Chapter 486 Master Tan Yuan
Young Master Fang Qi kept nagging in Chu Xiu's ears. This man's talkative tuberculosis is definitely a disease, as if he could suffocate to death if he didn't speak for a day.
Chu Xiu was also annoyed by him, so he suddenly said, "I have seen Zong Xuan's strength, it is indeed very terrifying. Now I am not as good as him. So what about Zhang Chengzhen, who ranks first in the Dragon and Tiger List? Have you ever fought with him? Should I win or lose?"
Young Master Fang Qi was stunned by Chu Xiu's questioning, then his expression became depressed and he snorted: "Anyway, they are all monsters, but that guy Zhang Chengzhen is easier to talk to than Zong Xuan. Like this Zong Xuan, he just can't communicate at all."
Chu Xiu didn't say anything, and he knew that he looked at Fang Qishou's expression. He must have fought or had a fight with Zhang Chengzhen, and he also lost, the kind who lost a lot.
Otherwise, if he could get a point, he could even make a comeback with Fang Qishou's personality.
Speaking of Zhang Chengzhen, Chu Xiu seemed to have discovered it. This time he came to welcome Master Tan Yuan, not to mention the people from the four major Taoist sects, there was not even a Taoist warrior.
But it is normal to think about it. After all, Master Tan Yuan is a Buddhist monk, and the contradiction between Taoism and Buddha has always existed. Even if Master Tan Yuan is a great master and holy monk who is famous in the world, no one will come to greet Taoism. Otherwise, wouldn’t that destroy his own might?
So, Taoist simply pretended not to know about this matter, and didn't even come at all.
And just as everyone was waiting hard on Yinglong Beach, a giant ship broke through the waves on the sea in the distance, and a vivid giant whale was embroidered on the sails.
This giant whale is the symbol of the largest chamber of commerce, Whale Sky Association among dozens of islands in the East China Sea. The Whale Sky Association travels between Dongqi and the East China Sea. Although it is not the largest force in the East China Sea, it is the most financially powerful chamber of commerce.
At this time, on the bow of the giant ship, an old monk stared at a black line-like land, with a complex and reminiscent look in his eyes.
This old monk is really old, his eyebrows and beard are gray and white, and the folds on his face seem to be able to kill flies.
He was wearing only an ordinary gray monk robe with patches on it.
The only thing that is more eye-catching on his body is the string of Buddhist beads hanging around his neck. The surface is extremely bright, and the Buddha's light is born, and it looks like it is not an ordinary thing.
This old monk is a great master of the Buddha sect who is famous all over the world. He is regarded as a person like a Buddha in all families and a holy monk Tan Yuan!
At this moment, looking at the land of Dongqi, Master Tan Yuan's heart suddenly felt aroused, with countless emotions, but in the end they all turned into a long sigh.
The young man left home and returned.
Master Tan Yuan was already quite young when he left Dongqi, and when he returned, he was not old, but was almost dead.
In fact, Master Tan Yuan is not too old, and he is only just over 100 years old this year.
The lifespan of the martial arts master is three hundred years old. Even if Master Tan Yuan only stayed in the True Fire God Refining Realm for one day, it is still no problem for him to retain the lifespan of the martial arts master realm.
But it’s a pity that Master Tan Yuan has spread Buddhism in the East China Sea for many years and resolved his anger and hatred. He has fought with others a lot. Sometimes he even fought with one person to fight a large force with one force. For a long time, he has been covered in secret injuries all over his body. Even though he still retains the strength of a martial arts master, his life span is almost exhausted.
Master Tan Yuan, a martial arts master, ended up like this now. To outsiders, it seems a bit unworthy, but in Master Tan Yuan’s own opinion, he has never regretted it.
There must be something in a person's life worthy of your life to persevere. In the past, Master Tanyuan traveled overseas in middle age, spread Buddhism, and resolved his anger and hatred. At that time, even Master Tanyuan himself was actually very confused.
In a hundred years of life, Master Tan Yuan's first half of his life was very mediocre, his martial arts qualifications were mediocre, and his Buddhist qualifications were mediocre. He was born in a small temple and might have spent this life like this.
But I don’t know why, even Master Tan Yuan himself didn’t know why he suddenly had the idea of traveling to the east and overseas.
Perhaps it was an impulse, or perhaps it was also the thoughts he had hidden deep in his heart for many years.
Now decades have passed. Although overseas places have not completely bathed in Buddhism, temples have been established. Originally, there have been endless struggles between the islands due to interests, and many of them have been resolved by him.
The nameless monk Tan Yuan in the past has also become the current holy monk Tan Yuan.
He lowered his head and sighed, Master Tanyuan took out a jade slip from his arms and played with it.
This is what his friend, the one who gave him to Taoist Tianshu from Lingao Island in Donghai, used to help him find his disciples.
In fact, Master Tan Yuan is not so persistent in martial arts. With the way of martial arts, Master Tan Yuan's hands have been infected with human lives, but the people he saved were ten times or even thousands of times more than the people he had killed.
So when he was in the East China Sea, Master Tanyuan had no time to find his disciples. Until now, he found that his life span was not much, so he became interested in finding his successor.
With Master Tan Yuan’s reputation in the East China Sea, it is very easy for him to find disciples, but unfortunately, he was not satisfied with these people.
Master Tan Yuan’s requirements for his disciples are not high. The other party can be either not a monk or a disciple of other sects, and it doesn’t matter if he or a Taoist priest.
But Master Tan Yuan’s only hope is that his martial arts can be used to save people, not kill people.
Good and evil cannot be seen just by looking at the appearance of reputation. Sometimes a great evil man’s thought of kindness can save thousands of people. However, among the young warriors in the East China Sea, Master Tan Yuan only saw their obsession with martial arts. The so-called good and evil were put to the end by them.
That's why Master Tan Yuan was preparing to come to the Central Plains to return to his roots and choose a disciple.
But unfortunately, God has not left him much time, so even if he is a prominent person in the Central Plains, he doesn’t have much time to choose and test himself.
That's why Tan Yuan asked Taoist Tianshu for such a jade slip.
Taoist Tianshu is a casual cultivator from Lingao Island, Donghai. He is very famous. Although he has the cultivation level of a martial arts master, what he is truly famous is his Tianji Calculation technique.
It seems strange to others that monks can become friends with Taoist priests, but Master Tan Yuan is a close friend with Taoist Tianshu. When they communicate and chat together, they never have the view of Buddha. You are you, Buddha is Buddha, and Tao is Tao. It has nothing to do with both parties, and they can be said to be very clear about seeing it.
When he learned that his old friend was not long before, Taoist Tianshu was also very sad, so he used his strongest power to calculate the disciples who met Master Tan Yuan's requirements and gave him four comments:
When the road is covered by a Huagai, the hidden dragon is hard to guard in the heart of the abyss.
The finishing touch of the pen gathers the wind and clouds, like a moth flying into a fire and turning the tide.
The meaning of the criticism is very obvious. This time, the disciple that Master Tan Yuan wanted should be from the court. Huagai covered his mouth and said the word "official". As long as he was an official, he was from the court. This time, Master Tan Yuan stepped into the Central Plains and would definitely meet a warrior from the court.
The hidden dragon is hard to guard in the heart of the earth, which means that the other party is still just a hidden dragon, and he has no fame, and even he doesn't know where he is ahead.
The finishing touch of the pen refers to Master Tan Yuan himself. He passed the skills to the other party, just like the finishing touch, giving the other party the strength to gather the wind and clouds and laugh at the world.
In the end, like a moth to a flame, it means that in the future, the other party will turn the tide like a moth to a flame, saving thousands of people, in the future, when everyone is not optimistic about it.
Moreover, Taoist Tianshu was afraid that the criticism would be a little blurred, which would lead to Master Tan Yuan’s choice of the wrong person. Therefore, Taoist Tianshu also exchanged his mouthful of essence and blood for a vague secret of heaven and sealed it in the jade slip. As long as Master Tan Yuan met the person related to the criticism, the jade slip would shine with a double guarantee and would never make mistakes.
If Chu Xiu was here, he would almost understand why Master Tan Yuan would choose Li Yuan in the end. This is cause and effect, and also fate.
Li Yuan was born in the Eastern Qi court. If he had not died this time, he would definitely follow the crown prince to welcome Master Tan Yuan. In this way, he would meet the first rule.
Li Yuan himself is not very famous, so he is naturally a little confused about the future, which is in line with the second one.
The last two points refer to Li Yuan's future. After receiving the inheritance of Master Tan Yuan, he did indeed gather together completely and soar into the sky as if he was the finishing touch.
The last one refers to Li Yuan, when Dongqi was in a weak and in danger, resisted the Northern Yan like a moth to the flames when everyone was not optimistic about it, and finally turned the tide and became the King of Zhenbei and General of Dongqi.
The reason why the disciple calculated by Taoist Tianshu was Li Yuan, whose hands were covered in blood in the later stage, was because of cause and effect.
Cause and effect are very mysterious. Even good and evil cannot be used to distinguish cause and effect. Sometimes you do a good deed, but it may lead to greater evil. Sometimes you kill someone, but you can save more people.
If Li Yuan did not turn the tide for Dongqi in the future, Beiyan would definitely defeat Dongqi. However, the lean camel was bigger than a horse, and Dongqi, which was in the heart of the Central Plains, would naturally not be so easy to destroy. It would inevitably fight Beiyan to the end. At that time, Xi Chu would definitely make a kick and take advantage of the chaos to make profits.
In this way, if the Three Kingdoms War repeats itself, the world will surely flow into a river of blood.
If Li Yuan had the strength to turn the tide, he would have been able to make Northern Yan retreat, control the war to a certain extent, and not give Western Chu a chance to intervene. In this way, although there were also casualties, there would undoubtedly be more living people.
However, no matter what, Li Yuan's existence led to the reduction of killing in the Three Kingdoms. Although he killed many people, he also indirectly saved thousands of people. Therefore, in the deduction of the Taoist Tianshu, Li Yuan was undoubtedly the one who meets the requirements.
