The copy of the universe from the journey to the west

Chapter 202: Buddhabhadra passed away, and Shao Gongshi of the Southern Ming Dynasty appeared (asking for monthly tickets)
Inside the Donglin Temple, a Taoist and a Confucian walked down from the Ganlu ordination platform.

Around the Ganlu ordination altar, there are monks lying all over the ground. These monks are there to protect and seal the Ganlu ordination altar. Each of them is a warrior monk who does not practice Buddhism but only magic. They are characters like Dharma protectors.

Each one of them is at least comparable to the magician level, and one is even comparable to the Dharmakaya level.

But now, there was no alarm on any other monks in Donglin Temple, as they all fell down silently.

On the Ganlu ordination platform, there was also a statue of an old and frail foreign monk sitting cross-legged. He was none other than Buddhabhadra, a Western monk who had attained the state of Arhat.

But at this time, Buddhabhadra had his head lowered, as if he was silent.

The soul is destroyed!

Liu Yimin was playing with a rosary in his hand and shook his head, "With just this little bit of cave heaven aura, are you sure you can locate that half of the cave heaven?"

Buddhabhadra was able to attain the status of Arhat by absorbing a wisp of the original energy emanating from the Peach Blossom Cave.

Although they killed Buddhabhadra, the original energy of the cave heaven in his body had long been consumed.

Only a little bit of the aura of the cave remained.

Zhang Jiao said calmly, "It can't be done in a short time, but if there is any movement in that half of the cave... hm?"

Before he finished speaking, he looked at the rosary with a flickering look in his eyes: "You really can't help but show your head?"

"What's wrong? Is there any movement in that half of the cave?" Liu Yimin asked puzzledly.

Zhang Jiao shook her head: "It was just a small noise, and it was gone in a flash."

Then, a smile appeared on his lips: "However, if there is one, there must be two. After being silent for fifty years, it is impossible for such a small movement to emerge."

Liu Yimin nodded and threw the rosary to Zhang Jiao. He practiced the Confucianism method to cultivate great righteousness, and could not sense the so-called aura in the rosary at all.

Zhang Jiao took the rosary and asked, "What are you going to do now? If there is nothing else, I will leave..."

Before he could finish his sentence, he felt a sudden burst of magical power from deep within Mount Lushan.

Although it was weak, as the news of Cheng Gongxing came, Zhang Jiao and Liu Yimin also understood what had happened.

"I didn't expect that they would actually find the little guy from Shangqing Sect."

Zhang Jiao was a little surprised. In the past fifty years, it’s not as if no one had looked for Dong Feng’s inheritance of medical knowledge.

As far as he knew, some practitioners left in the cave heaven were also searching.

However, except for Zhongli Quan who found Xinglin by relying on the aura of Longshou Mountain, no one else found it.

"Can the people from Shangqing Sect be killed?" Zhang Jiao asked.

Liu Yimin's mouth twitched: "One of the future Three Mountain Talisman Ancestors, you dare to attack?"

"It's boring."

Zhang Jiao waved his hand: "If everything is fine, I will leave and continue fishing."

Having said that, he took a step forward and prepared to leave.

"Wait a minute!"

Liu Yimin suddenly called out to Zhang Jiao: "The Green Snake King has already escaped a trace of consciousness. We have to go over and take a look. Don't make any mistakes. You have to come with me."

Zhang Jiao paused and looked back at Liu Yimin: "Are you sure the Green Snake King won't eat us?"

"Don't worry, the Green Snake King is not her sister. She is very smart and knows that cooperating with us is her best choice at this time. Besides, she has seen me and received my kindness. She will not swallow us directly." Liu Yimin said.

Zhang Jiao said indifferently: "If that's the case, let's go."

Liu Yimin smiled and said, "By the way, Zhang Feng seems to have brought your youngest son Zhang Hui here. Do you want to go and see him?"

Zhang Jiao suddenly looked at Liu Yimin, his eyes deep: "Liu Yimin, although we are all three bodies of Cheng Gongxing, you should know the meaning of three bodies... We are all Cheng Gongxing, but you are not me, don't challenge my bottom line."

The atmosphere suddenly became much more solemn.

Liu Yimin squinted his eyes and looked at Zhang Jiao. After a while, he suddenly smiled and said, "Haha, since you don't miss your son, then don't go to see him. Let's go. Huibao and the others will be back soon."

Having said this, he took the lead and left.

Zhang Jiao looked at Liu Yimin's back, his arms trembling slightly, but he finally suppressed the urge to attack and followed him.

……

"Then we'll leave first, Grandpa Bai, please come find us when you're done."

On an uninhabited hilltop in Mount Lushan, Lu Xiujing was carrying a large package and saying goodbye to Mr. Bai.

Because the entrance and exit of Longshou Mountain was discovered, Bai Weng closed that entrance and exit.

This entrance and exit is a temporary exit newly opened by Bai Weng, located deep in the mountains and forests.

Bai Weng nodded: "Of course, don't forget to practice after you go back. If you don't understand something, ask your brother."

"I will, Grandpa Bai."

"You kid, do you only know how to say goodbye to your Grandpa Bai?"

Tao Qian laughed and scolded from the side.

Lu Xiujing said quickly: "Grandpa Tao, Grandpa Huiyuan, you too, if you are free, please come to Jiankang to find me... Well, maybe I am no longer in Jiankang, but I have traveled to other famous mountains and peaks, but you can contact me using paper cranes."

Tao Qian smiled and said to Hui Yuan: "Others are afraid of ghosts coming to their door, but this guy is eager for ghosts like us to come to his door!"

Huiyuan smiled and said to Lu Xiujing, "The current situation is chaotic. Your brother also said that several countries in the north are fighting again. Just go to the south of the river and don't go to the north for now."

"I know."

Lu Xiujing nodded: "I plan to go to Yuntai Mountain to take a look. When I find any clues, I will tell you directly."

At this time, Lu Chen said again: "Master Huiyuan, Master Tao, are you sure you don't want to follow me to see Lu Song?"

Tao Qian said calmly, "It's nothing to see him. He is a god, but I am not. I have lived long enough and don't want to ask about family affairs. I will live as many years as I can. If Monk Huiyuan and Mr. Bai are ready to go out for a walk, I will go with them to see them."

Huiyuan also said: "I will go to Donglin Temple to take a look first. As for becoming a god..."

He shook his head: "I am already tired and don't want to bother anymore."

The Donglin Temple lineage believes that the world is a sea of ​​suffering and there is a pure land after death.

Huiyuan did not see the Pure Land, but he still believed that the world was a sea of ​​suffering and he did not want to become a false god who was carried away by the power of incense.

After hearing this, Lu Chen stopped insisting and turned to Bai Weng and said, "Senior Bai, when are you going to travel?"

"In two years."

Mr. Bai calculated: "The villagers of Qinren Village need to be resettled, and Taoyuan doesn't need to be supported by force. After I extract the origin of the cave, I will go out again. The master said he wanted to see the stories of the human world. Two years is about enough, then I will go and take a look."

Two years is not a long time.

Lu Chen nodded: "If you have any news about Hulu Cave Heaven, please inform me."

Bai Weng said, "Definitely."

"Three seniors, I'm taking my leave." Lu Chen bowed again.

Lu Xiujing also waved excitedly: "Three grandfathers, I'm leaving! Remember to come and see me!"

Lu Chen stomped his feet, and a cloud flew up from under his feet, carrying the two of them away.

"Let's go back too." Mr. Bai said to the two of them.

The three of them returned to the secret land of Taoyuan.

Mr. Bai returned to his yard. At this time, there was a bright apricot tree in bloom in the yard.

The dead apricot tree is no longer there, but Mr. Bai used the authority of the origin of the cave to recreate an apricot tree in his memory here.

However, he only sculpted an apricot tree and did not remember sculpting any person.

Mr. Bai looked at an old man wearing linen clothes and leaning on a cane who appeared under the apricot tree at some point in time, and asked with a vigilant look: "Who are you? How did you get in?"

The old man who was staring at the apricot tree in a daze turned around slowly after hearing this and looked up and down at Bai Weng: "Is the master of Yi Tian of this generation a demon?"

Bai Weng frowned and said, "I am not Yi Tian. You may have found the wrong person. This is not Xinglin Cave Heaven."

"Wherever the legacy of Yi is, there is Yi Tian."

The old man looked at Mr. Bai and said, "You are not Master Yi. You only have the aura of Yi. Didn't Master Yi leave not long ago?"

Bai Weng said coldly: "I don't know what you are talking about. This is just an ordinary mountain village. It's not Yi Tian, ​​and there is no Yi Zhu."

The old man laughed and said, "An ordinary mountain village? A place built with half of a cave, I'm afraid even the emperor wouldn't have this treatment."

Mr. Bai said nothing, but stared at the old man with his eyes.

"Don't be nervous, I mean no harm."

The old man also saw that Mr. Bai was alerting him, so he just smiled gently and said, "There is no need to use the rules of heaven. If it were a complete cave, it might be of some use to me, but the power of this broken cave is useless to me. It's a waste of effort for you to use the rules like this."

Bai Weng frowned. In the complete state of the cave heaven, even if an ancient immortal came, he could deal with it.

Just like Cheng Gongxing earlier, he could only rely on pretending to be kind in the early stage and plotting against his master Dong Feng in the later stage.

The current Peach Blossom Land is only half of the transformed cave heaven. Although its power is not as strong as the complete Xinglin Cave Heaven, it can still deal with some ordinary immortal Taoists without any problem.

Being able to ignore the control of Taoyuan rules, the old man in front of him is at least an immortal Taoist!

Seeing this, Mr. Bai was too lazy to ask any more questions. The truth would be revealed in his hands!

The cane in his hand slowly transformed into a sword with a flying crane head and stabbed directly at the old man.

But the strange thing was that the old man didn't move at all, but Mr. Bai's attacks could not hit him!

It's always a matter of millimeters!
Mr. Bai understood instantly that the old man in front of him was no ordinary person.

This is an existence of at least an ancient immortal!

"Are you Cheng Gongxing!?"

Mr. Bai stared at the old man fiercely: "How did you get into Taoyuan?"

But the old man was like an old farmer, shaking his head and saying, "I am not Cheng Gongxing, and entering this broken cave is not a difficult matter. As long as you are familiar with the Eight Diagrams and Nine Palaces Method, entering is very simple. It just so happens that I have touched on this a little. I came here just to ask, has the owner of this generation appeared? Where is he?"

Bai Weng remained silent. He was defeated in the fight, so he prepared to fight to the death.

But the old man saw this and shook his head helplessly: "I really have no ill intentions, I just want to meet the new owner of this generation, and I have something to tell him."

Mr. Bai frowned and said, "If you have anything to say, just tell me."

"you?"

The old man raised his eyebrows and looked at Mr. Bai, chuckled and said, "Okay. Tell him, I will know where the Gourd Cave is."

Mr. Bai suddenly laughed, but his laughter was somewhat mocking: "Since ancient times, for thousands of years, countless people have been unable to find the Gourd Cave Heaven. You said you knew about it?"

The old man did not make any excuses, but just said: "Just tell him so."

Mr. Bai couldn't laugh anymore. He felt that the old man's attitude didn't seem like he was lying.

After the old man finished speaking, he was about to leave, but was suddenly stopped by Mr. Bai.

"Wait a moment!"

Bai Weng frowned and asked, "Are you leaving just like that?" The old man stopped and looked at Bai Weng and said, "I've said before, I have no ill intentions. I came here just to meet the new owner. Since the new owner is not here, I'm leaving too. Is there any problem?"

Mr. Bai was choked and didn't know how to answer.

There is nothing wrong with this.

However, the old man's attitude made Bai Weng a little unsure.

Does he really mean no harm?

"How do I know that you didn't lie to me? You only mentioned the Gourd Cave Heaven, but you didn't tell me where it is." Mr. Bai forced an excuse.

The old man paused for a moment and said slowly, "In the South Central Region, if I am not mistaken, the family that inherits the Way of Witchcraft in this generation should be the Cuan family. The grandfather of the current Cuan family leader, Cuan Longyan, was the one who was responsible for guarding the Hulu Cave Heaven."

"The Cuan family in the south."

The old man murmured something, and there was a feeling of enlightenment.

He also knew that the Cuan family of Nanzhong was the uncrowned king of the Nanzhong area today. Neither the former Jin State nor the current Song State had any way to deal with the Cuan family.

Mr. Bai looked at the old man deeply and asked, "Are you Mr. Zhuge?"

He had never met Zhuge Liang, but he knew about how Zhuge Liang captured Meng Huo.

The Meng family, to which Meng Huo belonged, was one of the three major families in Nanzhong in the early years.

After the three major families in the Nanzhong region declined, the Cuan family began to rise.

Zhuge Kongming was also good at Yixue and was a great scholar at that time.

"I am not Zhuge Kongming."

The old man smiled when he heard this: "My surname is Ji, and my given name is Shi."

Bai Weng's eyes suddenly widened: "Mr. Shao?"

Shao Gongshi smiled and nodded.

Mr. Bai still couldn't believe it. He learned from Lu Chen that Shao Gongshi, the Duke of Nanming in Luofeng Liutian, had been resurrected.

But I didn't expect that I would actually see the real person!

He immediately stopped Shao Gongshi who was about to leave, took a deep breath and said, "Don't blame me, Shao Gong. I am presumptuous. However, this is also because I am facing a powerful enemy in Xinglin Cave Heaven, so I need to be more cautious. Shao Gong, do you have a way to prove yourself?"

Shao Gongshi said: "It's okay. If it comes to self-evidence..."

He waved his arm, and a force that was almost identical to the power in Xinglin Cave Heaven emerged.

Then he looked at Mr. Bai: "Can this prove my identity?"

Bai Weng looked at this scene in shock: "This... this is..."

"It is the origin of Yi Tian."

Shao Gongshi said: "My father was the master of Yi Tian. I was able to achieve enlightenment with the help of my father. My father was good at Yi learning, so I also have some knowledge of the Nine Palaces and Eight Trigrams."

Mr. Bai looked at Shao Gongshi and realized that what he said was true.

King Wen of Zhou, Ji Chang, created the Sixty-Four Hexagrams of King Wen and was one of the Three Sages of the Book of Changes. There is no problem in saying that he is the Lord of the Book of Changes.

As the son of King Wen, it is normal for Shao Gongshi to understand the theory of the Nine Palaces and Eight Trigrams.

Mr. Bai nodded and said, "Mr. Shao, please wait a moment. I will contact the successor of this generation."

As he said that, he was about to contact Lu Chen.

But he was stopped by Shao Gongshi, and Bai Weng looked at him in confusion.

Shao Gongshi said: "There is no need to send a message. I just want to know whether the new leader of this generation has been born. Since he has been born, there is still time for everything."

Mr. Bai was even more confused: "Mr. Shao, what do you mean by this?"

Shao Gongshi looked at Bai Weng and said, "The rest of the words cannot be told to you. Only the change of master can know. This is the trend of heaven and earth. Only the change of master in this era can know it. Otherwise, there will be a big chaos."

Bai Weng asked, "Then why don't you let me go and inform him?"

"Because of the rules, if the current owner changes his mind and looks for the past, it will be considered as breaking the rules... I can't break the rules either. I can only go to him, and he can't come to me."

Shao Gongshi's tone was unclear.

Mr. Bai was confused. Which family’s rule was this?

Can you still restrict Shao Gongshi?
Without waiting for him to ask again, the latter continued, "The current Master Yi has a treasure that can conceal the secrets of heaven. I can't find him, so I want to ask if Master Yi has been born."

Mr. Bai thought for a moment, nodded slowly, and said, "But he has already left and has no fixed place to live. How are you going to find him?"

"I don't necessarily have to look for him, but I just need to know where he went." Shao Gongshi said.

Bai Weng said: "Then you can go to Jiankang. He has sent people to Jiankang City."

"Jiankang?"

Shao Gongshi frowned and asked, "You haven't gone to look for Zhongli Quan yet?"

Mr. Bai was stunned for a moment, then shook his head: "No."

"This isn't right."

After calculating for a moment, Shao Gongshi suddenly raised his eyebrows and said, "Zhongli Quan's crisis has been resolved... It seems that he failed to reach Jiankang City."

A smile appeared on his face.

Mr. Bai looked at him puzzledly: "What does Mr. Shao mean?"

"Haha, nothing."

Shao Gongshi smiled and changed the subject, "You don't have to stay here too long. Leave early. The big monster suppressed by Xinglin Cave Heaven is about to escape. You can go to Nanzhong first. If you can get the approval of the Cuan family, you will be able to find the trace of Hulu Cave Heaven by then."

As soon as he finished speaking, Shao Gongshi's figure disappeared.

Mr. Bai didn't understand what was going on. After thinking for a moment, he decided to tell Lu Chen the news.

But before he made the news public, there was a violent earthquake in Xinglin Cave Heaven all of a sudden.

Bai Weng was too late to notify Lu Chen. He looked up at the sky and saw dense and terrifying lines covering the entire sky.

"Boom!"

Accompanied by a violent vibration, it seemed as if some huge object was hitting the sky of Taoyuan Secret Realm.

"The great demon... is really about to be born."

Bai Weng was reminded of this and immediately began to stabilize the Xinglin Cave.

……

On the other side, Lu Chen, who had left Xinglin Cave Heaven, was already flying in the sky with Lu Xiujing.

"what!"

Lu Xiujing on the side looked at the ground, hugged Lu Chen's calf and roared loudly.

Lu Chen patted his forehead helplessly. At this moment, he thought of the dark history of being held by the neck by Senior Brother Guangyuan.

In desperation, Lu Chen slowed down and lowered the clouds a little.

"Xiu Jing, don't panic, we won't fall."

"But...but these are clouds." As the clouds slowed down and lowered in altitude, Lu Xiujing stopped screaming, but she was still a little frightened.

Lu Chen comforted him, "You'll get used to it."

Lu Xiujing showed Lu Chen a smile that was uglier than crying: "I'm fine, brother, you...you continue."

Upon hearing this, Lu Chen shook his head and could only let the cloud fall to the ground.

But just as the two of them descended from the clouds, Lu Chen discovered something was wrong.

They seemed to have triggered a mechanism, and several huge trees fell directly towards the two of them from the dense forest.

Immediately afterwards, two figures, one on the left and one on the right, rushed towards the two without saying a word.

Lu Chen raised his eyebrows.

Is this the courage of a bear’s heart and a leopard’s heart?
Two guys who aren't even mages dare to assassinate me?

With a wave of his sleeves, several huge trees flew backwards in an instant, knocking the two attackers away.

At this moment, a voice suddenly stopped Lu Chen's actions: "Master Lu! Wait a minute!"

Lu Chen stopped, looked back, and saw Sun Haoran running towards them.

Sun Haoran still looked a little anxious. As soon as he got close, he apologized to Lu Chen: "I'm sorry, Taoist Lu, Brother Shuangma has never seen you. It's a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding."

Lu Chen looked at Sun Haoran with a playful look. When the huge tree fell, his divine sense was released. Naturally, he sensed that Sun Haoran was watching not far away. Otherwise, the two horse brothers would have died at the hands of Lu Chen. "Mr. Sun, what kind of drama is this?"

"It's really a misunderstanding, Taoist Lu. This was originally intended to be used against those traitors in Wang Lingqi."

Sun Haoran was helpless. He was just a Confucian scholar. Although he knew some martial arts skills, his reaction speed was no match for the twin Ma brothers.

Then he turned his head to look at the two people lying on the ground, his face darkened instantly: "Are they dead? If not, come here quickly!"

He is angry in his heart, can't you be a little more considerate?

They came down riding on clouds and mist. How dare you two launch a sneak attack?

If someone else had come, I'm afraid he would have given up on the spot.

The two horse brothers then supported each other and stood up and walked over.

Then he saluted Lu Chen.

"Ma Han and Ma Lang, disciples of the sixth generation of Shangqing, greet Taoist Master Lu."

Lu Chen nodded. These two people were later called the fifth and sixth generation masters of the Shangqing Sect.

Of course, unlike the previous four generations of Wei Huacun, Yang Xi, Xu Mu and others, these two were only revered as ancestors because of their contributions to preserving the scriptures.

It can be seen from their cultivation that both of them are in their forties or fifties, but they are not even mages. The highest achievement they can achieve in this life is probably just being a mage. There is no way they can ever become a Yuanshen Zhenren or Neidan Zhenren.

Now they call themselves the sixth generation disciples, which means they regard themselves as disciples of Xu Huangmin.

Lu Xiujing also stood up at this time and bowed to Sun Haoran: "Lu Xiujing, meet Mr. Sun."

Then he turned to Ma Han and Ma Lang and said, "Hello, gentlemen."

Ma Han and Ma Lang also saluted Lu Xiujing: "Mr. Lu."

Sun Haoran looked at Lu Xiujing and said with a smile, "Lu Jiazi, you made Brother Huang Min look for you so hard."

Several people knew each other. The Lu family moved eastward from Wuxing, and the two Ma brothers were from Shan County in eastern Zhejiang, not far from each other. The Lu family was much higher in status than the Ma family.

As for Sun Haoran, there is no need to say more. He is a descendant of the Wu royal family, and the ancestor of the Lu family, Lu Kai, was the prime minister of Wu.

Although the Wu Kingdom no longer exists, the friendship between the two families has always existed. When Lu Xiujing was in elementary school, he was sent to the Sun Family School by his family, and naturally he had met Sun Haoran.
