In Dou Sui's world, the middle-aged Taoist priest was sitting cross-legged on the pagoda. Suddenly, his expression changed, he laughed, and he closed his eyes.
When he opened his eyes again, he was already standing in a cloud. He picked up the tail and pushed it away with a gentle wave. Then he saw a young Taoist coming on the Dharma. He laughed and took the initiative.
He bowed and said: "Friend Daoist Zhang, I have been waiting for you here for a long time."
Zhang Yu glanced at him and also bowed.
After clarifying the Taoist's salute, he took a step back, turned sideways and made a gesture of invitation, saying: "Fellow Taoist Zhang, please." Following his move, a tall pagoda appeared behind him.
Zhang Yu looked up, waved his sleeves slightly, and walked up with him. He saw that the altar was roughly divided into three levels, with many vacancies on it. The higher you went up, the fewer vacancies there were.
This is the place where the gods are. Except for the Master and others like him, no one will appear here. It should be normal for no one to sit here, but he feels that there should be someone sitting on it.
Someone's.
The middle-aged Taoist smiled slightly. In the land of spiritual emptiness, any change in the principles can occur, but if it is not based on the foundation of his own Taoism, then it will be a castle in the air or a tower in the sand, which will fall down as soon as it is pushed.
And what he is demonstrating at this moment is the wonder of his own Taoism.
He had managed to get the spiritual reflection from Taoist Luo before, and he had the ability to avoid Zhang Yu's execution. During this period, he had observed Zhang Yu's methods several times, so he had a head start here. But because of his Taoist skills, if he could defeat Zhang Yu with this
, which will lead to less than perfect final harvest.
In order to solve this problem, he also needs to show his own way.
But he would not take the initiative to say it. He just put it in front of Zhang Yu. If Zhang Yu could understand it, he would understand it. If Zhang Yu didn't understand it, it was his own fault. It had nothing to do with him and would not be in his way.
His way is right.
The two of them reached the top of the stage in a moment. Originally, there was only room for one person, but Taoist Chan Ming waved his tail again, and two futons appeared here. He said "please" again and sat down on it.
.
After explaining that the Taoist sat down, he smiled and said: "I, Yuan Xia, fought against Tian Xia. Now Yuan Xia has suffered a great loss. The heavenly secret has been messed up, and the order of heaven has also been exposed. Daoyou Zhang is Tianxia Tingzhi.
Thinking about it, you think Tianxia will win this battle?"
Zhang Yu said calmly: "I don't think it's important, but I will do it."
The Taoist who explained it smiled again and said: "Zhang Tingzhi must think that Pindao is on the side of Yuan Xia?" He waved his hand and said in a gentle voice: "Actually, who wins and who loses is up to me.
It doesn’t matter in my eyes, because whether it’s the way of Tianxia or the way of Yuanxia, it’s not my way.”
Zhang Yu raised his head slightly, looked at him and said: "I only ask about my own way, not the way of Yuan Xia, so how can I eliminate the burden of the past?"
If a monk is determined to reach higher realms, he must pass a test. If those monks from outside the world originally took refuge in Yuan Xia for various reasons, some of them were forced to do so. Once they see hope,
They can rebel without any scruples. But it is not so easy for those monks who were born in Yuanxia to completely get rid of these things.
Of course, if the person in front of you doesn't care at all, or even has enough magic power, then it doesn't matter, because responsibility depends on both the destiny and one's own heart, which belongs to both internal and external aspects.
Especially for internal practitioners, generally those who can discern the inheritance of enlightened masters and practice orthodox Taoism will not be able to get rid of the burden so easily, because these are gradually accumulated during your cultivation and cannot be eliminated in one go. Unless
If you are no longer the original person, then you don’t need to keep your original responsibilities, but it is impossible to uphold the way of the past.
When Taoist Chan Ming heard his question, he caressed his beard and said: "If I seek to reach a higher state, if I am not relieved of such a huge burden, I will be dragged into trouble by heaven's will, but this is not unavoidable."
He pointed to the outside, and the thirty-three worlds of Tao were instantly illuminated in the clouds and mist, as well as all the longitudes and latitudes of the void, and he said: "Under the order of Yuan and Xia Dynasty, how can the heavenly secrets hinder me? I have no way of invading my body."
It's just that this move was too much, and the order of heaven also blocked all changes, so that when we were blocked by this, we were also trapped here, just like the palace blocked the way out. If people are inside, they can only
Slowly decaying.
But right now, it is just right. Tianxia opens the passage between the two realms, shaking Yuan Xia Xue, but making most of the secrets of heaven still blocked by Tianxu. It is equivalent to opening a portal above the palace, so that we can both have
With the protection of Tianxu and not having to worry too much, how can we miss this opportunity?"
Zhang Yu said at this time: "During this battle, I also saw that you hold such thoughts, and you don't seem to respect anyone. It seems that not everyone in your party is looking forward to the end."
Taoist Chan Ming made a sound and said: "The ultimate path is the way of all the great powers, so how can we be accommodated? But if we really have the opportunity to go to the upper realm, you all might not mind sharing some of it with me.
.”
This is very straightforward, but it also makes sense. The Tao of Yuan Xia is originally from top to bottom, so it will not look after the bottom. If you are above, no matter what Tao you are, as long as you are in it, even if you do not contribute
, are all likely to be shared.
Zhang Yu thought in his heart that some people in Yuanxia should have this idea. The reason why today's battle is like this is that many upper-level officials in Yuanxia are dissatisfied with this situation.
Maybe some people would think, what would such a powerful person think?
But in fact, as his practice improves and his vision broadens, he can also understand this.
No matter how things change or what ideas arise, they are all part of the Taoist law's self-evolution. Even if Yuan Xia really loses to Tianxia, it will only be a failure in the verification of the Taoist law.
Just like those worldly things that were eradicated in the Yuan Xia in the past, some of the worldly ways are also full of great powers from above, but they have never appeared or helped the lower classes. It is precisely because of this reason.
Therefore, he was also thinking that if Tian Xia reached a critical stage, maybe in addition to Zhuang Zhishe, several Zheshe would not come forward, but Zhuang Zhishe alone would not be able to change anything.
So what will actually reach these upper levels?
He thought that when the cultivators below tried to reach the upper level, or had the ability to truly reach the upper level, these powerful people might be able to intervene. At least this was the case on the Yuan Xia side.
He looked at Taoist Chan Ming. He didn't say how he avoided this, but he probably had his own way.
At this time, Taoist Chan Ming felt that what needed to be said had already been said. How much of his Tao could be known to Zhang Yu was not within his scope of concern. After all, he should really be above Taoism.
It's a showdown.
Therefore, he said: "Fellow Daoist Zhang, although we can discuss the Tao when we meet in a state of emptiness, we are in Yuanxia and Tianxia, so I am afraid we can't tell the difference.
I know that you, my friend, have the ability to kill Zhengshen through Qi, but I am a poor Taoist who boasts that he also has some means. Although it is difficult to resist the sword of fellow Taoist, it is not difficult to evade it. Besides, with the abilities of you and me, if we don’t use Zhengshen,
It may not be possible to bring Taoism to its fullest, so I have a suggestion."
Zhang Yudao: "Your Majesty, you might as well speak frankly."
Taoist Chan Ming smiled and said: "My Taoist friends and I might as well make an oath here. We won't use any treasures this time. You and I will each show our own methods in this divine void. The battle between the divine reflections here will...
That’s the end.”
Zhang Yu thought about it and explained the meaning of the name, which is to use the battle between gods and emptiness to determine the outcome, so that it will not be endless because of the mutual support of yin and yang, the mutual creation of emptiness and reality.
And with their state of mind, fighting in the void of gods is completely the same as the real body, and they can reflect all their own abilities.
It's just that the person opposite him is obviously good at fighting gods, so doing this is undoubtedly beneficial to him. But in fact, true fairness does not exist. If he refuses this time, then the responsibility for the killing will have to be taken from him.
If we start elsewhere, it may take more than ten years, or it may take tens or hundreds of years, or even longer.
And with the Seal of the Great Dao, he felt that his opportunity to cross over was very close. If he missed it, it would most likely increase many variables. But it would be fine as it is now, so he said: "Yes."
Seeing that he agreed, Taoist Chan Ming made an oath first. Zhang Yu also swore here. This is not an ordinary oath, but an oath based on his own fundamental way, without any cover. If there is any violation, he will be punished.
If one's own strength is swallowed up, the Tao will disappear and the spirit will be destroyed.
Zhang Yu slowly stood up from his seat. He looked at Taoist Chan Ming and said calmly: "The way of Yuanxia is not your way, but the way of Tianxia is my way. This is
This is the difference between me and your master, and it is also the difference between Tianxia and Yuanxia."
He waved his sleeves, and with a clang, the sword was unsheathed and fell into his hand, saying: "Elucidate the truth, I will learn from you here."
Taoist Chan Ming also stood up, held on to the tail of the squid, and said with a serious face: "I am a poor Taoist, Chan Ming. Now I am here to discuss Taoism with fellow Taoist Zhang."
After saying this, there was a rumbling sound under the feet, but the clouds and mist above the altar parted, supporting the two people to move to both sides, and only stopped after reaching a certain distance.
At the same time, aura of light rose up from both of their bodies. Zhang Yu's body was surrounded by a mighty clear energy that filled the sky, while Taoist Chanming's body was surrounded by a purplish aura that reflected the clouds and mist.
Purple light.
After Zhang Yu confronted him for a moment, his mind changed, and the clear light behind him suddenly pressed forward. However, Taoist Chan Ming did not retreat even half a step, and the virtual purple energy on his body moved forward to meet them. They came into contact in the middle, and they dispersed and disintegrated.
, they were at loggerheads for a while.
Zhang Yu's expression did not change, he was still standing there, but a sword light was already slashing towards the front. Although this was just a test, the method of killing all enemies was naturally used.
Seeing this, Taoist Master Shanming smiled and said, "Slow down." He reached out and took out a small flag with a brilliant light. He just waved it lightly and calmly blocked the killing.
