024 Tengu
Seeing the fear in Xu Fu's eyes, I was stunned.
Why did Xu Fu react like this?
I feel that this is not simply fear, but a kind of confusion and awe of the unknown, and a fear of uncontrollable forces beyond his own knowledge.
It's like the first time an atheist saw a ghost, the first time I saw the sword falling from the sky in Qinglong Mountain, the first time the Taoist disciples in the world saw the cold man carrying a giant ruler...
This is a different kind of fear. This kind of fear does not mean that the other person is evil, but that it transcends one's own worldview.
Xu Fu had this look on his face at this time. It was obvious that he had encountered a problem that even he couldn't understand.
"Young people, it's better not to know some things. You have to know that there are some things in this world that we mortals can't understand after all. Those who don't know are fearless, so just pretend you haven't seen anything."
Xu Fu said this to me, and it seemed that I was right to allow such a master to call himself a mortal. It was a category beyond his understanding.
I was about to say something. He suddenly opened his eyes and looked at me, saying, "That shouldn't be the case. How could you see her? How could you see through that seal?"
I didn't tell Xu Fu that the scary woman might be my mother, but said, "It might have something to do with my identity. After all, I had the luck of being a human emperor in the hot summer. Maybe it has something to do with it."
Xu Fu frowned and said, "It shouldn't be. The Human Emperor is powerful, but this Human Emperor is no longer what he used to be. It's just a blessing of imperial luck. The current Human Emperor should not be enough to attract her attention."
After listening to Xu Fu's words, I almost spit out a mouthful of blood.
What is the Human Emperor? In the words of those Feng Shui masters, it is the existence that leads the rise and fall of Xuanmen, and is an expert who can break through the catastrophes in the world.
Xu Fu actually said that the Human Emperor could not get into the eyes of the woman at the bottom of the Nine Soul Tower?
It's not that Xu Fu looks down on the Human Emperor, but that woman may be too mysterious.
This made me more and more curious about her identity. Who is she? Is she really my mother?
"Senior Xu, tell me what's going on. Now that I've seen her, she has a connection. The world is mysterious, and maybe I can find some important clues from her story." I said to her.
Xu Fu said.
Xu Fu nodded and said: "That's all, I couldn't tell you. But since you bumped into me by mistake, it's okay to let you know in advance. That should have happened a thousand years ago. I was just in the tower at that time.
A low-level soul of the dead. This is not a complete personal experience, but through some hearsay later, I can basically figure out the whole story clearly. "
A thousand years ago, this time point was not simple. I couldn't help but think of two things that happened at this time point.
The first is that Emperor Chen Qing of the Song Dynasty rode on a four-legged coffin, ascended to heaven to kill the gods but failed, and was suppressed by Heaven. Finally, the coffin was pulled by Nine Dragons and suppressed on Qinglong Mountain.
And another thing happened in the Jin Dynasty that was sealed at the bottom of the Yellow River. Back then, I descended from the sky on a four-legged coffin, emerged from the sky, and took away the fate of the human emperor and came to the world.
It now appears that thousands of years ago, in addition to these two events, another major event may have occurred in Fusang at the same time, regarding the woman in white who was sealed at the bottom of the Nine Soul Tower.
This is definitely not a coincidence. I have a connection with her somehow. She may really be my mother.
The incident happened during the Heian period, when Fuso Xuanmen was already quite large-scale, and it was considered to be at its peak, somewhat similar to our Spring and Autumn period in the hot summer.
This was a very critical period for Xu Fu, because the Blue-Eyed Evil Clan made changes during the Spring and Autumn Period and launched a conspiracy against the Yanxia Xuanmen. However, it was reluctantly eliminated by our ancestors in the end.
So if the evil clan is also using and plotting against Fuso Xuanmen, it should be at this point.
To put it bluntly, this is like a power-charging and amplifying move.
The green-eyed evil tribe should not be able to come to our world. They need to use other evil magic to control some things, which requires the accumulation of time. When the time is right and the energy is sufficient, they can enlarge their moves.
For example, in the hot summer, their magic is to control evil spirits and release evil spirits in the world.
But in Fuso, they seem to have changed again.
Although Fuso Xuanmen at that time was not as vigorous as the hundreds of schools of thought contending in the Summer and Spring and Autumn Periods, there were many sects, large and small, and the moral principles of each sect were also different.
But the general direction is basically two factions, the left and the right. The debate is also about whether there are gods in the world, and whether the gods are helping Fuso Xuanmen, or they have other plans and are spreading the great net of heaven.
Among them, the most powerful representative of the right wing is Abe Seimei, the ancestor of Onmyodo. This is an Earth Saint-level Onmyoji, and can be said to be the first Onmyoji in the history of Fuso.
On the left is Master Domo of Ashiya Road. This person is extremely sinister. Domo is on par with Abe Seimei. He has so many fans under his command that he is half the sky of Fuso Xuanmen.
At that time, the King of Heaven, Hanayama Heavenly King, was also the leader of Shintoism.
Shinto has always been a left-wing religion that believes in gods. Every king of heaven will regularly go to the Nine Soul Pagoda to hold sacrifices and sacrifice his royal energy to the so-called gods in exchange for long-term peace and stability.
However, Hanayama King has his own understanding. He has a good personal relationship with the rightist Abe Seimei, and the two often discuss Taoism together.
They feel that human beings rule by humans, and the so-called sacrificing kingly energy to the gods is nonsense. They are selling out their own national destiny and letting the evil tribe get the destiny of the human race. Over time, they will become the opponent's puppet and become a puppet on a string.
So they want to change the concept of Fusang Xuanmen. They also know that the ancestors of Yanxia sacrificed themselves for others and sacrificed their lives for righteousness. They believe that the right wing derived from Qin Gong Dafu is the light of the right way.
They are waiting for the opportunity to seek change.
And Abe Seimei used his heaven-reaching ability and spent his Yangshou to perform a divination, and soon he discovered that there would be a catastrophe soon.
Sure enough, within two years, the world was in chaos, and natural and man-made disasters continued.
Major earthquakes, fires, floods...
The world is filled with all kinds of evil spirits, it can be said that a hundred ghosts walk at night.
For a time, people were panicked, and the chaos between ghosts and gods was rampant. The leader of the Shinto religion, Hanashan Tianwang, quickly received instructions from the 'spirits' through the Nine Souls Tower, the tower of the country.
He received an oracle from heaven that this natural and man-made disaster was caused by the Tengu.
To avert this calamity, the Heavenly King of Huashan needs to summon all the masters of Xuanmen in the world to gather in the Nine Soul Tower.
These onmyojis, who are above the heaven-level masters, need to kneel down and worship the gods devoutly, welcome the gods to the earth, and help them seal the tengu in exchange for peace in the world.
On the surface, King Hanayama has been practicing Shinto teachings and has always abided by the rules of previous kings, sacrificing his royal aura and national destiny, but with the help of Abe Seimei, he also has his own grand ambitions.
He and Abe Seimei calculated it together and thought that this might be the action of the alien race.
The so-called gods descending to earth mean that foreign races descend to Fusang.
So they decided not to destroy or establish, and took advantage of this opportunity to have a head-on confrontation with each other to see what the hell the god they had never seen before was.
The King of Huashan gave an order, and all the onmyojis above the heavenly level masters in the world gathered in the Nine Soul Tower.
