I Am Immortal

Chapter 653: Under the command of Taishang Xuanwei, the True Lord of Qingyuan Miaodao

The green mountains are long, the human world is vast, spring passes and autumn comes, several cold and heat waves, after all, the youth and years pass by in a blink of an eye, and the children of the rivers and lakes are old and young. There are many who are famous for a while, but few who can be intact. After the unification of the human world, hundreds of schools of thought coexist in the world. The remaining royal families and dignitaries in the original countries tried to cause some turmoil from time to time, but it always failed.

 With the last slightly louder turmoil, the strategist who suddenly appeared was put down.

The era of kingdoms has become a thing of the past, and the desperate fight of those with royal blood has become a footnote for the [strategists] to take the stage, and has been left in a certain line of history. Time has passed, and no one has Remembering these eras of separatism and division, everyone felt that the world was inherently unified.

 The emperors of the past dynasties, who worked hard or indulged in pleasure, were all awakened by the characteristics of human destiny, and either abdicated or regained restraint, so that human nature prospered.

 Unconsciously, it has been a thousand years of prosperity.

　　…………

“The Mohist government road has reached the capital city of Jinzhou. Please step back. The land of Jinzhou is prosperous and you can enjoy more..."

The clear voice was transmitted far away. A huge, dragon-like and snake-like mechanism beast stopped, and people walked out of its body. A young man in black clothes with a certain aristocratic admiration said: " The Mohist machine beast can gallop thousands of miles in a day, and ordinary ferocious beasts cannot enter it. It can climb mountains and cross seas, which is extraordinary."

“Although this is not the first time I ride it, I feel amazed every time.”

Previously, they were riding this [Dragon Ten Thousand Miles of Machine Beast] while climbing the mountains. A big demon blocked the way, but was directly smashed into pieces by this Mo family machine beast. Blood and corpses were scattered underneath. He couldn't help but recall the classics he had read, and said with emotion. :

“It is recorded in ancient books that the ancients 700 years ago relied on horse-drawn carriages. The roads were rugged and difficult to navigate, with many ups and downs. It was not known how many months it would take to travel this thousand-mile road.”

"If there are any bandits cutting the path or monsters blocking the road, let alone that. According to the standards of a thousand years ago, ordinary people may not be opponents."

 A young man next to him retorted: "How is that possible?!"

“People in the human world can basically draw Qi into their bodies if they breathe at the age of ten.”

"The energy is strong, and the fists and feet generate wind. Although it is still extremely difficult to reach the level of innate Qi, which requires a clear mind and one's nature, as long as you go to various schools to practice, you can have the state of Qi penetrating the whole body. Most of them go out Bodyguards and guards, whether they are from Confucianism, Mohism, or military strategists."

 “If you don’t have this realm, how can you pick up this bowl of rice?”

"As long as one out of a hundred is a military strategist, even if they are just breathing Qi, if you surround them and defend them, you can keep yourself safe for a while. There are humane gods stationed in cities everywhere. Please ask for help when you go out. Talisman can also wait for rescue."

"Besides, most of the monsters in the world, except for some evil guides, have escaped from the Kingdom of All Spirits. Most of them have cases on them. If they are caught, it will be a great achievement. Most of them have been trained by military strategists. The students have been suppressed, how can they still be so arrogant?"

“The last time a wolf monster entered the country, all the military students in the academy rushed out as if they were hungry and crazy, talking about the military achievements that had been brought to their doorstep.”

The noble young man smiled, but did not point out the young man's omission.

It’s just a sigh, but people today have forgotten that in the era of human kingdoms thousands of years ago, when practice was not popular, they only remember the names of amazing talents, such as King Weiwu, Su Shengyuan, Emperor Shenwuwen... etc. wait.

 The young man next to him called him: "Li Xuanzuo, it's time to go."

Li Xuanzuo came back to his senses, nodded, and said with a smile: "Yes, it's rare to come out this time..."

"It was originally a small matter, but I didn't expect that I would have to accompany you two, so I feel a little sorry." There were two companions beside him. One young man looked elegant and gentle, and was giving directions to the person next to him. The other one was solemn. Majesty, like a mountain stone, answered at this moment:

"It doesn't matter, this matter is of great importance. The teacher has arranged for us to accompany him."

Li Xuanzuo’s voice paused and he said: “Is the ancestor of the mighty king okay?”

The majestic young man’s expression darkened and he said:

"Teacher, his body is naturally healthy. It's just that when he was young, he rushed everywhere, and the various parts of his body were seriously integrated with the human destiny, and the backlash was severe. Although the teacher's friend often sent a lot of fairy wine, teacher He has also cultivated to the highest level, practiced ancient military skills, and lived for thousands of years without declining, but in recent days, the teacher has always said that he has reached his limit."

“The murderous and evil spirit of ancient military strategists was too strong, and combined with human luck, the backlash on the body and soul was too serious. It was a way of killing external demons, not a way of cultivating immortality.”

Li Xuanzuo was silent for a moment. As a generation who grew up listening to the legend of the Mighty King when he was a child, he felt complicated at the moment and said: "...My condolences."

The young man glanced at him and replied:

"The teacher said that he was very happy in his life, and everything he did went according to his heart. He also lived for thousands of years without dying, and witnessed many changes in the human world. He was extremely satisfied. Compared with those turtles huddled in caves in the sky, The immortals who have lived for thousands of years like dry bones in the grave are enjoying themselves too much."

"Life and death have been dealt with for a long time. Every day he just teaches us how to practice and compile military skills."

“You and I are not teachers, so how can we know the teacher’s state of mind?”

Li Xuanzuo laughed dumbly and said: "It's the principles of the great master of Nanhua, but you turned around and said it to me."

“That’s it, let’s go. The snacks in Jinzhou are delicious. After we come here to meet the seniors from the academy, we have to do that.”

The dignified young man looked calm, glanced at the gentle young man over there, and said, "Junior brother."

"gone."

 “Oh, here we come, senior brother.”

The three of them walked forward, and the majestic young man said: "But, what is Xuan Zuo going to do in the capital this time?"

Li Xuanzuo said: "I have been cultivating in the mountains with my teacher for more than seventeen years. When I came back this time, apart from being ordered by my teacher to resolve the matter, one was to visit my ancestors, and the other was to go to the Nine Monuments again as usual. Say goodbye."

　　When mentioning that incident, the expressions of the three of them became somewhat calm.

 “Is it the Immortality Religion?”

 “I don’t know…but, it’s possible.”

 The Immortality Sect leads people to evil ways, refines blood into elixirs, swallows them, and prolongs life.

　　 is a great harm.

The three of them stopped talking and found a place to stay in the city. They ordered famous dishes from the most prosperous place in the capital city, had a hearty meal, and then rested for a day. At sunset, He left his residence during the curfew and used various methods to head towards the location of the clues.

We walked forward, following the exposed traces, and disappeared without a trace, but we were already out of the city.

The figure that had been bitten before was running fast, which was no longer the speed of ordinary practitioners. The three of them looked at each other and quickly followed, but they saw it blending into the withered forest in the mountain. Li Xuanzuo and the three of them covered their auras. , and immediately stepped into it, only to see that after several turns, there was a different cave in the mountains, and an old temple was hidden.

The temple is hidden deep in the mountain forest. Under the moonlight, century-old dead trees are covered with branches and branches intertwined with each other. The moonlight is clear, and the shadows of branches and leaves are projected on the ground. The wind blows by, making small crackling noises, like ghosts. Although I know it is worth it. In the prosperous times, all ghosts and the like were suppressed by the city god, but they were still a little scared in their hearts.

But the Buddha enshrined in the ruined temple looked like something he had never seen before.

Sitting on the lotus platform, wearing the Buddha's fearless seal, he looked compassionate, his eyes were slightly lowered, but they were full of cracks. In the current environment, it was quite frightening. The majestic young man among them lowered his voice and said: "Xuan Zuo, what kind of Buddha statue is this?"

 “Why haven’t I seen it before?”

Li Xuanzuo said: "I don't know..., it doesn't seem to be the popular Western Buddha."

"Looking at it, some of them look like one of the ancient Buddhas that were swept away more than a thousand years ago." "Ancient Buddha? I heard that it was enlightened by Confucius from the West, but there are always some people who want to find out from the clues. Seeing the traces of these ancient Buddhas, I feel that the current system, which has been perfected by countless masters and masters, is not as good as these ancient things, which is really ridiculous."

“Well, my teacher said that there are two elements of yin and yang in the world, which encompass all things. Wherever there is good, there is also evil.”

“Thousands of years ago, the practice of Kung Fu was controlled by high-ranking families and major sects. This is true in the world.”

"Cultivation is extremely difficult. Although it is popularized and allows them to see a wider world, the pain of seeing such a vast world and not being able to enter is far worse than never seeing it. The flow of yin and yang is uncertain, and there is always something ferocious about it. People appear, and endless ambition appears.”

 “He is going to...”

And at this moment, they saw the 'Tail' who had been targeted for a long time took out several artifacts and set up an extremely complex formation on the ground, and soon a strange spell was launched, and there was a faint... The Buddha's light rises.

At this time, before Li Xuanzuo and the young man took action, the gentle young man in white had already drawn his sword, and a sharp edge burst out, and then it was extremely straight and struck the person over there. The 'tail' had not yet reacted. The knife had already passed directly through the chest, interrupting the spellcasting, and was seriously injured.

Li Xuanzuo's mouth twitched slightly: "Is he still so fierce?"

 The young man smiled helplessly and said, "It's always been like this."

The two hurriedly rushed over, only to see that all the objects had been cut off, and the man was slumped there clutching his wounds. Even if he was seriously injured, he could not react. In this short period of time, in this broken place, Behind the big Buddha in the temple, a dozen people full of evil spirits had already rushed out, surrounding the three people. The leader looked extremely ugly and said: "We have been discovered!"

 “You idiot! You didn’t even notice that you were being targeted!”

In anger, he stabbed the subordinate who had attracted the three people, but was shot away. The majestic young man raised his hand and grabbed it, and it turned into a flowing blade. He was holding an ink-colored spear and brandished it. Like a poisonous dragon, it instantly broke the body-protecting energy of several people.

 “This is!! the tactics of a military strategist?!”

 “A person from the academy? Or a military strategist?”

 “Surround them quickly and kill them. If the news here gets out, we will be in big trouble!”

A group of subordinates hurriedly waved their swords to kill forward. They seemed to be Buddhists, but at the bottom they were similar to Taoist methods. If you look carefully, they were a hodgepodge of various sects. In these dozen people intercepted At that moment, the leader turned around, half-knelt in front of the broken Buddha statue, cut the palm of his hand with a dagger, blood flowed down, and recited certain scriptures in his mouth.

The Buddha statue faintly emits a faint Buddha light, and all kinds of strange phenomena will emerge in an instant.

Suddenly, a sound broke through the air, and the spear turned into an afterimage, instantly piercing it. However, after piercing it, the man did not fall down, struggled to move forward, knelt in front of the compassionate and smiling Buddha statue, and murmured on his knees, with blood flowing. He got off, but still looked pious and said:

"Practice the power of generosity to achieve success, and the power of generosity leads to the attainment of Buddhahood. If you enter the room of the spirit of great compassion, your ears will temporarily hear this Dharani."

“If the donation is not perfect, this person will quickly realize the master of heaven and man, practice and uphold the precepts, and achieve Buddhahood by upholding the precepts.”

“I take refuge in the Buddha with my body, take refuge with the Buddha with my soul, take refuge with the Buddha with my blood.”

 “Supreme praise, supreme joy.”

 “Immeasurable life determines the Tathagata, the King of Light.”

 “The Buddha of Infinite Longevity!”

The voice murmured weakly, and with the blood flowing, the other people were defeated and captured. Li Xuanzuo looked ugly and said: "Longevity Buddha? Isn't this the ancient Buddha that was beheaded and erased more than a thousand years ago? ?The tragedy of Nalanda that year was still vivid in my mind, but this Buddha actually made a comeback?"

“Two junior brothers, this matter is bigger than we expected. We will seal this place immediately, and then quickly return to Jinzhou Academy to report to King Mighty and all the masters..."

But before the voice fell, the expressions of the two people over there changed suddenly and they said:

"careful!!"

 “Xuan Zuo, push away!”

  “?!!”

Li Xuanzuo's pupils contracted and he felt a shadow spreading, covering him. The Buddha statue behind him had absorbed the flesh and blood of these people. He came to life and said coldly: "...Now that I know, let's stay...Li Zhai, the leader of the dignified military strategist." , are you also careless because of your old age?”

“Only three of you juniors are allowed to handle this matter…”

 “It’s ridiculous, it’s ridiculous.”

When the voice fell, the Buddha statue behind had amplified the bright Buddha's light. Li Xuanzuo and the three of them responded together. However, although they were outstanding people of the younger generation, their cultivation was only one level above the innate level. It was necessary to experience and break through the state of mind. A glimpse into the realm of real people.

This mission exceeded their expectations.

This move is so domineering and vast that it feels like the sky and the earth have collapsed.

Then what I saw in front of me was all brilliant gold, the light was vast, and I could vaguely hear the sound of endless mysterious chanting. There were goddesses scattering flowers, and there were golden lotuses emerging from the ground. It was like abandoning this body, and the soul rose up and entered the world that is no longer there. The place of immortality in the cycle of life and death, but one's own will is still struggling.

This feeling only existed for a moment, and then there was only a flash of cold light in front of me. The scenes of the Buddhist kingdoms in front of me, the pure and comfortable pictures, collapsed layer by layer, turning into this mountain temple and crisscrossing cold branches. Suddenly, a cold wind blew, and Li Xuanzuo and the others woke up, only to see a young man standing in front of them.

Wearing a black robe and a jade crown to tie up her hair, she was able to withstand the majestic Buddha light with only one hand.

The Buddha statue that was transformed into an inscrutable and immeasurable fear was unable to go any further and said angrily: "You!!"

Li Xuanzuo came to his senses and quickly thanked him, saying, "I'm Li Xuanzuo from home. I don't know who your senior is."

"I?"

 The young man turned around, looking very handsome, and said with a smile:

 “Here I am, Meishan Yangjian.”

With one hand press, the Buddha's light shattered, and the Buddha statue was shocked and angry, saying:

"It's you?!"

 “Under the command of Taishang Xuanwei.”

 “Qingyuan Miao Dao Zhenjun?!”

 The expressions of Li Xuanzuo and the others changed slightly.

 Zhenjun? ! !

That person is considered a big shot among the six realms!

The 'Buddha Statue' said: "You, how could you come down to the mortal world? Now at the Peach Festival, shouldn't you be near Emperor Zhenwu...?"

Yang Jian raised his hand, silver light flashed, and a three-pointed two-edged sword appeared in his hand.

With raised eyebrows, he was not wearing any armor, only wearing a black robe and holding a weapon, he replied:

“I am here under the emperor’s order to eliminate that ‘backhand’.”
