As for the center of the altar, what is being enshrined at the moment is a jade slab.
What is written on the back of the jade board is the scripture created by Tiandijun, which is ancient and profound.
As for the front, it is an imperial edict to slay demons written by Liu Guangzheng himself.
The imperial edict was red in color, but it was written with cinnabar mixed with the blood of Liu Guangzheng's fingertips.
It is true that the emperor has no apparent supernatural powers on earth, but his words and deeds have their own changes in aura.
Without the support of Da Cang's Qi, the eight Immortals alone would be nothing more than a daydream to support such a ceremony.
At this moment, with the completion of the ceremony, the world with a radius of more than ninety miles has undergone tremendous changes, and all kinds of objects can be seen by the person who presided over the ceremony.
"Knowing that there was an ambush ahead, he still took the initiative to enter the urn. It seems that he has absolute confidence in his Taoism."
Another immortal said.
"Strong people are confident, just like us. This time, don't we come with absolute confidence?!"
Someone said so.
…
On the other side, Zhao Cheng seemed to be taking a walk.
This boundary is still within Yongzhou, still dozens of miles away from the border, but with Taoist methods, it is easy to get over, and it doesn't matter how many gates are set up.
When Zhao Cheng approached the scope of the ceremony, he could clearly feel the changes in the world.
The already heavy world has become even heavier, like compressing a stone dozens or hundreds of times, making it stronger and even almost immortal.
This is the change of eight phases, or "yi"!
Although it is only a few immortals who perform this ritual, the ritual is just a key, which is only used to activate certain mechanisms that exist in the world itself. To complete this step, it does require strength, but it does not require huge power.
The ritual was running continuously. Before Zhao Cheng entered, the ritual only blocked the cause and effect and cut off the induction. But after Zhao Cheng came in, the operation of the ritual suddenly accelerated.
Originally, the plan of the Taoists was to wait for Zhao Cheng's team to reach halfway, use eight generals to rush into the formation and kill the enemy. First, kill all Zhao Cheng's men, and then completely distract Zhao Cheng's attention, so that the missile can be launched.
,To gain time.
But unexpectedly, the plan was completely unable to keep up with the changes.
Zhao Cheng, on the other hand, was not in a hurry, as if he was walking in his own back garden, relaxed and contented, not caring at all about the serial killings ahead. On the contrary, he was feeling the changes in this corner of the world and drawing some truth from them.
But despite this, Zhao Cheng's foot strength is so terrifying. Even though the suppression of Taoism in this world has appeared, Zhao Cheng is still extremely fast. Soon, he arrived near a dilapidated Taoist temple beside the road.
This Taoist temple, named Ziyang, was abandoned a hundred years ago. As for the reason, it was the Taoist priests of Ziyang Temple who hated the emperor at that time, so they directly cut down the mountain and destroyed the temple.
Of course, there are also rumors that Ziyang Temple offended not the emperor, but a certain eunuch, and thus suffered a misfortune.
After self-sufficiency, Ziyang Temple was abandoned. Because it involved imperial power, no one dared to occupy this place. Gradually, it became a beggar's den.
However, now that Yongzhou has returned to Zhao, there are no more beggars. According to the new dynasty's decree, as long as you register as a householder, you will have food to eat. Later, you will arrange a way out, either as a craftsman or as a farmer. This is much better than the precarious life of beggars.
Already.
Even if you are disabled, the New Dynasty will make appropriate arrangements.
Therefore, after the beggars left, the place completely lost its popularity.
However, when Zhao Cheng came to Ziyang Temple, he saw several young people walking in together. These people were dressed as rangers, with swords and firearms in their hands.
"Legend has it that the Ziyang Temple was exterminated not because it offended the emperor, but because Ziyang Temple had obtained a very powerful martial arts book. The great eunuch at that time liked martial arts very much and refused to give it to him when he asked for it.
Ziyang Temple was destroyed."
One of the young men said as they walked.
"Of course, it is said that the martial arts disappeared on the night when the family was exterminated. Some people say that the martial arts is actually still hidden in the Taoist temple and has not been taken away. But over the years, I don't know how many people have come here to look for it, but none of them have found it.
Half a harvest.”
"Gradually, this thing became more and more mysterious. It was said that only those who are destined to find it can find it."
"Since we are here, we just want to try our luck. What if we are the ones who are destined?!"
The young man said with a smile.
It doesn't really matter whether the legend is true or false. Even he himself doesn't believe in such things as fate. He just happened to be passing by when he came here. He thought about it and found it interesting, so he came here.
"If the martial arts were really powerful, how could Ziyang Guan be wiped out? Besides, those were things from a hundred years ago. In today's world, no matter how powerful the martial arts is, can it be compared to firearms?!"
"Think about Heiyun Village. Their owner once had a great reputation. He was said to be indestructible and invincible. He practiced kung fu and was invulnerable. But just half a year ago, he was used several times by a group of businessmen.
Hundreds of muskets, one shot to kill..."
A girl with a bright light in her eyes said.
The status of merchants used to be very low. If they wanted to do business, they had to pay protection fees to local martial arts villas and the like. Only in this way could they do business. It can be said that they were severely exploited.
The Black Cloud Village had a group of thugs that relied on the martial arts of its owner, and became famous for a while.
But as the Da Cang court began to sell arms, everything changed.
It is true that Heiyun Village also bought these things, but Heiyun Village relied on its powerful martial arts to exist in the first place, but the muskets evened out the gap in martial arts.
Even if he has been practicing martial arts for twenty years, facing a ten-man musketry team, he will die in one encounter.
Although Heiyun Village is powerful, there are more businessmen who can't stand it and are exploited. In the past, businessmen did not have the power, so they could only endure it. But now that they have gained power, they chose to resist without hesitation.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! And the result, of course, is the failure of martial arts.
"Yes, martial arts has been eliminated. A musket only costs twenty taels of silver, and a warrior needs at least ten years of cold and heat. As for the consumption of food and medicine, it is even more difficult to measure."
"It's about Taoism. It's said that when General Yingtian took the Heaven's Jueguan, the three-foot-high Qi shattered all things. No matter it was a musket or a cannon, it couldn't cross the three-foot-high chasm. This is the true way to be invincible."
Girls look down on martial arts, but they admire Taoism.
"How is it possible to have three Zhang Gang Qi? This matter is mostly just rumors. Don't those kings who seize dragons all like to do these ghosts and gods? The Taizu of Da Cang also said that he was the Golden Winged One.
Where is Peng’s reincarnation?!”
Another young man retorted.
"There are some things that you just need to listen to. I have also read some Taoist scriptures. Even if you become an immortal through Taoism, it is said that it is only three feet of Qi."
"It's about martial arts. I heard my grandfather say that my grandfather's grandfather saw with his own eyes a strong man who was invincible in martial arts. He had perfected the martial arts. He could punch people to pieces from a distance of one foot.
, but that was all a hundred years ago..."
"The man's surname seems to be Gu, yes, his name is Gu Daotian."
Several people were talking and walking towards the Taoist temple, but after taking a few steps, they felt a cold feeling.
Then, they felt like their souls were frozen.
"I didn't expect that after more than a hundred years, there are still people outside who know my name."
A voice rang out, and the speaker was an old man with white beard and hair. The strong ice aura was emanating from the other party. If someone with a weak spirit and will felt this cold aura, he would probably...
Being "frozen to death" alive.
This person is none other than Gu Daotian.
Different from the young posture he had in Beihai, he now has an old posture.
But in this posture, he is actually stronger, because all his vitality has been compressed to an extreme.
As for the few young people who entered by mistake, he just said a sigh of relief, and then stopped paying attention to them. They were just a few dusts.
At this moment, all his attention was on Zhao Cheng, who walked in from behind.
If these young people were nothing but dust, then at this moment, Zhao Cheng was like a terrifying sun in his eyes.
When he came in, all the coldness melted away, it was like in the legend, the place where the Holy Emperor is, is immune to all evil.
At this moment, Gu Daotian stared at the "sun" in front of him and said word by word: "Zhao Cheng, knowing that there are tigers in the mountains, went to the tiger mountains. This is certainly courageous, but it is not what an emperor did."
Zhao Cheng heard this and smiled: "It would be unwise to be an evil tiger, but how dare you call yourself a tiger if you are just a few domestic cats?!"
"If I were outside, I would indeed be no match for you."
"But here, you see, the sky has changed!"
The weather on this day was originally cloudy, but at this moment, the ceremony of Emperor Jun of Heaven brought about drastic changes in the celestial phenomena.
An oppressive aura passed down from the sky, and the oppressed person could hardly breathe. And above the nine heavens, there seemed to be endless thunder brewing in the thunder clouds, and it would fall down at any time.
Beat people to pieces.
On the other hand, looking back at the ancient Taoist Heaven, the Qi mechanism at this moment has indeed gradually become consistent with the God of Heaven.
Although he is a martial artist and has a different path from Taoism, in a very short period of time, he actually comprehended the essence of the Heavenly Emperor's Taoism and integrated it into his own martial arts.
This is no longer something that can be explained by pure talent, but is truly the result of the combined strength of heaven and earth!
