Becoming a Saint by Leisure Reading - Chapter 45
“A virtuous teacher?” Literary Minister Yan Baichuan looked at the jade slip he just received, and smiled lightly, “Qingwei’s that bullnose pattern was still too narrow-minded, why don’t he give him the title of a great virtuous teacher!”
Wei Yan, who was sitting across from the chessboard, accompanied him with a smile: “Taoist Sect has records, so far, there have only been four great teachers, all of whom have great contributions to the Taoist Sect. How could that stinky boy be worthy of it!”
Yan Baichuan ruffled the chessboard and said, “The person who went to pick up that kid must have been captured by the Taoist Sect. It’s better for you to go there personally.”
Wei Yan asked, “What is our charter?”
Yan Baichuan smiled lightly: “If we join forces, there will be benefits. If we divide then there will only be disadvantages for both parties. The Taoist Sect wants face, and the imperial court wants the substance. I’ll go to Xuantan Palace in person later and negotiate with Lao Qingwei!”
Wei Yan nodded, got up, and left.
Seeing the back of Wei Yan leaving, Yan Baichuan’s eyes fell on the messed up chessboard again, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
”It’s very risky. Without using Confucianism foresight, the old man almost lost to him…”
As everyone knows, Wei Yan, who left quickly, was also relieved.
”That was too close. I almost accidentally won against Wen Xiang…”
…
Fuyun Square, the floor of the Shengqian Pavilion.
Under the guidance of the maid, Chen Luo walked towards his new residence. Regarding the title of the virtuous teacher, Chen Luo did not give a definite answer, but he really needed to think about it carefully. After all, for Taoists, they thought there was only one Zhong Kui, but Chen Luo knew that in his dream book forest, there were many legends of Taoist figures that were not found in this world…
For example, the Covert Eight Immortals, the Ten Kings of Hell, for example, Heavenly Court, the Investiture of Gods…
A virtuous teacher title in exchange for so many things?
They gotta pay more!
Just when Chen Luo was thinking about it, he followed the maid into a new small building, which was quieter than the one he lived in before.
”Good timing, the last meridian was just completely opened today.” Chen Luo arranged in his heart. He sensed that the red dust qi had mutated before, as he was able to open up his meridians much faster. At present, there is still the last part of the last Yin Linking Vessel.
Strange to say, this last part of the meridians seems to have an obvious septum, which makes Chen Luo consume a lot of time. Chen Luo faintly felt that as long as he broke through this barrier and completely opened up the Twelve Serious Meridians and the Eight Extraordinary Meridians, something would happen.
”There is no need to bring food.” Chen Luo ordered the maid and was about to start practicing, but suddenly found that the maid was a little weird and didn’t mean to leave.
”This… sister?” Chen Luo said tentatively, “What else is there?”
The maid looked at Chen Luo: “The maid does have something to trouble the Lord…”
When Chen Luo heard this voice, his heart became more alert, and he was about to shout when he saw the maid sighing at him. In an instant, a cold air wrapped Chen Luo, and a layer of frost formed all over Chen Luo’s body. Chen Luo was sealed in a block of ice.
The maid’s face was blurred and shifted into her real face, it was the Taiyin Cold Toad – Ningbing.
Ningbing quickly walked to Chen Luo, who was frozen into ice cubes, pressed one hand on the ice cube, raised the other hand, and a Taoist talisman appeared in her hand. Ning Bing transported the demon power into the Dao Talisman, and the Dao Talisman was broken, and a space force was born from it, which wrapped Chen Luo and Ning Bing as they both disappeared in place.
Taoist Sect Talisman – A Thousand Miles with the Wind Talisman!
At the moment when the talisman was activated, Grandma Jin, who was sitting beside Jin Guagua’s bed, seemed to be alerted. She glanced in the direction of Chen Luo’s residence. The bamboo stick in her hand was gently raised. As long as she had a thought, she could start the formation of the Shengqian Pavilion, which can stop this space fluctuation, but her eyes swept over Jin Guagua, and finally sighed and knocked down the bamboo stick. She did it not to block Ningbing who was escaping, but to disturb Tianling Daojun who was ready to pursue.
”Jin Sanshun!” Daojun Tianling’s roar came, and a ray of light shot up into the sky,
It is Tianling Daojun. But before Tianling Daojun asked Grandma Jin to punish her crimes, a burst of mighty laughter came from afar—
”Have friends come from afar, who would not be happy!”
”Daoist Tianling rushes towards the sky for a simple greeting, this certain Wei is ashamed…”
Wei Yan, he’s here!
…
Although Chen Luo was frozen in ice, his mind was still clear. He only felt that the surrounding space was reversed, and after an unknown amount of time, the sense of weightlessness disappeared, and he and Ning Bing appeared in a secluded mountain forest.
Ning Bing put Chen Luo down without saying a word and directly produced the Soul Shaking Tower. A few magic seals were printed out. The Soul Shaking Tower flew to the top of Chen Luo’s head again as before, exuding a suction, just as before. The difference is that it seems that no one will come to rescue him again.
…
Wei Yan’s face was cold, and the whole body’s Noble righteousness qi was like a substance, covering the entire Land-born Money Pavilion, Tianling Daojun kept making divinations, and Grandma Jin sat on the chair, closing her eyes and resting, as if everything had nothing to do with herself.
”Master, Ning Bing has a sensible temperament, she will not hurt the life of a virtuous teacher.” Master Yuanxia wanted to make an excuse for Jin Sanshun and said softly.
”She dares!” Wei Yan snorted coldly, “If anything happens to little guy Chen, that hundred years of Taoist cultivation of hers can go to zero!”
Yuanxia Zhenren frowned slightly, bowed to Wei Yan, and said, “Wei Great Confucian, your Confucian Sect is the most compassionate. Sanshun and Ningbing committed such a mistake only for Guagua. If you take a few steps back, Guagua has a life-saving grace for Chen Luo, and Ning Bing is just taking back what Gugua left. Although it is not right to shake the soul, it is better than having a broken soul. Otherwise, what should you do? This rescue produced an enemy instead.
Wei Yan squinted at Master Yuanxia: “Twisting words and forcing logic, making the wrong things look right. It is Jin Guagua who saved Chen Luo, and it is Jin Guagua who fused the soul. If Jinguagua stands in front of Chen Luo and says a word, the soul will be released. Don’t say shock. The soul is the split soul, and that is the matter of the two of them. If Chen Luo is willing, he will give his life back, and no one can say anything.”
”The old man is angry that you and others use being relatives as a pretense to force a person against his will because of some grace, and now you are even openly kidnapping people. You try to make it sound so touching, is that little guy Chen really an ungrateful villain? … …Who turned the righteous act of saving people into a matter of revenge?”
Master Yuanxia moved her lips and wanted to speak, but Granny Jin suddenly said, “Wei Great Confucian Scholar is correct Lord of Wan An never said anything to shirk his responsibilities. This is the matter of this junior, and it is us that exceeded our position. Now, it’s useless to talk too much. Let’s find the whereabouts of Ning Bing and Lord of Wan An as soon as possible.”
At this time, Taoist Tianling, who had been calculating, stopped moving and looked at Wei Yan: “I found it!”
…
Chen Luo seemed to have entered a void space, with no top and no bottom. Just when Chen Luo was trying to find the exit, suddenly there was a loud noise in the void, and the sound wave almost materialized. Chen Luo’s eyes suddenly flashed, and he felt that countless thoughts appeared in his mind, and countless thoughts dissipated, his whole person was almost in a daze. It was as if he was like a machine, Chen Luo felt that something in his body loosened.
That is the soul!
Another loud noise exploded above Chen Luo’s head. The loose soul swayed again, as if it fell into a groove that just fit, and it matched perfectly.
At the moment of this perfect match, a brief clarity appeared in Chen Luo’s mind. He instantly understood that when his soul came through, there was still a slight gap between the soul and the body. This separation is exactly the sense of alienation sensed in the last part of the channel. Now under the shock of the soul, it seems that the soul has been fine-tuned, and finally a perfect match has been achieved.
In fact, Chen Luo didn’t know that only in the mother’s womb, when the soul was born for the first time, would it perfectly match the body. Once born, there will be a slight deviation between the soul and the body. After birth, children who can still ensure the perfect match between the soul and the body are called Wenqu Linfan in Confucianism, innate Taoist in Taoism, and innocent souls in Buddhism.
In this short period of clarity, Chen Luo mobilized the last trace of red dust energy that was consumed in his body and rushed it into the Yin Linking Vessels. The red dust energy once again found the previous momentum, breaking through the last hindrance in one fell swoop.
At this point, the twelve meridians are connected!
Extraordinary meridians and eight meridians, pass!
Tongmai realm, perfect achievement!
Chen Luo sensed the distance of a majestic force across the space, rushed into this void space, and fixed the entire void.
…
At the same time, the congealing ice that was manipulating the Soul Shaking Tower outside was also suppressed by a majestic force, unable to move, and slight cracks began to appear on the Soul Shaking Tower. Ning Bing wanted to continue to activate the Soul Shaking Tower, but she was powerless in the face of that power. It felt very much like the feeling she had when she followed Granny Jin to witness the Taoist Qingwei transcending the calamity two hundred years ago.
Heavenly Pressure!
At this moment, a strange sound came from the sky, the sound was extremely strange, as if there were cheers, and as if there was a sound of gratitude from all the people, which was also mixed with the sound of reading scriptures.
At this moment, whether it is the thirteen states of the Great Xuan, the wild plains in the northern region, the demon land in the southern border, or the sea of stars in the east, or the Buddhist kingdom in the western region, countless people, demons, and barbarians are attracted by the sound and look up at the sky.
Wei Yan, Tian Ling, and Granny Jin, who were moving fast in the air, were suppressed by Heavenly Pressure at the moment when the sound was made, and they fell from the sky and landed on the ground.
They looked up to the sky.
Only to see the starry sky in the dark night, as if it was cut open by someone, and a colorful galaxy appeared in it, spreading to the sky. The stars are dim, and the bright moon is hidden behind the dark clouds, making the seven colors more dazzling in the night sky.
”Tongtian Road!” Wei Yan lost his voice, “This is the Road to the Heavens!”
Tianling Daojun couldn’t hide the surprise on his face, and muttered to himself: “It turned out to be Road to the Heavens!”
There was also a look of horror in Granny Jin’s always calm eyes. The Road to the Heavens is a way of practice. Since ancient times, The Road to the Heavens has only appeared three times.
The sage speaks, the sky is blue, and the gate of Confucianism opens to the sky.
When the Dao ancestors preach, the purple air came from the east, opening the door to the sky.
Buddha preached, the ground swelled with golden lotuses and opened the Buddhist gate to the sky.
Now, the stars have turned pale, and the bright moon has retreated. It was the great virtuous who opened the fourth colorful road to the sky!
Grandma Jin fixed her gaze somewhere, her heart was shocked again, and she said: “Two seniors, the place where the luck landed, seems to be where Chen Luo and Ning Bing are…”
