He was actually quite curious about the death of the previous Emperor Gouchen.
He was so high-ranking and powerful among the four great emperors in heaven, but he died as soon as he said he was going to die, and he died quietly, and almost no useful information could be found afterwards.
"Heavenly Court must have investigated it more than once, right? Marshal Zhao, bring over the case files. I want them all."
Renn stood up and walked into the study on the side.
"yes!"
Zhao Gongming ran to a library in the side hall and soon moved out a black iron box.
He walked into the study room, put the box next to the desk, picked up a few thick stacks of documents, and placed a piece of light blue jade Ruyi on the table.
Ren picked up the piece of jade Ruyi, felt the wisps of mist coming out of it, the unfathomable Tao Yun, and asked:
"What's this?"
"Yuan...a token of Saint Yuqing."
Zhao Gongming of Black Tiger Xuantan had a trace of fear in his eyes. He was obviously very afraid of Yuanshi Tianzun, and he whispered, "With this piece of jade Ruyi, you can go to Yuxu Palace in Kunlun Mountain to listen to Tianzun's sermon."
"Then what does this have to do with the fall of Emperor Gouchen?"
"Eight thousand years ago, when Tianzun was giving a sermon, Emperor Gouchen originally wanted to go to Yuxu Palace to listen to the Hunyuan Dao Fruit, but he suddenly changed his itinerary and went to Beiju Luzhou. The specific place where the emperor died is unknown, and no discovery was made.
There were blood stains on the body and traces of battle. Millions of heavenly soldiers and generals almost searched the area, and finally only found this piece of jade Ruyi."
Zhao Gongming explained, lowering his head subconsciously, with fear in his eyes.
"..."
Renn didn't know what to say for a moment.
Isn't this matter related to Yuanshi Tianzun?
Look, Zhao Gongming was so frightened that he couldn't even speak...
As if she saw something was wrong with Ren's expression, Jiutian Xuannu coughed lightly, brushed her bangs lightly with her bare hands, and said:
"Yao... Your Majesty Gouchen, Tianzun's suspicion is not high. In those few days, he was preaching in Yuxu Palace. There were many people listening to the sermon, including Zhenyuan Immortal, Lishan Mother, Ziwei Emperor, Taiyi Jiuzhu Tianzun
Many powerful people, including Laojun, also went there.
They can all testify that Tianzun never left Yuxu Palace during that time."
"That's it."
Ren touched his chin, his mind racing.
It sounds like there is no problem.
With so many powerful beings watching, Emperor Ziwei was also there, as well as Taishang Laojun, the incarnation of the Moral Heavenly Lord. The Yuanshi Heavenly Lord must have been preaching in his true form, and he could only send out one or two incarnations at that time.
There are no longer three corpses of Saint Hunyuan. They have long since merged into one and turned into Dao Fruit.
Therefore, the clones refined by saints or the ordinary incarnations chopped off will not actually be too strong.
For example, Taishang Laojun does not carry much power of the Moral God. Just an ordinary Da Luo may not be able to defeat Erlang Shen at this time without relying on magic weapons.
The incarnation clone of a saint, no matter how much its power is improved, it will reach the holy stage at most.
It would be very difficult for such a power to kill Emperor Gouchen silently, leaving him unable to even escape or call for help.
"What's the strength of the predecessor, Emperor Gouchen?" Ren asked.
"In the early stage of Quasi-Saint, the second corpse will be killed soon. The Great Emperor is the Martial God of the Three Realms, unparalleled in battle, and his strength is enough to rival the strong men in the mid-stage of Quasi-Saint."
Jiutian Xuannv replied.
This strength is not weak anymore.
According to Ren's perception, the Antarctic Immortal Emperor should be an ordinary mid-level quasi-sage, and his strength is similar to that of his predecessor, Emperor Gouchen.
Emperor Houtu didn't show up today, so it's hard to say. Considering the legend of the ancestral witch Houtu and Houtu's reincarnation, he is probably a ruthless character.
If Emperor Gou Chen is not dead after taking office, he will now be in the quasi-sage stage.
Generally speaking, the Four Imperial Guards of Heaven are not weak, and they are definitely not the kind of quasi-sage shameful, bottom-of-the-line parallel imports.
"The suspicion of Tianzun is not high," Ren said.
It may not be difficult for the saint incarnation to defeat Emperor Gouchen, but it is almost impossible to kill him silently.
It is difficult for powerful men like the Jade Emperor and Buddha to achieve this.
"Is there any other important information? Why did Emperor Gouchen suddenly change his schedule?" Ren asked.
This is very suspicious.
The opportunity to listen to the sermons of a saint is relatively rare. Emperor Gouchen will never change his itinerary unless something serious happens.
Jiutian Xuannv shook her head.
When Ren saw this, he could only start looking through the files, trying to find any clues.
Unfortunately, he soon became disappointed. Although there was a lot of information, there was almost no valuable information. He only asked the immortals in heaven when was the last time they saw Emperor Gouchen and if they found anything unusual.
He also interrogated some maids and guards in the imperial palace.
"On August 16, the year 61,235 of the Ancient Era, the emperor favored the maids in the palace, Fairy Qingshi and Fairy Ruby..."
Ren was holding a piece of gold paper with a strange expression.
Good guy, there is still such enjoyment.
Jiutian Xuannv coughed lightly and said: "Your Majesty, please don't read it out."
It's so embarrassing.
Some people may ask, can gods do such a thing?
Yes, absolutely.
The law of heaven prohibits immortals from falling in love with mortals, but it does not prohibit immortals from becoming Taoist couples, nor does it prohibit great gods from sleeping with several maids in private.
It is another story that Zhu Bajie molested Fairy Chang'e at the Peach Festival and was demoted to the lower world.
It may seem like a small matter, but it is actually of a bad nature.
For example, the emperor held a banquet in the palace for all the officials. It was such a grand and formal occasion, but you, a general, molested the maids in front of the emperor and empress. Isn't this looking for death?
This is "disrespect before the palace" and a serious crime.
The same thing happened to the general who rolled the curtain.
Breaking a glass cup is not a big deal in itself, but making this mistake at a peach festival is a bit serious.
The Spring Festival Gala does not allow such mistakes...
"It's all useless information."
Ren glanced through the files and threw them aside, "That's it?"
"that's it."
Zhao Gongming shook his head and said that he had no more clues or information.
"Has the Great Heavenly Lord ever used the Haotian Mirror to check?" Ren asked.
The "Haotian Mirror" can monitor the three realms and six realms, and also has the function of time retrieval. As long as it does not involve a saint or is interfered by the restrictions in the cave of a person with great supernatural powers, images can be traced back.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "After investigation, the emperor went to Beiju Luzhou on the way. As soon as he crossed the sea and reached the shore, the picture became blurry and could not be viewed further."
Zhao Gongming replied.
Ren frowned slightly, this was too weird, there were almost no clues.
Jiutian Xuannv seemed to have thought of something and added:
"Fairy Hongyu and Fairy Qingshi said that during that time, the emperor was a little excited and his needs... were relatively large, but they didn't know why."
"..."
What does this mean?
Ren put his hand to his forehead, feeling a little headache.
An unsolved case.
Check, how to check?
The only suspect who needs to be traced seems to be Yuanshi Tianzun.
To interrogate Yuanshi Tianzun?
Give me a break.
Who dares to investigate the Sanqing Saint without proof or evidence? Do you really think that Yuanshi Tianzun has a good temper?
I'm afraid I won't directly reward you with a Jade Pure Divine Thunder...
"You might want to go to Beiju Luzhou."
Jiutian Xuannv knew how difficult this matter was, and she did not dare to suggest that Ren go to Yuanshi Tianzun. She could only say this.
"I see."
Ren was noncommittal and had no intention of leaving immediately.
The predecessor, Emperor Gouchen, died there. To be able to kill a quasi-sage silently, no matter who he is or what the means, is no small matter.
If he goes to pursue it, he may not encounter danger.
Anyway, let’s take it easy in advance…
………
A few days later.
Beihai, Demon Master Palace.
Deep in the sea, the island of God is floating in the sky, and a series of extremely majestic palace buildings are connected together. The surrounding blue waves are rolling, forming several huge whirlpools, like the evil eye of the abyss, filled with billowing demonic energy.
This demon master's palace is very large, with thousands of palaces and palaces arranged in it. There is also a cave inside. The vastness of the space is comparable to the first level of heaven.
The Demon Master Palace has millions of elite demon soldiers under its command, including many heavenly and earthly immortals, as well as Taiyi Golden Immortal.
Since the Lich Tribulation in the prehistoric period, almost half of the demon clan’s heritage has been hoarded here.
Just like all top forces have their base camp, Beiju Luzhou, especially the depths of the North Sea, is dominated by the demon clan.
"Emperor Gou Chen? Future Buddha? They are just two juniors who have got bad luck. If they dare to offend me, they will all be filled in the eyes of the devil!"
At this time, a cold and domineering voice came from the central hall of the Demon Master's Palace, with a bit of ridicule and disdain.
No monster thinks this person is arrogant.
As the demon master of the demon clan's heaven in the ancient times, Patriarch Kunpeng's status was higher than that of the four emperors at that time, so he was qualified to say such things.
In front of him, Maitreya Buddha and Emperor Gouchen were just two young men in their infancy.
………
A few months later, the Netherworld Sea of Blood.
The sea of blood is surging and red, and countless innocent souls are wailing in it. The scene is chilling. A gloomy black palace stands on it, like an ancient city of death.
"Emperor Gouchen is still the Lord of the Stars, and can freely control the Zhoutian Star Formation? Interesting, interesting, hahahaha..."
The laughter of Patriarch Styx carries a terrifying demonic quality, arrogant, evil, and unscrupulous.
"Amitabha."
On one side of the Netherworld Sea of Blood, a solemn monk sat on a thousand-leaf green lotus with his hands clasped together, "The Emperor Gouchen has returned to the throne, and the Buddha will also be born in the future. This is really a blessing for all living beings in the Three Realms."
He wears a crown on his head and a cassock, holding a pearl in one hand and a tin staff in the other. He has a kind face, deep eyes, and an aura representing wisdom behind his head, giving people a compassionate and deep feeling.
Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva!
If hell is not empty, I will never become a Buddha. Only by saving all sentient beings can I realize Bodhi.
"I have heard that for a time the Buddha was in the Trayasa Heaven, teaching the Dharma for his mother. At that time, there were countless worlds in the ten directions...
At that time, the Tathagata smiled and released hundreds of thousands of billions of great light clouds, the so-called Great Perfection Light Cloud, the Great Compassion Light Cloud, the Great Wisdom Light Cloud, the Great Prajna Light Cloud, the Great Samadhi Light Cloud, the Great Auspicious Light Cloud, and the Great Fortune Light Cloud.
, the bright cloud of great merit..."
The Buddha's voice is mighty and merciful.
The golden Buddha's light shines on a small half of the sea of blood in the netherworld. The wronged souls no longer mourn, showing expressions of relief. They are transported to the underworld by the Buddha's light and reincarnate.
Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva said that hell is not empty and vowed not to become a Buddha. He would not teach Buddhism in the underworld or on the underworld, but he stayed at the Nether Sea of Blood every day, copying sutras and chanting Buddha's name, trying to save the Asura clan.
"Bald Donkey, it's so noisy!!"
Accompanied by the furious roar of the Styx Ancestor, the two innate killing swords of Ah Bi and Yuan Tu gleamed with cold light and slashed at him!
The black and white sharp edges cut through the sea of blood for hundreds of millions of miles, killing everything with overwhelming murderous intent.
"Amitabha!"
Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva did not dare to be careless and immediately appeared. His Dharmakaya had twelve heads and eighty-one hands, holding a necklace, an umbrella cover, a flower stem, a fish intestine, a golden bow, a silver halberd, and a precious file.
The golden bottle also supports the barrier of the Vajra womb.
Clang! Clang!
Abi and Yuantu's swords were like thunder breaking through the air, with a bloody edge that could kill all souls, and they struck the Vajra Embryo Barrier. The golden Buddha's light rippled, and they were on the verge of falling, but they still managed to hold on.
Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's Dharma body trembled and seemed to be struggling.
In terms of strength, he can't compare to this ancient old devil, the leader of the Blood Sea Styx.
After taking the next move, without saying a word, he drove the Thousand-leaf Green Lotus back tens of millions of miles in an instant, retreating into the passage of the underworld.
"Zhengzheng~"
The two swords of Abiyuantu are floating in the air, their sharp edges are revealed, and their evil aura is overwhelming.
Ancestor Styx seemed to have some scruples and did not forcefully break into the land of reincarnation. He snorted coldly and recalled his two swords.
Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva is just a junior, and he can only reach the realm of quasi-sages by relying on his great aspirations, so there is nothing to be afraid of.
But deep in the land of reincarnation, there was still hiding a great figure who was famous in the three worlds in the ancient times, and he didn't want to provoke her casually.
………
A few years later.
Looking south to Buzhou and east to the Kingdom of Shenhan.
"Master actually became one of the four emperors of heaven, and went to the emperor's palace. It's really unbelievable..."
Lu Daoren walked out of a fairy mountain blessed land with a bit of shock in his eyes.
These days, he was a guest in this immortal sect called Xuanwu Holy Land, and heard their leader in the realm of heavenly immortals reveal that a casual cultivator named Xingluo Daojun defeated many big bosses and became the new Emperor Gouchen of Heaven.
Spread to the Three Realms.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! He felt that the news was a bit dreamy.
Those are the four emperors of heaven!
Second only to Sanqing and Jade Emperor.
Because the position of the Three Pure Ones is a fictitious one and they usually do nothing, the Jade Emperor, the Queen Mother, and the Four Imperial Palaces are the core decision-makers of the Heavenly Court.
Emperor Gouchen is the marshal of war and horses who rules over the gods and is in charge of war, and the god of war in the three realms.
This is more than just a meteoric rise.
Reach the sky in one step and be proud of the three worlds!
Lu Daoren was a little excited. After following such a big boss, he still worried about having no future?
What does Master mean by that sentence?
Wuhu, take off!
"It's a pity that the teacher's dignity prohibits me from revealing my identity..."
Lu Daoren thought of his master's instructions and felt a little depressed. Just like what his master said on weekdays - if a person doesn't show off, there is no difference between him and a salted fish.
But then I thought about it, although the master has become the fourth emperor, he has also offended many big bosses. If he dares to show off, he may be easily affected.
For example, in the Xuanwu Holy Land just now, they enshrine the famous Northern Arctic Xuanling - Zhenwu Dangmo Tianzun.
Emperor Zhenwu's tragic loss of his position as Gouchen this time made the entire Holy Land angry and clamoring to run to the Northeast Sea to teach the Xingluo Immortals a lesson.
Mr. Lu was thinking wildly.
Suddenly, a green and black demonic light flashed in front, and a large amount of demonic energy spread, spreading for dozens of miles, accompanied by the smell of blood and short screams.
Niejia Village.
The originally peaceful and peaceful small village has been reduced to a living hell. People and animals are dead, blood is flowing everywhere, and the ground and walls torn by animal claws can be seen everywhere.
Some leftover broken bones and fragments of internal organs and intestines were scattered at the door of every house, which was extremely bloody.
"Roar!"
A green-haired wolf demon with a green face and fangs, the head of a human and the body of an animal, stood on both legs in the village ancestral hall, looking up to the sky and howling like crazy.
The billowing demonic energy can actually cause changes in the sky. The sky is quickly covered by dark clouds, with lightning and thunder.
This is the characteristic of monsters in the realm of gods.
"You evil beast! How dare you act cruelly in broad daylight!"
Lu Daoren made a magic formula, harnessed a cloud of breeze, and rushed towards him.
Seeing the bloody scene in the village, he immediately realized that he was too late and became furious.
"You deserve to die!"
Lu Daoren instantly pulled out the Green Thunder Sword from his back, raised the divine sword high, and the magical energy surged all over his body, "The Nine Heavens Xuansha, turned into divine thunder, and the brilliant power of heaven, led it with the sword!"
Boom!
In an instant, the wind roared, the clouds rolled, and the dazzling thunder descended from the sky like a golden snake, striking the wolf demon and seriously injuring it.
The wolf demon's hair was scorched black, it roared, its eyes were blood-red, and it was whipping up green and black wind, and rushed towards the Lu Dao people like a beast at the end of the road.
What greeted it was a green sword energy that cut through the dark clouds.
puff!
The green edge split the wolf demon in half in an instant, and blood splashed. The wolf demon's spirit tried to escape, but was annihilated by the thunder attached to the sword light!
Lu Daoren took back the Blue Thunder Sword with a heavy expression on his face. He searched Nie's village and found that all the residents in the village had been devoured by the wolf demon.
Unwilling to give up, he searched three times and found a little girl from the cellar of a house.
The little girl looked six or seven years old and wore braids. Due to the cold in the cellar and fear, her delicate and pink face was pale at this time, and she kept crying and coughing.
Lu Daoren sighed, took out the jade purification bottle, and gave her a sip of Tianshu Island's sacred spring water.
The little girl's face looked better.
He blindfolded her again to prevent her from seeing the remains of her parents at the door of their home.
The result was unexpected. The little girl insisted on seeing it and picked up a tablecloth to bury her parents' remains. After wrapping them up, her hands were stained with blood.
Two hours later.
Next to the lake behind the village, in a quiet forest clearing, there is a simple tombstone.
The little girl knelt on the ground, burning paper money, not crying or talking.
Lu Daoren sighed and said, "Little girl, what's your name?"
"I don't have a name yet, everyone calls me Nannan." The little girl said in a low voice.
Nannan means little girl.
It is very common for children in poor rural villages to not have a formal name when they were young.
Nannan, Erya, Goudan, Tiezhu, etc., call them first, and then when you have the opportunity, you can ask educated people or elders in the village to give them names.
After burning all the paper money, the little girl stood up with some dust on her hands.
"Nanny, can I give you a name?" Lu Daoren asked.
He decided to take the little girl away, but he had no choice. The Nie family village had been slaughtered by the wolf demon, and the little girl didn't even know she had any relatives.
The little girl didn't speak, she just looked at the tombstone in a daze.
Lu Daoren knew that she was acquiescing by not speaking. He looked up and saw that it was dusk. The dark clouds in the sky had dispersed and the lake was sparkling.
The clouds disappear and the rain falls, and the color shines brightly in the area.
The setting clouds and the lonely owl fly together, and the autumn water is the same color as the sky.
"Nanny, your parents' surname is Nie, why don't you call them Nie Yunxia, also known as Qiuxia."
Nie Yunxia, Nie Qiuxia?
The little girl's eyes brightened slightly, she looked back at him, nodded, and said:
"Okay, Master Lu."
She is obviously very smart and knows that she can only follow this Taoist priest in the future.
Lu Daoren was about to accept his first disciple when suddenly, the Zixiao sword behind him that had been silent trembled and emitted a hazy purple light.
His face changed slightly and he looked at the little girl in surprise.
Some kind of immortal sword body? Excellent bones?
"Qiuxia, you have a good talent, so I will take over as your master and accept a disciple. You can call me senior brother from now on." Lu Daoren took off the Zixiao Sword and threw it away.
The Zixiao Sword exuded a misty brilliance. It was originally heavier than Mount Tai, but now it was as light as a feather. The little girl Nie Qiuxia easily held it in her hand, and it automatically shortened and turned into a dagger.
She waved the dagger, with a hint of curiosity in her big watery eyes, and said:
"Master Lu...brother, are you an immortal?"
"Well, that should be it."
A few years have passed, Lu Daoren has returned to the Earthly Immortal Realm after completing the sixth level of the Sword Art. He scratched his head and explained, "But the inheritance of our sect is a bit special. It is not the traditional Jindan Dao, but the sword cultivator and sword immortal."
"Sword Immortal?"
"Yeah, flying with a sword, slaying demons and destroying demons, with sword energy spanning thirty thousand miles."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Lu Daoren puffed up his chest and said a little proudly.
He has already felt the power of the Sword Immortal. In the past few years in Nanzhan Buzhou, whether he was slaying demons or competing with others, he was always abusing people in the same realm.
The words "invincible at the same level" are written on his face.
Well, this is also due to the magic weapon.
The Green Thunder Sword is comparable to a top-grade innate spiritual treasure. Even with some seals and restrictions, it is still very sharp.
He has already earned the nicknames "Land Swordsman" and "Flying Thunder Swordsman", and is somewhat famous in the eastern area of Nanzhan Buzhou.
"Sword Immortal?"
The little girl looked at the purple jade-like dagger in her hand, her eyes a little sad, but she tried not to cry, "If I become a sword fairy, will I be able to slay demons?"
"Of course, junior sister's talent is very good, she may be able to surpass senior brother in the future."
Lu Daoren said with a smile.
In fact, he couldn't see anything special about Nie Qiuxia.
But Zixiao Sword reacted and directly chose her as its master, which was definitely not easy.
Nie Qiuxia waved her dagger, purple air filled the air, and the faint edge cut through the air. Her eyes were firm and she said:
"Then I will use this divine sword to sweep away the evil spirits in the world, kill all the demons in the world, and return a peaceful world to the world!"
Lu Daoren was surprised. He never expected that a six or seven-year-old girl could say such a thing.
After kowtowing a few more times in front of her parents' tombstones, Nie Qiuxia stood up, and under the orange-red sunset, two figures, one large and one small, left together.
The two of them killed demons and demons all the way, and after more than ten years, they came to the land of Kyushu in the Central Plains.
At this time, the Eastern Han Dynasty had been destroyed and all the heroes were vying for hegemony.
Because of the interference of the gods, the history of the Three Kingdoms has long been changed beyond recognition, but there is still a situation of melee between princes.
In more than ten years, Nie Qiuxia has grown up. She has a beautiful face like a fish and a goose. She has three thousand green hairs like a waterfall. She is graceful and can be called a peerless beauty. Her cultivation has made rapid progress. She has reached the seventh level and has entered the realm of immortals for the first time, almost surpassing Lu Taoist.
.
In ten years, from a mortal to an immortal, such a talent made Lu Dao people dumbfounded and secretly called perverted.
He has lived for hundreds of years. He was once at the peak of the Earth Immortal. He was a strong man and re-cultivated, but he was almost surpassed by his junior sister.
It is completely foreseeable that he will not be ahead for a few years.
This made Lu Daoren very happy, but at the same time he was shocked. He had asked his master before, and his master said that he had a good talent and was considered an innate sword body...
You can compare yourself to others and make people angry to death.
On this day, the two brothers and sisters came to Mount Emei.
The mountains are towering, the mist is misty, the fairy spirit is floating, the strange flowers and auspicious grasses are like unicorns, and the white apes are jumping on the dangerous peaks and rocks. It is rich in spiritual energy. It is a good treasure place.
"Junior sister, let's start a sect here."
Lu Daoren's eyes lit up and he suggested.
Nie Qiuxia looked at the powerful demonic energy lurking on the mountain, and didn't take it seriously. Her eyes were filled with color, a cold light flashed through her eyes, and she said calmly:
"Senior brother, if you establish a sect, what will it be called?"
