Chapter 359 Taoist Daozi
"Is this... a carriage?"
"How could someone drive such a shabby carriage into the city?"
"Is the sound of the bell just a coincidence?"
In the crowd, many scholars were surprised and whispered to each other.
But just a moment later, the Dao bell rang again from Linzi City, but its bell sound was much smaller than the first time.
"Dong!"
In this low bell sound, visible fluctuations spread from Linzi City to the outside world, and the vast amount of Dao rhyme between heaven and earth gathered towards this magnificent city.
"Jixia Dao Bell! It's Jixia Dao Bell!"
Such a strange phenomenon in heaven and earth immediately allowed everyone to identify the source of the bell sound.
"When the Jixia Academy was conferred by the Zhou Emperor, the emperor gathered all kinds of weapons in the world and cast the Dao bell, intending to stop the war and hear the Tao.
On the day the Dao bell was cast, the Dao of heaven and earth sent down a gift, which gathered on the Dao bell into the Dao mantra, which is called: Great sound is rare!"
In the vast amount of Dao rhyme gathered, the third bell sound came as promised.
The third bell almost disappeared, but at the moment when the bell rang, everyone knew clearly that the bell had rung.
In the silent fluctuations, outside Linzi City, the sky was filled with rosy clouds and the ground was filled with golden lotuses. The rhythm of the Tao turned into a magnificent vision and appeared here.
The bell does not spread the sound of the world, but it plays the sound of the Tao.
"The Tao bell has rung three times. What is going on?"
"I have lived in Linzi for a hundred years and have never seen such a vision."
The discussion among the crowd became more and more heated, but the bell did not stop.
"Dong!"
"Dong!"
"Dong!"
...
In the capital of Qi, the King of Qi put down the bamboo slips in his hand and looked solemnly at the dilapidated carriage outside Linzi City.
In the Jixia Wendao Pavilion, scholars who were obsessed with the Tao walked out of the pavilion with surprised faces, and their auras merged with the heaven and earth to manifest thousands of visions.
In the Hundred Family Cave Heaven, figures that looked like demon gods opened their eyes from Luotian. When their eyes fell on Luotian Realm, they could see all the causes and effects of this time and space.
But when their eyes fell on Shen Yuan, the heavy fog of history covered everything, making these figures that looked like demon gods show some doubts.
"Why did a disciple who had never been seen before appear?"
"Which Taoist friend hid his identity?"
"Or was it a backup plan left by the Supreme Taoist Ancestor for preaching?"
The demon god figure that seemed to crush this world slowly dissipated, and finally manifested a body that was no different from ordinary people in the Hundred Family Cave Heaven.
The Great Dao of the Heavens was reflected in the fragile flesh, and there seemed to be infinite wisdom in the eyes.
At the moment when these bodies appeared, the voice of surprise resounded throughout the Hundred Family Cave Heaven.
"Welcome back, disciples!"
...
In Linzi City, all parties moved because of the sound of the Dao bell.
And outside Linzi City, the scholars who lined up in a long line had already exploded.
Sun Changyi, a scholar from Jixia, looked at the shabby carriage in disbelief.
"The Dao bell rang, could it really be because of him?"
Although he felt that the scene in front of him was too absurd, Sun Changyi could not find a better explanation.
"Could it be a great scholar in the country in such a shabby carriage? Or an envoy of the Zhou emperor?
But great scholars and envoys are accompanied by guards when they travel, and it is impossible for them to ride in such a simple carriage, because this is a Luotian ceremony that cannot be violated.
Unless..."
Sun Changyi's eyes suddenly condensed and fell on the token outside the carriage.
On the ancient token with a historical atmosphere, there was a word "Tao" that seemed to be born from heaven and earth.
"One of the Hundred Schools of Thought, Taoism!"
"Taoism has been hidden for hundreds of years, and I have never heard of any Taoist students appearing in the world. This time, the great ceremony of discussing Taoism can actually attract Taoist students to appear?"
Not only Sun Changyi, but many other knowledgeable practitioners also discovered the token.
"Taoism is said to be the oldest branch among all schools of thought, but there are not many classics left.
Now that Taoism has re-entered the world, its plans must be very big."
"The status of the scholars of the Hundred Schools is indeed extraordinary, but there are many schools in the Jixia Academy, and the Taoist students are far from enough to activate the Jixia Dao Bell, unless..."
A frightening thought rose from the mind of the knowledgeable Jixia scholar.
Before they could speak, the tenth bell of the Jixia Dao Bell echoed again between heaven and earth, and then the magnificent city gate that had been sealed for hundreds of years slowly opened.
The huge city gate was thicker than the mountains, and when it opened, it set off a terrifying storm that swept outside Linzi City.
The eleventh bell rang, and under the great sound, a large amount of Dao rhyme turned from the city gate into a golden bridge of merit, spanning dozens of miles and falling to the Jixia Academy.
Finally, the twelfth bell rang, and the Dao sounds in Linzi City spread like thunder to all corners of the world.
"Welcome back, Daozi!"
"Welcome back, Daozi!"
"Welcome back, Daozi!"
Faced with this magnificent vision of heaven and earth, the shabby carriage was not moved at all, but slowly drove towards Linzi City.
Until the carriage drove into the golden bridge of the avenue, turned into a rainbow light and escaped into the Jixia Academy, all the strange phenomena stopped.
The heavy main city gate slowly closed, and a violent storm was set off again, but no one cared about it.
Everyone was still immersed in the great sound of the twelve bells, and was still shocked by the legendary scene.
Among the many onlookers, the most shocked ones were the testers of the Luotian Dharma Assembly in various realms, including Ji Xuanyi, Ji Zhaoyang and others.
Due to the limitation of information level, their understanding of Luotian Realm is very little, at most it is limited to the level of traveling scholars and Jixia scholars.
The appearance of Daozi, one of the hundreds of disciples, allowed them to see the true peak power of Luo Tianjie.
The golden-armored divine generals transformed by Zun Dao Yun are all immortal Dao divine generals who are comparable to Hedao Daojun.
The vision of the Dao caused by the Jixia Dao Bell is beyond their understanding of the Dao. If they can get the remnant of a bell, it will be enough for them to step into the Dao, and they can expect to be in harmony with the Dao.
And this is just one Taoist disciple who seems to have fallen into despair.
It is conceivable how extraordinary the Confucianists, Mohists, Farmers, Politicians, and Yin-Yang Schools, who are at the top among hundreds of schools of thought, must be.
"Only by joining the hundreds of schools of thought can we truly come into contact with the peak power of Luo Tianjie and gain the greatest harvest!"
Ji Xuanyi realized this and immediately sent a message to Zhao Yuan's spiritual consciousness, asking Zhao Yuan to test Sun Changyi's tone.
In fact, Ji Xuanyi wanted to test it himself. Unfortunately, Sun Changyi, the Jixia scholar, obviously looked down on Ji Xuanyi who was still in the virtual realm, which left him helpless.
After receiving Ji Xuanyi's instructions, Zhao Yuan looked at Sun Changyi who was still immersed in shock with a smile on his face, pretending to be emotional and said:
“While traveling through the countries in the lower reaches, this is the first time I have seen such a big figure as the disciples of the Baijia School.
I am still stuck in the difficulty of seeking the Tao all my life. If I can worship the Dharma lineage of hundreds of schools of thought, this life will be considered to be in vain. "
Sun Changyi nodded approvingly, with some emotion in his eyes.
"It is indeed the lifelong goal of every student to join hundreds of schools of thought."
"Brother Guan Sun has become a bachelor of Jixia at a young age. In the future, it should be easy for him to become a member of hundreds of schools of thought."
Sun Changyi was shocked when he heard this, waved his hands repeatedly and said:
"Brother Zhao still thinks highly of me. I am just an ordinary student in Jixia Academy. There are countless students who are as good as me in the academy.
Among each generation of students, only the most outstanding Jixia bachelors can join the lineage of hundreds of schools of thought.
On the other hand, Brother Zhao can travel to various countries as a wandering scholar and enter the realm of refining the void through the path of enlightenment. If he can cultivate quietly in the academy for a hundred years, he may have the opportunity to join the dharma lineage of hundreds of schools in the future. "
After hundreds of years of cultivation, maybe, these two words immediately made Ji Xuanyi and others' hearts sink.
Zhao Yuan is already the most promising person among them to join the various schools of thought, but even as Zhao Yuan's identity as Lord Lianxu, he still needs to cultivate for hundreds of years to gain a chance.
It is still unknown whether their trial time in the Luotian Dharma Assembly of all realms can exceed a hundred years.
Not to mention that Zhao Yuan did not comprehend the Dao and broke into the realm of refining the void at all. If he was found out and it would cause unnecessary trouble, it was unknown whether he could even keep his status as a bachelor of Jixia.
Everyone looked at each other, and Zhao Yuan asked Sun Changyi unwillingly:
"Brother Sun, is there no other way?"
"It is as difficult as ascending to heaven to worship the Dharma lineage of hundreds of schools, so how can there be a shortcut?"
Sun Changyi looked a little displeased, but then she thought of something, looked at the closed main city gate with a dazed expression, and changed her previous tone and said:
"However, it's not completely impossible."
Zhao Yuan looked excited and saluted: "Brother Sun, please teach me."
"Actually, this matter is hard to say and easy to say. The key problem lies in the Taoist disciple who just entered Jixia Academy.
Taoism, as one of the oldest schools among hundreds of schools of thought, has not appeared in the world for hundreds of years. That Taoist disciple is probably the last successor of Taoism.
Now that Taoism has re-entered the world, if you want to seek opportunities to strengthen the Taoist school, you will definitely need the help of many disciples.
If you can take the initiative to get closer to that Taoist disciple, you may be able to avoid all the trials and directly become a Taoist scholar. It is not impossible to even reach the sky and become the direct descendant of the Taoist disciple. "
As soon as Sun Changyi said these words, Ji Xuanyi and others looked excited.
Although they also knew that no matter how downcast Daozi was, he was still one of the hundreds of disciples, and it would not be easy to become his disciple.
But this is much better than going to Jixia Academy to seek a slim chance.
But Ji Xuanyi didn't know that the same conversation didn't happen only here.
Among the teams in Linzi City and outside the city, the testers from all walks of life have all found an opportunity to reach the sky in one step.
In their view, once they become disciples of Daozi, it means they will have the opportunity to come into contact with the greatest opportunity in Luotian Realm.
Testers from all sides are gearing up and are already eager to try.
But among all the forces, only Ji Zhaoyang, the third prince of Dayin, looked at Linzi City with a blank expression, doubts rising in his eyes.
"Why does the figure in the carriage feel inexplicably familiar?"
…
As they entered the golden bridge of the avenue, the dilapidated carriage had already landed in front of the gate of Jixia Academy.
In front of the gate, many erudite scholars from Jixia Academy are waiting here respectfully, and the aura around them clearly proves that they are all strong men in the Hedao realm.
Seeing the carriage stop, all the scholars said in unison:
"Congratulations to Daozi for his return to Jixia!"
There was silence in front of the gate of the academy. Neither the driver driving the carriage nor the figure inside the carriage made any response.
The scholars did not show any dissatisfaction and still stood and waited respectfully.
It was not until a long time later that Shen Yuan's voice was heard in the carriage.
"It is too early to discuss the Dao ceremony, and I will not enter the Jixia Academy for the time being."
Hearing this, although the scholars were surprised, the Jixia Academy's chief priest immediately stood up and said:
"Since Daozi does not want to enter the academy, we will not force him.
But Daozi still needs a place to rest. The academy still has several houses in Linzi City, which can be used as Daozi's resting place."
"Yes."
The plain response made the priest happy, and he quickly took the initiative to lead the way for Shen Yuan.
In the carriage, Shen Yuan carefully breathed a sigh of relief, sorting out the shocking pictures before.
Before coming to Linzi, Shen Yuan had no knowledge of his identity as a scholar of the Hundred Schools, and the information he knew was only from the driver.
Because of this shabby carriage and the driver's words, Shen Yuan instinctively thought that this so-called scholar of the Hundred Schools was not a big shot.
But after arriving in Linzi, the Jixia Dao bell rang twelve times, the main city gate opened and the immortals and gods came to welcome him. All these scenes made Shen Yuan sure that his title of "One of the Hundred Schools of Thought" was not as simple as he thought.
Especially when all parties called Shen Yuan "Taoist Daozi", Shen Yuan was shocked.
You must know that this is the Luotian Realm opened up by the Supreme Taoist Ancestor's preaching. Tao has an extraordinary meaning in Luotian Realm, and Shen Yuan's identity as a Taoist Daozi is definitely not ordinary.
This made Shen Yuan think of the last picture when he entered Luotian Realm.
The corpse was preaching the Tao, and he sat on the Tao Fruit throne and fell into Luotian Realm.
"Could it be that Luotian Realm is the essence of the Supreme Taoist preaching.
And I was able to get the identity of the Taoist Daozi because of the influence of the Tao Fruit throne?"
The more he concentrated on thinking, the more Shen Yuan felt that this possibility was very high.
"If I hold the Dao Fruit Great Position and become a Taoist Son, then do the other Hundred Schools of Taoism also correspond to the holders of other Dao Fruit Great Positions?"
Thinking of this, Shen Yuan was suddenly shocked.
Except for himself, the fake Emperor Donghua, the other nine Dao Fruit Great Positions are all Daluo Realm masters who are famous in all realms.
If this is true, then the degree of terror represented by the Hundred Schools of Taoism is far beyond the world's cognition.
"However, since the Supreme Dao Ancestor is preaching, there must be restrictions on other Daluo masters in this Luotian Realm, otherwise the physical bodies of Daluo masters alone will be enough to burst the Luotian Realm.
This is actually a great benefit to me."
After calming down a little, Shen Yuan then discovered another thing that puzzled him.
The Hundred Schools of Taoism are prosperous. Although there are not many direct members of the Hundred Schools of Taoism, the size of the Hundred Schools of Taoism should not be underestimated.
But it seems that only Shen Yuan is left in the Taoist school where Shen Yuan is, which is completely incompatible with the name of the Hundred Schools of Taoism.
"As both of them are Daoguo Dazu, why do they have great power at the beginning, while I am alone?
Is my Daoguo Dazu worse than theirs?"
Shen Yuan thought indignantly, but then he was stunned.
He suddenly remembered that he had used Daoguo Dazu to comprehend the Dao Dharma and frantically fleeced the sheep in the land of preaching, which caused the Dao rhyme of Daoguo Dazu to be incomplete.
"I am the only one left in the Dao family. Is it because I have fled all the sheep myself?"
