Chapter 642: The Little Heavenly Master Enters the Mountain, Reactions From All Sides
On Mount Wudang, a young Taoist priest with a pig kidney face and a somewhat sad face, holding a branch in his hand, was lying on the ground writing and drawing with a focused expression.
The ground was filled with densely packed Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches, so complicated that it made people dizzy at a glance.
The little Taoist priest's face changed slightly, and he kept talking to himself, and finally sighed heavily.
"Too small, this game is too small, turning me into a king, with such a small scope, what kind of turning me into a king is this?"
"Brother Zhang has obviously taught me many times, and I have already mastered the essence, why can't I compare with Brother Zhang at all?"
The little Taoist priest with a pig kidney face raised his two thin eyebrows and muttered to himself.
Last time he went to Zhang Zhiwei to discuss Taoism, Zhang Zhiwei did not hide anything and taught him a lot of strange knowledge, and he benefited a lot.
Based on this knowledge and his own understanding, he sorted out a more complete set of Qimen Dunjia, which can lead the Zhoutian innately, cover the changes of the Zhoutian, transform me into a king, and have the ability to reach the sky.
He wanted to call this Tongtian Qimen, but he felt that it was too ostentatious, not subtle, and too arrogant.
Thinking again, this was understood under the advice of Senior Brother Zhang, and Senior Brother Zhang's Taoist name was Tiantong, so it would be better to be more restrained and call it Tiantong Qimen.
When he first learned Tiantong Qimen, he was very excited, and his mind was full of the scene when Zhang Zhiwei opened the game in Changbai Mountain.
He also wanted to be like Senior Brother Zhang.
So, during this period of time, he has been thinking about how to expand this game. At first, it was more than ten meters, and then tens of meters after arrival, and it was expanded to a hundred meters. It was too difficult to expand outward.
Moreover, he could not open several games in a row like Senior Brother Zhang. After opening each game, he had to rest and meditate to restore his Qi before opening the next game. He was completely unable to be as comfortable as Senior Brother Zhang.
"The reason for such a big gap should not be the problem of technique and understanding, but the problem of self-cultivation, just like the Tai Chi power of four ounces to move a thousand pounds, I can only open a game with a radius of 100 meters, while Senior Brother Zhang can open a game of several miles."
"Do I have to start cultivating my life and improve myself? But over the years, I have never fallen behind in my daily homework and never been lazy. This is not something that can be made up in a short time."
"Or, improve this method to make it less demanding on itself, so that it can be more suitable for ordinary people like us?"
"But how to change it? I have no idea!"
The sorrow on Zhou Sheng's face became even worse.
At this time, he heard someone calling him, turned his head and saw his younger brother Zhou Meng flying in the woods like a flexible monkey.
"Little monkey, what are you doing?" Zhou Sheng's words were harsh, and he usually didn't have any good words.
"Bah, who are you talking about, little monkey?" Zhou Meng said unhappily, "The head of the sect just said that the little celestial master is going to Tiantai Sect to cause trouble, and we Wudang have to support the scene. I ask you to take a few brothers and leave immediately."
When Zhou Sheng heard that it was Zhang Zhiwei who was going to cause trouble, he immediately became excited. He quickly supported his waist and got up from the ground, calling Zhou Meng to leave immediately.
Zhou Meng squinted at Zhou Sheng's waist: "I say, big monkey, your waist, is it okay?"
When Zhou Sheng was practicing before, he didn't know why he sprained his waist. It seemed that there was a gas in his waist, and it hurt when he walked. He found a Taoist priest who was proficient in medical skills in the mountains to see him. He got a few dog skin plasters to stick, but it didn't seem to get better.
"I'm fine. It's just a small problem. It's no big deal. It will be fine in a few days," Zhou Sheng asked, "What exactly is the matter with Senior Brother Zhang?"
Zhou Meng told him truthfully.
Zhou Sheng cursed loudly: "The bald donkey who eats and disloyalties should be disciplined. Which commander of our Wudang Mountain will lead the team?"
Zhou Meng said: "Didn't I just say it? You lead the team."
"Me?" Zhou Sheng was stunned, "Are we enough to support the scene? I'm afraid our words are not taken seriously!"
Zhou Meng said: "The head of the sect said that it involves Buddhism and Taoism. In order to avoid being accused, it is not good for the seniors with seniority to go. We, the younger generation, can go to support the scene. Moreover, even if we really get into trouble with Senior Brother Zhang, we can go back to the mountain to avoid the limelight. He will protect us."
Zhou Sheng said: "Following Senior Brother Zhang, and with the guarantee of the head of the sect, what are we afraid of? Let's go, let's set off quickly, don't be late!"
…………
At the same time, in the study room of the elegant and unique Lu family mansion, Old Master Lu and Lu Xuan were discussing things.
"Uncle, you have also read the letter from the Wang family. What do you think our Lu family should do?" Lu Xuan said.
"Xuan'er, you are now the head of the Lu family. You can make your own decisions on these matters." said Old Master Lu.
Lu Xuan said: "I asked Brother Wang and Brother Lu, and they seem to want to get involved in this matter."
"But I thought about it. It involves Buddhism and Taoism. If you are not careful, it may lead to a disaster."
"Besides, doesn't the old master Tianshi not agree with the decision of the young Tianshi? In the final analysis, this matter is the young Tianshi's will."
"So, I decided to only express my support, but not to participate in this matter."
After Lu Xuan finished speaking, he looked at the old master, wanting to hear his opinion.
Old Master Lu smiled and felt a little complicated. In fact, there are many talents in their Lu family. Some are more skilled than Lu Xuan, some are smarter than Lu Xuan, and some are more decisive than Lu Xuan...
Compared with these people, Lu Xuan can only be regarded as mediocre, and even a little conservative.
But Lu Xuan also has his own advantages.
First, he is very upright.
Second, he is very stable and not aggressive.
He is upright and stable, which is why he did not pass the title to his biological son, but instead passed the title of head of the family to his nephew, Lu Xuan.
But if you accept his integrity and stability, you have to accept some of his flaws, such as being old-fashioned and not very flexible.
Mr. Lu has been a good friend of Celestial Master Zhang Jingqing for many years. He naturally understands the character of this old friend. Since the young Celestial Master did this, it must be his instructions or tacit approval behind it.
Otherwise, if he really didn't want to do this, how could the little Celestial Master do this if he really didn't want to do so just because he said "evil beast" during the martial arts performance in the Lu Family Courtyard?
However, although he saw through it, he had no intention of influencing Lu Xuan's decision.
The reason why he wanted to abdicate was that he felt that his end was approaching and that time was running out. The future of the Lu family would eventually fall entirely on Lu Xuan.
Therefore, unless it was something involving life and death, he would not interfere with Lu Xuan's decision-making.
Since Lu Xuan said he would not participate, then he would not participate.
Lu Xuan continued: "Isn't Jin'er still in Longhu Mountain? With his character, he will definitely go with the Little Heavenly Master. Our Lu family is not directly involved. If Jin'er goes, it is equivalent to our support. , It’s not like I’m evil to the little Heavenly Master.”
Mr. Lu nodded: "This is also a good strategy."
"But uncle..." Lu Xuan asked, "Do you think the Little Heavenly Master can succeed?"
"Who can say for sure..." Mr. Lu looked out the window and said, "In my opinion, the biggest problem this time is the attitude of the Zen Sect. If Master Henglin, the abbot of Shaolin, intervenes, then there will be no That’s easy to say.”
"Uncle, can you elaborate?" Lu Xuan asked quickly.
Mr. Lu analyzed it to his nephew:
"The reason why the Celestial Master is not going is very simple. The Celestial Master has an old relationship with the Shaolin abbot, Master Henglin, and they have an irreconcilable relationship. The last time Master Dehong went to Longhu Mountain, Master Henglin also went with him."
"Master Henglin went to Longhu Mountain not to support Master Dehong, but to mediate. Once the situation develops in an uncontrollable direction, he will stand up."
"And this time, if Longhu Mountain and Tiantai Mountain, as the head of the Zen sect and the abbot of Shaolin, he will definitely go there and participate in the mediation."
"Moreover, this time, Longhu Mountain and Tiantai Mountain are different from the last time. Last time, Master Dehong was unreasonable and returned in vain."
"But this time Longhu Mountain is trying to figure things out. If they don't achieve their goal, they can't give up. Once the Heavenly Master goes, they will definitely confront Master Henglin. This is inevitable."
"Because if Master Henglin is present, regardless of whether he expresses his stance or not, he will support the Tiantai Sect, which is also a Buddhist sect. The Tiantai Sect will definitely resist stubbornly, and the final situation may not end well."
"That's why the Celestial Master didn't go, but asked the little Celestial Master to go."
After listening to Mr. Lu's explanation, Lu Xuan suddenly realized: "So, what the little Celestial Master did was actually arranged by the Celestial Master?"
Mr. Lu nodded. Although he would not interfere with Lu Xuan's decision-making, he still wanted to analyze and inform him of the stakes.
"Then we..." Lu Xuan hesitated. Since it was arranged by the Heavenly Master, there was no reason for the Lu family to stay out of the matter.
Mr. Lu said: "Continue with your previous decision! You are too upright. The little Heavenly Master is going to be cruel, and you may not be used to it."
"Furthermore, if the Heavenly Master doesn't go, it doesn't necessarily mean that Master Henglin won't go. Therefore, for stability, our Lu family should not intervene directly."
Lu Xuan was worried again: "Will Jin'er be in danger?"
Mr. Lu shook his head: "The little Celestial Master is in the light and the Celestial Master is in the dark. There should be no danger!"

At the same time, Tiantai Mountain, Tiantai Sect, palaces and halls are built on the mountain, and pavilions and pavilions are lined up in rows.
In the Main Hall, the abbot of the Tiantai Sect, wearing a scarlet cassock, sat under the golden body of the Buddha. On both sides of him, the eminent monks in the temple sat in two rows.
Some time ago, Master Dehong, the leader of the Tiantai Sect, went to Longhu Mountain to question the little Tianshi, but he never returned.
The monks of the Tiantai Sect searched for it but failed to find it. The life and death of the abbot was unknown. There was no new abbot in the temple. Instead, Master Kurong, the abbot of the Tiantai Sect, took over.
Today, Master Kurong was teaching Buddhism in the treasure hall, but he suddenly heard the bad news that Master Dehong had taken refuge with the Japanese pirates, attacked and killed the Little Heavenly Master, and was killed by the Little Heavenly Master.
But now, the Little Heavenly Master is not giving up. He wants to invite his colleagues from all over the world to go to Tiantai Mountain to demand justice and eliminate the traitors.
Even though the people here are all monks who have cultivated their moral integrity, they still became angry when such a big hat was pulled off.
"Amitabha, that Zhang Zhiwei is an unworthy cultivator. He is simply a rebellious person. He is extremely insane and insane. He wants to kill me as the presiding officer, and even goes to the mountain to hold me to account. What does he think of our Tiantai Sect?" A middle-aged monk asked with wide eyes.
Another monk had an angry look on his face and shouted: "You are so cowardly, you are too arrogant. That Zhang Jingqing is not a heavenly master in vain, how could he teach such a disciple who does not know etiquette?!"
They didn't talk about whether Dehong Dharma Body had surrendered to the Japanese pirates. Regardless of Master Dehong, when Zhang Zhiwei decided to break into the mountains, it didn't matter. Now it was a dispute between Buddhism and Taoism.
In other words, it is not important in the first place. They preached widely. The Tiantai Sect that stands on the Bihe Mountain in Dongying was established by their disciples of the Tiantai Sect.
Strictly speaking, it is their branch, sharing the same sect and origin, so for thousands of years, the two sides have been in contact and engaged in Buddhist exchanges.
They have some communication with Japan. It's normal, so why collude? Just bullshit? !
The little Heavenly Master clearly wanted to take revenge on him.
A monk said angrily: "Previously, Senior Brother Dehong said that he colluded with Master Quanxing and went to Longhu Mountain to question him. Now he says that Senior Brother Dehong colluded with Japanese people and wants to come to us to question him. It is obviously a personal enmity. What kind of righteousness can we talk about?" !”
Abbot Master Kurong sat cross-legged in front of the Buddha's golden body, squinting at the many angry monks gathering in the hall, wondering what he was planning in his heart.
At this time, another monk said: "Abbott, I think that little Celestial Master is just an ignorant child. He is really a frog at the bottom of the well. We don't need to pay much attention to him. When he breaks into the mountain, we will kill him directly with a stick to accuse my brother Dehong of his spirit in heaven."
This person has been chanting and preaching Buddhist scriptures for a long time. He is ignorant of external affairs and does not know the methods of the little heavenly master.
Master Kurong opened his eyes, shook his head and said:
"This man is the reincarnation of a god-man. He is very extraordinary and has committed atrocities. It must be difficult for him to do good this time in the mountains."
"And although this person said it was a personal act and did not involve Longhu Mountain, who knows what the actual situation is? So, let's summon other sects and say..."
Master Kurong paused for a moment. Monks also want to save face. If a junior rushes into the mountains, they will fight against all the grass and trees. They still want to shake people. It will be embarrassing to talk about it.
He thought for a while and said, "Let's just say that our Tiantai Sect is going to hold a water and land Dharma conference and invite them to come and teach Buddhism."

Longhu Mountain, the Tianshi Mansion of the Si Han Dynasty.
When the brothers learned that Zhang Zhiwei was going to the Tiantai Sect to conquer the mountains, they immediately geared up and wanted to go together.
But Tian Jinzhong was a little puzzled: "Senior brother, even the master doesn't agree, so you still want to break into the Tiantai Sect? Are you so outrageous?!"
Just as Zhang Zhiwei was about to explain, the master's cough came from behind, and everyone suddenly fell silent. Looking back, they saw Zhang Jingqing and Zuo Ruotong arriving hand in hand.
"Where are you going? Have you finished your training? Huh?"
Zhang Jingqing blew his beard and glared, driving the disciples away.
None of the Taoist priests dared to continue, so they dispersed.
Tian Jinzhong and Zhang Huaiyi also separated and walked together.
Zhang Huaiyi explained to Tian Jinzhong in a low voice: "Senior brother Jinzhong, have you forgotten the virtues of senior brother Zhiwei? He will do it so openly and justly if the master does not let him do it? He also invites colleagues from all over the world, and the master must not beat him to death. Him?"
Tian Jinzhong suddenly realized: "Huaiyi, you mean that this is the master's tacit approval!"
Zhang Huaiyi nodded: "Yes, Jinzhong, do you want to go?!"
"Of course I do. Since Master has tacitly approved it, let's go. Let's go find Senior Brother quickly. If it's too late, he will leave!"
Tian Jinzhong quickly pulled Zhang Huaiyi back.
Zhang Huaiyi followed behind and thought to himself: Let Jinzhong speak first and see if the master agrees. This kind of thing where you can directly see the strength of the senior brother cannot be missed. It is best if the master agrees. If the master disagrees, then I will do it secretly. Go down the mountain and have a look.
At this moment, Zhang Jingqing looked at Zhang Zhiwei and said angrily:
"You're such a mouthful that you really can't hide things. I asked you to go, not to ask you to bring a bunch of fellow apprentices with you. Otherwise, why don't you just bring your master with you?!"
Zhang Zhiwei smiled and said: "Master, you are joking about this matter, why do you need to take action?"
I'm still going to take action, but I'm just trying to hold you back secretly... Zhang Jingqing thought to herself and asked again:
"Have you made contact?"
"Okay, many sects have responded, and I asked them to get together at the foot of Tiantai Mountain!" Zhang Zhiwei said with a smile: "Then, watch me break into the mountain!"
