I changed the world

"What did the Lord of the Land say? We are just chatting casually. How can we talk about sinners..." Zhang Sicheng wanted to continue listening. Naturally, he would not say anything to ruin the atmosphere. What's more, he just wanted to I can't blame it, but I don't have the ability to blame it. Could it be that someone demolished this earth temple?

It's a pity that the landowner seemed to have some concerns after all, and seemed to realize that he had said too much just now. In the following time, he stopped continuing the topic and talked more about the trivial things around him, the surrounding scenery and other topics.Zhang Sicheng tried to bring the topic back several times, but failed.

After another long while, the landowner seemed to remember something and said with a smile: "The Heavenly Master is here to visit the great master on the mountain, right?"

Seeing Zhang Sicheng stroking his beard and nodding in recognition, he immediately stood up and said: "In that case, I will no longer delay the Heavenly Master. It is better not to miss the Heavenly Master's affairs..."

Seeing this situation, Zhang Sicheng couldn't stay any longer and stood up to leave. After saying a few words, he turned around and walked out of the temple gate.

PS: Let me tell you some news. Black Moon has decided to stabilize the current update rhythm. If you have monthly recommendation votes, you might as well vote for it.

Chapter 537 The Heavenly Master Goes Up the Mountain Four

However, after only taking a few steps, Zhang Sicheng already felt that something was wrong. At this time, his whole body was extremely relaxed. In a trance, he seemed to have returned to his youth. The feeling of inadequacy that had often occurred in recent years was actually No trace at all.

Zhang Sicheng immediately thought of the cup of tea just now. It seemed that he had underestimated the effect of that cup of tea!Thinking in my mind, I had already reached the temple gate. At this time, several of the disciples guarding the temple gate were whispering. When they saw the Heavenly Master coming out, they hurriedly stopped talking and showed respect. The expression on his face was just curiosity, but it could not be concealed at any cost, and his eyes were focused on Tu Tu Gong next to the old Heavenly Master.

Although Zhang Sicheng felt that he had lost face, he could not scold his disciples at this time and just said goodbye to the earthly master.

The man bowed again and saw the wooden stick in his hand hitting the ground. His whole body turned into a wisp of blue smoke and disappeared into the ground without a trace.

"Master..." Seeing this, Fan Zeqing and Guan Zeping on the side quickly stepped forward and offered support, but they could not hide the curiosity in their eyes.

Seeing this, Zhang Sicheng just waved his hand to indicate that he didn't need help and walked forward.He knew that although the land had disappeared, most of them were still looking at his group. If the disciples asked about anything ignorant, it would be looked down upon, so he hurriedly left here.

On the other hand, Zhang Sicheng felt very good about himself at this time. The increasingly inflexible feeling in his legs and feet that had appeared since ten years ago had completely subsided, and he actually felt a bit light under his feet!Therefore, although the road under his feet was not very flat at this time, he did feel as if he was flying as fast as he walked.

The shocked disciples hurriedly followed. Fan Zeqing even took a few steps to follow the old Master, ready to help him at any time. He had been serving the old Master all year round, so he naturally knew the old Master's physical condition, although it was not serious. Diseases, but inflexible legs and feet, and even some chronic diseases of the elderly are still unavoidable. Therefore, at this time, I walked quickly beside the Heavenly Master. The more I followed, the more surprised and suspicious I became, and I secretly speculated in my heart.

On the other hand, Zhang Sicheng became more and more relaxed as he walked. He felt that his legs became more relaxed and stronger as he walked. As the whole body moved, his blood gradually became more alive, and a warmth gradually spread throughout his body. This was something he had not felt for a long time. Ever since his body was getting old, he no longer had the feeling of full energy and blood he had when he was young. It was because he had lost it that he knew how valuable it was. At this time, Zhang Sicheng was already convinced of his decision to come to visit in person. There was no hesitation anymore, and I was even vaguely happy!

Without having to carry Lao Tianshi, the entire team's marching speed suddenly accelerated. Guan Zeping trotted ahead to lead the way. The surrounding fog had not dissipated. However, what was interesting was that the fog in front of the team would always disappear in time, until a group As people passed by, it became more intense again, as if they were making way for the Heavenly Master and his party.

After walking like this for about a quarter of an hour, the road became increasingly steep and difficult to walk, and the real climbing stage began. At this time, Zhang Sicheng gradually became out of breath. Although his health improved, after all, he had not recovered to his true state. In his youth, fortunately, he still had the energy to walk on his own, but the speed of the entire team began to slow down.

However, Fan Zeqing was still a little worried about the old Heavenly Master's health. He started to keep asking the disciples around him to prepare to walk for a while, and then persuaded the old Heavenly Master to stop. After all, he did not rely on his muscles and bones for strength, so he let his disciples carry him up the mountain to maintain his physical strength.

However, his arrangement did not come in handy.The group of people walked up dozens of meters and came to a flat open land, which was a platform on the mountain road. They saw a short figure walking slowly in the mist ahead.

Guan Zeping's eyes widened as soon as he saw this figure. He quickly took two steps and greeted loudly with a smile on his face: "Is this the young Master Fa Sheng in front of you?"

The boy seemed to be walking slowly but was actually very fast. At this time, he had reached the front of the team. At this time, everyone could see his appearance clearly.This is a boy with two horn buns. He looks to be about seven or eight years old. He is wearing a shabby Taoist priest's robe. His face is clear, and he doesn't have the aura of escape from ordinary children.

"Senior Brother Guan, you are polite." When the boy saw Guan Zeping greeting him, he stopped and bowed his hands.

Guan Zeping didn't even dare to call him junior brother as he did that day. He returned the courtesy solemnly and then introduced Zhang Sicheng: "Master, this is the one I mentioned. That little master who was born in the law."

After that, he introduced the boy: "This is the current master of the Master's Mansion, a real person who protects the country, inherits the saints, upholds the Tao and Hongde with sincerity." After saying that, he was afraid that the boy was too young to understand the meaning of this title, so he added He added in a low voice: "He is the contemporary Zhang Tianshi."

"Young man, I have seen the Heavenly Master." The boy then raised his hands and bowed: "My master heard that the Heavenly Master was here, and specially asked his disciples to come and lead the way."

Zhang Sicheng was also looking at the boy in front of him at this time. He was quite curious in his heart, but he couldn't show it on his face. After returning the courtesy with a smile, he said kindly: "Then I will help you, little master."

Zhang Sicheng originally thought that the boy's "leading the way" meant leading the way in a literal sense, but he never thought that after the boy stopped and nodded, he waved his sleeves, and the fog around him suddenly became thicker. Zhang Sicheng and the others were completely wrapped up inside.

Zhang Sicheng was curious in his heart, but his face did not waver at all. He had seen a lot of strange things today and he was already immune.He was a little worried that his disciples would show cowardice, but fortunately, before coming out this time, all the disciples accompanying him had been carefully selected and given instructions, so none of them showed any signs of shame at this time.

In just a few breaths, the mist dispersed again, and soon disappeared. At this time, everyone discovered that their location was no longer on the mountain road, but on a wider place. on the platform.

Not far from the group of people, there was an extremely thick ancient pine tree. From a visual inspection, it was about as thick as a few people hugging each other. It stood out like a flock of chickens and was extremely conspicuous among the trees.

"Master, this is the top of the mountain. We have arrived..." Guan Zeping recognized the familiar scenery around him at a glance. He suppressed his surprise and whispered in Zhang Sicheng's ear.

Zhang Sicheng nodded and did not respond. At this time, his eyes were already attracted by an old man in feathers not far away!

Chapter 538 Gu Shunzhi

The old man looked like he had shabby robes, a shaggy gray beard, and an uneven bun on his head. At first glance, there was nothing surprising about him, but if you look closely, you will find that his eyes are black and white, unlike many others. You can see some bloodshot eyes or dark yellow in the eyes of an elderly person. Those eyes looked extremely clear and pure. Zhang Sicheng couldn't help but think of a word in his mind - "crazy hair and childlike appearance".

"But Mr. Gu in person?" Zhang Sicheng said with a smile on his face, hugging each other and cupping his hands in front of his chest.

Gu Shunzhi looked at Zhang Sicheng who was looking at him with a smile on his face. He naturally recognized this contemporary heavenly master.Even though he had drafted it countless times in his mind, Gu Shunzhi still felt a little complicated when he actually faced this contemporary heavenly master again.

Before his rebirth, his real name was Luo Yangchuan. He had been a monk in the Tianshi Mansion for more than a year and had personally met three generations of heavenly masters. However, perhaps because of his indifferent temperament or because of bad luck, he was nothing more than an old man. An ordinary deacon, he is responsible for writing some notes and letters on weekdays as a secretary.

If there are any thoughts before death, the biggest thought is probably regret.

When he was young, he read several biographies of Taoist immortals, and despite his parents' dissuasion from becoming a monk, he ran away from home, hoping to become an immortal.After becoming a monk, I also had the idea of ​​​​going down the mountain, but my words were too outrageous at that time, and I was afraid that I would be laughed at by my relatives when I returned, and I would not be able to lose face.It wasn't until his parents passed away that he really gave up the idea of ​​returning home, so he practiced meditation in the Tianshi Mansion day after day.

Before he knew it, his years were gone and he was getting old. What he liked to see most were the young families who came to worship with their children, and he may not be without envy.

In the dead of night, he also thought about what he had learned in his life.What achievements?Can he really be ranked among the immortals after his death?However, the older he gets, the more frightened he becomes. After all, he cannot fool himself. His decaying body is undoubtedly not telling him that even if he is familiar with the classics and tries to practice various methods, what if he gains anything?But I really can’t deceive myself...

The path to immortality is, after all, a flower in the mirror and a moon in the water. He still remembers his master, a Taoist master who read the classics thoroughly. He was paralyzed in bed in his later years, unable to speak or move, and had to urinate and urinate in the clothes of his disciples. He was miserable beyond words.How could there ever be any trace of immortality?

He had also thought about whether he had any resentment towards Xuanmen. If he said he didn't, it would be a lie. After all, if he hadn't read those books, would his life have been different?However, if there is deep hatred, it doesn't matter. After all, I have lived here all my life, and I still have feelings.

However, the most cunning thing about fate is that when he comes, he is reborn again. In this life, he really has an adventure!

To be honest, he didn't resist the young master's plan at all. This was not just because he naturally and subconsciously had the idea of ​​obeying him, it seemed like a matter of course.Even without this, he felt a thrill in his bones that he was eager to try out the plan that sounded audacious and even earth-shattering at first glance.

Maybe it was the too plain life in his previous life that made him feel vaguely rebellious?In this life, he really wants to see how far he can go by following that young master?

Perhaps it was not until this moment that he saw clearly that even if it took him a lifetime, he still had a dream of "a morning trip to the North Sea and a sunset in Cangwu"...

"Gu Shunzhi, I have met the contemporary Celestial Master here." Gu Shunzhi was just in a daze for a moment, then put all his emotions behind him and began to assume his current identity.

Seeing that this "senior expert" in front of him could obviously communicate, Zhang Sicheng, who had been a little worried, immediately relaxed half of his worries.The smile on his face became more and more like a spring breeze. He walked a few steps quickly and came to Gu Shunzhi. He bowed down and said, "Sir, you rescued my disciple the day before yesterday. Si Cheng hasn't thanked you yet. Please accept me." A gift!”

When Guan Zeping saw this, he knelt down with a pop and kowtowed: "I would like to thank Mr. Gu for saving my life."

"Junior, I'm just a little too reckless, so why use such a big gift..." Gu Shunzhi just gave him a gentle hand, and Zhang Sicheng felt that he couldn't bow anymore, so he stood up immediately.As for Guan Zeping's kowtow, Gu Shunzhi did not stop him and accepted his great gift.

Guan Zeping kowtowed three times, stood up again, and respectfully retreated behind Zhang Sicheng.

The old man didn't show any air of seniority and looked quite approachable. He stretched out his hand and led Zhang Sicheng forward.This did not make Zhang Sicheng's previously prepared words suddenly come to nothing, but it also made him more certain of his guesses, that is, this senior must have some kind of connection with the Tianshi Mansion.

While thinking, Zhang Sicheng waved his hand vaguely back. Fan Zeqing, who was following him, saw this and deliberately slowed down his pace. At the same time, he winked at the other disciples. Gradually, the team separated. Zhang Sicheng and Gu Shun Zhi took the lead and walked in front, while the disciples slowed down their pace and distanced themselves, following behind from a distance.Occasionally, I would chat with the boy Fa Sheng beside me.

Gu Shunzhi seemed not to notice the movements of the Tianshi Mansion disciples behind him, and led Zhang Sicheng leisurely forward, occasionally commenting on the surrounding scenery.Now that he had met the real owner, Zhang Sicheng was not in a hurry to express his intention, and followed him cooperatively as a visitor.

Not long after walking forward, Zhang Sicheng saw a mountain wall with rugged rocks and quite steep edges.There is a natural semi-open cave under the mountain wall. This cave extends nearly a hundred meters into the mountain wall and is tens of meters wide, forming a natural activity space similar to a threshing floor.

Zhang Sicheng had already introduced this place to Zeping, and he knew that this was probably the place where this senior cultivated himself.

However, Gu Shunzhi did not lead him towards the cave, but stopped in front of a stone platform outside the cave.

This stone platform looks like it was originally a piece of natural rock. It has probably been simply repaired and turned into a square natural stone table. There are two plainly carved stone benches placed on both sides of the stone table.

When he got closer, Zhang Sicheng discovered that there was a Go board carved in a crisscross pattern on the stone table. There were two yellowed bamboo chess baskets placed at the two corners of the stone table, with black and white chess pieces piled inside.

"Come, Heavenly Master, would you like to play a game of chess with me?"

"A solid wish."

Zhang Sicheng is naturally no stranger to Go, and even considers himself to be quite good at it.In fact, this is also a popular entertainment among the upper class of Dazhao.As the saying goes, "A green mountain never tires of three glasses of wine, and a long day only consumes a game of chess." In the eyes of many people who claim to be celebrities, this is an "elegance thing."

Chapter 539: Grandnephew Zhang Sicheng, pays homage to his uncle!

The two of them sat across from each other on the stone bench. As for the disciples behind them, under the leadership of the boy Fa Sheng, they went further away. There were also some stone tables and benches placed there, and then some food was arranged. …

"The Heavenly Master is a guest from afar, so I should hold the sunspot in my hand."

"Then it's better to be respectful than to obey." Zhang Sicheng was not too polite, so he took the sunspot first. After a moment of silence, Zhang Sicheng gently placed a sunspot on the diagonal star in the upper left corner. This was an aggressive step. A weak starting move is just to adjust the rhythm of the game.

For Zhang Sicheng, the main purpose of coming here is not to win chess. Whether he wins or loses is not important.

Gu Shunzhi thought for a while, then picked up a white chess piece. After about ten seconds, he also lost the piece, occupying the lower left eye.

The two started playing chess back and forth. Neither of them were impatient, and their moves were not quick.About ten minutes later, Gu Shunzhi said, "When did the previous Heavenly Master pass away?"

When Zhang Sicheng heard this, his expression changed slightly, he put down the chess piece that was about to fall, and after a brief memory, he said respectfully: "Mr. Haoming learned that my late father died suddenly of a heart attack when he was 59 years old. In a flash, he has already 44 years."

"Heart disease..." Gu Shunzhi was silent for a long time after hearing the words, shook his head, and sighed: "Jishun was too eager after all. I told him back then that he should polish his mind and wait for the right time... Sigh... "

"Sir..." When Zhang Sicheng heard this, his heart suddenly became excited. He took a deep breath and was careful to test his words: "Do you know my father?"

"Speaking of which, your father used to call me uncle."

When Zhang Sicheng heard this, his first reaction was to feel a little uncomfortable. After all, he had lived on earth for a long time, and it had been 40 years since he had inherited the position of Heavenly Master. From being cautious at first, he could now be called "highly virtuous and respected". As he got older, Gao, no matter where he goes, he sees people who are respectful and respectful as disciples. Now that an elder suddenly appears, his first reaction is naturally a little uncomfortable.

However, this discomfort just passed by without a trace, and Zhang Sicheng immediately felt an uncontrollable joy in his heart.

In fact, since he learned not long ago that there is an extraterrestrial master on this Zhenbi Peak, his first reaction was actually quite uneasy. For most people in this world, the "contemporary Celestial Master", "Southern Master" His status as "the first family" is undoubtedly enough for anyone to maintain a sufficiently respectful attitude when meeting him.This is not only based on Taoist beliefs, but more importantly, it is also out of awe of the resources that Tianshi Mansion can mobilize after thousands of years of being a behemoth.

However, for the kind of outsider who can call the wind and rain, and drive the thunder of heaven and earth, it is difficult to say how much such ordinary wealth and wealth are worthy of being looked at by the other party...

Therefore, after receiving the news brought back by Guan Zeping and discovering that this master might have a close connection with the Tianshi Mansion, Zhang Sicheng even felt a sense of "ancestral blessing" and decided to You must come to visit in person.

At this point in time, no matter what, the Tianshi Mansion must have its own "inheritance", otherwise, the so-called Taoist giant, the first in the south, will undoubtedly be called the moon in the mirror and the moon in the water!

It was also because Zhang Sicheng had already figured this out that he was extremely happy at this moment.Before he came, he had already made countless speculations in his mind. When he thought about it, even if this master acted arrogant and arrogant, he would still make friends with him even if he lowered his body.And the situation like this is undoubtedly the best situation he expected!

Moreover, Mr. Gu's seniority is consistent with his previous discoveries and guesses, that is, this Mr. Gu should be a good friend of his grandfather.

Therefore, no matter what, he is willing to believe what this Mr. Gu says, and he can only believe what this Mr. Gu says!

Zhang Sicheng was slightly stunned when he heard this, and he already made a judgment in his heart, and immediately expressed surprise: "I didn't know that Mr. Gu is actually the elder in the family!"

Then he stood up, straightened his clothes with a serious look on his face, and bowed to the ground respectfully: "My great-nephew Zhang Sicheng, meet your uncle!"

Gu Shunzhi refused to help him and accepted this gift from him. It was not until Zhang Sicheng finished the ceremony that he stood up and asked him to sit down again.

"Chixuzi is my dharma title. On weekdays, Heavenly Master, just call me Chixuzhenren. Now that I have ascended the throne, there is no need to call myself a junior again. We, who have been watching for a long time, do not take a fancy to this."

Although Gu Shunzhi said so, Zhang Sicheng insisted that etiquette should not be abolished. In the end, it was decided that Zhang Sicheng would call Gu Shunzhi "uncle" and Gu Shunzhi would call Zhang Sicheng "heavenly master".

With this incident, the relationship between the two of them was different, especially Zhang Sicheng, who felt a little more close to the old man in front of him.

"Things are different..."

Gu Shunzhi's face showed a gloomy look, and there was sadness in his words: "If I hadn't been in seclusion for a long time and had no time to care about him, Jishun wouldn't have..."

"Uncle, please don't blame yourself. How can you blame your uncle for this matter..." Zhang Sicheng hurriedly tried to dissuade him from the side.

But he saw Gu Shunzhi suddenly covering his mouth and nose and coughing lowly and hoarsely for more than ten times before stopping.However, he took out a red gourd from somewhere in his right hand, took a sip to his mouth, then let out a long breath, and the gourd in his hand disappeared again.Zhang Sicheng clearly saw a flash of green energy on Gu Shunzhi's face.

"Uncle?"

Gu Shunzhi stretched out his hand and waved it, his expression gradually returned to normal, and then he laughed at himself: "It's just some old injuries that happen occasionally and don't do much..."

Although he said it in an understatement, Zhang Sicheng did not dare to believe it. He guessed in his heart that this elder must have experienced some kind of serious trauma that was delayed.Thinking of this, he thought about the retreat for healing mentioned by Gu Shunzhi just now, and he didn't know if it was healing.

Gu Shunzhi signaled Zhang Sicheng to continue playing chess, but Zhang Sicheng didn't know what to say, so the two sides played a few more moves, and then Gu Shunzhi continued: "I have been guarding here and haven't gone down the mountain for a long time. I don't know what happened down the mountain recently. , since the Heavenly Master is here to visit today, you might as well talk to me."

Gu Shunzhi's words were exactly what Zhang Sicheng meant. He was still thinking about how to pave the way for the topic. When he asked this question, it was as if he felt sleepy coming to his pillow, so he went on to say: "Since my uncle has inquired about it, Sicheng will tell you about it now." The situation was told to my uncle..."

As he said that, he started talking about the death of his father. Naturally, it was inconvenient to talk about the brothers' fight for the throne. He only mentioned how he took over the affairs of the Tianshi Mansion after inheriting the position of Tianshi, and how he got along with the various Taoist sects. , the changes in society in recent years, some ideas and measures spread by Taoism...

PS: Regarding the name of Chi Xuzi, there are two slight adjustments in the previous article, which do not affect the overall reading. Here are the explanations.

5 Chapter [-]: Groundless rumors may not be without reason!

In addition to Taoism, regarding the development of science and technology, the current world situation, and even the political situation, including some of the policies of Emperor Chenghe after he ascended the throne, human beings' development of space...

In addition, it also includes the most core, extraordinary events that have occurred recently, and the national level has already responded. In addition, some of the information he came into contact with, and even some hearsay about Yunxiao Mountain.

Things related to Yunxiao Mountain had always been on Zhang Sicheng's mind, so Qi Qi said a few more words, obviously wanting to hear the opinion of the uncle in front of him.

Zhang Sicheng was not disappointed. After hearing the information about Yunxiao Mountain, Gu Shunzhi thought for a while and said: "Well... Behind Yunxiao Mountain is Kunlun. The inheritance is extraordinary, but you don't have to worry. Even Kunlun should abide by the great precepts of the Jedi Heavenly Tong and not have too many entanglements with the ordinary court, let alone politics."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Sicheng immediately understood the meaning of Gu Shun's words, and he obviously admired the "Kunlun". He paused in his heart and immediately associated many myths and legends from this term.

Thoughts were swirling in his mind, so he asked tentatively: "Uncle, remember that the "Hai Nei Jing" said: South of the Western Sea, on the shore of quicksand, after the red water and before the black water, there is a big mountain called Kunlun Hill. There is also " "Yu Shuzi" seems to have records that Kunlun is the place where the Emperor of Heaven lives... I don't know..."

As a contemporary heavenly master, Zhang Sicheng is also well-read, especially many Taoist classics, which are also treasures. The name of Kunlun is actually recorded in many ancient books of Dazhao, but before that, he did not know it. I have never paid attention to it, but just treated it as a myth.

"The place where the Emperor of Heaven resides is an exaggeration. Since ancient times, immortals and mortals have been different. Many ancient books have glimpsed the leopards and passed down falsehoods, so you don't have to believe them all. Our Xuanmen is not like the ordinary court, and it is impossible to establish any emperor... However, Kunlun is the largest sect in the world, one of the three sects. First, it has a long history, so it is of great importance." Gu Shunzhi said, and played another piece.

Zhang Sicheng nodded in agreement and added a piece casually, but his mind was no longer on the chessboard. At this time, what filled his heart was awe.

He knew clearly that the term Kunlun was not some inexplicable coinage. Therefore, he did not doubt the authenticity of Gu Shunzhi's words from the beginning, because if this was the case, those ancient words Myths and legends have reasonable explanations.

After all, in ancient times, whether it was recording text or writing books, it was an extremely serious matter. It is not as easy and cheap as it is in the Internet age.At that time, things worth recording in books and spreading to future generations must have been extremely important in the eyes of the ancients.Since there was no way to prove it, later generations gradually regarded it as the nonsense of the ancients.

However, if Kunlun really exists, then those myths and legends that have been circulated since ancient times have reasonable explanations!The ancients may not have known much, they may have only seen a glimpse of it, they may have had an adventure and met an expert, they may have heard it from hearsay, but they were definitely not imaginary!

However, if this is the case, then by just a few words in those legends, we can roughly get a glimpse of the mystery and antiquity of Kunlun, which can even be traced back to the ancient times before the Zhuxia civilization was formed...

Thinking of this, even Zhang Sicheng's city couldn't help but look solemn...
