From a Zhengyi Taoist Child to a Master of All Laws

Chapter 414: Shamanism, Water and Fire

Li Yang did not return to the mountain. Wang Xin and Yan Fu also wanted to follow him to see the excitement. Fortunately, Li Yang took them directly to Jiangxi.

The destination of their trip was Longhu Mountain in Yingtan, Jiangxi Province, and the Tianshi Mansion of the Successor Han Dynasty.

This was Li Yang's second visit to the Successor Han Tianshi Mansion in Longhu Mountain. After the Luotian Dajiao, the Successor Han Tianshi Mansion was in a completely closed state. In addition, most of the Taoist priests in the Tianshi Mansion were assigned to serve in Taoist temples across the country. Only a few elders were left behind. The huge Tianshi Mansion has been very deserted in the past few years.

It wasn't until the beginning of January that the entire Tianshi Mansion suddenly became lively.

This battle of wits is the internal affair of the Tianshi Mansion, so it has been kept secret from the outside world. The official has not shown up at the Tianshi Mansion, and the reporters, anchors and internet celebrities who were waiting only saw a group of old Taoist priests with serious faces and murderous intent going up to Longhu Mountain, and there are many different opinions.

As the saying goes, things in the underworld are left to the underworld, and that’s pretty much it.

When Li Yang arrived at Longhu Mountain, most of the important figures from the Orthodox Oneness on both the Taiwan and mainland sides had already arrived.

On the treasure island side, the leader is another innate master, Zhang Fazhen, who calls himself the 65th generation of Heavenly Master.

On the mainland, the Zhengyi sect has no innate masters, and Zhang Miaofa still has an elder from the Zhang family as the boss.

On January 2, just after New Year's Day, the two important figures met and invited Li Yang as a witness. They had a heated argument,
Zhang Fazhen and Zhang Daoyuan are incompatible in Taiwan, but that doesn't mean he is a good person. Zhang Fazhen is younger than Zhang Daoyuan, tall and thin, and doesn't look as flamboyant as Zhang Daoyuan. He is a bit introverted and low-key.

However, this guy only looks low-key, but he is not low-key in his words and deeds. As soon as he opened his mouth, he said that he wanted to take over Longhu Mountain and be in charge of the Tianshi Sect. He is extremely domineering and also dreams of becoming a contemporary orthodox Tianshi.

An elder from the Longhu Mountain on the mainland was so angry that he would have almost overturned the table if Li Yang hadn't dozed off next to him.

Since they couldn't reach an agreement through negotiation, they had no choice but to fight. The two sides drew up a charter, agreeing that on January 5th each side would select people to fight, with two out of three games to win, regardless of life or death, and that no outside help would be allowed.

However, since both parties have chosen to negotiate and have gathered at the Zhengyi ancestral temple, this also represents an attitude of consensus between the two parties: merger is inevitable.

But who will be obeyed after the merger? We will know it only after the fight.

The three days given were used to first arrange the construction of the fighting venue and secondly for both sides to select the candidates for the fight.
Zhang Miaofa summoned back all the Zhang family members who were working in the Taoist temple, and Zhang Fazhen also summoned all the relatives and disciples from Taiwan.

The mainland Tianshi Dao resides in the Lingzhi Garden in the Tianshi Mansion, while the Taiwan Tianshi Dao gathers in the Hengjinliang Courtyard of the Tianshi Mansion. The disciples of the two sides are clearly divided. They were obviously one family and members of the Zhang clan sixty years ago, but now they are like enemies when they meet, and they are on the verge of a showdown.

The integration of Zhengtian Taoist sect is no small matter. In addition to Li Yang, Qi Qiansu, who was in seclusion in Qingcheng Taoist Temple, was also invited to come and live together in Weiyu Academy in the back garden of Tianshi Mansion.

Weiyu Academy is located behind the Tianshi Ancestral Temple. It was a private school for the children of the Zhang clan in ancient times. It was built in the Ming Dynasty. It has two buildings with a total of nine rooms, divided into two parts, front and back, with a patio in the middle. The Zhang family has always maintained its original appearance. When Li Yang and Qi Qiansu moved in, even the night lighting was still oil lamps.

Compared with the tense and stormy situation in the front yard of Tianshi Mansion, the Weiyu Academy in the back yard can be said to be peaceful. Li Yang and Qi Qiansu, two big men from China, have not seen each other for a long time. They discussed scriptures and debated for several times and did not return until dawn.

Wang Xin, Yan Fu and Yang Xinwu had long fantasized about the legendary ancestral temple of Zhengyi. In addition, the Tianshi Mansion covered a huge area. Except for the front yard, the three of them wandered around like tourists every day.

One morning, Li Yang and Qi Qiansu were talking about Taoism and chatting. Qi Qiansu, who was wearing a simple dark blue Taoist robe, suddenly changed the subject and told Li Yang a piece of news.
"According to the information from Li Zhenjun and the Taoist Alliance, Taoist priests Wu Peng and Zheng Zhaoyuan really did intercept more than ten European shamanism priests in the Minjian Sea. These people really intended to illegally enter our country. Most of them were killed on the spot by Taoist priests Wu Peng and Zheng Zhaoyuan. Only one leading priest escaped with serious injuries. The Taoist Alliance and the official Special Bureau have sent people to hunt them down."

After saying this, Qi Qiansu's face suddenly darkened, and he looked intimidating without even getting angry: "Zhang Daoyuan is really a lunatic. He even dared to collude with foreign cults to try to shield them from entering the country. He deserves to be annihilated and die!"

Li Yang nodded slightly. This information about the Shamanism was exactly what he found when he searched the soul with Zhang Daoyuan. However, Zhang Daoyuan didn't know the true intention of this Shamanism, so Li Yang simply handed it over to the Dao League to deal with. "Did you ask what they wanted to do when they entered the country?"

"That's why I said this was a cult." Qi Qiansu shook his head. "All the captured people chose to self-destruct. Taoist Wu Peng was almost seriously injured, which is why the leading priest jumped into the sea to escape."

"It was so hard to subdue one. Taoist Zheng Zhaoyuan is proficient in formations. He originally wanted to set up a great formation to confuse the soul, but he didn't expect that as soon as his spiritual power touched his sea of ​​consciousness, the other party's brain exploded."

This is no longer a cult, but terrorists.

"But Wu Peng and Taoist Zheng are tracking us right now, so there won't be any trouble."

Li Yang nodded and suppressed the strange feeling in his heart.

The incident passed quickly. The two had talked about countless things these days. After chatting for a long time, Qi Qiansu suddenly looked strange and stopped what he was doing while looking at the front hall. "Another one?"

"Yes, it's from the Treasure Island." Li Yang took a sip of tea with a calm expression: "I am surprised that after such a long time, Fellow Daoist Qi's spiritual cultivation has improved so quickly?"

At this time, Qi Qiansu's hair had all turned gray again, and the skin on his face was glowing with a divine light, and it was obvious that his inner alchemy practice had made progress again.

Qi Qianshu smiled modestly: "Mr. Li, you are too kind. I was also inspired by your Yang Shen and changed some of the methods of the Inner Dan Yang Shen. I am still exploring and dare not claim to have achieved anything."

"You don't just copy the methods of the ancients. Brother Qi is really bold."

Qi Qiansu had already developed the inner elixir Yangshen when he was cultivating the Tao. However, after seeing Li Yang's two displays of Yangshen magical powers in Ximo and Huang Huai, he suddenly felt that there was a huge gap between them.

Wuliang Tianzun, we are both Yang Gods. It’s thundering in the middle of the day and I don’t even dare to let my Yang God leave my body. How can your Yang God’s form cover a thousand miles?

He began to believe the so-called Little Yang God that Li Yang had talked about before. The inner alchemy skills collected by the Taoist Alliance were extremely rare to be cultivated to the level of the seed of Tao. That's why he went into seclusion to comprehend what Li Yang called the 'Big Yang God' in the hope of a breakthrough.

The extremely long-range spiritual awareness coverage was one of the methods explored during this short retreat. Qi Qiansu did not expect that Li Yang could judge his condition just by a few words, which made him feel even more in awe.

Qi Qianshu suppressed his fear and sighed, then turned his gaze towards the deep and solemn Zhengyi ancestral temple under the morning sun:

"It will never cease, it will never be annihilated, there will be a rest after sixty-three generations"

"How revered is the title of Heavenly Master? It was also the 63rd Heavenly Master who exhausted the Zhang family's luck, resulting in no one innate in the Zhengyi sect on the mainland, while the Tianshi sect on the treasure island flourished."

Li Yang nodded. "That makes sense. The Book of Changes has 64 hexagrams in total, and the 63rd hexagram is called Water and Fire Ji Ji. The Zhengyi Dao ended with 63 generations, which is exactly in line with this hexagram."

After saying that, Li Yang changed the subject: "The merits and virtues are perfect and then they decline. It seems to be in the right position, but it is actually fraught with danger... However, the end of the sixty-third generation may not be the final fate of the Zhengyi sect."

Qi Qianshu hesitated: "Fellow Daoist Li, what do you mean?"

Li Yang stood up, his eyes also looking towards the front yard of Tianshi Mansion, his tone vague: "The 63rd hexagram of the Book of Changes is called Water and Fire Ji Ji hexagram, but the last 64th hexagram of the Book of Changes is called Water and Fire Wei Ji..."
