The copy of the universe from the journey to the west

Chapter 276 "Random Thoughts of Taoist Wen Hou", the name of Lu Xiuchen suddenly appeared! (asking for monthly votes)

"Ms. Su, as an official, our martial arts department is concerned about the safety of all citizens. Of course, we will not ignore the will of individuals."

Finally, it was Zheng Faming, the person with the highest status present, who spoke. He pushed his gold-rimmed glasses and said, "If we really wanted to disturb Taoist Lu's retreat, would we come here for several days in a row? Taoist Lu is indeed the best choice at the moment, but it does not mean that he is the only choice. Taoist Lu is indeed very strong. Both publicly and privately, Zheng wants to make Taoist Lu stronger, because only when he is strong can our entire country be strong. Do you understand what I mean, Miss Su?"

Su Ze raised her eyebrows, she suspected that Zheng Faming had discovered something.

Su Ze already knew last month that Lu Chen was Taoist Ruchen.

However, she did not reveal the matter of Lu Chen's strength to anyone.

And what Zheng Faming meant was that he knew Lu Chen's strength?

She said calmly: "My master is only a one-time mission completer, his strength is not strong..."

"It doesn't matter if you complete a mission several times, for example... me."

Zheng Faming smiled, interrupted Su Ze softly, then pointed at himself. The next second, a burst of aura suddenly emerged from his body.

Meng Sili, who was closest to him, couldn't help but take two steps back and was helped by the people behind him before he could stand firmly.

"Innate Realm!?"

Su Ze narrowed her eyes slightly. She also felt the oppressive feeling of this aura. It was very familiar... It was the aura that only masters of the Xiantian realm had!
If it were in the past, Su Ze would also be under pressure, but now, the flow of the magic power left in her body by Lu Chen instantly expelled this feeling.

"Yes, it is the Xiantian realm."

Zheng Faming did not hide anything and nodded slowly. Meng Sili and others were stunned!

None of them knew that Zheng Faming was a master of the innate realm. Although Zheng Faming had shown impressive cultivation in the past and had even suppressed ghosts like Chu Renmei.

But I didn’t think that Zheng Faming was at the innate level!

To suppress supernatural events, all you have to do is find the rules to restrain those ghosts. If you really can't find them, the Martial Arts Department also has many extraordinary items that can help suppress them.

The reason why Zheng Faming was involved in the Chu Renmei incident was, firstly, because Zheng Faming happened to be there, and secondly, Chu Renmei's reputation was indeed very big. In order to be on the safe side, Zheng Faming, as the chief consultant, was asked to take action.

Zheng Faming looked at Su Ze: "Do you know how many missions I have passed?"

Su Ze hesitated and shook his head.

Zheng Faming stretched out his right hand and made a gesture of "seven".

"Seven times, only seven times!" Zheng Faming said calmly.

"How can this be!"

Su Ze's eyes suddenly narrowed, but before she could speak, Meng Sili shook his head and said it was impossible: "Those who have passed ten missions have not passed the Xiantian realm, how is it possible to become Xiantian after seven missions?"

There are people who have been assigned tasks ten times in his Donglu Martial Arts Bureau, but they are only at the acquired realm!
"How is it impossible?"

Zheng Faming chuckled and said, "Old Meng, you will know in a few days. This is actually an experiment."

Meng Sili was puzzled: "Experiment?"

Zheng Faming nodded and said, "The skills can be passed on to others. As long as there are high-level martial arts skills, they can be practiced. No matter which martial arts world it is, after I complete three missions, I will no longer focus on completing the missions, but on practicing. If the mission is easy to complete, then I will complete it at the same time. If it is not possible, then I will not complete it, but concentrate on practicing. Anyway, as long as we have someone who can dominate the scene in our martial arts department, we are not afraid. Others do not need to show off, but can just keep practicing."

"So that's it."

Meng Sili suddenly realized.

He was not a fool, but a smart man. He immediately understood the advantages and disadvantages of this approach: "The difficulty of most mission copies corresponds to the strength of the Chosen One. If you want to complete the mission, it will take at least half of the time in the mission world, and you will have to work hard. If you are not careful, you may get injured or even die. Therefore, maintain a certain number of mission clearances, do not concentrate on completing the mission, but focus on practicing. In this way, even if you don't complete the mission many times, your strength may not be worse than that of the top Chosen One who has completed the mission?"

Zheng Faming nodded: "That's right. I came up with this idea after the third mission. At that time, I was the only one experimenting. Later, the department arranged some people to do the same as me. We have a lot of people, so we are not afraid, and we can also retain our strength, so that other countries and organizations can't figure out our details. In addition, Wang Weiguo and others are at the front of the mission to withstand the pressure and obtain the skills for those of us behind."

"Of course, looking at it now, there are definitely shortcomings. Just like this high-level world, it is estimated that only those with a high mission clearance rate and high strength and cultivation can enter."

"This may be a shortcoming. However, whether it is a shortcoming or not, we need to conduct a mission experiment. Once the results are out of the Ministry, they can naturally be communicated to the various general offices."

It is normal for the martial arts club to conduct experiments. As an official organization, their experiments are actually not limited to this one.

There are hundreds and thousands of teams exploring the different rules of the dungeons in the heavens, and the number of mid- and high-level elite Chosen Ones mobilized is more than tens of thousands.

Manpower and material resources are being spent like water. In places that ordinary people cannot see, the Daxia Martial Arts Department has lost countless lives in its attempt to explore the rules.

However, as long as we can explore a useful method that can be popularized to the general public, it will be extremely important and worthwhile for the martial arts department.

Meng Sili's face changed slightly. He naturally knew about this kind of experiment. The Donglu Province Martial Arts Bureau had undertaken several different exploration missions.

But is it really appropriate to just say this kind of experiment to explore the laws?

Zheng Faming seemed to see what he was thinking and smiled: "Since I have said it, it is no longer a secret. The same rumor has been spread abroad."

Meng Sili suddenly realized.

Yes, if Daxia can conduct experiments to explore laws, then foreign countries can do the same!
Zheng Faming turned his head and looked at Su Ze again: "So, Miss Su, the number of times you have completed a mission does not necessarily mean that your strength is low. Even if Taoist Lu has only completed a mission once, if Taoist Lu is a person with extremely brilliant talent and comprehension, he can still surpass us old seniors."

Su Ze was silent.

Only now did she realize that she seemed to have underestimated the power of the authorities.

She used to think that the reason why the civilian Chosen One organization was supported was because the authorities were afraid of social unrest.

But now it seems that experiments are being conducted within the official system, and even these civilian chosen forces are actually test subjects?
Her mind was turning, and now she really had nothing to say.

It’s not that she couldn’t defend herself, but Zheng Faming’s words touched her deeply.

Firstly, it’s because of the strength, and secondly, it’s also because of the contribution of the official martial arts bureau.

It seems that many of the well-known but extremely important rules of the dungeons of the heavens are announced to the outside world as soon as the Martial Arts Bureau explores them?
As Su Ze is also a veteran Chosen One and a citizen of Da Xia, it is normal for him to suffer a psychological shock.

Zheng Faming looked at her and knew that she was somewhat touched.

That's right, revealing his strength as an innate realm is, on the one hand, to prove that the number of times the mission is completed is not 100% linked to the strength of the Chosen One.

And another point is also telling Su Ze.

The Daxia Martial Arts Bureau does not owe anyone anything. Yes, the Martial Arts Bureau is an official agency and has the responsibility and obligation to protect the people.

The Daxia Martial Arts Department cannot say that it has achieved everything, but it has tried its best.

What about Fangcun Mountain?
Fangcun Mountain is a civil organization of Daxia and also a citizen of Daxia!
Every citizen also has the responsibility and obligation to protect the security of Daxia’s territory and civilization heritage!
And now, he gave face to Fangcun Mountain without any force, all because of Lu Chen.

If you don't give her face, what does Fangcun Mountain mean to you?
The official can easily produce a master of the innate realm, so what about the power behind it?

Just as Su Ze said, the patriotic education of the citizens of Daxia Kingdom is very thorough, and countless talents have actually entered the official forces instead of being among the people!

The Martial Arts Department allowed some ambitious people to develop because it had its own calculations. It did not mean that the Chosen Ones from the civilian world were qualified to stand at the same level and say the same things as the Martial Arts Department!

Zheng Faming did not say these words explicitly, because Su Ze was a smart man and some things did not need to be made too clear.

There is no use making a fuss, I will only use my strength to speak to you.

If we really fall out, it will not benefit anyone!

I'm giving you face, so just take it.

No face for you...haha!
Seeing Su Ze in silence, Zheng Faming pushed his gold-rimmed glasses and smiled softly. He also knew that it was time to stop. If he pushed him too much, it might have the opposite effect.

He smiled softly and said slowly, "Since Taoist Lu has not come out of retreat today, let's come back tomorrow. By the way, there is a very interesting book in the underground palace of Zhongnan Mountain. We made a copy and sent it to you today. We left it here. If Taoist Lu comes out of retreat, he can see it first... Well, we'll take our leave first."

As he spoke, he waved his hand, and a member of the martial arts club behind him left behind a book with a simple cover.

Without waiting for the silent Su Ze to speak, Zheng Faming turned and left.

"Wait a minute!" A soft and elegant voice stopped everyone, and all movements suddenly stopped.

Keep the same action in perfect order.

No one noticed anything wrong, except Zheng Faming, whose eyes hidden behind his gold-rimmed glasses narrowed slightly.

He was not called, but when the voice appeared, he found that his body could not move!
Even the power that had evolved into true qi after the body was promoted to the innate realm could no longer be circulated.

It seems that this sentence is the law of heaven and the law must be followed by the words.

However, it only took a short breath of time for everything to return to normal.

Zheng Faming glanced at everyone else, and no one showed any sign of abnormality.

Not everyone is a cunning person, and now no one shows anything unusual, which means that he is the only one who has discovered something wrong.

Was it intentional, or was it caused by his own strength?
If it's the latter, it's fine, but if it's the former...is this a response to the subtext of what the other person just said?

He said nothing, and like everyone else, he looked towards the closed door.

Sure enough, the next second, the door slowly opened from the inside, and a young figure with a slender figure, sword-like eyebrows, star-like eyes, a gentle temperament, and wearing a beige Taoist robe walked out.

Su Ze's expression changed and he hurried over: "Did I bother you?"

As she spoke, she turned around and glared at the people from the martial arts club fiercely.

No matter what, in her heart, Lu Chen is the most important person!

"nothing."

Lu Chen smiled and calmed her down. After all, she was doing this for her own good: "It just so happens that my retreat has ended. I have gained a little, so I am leaving now."

Su Ze finally breathed a sigh of relief.

I hope I didn’t disturb Lu Chen’s retreat.

Lu Chen then raised his head and looked at everyone: "I am Lu Ruchen, the poor Taoist priest, and I am honored to meet you all."

Zheng Faming pushed his gold-rimmed glasses and extended his hand toward Lu Chen: "Master Lu, nice to meet you. I am Zheng Faming."

"I know, but Mr. Zheng, you are a forgetful person. It seems that we just met last month."

Lu Chen did not extend his hand, but bowed, then looked at Zheng Faming with a smile.

Zheng Faming withdrew his hand without changing his expression, and his face seemed a little puzzled: "Really? Forgive me for my poor eyesight, Taoist Lu, when have we met before?"

Lu Chen did not blame him for not remembering it or deliberately not remembering it. He smiled, and like a magic trick, a mask appeared in his hand, and he said, "Right Dharma Bright Tathagata?"

Seeing the mask, Zheng Faming seemed to have suddenly thought of something, and nodded with a smile: "The Tathagata of Pure and Natural Awakening? I see, indeed, we just met in Qinjia Village last month. The sky was gloomy at that time, and Taoist Lu seemed to be very different from then. If you don't look carefully, Taoist Lu back then and Taoist Lu now are completely two different people."

"It's because of my spiritual practice. I like to practice and keep healthy, so I get younger and younger as I grow older."

Lu Chen simply responded to Zheng Faming's test.

While answering, he also looked Zheng Faming up and down.

The name Zheng Faming is very normal. According to the era, the name Zheng Faming is very characteristic of the era. Although it is not as common as names like "Jianguo" and "Liye", it can also be regarded as a way of naming.

However, if combined with the scene when they first met in Qinjia Village (details in Chapter 113), Lu Chen felt that there was a great possibility that this person was a member of the True Stream of the Universe who had infiltrated.

At the beginning, Lu Chen bought a mask at the "Bian Que Medicine King Meeting" in Qinjia Village on the outskirts of the west city of Quancheng. It is the one he has in his hand now, and its name is Pure and Natural Awakening King Tathagata.

Not many people know this name, but everyone is very familiar with his other name, which is the Buddhist alias of the Jade Emperor.

It is also the embodiment of Taoism's conversion to Buddhism.

At that time, Zheng Faming was also holding a mask in his hand. Lu Chen didn’t know the name of that mask, but now he knows.

That is the Tathagata of the Right Dharma.

This name is also relatively unpopular, but his other name is equally famous, which is Guanyin Bodhisattva!
The True Dharma Bright Tathagata is the name of Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva when he became a Buddha in the past. Buddhism teaches that Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva had become a Buddha in the past countless kalpas, and was called the True Dharma Bright Tathagata. However, with great compassion and vows, he wanted to inspire all Bodhisattvas to save sentient beings, so he showed himself in the form of a Bodhisattva.

It can be regarded as an example of the reincarnation of an ancient Buddha.

Lu Chen also investigated these strange masks in his spare time.

In the entire Daxia, and even in the whole world, only Qinjia Village has the inheritance.

It seems to be very old and niche, and has been included in the list of material cultural heritage.

Of course, this is a small matter.

The most important thing is the name.

Zheng Faming, Zheng Faming...even a normal person would find it very interesting.

Not to mention Lu Chen, who already knew that the True Flow of the Heavens had invaded the real world.

However, his face remained expressionless: "Is that book for me?"

Lu Chen looked at the rubbings of the book revised using ancient methods on the table.

Zheng Faming nodded: "That's right, Master Lu, please do as you wish."

Lu Chen waved his hand, and in the surprised and astonished eyes of the martial arts club members, the rubbing copy of the book fell into Lu Chen's hands.

The name of the book is "Essays of Taoist Wenhou".

It can be seen that this is the diary of a man called 'Wenhou Taoist'.

Lu Chen flipped through the book calmly and quickly, flipping through it almost instantly.

Seeing Lu Chen reading this way, Meng Sili looked strange, and a member of the martial arts department seemed to have thought of something and asked in surprise: "The fastest reading king?"

Meng Sili glared at the martial arts club member fiercely.

The latter immediately fell silent. He was a casual cultivator who joined the Martial Arts Department. Due to his high strength, he was trained by Meng Sili. He was not very familiar with the discipline.

Zheng Faming, however, asked curiously, "What is the fastest reading king?"

The martial arts club member then spoke up: "It's a joke on a certain audio platform. Mialika is a black guy... a black guy performing a show where he only needs one second to read a book. That book... well, is about the same thickness as the Romance of the Three Kingdoms."

Zheng Faming: “…”

He turned around and asked this question unnecessarily!
Lu Chen closed the book at this time, smiled and said to the martial arts department's prominent bag: "Haha, I don't have such a fast reading speed, but reading books... is okay."

Read a book about Romance of the Three Kingdoms in one second?
Aren’t you afraid that your lips will catch fire?

The martial arts club member smiled awkwardly and didn't dare to say anything more.

Lu Chen looked at Zheng Faming and said, "Is this the notes of Taoist Priest Niu Wenhou of Louguan Sect?"

Zheng Faming nodded, with a smile on his face: "Master, aren't you curious? There actually appeared a...Master Ruchen! His name is very similar to yours."

Lu Chen put down the book, his eyelids drooped, covering the brilliance in his eyes. When he looked up again, he smiled normally and said, "The character in the essay is named Lu Xiuchen. Judging from his introduction, he seems to be from the same family as my Taoist ancestor Lu Xiujing. Although it is strange, why this Taoist ancestor is not recorded in historical documents, but time has passed, and many documents and classics have been lost for thousands of years... As for the similarity between my Taoist name and mine... Haha, I am also blessed by my ancestors. I am lucky enough to have the same Taoist name as my ancestor."

Lu Chen said calmly.

But there was already a storm in my heart!
Niu Wenhou was a disciple of Yin Tong, the founder of the Louguan School of Taoism.

It was exactly Ma Jian from Caolou Temple and Yin Tong from Yin Tong that Lu Chen had met in Zhongnan Mountain in the gourd world!
