The Xuandu Temple was the base of Daoism. Today, Mo Jiazi and Pande had taken off in the hot air balloon. Other than causing the Confucian School's Heaven's Perception to fail completely, the Daoist School had also suffered a great loss.
There were no immortals above the clouds, which dealt a heavy blow to the Daoist School's immortal system. This was like a bolt from the blue to the Daoist School of Inner Alchemy. If there were no immortals in the sky, then the Daoist School's pursuit of longevity would probably be a joke.
Night fell.
In the Xuandu Temple, the Daoist School of Inner Alchemy and Outer Alchemy School once again gathered at the Three Pristines Hall to discuss the hot air balloon.
"Supervisor! Mo Jiazi is too arrogant. To think that he dares to attack our Daoist School's immortals! If we don't retaliate, how will the world see us?! "The Inner Alchemy School's Daoist Master Xuan Cheng said furiously.
He was the most resolute member of the Inner Alchemy School and believed in longevity. However, Mo Jiazi had directly confirmed that there were no immortals above the clouds. How could he accept this?
Daoist Changsheng frowned and said, "In my opinion, the hot air balloon is Mo Jiazi's game. However, his original intention was not to attack us Daoists. Moreover, it only takes one moment to ascend to the clouds and land three thousand feet below the ground. If immortals were so close to us and could be easily seen, our pursuit of immortality wouldn't be so difficult."
After Daoist Changsheng said this, many Daoists nodded. They had been pursuing the path of immortals all their lives. If Mo Jiazi were to find immortals so easily, they would not be able to accept it. It would be normal for him to find immortals.
"Changsheng, I didn't expect you to speak up for an outsider. Your Outer Alchemy School is now in a heated relationship with the Mo School. However, don't forget that you're from the School of Daoism," Daoist Master Xuan Cheng snorted coldly.
Daoist Changsheng's face stiffened and said, "Daoist Xuan Cheng, don't slander us. Our Outer Alchemy School is not afraid of crooked shadows. Since we can admit that the path of pills is wrong, why does the Inner Alchemy School have to deceive ourselves? Mo Jiazi's proof that immortals are not immortals above the clouds has saved Daoist School."
"So you're saying that my Taoist sect has to thank Mo Jiazi?" Daoist Master Xuan Cheng sneered.
Taoist Changsheng was about to refute when Yuan Tiangang suddenly raised his hand and said, "Don't argue anymore. Today, the Xuandu Temple has honored guests. All your arguments will naturally be resolved. Li Chunfeng, welcome the guest! "
"Yes!"
Li Chunfeng stood up and said.
As Li Chunfeng walked out of the Three Pristines Hall, the bells in Xuan Du Temple rang continuously.
Daoist Changsheng and Daoist Xuan Cheng looked at each other and couldn't help but feel surprised. This bell meant that an important guest had come to the Xuan Du Temple. Now that night had fallen, who could come to the Xuan Du Temple?
Just as everyone was feeling puzzled, a voice suddenly sounded from outside the hall. "I, Mo, have brought my disciple here in the middle of the night. I hope that everyone from Daoism will forgive me."
Following the voice, Meton's figure appeared in the Three Pristines Hall under Li Chunfeng's lead. Behind him was a little girl.
"Mo Jiazi, how dare you come to my Taoist sect!" Daoist Master Xuan Cheng shouted angrily when he saw Meton's arrival.
Meton laughed and said, "Why wouldn't I dare to come? The School of Mo and the School of Taoism have a close relationship. Moreover, I didn't do anything wrong."
"If you didn't do anything wrong, then why did you, Mo Jiazi, stab the School of Taoism in the back?" Daoist Master Xuan Cheng stood up and questioned.
Meton looked at Daoist Master Xuan Cheng with pity and said, "It was the School of Taoism that cooperated with the School of Mo, not the School of Taoism. As far as I know, the School of Taoism in the Pre-Qin Dynasty didn't have the theory of Immortals. On the contrary, some warlocks and the School of Yin and Yang had such a theory!"
Daoist Master Xuan Cheng was suddenly speechless. The School of Taoism's Immortals system was not created by Lao Zhuang, but by Ge Hong, the leader of the School of Taoism in the Northern and Southern Dynasties. In the original Taoist theories and legends, he softened the ideas of the School of Yin and Yang and created the School of Taoism's Immortals system. This made the School of Taoism's Immortals theory gradually perfect and led to the prosperity of the School of Taoism.
"Besides, even if I didn't board the hot air balloon this time, someone else would board it. The result would be the same. The School of Mo has the courage to understand ghosts, while the School of Taoism claims to pursue the Way of Immortality. If we don't have the courage to explore the Way of Immortality, how can we talk about the Way of Immortality?" Meton retorted.
Seeing this, Yuan Tiangang waved his hand to stop Daoist Master Xuan Cheng and said, "Everyone knows that Mo Jiazi is eloquent, and he really deserves his reputation. Xuan Chengzi, the Way of Immortality is uncertain, and there are thousands of wrong paths. Temporary success and failure are common. Don't worry about it."
Daoist Master Xuan Cheng bowed helplessly and said, "I am persistent. But now our School of Taoism has failed to prove the Way of Immortality twice in a row. I am afraid that it will damage the reputation of the School of Taoism among the people."
Yuan Tiangang shook his head and said, "Doing nothing means doing nothing. Now we are pursuing the Way of Immortality wholeheartedly, and we don't care what the ordinary teachers say."
"Daoist Master Yuan is really a Taoist master. I admire you!" Meton smiled and bowed to Yuan Tiangang.
Yuan Tiangang waved his hand and said, "You can leave. I have something to say to Merton."
"Yes!"
Daoist Master Xuan Cheng took the order and left the Three Pristines Hall. When he left, he still stared at Meton unkindly.
Taoist Master Changsheng nodded slightly to Meton and left with a group of Taoists. Soon, the whole hall was left with Meton and his disciple and Yuan Tiangang and his disciple.
Yuan Tiangang ignored Meton, but stared at Wu Meiniang next to Meton.
"I heard that Merton is going to have a good disciple today. Is it the girl in front of me?" Yuan Tiangang looked at Wu Meiniang's young face, and his face changed slightly.
"Yes, this is the second daughter of Duke Ying, Wu Meiniang. She is my first disciple." Meton nodded.
"Meiniang greets Daoist Master Yuan! Greetings Daoist Master Li. "Wu Meiniang bowed and saluted.
Yuan Tiangang nodded and said, "This girl and the Old Man are quite fated. Ten years ago, I was invited to Duke Ying's Mansion and saw you once, but you were just born."
Meton's eyes flashed and said, "Oh! I didn't expect that Daoist Master Yuan and my disciple have such a fate. "
Yuan Tiangang said, "Your disciple has such a strange fate. It is the first time for me to see it. Naturally, I am impressed. Merton is really discerning. The Mo Family is really lucky. "
Meton glanced at Wu Meiniang, shook his head and said, "Everything depends on human effort. If a person's fate has been determined from birth, what is the meaning of life? Now the Mo Family is reviving. Naturally, we have to fight."
Hearing this, Yuan Tiangang couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly. "Merton deserves to be Merton. Today, Merton comes in person. Don't you want to talk about fate with me?"
Meton just remembered to confirm and said with shame, "In fact, I am here today to apologize."
Yuan Tiangang looked at Modun with great interest. He clicked his tongue in wonder and said, "What did Marquis Mo do wrong? How can you apologize?"
Meton suddenly smiled shyly and said, "I didn't kill him, but he died because of me. Today, although I didn't do anything wrong, I also damaged the reputation of the Taoists in a disguised way. I am here to apologize."
"Since you didn't do anything wrong, you don't have to apologize …" Yuan Tiangang shook his head and refused.
Meton smiled and said, "Daoist Master Yuan should think twice! What I sent today is a good thing. If the Taoists miss this opportunity, there will be no next time. "
Yuan Tiangang's heart moved.
If it was an ordinary item, Yuan Tiangang wouldn't care about it. However, Meton was different. All the items from the hands of Meton were magical. Yuan Tiangang had to be careful.
At the moment, Yuan Tiangang said loudly, "Then I will open my eyes."
"I have put it outside the hall. Daoist Master, please!" Meton reached out and invited.
The four people got up and went outside the hall. They saw that a group of Mo Jiazi's brothers had just installed a cylindrical object as tall as a person. The column as thick as an arm went straight to the sky. It looked very strange.
"Is this the good thing that Merton said?" Yuan Tiangang frowned.
Meton nodded solemnly and said, "Daoist Master Yuan, don't underestimate this thing. This is the latest achievement of the Mo Family, the astronomical telescope. It is the best thing for stargazing!"
