The Great Way to Truth, Starting from Jiazi Laodao

Chapter 43: My heart is like a white cloud, always at ease; my mind is like flowing water, going east and west

After returning to their residence from Hutian Palace, many forces became interested in Chang'anzi and Qiuzhen Temple and quickly sent people to inquire about the news.

It can be said that it was accidental that Qiu Zhenguan came up with a Xuan Ye. However, the addition of a Chang'anzi, and Yakui at that, is somewhat intriguing and worth exploring.

There were many people from Fuyun County who came to the county town to join in the fun of the Daoyuan Conference. The major forces each had their own news channels, so they quickly got a lot of information.

After learning that Chang'anzi was Xuan Ye's apprentice, some were surprised, some were envious, some were regretful, some were amazed, and some were angry.

There is no wall that is impenetrable. With someone secretly fanning the flames, Xuanming quickly became famous and was discovered by various forces. The waves he caused were no less than that of Chang'anzi.

His life experience and military achievements shocked and even amazed many people.

Fifty-five year old fool.

A representative of late bloomers.

A devout seeker.

If you don't fly, you won't fly. Once you do, you will soar into the sky.

The two most important points that caused the biggest waves are:

This old Taoist has been practicing Taoism for only two years, but he has soared from a mortal to the perfection of practicing essence, and has even reached the threshold of practicing qi. Even with the accumulation of the first five years, it still makes practitioners who have been practicing for ten, ten or even dozens of years feel guilty, ashamed and jealous.

What's even more terrifying is that he actually got the title of the number one person in the Qi training realm in Fengyang County. More than three months ago, he killed Old Man Chen, who was half a step into Qi training, with a sword, and yesterday he defeated Chu Yunfei, who was invincible with one punch. This caused an uproar in the hearts of the cultivators in the Jing training realm.

No one expected that this old man would be so terrifying!
Some people didn't believe it, some were shocked, some were curious, some were jealous, some wanted to fight, and some were afraid.

Some people think it is an exaggeration, some people think it is a fairy tale, some people are indignant about being suppressed by an unknown old man, and some people think that there is no need for an old cow nose with half of its body buried in the ground to occupy the fame.

Taoism emphasizes purity.

This old Taoist is too unclean.

Tonight, Xuanming and Chang'anzi both became famous.

When the news reached Xianlin Pavilion, although the various Taoist sects were surprised, their reactions were calmer than those of the outside world. This is very common in Taoism. There are many Taoists who sweep the streets, chop wood, farm, and are sloppy, etc., who seem ordinary and even inconspicuous, but are actually very talented.

Taoist Jingge was one of them.

Although Taoist Xuanming's strength is impressive, his tactics are very old.

When the people from Qiuzhen Temple learned about this, they were shocked and felt mixed emotions of joy and sorrow.

Joy is the strength of Senior Brother Xuanming (Uncle Master).

The worry was that he might get hurt. After all, Chu Yunfei was an extraordinary person, and it would probably take a lot of effort for Senior Brother Xuanming (Uncle Master) to defeat him.

Of course, Xuanyang and Xuanxu are exceptions.

They knew Brother Xuanming's true cultivation level, and compared to others, they were more worried about another thing.

People are afraid of becoming famous just like pigs are afraid of getting fat. Brother Xuanming and Chang'anzi both became famous overnight, which easily attracted jealousy and challenges.

Changanzi is fine.

The Tiandiyuan in the county town is temporarily protecting him.

After returning to the sect, I was protected by my senior brothers.

But what about Senior Brother Xuanming?

He likes quietness and hates trouble.

It is very likely that he will be impatient with everyone's challenges and directly show his cards, revealing his strength in the Qi training realm. Although this can solve the current trouble, another trouble will follow.

Why did he become a real person in just two years?

This will cause a bigger stir.

There will be endless curious people, explorers, and speculators, and there is no guarantee that some powerful Qigong practitioners will take the risk and explore Floating Cloud Mountain at night.

By then, the fact that Qiuzhen Temple possesses a superior foundation-building method will most likely no longer be concealed.

The higher the quality of the foundation of the Tao, the farther the Tao will be.

The superior foundation of Taoism is more related to the training of spirit.

I'm afraid that many Qi training masters will be unable to sit still.

The troubles of the Truth Seeking Sect will be even greater. Moreover, Xuanxu always felt that things were fermenting too quickly, which was a little abnormal, as if there was a hand behind the scenes manipulating it.

After the two Taoists discussed, Xuan Yang decided to return to Qiuzhen early tomorrow morning to take a look.

Xuanxu was also afraid that Chang'an Zi would be worried about Senior Brother Xuanming, which would affect his subsequent performance, so he went to comfort him.

Fortunately, Chang'anzi had a good attitude and knew that worrying was useless. Only if he stood out in the Daoyuan Conference and was outstanding enough to be taken seriously by Tiandi Academy, could he be worthy of the teachings of Senior Brother Xuanming, not drag him down, and even give back to his master, so that Qiuzhen Temple could be protected by Tiandi Academy.

Influenced by Chang'anzi's drive and open-mindedness, Xuanxu's worries were relieved a lot. He walked out of the room, looked up at the bright moon, and his heart gradually calmed down.

The heart is like white clouds, always free; the mind is like flowing water, going east and west. Things have come to this point, and there is no point in being anxious.

Instead of doing this, it is better to let it go and accept it generously. Perhaps this is also an opportunity.

What's more, Senior Brother Xuanming is very shrewd.

Xuanxu believed that he could solve the problem and he just needed to cooperate fully.

I also believe that Xuan Yang can bring back good news.

Fengyang County, north of the city.

In an ordinary house.

There were two figures, one sitting and one standing.

One of them was an unclear figure, shrouded in fog; the other was a hunchbacked old man wearing sackcloth clothes.

The latter replied respectfully:
"My Lord, I have spread the news as you ordered. I think that Taoist Xuanming is as famous as Chang'anzi in the county. I think it won't be long before someone comes to challenge him."

The old man sighed, "It's a pity that Chu Dong is too strong. He killed two assassins from Fuyi Tower by himself, and Chu Yunfei is still alive. It was my negligence. Please punish me, my lord."

The old man knelt down and asked:

"Fuyi Tower has always been a fight to the death. If the master wants to continue to kill Chu Yunfei, I will contact Fuyi Tower now. I believe they will take action soon and will definitely help the master get what he wants."

The man in the fog remained silent.

The quieter it was, the more frightened the old man became. He bent over the ground, his body shaking slightly.

After an unknown amount of time, a voice came from the fog. The tone was flat, and the voice was neither sinister nor hoarse. It was completely featureless and ordinary, but it made the old man tremble.

"Forget it! After this incident, Chu Yunfei will definitely be well protected by the Chu family. Since he came back alive, there is no point in killing him again. On the contrary, it is easy to alert the enemy."

"Tomorrow you will clear all traces, move to the south of the city, and settle down in a new place, so that they won't be able to find this place by following the clues."

The old man bowed and said yes.

"I will contact Fuyilou and revoke the killing order against Chu Yunfei."

At this time, the man in the fog spoke again.

"No need to cancel it, just change the target and kill Taoist Xuanming and Chang'anzi of Qiuzhen Temple."

"Being able to defeat Chu Yunfei, I suspect that Qiuzhen Temple has another inheritance. It is very likely that old Xuanming has built a superior foundation for Taoism, and Changanzi is a disciple of Xuanye. I will not be at peace until the two of them are dead."

"Once the past is revealed, you and I will be in danger."

"Let Fuyilou kill old man Xuanming as soon as possible. I hope to hear the news of his death as soon as possible."

The old man took the order and asked:
"Does it still need praise and killing?"

The man in the fog said, "Of course it is necessary."

"To kill him openly and assassinate him secretly is the only way to ensure that there is no risk of error. Let this old Taoist accompany Xuan Ye as soon as possible."

The old man understood.

"I will definitely share your worries, my lord."

Pooh!
After the man in the fog left, the old man spat thick phlegm on the wooden chair the man was sitting on, then waved his sleeves to make a fire and burned the chair, showing great disgust.

Then he walked out of the courtyard and quickly turned to another house, bowed to the woman in plain clothes who was weaving and said:
"Your Highness, both fish have taken the bait."

　The ending of Chapter 39, Chapter 40 and Chapter 42 have been revised. I haven’t finished writing the articles these two days because of the noise from the renovation upstairs. Many of them are different from what I wanted, but I was in a hurry to post them. In the future, I will focus more on the quality of the articles.
