The copy of the universe from the journey to the west

Chapter 205 Even if the Queen Mother of the West is resurrected, she would not dare to kill him! (ask for monthly ticket)

After hearing this, Zhongli Quan had no choice but to stop.

Xinglin Cave Heaven was already in a state of disrepair, and Cheng Gongxing was different from Bai Weng who had been committed to maintaining the stability of Peach Blossom Spring. Cheng Gongxing had been watching the disintegration of Xinglin Cave Heaven.

So even though Xinglin Cave Heaven occupies most of the origin of the original cave heaven, the stability of its rules and order is even unmatched by Taohuayuan.

If the Peach Blossom Spring can withstand a magnitude 7 earthquake, then the Xinglin Cave Heaven would probably collapse directly from a magnitude 3 or 4 earthquake!
This is also why Zhongli Quan feels guilty.

Because Zhongli Quan has been continuously casting spells in Xinglin Cave Heaven these days, the order and rules of Xinglin Cave Heaven have been disrupted!
"If it weren't for the old Taoist, the cave wouldn't have been shattered so quickly."

Zhongli Quan looked at Lu Chen and said, "You leave first. I will stop him here."

He was still prepared to sacrifice himself to prevent the emergence of the ancient demon.

"Senior Zhongli, it's useless. Even if you die, the ancient demon can't seal it."

Lu Chen shook his head helplessly: "The ancient monster has already escaped. The Green Snake King that is left here is just a part of its body. In addition, the cave is too badly broken now. It is very difficult to seal it again."

"We won't know until we try it." Zhongli Quan did not give up.

"He may have deliberately led you to suicide."

Lu Chen suddenly said: "He doesn't dare to kill you, but he will never stop you from committing suicide, and he may even be happy to see this scene."

Zhongli Quan frowned: "Why?"

Lu Chen turned his gaze to Cheng Gongxing: "Senior Cheng can become Zhang Jiao, Zhang Xiu, Zhang Jiao, Buddhayasa... then he can naturally become Zhongli Quan!"

Zhongli Quan's expression froze as he looked at Cheng Gongxing who was looking at him with a smile.

A chill came over my heart.

If I die, and he disguises himself to plot against my master, then what will happen...

The latter laughed and said, "That's right, I really can't kill Zhongli Quan myself, but I'm not so mean as to have such a dirty idea."

"Nanhua Cave Heaven, was its essence extracted by the senior?"

Lu Chen said slowly: "The Butterfly Transformation Technique is the unique magical power of Nanhua Cave Heaven. It can be divided into two, making it impossible to distinguish the true from the false. Only the Nanhua Immortals of each generation can pass it on. Moreover, to advance to the ancient human immortal realm, more cave heaven origin is needed. Otherwise, there would not be even human immortal practitioners in those cave heavens sometimes, because the origin is insufficient, and naturally it is impossible to integrate the origin energy."

"is it?"

Zhongli Quan asked doubtfully, "But as far as I know, every generation of descendants of Nanhua Cave Heaven can perform the Butterfly Transformation Technique."

"The Butterfly Transformation Technique has conditions for its use."

Lu Chen shared some of the information he had learned from the butterfly demon: "Nanhua Cave Heaven only has the original magical power of a dead Green Crown King Butterfly of the Immortal Daojun level. The Butterfly Transformation Technique requires the integration of this original magical power. The other practitioners in Nanhua Cave Heaven are probably practicing the improved Butterfly Transformation Technique. The real Butterfly Transformation Technique is a magical power, so it is called the Butterfly Transformation Magic Power. Only the Nanhua Immortals of each generation have the power to integrate that original magical power and perform the Butterfly Transformation Magic Power."

Zhongli Quan understood.

No wonder he felt that the butterfly transformation technique was nothing special.

It turned out that the so-called butterfly-transformation technique he had encountered in the past was actually an illusion.

The real art of transforming into a butterfly requires the integration of the magical powers of the demon race.

"You know a little too much."

Cheng Gongxing was also a little surprised that Lu Chen knew so many things.

The 'magic power of transformation into a butterfly' developed by Zhuang Zhou indeed requires the essence of the Blue Crown King Butterfly that he personally cultivated in order to be used.

"The younger generation knows even more."

Lu Chen said: "If my guess is correct, the reason why you transformed into Zhang Xiu is actually because you want to use the remains of Nanhua Cave Heaven to set up a fake Hulu Cave Heaven, right?"

Cheng Gongxing didn't say anything, but his eyes narrowed.

Seeing this, Lu Chen became more certain of his guess: "Each of the twelve cave heavens has its own territory, and everyone knows about each other. They know which cave heaven exists and which does not. If a cave heaven suddenly appeared on Yuntai Mountain, it would definitely be mistaken for the legendary gourd cave heaven."

"I was a little confused at first. Why did the four great caves suddenly erupt into a war of annihilation?"

“If the remains of Nanhua Cave Heaven are placed on Yuntai Mountain, then everything will make sense.”

"Senior, listen to what I say, is it right?"

"Zhang Jue inherited the Nanhua heritage and extracted the essence of the Nanhua Cave Heaven, which enabled him to become a human immortal. Then the Yellow Turban Rebellion broke out, and he extracted the luck and moved the cave heaven portal to Yuntai Mountain."

"However, Zhang Jiao's identity was special, so he couldn't make this news public. So Zhang Xiu appeared, and then Zhang Xiu was 'accidentally' killed by Zhang Lu. His disciples all fled, and the secret of Yuntai Mountain spread throughout the world!"

"People from the four cave heavens went there to check and found out that it was indeed a cave heaven. As a result, a war broke out between the cave heavens."

Lu Chen said dimly: "The Four Great Cave Heavens should not collapse suddenly, but if there is someone acting as a double-faced traitor... then it is not impossible."

"Haha...hahaha!"

Cheng Gongxing suddenly burst into laughter and clapped his hands, saying, "Good! A good reasoning! But how do you know that this person is me? I was not Buddhayasas at that time."

"Yes, the senior at that time was indeed not Buddhayasas. But there was the great monk Yan Fodiao at that time."

Lu Chen smiled when he said this: "To be honest, if I hadn't studied history, I probably wouldn't have noticed this first monk of the Han Dynasty. Zhang Jue was a general of the Taiping Dao, who was in the limelight at the time. How could he take the initiative to visit a monk?"

Cheng Gongxing stood with his hands behind his back and said, "Yan Fodiao is just a good friend of mine because his philosophy is more in line with mine."

"This junior believes it."

Lu Chen nodded: "So this is what surprised me. Although Yan Fodiao is a disciple of the foreign monk An Shigao, he is not a master of practice. He just has a thorough understanding of Buddhist principles. However, the senior was able to realize the method of the Three Treasures of One Mind from the Three Treasures of Buddhism he passed on. This level of understanding is the pinnacle of the world!"

"My friend, sometimes knowing too much is not a good thing."

Cheng Gongxing looked at Lu Chen with a smile: "What use are you to history? I can't see through you, and I don't know what use you are to the general situation. Killing you should be fine."

This is a threat.

Lu Chen knows too much!

It is unlikely that the "don't do it unless it's your own fault" thing will happen to Cheng Gongxing.

Because his layout has been built over decades or even hundreds of years.

After such a long time, even if there are some loopholes, they have long been buried in the history.

And Lu Chen was able to dig out all of his past from some trivial things. His sensitivity was amazing!

Of course, he didn't know that the reason why Lu Chen could think of all these was because of the River Map and Luo Shu.

Whether it is true or not, there may be some errors and omissions after some reasoning, but the general direction can be calculated.

Lu Chen also smiled and replied: "Senior, can you give it a try and see if killing me will have any effect on you?"

Cheng Gongxing and Lu Chen looked at each other and cursed each other in their hearts.

"Old fox!"

"Little Fox!"

"Do you really think that I dare not kill you?"

Cheng Gongxing said the most terrifying words with the kindest smile.

Lu Chen also smiled and said: "I also said, senior, can you give it a try? Maybe you can't kill me?"

"Really? Now that you mention it, I am interested."

Cheng Gongxing slowly walked towards Lu Chen.

"what are you doing!"

Zhongli Quan tightly grasped the palm leaf fan and said in a cold tone: "If you want to kill him, first..."

Cheng Gongxing waved his palm slightly, and Zhongli Quan was knocked away by a huge force.

Zhongli Quan steadied his body in an instant, turned around and prepared to try again.

Chenggong Xing just snapped his fingers lightly.

"Snapped!"

The entire space seemed to be imprisoned in an instant and stopped changing. Zhongli Quan was also fixed in place, motionless.

"What about now, youngster?" Cheng Gongxing said slowly as he stood in front of Lu Chen.

Lu Chen didn't say anything, but the smile on his face was no longer there.

Lu Chen didn't dare to guarantee that Cheng Gongxing wouldn't dare to attack him, but he believed in the deduction of the River Map and Luo Shu.

Seeing that Lu Chen did not make any defensive move, Cheng Gongxing directly made a palm strike and slapped Lu Chen on the forehead.

"boom!"

The huge pressure condensed into a strong wind, blowing past Lu Chen's head and forming a huge palm print in the mountains behind Lu Chen.

But in the end, Cheng Gongxing never really killed Lu Chen.

"Haha, interesting, you are the same person as me?"

Cheng Gongxing put down his hand and looked at Lu Chen.

Lu Chen said: "If you mean someone who came from the Yin-Yang Realm... Sorry, that's not the case."

"Do you know that the Yin-Yang Realm is the previous world?" Cheng Gongxing raised his eyebrows.

"Just a guess."

Lu Chen said: "The Gourd Cave Heaven should be a microcosm of the entire world, so it is extremely important. If I am not mistaken, this world is a gourd?"

Cheng Gongxing smiled: "Although I don't know how you came up with this, congratulations, you guessed it right. Congratulations, you can live."

“It really is a gourd.”

Lu Chen sighed.

This is an extremely terrifying thought.

A gourd-shaped world, so it is divided into two layers.

The upper level is the current human world, and the lower level is the current Yin and Yang world!
What Cheng Gongxing called escaping from another world was actually escaping from the Yin-Yang realm below!

Because the world below has been completely occupied by weirdness and distortion, some great practitioners fled that world and came to the human world today!

This is the truth of this world!
And this truth also means that all living beings in a world have completely turned into ghosts.

"Did someone ask the seniors not to attack the juniors?" Lu Chen stopped sighing in his heart and suddenly asked.

Cheng Gongxing looked at him and smiled softly: "Smart people will die quickly, young man. I am just following the will of heaven, so I try not to take action when I can. But some people are different. Sometimes, it is a good idea to protect themselves by pretending to be crazy and stupid."

"Teachable."

Lu Chen nodded: "Then I won't bother you anymore, goodbye."

Having said that, he walked towards Zhongli Quan.

Cheng Gongxing lightly flicked his finger, and the space instantly resumed its flow.

Zhongli Quan looked at Lu Chen and said angrily: "Why are you leaving? Now the ancient monster has been released..."

"Stop talking nonsense! Let's go!" Lu Chen said in a cold voice and grabbed Zhongli Quan.

The latter looked stunned: “You…” You talk to me like this.

"go!"

Lu Chen stared at Zhongli Quan intently.

After a moment of silence, Zhongli Quan chose to believe Lu Chen and nodded: "Let's go."

Then he took Lu Chen and quickly headed towards the exit of the cave.

Cheng Gongxing did not chase after them, but just stood quietly in mid-air watching the backs of the two people leaving.

A small green snake slithered to Cheng Gongxing's ear: "Are we just going to let them go? What if Wang Xuanfu comes?"

Cheng Gongxing said without any surprise: "Don't worry, Wang Xuanfu is a more disciplined person than me. He knows what he should do at this time."

"What if he doesn't follow the rules?"

Cheng Gongxing simply said, "Those who don't follow the rules have all been killed a long time ago. Besides, this little guy is a little interesting. I can't figure him out... Besides Li Er, this is the second guy I can't figure out with mathematics. Do you think he can be killed?"

"Li Er..." The little green snake was speechless for a moment.

Li Er is suspected to be the reincarnation of Shenbaojun, one of the twelve ancient gods.

If this little fellow had the same origin as Li Er... let alone Cheng Gongxing, even if the Queen Mother of Kunlun was reborn, she wouldn't dare to touch him at all!
"How long will it take you to get out completely?" Cheng Gongxing asked, changing the subject.

"If that little guy hadn't trapped me, I could have gotten out within half a year. But now, I'm afraid it will take a little longer."

"That doesn't matter. It doesn't matter if it's earlier or later. It won't affect the overall situation."

"Where's that old cow in the north?"

The little green snake was still a little worried. The old cow had a very different origin than them. Although it was a suppressed demon like it, it finally submitted to Li Er.

No one knew what he wanted to do at the beginning. When he first arrived, he started killing indiscriminately without thinking. If he hadn't killed indiscriminately, these demons would not have been regarded as unstable factors and suppressed.

The key is that the old bull is too strong. Even these ancient monsters cannot defeat it, and it is useless even if the ancient immortals join forces.

In the end, it was Shen Baojun who took action personally to suppress it.

Cheng Gongxing said without any worries: "He only dared to wander around outside the Central Plains. Li Er went west through Hangu Pass and took him out. The Central Plains was unified by the Qin Emperor, and the luck was like a dragon. He could only destroy the luck of the Central Plains before he dared to come in, but he chose the wrong way. Foreigners who entered the Central Plains would be assimilated by the luck of the Central Plains as time passed. The turmoil in the Hu Dynasty today is the luck of the Central Plains prompting some foreigners who have merged with the Yanhuang to eliminate the Hu people who have not merged. He wanted to rely on the Five Barbarians Rebellion to disrupt the luck, but in fact he has already failed. If he wants to come in again, he can only choose another way."

The little green snake finally felt relieved.

Cheng Gongxing asked again: "Green Snake King, are you sure you can find your sister's location?"

"Of course. My sister and I are from the same mother. We are connected by blood. Even if we are separated by a cave, we can still sense each other. Why don't you trust me?"

"Your Majesty, you have misunderstood. This is not what I meant."

Cheng Gongxing said: "It's just that I have a bad feeling. Li Er has been to Hulu Cave Heaven, and I am worried that he has done something wrong."

"Where are your mathematical deductions?"

"I've said before that nothing can be deduced about anything involving Li Er."

"Don't worry, I feel that my sister is still alive. After I am born, I will go find her."

Upon hearing this, Cheng Gongxing could only suppress the uneasiness in his heart for the time being.

……

On the other side, Zhongli Quan took Lu Chen out of the cave.

As soon as he came out, he saw Sun Haoran and the two brothers Ma Han and Ma Lang tidying up the clothes of the dead Xu Huangmin.

Seeing Lu Chen and Zhong Liquan suddenly appear, Sun Haoran immediately came over: "Master Lu, where have you been just now? Your body..."

Lu Chen said: "I went to Dong Feng's inheritance place."

Sun Haoran had already guessed it, and now when he heard Lu Chen say this, he couldn't hide the excitement on his face: "God has eyes! Brother Huang Min died without regrets!"

He turned around and looked at Xu Huangmin's body, and Lu Chen couldn't help but fall silent.

Sun Haoran turned his gaze back, sorted out his emotions, and looked at Zhong Liquan beside him: "Who is this..."

"he is……"

"I am Zhongli, a wandering Taoist." Zhongli Quan bowed and did not let Lu Chen introduce himself.

Lu Chen looked at him with some surprise, but didn't hesitate and nodded.

Sun Haoran could see that Zhongli Quan seemed to be lying, but since Lu Chen was around, he didn't say anything.

"Master Xu's last wish was to bury his body here."

Lu Chen talked about Xu Huangmin's last wish, and then took out the Nine Elders Immortal Seal to prove that he was not lying: "However, Taoist Xu was about to ascend to heaven at that time, so you don't have to take it seriously. I will return the Nine Elders Immortal Seal to you."

Sun Haoran restrained his emotions and shook his head, saying, "Sun is just a Confucian scholar, not a disciple of Shangqing. At this time, it is up to the Ma brothers to speak."

Then he turned to look at the Ma brothers and said sternly, "The Shangqing Daoist tradition is of vital importance. Do you two think you can take on the important task of being the Daoist leader?"

Mahan, Malang: "..."

How could they not understand what Sun Haoran meant by his tone?
He immediately bowed to Lu Chen with great respect: "Sixth generation disciples of Shangqing, Ma Han and Ma Lang greet the Taoist master!"

Lu Chen watched this scene speechlessly, but in the end he didn't say anything, he just said: "I am an uninitiated disciple of Shaoyang Sect, I cannot..."

"Congratulations, Master Lu."

Zhongli Quan interrupted Lu Chen again. In Lu Chen's puzzled look, he smiled and said, "Remember, Shaoyang Sect doesn't mind its disciples opening branches."

Lu Chen: “…”

He gave Zhongli Quan a look that said 'are you sure?'

Zhongli Quan sent a telepathic message, "Don't worry, disciples of Shaoyang Cave Heaven are only disciples while they are in the cave heaven. After you come out, you can be a member of any sect you want. Those who recognize me as Shaoyang are Shaoyang. I told you that we don't have so many rules. Even if you take down all the Taoist masters of the Three Caves, Master won't say anything."

Seeing this, Lu Chen finally felt relieved. He held up the Nine Elders Immortal Capital Seal and said to the brothers Ma Han and Ma Lang, "Stand up. This poor Taoist has just assumed the position of Taoist leader. I need you to tell me some of the rules of Shangqing Sect."

Ma Han, who was more tactful, immediately said, "The Shangqing Sect doesn't have any rules. The rules of the Taoist master are the rules."

Lu Chen didn't believe it: "Really?"

Ma Han nodded firmly, "It's true, Taoist Master."

"OK then."

Lu Chen nodded. He didn't ask about the previous rules. If there really were a lot of rules waiting for him, it would be better for him not to be the leader of Shangqing Dao.

Lu Chen looked at Xu Huangmin's body and said, "Let's bury the body of the former Taoist Master Xu first."

Afterwards, Lu Chen used the River Map and Luoshu numbers to find a place with excellent feng shui and buried Xu Huangmin's body. He then led the two brothers Ma Han and Ma Lang to recite the sutra for salvation, then stood up and said to everyone, "Now I have to deal with some of the remnants of our sect first. Everyone, wait a moment."

"Yes, Master."

Ma Han and Ma Lang were the most excited. They had long been fed up with their previous days of hiding from place to place.

Sun Haoran was a little worried and said, "Master Lu, Wang Lingqi is a Yuanshen Zhenren, I'm afraid he will be difficult to deal with."

"It's okay, Fellow Daoist Zhongli will lend me a helping hand." Lu Chen looked at Zhongli Quan who was watching the show on the side.

Seeing Lu Chen say this, Zhongli Quan's mouth twitched.

But he nodded helplessly.

There are still a lot of things to do now, and he still has some questions to ask Lu Chen. It would not be a bad idea to clean up those troublesome minions first.

……

"Quick! He's running that way!"

"Surround him! Don't let him get away!"

"Send the Master signal!"

"..."

In the snow-capped Mount Lushan, a group of Taoists wearing Shangqing Taoist robes were performing magic and quickly passing through the mountains and forests.

Even those with the weakest Taoism skills can walk on the snow without leaving any footprints and as fast as lightning.

But even so, they still couldn't catch the figure in front of them.

The figure was like a slippery loach. Just when they thought they had caught him, he would suddenly jump out from somewhere else.

Just when everyone was about to catch the man, suddenly there was another scream from behind: "He's running to the back again! Turn around and chase him!"

"No need to chase!"

Suddenly, a familiar voice sounded in the ears of the disciples.

Then, Wang Lingqi, holding a paper man in his hand, flew out from the encirclement in front. Standing in mid-air, he looked at the disciples below and snorted, "A bunch of trash! Can a paper man make you panic?"

As he said this, he threw the paper man out.

"It's just a trivial trick. I want to see how long you can hide!"

Wang Lingqi waved his hand and threw out eight talismans, which began to rotate around the paper man's body.

"The art of Heluo, positioning in all directions, go!"

The paper man spontaneously combusted in mid-air without any fire and turned into a ball of ashes in an instant.

The flying ashes fell on eight pieces of talisman paper. In an instant, seven of them were all burned. Only one talisman paper remained and flew quickly in one direction.

"Follow the talisman and chase!"

At Wang Lingqi's command, all the disciples followed suit.

Finally, after crossing three more hills, the talisman floated in a forest and remained motionless.

Wang Lingqi frowned and looked at the surrounding area, there was no trace of human figures.

"The tracking charm has been discovered... They must not have gone far. Search!"

"Here!"

All the disciples dispersed immediately, and when Wang Lingqi was about to disperse to look for him, he suddenly felt dark in front of his eyes and disappeared from the spot in an instant.

When Wang Lingqi came back to his senses, what came into view was the figures of disciples hanging on the treetops.

He was the only one who was different; he remained standing.

However, all his magic power and soul were sealed, and even his physical body seemed to be fixed with acupuncture points and unable to move. Only his head could move.

Wang Lingqi did not panic, but turned his head to look, and sure enough, he saw a figure holding a palm-leaf fan beside him.

"You have a good foundation. You wake up at this time." Zhongli Quan glanced at Wang Lingqi who had woken up and nodded.

"Who are you? Why do you want to capture me?" Wang Lingqi asked.

He had no recollection of ever offending such a person.

"The one who wants to take you is not me, the Taoist priest, but someone else." Zhongli Quan shook his head.

"Who?" Wang Lingqi frowned.

Zhongli Quan said: "Master of Shangqing Dao."

"Xu Huangmin?"

Wang Lingqi was very surprised at this time.

"Xu Huangmin is dead, and the leader of Shangqing Dao is someone else now."

As he spoke, Zhongli Quan glanced to the side and said, "Here he comes."

Wang Lingqi followed Zhongli Quan's gaze and saw Lu Chen carrying the last unconscious Shangqing Dao disciple towards him.

"It's you."

Wang Lingqi was stunned for a moment.

Lu Chen ignored Wang Lingqi, and just glanced at the Shangqing Dao disciples who were hung up, and couldn't help but said: "Senior, they are all Shangqing disciples, they should not be treated like this, let them all down."

"Wouldn't this give them a little shock?"

Zhongli Quan laughed and said, "Since you are so kind, then forget it."

As he spoke, he fanned the cushion in his hand, and the vines that were hanging up the Shangqing Sect disciples loosened one after another, and the bodies of the Shangqing Sect disciples all fell to the ground.

Lu Chen didn't care this time.

These are the seeds of the Shangqing Sect, and some of them are not actually Wang Lingqi’s disciples.

It’s just that they believe in Wang Lingqi’s path, so they follow Wang Lingqi.

Of course, for Xu Huangmin, this would be an act of betraying his teacher and ancestors.

But for Lu Chen, these are the backbones for the future development of Shangqing Sect.

He has become the Taoist leader of Shangqing Sect. Even if he feels that his position is temporary, being in this position, he must be responsible for Shangqing Sect.

It would be fine to let him go and preach, but the elite backbones that the Shangqing Sect has cultivated over the past few decades cannot be wasted like this.

Otherwise, when I leave this world in the future, the Shangqing Sect will probably fall into decline in an instant.

Seeing Lu Chen speaking for the Shangqing Sect disciples, Wang Lingqi did not react much, but just said: "You are not from my Shangqing Sect, how can you become the Shangqing Dao Master?"

Lu Chen said nothing more and took out the Nine Elders Immortal Capital Seal: "The Nine Elders Immortal Capital Seal was personally taught by Taoist Master Xu Huangmin of the Shangqing lineage. Is that enough for me?"

Wang Lingqi sneered when he heard this: "Xu Huangmin is not even qualified to represent Shangqing, so who are you..."

"Snapped!"

Lu Chen waved his hand casually, and Wang Lingqi was slapped in the face out of thin air.

Lu Chen said calmly: "Just talk, don't swear. We are all monks after all. It's not the right thing to swear all the time."

Wang Lingqi turned his head and stared at Lu Chen fiercely: "Who do you think you are..."

"Clap!"

Two more crisp slaps.

Lu Chen said calmly: "Why, don't you remember it?"
