Myths and Dharma, starting from Erlang Shen

Chapter 308 Come to meet your Uncle Ji Ren

"Isn't the immortal joking?"

Ji Ren looked at Ge Xianweng and said.

Lingbao Sect, the second sect in Daqi, has nearly one hundred thousand disciples spread all over Daqi, and has tens of millions of followers, not counting the disciples from the other five countries.

After all, many people in other countries also believe in it.

"No, although the old Taoist likes to tease children, he will not joke about things like the deputy head." Ge Xianweng said.

"Is the immortal trying to use this to offset the favor?" Ji Ren said.

"Part of it. A mere deputy head is not enough to offset such a huge favor." Ge Xianweng said.

"Then I refuse." Ji Ren said.

"Huh?" The smile on Ge Xianweng's face faltered and he said, "Did you hear clearly? I am talking about the deputy head of my Lingbao sect. Our Lingbao sect has many masters all over the country, and you have become the deputy head. After you become the leader, all the powerful ones below you and above ten thousand people will obey your orders.”

"Young man has such a calm mind. You should join our Lingbao Sect. You will definitely shine in Taoist practice in the future." After hearing Ji Ren's answer, Ge Xianweng smiled and nodded.

Everyone was shocked. This situation was completely different from what they thought.

You are completely unreasonable.

Ji Ren glanced at Ge Xianweng warily.

Listening to Ji Ren's words, Ge Xianweng thought it seemed reasonable. He thought about it and said, "How about I owe you a favor?"

What do I want from you, the deputy head of the Lingbao Sect in name only?
No, I am the deputy head, and I have to manage these Taoist priests who started to be self-righteous because of your breakthrough, and then you lost your favors. In the end, your sect became better and you owed me less favors. Such a thing that kills two birds with one stone, you can make a lot of money. .

After all, it’s the boss who owes the debt.

At this time, Ge Xianweng's voice sounded again.

In a sense, it is better to owe a favor to a boss than a favor that the boss owes you.

"No, kindness turns into hatred, that's good." Ji Ren said.

"I am not a direct descendant of the Lingbao Sect, so suddenly becoming the deputy head of the Lingbao Sect will definitely make people unhappy. The powerful King of Heaven has his own dignity. Most of them will not listen to my orders. When the time comes, if I force the order, they will be displeased. I will arouse the resentment of the Heavenly King, and there may be all kinds of messy conspiracies and calculations. What kind of trouble will that be? There will be people like my senior junior brothers and nephews who will regard me as a thorn in their side, and then rely on my good relationship with the immortal. Are you going to take the risk to kill me? If I don't kill him then, it's impossible. If I kill him, the immortal will inevitably blame me. In this case, I will not get the benefits, but I will lose the favor of the immortal in vain. It's a completely loss-making deal, why should I agree?" Ji Ren asked.

"If the temple is small, then build it bigger." Ge Xianweng smiled faintly, then looked at the Lingbao sect masters who were still kneeling below and said, "Violate the rules of Taiping Academy, offend Zhuge Yuquan, and break in without permission. You will be punished by kneeling for a quarter of an hour. "

The old cow's nose is very bad.

He said simply, without shouting loudly, but it was clearly heard in everyone's ears.

Although this news has proved everything, after all, it still needs to be confirmed by myself.

"Master, have you achieved extraordinary breakthrough?" A white-haired old Taoist wearing a soap-colored Taoist robe looked at Ge Xianweng and asked.

Because you owe the boss a favor, and the boss doesn't want you to die before you return the favor to him. But if the boss owes you a favor and is unlikely to repay it, it's better for you to die.

Everyone took action one after another and stepped onto the high ground. They saw that Ge Xianweng was full of energy and seemed to have divine light all over his body.

After some time, another Taoist priest from the Lingbao Sect came from outside. Looking at the Taoist priest from the Lingbao Sect kneeling on the ground, he looked puzzled. What's going on?
"Come up."

"The Lingbao Temple is small and cannot accommodate it," Zhuge Yuquan said.

Old man, that's enough for you, just pretend I don't exist.

"That's right, I have practiced for half my life, traveled to six countries, and finally achieved enlightenment here and achieved a transcendent breakthrough." Ge Xianweng nodded lightly and said with a smile.

"Congratulations to the leader on the breakthrough."

After receiving the personal confirmation from Ge Xianweng, everyone in the Lingbao sect was overjoyed, saluted and congratulated with joy, and their mouths were full of praises and blessings such as "enjoy immortal blessings forever, and live as long as heaven".
Ge Xianweng nodded slightly, accepted everyone's blessings, and then said calmly: "Just now, how many people entered Taiping Academy through the air when they entered from the outside, and who wanted to break in? Now they are all Tell me, is it because I haven’t been back to Daqi for too long and I have neglected your teachings, or do you think that Daqi can’t restrain you because I have achieved transcendence?”

Ge Xianweng's words were very soft, but when he said them, everyone felt their breath suffocated, as if someone was holding their throats, as if even heaven and earth were repelling them.

"Master, everyone was so happy because they found out about your breakthrough that they lost their sense of control. Please forgive me, Master." The old Taoist who spoke before noticed Ge Xianweng's anger and said bravely.

"My heart is filled with joy, and I lose all sense of proportion. Then where have all your years of practice gone? Or maybe, because I'm not here, your practice has slowed down?" Ge Xianweng said.

"The disciple is guilty."

The old Taoist didn't know how to argue, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and finally he knelt on the ground to plead guilty.

Upon seeing this, the other Taoist priests also knelt down, kowtowed and admitted their mistake, feeling terrified in their hearts.

A small number of them realized that their ancestors were promoted to extraordinary, and their mentality was indeed a little eccentric, but most of them were really too happy, so they suddenly forgot the rules. Although Taiping Academy's rule of not being allowed to fly, generally speaking He said that he secretly flew into the air without being caught, so he turned a blind eye, so he didn't pay attention, and this ended up causing such a scene.

"I, as monks, obey nature and others, understand heaven's heart with the human heart, and let the wind and clouds change. I remain firm and unmoved, and I am not shocked by honor or disgrace. But you behave in a panic. I know you are just happy to see me, an old man, making a breakthrough. I don't know. "Yes, I thought that because of my breakthrough, you wanted to overpower Taiping Dao, break into Taiping Academy, and overwhelm Taiping Dao and the majesty of the royal family," Ge Xianweng said.

"We have absolutely no such intention." The old Taoist said quickly. If you want to say that because of Ge Xianweng's breakthrough, everyone in the Lingbao sect is happy, and they will show off their power when they see the disciples of Taiping Dao in the future. Such thoughts are there, but it can be said that they will suppress Taiping Dao and the royal family. , this really doesn’t exist.

After all, Nanhua Old Immortal from Taiping Academy has been in this realm for who knows how many years, and Ge Xianweng will probably not be able to defeat him.

Moreover, as the real master of Daqi, Old Immortal Nanhua, most people here also respect Old Immortal Nanhua.

"It's fine if you don't have it, but the heart is one thing, thinking is another. If you don't have it, it doesn't mean that your disciples don't have it. Your disciples don't have it, but it doesn't mean that your disciples' families don't have it. Cultivation of immortality and mind, but in the secular world, You should also restrain the people around you," Ge Xianweng said.

All the Taoist priests bowed their heads obediently and did not dare to refute. "Immortal, they must have been happy for a while and lost their sense of proportion. Immortal spared them once, and I think they will change their ways in the future." Zhuge Qinglan on the side said in sympathy.

When the Taoist priests of the Lingbao Sect heard this, their eyes suddenly showed expressions of gratitude.

"Forget it, since the prime minister has opened the mouth of Chrysostom, I will spare you for once. After all of you go back, copy the Lingbao Sutra once. If you have not finished copying, you are not allowed to leave the Taoist temple." Ge Xianweng said.

"Master, are you copying the original version of the Lingbao Sutra or the later version?" asked the old Taoist.

The Lingbao Sutra is said to have been taught by Yuanshi Tianzun to Ge Xuan, the founder of the Lingbao Sect. Initially, there were only one article with several thousand words. It is not difficult to copy it. However, later people continued to add annotations and understandings, and it expanded to sixty. One article.

If it's the former, that's fine. If it's the latter, they don't know how long it will take before they can go out.

"Of course it's the current version, why don't you want it?" Ge Xianweng looked at the old Taoist and said.

"No, I am willing to do so. I can even copy it twice." The old Taoist said quickly.

"Okay, then you can copy it twice, so that no one will say that I am biased." Ge Xianweng said.

The smile on the old Taoist's face suddenly fell. If the occasion wasn't inappropriate, he would have slapped himself twice to make you talk too much.

When Ji Ren saw this scene, he shook his head in his heart. These Taoist priests are all honest people. If they don't have a clear explanation, then just make your own judgment. There is nothing you can do if you are asking for death now.

"Okay, you were happy before, but now you have calmed down. Get up and salute your uncle Jinxia and the prime minister and brothers Ji Ren." Ge Xianweng said.

"Senior Brother Ji Ren?" When the old Taoist heard this, his eyes suddenly popped up and he looked in disbelief. He called him "Senior Uncle Zhuge Yuquan". After all, he was the Prime Minister's uncle. He called him "Senior Brother Prime Minister". There was nothing to say, but What's the point of asking Ji Ren to be his grandson's senior brother at this age?
"What are you doing standing still? This time, if it weren't for you, Senior Uncle Jinxia and Senior Brother Ji Ren, I wouldn't have had the opportunity to break through as a teacher." Ge Xianweng looked at his disciples and said, "Pass this order, my disciples from the Lingbao lineage are not allowed to have any contact with the Zhuge family. "The Ji family is in trouble. If the descendants of the Zhuge family and the Ji family are in trouble in the future, they must help each other and must not violate it. This is the ancestral precept."

"Is it because of Master Zhuge and Ji Ren that Master achieved this breakthrough?" the old Taoist asked in shock.

"The main thing is that you, Master, and I have accumulated a lot of experience, and things will come naturally. But without them, I don't know when I will meet this opportunity." Ge Xianweng did not tell about the Samadhi True Fire, but changed his words.

"Thank you, Master Zhuge."

When the old Taoist heard this, he immediately kowtowed to Zhuge Yuquan.

Thank you for this gift.

"And your senior brother." Ge Xianweng pointed at Ji Ren and said.

"Senior brother?" The old Taoist looked at Ji Ren, who was old enough to be his grandson. The words "senior brother" were so hot that he couldn't say them out.

He didn't understand why Ji Ren was his senior brother. Even if his master was lower than Master Zhuge, he had started earlier than Ji Ren.

After all, he had started before Ji Ren was born.

"That's right." Ge Xianweng nodded lightly and looked at his disciple with gentle eyes. Who told me, your master, to owe him a favor? Help me break through this favor. I can call him Senior Brother.

But your master and I are so old, I have to show off, so I can only feel wronged to you.

Somehow, the old Taoist understood his master's meaning, but he didn't want to understand. He suddenly felt that his master's breakthrough was not a good thing.

"Brother Ge Dao has high morals and high respect. We are friends with each other, so I should call him senior brother."

Ji Ren looked at the old Taoist who was very old and still had a troubled expression on his face, so he took the initiative to help him out.

The main reason is that a gray-haired old man called him senior brother. He was a little embarrassed and called him old. He was afraid that he would avoid him in the future. If he was petty, he might really dare to cause trouble for him and take a step back. ,good for everyone.

To be precise, Ji Ren had an advantage by being his junior brother.

After all, the identity of this veteran is not simple. The two strongest men of the Lingbao Sect are the leader who condenses the Dharma of Ge Hong, and the other is the Supreme Elder who condenses the Dharma of Zuo Ci. However, of these two people, one is away all year round. One person sits in the temple all year round, so the one who really decides the affairs of the Lingbao Sect is the one in front of him, Ge Changqing, who embodies the founder of the Lingbao Sect, Ge Xuanfaxiang.

With this senior brother, Ji Ren really became a very important figure in Daqi and even the Taoist sects of the Six Nations.

"Thank you, junior brother." Hearing Ji Ren's words, Ge Changqing was overjoyed. Looking at Ji Ren, his eyes were full of gratitude. No wonder he became famous in Daqi at a young age, made great contributions, and became the most dazzling figure in Daqi today. This It should.

"It doesn't matter, you senior brothers just get along with each other. There are others who haven't seen the courtesy yet, please show the courtesy." Ge Xianweng didn't force it, but had a faint smile on his face. He made Ji Ren his brother as a courtesy, Ji Ren didn't Yes, it's a courtesy to him, he's a good young man.

It's a pity that Zhuge Yuquan took it away. If he had known earlier, he would have come back decades earlier.

"Yes, hurry up and salute your uncle. Your uncle is very kind to his master. In the future, if you see your uncle as if you are seeing me, anyone who is disrespectful will have their practice revoked and be expelled from my Lingbao lineage." After Ge Changqing saluted, he turned around He looked at his group of disciples and said.

Listening to Ge Changqing's words, the middle-aged Taoist priests who were old enough to be Ji Ren's father subconsciously showed a look of resentment in their eyes. Master, you have stood up, are you speaking so forcefully?
We’ve been caught in the rain, shouldn’t we hold an umbrella for us?
"What are you still waiting for? Why don't you come to see your Senior Uncle Ji Ren?" Ge Changqing swept the group of people majestically. I have already helped you fight for it. From Senior Uncle to Senior Uncle, what else do you want?

The seniority is here, what else do you want?

All the Taoist priests wanted to cry, but they still had to bow obediently and pay homage to their uncle.

Ji Ren, who had become an elder, could only show a smile and thought to himself, the Chinese New Year is coming soon, so if everyone gives such a big gift, they won't ask me for new year's money.

I can't afford it.

Jia Ru, who had just come up from the side, saw this scene with a subtle expression on his face.

Although he didn't know the reason, Jia Ru had an intuition that maybe his breakthrough would also fall on Ji Ren.

When he noticed Jia Ru's gaze, Ji Ren's body instinctively shivered. Anyone who was well-informed in Da Qi knew that this harmless-looking deputy dean was the most powerful person in the school and even in Da Qi. Terrible people.

This even surpasses Nanhua Lao Xian and Zhuge Qinglan. After all, the former is a dragon who sees the beginning but not the end and is indifferent to all things in the world. The latter has a great heart and cares about the people of the Qi Dynasty. But this one has no weakness and the lower limit is unknown.
