Chapter 638 Inspection
When Yuchen was distracted from communicating with Huang Yan, he was not idle in Miluo Palace and was still observing other strongholds.
As he watched, it attracted the attention of two monks who were patrolling the defense lines of Middle-earth and Western countries.
After one of the monks noticed Yu Chen's gaze, two green sword lights emitting pure yang aura flew out from his sleeves, like a green python snake lurking and waiting, ready to launch a fatal blow at any time.
Just as these two sword lights were about to fly out of the monk's sleeve, another monk next to him took the lead in taking action. A circle suddenly appeared in the void and turned back and forth, with faint lights among them, which seemed to be changing rapidly and eternal and unmoving trajectories in the air.
The blue sword light had just flew out and returned to the monk's sleeve, indicating the way for the attacker to fiddle with Zhou Guang.
Then, the monk who blocked the sword light spoke: "It turned out to be Zhenren Yuchen. I think he discovered the changes in the stronghold where Guan Zizai was just now and came here to investigate. Zhenjun Miaotong, you are an old friend with him. I will leave the communication to you. How about it?"
The monk turned his head and looked at the thin and yellow-looking old monk on the side.
He wore a hat that looked like a crown and a five-Buddha crown, a dark red cassock, revealing half of his thin but covered with Buddhist scriptures. He held a cylindrical shape in his hand, with countless Buddhist scripture patterns painted on the surface, and several strings of diamond prayer wheels hanging underneath.
At this moment, the prayer wheel in his hand was slowly rotating, and the hanging diamonds were rotating, like a canopy, and faintly, the rotational trajectories of the diamonds were driving the rotation of one circle after another around him, and the trajectories in the air seemed to change rapidly and seemed to be eternal.
In the end, these trajectories were painted into a ninth-grade lotus platform, suspended under his feet, making his breath more mysterious, giving people a feeling of being in the present, the past, the future, and any time node.
"It should be like this!"
After the Zhenjun Miaotong and the old monk signaled, he used the secret technique to block Yuchen's gaze and at the same time absorbed his breath, so as to contact Yuchen.
"Fellow Daoist Yuchen, since you joined the Shangqing Lingbao lineage, you have paid little attention to external changes. How can you have time to observe the changes in this defense line today?"
Feeling the power of the True Lord Miaotong, Yu Chen was not too prepared for it, and allowed his breath to be absorbed by the other party, turning into an illusory image and appearing in front of Miaotong.
"It turned out to be a wonderful channel friend of the Chunyang lineage. I just accidentally discovered the Western attacking Buddhist stronghold and helped fellow Guan Zizai intercept the opponent's attack. After worrying about the changes in other defense lines, I sensed it from afar. Speaking of which, my distraction was still communicating with fellow Huang Yan."
"Boy Huang! How is he?"
When Master Miaotong heard this, he also smiled. At that time, he was in charge of the government city and assisted the government army to guard a stronghold. However, with the war between the Middle Earth and the West, the three major governmental teachers and Taoist fruits were combined to achieve the status of the Creator True Lord. The government city also turned into a government cave heaven. With enough defense capabilities, it was no longer suitable for immortal monks to live in, so he left that place.
At this moment, when Master Miaotong heard Yuchen talk about the lineage of the institution, he couldn't help but ask a question casually as the beginning of the communication.
"It's not bad, it's already stable at the third grade. I'm talking to him about the shape of the mechanism."
After responding casually, Yu Chen asked, "Why are fellow Taoists here? What are the means to stop my gaze just now, and what are the means to contact me now?"
"Why am I here? It's not because of you, fellow Taoist Yuchen. As the immortal god who guides the changes in the world, as your strength increases, the speed of integration between the Middle Earth and the West also increases, which leads to me having to go out for patrols."
Zhenjun Miaotong said half of the explanation and half of the joke, and explained the reason for Yuchen in detail.
With the approaching decisive battle between Middle-earth and the West, the defense lines between Middle-earth and the West also undergo earth-shaking changes. In the past, the defense lines between both sides were similar to the weak points of the world barrier. Before the Middle-earth converged the defense lines and officially started with the West, there were about 32 weak points that could be passed by people for a long time.
Among them, the nineteen places close to land, which have high stability but cannot be passed by high monks, are directly controlled by the imperial court and are blocked by the generals sent by the imperial court. They are the few paths that monks who traveled to and from the Middle and Earths in the past can take, and are the lifeline of the exchanges between China and the West in the past.
Then, the eight weak points that are farthest from the Middle Earth and the highest stability can be provided for the fight of the three-grade monks, and are controlled by the two meridians of the immortals and Buddhas. Each place is at least one immortals and Buddhas monk with the third-grade monk.
The remaining five places are not far or near, and are located in the weak points on the Middle Earth and the Western Ocean. Because they cannot provide the environment for third-grade monks to fight for a long time, they are arranged to be the past institutional masters with strong combat capabilities and can fight against third-grade monks for a short time, but they do not have the real third-grade force protection.
Of course, these five strongholds also have monks in charge of the two meridians and three-grade grades of immortals, Buddhas, and monks.
Now, with the gap between Middle Earth and the West becoming weaker, five of the eight strongholds controlled by the two paths of immortals and Buddhas were covered by huge forces from the two realms and fell into chaos.
In such an environment, third-grade monks cannot enter. After entering, they are worried about being suppressed by the Western world. If third-grade monks cannot enter, they cannot survive in such a chaotic environment.
But everyone is also very clear that this area is the beginning of the decisive battle in the future.
To this end, while the Middle Earth monks gave up the five strongholds, they also established new strongholds outside the chaotic area, and kept three third-grade monks in attendance for a long time.
The remaining two free third-grade monks were patrolling the defense line with the same free attack on the True Lord Miaotong to prevent new weaknesses from appearing.
"Now, the entire outer edge of the defense line has been blocked by me and two other third-grade Buddhist monks relying on a second-grade artifact. If the monk hadn't discovered the origin of your aura, I would have slashed over with one sword just now."
At the end of the conversation, Miaotong said half-jokingly again.
"King of Monk? Which Monk King? King of Monk King of Time, or King of Miaode Monk?"
Yu Chen asked curiously. While speaking, Yu Chen couldn't help but look at the location of the old monk just now. As a phantom transformed by the breath on his eyes, Yu Chen's five senses projected by this projection were stronger than ordinary people, and he could barely feel that there was a monk there just now.
I want to figure out who the master of the breath is at once, but I can't do it.
The two monks in his mouth refer to two Buddhist monks with three-level cultivators, among which the Monk of Time is the leader of the Tantric Sect, who is in charge of the third-level immortal gods, the five Buddhas, the dual movement of compassion and wisdom, and the main master of Vajra of Time is the Lord.
The status in Tantric Buddhism is slightly higher than that of another immortal god who also holds the third-level position and is both the five original Buddhas. He is called the King of Happiness, the Lord of the Vajra of the Great Huanxi Heaven.
As for the other monk king of Miaode in Yuchen's mouth, he was not a Tantric monk. His identity was quite special. He also practiced the five great methods of Tantric Buddhism and condensed the great power and virtue of the five Buddhas, so he was called the Monk King. But in fact, the third level he achieved was the Three Saints of Huayan, Manjushri Bodhisattva.
"It's the King of Monks of the Times. Only when he is in charge of the origin of the universe light can he discover the traces of fellow Taoists in an instant and stop me from slashing out with one sword."
"Is the Monk King of Time? No wonder, as a monk who inherited the position of Chunyangzi, the sword heart is clear and the sword energy is unparalleled. He can stop you. Among the three monks, there is indeed the most possibility of being the Monk King of Time."
Yu Chen responded with a smile and asked again: "Fellow Taoist said just now that there should be three monks who were inspecting. I wonder who the third one is? Is it the Miaode Monk King?"
While speaking, Yu Chen remembered the third-grade Buddha light that appeared at the stronghold where Guan Zi was located.
Zhenjun Miaotong also gave affirmation: "Indeed, the third person, Miaode Monk, had he just gone to support the stronghold of Avalokitesvara, and had he met you?"
"This is not the case. I just looked at it from a distance, looked at its breath, and guessed it casually."
After saying that, Yu Chen looked at Miaotong again and asked, "But then again, how long will this patrol last for fellow Taoists? You can't always be you, I remember that you were the ones who guarded this place at the beginning."
"Why, fellow Taoist wants to change with me?"
Zhenjun Miaotong couldn't help but tease him, and Yuchen couldn't help but laugh and said, "Forget it, the days like you are not suitable for me, so I'd better stay in the temple and practice my behavior slowly."
"Actually, the inspection is good. When I came to guard the front line, I made a contract with Xiandao and the court to receive a share of energy from Xiandao and the court. In addition, Xiandao and the court should also protect my sect and ensure their normal development."
"No wonder you chose to come here with a friend of the Miao Channel. You are hiding from the True Lord of Shaoyang!"
Yu Chen couldn't help but tease him. Zhenjun Miaotong pretended to smile bitterly and said, "This is nothing to do. You don't know that the Donghua lineage has always hoped to integrate the person of Chunyangzi into its own system and condense their second-grade immortal gods. Emperor Donghua, Emperor Fusang, the head of male immortals, and the position of Dongwanggong."
"I was able to be promoted to the third rank and succeeded in my own efforts. In addition to my own efforts, there was a big reason for the game between all parties. Even if the late emperor helped me back then, it was hard to say that I was really optimistic about me and still had the idea of limiting the Donghua lineage. Finally, I also studied in the Donghua lineage for a while back then, and I was inevitably a little uncomfortable when facing Shaoyang. Instead of staying in Middle Earth, it would be better to come to the front line to take a trip."
When he said this, Zhenjun Miaotong was a little hesitant, especially when he said the word "limitation", he couldn't help but make a light voice before slowly speaking the name of the Donghua lineage.
Yuchen could only shake his head secretly in response to this.
Speaking of which, the past experience of Miaotong Zhenjun can be regarded as a legend among the third-level cultivators. The person he held was left by Lu Dongbin in the past. After removing the names of Tianlei Shangxian, which he was not suitable for inheritance or could no longer be inherited, such as Lingbao Zhenren and Huangliang Immortal Master, the Eight Immortals above the cave, the Ancestor of the Sword Immortal and the Third Origin of Chunyang, the Three Origins of the Three Origins of the Three-Levels.
There is no need to say much about the Eight Immortals in the upper cave, which corresponds to the power of the Eight Immortals. Although the Eight Immortals corresponding to the Eight Immortals is almost absorbed and urged by other persons. However, because Tongxuan Zhenjun, who inherited the old person of Zhang Guo, was still left with a little gold source, allowing Miaotong to be used as the foundation and consolidate his name as the ancestor of the Sword Immortal.
The ancestor of the sword immortal was originally inherited by Lu Dongbin from the former Huangdi teacher Guangcheng Zi's character, not Lu Dongbin himself condensed. Therefore, with the rise of the Zhenwu lineage, after Lu Dongbin disappeared, he was always focused on Zhenjun Xuantian, hoping to inherit this title.
Not to mention the final origin of Pure Yang, the Donghua lineage has planned for a long time to gather its second-grade genre. As far as Yuchen knows, before the East and South China merge into Middle Earth, the Donghua lineage had a layout. This is also one of the main reasons why several prides of heaven emerged from the Chunyang lineage after Lu Dongbin disappeared, and were infinitely close to the Chunyang lineage, but there was no success.
Therefore, under the oppression of the Donghua lineage, Zhenjun Miaotong was able to successfully advance to the third rank, and he also gathered the title of Sword Immortal Ancestor, who was almost "inherited" by the Zhenwu lineage. It was said that it was entirely based on his own abilities, and Zhenjun Miaoyong himself did not believe it.
As he himself said, it was hard to say that the late emperor helped him when he was really optimistic about him, or to limit the power within the Immortal Dao.
Miaotong Zhenjun himself was also very clear about this. He understood his embarrassing position and would go to the front line to take charge. After discovering Yuchen's identity, he went to have a good time. However, when Yuchen joined the Shangqing Lingpa lineage, he did not go there in person, but asked Tongxuan Zhenjun as the representative of the Eight Immortals in the Shangdong Cave.
Yu Chen still attaches great importance to this third-grade immortal cultivator whom he is in contact with, and he couldn't help but persuade him: "But this is not a solution! Fellow Taoist, you can't hide from them all the time! The decisive battle between Middle Earth and the West is about to begin, whether during the battle or after the end, you will meet eventually."
When Master Miaotong heard this, he laughed and said, "Hahaha... Fellow Taoist is so worried. I retreated to the front line, not because I really felt guilty, but because I wanted to put an end to this matter."
"To put it bluntly, they plotted against them in this matter, and I promoted me. No matter how successful I succeed, I can't say that I am wrong. I chose to come here, and it is more important to give everyone a relatively calm thinking environment. Is it really bullying that I think the sword in my hand is not sharp enough?"
After saying that, two sword lights flew out of Miaotong's sleeves. Yu Chen looked at it, exclaimed, and said curiously: "Fellow Daoist, your sword weapon seems to have made progress again."
"Fellow Daoist really has good eyesight! I immediately discovered the changes in my sword weapon."
Master Miaotong nodded and said with some slightest hint: "Speaking of this, the person who provided me with the materials is still your old acquaintance."
"oh?"
When Yu Chen heard this, he vaguely guessed that Miaotong had said so much to him before, but in fact he was to lay the groundwork for this matter. He couldn't help but smile and said, "I wonder which fellow Taoist is it?"
"Yun Chenzi, when he gave me materials, he asked me to pay attention to your location during the war between the Middle Earth and the West. And his attitude was very interesting. Although he specifically told me not to tell you, the meaning between the lines seemed closer to wanting me to tell you that he was collecting your information and whereabouts."
