Chapter 211: Sending My Disciple Enlightenment Preface
The spring breeze blows and the willows turn green.
The people of Shangyang City returned to the city one after another, and Shangyang City returned to its former bustle.
Many people also bought firecrackers because in their eyes, firecrackers can drive away the plague.
While the people were immersed in the joy of the disappearance of the plague, the entire Canglan County's cultivation community was also shaken by the news conveyed by Zhang Wuji.
The Ghost King appeared in Shangyang City.
This piece of news shocked the entire cultivation community of Canglan County, and what shocked them even more was that the Ghost King was actually sealed in the end.
That ’s the Ghost King.
"The monks of Miaoying Temple cast a golden Buddha to seal the Ghost King. The Taoist master of Qingfeng Temple, Ding Xuan, burned his primordial spirit to suppress the Ghost King..."
"There is also the underworld of Canglan County... Hundreds of underworld officials trapped the ghost king..."
"After this great battle, the underworld of Canglan County was completely destroyed, and only a young Taoist priest was left in Qingfeng Temple, and there was also Miaoying Temple..."
Those who heard it were moved and those who listened to it were shocked...
After hearing Zhang Wuji's story, many young practitioners went to Shangyang City, Qingfeng Temple and Miaoying Temple.
It is a pity that both Qingfeng Temple and Miaoying Temple chose to close their doors to visitors.
These young practitioners could only sigh leisurely at the door, bow to express their inner admiration and gratitude, and finally go to the Shangyang City City God Temple to burn incense.
The news not only spread in Canglan County, but also spread to other surrounding counties with Canglan County as the center. Within half a month, almost the entire Nanjiang Province knew about this matter.
That's a ghost king!
No one would doubt the authenticity of Zhang Wuji's words because that was Qingfeng Temple.
It is one of the nine Taoist temples with the word "Qing" in their name.
In particular, Zhang Wuji expressed his admiration for Taoist Priest Ding Xuan and his noble character of not caring about fame and fortune. The news spread to Taoist temples in various places, and the Taoists in Tzu Chi Temple and Taoyuan Temple also expressed their approval of Zhang Wuji's words.
No matter whether it is the master of Dingxuan Temple or the disciples of Qingfeng Temple, none of them seek fame or wealth, especially Mr. Lin, who is extremely righteous and has the demeanor of a gentleman.
With the evidence from these Taoist temples, even those who had some doubts about Zhang Wuji's words had their doubts dispelled.
Even if there are still some who really don't believe it and think there may be something behind it, they dare only keep it in their hearts. If they say it out loud, they will be spit upon by the cultivators, especially those in Canglan County.
Three days later, Qingfeng Temple opened its doors.
Many practitioners flocked to Qingfeng Temple upon hearing the news. They met the new abbot of Qingfeng Temple, Daogu. While comforting the abbot, they were shocked and touched by the calligraphy left by Taoist Master Ding Xuan in Qingfeng Temple.
"Preface to Sending Off My Disciple Dawu"
【I was fond of Taoism when I was young. My family was poor and I had no way to get scriptures to read. I would borrow scriptures from people who kept them and transcribe them by hand, and return them on a certain date. It was very cold and the inkstone was frozen solid. My fingers could not bend or stretch, but I did not hesitate to take notes. After I finished transcribing, I ran to deliver them, not daring to exceed the agreed time. As a result, many people lent me scriptures, and I was able to read all the scriptures.】
【After I was crowned, I became more interested in the path of cultivation, and I was also worried about not having a great teacher or a great person to associate with. I often traveled hundreds of miles to ask questions from the local teacher. The teacher was virtuous and respected, and his room was filled with disciples. He never showed any disrespect. I stood by his side, helped him with his questions, leaned forward and listened attentively. If he scolded me, I would become even more respectful and polite, and dared not say a word in reply.】
…
[Although I am now old and have not achieved anything, I am still fortunate to be included in the Taoist community and to have received the favor of the founder and to have been appointed as the abbot of the temple. The people of Yangcheng also mistakenly call me by my surname, let alone those who are gifted more than me...]
When these practitioners who came to pay homage saw the article hung on the wall by Taoist Master Dawu, they were all moved by Taoist Master Dingxuan's heart of practice.
If this article creates an image of a Taoist priest who practices diligently in everyone's mind, then the next article will make everyone impressed by the Taoist's righteousness.
"City Defense Table"
[I was originally dull and stupid. I worshipped a Taoist master and entered a Taoist temple. I only wished to be accompanied by the ancient scriptures and the green lamp. I did not seek fame and fortune in the world of cultivation. The master of the temple did not treat me as a humble disciple. He personally taught me and taught me the true scriptures of Taoism. I was grateful and allowed the master to serve me. Later, when something unexpected happened, I was entrusted with the task of serving in a declining country and was ordered to serve in a dangerous situation. It has been forty-one years since then.]
【The master of the temple knew that I was cautious, so he entrusted me with a great task before he passed away. Since I received the order, I have been worried day and night, fearing that I would fail to fulfill the trust and hurt the master's wisdom, so I dare not neglect to kill demons and eliminate monsters. Now the ghost king has appeared in the world and is endangering Shangyang. I should use my body to suppress the ghost king, protect Shangyang, ensure the safety of the people, and maintain the reputation of Qingfeng. This is how I repay the master of the temple. 】
[If I fail to suppress the Ghost King this time, I am afraid that he will never return. Disciple should also make plans on your own. If you are undecided, you can discuss it with your junior brother. Pass on the legacy of Qingfeng and protect the safety of the people. I will smile even when I go to the underworld.]
This article is hung in Taoist Priest Ding Xuan's study. Every practitioner who comes in to visit is moved after reading it. Next to it is a poem of emotion left by a practitioner who has visited before.
"The defense of the city is truly famous in the world. Who can be compared with him in a thousand years?"
Those who have come to Qingfeng Temple are all moved by the Taoist's noble character. How could someone who can become the master of Qingfeng Temple be a dull person? He must be extremely talented. This is just the Taoist's humble words.
After leaving, these people told their friends what they had seen and heard. In a short time, the name of Taoist Master Ding Xuan of Qingfeng Temple spread throughout Nanjiang Prefecture.
"Junior brother, hundreds of practitioners have come to our Taoist temple in the past few days."
At night, Qingfeng Temple closed its doors, and Daogu came to Lin's residence through a side door in the backyard. He now vaguely understood why his junior fellow apprentice came back to write two articles, and wrote them in the tone of their master.
"Well, that's about it. Too much is as bad as too little. Brother, you can go and inform everyone tomorrow that Qingfeng Temple will be closed for seven days due to illness."
The reaction from the cultivation community was within his expectations. That is, there was no selection of the top ten touching figures in the cultivation world in the other world, otherwise the old Taoist would definitely have gotten a spot.
After explaining a few things to Daogu, Lin Ye returned to his room and chose to go back to the gear world.
In the Gear World, Lin Ye was stunned as he looked at the number of days he had been idle for, which had changed .
Twenty-nine thousand three hundred and forty-two days!
Apart from the number of days he originally spent idle, the literary spirit of The Preface to the Pavilion of Prince Teng actually added nearly sixty years to his number of days idle.
The Wenling of Tengwang Pavilion is really amazing.
With a thought, Lin Ye returned to the real world and appeared on the fifth floor of Tengwang Pavilion.
On the fifth floor of the Pavilion of Prince Teng, the four golden plaques engraved with the Preface to the Pavilion of Prince Teng had become very dim and no longer as dazzling as before.
The moment Lin Ye appeared, the four golden plaques lit up again, just like an oil lamp whose oil was about to burn out and suddenly a gust of wind blew, causing the last flame to jump up. The light dimmed as soon as it lit up, but Lin Ye, who was illuminated by the light, disappeared on the spot.
Lin Ye: ...
He had not yet had the chance to thank Wen Ling for writing the Preface to the Pavilion of Prince Teng.
When he stood firm again, he was already outside Tengwang Pavilion.
"Advisor Lin!"
A somewhat surprised voice sounded, and in front of Lin Ye, from the makeshift iron shed, Zhong Shan walked out excitedly.
It has been four days since Consultant Lin entered the sealed realm of Tengwang Pavilion. He has been experiencing torment during these days.
Seeing that Consultant Lin was fine, Zhong Shan couldn't help but tear up. He had been under too much pressure in the past four days, with several phone calls from above asking questions every day and the worry about Consultant Lin...
"Advisor Lin, you finally came out..."
Listening to Zhong Shan telling him what happened in the past few days, Lin Ye explained: "This sealed realm tests literary talent. It took me several days to write an article before I could pass the test and get out."
Lin Ye did not intend to tell Zhong Shan the truth about the Sealed Realm. After all, it involved the Ganjiang River God and a history from a thousand years ago. Now that the matter had been resolved, let this secret be buried in the dust of history.
"Consultant Lin is a very talented writer. This question must be extraordinary if it took you several days to think about it."
Zhong Shan adjusted his mood and offered a flattering gesture. Lin Ye was used to it and said with a smile, "Take me to meet the three people who came from the capital."
"Okay, Mr. Xiao and the others will live in..."
"No need to lead the way, I will come here by myself."
In front, an old man with white hair but vigorous spirit was walking slowly towards this side.
"Advisor Lin, this is Mr. Xiao."
"Meet Mr. Xiao."
"Yes, you are stronger than I imagined. You have great inner strength and your martial arts have truly returned to their original simplicity. You have reached the Grandmaster level. If we fight, I am afraid I will not be your opponent. You are worthy of the fifth sequence."
Xiao Cangming looked at Lin Ye with a satisfied look in his eyes. Lin Ye's ranking was raised to fifth. Most consultants didn't know this, but he knew it. To be honest, he was a little unconvinced at first, but when he saw Lin Ye at this moment, he had to admit that this young man's strength was probably above his.
Before coming, he read Lin Ye's file and knew that in addition to practicing Taoism, Lin Ye was also a warrior. However, neither his appearance nor his aura showed any signs of martial arts. The above information could not be wrong, which could only mean one thing, that Lin Ye had already reached the master level in martial arts.
People who practice cultivation are not afraid of those who practice martial arts, but that only applies to ordinary martial artists. If a martial artist reaches the master level, those who practice cultivation will have to avoid his edge.
A martial arts master has already transcended the ordinary scope of martial arts training.
"Grandmaster?"
Lin Ye was stunned for a moment, but then he understood that the master in the real world should correspond to the Jingzhe realm of the warriors in the other world.
Warriors in the Jingzhe realm are indeed not afraid of people who practice cultivation, and they even have the advantage.
This is because practitioners often need to form seals when casting spells, but warriors do not need to do so, and ordinary spells cannot harm strong people in the Jingzhe realm.
Zhong Shan, who was standing aside, listened to Xiao Cangming's comments on Lin Ye with his mouth slightly opened. He knew Mr. Xiao's identity. He was one of the top ten in the entire consulting circle. Even this person said that he was not as good as Consultant Lin. Consultant Lin was really overconfident.
