Chapter 68: Seeing God is Not Bad
Jiang Xian followed Master Qiu into the room. Master Qiu's room was decorated very simply, without any extra decoration. On a faded wooden table was a statue of the Three Pure Ones, with a cushion in front. The rest was a cabinet of books, a chair, a bed, and an eight-diagram peach wood sword hanging on the wall. There was nothing else.
"Sit down." Master Qiu gestured for Jiang Xian to sit on the chair. He sat directly on the bed and said quietly, "You don't come here for no reason. Tell me, what's the matter?"
Jiang Xian pondered for a few seconds and said solemnly: "Some time ago, I went to a place. I believe you seniors have heard of it."
"Of course." Master Qiu smiled slightly. "The leaders of Lanshanhai Sect in previous generations never lived past the age of 25. You still had a few months left, and you should have been enjoying your old age. But you suddenly took action. Many people are speculating."
Jiang Xian pursed his lips, took a deep breath, and said in a deep voice: "I found a mural in that place."
"The mural depicts nine immortals who look like the Nine Palace Flying Stars. I happened to find a dried fruit core in the underground palace - it's now broken. The pattern on the core is a lifelike black dead butterfly. After I saw it, I actually had an illusion."
"I also saw the immortals on the mural! And... at the end of the immortals, I saw a god! I have never seen this god in any book! I know very well that I opened my eyes at the time, and it did not appear in my mind, but right in front of me!"
As each word came out, Master Qiu's eyes became brighter and brighter. When the last word fell, he stood up suddenly and stared at Jiang Xian!
silence.
After a few seconds, Master Qiu shuddered all over, closed his eyes, and murmured, "It's not bad to see a god."
Jiang Xian's eyes lit up and he immediately asked, "What do you mean?"
Master Qiu shook his head: "I can't say."
He looked deeply at Jiang Xian: "This is the highest secret of every religion. Unless you join Taoism and become an important member of Tongtian Mansion, you may be able to obtain some information. Note that it is possible."
"The true explanation of the indestructible God is known by Master Xu, the Taoist master of Tongtian Mansion. Although I cannot tell you what it is, I can tell you... it is a symbol."
Jiang Xian frowned and asked, "Symbol?"
Master Qiu nodded: "Yes, it is a symbol, a unique symbol! Moreover, there is more than one who can see the gods."
"You know, Tongtianfu is the highest institution of every religion in China. But it's not just Taoism, there are also Buddhism, Bonism, Shamanism... Every religion has its own 'seeing the gods indestructible', and every religion's seeing the gods indestructible is different. This kind of thing, each sect has one and only one. And you..."
He frowned and thought for a while, then shook his head and said, "I have never seen the butterfly symbol... If you want to know clearly, go to Longhu Mountain and ask Master Xu."
Jiang Xian smiled bitterly: "Is he afraid he will slap me to death?"
Master Qiu smiled subtly but said nothing.
Jiang Xian sighed and said, "Master Qiu, what do you think about me sending that evildoer at the door back?"
Ling Xiao. The evil creature looked at Jiang Xian with bulging eyes as if he had seen a ghost . How could this guy be so vicious? !
"Not very good." Master Qiu said calmly: "Some dishes taste different after a while."
He casually picked up the teacup beside him, took a sip, and sneered, "It's been several years since this happened, and you're bringing it up again... Do you really think the headmaster has no temper?"
"No way to solve it?"
Master Qiu gently put down the teacup and said with a smile: "If you can find the original copy of the Nanhua Sutra, maybe he will show leniency."
Jiang Xian's face turned a little dark.
The three great Taoist scriptures, Tao Te Ching, Nan Hua Jing, and Chong Xu Jing, also known as Laozi, Zhuangzi, and Liezi, are supreme treasures. Where can we find the originals?
Unconsciously, the hatred is as deep as the sea... Is it because I am standing too far forward? I have attracted enough hatred?
When... a faint bell sound came from afar, the Taoist temple fell silent. After a long time, Jiang Xian sighed, stood up and walked out. When he reached the door, he turned back unwillingly and asked, "What conditions? Will you tell me?"
In response to him, there was the sound of a wooden door closing.
Ling Xiaozi stood up with a swoosh and rubbed his knees: "Failed?"
Jiang Xian had already stopped smiling and shook his head slightly.
Ling Xiaozi tactfully did not ask any further questions. In silence, the two returned to the car at the foot of the mountain. As the car door closed, the suppressed disappointment surged like a tide. Jiang Xian leaned his head against the steering wheel without saying a word. The private space and the dark night became the best place for him to vent his emotions.
One and a half years...
Just a year and a half, the last year and a half!
If I can't find the next clue, I will still be dead!
But... there is no way to make Master Xu give in now!
Quietly venting, Ling Xiaozi's lips twitched, he gently patted his back, gritted his teeth and said: "How about... go to Longhu Mountain and try?"
"You'll die if you try." Jiang Xian raised his head slightly, his eyes reddened: "It's useless... At that time, I slapped Master Xu in the face in front of all the secret sects in the country. It was a great generosity for him to endure it... Not to mention that I can't get to the top of the mountain, even if others open the gate, I don't have the face to go..."
Ling Xiaozi didn't dare to speak because it concerned him. Jiang Xian raised his head, lit a cigarette, took a deep puff, forced himself not to think about these troubles, and changed the subject: "Were you crazy at that time? Knowing that the Minzhou School and the Jianggan School were now deeply hostile to each other, you dared to learn the Minzhou School in Longhu Mountain and kneel down to serve tea to others?"
"You're young... how could you think so much?" Ling Xiao's eyes were a little dull, as if he was reminiscing about something, and there was a rare regret in his eyes: "I'm a genius... I can draw inferences from one instance, I was really attracted at the time... I was young, and I didn't understand what Tongtian Mansion was..."
The more he spoke, the quieter his voice became. However, after a few seconds, he suddenly slapped his thigh, pulled Jiang Xian and said hurriedly, "I remember it!"
“It’s not bad to meet a god… It’s not bad to meet a god!” He buried his hands in her black hair, his eyes flickering. After a few seconds, he said as if he had suddenly realized something: “Someone else told me…someone else!”
He turned his head and looked at Jiang Xian: "Do you know how I got into the Minzhou School?!"
Without waiting for Jiang Xian to answer, he immediately said, "I was seventeen at the time? Anyway, I was not very old, and I was confident that I had no rivals of my age. When I was traveling around, I met a cocky little brat near Wuyi Mountain in Minzhou Province. He was not very old. He was so arrogant in front of me..."
"You called him." Jiang Xian said affirmatively.
"That's a must... He was so angry that his own mother couldn't recognize him. Of course... We were sparring about principles, how could he possibly be my opponent? But that idiot was also a fool, he would never admit defeat. Just when I asked him three times, he replied me with one sentence."
He looked at Jiang Xian deeply and said word by word: "He said: Do you know what the true meaning of 'seeing God is not bad' is?"
So that's how it is... Jiang Xian's eyes flashed, and his mind suddenly became clear.
Although Ling Xiaozi was an abandoned disciple of the Taoist sect, his Kung Fu theory and method were not exaggerated. He was trained as a core since he was a child. He occasionally wondered that there was a smooth road in front of him. As long as he didn't make a big mistake, he would be a high-level official in Tongtian Mansion and directly serve the people at the top of the national pyramid.
What kind of madness would make the other party choose to kneel down and study in a sect that is hostile to his master's sect?
It turns out... it's because seeing God is not bad!
Ling Xiaozi said quickly: "Of course I haven't seen him. But he actually said he had seen him! That's why he introduced me to his grandfather. His grandfather and I discussed Taoism for seven days. His grandfather is really amazing and has a wealth of knowledge. That's where I was impressed by him. To be honest, that old man's knowledge is no less than Master Xu's."
"I asked him about seeing the gods, and I remember he just smiled and didn't say anything. But... it's not important anymore. The Feng Shui and numerology knowledge of the Minzhou School and the Jianggan School have their own merits, and I have been immersed in them. When I was learning the Nine Palaces Flying Stars with that old man, I kowtowed and became his disciple in a daze... Who the hell knew that the little bastard actually took a photo of it and posted it in the Taoist group on QQ! And it was a fucking group photo! I'll fuck his ancestors! Damn it!"
It was obvious that Ling Xiaozi was really angry, and Xichuan's words finally came out. However, Jiang Xian obviously didn't have time to listen to him. His dim eyes were already shining. He grabbed his collar and pulled him over, saying hoarsely: "Where is he? Now?"
"That's what I want to tell you." Ling Xiaozi laughed strangely, "The Archaeological Bureau of the Chang'an Academy of Social Sciences is always accurate!"
