Although Li Yundong had deep concentration, he suddenly saw Zhang Tianshi with only half of his body left. This really frightened him. His eyes widened and he lost his voice: "Master Zhang, you..."
However, Zhang Tianshi's expression remained normal. He stretched out his hand, smiled, and said with a smile: "Master Li, I'm sorry that I can't get up to see you. ≧ ≦"
Li Yundong returned the gift and said in surprise: "Master Zhang, you haven't left seclusion in the past ten years. Could it be that this is because..."
Li Yundong swallowed the next words before he finished them and said nothing more.
Zhang Tianshi then smiled and said, "Master Li, why do you think my legs are gone?"
Li Yundong shook his head and said: "Fate knowledge is not my strong point, I can't guess it."
Zhang Tianshi grabbed his empty clothes below the waist and smiled. Although his smile was open-minded, it revealed a sense of vicissitudes and helplessness. He said: "Since I was born, I have been indoctrinated to promote Zhengyi Sect.
The concept of restoring the glory of our Zhengyi Sect. But unfortunately during the Republic of China, our Zhengyi Sect stood on the wrong team one after another, and finally atheists who believed in Christianity took over the world. From that moment on, our Zhengyi Sect’s leader Zhang Enpu knew that the Dharma was over.
The era has come. From that time on, he tried hard to preserve the strength of the sect, and told us, the descendants of the Zhengyi Sect, to endure hardships and find the right opportunity in order to make a comeback."
Zhang Tianshi spoke eloquently, and every word revealed the helplessness under the torrent of history, and every sentence revealed the vicissitudes of the times. Even a great practitioner like him, despite the changes of dynasties and the changing world, still remains the same.
There is no way to get rid of it, and there is no way to avoid it.
Zhang Tianshi said: "In the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, our Zhengyi Sect was caught in fierce internal strife. Because our Zhengyi Sect had always stood with the Kuomintang, but later the Kuomintang took over, many people in the sect insisted on
They want to go to Taiwan with the Kuomintang, but some people believe that they must stick to their ancestral home and cannot leave. At the same time, some people propose that they should cross the ocean and leave this land of right and wrong. They believe that China at this time has fallen into the age of apocalypse, and there will definitely be trouble in the future.
After a great catastrophe, those who remain will definitely suffer great torture; but Taiwan is a small place, not capable of becoming a great weapon, and a wise man will not take it. If there is a way out, we must go to a foreign country."
When Zhang Tianshi said this, he lowered his head, smiled slightly, and said with great emotion: "When I heard this, I was still young and didn't take it seriously. I thought that no matter who is in the world in this world, in the end, there is no one.
Do we have to rely on our Zhengyi Sect? Our Zhang Tianshi family is known as a thousand-year-old family, and we are divided into south and north. How can we be ridiculous? But the facts have proved... I was wrong, very wrong!"
Zhang Tianshi sighed and breathed heavily: "You also know what happened later. Our Zhengyi Sect split into three factions. One group followed the Kuomintang Chiang Kai-shek to Taiwan. The one who left was our contemporary Zhengyi Sect's leader Zhang Enpu; the other group led
With a part of the backbone, Zhang Tianfang, the founder of the Xuantian Sect, fled to a foreign country; the rest... were some of the least effective and least hopeful people, and I... was pushed to the shelf at that time, and I reluctantly acted as
Leader."
Zhang Tianshi said, smiled at Li Yundong, and said: "I was just a child at the time, with low cultivation and shallow qualifications. No one would accept me, let alone those uncles and uncles from Taiwan or overseas. I took over.
When the Zhengyi Sect was established, this place was an unprecedented mess, but after so many years of hard work... I finally managed the Zhengyi Sect a little bit again, especially after I discovered a genius who was not seen in a century."
Zhang Tianshi's eyes shone brightly, he stared at Li Yundong with piercing eyes, and said, "Do you know who I am talking about?"
Li Yundong listened with rapt attention, his heart moved, and he tentatively said: "Wang Yuanshan?"
Zhang Tianshi laughed, nodded approvingly to Li Yundong, and said, "Yes, it's Wang Yuanshan! His talent is extremely high, far above mine. In time, his cultivation will reach its peak, enough to promote the glory of our Zhengyi Sect!"
Li Yundong couldn't help but sigh when he heard this, and said, "Zhenren Zhang, is a person's strength really so important?"
Zhang Tianshi said disapprovingly: "Of course! Throughout the five thousand years of our Chinese history, the rise of a country, the rise of a religion, and the rise of a sect all rose because of the rise of one person, and they all became powerful because of the strength of one person. Qin had Shang Yang, so seven
The country dominates; the Han Dynasty has Emperor Wu, so it is powerful in far-reaching countries; the Tang Dynasty has Taizong, so people from all directions come to the dynasty; the Yuan Dynasty has Temujin, so iron hoofs travel across Europe; the Ming Dynasty has Zhu Di, so it is strong! One country is like this, and one religion is
The same is true for a sect, or even a family! Mr. Li, if you hadn't inherited the position of leader of the Fox Chan Sect inexplicably, I'm afraid it would have been wiped out by now! You can't deny this fact, right?"
Li Yundong listened in silence for a while. Although he agreed in his heart, he was more helpless and lamented. It is precisely because of this that China has always been a society governed by people, not a society ruled by law. From the beginning to the end, people have been managing this country, not a sound one.
There is a legal system. When the people in charge are wise and powerful, no one in the world can stop the Chinese nation from sweeping everything away. When the people in charge are stupid and brainless, the Chinese nation will fall into complete chaos and internal strife.
Li Yundong was thoughtful, but Zhang Tianshi didn't notice it. He continued to say with some emotion: "After I found Wang Yuanshan, I immediately decided to devote all my life to helping him practice. Wang Yuanshan lived up to my expectations and became the youngest person in the Chinese practice world.
Master of the Golden Immortal. But... things in the world are unpredictable and fate is unpredictable, but I didn't expect that he was destined to have a love disaster."
Li Yundong blurted out: "Ao Wushuang?"
Zhang Tianshi nodded and said: "That's right! This seven-tailed fox disrupted all my arrangements. She made Wang Yuanshan resolutely abandon my respect for him and the sect's responsibility, and finally apostatized."
When Zhang Tianshi said this, his expression was extremely sad. He seemed to still be troubled, guilty, sad, and sad about Wang Yuanshan. He said slowly: "You also know what happened next. But I caught him ten years ago
After he decided to seal him, I knew that he could no longer rely on me, and I had to find another way out. Although I knew that in ten years there would be successive catastrophes in the Chinese spiritual world, and so would our Zhengyi Sect.
It's a huge disaster. It's all destined by fate. It's reincarnation, cause and effect, and fate. But I'm not willing to accept it. I want to try to go against nature, and I want to use my own power to turn things around."
Zhang Tianshi laughed deeply and grabbed the robe on his legs with his hands.
Li Yundong saw it, and his heart moved, and he already understood something.
Sure enough, Zhang Tianshi soon continued: "I am not very talented. It can be said that I am a bit clumsy. The reason why I am where I am today is very simple. It is nothing more than hard work."
Zhang Tianshi smiled and said: "It is true that hard work can make up for failure in some things, but there are some things where a person's hard work for a lifetime is not as good as someone's enlightenment and practice for a year!"
As Zhang Tianshi spoke, he looked at Li Yundong with a smile in his eyes and said, "Master Li, do you think so?"
Li Yundong knew that Zhang Tianshi was talking about him, so he bowed slightly and said, "Don't you dare, Master Zhang, are you... too hasty?"
Zhang Tianshi smiled and said: "It's too hasty? Yes, isn't it just too hasty? In order to break through to the realm of thunder and calamity as soon as possible, I ended up going crazy and completely paralyzed my lower body..."
Li Yundong said curiously: "But Master Zhang, you..." Li Yundong glanced at Master Zhang's empty Taoist robe, and his face was filled with doubts. If he went crazy, he wouldn't lose both thighs, right?
Zhang Tianshi guessed what Li Yundong was thinking, he smiled and said: "I went crazy back then, half of my body was paralyzed, and my two legs were completely reduced to rotten flesh and waste limbs. If I had left them behind, I would have spent part of my mana and true energy on these two legs every day.
There were only two useless legs, so I simply cut off both legs myself."
Li Yundong was shocked. He was shocked when he saw Yan Fang cutting off his own lifeblood, but he didn't expect Zhang Tianshi to cut off both of his legs himself!
What courage is this!
Li Yundong stared at Zhang Tianshi with his mouth agape, speechless for a moment.
Zhang Tianshi smiled casually and said: "This is all in the past. Master Li, I haven't seen anyone for ten years. I called you in today. Apart from telling you this, do you know why?"
Li Yundong shook his head and asked, "Please give me some advice from Master Zhang."
Zhang Tianshi smiled and said: "In the chess game just now, I firmly believe that Mr. Li is a gentleman and will not take advantage of others' danger. Therefore, I have one thing to ask of you."
Li Yundong was shocked. Zhang Tianshi wanted to entrust him with something, so it must be a big deal. He couldn't help but ask: "What is it? As long as I can help, I will never refuse."
Zhang Tianshi smiled, with a solemn expression, and said: "Master Li, I once calculated that there are two disasters in our Chinese spiritual world that cannot be avoided. One is the resurrection of the black fox, and the other is the chaos of demons, and we
A disaster will soon come to the Zhengyi Sect. Our Zhengyi Sect escaped the disaster when the black fox was resurrected, but next time, I don’t know if we can escape it. And I, the deadline has come, Li
If the real person is still in the world in the future, if it is convenient, you might as well take more care of the Zhengyi Sect, please!"
After saying that, Zhang Tianshi bent down deeply.
Li Yundong hurriedly stepped forward to help him up, and said: "What did Master Zhang say? In this era of Dharma end, all practitioners in the world are one family. When disaster strikes, they should help each other and support each other."
Li Yundong's heart moved and he asked: "Zhenzhen Zhang, what about Deng Yu and Deng Jiao..."
Zhang Tianshi laughed and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Li, I will definitely arrange this matter appropriately."
When Li Yundong heard what he said, he felt relieved. Finally, his work was not in vain. He thought about it, and although he felt that he was taking advantage of others, he still said it: "Zhenzhen Zhang, that Ziyuan..."
Before he finished speaking, Zhang Tianshi shook his head and said: "Zhenren Li, I can't help you with this matter. The state has national laws and religion has dogma. Ziyuan will definitely be punished if she breaks the law, but I will not keep her close.
If you want to close it, you should be expelled from the mountain gate." At this point, Master Zhang raised his head, looked at Li Yundong sincerely, and said: "Master Li, why don't you start your own sect? With your strength and cultivation, you are enough to succeed in China.
A sect has been established in the world of spiritual practice, and it has established itself on the top of its mountain!"
Li Yundong was stunned. This was not the first time someone mentioned this matter in front of him. It was often mentioned by people around him before. Although Li Yundong had thought about it, he did not seriously consider it, but this time he mentioned it.
The person responsible for this incident is a very important figure in the Chinese spiritual world.
Li Yundong thought to himself: Maybe it's really time to set up his own business?
