I changed the world

The sound spread in all directions like a shock wave, so that some soldiers who were firing covered their ears and rolled to the ground as soon as they heard the roar as if they had been affected by a bomb...

This roar roared twice more, with strong emotions of unwillingness, despair and fear, which made people subconsciously think of scenes such as a falling giant elephant, a dying whale falling into the abyss, and so on...

Eventually it calmed down...

At the same time, the surrounding monsters that were roaring and charging towards the soldiers just now also fell to the ground as if their strength had been drained, rolled over, and then turned into flying ashes with a bang.

Some large and small monsters fell from the sky, flapping their wings in vain, wailing, trying to grab everything they could grab, but in the end it was all in vain, and turned into ashes the moment they landed.

........................

………………

Even though it was not the first time he had seen this kind of "internal video", Li Jingxin still felt respect for the seniors who fought against these monsters in the dark.An inexplicable sense of pride arose in my heart.

I don’t know how many sects like my Kunlun are hidden in this land, but there is no doubt that my Xuanmen has been guarding this land...

Just when Li Jing was secretly sighing with confidence, on the video, the gray fog on the battlefield was dissipating and fading at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the scene further away began to be revealed, and more than a hundred meters in front of the soldiers , a huge and strange humanoid figure about the size of several floors emerged from the chaotic field of vision.

From a distance, it looks like a giant that is integrated with the ground. The abdomen below has been completely integrated with the ground...

However, as the picture zooms in, the details become more horrifying.

From the uppermost head to the lowermost part that has been integrated with the earth, this entire giant is actually made up of twisted corpses that are entangled, tangled, and pieced together.Most of these corpses have been decayed, and many have even turned into bones. However, under the influence of some unknown force, they are entangled with each other like worms in the water, and are tightly combined into a whole, forming this giant...

..............................

........................

What was even more eye-catching was a long sword that penetrated the giant's chest and abdomen. The long sword shone with lightning, was several meters long, and looked like it was made of blazing white plasma.

The long sword penetrated from the monster's chest and came out from the back, completely penetrating it.

Ten meters ahead, a man wearing a gray robe, leather boots, and an iron crown was forming a seal with his hands and slowly closing them.Wisps of electric light were swirling around him, creating a spectacle...

The next moment, a thick thunder column formed by several lightning bolts intertwined with each other penetrated the chaotic gray fog above and struck straight down. For a moment, the eyes of everyone present were filled with whiteness.

The giant composed of corpses erupted with dazzling electric sparks in several parts of its body. This time, there was not even a roar. The giant collapsed straight down, like a collapsed building. Like a building, the corpses on the body began to fall apart...

When these corpses landed on the ground, they disintegrated into ashes all over the sky. For a while, the sky was filled with flying ashes, rising straight into the sky.

..............................

........................

I don't know which senior master in the sect, judging from this method, it is much better than myself.Li Jingxin sighed again, there is indeed a hidden dragon and crouching tiger in the sect. The sect that has been passed down from ancient times to this day is indeed not an easy one.

Thinking this in my heart, I couldn't help but feel a sense of pride.

"Salute to the Supreme Lord..." Li Jingxin clasped his index fingers with his thumbs, stood the other three fingers upright, and prayed silently.

The emperor was secretly observing the expression of Abbot Li in front of him, and saw that Abbot Li had a calm expression from beginning to end. He even showed a faint smile at the end and muttered something in his mouth, obviously doing a mysterious thing. Door etiquette.It looks like he is paying tribute to the mysterious man in the video from a distance.

Thinking back to the information sent by Luan Yisi a few days ago, I suddenly started to worry about it. Abbot Li really knew something. No... maybe, it was not just as simple as "knowing"...

These Taoist sects have been passed down for thousands of years. During this period, many dynasties have risen and fallen, and it is unknown how many secrets are hidden behind them...

At this time, everything in the video has finished playing, and the projected light has disappeared, just like watching a blockbuster.

"This is an incident that was handled by a unit from the Special Crime Investigation Bureau of the Ministry of Justice on the night of February 2 this year." The emperor picked up the teacup, stroked it gently without bringing it to his mouth, and turned to look at Li Jingxin.

Seeing that the emperor looked at him but did not continue to speak, Li Jingxin smiled slightly, stroking his palms and said: "I, Zhu Xia, are indeed crouching tigers, hidden dragons..."

After seeing Li Jingxin's words, he stopped saying a word. The emperor had no choice but to say: "The gentleman in the video has made great contributions to the country. Is he a member of Xuanmen? The abbot is well-informed. Do you know this person?" I want to reward him for his contribution..."

"Your Majesty's wish to repay his merits is naturally good. However, in case it is not what he wishes, he hides his appearance because he does not want to show it to others. As the saying goes, he brushes off his clothes and goes away, hiding his body and name deeply, and acting in harmony Why does Your Majesty need to delve into the true meaning of "inaction"..." Li Jingxin said calmly.

"Hahaha, what the abbot said is true. However, I can't see such a strange person..." The emperor shook his head.

"Your Majesty is responsible for all the people, and he has God's blessing. Looking at this man's behavior, I think he also hopes for peace in the world... If your Majesty has the intention to benefit all people, then he will follow his wishes."

"Abbott, this is what you want to do to protect your country."

"I heard that Yunxiao Mountain has been participating in charity activities over the years, and it's quite intensive?"

Chapter 429 I hit it off with the abbot...

"When my master was still alive, he tried his best to promote this. My master was kind-hearted, and he put it into practice when he was still alive. He combined some properties in the temple with donations from some good believers to set up a special fund. Now, although my master has become a disciple, But I don’t dare to betray my master’s teachings.” After saying that, Li Jingxin introduced some of the charity events that Yunxiao Mountain had done over the years to the emperor.

The emperor listened carefully, asked a few questions from time to time, and finally said: "The abbot has done good deeds and accumulated virtue. This is very good. The royal family also has several foundations. I will inform them later and ask them to contact the abbot..."

The emperor didn't say it directly, but judging from his tone, he was ready to invest money.For Yunxiao Mountain, having the royal family join the charity foundation is not just a matter of money, but more importantly, it is a symbol, which will probably attract many followers.

"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty." Li Jingxin naturally would not refuse and said solemnly.

..............................

………………

The emperor was in a lively conversation, and during this period the chamberlain refilled the tea for the two of them several times. Unknowingly, in the evening, the emperor graciously invited Li Jingxin to dinner again, and then reluctantly let him go. .

"The abbot and I hit it off immediately, and I hope that the abbot will stay in the capital for a longer period of time. I will send my chamberlain to take the abbot to visit the scenery of the capital." The emperor smiled and walked to the gate of the palace in person to watch Li Jingxin's master and apprentice leave.

Lowering his head and following behind his master, Yu Dezhao's head was buzzing all the time, and his heart was full of anxiety and joy. He had just witnessed the emperor sending his master out. This kind of treatment was the ultimate honor, and he couldn't wait to go back to the mountain. I was bragging to my acquaintances and brothers. It seemed that my Yunxiao lineage was going to make a big splash...

Even the old Heavenly Master from Danding Mountain has never heard of being so favored by His Majesty, right?

With many thoughts in his mind, Yu Dezhao followed his master to the gate of the Forbidden City.After the chamberlain leading the way registered the two of them at the Palace Forbidden Office, they walked out of the gate and saw two black cars with royal emblems waiting not far from the door.

"This is...Li Jingxin was slightly startled when he saw this."

"Abbot Li, this is because the emperor considered that it was getting dark and sympathized with the abbot's hard work throughout the day, so he specially sent a car to see the abbot off." At this time, the chamberlain who brought them out did not go back immediately, but stepped forward. Come, he said respectfully with a smile on his face.

"On the car at the back are some gifts given by the emperor and the empress, specially prepared for the abbot."

"This……"

"The emperor gave special instructions: 'The abbot rarely comes to Beijing, so he cannot return empty-handed. He must also bring something back to reward the younger generation...'"

"Your Majesty is so kind, but I am so disrespectful... Thank you for your generous gift!" Li Jingxin saluted solemnly to the chamberlain.After saying that, and looking back, Yu Dezhao hurriedly stepped forward, took out a bulging red envelope, and quietly stuffed it into it.

The chamberlain did not refuse, and accepted it generously, pinched it, and put it into his sleeve. Then he stepped forward and whispered: "Abbot Li, in the eyes of the lower officials, the emperor values ​​the abbot very much!"

..............................

........................

After seeing off Li Jingxin, the emperor returned to the study, sat at the desk, took out an unread document, read a few lines, and put it aside. He was silent for a long time, took a sip of tea and suddenly said : "De Rong..."

The maid who stood in the corner like a shadow walked forward softly: "I am here."

"What kind of person do you think this Abbot Li is?"

"I have never interacted with Abbot Li before, so I dare not make any judgments." The female official said softly.

"As you think, there is no one else here." The emperor waved his hand.

"Yes, according to Yichen, this Abbot Li is calm and indifferent. He seems to have nothing to ask for from the Emperor."

"You don't want anything?" The emperor thought about it with interest and said with a smile, "Your words are quite interesting."

However, after tasting it carefully, the emperor also knew that this statement seemed to be true.As the king of a country, even though the power of the emperor today has been greatly reduced compared to a hundred years ago, even so, he is still the most powerful person in this huge empire. His words and deeds can easily determine the life and death of many people. .

Because of this, the emperor was used to other people being respectful in front of him, but trying his best to show off and cling to them.Even if he is a big shot and a respected person in the eyes of some common people, even if he makes a noble gesture in front of him, as an emperor, it is not difficult to see through the eagerness behind that noble attitude.

As long as you behave like a courteous and virtuous corporal, most of these people will get off the donkey, and then there will be a group of monarchs and ministers...

If the relationship between monarch and ministers is also a game, then as the emperor, he is undoubtedly in an absolutely dominant position in this game.

However, the Abbot Li just now gave him a rare feeling of being out of control and having nowhere to start. Thinking about it carefully, it seemed that it was just as the female official said, "I don't want anything."

People in the world cling to power because they have needs, either for power or fame and fortune. However, Abbot Li gave people the impression that he seemed to be keeping a certain distance from the emperor, intentionally or unintentionally.

"I once heard that Emperor Taizong wanted to recruit Wang Taizhen to the capital, but failed to do so. He sent people to the mountains to invite him, but Wang Taizhen wandered around and was never seen. Emperor Taizong thought it was a regret for his life."

The emperor paused and then said: "Now it seems that Emperor Taizong might have known something at that time..."

It was difficult for the female officer on the side to answer this topic. After all, if it was not good to talk to the emperor about abstruse matters, it would be a hat to confuse the emperor.

"This Yunxiao Mountain is said to be inherited from Lu Tianshi in the late Xia Dynasty, but it seems to have extraordinary heritage..." The emperor's expression was dull. Before this, the Taoist priests from Puji Palace who he had come into contact with most were the Taoist priests from Puji Palace. After all, it is the royal family temple.However, now that I think back to the Master Dexuan of Puji Palace, even though he has an attitude of great virtue and great merit, the desire to follow him in his heart cannot be eradicated.Normally I don't feel anything, but if I compare myself with Abbot Li just now, I do feel like I am superior to him.

Regardless of your knowledge and cultivation, this bearing alone is not on the same level...

Through the conversation with Li Jingxin just now, he could naturally judge that Abbot Li really knew something and really understood what happened, and was not just a pretentious person.

What's more, the emperor was well aware of what happened in Puji Palace a few days ago...

By the way, he is also familiar with the Master Dexuan of Puji Palace.But to be honest, what disappointed the emperor was that he was sure that although the real person Dexuan was under the authority of the real person, when he really asked about the many strange things that had happened recently, he felt helpless and confused, no matter what. It can't be concealed no matter what.

Although this Puji Palace has been a beautiful palace for hundreds of years, it still lacks the foundation after all...

"The mountain is not high, but if it has immortals, it will be famous... What the ancients said is true." The emperor sighed secretly.

Chapter 4 The Fear of the Heavenly Master

承和37年西历2016年3月19日20:25京师青云观

Qingyun Temple in the northern suburbs of the capital is the famous Xuanmen Temple in the capital. It is the largest palace in the Tianshi Mansion on Danding Mountain in the north and has a history of more than [-] years.

It was already dark at this time, and in a study room in a single courtyard on the back hill of Qingyun Temple, the contemporary Celestial Master Zhang Sicheng was sitting cross-legged on a Zen chair, meditating and relaxing.Already 83 years old, he is thin and has gray beard and hair. He has a bun on his head and some age spots can be seen on his skin. He is wearing a Taoist priest's robe at home, and his eyes seem to be open and closed.

There were clear footsteps outside the door, and not long after, there was a knock on the study door. The knock was not loud, and after a few knocks, it stopped.

"Come in." Zhang Sicheng slowly opened his eyes and said.

The door was gently pushed open, and a middle-aged Taoist priest who looked to be in his fifties walked in. He bowed to Zhang Sicheng and then said respectfully: "Master, I heard the news. This morning the Queen summoned that man." Abbot Li from Yunxiao Mountain entered the palace and didn't come back until nightfall. Judging by the time, he should have left dinner behind. It is said that it was sent back in a royal vehicle."

Zhang Sicheng pondered for a while after hearing the words, and then said: "Is it just the Queen summoning you?"

"I don't know the specific disciple. After all, it involves matters related to the palace." The middle-aged Taoist priest looked embarrassed. After thinking for a while, he took two steps forward and lowered his voice: "However, this time has indeed been a long time. Disciple feels that... maybe... I have to be summoned by His Majesty."

Zhang Sicheng nodded slightly, indicating that he understood, but there was no expression on his face. He slowly closed his eyes, as if thinking about something.

The middle-aged Taoist priest did not rush and stood respectfully. For a while, there was only a slight sound of breathing in the room.

After a while, Zhang Sicheng opened his eyes again and said, "Is there any news from Zeping?"

"The disciple knew that Master was concerned about him, so he specifically spoke to Junior Brother Zeping before coming over. Junior Brother said that they drove to the Hermit Mountain area today to search. They had lunch at Licun Village at noon and also asked the village elder about the hermit monks on the mountain. However, so far, they have not gained anything. They plan to stay in Li Village for three days to thoroughly explore the situation of Heritou Mountain."

After the middle-aged Taoist priest finished speaking, he paused and seemed to hesitate.Zhang Sicheng saw this in his eyes and said, "If you want to say anything, just say it. Don't hesitate."

"Master, this matter of searching for the masters... According to what the disciples have seen, there is no urgency at the moment. After all, the whereabouts of those masters are elusive, and we are not sure of the location. Whether we can find them all depends on fate..."

When Zhang Sicheng heard this, he frowned slightly, sighed again, shook his head and said: "Being a teacher has its own reasons for being a teacher. It's not because I am eager to be a teacher, but I have to be like this..." But he had no intention of continuing to explain. .

The middle-aged man wanted to ask a few more questions, but when he saw the tired look on Master's face, he did not dare to ask any more questions, so he said, "Master, if there is nothing else to do, I will leave."

Zhang Sicheng nodded, then waved his hand and watched his disciple exit the study.Then he sighed again, recalling the video materials that shocked him when Director Qian of the Administration of Religious Affairs came to visit. If he hadn't been good at cultivating Qi, he might have lost his composure on the spot.

Even so, when Director Qian asked for his opinion, he felt a little at a loss and had no choice but to be vague and confused.At that time, Director Qian only thought of him as the old Heavenly Master and did not want to say anything more, but after all, his identity was there. The Heavenly Master's Mansion was known as the first in the south, and it held a decisive position in both Taoist and secular circles. The influence was that Director Qian was the director of the Bureau of Religious Affairs. If the Heavenly Master didn't want to say anything, he couldn't force him, so he had to be polite and leave.However, as a master of human nature, he could naturally tell that Director Qian was a little disappointed.

After that, over the past few days, he had also asked people to compile anomalous information of all sizes obtained from the Internet and through other channels. Even the Bureau of Religious Affairs also sent some new information briefings one after another.

This information undoubtedly made Zhang Sicheng feel that the three views he had accumulated over the past eighty years had been shattered.

Originally, Zhang Sicheng thought that he had a very deep understanding of Taoism, Buddhism, and even Western religions. After all, as a contemporary heavenly master, he had been immersed in this all his life, and based on his life journey, he also He is well-informed and has extensive knowledge of religious classics.

Originally, in his understanding, this Taoist classic had its merits in guiding people to be good and cultivate their moral character. However, when it came to saying that one could become an immortal through cultivation and have vast magical powers, it was mostly based on rumors, and most of them were just the ancients. Due to the limitations of the era we live in, we just don’t have enough knowledge.

Of course, as a Taoist leader, there are some things that others can say, but he cannot say.However, although it cannot be said, Zhang Sicheng does have worries.I am worried about how the ancient system of Taoism will survive and adapt to modern society under the impact of modern technology and cognition.

Based on this, since more than ten years ago, calls within Taoism for "reexamining and revising the classics" and "reforming Taoism" have become increasingly louder, and some of the younger generation's masters even directly called "New Taoism" The concept of Taoism, and as the leader of Taoism, Tianshi Zhang Sicheng has always had an ambiguous or even vague support for this trend of thought.

However, these messages that have appeared one after another recently are like a giant hammer, completely smashing all the knowledge and concepts he has accumulated in the past few decades.Especially the figure of the "Xuanmen master" who appeared among those materials. From the familiar clothes and even etiquette and other details, the old master could tell at a glance that he must be a Xuanmen master.

Although Taoism has had legends of immortals since ancient times, playing games with the world to conquer demons and eliminate demons, but in Zhang Sicheng's previous understanding, it was mostly a means of attracting followers for the sect. Even if it was true, there was no explanation. So mysterious.

However, these materials and even videos with pictures and truths made him quickly transition from surprise, doubt, to a state of being at a loss. Everything that seemed to be extremely familiar in the past seemed so strange now.

Those classics, those allusions, and even those legends, everything seems to have become hazy and deep, with secrets hidden behind them that people dare not delve into.

This kind of understanding even made the old master, who was highly respected, knowledgeable and steady in the eyes of his letters and disciples, have a faint thought of fear in his heart.

He is a contemporary Heavenly Master, a Taoist leader who is worshiped by many believers.However, I know how much ability I have.Zhang Sicheng is certain that if he puts himself in those so-called "abnormal events", but relying on the scriptures, teachings, and chants that he is familiar with... I am afraid that there is nothing he can do about those demons and monsters. There is a high probability of an encounter. They will be torn into pieces by those monsters.

Chapter 431 The hidden worries of the Heavenly Master

However, it shouldn't be like this!

It should never be like this!

He is a heavenly master!There must be something wrong!
