Chapter 235: The Mystery of the Geomancer (Part 1)

Qi Xuansu has never met the Earth Master so far. It is no exaggeration to say that the Earth Master is the most mysterious person among the three masters.

This is not surprising either.

In the previous dynasty, the world was still dominated by Confucianism. Logically speaking, all Jinshi who had participated in the palace examination had met the emperor. However, Emperor Sejong did not go to court for twenty years and was obsessed with mystical cultivation. He did not preside over the palace examination every three years. , Therefore, no Kejia officials after the twenty-first year of the Ming Dynasty had the opportunity to see Tianyan. Except for cabinet officials and veterans, no official, big or small, recognized the emperor.

With Qi Xuansu's current status, he has never seen the Earth Master and only met the National Master a handful of times. He has seen the Heavenly Master more often, and he still got Zhang Yuelu's favor. But when the Heavenly Master avoided seeing him, he also saw him. Less than.

It could be said that the Earth Master deliberately avoided Qi Xuansu, or it could also be said that it was just a coincidence. Therefore, Qi Xuansu had doubts in the past, but did not delve into it too deeply.

But now that Li Tianlan said this, Qi Xuansu's doubts surged up uncontrollably.

The fourth generation Earth Master is very similar to the Earth Master? ??

If Li Tianlan's speculation comes true and the fourth generation Earth Master is the current generation Earth Master, is it possible that the fourth generation Earth Master is already a calamity immortal?

However, Qi Xuansu quickly denied this speculation.

If the Earth Master is a One-Calamity Immortal, wouldn't it be better for the Earth Master to directly become the Sixth Generation Grand Master? There is no need to guard the deputy headmaster Da Zhenren.

In addition, there are two possibilities.

The first possibility is that he was reincarnated as a human, just like Wu Xian was reincarnated as Yaozu. Although he retained some of his cultivation, he was no longer an immortal. In this way, he could circumvent the restrictions of the heavenly calamity and then make a comeback.

The second possibility is that the immortal will be transformed into the world. When the incarnation ascends for the second time and returns to his original form, the immortal can take a further step.

This method has great limitations and has four difficulties.

First, the immortal himself must be persistent in his heart and have enough persistent thoughts to break through the limitations of the two realms. Otherwise, he needs to be at the level of Taishang Taozu. If the immortals have no attachments, they will not be able to return to the human world through their incarnations.

What is the obsession of the fourth generation Earth Master?

The second is that a considerable amount of divine power is needed to open up the two realms and form a temporary passage. However, this passage is very fragile and cannot be passed by the immortal himself.

For Quanzhen Taoism, which has a big family and a big business, this is not a problem.

The third is that a container is needed. Generally, a fetus in the belly that has not yet formed a soul will be selected and does not create sinful karma. However, if you want to fit the immortal himself and be able to carry and accommodate the thoughts of the immortal, you need to spend manpower and carefully select it.

Quanzhen Tao masters the engineering of creation, so it is not a problem to directly build a container.

Fourth, after the arrival of the immortals, there will be confusion in the womb, that is, they will not remember the original things at all. If no one clicks,

Changes, or other opportunities, and you can't remember the causes and consequences for the rest of your life. Spending your life in a hazy state is equivalent to walking in this world in vain, so you need someone to guide you.

With the strength of the Yao family, it is not difficult to do it.

If all four problems are solved, the immortal incarnation can walk normally in the human world, or break off the worldly relationship, or cut off the obsession. However, the incarnation of a Celestial Immortal does not have a single bit of realm cultivation and needs to start all over again. But with the enlightenment experience of a Celestial Immortal, the advancement is far better than that of ordinary people.

However, even if one succeeds in cultivation, not everything will be fine. The incarnation of the immortal comes to break the fate of the world. If this incarnation is contaminated by too many causes and effects, it will be unable to return to the original form. Even the cause and effect has affected the deity. After weighing the pros and cons, the disadvantages outweigh the benefits. The deity has to cut off this incarnation and make it an independent individual.

From this point of view, the incarnation is the deity, but the deity is not the incarnation.

After overcoming all difficulties, the incarnation finally ascends for the second time and returns to its original form, and the realm of immortals can be improved to a higher level.

Assuming that it is the second situation, that is, the current generation of Earth Master is the incarnation of the fourth generation of Earth Master after his ascension. There is only one key question here. What is the obsession of the fourth generation of Earth Master?

In terms of realm cultivation, Xuansheng is higher, and Xuansheng has not been seen to cut off his incarnation and re-enter the world. It can be seen that Xuansheng has no attachments.

Children and grandchildren will have their own blessings. Don’t be a horse or a cow for your children and grandchildren.

Qi Xuansu had also imagined whether he would be the incarnation of Xuansheng, but many experts had verified it for him, and he had nothing to do with Xuansheng.

The incarnation can be seen.

Putting aside the basic qualifications, just talking about the mystery in the womb, even without anyone's guidance, after reaching the pseudo-immortal realm, you can open your mind and remember your past and present lives.

Taking a step back, Qi Xuansu is not a fake fairy, but enlightenment does not mean that he remembers everything overnight, but a step-by-step process. Before he fully awakens and remembers the past, he will successively dream of some scenes from the past. The lower the cultivation level, the vaguer the dream; the higher the cultivation level, the clearer the dream. This kind of dream may last a lifetime.

Qi Xuansu often dreams, but all he dreams about are Lingshan and the Great Witch. If he must be said to be an incarnation, it is also the incarnation of the Great Witch and has nothing to do with Xuan Sheng.

Without a clue for a moment, Qi Xuansu had no choice but to ask, "What did the Imperial Master say?"

Li Tianlan said, "If there is no evidence, the Imperial Master cannot say anything. There are just a few possibilities."

Qi Xuansu fell into deep thought again.

Of course not the appearance

As evidence, it barely makes sense that the descendants are like their ancestors.

As for why the Earth Master maintains the appearance of the fourth generation Earth Master, the reason is not difficult to guess.

Changing your appearance is certainly not difficult, but it has always been true. Changing the appearance will leave traces, and even requires cultivation to maintain it, so it is easy for others to see the flaws.

Even if a warrior has a hundred forms of human immortals, it is difficult to say that there is no trace left. After all, the appearance of a warrior's body and soul is consistent with his true appearance. The hundred forms of human immortals can change the external appearance of flesh and blood, but cannot change the appearance of the body and soul.

The soul is also the true appearance. The transformation of the soul can only be regarded as an illusion, and it will still be seen through.

Rejuvenation is another situation. Whether it is a child, an old man, a teenager, or a middle-aged man, it is his true appearance, just in a different period.

The Taoist sect has no shortage of masters and immortals. Even if the secrets hidden in the cracks of time can be dug out for you, secretly change the appearance, and then be seen through by others, that is, there is no silver here, three hundred taels, and let people think too much. It is better to keep the original appearance directly.

There is another reason. The geomancer became an immortal step by step, and he also has a complete resume. He did not suddenly appear. There may be people who suddenly appeared, but it is impossible for him to become the deputy head of the Taoist sect. Do you really think that the Taoist sect's review is a decoration? When the earth master is at a low level, he cannot change his appearance, and others have seen the earth master's original appearance. As for using external objects to cover up his appearance, it is also a case of trying to cover up one's appearance.

Maybe someone will ask, what is the situation with Yao Zu?

Yao Zu's situation is special. She did not take over another body, but merged. In other words, Wu Xian and Yao Zu merged into one person. It can be said that she is both Wu Xian and Yao Zu, or it can be said that she is neither of them, a completely new person, so her true appearance has changed permanently.

Now it seems that the earth master cannot change his true appearance, and it is very likely that he has some connection with the fourth generation earth master.

This can also explain why the earth master rarely shows up, and the eight generations of disciples have basically not seen the true appearance of the earth master.

After all, Li Tianlan is older. When he was young, the fifth generation of the great master was still alive. At that time, the earth master was not qualified to see anyone, so Li Tianlan had seen the earth master.

Among the people who have seen the true appearance of the earth master, almost no one has seen the fourth generation of the earth master, so there is no way to connect the two. On the contrary, it was Li Tianlan who, by chance, met the fourth generation of geomancers with his elders in the family, and then he learned this secret.

Qi Xuansu asked again, "In theory, the Heavenly Master, the National Master, Jiang Dazhenren, Shi Dazhenren and others should have also met the fourth generation of geomancers, but why have they never mentioned this?"

>

Li Tianlan said, "That's not the case. It's true that these Pingzhang Dazhenren you mentioned are older than me, but when I was a child, they were just young people, with insufficient qualifications and low cultivation, and they were still quite far from the core of Taoism. It's not easy to meet the fourth generation of geomancers who are powerful and secluded. I also benefited from the light of my ancestors. The ancestors of our family were good friends with the fourth generation of geomancers, and I was the eldest grandson of the eldest house of our family. That's why I was taken by my ancestors to visit friends and had the honor of seeing the true appearance of the fourth generation of geomancers."

Qi Xuansu understood.

The fourth generation of geomancers are also very mysterious. Since Qi Xuansu has never seen the Earth Master, it makes sense that the Pingzhang Great Masters have never seen the Fourth Generation Earth Master when they were young.

In this way, most of those who have seen the true face of the Earth Master have never seen the Fourth Generation Earth Master. Most of those who have seen the Fourth Generation Earth Master are no longer alive.

It was Li Tianlan's accident that accidentally revealed the secret of the Earth Master.

Another problem is that the Fourth Generation Earth Master and the current generation of Earth Master overlap in time. When the Fourth Generation Earth Master was alive, the current generation of Earth Master had already grown up, which seems to rule out the speculation of incarnation and reincarnation.

Qi Xuansu asked, "Who have you told about this?"

Li Tianlan said, "I have not achieved much in my life. I have been wandering around in local Taoist temples all my life. When I got old, I was only the second deputy temple master. So I really met the current generation of earth master very late. I remember that it was when the fifth generation of the great master replaced the three deputy masters. I followed the national master to Yujing and met the current generation of earth master and the current generation of heaven master for the first time. At first, I just felt familiar, as if I had seen them somewhere, and didn't pay much attention to it. Later, when the clan worshipped the ancestors, I remembered the old story of my ancestor taking me to visit friends. Then I was surprised to find that the current generation of earth master and the fourth generation of earth master were so similar. It was a serious matter, so I didn't dare to make it public. I just I told the Imperial Master, and he told me not to spread it. That's it. As for whether the Imperial Master has told anyone else, I don't know. "

Qi Xuansu asked, "Didn't the Fourth Generation Earth Master leave a portrait?"

Li Tianlan

said, "When I first remembered this, I was afraid that I had made a mistake, so I looked for the portrait of the Fourth Generation Earth Master to compare it. But the official portrait left by the Fourth Generation Earth Master was not the same as the Fourth Generation Earth Master in my memory. It was seriously distorted and should have been modified. I found a few other portraits of the Fourth Generation Earth Master, but they were all profiles or backs. "

Except for a distorted official portrait, there were no other portraits left by the great deputy headmaster. Was it intentional at the beginning? Or was it destroyed later?

It seems that the water of Quanzhen Dao is much deeper than Qi Xuansu imagined.

Qi Xuansu sighed and didn't ask any more questions.
