The Celestial Master's Mansion in Longhu Mountain is the leader in the world's righteousness. Li Muchen has been missing for more than a month. It is impossible for the contemporary Celestial Master Zhang Xikun in Hecheng not to know.
But Zhang Xikun had been kneeling in the collapsed Tianxing Temple and did not stand up in advance because Li Muchen was "dead".
This kneeling lasted for more than a month.
It was precisely because of this that Li Muchen came to Tianxing Temple as soon as he came back, instead of Wutong Residence or the Lin Family.
Li Muchen returned the Tianshi Sword, and their agreement was completed.
The Patriarch Hall in Tianxing Temple was also closed. Zhang Xikun bowed three times to the statue of the Patriarch before standing up.
He bowed to Li Muchen again and said: "Thanks to Mr. Li for waking me up this time, otherwise the Longhu Mountain lineage would probably be ruined in my hands. I was repaid by Mr. Li again, two great kindnesses. I really don't know how to repay him."
."
Li Muchen smiled and said: "The Master's words are serious, no one has any fault, after all, we have not become immortals yet. It is very rare that you can keep your Taoist heart and stay here for more than a month. To be honest, I originally just wanted to
It’s just a small punishment, only for three to five days. I didn’t expect that I would get into some trouble and almost die. Hahaha..."
He laughed as he spoke, "Master, aren't you afraid that I will really die? If I really die, will you kneel here for the rest of your life?"
Zhang Xikun also smiled and said: "The recent rumors about your death are crazy, but I don't believe that the messenger of heaven can die so easily. If it is true, then I can only kneel down until the ancestor appears."
He waved to Zhang Daoyuan, who was standing in the distance, and called him over. He pointed at the renovated Patriarch Hall, the ear room, and the surrounding courtyard wall and said, "Master Li, this guy built this brick by brick. I have seen it all with my own eyes."
Look, he’s definitely not lazy, do you think this kid is doing well?”
Zhang Daoyuan was in his fifties, but he didn't feel it was inappropriate at all to be called "boy". He lowered his head and waited expectantly for Li Muchen's comments.
Li Muchen glanced at him a few times and asked, "What do you think, Taoist Zhang?"
Zhang Daoyuan suddenly became nervous and didn't know how to answer for a moment, just like a primary school student who suddenly met the principal on campus.
Zhang Xikun glared at him and said, "Master Li is asking you a question. This is a great opportunity. If you have any questions, please speak up quickly."
Zhang Daoyuan suddenly understood that Li Muchen was not asking about his work, but about his cultivation.
He suddenly became excited and said: "My cultivation has been stagnant in the past few years. In the past few days, I have been moving bricks and bricks, and suddenly I have become enlightened and enlightened. The realm that I have been unable to break through for many years has suddenly broken through."
.Now that this is the case, I don’t know what to do next, so I’d like to ask Mr. Li and the Heavenly Master for guidance.”
Li Muchen had long seen that his cultivation level had reached a higher level, so he asked this question. At that time, he was helping him and giving him a chance by letting him rebuild the Tianxing Temple brick by brick.
Zhang Daoyuan's foundation is not bad, his understanding is not bad, and he is considered to be above average. However, in Hecheng, he has been sought after by wealthy people from aristocratic families all year round. He regards himself as a personal figure, floating in the void, and of course he cannot improve.
This time he was taught a lesson by Li Muchen, which was a serious fall. When he was asked to build a building, he was asked to be down-to-earth. Once he calmed down and got rid of the exaggeration in the past, the things he had accumulated over the past decades came out.
In addition, Zhang Xikun has been watching here, how can he not give some advice? With such an opportunity, it would be difficult not to break through.
Li Muchen said: "You are a disciple of Zhengyi. I don't have much to say, but I think you are doing a good job in building the building, so let's continue building it until the Tianxing Temple is completely built. If one person builds a temple, it will be a good story in the future."
Zhang Xikun said: "Why don't you thank Mr. Li quickly?"
Zhang Daoyuan also tasted the taste and knew that Li Muchen's understatement actually had a profound meaning, so he thanked him and said: "Thank you Mr. Li for your advice, Zhang is grateful!"
Li Muchen waved his hand, told him not to be polite, and then talked to Zhang Xikun.
Zhang Daoyuan obediently went to move bricks again.
Li Muchen asked Zhang Xikun: "Has the Heavenly Master ever heard of Hu Yuntian?"
Zhang Xikun was stunned for a moment, seemed a little surprised, and said: "Of course I know, why did the young master ask about this person?"
"Oh, I bought a house in Hecheng."
Li Muchen discovered that Hu Yuntian's body was found in the well of Wutongju, and that there was a suspected seal from the Tianshi Mansion at the wellhead.
He only talked about Hu Yuntian, not the Li family in the capital, or Hu Yuntian's treatment for Gong Lingyan.
Zhang Xikun touched his beard under his chin and said thoughtfully: "Well, there are some twists and turns in this matter, and I'm not particularly clear about the inside story. But the seal should be from the Tianshi Mansion, so there can be no mistake."
"Since the Heavenly Master knows that it is from the Heavenly Master's Mansion, he must also know which Taoist priest did it. Why not ask?" Li Muchen said.
Zhang Xikun was a little confused: "Young Master Li is an envoy from the Celestial Capital. I want to ask you, so I should call him here no matter what. But... this person is my uncle, the previous Celestial Master Zhang Yunpu, who came twenty years ago."
He suddenly announced that he would pass on the title of Heavenly Master to me, and then he went into seclusion and has not come out to this day."
"What?"
Li Muchen was startled and remembered that Wang Chongxian, the master of Baiyun Temple, also suddenly retreated into seclusion and has not come out yet, leaving behind a poem.
"Does the Heavenly Master know why he is in retreat? What happened before the retreat?"
Zhang Xikun shook his head and said: "I don't know why he suddenly retreated. As for the retreat, some things did happen. For example, Hu Yuntian, as far as I know, he was the head of the Hu family in Qiantang. Later, he abandoned his family and went north.
He treated a demon and was despised by the righteous people. Uncle Yunpu had an old relationship with him and said he wanted to dissuade him. After leaving the mountain for several months, he came back and went into seclusion. Since then, I have not heard from him again.
There’s no news about Hu Yuntian.”
"Oh, by the way -" Zhang Xikun added, "Almost at the same time as Uncle Yunpu, those who were in retreat were Wang Chongxian from Baiyun Temple in Beijing; Lu Yunlong from Wudang; Lin Tiefeng from Shenxiao Sect; and Su Yunxian from Emei.
."
"so much?"
Li Muchen looked up at the sky. It seemed that this matter involved a lot!
"Zhang Tianshi, if Tianshi Yunpu comes out of seclusion, please tell me. I want to pay him a visit."
Li Muchen knew that he could not know more from Zhang Xikun, so he could only wait for those few to come out of isolation. Now it seemed that the most promising one was Wang Chongxian of Baiyun Temple. He left a verse. As long as he unraveled the verse,
If he drinks it up on the spot, he will come out of seclusion.
Baiyun Temple is in the capital, and Wang Chongxian should know more about it than others.
Looks like I need to go back and study that poem carefully.
After asking about personal matters, Li Muchen told the story about the Sun Holy Sect uniting with overseas sects to harm China, and asked Zhang Xikun to issue an order from the Heavenly Master to alert all Taoist sects in the world.
When Zhang Xikun heard that Jin Sanmu of Baiyun Temple had personally taken people overseas, he said: "Since Taoist Master Jin has gone, how can we, Longhu Mountain, fall behind? Shouting, you immediately take people to Los Angeles to support Zhongfu Temple. Yangyang
How can China allow people who believe in Taoism overseas to be humiliated?"
Chen Shouting agreed and went to make preparations.
