Chapter 204: The Master is Very Tall
Chapter 204: The Master is Very Tall (Combined Chapter)
Chen Huangpi was held in the palm of the master's hand.
Literally.
The master, wearing a dark blue Taoist robe, fished Chen Huangpi out from the long river of time with one hand.
Then, everything around him underwent earth-shaking changes.
Chen Huangpi saw an extremely tall golden gate.
The gate stood tall and straight.
There is no end to the world as far as you look left and right.
Chen Huangpi has seen this door before.
It was seen in the memory of the Fox Mountain God.
At that time, he followed Xu Qingshan into the world of Feitiantu.
The golden-top sky lantern, which is Huang Yibian, is hanging in that world.
There is also an extremely mysterious dark area in that world.
Among them is this golden door.
However, in the memory of the Fox Mountain God, the gate was eventually broken for some unknown reason, and the Taoists in Jingxian Temple all died.
This time I saw the golden door again.
Chen Huangpi couldn't help but ask curiously: "Master, is the altar behind this door the one that crushed the gods?"
"Yes and no."
The master smiled faintly, pointed at the golden door and said, "The altar is indeed behind this door, but it is not ours at the moment."
"Master, you lied to me again."
Chen Huangpi said confidently: "All under heaven belongs to the king, and all the people are his subjects. Master, you are the Taoist master of the Cangtian Era, and everything under this world belongs to you."
"Oh? It's not yours this time?"
"Master!!!"
Chen Huangpi said angrily: "Am I the kind of shameless person who wants everything he sees?"
"Is not it?"
The master pretended to be surprised and said, "I didn't expect that my teacher Huang Pier is actually a gentleman with noble character?"
"Master, I am your disciple."
Chen Huangpi said very seriously: "Like master, like disciple. If the master is a gentleman, the disciple will naturally be a gentleman too."
But he had just finished speaking.
Chen Huangpi felt something was a little strange.
It is true that Master is the Taoist master.
But to be a gentleman...
The master stole the Jiuli Bell and also stole the Dongzhen.
Now, from what Master said, it seems that the altar was also stolen.
This doesn't seem like something a gentleman would do.
Thinking of this, Chen Huangpi suddenly realized.
No wonder I'm so shameless.
It turns out that if the upper beam is not straight, the lower beam will be crooked.
The problem lies with the Master...
Thinking of this, Chen Huangpi couldn't help but smile with relief.
From now on, he no longer has any psychological burden.
"By the way, Master, why are you here?"
Chen Huangpi's mind was jumping, and he immediately asked: "This is the past, but you are clearly in the temple. Could it be that when you disappear on weekdays, you are always in the past?"
The master was wearing a dark blue Taoist robe.
And sane.
This was the Master before he went crazy.
The master still had that calm and kind smile on his face, and he slowly said, "I am the master of the Tao. Once a master of the Tao is certified, he will be certified forever. Before Huang Tian descends to the world, I am naturally omnipresent."
"Master, are you pretending to be crazy?"
"I suspect you are playing a big game."
Chen Huangpi said confidently: "The reason why I am here must be arranged by you, Master, right?"
"As a teacher, I am playing a game of chess."
The master said calmly: "I have indeed arranged a lot of backup plans for you, but I didn't arrange for you to come here."
"what?"
Chen Huangpi was surprised and asked, "Master, isn't that fish you caught me?"
What a joke.
The master went to such great lengths to make such a fuss.
It is the world where Dantian turns into a cave.
The external evil is used as bait again, and even the fishing line is the long river of time.
If the master didn’t arrange it for himself, who else could he arrange it for?
It would have been better if Chen Huangpi didn't mention this.
When this matter is mentioned.
The master said helplessly: "My fishing rod is in the Weak Water Black River, not in the Dantian World. You just need to go boating on the river at night, find the stone tablet, and then call the river god to fish it up."
"But who knew you would reveal your true form again."
"Fighting and killing again."
"It even ran into my Dantian world. If it weren't for my feeling, I would have fished it out."
"I don't know what kind of trouble you'll get into."
As he spoke, the master waved his hand, and a cushion for meditation appeared on the ground in front of the Golden Gate.
After doing all this, Chen Huangpi, who was held in the palm of his hand, immediately sat on the cushion.
"Master, this cushion is so magical."
Chen Huangpi sat on the futon and felt relaxed all over.
The mind also became extremely clear.
Moreover, strands of cool air penetrate into your pores, combing your restless qi and blood.
It’s really a good treasure.
I wish it was mine.
Chen Huangpi looked at his master eagerly without saying a word.
"You, you."
The master smiled helplessly and said, "Since you like it, take it with you when you go back. But this is not a treasure. It is just the cushion I use for meditation. If you really count, you even peed on it when you were a child."
Hear this.
Chen Huangpi's whole face turned red.
"Master, you are wronging me again. I was a good kid when I was young. I won't pee on it."
"Besides, I don't remember such a thing."
"You only remember the good things, not the bad."
The master smiled and said, "When you were a child, you were picky and didn't like to drink porridge, so every time you finished drinking it, you would get angry with me and urinate on this cushion, and even switch the order with my cushion."
"Was I so bad when I was a kid?"
"Yes."
The master said calmly, "But you had a bad memory when you were a kid. You forgot what you had just done after peeing. For so many years, you have always sat on your own cushion."
"I wanted to clean you up, but you were still nostalgic and insisted on holding on to that cushion."
"Master, please stop talking."
Chen Huangpi's heart was a little unstable, and he said angrily: "I'm already grown up, let him go of these things."
Fortunately, the Golden Horn was not released.
Otherwise, Jinjiao would not know that he had such a past that he could not bear to look back on.
With its big mouth, I'm afraid it will spread everywhere.
"By the way, Master, Huang Er doesn't know about these things, right?"
"You were weak at that time and easily invaded by external evil, so I naturally would not let it out."
"Is Huang Er related to the external evil?"
Chen Huangpi widened his eyes.
The brass oil lamp, also known as the Nine Hells Divine Lamp, is an extremely sinister and evil thing.
But that is for others.
To me, Huang Er is my best friend.
But no matter how evil Huang Er is, what does he have to do with external evil?
When the master made Huang Er, he used Shoushan copper and a lot of leftover materials. It was impossible that there were some foreign evils in those leftover materials.
"It's just what you think."
The master said meaningfully: "But Huang Er will not harm you, let alone betray you. Its connection with you is closer than you think."
"Even all the treasures in the temple are against you."
"It will be on your side, too."
"But it often quarrels with me and is sarcastic to me."
Chen Huangpi immediately reported: "Also, Huang Er is still cursing you, Master, in his heart. He is really evil."
"If Huang Er were here, he would say the same thing."
The master touched Chen Huangpi's head and said jokingly, "You two are both bad in your own way. When I punish you, I punish you together. Do you know why?" "To make us understand the truth."
Chen Huangpi said this, but he didn't agree with it in his heart.
Because I have always suspected that my master might go crazy when he wants to, and not go crazy when he doesn't want to.
By this calculation, the master was hitting himself purely because he was itching to do so.
The idea just came to me.
Chen Huangpi felt that the hand that his master placed on top of his head tightened.
He suddenly realized something, blinked his innocent eyes and said, "Master, children speak without restraint, you won't hit me, will you?"
"Silly child, why would your teacher hit you?"
The master smiled and said, "Besides, you are already grown up, and it is normal for you to have some rebellious thoughts. It doesn't matter. I will not beat you for such trivial matters."
"And the reason I hung you up and beat you before was just to disperse the evil energy in your body."
"Master, am I carrying evil spirits?"
Chen Huangpi looked at his hands blankly.
I am a cultivator of the righteous path, so where does the evil spirit come from?
"Not only do you have it, Huang Er also has it in his body."
The master said to himself: "You can't stay here for too long, you have to go back to your time."
"But Master, I still have many doubts."
Chen Huangpi asked, "What are those golden and black characters on my body? Are they really my companion characters?"
"that……"
The master hesitated for a while, then said, "It's not a big deal. Do you remember those insects that chased you back then?"
"Of course I remember. Some of them even consumed my power and turned into large blue moths."
"But later, all those insects were killed by you, Master."
"But what does this have to do with the writing on my body?"
"The words on your body do not belong to this world."
The master looked up into the void and said solemnly, "You came from the Chaos. You were originally the Yellow Sky of the next era, but the Yellow Sky gradually died, and those external evils took the opportunity to invade the Chaos, hoping to occupy its place."
"That's why you left the Primal Chaos and failed to be born prematurely, turning into a stillborn baby."
"But when those external evils devoured you, they also left something in your body."
"After I killed them, I found that they were immortal. Instead, they all appeared in your body."
“It’s those words.”
Chen Huangpi's face turned uneasy.
If I had not instinctively left the chaos back then, I would probably have been completely contaminated by those external evils.
Or in other words, it might turn oneself into an external evil.
"Don't worry."
The master calmed Chen Huangpi down and said softly, "Over the years, I have often thrown you into the alchemy furnace and refined you with true fire. I have already refined away the evil will of the outside world."
"Now, they have completely merged with your essence and become the manifestation of your external power."
"When you come to the world in the future and meet those evil spirits again, they will recognize you as one of their own kind."
"Master, I don't want to be an evildoer."
Chen Huangpi shook his head and said bitterly: "I just want to be myself."
The master said: "The external evil that can run into the chaos to devour you is also the best among the external evils, just like the kings, princes and generals in the mortal world."
"Where does the external evil come from?"
"A place called Taixu."
"Master, I don't really want to be the master of Taixu."
Chen Huangpi said reluctantly: "But it is difficult to disobey the master's order. No matter how heavy the burden on my shoulders is, I will grit my teeth and carry it."
Although I don’t know where Taixu is.
But those external evils devoured him and turned him into a stillborn fetus.
If I don't take advantage of them, I will definitely not be able to swallow this humiliation.
But, I am a good kid.
Those external evils are so bad.
What if I can’t beat them?
“All things carry the Yin and embrace the Yang.”
The master smiled and said, "Good and evil are all in one thought. Although the external evil is bad, it has a different stance. If you really have that ability, those external evils will really become your helpers."
Chen Huangpi said: "But Master, what's the use of me conquering the evil spirit?"
"The world has become like this."
"Is it possible to change back?"
Hear this.
The master shook his head and said meaningfully: "The new world replaces the old world, so it is impossible to change back, but the changes in the world really have nothing to do with those external evils."
"The only master of Tao is me."
"Master, let me test you. Why is it that in this era, there is only one Dao Master, Master?"
"Because you are the strongest, Master."
Chen Huangpi said without hesitation: "Master is omnipotent, so he naturally wants to be the Taoist master of Zhigao."
"No."
The master slowly stretched out his palm and said, "Countless eras have passed, and there are cultivators with stronger talents than me, just like the patterns on this palm. There are also dozens of people who have achieved Dao Master. Among these dozens of people, I am not the most outstanding one."
"However, there is only one Dao Master. Since I am the Dao Master, they are naturally just like me."
Chen Huangpi understood what his master meant.
The only Taoist.
But the changing of eras means that in every era, there will be people who have the opportunity to be in harmony with the Tao and achieve the position of Tao Master.
Countless years have passed, and dozens of Taoist masters have appeared.
However, since the master became the leader of the Tao, they naturally became subordinate to the master.
Although Chen Huangpi's mind was wandering.
But he was smart and immediately figured out the key.
"Master, tell me."
Chen Huangpi said calmly: "Are those Dao Masters still alive? The changes in the world must be related to them, right?"
The master said: "When the era changes, the new world replaces the old world. Those people, who have united themselves with the Tao, naturally do not want to die with the old world, so they cut off their own positions as Tao masters and hibernate in the dark, hoping to continue their lives."
"But even though cultivation is against the will of heaven."
"But there is no such thing as just taking advantage and being irresponsible."
"Since the first Taoist master did this, the origin of heaven and earth has been reduced. The Taoist masters of later generations followed suit, causing the origin of heaven and earth to become less and less."
The will of heaven and earth is the way of heaven.
The blue sky and the yellow sky are both the way of heaven.
The change of eras is a rebirth of heaven and earth.
But the monks’ pursuit of transcendence, of being superior and eternal is naturally contrary to the wishes of all living beings in heaven and earth.
The Taoist master has the strongest cultivation.
He cut off his own position as the Lord of Tao and refused to be reborn with the heaven and earth, which was equivalent to making the new heaven and earth no longer perfect.
Therefore, there will be such changes in heaven and earth.
Mutation is also a disaster.
Simply no more spiritual energy was born.
If you want to become stronger, then wait until Huang Tian comes to the world and become stronger in a new way.
The master told Chen Huangpi all of this.
And after Chen Huangpi heard it.
He was silent for a long time before he said with emotion: "Master, you can also kill yourself, right?"
"If you don't become a Taoist master, you can survive."
"You idiot."
The master smiled and said, "Of course I can kill myself. If others can do it, why can't I do it? But Huangpi, I taught you to do things by any means necessary and to be firm in your heart, but I never taught you to be a coward."
"In my time, there was a lunatic who said that the master of Taoism was a thief."
"If I were that kind of person, what would I have to teach you?"
"Master, what are you going to do?"
Chen Huangpi gritted his teeth and said, "I don't believe that you are the Taoist master just to set an example for me."
"Ruzi can be taught."
The master stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Throughout the ages, those who stole the secrets of heaven became the masters of the Dao, but no one has ever cared about this imperfect world and those imperfect sentient beings. How many times can the world reincarnate?"
"How many times can sentient beings reincarnate?"
"They can't see the weeping and grief of all living beings when the sky collapses and the earth breaks apart."
"But the master has seen it, so the master wants to fight for a future for all living beings, and also wants to settle accounts with those thieves one by one."
"Everyone says that if the sky falls, there will be someone taller to hold it up."
"My master is the Taoist master. Is there anyone in the world taller than me?"
Chen Huangpi didn't say anything.
He just looked up and saw his master's figure.
The master is really tall.
