With magical powers, I can quietly meditate on sutras for hundreds of years and become an immortal.

Chapter 169 Returning to the Capital

Li Zhen readily agreed to Bai Hu's request.

Ever since.

One person and one fox squatted under the ginkgo tree with their heads buried in the ground.

We had a serious and intense discussion all night about the tips for polishing utensils.

Until the moon is in the middle of the sky, when it is late at night and everyone is quiet.

He sat quietly under the tree and began to seriously consider what Ma Qianli said during the day.

Capital

Should I go back or not?

Should he get involved in the current muddy waters between Dazhou and the sect?

For a while, it was a bit difficult to make a decision.

During this period, Li Zhen didn't think that he could just pretend he didn't see it.

Li Zhen needs to consider and think slowly.

Even though Ma Qianli was anxious.

Just close your eyes and close your ears.

He didn't stop.

My teacher has never been involved in court affairs, and he doesn't want to have anything to do with them.

[You try to use boxing to engrave your understanding of the principles of yin and yang on it, and with a flash of inspiration, you deduce the characters: yin and yang]

It's as if two different characters are outlined in the pupils.

just

Things often cannot be considered so simply.

Until an idea flashed on the Hunyuan Pearl floating in front of his chest.

"Who said that?"

There may be many things in it that even he doesn't know.

Ignore it.

He raised his head and looked eagerly at Li Zhen.

It is said that?

Stay quietly in Yuanjun Temple and ignore foreign affairs.

[You have been polishing a weapon for many years, your true energy is flowing and your mind is connected. You seem to have understood some of the mysteries of weapon refining]

Some of the irritable thoughts gradually calmed down at this time.

If there is no rejection, then there is still hope.

and so.

"Er Qing said it."

Just like he didn't give Ma Qianli a negative answer at the first time.

Li Zhen let out a sigh of relief.

Instead, he continued to hit him a few more times.

Ma Qianli had no choice but to calm down the worried thoughts in his heart.

Now I want him to suddenly change his past rules.

Wait and stay indifferent for decades.

What bad guy is spreading rumors?

Li Zhen was stunned for a moment and opened his eyes.

Holding a long iron stone bar in a pair of small paws, it jumped on the recliner where Li Zhen often sat.

The slightly closed eyes suddenly opened, and there was an entanglement of light and dark, black and white.

But precisely because of this, he gained a little more confidence out of thin air.

It has been this way for decades and it has never changed.

Until the voice of the white fox reached my ears.

"I heard you are leaving."

By then, everything must have been settled.

While silently cultivating his current soul body, he quietly waited for Li Zhen's decision.

He stayed in the cellar carefully prepared by Li Zhen.

It's very simple, nothing difficult.

And all of these take time.

No matter who wins or loses, it has nothing to do with him, Mr. Li Daozhang.

But Ma Qianli also understood in his heart.

The difficulty can be imagined.

"It says that every time you see that person named Ma Qianli, nothing good will happen."

"So I was wondering if you were leaving soon."

Li Zhen was silent for a moment.

After all, it is our own cow.

You still need to understand him better than the foxes outside.

Although this sounds like he is a little biased.

But from Er Qing's perspective, it seems to be pretty good.

Every time after seeing Ma Qianli.

What he brings to himself is never good news.

But this time, something is different.

There is no immortal dynasty in the world.

Therefore, the change of imperial power is a normal thing in his opinion.

Even if the Great Zhou Dynasty really perishes one day, Li Zhen wouldn't be too surprised.

Just saying goodbye, there is no way to escape the reincarnation of the dynasty.

But the current situation is different after all.

The Great Zhou Dynasty was not at the end of its dynasty. The emperor's rebellious behavior aroused the anger of heaven and earth, and revolted across the land.

What is causing trouble right now is relying on the secular world.

But it is not entirely a secular religion!

Once these people become successful.

It wasn't just the emperor and dignitaries who were unlucky.

and also

Hundreds of millions of ordinary people in this great Zhou world.

When the imperial court was overthrown.

When the sect became the master of this land.

What can be expected is that the world will not be peaceful at that time.

Instead, they will fall into an even more chaotic situation due to the competition for incense and belief.

Even more so because of the wars that broke out between different sects.

As a result, the people of the world once again withered.

We just survived the rain and floods.

Common people are experiencing the impact of changes in the new era.

What evil did they commit in their previous lives?

You have to come to the human world to endure these changes one after another.

It seems that there is no such extremely unfair truth in the world.

Li Zhen didn't want to fight injustice for everyone in the world.

He can't.

It’s just that I have lived longer, traveled more roads, and seen more.

At some point, it is inevitable that you will be touched.

You will want to try your best to avoid some things within your ability.

Li Zhenfei is a fairy in the mountains.

They are just people who are constantly pursuing the path of immortality.

His human emotions have not yet been worn away by the long and boring years.

Therefore.

People do something and don't do something.

And when Li Zhen was thinking about this place.

The seedling in the dantian swayed silently a few times.

So, he understood.

This time it was the disaster of the Emperor of Zhou Dynasty.

It is a disaster for hundreds of millions of people in the world.

Likewise, it was also Li Zhen's calamity.

It's just that Li Zhen has always been a person who doesn't like trouble.

This time when I go east and return to Beijing, things will not be solved so easily.

Zhao Ping will not compromise.

Right now, he has the sect's knife held to his neck, and his life hangs by a thread.

Ordinary people understand that revenge cannot be overnight.

What's more, the king of a huge country?

And the sects will certainly not compromise.

Because there is an essentially irreconcilable conflict between them and the court.

The two fight against each other.

The fall of one party must be the end of the matter.

"Could it be that"

"Do you really want a poor Taoist to show his holiness and suppress all the disobedient people?"

Li Zhen scratched his head and had a headache.

But in the end.

He still stepped forward and patted the white fox on the head, making a decision in his mind.

"Yeah~"

"Something big has happened somewhere else, and I have to go out and do it. You said this is causing trouble."

"Do you have to go?"

The little fox asked with some confusion, his eyes shining brightly.

"Oh, there's no way."

"If the poor don't go, they don't have the ability to solve it, you know."

arctic fox:.

It was installed by you.

then.

In the forty-fifth year of Jingming.

The second day of February is the day when the dragon raises its head.

Li Zhen let Zi Zi give him a haircut and put on new clothes.

Get on Erqing and embark on the journey.

This trip, return east.

Li Zhen remembers it clearly.

The year he left the capital was the twenty-sixth year of Jingming.

It rained heavily that year.

Completely reveal the existence of inspiration to the world.

At the same time, it has also brought countless disasters to countless people around the world.

That year, countless people were flooded by rain and buried under the sand.

It was also in this year.

Li Zhen embarked on the path of pursuing the first calamity of his spiritual practice. Now the old calamity has long been over.

He finally made his way home.

This trip is not just for the countless ordinary people in the Great Zhou Dynasty.

It is also for my own practice.

However.

What kind of disaster will be in front of you?

Li Zhen doesn't know.

While being vigilant and taking it seriously, we are also hopeful.

only.

When he returned to Beijing this time, he did not bring nature and briquettes with him, let alone the white fox.

Together with Ma Qianli, who had taken over the teaching duties in the temple, they were thrown into Yuanjun Temple by Li Zhen.

They have quite different opinions on this.

But alas, it was of no use.

This trip back to Beijing is not about drinking tea and talking.

In general, there is no way to escape being beaten and killed.

Taking them with you will eventually be a bit stumbling.

Simply, I will stay here for the time being.

It's not too late to return after the situation calms down.

As for the white fox.

It had no intention of leaving with Li Zhen.

Yuanjun Temple is its home and its place of practice.

It is inseparable from Yuanjun Temple.

Yuanjun Temple is also inseparable from it.

This is its practice, and Li Zhen will not interfere.

He always believed in one thing.

Every farewell is for a better encounter next time.

He looked forward to it.

The next time we meet again, we will see a different little fox.

Li Zhen thought so in his heart.

Erqing spent less than half a month.

I just rushed back to the capital from Yuanjun Temple.

This made Li Zhen complain a little.

From time to time, I would complain that this lazy cow had slacked off over the years and his cultivation had not improved.

Why don't you study hard and practice hard to learn how to eat?

How can this be done!

Later, we must give this lazy thing a hard push.

As for now

Let's make do with it first.

We finally arrived, and it seemed like there was no delay.

Li Zhen looked at the capital, whose appearance had not changed much.

Without saying anything, he went straight into the city.

I didn’t go looking for anyone, I didn’t go to see anyone

Go directly to Xianming Mountain.

But he was not in a hurry to return to Chuixiang Tower, but went to Tiandu Peak.

Standing there and looking away, you can take in the entire capital in its entirety.

From the twenty-sixth year of Jingming to the forty-fifth year of Jingming.

Nineteen years were not enough time to bring about many changes in the capital of a feudal empire.

The scenery remains the same, the carriages and horses remain the same.

just

Unknowingly, there seemed to be more temples.

It also seems that there are more tall and useless open-air Buddha statues.

Glittering gold.

It doesn't look like anything else.

Just one word, broad.

"As expected of the great monks, they are really rich."

Li Zhen muttered.

It seems that I understand why everyone is unwilling to see Buddhism enter the Central Plains.

Only nineteen short years have passed.

This ability to make money is really unique.

In addition, there are clouds of incense that can be seen everywhere.

It’s not just Buddhism and it’s not just Taoism.

There are also some miscellaneous smoke clouds overflowing in the cracks.

The National Fortune Golden Dragon higher up also seems to have become stronger.

But Li Zhen always felt that this thing

Apart from looking good, it has no other use.

Someone had secretly intercepted the national destiny before, and we couldn't find out who did it.

And now, he is even vaguely aware of the crisis, and he is constantly circling and whistling in the air, looking very irritable.

However, it was just incompetence and rage.

After a few glances, Li Zhen withdrew his gaze with some boredom.

He turned his eyes back.

Skipping the mountains and forests behind, looking towards the endless lake.

I saw the figures setting up camp by the lake.

I was a little stunned for a moment.

What do you mean?

Didn't you guys say that you want to fight Zhao Ping at the top of the Forbidden City?

Don't trouble him now.

Instead, they surrounded Pindao's tortoise from behind.

What does this mean?

You think Pindao is easy to bully, right?

A bit of nameless anger arose in my heart.

Li Zhen no longer needs Erqing to take his place, but pats his butt.

next moment.

Soaring into the sky.

Direct flight to Houshan Dahu.

"Who?"

"who!"

There was a loud sound.

Along with a roaring air wave, Li Zhen landed on the edge of the lake shore.

Behind him is Changsheng with his head buried in the water.

At the same time, there were figures one after another with an aura that would be terrifying to ordinary people.

People came out from various camps and gathered together.

Li Zhen took a look and saw that he looked familiar.

But most of them don’t know them.

"Fellow Daoist Li, you are finally back."

Taoist Wentian, dressed in fluttering green clothes, stood on the other side of the opposition.

Just now, he was the one confronting everyone.

At the same time, it is also protecting immortality.

"Thank you, Taoist Priest, for helping Pindao take care of my troubled turtle."

Li Zhen nodded to him and expressed his gratitude.

But he didn't say anything more.

But after that, his eyes coldly swept across the strangely dressed figures in front of him.

Among them, Su Ruirui was prominently listed.

When their eyes met, she slowly moved away a little.

I don't know if her sister's condition is getting better.

But now is not the time to communicate, and Li Zhen did not reveal that he knew her.

"Your spirit turtle?"

"joke."

A man who looked like a boy and a girl and was also wearing women's clothes stood up first and sneered.

The person who spoke was the leader of the Three Immortals Sect: Xie Yan.

It is said that he has built a two-foot-long golden body and is a first-class strongman among many sects.

This time, he was the first to discover Changsheng's figure in the lake.

Hearing this, Li Zhen didn't reply.

A sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth.

Looking around, there is a sea of ​​human heads.

There are quite a few people with similar strength to the person speaking, there are five or six of them.

The rest are just a little bit different.

But.

His eyes inadvertently swept over an inconspicuous middle-aged man in the corner.

Li Zhen's eyes flashed with deep meaning.

This person is very hidden.

If nothing unexpected happens, it should be Faqing, the leader of the Wenxiang Sect.

Quite arrogant.

As a party hated by both Da Zhou and the sects.

Instead of hiding in the dark, he actually dared to come out and show his face.

But it's not surprising.

With his strength, even if he was discovered, it was really impossible to keep him.

It's a pity that you met Pindao.

He laughed in his heart, thinking of cutting through the mess with a quick knife.

It just so happens that people are quite popular now, so it saves trouble to serve everything in one pot.

At this moment, Xie Yan jumped out and pointed at his nose and said:

"Spiritual creatures are naturally raised, who can tame them?"

"Taoist priest named Li, you'd better tell me something, otherwise."

"Hmph~"

Two puffs of cold air came out of his nose.

He crossed his arms with both hands and looked up at Li Zhen.

His tone was arrogant and his mood was cold.

I have to say that there is something a little bit aloof about the deity in his posture.

What these words said made Li Zhen very unhappy.

It's okay if I don't hold you accountable for the fact that you, a group of unemployed refugees, built a residence here without permission and disturbed the nearby residents.

You kid now wants to prove that my things are mine!

OK OK.

Pindao will give you a good talk now.

Li Zhen smoothed his sleeves and took a step forward.

Behind him, Changsheng has never shown his face.

At some point, a pair of green eyes quietly peeked out.
