Taiping Inn

The three disasters of earthly immortals are: thunderstorm, fire, and wind disaster.

There are also many ways to avoid disasters in legends. You need to see your nature and understand your heart, and avoid them in advance. If you can avoid them, you will live as long as the sky, but if you can't avoid them, you will die. But the "hide" here is not a literal avoidance, but a way to steal the sky and the day, to evade the "attention" of the majestic heaven, so that there will be no thunder disaster. Legend has it that there was an earthly immortal who used supreme magical powers to live in an ordinary person, just like the relationship between the sun and the moon, when the sun appears, the moon disappears, and when the moon appears, the sun disappears, and they rarely appear at the same time. That earthly immortal used the unpredictable great magical powers of ghosts and gods to borrow a place to live and confuse the fate and life of the two people, thereby deceiving the heaven, that is, "avoiding" the disaster. But in this way, this earthly immortal dare not intervene in the world at will, just like a wanted criminal hiding, and the heaven is the government, so this method is not the right way after all.

Once a thunderbolt strikes, it is like being discovered by the government. It is no longer a question of whether to hide or not, but one can only fight to "kill" one's way out. In other words, when the thunderbolt strikes, no matter where one is, whether in the palace, under the Nine Netherworld, or even in the cave, nothing can stop it. The "heaven" of the heavenly thunderbolt is the "heaven" of the heavenly way, not the "heaven" of the sky. When the thunderbolt strikes, it has no direction, no fixed distance, no fixed state, and it crosses all obstacles.

At this time, in the cave of the national teacher, a strange phenomenon of heavy clouds appeared out of thin air, and thunder shook, which was the strange phenomenon of the earthly immortal thunderbolt.

Looking at this Dharma image again, it is so powerful that Li Xuandu and Ili Khan were forced to retreat before they had a full-face fight.

Facing the second heavenly thunderbolt, the blood-colored light around the Dharma image gathered like a sea, turning into a huge blood-colored light column, rising against the current.

The heavenly thunder and the blood-colored light column offset each other, and the Dharma image was safe and sound.

Since ancient times, there have been many people who can attract heavenly tribulation and thunder punishment. If one's inner strength is perfect but the outer strength is deficient, facing the heavenly thunder, one must "bear" the thunder. To put it bluntly, one must be fully prepared and bear the thunder. If one can bear it, everything will be fine. If one cannot bear it, he will be turned into ashes under the thunder. As for the perfection of outer strength, one must do good deeds. Except for a few saints and ancestors who are no longer in the world, no one in the world can achieve this realm. Whether it is a geomancer or a national master, they are all working on their own cultivation. In essence, they are still doing the temple in a snail shell.

However, for now, the national master has made sufficient preparations, and the first two heavenly thunders have not been able to do anything to the Dharma image.

After the heavenly thunder and the bloody light dissipated, Li Xuandu and Yili Khan looked at the Dharma image that looked like the shaman of the royal court again. It was not until this time that they discovered that there was still a person standing on the shoulder of the Dharma image. It was the Saint Lord Tan Taiyun who had not been heard from for a long time.

At this time, Tan Taiyun stood with her hands behind her back, with no obvious injuries. Unlike Yilihan, she did not circulate her Qi and blood to the extreme. Instead, she was very restrained. Except for the naked eye, she could not sense anything. Just now, the Dharma image was surrounded by blood-colored light, which obscured Tan Taiyun's figure, so Li Xuandu and Yilihan could not find Tan Taiyun's existence at the first time.

Tan Taiyun did not care about the existence of Li Xuandu and Yilihan, but looked up at the cloud and lightning that appeared out of thin air, frowned, and fell into deep thought.

Ili Khan was obviously also deeply shocked by the actions of the national teacher, and only now did he speak: "What is the national teacher going to do?"

Li Xuandu said: "The national teacher wants to stay in the world forever. As long as he survives the thunder tribulation, the national teacher will have an extra hundred years. A hundred years is enough for the national teacher to control the entire Golden Horde, and even the Central Plains will hardly be spared."

Just then, Tan Taiyun suddenly said: "In fact, Xu Wugui also has such a plan, and even Zhang Jingxiu, they all think that staying in the world for a hundred years is equivalent to two lives of ordinary people. What cannot be done in this life can be done in the next life."

After the voice fell, Tan Taiyun jumped off the shoulder of the Dharma Image and landed not far in front of the two people.

Although Tan Taiyun has always been rude to Li Xuan, she has never been hostile to him. She and the Earth Master are two extremes. Tan Taiyun's face is not good, but she has always had inexplicable goodwill towards Li Xuandu, while Xu Wugui is very considerate and never hesitates when it comes to taking action. Of course, this is also related to the fact that Li Xuandu and Tan Taiyun have no direct conflict of interest for the time being.

Before Li Xuandu asked, Tan Taiyun explained: "I had a fight with this old guy. I didn't get any advantage, but I didn't suffer any loss."

Li Xuandu noticed that Tan Taiyun's right hand was always behind her back. Combined with her words "no loss", it seemed that she was trying to cover up something.

Just when Li Xuandu was thinking this way, Tan Taiyun suddenly turned her head and took in the subtle expressions on Li Xuandu's face. Li Xuandu couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed and could only cough lightly.

Tan Taiyun asked, "Do you want to be beaten again?"

Li Xuandu is not the kind of person who likes to be humble to a woman, but he has no choice but to face the situation. He has suffered twice at the hands of Tan Taiyun. He doesn't want to experience Tan Taiyun's fist again, so he can only say, "I dare not."

"It's good to know." Tan Taiyun snorted coldly, "It's not that I am arrogant, but the old guy wants to save his strength to deal with the thunder tribulation, so he has never used his full strength. But how can I let him do what he wants? He retreats one foot, and I advance one foot, finally forcing him to trigger the thunder tribulation in advance."

"Trigger the thunder tribulation?" Li Xuandu asked in confusion, "Isn't it only when the hundred-year period is reached that the three disasters of the earthly immortals will be triggered? Can it be triggered in advance?"

“Of course.” Tan Taiyun said: “Not all immortals like worldly disputes. If someone wants to leave the world and ascend, does he have to wait until the 100-year period is up? There is no such reason. In other words, as long as the national teacher starts the ascension ceremony but does not leave the world, there will naturally be a thunder tribulation.”

At this point, Tan Taiyun paused slightly, as if he was choosing his words, “This is like an ordinary citizen suing an official. You beat the drum to complain but have no grievances to complain about. You will inevitably be charged with contempt of court. The national teacher’s calculation is also very simple. I Under further pressure, he will inevitably fight me to the death. Even if he can win, it will be a miserable victory, and all the previous calculations will go to waste, so he simply gambled everything and took advantage of his own cultivation to bring down the thunder tribulation in advance and force me to retreat. "

Li Xuandu asked again: "Isn't the National Master afraid of the Saint King's sneak attack from the side?"

Tan Taiyun shook his head and said: "The way of heaven is fair. When the thunder tribulation comes, others cannot intervene rashly. Whether it is helping others to overcome the tribulation or taking advantage of the fire, it will burn themselves. "

In this way, everything makes sense.

The National Master brought down the thunder tribulation in advance. No matter how reluctant Tan Taiyun was, he had to withdraw, otherwise he would have to overcome the tribulation with him. The National Master has been preparing for many years. Not to mention being fully prepared, he still has a 50% chance. Tan Taiyun has only been promoted to the realm of immortality for a short time, so naturally he cannot compare with the National Master who has lived for many years.

Li Xuandu and Tan Taiyun communicated in the Central Plains Mandarin, and Yili Khan could understand them. He also asked in the Central Plains Mandarin: "May I ask the Holy Lord, where is the National Master's original body now?"

Tan Taiyun raised his hand and pointed to the Dharma image, saying: "Isn't that it?"

Li Xuandu and Yili Khan were both shocked.

The Dharma image and the Dharma body have many similarities. The difference is that the Dharma image is an external manifestation, similar to the incarnation outside the body, while the Dharma body is the original body, similar to the magical power of the Buddhist golden body. The most obvious difference between the two is the size. The Dharma image is virtual, so it can be very large, even a Dharma image of a hundred feet is not uncommon. The Dharma body is real, and it is quite good to have a golden body of six feet. But the National Master in front of them is thirty feet tall, so Li Xuandu and Yili Khan's first reaction is the Dharma image, not the Dharma body. The thirty-foot Dharma body is really too terrifying.

Li Xuandu couldn't help looking at the top of the national teacher's head. There were clouds and mists, which had gradually covered the national teacher's feather crown. The electric snakes were moving in it, but they had not fallen for a long time. It was conceivable that the next third thunder would be far better than the previous two thunders.

Li Xuandu asked: "What should we do now?"

Tan Taiyun was a little irritated and said angrily: "I am only 20 years older than you, not Xu, Li, Zhang and other old men. This is the first time I have seen such a thing. How can I know?"

Li Xuandu sighed: "Old people are still experienced."
