Chapter 167 Guan Yun Chang

Almost as soon as the title was spoken, everyone who heard it felt as if they had been struck heavily on the head. Then, just as they were feeling a mix of disbelief and uncontrollable anticipation, a sound like a dragon's roar echoed from the horizon.

A beam of cyan light shot through the air with terrifying speed.

The sharp aura was like a gale-force wind cutting across their faces.

Amidst the swirling winds, it resembled a verdant dragon.

In the blink of an eye, the blade light fell heavily, causing a surge of air that obscured everyone's vision. They could only see the light fading, transforming into a long-handled weapon. Then, everyone saw a hand slowly grip the handle, and with a metallic hum, the blade was drawn.

The sound of armor plates rubbing together was chilling and cold.

The Green Dragon Crescent Blade emerged from the air, sweeping horizontally and dispersing the air.

The Daoist with a mask covering his face stood with his left hand behind his back, not looking back. His Daoist robe fluttered, and behind him, a tall general in battle armor strode forward, as if guarding his back. The general held his weapon diagonally to the ground, his danfeng eyes (single-lidded eyes) slightly narrowed, gazing ahead.

A vast, majestic, and righteous aura swept out, blanketing the earth.

The Demon Quelling Great Emperor of the Three Realms, Divine Might Distant Zhen Tianzun, Guan Sheng Emperor.

Guan Yunchang.

Shi Guoxing slowly exhaled the breath he had been holding, rarely blurting out a sentence:

"Holy crap..."

His daughter reached out and said, "Daddy, don't swear."

Shi Guoxing didn't know how to explain to his daughter that it wasn't really a swear word. He glanced at the screen, and after a long silence, the comments exploded with "holy crap" followed by screens of "Greetings, Guan Sheng Emperor."

This was practically the only figure in Shenzhou revered by both the official and common people, respected by both sides of the law. He put his daughter down, his lips trembling slightly:

"Go, call your mother over."

The little girl pouted, "Mom won't pay attention to me."

"No, just tell her to come see a god."

"Oh, right, remember to bring three incense sticks."

He stared blankly for a while, then reached out and dialed a series of numbers, saying:

"Mom?"

"Stop looking at that Buddha statue..."

"Turn on the TV and worship the God of Wealth."

"Hey, boss."

"Stop coding. The guy we swore brotherhood to back then is here."

................

Similar scenes were playing out everywhere.

The shock was greatest for those on Dragon Tiger Mountain.

When they saw Guan Yunchang appear in front of them, there was a moment of silence. Then, the crowd that had been surrounding Master Ku Rong scattered with a rustle, their faces showing a habitual reverence. Only the monk was left alone, his face twitching slightly as he stubbornly refused to leave.

Guan Yunchang's voice was deep:

"Daoist Yuan, the day we agreed upon is still seven days away. Why did you summon Guan here suddenly?"

"Hmm? Another member of the Buddhist faith?"

Guan Yu's eyes fell on Ku Rong's face, and he gripped the Green Dragon Crescent Blade slightly, causing it to hum softly.

A murderous aura locked directly onto Ku Rong.

Before anyone could react.

He raised his hand, and the Green Dragon in his palm was about to strike down, instantly splitting the Buddhist light and landing directly on Ku Rong's shoulder. However, he held back his strength and didn't unleash it. Everyone saw that Wei Yuan had raised his hand and gently pressed the handle of the Green Dragon Crescent Blade. Wei Yuan looked at the pale-faced Ku Rong, then at the ordinary people who had come with him, and said politely:

"I wonder, can the words of Guan Sheng Emperor be trusted?"

Everyone nodded quickly, with no other thoughts in their minds.

They were simply shaken by Guan Yunchang's appearance.

They were horrified that this Daoist had raised his hand, and that Guan Sheng Emperor had actually stopped his blade.

Wei Yuan turned his head slightly and said, "General Guan, this person cannot be killed yet."

Cannot be killed yet.

Ku Rong's face was pale, and Guan Yunchang slowly nodded, saying, "In that case, Guan understands."

"For the sake of Daoist Yuan, I will spare his life for now."

The Green Dragon Crescent Blade, renowned in legends, was slowly raised.

Wei Yuan looked at Master Ku Rong and said in a calm voice:

"Then, thirty days from now, at the Buddhist Assembly, we will bring our newly revised cultivation method to discuss the Dao with you masters. At that time, we also ask everyone to bear witness."

Wei Yuan turned to look at the crowd; the last sentence was addressed to the others.

Everyone nodded repeatedly, already deciding what kind of press releases they would write later. Guan Sheng Emperor had descended to the world. If they had planned to create some fame for themselves before, they had completely abandoned the idea now. In Shenzhou, almost everyone who reached a certain age had worshipped Guan Gong.

Guan Erye had already come out.

And they were still arguing with the Buddhist faith here.

Back home, the older generation would break their spines.

Wei Yuan raised his hand and said, "Then, everyone, Dragon Tiger Mountain is a place for quiet cultivation. We won't keep you any longer."

His voice paused slightly, as if thinking of something, and he casually said, "Oh, right, don't practice the Buddhist cultivation methods for now. This is a word of advice. Even if you want to cultivate them, wait until a month later, when we see the outcome."

Everyone saw Guan Sheng Emperor beside Wei Yuan and didn't dare to take his words lightly.

They all solemnly agreed.

Wei Yuan smiled slightly. The storm that had enveloped Dragon Tiger Mountain slowly dissipated. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and walked down, following the opening in the storm. After taking only a few steps, someone suddenly cried out in alarm. Ku Rong, somewhat distracted, heard the sound and subconsciously looked up, his pupils shrinking suddenly.

Here on the mountain, the view was wide open. When they had come up the mountain, the sea of clouds had been surging.

But at this moment, they could see that the vast sea of clouds directly in front of Dragon Tiger Mountain was cut in half from the middle.

As if it had been split in two by a single blade.

Vast and magnificent.

Ku Rong felt a chill in his heart and subconsciously pressed his hand against his shoulder, his heart beating wildly.

It was…

It was the blade from just now.

If, if it hadn't been stopped…

He seemed to recall the slightly opened eyes of Guan Sheng Emperor just now, and a chill ran through his heart. He quickened his pace slightly and stumbled down Dragon Tiger Mountain.

At this moment, Guan Yunchang on the mountain had already bid farewell to Wei Yuan and disappeared.

After unleashing that blade earlier, he had already been in a weakened state. This time, he had come to assist and needed to return to continue his recovery. Wei Yuan looked at Zhang Ruosu, nodded slightly, and breathed a sigh of relief, saying, "This time, we've managed to get through it."

"The matter has been pushed to the Buddhist Assembly a month from now, to have a Dao debate and contest with the Buddhist faith."

"Speaking of which, let's put my Taiping Dao's Dao debate together with this matter."

Zhang Ruosu nodded slightly and said, "Alright."

Wei Yuan pointed to the dharma sword and said in a serious tone, "Oh, right, this sword was just acting."

"You still have to return it to me."

Zhang Ruosu smiled helplessly and flicked his sleeve, causing the sword to fall back into Wei Yuan's hand. Wei Yuan covered it with his sleeve, using the technique of the Pot Heaven to put the dharma sword away. He thought for a moment and said, "Right, Daoist Zhang, this Dao debate will probably start with me. How big of a commotion do you think I should make?"

Zhang Laodao paused and said:

"How big of a commotion?"

"Just don't let them live!"

"Make the matter as big as possible!"

"Alright, in that case, I need to borrow someone from Daoist Zhang."

"Borrow someone? Who?"

Wei Yuan looked at Zhang Ruosu with calm eyes and said in a quiet voice:

"The Black Tiger Profound Altar Marshal Zhao Gongming of the Zhengyi Sect."

…………………………

The Buddhist faith forced Dragon Tiger Mountain to retreat, and then the Buddhist and Daoist faiths set up a contest a month later.

The aftermath of this event had yet to fully develop, but Ku Rong was already feeling exhausted. He had originally intended to walk to and from the mountain, but now he no longer had the mood for it. A Buddhist lay disciple was driving him.

But even so, they were being watched by reporters.

A bunch of vans were following behind, ready to get the first-hand information at any time.

Ku Rong was helpless.

But they had started this fire of public opinion, so it was normal to get burned.

The lay disciple was comforting the high-ranking figure from the great sect. Ku Rong was not in the mood to respond and simply closed his eyes without answering. Just as the disciple driving the car was feeling a little embarrassed, something suddenly happened. On the road ahead, a tall monk wearing a gray-blue robe and carrying a bag on his back was striding forward.

His movements seemed slow, but his speed was quite fast.

In the blink of an eye, it was already too late to step on the brakes.

The lay disciple's face turned white, thinking that someone was about to die, when he suddenly realized that his car had stopped. He could only hear the roar of the engine, but it couldn't move forward even a little bit. The gray-robed monk had pressed one hand against the front of the car, and the entire back of the car was lifted up.

Yuanjue's voice was calm as he said slowly, "Get out of the car."

ps: The third update today... As for the prototype of the Buddhist faith's behavior, there are such scriptures: The Buddha said, I sent two saints to travel to Zhen Dan to transform the people. One is Lao Tzu, who is Bodhisattva Kashyapa, and the other is Confucius, who is the Scholar Bodhisattva - Song Dynasty "Wan Shan Tong Gui Ji"

Lao Tzu said, My teacher is called Buddha, who enlightens all people. The Western Ascension Sutra says, My teacher traveled to Tianzhu... Laozi's teacher's name is Sakyamuni.

Liezi said, Grand Tutor Pi of Shang asked Confucius: Master, are you a saint?

Confucius replied: Qiu has extensive knowledge and a strong memory, but he is not a saint. He asked again: Are the Three Kings saints? He replied: The Three Kings were good at using wisdom and courage, but they are not saints. He asked again: Are the Five Emperors saints? He replied: The Five Emperors were good at using benevolence and righteousness, but they are also not known to Qiu. He asked again: Are the Three Sovereigns saints? He replied: The Three Sovereigns were good at appointing people according to the times, but they are also not known to Qiu. Grand Tutor Pi was greatly shocked and said: Then who is a saint?

Confucius' expression changed and he said: Qiu has heard of a sage in the West. (Subway grandpa looking at phone face)
