Chat group: Living in a fantasy world, investing in countless realms

With a devout expression, Juechen bowed towards Mount Song and said, "The World-Honored One has said that all Buddhist sects in the world should gather at Mount Song to discuss important matters."

Lian Sheng was pleasantly surprised: "Shall we discuss important matters?"

“That’s right!” Juechen nodded. “When the World Honored One descended to earth, he was awakened to his past life experiences. He felt that the various sects of Buddhism were obsessed with personal gain and were not united. He wanted to dominate all the sects.”

Upon hearing this, Lian Sheng felt a pang of anxiety.

In that case, can he still be the leader of a faction?

"After achieving success, all virtuous people have the potential to become Vajra or Arhat."

Upon hearing this, Lian Sheng immediately forgot all his previous thoughts.

"We will humbly obey the Buddha's decree!"

Compared to immortality and becoming a Buddha or patriarch, what is the master of a sect in the human world?

Juechen smiled and said, "The World-Honored One will surely appreciate Abbot Liansheng's enlightenment."

"How dare you!"

Lianhua was very modest, saying, "How dare this humble monk call himself Abbot in front of Abbot Juechen?"

Such flattery gave the disciples behind Lian Sheng goosebumps.

Juechen, however, found it quite agreeable and nodded slightly without refutation.

"The journey to Mount Song is long and arduous, fraught with peril. I am here by the decree of the World Honored One to transmit to you the Bright Mantra bestowed by the Tai Xuan Dao Ancestor, for the purpose of subduing demons."

Lotus asked in surprise, "The Great Profound Dao Ancestor?"

“Indeed.” Juechen nodded, his face serious. “According to the World Honored One, the Great Profound Dao Ancestor is the source of countless worlds and all laws. Even he admires him greatly, only regretting that he could not become a disciple of the Dao Ancestor and listen to his teachings. He deeply regrets this. Fortunately, the Dao Ancestor is compassionate and bestowed a divine incantation, which is enough to protect us and subdue the external demons.”

Lian Sheng and the monks behind him were dumbfounded.

Isn't the Buddha the number one deity in Buddhism? Why is he praising other gods?

The group entered the temple, fasted and bathed, and then received the mantra of light.

"Homage to the Great Mysterious Dao Ancestor..."

As the Light Mantra resounded, Lian Sheng and the others no longer had any doubts.

Simply chanting incantations can make people young again and give them the power to subdue dragons and tigers.

It's no wonder that the World-Honored One so highly praised such beings, yet regretted not being able to become a disciple of the Dao Ancestor.

I experienced the benefits of the Light Mantra.

At this moment, Lian Sheng and the others felt the same way.

If the World Honored One had become a disciple of the Taoist Ancestor and received the true teachings, wouldn't there have been even more such good things?

The next day.

Only three people remained at Donglin Temple, while the others went with Liansheng to Mount Song to pay homage to the Buddha.

"What a pity, why must we guard the temple!"

"In this way, we will not be able to worship the Buddha or the image of the Dao Ancestor."

The monks who remained in the temple watched the abbot leave, their faces filled with regret.

the other side.

Zhang Junbao has left Shaolin and is now involved in the affairs of the world.

At this time, it was the end of the Song Dynasty, when eunuchs held power and the people were suffering.

This world has a very bizarre timeline.

It is said to be from the late Song Dynasty, but figures and official positions from the Ming Dynasty appear, making it extremely chaotic.

However, this is not important.

At least in Zhang Junbao's view, apart from the chaos, there was nothing unreasonable about this era.

Xiangyang.

"We respectfully welcome the True Martial Emperor!"

Just as Zhang Junbao and his monk soldiers captured Xiangyang and gathered tens of thousands of soldiers, a group of Taoist priests arrived in a flurry.

Upon seeing him, he immediately knelt down on the ground.

Zhang Junbao claimed to be Zhenwu, and wanted to eliminate injustices in the world and restore peace to the land.

Initially, Taoism looked down on it and even disliked it.

Everyone knows that Zhenwu the Great is a deity in Taoism.

Using Zhenwu as a title, wouldn't that drag Taoism into the mire as well?

Since the Five Pecks of Rice and the Way of Peace, true Taoists have been extremely afraid of being associated with rebellion.

It wasn't until Zhang Junbao displayed his supernatural powers, conquering dozens of cities and gathering an army of nearly 200,000 that the situation in the world was completely changed.

Taoism then came to its senses.

This person is not some charlatan, but truly possesses great supernatural powers and could very well be the True Martial Emperor.

In particular, the Taoist priests in the Wudang area had personally witnessed Zhang Junbao soaring through the clouds and shattering a mountain peak with a wave of his hand, thus intimidating tens of thousands of troops, and they were even more convinced of his identity.

Great Emperor, why did you reincarnate and return to Taoism without seeking out our sect, but instead brought a group of monks with you?

Am I, Taoism, really that bad?

And so, the opening scene came about. (Zhao Nuozhao)

Zhang Junbao looked at the Taoist priests, young and old, men and women, bowing all over the ground, and felt a headache coming on.

Although Tianbao firmly believed that he was the True Martial Emperor, and he claimed so, he garnered a lot of support.

However, he really doesn't have any memories of Zhenwu.

This is also why he didn't seek out the Taoist sect.

Without the memories of Zhenwu, he felt unsure of himself when confronted directly.

"Your Majesty, is it our fault for being late?"

An old Taoist priest asked in a trembling voice, "If the Great Emperor forgives me, I am willing to die to atone for my sins!"

As he spoke, he made to slit his own throat.

Zhang Junbao quickly grabbed the sword from a distance and reassured everyone, "Please calm down. I did not seek help from the Taoist sect because I have only cultivated supernatural powers and have not yet awakened my memories of my past life."

Everyone suddenly understood, and their doubts vanished.

"Your Majesty, this is not an important matter!"

"Yes, we beg the Great Emperor to return to Taoism and receive our worship!"

Chapter 1017 Your legend is too fake! (First update, please subscribe)

Zhang Junbao was somewhat speechless.

The events of the past month have far exceeded his expectations.

The emergence of true qi martial arts and the demeanor of Shaolin monks were both different from what he had imagined.

In his youth, he admired monks like Jueyuan, who were indifferent to fame and fortune and lived a carefree life.

Even the other eminent monks in the temple were automatically idealized in his mind, becoming similar figures.

But what happened next changed his mind.

Whether it was the abbot or the heads of each department, they all seemed to be different from what I had imagined.

Like ordinary people, they are also keen on fame and fortune.

On the contrary, his master Jueyuan was the oddball in Shaolin.

Now, these Taoist priests haven't even verified their own identities, yet they directly claim to be Zhenwu, sitting in charge of Taoism, just like the abbot of Shaolin, only caring about practical benefits.

Ultimately, this is simply because they value their own status and supernatural powers, and want to make Taoism more prosperous.

After a month on the mountain, Zhang Junbao had met all sorts of people and gained a clearer understanding of human nature. He was no longer the naive and ignorant boy from Shaoshi Mountain.

The world is corrupt, and people's hearts are unbearable.

Zhang Junbao sighed inwardly, looked at everyone, and said, "Please get up first. Let me deal with the matters in Xiangyang City before we talk about Zhenwu."

800 "Yes".

"Your Majesty, please give us your orders if you need anything. Although we cannot help Your Majesty govern the world, we can certainly help soothe the people's hearts."

Zhang Junbao nodded, a thought forming in his mind, and arranged for everyone to do something to appease the people.

"Master Ling, do you really think that True Martial Emperor can rule the world?"

In Xiangyang City, on a street, a group of men and women gathered together, whispering to each other.

Master Ling snorted: "If you had seen the Great Emperor fly into the sky and shatter mountains, you wouldn't have this question. I saw it with my own eyes; the Great Emperor sliced ​​a mountain in half with a single sword stroke."

"what?"
