The visitor was of medium build, with eyebrows at the temples, a long beard, and a pale face with restrained aura, just like an ordinary Confucian scholar.
He wears a light-colored cloud robe to show his extraordinary status. He raises his hands and feet in a natural manner, as if he has integrated with the surrounding mountains, rocks, clouds and mist. Looking at it makes people feel confused and delusional. It's like others are there but the mountain is not; it's like the mountain is there but there's no trace of the person.
Ning Yuan and Wen Xin have already hurriedly stepped forward to salute, saying they would like to meet the master!
"When did I, Wen Xuanzi, let my disciples share their worries? Haha!" The middle-aged man walked up to him, twirling his beard and smiling! This person is none other than Ning Yuan and Wen Xin’s master, Wen Xuanzi, the master of the Shenzhou Sect, a master in the middle stage of divine transformation!
Wen Xin looked stunned and said softly: "Master! What I said to my senior brother cannot be hidden from you, so please let me do it..." Ning Yuan also followed up and said: "Junior sister's filial piety is commendable! Master, look..."
Wen Xuanzi put his hands behind his back and looked at the clouds in the distance, his eyes deep. He said noncommittally: "It's too early to say this now! As a teacher, I know what I know..."
Wen Xin, who was feeling uneasy, saw that although her master did not agree to her request, she did not refuse her request. She felt relieved and asked, "How are you doing, uncle?"
Ning Yuan nodded in agreement: "Unable to be summoned by my uncle, it is also inconvenient for my disciples to go to salute and say hello. My junior sister and I are very concerned..."
Wen Xuanzi turned around, looked at his two proud disciples, and said slowly: "Your uncle has been back in the mountain for many years, and few people know about it. To this day, there is still no news about this matter, so you two must remember it!"
The two brothers and sisters did not dare to be careless, so they all claimed it was!
Wen Xuanzi nodded and continued: "Until your master recovers his cultivation, he will not meet anyone except me! However, this Dao Discussion Conference is his idea, and I take it for granted as a master, so I should comply with it." !”
"Master uncle has foresight! But this move is too quiet, and it will inevitably arouse the suspicion of the Nine Provinces Alliance! Disciple is worried..." Ning Yuan stopped talking. What he meant was that when the Shenzhou Sect was in charge of the Nine Provinces Alliance for a hundred years, if they went to war in such a big way, they were afraid that it would cause criticism and would be detrimental to Xiazhou. As a junior, it is difficult for him to question the decisions of his elders.
Wen Xuanzi hummed to show his approval, but then he pointed out: "What you think is biased!"
Ning Yuan looked horrified and hurriedly bowed his hands and said, "Master, please teach me!" Wen Xin also bowed and saluted, respectfully making a gesture of listening.
"As we all know, Daoqi Sect has good relations with Zhenwu Sect and Gongliang Sect, Tiandao Sect has old relations with Liushen Sect and Mo Sect, and our Shenzhou Sect has frequent contacts with Tianxing Sect and Tiandao Sect. Among the nine immortal sects, only Bai Anmen has become friends with each other, but they are independent. Now, Daoqimen and Tiandaomen have become mortal enemies, and chaos has arisen in the Kyushu Alliance. Starting from the actions of Houtu Xianjing, the chaos will become increasingly uncontrollable!
Sooner or later, Dao Qi Sect will know about your uncle's return to Shanmen. When the time comes, how can Wen Baizi be willing to give up! But your uncle was framed by Wen Daozi back then and almost lost his life. For this reason, he was already holding back his anger. As long as his cultivation level recovers, it will be the time when the two families are at odds with each other..."
At this point, Wen Xuanzi pondered for a moment, and then said: "I took over as the leader of the sect after my senior brother was in trouble! His hatred is a great shame for our Shenzhou sect! And the Daoqi sect fought with the Tiandao sect, and I fought with They are like water and fire, and other immortal sects are bound to get involved! Haha! The war in Kyushu is about to start, you two tell me, what should we do..."
Wen Xin and Ning Yuan stood aside with solemn expressions. Everything Master said was like a storm, and it was really heavy on my heart! If this is true, the Nine Provinces Immortal Sect will no longer have the peace it once had!
A gust of mountain wind blew by, the wind and clouds were turbulent, and the fiery morning sun beat with it, pouring down unpredictable rays of light, making the scene around them more and more confusing!
Seeing the panic of the two disciples, Wen Xuanzi twirled his beard and smiled lightly, then said: "As the ancients said, there is no honor or disgrace in the secluded forest, and there is no heat and coolness on the road of morality! All kinds of things in this immortal way are no different from the right and wrong in the ordinary world. We are waiting for you. It’s just a matter of time! As the saying goes, only when you have mastered the true nature of your heart can you express your heart; only when you have mastered the ordinary ways of the world can you be able to practice it, haha..."
What Wen Xuanzi said contains hidden mysteries, but it also makes sense! Who can say that not avoiding grudges and right and wrong is not the way to live in this world! Therefore, we should discuss the matter as it is and put our minds behind it. All this is just an experience!
The so-called sounds of birds chirping have their own way of conveying the heart, and the lush grass is nothing more than an article about Taoism. Those who are confused will be confused by themselves, and those who are enlightened will be enlightened by themselves!
…
A bright moon hangs high in the sky, and Ao Lake and the surrounding peaks are all shrouded in the melting moonlight. In this quiet night, figures of monks appeared in front of various caves around the lake.
Tian Zhenzi walked out of his cave and sat down cross-legged in front of the door. He couldn't help but look to the right, a trace of anxiety flashed in his expression. He secretly murmured in his heart, boy, aren't you 70% to 80% sure of conceiving a baby after five years of seclusion? It's been seven years, why hasn't there been any movement? If you ignore the transmission talismans, the cave is sealed again by restrictions, I really have no choice! do you know? Tonight, the Taoism Conference is about to begin...
Shaking his head helplessly, Tian Zhenzi felt concerned and turned to his left. Seeing the familiar figure not far away, he squeezed out an ugly smile on his face and said in greeting: "Master Ziyu Sect's cultivation has improved again. It's gratifying to congratulate him, haha!"
Twenty feet away, Ziyu said in a cold voice, "It's really rare that a wild and untamable person can stay here safely for seven years!" On his left hand, dozens of feet away, was Liuxi Lake and Yanxin’s cave. The two of them were curious when they saw their master chatting with Tian Zhenzi, but they each pretended not to know.
"Haha! Times have changed, things have changed, how can I be the same Tian Zhenzi back then! But Ziyu is still Ziyu..." Tian Zhenzi's emotional words were full of flattery. Unexpectedly, the other party did not appreciate it and scolded coldly: "Don't mention the past!"
Tian Zhenzi smiled awkwardly and said: "It's okay not to mention the past! However, this Dao Discussion Conference has been postponed for five years, which is really surprising!"
Ziyu hummed: "What's the surprise? My colleagues from the Xian Sect can take advantage of the spiritual energy monks here. It should be regarded as a goodwill gesture from the Shenzhou Sect!",
Tian Zhenzi shook his head and said carefully: "What Ziyu said is absolutely true! Only when everyone has raised their spirits can we discuss Tao and fight! And you and I are both from Yushan Island, and we are single and weak. It’s good to help each other…”
"You are you and I am me, how can they be confused? And if you let Yan Xin kill your disciple, I will forgive you for your rudeness that day!" There was less coldness in Ziyu's words, but more. Make things difficult.
Tian Zhenzi looked embarrassed, murmured for a while, and then simply remained silent. Complaining secretly, you are you and he is him! Don’t you Ziyu understand who I am? I, Tian Zhenzi, never suffer losses, and I have clear grudges and grudges...
At this time, five lotus flowers suddenly floated from Shen'ao Peak and slowly descended on Ao Lake. In front of the cave gates surrounding the lake, two to three hundred monks were sitting cross-legged, all looking up.
Five white jade lotuses, one large, four small, flow with brilliance and reflect each other on the lake. Suddenly, five white lotuses bloomed on the mirror-like lake, which was quite magical! There were five people sitting on it, four monks in the late Nascent Soul stage and a middle-aged Confucian scholar with no apparent cultivation.
After a slight pause, four smaller lotus flowers suddenly flew to the surroundings of Ao Lake, hanging about ten feet away from the lake surface without falling. The slightly larger lotus platform was left in the distance. The middle-aged Confucian scholar waved his sleeves, and suddenly one person suddenly turned into four people, sitting in all directions. The facial features, expressions and clothes of these four people were exactly the same, making it difficult for the monks in the audience to distinguish between the real ones and the fake ones!
"On this mid-autumn night, I, Wen Xuanzi, convened a meeting of Xiazhou comrades in Aoshan..." The Confucian scholar is none other than Wen Xuanzi, the master of the Shenzhou Sect. The moment he opened his mouth, his soft words seemed to be blown up by a breeze, flying in all directions. Suddenly, many monks sitting in front of the cave were stunned. They all stared with bated breath, not daring to ignore it in the slightest.
"...The origin of the Tao Discussion Conference has been explained before! Therefore, I should explain the Tao discussion to everyone present! Haha..." The four Wen Xuanzi all looked like the same person. After letting out an easy-going chuckle, they then Fu Xu said: "The ancients said that seeing is invisible and hearing is silent. People who comment on it call it dark, so they talk about the Tao, not the Tao! Therefore..."
What Wen Xuanzi means is that the Tao is invisible and intangible, and the Tao that can be used to talk about is not actually the real Tao. He paused for a moment and then continued: "Therefore, the Tao cannot be heard, but it is not something to hear; the Tao cannot be seen, but it is not to see it; the Tao cannot be expressed, but it is not something to talk about... To understand its meaning and discern its straightness is of great importance in practice. It may be beneficial along the way!”
Since Tao is something invisible, intangible, and indescribable, how can we talk about Tao? This is the real benefit of convening a meeting. Let everyone understand this truth, and avoid going astray when practicing!
Wen Xuanzi said it easily, and the truth seems simple, but many people may not understand it thoroughly even in their lifetime! The ancients said that thousands of books are falsely transmitted, but one sentence is truly preached! As a senior incarnation of gods, he shared his own insights, which really benefited the Xiazhou monks present a lot!
The moonlight pours down, the white lotus dazzles, and Wen Xuanzi talks eloquently: "...morality has nothing to do with superiority and inferiority, but Tao generates laws, and laws are the ropes that lead to gains and losses. Those who understand the straight and straight can be seen in the world..."
Wen Xuanzi talked like this for three days and three nights. He explained and solved the confusion for everyone, and finally explained the purpose of the battle. It doesn’t matter if you don’t understand the mysteries of Tao. You might as well experience it yourself and understand the principles of all things in the world...
Three days later, Wen Xuanzi left the lotus platform, but the four Nascent Soul monks from the Shenzhou Sect stayed behind, with the intention of arbitration and law protection!
In this immortal sect battle, you only need to put the names and sects of the respective Nascent Soul monks into the jade slips, then put them together based on their different cultivation levels, and draw lots to determine the opponent!
When the monks from the Shenzhou Sect came looking for him, Tian Zhenzi gritted his teeth and handed over the two jade slips. One is naturally his own, and the other actually has Lin Yi's name printed on it, and it also has the initial cultivation level of Nascent Soul.
Boy, you haven't seen any movement so far, so I have to take a gamble! If the lottery really catches you, you will be unlucky! However, after handing over the jade slips used for drawing lots, his heart began to wander.
The fight is about to begin, and everyone is busy with their own affairs. For a while, Ziyu will not have a good face, and Tian Zhenzi has no intention of offending him. He simply stood guard in front of his house, staring eagerly at another cave not far away on his right, looking forward to the moment when the kid would break out of his cocoon!
