Lian Zhuo chatted with Zhang Yu for a while, looked at Xu Chengtong who was standing behind him, and said, "I wonder what I call this fellow Taoist?"
Zhang Yudao: "This is Fellow Daoist Xu."
Xu Chengtong slapped him, but didn't say a word.
Lian Zhuozhi was polite and didn't ask any questions.
He also heard that Zhang Yu's true identity was Xuanting's patrolman, and guessed that Xu Chengtong should also be from Xuanting.
However, he still called Zhang Yu a Taoist friend because of the past interactions between the two. Such a title did not mean any disrespect, but rather seemed indifferent.
Zhang Yudao: "I've been staying at the Shenshe Palace for the past few days, but I haven't seen any Taoist friends."
Lian Zhuo smiled and said: "I have met some fellow Taoists here, and I have been staying at their residence in the past few days. It's no wonder that the fellow Taoists have not seen them."
Zhang Yu seemed to have thought of something and said: "How many fellow Taoists are there like you?"
Lian Zhuo said: "There are quite a few. The daily cost of staying in a palace is quite a lot. If you are not working in the government office, you would rather live outside. After all, the medicine powder we use for daily practice, and what are the other uses?"
The pills to ward off evil spirits outside the void are a huge expense."
Zhang Yu looked outside and saw light coming from time to time, but after it fell, he didn't recognize most of the people who came out.
At this time, Lian Zhuo said with a hint of expectation: "Have you heard about it, fellow Taoist? This Shen Xuanzun used to preach that if he thought someone was destined for the Dharma, he would directly give him a Dharma seal. It is said that these seals contain hidden treasures.
There is a way to enter the higher realm."
Zhang Yu had never heard of it before, and he was slightly moved and asked: "Is this happening?"
Lian Zhuo said: "I also heard about it from a senior brother. He came here to listen to the sermon a few years ago and got the chance to do it."
Zhang Yu couldn't help but become a little interested, and said: "Has that fellow Taoist brother ever learned anything from this?"
Lian Zhuo shook his head with a smile and said: "People who have obtained the fate usually cover it up in every possible way because they are afraid that the fate will be taken away by others, because once the fate comes out, it has nothing to do with him. If he cannot protect it, then he has no chance.
.My senior brother is self-aware, so he managed to let it go as soon as he got this 'destiny'."
Zhang Yu thought about the previous invitations and nodded. He said: "Fellow Taoist, this senior brother can understand his true heart and not be obsessed. He can be regarded as a Taoist."
He was sincerely complimenting his words. If you come to listen to the sermon, you have the intention to reach the higher state. Who doesn’t cling to the chance to get it? Even if you can’t get it, you definitely don’t want others to get it, but this guy is able to give up.
This kind of willingness alone is not something that ordinary Taoists can have.
As long as the person's own foundation is not too weak, even if there is no predestined relationship, he will be able to achieve everything.
Lian Zhuo thought for a while and said: "I originally felt sorry for this senior brother, but after hearing what my fellow Taoist said, I felt that he did the right thing." He sighed: "Just imagine myself, if I get the fate,
That’s something I absolutely can’t bear to part with.”
With these few words, as the light from outside continued to arrive, the more than a hundred stone seats were gradually filled with monks. However, the altar was divided into four directions, and they only had one side here, so you could still see them from time to time in other directions.
Someone fell.
After waiting for another half moment, the light stopped and no one came, and then a long chime sound was heard coming down from the top of the altar.
Everyone suddenly felt as if all the sounds had gone away from them and everything had calmed down.
At this time, it had just passed the human stage, and the earth and stars were originally silent in darkness. However, at this moment, a clear light lit up, and the sky and the earth were as bright as day.
The vegetation and creatures in the city seemed to have suddenly come to life, glowing with all kinds of vitality, and bursts of strange fragrance floated in, making people feel intoxicated by the smell.
After being immersed in this artistic conception for a moment, I saw a red-gold light falling from the top of the Celestial City, and in a moment it fell to the Dharma platform. I could see that there was a Taoist figure covered in brilliance, but the light was erratic and I couldn't see the specific figure.
Look.
At this moment, a Taoist boy's voice came down from above: "Xuanzun has arrived, and all the cultivators are here to greet you."
Upon hearing this, all the cultivators bowed solemnly to the stage.
At this time, the sound of the chime bell was heard again, and all the practitioners stopped bowing, sat down on the pedestal, and waited attentively.
After a short period of silence, a mellow and melodious voice came down from the altar. In an instant, it turned into a loud sound and spread from near to far.
Everyone suddenly became energetic, knowing that it was Master Xuan who was beginning to teach the Dharma. But as soon as they heard this voice, everyone present felt that the place where they were, including themselves, seemed to be pulled away from the world in an instant.
He went out and became an isolated existence.
When Zhang Yu listened to that voice, he felt that he could hear more things from it than when he heard Yu Xuanzun's sermon a year ago. At the same time, he also knew that he should not be greedy for too much, otherwise the end of what he heard would be chaos.
Nothing can be gained.
With his mind set, he focused on obtaining the method to reach the higher state. In just a moment, the voice became much clearer.
As his mind gradually immersed himself in it, he felt like a lonely boat on the sea, surrounded by huge waves, while the Taoist in the golden light was walking on the sea, walking in the distance.
The waves surged sometimes and sank sometimes, and the figure of the man always had his back to him, looming in the waves.
Zhang Yu knew that this was because he was infected by the sound and his inner senses were shaken, so he saw such scenes. Because Xuanzun's level was too high, what he said could only be conveyed to them in this way.
At this time, he saw that the Taoist seemed to turn sideways, and then stretched out his hand, and a group of jade lotuses emitting light appeared under his feet, drifting down the waves, and came towards him.
As soon as the object came in front of him, he suddenly heard the sound of a chime, and all the surrounding sounds and scenery seemed to fade away and gradually fade away.
He raised his head and saw that he was still sitting on the stone platform, with the sun hanging high above him. He looked close to the corner, but at some point, the Taoist figure was no longer on the altar.
But at this time, when his eyes fell, he suddenly saw a jade lotus flower falling in front of him. It was when he was listening to the sermon that he saw that thing!
He suddenly realized that this might be the "condition", so he reached out and picked it up.
"Fellow Taoist?" Lian Zhuo's voice fell into his ears.
Zhang Yu turned around and saw Lian Zhuo looking at the jade lotus in front of him in surprise and envy, and at the same time there was a hint of warning in his eyes.
He glanced around and saw that the monks on both sides had also seen this scene.
The cultivators looked over with envy and disappointment in their eyes, and some had a little malice and greed hidden in their eyes.
Xu Chengtong looked at everyone coldly. Most of the cultivators were a little embarrassed and gave him a courtesy, while some people were forced to avoid looking at him because of his profound practice. But
There are also a few people who rely on their own cultivation to look forward to it without any hesitation.
Zhang Yu didn't seem to care about everyone's gaze. He picked up the jade lotus flower calmly and put it into his sleeve. Then he stood up and said to Lian Zhuo: "Fellow Taoist, you want to go back with me."
What?"
Lian Zhuo knew what he meant. The conversation between the two of them just now was watched by everyone. Maybe those who were seeking fate would do something unfavorable to him. Zhang Yu was looking after him.
He thought for a while and solemnly replied: "Thank you so much, fellow Taoist, Lian can take good care of himself."
Zhang Yu nodded, raised his hand and saluted, then he and Xu Chengtong stood up in the light, and within a few breaths, they returned to the Palace of Divine Pardon.
He stepped into the inner room, casually arranged a simple warning array with jade chips, sat down on the futon, picked up the jade lotus, and then tried to feel it.
Just when he entered with his mind, he discovered that there was a solid barrier above, but his strength was not enough to break through it.
But he can also feel that this obstructive force is constantly declining. If this continues, even if he doesn't move, after a while, he will still be able to see what's inside.
His eyes flashed slightly, Xuan Zun's use could not be without purpose. This might be the time left for the "destined people" to fight for it, so this thing was only temporarily kept with him for safekeeping. He could only keep it until the end.
That is true destiny.
As the practice of gongxing and Taoism progressed, he could faintly feel that Xuanzun did this not without intention, but with a vague intention of turning heaven's numbers into human destiny.
He thought for a while, no matter what, since this thing was in his hands, there was no reason to give it away easily, and he also wanted to see what Shen Xuanzun's method of reaching the upper realm looked like.
He made some calculations and found that it would take at least two days to break through the barrier, so he didn't force it. He put the object away and walked out of the inner room slowly.
He stood on the observation platform, looking at the Kuisu Earth Star below, and then at the Tiancheng above. However, he felt something in his heart, and asked Qing Shu to take out the painting tools he carried with him. After setting them up,
He shook out the sleeves of his robe, took up his pen, and began to carefully describe the scenery in front of him.
After a long time passed, Qing Shu came to report: "Sir, Mr. Lian is here to visit."
Zhang Yu put down his pen, took two steps back, looked away from the painting, and then said: "Please come in, fellow Daoist Lian."
After a while, Lian Zhuo walked in, but his expression was very serious. After he saw Zhang Yu, he cupped his hands and said: "Zhang Daoyou, Lian just tried to inquire outside. This time, the person who got the opportunity is Ming."
There are only two people in front of us, and Taoist friend is one of them. Taoist friend must be careful on his way home."
Zhang Yu was thoughtful and said: "So, there are also people who have obtained the fate and are not known by others?"
Lian Zhuo said: "There are indeed such rumors, but Lian is not sure."
Zhang Yudao: "Thank you, fellow Taoist, for informing me. Since you are here, why don't you stay and have a cup of tea?"
Lian Zhuo cupped his hands again and said, "You're welcome, fellow Taoist, Lian still has something to do, so I'll leave first."
Zhang Yu nodded and said, "I'll give it to you as a gift, fellow Taoist."
He sent Lian Zhuo out of the palace gate, and then came back. At this time, Qing Shu came up and said, "Sir, are we going back now?"
Zhang Yu, however, was very calm and said: "There's no rush, I have to wait for one more person. It's not too late to come back in two days."
