinary powers to decline significantly.

Ordinary humans are the real protagonists of the world.

Zhang Jingqing certainly didn't understand, but this was both the Dragon and Phoenix calamity and the Lich calamity, which was simply horrifying.

But anyway, the human world has not been destroyed in the past three hundred years, so it should have little to do with people like me. If the sky falls, there will be tall people like the True Lord to hold it up.

Zhuang Bo's eyelids twitched slightly, and his gaze finally seemed to flow like a river of stars: "You must know that the traveler beyond the mist and clouds is not the mirror polisher in the dust."

"Don't worry, you are all talented, capable and destined to be immortals."

"This time, I have come down to the mortal world at great cost, in order to open up the road to heaven again and pass on the immortal law."

Zhang Jingqing immediately became excited after hearing this, and said incoherently, "Can the Heavenly Road really be reopened?"

"Becoming an immortal, is there really hope!!!"

Zhuang Boshi pointed with one finger, and the pure true energy, with the help of the divine eye, entered Zhang Jingqing's body.

Zhang Jingqing suddenly felt his mind clear, and the Qi in his body began to condense, refine, and transcend involuntarily.

At that moment, he seemed to feel that he was about to condense the golden elixir and ascend to heaven.

But as that power left, everything just now seemed like a mirage.

Zhang Jingqing suppressed his disappointment and bowed deeply again, saying, "Thank you very much, Master Zhenjun. This is the true method of cultivation."

"If I could see the immortal technique, I would have no regrets even if I died!"

"It's okay. As long as the path to immortality is reopened, you and your disciples will have the opportunity to achieve enlightenment and become immortals." Zhuang Boshi said politely.

Of course, this immortal is definitely not an immortal comparable to a saint, but rather a fourth-level Nascent Soul cultivator in this worldview of gods and ghosts.

But Zhang Jingqing was almost in tears.

What could be better than having a country in ruins and one's own old age and declining vitality, when the gods come again and not only destroy the foreign invaders but also bring the hope of becoming an immortal?

Even if I don’t become an immortal in the end, it doesn’t matter. My disciples always have hope!
Zhang Jingqing quickly said, "Master, I have a disciple whose talent is quite decent. He is a promising talent."

"He's just suffering from a lack of future prospects and has been quite lost lately. Could you please give him some pointers?"

"Master." A deep voice suddenly sounded.

Zhang Jingqing turned around and didn't know when his disciple was standing behind him. He suddenly became a little angry.

"I walked silently and disturbed the True Lord. Zhiwei, why don't you come and apologize!"

Zhuang Boshi had already discovered that man.

He is very tall, but unkempt, yet he exudes an ethereal and otherworldly aura.

One by one, Zhang Zhiwei.

While Zhuang Boshi was looking at Zhang Zhiwei, Zhang Zhiwei was also looking at him.

This was the only Taoist who dared to look Zhuang Boshi in the face without lowering his head after entering the mountain gate.

For some fanatical believers, it is the great sin of blasphemy by looking directly at the gods.

Boundless arrogance.

Zhang Zhiwei ignored Zhang Jingqing's nagging.

He looked straight at Zhuang Boshi and asked with a confused look, "Master, I have a question. Could you please explain it to me?"

"Speak." Zhuang Boshi asked curiously.

This heavenly master, who is below the only one in the world and has no ceiling to break, what kind of questions will he ask?

After all, such an arrogant and confident person would not challenge the gods in front of so many people.

He doesn't seem like a battle fanatic either.

"Are immortals really as powerful as the legend says? In what way are they stronger than me?" Zhang Zhiwei grinned, as if he was saying something very ordinary.

"Could you please enlighten me?"

His voice was not very loud, but it was clearly heard by every Taoist in the Taoist temple.

As soon as these words were spoken, the square fell silent.

With a crackling sound, the whisk fell to the ground.

Everyone looked at Zhang Zhiwei as if he were a monster.

Even a few timid Taoist priests fell to their knees, trembling all over and unable to speak. Zhang Zhiwei's outrageous words made them wish they had gone deaf and hadn't heard a single word.

Zhang Zhiwei, he is crazy, he said he wants to challenge the gods.

Or is it the mythical Lord Erlang!

Zhang Huaiyi was one of those who collapsed on the ground. He knew that his senior brother was quite arrogant, but he didn't expect him to be so arrogant.

He actually dared to ask for a competition with the gods.

He had just been taught a lesson by Zhang Zhiwei some time ago, and he deeply realized the true strength of his senior brother.

But he would not think that he could be compared with the gods in any way.

There was silence for a while, and the air seemed stagnant.

Zhang Jingqing stood up with a grim face and bowed to Zhuang Boshi again.

"True Lord, this evil disciple is arrogant and lacks discipline. This is my fault."

"Please forgive his sins, if there is any punishment, please—"

Zhuang Boshi waved his wide sleeves, sending out a breeze that lifted Zhang Jingqing up.

"No problem. I see that he has a deep affinity with immortality. He must be a true seed of cultivation."

"In that case, let's give it a try."

Zhang Zhiwei's eyes became brighter. Not only was he invincible among his peers, but even the older generation found it difficult to find an opponent.

During this period, he felt very confused because his master could no longer guide him.

What was recorded in the classics was completely different from what he had cultivated.

Where is the way forward?

Today, it appeared!

"Master, I'm sorry for the poor performance!" Zhang Zhiwei clasped his fists.

Sonorous!

A roar burst out!
Then, a golden light suddenly appeared on Zhang Zhiwei's body and shot towards the immortal in the cloud-patterned wide robe in front of him.

Almost at the same time, he slapped out with his palm, and lightning flashed on the palm of his hand.

With a sudden burst of lightning, the floor of the square exploded instantly.

Zhang Huaiyi was shocked. His senior brother performed much better than when he fought with him.

And the first thing he did was to use the Five Thunders Righteousness and the Golden Light Curse.

Although Zhang Jingqing was angry at his disciple's reckless behavior, he had to admit that his disciple was better than him and was much better at using the Five Thunders Method and the Golden Light Curse than him.

But he was also worried that his disciples might anger the True Lord. What if the True Lord used his divine power and something unexpected happened?

Zhang Zhiwei did not have as complicated thoughts as others. He only had two thoughts: how powerful are the gods?

In the end, what is the strength?

But the figure in front of him disappeared in an instant, and Zhang Zhiwei's pupils suddenly dilated, because at the same time, his shoulder had been grabbed by a hand.

But I didn't feel anything at all.

——No wind, not fast movement.

——It is a method of relocation.

Real immortal magic!
Zhang Zhiwei became even more excited. He seemed to see the immortal gate opening a gap towards him.

He turned around and attacked again, condensing the Yang Five Thunders in his right hand, which was his strongest move without reservation.

Yang Wulei was truly powerful and could be called the nemesis of weirdness. At the same time, his power was terrifying. He penetrated the ground like a heavy artillery shell and directly exploded the square.

At the same time, Zhang Zhiwei reversed the flow of Qi in his left hand, and actually used the Yin Five Thunders that could only be practiced by a person who had lost his virginity.

Immediately afterwards, yin and yang merged, the five thunders became one, and they hit the figure without reservation.

Zhuang Boshi couldn't help but admire that Zhang Zhiwei was truly a genius.

If this move was replaced by Kayako from The Grudge, she would be able to resist it.

Even if it is the seventh wave of giant forms, there is only one way to go, which is to perish on the spot.

Unfortunately, he is no longer the A'mon of Wu.

The gears turned, click.

fit.

He did not dodge or evade, but relied on his body to withstand the attack.

No scratches, not even a wrinkle on the clothes.

Zhang Zhiwei looked incredulous.

"What a beautiful Five Thunders Righteous Method." Zhuang Boshi still looked relaxed and praised.

"Then, let's stop here."

Zhang Zhiwei was shocked and felt boundless terror suddenly descending.

As the True Lord's words rang in my ears.

In his perception, it seemed as if a huge hand was slowly falling from above, and it was getting bigger and bigger, just like the sky collapsing and the world turning upside down.

To Zhang Zhiwei, everything in the world has lost its color.

With a snap.

The boiling Qi in Zhang Zhiwei's body was completely dispersed.

In an instant, his consciousness went black, his mind went blank, he slipped to the ground and passed out.

For a moment, the entire square was silent and everyone's expression was out of control.

Shock, confusion, admiration, reverence, and fear.

Zhang Zhiwei's ability to achieve the unprecedented unity of yin and yang has overturned the cognition of all Zhengyi Taoists.

But the True Lord didn't try to hide at all, not even the corner of his clothes got dirty, and he easily took it all off.

He is indeed worthy of being the true lord who achieved sainthood in the flesh in the Chan sect!

It’s really a magical method!

Zhuang Boshi turned around and said to Zhang Jingqing, who looked horrified, "This disciple is extremely talented. If he can inherit the righteous Dharma, his future will be limitless."

Zhang Jingqing regained consciousness and bowed quickly to express his gratitude.

He understood that if the True Lord used his strength to clean out the Japanese invaders in Nanjing, Zhang Zhiwei would probably be turned into powder in an instant.

After a brief play, Zhuang Boshi tested the light in his heart and also took the opportunity to get a thorough look at Zhang Zhiwei.

In this world, the Taoist and Buddhist sects have lost their traditional ways, and no one can truly practice Taoism.

Only some techniques passed down from the past remain, but there is no real method of cultivation that pursues the great Dao.

Even if there are very advanced techniques such as the Heavenly Master Degree, the Eight Wonders, and the Three Levels of Reversal of Life, no matter what, techniques are just techniques.

If you can't cultivate the golden elixir, you can't even pretend to practice as a cultivator, let alone learn the real practice of rune technology.

Now I have only practiced some Dharma, which is really far from enough.

"Master, we are blessed with this opportunity to become an immortal. We will set off today." Zhang Jingqing said respectfully.

After this worship, everyone in Zhengyi firmly believed that the immortal had descended to the world.

Moreover, after knowing that the road to heaven was about to reopen, his subjective initiative burst out with 200%.

Zhuang Boshi looked up at the sky.

However, he also completely confirmed his identity as Yang Jian.

In the ancient history, there was a man named Qingyuan Dao Miao Zhenjun who was almost killed by a slap from Zheng Zha who had just ascended to the throne.

He shouldn’t be so stingy. I hope he won’t be blacklisted by the Honghuang Heavenly Court.

At almost the same time, similar incidents were also taking place in Wudang, Shangqing, Emei and other places.

Zheng Zha performed the role of Zhenwu's return in Wudang, but his appearance did have some problems, although he was extremely powerful.

But some of the Wudang elders had seen Western vampires before.

Chu Xuan used the Trinity Sect's Thunder Department Orthodoxy (the fourth level of electric current control) to scare the "Daying Immortal" Zuo Rutong to death.

This kind of magic can’t withstand even the third level of reverse rebirth, let alone the eighth level.

Chu Xuan discussed cultivation with Zuo Rutong, and with a little guidance, he helped Zuo Rutong overcome the difficulties, truly cultivate the innate Qi, and achieve the third level of reverse rebirth.

Ming Yanwei, Zhao Yingkong, and Zhan Lan happened to meet the Ten Heroes of the Tang Sect and the Biheshan Ninjas who were preparing for a decisive battle in Shuzhong.

I don’t know if it’s because the Shu area is isolated from the news and the news is transmitted too slowly, or if these people are so focused on preparing for the decisive battle that they have no time to worry about anything else.

This group of people actually had no idea of ​​the major events happening in the outside world.

Everyone in the Tang Sect also hoped that they would leave this troubled place as soon as possible.

Until Ming Yanwei fired three explosive lightning arrows that flattened half of Kulong Mountain and wiped out all the ten ninjas of Bihe Mountain.

Everyone in the Tang Sect was stunned. Only then did they finally understand the recent major events from the narration of the Qingcheng Mountain’s headmaster.

The Wang family, hidden in the shadows, could not resist the temptation of longevity and immortality, and linked up with Quan Xing, Japanese aliens, the United States, France and other forces to launch the largest tomb robbery in history.

After all, they bet on the Japanese early on, and now the Japanese are on the decline.

If we don't unite with other forces, I'm afraid we won't even have the chance to join the game.

As for immortals, if Taoism can give them, can’t the Wang family give them as well?
Moreover, as soon as he finds them, he will present them to the immortal as soon as possible, and then kill the foreign forces to prove his identity as an insider.

Immortal, you won’t blame me, right?
