Chapter 554: Don’t cultivate the heart of heaven, cultivate the heart of man

Zhang Qingyu was urgently recalled by a sudden order from Zhang Chongyuan, the great master of Longhu Mountain.

After receiving the order, Zhang Qingyu did not dare to delay for a moment, and immediately set off to rush back to Guixi County where the gate of Longhu Mountain is located.

Along the way, Zhang Qingyu had already thought through the reasons behind this edict.

Calling yourself back to the mountain at this time is nothing more than accountability.

Guangxin Prefecture has five counties under its jurisdiction. Now, except for Guixi and Yiyang, the Taoist palaces in the other three counties have been attacked by Li Jun and others.

Although the damage caused to Longhushan was not even a scrape of oily skin, these three slaps were a real slap on Zhang Chongyuan's face.

Even the important matter of assisting 'Zhang Tianshi' to join the Tao was put aside for the time being, and he went out to take command in person. All major departments of the Tianshi Mansion cooperated with each other, and all the elites of the Nine Dragon and Tiger Divisions were dispatched. There were also two Tianshis of the 'Xi' generation who were with them. Although he was plundering the formation, he still only got such a bleak situation of being led by the nose. Zhang Chongyuan was really disgraced.

Looking at the overall situation, today's Guangxin Mansion is in a critical period of transition from a 'Confucian official' to a 'Taoist official'. Taoist temples in various counties have been attacked one after another, causing heavy casualties, and the believers within the jurisdiction are even more panic-stricken.

Although there is no obvious turmoil yet, the situation has undoubtedly reached a critical point. If even Yiyang, the last county except Longhushan Gate, is attacked, it will be a heavy blow to Longhushan's prestige and rule. of blow.

Therefore, Zhang Qingyu expected that Zhang Chongyuan would look for him, and even issued the order a little later than he expected.

According to Zhang Qingyu's own estimation, Zhang Chongyuan should have challenged himself and held him accountable when Yongfeng was attacked.

However, although the edict was several days late, it still came.

"Next, it's time to give an explanation to the sect."

Zhang Qingyu thought of this.

Longhu Mountain Tianshi Mansion, Tiju Office.

As soon as Zhang Qingyu entered the hall, he saw the projection of the entire Guangxin Mansion map floating in the middle of the hall, with every detail of the city walls, buildings, mountains, rivers, vegetation and trees clearly visible.

Among them, Shangrao, Yushan, and Yongfeng counties were shrouded in red light, and a palm-sized picture next to them showed the dilapidated scene of the local Taoist palace. The surviving Taoist officials were leading the Yellow Turban Hercules to seize the time to rebuild.

The severity of the situation is clear at a glance.

"Reporting to the Great Heavenly Master, the reconstruction work of the Taoist palaces in the three counties has now been fully launched. Forty-two mages from the Fazhuan Bureau have led a thousand low-level yellow scarf warriors to various locations. The reconstruction task should be completed within three days."

Under the projection, Zhang Qingli, the Supervisor of the Seal and Seal Bureau, is wearing a purple robe with wide sleeves and a round collar. He looks like he is in his early twenties, but there are three deep wrinkles on his forehead, which are obviously caused by too much thinking.

"The progress of Yongfeng and Shangrao can be postponed, but the reconstruction of Yushan Taoist Palace must be completed within tomorrow."

A hollow and majestic sound floated down from high above.

Zhang Chongyuan sat cross-legged on a purple and gold futon, surrounded by clouds and mist, making it difficult to see his face clearly.

Why should we focus solely on the reconstruction of Yushan County?

The reason is simple. The various Huangliang Dreams produced in Yushan County are one of the important sources of income for Longhu Mountain.

"I sincerely follow the instructions of the Great Heavenly Master. However, the three days mentioned before by my disciple only refer to the reconstruction and restoration of the buildings on the ground."

Zhang Qingli frowned and said blankly: "This time, Yushan County was severely damaged, especially the thunderbolt from the 'Greedy Wolf' which destroyed the Huangliang mainframe core 'Zhen Tan Mu' located deep underground in the Dao Palace. Falling apart, a large number of sold Huangliang dreams lost their host support and could no longer be connected and entered. As a result, many dreams that were being constructed collapsed and sank into the deep sea."

"What I want is the result, not listening to you talk about problems here."

There was a touch of anger in Zhang Chongyuan's voice.

"The result is that it will take some time for Yushan County to resume its previous production. The specific time required will be determined based on the repair progress of the 'Zhen Tan Wood'."

"This matter cannot be delayed. A new core will be deployed from Tianshi Mansion."

"The Huangliang main engine under the Yushan Taoist Palace is a rare third-grade auxiliary top-level Taoist weapon. The number of the entire Longhu Mountain is no more than one hand. At present, the remaining ones have been transferred to the Zushi Hall by 'Zhang Tianshi' to assist the Taoist. Only One is still left in the Ten Thousand Fa Sect Altar."

"Just tune this one."

Zhang Qingli said calmly: "The Huangliang host in the Wanfa Zongtan is used to ensure the stability of the Dragon Tiger Cave and maintain the passage for the disciples of the Shanmen Dao to escape. Disciples are not recommended to move it."

The two people were talking up and down the steps, and Zhang Qingyu, who was standing by the door of the hall, was ignored.

"According to what you say, we can only watch Yushan County come to a standstill?!"

"This is the current situation. The loss is unavoidable. All the Dharma and Seal Bureau can do is try its best to repair the damaged 'tan wood'."

There was silence in the hall for a moment, but suddenly there was a muffled thud in front of the door.

Zhang Qingli turned around after hearing the sound and saw Zhang Qingyu, the Supervisor of the Xuantan Hall, kneeling on his knees, looking ashamed and turning pale.

The young Taoist curled his lips without trace, turned around and saluted the figure on the steps.

"Great Heavenly Master, time is pressing, so this disciple will leave first."

"Go on, you guys have been working hard at the Dazhuan Bureau during this period." Zhang Chongyuan's voice contained a rare softness.

"I will obey the Heavenly Master's decree."

Zhang Qingli straightened up and walked towards the door.

The moment he passed by Zhang Qingyu, the Xuantan Palace Supervisor who was kneeling on the ground said in a low voice: "Junior Brother Qingli."

Boom!

A loud chime sound suddenly sounded, Zhang Qingyu's whole body trembled suddenly, and he couldn't help but tighten his mouth.

"Did you hear clearly what Qingli said just now?"

An indifferent voice that was completely opposite to before sounded in Zhang Qingyu's ears.

"It's my disciple's inability to do things well. Please be punished by the Lord of Heaven."

Zhang Qingyu screamed and grabbed the ground with his head.

"Zhang Qingyu, I ask you again, do you know who died in Yushan?" Zhang Chongyuan asked.

"I know, Master Zhang Xishou."

"When this Heavenly Lord first entered the Tao, Master Xishou was already one of the supervisors of this Heavenly Master's Mansion, and had made countless contributions to Longhu Mountain. Even though he was seriously injured in the 'World's Distribution of Martial Arts' and fell into After the five declines of heaven and man, he still resolutely gave up on retiring and extending his life, returning the authority in his hands to the sect, sealing up his own Taoist foundation, and willing to become the sect's heritage. "

Xia mist surged on the towering jade steps, and a purple robe floated down.

Zhang Chongyuan stared down at Zhang Qingyu who was kneeling on the ground, and said angrily: "Such a great heavenly master with outstanding merits has died in Yushan County because of your mistakes. What crime do you deserve?"

"This disciple deserves to fall into Fengdu and suffer the pain of reincarnation for eternity."

Zhang Qingyu suddenly raised his head and said in a trembling voice: "The strategy of dividing the troops for garrisoning is decided by Master Xishou. My disciple once tried to dissuade him, but I was incompetent."

Zhang Qingyu hesitated to speak, but finally took the blame on himself.

But just after he finished these words, the corner of his eye glanced at a spherical Dharma Eye suspended in mid-air.

Zhang Qingyu knew clearly that the scene of his conversation with Zhang Chongyuan was being uploaded into the Dragon Tiger Cave.

I don’t know how many people are watching Manshan Tao Xu.

In fact, the order to divide the troops and garrison them was personally issued by the Great Heavenly Master Zhang Chongyuan.

The two people standing and kneeling at this moment knew this very well.

But now that the three counties have been attacked separately, someone has to take responsibility.

There is no doubt that Zhang Xishou, who is already dead, is the best choice.

Zhang Chongyuan suddenly sighed and said in a slower tone: "Actually, this matter cannot be blamed on you alone. It was me who underestimated the viciousness and cunningness of those evil spirits, and the main responsibility lies with me."

"It's the disciple's fault. I just hope that the Heavenly Lord can give me another chance. This time I will rectify the evil spirit on the spot. If I can't, I will be willing to disperse!"

Snapped.

A soft sound was mixed into the endless vows.

The eyes of Dharma Eyes suspended in mid-air slowly closed.

"What on earth is going on in Yushan County?"

Zhang Chongyuan climbed up the steps again, his steps suddenly stopped, his phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, he turned around and asked coldly.

"Li Jun has refined his internal energy and is able to completely block his energy, making it impossible for the stars in the sky to lock onto him."

Zhang Qingyu stood up from the ground and replied softly: "Master Xishou asked me to activate the 'Greedy Wolf' to carry out a covering strike, but he was determined to sacrifice himself and delay Li Jun near the Yushan Taoist Palace."

The Heavenly Master returned to the purple and gold futon and was silent for a moment before speaking: "How could you miss it?"

"Master Xishou has been sealed for too long, and his strength has seriously degraded. And since his spiritual thoughts cannot be locked, he has no choice but to choose to fight Li Jun in close combat. Before the 'Greedy Wolf' has finished gathering his momentum, he Already died in Li Jun's hands."

"Li Jun."

Zhang Chongyuan bit the name, with murderous intent in his brows.

"A thunderbolt failed to kill the evil demon. Instead, it shattered a third-grade Huangliang host and knocked out the 60th-ranked Earth Immortal seat in the White Jade Capital Immortal Class in the hands of this Heavenly Lord. It is truly so powerful!"

The Four Dao are easy to obtain, but Earth Immortals are scarce.

If Huangliang Cave Heaven is the best dojo for Tao Xu practice, then the seats in the Immortal Class are the best aid to speed up the practice.

In the entire Baiyujing, there are only a hundred seats for Earth Immortals.

Once there was a replacement position, all parties in Daoxu sent people into the Japanese area to compete for it.

Now, in order to smoothly mobilize the 'Greedy Wolf', Zhang Chongyuan gave away the 60th-ranked Earth Immortal seat, and the price he paid was not small.

"Judging from the pictures sent back by Master Xishou, although Li Jun is still stuck in the fourth sequence, he has at least tempered three martial arts. And judging from the strength he showed, he has not tempered the three martial arts at the same time. The martial arts order of the sect is comparable to that.”

Zhang Qingyu paused and said in a deep voice: "Li Jun is probably now comparable to the ordinary sequence three in the main battle sequence."

"Shoulder to shoulder?"

Zhang Chongyuan said contemptuously: "Even the real Wu Sanxiong Lord, Longhu Mountain has killed him."

"So I believe that the most difficult problem now is how to change our situation of being passively beaten and dig them out from the boundaries of Guangxin Mansion."

Zhang Qingyu said slowly: "The disciples suspect that they carry creations that can hide their location. Therefore, the ordinary stars in the sky cannot be penetrated at all, so we can only use the 'South Dou Tianji'."

"A 'Big Dipper Greedy Wolf' requires me to exchange for an Earth Immortal Seat. What do you think the price will be if I apply to use the 'South Dipper Secret' at this time?"

Zhang Chongyuan sneered and said: "The people in Bai Yujing can't do anything to help someone in times of trouble, but they are good at adding insult to injury. If you show weakness to them, you will only get a large piece of flesh torn off."

Zhang Qingyu tentatively said: "Master Zhang, he has the seat of the 'A Heavenly Immortal' and can directly mobilize any stars in the sky."

"Similarly surrounded by a pack of wolves."

Zhang Chongyuan shook his head: "And now Tianshi Zhang is at a critical moment of harmony with the Dao, and the authority in his hands cannot be moved at all."

"Then we can only find a way to start from other places." Zhang Qingyu sighed.

"This is why this Tianjun gave the matter to you, Qingyu."

Zhang Chongyuan lowered his eyes and said softly: "There are many Taoists with the surname 'Zhang' in Tianshi Mansion, but in terms of being smart and capable, no one can catch up with you. When you were promoted to the supervisor of Xuantan Hall, it was this Tianjun who supported you with all his strength."

"The kindness of the great Tianshi, the disciple has always remembered it in his heart." Zhang Qingyu clasped his fists and bowed.

"There is no sun or moon in the mountains, and in a blink of an eye, even you are standing at the threshold of promotion to the third rank."

Zhang Chongyuan seemed to suddenly remember something and asked, "By the way, Qingyu, what position do you hold among the earthly immortals in Baiyujing now?"

Zhang Qingyu respectfully replied, "To answer the Great Heavenly Master, the 43rd place in the earthly immortals."

"This position is too low. To complete the ritual requirements of the three thousand years of reincarnation training time limit, it will take nearly 130 years in the present world."

Zhang Qingyu bowed his body and buried his head, quietly waiting for the next words.

"Get this done, and this Heavenly Lord will help you move your seat forward. If you enter the top 30, your chances of achieving the third rank will be much greater."

"Thank you, Great Heavenly Master!"

Zhang Qingyu's breathing suddenly became rapid, as if he couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart.

"Qingxi's death is an accident that I didn't expect, and it may also be destined by heaven."

On the purple gold cushion, Zhang Chongyuan's expression was slightly bleak, and he no longer called himself the lofty "Heavenly Lord".

"If Zhang Tianshi can't find the way to 'harmony with the Tao', then sooner or later I will also face the result of being sealed."

"Chongyuan Tianshi."

Zhang Qingyu couldn't help but exclaimed, but was interrupted by the person on the stage.

"The order of Tao is to enter the Tao, cultivate the Tao, harmonize with the Tao, and obtain the Tao. If any step is missing, the final outcome will be scattered Tao."

Zhang Chongyuan said softly: "Raising a son to prevent old age is a saying of mortals in the secular world, and it should not exist in the immortal family. But the immortal road is unpredictable. On the day when the foundation of Taoism declines, I also need someone to protect me. Qingyu, are you willing to become my son of Tao?"

Zhang Qingyu clenched his teeth, his expression was about to cry.

But whether he was really happy or sad in his heart, I am afraid only he himself knows.

"Disciple is willing to protect the immortal king for longevity."

"That's enough!"

Zhang Chongyuan laughed and waved his sleeves and said: "Retreat."

Outside the office, the sky was gloomy, and it seemed that a thunderstorm was about to fall.

After leaving the main hall, Zhang Qingyu did not rush to fly down the Shanshan Mountain, but walked along the stone path in the mountains, heading towards the Xuantan Hall.

The development of the situation was smoother than he expected. Now that the chips were on the table, what he had to do next was to win this game.

"Meet the abbot."

The Taoist priests who came and went saw Zhang Qingyu and stepped aside to make way, bowing and saluting.

What surprised them was that the abbot, who was usually serious, was smiling today and nodded in return for the first time.

The carriage went straight into the depths of the Xuantan Hall, and Zhang Qingyu returned to his residence. At the moment when the door was closed, his sight suddenly darkened.

When his sight was brightened again, Zhang Qingyu was already in an ancient city full of people, with lights and decorations on both sides of the long street, and a bustling and prosperous scene was everywhere.

Zhang Qingyu stood under the eaves of a corner, looking at the crowd not far away. A juggler was performing his special skills, which attracted exclamations from the people around him. Outside the crowd, there was a fortune-telling stall that no one cared about. A sloppy man who was so burly that he didn't look like a Taoist monk was tilting his head and watching the excitement happily.

"Master."

Zhang Qingyu sat down on the bench in front of the stall, stretched out his hands, and asked with a smile: "Can you tell me a fortune?"
