Gulu——
Gulu——
The wheels of the chariot crushed the stones on the roadside, and the Yujing Jinque carriage galloped along the winding mountain road toward the capital.
On the way, everyone also roughly learned about the experiences of Jin An and Master Qing Xi in the small underworld. When they heard that Master Qing Xi had been in a coma until now, their faces showed worry.
Hearing that Qingxi's condition was later stabilized and his vital signs stabilized, we collectively breathed a sigh of relief.
In a short period of time, my mood went up and down twice.
"It seems that this time the shackles of the world are broken, not only Uncle Lin's cultivation level has broken through, but Master Chi Yuan's cultivation level has also broken through to the fourth realm. Yujing Golden Tower has added another powerful Shinto man." Jin An took another look at Master Chi Yuan at this time.
Chi Yuan Zhenren and others in the carriage were slightly stunned, and then showed even more surprised expressions than Jin An.
Master Chi Yuan said happily: "Taoist Jin'an can see through the real details of this real person. It seems that there are still many details that have not been revealed during the few years that Taoist Jin'an has been trapped. Taoist Jin'an's cultivation has also broken through to the fourth realm!"
"
Jin An clasped his hands in his fists and said: "Master Chi Yuan has given me too much praise, and I can't bear it. I have indeed made a small breakthrough, but there is still a certain gap between me and the fourth realm."
Xuan Lei, the real person, had the loudest voice and said in surprise: "I remember that when Taoist Priest Jin An entered the Taoist Yellow Courtyard, he was already in the Immortal Queen Realm of the Martial Arts Master. He had a breakthrough in cultivation, but it was not the fourth realm, it was the pseudo-fourth realm.
!”
Jin An smiled and said nothing, which was a kind of acquiescence.
Everyone in the carriage held their breath for a moment, and then congratulated Jin An one after another.
Master Xuan Lei let out a long sigh: "The first time I met Taoist Priest Jin'an was in Jiangzhou Prefecture in the south of the Yangtze River."
"At that time, Taoist Master Jin'an was just entering the martial arts world, while I was already in the middle stage of the Three Realms, where Yuanshen had been traveling for many years."
"In just half a year, Taoist Master Jin'an has pushed ahead against the waves behind him. He is better than his predecessors. His realm has broken through to the pseudo-fourth realm. There is only half a step away from the fourth realm. And I am still polishing in the late stage of the third realm, and I am not that good.
Breakthrough quickly."
Master Xuan Lei is old enough to be Jin An's grandfather, but now he is being overtaken by a junior in his twenties. It is normal to have a lot of emotions in his heart.
"It seems that I did the right thing by killing the peacock Buddha mother to teach Taoist Master Jin'an." Master Chiyuan suddenly changed the subject.
This time, Jin An was stunned: "The Peacock Buddha Mother is dead?"
Chi Yuan's face darkened: "It's not too late yet."
Master Xuan Lei on the side told the story in detail.
The shackles of the Yang Realm had just been broken, and the strongest members of the pseudo-fourth realm collectively ushered in a wave of breakthroughs. When something unexpected happened, they found a place nearby to retreat and break through.
In order to ensure the safety of the retreat and to guard against being attacked at critical moments, mainly to be wary of foreigners such as the Tianzhu and Rakshasa people who were traveling with us, the retreat place chosen was very secluded. The mountain was hollowed out and dug deep underground.
What happened next is not difficult to guess.
When they came out of seclusion, they found themselves in an underground palace. The Taoist Yellow Courtyard outside had undergone earth-shaking changes. The Yellow Springs River had turned into Gobi, the mountains had turned into sand dunes, and the underworld had turned into a world of extreme yang.
If they were not close to the passage to the underworld and had no connection with the elders of Yujing Golden Tower who were staying near the passage, they would not have been able to find the passage so smoothly.
After the chaos of the initial sneak attack on the Yangjian Passage, as many forces reacted, the situation was quickly stabilized, and the Yangjian and Netherworld Passages were re-established.
It was only when everyone returned to the earthly world that they discovered that Jin An and Qing Xi had not returned. They waited and waited for the two of them.
Later, a big event happened and everyone was recalled to the capital.
Due to the breaking of the Four Symbols Bureau of Duantianjiedi, the mountain god stirred up the mysterious clouds in the sky and the earth, and the world was in turmoil. The gates of ghosts were wide open in various places. It was not uncommon for evil soldiers to take advantage of the situation. Memorials of murder cases from various places were sent to the Jade Capital like flying snow.
Que, Zhenguo Temple, Tianshi Mansion, they were recalled to the capital to participate in the war to slay demons and re-right the world.
After a month or two of slaying the demons, and with the world finally settled, everyone returned to the capital. When they learned that Jin'an and Qingxi had not returned to the world of mortals, Chiyuan, who was concerned and confused, wanted to kill the Peacock Buddha Mother to enlighten Jin'an.
, take the peacock Buddha mother to sacrifice to the sky, pray for Jin'an and ensure peace.
However, Master Chi Yuan passed through the entrance of Wu Zang Taoist Temple three times, but failed to kill the Peacock Buddha Mother to help Jin An attain the Taoism.
Because the world is in chaos, the people are eager to find spiritual beliefs. However, Jin'an, which has a large amount of incense among the people, is not in the Wu Zang Taoist Temple. The statue of Qianyan Taojun, the god of seeking children, who also has a large amount of incense among the people, is not in the Wu Zang Taoist Temple. The incense believers in the Wu Zang Tao Temple
Finally, they worshiped the Peacock Buddha Mother, who was compared to the palace fairy by scholars and scholars, and prayed for good weather and good luck, and to drive away evil spirits and avoid misfortunes.
Scholars, farmers, businessmen, and scholars have always been superior to others. They were sought after by the scholars in the capital and descended to earth as fairies. The common people also followed the trend and worshiped the Peacock Buddha Mother.
Although Master Chi Yuan is already in the fourth realm, he cannot go against the general trend of the world and act recklessly, so he always returns empty-handed after passing through the entrance of Wu Zang Taoist Temple three times.
Hearing that Peacock Buddha Mother had such a tortuous experience, Jin An couldn't help shaking his head and laughing.
Later, Jin An asked about the whereabouts of Taoist Zhanmu and Taoist Qingfeng. Why didn't he see these two seniors?
Master Chi Yuan, Master Xuan Lei, and Uncle Lin looked at each other and then told a shocking news.
Uncle Lin looked solemn: "Let me tell you this. At that time, you were all still in the Taoist Yellow Courtyard and you hadn't come out yet."
"This time the break of the Four Symbols Bureau of Duotianjiedi not only affected the spiritual world, but also caused a big shock in the secular court."
"The imperial court planned to hold an ancestor worship ceremony to pray for the heaven and the people before this natural and man-made disaster, praying for God's good weather and peace for the country and the people. However, the ancestor worship ceremony cannot be without the national master. Before the body of the original national master was found, Emperor Kang Zhao suddenly issued an edict
, ordered the new Imperial Master to take office immediately and have full authority to preside over the ancestor worship ceremony."
Jin An raised his eyebrows and asked who the new Imperial Master was?
Uncle Lin continued to say solemnly: "This person calls himself Immortal. He has unfathomable attainments in Feng Shui, divination, and Qimen Dunjia. He is proficient in many long-lost ancient scriptures of the Great Dao. He is even the only three elders of the Eight Views Sect in the Tianshi Mansion.
They all regard him as a distinguished guest in the Tianshi Mansion, grant him the title of worshiping the elder, and bear the name of the Tianshi Mansion."
"And on the day when the new Imperial Master Tian became Imperial Imperial Guard, the remnants of Bulao Mountain's livestock-making old man and the headless monk accepted the new Imperial Guru's recruitment, and presented a detailed map of Bulao Mountain and a list of all treasure places as a certificate of submission.
"
"Several uncles, together with Tianshi Mansion and Zhenguo Temple, went to Bulao Mountain with the new national teacher to explore the undiscovered secrets of Bulao Mountain."
When he heard that the old man who made livestock and the headless monk took the initiative to surrender to Kang Dingguo, Jin An was obviously startled, and then his face darkened.
"I have dealt with these two Shouyuan Demons. They are both brutal by nature and kill without blinking an eye. The old man who makes animals takes pleasure in artificial animals, and the headless monk is good at deceiving people. They are not kind-hearted people."
"Why did these two people surrender to the Kangding imperial court for no reason? This newly appointed national advisor is not an easy person."
Jin An still didn't say a word in his heart. It was a troubled time, and monsters appeared frequently. When things go wrong, there must be monsters...
Gulu gulu——
The axle pressed against the stones on the roadside and jumped from time to time. The carriage was going up the mountain road.
Uncle Lin raised his hand to set up a barrier, to be careful of the ears next door, and then solemnly said: "Several uncles and Taoist Master Jin'an all have the same concerns, so they plan to risk going deep into the tiger's den to see what happens to the old man who made livestock and the headless monk.
What kind of medicine is sold in the gourd?"
"I also wanted to indirectly test what the new national master's methods were, and how he was able to convince Emperor Kang Zhao and the remnants of Bulao Mountain successively, and also to test out the new national master's path and where he came from."
Jin An frowned and pondered for a while, then asked again: "How will the court discuss the ancestor worship ceremony?"
"Ministers from various ministries wrote letters one after another, praising Emperor Kangzhao for his hard work in governance and strong national strength. This time, he used his troops like a god to drive away tigers and devour wolves. He destroyed the steppe Khanate and completed the great cause that several dynasties in history had failed to accomplish. He established the prestige of the Han people and protected the country.
The country's borders have been peaceful for thousands of years. This achievement is the first of its kind in history and has been recorded in the legends of history. Every day, we implore Emperor Kang Zhao to hold an ancestor worship ceremony as soon as possible to comfort the ancestors and ancestors who have spirits in heaven, and to continue to ensure the peace of Kang and the country for generations to come."
"Today is the time when the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs has written a letter to urge us to hold an ancestor worship ceremony to tell the world about the power of Kangding and the great talents and strategies of Emperor Kangzhao."
"Tomorrow, the Minister of Rites will write a letter to request that the ancestor worship ceremony be held..."
"The day after tomorrow, the imperial censor of the Yushi Mansion wrote a letter requesting to hold an ancestor worship ceremony..."
…
Jin An: "How did Emperor Kang Zhao express his position?"
Uncle Lin: "They all returned the memorials on the grounds that 'their merits are too low to enter the ancestral temple'."
Jin An sneered.
He said he didn't want to be greedy for merit, but in actual actions, the whereabouts of the old Imperial Master's body were still unknown, so he was already eager to consecrate the new Imperial Master and take office.
It seems that Emperor Kang Zhao was anxious to get himself a golden statue in the royal ancestral temple and write down his great achievements in the genealogy.
"After hearing what you said, Uncle Lin, I kind of want to meet this new national master for a while."
Jin An: "Did the great elder of the Dashi Kingdom leave the body of the former national master before leaving?"
Uncle Lin nodded: "The Great Elder, in the name of the Five Zang Taoist Temple, has handed over the remains of the old Imperial Master to his family for burial."
Jin An nodded: "Die in peace, this is considered a good death."
The matter of the new Imperial Master had been revealed for the time being, and Jin An asked about the ruins of Dongtian Paradise.
To be continued...
