When Cheng Jizi saw Wu Liang asking this question, he explained: "Does the true king not know why the five realms were sealed, the immortals retreated, Taoism was established separately, and the human religion did not exist?"

Wu Liang shook his head and acquiesced.

"It doesn't matter, the years are endless, maybe it is God's will. At that time, the battle between the five divine realms was called the Battle of the Gods in our Central World. There were also other sayings such as the Twilight of the Gods and the Annihilation of All Gods. The reason was for no other reason than to explain the teachings.

Xing, all the gods will return to their throne, and the heavenly generals will unify the real people." Cheng Jizi looked doubtful and said slowly.

"Explanation of teaching is about to take off, what does it have to do with my human teaching?" Wu Liang asked.

"Since ancient times, the three religions have come from the same place, and each has its own strengths. However, in our human religion, humans are the body of humanity among the six paths. They have the heart to practice, but they are influenced by other pursuits. Therefore, there are martial practitioners who have the body.

Among Taoists, there are those who practice Dharma, and there are those who practice heretics, which is today's technology. As a result, people and religions have differences, each insisting on their own opinions. Most of those who practice heretics do not respect heaven and earth, ghosts and gods, and the leader of the religion. In this way,

, the power of faith in the divine world gradually lost, so the gods were angry, and saw that technology had wonderful things, so they took action. Since then, the five divine realms have launched various activities in the name of disbelief in gods, or in the name of the invasion of foreign demons.

The battle between the gods and the human world is actually a world of flesh and blood. However, each war is limited to the four worlds, so it does not harm the foundation of our human world. If the gods have always been like this, it is not a big deal. But thousands of years ago, in the northern god world

The Western God Realm coveted the power of the Central World, and rashly invaded the Central World, using divine power to fight against the two most powerful technological countries on earth at that time. At that time, the two countries that were dominated by technology were Onishi Kingdom and Mahabo

At that time, the Luo Duo Kingdom, like you today, had mastered the technology that could enter the void, and also mastered powerful cosmic power. After the war began, the God Realm cast a spell of destruction, while the Daxi Kingdom and the Mahabharata Kingdom

Not to be outdone, he used the most powerful weapons, a bit like the atomic weapons you are using now." Guangtongzi went on to describe to Wu Liang the battle between humans and gods thousands of years ago as if telling a story.

Finally, he said sadly: "Unfortunately, although the science and technology of Onishi Kingdom and Mahabharata Kingdom are powerful, they do not cultivate themselves and rely on external forces. After all, they fall behind. Under the collision of powerful forces, the gods and men do nothing at all, and the two

The most powerful technological country dominated by science and technology was destroyed in one day and sank to the bottom of the sea forever."

"What happens next?" Wu Liang still doesn't understand whether he has understood his problem after saying so much about the Eight Friends in the Cloud.

"For this reason, the saint became angry and wanted to build a heavenly palace to restrain the gods and humans. Therefore, the battle to confer gods back then was really about analyzing the two religions and three merchants and jointly setting up a list of gods. But Lao Tzu, the leader of the human religion, was impartial and insisted on the two.

However, the leader of Jiejiao, Tongtianjiao, finally repented and lost the face of a saint. Therefore, I had to help Yuanshi Tianzun break the Immortal Killing Formation, and then Taozu personally came to take away Tongtianjiao. From then on, Jiejiao could not help but

"Existence, demons are in power. After being conferred as a god, the Heavenly Court was in charge of the immortal world according to the Yuanshi Fu Zhao, and ordered the immortals not to stay in the human world, so as not to be affected by human religion and lose their immortal foundation." Li Muzi continued.

"Laozi, the leader of our human religion, suddenly appeared in the world, wrote the "Tao Te Ching", and left the Sanqing talisman, which was later acquired by Zhang Daoling. He founded Taoism and worshiped the sage Laozi as its leader, and the sage Laozi did not object. Therefore, the human religion has been restored since then.

There is no leader. It is said that Kong Zhongni once asked Laozi and thought he had attained Taoism. However, he followed Confucianism and Taoism. Although he was taught by a few people and had methods of practice, he lost the intention of a saint to educate the world and was limited to China.

It's not like when I was in charge of teaching, my elder brother Master Xuandu also traveled to the four corners of the world to pass down magic, so he finally became a Confucian school and no longer taught it." Nan Hezi immediately answered, fearing that Wu Liang didn't know what magic was.

, and also glanced at Anita and Sophia.

"So, our religion has been without a leader for a long time -" Lei Bozi said hummingly.

"We are both preaching to Lao Tzu, why can Taoist cultivators be ranked in the Immortal Class? But those who have achieved Taoism in our human religion can't?" After listening to so much, Wu Liang probably understood that it was Lao Tzu who asked Zhang Daoling to create another Taoism and ignore the human religion.

, I guess I can’t stand the heresy of human beings cultivating technology.

"We who practice spiritual consciousness are the supernatural powers taught by human beings. They are originally those who have attained the Tao of human teachings. Those who have attained the Tao of human teachings have always lived in the world since ancient times, so they will not return to the fairy world, and the fairy world is controlled by Chan Jiao. Haha, they originally

I don’t like humanity." Jin Yuanzi explained.

"What's the difference between a Taoist and an immortal?" Wu Liang asked hurriedly, puzzled.

"They are all just cultivators. Those who have attained the Tao are not immortals. Immortals may enter the clouds and fly without wings; they may ride dragons on clouds and ascend to the heavenly steps; or they may transform into birds and beasts and float on the blue clouds;

Some sneak around the rivers and seas, soar over famous mountains; some feed on vitality, or grow on grass; some go in and out of the world without being recognized by others, or hide themselves from people; they have strange bones on their faces, strange hair on their bodies, they like to be secluded, and they don't interact with the world.

.However, even though these people have immortal life, are free from human emotions, and are far away from glory and happiness, some birds turn into clams and pheasants turn into mirages. They lose their true nature and retain their strange aura. In those days, the saints were in charge of teachings and had other laws and laws to pass on.

People teach practitioners that when they enter the Tao, they should eat delicious food, take light and beautiful clothes, connect yin and yang, and have good officials and ears. The joints are strong, the color is lustrous, old and not old, and the eyesight is long. Living in the world, cold, temperature, and rheumatism

It cannot be hurt, no ghosts, gods or spirits dare to offend, five soldiers and a hundred insects cannot approach, anger, happiness, praise and praise are not burdensome, those who have attained the Tao also have self-enlightenment and supernatural powers, no less than the two teachings of interpretation and interception, which is really extremely valuable." Guangtong.

Zi took over the words and talked about them as if recounting past events.

"And the most basic characteristic of those who have achieved Taoism in our human religion is to cultivate the consciousness of God. The catastrophes we endure are not celestial tribulations, but actually human tribulations. These tribulations arise out of nothing, pretending to be like lightning and thunder, with blazing momentum and traversing

Sky, I think Zhenjun has already seen this calamity." Tian Yuzi said.

"So that's how it is. I am a cultivator in later generations. I accidentally cultivated the consciousness of the spirit. Unexpectedly, I became a person who was taught the Tao. I thought it was destined to be like this. I wonder how many people in the human world are there who have been taught the Tao?" Wu Liang smiled bitterly,

Thinking back on when I wanted to break the void and go to the immortal world, I not only practiced martial arts hard, but also practiced Taoism and Dharma diligently in order to return to the immortal world. Now it's better, I have become a Taoist and can live in the world forever.

"Not many. There are millions in the central world, widely distributed in the Xuanhuang Universe and the worlds in the ten directions. There are also enlightened people in the Eastern Cultivation World. They are only sealed in the five realms. It is not known how many there are now." Nanhezi said.

It was amazing. Wu Liang was shocked that there were so many.

"Are they all the same as everyone else?" Wu Liang asked carefully.

"True Lord, you don't have to worry. Those of us who have attained the Tao have developed our own magical powers. As far as our eight friends in the clouds are concerned, our cultivation level is comparable to that of the Daluo True Immortal. Because they are both taught by Taoist ancestor Hongjun, they are in line with the Taoist body, so the realm of the three religions is

The difference is not big. Among the Taoists in the world today, the lowest cultivation level is the Celestial Immortal level, and the highest cultivation level is Daluo Jinxian. Of course, if you include Xuandu Tian’s elder brother, Master Xuandu, then the highest level should be Zhen.

Holy." Li Muzi replied.

After Wu Liang heard this, he took a deep breath, wondering how the Human Religion still had such a powerful force. After a pause, Wu Liang asked again: "I don't understand. The three religions have been powerful since ancient times. So, are there any warriors in the Human Religion? Please

With all due respect, from what I have heard, warriors can return to the immortal world."

"Martial artists are also people taught by humans. They originate from the lineage of ancient body cultivation. Although they are not the true body of the Tao, but when the body cultivation reaches a certain level, they can be reborn, return to their origins, and attain the Tao. They are also self-enlightened supernatural powers. They are also passed down by saints.

However, from ancient times to the present, there are very few warriors who have achieved the Tao. Therefore, Hongjun Taoist ancestors and special warriors can choose at will, whether in the human world, the fairy world, or the netherworld. Today, there are also warriors who have achieved the Tao in the Xuanhuang Universe in the human world.

They are all a generation before you. Now they are spread all over the world in the Xuanhuang Universe. Their technology is far beyond your comparison. Because of this, they have not achieved much in martial arts, such as the highest achievement among them.

Those who only have the cultivation level of Jidao Jindan - what a pity! Although technology is powerful, it is an external force after all. If you don't cultivate yourself, you will eventually fall behind." There seems to be a sense of regret in Guangtong Zi's words,

His eyes were looking at the martial arts stage.

"True Lord, do you know why we are here?" After a long time, Li Muzi suddenly asked.

"I don't know." Wu Liang answered truthfully.

"Come here for the True Lord." Li Muzi stared at Wu Liang's eyes and found that Wu Liang had no intention of expressing anything. He immediately explained: "The True Lord is a strange person taught by my people. There has never been one since ancient times." Seeing that Wu Liang was not interested.

After understanding the meaning, he explained: "Twenty-eight years ago, I had a premonition and got a hexagram. I knew that in twenty-eight years a saint from our religion would appear. And the hexagram showed that this person was good at both martial arts and martial arts.

, skillful awareness of spirits, self-enlightenment of supernatural powers——"

"I see that Taoist Mu Qing is also a practitioner of martial arts and has self-enlightenment of supernatural powers. He may soon be able to cultivate consciousness." Wu Liang quickly concluded.

"Alas - the number of days is like this. It is just like what the hexagram says. There are countless numbers in this person's name, but the time has not come yet and everything has not been understood yet. However, this person does things that are inactive, which is in line with the saying that "the Tao is always inactive and does everything."

, if the princes and kings can abide by the great road, all things will transform on their own - well, since the true king does not believe it, we will leave here. When the true king understands the secret of heaven, we should come back to assist the true king and establish a human religion."

After Li Muzi finished speaking, he didn't say much. He disappeared on the spot, and the other seven people also disappeared one after another. In the blink of an eye, the Eight Friends in the Cloud came and went quietly like a gust of wind. Only one person was left behind.

Wu Liang sat there in shock.

"Establish a human religion again? Haha -" Wu Liang said to himself, and could only ask himself if he had such great ability. Not to mention those millions of people who taught the Tao, just those countless people

I can get along with all the Taoists who have achieved ridiculously high levels of cultivation. In a world where the strong are respected, why should I establish a human religion? Besides, what virtue do I have to hold the position of the leader of a human religion?

?

"Wait a minute - I and Yuanshi Tianzun gave me the treasure. Is it the intention of Taozu? Is it really the number of days?" Wu Liang knew that Taoist Hongjun was the incarnation of the middle way of chaos, and the number of days was controlled by Taoism and nature.

After thinking about it, he felt that this seemed to be very mysterious. After thinking for a while, Wu Liang felt that no matter what the number of days was, he should pretend not to know the reason for it, at least until he entered the realm of true martial arts.

Wu Liang looked at the time and felt that the morning's competition was almost over. He was about to say goodbye to Taoist Mu Qing and go back first, but Xu Wuzi suddenly appeared in front of him.

"By the way, Taoist Master Xu Wu, they were discussing Tao just now, why didn't you join in?" Wu Liang felt strange that Xu Wuzi's previous behavior seemed a bit unreasonable. Now that he thought about it, he asked quickly.

"Zhenjun, one of the eight people just now gave me a very familiar feeling. I wonder what the names of these eight people are?" Xu Wuzi asked with a suspicious look on his face.

"Uh--they call themselves the Eight Friends of Yunzhong. They seem to be Li Muzi, Tian Youzi, Lei Bozi, Guangtongzi, Jin Yuanzi, Zuo Wuzi, Cheng Jizi, and Nanhezi. Why, do you know any of them?" Wu Liang was a bit confused.

He looked at Xu Wuzi strangely and saw that his face changed, as if he had something on his mind.

"It's nothing, I've never heard of these Taoist names, I just feel a little familiar, maybe it's an illusion." Xu Wuzi said nonchalantly, and then returned to his seat.

"Brother Wu Liang, what were you talking about just now? Why can't sister Sophie and I understand a word?" Seeing that Wu Liang was fine, Anita quickly took Wu Liang's arm and kissed Wu Liang's cheek.

Wu Liang felt a little itchy, so he had to answer: "We are talking about some ancient things, about the five worlds. They are very far away, and even if we talk about them, you won't understand.

of."

"No, Brother Wu Liang, you have to tell us. I like to listen to ancient stories the most." Sophia immediately became energetic and stopped watching the competition. She quickly said softly, "Brother Wu Liang, don't you

Does it hurt Sophie?" Seeing Wu Liang's hesitation, Sophia coquettishly shook Wu Liang's arm.

"Okay, okay, no problem, I'll use my spiritual consciousness to send it to your consciousness sea, okay?" Wu Liang quickly responded.

"No! You have to tell us." Anita also objected at this time, and even twisted Wu Liang's arm.

"No, from today on, you have to tell stories to Sister Anita and me. It's a deal." Sophia also agreed, and then made a face with Anita, looking very cute.

"I'm afraid of you two. Okay, no problem. I'll take some time every day to tell you two about our ancient legends." Wu Liang spread his hands, really helpless. Ever since he started to try to care about them

When I was a child, I found that I was doting on them more and more. This seemed a bit strange. Could it be that it was really like what the eight friends in the cloud said?

A fairy family who cares little about honor and disgrace?

"Oh - Brother Wu Liang is so kind." Sophia quickly hugged Wu Liang's arm and pressed her body against it.

"Okay, we are ready to go back." Wu Liang said, trying to take his hand out, but found that there was nothing he could do, and quickly shouted: "Nicholas, Harold."

"Master, what are your orders?" Nicholas and Harold were watching intently when they heard Wu Liang's shout and hurriedly flew over.

"Go and talk to Taoist Mu Qing, we will go back first." Wu Liang ordered. Nicholas and Harold took the order and flew down.

Wu Liang spread the news to Mo Wentian and Mu Yunfei, and San Wangsheng, after being polite to them, notified Dragon God and Taoist Priest Xu Wu, Wu Ji and Yun Na, and then quietly went to work with Anita and Sophia.

moved back to the magic manor.
