The copy of the universe from the journey to the west

Chapter 211: The Old Story of Luo Fengtian! Xu Lingqi Sends Scriptures! (Seeking monthly tickets)
How long is the history of this world?

It has been nearly ten thousand years since the ancient gods and immortals disappeared!
Lu Chen originally thought that most of the old monsters that had not completely died were from the Qin and Han dynasties, and at most from the Spring and Autumn Period and Warring States Period before the Qin Dynasty or the late Shang and early Zhou dynasties, but now they have been killed directly in the last era! ?
The gap between them is too big!

"The Six Heavens of Luofeng represent a part of the creatures that did not escape. Although they succeeded later, they still need to completely abandon their physical bodies and still need to sleep to reduce consumption. Well, it is equivalent to a small underworld. It is different from those who escaped from the Twelve Caves." Zhang Jiao said after shaking his head.

The world we are in now is a world in the shape of a gourd.

The previous cycle of heaven and earth took place in the lower level of this gourd world. It was also the first perfect heaven and earth where living beings began to appear. It is also the Yin-Yang Realm known to many practitioners today.

However, at least tens of thousands of years ago, some unknown change happened in that place, and suddenly a doomsday disaster occurred.

Yin energy exploded, countless lives were killed, their own consciousness was polluted and distorted, and countless practitioners had no choice but to seek a new way out after resisting in vain.

In the end, the remaining practitioners were divided into two groups because of their different philosophies.

Some people believe that we should leave the world and seek new life, while others believe that we should not abandon the world, but save it while preserving ourselves.

These two groups of practitioners are the Twelve Cave Heavens practitioners who are currently here, and the Six Heavens of Luofeng.

This is also the origin of the so-called immortals and ghosts and gods.

After the practitioners of the Twelve Cave Heavens came to the upper world, which is the current world, they began to reproduce again.

The practitioners who stayed in the previous world ultimately failed to save it, but they did not gain nothing.

They also found a way to block the invasion of the twisted Yin energy, and eventually evolved Luofeng Liutian.

At this point, a new pattern between heaven and earth emerged.

"So, in many things, Luofeng Liutian actually knows more than the practitioners in the Twelve Cave Heavens?" Lu Chen asked.

Zhang Jiao nodded: "In theory, that's true. And of the people of the same generation as the original Lord of the Twelve Caves, I'm afraid only Emperor Beiyin still exists. There are many secrets that only he might know a thing or two."

Emperor Beitai and Emperor Beiyin both refer to the same person.

Yan Emperor Dating!
It is also the oldest known existence.

Zhang Jiao nodded: "So Luo Feng Liu Tian must know the location of Hulu Cave Heaven."

Lu Chen seemed to be thinking: "So Luo Feng has to go to make up lessons for the past six days."

The location of Nanzhong Cuanshi is a bit vague.

He looked at Zhongli Quan. He said that cave-heaven practitioners could go to Luofeng Liutian.

"Then I will go there."

Zhongli Quan immediately understood what Lu Chen meant.

To be on the safe side, it is better to go to Luofeng Liutian to ask the specific reason.

"Sorry to trouble you, senior."

"It's no trouble at all. It's a piece of cake."

Zhongli Quan shook his head, then said to Zhang Jiao: "By the way, please send the Three Emperors Sutra of the Tianshi Dao over as soon as possible."

Zhang Jiao nodded and looked at Zhang Feng: "Old Nine, you can go there and then go to the Three Emperors Sect and get the Great Three Emperors Sutra."

Zhang Feng hesitated and said, "Brother, will they give it to me?"

"Don't worry, it will definitely happen."

Zhang Jiao said without any worry, "Those guys from the Three Emperors Sect have long lost their orthodoxy, so there is no use for them to hold the Great Three Emperors Sutra. As far as I know, many people from the Three Emperors Sect think that the Great Three Emperors Sutra is a hassle. You just need to tell them that we only want the original, and we don't need the branch god scrolls. They can continue to cultivate new gods of the Three Emperors Sutra system. They can exchange it for anything, and even our Tianshi Dao can help them protect the Dao. If they have trouble in the future, they can also ask our Tianshi Dao for help. They will definitely be happy to do so."

"Ok."

Zhang Feng nodded. With the conditions given by Zhang Jiao, except for a few Taoist sects such as Shangqing and Lingbao, other Taoist sects would probably not be able to resist such temptation.

Zhang Jiao said to Lu Chen again: "Although the Great Three Emperors Sutra and the Small Three Emperors Sutra are not the original Three Emperors Sutra, the combination of the two can also show something about the Cave God."

The "Shangqing Sutra" belongs to Dongzhen; the "Lingbao Sutra" belongs to Dongxuan; and the "Sanhuang Sutra" belongs to Dongshen.

By combining "The Great Three Emperors Sutra" and "The Small Three Emperors Sutra", you can lead the Cave God Tribe.

Zhang Feng took Zhang Hui and left quickly. The New Year was approaching, and there would be activities held on Longhu Mountain at that time. Since Heavenly Master Zhang Jiao was not there, the Young Heavenly Master Zhang Hui would be needed to preside over the activities.

This can be regarded as Zhang Jiao's early relinquishment of power.

Given his current spiritual state, he can no longer continue to serve as the Heavenly Master. Perhaps in the near future, the Longhu Mountain Heavenly Master Sect will need a new Heavenly Master to take over.

The new Heavenly Master Zhang Hui is less likely to come down the mountain in the future.

Watching Zhang Feng and the other man leave on a cloud, Zhang Jiao's eyes revealed a hint of reluctance.

He also knew that after this separation, there might be no future.

"You should have followed me back."

Lu Chen on the side said: "After this separation, it will be difficult to meet again in the future. Xiao Zhang replied that he didn't know. If he knew, he would definitely blame you."

“Haha, it’s gone.”

Zhang Jiao smiled and said, "The inheritance of Tianshi Dao is orderly, which is good... If I want my descendants to inherit Tianshi Dao in the future, I must stay by Daoist Friend Lu's side. When Huier grows up, he will understand."

Lu Chen didn't understand: "King Wen's sixty-four hexagrams correspond to the sixty-four Heavenly Masters of the Heavenly Master Dao... It doesn't sound reasonable. Besides, how can the senior be sure that I can change?"

Zhang Jiao followed him, firstly to find the Hulu Cave Heaven, and secondly to stay with Lu Chen and say something like he could defy fate and change his destiny.

Zhang Jiao said, "I don't know either. This is what Cheng Gongxing calculated. It is a constant. I think Cheng Gongxing's numbers are constants, and Daoyou Lu's numbers are variables. Maybe they can make some changes to the future of Tianshi Dao? Anyway, I will follow you."

Lu Chen became more and more helpless.

"Prefect Zhao Wei is actually dead. He is nothing but a shell now."

Zhang Jiao continued, "This is the secret method I use. It can only make people look like living people and appear normal, but after three days, their souls will disappear. By then, the luck of the prefectural governor's mansion will definitely fluctuate. It is safer for me to stay with you, Fellow Daoist Lu."

The prefect Zhao Hui had actually been killed by Lu Song and Xiao.

It was just that later on, Zhang Jiao needed the presence of the prefect to stabilize his luck, so he used the secret technique. This was also the reason why Zhang Jiao would cast a spell to intimidate anyone who came to the prefect's mansion to investigate.

This was to prevent people from discovering the secret that the prefect Zhao Hui was dead.

Zhongli Quan also said, "It's too dangerous for you to go alone. I'm going to Luofeng Liutian. It's not safe for you to go without someone by your side. Although Zhang Jiao's body is gone, he is the spirit of the Taoist Immortal after all. It will be safer for him to follow you. The Cuan family is located in the south, so it may be dangerous."

Zhongli Quan also went to Luofeng Mountain to look for Lord Nanming.

It’s not certain when I can come back.

Lu Chen and he agreed on a time. At the turn of autumn and winter next year, if Zhongli Quan did not return, Lu Chen would set off for Nanzhong on his own.

Zhongli Quan hasn't come back for such a long time, he must have encountered some trouble.

Hearing this, Lu Chen didn't know what to say.

Zhongli Quan had already prepared for the six-day expedition to Luofeng, and even prepared to report to Wang Xuanfu in Shaoyang Cave Heaven.

After all, he couldn't tell what Luo Feng Liutian thought about the emergence of the "Change of Owner".

So if Lu Chen can avoid going, he should not go.

"Does the senior have anything to rely on?" Lu Chen asked Zhang Jiao.

"Don't worry, you don't have to worry about my safety. Just let me stay with you. I won't show up on weekdays. And if I follow you, I can also contact Zhang Feng at any time." Zhang Jiao said.

Lu Chen nodded upon hearing this.

We lost Lu Song, but gained Zhang Jiao. Can this be considered an upgrade of the "intelligent system"?
Afterwards, Lu Chen separated from Zhongli Quan. The latter needed to go to Luofeng Mountain, while Lu Chen went to the foot of Mount Lu to wait for Sun Haoran.

It was two days later that Sun Haoran came down from Mount Lu.

This time, there was a young man beside him, who looked to be about thirty years old.

"This is my descendant Sun Youyue." Sun Haoran introduced.

Lu Xiujing’s disciple in the future?

Lu Chen took a look.

This age... seems to be older than Lu Xiujing!
"You Yue meets Master Lu."

Sun Youyue clasped his hands together and looked at Lu Chen with shining eyes: "I wonder if Master Lu will accept a disciple?"

Lu Chen was stunned for a moment.

"You Yue!"

Sun Haoran scolded.

Sun Youyue shrank his neck.

Sun Haoran turned to Lu Chen and said helplessly: "I'm sorry, Master Lu, I'm not interested in Confucianism, I just like some spiritual practices."

Lu Chen nodded, somewhat understanding, and then said to Sun Youyue: "Sorry, I don't accept disciples."

Sun Youyue was extremely disappointed, and so was Sun Haoran. Sun Youyue had originally been placed by Sun Haoran's side with Daosheng, and the intention of bringing him down the mountain now was to find Lu Chen and see if he could become a disciple under the name of Lu Chen, the new Shangqing Taoist master, and become the founding disciple.

Seeing this, Lu Chen smiled and said, "However, I have a junior brother, I can introduce him to you."

"Really? Thank you, Master!" Sun Youyue immediately became happy.

Sun Haoran was not very excited and said hesitantly: "Could it be that Master Lu's junior fellow apprentice is... Xiu Jing?"

"Xiu Jing?" Sun Youyue was also stunned.

Sun Youyue is indeed seven or eight years older than Lu Xiujing.

When Lu Xiujing was studying in the Sun Family School, Sun Youyue, as an older brother, took Lu Xiujing out to play.

Lu Chen smiled and nodded: "Xiu Jing is also a practicing master now. Within three years, he will be able to reach the level of a magician. Within ten years, he may become a Yuanshen Zhenren. It is also possible to accept You Yue as a disciple."

Sun Haoran's eyes widened immediately: "Xiu Jing has such a high fortune?"

"Mr. Sun, you will know in the future that I am not lying." Lu Chen nodded with a smile.

Lu Xiujing's aptitude in this world is probably only slightly weaker than his and Cheng Gongxing.

It is not much worse than the masters of other Taoist sects in history, and it may even be better.

Sun Youyue and Lu Xiujing already knew each other, so if he became Lu Xiujing's disciple, he would definitely benefit a lot in the future.

Although Sun Youyue was a little embarrassed, he nodded in agreement after hearing what Lu Chen said. The ancient sages all said that the wise are the teachers.

There is nothing embarrassing about taking someone who is better than you as your master.

Afterwards, the three of them went to Yuzhang and found Shu Jizhen and the two Ma brothers.

"Brother, you want me to accept Brother You Yue as my apprentice?"

After hearing what Lu Chen said, Lu Xiujing was stunned for a moment. He looked at Sun Youyue and couldn't help but said, "But Brother Youyue is older than me. Besides, I don't know any cultivation methods yet."

"Just teach him whatever Mr. Bai taught you."

Lu Chen smiled and said, "Learn while teaching. As the ancients said, review the old to learn the new. When you teach him, it is equivalent to learning again. As for his young age..."

He looked at Sun Youyue.

The latter looked solemn, and bowed to Lu Xiujing and said, "Xiujing... Master Lu, the one who goes first is the teacher, there is nothing wrong with that."

"Brother You Yue."

Lu Xiujing hurriedly stepped forward to support Sun Youyue, but he still looked a little embarrassed.

"How about this, you two can discuss your own affairs from now on."

Lu Chen smiled and said, "Anyway, our Taoist sect doesn't have any particular requirements."

"That's good!" When Lu Xiujing heard this, his eyes lit up and he immediately nodded in agreement.

"This……"

Sun Youyue was a little hesitant.

Seeing Lu Xiujing's attitude, his father Sun Haoran also didn't say anything, so he nodded: "Okay."

The two of them didn't perform any ceremony to pay homage to each other, they were just old acquaintances.

It would seem strange to have something like a ceremony of paying homage to the teacher.

Sun Youyue simply offered a cup of tea, and in the presence of everyone, Sun Youyue was considered to have become a disciple.

Sun Haoran, who was standing next to him, also breathed a sigh of relief as this was the fulfillment of his wish.

Perhaps because of his royal birth, he was too much eroded by the power of destiny, so he has never had the talent for cultivation, which is why he has always followed the Confucian path.

And now, finally, there is a seedling that is capable of practicing.

Forget about the Tianshi Sect, Longhu Mountain belongs to the Zhang family, and no one else can come forward.

The Lingbao Sect has no connection with the Sun family, so it can only contact the Shangqing Sect.

However, there have always been conflicts within the Shangqing Sect, but now they have finally been unified.

Although his own child also became a disciple of Lu Xiujing instead of the Taoist master Lu Chen of Shangqing Sect.

However, Lu Xiujing and Lu Chen are brothers, so it is not unacceptable for him to become Lu Xiujing's disciple.

And Lu Chen also said that he would not accept any disciples.

By then, his successor will only be chosen from Lu Xiujing.

After all, he had seen through the moral character of the two Ma brothers, and knew that they could not achieve anything.

As for those disciples in the Wang Ling period, it goes without saying that it is also impossible!

Therefore, it is possible that my children may really receive the most important inheritance of the Shangqing Sect in the future!
Lu Chen glanced at Sun Haoran, who was a little excited, and just smiled.

Lu Chen could naturally understand some of his thoughts, but he didn't care.

The future is theirs, and it is up to them to create how it will turn out.

After the apprenticeship was over, Lu Chen called Shu Jizhen and the Ma brothers over.

"Master Shu, you will go to Qiantang with the Ma brothers and bring the inheritance of the Shangqing Sect with you."

Shu Jizhen nodded.

Then he took the Ma brothers away.

Not long after, the disciple came to report that the Taoist master of Lingbao Sect was visiting.

"They all have good noses."

Lu Chen smiled and called Lu Xiujing to come over to greet them.

Outside the gate, Xu Lingqi stood at the door. Behind him, several disciples of the Lingbao Sect were each carrying a large box.

"Master Xu, please come here. I hope you can forgive me for not coming to greet you." Lu Chen came out.

Xu Lingqi bowed his head and said, "Daoyou Lu, you are joking. We have already agreed that now that you have become the master of Shangqing Dao, I must keep my promise and have brought all my Lingbao inheritances with me. However, the newly promoted Lingbao Sutra has been used by me to make my soul merge with the Dao, so I can only bring Lingbao Wufu Sutra. However, I have brought all other inheritances with me, please check them."

Lu Chen looked at the black boxes and couldn't help but be stunned.

Isn’t Xu Lingqi too honest?

Are they moving all their old assets here?
"Friend Xu, what I said was just a joke."

Lu Chen shook his head helplessly.

At the beginning, Xu Lingqi said that he wanted to examine Lu Chen's character. If he passed the test, he would give Lu Chen the classics of his Lingbao Sect and let him live up to the title of "Third Cave Disciple".

And Lu Chen became the Taoist leader of Shangqing Sect. It seems that Shangqing Sect evolved peacefully, which already represents Lu Chen's ability.

The natural test is considered to be passed.

Xu Lingqi smiled and said, "You don't have to worry about it, fellow Daoist. Apart from the Lingbao Five Talismans Sutra, all other fundamental inheritances of the divine throne are just rubbings."

Lu Chen finally breathed a sigh of relief. He was really afraid that Xu Lingqi would reveal all his secrets to him.

But if it's just a rubbing now, then it's fine.

Even the "Lingbao Five Talismans Scripture" was in a sealed state, which made it useless to the Lingbao Sect.

"Thank you."

Lu Chen thanked him.

Xu Lingqi said: "I should thank you, Daoist Fellow Lu. If Daoist Fellow Lu can really combine the three caves into one, it will be a great thing for the Dao Sect."

Xu Lingqi was also filled with emotion.

No matter which Buddhist lineage it is, there will be exchanges. Just look at the prosperity of Donglin Temple.

It was the joint efforts of several major branches of Buddhism that made Donglin Temple prosperous.

Xu Lingqi also had a far-sighted vision. He naturally saw that the integration of the major branches of Buddhism would definitely give rise to a prosperous Buddhist sect.

It also became clear that it was time for Taoism to change.

If each family continues to cling to its old ways, they will sooner or later be overthrown by later generations, just like the rise of Kou Qianzhi in the north.

If you don't change, someone else will.

Xu Lingqi was not obsessed with the division between the Taoist sects. In his opinion, if the Taoist sects could merge with each other and form a state of mutual blending, they would be able to compete with Buddhism in the future.

This is why after he learned of the name of 'Third Cave Disciple Lu Xiuchen', he went to find Lu Chen as soon as possible, and took the initiative to express his support for the integration of the 'Three Caves'.

Because he also understands that this is the trend of the times!
If you don't take the initiative today, you may become passive tomorrow.

Lu Chen expressed his admiration for Xu Lingqi's sense of justice, and then invited Xu Lingqi and his party into the yard.

Xu Lingqi shook his head and said, "I came here only to fulfill my promise. I am still tracking down the whereabouts of the Green Snake King. I will not delay any further. I will take my leave first."

After Xu Lingqi put down his things, he left with his disciples.

This made him more credible in Lu Chen's heart.

This is a high-level cultivator who truly only cares about the Taoist heritage!
After watching Xu Lingqi leave, Lu Chen arranged for people to move the things sent by Lingbao into the house.

He opened it and took a look. All of them contained records of the Lingbao Sect's inherited scriptures, talismans, and rituals.

There was only one copy of the "Lingbao Five Talismans Sutra" that was sealed and contained a strange black aura and twisted appearance. It was originally placed alone.

Lu Chen first looked through the other ordinary scriptures, many of which had been lost in later generations.

For example, there are many scriptures that are only heard of but not seen in reality, such as "Shengyuan Buxu Chapter", "Lingbao Buxu Ci", "Buxu Dong Chapter", "On Necessity", "On Rongyin" and so on.

Of these traditions, only some of the names remain in the modern Taoist canon, and the specific scriptures have long been lost.

Lu Chen was delighted to see these treasures inherited from the Taoist tradition, so naturally he wanted to feast his eyes on them first.

Just when Lu Chen started to read, he saw Lu Xiujing stretching her neck to look in, looking very sneaky.

Without even raising his eyelids, Lu Chen said calmly, "There are so many scriptures. You can read any one you want. However, read carefully. If you don't understand something, take a notebook and write it down. I will answer it for you after I finish."

Lu Xiujing was overjoyed when he heard this and quickly said, "Okay! Brother!"

He had heard that Taoist Master Xu Lingqi of the Lingbao Sect had sent him many scriptures of the Lingbao Sect.

I was itching to take a look.

His foundation was not solid enough, and Mr. Bai mostly only taught him medical skills and cultivation techniques, which made him have little knowledge of Taoist classics.

He himself is a person who is eager to learn and inquire. Now that he comes across a large collection of books, he feels the same itchy feeling as Lu Chen.

Now that he had received Lu Chen's approval, he naturally did not hesitate. He ran outside immediately, and soon came back with a pen, ink, and a few blank booklets.

Then he took out a notebook, tiptoed to a corner and started reading.

He kept Lu Chen's words in mind, and whenever he saw something he didn't understand or felt confused about, he would write it down.

So naturally his reading pace was not as fast as Lu Chen's.

By the time Lu Chen finished reading "Shengyuan Buxu Chapter" and "Lingbao Buxu Ci", he didn't even understand a single book on Lingbao Zhaifa.

Seeing that he was reading seriously, Lu Chen ignored him, waved his hand again, took out a book and started reading.

(End of this chapter)
