The Sword of Smiling and Proud

Chapter 119 Huashan Guanyuan, Meet the Celestial Master

"Who is it!" He swung his palm back, and the wind parted the leaves of the dense forest, revealing a figure.

The man was dressed in a humane way, in his 20s, with his hands hanging down, covered in a large Taoist robe.The sun was blocked by the dense forest, and under the colorful shadows of the trees, this person looked cold and expressionless, and seemed not very interested in everything around him.

Guan Yuan recognized him, he was the only one who surrounded Zhang Tianshi just now.

"Master Daoist, what are you doing here if you're not cultivating on the mountain?"

"Are you from the imperial court?" The man answered irrelevantly and approached slowly. "Looking at your behavior, you don't look like a Taoist priest."

"No." Guan Yuan's answer also made him stunned.

"Then why did you knock them out?"

"Did you hear their plan?" Guan Yuan asked back.

The man nodded slightly, and stopped a foot in front of Guan Yuan, "It seems that you and I are friends rather than enemies."

Just when Guan Yuan was about to further explain his identity, the Taoist figure moved, raised his palm and rushed towards him, so fast that there was almost an afterimage.

The distance was so close and the speed was so fast, Guan Yuan had no time to fight back, so he could only dodge sideways.

Dodging the Taoist's attack, Guan Yuan took an empty step, his figure was erratic, and he slapped out with a palm.Carrying the internal force of great innate skills, before the palm touched the body, the astonishing palm wind rushed towards the Taoist.

I saw the other party lightly tapped his toes, like a dragonfly touching water, his body spun violently, and his long sleeves drew a semicircle.Under the wide Taoist robe, a palm suddenly protruded and met Guan Yuan's palm.

Both sides feel that the other's inner strength is strong, like a rushing river, they don't know the reality, they dare not directly compete with each other's palm strength, they will withdraw after the slightest touch, and each leaps several feet away.

The two faced each other, and the surroundings were very quiet, and they heard the water drops falling from the leaves and smashing on the bluestone.

Guan Yuan's body tensed up, his eyes were like torches, as if he wanted to use his eyes to compete with his opponent's internal strength.

"Daozhang, why is this?" Guan Yuan was a little puzzled.

Seeing that he couldn't hold Guan Yuan, the Taoist suddenly stood up straight and seemed to relax.Guan Yuan didn't dare to be careless, the Taoist flicked his long sleeves, and his steps were blocked by the sleeves.He didn't turn his head back, and faced Guan Yuan, he jumped back a few feet away, and his figure shuttled between the mountains and forests like fluttering catkins.

"Quanzhen successor, well-deserved reputation."

Although the competition between the two was in the air, it seemed to have taken a long time. Guan Yuan felt a little regretful, as he still didn't know the name of this Taoist.

However, he still has some guesses about the appearance of the other party.

There are also people in Tianshi's mansion who are smart. Seeing that the people in Ning Wang's mansion looked bad after being rejected, they know that there will be follow-up to this matter.Sending out this Taoist priest with high martial arts skills may coincide with his own plan.

The man guessed the origin of his Quanzhen sect from his movements, and wanted to compete with himself to see whether Zhengyi was better or Quanzhen was better.

As for why they left later, it should be because they have found out that the strength of the two is comparable, so let's stop.

Guan Yuan turned his head to look at Director Liu of King Ning's Mansion who was still lying dead on the ground, thinking that it would not be good to kill him with a single sword, so he manipulated it and left gracefully.

In the middle of the night, when Director Liu came back to his senses, he felt a severe pain in the back of his head. When he looked down, he was actually trapped naked on top of a giant tree.

A terrified cry woke up many sleeping birds and beasts.

It took a long time for the people in Prince Ning's Mansion to break free from the shackles, and fled down the mountain without stopping, never daring to show their faces nearby again.

……

The next day, Guan Yuan went to Sanqing Temple again.

At this time, the lecture was over, and the Taoists had all dispersed, leaving only a few who were close to the Tianshi Mansion, still staying here.

Guan Yuan thought to himself, why not reveal his identity directly, come to visit and see the demeanor of the celestial master.

He didn't wear Taoist robes anymore, he just dressed as a Huashan disciple and knocked on the door to enter.

The Taoist guarding the gate took Guan Yuan to the side hall, where the celestial master was yesterday, and asked him to wait for a while before leaving.

Guan Yuan came to visit the celestial master, not for anything else, just to fulfill his dream in his previous life.After all, that golden light curse, the strange theory, opened Guan Yuan's eyes.If I could meet the real person of Tianshi and catch a glimpse of his beauty, it would not be in vain for me to come to this world once.

Of course, the celestial master in the Zhengde period of the Ming Dynasty is not the fictional Zhang Zhiwei, but the No. 40 eighth-generation celestial master, Zhang Yanshuo, whose name is Shizhan, and whose name is Zhanran.

Before that, his father, Zhang Yuanqing, a celestial master of the previous generation, had abnormal signs when he was born. He was erudite and proficient in literature and poetry.During the Hongzhi period, the emperor ordered him to pray for snow in the Chaotian Palace, and it snowed heavily the next day.Everyone admired him and called him Dazheng.

As for the celestial master himself, no anecdote has come out yet, and he is very low-key.

Guan Yuan waited for a while, then a few people turned around from the inner room, it was Zhang Tianshi whom he saw yesterday.

Looking closely at the Celestial Master, Guan Yuan noticed something different.

In his impression, the celestial masters were gray-haired and energetic old Taoist priests, but the Zhang Yanshuo Zhang celestial master in front of him was young, no more than thirty, with a beard on his face, bright eyes, and vigorous spirit.

Stereotypes are bad, who hasn't been young yet.

Zhang Tianshi was smiling, and he was not the image of a serious religious leader who was difficult to get close to.

"Guan Layman, I am so polite." The Celestial Master made a salutation and exchanged greetings.

"Huashan Guan Yuan, pay homage to the Celestial Master." Guan Yuan cupped his fists and made a quack salute.

"I heard that Layman Guan is still the descendant of Quanzhen's lineage. He is really destined for Taoism."

It seems that the Tianshi Mansion has already known what he did yesterday, and the two sides have a tacit understanding, and they don't intend to mention this matter.

"The younger generation learns from the Huashan School Gentleman's Sword, which was inherited by Master Hao from Guangning before. It can be regarded as the lineage of Beiquanzhen, but it has only practiced martial arts, and has not become a monk to learn Taoism. When I visited Sanqing Mountain, I heard that the celestial master preached here. , come to visit."

"Whether it's martial arts, or practice, or what Quanzhen is one, it's all in the same line of Taoism." There is no difference between schools and schools of thought in heavenly masters.In his eyes, whether it is true or true, there are thousands of paths and the same goal.

Those dirty things, in front of the big goal of becoming a fairy and attaining the Tao, have long been ignored by the Tianshi Mansion.

Although Guan Yuan did not become a monk to practice Taoism, he also read a lot of Taoism scriptures in order to practice martial arts when he was young.After staying in the Sutra Pavilion of the Huashan School for so long, I even read a lot of Taoist notes.

In this way, when the two of Guan Yuan chatted, they wouldn't be in the opposite direction, and their words would not be speculative.

During the conversation, the two also chatted about martial arts.

The essence of Zhengyi is still Taoism, and internal strength is only for strengthening the body. As for martial arts, he is not proficient.Among the celestial masters of all dynasties, there are even a few who don't know martial arts at all.

However, because Taoists are generally proficient in the method of exhaling and exhaling, and they mostly live in high mountains and deep valleys, there are many people with profound internal skills, who generally exist as guardians in the sect.

The cold-faced Taoist priest Guan Yuan met before, with profound internal strength and high martial arts skills, was probably like this.
