One person: I am just a pawnshop owner

Then they heard them say:

"That group of people actually thought our goal was just to set fires. Hahahaha, it's hilarious."

"That's the perspective of mortals. When they see the flash of fire, they can't think of anything else."

"So you got it?"

"Of course, with a thief like me taking action, there's no reason why this thing can't be accomplished. Just wait and see!"

A short man took out a crystal clear gem from his arms.

Everyone present was extremely happy when they saw it.

According to legend, there is a precious pearl in the treasury of the Dadu Palace. Whoever holds this pearl can open Genghis Khan's tomb, which contains treasures that ordinary people cannot imagine.

The goal of this group of people is the treasure.

"Okay, okay, guys, we're rich now, awesome!"

"Hahahaha!"

"No, how come you, a crazy woman, brought back a woman?"

Suddenly someone looked at a middle-aged woman and asked.

The woman was holding a rolled-up quilt in one hand, and there was movement inside, obviously there was someone inside.

The woman chuckled and said:

"It's time for my silly son to get married. I think this girl is pretty and a perfect match for my son."

The woman's words caused laughter from everyone present.

But they all know what kind of person the woman's son is.

He was born with a deformity and his brain is not in good condition.

They couldn't help but feel ridiculous for the girl in the woman's arms.

"What are you laughing at? If you keep laughing, I'll tear your skin off!"

The woman screamed, and just as everyone was about to make fun of her, they suddenly fell silent.

Then they all looked at one place.

In the shade of the trees, a figure in Taoist robes gradually walked out.

Only when he walked into the bright moonlight did everyone see his true face.

The man had a handsome face, an elegant temperament, and a sword on his waist, looking like an immortal banished from heaven.

But at this moment, the man's eyes were full of coldness.

This person is Zhang Fang!

"Oh, so you're the one who's behind Baiyun Temple. Why are you alone? Do you think you can take on all of us by yourself?"

Someone in Quan Xing sneered.

Zhang Fang stood there holding a sword, and said indifferently:

"Put that man down, and I'll let you die a quick death. Otherwise, I'll make you die in torture!"

Zhang Fang's voice made the person wrapped in the quilt move even more vigorously.

The woman holding the quilt stretched out her hand slightly, and a piece of silk thread suddenly flowed out from her sleeve, and then she tied the quilt tightly.

She put the quilt on the ground, looked at Zhang Fang and smiled:

"Only you? Ridiculous!"

As soon as the words fell, the woman immediately took action!

Endless silk threads gushed out from her cuffs, and under the cover of night, they were like a dragnet.

But then there was just a flash of sword light, and the silk net broke into pieces.

The woman's expression changed when she saw this, and then she shouted loudly:

"Why don't you attack together? This kid is not simple!"

As soon as he finished speaking, more than ten people from Quanxing launched an attack on Zhang Fang.

Under the cover of night, Zhang Fang fought alone with a sword. His figure was graceful and elegant, and the sword light kept shining in the night. The more than ten Quan Xings also continuously used their own methods.

There was constant wind and fire, and silver needles flew from the dark from time to time, not to mention puppets and other things coming to interfere with Zhang Fang.

This battle was indeed the most difficult one Zhang Fang had ever experienced in all his years of practice.

If he were alone, he would be confident that he could defeat them one by one.

But at this time he still needed to pay attention to the person in the quilt not far away.

He knew very well that it was not appropriate to fight for a long time at this moment, so he had an idea.

Then, his sword light danced faster, and in an instant, he inhaled through his nose and snorted angrily. Everyone present was shocked by the snort.

Quanzhen practices dual cultivation of body and soul, and the spirit and soul are extremely strong under the inner alchemy method. Naturally, they also master the method of attacking people's minds and souls.

Zhang Fang's move is similar to the blowing air in Bajiquan, but it is different in essence.

Those who practice the Qi-blowing technique do not necessarily have strong souls, so they are easily attacked by those who use the same technique.

However, this Quanzhen move can only be practiced after one's mind and soul have been polished to a certain degree. When it is performed, it is more powerful than the attack on a person's mind and soul by blowing air!

Even those who are more advanced can use it to shatter others' upper dantian!

Seeing that his method worked, Zhang Fang quickly stepped to the quilt, picked up the quilt and left.

His body movements were personally taught by Zhang Quan.

His brother was worried that his younger brother would run too slowly if he encountered danger, so he paid extra attention to Zhang Fang's physical movements.

This is when it comes in handy.

The more than ten top players behind him couldn't catch up with Zhang Fang.

They could only watch Zhang Fang escape into Baiyun Temple with the quilt in his arms.

They had the courage to set fire to Dadu, but they did not have the courage to break into the Quanzhen Longmen ancestral temple.

Apart from anything else, one of the greatest masters of the time, True Man Qingxuan is still alive!

"Damn it!"

Everyone in Quanxing cursed and left in a hurry.

Inside the temple, Zhang Fang used a sword to pull aside the quilt, revealing Fan Min, whose hands and feet were tied with invisible silk threads, and a piece of cloth was stuffed in the girl's mouth.

Zhang Fang quickly untied him.

During this process, Fan Min's eyes were always fixed on Zhang Fang.

After Zhang Fang finished, Fan Min hugged him without waiting for him to say anything.

"I knew you would come to save me, my little Taoist priest~"

Zhang Fang's body suddenly stiffened. Just as he was about to speak, he saw Taoist Qingxuan standing right next to him.

He immediately pushed Fan Min away and then bowed to Taoist Qingxuan.

Taoist Qingxuan looked at Zhang Fang, then at Fan Min, and said:

"There are thieves causing trouble outside tonight. Please rest in the temple for a while. I will send someone to escort you back tomorrow."

Fan Min agreed immediately.

Then Taoist Qingxuan said:

"Junshi, come with me."

Zhang Fang has now reached adulthood, and his courtesy name was given by Taoist Qingxuan, which is "Junshi".

Zhang Fang bowed and agreed.

Then the two of them left.

Then another person came to take Fan Min to the guest room to rest.

Fourth update!

Please give me flowers, votes, and rewards!

Chapter 21: It's just a microcosm of thousands of stories of cultivation~ (Please give me flowers, votes, and rewards!)

Qiu Zu Temple.

This is one of the most important halls in Baiyun Temple, because the remains of Qiu Zu are buried right below this hall.

At this time, Taoist Qingxuan and Zhang Fang were in this hall.

Taoist Qingxuan stood in front. He looked at Zhang Fang and asked:

"Jun Shi, what are your thoughts on Princess Fan Min?"

"disciple···"

“You shall not lie.”

Zhang Fang was about to speak when Taoist Qingxuan interrupted him.

Zhang Fang's expression changed slightly when he heard this, and he finally said with a bow:

"I don't know, this is what I say honestly."

Taoist Qingxuan stroked his beard and said softly:

"Jun Shi, if you were asked to choose between practicing cultivation and Princess Fan Min, which one would you choose?"

"Disciple... choose to practice!"

Taoist Qingxuan closed his eyes slightly, and after a moment of silence, he said:

"The precepts of my Quanzhen lineage seem strict to the world, even comparable to those of Zen Buddhism. But it is precisely because of this that our ancestor became an immortal."

"Not to mention the two ancestors Zhong and Lu, even the founder Wang Chongyang once said that ordinary people who practice Taoism must first follow these twelve words: cut off alcohol, sex, money, anger, clinging to love, and worry and anxiety."

"Why do you think Patriarch Chongyang said that?"

Zhang Fang replied:

"Because the seven emotions and five desires are obstacles to the cultivation of Taoism, as practitioners, we must obey the precepts. Only in this way can we maintain our original intentions and eventually achieve Taoism."

Qingxuan nodded slightly and continued:

"We are both cultivators. For example, the Zhengyi lineage only needs to preserve one's original heart, and the precepts are far less strict than ours. Do you know why?"

"Disciple doesn't know."

"Because the two ancestors, Zhong and Lu, once said that we are all mortals practicing cultivation. As mortals, our hearts are also mortal. Mortal hearts are inevitably tempted by many external things in the world, which will cause the spirit to be disturbed. If any one of the three treasures of human beings, essence, energy and spirit, is not firm, then the path of cultivation will not reach the end."

"A path like Zhengyi's is acceptable for those with talent. Talented people will naturally uphold their true heart, but what about ordinary people? Without strict discipline, how can ordinary people maintain their true heart?"

"How many gifted practitioners in the world can consistently maintain their original mind? And how many practitioners are restless and uneasy?"

"In Zen Buddhism, there's a distinction between sudden enlightenment and gradual enlightenment. Those who achieve sudden enlightenment seek perfection in a single word or phrase, believing their minds are as vast as the heavens and the earth. They can be casual in their daily lives, believing that once their minds are unlocked, they can become Buddhas and ancestors. But how can this not be an excuse for practitioners to indulge themselves?"

"Gradual enlightenment is about understanding one's mind and seeing one's true nature, being cautious in every aspect, and seeking to cultivate and improve oneself day by day. Although this path is difficult, it is more appropriate than sudden enlightenment, because at least it won't give rise to too many demons and evil seeds."

"This is why our Quanzhen lineage's rules are so strict."

Taoist Qingxuan paused and continued:

"Junshi, you are a gifted person, so I can give you a choice. If you are willing, you can return to secular life and be with Princess Fan Min. If you are not willing, then you can travel as a Quanzhen disciple. Baiyun Temple is no longer suitable for you to stay."

He looked at Zhang Fang calmly, waiting for Zhang Fang's response.

Zhang Fang stood there for a long time.

Always silent...

The next day.
