Chapter 225 Lu Chen: Can I still quarrel with a dog? (asking for monthly tickets)
Lu Xingdao's handsome face turned red with anger, and his tone could not help but be sarcastic: "Master Xie, I have never done anything to offend Master Xie. Instead, it is Taoist Master Zhang and Master Tanji who have been targeting our Shangqing Sect. Why, we are all guests, but Chenjun Xie's family treats guests differently?"

Xie Hongwei wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Zhang Hu: "Master Xie, let me talk to Master Lu."

Xie Hongwei thought about it and nodded with a smile: "Master Zhang, please do as you wish."

Zhang Hu bowed his head, then looked at Lu Xingdao and said with contempt: "Guests are also divided into different levels. You are just a small alchemist, even if you are the so-called disciple of Master Lu Tian, ​​what can you do?"

Lu Xingdao said angrily: "No matter how low my cultivation is, it is still much better than some people who are married to other people!"

The word "marry" made Zhang Hu stunned.

Then he flew into a rage: "Master Lu? Haha, I'm giving you face by calling you 'Master'. If I don't give you face, who the hell are you!"

"boom!"

Zhang Hu suddenly threw the wine glass in his hand onto the chopping board, shocking countless people and making them shudder.

He stood up and pointed at Lu Xingdao, scolding him, "Taoism has only existed since the days of my Heavenly Master! The title of Heavenly Master belongs to none other than Zhang Tianshi of Longhu Mountain! Lu Tianshi? Lu the thief is more like that! You can listen to what I say today, but if you don't want to, you have to prick up your ears and listen! Your so-called Lu Tianshi is nothing but a person who pretends to be a god. How dare he call himself a Heavenly Master? You think there is no one left in my Heavenly Master Sect!"

There was a fierce light in his eyes, as if he was sure to defeat Lu Xingdao.

Lu Xingdao was so angry that his eyes were trembling. He pointed at Zhang Hu and said angrily: "You... are not worthy of being a human being!"

Zhang Hu changed his attitude so quickly that she was unable to recover for a moment and could not find any words to refute.

"What do you mean by 'you'! Go back and tell the disciples of the Shangqing Sect that if they encounter people from other sects, especially those from my Tianshi Sect, they should behave themselves. Otherwise, hmph... this will be your fate!"

As he spoke, the pressure of Yuanshen Zhenren on Zhang Hu instantly swept towards Lu Xingdao!

Lu Xingdao's face suddenly turned pale, and his body began to tremble and shake.

Even though the Xie family's formation blocked most of the pressure, the difference in levels still made it difficult for Lu Xingdao to bear it.

"Daoist!"

Shu Jizhen hurriedly looked at Lu Chen.

Lu Lin next to her turned her head with some confusion.

He seemed to hear something about 'the Lord'?
Lu Chen nodded and said calmly: "Well, although his eloquence is not very good, he has not brought shame to my Shangqing Sect. If there is anything wrong with my disciples, my Shangqing Sect should handle it ourselves. Outsiders... Hehe, even Zhang Tianshi came in person, and he has to stand aside and watch the show!"

After watching this farce, Lu Chen had had enough and it was time to wrap it up.

Zhang Jiao, who was standing next to Lu Chen, rolled her eyes when she heard this.

You vengeful kid, I'm not talking about you.

Forget it, who made me Zhang Tianshi?
Lu Lin understood what he said, and her face changed. She wanted to stop him: "Master Ruchen, don't act rashly..."

"Master Lu, this is a matter of my Shangqing Sect and has nothing to do with the Lu family." Lu Chen said with a smile.

Lu Xiujing, who was behind him, grabbed Lu Lin's sleeve and whispered, "Don't worry, father, we won't suffer any loss in this matter."

"oops!"

Lu Lin was as anxious as an ant on the stove, but was held tightly by Lu Xiujing.

"Here!"

Shu Jizhen was overjoyed and no longer hesitated. A powerful aura of Yuanshen Zhenren burst out from him in an instant, and immediately pushed Zhang Hu's aura away.

"Humph!"

Zhang Hu groaned suddenly, then took three steps back with "bang, bang, bang" before he stopped.

He covered his chest, and a streak of red fell from the corner of his mouth.

He had already suffered a loss due to his carelessness!
"Waste snack!"

When Zhang Jiao saw Zhang Hu being humiliated, instead of feeling sad, he sneered disdainfully.

Then he turned his head and looked at Lu Chen and couldn't help but teasing: "Why, you still can't bear it?"

Lu Chen's expression was calm: "A few vicious dogs are barking wildly, do I have to bark back at them?"

"Then why do we need Shu Jizhen to help?"

Zhang Jiao didn't believe what Lu Chen said: "It seems that your state of mind needs to be improved."

"The barking of a vicious dog has no problem with me. But if the vicious dog wants to bite my child, I will chase it away with a stick." Lu Chen said lightly.

They were just some "junk food" as Zhang Jiao called them, and Lu Chen really didn't take them seriously.

After the dogs barked, Lu Chen would teach them a lesson, but he would not go to great lengths to do so.

With Shu Jizhen here, why would he have to dirty his hands?
Now that my status is higher, my mentality has changed a little.

If it were some hot-blooded protagonist, he would have flipped the table long ago.

However, Lu Chen is not a hot-blooded young man, and he also pays attention to some influences. Who hasn’t said bad things about someone behind their back?
Of course, just like he said, you shouted twice, then you shouted, but you didn't know my identity and you shouted, so I will teach you a lesson in secret.

But you don’t just bark, you actually bite?

I'm sorry, if I can't kill you, I will at least break all your teeth to prevent you from biting people in the future!
"Tsk tsk, it still doesn't work."

Zhang Jiao shook his head and said, "Look at those real immortals, Buddhas and Bodhisattvas. They have been scolded for so many years, but they still don't show up. It seems that you are still some distance away from the realm of real immortals and Buddhas."

"If a clay statue wants to have fire, it also needs the blessing of divine thoughts."

Lu Chen turned his head to look at him and sneered back: "Besides, I am an inner elixir, and I haven't even reached the level of the Taoist of Longevity. But you, Shu Jizhen beat up your Tianshi Dao Zhitou Dajiu, but you clapped your hands in joy. I'm afraid you are not far from the realm of immortals and Buddhas."

"That's still tens of thousands of miles away. If you let Shu Jizhen beat up my son Zhang Hui, do you think I will fight you to the death?"

Zhang Jiao smiled and said, "As for this Zhang Hu... Haha, I wish you could give him a beating. His father-in-law is trapped in Donglin Temple, and he has no one to rely on right now. He has also lost the reputation of the Tianshi Dao, so I can use this as an excuse to take away his position as the chief priest."

Lu Chen glared at him and said, "Is it okay to kill him?"

Zhang Jiao's expression froze, then he laughed again and said, "Well, forget about that. If you really want to kill him, wait for me to send a letter to Shanzhong and let Laojiu find a way to expel him from Tianshi Dao before you do it. Otherwise, your Shangqing Sect will really have to confront Tianshi Dao. After all, he is the head priest of Tianshi Dao, an absolute high-level official. Even if he does something inappropriate, if you kill him, it will be a slap in the face of Longhu Mountain. I'm not bragging, with the current strength of Shangqing Sect, Longhu Mountain can easily beat Shangqing Sect back and forth to Qingshan three or four times without taking a breath."

Zhang Jiao really wasn't bragging.

The power of Tianshi Dao that appears in the outside world alone includes one Heavenly Master, two divine commanders, five great governors, twenty-four treacherous commanders, as well as a number of ordinary Taoist priests, ghost officials, ghost soldiers and the like!
The power of Tianshi Dao is so enormous that it is hard to match it in the world!
This is also the reason why Tianshi Dao doesn’t care about Bei Tianshi at all.

No matter how much support Northern Heavenly Master Kou Qianzhi received from the Tuoba clan of the Northern Wei Dynasty, he was just an ordinary Yuanshen Zhenren.

Moreover, the path they are taking is one that relies on the fortune of the dynasty, which will definitely not end well.

Once Kou Qianzhi died, the Northern Tianshi Sect would be in name only.

The Longhu Mountain Tianshi Dao still firmly holds the top spot in the Taoist sect!
By then, the Northern Heavenly Master will still be integrated into the Southern Heavenly Master.

This is not the first time such a thing has happened. Wei Huacun, Xu Mu, Xu Xun, Ge Xuan, Ge Hong... there are countless Taoist geniuses from generation to generation!
But, so what?
Under the cave, Longhu Mountain is protected by the legacy of its ancestors and must be the most important sect in Taoism.

Lu Chen did not refute after hearing this.

This is the truth. The Shangqing Sect only has so much strength. Even if all those old guys who have been hiding in the world are pulled out, the number of Yuanshen Zhenren cannot be counted on the fingers of one hand, and they cannot compete with the power of Longhu Mountain.

This is also the reason why Lu Chen has not taken direct action yet.

If it is for his so-called face, then he can act without any scruples. Even Zhang Jiao cannot stop him. Even if all the Tianshi Dao members go out, they can't stop him!
But the consequence of this would inevitably be that the entire Tianshi Dao would be mobilized to fight to the death with the Shangqing Sect.

He won't suffer too much damage, but the other Taoist priests of the Shangqing Sect will be badly hurt by his reckless actions!

He is not a person now, but the Taoist master of Shangqing Sect, the leader of a sect!
So when considering things, we must start from the overall interests of the Shangqing Sect!
One should not meddle in other people's affairs if he is not in the position to do so. But if he were in the position, Lu Chen would not be a tyrant who only cares about himself.

"Who's going to attack again? Buddha's Light Seal!"

In front, Master Tan Ji saw Zhang Hu was injured, his expression solemn, and he struck out with a palm towards Shu Jizhen, who was bursting with energy.

"Hahaha! It's you, Grandpa Shu Jizhen from the Shangqing Sect!"

Shu Jizhen laughed loudly and flew away, releasing the spell he had been holding in his hand: "Thousand Soul Xiao! Come out!"

In an instant, a three-meter-tall evil ghost wearing black armor appeared on the scene.

It looked like a ferocious monster, with dark clouds rolling in, blocking out the sun in the sky.

'Xiao' is an evil ghost in the mountains, and 'Thousand Souls Xiao' is an evil ghost born in the darkest place in the mountains. This evil ghost is born from the resentment of many dead people. Thousand Souls does not mean that he is composed of a thousand evil ghosts, but that he is more vicious than ordinary ghosts.

The practitioners of Shangqing Sect subdued the evil ghosts in the mountains and made them their generals. Although they were evil spirits, they did good things.

As soon as the Thousand Soul Goblin appeared, it punched towards the Buddha's Light Handprint.

"boom!"

The Buddha's handprint shattered in an instant, and an invisible ripple spread in all directions!

Countless people were frightened out of their wits and ran away in panic.

"Demons and ghosts, how audacious! Exorcise the evil spirits and suppress the demons, and pardon them!"

Zhang Hu also took action at this time. He held a piece of talisman paper between two fingers and quickly performed a set of spells. The talisman paper in his hand quickly burned, and a ball of golden light rushed towards the Thousand Soul Goblin.

"Humph! Are you the only one in Longhu Mountain who knows the art of talismans?"

Shu Jizhen sneered disdainfully and threw out a talisman paper: "Lock the heart! Go!"

A ray of light blocked the golden light, trapped it, and then soared into the sky with the golden light and disappeared.

Zhang Hu quickly took out the talisman paper again, and Shu Jizhen also fought with him. On the other side, Thousand Soul Xiao was also fighting fiercely with Master Tan Ji.

There is no serious battle between Shu Jizhen and Zhang Hu regarding the talismans and magic. Although every step is cautious, one could end up dying if they are accidentally hit by the other party.

But after all, outsiders couldn't tell what was going on. They only saw two people constantly taking out pieces of talisman paper, and then the talisman paper turned into light and collided with each other, just like a turn-based game. It was amazing at the beginning, but you would get tired of it after watching it too much.

But the battle between Thousand Soul Xiao and Master Tan Ji is different.

The Thousand Soul Goblin was originally an evil ghost, more than three meters tall, taller than a floor. With a wave of his big hand, countless towering pavilions and corridors were knocked away. With a stomping of his foot, the ground seemed to tremble a few times.

Although Master Tanji's magic can restrain evil spirits, he is old and weak after all. Although his Dharma image is nearly ten feet tall, he dare not let the Thousand Soul Goblins get close to him and can only keep dodging. Several guests who were close to him were directly smashed into a ball of meat by the ten-foot-tall Dharma image before they could react.

Everyone looked at this battle scene that was like that of gods and demons in horror.

An old figure appeared in front of Xie Hongwei and Xie Zhuang, father and son, and protected them.

Xie Hongwei said nervously: "Master Li, why don't you take action quickly and capture this thief?"

The Taoist priest will deal with him?

The old Taoist looked at Xie Hongwei as if he were a fool.

What do you think!

I am the weakest among all the Yuanshen Zhenren present!
The fact that I could last three moves against him is all thanks to the blessing of my ancestors!

But he couldn't say it out loud, so he could only say, "Master Xie, it's hard to determine the life or death of two Yuanshen Zhenren in a battle, and it's better to resolve a feud than to create one. You'd better think about resolving this matter, otherwise if he knows the key to the Xie family..."

Xie Hongwei's expression changed quietly.

Then his eyes immediately turned to Lu Xingdao.

When Zhang Hu bullied her, it was the Taoist named Shu Jizhen who stepped in.

"Quick! It's him!"

Xie Hongwei pointed at Lu Xingdao and shouted, "Shu Jizhen attacked because of him! Catch him!"

He said this to the private soldiers who were protecting him.

A group of ferocious warriors immediately rushed towards Lu Xingdao.

At this time, Lu Xingdao was staring blankly at the Thousand Soul Goblin. She had heard the name of 'Thousand Soul Goblin' from her father. This was one of the most powerful spells of the Shangqing Sect.

The Thousand Soul Goblin is very powerful, comparable to the average Yuanshen Zhenren, and it is also very rare. Among the several generations of Shangqing Sect, only the second-generation patriarch Xu Mu and another person have successfully captured a Thousand Soul Goblin.

And that other person was her uncle, Wang Lingqi!
But before she could think about it, she saw dozens of Xie family's private soldiers besieging her.

She immediately took out the talisman paper and wanted to fight back, but now she found that she could not use her magic power at all!

Only a real Yuanshen can take action under the suppression of the Xie family's formation. Without Yuanshen, inside Xie Garden, he is just like an ordinary person, and his magic power can only be mobilized within the body but cannot be released!

Lu Xingdao hurriedly stepped back, and at this moment, a figure fell from the sky and landed directly in front of her.

With a wave of his hand, Xie family's private soldiers were swept away.

"Girl, are you okay?"

The person in front turned around and asked.

"Nothing, thank you for your help, senior."

Lu Xingdao replied quickly.

But the next second, she realized that this person called her "girl"?
"As long as nothing happens."

The man nodded, glanced at Lu Chen out of the corner of his eye, and said in a voice transmission: "Good boy, you can actually attack me by surprise? Speaking of which, this is a girl, you don't even want to be a hero and save the beauty?"

Just now he and Lu Chen were watching the show together, but as they were watching, Lu Chen suddenly broke his invisibility and threw him over.

Otherwise, could he have fallen from the sky?

Lu Chen's answer was very simple and natural: "I didn't use any light force when I attacked. I could have crushed them to death if I wasn't careful. You just said that if I killed someone, it would be like a war between the Shangqing Sect and the Tianshi Dao, the Xie family, and the Dazhuangyan Temple of Buddhism. It's different if you attack. After all, you have been a Tianshi for more than 60 years. It's reasonable for you to handle it."

Zhang Jiao thought about it and realized that this was true. It would indeed be more convenient for him to take action than for Lu Chen to do so.

He said nothing more and looked in the direction of Xie Hongwei.

Taoist Priest Li, who was protecting Xie Hongwei, felt his scalp go numb and his legs could not move. He said, "Oh...Oh..."

Xie Hongwei asked hurriedly: "Master Li, who is that person!?"

"Gulu!"

Taoist Li swallowed his saliva, then turned around and left without even paying attention to Xie Hongwei.

"Haha, Fellow Daoist Li, I haven't seen you for many years. How are you? I thought you were dead."

Zhang Jiao smiled, and appeared beside Taoist Li without him noticing. She put a hand on Taoist Li's shoulder and chuckled.

Taoist Li only felt his body sink, and all his magic power and spirit were suppressed, making him unable to move.

"Hehe...hehe..."

Taoist Priest Li mechanically turned his neck and smiled: "Li Hong greets the old Taoist priest!"

A smile broke out on Zhang Jiao's face.

All the people who were fighting around stopped their actions because of Master Li's words and turned their eyes towards Zhang Jiao.

"Heavenly Master!"

Zhang Hu was startled, and immediately ran over, bowing respectfully: "Disciple Zhang Hu, greetings to the Heavenly Master."

"Ah."

Zhang Jiao nodded, but his expression and tone were very cold: "Did I say I wanted to suppress the Shangqing Sect?"

“Never…never.”

Zhang Hu said quickly: "However, the people of Shangqing Sect do not follow the rules and preach randomly, even the teachings of our subordinates are not within their jurisdiction..."

"Rules? What are the rules of our sect?"

Zhang Jiao interrupted Zhang Hu directly, his tone gradually colder: "Do you think that my Tianshi Dao is a street gangster or a martial arts sect? Taoism is about preaching and making people do good deeds and practice, not for you to grab territory! You are the one who broke the rules of my Tianshi Dao!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he slapped Zhang Hu's dantian with his palm.

Zhang Hu's body flew backwards instantly and fell to the ground.

"I have abolished your Taoism. Soon someone will take you back to the mountain and take away your talisman duty. When the time comes, you will learn how to be a true Taoist in the mountain."

Zhang Jiao's voice was indifferent, as if he didn't think it was a big deal to abolish one of his own Yuanshen Zhenren.

This scared Li Hong.

His body was shaking like a sieve, and he was about to cry: "Heaven... Heavenly Master, my Li Family has never had any trouble with the Heavenly Master. Since more than ten years ago, my Li Family has begun to integrate into the Heavenly Master. I have never participated in this. I hope that Heavenly Master will show mercy!"

"When did I say I was going to kill you?"

Zhang Jiao's tone became kind again: "You are hiding very well, you rat. So many people in the north couldn't find you. It turns out you ran here."

Li Hong almost cried: "Master, I have turned to goodness."

Zhang Jiao patted his shoulder and smiled faintly, "That's good, don't be nervous, I just want to chat with you. Since you have turned to goodness, I can't just kill you, right? Haha."

Li Hong shuddered and smiled: "Hehe..."

"Hey? Are you laughing at me?"

Zhang Jiao raised an eyebrow.

With a "bang", Li Hong's body flew backwards.

Zhang Jiao slowly retracted his fist.

"Well, I feel comfortable."

People around: "..."

Why does this old Taoist priest look so unreliable?

"Cough cough!"

Li Hong stood up from the smoke and dust, covering one eye, and then said, "Thank you, Master, for not killing me!"

He knew in his heart that if he was beaten, he wouldn't have to die.

Otherwise, it would only take one blow for Zhang Jiao to defeat Zhang Hu. However, since he was weaker than Zhang Hu, there was no way he would survive this blow, and the injuries were just superficial.

"Go away!" Zhang Jiao waved his hand.

Li Hong bowed, then quickly winked at Xie Hongwei and quietly retreated.

Zhang Jiao was too lazy to pay attention to him and looked at Master Tanji again: "Tanji, after all, you are also a high monk of the Buddhist sect, and you are also a member of the Benwu Sect, so why are you involved in this kind of thing?"

Master Tan Ji is already very old, nearly seventy years old this year, but compared to Zhang Jiao who is over a hundred years old, he is still a junior.

When Zhang Jiao became the Heavenly Master, he was just a child.

Of course, Tan Ji also had some achievements. He perfected the Six Schools of Theory of Monk Sengzhao and summarized them into Six Schools and Seven Sects. It was also because of this achievement that he successfully advanced to the realm of Dharma.

According to his own summary of the six schools and seven sects, Dazhuangyan Temple belongs to the Benwu Sect.

They belong to the same faction as Huiyuan and others, and they all belong to the relatively quiet faction that does not get involved in turf struggles.

Tan Ji put his hands together and said, "Old Heavenly Master, this is the agreement between our Great Auspicious Temple and the Xie family. It is not easy for me to explain it in detail."

"Haha, are you still pretending to be nice to me?"

Zhang Jiao put his hands behind his back and said with a disdainful smile: "Isn't it just fear of death? Why, the demand for the power of incense has increased? Are you afraid to die?"

Tan Ji's expression changed slightly, but he just said: "Old Heavenly Master, if there is nothing else, I will take my leave first."

Zhang Jiao seemed not to have heard him and continued, "You just perfected the theory of Monk Sengzhao. The majority of the incense power is on Monk Sengzhao's side. You can't compare with the Four Saints of Guanzhong. Among the disciples of Kumarajiva, you are considered a role, but you can't compare with your fellow disciples. They are not afraid of death, but you are. This has deviated from the true meaning of your Buddhism."
