Chapter 148 Time flies, I, Yu Haitao, once left my name on Wanmin Umbrella

early morning!

Xuan Yang walked out of the house refreshed and looked at the blue sky.

"Hey, why does the sky feel so much bluer than before?"

Without thinking much, he went to chat with his junior brother. He arrived at the place where his junior brother used to live with him. He knocked on the door, but there was no response. He opened the door and found the bedding was neatly laid out there, with no signs of anyone having slept in it.

Xuan Yang walked to the bed, bent down, looked for something with his eyes pressed against the bed, and moved his nose to sniff.

His expression was solemn, then incredulous.

"Junior brother, he really didn't sleep, but where did he go so early in the morning?"

Last night he was so absorbed in having a great battle with his master's wife that he completely forgot about his junior brother. It was not until the early morning that he remembered that his junior brother had returned.

A piece of letter paper pressed under the kettle caught my attention, so I picked it up and took a look.

"Brother Xuanyang, I have something important to attend to, so I won't stay for long. The friendship between us is in my heart. I hope you and your wife are well. I have nothing else to leave behind, but some magic. I hope you can study hard, expand Chaotian Taoist Temple, and contribute to the world..."

Xuan Yang put down the letter paper, looked at the booklet beside him and took a look.

Table of Contents: "Soul Refining Technique", "Curse-Bearing Technique", "Corpse Refining Technique", "Swallowing Clouds and Exhaling Mist", "Wooden Stake Technique", "Tiangang Five Thunder Technique", "Finger of Magic Power", "The Ultimate Blood Secret", "Four Symbols Formation", "Forbidden Magic Formation", "The Various Advanced Colors and Perceptions of Taoist Body".

“Junior brother, wuwuwuwu…”

Xuan Yang's eyes filled with tears. He quickly came to the door and shouted, "Junior brother, where are you? Why did you leave for no reason? I can't bear to see you go. Come back and stay with me."

The voice was transmitted in the Taoist temple, and each call was filled with sincere emotion.

No echo.

"Is he really gone?" Xuan Yang muttered. In case his junior brother played hide-and-seek with him, he looked everywhere again. After making sure that there was no one, he rushed to the room.

"Oh, that's great, what's that in your hand?"

"The spells that Junior Brother left behind make me dizzy. I don't have time to practice these things now. Let's take advantage of such a good day and try again."

Xuan Yang threw it casually, and the booklet recording Xuan Dian's practice method was inserted into the bookcase.

Then the sound of the wooden bed shaking, creaking and panting could be heard from the room.

Half a month later, in the Northern Territory.

Lin Fan sat cross-legged next to the Demon Eye, as wisps of pure demonic energy flowed out of the Demon Eye and merged into his body.

According to Xuan Dian's previous habits, he would not absorb it so slowly, but instead took big gulps of it, allowing the demonic energy to spread throughout his body. But now he was very steady, absorbing the demonic energy, then refining it in his body and integrating it into his lungs.

Now the three most powerful auras among the five energies entangled in him are Taoism, Buddhism and Devil.

After an unknown amount of time, Lin Fan slowly opened his eyes. He felt calm and peaceful inside, and was not affected by the evil spirit.

The sealed Gu Xingyun naturally felt that Xuan Dian was absorbing the demonic energy in the Demon Eye, and roared angrily: "Xuan Dian, you guys, who are so righteous, are obviously coveting my Demon Eye. Damn it, you deserve to die."

Lin Fan said softly: "Gu Xingyun, cherish your time. Once I have completely absorbed your demonic energy, it will be time for you to be executed."

"Haha." Gu Xingyun couldn't help but laugh. "How ridiculous! You want to absorb the magic energy of the magic eye? Do you really think you can do it? Don't daydream. It's impossible. I want to see how long you can hold on."

Lin Fan ignored Gu Xingyun, but left the Demon Eye and walked in the Northern Territory to kill those demons and use merit points to improve his spells.

As for worldly affairs, he will not get involved.

Monks only need to slay demons and eliminate evil, and now that most of them have been slain, there is naturally no need for them to show off their prowess in front of people frequently.

When night fell, Lin Fan returned to the house built on the border of the Northern Territory. The three demons stayed here to practice. For them, wherever the Taoist priest was, they would naturally be there.

If you want to always follow the Taoist priest, you must not hold him back and you must have the corresponding level of Taoism.

Especially Miaomiao, she felt that she was still the clan leader, so she must work hard and practice diligently, and must not be lazy.

Day after day, half a year passed.

Lin Fan's daily schedule was very stable. The first thing he did after waking up was to go to the Demon Eye to absorb the demonic energy, and then listen to Gu Xingyun's unwilling roar.

After finishing absorbing the demonic energy, he continued to roam in the Northern Territory and kill the demons.

During this period, his realm did not improve. Instead, he used his own Tao heart and the golden blood given by the master to transform the evil spirit, preventing the evil spirit from running rampant in his body and losing his mind.

Of course, given his current situation, if he absorbed the resentful and evil energy that had been condensed in the Huangtian Array for hundreds of years, he would not lose his mind.

When he calmed down and reflected on himself, he deeply understood that he had many flaws and his understanding of the Dharma had not reached a very high level.

This was also the real practice he had started since he came down the mountain.

There is no trace of Xuan Dian in the world, but his legend is spread everywhere.

The storytellers were scattered all over the place, and whenever people gathered together, they would tell the stories of Taoist Priest Xuan Dian. Some storytellers were really talented and began to expand on the stories of Taoist Priest Xuan Dian, adding some small stories. These small stories were all adapted from real life and were spread only with the permission of the people who were helped by the Taoist Priest.

Taoist Priest Xuan Dian's prestige reached its peak due to the spread of storytellers.

Many people knew what Taoist Master Xuan Dian had done.

The wonderful life they have now is all created by Taoist Master Xuan Dian who chopped and killed them with his axe.

In a county town.

"Brother Rong, I told you, the Taoist priest will definitely succeed, and he didn't cause you any trouble, which means Brother Rong has turned over a new leaf and will be fine." Shan Gui was in high spirits as he listened to the storyteller's narration about the Taoist priest's deeds, and he turned to look at Li Rong.

Li Rong did not say anything, but he felt extremely peaceful in his heart. He had never thought that he would really see such a world.

Taoist Master Xuan Dian actually wiped out Wuwang and Huangtian Sect.

Today, under Jiang Zhengduan's arrangement, public security in various places is surprisingly good and is beginning to get back on track. The bad guys that were once seen everywhere are now rare, not to mention the scenes in the city where people draw their swords and fight each other over a disagreement.

Too many heroes appeared.

For example, there is a knight who has become quite famous in recent months, named Li Dabing. He wiped out a bandit nest of nearly a hundred people with just his sword. He became famous in the martial arts world and was called Li Jianshen by the world.

There is also a knight named Ouyang Haoyun, who also carries a giant sword on his back and can be called the Sword God. However, Ouyang Haoyun's physical body is quite powerful, and his boxing skills are even more impressive, so he is also called Ouyang Fist God.

Some people think that Ouyang Haoyun should be the number one martial artist in the world.

There are also many practitioners who are quite famous.

Taoist Ma Yi, Taoist Qingmu, and others all began to travel around the world, doing many good deeds and were deeply loved and respected by the people.

Everything is moving in the right direction.

Three years later, in the Northern Territory.

"Master, are you serious?" The sealed Gu Xingyun's voice trembled and he really started to get scared.

He has a connection with the Demon Eye, so he can naturally feel the Demonic Aura of the Demon Eye gradually weakening, and the speed of weakening is very fast, basically every few days.

After finishing refining the demonic energy, Lin Fan smiled and said, "I have been absorbing demonic energy here for several years. You only now realize that I am serious about this. You are right. The demonic energy in the demonic eye is indeed strong and it is very easy to make people fall into the demonic path. But what I have the most right now is time. There is no rush for us to take our time."

During these years, in the process of refining the demonic energy, his Tao heart has become more and more stable.

The refined demonic energy was integrated into the lungs and merged with the metal energy, one of the five elements, and great progress was made.

The merit points gained from slaying the Demon from the Northern Territory were not wasted.

He raised the magic he had learned to perfection.

The Five Elements Classic, the Five Thunder Methods of Tiangang, the Mana Finger, the Red Sun Destroying Pupil, and the Five Reverse Tribulations that Destroy the Purple Sun Body were all brought to perfection.

He was not in a hurry to further improve his spells and magical powers.

Instead, the wisest choice is to first completely integrate the demonic energy in the demon eye into the lungs, increase one's own cognition, and then be promoted at the moment of reaching the peak.

Gu Xingyun's momentum was a little weaker, not as strong as in the first few years. "Master, please give me a chance. There's no need to kill me all."

Lin Fan said softly, "I never discriminate against demons, but I can clearly see the difference between good and evil. If I leave you alone, who else in this world can subdue you except me and the master?"

"Master, can't I change it?"

"Then I killed your whole family and said I was wrong. Can you still forgive me?"

"Yes, I can definitely forgive it. It's a great thing to admit one's mistakes and improve. There is no one who has not done anything wrong. I can definitely forgive him." Gu Xingyun said hurriedly. As for face, he didn't care about it at all.

Lin Fan shook his head. "How shameless! People of each era have their own mission. The fact that you have survived until now means that no one in the previous era could take you down. But now that I have appeared, I have the responsibility to eliminate the remnants left over from the previous era and not leave you to the people of the next era."

Gu Xingyun was silent. Knowing that Xuan Dian's determination to kill him would not change, he didn't know what to say.

He couldn't even do anything now.

Lin Fan continued to practice. The demonic energy entered his body and was instantly transformed, flowing into his lungs. The fusion of gold, one of the five elements, and the demonic energy formed a force that was extremely overbearing.

He always had an idea in his mind, which was based on the theory of One Qi transforming into Three Pure Ones.

What he was thinking about was the incarnation of the five internal organs outside the body.

He had the idea, but given the current situation, he felt that he could not do it. It was too difficult, and he could not achieve this with his current level of skill.

However, he is willing to try, and only after laying a solid foundation can he have the possibility of trying.

Many years have passed, and the seasons should have alternated between cold and hot. However, the Northern Territory is quite different. All four seasons are the same, and no seasonal changes can be felt here.

The only change is that the demonic energy covering the northern region has become much weaker.

The suppressed Gu Xingyun fell silent and stopped talking.

It also provided Lin Fan with a quiet environment for practice. The demons in the Northern Territory were rarely seen and were basically wiped out by Xuan Dian. For the demons in the Northern Territory, they had never thought about what it would feel like if the sky fell down.

But over the years, they have felt it deeply.

When the figure in the Yin-Yang Taoist robe appears, the sky will fall and the earth will collapse. No matter how you hide, the fate will be the same.

On this day, Lin Fan, who was sitting cross-legged next to the Demon Eye, frowned tightly, and two kinds of light appeared on his forehead. A dark demonic energy seemed to want to occupy his forehead, but then, another mighty breath emerged, completely suppressing the demonic energy that wanted to emerge.

Tao gives birth to one, one gives birth to two, two gives birth to three, and three gives birth to all things. All things carry the yin and embrace the yang, and the collision of qi makes them harmonious.

Tao follows nature, and all things are compatible.

The moment the originally violent and agitated demonic energy merged into the lungs, the sharpness of the golden energy and the ferocity of the demonic energy all became docile, and gathered steadily on the ground without any signs of riot.

Lin Fan opened his eyes, a golden light flashed, and then disappeared.

Suddenly, his heart moved, and the Umbrella of All People on his back seemed to sense something. He stood up and walked towards the outside of the Northern Territory.

The sealed Gu Xingyun stared at Xuan Dian silently. He found that Xuan Dian’s Taoism had become more and more unfathomable over the years, and the aura he exuded was extremely terrifying.

Bashan County.

The family was attending a funeral, and the children and grandchildren in front of the hall were crying loudly, all with sad faces.

The people on the street looked at the Yu Mansion and sighed, feeling sad for the passing of Master Yu.

Mr. Yu is a kind-hearted local master who started his business by opening an umbrella shop. With the coming of the new dynasty, earth-shaking changes took place in various places, and Mr. Yu seized this opportunity to turn a small umbrella shop into a chain store, with three in Bashan County, not to mention how many stores he opened in other counties.

But Mr. Yu was truly kind-hearted. He was not unkind because of his wealth. Instead, he would share the money he earned with orphans and widows every year.

Everyone says that Mr. Yu has a kind heart like a bodhisattva.

But Mr. Yu never admitted that he was kind-hearted. Instead, he proudly said that the Taoist priest promised me that after I died, he would come personally to collect my soul into his umbrella and have it practice beside him.

So I have to do good deeds and accumulate virtue so that the Taoist priest can see my actions.

Of course, no one believed these words, not even Yu Haitao's family. Who doesn't know Taoist Master Xuan Dian? He is an immortal. Although you, Master Yu, are a good person, how could you be related to Taoist Master Xuan Dian?

In the front hall of the Yu family, many people came voluntarily to pay their respects, and the local county magistrate also came to burn incense.

The county magistrate walked up to the family members and said, "Alas, Mr. Yu lived in troubled times in the first half of his life, but fortunately he enjoyed the blessings of the new era in the second half of his life and did not suffer much."

The family members nodded with tears in their eyes, thanking the county magistrate for coming despite his busy schedule.

6◇9◇Book◇Bar

The people present looked at Master Yu lying in the coffin. If there was one thing that Master Yu had done that made him the biggest joke, it would be what he had mentioned.

And this matter can only be proved after Mr. Yu's death.

At this time, a young child nearby said in a childish voice, "Grandpa will practice with the Taoist priest after he dies. Grandpa often told me that the day he looks forward to the most in his life is the day of his death. He also often asked me to ask him, when will you die? Grandpa always said that thanks to his grandson, it should be soon."

As soon as these words were spoken, the scene fell into silence.

Everyone looked at the child stupidly.

The corners of the Yu family’s mouths twitched. This...this.

"Evil son, what nonsense are you talking about? Today is the day of your grandfather's funeral, how can you talk nonsense?" Yu Ren scolded angrily and raised his hand to slap this unfilial son.

The child was so frightened that he hid behind the painting, holding his neck high and shouting, "I'm not talking nonsense. Grandpa said this. I believe in Grandpa the most. Grandpa said that the abbot had visited our umbrella shop before and used our bamboo to make an umbrella. The shape of the umbrella is right in the painting."

"I think you are looking for a fight." Yu Ren was angry. If this got out, it would be a joke.

It didn't matter if they were laughed at, but now that their father was dead, how could they bear to be laughed at in gossip after his death?

The more he thought about it, the angrier he got, and he was about to hit the child.

Everyone at the scene looked at each other in bewilderment.

Who knows whether this is true or not.

Maybe it's true, maybe it's false, but it doesn't matter, because Mr. Yu...

Suddenly, a friendly voice was heard.

"The child is right. I did promise his grandfather to come here today to keep the appointment."

In an instant, the mourning hall became extremely quiet.

Everyone's eyes turned to the direction where the sound came from.

A young man in a yin-yang Taoist robe stepped over the threshold and walked towards the mourning hall at a leisurely pace.

Everyone was shocked, their eyes widened.

Some people place the portrait of Taoist Master Xuan Dian in their homes and kneel before him day and night, having already engraved his appearance in their minds.

Now I see the Taoist priest in front of me.

It instantly merges with the memories in my mind.

He had an axe on his waist.

Carrying the umbrella of all people.

Exactly the same. Absolutely exactly the same.

Everyone was trembling with excitement. Taoist Master Xuan Dian, who had disappeared for more than ten years, actually appeared.

The county magistrate stood there with his mouth slightly open, as if he had been cast under a spell.

This is especially true for the Yu family.

The old man used to talk about this matter all the time, and they were tired of hearing it. They just thought that their old man was really good at bragging, but that was it. They just had to cooperate with the old man and make him happy.

Lin Fan walked past the child and gently touched the child's head with a smile on his face, "I am here to take your grandfather away."

The child's eyes were shining with worship.

Lin Fan walked in front of the coffin, and the Umbrella of All People behind him floated in the air. Everyone looked up and saw the umbrella unfolded.

"Yu Haitao, the soul appears."

While performing the soul refining technique, Yu Haitao's soul gradually changed from illusory to solid, and the people around him saw this scene so clearly.

When his soul just condensed, Yu Haitao was in a daze, but gradually he woke up.

"Master." When Yu Haitao saw the Taoist priest, he shouted excitedly.

"father."

"grandfather."

The Yu family was equally excited and surprised, but Yu Haitao didn't even look at them. Instead, he knelt in front of the Taoist priest and said, "Thank you for coming to extradite me."

Lin Fan said: "I will naturally fulfill my promise to you. If you have anything else to say to your family, please say it now. I have to take you away."

Yu Haitao had nothing to say to his family. He just walked up to his grandson and held him in his arms. "Grandson, grandpa is going to practice with the Taoist priest. You have to study hard in the future and don't do bad things, otherwise grandpa will not forgive you."

"Grandpa, I understand." The child nodded obediently.

Yu Haitao turned his head and licked his face and said, "Master, do you think my grandson can leave his name on the umbrella?"

How can you be a grandfather like this?

He actually hoped that his grandson would die.

"Okay, in today's world, Wanmin Umbrella doesn't need to leave its name anymore." Lin Fan said.

When Yu Haitao faced the Taoist priest, he did not have the demeanor of Master Yu at all. "Yes, yes, the world is so good now, there is really no need to leave a name."

Then Yu Haitao looked at the people who came forward, clasped his fists and said, "Thank you all for coming to see me off, but I still want to ask, am I bragging?"

“Ga ga ga ga…”

Lin Fan couldn't bear to watch it anymore, so he pointed his finger and his soul merged into the Umbrella of All People. The floating umbrella closed and fell from the sky into the Taoist priest's hands.

Lin Fan turned to leave, and the local county magistrate hurriedly said, "Master, I am the magistrate of Xiabashan County. I pay my respects to you, Master."

Lin Fan stopped, turned around and nodded with a smile, "I'm Xuan Dian, is Jiang Zhengduan okay?"

The county magistrate said, "Good, very good, Master Jiang is in very good health."

Hearing this, Lin Fan began to wonder if Shi Shanqian had given Jiang Zhengduan a life extension to allow him to live longer. Although he had used Qingmu Qi to regulate the other person's body before, it was impossible for it to have such an effect.

"Just be strong. Let me see how you are."

Lin Fan opened the Eye of Merit, and a glow seemed to appear in his eyes.

The county magistrate was extremely nervous and felt his hands and feet go cold, as if everything in his body was seen through. He had heard that Taoist Master Xuan Dian could see through good and evil at a glance.

During this short period of time, he sorted out in his mind everything he had done since he was a child.

For example, if you ever snatched food from a dog as a child, it doesn’t count.

I don’t know why, but I always feel that the Taoist priest is very familiar, as if I have seen him before.

Lin Fan smiled and gently patted the county magistrate's shoulder, "I didn't expect you to grow up so big. That's great, really great."

The county magistrate was somewhat confused by the Taoist's words.

It sounded as if the Taoist priest had seen him before.

Lin Fan didn't say much and walked out the door.

The thoughtful county magistrate mustered up the courage to ask, "Master, have I seen you before?"

Lin Fan didn't stop, but laughed cheerfully, "Of course I have seen it. You were a big eater of sesame cakes when you were little."

The county magistrate stood there in a daze.

It was as if a door in my mind was kicked open, and those vague memories came flooding back.

Soon, he remembered.

When he was a child, he begged on the street with a group of children and was extremely hungry. It seemed that a Taoist priest had bought them some sesame cakes, and the old lady who sold sesame cakes also often helped them.

"I remember, I really remember, Taoist priest, he is Taoist priest Xuan Dian."

The county magistrate's eyes were red. The Taoist priest who had met him once and bought them sesame cakes was actually Taoist priest Xuan Dian.

Ever since he heard about the deeds of Taoist Master Xuan Dian, he had been full of admiration for him and wanted to meet him.

I didn't expect that I had seen it when I was a child.

I also got help from the Taoist priest.

As he cried, the county magistrate began to laugh.

"Master, the world we live in now is the world you have been striving to see."

He was not the only one sighing at this time.

The people of the Yu family have come back to their senses from their confusion.

"Ah? Was my father really taken away by the Taoist priest?"

"Oh my god, my Yu family really has a connection with the Taoist priest."

"Dad, you really weren't bragging."
