Daoism was the sect of all Daoists.
Confucianism, Buddhism, and Daoism. Although Daoism had declined in recent years and was the weakest of the three, it had a heritage of a thousand years. However, it had been passed down for thousands of years, so it naturally had a deep foundation. Be it wealth or combat strength, it was not something others could compete with.
Even if it was a family of generals that was as wealthy as a nation, if they really offended the Daoists, they might not be able to gain any advantage.
Just as his master, Divine Jizi, said, if there were ten million Daoist disciples backing Fang Yan, the general family would not be able to do anything to him.
At the very least, his life would be guaranteed.
However, Fang Yan still couldn't agree to it.
Or rather, he couldn't casually agree to it.
Fang Yan looked warily at Divine Jizi and asked with a smile, "Master, tell me directly. What do you want me to do?"
Don't think that monks weren't human, and don't think that monks didn't have smart people.
His master, Divine Jizi, had rushed all the way to Swallow Dock. If it was just to treat his grandfather's leg, Fang Yan would never believe it.
He had repeatedly enticed him to head to the Daoists and even said that he was willing to have ten million Daoist disciples backing him … Then, what did he want? Or rather, what did the Daoists want?
Without figuring this out, Fang Yan didn't have the courage to close his eyes and follow his master to the Daoists. Although he was very willing to believe in his master.
"Do you still remember what I told you about the Taiji Painting?" Divine Jizi asked in a deep voice.
"Yes." Fang Yan's mind stirred as he asked, "What happened?"
"Not long ago, one of the three dragons of Hua Xia, Black Dragon, headed to the Immeasurable Temple to steal the Taiji Painting." Divine Jizi's eyes were filled with anger as he said, "The Immeasurable Temple is where the dignity of the Daoists lies. How can we tolerate such impudence … To forcefully plunder it, isn't this bullying us Daoists?"
"And then?" Fang Yan asked anxiously. The most mysterious of the three dragons of Hua Xia, Black Dragon, had appeared. Furthermore, he had appeared for the Taiji Painting. Black Dragon had been famous for a long time and was already a Heavenly Dao realm expert. Why did he need the Taiji Painting? What secrets were hidden in the Tai Chi Diagram?
"The Black Dragon injured Qing Xuan, the book reader of the Fanghua Pavilion. The Taichong Sect Master discovered the enemy and fought with him. The Black Dragon saw that it was difficult for him to win, so he escaped under the cover of night …"
"The Tai Chi Painting wasn't stolen, was it?"
"Of course. The Taiji Diagram is the Dao Sect's supreme treasure, how can it be casually taken away by someone? "
After pondering for a while, Fang Yan looked at Tianjizi and said, "At that time, the two masters were looking for the guardian of the Tai Chi Diagram … I wonder if you have found the fated person."
Tianjizi looked at Fang Yan and said, "Whether we are fated or not, we have to see the Tai Chi Painting first … Fang Yan, are you willing to give it a try?"
"Why me?" Fang Yan asked.
"Because we are fated," Tian Jizi said. "I have always been looking for a fated person. However, you and I are fated. Isn't it also fated with the Tai Chi Painting? When Tyrant and I first saw you, we had already included you in our list of candidates. However, at that time, you were too vicious and frivolous. It was difficult for you to bear the heavy responsibility … "
"Master, in fact, I am quite frivolous now," Fang Yan said hurriedly.
Tianjizi looked at Fang Yan with a burning gaze and asked, "Until today, you are still unwilling to bear this responsibility?"
"Master, I am too tired." Fang Yan looked at his master Tianjizi sincerely and said, "I want to protect this family, and I am already exhausted. How would they be able to protect this country and its people? I am afraid of suffering and tiredness. I just want to rest, let me take a breather … "
There was a faint smile on Fang Yan's face, as if a gust of wind could blow it away without a trace.
"I am a lazy person. If possible, I just want to find a school and be a leisurely teacher who stands aloof from worldly affairs … But I have been forced to this step. Every step is filled with danger, and every step is filled with danger."
"Master, I am afraid. I am afraid that if I die, our Fang family will be finished. My grandpa is old and weak, my mother is sick because of long-term worry, and I haven't even married a wife. If I die, our Fang family will be ruined … "
"I am not a bad person, and I am not a coward. When the country needs me, I am willing to stand up and fight for it. Like the countless heroes and sages of our Swallow Dock, I am willing to fight for the prosperity of the country and the destiny of the people … But I don't want to take the initiative to meet them. I don't want to carry those responsibilities on my shoulders all the time. I don't want to suppress myself to the point that I can't breathe. I don't want to think that I'm the guardian of the Taiji Painting every time I wake up from my sleep. Is there anything that I didn't do well or do well … "
"Master, my biggest dream is to take good care of my grandpa's health, to make my mother happy, to marry a wife and have several children … and then to live happily with my family. Oh, by the way, Master, I am going to get married … Ye Rou, she is a very good girl. "
Tian Jizi pondered for a long time, then looked at Fang Yan and asked, "If I give you the 'Tai Chi Diagram', do you want it?"
"Yes," Fang Yan answered without hesitation. Whoever didn't want it was an idiot, but just because I took the 'Tai Chi Diagram', you can't treat me as the guardian of the nation. Someone in the east invaded the border, looking for Fang Yan. Someone killed someone in the west, looking for Fang Yan. A cow disappeared in the south, looking for Fang Yan. Whose daughter-in-law in the north didn't get pregnant, looking for Fang Yan …
Fang Yan hoped that he was an independent individual with his own thoughts, not a puppet held hostage by national righteousness.
"Come with me," Tian Jizi said.
"Master?" Fang Yan was shocked. "You really gave me the 'Tai Chi Diagram'?"
"As you said just now, you are not a bad person, let alone a coward. You already have the basic conditions to obtain the 'Tai Chi Diagram' … Taoists pay attention to naturalness, and they will never force others with their own will. Don't worry, even if you get the 'Tai Chi Diagram', you are still Fang Yan. Just like how Mo Qingdi was still Mo Qingdi even after he got the 'Tai Chi Diagram' … "
"Master, I'm going to pack up now, let's go immediately," Fang Yan said excitedly.
"Your grandfather asked me to stay for lunch …" Tian Jizi said helplessly. "Is this kid driving me away?"
"Oh, is that so?" Fang Yan was stunned for a moment, then said, "Then I'll go pack up first. We'll leave whenever you say so. "
…
…
It had just rained on Monkey Mountain, so the entire forest had been washed. The leaves were clear and beautiful, and the rocks were bright. The Daoist temple that was built at the edge of the cliff gave people an even more mysterious feeling, as if it was a divine temple.
Fang Yan had been in Wuliang Temple for three days. Except for his master, Tian Jizi, who brought him in, everyone else in the Taoist temple treated him like an invisible person.
This was a little different from what he had expected. A talented young man like him was the hope of Taoism's resurgence. His master personally went to Swallow Dock to invite him. When he arrived at Wuliang Temple, the Taoist Taichong School led the legendary Three Mysteries and Seven Mysteries to welcome him. Taichong stroked his beard and looked at him. He laughed and pointed at him and said, "This kid has a good foundation and is extremely talented. In the future, the important task of guarding Taoism will be handed over to you." Then, he took his hand and walked into the main hall. Under the gaze of the Taoist gods and countless Taoist elites, he took out the 'Tai Chi Diagram' and handed it to him. If he refused, Taichong would give it to him. If he refused again, Taichong would be furious and say that this was what the people of Taoism all over the world wanted …
Fang Yan did not see the legendary Taichong School Master. He did not even see the other two of the Three Mysteries and Seven Mysteries.
"Don't they realize how important I am?" Fang Yan suspected that he had been deceived by his master. They had brought him to Wuliang Temple on purpose to put him under house arrest. But why did they want to imprison him?
"Could it be that they were also bribed by the Jiang Family …" Fang Yan thought to himself. Then, he immediately pushed this thought out of his mind. "If the Jiang Family can even bribe the Taoist Sect, then I don't have to resist. I can just extend my head and let them chop it off …"
The only thing that satisfied Fang Yan was that the living conditions in Wuliang Temple were not bad. There was a balcony in his room. The balcony was suspended in the air, and if he stepped on it, he would see a cliff that was ten thousand feet high.
The mountain breeze blew, and the fog lingered. The distant mountains were like an ink painting, decorated with red and green, making people feel relaxed and happy.
There was also Wuliang Temple's specialty, Ambergris, to refresh his mouth. This kind of tea could not be drunk outside. Fang Yan could not bear to drink too much, so he hid a small pot of tea that the Taoist priest had given him and prepared to bring it back to his grandfather. His grandfather liked to drink this tea, and it was good for his body.
Knock, knock, knock …
There was a light knock on the door.
Fang Yan walked over and opened the door. His master, Tianjizi, was standing at the door with a smile.
"Master, you finally appeared …" Fang Yan pulled his master's sleeve and said, "Where is the Tai Chi Diagram? Didn't you say that you would give it to me? "
Tianjizi looked at Fang Yan with a smile and said, "After the rain, the weather is late and autumn is coming. The mountains are beautiful, the scenery is good, and the air is good. Why are you always cooped up in the room? Come, I will take you out for a walk. "
"Master …" Fang Yan was not in the mood to look at the scenery. Chaoyan Technology was being attacked by the Jiang family, and the willow tree in Lan Mountain Valley was still resisting the endless methods of the Jiang family. Although the Qin family had gone down the mountain to participate in the battle, their support was limited. The Jiang family was attacking with all their might, and the strength of the two was different. Most of the attacks had to be resolved by Fang Yan and the others themselves.
Fang Yan only wanted to obtain the Tai Chi Diagram as soon as possible, unravel the secrets within, discover the ultimate technique inside, and then quickly return to Flower City to kill everyone …
"When your mind is in a mess, all you see is negative karma." Tianjizi said unfathomably, "Put down your burden and run to nature."
"Master, if you don't give me the Tai Chi Diagram, I will run to Swallow Dock …"
