Chapter 0955: The Third Place Servant Rimang
After the founders Kun Chuan and Zuo Liuying, the third Taoist priest Fu Rimang was born. Before that, he was neither a high-level Taoist priest like Fu Yuemang or Zhu Shen nor a genius with extraordinary understanding. The moment Kun Chao came to the world, he He is just an ordinary Wangshan Tunyan Taoist priest who practices diligently and improves his realm step by step.
His name is Shi Hanyuan.
Most of the people in the Daotong Tower were in various states of meditation, while a few people were reading books and preparing for the next round of meditation. In this silence, the unknown Taoist priest broke through the last obstacle, and the sun shone from two sides. The eyes poured into the Niwan Palace, and then the meridians spread throughout the body.
Almost no one noticed such a big thing. Only Zuo Liuying, who was sitting on the eighth floor of the tower, had an idea. He had been paying attention to this Taoist priest for some time and immediately sent an invitation to him using the method of traveling.
Shi Hanyuan walked out of his practice room, climbed up the stairs, nodded politely to everyone he met, and walked all the way to Zuo Liuying's room. He stood at the door for a moment before stepping in.
He is one hundred and ninety-one years old this year, and looks about fifty years old. His beard and hair are half gray, and his expression is aloof. It is not the aloofness of someone who has been in a high position for a long time, but is the reticence of someone whose family background is declining and whose talents are not appreciated: others do not pay attention to them. They don't pay attention to others, they stand quietly on the edge and guard in the corner, and would rather act as indifferent bystanders that no one likes in the bustle.
"The Shi family has been hidden for more than seven thousand years." Zuo Liuying said. He has the family records of all the disciples of the Nine Dao Traditions. The Shi family is one of the ancient Dao Tradition surnames. It was once on par with the Shen and Yang families, but has long since declined. Unfortunately, the last Taoist priest above spiritual concentration appeared more than 7,000 years ago, and since then there have been only a few Xingluo Taoist priests.
Shi Hanyuan was nearly 200 years old and was still in the state of smoking, which was considered normal among his family. He then improved his state to the state of smoking in less than a year. The speed was unprecedented, especially since he had no adventure. What he did All I have to do is think silently.
"The Zuo family only produced one Zuo Liuying." Shi Hanyuan's tone contained a hint of sarcasm, lacking the composure that a Taoist priest from Fu Rimang should have.
Both refused to talk in a fugue anymore.
"The Patriarch chose me. Shi Hanyuan turned to look at the incense burner in the corner. It had not emitted smoke for a while, "Because I come from an ancient Taoist family, I am loyal and trustworthy, and I can accept the Patriarch's magic without reservation. "
Zuo Liuying stared at Shi Hanyuan, "In the past, Dao Tong called your state of painting calamity - you are addicted to your own portrait, and you would add one or two strokes to the painting from time to time to make it more perfect, but the difference between it and yourself. Getting bigger."
"Jealous, even Zuo Liuying, who has no Taoist heart, will be jealous." Shi Hanyuan's smile was also aloof, but more confident than before, "The ancestor's magic is like rain and dew, everyone in the world gets it, only those who are open-minded will benefit. At most, it's a pity that people are complacent, and very few people are willing to give up part of it. Even the master who obeys Yuemang is unwilling to give up the last bit of 'my heart'. You are the first person to understand this, but outside of your heart. You have a bad intention, and the Patriarch has no choice but to use you. I am the second comprehender, more pure and loyal than you, so it is up to me to uphold the Patriarch's will, and you can withdraw. "
"The magic weapon can only accommodate it, but cannot uphold it." In Zuo Liuying's view, Shi Hanyuan can no longer be called a true Taoist priest.
The two stared at each other for a while, then raised their hands to attack.
No visible spells were emitted from the fingers, only a small red dot appeared in the middle of the two people, as if there was an invisible thin line connecting the two fingers more than ten steps apart, and hanging in the middle. A ruby.
The two were in a stalemate for a while, and the red dot began to expand, gradually turning into a fireball about a foot in diameter. From then on, they were in a stalemate again.
"The Patriarch has never believed in you and let you do whatever you want because everything is under the control of the Patriarch." Shi Hanyuan was a little excited. From swallowing cigarettes to taking sunflower, the change was so big that he couldn't bear it. "You will The rebellious Taoist priest sent Mu Xingqiu to the Devil's Cave just because he was worried that he would lose his original intention, so he gave him a group of companions. The founder had a clear dream about this, so he took away the nine treasures and hid them in an unknown place. Strengthen the Demon Cave again, and no matter where the prisoners are hiding, they will not be able to escape from the Demon Cave.”
Shi Hanyuan gradually got used to his own strength, and the expression on his face became dull, "The Patriarch has another move, can you guess it?"
"He wants to destroy the Demon Cave. Zuo Liuying said.
Shi Hanyuan's eyes turned from dull to cold. When the fight is evenly matched, destroying the opponent's state of mind is the necessary means to win, but until now he has not succeeded. Zuo Liuying obviously does not have the heart of a Taoist priest, but he is stronger than any Taoist priest.
"The founder originally wanted to refine Mu Xingqiu's soul, but he came up with other ways to find the demon soul. Mu Xingqiu was useless, and pulling out the demon cave was useless."
Zuo Liuying remained calm, and the fingers hanging in front of him moved slightly. The fireball suddenly expanded dozens of times, engulfing the entire room. The two Taoist priests stood in the fire and continued to fight.
The flames burned out the truth. The Taoist Tower was composed of countless spells. The light wandered endlessly in the middle of the wall. A dozen spells of light could be stepped on under one foot.
Even Taoist priest Fu Rimang can only see the light and cannot distinguish more details inside.
The tower was shaking, Xuan Hanyuan closed his mouth, and had no energy to attack with words. After a while, he took a step back, the corner of his mouth twitched, then took another step back, his face turned red, and he took another step back, his eyes widened, and he stepped back. In the fourth step, sweat beaded on his forehead. In the fifth step, he exited the room. The fight ended and the Daotong Tower returned to normal.
Zuo Liuying repelled his opponent, but failed to kill him.
Shi Hanyuan took three breaths and said to Zuo Liuying in the room: "Okay, you are still useful to the master for the time being, the room belongs to you, I will find another way to achieve the master's wishes."
"You have been implanted with the residual soul of another person." Zuo Liuying said that he found something strange during the battle. Shi Hanyuan's soul was hidden and had something more than a normal person.
"That was a gift from the master." Shi Hanyuan closed the white door heavily. With him, this door did not need to be opened.
The vibration of the tower just now has awakened many Taoists, who came out from the towers on all levels one after another to listen to this strange call. Two Taoists serving Yuemang were particularly surprised. They had been ordered to attack Yelin Town and would set off in a few days, but now there was an inexplicable commander.
"I am Shi Hanyuan. The ancestor chose me to carry out his war plan. Come, sober Taoist priests, come with me to purify this world. The end of demons has come!"
Shi Hanyuan flew out of the Taoist Tower and floated in the air, holding a sword in one hand and a bell in the other, and uttered a solemn voice: "Practitioners, it's time to fight."
His voice contained endless mana. The two Taoist priests wearing Yuemang were the first to feel the power of it. They flew out of the Taoist Tower and guarded on both sides. They were slightly lower, so more Taoist priests came out of the tower and lined up around Shi Hanyuan.
There were more than 3,000 Taoist priests who obeyed the call. Shi Hanyuan was very satisfied. The Taoist priests who stayed in the tower were either too low in realm to be used or too high to obey orders. The Taoist priests around him were the fighting essence of the Taoist tradition.
Shi Hanyuan shook the golden bell in his left hand, and the sound of the bell spread thousands of miles away. The plain sword in his right hand intimidated the hearts of thousands of people.
The practitioners inside and outside the imperial capital also felt the magic in the voice, and they all rose into the air and bowed to the Taoists from afar. The number reached more than 50,000.
This day was the end of May. The last batch of 500 Taoists set off for Yelin Town more than half a month ago. A real Taoist army set off.
Millions of mortals inside and outside the imperial capital looked up and saw the immortals with golden light all over their bodies lined up like a long dragon, moving towards the northwest at a very fast speed. After the team passed, the golden light continued to stay until three days later.
It was during these three days that the Emperor Ci issued a series of orders. He wanted to lead the army in person and start a war with the demon clan in advance. The last batch of troops set off one after another, and the imperial capital was empty, leaving only women and children.
Zuo Liuying still came to visit Zeng Fu and Qilin as promised.
"Can't you stop this war?" Zeng Fu asked as soon as they met.
Zuo Liuying shook his head, "I can't go against the intention of the ancestor. Only in this way can I survive and gain strength."
"But what's the use of this? Once the war starts, everyone will die." Zeng Fu sighed, knowing that he shouldn't blame Zuo Liuying, "Are there really many people going to die?"
"It's inevitable. Maybe it can be reduced a little."
"Do you have a way?" Zeng Fu hugged the Qilin's neck. It has grown to the size of an adult deer, with its silver horns shining brightly. Just like when he was a child, he always wanted to run to Zuo Liuying and rub against him.
"I need you to do me a favor."
"Me? I'm willing to help, but I don't seem to have any skills."
"I just want you to send a message. I can't find any reliable helpers among the Taoists."
"Okay, tell me, I'll definitely send it."
"You can also ask other people for help, but it must be the person you trust the most."
"It's me, tell me quickly, what message? Who is it for?"
"Send it to Yang Qingyin in Yelin Town, tell her that the ancestor brought out the soul of Shen Geng from the Demon Cave, the most selfish, cruel, and solid soul, and divided it into several parts to shape the murderous heart of the strong. Taoist Shi Hanyuan is one, and the three-soul monster is probably another, or there may be others. "
Zeng Fu was stunned, "The soul can be divided into several parts? What kind of magic is this?"
"What others can't do, the master can. These residual souls will lead all parties to fight each other. He wants to cause chaos in the world, make people restless, and force the demon soul to awaken in advance."
"Oh my God, the master... can Mu Xingqiu really break through the Demon Cave and come out to defeat the master?"
"I'm not worried about Mu Xingqiu's strength, I'm just worried that he will change his mind at the last moment like Kun Dun."
Zuo Liuying sent a large number of innocent Taoists to the Demon Cave to help Mu Xingqiu. He didn't know that at this moment, Mu Xingqiu was practicing alone in a pearl, with no one around him.
