Chapter 170: Life and Death Test, Han Zhongli Appears! (Seeking monthly votes)
Daosheng's ability to know destiny has not been cultivated to a high level, but he can sense the deep causal relationship between Lu Chen and Buddhism.
This made Lu Chen's understanding of this world further deepened.
Perhaps the current power level in this world seems very low, but the upper limit of power is definitely not the level he sees now.
Of course, think about it, the snake demon in Calabash Brothers was suppressed for 9999 years. If the power level of human race was only as little as it is now.
After the snake demon was born, I'm afraid the human race would be destroyed.
Can the ancient gods really leave with peace of mind?
After Daosheng left, Lu Chen did not leave, but took out the jade pendant with the word Lu on it.
"So this time, we must also test the hidden power of this world."
The jade pendant with the word "Lu" on it looks ordinary.
However, the means used to cast the spells on it definitely surpass those of Yuanshen Zhenren.
He could even defeat a top figure of the time like Kou Qianzhi.
However, the means in the Lu jade pendant left him no chance to resist, and he could only follow the ideas of the person behind him.
The gap between them is obvious.
Lu Chen placed it on the boulder and slowly backed away, his eyes fixed on the jade pendant with the word "Lu" on it.
At first, there was not much unusual, but when Lu Chen was about ten feet away from the jade pendant with the word "Lu", the jade pendant with the word "Lu" suddenly flashed, and the next moment, it disappeared.
Lu Chen looked down, and sure enough, he saw the jade pendant with the word "Lu" on his waist.
Now Lu Chen is sure that the person behind the word "Lu" has not left yet!
"who are you?"
Lu Chen took off the jade pendant with the word Lu again and put it in his hand: "Trapping me and making me go to Longquan Temple to indirectly attract people from Donglin Temple, it should be related to the events on Mount Lu. Moreover, you should always be paying attention to me, so you are also related to me, but this tough measure should be arranged under the tight time, so it is full of loopholes, or it is useless after I find it. After all, I can't resist your arrangement, right?"
The Lu jade pendant didn't react at all, as if everything was just Lu Chen's self-talk.
But at this time, Lu Chen laughed: "But, you are also very conflicted. You don't know what attitude you should use to treat me, so you arranged a trial. Shaoyang Dongtian, Lu family cultivator. Jindan disciple, heir of the three caves. Huibao of Donglin Temple knows my name, and I'm afraid he also knows this information, so they didn't make things difficult for me, and let me leave. It was because of Shaoyang Dongtian's face, not myself... Senior Wang, you really took great pains for me. I am really flattered!"
The surroundings were quiet, and the Lu jade pendant remained the same.
But Lu Chen did not seem anxious at all. Instead, he continued, "I once met the Louguan Daoists in Zhongnan Mountain. The Louguan Daoists did not know the name of Senior Wang at all. I thought that the name of Senior was made up by someone. But then I heard from Taoist Xu Lingqi of Lingbao Sect that an elder had met Senior Zhongli of Jindan Sect. So I had a guess in my mind."
"Perhaps, other people cannot transmit messages to so many Yuanshen Zhenren, but if it is Senior Wang, it may be very simple. After all, Senior Wang is the Emperor of Shaoyang. But I am a little confused. As a Taoist master, why do you want to make things difficult for a junior like me?"
Lu Chen's tone suddenly became sharp: "I pretended to be the successor of Shaoyang Sect and borrowed the name of Senior Wang. It was indeed wrong, but I had no ill intentions. On the contrary, I admired Senior Wang very much. Moreover, by chance, I did get some inner alchemy practice methods. I am considered the successor of Senior's Golden Alchemy Sect, right?"
"I used to have high hopes for you, but your actions have disappointed me. There are so many liars in the world who claim to have achieved enlightenment through inner alchemy, but you didn't punish them. Instead, you came to me alone. Could it be that I, who really have the potential to achieve inner alchemy, am a thorn in your side?"
As he spoke, Lu Chen shook his head slightly, with an expression that said 'I misjudged you'.
"You little brat! How dare you make up stories about my Taoist master!"
Accompanied by a loud shout, the situation suddenly changed!
A strong wind blew, causing the tall treetops to sway like drunken men, and countless leaves mixed with sand and gravel shot off in all directions.
The clouds in the sky quickly condensed, and in a few moments, dark clouds covered the moonlight in the sky.
However, Lu Chen stood there motionless, not even blinking.
At this moment, he seemed to have turned into a stubborn stone in the huge waves, regardless of the wind and rain, but his color did not change at all.
By the time the strong wind died down and everything returned to calm, the surrounding trees had been blown to pieces.
And on the top of a big tree, a Taoist holding a palm-leaf fan appeared out of nowhere.
The Taoist has a round head and a broad forehead, thick ears and long eyebrows, deep eyes and a high nose, a square mouth and big cheeks, and red lips and face. At first glance, he has a blessed appearance.
However, the Taoist's expression at this moment clearly showed that he was still furious. He did not fan the palm-leaf fan in his hand at this moment, but the slightest movement of the fan caused the surrounding grass and trees to sway slightly.
It was obvious that the strong wind just now was caused by the palm-leaf fan in his hand.
Lu Chen looked at the Taoist priest and bowed slightly, saying, "I am Lu Xiuchen, a poor Taoist priest. I am honored to meet Senior Zhongli."
"Zhongli? Haha, who do you think I am?"
The Taoist paused holding the cushion, and sneered, "Boy, don't try to get close to me. I'm not some Taoist Zhongli. Tell me, where did you get the Tao? Who taught you the Dharma? Why do you travel the world under the name of Shaoyang? You even dare to make up stories about the founder of Shaoyang. Do you really think you are the descendant of Shaoyang, or do you think there is no one in my Shaoyang sect?"
Lu Chen was so angry that he scolded him, as if he was very annoyed by Lu Chen pretending to be the successor of Shaoyang Sect.
At the end, it was like a thunderclap exploding in Lu Chen.
But Lu Chen's expression did not change at all. Instead, he slowly smiled: "Senior Zhongli, does the successor of Shaoyang Sect need to go through many tests before he can be enlightened and enter the sect? Or does treating the juniors like this make you feel satisfied?"
"Bastard!"
The Taoist suddenly flew down and slapped Lu Chen on the chest.
Lu Chen didn't react at all. He only saw a flash before his eyes, and the next second he felt a huge force erupting in his chest.
In an instant, his body flew backwards like a cannonball.
With a "bang", Lu Chen's body hit a huge tree before stopping.
The tree behind him was smashed down and a human-shaped crack appeared.
Densely packed wood chips broke apart from it.
If Lu Chen's body had not been invulnerable to swords and knives, this blow would have cost him half his life.
"Pfft! Cough cough..."
Lu Chen fell out from the giant tree and a stream of blood spurted out of him.
Followed by a quick breath of fresh air.
But in the blink of an eye, the Taoist had already come to Lu Chen's side.
With a slight wave of the cushion in his hand, Lu Chen's body was lifted up, and the whole person was pulled into the air by a gust of wind.
Lu Chen wanted to use his own means to break free, but as soon as the magic power appeared, it dissipated immediately.
The divine consciousness appeared, but it was useless, like a stone thrown into the sea.
At this moment, he seemed to have become an ordinary person, and all his methods became futile struggles in front of this Taoist.
"Can you talk properly now?"
The Taoist sat on the stone and looked at Lu Chen who was suspended in mid-air.
Lu Chen's face was a little pale, but he still said calmly: "Should I thank you for not killing me?"
The Taoist smiled and said, "Do you think I won't kill you?"
As he spoke, he gently waved the palm-leaf fan in his hand, and Lu Chen felt a violent pulling sensation in his limbs.
"Senior! I have something else to say!"
The pain coming from his limbs made Lu Chen's face look a little ferocious as he shouted, "If the senior heard this, he would definitely not enjoy torturing the junior."
"Oh? Tell me about it, Taoist priest, I would like to listen to it."
Although the Taoist said this, he did not stop his magic.
Lu Chen felt a little helpless.
He could endure this kind of pain, but it was not a necessary pain. Being controlled and tortured in the sky like a prisoner... He was not a masochist. "Shaoyang Sect... should be called Jindan Sect. It was founded by Shaoyang Zhenren. Its purpose should be to spread the way of inner alchemy. But for some reason, the inner alchemy did not flourish. Instead, some external sects such as Fulu Dao and Waidan Dao were popular. I guess Shaoyang Zhenren must be extremely helpless, right? I have a way to help the inner alchemy spread the inner alchemy concept and make it flourish."
Lu Chen’s mind recorded countless classics and scriptures from Mount Taihe.
Most of those scriptures cannot be used for cultivation, but if they are used for missionary work, these scriptures, which are the result of hundreds and thousands of years of experience and have philosophical meanings, are the real killer weapons.
The prosperity of a Taoist lineage does not depend on your own method of practice.
No matter how good or powerful your practice method is, it only means that your practice method is good, and it does not mean that your religious philosophy is suitable for the world.
Just like Louguan Road.
The practice system of Louguan Taoism is extremely solid.
However, the philosophical system of Louguan Dao is very shallow, and most of it is obscure and difficult to understand, which cannot resonate with ordinary people.
Naturally, it will be difficult to carry forward one's own Taoism.
"Haha! Idiot!"
The Taoist listened to Lu Chen's words, but smiled disdainfully, and said nonchalantly: "Preaching? Do you think that our Shaoyang lineage is only for preaching? If it was just for preaching, the Shaoyang lineage would have long suppressed other Taoist lines, such as Tianshi Dao, Taiping Dao, Lingbao, Shangqing, and Sanhuang. These Taoist lines have long been suppressed by the Shaoyang lineage and cannot raise their heads. Why does the world know so little about the Shaoyang School?"
At this point, the Taoist's eyes flickered with teasing: "Boy, if you can only think of this, then there is no need to continue. You have gone to great lengths to use provocation to get the Taoist to come out and meet you. You even dare to tease the founder of my sect. You are very courageous. Tell me, what kind of death do you like?"
What he said made Lu Chen stunned.
He thought of several possibilities. The Taoist might ask for some solution, or mock him for being too confident in himself, or say that the world was not as simple as he imagined.
The only thing I didn’t expect was that the Shaoyang Sect had no intention of spreading the teachings?
After thinking about it carefully, Lu Chen thought of something.
Since the Shaoyang Sect can transmit messages to the Yuanshen Patriarch of the Three Caverns Taoist Sect, this means that the Shaoyang Sect is not without power.
On the contrary, their strength and hidden power are actually very great!
It has even surpassed other Taoist sects in the world, but they do not want to show it in front of others, and have been hiding behind the scenes!
"The blessed land of caves is where all the immortals live... The Shaoyang Sect is called Shaoyang Cave Heaven. Could it be that there are really many immortals living in these blessed lands? They don't preach, not because they can't, but because they don't want to?"
Lu Chen's thoughts raced, and he began to have some doubts about his initial guess.
At first, he guessed that the Shaoyang Sect's spreading of the term "Golden Core Disciple, Three Cave Disciple" was a test for him.
Lu Chen had also heard of the story of Han Zhongli testing Lu Dongbin ten times.
Therefore, after meeting this Taoist who obviously had a blessed appearance, Lu Chen would not call him "Senior Zhongli".
After all, his blessed appearance and the way he was dressed, holding a palm-leaf fan, were too obvious.
But now, Lu Chen was a little hesitant.
If the Shaoyang Sect is really as strong as they imagined, then whether they preach or not...it doesn't matter to them.
Well, since you don’t preach…it doesn’t really matter whether you pass it on to others or not, right?
"What's up, kid? Have you made up your mind? If you haven't thought about how to die, then I will make the decision for you."
The Taoist slowly stood up and controlled Lu Chen's body to fall down.
Lu Chen looked at the Taoist priest, and suddenly a light bulb went off in his head. He quickly said, "Senior Zhongli, is your master Shaoyang Zhenren still alive?"
"What? Are you still trying to trick me? I've told you my last name is not Zhongli." The Taoist sneered.
"However, it doesn't hurt to tell you that even if our Master lives another ten thousand years, he will be at ease. His cultivation has already reached the level of a true immortal."
Lu Chen suddenly realized: "So, this is why you, senior, want to get rid of me as soon as possible?"
The Taoist raised his eyebrows: "Boy, what do you mean by this? Are you saying that I, the Taoist, am jealous of your talent? Haha, what a joke! No matter what you are, you are just pretending to be a disciple of Shaoyang Dongtian. Do you really think you are so great?"
"Haha, the cave is hard to get out of. Senior was anxious to find me, and even set up a so-called test full of loopholes. Could it be that he didn't deliberately come out of the cave to find me?"
Lu Chen looked at the Taoist's expression and calmed down.
He is not wrong!
He was wrong, it was just that the Taoist made him think that was the case!
Lu Chen laughed instead: "Senior Zhongli, I never said that Zhongli... is the surname!"
These words made the Taoist couldn't help but tremble the cushion in his hand.
Yes, Lu Chen has always called him 'Senior Zhongli', but he never said that Zhongli is his surname!
This made the Taoist a little angry. He actually fell into the trap?
"Boy, are you really not afraid of death?" the Taoist threatened.
Lu Chen smiled softly and said, "Senior Zhongli, if you really want to kill me, then do it."
"Good! Taoist, I respect you as a real man."
The Taoist raised the palm-leaf fan in his hand and smiled coldly: "Since your last words have been said, I will fulfill your wish."
Then, the Taoist's arm slowly fell down.
A tearing sensation came from Lu Chen's limbs.
But at this moment, Lu Chen looked indifferent and indifferent.
Not even the distorted expression of pain was there anymore.
This made the Taoist frown slightly, and he waved the palm-leaf fan in his hand a few more times in disbelief.
"Senior Zhongli, you haven't made a move yet?"
Lu Chen suddenly said, with a smile on his face: "In fact, you don't have to cast an illusion. Illusions mainly come from the six senses of human beings. It just so happens that I am also a little bit familiar with illusions, so I cast an illusion on myself in advance. Of course, this is just because I don't want to experience pain, but it doesn't affect you from killing me."
The Taoist was stunned, and the palm-leaf fan in his hand froze in mid-air, not falling down for a long time.
That’s right, the pain he inflicted on Lu Chen was all caused by illusion.
But, he didn’t expect that Lu Chen saw through it now?
"Boy, how did you figure that out?"
The Taoist was a little confused. The illusion he cast was so powerful that even a real Yuanshen Zhenren would not be able to see through it in such a short time!
Lu Chen smiled, and his heart was completely at peace: "I didn't see it, I just believe in your virtue. If you are not Zhongli Quan, then no matter what you do, I can't resist, so it's better to wait for death. If you don't want to kill me... Hehe."
He didn't say the rest.
But it turned out that Lu Chen made the right bet.
The Taoist didn't want to kill Lu Chen, he just wanted to test him.
The Taoist asked again, "What if you died in this illusion?"
"Senior, you can confuse my five senses, but you cannot deceive my sixth sense. My divine sense has not yet detected any trace of murderous intent." Lu Chen smiled.
Gui Zang Luopan did not realize the intention to kill him!
This is the place where Lu Chen can talk to the Taoist priest in peace!
If the Taoist was really filled with murderous intent, Lu Chen would have run away long ago.
Can you still stay here and talk so much?!
