Chapter 278: The first visit to the Eight Views Palace
Chapter 278: First visit to Bajing Palace
Yuyi Xian also heard this voice of accusation in his immortal consciousness. Because he was afraid of the saint's power, he secretly felt weak in his heart.
Xiaoyaozi, who was on his back, actually flew down, stood up in the sky, bowed his head in front of him, channeled his immortal power and said in a loud voice: "Xiaoyaozi has come to see the sage of Bajing Palace."
Yu Yixian had originally thought about retreating, but when he saw that he actually took the initiative to greet him, he did not want to show weakness, so he immediately transformed into a human form and stood side by side with Zhang Zixing.
At this time, a person suddenly appeared in the void. This person looked about thirty years old. He was wearing an inconspicuous Taoist robe and his appearance was very ordinary. Although the power level displayed by this person was only that of a lower-level Golden Immortal.
, Zhang Zixing did not dare to underestimate this Taoist at all. Now he is no longer comparable to the rookie cultivator he used to be. Over the years, he has accumulated a lot of experience and has met many top figures in the Xuanxian realm. In addition, since he achieved the demonic body,
My sensing ability has been greatly strengthened, so I am increasingly aware that this Taoist is not simple.
In Zhang Zixing's mind, he estimates that this Taoist's power may be slightly weaker than Xingtian, or equal to Lu Ya, and must be Master Xuandu, my only disciple. In the original work, Master Xuandu has very few scenes and only a few lines.
In other words, he was basically just a sidekick who received a box lunch, but he didn't expect that his true cultivation had reached such a level. He was also a "great mage", but Xuandu was much stronger than Lingbao, and he was not on the same level at all.
Looking at the "genuine" Xuandu Archmaster, Zhang Zixing remembered that when he and Han Zhixian were traveling in the Three Wei Mountains, he had mistakenly identified me as someone from Xuandu. He couldn't help secretly feeling ashamed and bowing to the Xuandu Archmaster.
When Master Xuandu heard the name of Xiaoyaozi, he couldn't help but be startled. Then he seemed to have received some instructions. He immediately returned the gift and made a "please" gesture. He saw a "door" suddenly appeared in the void, and at the same time, two people
Xuandu's voice sounded again in the human immortal consciousness: "The saint has an order to invite two fellow Taoists to go to the Eight Views Palace."
When Zhang Zixing heard this, he quickly thanked Master Xuandu and flew towards the door. When Yuyi Xian saw that Laozi, one of the saints of the three religions, was actually willing to meet Xiaoyaozi, a "mere" golden immortal, he couldn't help but be surprised, thinking of what Xiaoyaozi said before.
That saint's way has added some doubts in my heart. Looking at the posture now, it is impossible to escape, so I simply go to find out and follow closely.
As soon as the two of them entered the "door", they felt that the scenery in their eyes changed, and they arrived on the planet without any resistance. The figure of Master Xuandu also appeared in front of them in time.
"Two fellow Taoists, please come with me."
Zhang Zixing and Yu Yixian followed Master Xuandu and flew slowly along the way. They also saw many sacred trees, fairy grass, rare birds and animals, which can be called a paradise among immortals. Not long after, they arrived at their destination, Daluo Palace, Xuandu Cave.
In the middle is the Bajing Palace where Laozi lives.
The appearance of the Eight Views Palace is somewhat different from what Zhang Zixing imagined. Compared with the majestic palace like Biyou Palace, the style of the Eight Views Palace appears natural and casual, closer to the appearance of an ordinary immortal's cave. It blends in with the atmosphere of the entire fairyland and is completely natural.
.
As for the front of the Eight Views Palace, Master Xuandu asked the two of them to wait for a while, and announced that they had entered the palace. He came out in a moment and invited Zhang Zixing and Yu Yixian to enter.
Zhang Zixing brought Yu Yixian and followed Master Xuandu to the palace, and saw that I still looked like an old man with white hair, sitting upright on the futon.
Zhang Zixing stepped forward to salute, and his address surprised the two people on the side: "Fellow Taoist, I hope you'll forgive me for coming here today to chat and bother Qingxiu."
Fellow Taoist? Yuyi Xian thought he heard it wrong, and was a little confused for a moment. What is a saint? A person with peak magical powers who has comprehended the Hunyuan Dao Fruit and has invincible power! This guy is just a golden immortal at best, but he is so courageous.
Dare to call the saint a "fellow Taoist"! Yuyi Xian himself did not dare to be as bold as Zhang Zixing, so he quickly fell to his side and worshiped: "Penglai Yuyi Xian wishes the saint a long life!"
Master Xuandu was also quite surprised when he heard this title from a commoner. Even a person with a high level of Xuanxian cultivation like Taoist Duobao, when he saw me, he would bow down and bow respectfully and call me "teacher". Now, now
People can be so rude!
What surprised the two of them was still behind them. Instead of being annoyed, I smiled and asked Zhang Zixing to sit down on the futon beside him. He waved to Yuyi Xian to get up, and said in his mouth: "Friend Taoist Xiaoyao, how are you? How are you?
Do you want to come to my Bajing Palace for a while?"
Zhang Zixing smiled and said: "To be honest with you Taoist friends, I just encountered a serious danger and almost died, but I was lucky enough to escape. I didn't go to the Eight Views Palace today because I had nothing to do. I came here for a reason."
When I heard that he was in danger, his expression moved slightly and asked: "Fellow Taoist, please tell me."
Zhang Zixing pointed at the Winged Immortal standing behind him and said: "This fellow Taoist Winged Immortal heard about the essence of the Saint's Dao, but he was very confused and came here specifically to ask for advice."
Lao Tzu didn't expect it to be such a "little" thing, but he knew that Xiaoyaozi was extremely intelligent and talented. This matter was by no means that simple, so he asked: "What is the essence of it?"
Zhang Zixing winked at Yuyi Xian, who read out a few paragraphs nervously: "Tao can be Tao, but it is very Tao...Tao gives birth to one, one gives birth to two, two gives birth to three, and three gives birth to all things. All things bear Yin.
Hold the Yang and inflate the Qi and think it is harmonious... If it is deficient, its use will not be harmful. If it is full, its use will be endless. If it is straight, it will be bent, if it is skillful, it will be clumsy. If it is clumsy, it will be arrogant. Quietness will win over impatience, and coldness will win over heat.
Peace brings justice to the world..."
I looked normal at first, but then I became more and more shocked when I heard that, and turned my eyes to Zhang Zixing: "Did you teach him these?"
Zhang Zixing smiled slightly: "Since discussing the Tao with my Taoist friends, I have a deep understanding of your Taoist Tao, so I have this understanding. It's just that my cultivation is low, so there must be some fallacies. Please don't take it off, my Taoist friends."
Some of these sentences are just the exact words I said to Zhang Zixing in Sanwei Mountain at that time, but many of them are theories that have not yet been formed or are about to be formed in my mind. After hearing Yu Yixian relay these words, this person
The Renjiao saint was surprised and happy in his heart, and sighed: "Back then, I said that my fellow Taoist's understanding of the Tao seemed to be the same as mine, but his mind was completely different from mine. I didn't expect that my fellow Taoist would have such an understanding of my Tao! It's really amazing.
Congratulations!"
If I knew that "Tao is not Tao" was told to Dapeng before Zhang Zixing met him, I don't know what I would think.
Grand Master Xuandu was greatly impressed when he heard this, and finally understood why Xiaoyaozi could be friends with his master, the Saint.
Duo. Now that I have heard these words relayed by Yu Yixian, they are deeply consistent with the Tao of Wuwei that I have practiced. Many of them are even wonderful principles that Master has never mentioned before. After savoring them carefully, I feel that I have a clear understanding in my heart.
I couldn't help but be secretly happy.
When Yuyi Xian heard that Laozi, who was a Hunyuan saint, had such a high opinion of Xiaoyaozi's "harmful words", he was immediately shocked, and his mind was buzzing: As a saint, I naturally can't
Maybe they colluded with people like Xiaoyaozi to deceive him. Could it be that those are really... saints and wise men?
The true form of the Winged Immortal, Dapeng, was born from a phoenix. He was extremely talented, but he always regretted that he was not as good as his brother Peacock, so he often fought openly and secretly. But as Kong Xuan quickly reached the peak of the upper level of Xuanxian, he was extremely talented.
After reaching the strong realm, Yu Yixian was finally disheartened. Although he was not scheming, he was not a fool either. Naturally, he knew how big the gap between his upper-level Golden Immortal and Kong Xuan was.
However, when she heard what Zhang Zixing said about "the Tao is not the Tao", Yu Yi Xian felt that hope was ignited in her heart, so she left with gratitude. She also promised to study Xuan Xian and respect Zhang Zixing as her brother, but she was too eager to ask for it.
Cheng, not only did he make no progress in his cultivation, but he also suffered from inner demons. In a rage, he came to Chaoge to seek bad luck from "Xiaoyaozi".
Now it has been confirmed by Lao Tzu, the sage of Bajing Palace, that those "harmful" sentences are actually the ideal principles of Lao Tzu's sage way. Yuyi Xian felt as if a five-flavor bottle had been stirred up in his heart. All kinds of feelings came up, and he felt regret.
, there was surprise, guilt, and secret joy, all intertwined together, leaving me speechless for a moment.
After all, Yuyi Xian had the cultivation level of the upper level Golden Immortal. He was stunned for a while, and finally recovered. Looking at the scene of me and Xiaoyaozi talking and laughing freely, his mind was agitated. He felt that he had never been so close to an opportunity.
He immediately turned over and prostrated himself desperately to Lao Tzu: "Although my disciple is lucky enough to have attained the truth, I have no one to guide me and find it difficult to understand. I sincerely ask the saint to accept me as his disciple so that I can teach you the great truth."
I didn't expect that Yuyi Xian would suddenly act like this. He frowned slightly and didn't see any movement. Yuyi Xian couldn't help but stand up. He wanted to kowtow, but he couldn't bend down anymore. He couldn't help but be even more amazed in his heart.
Mouth begging.
I glanced at Yu Yixian and ignored him. I just turned my attention to Zhang Zixing and said, "Fellow Taoist Xiaoyao, is this why you came to my Bajing Palace today?"
"No, he just sent me here to confirm something." Zhang Zixing was also a little surprised by Yu Yixian's actions. Hearing Laozi's inquiry, he shook his head, but then asked: "But meeting is fate, he has this idea.
It makes sense. Could it be that fellow Taoist believe that his qualifications are too poor and that he cannot be trained?"
When Yu Yixian heard the hint of intercession in Zhang Zixing's words, he was secretly grateful. He immediately stopped pleading and listened with open ears to listen to my reply.
"This Dapeng is the queen of the phoenix, the eldest bird of all birds. She was born at the beginning of chaos. She is extremely talented and has outstanding qualifications." My first words ignited hope in Yuyi Xian's heart, but then it became
Frustrated: "However, this person is very violent. He must be brave and fierce in daily life. This is completely contrary to my way of doing nothing. How can he join my sect?"
Zhang Zixing glanced at the dejected Yu Yixian and said: "The words of Taoist friends are too general. Although Dapeng is a little competitive, the most important thing is his heart towards the Tao. A sergeant hears the Tao and practices it diligently. A sergeant hears the Tao.
, if you live or die. The corporal heard the Tao and laughed. When this Dapeng heard the Tao, it was neither if you live or die, nor laughed. Instead, he practiced it diligently and continued to explore in practice. Although he suffered setbacks, he did not change.
Being focused and fighting against repeated defeats is really valuable!”
As soon as these words came out, Yu Yixian felt even more grateful. Thinking of his previous behavior of questioning the teachings taught by Xiaoyaozi and coming to find a way out of it, he felt a rare and strong feeling of guilt in his heart.
Lao Tzu did not answer directly, but asked: "What a saying about the Three Scholars! What does it mean when the corporal heard the Tao and laughed?"
Zhang Zixing originally used the spear of the son to attack the shield of the son, using the exact words from the Tao Te Ching. Now he continues to follow the same example: "Not laughing is not enough to be a Taoist!"
"Wonderful!" I understand the mystery contained in this sentence better than anyone else, and I couldn't help but praise him. The Great Master Xuandu on the side also admired Xiaoyaozi, and only Yuyixian was the only one who admired Xiaoyaozi.
Monk Zhang Er was still confused, and he didn't hear anything about it.
In fact, Zhang Zixing himself only understood some of the superficial meaning, but this guy was better at pretending to be profound. Anyway, he was an expert in front of him. He didn't need to explain, but he seemed unfathomable.
After I praised Zhang Zixing, I stared at Zhang Zixing for a while, until he felt a hair in his heart, and then he said: "There is no better way to achieve enlightenment than to seek enlightenment. If you really want me to accept a disciple... Taoist friend...
Such a good person is the best candidate."
Zhang Zixing originally wanted to use Yuyi Xian to get on my boat, but he didn't expect that I would "fall in love" with him. He glanced at the admiring Master Xuandu, smiled bitterly, and shook his head: "I didn't expect that with my qualifications
, can actually enter the eyes of a saint!"
"Friend Taoist, why should you be too modest? Your understanding and conduct are rare in the world. If you join my sect, you will be able to promote my great way." Lao Tzu said, his face straightening. "Furthermore, if the destiny is confused, chaos will occur. With the help of Taoist friend,
I am afraid that with special fate, and the calamity of death, there will be variables that will cause chaos in the way of heaven, which will be detrimental to both myself and others. Why not practice in my Eight Views Palace, firstly, you can discuss the Tao and practice with me, and secondly,
You can also use the power of my Eight Views Palace to avoid the murder, isn’t it killing two birds with one stone?”
Only then did Zhang Zixing find out that I wanted to accept him as a disciple and that I had some considerations for the overall situation of becoming a god. A strange smile appeared on his face: "The Taoist friend is kind, but the poor Taoist understands it. However, this matter is not allowed."
Yu Yixian on the side thought he heard wrongly. He had heard that I was going to accept Xiaoyaozi as his disciple, and he was envious in his heart. Unexpectedly, Xiaoyaozi refused outright, with a look of disbelief on his face. Master Xuandu was also great.
I feel surprised: You know, I am a Hunyuan saint, and ordinary immortals cannot be worshiped even if they ask for help. Now I took the initiative to propose to Xiaoyaozi, but I was rejected!
Lao Tzu looked unmoved and said: "Fellow Taoist, if you don't come to Bajing Palace today, I will go and look for you. To be honest, in terms of 'Tao', even I may not be able to help you."
Master, I am making this proposal firstly because I love your qualifications and understanding, and secondly, to prevent those extra-fateful beings from disrupting the general trend. If fellow Taoist fellow Taoist do not want to worship under my sect, that is fine, but please stay here until the killing tribulation is over before proceeding.
Leave."
Zhang Zixing did not comment on this proposal, and immediately sat on the futon and said something that would make even the sage and me feel horrified.
