Chapter 150 I Understood
Inside the Golden Light Cave and on the Wen Dao Platform, there were still surging rays of light and lingering purple mist, but the atmosphere was no longer as calm and peaceful as before, and it suddenly became tense.
Luo Xuan did not hide anything at all. He stared at Li Anran with a sarcastic and provocative smile on his face.
Li Anran looked up in surprise, not understanding why Luo Xuan dared to make trouble here.
Putting aside the agreement between Taiyi Zhenren and Wu Dang Shengmu, just the fact that he caused trouble at the Xian Tea Conference hosted by Taiyi Zhenren was already an embarrassment to Taiyi Zhenren.
Li Anran glanced forward and saw that Taiyi Zhenren's face had darkened.
But, when he looked at the Holy Mother Wu Dang.
But I saw that the Holy Mother Wu Dang lowered her head and sipped her tea quietly, as if she didn't hear anything at all.
Um?
Li Anran's eyes fixed.
The reaction of the Holy Mother Wu Dang was obviously abnormal!
Li Anran thought of the only possibility -
Was it the Holy Mother Wu Dang who asked Luo Xuan to jump out and cause trouble?
"Brother Luo Xuan, who are you talking about? How could he have such a high level of understanding?"
"I don't think it's comprehension, maybe it's acting! The great Dao is invisible and encompasses everything. What the Taoist brothers have said is so profound that it's very difficult to remember it all. Who can understand it all?"
"Yes! This is clearly someone pretending to be famous and gaining money. Such flattering means are really surprising!"
…
Some Jiejiao disciples who were on good terms with Luo Xuan joined in the discussion and spoke loudly.
Although they did not mention any names, their eyes were fixed on Li Anran, meaning not to be too obvious.
As for the disciples of the Human and Chan sects standing beside their elders, most of them had an expression of gloating as they watched the fun.
Although they have no hatred or grudge against Li Anran.
However, Li Anran first received an invitation from Taiyi Tianzun to participate in the Xianmei Conference, and then he suddenly realized the Nine Dragon Formation in the Jinguan Cave, which made Taiyi Tianzun appreciate him and take him as a disciple, and he became the center of attention.
These orthodox Xuanmen people have long disliked Li Anran and are hoping that he will get into trouble soon!
Luo Xuan's attack at this time was exactly what they wanted.
The second generation disciples of Jiejiao just sat there until their disciples finished yelling with Luo Xuan, then they scolded him hypocritically: "Evil creature! What nonsense are you talking about! You have no right to speak here!"
He also apologized to Taoist Taiyi: "Brother Taiyi, we didn't discipline them strictly enough, and let these evildoers not know their place and talk nonsense here. Please forgive me! When I return, I will punish them severely!"
Their scolding and apology directly caught Taiyi Zhenren.
Nezha, however, had no such scruples. He stood up in a flash, pointed at the disciples of the third generation of Jiejiao, and shouted, "Stop singing along! This is the Xianming Fair, not a place for mortal performances and singing!"
Then he pointed at Luo Xuan and said, "Luo Xuan, if you want to avenge Qiu Yin, just say it openly! Stop being so sarcastic! Just because you can't do it yourself, do you think others can't do it either? That's really ridiculous!"
"Nezha! Stop slandering me!"
Luo Xuan stared and said, "Is it not okay for me to just tell you what I saw?"
“I just told what I saw.”
Nezha squinted his eyes, glanced at the disciples of Jiejiao, and snorted coldly, with a look of extreme contempt: "A clown!"
"Nezha! How dare you be so presumptuous! Are you taking advantage of the fact that there is no one in Jie Sect?"
The disciples of Jiejiao were furious.
Some with bad tempers even slammed the table, jumped up, and pretended to fight with Nezha.
The scene suddenly became chaotic.
Li Anran watched all this coldly.
Seeing that the powerful Jiejiao figures who had the say, such as Wu Dang Holy Mother and Jin Ling Holy Mother, were sitting firmly in their chairs and had no intention of stopping him, he immediately understood.
"The Jiejiao sect is determined to cut ties with the Xuanmen sect!"
Disaster is closely related to cause and effect!
People and forces that are more deeply entangled in cause and effect will often face greater disasters in catastrophes!
The greater the power and the stronger the strength, the more causes and consequences will be involved!
From the original three tribes of dragon, phoenix and unicorn, the two tribes of wizards and liches, to the two religions of Chan and Jie, all are like this!
Therefore, the gods and Buddhas of the three realms all believed that this catastrophe should have occurred between the Xuanmen and the Buddhist sects or between the Heaven and Lingshan!
Jiejiao is a part of Xuanmen, but not entirely a part of Xuanmen.
Almost all the disciples of Jiejiao died or were injured in the catastrophe of Conferred Gods, and their Taoist lineage was almost cut off. However, Renjiao and Chanjiao, representing the Xuanmen, flourished after the catastrophe and prospered for nearly ten thousand years.
Now that the Investiture of the Gods has been broken, although the disciples of Jiejiao have regained their freedom, most of them have chosen to reincarnate and start practicing again.
In this way, the Jie Religion and its disciples will be less affected by the karma.
Naturally, Holy Mother Wu Dang did not want the Jie Religion to be involved in this catastrophe, and was unwilling to stand together with the Xuanmen represented by the Chan and Ren Religions!
That's why they allowed Luo Xuan to cause trouble here!
There are many people who realize this.
Taishang Laojun, Nanji Xianweng, Daoxing Tianzun, Qingxu Daode Zhenjun...
The disciples of the Chan and Ren sects put down the tea in their hands, some looked helpless, some frowned, and some looked unhappy, with different thoughts in their minds.
As for the second generation disciples of Jiejiao, such as the Golden Spirit Mother, Sanxiao, Zhao Gongming, etc., all had sneers on their faces and looked at the chaotic scene with cold eyes.
In the more than ten thousand years since the Conferred Gods , the more prosperous the Xuanmen has become, the heavier the resentment they have held in their hearts has become.
If it weren't for the pressure from the Holy Mother Wudang, they would have settled the score with the Chan Sect long ago and would not have dragged it on until today!
Seeing the chaotic scene, Taishang Laojun stood up and said, "My fellow Taoists, today is the Immortal Tea Conference. We are here to taste tea and discuss Taoism. This is a refined thing. Why do we have to argue endlessly and hurt the harmony?"
His voice was not loud, but it suppressed all the quarrels and had a magical effect, like drizzle and breeze, dispersing some of the hostility and anger in everyone's hearts.
"Nezha, don't retreat!"
Taiyi Zhenren suppressed his anger and drove Nezha away.
If it were in the past, he would have already cast the Nine Dragons Divine Fire Cover to burn these ignorant beasts into ashes, but now as the head of Xuanmen, he has to put the overall situation first.
Over the past thousand years, Buddhism has become increasingly influential in the Three Realms, while Xuanmen has shown signs of decline.
Even if he cannot reconcile with Jiejiao, he will never resort to violence!
After Taiyi Zhenren spoke, Wu Dang Sheng Mu finally spoke as well.
"Why don't you retreat!"
With just one sentence, all the disciples of Jiejiao retreated to their respective positions.
Even the second-generation disciples of her generation were no exception.
The tense atmosphere suddenly dissipated.
The expressions of the disciples of Chan and Ren sects changed slightly. They did not expect that after ten thousand years, Jie sect was still so united, and that Holy Mother Wu Dang had such prestige.
Li Anran didn't find it strange.
This situation does not occur entirely because the disciples of Jiejiao are so loyal.
During the Conferred Gods Catastrophe, there were quite a few disciples of the Jiejiao who converted to Buddhism. The complete defeat of Master Tongtian was also due to the betrayal of the Chang'er Dingguang Immortal.
The reason these Jiejiao disciples can unite as one is more because they share the same hatred for the enemy, because they have a hatred that has lasted for ten thousand years and has never been let go!
And hatred is the emotion that is most likely to bring people together!
Luo Xuan was somewhat unwilling, but it was not appropriate for him to disobey the words of Mother Wu Dang in front of everyone. Just as he was about to start preaching, a voice suddenly rang out.
"etc!"
Everyone was stunned.
Following the direction of the voice, I saw that the person speaking was Li Anran!
What is he jumping out for now?
Everyone looked at each other, confused.
Just now when everyone was arguing, Li Anran remained silent.
Many people felt contempt and disdain for this prison god, thinking that he was timid and cowardly and did not live up to his reputation. He did not dare to speak when being pointed at and humiliated.
Unexpectedly, at this time, Li Anran stood up.
Taishang Laojun didn't want to cause any more trouble, so he said unhappily, "Prison God, the misunderstanding just now has been resolved. What else do you want to do? Sit down."
Li Anran said: "The misunderstanding has been resolved. However, I still have some questions in my mind and would like to ask Daoist Brother Luo Xuan for advice."
He may not care about his own face, but the rules of this world do not allow it!
If Luo Xuan had humiliated and provoked him like this, he would have just swallowed his anger and said nothing.
Not to mention whether Taiyi Zhenren would accept him as a disciple, he might even lose his position as the prison god.
Taishang Laojun frowned and was about to persuade him again, but Luo Xuan said impatiently: "Li Anran, what do you want to ask me?"
Li Anran asked, "Daoist Luo Xuan, I didn't understand what you said just now. I am the one who understood everything you said, right?"
Everyone: “???” You’re just reacting now?
Everyone was dumbfounded.
They thought that Li Anran would refute Luo Xuan's words, saying that Luo Xuan slandered him, in order to save some face, but they never expected that the first question Li Anran asked would be this!
Luo Xuan was also stunned for a moment, but soon he showed a look of understanding.
Did he think that I wouldn't completely break off relations with him in front of so many people?
Luo Xuan raised a sneer at the corner of his mouth, looked down at Li Anran, and said: "Yes, I am talking about you! Li Anran, the prison god!"
Li Anran said calmly: "How did you know?"
Luo Xuan: “???”
Others: “???”
The surroundings suddenly became quiet.
Even such powerful beings as Sanqing Taiyi Tianzun Wudang Shengmu looked surprised and wondered if there was something wrong with his ears.
He said he understood it all?!
"Li Anran!" Nezha suddenly became anxious.
He just said to those disciples of Jiejiao, "Just because you can't do it yourself, do you think others can't do it either?" He said these things just because he didn't want to be at a disadvantage in front of others, not because he really believed that Li Anran could do it!
There were so many people who preached before, and they were all great masters and powerful people in the three realms, such as Sanqing, Taiyi Tianzun, Wudang Shengmu, and Jinling Shengmu.
The content discussed is all-encompassing, from the evolution of heaven and earth to the deduction of formations to water and fire methods.
Who dares to say that he understands everything?
Even he, with the help of the Enlightenment Tea, only understood about 50%!
But now, Li Anran suddenly said something and he understood it all!
And in front of so many preachers!
Isn't this just putting yourself on the fire?!
Nezha's mind was spinning rapidly, trying hard to think of how to help Li Anran to make up for his words, but he saw Li Anran nodded slightly at him, indicating that he should not worry.
Nezha was stunned and hesitated for a moment, but still chose to believe Li Anran and sat down.
There was a strong hint of worry between his brows that was hard to dissipate.
Luo Xuan didn't expect Li Anran to say that. He was stunned for a while before he asked in disbelief, "What did you just say?"
"I say, how do you know? I understood everything?" Li Anran repeated.
This time everyone heard that he really understood everything Li Anran said!
There was an uproar all around.
The Wendaotai, which had been extremely quiet just a moment ago, suddenly became as busy as a vegetable market.
"He said he understood everything? What a joke! I don't believe it!"
"This prison god is too stupid! In front of so many seniors, he actually dares to puff up his face and pretend to be rich! He really doesn't know how to live or die!"
"That's right! I just thought Luo Xuan was deliberately provoking and slandering me, but now it seems that Li Anran is the truly arrogant and ignorant one!"
"…Is there a possibility that he really understood everything?"
"If he understands all this, I will walk upside down from now on!"
…
Taiyi Zhenren also frowned slightly, and a hint of displeasure flashed in his eyes.
He heard from Yang Jian that Li Anran was a calm person, but he didn't expect him to be so frivolous today!
He didn't even dare to say that he understood it all, but Li Anran actually said that he understood it all, and in front of so many people!
Luo Xuan was stunned for a moment, and suppressed his ecstasy. He said in a deep voice: "Li Anran, do you know what you are talking about? In front of so many fellow Taoists, you speak nonsense. Aren't you afraid of being exposed?"
Li Anran said: "Daoist Luo Xuan, didn't you say it? Did I understand everything?"
"You!" Luo Xuan was speechless for a moment. He didn't know whether Li Anran really didn't understand his sarcasm or was just pretending to be stupid.
But it doesn’t matter!
Even if he cannot take Li Anran's life today, he must make sure that he will no longer have the face to stand in the Three Realms!
Luo Xuan said sternly: "Li Anran, don't make a fuss about these things. I just want to ask you, do you really understand everything?"
This was the third time Luo Xuan asked.
This is also Li Anran’s last chance to change his words!
Changing your words at this time would be a complete loss of face, but it is better than insisting on going on!
Everyone's eyes were fixed on Li Anran, waiting for his answer.
Nezha clenched his fists, wishing he could stand up immediately and deny it for Li Anran, but when he thought of Li Anran's gesture just now, he forced himself to hold it back.
"Blessings to the infinite heavenly master!"
Taiyi Zhenren hesitated for a moment, but finally gave Li Anran a way out for the sake of Nezha and Yang Jian and because Li Anran had suddenly realized the Nine Dragon Formation and had a connection with him.
"Li Anran, if you are angry with someone and you say something wrong, it is normal. Don't try to be strong just to save face! You must know that knowing your mistakes is the best way to improve!"
Li Anran said: "Tianzun, disciple really understands."
There was a flash of disappointment in Taiyi Zhenren's eyes, but he didn't know what to say.
Luo Xuan seized on this and asked sternly, "Li Anran, you dare to make such a boast in front of so many fellow Taoists. Aren't you afraid of being exposed and humiliated?"
Li Anran said: "I am just telling the truth."
Luo Xuan sneered: "Tell the truth? How do you prove that you understand?"
Li Anran also laughed: "Why should I prove it to you? If you understand, you understand. If you don't understand, you don't understand. Everything is in my heart. Why should I prove it to you?"
After a pause, he said, "You! Who do you think you are!"
