The six Taoists, the strongest in the middle stage of Guiyuan Realm and the weakest in the late stage of Martial Realm, were all thrown out of the restaurant one by one by the young man. The young man didn't use any powerful magical powers at all, that's all.
Ben reached out to grab the other person, and then threw him out. The key is that these people seemed to be frozen, and there was no resistance at all.
After Li Mingyue threw all these Taoists out, she turned around and walked towards Master Wuzhi and his disciples. Then she sat down like a normal person and said with a smile: "Nowadays, the food for monks is so good? I wonder if your sect will still accept disciples?"
?」
The old monk chuckled and said, "Master Li Xian, don't make fun of us masters and disciples. This is the savings that the poor monk has accumulated all his life. After eating this meal, I don't know how he will live in the future."
As he said this, he did not forget to give Monk Wu Zhi a wink. Bu Zhi took the hint and nodded hurriedly: "Yes, yes, yes." Xin
Li Mingyue smiled and said: "Don't worry, I won't ask you for the money for the last meal. It's just a meal. I don't need to worry about it. But you have to pay for today's meal."
Wu Zhi could only look at his master and wink at his master as well.
At this time, the Taoists outside finally regained their breath. After getting up from the ground, they saw so many people around them looking at them. They suddenly felt that they lost all face. Then they shouted loudly to the restaurant: "Boy, you have the guts."
Just wait."
After saying that, he ran away, apparently going back to complain to his elders.
In the restaurant, the master and apprentice had three drinks with Li Mingyue, and they started talking more.
After all, Li Mingyue was a fellow practitioner of the Three Religions, and she had something to talk about with these monks. During the dinner, the old monk kept winking at his disciples, and finally, unwisely, he had to bite the bullet and reveal their purpose.
After listening to this, Li Mingyue was really surprised, because according to the monk Wu Zhi, the reason why they came here to drink and eat meat was because they knew that Li Mingyue would pass by here, and the reason why they were willing to spend all their money to continue having a meal was
Okay, I just want to repay Li Mingyue for inviting the unwise monk to dinner last time...
Everything he said was so reasonable and well-founded that it was difficult for Li Mingyue not to believe it.
Then Wu Zhi changed his style and mentioned the diamond sword on Li Mingyue. Only then did Li Mingyue realize that inviting him to dinner and so on were all fake, and the real purpose was for the sword.
Now, after all, Li Mingyue is practicing the Mirror of Reincarnation, so it can be seen that the old monk's level is not low, on par with him. Bu Zhi is also at the peak of the Little Grandmaster, and it is only a matter of time before he becomes the Great Grandmaster. Similarly, Li Mingyue can also see that
The Diamond Sword is related to the inheritance of Buddhism, which is why Li Mingyue decided to give this sword to Lingtai Mountain. After all, Lingtai Mountain is a holy land of Buddhism and best matches the inheritance of the Diamond Sword.
But now that the master and apprentice came out halfway, Li Mingyue was in a bit of a dilemma for a while.
Li Mingyue could see that the master and the apprentice were indeed authentic Buddhists. Giving the diamond sword to them was regarded as returning it to Buddhism. As for the disputes between Buddhism and Buddhism, Li Mingyue didn't know and didn't care. But if she did this
, will Lingtai Mountain have any ideas? This is a question that Li Mingyue needs to consider.
The old monk seemed to know what Li Mingyue was thinking, and said with a smile: "Master Li Xian doesn't have to worry about Lingtai Mountain. The inheritance of Lingtai Mountain all belongs to that Buddhist disciple, but this diamond sword is of no use to him. Instead, it belongs to Confucianism."
Only the Heaven-Suppressing Ruler can help him. Although our sect has withered away, with only two masters and apprentices left, we are from the same lineage as Lingtai Mountain, and both shoulder the heavy responsibility of Buddhist inheritance. Even if Master Li Xian takes this sword
If you send it to Lingtai Mountain, it will eventually return to the hands of my disciple."
Li Mingyue looked at the old monk and felt that what the old monk said was not a lie. Moreover, Li Mingyue could see some clues about this inheritance. This was why he invited this unwise monk to dinner in the first place.
, some kind of wonderful fate destined in the dark.
The old monk continued: "Monks do not tell lies. Although we do not abstain from eating meat, we will never dare to deceive Master Li Xian."
Li Mingyue nodded and said: "I believe Master. In this case, I don't need to go to Lingtai Mountain anymore. It's just that this diamond sword is of great importance. Master has to explain it to the Buddhists. I don't want anyone to come to me for it later."
The old monk smiled and said: "This
It's natural that if the diamond sword reaches the poor monk's lineage, within half a month, Buddhists all over the world will know about it."
Li Mingyue stopped talking and took out the diamond sword directly, cutting off all connections between the diamond sword and herself.
Li Mingyue is actually a little reluctant to part with it. After all, this sword has been with him for so long and he has used it for so long. Now that he suddenly wants to take it out, he is even more reluctant to part with it than when he took out the Haoran Sword.
Wu Zhi did not answer, which made Li Mingyue frown.
The old monk explained: "The diamond sword is the most precious treasure of Buddhism and cannot be handed over like this."
Li Mingyue frowned and said, "Is it possible that we still need to fast and take a bath or something?"
The old monk actually nodded and said, "That's true."
Li Mingyue felt bitter in her heart. It was just a sword. How could it be so troublesome? She had kept it with her for so long, and she had always put it away casually. She never saw that the sword had any objection to her. On the contrary, it became more and more in tune with her. She really wanted to give it to her.
Get up, I'm afraid it's not that easy when it comes to driving.
But after all, this is Buddhism's own business and has its own rules. Li Mingyue doesn't want to point fingers at will. Although this will delay a few days, compared with taking a detour to Lingtai Mountain, a few days is nothing, let alone
After arriving at Lingtai Mountain, it is hard to say that Lingtai Mountain is more solemn than this.
Confucianism is better, not so particular. Although it was not Li Mingyue himself who returned the Haoran Sword, but Jianghu helped to do it for him, but from meeting the Confucian quasi-sage later, it can be seen that Confucianism may also attach importance to the Haoran Sword.
But it's not to this extent, otherwise it wouldn't be used casually.
As for whether this will be the case when returning the Taoist sword in the future, Li Mingyue doesn't care much now. His grudges with the Taoist family have not been completely resolved, and he has not found anyone who can take over the Sanqing Sword on behalf of the Taoist family.
At first, Li Mingyue thought that the head disciple of Qingxi Taoist Sect was pretty good. She originally wanted to hand the Sanqing Sword into his hands and let him pass on the Taoism. However, as his realm got higher and higher, Li Mingyue discovered that this was not the case at all. At least
It's not that you just hand it over to whomever you like, but that the other party must be able to withstand the sword. Although the head disciple of Qingxi Taoist Sect is good, he cannot withstand the entire Taoist inheritance.
Later, when she met Xuanzhen Xiaodao, Li Mingyue thought that he might be able to do it. However, along the way, Li Mingyue always felt that there was something wrong with him. Maybe Xuanzhen Xiaodao was not a Taoist inheritor, or maybe the time had not come yet, so he could only use this sword first.
Take it with you.
Regarding inheritance, this mysterious and mysterious thing, although Li Mingyue cannot explain it clearly now, he can feel it. Therefore, returning these three swords is really not an easy task. It has even become a responsibility and a task for Li Mingyue.
Confucian swords are okay. After all, although Confucianism also has rules, they don't attach as much importance to them as Taoists and Buddhists. That's why it is said that Confucianism pays most attention to rules and least pays attention to them.
On the Confucian side, among the people Li Mingyue knows, there are three people who can withstand the Haoran Sword. One is Huang Qinghan, who has received the inheritance of Wen Sheng, and the other is Wu Ziqi, who is destined to carry the entire Confucianism in the future, and then there is that
Mencius, a quasi-sage of Confucianism.
If the Haoran Sword is given to any of these three people, the task can be completed without any trouble. The reason why Meng Zisheng was chosen was not because Li Mingyue felt that Meng Zisheng would be more receptive to the sword, but because at that time, Li Mingyue
In fact, his understanding of these three swords was not as deep as it is now. He only knew that he was destined to return these three swords to the three families respectively. This was his responsibility to practice the three teachings. It happened that Mencius was born in the Jinyang Empire at that time to resist
The demons needed strength, so Li Mingyue taught the Haoran Sword to the quasi-sage.
Therefore, returning the Haoran Sword was actually a mistake. The right time, place, and people were all taken advantage of. It also completed the return of the Haoran Sword and reached a satisfactory takeover with Confucianism.
But when it comes to the Diamond Sword, it's a bit troublesome to return it. Not only do we need to find Buddhist disciples who can withstand the Diamond Sword, but we also need to find someone who can represent the entire Buddhism and reach a kind of reconciliation with Li Mingyue. This requires this person to have a certain degree in Buddhism.
Its status can represent the entire Buddhism to a certain extent, which is why Li Mingyue chose Lingtai Mountain.
The Buddhist disciple of Lingtai Mountain must be able to bear it, and Lingtai Mountain, as a holy land of Buddhism, is the most important place for people in this area.
The world of the world best represents the existence of Buddhism. If they take over the diamond sword, they can end their involvement with Buddhism.
Now the two masters and disciples, Monk Wu Zhi, can indeed withstand the diamond sword and can represent the inheritance of Buddhism. Li Mingyue can feel this. But to say that these two masters and disciples can represent the entire Buddhism, but she is involved with Buddhism.
Li Mingyue was somewhat skeptical.
But when Li Mingyue saw Monk Wu Zhi, she felt that this monk was not an ordinary person, and his master was even more extraordinary. Now that he saw it, it was indeed the case. Li Mingyue even had a feeling that she would give this diamond sword to Monk Wu Zhi.
It might even be better than leaving it to Lingtai Mountain.
Other than that, it's actually just a bit of dispensable selfishness.
Whether Lingtai Mountain is good or not, whether it is strong or not, ultimately lies far away in the Song Dynasty. From now on, Buddhism will develop and flourish, and the Song Dynasty will also benefit. However, if Unwise can carry forward Buddhism and become the leader in Buddhism, it will also be a disaster for the Tang Dynasty.
Not a small good thing.
Therefore, Li Mingyue agreed to the master and apprentice and handed over the diamond sword to them. Even with his own little selfishness, he also obeyed his own feelings.
Besides, although there are only two masters and apprentices, this kind of thing is not a matter of many people and few people. Just like Qingyuan Mountain, there is only one master and two apprentices from the beginning to the end. It is different overnight.
Travel across the country and become a veritable sect of the Immortal Sect?
Although there is no orthodox inheritance in Qingyuan Mountain today, have there been fewer sects coming to rely on it? The inheritance of those sects is countless springs, summers, autumns and winters away from Qingyuan Mountain.
In other words, the task of returning the Diamond Sword is considered to be over, and his involvement with Buddhism has been settled. No matter what changes will happen to Buddhism in the future, it will not involve him. It is a complete end.
.
But the remaining Sanqing Sword is even more troublesome.
First of all, Li Mingyue has a lot of grievances with Taoism, and he had a lot of prejudice against Taoism before, and he was able to let go of it not long ago. However, this view has also affected the subtle connection between Li Mingyue and Taoism, making it somewhat ambiguous and vague.
Qing, when Li Mingyue looked at Taoism, whether he was looking for someone who could withstand the Three Purities Sword or someone who could resolve his involvement with Taoism, he couldn't see it clearly, as if there was something blocking it and had to be eliminated.
Only after this thing is removed can we see things clearly.
Of course, this is not a big deal to Li Mingyue. After all, he is not anxious about this matter, it is Taoism that is anxious.
Now that Taoism is being suppressed, it needs a figure who can stabilize the situation and lead Taoism to ensure that the inheritance of Taoism is immortal. Taoism will make the decision on who to choose, and Li Mingyue does not need to worry about it.
And Li Mingyue is not worried about what Taoists will do in this matter. Although this kind of involvement is not without impact on Li Mingyue, the impact is not big. After all, the involvement between Confucianism and Buddhism has been ended, and there is only one Taoist left, that is, one against two.
, the odds of winning are really slim.
If the people selected by the Taoist school do not deal with him, Li Mingyue can refuse to hand over the Sanqing sword, which represents the entire Taoist inheritance. He can even find a Taoist disciple to throw the sword out, although he will be affected by it.
, but Taoism as a whole will definitely suffer a heavier blow.
In other words, the Taoists are actually more anxious now than Li Mingyu, and they need to find a character who can not only withstand the Sanqing Sword, but also be involved with Li Mingyue. Both are indispensable, otherwise it will only be the Taoists who will suffer.
.
Of course, the premise is that Li Mingyue can settle Confucianism and Buddhism first, otherwise Li Mingyue will be really hard to resist with a three-pronged approach.
In addition, everything will become completely clear after he goes to Jingyuan Sect and Jiuyi Mountain to completely resolve his grudges with the Taoists. Therefore, the Sanqing Sword must be returned after these two matters are resolved.
Of course, it cannot be like Zhenwu Mountain, but a better solution, either a reconciliation where both parties have no objections, or like the Jingyuan Sect and Qiyun Mountain, which are directly destroyed.
In the past, Li Mingyue thought that these things were only his own business, but now he realizes that it is not only his own business, but also Taoism's business. This is a disaster that Taoism must go through in the development process, and some people can
To protect yourself from this disaster is better than
For example, Zhenwu Mountain, although it has paid a price, is indeed much smaller in comparison.
The one from the Jingyuan Sect obviously understands this matter better than the other sects. It is precisely for this reason that the Jingyuan Sect has hardly taken any action against him in the past few years. In addition, among the major ancestral families of Taoism,
The Jingyuan Sect has never participated in jointly dealing with themselves. This is probably the main reason.
But one thing is certain, the Taoist leader of the Jingyuan Sect is not just trying to protect himself. As for what it is, I am afraid that you will only understand it after you come to the Jingyuan Sect and really come into contact with the Taoist leader.
