From a Zhengyi Taoist Child to a Master of All Laws

Chapter 398 Now that you have seen the True Lord, why not bow?
"How dare you show off your Taoist skills in front of the Heavenly Master! You are truly lawless. Your name will be removed from the Taoist Book of Dao!"

The thin Taoist was furious. Perhaps he was used to bullying others and today was the first time he was disobeyed. He thought it was just a trick and picked up the inkstone to throw at Li Yang.

The thin Taoist priest didn't know, but the Taoist priest in yellow robe knew it very well. He had originally planned to go to Baiyun Mountain to pay homage to the mountain gate after settling the matter here. But when he saw the Moon Essence Wheel, he instantly confirmed the identity of the person in front of him.

However, the bright Moon Essence Wheel made the so-called Zhang Tianshi's brain hesitate for a moment.

"What a great arrogance! If I don't pay my respects to you, I can't even be a Taoist priest, right?" Li Yang looked at the thin Taoist who raised the inkstone, his eyes turned cold, and the next moment a strange weapon like moonlight spun in the air, and a blue light slashed towards the thin Taoist.

The Taoist genealogy is an official record of the names of Taoist lineages throughout the world. To be removed from the Taoist genealogy means being expelled from Taoism and no longer being allowed to call oneself a Taoist.

The thin Taoist realized that he had hit a wall. His legs trembled, his body was locked tightly and he couldn't move. The inkstone in his hand also slipped out of his hand. He was horrified and struggled to speak: "Master, save me!"

"Wait a minute, Li Zhenjun, this is a misunderstanding! This is all a misunderstanding!"

The old Taoist in yellow robe came to his senses and wanted to rescue him, but it was too late. He only felt a blue light passing in front of him and felt a chill all over his body. Then the thin Taoist screamed and fell to the ground, rolling over and over, with an extremely tragic sound.

"As a cultivator, it would be fine if you did not help the people in the disaster area, but you also pretended to be righteous and sat in the Taoist temple. This is a small punishment!"

Li Yang's voice was calm, but to the old Taoist in yellow robe and his followers it sounded like the whisper of a devil.

Li Yang did not kill the thin Taoist priest, but only reduced his cultivation level from that of a spiritual being to that of a mortal.

However, this was even more painful for the thin Taoist than if he were killed. All the meridians and acupoints in his body were frozen and closed. His Qi suddenly stagnated, and he felt as if he was bitten by millions of insects and ants. He rolled on the ground and screamed like a pig being slaughtered.

"Li Zhenjun, this is a misunderstanding. We are disciples of the Tianshi Dao who came from Taiwan to support the disaster-stricken areas in Suzhou and Huanghuai. I am Zhang Daoyuan, the current Tianshi of the Zhengyi Dao!"

The old Taoist in yellow robe no longer dared to be arrogant and immediately revealed his identity!

Li Yang sneered: "Where did this evil villain come from? How dare he pretend to be a heavenly master and occupy the Jade Emperor Temple?!"

After saying that, the Moon Essence Wheel spinning in the air shone even brighter, illuminating the Taoist priests behind the yellow-robed angel so much that their faces turned pale!

"Brother Li, please show some mercy. We have the documents and the official nameplate! This is not a crooked way!"

There was a clever middle-aged Taoist priest next to the old Taoist in yellow robe who seemed to be of high status. He immediately took out a notebook from his arms and was about to step forward to show it to Li Yang.

"Who are you to be worthy of calling me a fellow Taoist?"

Li Yang waved his Taoist robe, and the middle-aged Taoist screamed as if he was hit by a blunt object, and flew backwards dozens of meters.

The companions around the middle-aged Taoist looked at each other, and finally they could only focus their attention on the old Taoist Zhang Daoyuan in the yellow robe in the front.

Zhang Daoyuan looked unhappy and immediately understood what Li Yang meant.
This is to give someone a taste of his own medicine. Just now the thin Taoist asked him to show up to prove his identity, but now the roles are reversed and he has to bow down and show up to prove his identity.

The situation was stronger than the person. The spinning Moon Essence Wheel in the sky made Zhang Daoyuan feel uneasy. His eyes struggled for a long time, and finally he lowered his head and clasped his hands in the Tai Chi style.

"Zhang Daoyuan, the Heavenly Master of Baodao, pays homage to Master Li of Baiyun!"

Zhang Daoyuan lowered his head and clenched his teeth, then presented his ID with both hands.

Li Yang sneered, then took back the Moon Essence Wheel, picked up the certificate with two fingers,

"Zhang Daoyuan, the headmaster of the Tianshi Dao of Baodao, is there really such a person?"

"What happened just now was purely an accident. I failed to discipline my children properly... I am also the 65th Heavenly Master of the Zhengyi Sect."

Li Yang threw the certificate to Zhang Daoyuan, and said in a strange tone: "Zhengyi Sect, Heavenly Master? What a great title."

This nonchalant attitude made the faces of several Taoist priests from the Baodao Tianshi Dao behind them look extremely ugly, and Zhang Daoyuan's face almost turned the color of liver. However, the thin Taoist priest's shrill screams had not stopped, and the group could only lower their heads in humiliation in the end.

"Li Zhenjun, why are you here? Zhenjun has come from afar, so please forgive me for not welcoming you in person. Senior Brother Miaofa often talks to me about you!"

At this moment, a square-faced Taoist priest with a bald head and hunchback came out of the Jade Emperor Temple and saluted Li Yang from a distance.

They were attracted by the terrifying fluctuations of Li Yangyue's Essence Wheel.

Li Yang recognized this bald and hunchbacked Taoist priest. He was the second-in-command of the Successor Han Tianshi Mansion on the mainland and Zhang Miaofa's junior fellow apprentice Zhang Miaocheng. They had met each other before when he borrowed the alchemy furnace to forge swords in Qingcheng Mountain.

Zhang Miaocheng was standing between the yellow-robed Taoist priest Zhang Daoyuan and Li Yang. He sensed the subtlety of the situation and laughed in his heart, knowing that this group of arrogant clan relatives had hit a wall.

"Master Miaocheng, we just had a small misunderstanding with Master Li. Now that the misunderstanding has been resolved, we are planning to host a banquet to entertain Master Li."

Zhang Daoyuan didn't want to lose face in front of the mainland clan, so he explained it with gritted teeth and also extended an invitation to Li Yang.

Li Yang seemed not to have heard it. He ignored Zhang Daoyuan and walked towards the bald and hunchbacked Zhang Miaocheng.

"I heard that Taoist Master Zhang Miaofa disappeared a few days ago, is that right?"

Zhang Miaocheng's face immediately darkened, and his already hunched back seemed even lower. "He has been missing for half a month. The disciples of the Taoist Academy have searched the flood-stricken areas and the upper and lower reaches of the Yellow River and Huai River, but there is no clue."

"Three disciples from my Baiyun Taoist Academy are also missing. Perhaps they are related to the disappearance of Taoist Master Zhang Miaofa." "We have some information that may be helpful to you, Master. Please follow me!"

Zhang Miaocheng straightened his hunchbacked body and made way for Li Yang.

"True Lord, please!"

"Master Miaocheng, please!"

After saying that, the two of them walked side by side and entered the corridor in the front courtyard of Yuhuang Temple.

A long time after the two left, Zhang Daoyuan and his group of supporters looked extremely ugly.

They had never been completely ignored like this before. Zhang Daoyuan prided himself on being a contemporary Heavenly Master. He was surrounded by people before the revival of spiritual energy in Treasure Island. After the revival of spiritual energy, he was even more honorable. He was the only one who ignored others. How could he have been ignored like this? !

"Tianshi, Senior Brother Jingming and Senior Brother Jingan..."

The younger Taoist priest next to him asked tentatively,

The senior brothers Jingming and Jingan he mentioned were the thin Taoist whose cultivation was destroyed by Li Yang and the middle-aged Taoist who flew away.

"Hmph, two blind idiots, they have caused trouble and caused a rift between this Heavenly Master and Li Zhenjun. Take them away and send them back to the island overnight!"

Zhang Daoyuan waved his sleeves and walked into the Jade Emperor Temple with a grim look on his face.
-
"I was born with a hunchback. I went to many big hospitals when I was young, but the hunchback was only slightly alleviated..."

"The flesh on my back is swollen and the blood vessels are dirty and pus-filled. Unless I have the hope of glimpsing the innate realm in this life and regulating my body's qi, blood and meridians, I'm afraid I'll have to carry this on my back until I die."

Zhang Miaocheng looked at Li Yang glancing at his hunchback and smiled modestly.

Perhaps because he was born with a hunchback and ugly appearance, Zhang Miaocheng was somewhat introverted and inferior in his behavior. In the eyes of others, he was also a weird and stubborn person.

"To regulate qi and blood and to clear the meridians, one does not necessarily need to wait until the innate stage"

Walking on the corridor of the Jade Emperor Temple complex, Li Yang smiled faintly, and then a few talismans appeared when he flipped his right hand.

"This is a meridian-opening talisman that I recently drew. You should burn one every seven days and mix it with water to make ashes and drink it. After forty-nine days, it may have miraculous effects."

Anything produced by Li Yang must be of high quality, which is recognized by the industry. Now the talismans from Baiyun Mountain have been sold at sky-high prices among the wealthy business community.

Zhang Miaocheng was immediately overjoyed, accepted the talisman and kept thanking him.

The buildings in Yuhuang Temple are staggered, and it is an ancient Hui style building complex with four front palaces and rear palaces, double-eaved red pillars, red walls and red doors.

Passing through the alleys, the palaces and temples you see along the way are large in scale and magnificent in appearance. Most of the temples are covered with camphor trees, which shade the sun and create a very quiet environment.

Li Yang couldn't help but stop when passing by a Jade Emperor Temple. This temple covers an area of ​​500 square meters, the largest of all the temples in the Jade Emperor Temple and also the tallest building in the Jade Emperor Temple. The building has a hip roof, upturned corners, red walls and green tiles, carved beams and painted buildings, and is magnificent.

What made Li Yang stop was not the grandeur of the hall, but the couplets on the columns on both sides of the hall's entrance:
[Golden boys and jade girls serve the Nine Dragons and the Twelve Heavenly Generals to spread the Dao, the evening drums and morning bells shake the four seas and the Nine Five Immortals spread the mystery]

The couplet is carved on the wooden pillars. The words are blurred and cannot be seen clearly, but it still gives people an ethereal feeling. I don’t know which dynasty it was left from.

"The writer of this couplet must be a great and powerful person in ancient times, with unfathomable accomplishments."

Li Yang looked at the words on the pillars, his eyes sparkling.
"Your Excellency has good eyesight!"

Zhang Miaocheng smiled and stood up straighter. "According to the local chronicles of Suzhou, this was written by the founder of the Eastern Han Dynasty before he attained enlightenment. It is almost two thousand years old. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, the local cultural relics bureau repaired it several times, so it was preserved."

Li Yang was speechless immediately. No wonder Zhang Miaocheng smiled so charmingly.

Zhang Daoling, the Patriarch of Heaven, is the founder of the Zhengyi Taoist school, and the ancestor of Zhang Miaocheng and Zhang Daoyuan. I just inadvertently flattered this Patriarch of Heaven.

"Isn't the ancestral temple of the Tianshi Dao in Longhu Mountain, Jiangxi? How could the ancestor Tianshi leave his mark here?"

Zhang Miaocheng bowed and answered proudly:

"You don't know, Master Zhen, that the Patriarch Tianshi traveled extensively throughout his life. He had meditated in places such as Ba County, Jiangxi Province, Luoyang Beimang Mountain, Yunjin Mountain, Heming Mountain, and Songshan Mountain. The Suzhou Huanghuai area was the Fengyi of Pei State during the Eastern Han Dynasty, and it was also the place where the Patriarch Tianshi was born."

"I see……"

Li Yang nodded and stood under the pillar for a long time.
However, the only thing that seemed to be interesting about the Jade Emperor Temple was the pillars. Although the decorations inside were simple and solemn, Li Yang could not hide the fact that they were all fake.

Noises were heard outside in the Jade Emperor Hall, and then several Taoists came out. Someone recognized Zhang Miaocheng and observed the two of them from a distance.

"Let's go, Master Zhenjun. Our Taoist temple is located in the Imperial Book Pavilion. This is the temporary residence of the Baodao Tianshi Dao."

Zhang Miaocheng was somewhat angry when he talked about the Treasure Island Tianshi Dao. This Jade Emperor Temple was originally the site of the Suzhou Taoist Temple, but it was occupied by Zhang Daoyuan and his men. He had to lead the Suzhou Taoist Temple to move to the Imperial Decree Pavilion.
