The Great Way to Truth, Starting from Jiazi Laodao

Chapter 63: The Concept of the Qiyun Heavy Equipment

Go to the temple, under the pine tree.

The Taoists first mentioned the assassination in Fuyi Tower.

Fuyi Tower is a huge behemoth that dominates several counties, with many assassins and great strength.

Even Qi-cultivating masters as strong as those in the Holy Embryo Realm have been stabbed to death. Even though the Qiuzhen Temple is no longer what it used to be, with two real people in charge, it is still not enough in front of the Fuyi Tower.

What's more, the Fuyilou killer has appeared three times.

One was to kill Chu Yunfei, causing the Qiuzhen Temple to become enemies with the Chu family; one was to assassinate Senior Brother Xuanming, and one was to assassinate Chang'anzi. They had no choice but to be vigilant.

The key to solving this problem lies in Wang Sheng.

"Junior Brother Xuantong, I wonder how the Chu family is progressing in dealing with Wang Sheng?"

Xuanxu asked.

Xuanming also looked over.

Although Qiuzhen Temple had established a relationship with the Chu family because of him, he was too impatient to deal with these trivial matters and dealings, so he handed the matter over to Xuantong, who was good at this.

Xuanming was also curious about how far the feud between Chu and Wang Sheng had progressed.

Glancing at Chang'anzi inconspicuously, Xuantong replied, "The Chu family just sent us a message yesterday. The Wang family has already noticed something and has been confining Wang Sheng at home for some time.

Fortunately, Chu had some connections in the Guangfa Division and some contacts in the Tiandi Court, and had obtained some evidence. Although he could not kill Wang Sheng for the time being, it would not be a problem to eliminate his wings and followers.

When the time comes, the upper echelons of the Guangfa Division will be alerted and a thorough investigation will be conducted. Even if the Wang family protects him and Wang Sheng is not in danger of losing his life, he will still become infamous and lose his position as the law enforcement priest of the Guangfa Division. He will be criticized by the world, and the Wang family's reputation will also be damaged. This will be considered as a benefit for the Chu family and my Qiuzhen Temple."

All the Taoists nodded when they heard this.

Although they are outsiders, they are also aware that aristocratic families value fame and fortune, and sometimes fame is more important than fortune.

Once this is done, Wang Sheng will definitely be punished by the Wang family, and will be ruined and infamous in Fengyang County. This will be much more satisfying than killing him directly. At that time, in order to avoid further criticism, the Wang family will also order him to revoke the killing order of Fuyi Tower.

"Let's do this for now. There is a long time to come. There is no rush to kill the enemy. Good and evil will be rewarded in the end. There will always be a chance."

Xuanming set the tone for this matter.

Everyone turned to the next topic.

---

Xuanxu: "There was something strange about the dragon snake yesterday."

Xuan Yin: "Brother, what you said makes sense. I thought hard last night after I went back home. I always feel that there must be someone behind the dragon snake controlling it or someone is cooperating with it, and wants to use this to kidnap Chang Anzi."

Xuantong: "From what I have seen, the dragon snake was probably sent by someone to steal the superior foundation-building method. The person behind this is very cunning and must be guarded against."

Xuan Yang: "It's a pity that Senior Brother Xuan Ming acted too quickly. Otherwise, I could have questioned him. He's already so old. Ouch!"

Before Xuan Yang could finish his words, he covered his forehead and wailed, grimacing in pain.

Putting down the whisk he had used to hit the man, Xuanming rolled his eyes in annoyance and said, "That's enough! I didn't use much strength."

Xuan Yang chuckled, thanked Xuan Ming for showing mercy, and immediately sat down obediently, not speaking easily as he was afraid of getting a beating.

"Your guess is the same as mine. Although the dragon snake is dead, the truth cannot be found out for the time being. But if you want to keep it a secret, you must not do it yourself. I will give Chang'anzi some self-defense methods. As long as the person behind this dares to make another move, I will be able to get some clues."

Xuanming soothed.

The Taoists were convinced of this senior brother, and they felt relieved to know that he was making plans for Chang'anzi.

Chang Qingzi and other four generations of Taoists looked at Chang Anzi with envy. Although their master had passed away, Uncle Xuanming had made plans for him, so his future Taoist path would be brighter than those of them who had their own masters to teach them.

"In fact, my Qiuzhen Temple has some grudges against that dragon snake. The water-walking dragon is its father."

Seeing that his fellow disciples were relieved, Xuanming thought for a moment and told them the origin of the dragon snake and how he had once killed a snake demon that had split the dragon's soul and taken over its body, so that they could be mentally prepared.

Although they were surprised, the Taoists accepted it quickly, both because the fact was already set and the dragon had been suppressed, and it was unknown when the seal would be broken, and because they felt that their senior brother was doing the right thing.

Killing demons and protecting the people is the true nature of Taoists.

Xuanxu bowed his head and said solemnly: "The dragon swept the water, submerging countless fertile fields, causing many people to be displaced, corpses everywhere, and heavy casualties. This monster is extremely sinful and has committed many evil deeds.

If it weren't for my brother's timely action to kill the snake demon, the dragon would have succeeded, and with the help of the internal and external forces, it would have broken the seal and caused even greater disasters. My brother's actions saved countless lives and have done immeasurable merits."

The other Taoists also stood up and bowed.

"I just happened to meet him that day. If it were you, my fellow disciples, you would have taken action without hesitation."

Xuanming returned the greeting.

Even so, the Taoists understood that they did not have the ability of Senior Brother, and even if they met him, they would probably not recognize him. After everyone sat down, Xuanyin took out an invitation and introduced: "During Senior Brother Xuanxu's retreat, Sanhuan Zhenren visited and personally sent an invitation to me, inviting me to attend the opening ceremony of Yuhuan Sect next year."

This is a good thing.

None of the Taoists objected.

The wind blows on the treetops and the old pines sway slightly.

Xuanming spread out his palms, and two extremely condensed spheres, one large and one small, moved along mysterious trajectories, with yin and yang flowing, life and death intertwined, and an extraordinary atmosphere.

"Brother, this is... Chen's pair of Yin-Yang iron."

Xuan Yang's eyes lit up as he asked tentatively.

He was in charge of weapon refining at the Qiuzhen Temple and had a keen eye. Although the appearance of the Chen family golden knife had changed drastically, not only had it returned to its original state, but it had also been concentrated and purified, with great spiritual power, containing the power of thunder and lightning as well as the rhythm of yin and yang, he could still see a familiar trace, but he was not sure because the change was too great.

"Junior brother has a keen eye."

Xuanming admitted it.

Xuan Yang grinned foolishly when he was praised.

The other Taoists were greatly surprised and looked at the pair of iron beads in disbelief. They had all seen the golden sword that had been passed down in the Chen family for a hundred years, but none of them had such a powerful spiritual power.

They thought it was some other treasure from heaven and earth, but they didn't expect it to be this thing. If Xuan Yang hadn't pointed it out, they really wouldn't have dared to recognize it.

In just a few months, this precious material was transformed. The Taoists admired Brother Xuanming's methods even more.

"Brother, what do you want to do by taking this out?"

Xuanxu asked doubtfully.

Without hiding anything, Xuanming revealed his plan.

"When luck is gone, gold becomes like iron; when luck is good, iron becomes like gold. One qi gives birth to all things. Everything in heaven and earth has qi. More qi becomes luck. Gathering luck brings blessings. Dispersing luck brings disasters. Mountains and rivers have qi, plants and trees have qi, and animals have qi.

My Qiuzhen Temple has been established for more than 150 years. Together with the Floating Cloud Mountain under my feet, the luck and fortune gathered can only support one or two Qigong practitioners. That dragon snake is already a stray dog, its luck has no roots, and after it was killed, its luck flowed into my Qiuzhen Temple.

The old Taoist suppresses his luck with his body, and his luck will not be lost if he seeks truth. But I can't stay in the mountains forever. Sooner or later I will go into the secular world to practice. If it lasts more than a day, my luck will be unstable.

Besides, the promotion of my Qiuzhen Temple to a major sect is a foregone conclusion, but I still lack a treasure that can protect the mountain and suppress its luck. Although the inherited magic sword is good, the sword is a sharp weapon and is slightly insufficient to suppress luck.

It is fine if you don’t get promoted to a major position, but once you get promoted, the disadvantages will become more apparent and increase day by day.”

Looking around at the crowd, Xuanming continued:

"I want to refine a spiritual weapon for my master to suppress the luck of the people on Floating Cloud Mountain. Although this Yin-Yang Iron is enough to refine a spiritual weapon, its ability to suppress luck is relatively weak. If I want to refine it into a powerful weapon, I still need the help of several junior brothers."

Since this matter concerned the inheritance of Qiuzhen Temple, Xuanxu and others looked serious, stood up in unison and saluted respectfully.

"I am willing to obey Brother's orders."

Xuanming didn't hesitate and told us what was needed.

Because the materials cannot be collected overnight, and it requires the joint efforts of all the Taoists, and Xuanming said there is no rush, the Taoists did not do it immediately.

Good things are hard to come by.

This matter does require enough patience.

The material itself is not precious, but the thought behind it is precious.

---

After finishing the work.

Everyone relaxed and started reminiscing about the past.

Or chat about everything under the sun, or exchange ideas.

Or ask for advice on spiritual practice, or drink tea and play chess.

The Wendao Courtyard is full of leisure.

It was a rare opportunity for Xuanming not to read the scriptures and gain enlightenment, and relax his body and mind.

In the evening, all the Taoists left. Xuanming left behind Chang'anzi. Xuanxu and others looked at each other and guessed their senior brother's purpose.
