Chapter 297 Can I afford it? I can afford it!

That night, Murong Ji stepped into the fourth level of Shangqing.

The next morning, Murong Ji looked at the rising sun and suddenly felt dazed. When did he become so righteous?

Haven't I always been a villain? What should a villain do? Harming others to benefit oneself, using any means necessary.

When did I start to have such a resolute thought?
"Master, that secret technique is enough to ensure your escape. Why don't we just..."

Murong Ji did not listen to Tianhua's words. He sheathed his sword and placed the Tianwen Sword across his knees, watching quietly.

I don't know why, but he was surprisingly calm at this moment.

He didn't know what he was thinking. In fact, he was not thinking about anything. He was in a daze and then awake, but he was in a great state.

He couldn't describe this state.

I didn’t think about anything, but I thought about a lot.

When I came to my senses, I realized it was already late at night.

Murong Ji took out the materials and refined a Taoist crown for himself. According to Qingyun's rules, he was already an elder of Shangqing and could wear the crown.

Wearing the crown means having the right to discuss matters in Qingyun Sect.

But his master Tian Buyi is still alive, and in order to show the disciple's respect for his master, he generally does not put on a crown.

But now he suddenly wanted to crown himself.

The crown of a Taoist priest is actually a symbol of discipline. At first, it was a cap and scarf, which was added for "minor ordination". While indicating one's identity as a Taoist priest, one must also abide by the rules and regulations.

When one's virtue is perfect, one will be promoted to a higher rank, and as one's virtue becomes higher, the responsibilities of a representative will also become heavier.

The three highest crowns in Taoism are the Taiqing Fishtail Crown, the Yuqing Ruyi Crown, and the Shangqing Lotus Crown (Hibiscus Crown).

(The correct name is Shangqing Furongguan, and the lotus is also known as Shui Furong.)
These three not only represent merits and status, but also represent the burden of "the people of the world". For example, if there is a ruthless person who says "the blue sky is dead, the yellow sky should be established", which ruler would not be terrified.

There were too many Taoists who rebelled. Taoism was also feared by monarchs of all dynasties. As Taoism was gradually suppressed by monarchs, the Taoist crown represented the identity of a high-ranking official.

Murong Ji looked at the still hot lotus crown in his hand, let out a long breath, and received the precepts and the crown. He, Murong Ji, wanted to share the disaster for the people of the Central Plains.

"Human race, how much suffering do you have to endure? The demon race is killing people, the demon cult is killing people, and the righteous path is also killing people."

"You can't kill them all, ha ha ha, you can't kill them all at all."

Murong Ji had a face full of sarcasm, as if he was mocking this era. He couldn't tell what his mood was at all at the moment. He felt neither sad nor happy, but extremely calm, so calm that it was scary.

Slowly hold the lotus crown, then slowly lift it up.

"The three-foot sword in the box on the back represents heaven and shows injustice to man."

"The wonders of yin and yang are inexhaustible, and the two solstices return to the 19th palace. If you can understand the principles of yin and yang, the world is in your palm."

"The soul knows the way to heaven, and the life force of the celestial master saves the netherworld."

Murong Ji didn't know what he said, he only knew that this act of self-aggrandizement was forcing himself. He was afraid that the momentum he had finally built up would dissipate because of his own retreat.

I also feel that it would be inappropriate not to say something at such an important moment...

“The practice of the Great Way is easy or difficult. In the beginning, it is up to me and also up to Heaven.”

"Zhou Zi's Taiji becomes a human being, while Xi Yi's Wuji becomes a pill."

"Medicine meets Qi and then it becomes a shape, Tao is in the void and in harmony with nature."

"When a golden elixir is swallowed, my fate is determined by God."

The moment the lotus crown fell and was tied into his hair, Murong Ji felt as if a mountain was pressing down on him, as if countless destinies were pouring down on him, as if it was just a psychological effect on his mind.

It was as if there was an invisible causal pressure pressing down on Murong Ji, making his heart heavy.

In a trance, I came to my senses and my whole body relaxed. Was the feeling just now an illusion? ?
Murong Ji was stunned, "Can I afford it?"

Isn't it good to be a mean person? Selfish people all have an easy life. What's wrong with me? Why should I bear such a big karma?
In a flash of enlightenment, it seemed as if I saw myself kneeling in front of Zhang Boduan to become his disciple. That self now seemed so ridiculous.

Even though he had a famous teacher teaching him, he was still beaten by Murong Fu.

Step by step, he has experienced the cold wind of winter, the scorching heat of summer, experienced life-and-death battles, and also felt the warmth.

He had been an official, a rebel, and even an emperor.

All the scenes from his past life flashed before his eyes. He came to his senses and murmured, "I can bear it."

After he finished speaking, he put on a layer of ink-blue Liuyun robe, which was the attire of the elders of Qingyun Sect, and now he had refined it into a robe.

He let out a long breath, raised his foot and disappeared into the jungle.

Half a month later, Yun Yilan and more than 3,000 elite disciples of Fenxiang Valley marched towards the Central Plains in a mighty manner.

Murong Ji waved his ink-blue flowing cloud robe and stood on a mountain top not far away, watching quietly until their figures disappeared. Then his gaze fell on the Fenxiang Valley.

There are still tens of thousands of disciples in the valley, and among them there are also Shaoyang masters, but it's a pity...

As evening approached, Murong Ji flew over Fenxiang Valley on his sword and glanced at the places below. "Everyone, the Beast God has resurrected and has gathered hundreds of thousands of monsters to prepare to attack Fenxiang Valley!"

"If you want to live, hurry up and escape! If you want to stay and fight, then stay." He transmitted the voice and searched the soul to ensure that the voice reached everyone's ears.

Soon, the Incense Valley below began to boil.

Murong Ji glanced at him coldly. What is destiny? Destiny is a choice. A person's choices at countless critical moments determine his future.

Just like at this moment, among these people, those who choose to stay or escape will have different fates.

They have been given the opportunity to choose, and how they choose is none of his business.

Ignore it and move on to the next location.

Thanks to the protection of Fenxiang Valley for eight hundred years, many people have settled here. The Canglian Mountains are vast and extensive, and the population is quite large.

Murong Ji stood high in the sky, looking at the towns and tribes below, and directly scattered a handful of papers. On them were all the martial arts techniques that Murong Ji had temporarily modified. Their advantage was that they were easy to get started.

How many people can survive this catastrophe depends on their luck.

Within a few days, Murong Ji's message caused panic among the people, and the martial arts, sword techniques, boxing techniques, etc. written by Murong Ji also became famous.

There are dozens of types of skills such as Xiantian Gong, Jinyan Gong, Tonggui Sword Technique, etc., in addition there are also some methods of talismans and alchemy.

The most important thing is the blood refining method that uses the bones and blood of monsters to increase the speed of cultivation and temper the foundation. It is really shocking!

Some people have tried it and found that they can get started in a short period of time and practice very quickly, with a solid foundation that is beyond everyone's expectations.

It was not until then that people noticed that the word "Quanzhen" was written under each martial art.

Behind the technique, there are two more sentences:

Keep your nature intact and be true to yourself, and do not burden yourself with material things.

Everything in the world is composed of yin and yang. In spiritual practice, one should neither cling to yin nor to yang, and should not cling to anything. Only when one achieves emptiness can one understand the wonder of the emptiness in the transformation of yin and yang.

Thus, this method of cultivation was set as the tone. In just a few days, the name of the Quanzhen Patriarch spread throughout Southern Xinjiang.

Qingyun Mountain, Tongtian Peak.

In front of the steps of Yuqing Palace, Li Xun and Xiao Yicai were in harmony with each other with fake smiles on their faces, praising each other. It was not awkward at all. However, their movements and appearance were so natural, except for the fake smiles on their faces.

"Junior Brother Li Xun, please."

Li Xun said a few humble words before going up to Yuqing Palace with Xiao Yicai.

When he reached the entrance of Yuqing Palace, Xiao Yi stopped smiling and bowed slightly, "Master, all the teachers, I am Li Xun from Fenxiang Valley."

"come in."

Xiao Yicai pushed the door open and stood beside it, inviting Li Xun in.

Li Xun walked to the middle of Yuqing Hall, straightened his clothes, took another step forward, bowed and saluted, "Li Xun from Fenxiang Valley, greets Uncle Daoxuan, uncles and uncles."

"Forget it, get up quickly."

Li Xun stood up and bowed to the heads of several seats again. His peers bowed in return, while his elders nodded slightly.

"Your master, is he okay?"

"My master has come out of retreat, Master Daoxuan. Thank you for your concern." Li Xun looked at Lu Xueqi with a smile on his face, and then continued, "As soon as my master came out of retreat, he asked me to come and pay a visit to Master Daoxuan."

As he spoke, he took out the letter and said, "In addition, my master has another letter and asked me to present it to Uncle Daoxuan."

After saying this, Li Xun held up the letter in his hand to show his respect.

Xiao Yicai took it off carefully, walked up to the podium and presented it to his master Daoxuan. Every move he made was very logical and no one could find any mistakes.

Daoxuan opened the letter and read it expressionlessly. Then he glanced at Shuiyue and said, "Did your master tell you anything when you came to Qingyun Mountain this time?"

"My master told me to be obedient and let Uncle Daoxuan make the final decision on everything."

"Hahaha, master, you really throw everything to me. In that case, you can stay here first." Having said that, Daoxuan turned his head and glanced at Lu Xueqi who was standing behind Shuiyue.

"Lu Xueqi."

Lu Xueqi just came back to her senses and stepped forward, clasped her fists and said, "Disciple is here."

"You can accompany Junior Brother Li Xun to see the beautiful scenery of Qingyun Mountain."

Lu Xueqi suddenly looked up, her face full of astonishment, her mind was full of thoughts. She was very smart, she glanced at her master, then clasped her fists and said, "Master, I am not feeling well, please forgive me."

Daoxuan frowned slightly and glanced at Shuiyue, "Oh? I didn't hear that you were injured during this mission."

"To reply to Master, it is, it is a matter of my daughter..."

Daoxuan frowned and remained silent for a long time. Just as he was about to speak, Su Ru beside him suddenly said, "Brother Daoxuan, my Daren has nothing to do. He hangs around me and my wife all day long. It's very annoying."

Su Ru narrowed her beautiful eyes slightly, glanced at everyone, and took in their reactions, "Why not let him take Junior-Junior Brother Li Xun for a walk?"

Daoxuan then noticed that Tian Buyi's face was ashen and his eyelids were drooping.
