The Great Way to Truth, Starting from Jiazi Laodao

Chapter 206 Seeing is believing, and doing is believing

Yuelai Inn, in the side room.

The sword rang, and the peach wood sword returned.

Li Zizai fell to the ground, feeling dizzy.

Glancing at Xuanming, he said with a pale face: "Master... Ugh!!!"

Looking at his apprentice who was vomiting madly, Xuan Ming shook his head helplessly. He still had to practice!
Others suffer from motion sickness and seasickness.

This kid is a sword stunner.

As a Taoist priest, how can I be dazed by a sword?
Although it was because the peach wood sword was too excited and took Li Zizai into the blue sky, flew around the Zhen Mansion up and down, left and right, and even dropped straight down at 90 degrees, this was not the main reason.

If he wasn't dizzy, this kid should be enjoying the excitement and having fun.

The bumpy joy is indescribable.

Pouring a cup of warm water and handing it to the silly apprentice, Xuanming sat back on the couch, turned over his left hand and stared at the palm of his hand.

His divine thoughts entered the Taiji Heaven and condensed into Xuanming, which was completely different from his sloppy appearance. At this moment, he had white hair and a long beard, kind eyes, and held a whisk in his hand, looking like an immortal.

But in the eyes of the suppressed Black Water Mystic Snake and Xu Youshan, it looked hideous.

The Black Water Snake closed its eyes and pretended to be dead, not saying a word.

Seeing this, Xu Youshan had no choice but to go up himself. He stared at Xuanming angrily and said unwillingly, "Who are you?"

"I am Xuanming, and I have met the Great Wizard."

He bowed and said calmly.

Xu Youshan was shocked: "Master Xuanming from Fengyang County!"

Xuanming chuckled and nodded.

"The Wu Clan is far away in the southern border. The Great Wu hides his identity and travels to the north. But he wants to make preparations for the Wu Clan's future and make arrangements in advance so that the north and the south can start an uprising together and let Daxuan suffer from internal and external troubles?
Or is there another reason?"

Facing Xuanming's inquiry, Xu Youshan remained silent, imitating the Black Water Snake and closing his eyes to rest.

Xuanming was not surprised. If Xu Youshan could really answer so easily, he would have been worried.

Looking at the snake and the witch who were fighting silently, Xuan Ming did not force them with words. He waved his whisk lightly, and the Samadhi True Fire burned their souls. The Tai Chi Heaven suppressed their great Dao laws, and the thunder turned into chains to bind their bodies.

Xuanming turned and left.

---

In the wing room.

Li Zizai stopped vomiting.

Facing his disciple's resentful eyes, Xuan Ming did not feel guilty at all. He took a sip of tea and explained calmly:
"When God bestows a great mission upon a person, he must first make his mind and body suffer. You were born extraordinary and shouldered a heavy responsibility, but your strength is weak and your cultivation is shallow. If you want to make achievements on the path of cultivation, you must undergo various trials and temper yourself into steel.

In this way, you will be able to stand out in the future, catch up with or even surpass your teacher, and be free and at ease while shouldering the burden.

Otherwise, why do you call yourself free?"

Li Zizai rolled his eyes and reacted indifferently.

When he heard this when he first traveled, his blood boiled, and he always felt that the sky was the boss, the earth was second, and he was third.

The master can barely be considered the fourth one.

Because of this, he is really in trouble.

Always be at the forefront of everything.

I’m afraid of letting God down.

After suffering so many losses, Li Zizai became smarter and realized that this old man was very bad and was simply deceiving him.

Whoever wants this kindness can take it.

Seeing that his disciple was not fooled and that he began to reveal a hint of a carefree aura that was between introversion and lying down, Xuan Ming was pleased. He deliberately blew his beard and glared, rolled up his whisk, and gave Li Zizai a blow on the head.

"You little brat, if the master has something to do, the disciple should do the work. If you are asked to go, you have to go. Why are you talking so much nonsense?"

Li Zizai felt pain and covered his forehead, unable to help but mutter, "That's right, you are already in your seventies and eighties, why are you playing such tricks on your son?"

When Xuanming raised the whisk, Li Zizai was so frightened that he immediately shut up and quickly jumped to the door, muttering:

"Master, I'll go downstairs to get you some cakes."

Push the door open, then turn around and close it.

As the door was about to close, he couldn't help but say, "Master, you were talking nonsense just now. I was only telling the truth."

As soon as he finished speaking, the whisk was thrown over.

Li Zizai was so scared that he immediately closed the door.

As he raised his hand, the whisk flew back. Xuanming said unhappily, "You little bastard, I was led astray by your chatterbox."

Leaning against the door, Li Zizai stroked his chest with his left hand, feeling relieved. Hearing the muttering coming from inside, he muttered to himself, "You say one thing and mean another. You are obviously a nagging person yourself."

The words fell.

He cried out in pain, covering his head and begging for mercy.

Only then did Xuanming stop.

Looking at the huge bump on his forehead caused by his presence through the window, making him look like a smaller version of the disciple of the Antarctic Immortal, Xuanming felt no sympathy at all.

"You should be beaten if you talk about your elders behind their backs!"

Spreading out his five fingers and looking at them carefully, Xuanming bent his fingers and silently practiced the angle of snapping his fingers, thinking about how to make the snap force strong enough and use the force more skillfully?
Jade is not cut, not a device.

Beat your apprentice while he is still young.

When you grow up, it’s not fun anymore.

He had gotten used to playing the instrument over the past six months and felt that having such a hobby was quite good. At least after getting used to it, he found that he had the potential to develop the immortal-style finger-snapping magic.

That night, the autumn moon was cold.

All the cultivation forces in Zhaoqiu City moved together.

The City God Temple was filled with incense and the City God himself came out; the Guangfasi, Tiandiyuan, Wuxiantang and other strongholds here and the local sects and families in the city each sent representatives.

They arrived outside Yuelai Inn one after another.

In the side room, in front of the desk.

The candle flame flickered slightly. Xuanming stared at the Taoist scripture intently. After turning a page, he instructed Li Zizai:

"Tell the people outside that it is enough for them to have this intention. I am just passing by here and will leave soon."

After thinking for a while, he continued:

“If anyone asks about my identity, just tell them the truth and tell them to properly handle the Jia family’s property.

Part of it was used to provide relief to the common people and solve their urgent needs; part of it was used to establish academies of trades or to sponsor poor students so that the poor people could acquire a skill.

Investigate the merits and demerits of the people in the Jia and Zhen mansions, severely punish those who are guilty, and do not make things difficult for those who are innocent.

I will keep an eye on them. If they deceive their superiors and subordinates and enrich themselves, I will not sit idly by and do nothing."

He handed a wish-fulfilling bag to his apprentice and an envelope, and explained, "It records the ins and outs of some things. Giving it to the person from the Guangfa Division will be enough for him to report to the higher-ups.

I will give an explanation to the chief official of the Fuyao County Law Department when I travel to the county town about the follow-up matters. "

Li Zizai took the Ruyi bag and envelope with both hands, nodded, turned around and left, opened the door, came to the outside of the inn, and opened his Dharma Eyes.

I saw the City God radiating red light, and also saw many cultivators performing invisibility techniques.

Looking at each other, the City God and the other cultivators took the lead in bowing: "Little Taoist boy, your greetings are respectful."

"Hello, young friend."

The seventh-rank official in front of the prime minister's door.

Their cultivation is higher than that of the Taoist boy in front of them, but no one dares to neglect him.

Li Zizai grinned. He wanted to hold his head high and accept the full salute, but when he thought of his master's teachings and the fact that he was being stared at, he did not dare to be negligent. He turned sideways and accepted only half of the salute, then immediately returned the salute.

"Junior greets all the seniors."

The other cultivators only accepted half of the greeting. They had a good impression of the polite Taoist boy.

"May I ask who is the Taoist's master?"

"My friend, does that senior have any instructions?"

"I wonder when we can meet you?"

Although many people asked questions, it was not chaotic.

Li Zizai raised his hands slightly, made a gesture to stop talking, and then he cleared his throat and said in a serious manner:
“Master said that we are just passing through here and will leave soon. The matter has been resolved and there is no need to meet.

The master also said..."

In the wing room, Xuanming shook his head and smiled as he listened to Li Zizai's arrogant voice:
"You little brat, you're really good at taking advantage of the situation."

He was not surprised by the arrival of the cultivators.

The master and disciple never concealed their whereabouts, so they could be found out if one was interested.

Believing that his disciple could handle it, Xuanming continued reading the Taoist scriptures without even raising his head.

Outside Yuelai Inn.

He conveyed the master's meaning eloquently.

Li Zizai took out the Ruyi bag and envelope and handed them to the representative of the Guangdong Law Institute together, saving trouble by having to deal with two different people.

Beside him, the City God asked:

"May I ask, Taoist boy, what is the Dharma name of that senior? So that we can know which master has helped the people of Zhaoqiu City."

The representative of the Guangdong Law Department also chimed in, "Yes! If they ask further questions, I can give a reply, right?"

This question had been asked just now, but Li Zizai was too focused on the important matters to answer it in a hurry.

When asked again, he immediately perked up, coughed lightly, straightened his chest, raised his neck like a swan, and said with a bit of arrogance:
"My master is Xuanming Zhenjun of the Qiuzhen Temple in Fuyun Mountain, Fengyang County, and I am his founding disciple, Li Zizai!"

When these words were spoken, all the cultivators were shocked.

A person's name, the shadow of a tree.

Fuyao County is not far from Fengyang County. They had heard of the reputation of Xuanming Zhenjun, but they did not expect that he would come to Zhaoqiu City.

"The arrival of True Lord Xuanming truly brings glory to Zhaoqiu City."

"So it's Master Xuanming. No wonder he can discover the hidden demon king and the great witch."

"Seeing is believing, and doing is believing. The great battle during the day, Master Xuanming really opened our eyes."

……

Li Zizai felt proud of the praise from everyone.

Then he opened his palm towards the representative of the Guangdong Law Department.

"My friend, what does this mean?"

"Senior, please empty the Ruyi Bag."

No one's magic weapon was blown by the wind.

Although the master did not mention it, I have to take it back. A qualified apprentice should learn to share the master's worries.
