Chapter 1096: Heavenly Teacher
Translator: 549690339
Dragon Rearing Cicada had a courtyard in Heavenly Square City called Purple Bamboo Courtyard. This courtyard was in a quiet place in the north of the inner courtyard of Dragon Rearing Clan. It was surrounded by a purple bamboo forest and a lake. Dragon Rearing Cicada’s courtyard was surrounded by bamboo forests and a lake. Although he hadn’t returned to Heavenly Square City for many years, Dragon Rearing Clan dared not neglect this genius powerhouse of their clan. Usually, there were people guarding and cleaning the Purple Bamboo Courtyard where Dragon Rearing Cicada lived, waiting for his return.
Dragon Rearing Ruofeng and Dragon Rearing Purple sent Xia Ping ‘an all the way to the entrance of the courtyard.
“Cousin…Today…Thank you…” It was only at this moment that Rearing Dragon Zi gathered his courage and lowered his head to whisper to Xia Ping ‘an.
Today, Xia Ping ‘an had crippled the elder of Dragon Rearing Clan Hall. Dragon Rearing Zi knew that no one in the entire family would make things difficult for him in the future. During the banquet today, the people around him looked at him with a strange gaze. Some of the disciples, stewards, and elders who were usually arrogant began to look at him with pleasant expressions. Some of them even tried to curry favor with him.
It was the same for Dragon Rearing Ruofeng. Previously, everyone in the family knew that Dragon Rearing Ruofeng and Dragon Rearing Cicada had been on good terms since they were young. They were one of the few people in the Dragon Rearing family who could talk to Dragon Rearing Cicada without causing it to dislike them. Today, when Xia Ping ‘an returned, everyone realized that Dragon Rearing Cicada had such high hopes for the two of them. For the sake of Dragon Rearing Purple, he was willing to cripple an elder of Clansmen Hall. In that case, he must have treated Dragon Rearing Ruofeng well. As Xia Ping’ an’s identity changed, Dragon Rearing Wind also saw many smiles and greetings that he had never seen before.
Dragon Rearing Ruofeng also scratched his head and smiled in embarrassment. He glanced at Xia Ping ‘an as if he was asking for his opinion.” Elder Xi found me after the banquet and said that he wanted me to be the deputy city guard of Brocade Scale City to manage the mining and trade in the city. He wanted me to train myself. Cousin, look at this…Can I?”
Brocade Scale City was also the Dragon Rearing Family’s property. It could be considered as a sub-city of Heavenly Square City. It was only 800 to 900 kilometers away from Heavenly Square City. The deputy city guard was equivalent to the deputy mayor, and mining and trading were one of the most lucrative jobs in the city.
“Do you think you can do a good job as a deputy city guard?”Xia Ping ‘an asked.
Dragon Rearing Ruofeng was slightly excited and took a deep breath.” This deputy city guard actually doesn’t have many things to do, but he has a lot of power. Moreover, Brocade Scale City isn’t far from Dragon Rearing City, so there isn’t much trouble. Actually, there are people who do everything. As long as you don’t mess around in this position, there won’t be any problems. Usually, the disciples in the family would tease you and say that such a position is a fat job that has a lot of power but little power and is close to home…” 1 think 1 can do it too.”
“Then let’s go!” Xia Pingan said.
“Mm, alright.” Seeing Xia Ping ‘an nod his head, Dragon Rearing Ruofeng also became happy. His eyes shone as he looked forward to his beautiful future.
Xia Ping ‘an turned his gaze to Rearing Dragon Zi and sighed softly. He said in a serious tone,” The two of you, remember that this world is a primitive forest. Those demonic creatures with sharp fangs and claws are lurking in this forest. They will get excited when they smell blood. It’s the same inside and outside Heavenly Square City. In this forest, don’t be too docile and don’t let your wounds be easily exposed. Do you understand? This is a principle I’ve understood since I was young…”
Rearing Dragon Zi’s eyes moved. Clearly, she was touched by Xia Ping ‘an’s words. She nodded vigorously.” Cousin, I understand!”
“Don’t worry, cousin. I will work hard…” Dragon Rearing Ruofeng also nodded with a serious expression.
“Alright, it’s getting late. You guys can go back…”
“Alright, cousin, then rest early. We’ll go back!”
Dragon Rearing Wind and Dragon Rearing Purple left. When Dragon Rearing Purple Purple walked some distance away, he turned back to look. When he saw Xia Pingan still standing at the door and looking at them, he waved his hand and turned around. In a moment, the two of them disappeared behind the bamboo forest on the stone path.
After the two of them left, Xia Pingan turned around and pushed open the door behind him. He entered the Purple Bamboo Yard and activated the array in the yard. Following the Dragon Rearing Cicada’s habit, he summoned a team of armored warriors from the Immortal Army to guard the yard.
The Purple Bamboo Courtyard occupied several acres of land. It was luxurious and exquisite. There were pavilions, terraces, and pavilions. There was also a cultivation pagoda in the courtyard. Due to the habit of the Dragon Rearing Cicada, there was not a single servant in the courtyard when Xia Pingan arrived. It seemed a little deserted.
The Blessing God Boy had already walked around this place. After finding that there was no problem, Xia Pingan directly went to the secret room of the cultivation tower and took out his formation disk to set up a safety mechanism for the secret room. After that, he summoned Black Tortoise to guard him. Xia Pingan then took out the Realm Bead of ‘Zhang Daoling’ and lit a precious ten-thousand-year-old nerve-soothing incense. The entire secret room became quiet in the faint blue fragrance of the nerve-soothing incense.
The Calming Incense could calm one’s mind and make one’s consciousness clear, wisdom clear, Qi, blood, and divine power return to their original source. It could also prevent the interference of some secret techniques and prevent one from going berserk. To a certain extent, the Calming Incense could also increase the success rate of a Summoner’s fusion with the Realm Pearl.
Xia Pingan sat cross-legged with his eyes closed like a hill. He was relaxed and solemn. In the atmosphere of the Calming Incense, a wonderful change was happening in the depths of Xia Pingan’s consciousness. All the information he knew about Zhang Daoling’s life emerged bit by bit from the deepest part of his memory, connecting them together to form a three-dimensional complete memory chain. In order to successfully integrate with this Realm Pearl, Xia Pingan was confirming and closing every link in this memory chain.
Under normal circumstances, Xia Ping ‘an would not be so cautious when fusing with a Realm Pearl, nor would he need to light up the Ten Thousand Year Calming Incense. However, the Realm Pearl in his hand was an exception, so Xia Ping’ an had to treat it with caution.
As the founder of Chinese Taoism, Zhang Daoling’s life was full of legends. Many of these legends could not be interpreted from the perspective of historical research and academic research.
Legend had it that after Zhang Daoling was born as Zhang Liang, his mother was moved by the presence of the Big Star and gave birth to him. Zhang Daoling had been gifted since he was a child. At the age of seven, he had already mastered the Tao Te Ching. When he became a student of the Imperial College, he had already mastered all the mysteries of astronomy, geography, and the Five Classics. However, these were not the most legendary things. The most legendary thing that spread among the people was that Zhang Daoling was personally taught by the Taishang Laojun. Zhang Daoling was awarded the Twenty-fourth Grade Law Scroll of the Righteous One Alliance, the Extreme Scripture of Peace Cave, the Three-Five Evil Slaying Male and Female Sword, and the Yangping Capital Control Seal, which allowed Zhang Daoling to slay demons and protect the human world.
In his previous life, Xia Pingan had spent a lot of effort to investigate the mysteries of this heavenly master and to understand the origins of Chinese civilization. He had traveled all over China to trace the legendary history related to Zhang Daoling. According to the legend, the female sword of the Three Five Evil Slaying Male and Female Swords was guarded in the Ghost Abstinence Well on Mount Crane. The male sword of the Three Five Evil Slaying Male and Female Swords, Yang Pingzhi’s Dugong Skill Seal, and the 24-Grade Righteous One Alliance Power Spell Book were brought to Treasure Island for historical reasons. For this reason, Xia Pingan had even been to Treasure Island. Just to see the treasures left behind by the Taoist master.
Because the Five Dipper of Rice Sect was first born in Shu, Zhang Daoling also spread his religion and ascended in Shu. Xia Pingan once followed the footsteps of this heavenly master and went deep into Shu. On Yuntai Mountain, Cangxi County, Shu, he found Yuntai Temple, where Zhang Daoling had learned Taoism, alchemy, magic casting, and ascended to the truth more than 1800 years ago. In Yuntai Temple, he had been cultivating with several Taoist priests of the heavenly master’s lineage for nearly half a year. He had made great achievements, and there were also various mysterious experiences that were difficult to tell outsiders. For example, he had seen the scene of the Southern Heavenly Gate in the well of the Grand Cloud Temple. He had also gone deep into the secret underground palace dragon cave that connected the Grand Cloud Temple to the underground world. He had also had a bizarre experience in the underground palace dragon cave…
It was also Xia Ping ‘an’s bizarre experience at the Yuntai Temple in Cangxi County that made him a fanatical archaeological explorer in the future.
Xia Pingan sat quietly for more than two hours. When Xia Pingan felt that his entire body was in harmony with his wisdom and had completed the preparations for the fusion, a drop of blood finally fused into the Realm Pearl from his fingertip. In the blink of an eye, Xia Pingan was surrounded by a huge cocoon of light. The cocoon of light that surrounded Xia Pingan also looked very strange. It was black and white, and it was in the form of a mysterious Tai Chi Eight Trigrams. It was slowly rotating..
