Chapter 612: Spring is late, uninvited guests
The atmosphere at the table was very lively, and soon Zhao Jingfan and Yan Wushuang got drunk.
"I'm telling you, that so-called Creation Demon Ancestor was just a matter of one sword!" Yan Wushuang glared and laughed, "I've avenged what even my father couldn't!"
Zhao Jingfan's eyes were hazy, and his tone was disdainful: "Is this your revenge? Isn't this the power of the sword formation?"
After saying that, he looked at Zheng Fa again and held up two fingers: "Zheng Fa, there are two things about you that I most... admire."
Zheng Fa was stunned. Zhao Jingfan was a very arrogant person. It was not easy for him to express his admiration clearly. It was very profound.
I guess this guy won't admit this when he wakes up.
"First..." Zhao Jingfan pointed at Senior Sister Zhang, "When I first met Senior Sister Zhang, I was terrified. How dare you..."
He didn't finish his words, but he smiled a smile that everyone understood.
Now Zheng Fa believed that Zhao Jingfan was really drunk.
"The second one... is... is the Jiushan Sect." Zhao Jingfan lay on the table and murmured, "Jiushan Sect, yours, our Jiushan Sect, how wonderful it is."
"Why can't everyone just be nice and let you do what you like?"
"Leiyin Temple, Lu Yao..."
Zhao Jingfan seemed to be very drunk and his speech was incoherent, but Zheng Fa could hear what he wanted to say.
He took a sip of wine, looked into the distance, and before he knew it, he also became drunk.
When he opened his eyes again, he was lying on Senior Sister Zhang's bed, with plain white curtains and warm bedding.
"woke up?"
When he heard Senior Sister Zhang's voice, Zheng Fa turned around and saw Senior Sister sitting on a low couch, practicing. He didn't know how long she had been there.
Zheng Fa sat up, put his feet on the edge of the bed, and supported the quilt with his hands. He smiled and said, "I haven't felt this relaxed in a long time."
"Tired?"
In front of Senior Sister Zhang, Zheng Fa never concealed his feelings and smiled bitterly: "A little bit."
He is not the type of person who is aggressive and competitive. He is even a bit of a homebody and likes to do his own things.
Others would probably be shocked and even envious when they saw him leading the Jiushan Sect to attack and destroy the once powerful Haori Mountain and snatch the Hongmeng Purple Qi.
But for him, he was indeed more tired than proud - Zhao Jingfan knew him very well.
Therefore, he finally let go completely and just wanted to get drunk.
Coming back to her senses, Senior Sister Zhang looked at him quietly, without saying a word, yet it seemed as if she had said a lot.
Zheng Fa smiled, briefly recovering from his slightly depressed mood, and looked at Senior Sister Zhang: "Senior Sister, how far are you from achieving Dao Fruit?"
"It's almost there," Senior Sister Zhang replied. "I'm planning to merge the Xiantian Bagua and the Nine Chapters Array. I'm starting to see some progress, so I'll just have to work on it. There's no rush."
"We can use the Tongjian to complete the ritual."
Opportunities like Zheng Fa's are hard to come by, and they can't bring disaster to the entire Xuanwei like Lu Yao did.
However, the coverage of Tongjian is already very large, and the "Foundation-Building Method of the Way of Talismans" improved by Senior Sister Zhang is practiced by everyone in Jiushan Sect. If the ordinary people in Jiushan Sect are added, Senior Sister Zhang's audience is rare in ancient and modern times.
Over the past hundred years, Jiushan Sect has been promoting education, the most basic of which is mathematics. If we have to say, Senior Sister Zhang, as the mother of mathematics in Jiushan Sect, almost all ordinary people who have received education are her audience.
"Starting from Senior Sister, the audience of the Nine Mountain Sect cultivators is one of the practitioners of the method he created, and the other is the mortals whose lives have been changed because of him."
Zheng Fa also attaches great importance to Senior Sister Zhang's testimony. In addition to the relationship between the two, Senior Sister Zhang is more representative than himself. Senior Sister Zhang's success can further prove that the Jiushan Sect's path is feasible.
"In this way, once a cultivator creates a more excellent method, other cultivators can also switch to cultivation through the Huangting Sutra, and it will naturally be easier for them to achieve enlightenment in the future."
That being said, it seems like the impact factor has been materialized...
Senior Sister Zhang nodded gently and added, "The two are actually different. The one with more mortals among its audience is more inclined towards the divine way. The one that is more inclined towards cultivators is the immortal way."
Zheng Fa felt that it made sense, but he just felt lazy all over, unwilling to think deeply, and even didn't want to practice.
After achieving Dao Fruit, cultivation is not that useful in improving one's cultivation.
He walked around the yard a few times and sent a message to his two disciples, asking them to come over.
When Gu Chang and Mu Qingyan arrived together, Yuan Xiaoniao was already chattering with Senior Sister Zhang in the yard.
Zheng Fa, sitting nearby, smiled upon seeing his two apprentices, his tone tinged with guilt. "I've been too busy lately to teach you. I'm truly derelict in my duty..."
Deep down, he might prefer to be a teacher.
"We have already been deeply grateful to our Master..."
Gu Chang said hurriedly.
Mu Qingyan nodded repeatedly, but was speechless. Whether in her "past life memories" or in the Qingmu Sect, she had never seen a teacher apologize to a disciple.
"The victory in the battle of Haori Mountain and the Hongmeng Purple Qi are inseparable from your contributions."
Zheng Fa looked at his two disciples and felt very proud.
Mu Qingyan's research helped Jiushan Sect to block the Gu God.
Gu Chang is even more amazing. His intelligent network structure became the most critical part of the paper on creation of human beings.
Facing Zheng Fa's praiseful gaze, Gu Chang and others couldn't help but laugh.
"I've achieved Dao Fruit, so I've had some free time recently." Zheng Fa's words carried a hint of compensation. "If you have any questions about cultivation, I'm here to answer them."
"yes!"
Gu Chang and Mu Qingyan expressed their gratitude, but what puzzled them was that after hearing this, Yuan Xiaoniao immediately flew out of the yard.
Zheng Fa and Zhang Taishang also stood up and walked slowly out of the courtyard.
The two looked at each other, confused, and followed forward.
Zheng Fa and the others seemed to have discussed it in advance. They flew out of Ziweiyuan and landed on a meadow in the mortal world of Jiushan Realm.
The clear river water flows down from the mountain, hitting the rocks, making a gurgling and tinkling sound.
The mountains are full of flowers, with orioles singing and butterflies dancing. From a distance, it looks like a colorful oil painting.
Zheng Fa sat cross-legged on the green grass, feeling so light and airy that even the tips of the grass didn't bend.
He nodded to Gu Chang and the others, motioning them to sit down.
Gu Chang and the others found it a little curious. Sitting opposite Zheng Fa, they couldn't help but look around.
Yuan Xiaoniao took out a barbecue grill from his storage bag, stood by the river, and held a fishing rod in his hand, apparently preparing to catch and grill the fish right after he had caught them.
Senior Sister Zhang leaned against a rock by the river, looked at Zheng Fa with a smile, took out her jade flute and put it to her lips.
Amid the sound of the jade flute, Gu Chang and the others felt their minds relax, and unknowingly, they expressed the doubts that had accumulated over the past few days.
Zheng Fa would say what he knew, and if he didn’t know, he would look at Senior Sister Zhang.
Sometimes Yuan Xiaoniao would also interject a few words.
Gu Chang and Mu Qingyan often draw inferences from one example and come up with their own inspiration, and Zheng Fa also listens attentively.
Although it was called guidance, Zheng Fa intentionally turned it into a discussion.
Before they knew it, both Gu and Chang felt that their previous doubts had disappeared, and they had gained a lot of inspiration and gained a lot.
Seeing their satisfied faces, Zheng Fa couldn't help but smile. As if remembering something, he asked, "I haven't had a proper chat with you since I accepted you as my disciple."
Gu Chang and Mu Qingyan looked at Zheng Fa, somewhat puzzled.
"You two have both reached the Nascent Soul stage. Do you have any thoughts on your future paths?"
Seeing the two of them looking hesitant, as if they didn't know how to start, Zheng Fa simply asked Senior Sister Yuan, "Senior Sister Yuan, what do you say?"
Senior Sister Yuan, who was grilling fish, looked up, wiped her saliva, and chuckled, "Daotu? What Daotu?"
"I said yes, what are your wishes and ambitions."
"A wish." Senior Sister Yuan put down the grilled fish in her hand, her expression serious. She fell into deep thought, looking somewhat solemn.
Everyone waited quietly, even Senior Sister Zhang put down her jade flute.
Senior Sister Yuan's eyes were determined: "I hope I can go fishing with you and my brother in the future!"
Everyone was speechless, and Senior Sister Yuan slowly lowered her head.
Zheng Fa looked at Gu Chang and Mu Qingyan again.
Gu Chang pursed his lips, thought for a moment, and said, "I want to continue my research on the spiritual intelligence system."
Zheng Fa nodded slightly.
"I want to know what the differences are between people and how intelligence arises." Gu Chang seemed to have been thinking for a long time. "I like staying in the lab, simulating various intelligent networks and seeing all kinds of possibilities."
Zheng Fa smiled, an expression of approval on his face, and looked at Mu Qingyan again.
Mu Qingyan blushed and said softly, "I... I also like to study pharmacy."
"Like it too?"
"I... I don't have as strong a heart as my brother."
Mu Qingyan looked a little ashamed, but Zheng Fa also understood that Mu Qingyan's experience was a bit bizarre and her thoughts were much more complicated. Compared to Gu Chang, it would be difficult for her to settle down as a researcher.
Zheng Fa was a little surprised: "You want to be the head of Jiushan?"
"Disciple doesn't dare! Senior Brother should inherit." Mu Qingyan said hurriedly, "Disciple originally came from Qingmu Sect, so I don't dare to covet the position of Sect Leader. I just... I just want to do more for the sect."
She glanced at Zheng Fa, as if afraid that he wouldn't believe her, and explained, "Disciple... I'm afraid Xuanwei will turn into the person in the dream again."
Gu Chang smiled and said, "If Master lets Junior Sister be the Sect Leader, I'll be relieved."
Mu Qingyan was stunned and turned to look at Gu Chang. She saw that this senior brother had a sincere expression on his face, as if he really didn't want to take over the position of the head.
Seeing her surprise, Gu Chang said earnestly: "Junior sister, the position of the head is really too heavy for me. My mind is not as strong as yours..."
Mu Qingyan finally believed it. After all, the current leader of Jiushan Sect was extremely powerful.
Seeing that they were still relatively harmonious, Zheng Fa smiled and shook his head: "I won't make the final decision on the next leader position."
Mu Qingyan was stunned.
"Qingyan, it doesn't matter that you were born in the Qingmu Sect. If you want to become the Sect Master, you can't just rely on your status as my disciple."
"yes!"
Mu Qingyan smiled happily, and Gu Chang also said, "I will help my junior sister."
Zheng Fa was indifferent. He also had certain plans for the next generation of inheritance of the sect.
On the one hand, he would not follow the complete master-disciple inheritance and force the position of the headmaster to remain in his lineage.
On the other hand, he would not stop Mu Qingyan's ambition for the sake of selflessness, and even encouraged her ideas.
Seeing what Zheng Fa meant, Mu Qingyan's expression became even more lively. Suddenly, she boldly asked, "What about you, Master?"
"I?"
"What are your wishes for the future?"
"Me?" Zheng Fa thought for a moment and suddenly said, "I'm thinking the same thing as Senior Sister Yuan right now."
"well?"
Senior Sister Yuan, who was grilling fish quietly on the side, suddenly looked up, her eyes shining, at Zheng Fa.
"With two or three close friends and disciples at my side, the spring days are late and there is nothing else to do."
…
But Zheng Fa's wish is just a wish after all.
He didn't have time to rest before the visiting card from the Glass Buddha flew into his hands.
In the Heavenly Palace, the leaders of the Jiushan Sect looked at a name card that was emitting Buddha's light, and their expressions were somewhat solemn.
"An uninvited guest..." sighed Uncle Pang.
Everyone's expressions were unclear.
Everyone knows that Leiyin Temple wants the Hongmeng Purple Qi. This Daluo Dharma Assembly is actually very tricky for Jiushan Sect.
Yun Wuji in the hall had a somewhat shrinking expression on his face. He was probably the one who was most reluctant to have Leiyin Temple visit him.
Zheng Fa held the visiting card in his hand and looked at the worried people in the hall. He cast aside his leisurely mood of the past few days and said with a resolute expression:
"Let's meet first."
His idea was actually very simple. No matter who it was, they could talk. What's more, since the Human Liuli Buddha dared to brave the Zhuxian Sword Formation and enter the Jiushan Realm, their Jiushan Sect would not even dare to meet him.
Two days later, the Glazed Buddha and his entourage finally arrived at the Nine Mountains Realm.
There were eleven people in the group, including a glass Buddha, two true immortal Bodhisattvas, and eight Arhats. They stood together, and the Buddha's light was vast and mighty.
Even in the mortal world of the Nine Mountains Realm, one could see the golden light covering half of the sky.
The Nine Mountains Realm has never had so many powerful cultivators come here, and even the boundary wall seems a little transparent.
"Master Zheng."
The glazed Buddha clasped his hands together towards Zheng Fa and greeted him from afar. There was a golden light in his eyes, as if he was sizing up Zheng Fa's background.
"Welcome the Glazed Buddha to our sect." Zheng Fa bowed from afar and welcomed the Glazed Buddha and his entourage into the Heavenly Palace of Ziweiyuan.
After a group of people said some words that they had long admired but were extremely meaningless, the Glass Buddha finally revealed the purpose of his visit.
"I think Master Zheng is also aware that I have come here on the orders of the Mahayana Buddha to invite you to the Leiyin Temple to participate in the Daluo Dharma Assembly."
"Why did you invite me?"
Although Zheng Fa had some guesses in his mind, he still asked directly.
"The Mahayana Buddha once said that the purpose of the Daluo Dharma Assembly is to establish the mind of heaven and earth and to establish laws and regulations for the path of immortality."
"Firstly, this is a matter concerning the entire Xuanwei Immortal Dao. The Jiushan Sect is a major force in Xuanwei, so how could they be absent?"
"Secondly, this also requires Hongmeng Purple Qi..."
"Hongmeng Purple Qi belongs to my Jiushan Sect." Uncle Huang was angry and said directly, "Whether we need it or not, and whether to give it to us or not, it is not up to you to decide."
The Glazed Buddha smiled, seemingly unconcerned with Uncle Huang's transformation into a spirit. He continued as if he hadn't heard anything, "I have come here to ask for another favor."
"What request?"
"I, the future Buddha of Leiyin Temple, White Lotus Bodhisattva, was murdered by a villain." The Glazed Buddha turned around and stared at the seated Yun Wuji. "Please, Master Zheng, let me take this man back to Leiyin Temple and execute him according to the law."
Yun Wuji turned pale and felt uneasy when being stared at by the Golden Immortal Liuli Buddha.
