Chapter 8: The Transformation of Time

Chapter 8: The Transformation of Time (Thanks to the Alliance!)
"That's unreasonable!"

Taoist Mu angrily aimed at Zhou Yi's palm and shouted, "Look at the power of your palm!"

He pressed his palm down towards his sleeve, and the energy gathered, and his Taoist robe fluttered like a sail. In the blink of an eye, he stepped on the bluestone slabs and crossed two meters!
The palm like a palm leaf fan came towards him, and Zhou Yi was completely unable to keep up with his speed.

In a flash, he saw the opponent's palm print approaching. Fortunately, Mu Dao Ren had fallen into the trap unknowingly. In his anger, he did not use any moves, but just competed with strength.

Zhou Yi just practiced his mental skills and fought against him!
Suddenly, a strong wind blew in my face, and a huge force rushed into my body. I felt like a candle in a birthday hall, swaying in the wind, without roots!

At the critical moment, Zhou Yi used the foot hook stone lock method taught by his master.

At this time, the palm power of the short and fat Taoist was regarded as an external force, just like the stone lock that night, and the meridian energy went back through the Yufu acupoints on both sides to the foot Shaoyin Kidney Meridian.

The light feeling of moving the qi and blood to remove the weight of the stone lock came back to me again.

The short and fat Taoist's violent energy disappeared!

Zhou Yi, who was in a precarious situation, used his opponent's strength to gain a firm footing and pushed the opponent out of his body through the Yongquan acupoints on both feet!

The short and fat Taoist's internal energy is extraordinary.

Unleashing this force had reached Zhou Yi's limit. The Qi impacted his meridians, causing him to feel unspeakable pain. This was the first time he experienced the dominance of Qi, and he had no choice but to struggle on.

Cold sweat was pouring down his back, and the short and fat Taoist was shocked!
'No, no!'

"Where has the Daoist Master's true energy gone?!"

He has been wandering the world for decades and has never encountered such a strange situation.

Now that he knew the other party was not a fraud, his anger subsided greatly, and a sense of crisis arose out of nowhere.

Out of the instinctive reaction of a martial artist, Mu Dao Ren felt something was wrong and immediately withdrew his palm and jumped ten feet away.

The onlookers haven't figured out the situation yet.

They only saw the short and fat Taoist making a fierce palm strike, but the Taiping Heavenly Master remained motionless. The two separated as soon as they clashed. Who was the winner in the end?

next moment.
As Zhou Yi moved his feet in the Cao Mansion compound, many people gasped!
Ji Niantao stood beside his father with a wonderful expression.

I saw two footprints deeply embedded in the blue-gray stone slabs of the courtyard!

It is also a magical technique for peace and peace, so there must not be any falsehood.

"I see!"

The second son of the Cao family clapped his hands, his eyes full of admiration. Now he finally understood why his grandfather was so polite to Master Zhou.

The previous "Burning Wood Finger Technique" was a strange martial art that had never been seen before.

The Taoist monk took a step forward, staring at the footprints on the ground.

His anger had almost subsided by now, but his breathing was rapid and short. He took off the wine gourd and wanted to drink some wine, but the gourd was empty and there was not a drop of wine left.

He sulked and snorted.

But Zhou Yi suddenly bowed and said to him:
"The Huainanzi Lanming in the Western Han Dynasty records: 'One who preserves his true nature and does not harm his body. The fundamental point of cultivating one's character and nature in the upright way is to maintain one's original nature, so that one can be in harmony with the Tao.'"

The Taoist priest associates with evil people, yet he despises them. Since this is not in accordance with the way of integrity, why does he go against nature?

This debate left Mu Dao Ren no choice but to remain silent.

He really looked down upon the actions of the Baling Gang. If he denied Zhou Yi's words, it would be tantamount to denying his inner self, that is, denying the Han Dynasty doctrine and orthodoxy that he inherited.

If they can't even uphold their own orthodoxy, what qualifications do they have to criticize the Taiping Dao?

I originally thought that the successor of Yongqiu Taiping Dao was just a quack who cheated people, but I didn't know that he really had a legacy and was well aware of his own Quanxing doctrine.

"Alas, I am defeated. I have been defeated by a junior."

Mu Dao Ren felt very unhappy and felt a chill in his heart.

"you win."

Although he was unwilling, he still said this.

Saying one sentence is saying one thing, saying two sentences is also saying one thing. Taoist Mu then asked: "Did you transform all my true energy into the blue bricks?"

Zhou Yi's heart moved, and the other party didn't seem to be the kind of person who would make trouble.

One more enemy is not as good as one more friend. In addition, the opponent's martial arts skills are very high, so his words are much softer:
“That’s right, but the Taoist priest can deeply imprint the blue brick with only two times of his strength. His inner strength is beyond my reach.

If my master saw this, he would also praise my inner strength."

This step is comfortable.

Taoist Mu casually shook his wine gourd and hummed, feeling somewhat satisfied, so he also commented:
"The Xihe Hunyuan School's martial arts also emphasizes the transformation of energy, but even the headmaster, Ma Shouyi, can't transform my true energy to this level."

Wu Guanlan, who was standing by, became dissatisfied after hearing this.

How can this be? You two bastards are dragging my head into this matter.
Taoist Mu glanced at him and said, "Why, Elder Wu, do you think my words are wrong?"

Elder Wu cursed him in his heart, but appeared to be sullen and silent.

"Hmph, go back and tell Master Ma that I enjoyed your meal and wine, but ended up in trouble. I'm not guilty of this blow today.

Don't look for me again in the future to avoid misunderstandings."

After Taoist Mu finished speaking, he ignored Wu Guanlan's reaction and continued to ask Zhou Yi, "What is the name of your martial arts, and which scripture did it come from?" Taoist Mu suddenly initiated an academic exchange.

Zhou Yi's mind raced, and he started to talk nonsense to Dao Cheng: "I, the Taiping Daoist, have deeply studied the Laozi Xianger Annotation, which explains that the five stars follow their orbits, and visitors who oppose them will not shine."

"These are Jupiter, Mars, Venus, Jupiter, and the Star of the City. Following their orbits is normal, while going against their course is abnormal."

"Thus, the stars shift!"

Mu Dao Ren was greatly shocked.

"The stars have turned."

He nodded and recited it again. He had his own understanding, so of course his understanding was different, but he was even more shocked.

"Kan and Li are in the right orbit, and the movement is in the right direction. This is the way the five stars follow their course. If a guest star goes retrograde, wouldn't it be a secret harmony between yin and yang? This skill of observing the stars is of great significance and is of great significance."

"Although this guy's martial arts skills are not high, he can still make me fall flat on my face."

"Not good! If Jiao Wuzi uses this Dou Zhuan Xing Yi, even if I use all my strength, I'm afraid my chances of winning are slim. I've already made a fool of myself today. If I lose again at Fuzi Mountain, it will become a huge joke."

"Yes, once I find a way to crack it, it won't be too late to find this master and disciple to redeem my face."

The short and fat Taoist nodded secretly, and with this thought in his mind, he became more determined to retreat.

After glancing at Zhou Yi, he jumped onto the courtyard wall, stepped on the tiles of Cao's house, making them crackle and fly, and then walked out with big strides.

Everyone knew that he was fierce and had a strange temper, so no one dared to stop him.

"Master Zhou, there may be some misunderstandings between our two families, but this is all caused by our subordinates. I will report this to the headmaster today and ask him to resolve the misunderstanding to avoid affecting the relationship between our two families."

Wu Guanlan chose to back down, and Zhou Yi didn't want to push him to the edge.

"Then I'll have to trouble Elder Wu to pass on the message."

Wu Guanlan said goodbye and turned to leave. Lai Changming also left with the people from Hunyuan Sect.

After a brief social interaction, Zhou Yi got on the carriage surrounded by the crowd and headed straight for Confucius Mountain.

There were many people at the door looking at the carriage from afar, watching it go.
"Grandfather, how could you let Wu Guanlan bring such disgrace upon my family?"

In the quiet inner hall, Cao Chengyun looked puzzled.

Cao Ruinian said calmly, "Cheng Yun, our Cao family is ultimately a family of merchants. We must see the situation clearly and follow the changes in the world.

The Hunyuan Sect and the Baling Clan are in cahoots, and the Baling Clan is connected to the Yuwen Clan. The Yingyang Prefecture Army is on the way, so how can we provoke them? "

Cao Chengyun asked, "Then Empress Liang's visit to my Cao residence has something to do with this?"

"of course."

Cao Ruinian said, "This person is Xu Xuanche's subordinate, but he claims to have respected the orders of Empress Liang. What they value is the teachings of the Taiping Dao. You should understand now."

"Xu Xuanche"

Cao Chengyun pondered for a moment and suddenly thought: "If I remember correctly, he should be the commander of the Yuezhou Brigade, under the command of Infantry Captain Dong Jingzhen.

Humph, this Empress Liang and her people colluded with the officials of the Sui Dynasty and were quite ambitious.

However, when it comes to heroes in troubled times."

He changed the subject, and said excitedly, "Grandfather, I once met Master Mi with the head of our sect. He was the true hero! Those who followed him were all the best in the world!

This time, the secret agent has experienced many setbacks, but a great mission is one that requires dedication. Our Cao family should act decisively and provide all possible assistance!"

"Ha ha."

Cao Ruinian suddenly smiled, "Erlang, although Huashan Sect's Master Wei is an unrivaled master, you must listen carefully to his observations and not believe everything he says.

Feng Xuan once said to Mengchangjun: A cunning rabbit has three burrows, which is the only way it can avoid death.

How can we, a merchant family, abandon everything we have and avoid the danger?"

Cao Chengyun pondered for a few breaths: "What do you mean?"

Cao Ruinian took out a letter from his arms and handed it to him.

"Tomorrow you will go to Fuzi Mountain and deliver this letter to Master Zhou."
