Chapter 2357 Trash, Worship

Beihuang, Qingzong.

More than ten years have passed, and Ye Liujun and the others have stayed here without going anywhere.

Lin Changsheng already knew about the current situation in China and the origins of Lu Hansheng and others. He was genuinely shocked when he first found out.

It took Lin Changsheng a long time to calm down.

Over the years, Ye Liujun and others have not just been loafing around in the Qingzong Sect; they occasionally step forward to give guidance to the sect members on their cultivation.

The Emperor preached the Dao, and the benefits he bestowed were immense.

However, the emperors concealed their true appearances and auras, so apart from Lin Changsheng, no one else in the sect knew anything about them.

"A bunch of useless people, they can't even understand this."

Whenever Lu Hansheng gave a sermon, seeing the bewildered expressions on the faces of his disciples, he would feel disappointed and scold them coldly.

The disciples were filled with shame and had no way to refute him.

"Let me put it in simpler terms. If you still don't understand, you might as well go outside and smash your head against a block of tofu."

Unless it was someone Chen Qingyuan was closest to, Lu Hansheng wouldn't give them a kind look, and would loudly rebuke them, his voice echoing throughout the heavens and earth.

A strict teacher produces outstanding students. If someone can't even listen to a few words of criticism, then they are truly useless and have no right to embark on the path of cultivation.

Despite the criticism, we still need to teach them.

Accumulating some reputation and building good relationships within the Qingzong sect will likely come in handy in the future.

If it weren't for Chen Qingyuan's sake, Lu Hansheng would never have done such a thankless task.

During this period, the emperors often heard enticing messages about immortality.

They came together and fought back together.

If someone is mentally unstable, others should immediately take action to wake them up.

At their peak, Ye Liujun and Rong Che had only touched the mid-stage of the Emperor's Path realm. Moreover, they had not yet recovered to their prime.

Therefore, Ye Liujun and Rong Che lost their minds far more often than others.

Whenever they were momentarily delirious, Lu Hansheng would simply wave his fan to resolve the situation. After helping them, he wouldn't forget to taunt them: "What a bunch of good-for-nothings, they can't even withstand this level of the sound of the laws."

Although they clearly hated Lu Hansheng's mouth, the two had no choice but to say thank you with dark faces: "Thank you for saving us, Brother Lu."

Lu Hansheng adopted a superior attitude, arrogantly scoffing, "Heh."

I really want to punch him!

Seeing Lu Hansheng's appearance, Ye Liujun and Rong Che exchanged a glance and both had the same thought.

"Be more careful! Don't keep me worrying."

Lu Hansheng glanced at the two of them and said something that annoyed people.

After saying that, Lu Hansheng walked with an air of indifference, going to find Lin Changsheng to have tea and chat, continuing to deepen their relationship.

In other words, Lin Changsheng didn't want to be too high-profile, otherwise releasing the news about Ye Liujun and the others would surely shake the entire world of China.

The four Great Emperors are currently stationed at the Azure Sect; if word gets out, it will surely terrify countless people.

The so-called immortal ancient race must be trembling with fear.

Recently, a Taoist priest arrived at the mountain gate of Qingzong.

"Stop!"

The elder on duty guarding the mountain gate shouted loudly.

Then, the elder appeared, cupped his hands in a gesture of respect to the Taoist priest who had come to the door, and asked, "What is your name, fellow Taoist? What brings you here?"

"This humble Taoist priest, Shoujing, has come here to pay homage."

The young Taoist priest, dressed in a simple, clean robe, bowed respectfully to indicate his identity and purpose.

Why has Master Shoujing come to pay homage?

The gatekeeper elder pondered for a moment, having never heard of this person. However, maintaining basic courtesy and showing no disrespect, he continued to inquire.

The Qing Sect today possesses a profound foundation and a superior status. However, the sect never abuses its power to bully others, and its laws are strict, with no one allowed to violate them; those who do will be severely punished.

This was achieved through the painstaking efforts of Lin Changsheng and his senior colleagues, which enabled the Qingzong Sect to develop steadily without leaving any hidden dangers.

"In my youth, I received guidance from Your Excellency, which helped me see through illusions and enter the Dao in a single thought. After many years of arduous cultivation, I have achieved some success and have traversed countless star fields. I shamelessly request an audience with Your Excellency."

The Taoist priest briefly explained the reason.

"Oh?"

Upon hearing this, the gatekeeper elder's expression changed slightly.

This matter involves His Majesty, so we must be careful and avoid making any mistakes.

Many years ago, Chen Qingyuan and An Xiruo went to a familiar place. The once prosperous Taoist temple was now desolate and dilapidated, with only a few minor cultivators who were not worthy of being mentioned.

However, one of the young Taoist disciples in the temple possessed some talent. So, Chen Qingyuan secretly offered him guidance and led him on the path of Taoism, showing him its vast and boundless frontier.

The young Taoist boy seized that opportunity and devoted himself to diligent cultivation, never slacking off for a single day.

"Since you have some connection with His Excellency, please come in and sit for a while!"

The gatekeeper elder had already reported the matter to the core elder who could make the decision. He pointed to the entrance with a kind and respectful expression.

"Thank you, senior."

Master Shoujing bowed deeply and slowly stepped forward.

Later, the higher-ups of the Qingzong sect gave a special reception to Daoist Shoujing and discussed matters related to Chen Qingyuan in detail, without revealing any trace of lying.

After the conversation, Master Shoujing took out a token that could represent Chen Qingyuan's will.

Chen Qingyuan was worried that after he left, the Taoist temple would be disturbed by surrounding forces.

Therefore, he left a token and entrusted it to the young Taoist boy for safekeeping, so that if the Taoist temple encountered danger, he could go to the nearby Qingzong branch for help.

"His Majesty's token!"

Upon seeing the token, the core elder was overwhelmed with surprise and exclaimed in astonishment.

"Taoist Master, you have this, why didn't you take it out sooner?"

The elder smiled bitterly, no longer having any doubts.

"Feel sorry."

Master Shoujing expressed his apologies.

"As far as I know, His Excellency is not in the sect. Therefore, it seems that Daoist's trip will not be successful."

Having confirmed the connection between Daoist Shoujing and the Venerable One, the elder's attitude noticeably changed, becoming much more amiable. They were all family, and should treat each other with kindness.

"That's it!"

A hint of disappointment flashed across Master Shoujing's eyes.

"If you're not in a hurry, you can stay at the Qingzong Sect for a while, exchange ideas and discuss the Dao with cultivators of the same realm, or go to the library to read ancient books and secret texts."

The elder extended an invitation.

"Is this...appropriate?"

Master Shoujing was a little embarrassed.

“Of course it’s appropriate.” The elder smiled. “You have gained the Venerable One’s approval, so you are a friend of the Azure Sect.”

"Thank you."

Since things had come to this point, it would seem petty for Master Shoujing to remain hesitant. He quickly stood up, bowed, and sincerely thanked him.

“We are all family, no need for thanks.” The elder said kindly, “By the way, recently several distinguished guests have been giving lectures. They are all unfathomable beings, and their words are the true words of the Great Dao. We mortals only need to listen to their teachings once to clear away many of our confusions on the path of cultivation, which is better than a hundred years of hard work. Daoist Master, please stay a few more days. You must not miss such an opportunity.”

"it is good!"

Master Shoujing was very much looking forward to it.
