From a Zhengyi Taoist Child to a Master of All Laws

Chapter 403 Laojun's Secret Teaching
After being trapped in a cave in the mountain for half a month, Zhang Miaofa could only drink sewage filtered through rocks to satisfy his hunger. His face was as pale as paper. When he heard the words of the thin Taoist priest, his face strangely turned blood red.

"What a Zhang Daoyuan! This bastard is not only eyeing the orthodoxy of the Heavenly Master, but he also dreams of becoming the leader of the Taoist sect. How can he be qualified?"

"Humph, the leader of the Taoist sect has always been the Heavenly Master of our Zhang family. It is legitimate and reasonable. How can there be any delusion of spying?" The thin Taoist outside the cave looked particularly enthusiastic at this time: "Since the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the influence of our Zhengtian Taoist sect has been declining. Now is the time to revitalize the Zhang family. Uncle Miaofa, why are you so stubborn!"

"The Zhengyi Taoist sect has gone through more than two thousand years. Its mission has been completed. It is time for it to retire... Never mind, I don't think you, a beast, understand what is good and what is bad. You are not qualified to communicate with me. Let Zhang Daoyuan come!"

Being scolded by Zhang Miaofa as a beast, the thin Taoist was also a little angry at the moment, with a cold face: "Master Zhang Daoyuan is busy with many things, I will take care of the affairs here! Uncle Miaofa, as the saying goes, courtesy comes before force, I have said all the good things to you, don't think that we can't unify the Zhengtian Taoist just because we have hidden the Yangping Zhidu Gongyin!"

"I came here today to give you an ultimatum. If you don't give in within a week, there will be an earthquake in Funiushan Mountain, causing a landslide that will bury you and everything in this cave. Take care of yourself!"

After saying this, the thin Taoist waved his sleeves and turned to leave.

In the cave, Zhang Miaofa staggered as he heard the thin Taoist's footsteps getting farther and farther away, but fortunately he was caught by Wang Xin.

Both of them were awakened spirits, and had not yet reached the level of fasting in Xiantian Kung Fu. After being imprisoned for nearly half a month, they could only drink water every day. At this moment, both of them were exhausted.
Wang Xin, who was already extremely weak, slowly leaned over Zhang Miaofa and sat down on a rock. Thinking of the dying Zhang Miaofa who had just stood there with his hair and beard fluttering like a roaring old lion, he couldn't help but smile miserably.

"As expected of the abbot of Mount Longhu, Taoist Zhang is so energetic even when scolding people."

Zhang Miaofa, whose hair and beard were tangled and matted, shook his head and smiled bitterly after hearing this: "What's the point of scolding people? These crazy guys won't be awakened by scolding. It will only make life difficult for tens of millions of people in Suzhou and Huanghuai, as well as for you, Taoist Wang Xin."

"If you hadn't been entrusted by me to help with the investigation, you wouldn't have fallen into such danger, and you wouldn't have to wait here for death with an old man like me."

Zhang Miaofa lowered his head, his tone extremely depressed and low.

Upon hearing this, Wang Xin immediately knew that this stubborn old Taoist priest had made his choice.

Wang Xin didn't know whether Zhang Miaofa had the whereabouts of the Yangping Zhidu Seal, but even if he did, he couldn't hand it over.

Anyone with a discerning eye could see that Zhang Daoyuan and his gang were so ruthless that they wanted to flood Xuzhou. How could such a scandal allow the two of them who knew about it to leave here alive?

Wang Xin has been studying Taoism in the mountains for four years. He is only 27 years old this year. He has not reached the state of enlightenment and indifference to life and death, so at this time, he listened quietly to Master Zhang's narration, but he was actually a little scared.

However, he turned around and comforted Zhang Miaofa: "Master Zhang, this matter is not your fault. This is my own choice. When I followed and traced here that day, I should have returned in time to discuss it with you. It was because I was greedy for merit and rushed forward that I was discovered, and they used me as bait to lure you here, which led to the current situation." "But Taoist Zhang, what exactly is this Yangping Zhidu Gong Seal? Why is Zhang Daoyuan so crazy to get the seal?"

Zhang Miaofa sighed, his voice was vicissitudes:

"It's just an ordinary jade seal. It's not as mysterious as the rumors say. There's no such thing as the Lord of Heaven personally teaching the ancestor Tianshi to fight the six ghost kings of Qingcheng Mountain in Shu... I haven't seen it either. I just heard the elders in my family mention it when I was a child. This Yangping Zhidu Gong Seal is a token of my Zhang family Tianshi. It is a seven-fen thick and one and a half inches long golden dragon seal. There's nothing magical about it."

"The seal is named Yangping Zhidu Gongyin because after the founding of Taoism, the first seat of the Taoist priest was Yangping. This is the first of the twenty-four seats of Taoism. Therefore, Yangping Zhidu Gongyin has always symbolized the supreme power of the Taoist priest to command ghosts and gods.

According to legend, the Zhengyi Sect has three magic weapons. If the Sanwu Zhanxie Male and Female Sword and the Zhengyi Mengwei Talisman are just a symbol and a token, then the Yangping Zhidu Gongyin determines the orthodoxy of the Zhengyi Heavenly Master! ! "

Speaking of this, Zhang Miaofa's brows were tightly twisted into a shape of a "川" (river).

The stone bull that suppresses the water veins in Funiushan Mountain was created by the Taoist Patriarch Tianshi after he attained enlightenment in the Eastern Han Dynasty. Zhang Daoyuan's cultivation is only at the innate level, so how could he destroy the stone bull?
The only weapons that can destroy the stone bull are the male and female Sanwu Zhanxie swords, a pair of magic swords with secret runes and the sun, moon and stars engraved on the sword bodies, symbolizing the eighty-one incarnations of Laozi. The female sword was suppressed in the Jiegui Well on Heming Mountain, and the male sword was passed to the sixty-third generation Heavenly Master Zhang Enpu. There has been no news of Zhang Enpu since his death sixty years ago.

It seems that the male sword of the Three-Five-Slaying Evil Sword has already been revealed. No wonder Zhang Daoyuan was able to defeat Zhang Fazhen in the battle between the Zhengyi Sect in Treasure Island...

Wang Xin didn't know that Zhang Miaofa had deduced so many things from a stone bull, but he was still curious and asked, "Hiss, why is that fellow Zhang Daoyuan so sure that the seal is on you that he even set up such a big situation?"

After two days of analysis and discussion, the two of them have roughly analyzed the ins and outs of this matter.
Zhang Daoyuan knew that Zhang Miaofa was the principal of Suzhou Taoist Temple, so he sneaked into the temple and destroyed the stone bull that suppressed the water veins in the Huanghuai area. When things were getting out of control, he was sure that Zhang Miaofa would come to rescue him, so he guided Zhang Miaofa to Funiu Mountain step by step.

If there was only one surprise, it was the intrusion of Wang Xin, Yang Xinwu and Yan Fu from Baiyun Taoist Temple.

"Humph, how would I know? This guy is mentally ill. Although my grandfather Zhang Xiangzhi is the younger brother of the 63rd Heavenly Master Zhang Enpu, when Zhang Enpu went to Taiwan, all the good things on the mountain had been looted by them, leaving only a Liuyi clay furnace and a bare mountain for my grandfather. He was penniless and even the palace was renovated with a loan from the government!!!"

Zhang Miaofa blew his beard and glared, somewhat angrily.
He boasted that his talent was better than Zhang Daoyuan's, but Longhu Mountain was not of much help to him after it was hollowed out. On the contrary, Tianshi Dao in Treasure Island had been thriving since the revival of spiritual energy, and two innate masters, Zhang Daoyuan and Zhang Fazhen, had appeared one after another.

Not knowing how to persuade him, Wang Xin could only scratch his head.

Zhang Miaofa's failure in breaking through his innate ability and his near-death experience has been used as a negative example by major Taoist academies, and he has become a celebrity.
