On the first day of the first lunar month of the New Year in the Dayu Empire, the world was full of joy and noise. Children were chasing and playing, and the faces of adults were also filled with happy and stable smiles. It was really a worldly scene.
However, in the Xingqing Palace in Xishan, the atmosphere at this time was extremely solemn.
"My lord, you said that the Qi practitioners in Tiandi Mountain are trying to cover up and deceive themselves and others. What is going on?"
The Bagua fire in Xie Heng's heart was burning brightly, and he was completely attracted by the secret in the mouth of Ling Yun Gourd.
They didn't even notice Yixian's increasingly cold gaze at this moment. They didn't even notice the embarrassment that Xuanyuan Ren and the others were feeling.
Glancing at the extremely ugly Yixian, Ling Yun Gourd's lips curled up with a trace of sarcasm as he looked at the cold expression.
"Little guy, why, are you people in Tiandi Mountain so taboo about this matter?"
Having said this, Ling Yun Gourd even snorted coldly.
"Hmph! The disciples of Tiandi Mountain are really inferior to each other. Look at your current moral character, you still don't have any of the spirit of the Emperor Shenxiao back then."
"Senior taught me this."
Yixian responded lukewarmly.
"It's just that after all, these are my family affairs in Tiandi Mountain. If Fellow Daoist Xie and Senior are interested, I should tell Senior and Fellow Daoist Xie that it is fate between you and me."
"only……"
Yixian glanced at Xuanyuan Ren and others in Xingqing Palace, and his voice became colder.
"It's just these few Taoist friends in the human world."
"Could it be that you also have this leisure and elegance and want to know the secret of my Tiandi Mountain?"
Yixian's ice-cold voice, as cold as the wind howled, reached the ears of Xuanyuan Ren and the others, and they felt an extremely strong killing intent instantly envelope their bodies.
In an instant, Xuanyuan Ren and others' goosebumps rose up. Their hearts tightened as if they had been stung by a poisonous bee.
After a while, Xuanyuan Ren secretly wiped the cold sweat from his temples and said slowly:
"Hey, fellow Taoist Yixian is joking. We have never intended to inquire into any secrets of Tiandi Mountain. Please don't get me wrong, fellow Taoist."
Seeing Xuanyuan Ren and others looking at a loss what to do, Xie Heng also realized that this kind of secret knowledge might not be harmful to him, but it was just to add some knowledge to him.
However, for the currently weak human race, this is really a life-threatening talisman.
Because of the Xuanyuan Order, the human race had already offended the Dao Sacrifice Sect. If Tiandi Mountain resented him because of his temporary curiosity, then the human race would be in an even more difficult situation.
Thinking of this, Xie Heng said apologetically:
"Fellow Taoist Xuanyuan, if nothing happens to you, please leave for now. After everything is over, Xie and the Great Master will come to find some more Taoist friends."
After saying that, Xie Heng raised his eyes to look at Yixian and asked with a smile:
"Fellow Taoist Yixian, what do you think?"
Hearing this, Yixian glanced at Xuanyuan Ren and the others and just snorted coldly.
Seeing Yixian, they had no objection. The few people immediately felt as if they had been granted amnesty and handed over to Xie Heng and Ling Yun Gourd.
"Thank you, fellow Taoist. Then I will wait in the Imperial Capital to await the arrival of fellow Taoist and seniors."
"Farewell."
After saying that, these old men left here in a hurry, as if they were running for their lives, and galloped towards the Imperial Capital.
"Fellow Taoist Yixian, now that several Taoist friends in the human world have left, there is no need to worry that the secrets of your sect will be leaked."
"Now, fellow Taoist, you should be relieved."
Looking at Yixian imprisoned in the void by the Ling Yun Gourd, Xie Heng smiled lightly and said calmly.
"Haha, thank you, fellow Taoist, you do have a compassionate heart."
Yixian's voice was full of sarcasm.
"Senior, please let this junior go."
Turning to look at the calm and graceful Ling Yun Gourd, Yixian's originally somewhat suppressed voice actually became calmer.
"Since I thank my fellow Taoist and seniors for being so interested in the secrets of my Heavenly Emperor Mountain, I will tell you a few words."
"Master Lingyun, let him go."
Hearing this, he glanced at Yixian with a calm expression. As he waved his sleeves of the Ling Lun Gourd, the invisible power of imprisonment disappeared in an instant.
After a little movement of his hands and feet, Yixian looked at Xie Heng and Ling Yun Gourd with an inexplicable meaning in his eyes.
"Thank you, fellow Taoist, senior. This is not the place for conversation. Please come down with me."
As soon as he finished speaking, Yixian flew directly to a nearby mountain peak.
"Boy, don't you really want to know the secrets of Tiandi Mountain? Let's go."
After saying that, Ling Yun Gourd flashed and was already chasing Yixian ahead.
Looking at the two people leaving, a thick fog suddenly rose in Xie Heng's heart, which lingered and could not be dispersed for a long time. He murmured to himself:
"Strange, why Brother Calabash is so unusual today, he actually took the initiative to help me explore the secret of Tiandi Mountain."
At the thought of this, Xie Heng's heart skipped a beat and he followed him. He wanted to see what was going on in this damn gourd's belly.
On a desolate peak in the Western Mountains, thick clouds floated in the sky, and the surrounding white snow bent the branches and dead leaves. In the thin sunlight poured down by the scorching sun of the first month, there was no sign of melting.
The next moment, three figures appeared on the top of the mountain. Ling Yun Gourd looked around for a while, then the figure flashed, and he lay down comfortably on a huge lying cow stone, closed his eyes and rested.
A somewhat pleasant voice slowly sounded in the mountains and fields.
"Let's talk."
Looking at the chill and desolation of winter in this wilderness, both of them fell into silence for a while.
After a while, Xie Heng slowly asked:
"Fellow Taoist Yixian, this place is inaccessible, not to mention the Great Master Ling Yun is here. We don't need to worry about anyone eavesdropping. We can have a good chat."
Yixian turned around and looked at the intense curiosity in Xie Heng's eyes. The corner of his eye glanced at Ling Yun Gourd's calm face, and Yixian couldn't help but sigh slightly.
A feeling that everyone is a knife and I am a fish suddenly came to my mind.
"Haha, thank you fellow Taoist, the so-called secrets are actually just some old memories."
"Actually, in the world of cultivating immortals, anyone who has practiced for a certain age basically knows it."
After a long time, Yixian's voice came slowly amidst the howling north wind.
"Everyone knows?"
Hearing what Yixian said, Xie Heng was also slightly stunned.
Ignoring Xie Heng's surprise and confusion, Yixian asked softly:
"Thank you, fellow Taoist, do you know why our Heavenly Emperor Mountain has the so-called Heavenly Rules?"
After saying that, Yixian immediately laughed at himself, with even a hint of bitterness and unwillingness in his voice.
"Come to think of it, fellow Taoists must think that I, the people of Tiandi Mountain, are too arrogant and arrogant, and even call the rules of their own sect the rules of heaven."
For a moment, Xie Heng felt extremely embarrassed. What he was thinking in his heart was exposed by the real person in front of him, and his face couldn't help but feel a little hot.
Yixian looked at the towering mountains in the distance and the dusk snow in the mountains, with a somewhat desolate look on his face.
"Haha, thank you fellow Taoist for not having to be so cramped."
"Actually, it's not just you who think so, fellow Taoist Xie. I also had the same thought in my mind when I was taken to the mountain gate by my master and heard the rules of this sect."
Yixian turned around and looked at Xie Heng. His expression no longer had the usual unruly look of a Tiandi Mountain disciple, but instead added a bit of helplessness and bitterness.
"Fellow Taoist, you know, when I first heard Master explaining this so-called law of heaven, I had mixed feelings in my heart."
Listening to Yixian's somewhat self-deprecating words, Xie Heng looked startled and said lightly:
"Please also ask fellow Taoist Yixian for advice."
In Yixian's slightly deep voice, a secret from ancient times appeared in front of Xie Heng, which made him feel ups and downs.
Millions of years ago, ever since the founder of Tiandi Mountain, Emperor Shenxiao, was punished by heaven and had his Taoist base and spiritual platform shattered, his cultivation has plummeted.
The gates of the Xuanqiong Imperial Palace were crumbling and almost overturned under the combined pressure of the immortal sects of the three religions.
And Emperor Shenxiao is worthy of being the founding father, and his decisiveness and courage are beyond the reach of others.
In order to preserve the foundation of Xuanqiong Imperial Palace, Emperor Shenxiao had to teach the three religious sects the method of refining the heart lamp.
At the same time, as the founder of the religion, he made three major oaths to Heaven.
First, all disciples and disciples of Tiandi Mountain must not disobey God's will. Everything must be done in accordance with God's will, and it is their responsibility to obey God's will.
Secondly, the natal heart lamp of Tiandi Mountain will not appear in the wilderness and be used to summon the souls of the dead.
These two avenue oaths were engraved on the stone tablet next to Feihong Bridge to warn future generations.
And Emperor Shenxiao also relied on this Heavenly Dao oath to gain the recognition of Heavenly Dao, thus preserving the foundation of Tiandi Mountain.
"Today, the ancient times have gone far away, and my disciples have been laughed at by the three sects for millions of years because of this so-called law of heaven."
"Even some casual cultivators from blessed places are constantly discussing behind their backs."
"Even though my sect is at the height of its popularity, occasionally, someone will still use this so-called law of heaven to mock the disciples of my sect."
As he spoke, Yixian's expression suddenly became helpless and unwilling. In the end, these unwillingness and helplessness just turned into a long sigh, which dissipated between the sky and the earth along with the whistling and whimpering north wind.
Looking at Yixian's helpless and bitter expression, Xie Heng had mixed feelings in his heart.
He admired Emperor Shenxiao's decision, but also sympathized with Yixian and other disciples.
Come to think of it, people up and down the Heavenly Emperor Mountain are miserable when faced with the so-called Heavenly Law. Not only do they have to face the ridicule of the entire world of cultivating immortals, but they also have to act on behalf of Heaven under the supervision of Heavenly Law, and even more so, they are invisibly offended.
Few people.
In the end, in order to deal with the various grievances of the three religions, they could only pretend to be doing justice for heaven and fearlessly.
Come to think of it, I'm actually feeling miserable inside.
Thinking of this, Xie Heng also sighed slightly in his heart.
"Thank you, fellow Taoist. Now I have told you all the secrets you want to know. If there is nothing else, I will take my leave."
After venting all the depression in his heart, Yixian's mind seemed to be relaxed. At this moment, his whole temperament became slightly different from before.
Xie Heng couldn't help but marvel at this scene.
"Boy, are you still planning to find those royal ancestors in the human world and ask about the whereabouts of your junior brother?"
At this moment, the somewhat lazy voice of Ling Yun Gourd came to their ears.
"Senior, I know that Kunlun has a close relationship with the human race. However, it is hard to disobey the master's orders. Please forgive me, senior."
Yixian bowed towards the spiritual gourd on the lying cow stone, his words full of stubbornness.
"Haha, little guy, you still have a bad temper."
Glancing at the stubborn-looking Yixian, Ling Yun Gourd chuckled, but there was a hint of ridicule in his tone.
"Don't you worry about your own safety?"
