At that time, the Taoist was fifty-five years old. He had the body of an immortal and possessed profound knowledge of Taoism.

The jujube trees are full of fruit, the Taoist writes a Buddhist character, and golden lotuses spring up from the ground.

"There is a saying in Buddhism that anyone who can make the ground bloom with golden lotuses can be called a Buddha."

The female crown leaned over and touched it with a little golden light, and when her fingertips touched it, it immediately turned into soil.

"You're just a Taoist priest, what kind of Buddhism do you practice?"

"Buddha is originally the Tao, Tao is originally the Buddha, and demons can also be the Buddha's Tao. Buddha, Taoism, and demons are essentially one body, just like the yin and yang of heaven and earth, and all living beings come to the same destination through different paths."

The Taoist replied expressionlessly, and every word and every sound contained the ultimate truth.

"I entered the Tao first, followed by the Buddhist sword, and last by the devil sword. But the Buddhist sword is the most skillful and I have the deepest understanding. Now it is unprecedented."

"Unprecedented?" Nu Guan looked surprised, "This Buddhist sword has gone through thousands of years and been repaired by countless generations of Buddhas. What's more, there were immortal swords before, and you have surpassed the immortal sword now?"

"nature."

The Taoist nodded, and in an instant, palaces rose from the ground around the small bamboo forest courtyard. In the next moment, they turned into flying snow, and in the next moment they fell to the ground and turned into mountains.

With one thought, mountains rise.

With one thought, thousands of palaces stand.

I can't tell whether the female crown is an illusion or reality. I guess it was transformed by the sword's will. It is touchable and similar to the real thing.

She asked: "What kind of state is this?"

"There is no realm, it's just what I understand."

"Why not give it a name? This is what those who reach the top deserve, so that future generations will know your path."

"If you cultivate Taoism and self-cultivation, what does it matter if future generations know about it? It's all nothing but illusion."

"I want to know the name."

"Then let's call it Wanxiang. It can be compared to Buddha. I have never seen Buddha, so I don't know how to compare it with it."

"You still want to compare yourself with Buddha. Buddhism was not cultivated by humans in the beginning, but was some kind of innate divine being. Buddhist scriptures record that there are Buddhas from the twelve directions, but in fact very few people have seen the true body of Buddha."

Nu Guan changed her voice and said: "The Buddha on the Jade Sword Buddha is Zhenru Buddha. I asked the master to take a look. She wants to deal with the demon clan, but she can't deal with Zhenru Buddha for the time being."

The Taoist's brows raised slightly, and his cold expression changed a bit.

"I was not yet an immortal at the time, so I didn't know her problem."

"Master said that she and the Buddha and the devil are like an egg, the devil is the egg white, the Buddha is the yolk, and she is just the egg shell."

"What's the explanation?"

"One is to kill the Buddha and the demon, and the other is to support her empty shell with the same avenue. There are many compromise methods, but it is not certain whether they will succeed."

"for example?"

"The master of the Jade Sword Buddha, she has a way to kill the Buddha with the previous generation of Buddhist swords. The master said that there is a chance, but it is only one in a thousand. If you go out, you will have a slight chance. After all, you are now an immortal.

.”

"Troublesome little nun."

The Taoist commented like this, and Nu Guan smiled.

"I remember that you were following her every day and wanted to learn the sword. Then she ignored you all the time. Now you can slap her on the head as hard as you can."

Slap her hard on the forehead.

The Taoist had some thoughts.

"Can I rub it?"

"If you are better than her, of course you can do it."

——————————————

Spring turns to winter in the blink of an eye.

Xuanhuangzhou has no snow in winter and is like spring all year round.

It is said that Immortal Qingcang was afraid that winter would affect farming, so he set up a large formation in Sanqing Mountain and built a mountain range across the north to block the cold wind from the extreme west and allow the heat to flow in the ground in winter.

The annual grain production in Xuanhuang Prefecture is enough to support half of the human race.

Gu Wen has just approved an allocation of five million spirit stones to provide additional repairs to the geothermal array.

He met alone with the powerful man in charge of his formation.

The Geothermal Formation is an internal affair and is under the management of the Earth Fire Palace in Shifang City. Its current palace owner is a True Lord of the Yin Yang Sect, with a term of thirty years.

In a side hall ten feet wide, Gu Wen and the True Lord of the Yin Yang Sect were sitting opposite each other, with the latter looking calm.

All the powerful people in important positions that Gu Wen has seen are very good at acting. With their cultivation, they can freely express their emotions, anger, sorrow, and joy, and there is no problem on the surface.

"I am an old acquaintance with you, the leader of the Yin Yang Sect."

Gu Wen poured a glass of wine and pushed it towards him. The Yin-Yang Sect True Lord was flattered and drank it again and again, and said with a smile: "My subordinates heard about the incident between the Supreme Leader and the leader, and strongly supported the Dao Sect. However, they were weak at that time and could not control the sect.

will."

At that time, the Yin Yang Sect was divided into two factions, Yin and Yang. Among them, the Yin faction Tianzun ended up at Tianquan Mountain and became the enemy of the goddess.

If He Huan and Gu Wen from another sect were not good friends, then the current first-rate sect like the Yin-Yang Sect might have been reduced to a second-rate sect.

Dao Zong will not directly slaughter a sect, but only needs to take away most of their spiritual veins and spiritual fields to make it decline rapidly within hundreds of years.

"How is Brother He doing now?"

"The headmaster sought a breakthrough many years ago, but he has yet to show up."

Gu Wen's ears were filled with wisps of thoughts, and the charm of the taiwan seemed to peel off the face of the smiling Zhenjun.

[The headmaster's temperament has changed drastically, and I don't know if he can transform back into a man.]

"I heard that he transformed into a heavenly being, should he be fine?"

"It's okay, the leader teaches the art of creation. This is a symbol of the unity of yin and yang."

[Cut the roots and make a breakthrough, practice self-cultivation, neither male nor female. Fortunately, the women in the headmaster’s family are not loose people, otherwise I don’t know how many scandals would have occurred.]

"..."

Gu Wen looked strange and changed the subject: "I am new to the Jade Palace and I don't understand the affairs of the world. Today, the master asked me to ask about the Earth Fire Palace. How is the repair of the Nine-turn Earth Fire Array?"

The True Lord of the Yin Yang Sect immediately replied: "Returning to your Majesty, the Earth Fire Palace has spent ten years restoring the formation to its original state. It has been inspected every year and minor inspections every month. It is absolutely correct."

[After ten years of cultivation, I don’t know if there will be any problems with those spiritual stones. I have been in seclusion for seven years, so I have to go back and check to avoid problems. ]

This is very Taoist.

However, a utilization rate of 70% is considered excellent, which shows that Daozong has extremely strict control over corruption. Based on Gu Wen's experience in Longqiao, any government allocation must be used up to at least 80%.

For example, for disaster relief, it might just be a matter of lying about the allocation, the officials would take some money, and the people would get over it for a while. When it gets really serious, the only thing the government wants is to drag the people to death.

Otherwise, there will be civil unrest, and the army will suppress it or die.

Daozong's ability to implement policies in local areas has separated him from the category of feudal society, but it is also different from the modern society he understands.

Because many powerful people can easily become an ‘offline monarchy’.

But if you don't use powerful people and manage it with mortals, the implementation cost and corruption speed will be too fast. Maybe the Dao Zong powerful person will retreat and change the dynasty when he comes out.

At the same time, it is easy to cause problems if the great monks who control the armed forces are not in power.

After seeing off the True Lord of the Yin Yang Sect, Gu Wen looked a little strange, and a prodigal son in flowing white clothes appeared in his mind.

Then, as if through some kind of induction, he saw another delicate and gentle face.

The graceful figure lies prone beside the jade pond, with her jade arms falling on the clear spring.

A chill came over me.

Chi Yuzi on the side asked: "Are you worried about that He Huan?"

"Yes, I have the impression that he is more of a womanizer. Now that he is neither male nor female, I don't know if he will have inner demons. And I shouldn't be able to solve it for the time being. This shouldn't be a disease."

Gu Wen's strange expression was a little more worried.

He is not omnipotent. Repairing the foundations of Lan Yongning and Lu Chan is just like Jin Zhan, only filling it with great avenues.

"Hopefully he won't mind the current situation."

Akabane was a bit annoyed: "Do you have a good relationship with him?"

[I never saw you caring so much about my aunt and me.]

Gu Wen smiled and said: "We have made friends since we were young, and have been through life and death. If we share the same odor with each other, we can be considered best friends."

"How does it compare to me?"

"How can this compare? How can you, a latecomer, compare with Brother He?"

Chi Yuzi was so angry that he bared his teeth and claws, but was still suppressed by Gu Wen with a palm to his head.

But she remembered He Huan. If she couldn't defeat Gu Wen, could she also defeat He Huan?
