Chapter 148: The Divine Manifestation
Wanwan Successor Han Tianshi Mansion.
On one side sat Zhang Zhendao and a group of high-level mages from Wanwan Tianshi Mansion, and behind them stood a group of Taoists.
On the other side sat Zhang Daojin and Lu Shisheng, with four or five Taoist priests from the Tianshi Mansion of Longhu Mountain standing behind them.
The looks from both sides were not very friendly.
Zhang Zhendao suddenly said, "Abbot Zhang, you originally said that you would ask Master Fang to come out and administer justice. I personally agree with that, but now that Master Fang is not here, there is nothing for the two of us to discuss."
Zhang Daojin was not in a hurry and smiled: "The real person's future is in Taiwan, but it doesn't mean that he is unwilling to show up."
Zhang Zhendao was stunned. "You mean, a real person should call or video chat with us to judge the case? Please forgive me for saying something unpleasant, but I want to make sure that Master Fang is indeed a real person who has attained the Tao before accepting judgment. How can calling or video chat prove Master Fang's Taoism?"
Zhang Daojin laughed and said, "Haha, that's not the case. The real person promised to come and do justice for us, so he will come in person instead of calling or video chatting."
"ah?"
“Not in person, not on the phone, or via video?”
"How can Master Fang come out in person to judge the case? Besides, we don't even know if he is really a real person."
The group of high-level magicians next to Zhang Zhendao were all puzzled.
In fact, they were not the only ones who were puzzled.
Zhang Daojin was also very confused.
In other words, he was unsure whether what Lu Shisheng said about the real person's "appearance from a distance" was true or not.
But things had come to this point, Zhang Daojin had no choice but to bite the bullet and stand up to bow to Lu Shisheng and say, "Master Lu, please come in."
Lu Shisheng stood up and returned the greeting, then turned to look at Zhang Zhendao and the other high-level masters of the Wanwan Tianshi Mansion, "Please set up the altar, and the master will use his magical powers to perform justice for you."
"What?"
"Master Fang wants to show his divine power and uphold justice from afar?"
"If he can really show his divine power from a distance, then he must be a real person."
“Will they do anything?”
Zhang Zhendao and a group of Taoists from Wanwan Tianshi Mansion were in an uproar.
Some people were extremely shocked that the real person was going to show his power remotely.
Some people also think that the Longhu Mountain Tianshi Temple is cheating.
However, based on the idea that Master Fang was most likely an enlightened person who could not be offended, the Tianshi Mansion in Wanwan quickly built an altar.
At this time, Lu Shisheng was about to go up to the altar with Fang Yi's full-length photo.
Taoist Luo, the most senior Taoist priest in Wanwan Tianshi Temple, suddenly raised his hand to stop him, "Wait, Taoist Lu."
Lu Shisheng looked at him puzzledly, "Master Luo, what do you want?"
Taoist Master Luo, who is in his eighties, said expressionlessly, "I want to check this photo of yours to see if there are any clues."
Zhang Zhendao and the other high-level magicians remained silent.
The reason why Taoist Luo did this was naturally because he had obtained the private support of the people in the Taiwan Sihan Tianshi Mansion.
Instead, what surprised them was that no one objected to Zhang Daojin and the Taoists from Longhu Mountain standing behind him.
Lu Shisheng smiled and said, "Okay."
He held out his hand and handed over the photo.
Taoist Master Luo took it and studied the photo carefully for a while.
Finally, I realized, puzzled, that this photo really did not contain any clues.
He also turned around and nodded slightly to Zhang Zhendao and the group of high-level magicians.
Zhang Zhendao and that group of high-level magicians were all extremely amazed.
Since there is no problem with the photo, could it be that Master Fang really appeared from afar?
Just when everyone was wondering, Lu Shisheng ascended the altar.
He respectfully placed Fang Yi's photo on the incense table, then stepped away, bowed his head and shouted, "Disciple Lu Shisheng, respectfully invites our master, Master Fang, to come!"
Zhang Zhendao, Zhang Daojin and more than one hundred Taoist priests present were all staring at the altar.
They all wanted to know whether Master Fang would appear in person.
Suddenly, the altar trembled slightly.
Streams of reddish-gold gas emanated from Fang Yi's photo.
Seeing such a strange sight, Zhang Zhendao was suddenly shocked.
Zhang Daojin also widened his eyes.
The two Heavenly Masters were like this, not to mention the group of high-level magicians and more than a hundred ordinary Taoists.
Everyone was slightly surprised.
Looking at this situation, could it be that Master Fang is really going to show his divine power from afar?
Just as everyone was thinking about it, red and gold gas rose rapidly and spread in the air.
Immediately afterwards, several streams of red-gold gas condensed and gradually transformed into the shape of a man at a speed visible to everyone's eyes.
I couldn't see his face clearly at first.
However, in less than a breath, the figure became lifelike.
When Zhang Daojin saw that it was Master Fang, he held his breath!
Zhang Zhendao was even more stunned!
Taoist Priest Luo and a group of high-level magicians couldn't help but gasp!
There were more than a hundred Taoists left, all of them were dumbfounded.
What no one expected was that Master Fang really appeared from afar!
In an instant, the entire Wanwan Sihan Tianshi Mansion was filled with noise.
"May the blessings of the Lord be endless!"
"Is this Master Fang?"
"A real person! It's really a real person!"
“Hiss, I have been practicing Taoism for decades, but this is the first time I have seen someone show his divine power in front of everyone!”
These were all sounds of shock.
Of course, some people have doubts.
“Is it a projector?”
"Although I didn't see where the projector was, why do I always feel like there's something fishy going on?"
As a result, the doubts have not yet subsided.
A majestic young man's voice came from midair, "I was invited by Zhang Daojin of the Longhu Mountain's Successor Han Tianshi Mansion to judge the case between the two Tianshi Mansions. If you have any objections, please feel free to tell me. I will definitely help the right side and give you some reference opinions. As for whether you accept them or not, that is another matter."
"Speak!"
"Oh my god, the real-life projection spoke!"
“This can’t be fake, right?”
"It's hard to say. Maybe it's a fixed sound that has been recorded?"
The crowd was even more shocked.
Zhang Zhendao believed it about 70% and couldn't help feeling awe in his heart.
But he wasn't completely sure yet.
After all, as the Taoist priest under his tutelage said, the projection and the sound might be fake.
Therefore, he thought carefully for a moment, took the initiative to stand up and walked to the altar, bowed deeply to the projection of the real person in the air, and then said: "Master Fang, I am Zhang Zhendao, the 64th generation of Zhang Tianshi of the Han Tianshi Mansion. I am honored to meet you this time."
Zhang Zhendao said this on purpose.
Because he knew that if it was a recorded voice, he would definitely not be able to answer fluently.
If there is no problem with normal communication, then he can be sure that the projection is indeed Master Fang appearing from afar.
Taoist Luo and others all thought this in their hearts.
So when Zhang Zhendao finished speaking, everyone pricked up their ears, wanting to hear how Master Fang would respond.
Unfortunately, they did not notice that Zhang Daojin and several Taoists from the Longhu Mountain Successor Han Tianshi Temple who were sitting opposite them had already been stunned.
Zhang Daojin and the Taoists of Longhu Mountain knew that Master Fang had extraordinary powers.
But I never thought that his supernatural powers could be so great that he could show off his divine powers in front of the people in Taiwan across the coast from Huangshan!
"Master Zhang, you are polite." Fang Yi projected a polite voice, "Because the two Heavenly Master Houses are currently competing for the position of Heavenly Master, I cannot call you Heavenly Master for the time being. I hope you can forgive me."
Zhang Zhendao continued to probe, "I can understand what you meant, but please forgive me for asking, you originally promised Zhang Daojin to come to the Sihan Tianshi Mansion for us to see you, why did you suddenly change your mind?"
Fang Yi explained, "Oh, speaking of this, I have to apologize to Taoist Zhang and my fellow Taoists from the Taiwan Si Han Tianshi Mansion. I was originally planning to come, but the birthday of Hunyuan Taichu Da Daojun enshrined in my Huangshan Taoist Temple is today, which conflicts with my schedule, so I can't come in person. So I asked my disciple Lu Shisheng to bring a few magic tools I refined to verify the request you made to Taoist Zhang Daojin before."
Although it did not sound like a recorded voice, Zhang Zhendao did not trust Zhang Daojin at all. He always felt that the other party had guessed that he would ask this question and deliberately answered with a formatted recording.
This is what everyone thinks, including Luo Zhenren.
But how can we prove that what Mr. Fang said was not a pre-recorded recording?
Zhang Zhendao suddenly had an idea and pointed to the flowers in the flowerbed not far away and said, "Master, do you think the flowers in my Tianshi Mansion are beautiful?"
Fang Yi seemed to see through the other party's intentions, and said with a dumb smile: "You want to prove whether I really manifested through the air?"
Zhang Zhendao's old face turned red.
"Nothing, I'll answer you." Fang Yi was not angry at all. "Your flower bed is planted with three kinds of flowers: bougainvillea, hollyhock and calla lily. It looks colorful, but there are too many colors, which makes people a little dazzled. I think it's messy."
As soon as these words were spoken, the whole room was in an uproar.
"Really! It's a real person!"
"The real person really showed his divine power from a distance!"
"If it's fake, he definitely wouldn't be able to see what kind of flowers we grow in Tianshi Mansion."
"Oh my God, I am so lucky to have witnessed the real person appear from afar. I am so excited!"
The Taoists at the Taiwan Sihan Tianshi Temple were all extremely excited.
Even Master Luo, who was about to check Lu Shisheng's photo at the beginning, was so excited that his eyes were filled with tears.
It has been hundreds of years since a real person appeared in the world.
Now he had the great honor of seeing a real person display his magical powers and show his divine power across the coast. The excitement was truly beyond words.
Zhang Zhendao was certain that it was indeed a real person appearing from afar, so he knelt down directly and performed the most solemn kowtow.
Taoist Master Luo and other Taoists were still making a lot of noise, but when they saw Zhang Zhendao's appearance, they came to their senses and quickly ran to the altar and knelt down.
"Welcome the Holy Master!"
"Please forgive us for our earlier rudeness and neglect of you, sir."
Although Taoist Master Luo and a group of high-level masters are old, they bow their heads more standardly than the young Taoists.
For a moment, the entire Wanwan Sihan Tianshi Mansion was filled with Taoists kneeling and bowing their heads.
The scene was so grand.
"No need to formalities, please stand up." Fang Yi projected his hand.
Zhang Zhendao, Taoist Luo and others then got up from the ground one by one and looked at the projection of Master Fang floating in the air with admiration.
Fang Yi asked with a smile, "Master Zhang Zhendao, since you have confirmed that I am indeed a real person, then there is no need for me to prove anything, right?"
Zhang Zhendao said hurriedly: "The Immortal's divine revelation is the best proof. I dare not ask the Immortal to prove anything else."
Yes, they all appeared from a distance.
Who dares to doubt your identity?
Taoist Luo and others all thought so.
But they felt quite regretful in their hearts. Although they saw the projection of the real person, it was a pity that they did not see the real person.
What’s even more regrettable is that today, apart from witnessing the real person’s divine manifestation from a distance, I’m afraid we won’t be able to see any other magical powers.
It is so difficult to see the real person, but anyone would feel regretful if they cannot see more of his magical powers.
It was just that Zhang Zhendao, Taoist Luo and other Taoist priests from the Taiwan Successor Han Tianshi Mansion did not dare to ask the Immortal Master to show them his magical powers, for fear of accidentally angering him.
Unexpectedly, just when they were filled with regret, Master Fang suddenly said, "Although you don't need me to prove anything, Master Zhang, I may use some magic tools to help you make the final decision during the judgment. Please be prepared in advance. Don't let me accidentally scare any of you with my magic tools. I will feel bad."
ah?
Are you going to use magic later?
Zhang Zhendao, Taoist Luo and other Taoists from the Tianshi Mansion of the Successor of the Han Dynasty in Taiwan all had their eyes light up.
Originally they thought that they would never be able to witness the real person's other magical powers again, and they felt extremely regretful in their hearts.
Unexpectedly, the situation took a turn for the better and I actually had the opportunity to witness the other magical powers of the real person.
Everyone was very excited.
