He found some banknotes and a bunch of keys on Kong Xianzi, all of which were rewards for his hard work as Master Ansheng.

"This key should be the key to the Taoist temple on the mountain, right?"

Tang Ansheng looked toward the mountain top in the distance.

Although it seemed that there had just been a war there, he had nowhere else to go now, so he might as well go and take a look.

It took some time to walk from the bottom of the mountain to the top, and an old Taoist temple appeared in front of him.

“Although it’s a bit old, it’s still in great shape.”

Tang Ansheng looked up at the sky and found that there were dozens of air columns of different colors in the air, stretching for who knows how many miles. Coupled with the deafening thunder he had heard before, he had some guesses in his mind.

"It seems that they fought in mid-air, otherwise the Taoist temple here would definitely be razed to the ground."

Tang Ansheng went towards the Taoist temple, and when he arrived, he found that there was no one inside.

"The deceased was called Kong Xianzi, right? This Taoist temple is so old, it seems that he is the only one living there."

Tang Ansheng looked around and found a locked drawer under the unknown statue enshrined in the main hall.

He opened it with the key obtained from Kong Xianzi, and found a Taoist qualification certificate, a title deed to the Kong Xian Taoist temple, and some banknotes inside.

"A Taoist Qualification Certificate. I didn't expect that Taoists from another world would also need to be certified."

"But this character is exactly the same as the Blue Star simplified Chinese character."

Generally speaking, the world is different, and cultural development will be different, and the languages ​​spoken and written will also be different.

Even on Blue Planet, which has a culture similar to that of Earth, there are still subtle differences in pronunciation and handwriting, although they are similar.

And this unknown alien world is actually no different from the Blue Planet.

This made Tang Ansheng feel very strange.

"Speaking of Blue Star, I wonder what happened to my two good students, Long Zhan and Zhao Cheng."

"After such a long time, I don't know if they have achieved the state of Hua Jin."

Those were all things of the past. Tang Ansheng sighed slightly and stopped thinking about them.

"Kong Xianzi, you asked me to look for the Wuding Liuli Seal, the Taiyu Emperor Demon Sword, and the Demon Hunting Mysterious Wind Pestle. At the moment, there is absolutely no hope."

"Although you are dead, this Taoist temple is still standing. It just so happens that I also need an identity."

"Although your Taoist temple is small and shabby, I don't mind it. I'll just make do with it."

"Of course, I am not a shameless person. If you don't want to, just tell me and I will return the temple to you."

Tang Ansheng sat cross-legged and waited silently for three seconds. Seeing that no one objected, he had no choice but to put away the deeds and banknotes.

"Since you don't refute it, that means you agree."

"From today on, my Taoist name is Ansheng, and my identity is... the distant uncle of Kong Xianzi who has been in seclusion in the mountains for many years."

…………

"Hoo, Master, slow down, this place... is too tiring, hoo."

Two figures were climbing the mountain, one in front and one behind.

"The chairman wants you to go back and inherit the company, so just go. Even though you don't like that job, at least you can make money there."

The chubby figure walking behind him panted and said, "Huh, why did you have to argue with him? Now that's good, our bank card has been suspended and we're left with nothing."

"Hmph, if I don't like it, I just don't like it. No matter what you say, I still don't like it." The thin figure walking in front said loudly.

The two continued to climb the mountain and finally reached the top panting.

"That's the Kongxian Taoist Temple?"

"Huh? Why did it change to Ansheng Taoist Temple? When did this happen?"

The two of them, especially the thin young figure, looked at the four big characters above the Taoist temple in a daze.

Chapter 19 Great Freedom

"This is how the same thing?"

The thin young man is named Wang Pingyuan, and the chubby guy next to him is his follower Hu Shan.

The two seem to be in a master-servant relationship, but in fact they are brothers who have grown up together as children.

"Master, let me ask you, what are you doing in such a remote place?"

After climbing to the top of the mountain, Hu Shan quickly found a flat ground and sat down without caring whether it was clean or not. He panted and said, "This is the first time I've heard of a Taoist temple here."

"And looking at the dilapidated state of this Taoist temple, it's definitely not populated by people."

Wang Pingyuan shook his head: "There is a hidden master here, I am here to find him."

"A hidden master? Who?" Hu Shan asked.

"Master Kong Xianzi." Wang Pingyuan said, "Let's go over and take a look. I tell you, you can't be rude when you see Master Kong Xianzi later."

Hu Shan originally wanted to rest for a while, but he could not resist Wang Pingyuan's eagerness, so he had to get up from the ground and staggered after him.

"Young Master, you left the Chairman's New Energy Group behind and instead came here to look for Taoist Master Kong Xianzi. Did you get kicked in the head by a donkey?"

Hu Shan's words made Wang Pingyuan punch him in the chest. "You know, I'm not interested in the company at all."

"Besides, my brothers and sisters are still here. Whether it's my eldest brother, my second brother, or my second sister, their academic performance, business philosophy, etc. are all better than mine. I have no hope of inheriting the family business at all."

"At most I can get a share of the shares, and I can live a life of luxury."

Hu Shan muttered, "This is not good. Many people are busy all their lives. It would be good enough to live a peaceful life, let alone fine clothes and delicious food."

Wang Pingyuan shook his head and said, "I want to be free, I want to completely liberate my body, I want to do whatever I want without breaking the rules."

"These are all things my dad's company can't give me."

"So it's the potential release." Hu Shan sighed, "Master, if you can't reach 10% of the release level in the opening exam, you will be expelled."

The Nova Federal Government began researching human genetic liberation decades ago. Although for various reasons, the federal government blocked the information on genetic liberation, causing most ordinary people to be unaware of it.

However, wealthy people like Wang Pingyuan's father still got some information.

The federal government now seems intent on relaxing the blockade and has built seven new colleges dedicated to the study of human genetic liberation.

Of the seven academies, two were established in Xuan Country, one of which was called Baidi, and the conditions for recruiting students were very strict.

The other one is called Xinghai University, and as long as you have money or talent, you can enter.

Wang Pingyuan and Hu Shan are students of Xinghai University.

Of course, although the federal government intends to relax the news blockade, these two universities are not something that ordinary people can know about.

"It's so difficult to unlock potential. I'm still two points away from 10%. Hu Shan, you should be able to reach 10% before school starts," Wang Pingyuan asked.

Hu Shan nodded and said, "Master, I have reached 9% now. I should be able to reach 10% before school starts."

"However, there is no difference between 8% and 10%. I feel that the so-called gene liberation is just something the federal government made up to cheat the rich out of their money."

Hu Shan curled his lips. "They have been causing so many troubles over the years. The longevity plan a few years ago said that the medicine they developed could allow people to live an extra 50 years."

"As long as you invest money, the drug will be given to the investor first after it is developed. However, after several years, the project team was disbanded and the money was wasted."

"There are also plans for ascension and metamorphosis, which have also come to nothing. I think those federal congressmen are short of money."

Wang Pingyuan shook his head and said, "Potential liberation is different from those."

"What's the difference?" Hu Shan said, "In our academy, the best one right now, according to Xinghai University's standards, has only liberated 15%. I think his performance is not as good as some fighters."

"I even wonder if this so-called degree of liberation is something they made up."

"This..." Wang Pingyuan was a little stuck and didn't know what to say.

At present, the Xinghai University built by the federal government in Xuan Country has the highest degree of liberation of only 15%. The performance is not as good as some world-class fighters. At best, he can jump higher and run faster.

If he had not met Taoist Master Kong Xianzi when he was a child and knew that some people in this world are simply extraordinary, he might have regarded this project as a means for federal congressmen to make money.

"I can't explain it to you clearly now. Let's go to the front and meet Taoist Master Kong Xianzi first."

Wang Pingyuan left the subject aside and walked forward, and soon arrived at the gate of the Taoist temple.

He walked forward and pressed the iron ring in front of the door, and immediately a "dong dong dong" sound was heard.

"Master Kong Xianzi, I have something to ask you."

"Squeak~"

The gate of the Taoist temple opened, and the person who came out was not the white-haired old man that Wang Pingyuan had imagined, but a young man who was not much older than him.

"What's the matter?" Tang Ansheng looked at the two people in front of him and asked.

He stayed here for three days and cleaned up the house and some relics left by Kong Xianzi.

I originally thought that not many people came to this place, but in just three days, someone came to the door, and it seemed that he knew Kong Xianzi.

"Master Taoist, I am Wang Pingyuan, and this is my brother Hu Shan." Wang Pingyuan introduced himself.

Although he didn't know the young man in front of him, seeing that he was wearing a Taoist robe and lived here, he thought that he had a close relationship with Taoist Master Kong Xianzi, so there was no problem in calling him Taoist Master.

"Excuse me, is Taoist Kong Xianzi here?" Wang Pingyuan asked.

"Oh, you mean him."

Tang Ansheng pushed the door open and said, "Master Kong Xianzi left three days ago."

"Nephew?" Wang Pingyuan was stunned.

The last time he saw Kong Xianzi was several years ago. At that time, he was already an old man with white hair and beard, let alone now.

No matter how you look at it, the young Taoist priest in front of him is his nephew.

No, judging from their ages, there is at least two generations difference between them.

After Tang Ansheng pushed open the door, he walked inside. Wang Pingyuan and the other two could only follow him silently.

"Virtue leads to profound tranquility, truth always maintains the great purity."

"When the yang returns to its original state, the union will bring eternal enlightenment."

"..."

"The void and the universe are beautiful, and the gold and wood surnames meet."

"..."

"The immortal title will last forever, and all three realms are relatives."

Tang Ansheng opened his mouth and uttered something that was neither poetry nor lyrics. Although Wang Pingyuan and the others could not understand what he was saying, the fact that they could not understand it showed how amazing he was.

"Um, Taoist priest, I am stupid, may I ask what this means?"

"This is the order of generations in my Taoism. You see, Kong Xianzi is of the Kong generation, and I am of the Xu generation. Naturally, I am Kong Xianzi's uncle." Tang Ansheng said seriously.

During these three days, thanks to some books left behind in Kongxianzi Zhongdao Temple, he gained a general understanding of this world.

This world is called Nova, and its technological development is slightly higher than that of Blue Star, but not much.

There are some differences in culture. Although Taoism exists here, Xinxing does not have Quanzhen Taoism, Zhengyi Taoism, etc., and it does not have the historical culture of the Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties.

But only the name is different, the entire historical process is still very similar.

"The void and the universe are beautiful, and the gold and wood surnames meet." Wang Pingyuan recited silently. It was the first time he knew such a secret.

"What's the Taoist priest's name?"

"Ansheng." Tang Ansheng replied.

Hu Shan at the side could not help but ask: "Master, aren't you from the Xu generation?"

"Hey, who said that people with the character 'Xu' must start their names with 'Xu'? You guys are obsessed with it." Tang Ansheng said.

"Isn't 'attachment to appearances' a Buddhist term? It turns out Taoism also uses this term." Hu Shan murmured.

Tang Ansheng shook his head. "Look, you are obsessed with appearances again. Who said that Buddhism and Taoism cannot be used? Buddha is originally Taoism."

"You must know that what we seek in Taoism is great freedom and ease. We should use what we need and use whatever we have."

Is Buddha the Tao?

Buddha is the Tao!

Wang Pingyuan felt that these words contained great profound meaning, and the more he read them, the more he felt their true meaning.
