Chapter 68 The Thief Who Stole the World
The Palace Master of Daming Taoist Palace flicked his sleeves and walked straight over without saying a word to the three yellow-robed Taoists.

When Zhou Tieyi saw this scene, he thought that the Palace Master of Daming Dao Palace didn't seem like someone who was easy to talk to.

However, just as he had this thought, he saw the Palace Master of Daming Dao Palace walking past thousands of people and approaching him and Miaoyu.

Miaoyu bowed again and said, "Greetings to Master Wuming."

The Palace Master of Daming Dao Palace responded with a pleasant expression, "You Taiyi Temple is really lucky. Although you are a little worse than Yulong, you have a good heart for the Dao!"

Then, without waiting for Zhou Tieyi to bow again, he grabbed Zhou Tieyi's arm and laughed, "You must be Yulong's child. She gave birth to two sons. One son was destined to be a soldier and cut off the root of her murderous intent. That was a pity in the secular world. But you were destined to be in our Taoist school, which is very good!"

Without waiting for Zhou Tieyi to think about how to answer, the Palace Master of Daming Dao Palace pulled Zhou Tieyi towards the Dao Palace, saying as they walked, "We were in a hurry today and haven't played a game yet. Let's play a game first to relieve our boredom."

The nameless Taoist has four unique skills. The first one is chess. He plays a game of chess every day and has never lost in 200 years.

Such behavior made many of the thousands of Taoists around feel resentful, but the Lord of Daming Palace did not care.

There are thousands of people here. After a hundred years, except for three or five people, they will all be turned into dust. What's the point of caring about them?

In Mingde Palace, at the request of the Palace Master of Daming Dao Palace, no statue of Taoism was erected, and only the word "Dao" was enshrined.

The golden boys and jade girls around burned pepper and orchid branches, lit the golden lamps, dismissed the attendants, and left Zhou Tieyi to play chess with the Lord of Daming Palace. Only Miaoyu served tea beside them. The hall was filled with curling incense, as if it was in the fairyland of Penglai.

Zhou Tieyi picked up the black piece and asked with a smile, "Master Wuming, how many pieces are you going to give me?"

Although he had learned chess and thought he was pretty good, there was a huge difference between him and the Lord of Daming Palace who had been undefeated for two hundred years.

The Lord of Daming Palace said unhappily, "Playing chess is like fighting, how can we give in?"

Zhou Tieyi smiled and made his move at Tianyuan.

The Lord of Daming Palace picked up the white piece and put it down casually.

The two men made moves one after another. The Daming Palace Master looked at the twenty-four-section bamboo pole placed next to Zhou Tieyi and started chatting about family matters. "How is your mother?"

Zhou Tieyi picked up the black piece and thought for a moment, "She said she enjoyed it."

When Zhou Tieyi's black piece fell, the Lord of Daming Palace smiled and said, "It was the old fellow Xuandushan who brought the chessboard to life."

"What's the meaning of this statement?"

The Lord of Daming Palace flicked his sleeves, rolling up the clouds and mist over the hall. He had the body of a boy and the face of a beauty, and there was not a trace of worldly air in his every move.

The clouds were rolled up by his sleeves and turned into mountains, rivers, and seas, and into cities and towns.

"This world is like a chess game, everything has its destiny."

Zhou Tieyi nodded. As someone who could read qi, he had a deep understanding of this.

Even if there was no transcendental world in the previous life, there is an objective cause and effect relationship between all things in the world.

"In this world, the fate of the world is divided between Confucianism, Taoism, and those bald donkeys. However, I, the Taoist, use the least."

Zhou Tieyi looked puzzled and looked up in confusion.

Miaoyu beside him smiled and helped Zhou Tieyi answer, "My Taoist school follows the example of heaven and earth. When I entered the upper third rank, I did not ask for help from others like other schools of thought."

The Lord of Daming Palace smiled proudly, "So my Taoist sect has the most luck. More than 40 years ago, this luck inspired a Taoist fish dragon to descend."

Zhou Tieyi was surprised. It was said that his mother was born from the illicit sex of a fisherman and a girl. Now it seemed like a bit of a myth. But it was not too difficult to understand.

After all, medicine in the previous life was already researching technologies that could enable reproduction without relying on sex.

"It's a pity that this fish dragon has come to the world. Anyone who can see the qi in the world can see it, and my Taoist sect cannot hide it from the world."

Zhou Tieyi sighed silently, it seems that his mother really got the script of the protagonist, and she has been watched by various great people since she was born.

"and then?"

The Daming Palace Master pointed at the fishing rod and said, "She passed this thing to you, and probably told you a lot about her past. So I will tell you what she didn't understand back then."

The Lord of Daming Palace continued to make moves and asked, "What would you do if you encountered this Taoist fish dragon?"

Zhou Tieyi looked at the chessboard and found that his dragon had been trapped without him noticing. He could neither kill it nor escape.

Yes, my mother was born with great fortune from Taoism.

If the older generation of various schools of thought took action to kill them, the Taoist sect would go crazy. They really think that Taoist sects are vegetarians like monks.

But if we ask our peers to suppress it, who can suppress the Taoist fish dragon? I am afraid it will be counterproductive and let the fish dragon encounter changing circumstances. The only way is to play the next game, trap the fish dragon and let it wander in the heart, unable to fly into the sky on the clouds. This is the most difficult solution.

The Lord of Daming Palace continued, "So the Yin-Yang School determined the fate and found the person who would harm your mother's fate forty years ago, that is, your father. They also named your father 'Capturing the Dragon'. The bald monk determined the cause and effect and sent a heavenly book, which made your mother break the precept of killing at the age of six..."

"and many more."

Zhou Tieyi interrupted, "Does Buddhism really have no compassion at all?"

The Lord of Daming Palace laughed loudly, "What kind of compassion are they talking about? In their eyes, all people in the world are suffering, and the sea of ​​suffering is endless, and they keep on repeating themselves. Killing people is just a sinful cause, and whether it will lead to evil consequences is another matter! If the Buddha was alive, I would still respect them a little, but since the Buddha is gone, Buddhism has changed a lot!"

"Don't we Taoists care?"

"How can you prevent thieves from thinking about you? Especially these thieves are the biggest thieves in the world!"

Zhou Tieyi pondered for a moment, not caring about winning or losing the game, and continued to make moves as he should, "So just go with the flow."

"Of course we can go with the flow. In order to trap our Taoist fish dragon, they can't trap us if they give us less."

"When your mother came down the mountain, she met your father. It took a total of one year and nine months. Guess how many tribulations they went through before your mother's determination to pursue the Dao became unstable and she fell in love. During that time, she was pregnant with your brother."

The Lord of Daming Palace put down the chess pieces and counted on his fingers, "The bald donkey opened the Yellow Spring Road and led them to the Wangchuan River, which determined their love for three lifetimes. The military strategist built a floating bridge to the barren mountain. They went through all kinds of hardships, but their love was stronger than gold. The Confucianists gave them a pass to go to the Imperial Academy and set the etiquette of human relations. She got pregnant with your brother, and the bamboo pole in your hand came from the Imperial Academy!"

"As for the other bits and pieces of things that tested people's hearts, I couldn't figure them out, so your mother was also confused. In the end, the emperor sealed the matter with a marriage certificate, and trapped my Taoist Yulong in the Zhou Mansion in Tianjing for more than 20 years."

This protagonist's script is really not suitable for human beings.

Zhou Tieyi complained in his heart.

"Then how did the Heavenly Master of Xuandu Mountain bring this dragon back to life?"

"It's not difficult."

The Lord of Daming Palace smiled and said, "My Taoist sect is not good at other things, but it is good at longevity. As long as you live long enough, nothing will be a problem. When your father's life is over, this love tribulation will naturally be resolved. At that time, fish and dragons will ascend to heaven, and it will be unstoppable."

Zhou Tieyi's eyes focused, "The Five Emperors' Precious Edicts"!
