At that time, Venerable Sikong and his disciple Zhang Jizhou Rongyu promised to serve Taiyi for two hundred years, and Yu Yao and other defeated prisoners promised to serve Taiyi for three hundred years.
Now three hundred years have passed. Venerable Sikong, his disciples Zhang Jizhou and Rong Yu have long chosen to continue to be worshippers. However, some of the defeated prisoners such as Yu Yao have become official officials, some are still worshipers, and some have left.
Yes, most of the current spirit mirrors enshrined were recruited later.
It can be said that this is the result of two-way selection.
After the discussion, twenty-seven Lingjian worshipers chose to join Taiyi, one or two were willing to transfer to the academy system as guests, and three or four monks decided to leave.
Venerable Sikong and Dragon Turtle Demon Emperor are at different levels and have different concerns. It is the most difficult to convince them.
When Zhan Changfeng met with them respectively, Venerable Sikong came up and asked, "What do you mean by the Imperial Court?"
Her answer was unambiguous, "The Imperial Court is the way of all things, and not just the way of all things. I require that those who enter the Imperial Court should have a big picture that is free from all common ideas, and have a heart to seek the Tao, and think about it after thinking about it.
Go, maybe only those who return to the Void Path can do this."
"To put it simply, the Imperial Court will take heaven and earth as its sect, inherit the way of heaven and protect all living things. I respect the way of humanity, but I also respect other ways. I invite Venerable Sikong to the Imperial Court because I hope that the Venerable can supervise the Imperial Court on behalf of the way of humanity.
However, we must also ask the Venerable One to attach great importance to the Way of Heaven and uphold the heart of all things, instead of siding with the Holy Land or being hostile to other Taoist traditions with prejudice."
Venerable Sikong lowered his eyes and pondered, "Over the years, I have seen the changes in Taiyi. You really want all the paths to coexist, but can you really do it?"
"If the situation of coexistence of all the ways in the Oneness is not enough to convince His Holiness?"
"The Ten Thousand Star Monster Clan has invaded Fengyun, what should you do?"
"Anyone who invades our territory, no matter who he is, is an enemy."
"Then how do you explain to the monsters in Taiyi?"
"The Taiyi Demon Clan is not the Ten Thousand Stars Demon Clan."
"But you are a human. The demon clan in Taiyi will really trust the king who is essentially a human. With all due respect, I, a human being, can't believe that a demon who has practiced Taoist skills can become the Emperor of Heaven."
Zhan Changfeng rubbed the tea cup with his fingertips and said with a low smile, "If I am neither a human nor a demon nor a ghost nor an immortal nor a Buddha, will all races and orthodoxies regard me as an alien?
I practice the way of heaven and earth. If you want to worry about my roots, what else can I say? Of course, I know what your venerable master wants to say is that I cannot convince the Taiyi Demon Clan and let the Taiyi Demon Clan do it for
Taiyi, go against the Ten Thousand Stars Demon Clan and even the Demon Clan’s Holy Land Spirit Talisman Sea.”
"That's right." Venerable Sikong drooped his eyes, "My abilities are all from the martial arts religion. I can put Taiyi first in everything, but if you ask me to deal with the martial arts clan, I can't do it. There is a constant disconnect between us.
inheritance.
Among all demon clans, there is a bloodline level that cannot be ignored. The great demon in the Holy Land is an existence that all demon clans fear and respect.
The demon clan may fight among themselves, but they are extremely xenophobic when dealing with other races, unless..."
Venerable Sikong made a heart-breaking statement, "If you ask the demon clan to practice Taoist techniques and teach them Taoist rituals, it is possible to achieve a harmonious situation in which humans and demons coexist."
"They can choose to practice Taoism, but I can't force them. This goes against my ideals."
"You want too much, I can't believe it. Just look at the attack of Wanxing this time. How many monsters in the Fengyun Realm, including you in Taiyi, will turn against Wanxing."
Venerable Sikong left the table, "I will go to the Fengyun Alliance to help, and will not participate in the ascension to the heaven. If you can still control the monsters in Taiyi after the Wanxing incident, I will join Taiyi. From then on, I will take Taiyi as the main one and give all my help."
you."
Zhan Changfeng was not afraid. He raised the tea cup and said, "It's settled."
"..." Venerable Sikong really didn't know what to say to her. Seeing how indifferent she was, she felt so stuffy in her chest, "Just take care of yourself."
Zhan Changfeng was not too surprised. Venerable Sikong was an orthodox humane, and the demon clan had deep entanglements with humanity. It was reasonable for him to say such a thing.
To put it bluntly, this is also a strange phenomenon. The humans, demons, ghosts, immortals, and Buddhas in the Six Holy Lands are trying their best to maintain balance, while the humans, monsters, ghosts, immortals, and Buddhas in the Nine Heavens are competing for victory.
Perhaps the struggle in the Nine Heavens is the non-contention in the Six Holy Lands.
Zhan Changfeng thought for a long time, invited the Dragon Turtle Demon Emperor, and said bluntly, "The Wanxing Demon Clan has attacked Fengyun, what do the Demon Emperor think?"
The Dragon Turtle Demon Emperor came in human form. He squatted on the table and said lazily, "I made a blood oath to guard the sea for Taiyi for ten thousand years. What else can I do?"
He moved his eyes again, "As agreed, I can only guarantee the sea area, and the rest is none of my business."
"How about entering the Emperor's Court? Once you enter the Emperor's Court, you can guarantee that Taiyi will never treat the demon clan badly."
"Shouldn't this be something you have to guarantee?" Long Gui looked lazy and had a flexible mind. He understood that Zhan Changfeng meant that his entry into the Imperial Court meant that the demon clan had a certain status in Taiyi.
To be honest, he was a little tempted, but he had to be cautious about this kind of thing. If one day this person suddenly went to deal with the demon clan quasi-sage, wouldn't he also have to die?
Zhan Changfeng said, "My guarantee is only useful if you believe it. Do you believe that I can allow the demon tribe to survive freely? Do you believe that I can allow the demon tribe to occupy a certain position in Taiyi?"
