Chapter 137 Copper, Iron, and Tin

After hearing Taoist Ruoque's answer, Chu Tai became interested and asked, "Closer to immortality than you? There are such capable people in the court. I wonder if there is such a person among the three people who came this time?"

"The court officials are different from us. When they go out, they usually take a character from gold, silver, copper, iron, or tin to form a pseudonym that matches their own characteristics. For example, the one who came this time is the Copper Monk, the Railway Man, and the Tin Scholar. But I'm not sure which one it is."

"No guess at all?"

Chu Tai frowned slightly. Taoist Ruo Que thought for a moment and said, "It's not that there is no answer. The old Taoist priest had some guesses. He wrote in a letter that the railway man who came with him should be a genius who was famous for his skills a hundred years ago."

"This genius was also a casual cultivator in his early years. I don't know where he learned the Iron Shirt from. He practiced from the outside to the inside, turning hardness into softness and softness into hardness."

"It is said that the previous Heavenly Master saw him and felt sorry for his good talent but lack of proper guidance, so he taught him the art of breathing and the art of bone strengthening, so that he could focus on Dantian while strengthening his body, so that he could cultivate both inside and outside, and achieve the harmony of yin and yang."

"Now, from the letter sent by the Heavenly Master, I suspect that he has also practiced the secret magic of the Liangyi Kanli Gangqi collected by the court. I think he has also practiced the matching magic of Yinfeng Knife and Flame Knife. He must be a first-class killer."

After saying this, Taoist Ruoque looked towards the direction of the capital.

"It is said that the copper monk who delivered supplies to Bu Tian Cliff, according to the court's practice, usually chooses monks who practice Zen Buddhism."

"When the imperial court was established, the Zen sect was in decline. They resolutely offered most of the cultivation texts except for the fundamental method of Yijing Xisui, and spread the entry method throughout the world, in exchange for the support of the imperial court. They became a cultivation force in the world today that is even more powerful than Longhu Mountain."

"As for the last scholar of tin, it is the most difficult to guess. There are hundreds of schools of thought in the court, and there are quite a few who have cultivated to great success. Although their melee abilities are not very good, they are very difficult to deal with in some aspects when combined with the power of the court. I don't know which lineage the old senior who came this time is from."

Hearing this, Chu Tai did not continue to ask, but said indifferently: "If that's the case, then we will just fight back when we meet them. After all, if we want to ascend to heaven, they will probably be the only way to get around us."

"By the way, I wonder if Little Tianshi will come with Zhang Tianshi this time?"

Chu Tai suddenly thought of Yun Wei’s concern and asked another question.

Now, under his guidance, although Yun Wei has changed his target, he is still young and energetic. If he sees the little master again in a few days, he will inevitably have a fight with him.

Hearing this, Taoist Ruo Que also understood Chu Tai's intention and nodded, saying, "This matter concerns the imperial court and Bu Tian Cliff. Zhang Tianshi will definitely bring him along, and Yun Wei can communicate with him at that time. Well, it's just that Yun Wei's cultivation is still a little inferior now..."

After pondering for a while, Taoist Ruoque summoned Yun Wei to his side, asked about his recent progress in cultivation, and started some targeted training with Chu Tai.

During this period, Chu Tai and Taoist Ruo Que were exchanging their experiences in cultivation as usual and deducing the subsequent possibilities of their ascension.

Six days later, Chu Tai and Taoist Ruo Que went to the mountain gate to welcome Zhang Tianshi and his party. After they sat down, everyone did not exchange too many pleasantries, but went straight to the point.

The Taoist wearing the iron mask looked at Chu Tai and asked directly about his origins, saying that there was no record of him in the entire court.

"I have been searching for a long time in the imperial sects. There are four recorded Jinhua sects, but none of them can match your faction."

"Moreover, the earliest record of you appeared during the completely irregular sky crack a month ago."

"Several supervisors, deputy supervisors, supervisors, and junior supervisors of the Heavenly Supervision Department have calculated the bleeding of the seven orifices but have not found any information about you."

"May I ask Taoist priest, where are you from? What is your intention in spreading the Dao in this important place called Bu Tian Cliff?"

Every time the railway man spoke, he took a step forward. When he asked the last question, his momentum was like waves of the sea.

Looking at the railway man, Chu Tai narrowed his eyes slightly, and could not help but secretly sigh at the cleverness of the court. First, the information that the copper monk, the railway man, and the tin scholar came together was released, giving people the illusion that they would threaten him only when the three of them arrived.

In fact, the railway man started questioning as soon as he arrived, and pointed out that Chu Tai was related to the sky crack, and might even be a person from outer space.

In this way, both Zhang Tianshi and Ruoque Taoist would be better off just standing by and watching, or even helping when the railway workers are in danger.

Finally, Chu Tai looked outside the Butian Cliff, and faint mist and the light of the sun and the moon appeared in his eyes. The two faint auras were combining with the railway people. Once any problems occurred on the railway people's side, or the railway people gave any instructions, support would arrive immediately.

"If it was half a month ago, I might have been a little worried, but now..."

Chu Tai shook his head, looked back at the railway man, and said with a smile: "The Taoist priest has already guessed it, why bother asking me again? My coming to the world was also an accident. The purpose of spreading the Taoism is to learn from the strengths of this method and pursue the way to the immortal world."

"Good! Good! Good! It really is the demon from outside the domain, take my sword!"

The railway man shouted "good" three times in a row, and all his strength was concentrated in his body. Firelight gathered, and he raised his right hand, put his five fingers together, and made a palm knife gesture, and chopped down fiercely. A burst of energy as hot as flames fell down, like a giant flaming blade a meter long slashing down heavily.

"You have a bad temper, Taoist. I have never done anything evil, and I have never caused any bad influence on this side. You shouted for war and killing before you knew my strength. You are really calculating!"

Seeing this, Chu Tai flicked his long sleeves and mist rose up, colliding with the blazing energy. The strong energy distorted the surrounding light, making both of them look hazy.

But at the same time as the two energies collided, under the flaming sword energy driven by the railway man, a sharp and cold wind emerged from the flames, which cleverly moved in an arc, avoiding Chu Tai's energy and pointing directly at his throat.

"Ok?"

Chu Tai stretched out his hand, snapped his fingers, and a red leaf flew out, deflecting the cold wind. Then red leaves fell from the sky and danced in all directions, so gorgeous. There were seventy-two golden lights swirling back and forth inside, forcing the railway man to retreat again and again. Energy surged on his body, and a robe that seemed to be made of iron sheets emerged, with long sleeves flying. Cold wind and flames rose, constantly deflecting the falling golden light.

Zhang Tianshi saw this and wanted to speak, but he saw Taoist Ruoque suddenly looking at him. Tianshi frowned and said, "Daoyou Ruoque, what are you going to do?"

"Has Fellow Daoist Taining ever committed any sin?"

Zhang Tianshi responded: "No. Wait, if Ruo Que is still calling him a Taoist friend?"

Taoist Ruo Que did not answer, but asked: "Can the existence of Taoist Taining have any impact on our world?"

"Although I cannot be sure, it is very likely that his advent caused the last sky rift to occur."

Zhang Tianshi had already understood what Taoist Ruoque meant, and sighed, "Daoyou, this person may not have committed any evil deeds, but his existence is a taboo for us. We must find out the whole story. You can't stop him..."

As Zhang Tianshi finished speaking, a lion's roar was heard, and the Sanyuan Feng Shui Bureau came to a momentary stagnation. Then, iron chains flew up from the shore and landed on the Bu Tian Cliff.

At the same time, a monk radiating brass light and an old man in a tin robe appeared at the same time.

As soon as the two appeared, they looked at Chu Tai at the same time.

The bronze monk put his hands together, and the next moment, an indescribable strong force surged out from his body. Then he slapped out with one palm, and an illusory palm shadow emerged from mid-air. The large palm had complete lines, and at first glance it gave the feeling of an innate grappling hand.

However, the essence of this palm shadow is the innate Qi in Monk Tong's body derived from a special method, and it contains the most powerful and fierce force to subdue demons.
