Chapter 134: The Three Saints of Fire Cloud Cave Ask (Part 1)
One of the two-horned saints said: "It turns out that Emperor Shang is here in person. Please get up quickly. I just figured out that there is a distinguished guest coming from Chaoge. I didn't expect it to be your majesty!"
Listening to his tone, Zhang Zixing guessed that he was Fuxi, the leader of the Three Emperors, who was Nuwa's elder brother. Thinking of Nuwa's resentment towards him, he couldn't help but beat his heart and said quickly: "All three of them are saintly emperors, and they will be famous forever.
How could Zixin be so virtuous, how could he dare to say the word 'Your Majesty' in front of three saints?"
Fuxi smiled slightly, but said nothing. Shennong, who was surrounded by tiger and leopard skins on the left, said: "Your Majesty is too modest. Your Majesty has written three letters to relieve the slaves and bring down the rain... The whole world is convinced, and all the people praise it. This merit is immeasurable.
The three of us are very pleased that there is an emperor like this in the human world."
Zhang Zixing knew as soon as he heard that the art of rain could not be hidden from ordinary people, but it could not be hidden from such a powerful person with great supernatural powers. He did not defend himself at the moment and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, the Emperor of the Earth, grows grains, tastes hundreds of herbs, and stands upright.
The art of medicine is an unparalleled achievement. Compared with Zi Xin's meager reputation, it is like a firefly compared with the sun and the moon. Zi Xin actually admired the three saints very much, tried to use the three saints as examples, and determined to serve all people in the world.
It’s a blessing. It’s a pity that there was a disaster in the clan. King Qi of Yue colluded with Zhu Tianlin, a disciple of Lu Yue, and used some magic to make all the people in the county bedridden. They chanted incessantly and had no peace day and night. Even the concubines in my palace were poisoned.
, life is at stake. Zi Xin Jin has a special golden face, shows great compassion, rescues innocent creatures, and is actually recreating great kindness, and his virtue is as deep as the ocean!"
Fu Xi thought for a while and said to Shen Nong on his left: "I hope that I will be the king, and we will coordinate the Eight Diagrams, establish rituals and music, and there will be no disasters. Now that the destiny is not clear, and the killing disaster has not yet come, so many living beings have been ruined, which is against humanity."
My brother must not quit his work and turn to Zhou Gong."
"Brother Emperor, what you said makes sense." Shennong nodded and asked Zhang Zixing: "Your Majesty is well versed in pharmacology and once wrote the book "Baicao Jing", which is a classic for doctors all over the world. Why are you so helpless against this poison?"
Zhang Zixing shook his head and sighed: "If it's just a common epidemic, how can we disturb the three Holy Emperors? But this plague is particularly powerful and cannot be cured by ordinary medical skills. I have tried many times but it doesn't work, so I came here to ask for help from the three majesties.
.”
Shennong asked Zhang Zixing carefully about the symptoms of the plague. When he heard about the poisonous living creature in the river, he sighed: "Everything must have a yin and yang. There are techniques to heal people, and there are techniques to harm people. This is an unusual disease.
This is the method used by the Shangqing Sect to treat plague poisons. It is so mysterious that it is no wonder that even your medical skills cannot detoxify it."
Zhang Zixing was afraid that Shennong would be exposed if he discussed medical issues with him again, so he immediately begged Shennong to be merciful and treat Chaoge Shangxia. Shennong readily agreed, got up and went inside to prepare the elixir.
At this time, the saint in imperial clothes on the right spoke: "You possess the Xuanyuan Dragon Control Technique, where did you learn it?"
Zhang Zixing understood that this person must be the Human Emperor Saint Xuanyuan Huangdi, and quickly bowed to the Yellow Emperor. After all, Xia and Shangdu were descendants of the Yellow Emperor, so he was so respectful to the three emperors. The Yellow Emperor did not shy away, sitting upright and suffering.
After Zhang Zixing finished the ceremony, he told the story of how he practiced the Sutra of Sutra and how he accidentally learned the Dragon Control Technique in Xuanyuan Tomb. Huangdi nodded slightly and asked again: "The green jade boy is here to repay you. There is a woman with you.
Is it a female slave?"
Zhang Zixing knew that the story of the female slave could not be hidden from Huang Di, his adoptive father, and replied: "It is the female slave. Zi Xin has recognized her as his younger sister and changed her name to Qinglan in front of others. In addition, Yinglong has reunited with the female slave, only to put down the chaos." He was injured and is still recovering in Chaoge. Please forgive me for not being able to come with him to see the Holy Emperor."
Huangdi showed a look of relief: "You have done a great job in this matter. Nuba and Yinglong were originally miserable people. They were forced to separate back then. Now, because of your power, their long-cherished wish has finally been fulfilled. This is also a great merit."
Zhang Zixing said a few words of humility, and then Huang Di asked again: "Is Chi You's blade 'Soul Devouring' in your hands?"
Zhang Zixing knew the story of Huangdi and Chi You, so he did not dare to neglect, took out the soul-devouring soul, and told the story about Yun Zhongzi's gift of the Battle Soul Secret in the past: "In the past, I didn't know that the Battle Soul Secret was Chi You's work. Zhenwu Lingjue, during the expedition to Dongyi, the shaman used a secret method to activate Chiyou's secret treasure, the Soul-eating Soul. Seeing that I couldn't resist it, suddenly and inexplicably, the Soul-eating Soul recognized me as its owner, and I got this thing. Yun Zhongzi must have You also don’t know the secret of the Battle Soul Art, otherwise how could you have taught it to me in the first place?”
Huang Di said calmly: "The power in your body is very miraculous. The power of Chi You and I are incompatible. I don't want you to find a new way to refine one place and become a true immortal body. That's fine. If you just With Chi You's power, I can't keep you alive."
Zhang Zixing was secretly frightened, had a cold war, and asked: "Why did the Holy Emperor say this? There is no good or evil in power. The key lies in the person who uses it. Although I learned the true martial art by chance, my heart has never wavered. .”
Fu Xi praised: "What a man who says, 'There is no good or evil in power, the key lies in people.' Your Majesty is indeed a man of great wisdom and possesses spiritual enlightenment. It is no wonder that you can achieve what you have today."
Huangdi also nodded in approval and said: "Chiyou is a descendant of the ancient demon god and has great supernatural powers. I fought with him several times in the past, and lost more than I won. Finally, with the help of an immortal, I was lucky enough to win the battle in Zhuolu. If not for this, the human race today I’m afraid it no longer exists in this world!”
In ancient times, the power of the human race was very weak. The most powerful were the demon clan and the demon god clan. The demon clan had the most extensive power. They claimed to be the orthodox of all laws of heaven and earth and had a very high self-esteem. The demon clan was powerful and violent by nature. The supernatural power regards all races as slaves and animals, enslaving and killing them at will. At that time, there were saints who gained enlightenment, and most of them did their own thing and stayed out of the matter. The two races of demons and demons refused to give in to each other, and finally started a war. In the end, the demon race paid a heavy price and was finally destroyed. The leaders of the demon tribe, Emperor Jun and Donghuang Taiyi, were killed, but their vitality was also severely damaged, and there were not many clan members left. The remaining two demon gods, Zhu Rong and Gonggong, started fighting among themselves due to their different natures, and eventually died together. The balance of heaven and earth The Pillar of Heaven, Buzhou Mountain, was also destroyed because of this, and the entire space was in danger of destruction. Fortunately, Nuwa collected five-color stones to mend the sky, and it was stabilized.
Chi You is a descendant of the ancient Demon God Clan, and he gathered the remnants of the Demon God Clan to cause rebellion in the time of the Yellow Emperor. If Chi You wins, the human race will completely become slaves or food of the Demon God Clan. In the end, the Yellow Emperor defeated Chi You and the Demon God Clan, and therefore Great merit leads to the achievement of Taoism and fruition.
The True Martial Spirit Art is originally a heart art passed down by the ancient demon gods. Even ordinary people will transform into the body of the demon god when they reach a high level, and then their character will change drastically and become a demon. Now, although Zhang Zixing's True Martial Spirit Art has reached the highest level, Although he had no abnormality or demonic aura, and he was able to practice to the high level of Xuanyuan Dragon Control Technique at the same time, it was obvious that his magical powers were unique and he was not affected by the power of the demon at all, so Huang Di felt relieved.
Zhang Zixing was shocked. Is Zhenwu Lingjue the magic formula of the ancient demon god? Could it be that Xuanwu is the ancient demon god Xuan Emperor? He originally thought that Emperor Xuan was the Black Emperor among the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors in ancient Chinese mythology. Of course, there are many versions of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors. Now it seems
Come on, the Three Emperors are the three saints Fuxi, Shennong, and Huangdi. What about the Five Emperors? Is there such a concept? Are the traditional "Four Spirits" such as Qinglong and White Tiger all ancient demons? In other words, there are no such things in this world at all.
Four spirits said?
If this is the case, then what does the phrase "collecting the energy of the four spirits" in Su Nu Jing that has always been puzzling mean?
Zhang Zixing thought wildly for a while, and suddenly thought: According to what Huangdi said, Fei Lian, who was Chi You's assistant at that time, must also be a remnant of the demon god. From this point of view, his intention of lurking in Chaoge is probably not that simple...
While he was thinking hard, Shennong had already walked out of the room and handed him a gourd.
"There are ten pills in this, which can completely eliminate the poison of the Plague Pill. One pill will save your concubines, and the other one will be dissolved in water to rescue those suffering from the plague. Then throw one into the river to eliminate all the poison.
Source. There are still seven left to give to you, which will surely be of use in the future."
As soon as Zhang Zixing heard that someone had been rescued, he was overjoyed and thanked him. Shennong raised his hand slightly, and stopped him from saluting in the distance, and asked the green jade boy to give him a seat. Zhang Zixing repeatedly said that he did not dare, and Fuxi said: "You are the supreme king of the world, the emperor of the human race, so
There is no need to be humble in front of us, just be normal. We also heard what you said in Nuwa Temple back then, and today is the occasion to discuss it in detail."
Zhang Zixing couldn't help but feel uneasy when he heard Fuxi mentioning the Nuwa Temple. After all, they were brothers and sisters, so it was reasonable to show some protection.
Fuxi saw his expression and knew his concerns, so he smiled and said, "Is Your Majesty still worried about the Nuwa Temple?"
Zhang Zixing smiled bitterly and said: "Zixin is an ordinary person and has short-sightedness. He only sees the interests of the human race and life and death at the moment. Naturally, he cannot follow the 'Way of Heaven' like the saints and see the long-term view."
Shennong shook his head: "I think your majesty has misunderstood. The three of us have achieved the path of the Holy Emperor due to our merits, but we are not true saints."
Zhang Zixing always thought that these three were real saints, so when Huang Di saw his true cultivation at a glance, he was not surprised. Now when he heard Shen Nong's words, he was really surprised.
Shennong explained to him that the Holy Emperor's way of merit and virtue is not the same as that of a saint. Strictly speaking, their power level still does not break away from the category of Xuanxian, but unlike ordinary Xuanxian top-level cultivators, they have one more
The power of a "position", which represents a specific class in the way of heaven, such as the Holy Throne of the Three Emperors, the Heavenly Emperor of the Haotian God, the Heavenly Mother of the Yaochi Golden Mother, etc. Combining this "position"
"The strange power of "Three Emperors" is beyond that of ordinary Xuanxian peak cultivators, and saints will never easily attack people with "position" power, because this represents a violation of some law of heaven, which will
It caused great karma and caused severe punishment from heaven.
To a certain extent, the emperor of the human race is also equivalent to a "position". Unless it is for the sake of the human race itself, ordinary immortals would not dare to harm them at will.
Only then did Zhang Zixing understand the concept of the position of the Holy Emperor of Merit, and he secretly estimated in his heart that based on the current situation, although he did not know what special power that "position" had, if he relied on his true strength, even if the three emperors worked together,
I'm afraid it's hard to defeat the saint.
Huangdi said: "In the past, when you were at the Nuwa Temple, you had a confrontation with the Holy Emperor Wa. During this period, you once said that you would rather give up your cultivation, and even the throne, in exchange for the peace of the people. This shows your great virtue. All three of me have experienced this.
Although the person who holds the throne has some small virtues that benefit the people, he does not have your kind heart. If he gets along with you in a different place, he will feel ashamed."
Even though Zhang Zixing was thick-skinned, he was a little embarrassed by Fuxi's praise - what he said to Nuwa at that time was all calculated.
Fuxi smiled and said: "You are quite courageous, you dare to question the saint like that, and you dare to make a bet. No wonder when my girl came to Huoyun Cave, she looked like an 'arrogant' emperor like you.
Angry."
Zhang Zixing didn't know what he really meant, so he could only say cautiously: "At that time, Ri Xin was also impulsive, and in his passion, he offended Empress Nuwa, and asked the Holy Emperor to forgive me."
Fuxi waved his hand, and four lines of poetry appeared on the stone wall behind him. They were the poems Zhang Zixing had deliberately left at the Nuwa Temple that day.
"What a man who has endured a thousand blows and is still strong, despite the winds from east to west, north and south," Fuxi praised: "Your Majesty must have great talent. This sentence is very wonderful. It must be a sentence of your Majesty's clear ambition. I like this poem very much, so I
Carve it down and keep it for viewing."
Zhang Zixing saw that Fu Xi was not angry and said tentatively: "Zixin also knows that he was bold and offended the saint back then. Now he is working hard to govern and change the world. There are some obstacles at present. But once the change is successful, the people will be happy and soldiers from all directions will be able to do so."
Take a rest and avoid the murderous calamity."
Fuxi sighed: "Your Majesty is in trouble! It seems that your Majesty still doesn't understand what killing is."
Zhang Zixing's heart moved and he quickly asked for advice. Fuxi's answer was beyond his expectation: Killing Tribulation is equivalent to an order in the way of heaven. It can also be said to be a re-establishment of "positions". This establishment is governed by the rules of heaven.
The trend is unavoidable and can only be dealt with.
After Fuxi said this, Zhang Zixing vaguely understood the significance of the list of gods. The "God of Haotian ordered the twelve immortals to become ministers" was also a product of complying with this rule. It was just this opportunity for various religions to compete for luck.
They fight each other on a large scale. After the killing calamity is over, the rules are established. The winning sect will naturally be the biggest winner, while the losing sect will naturally have to wait for the next killing calamity to take revenge. In the original book, Yuanshi Tianzun disregards his face and acts almost shamelessly.
I am afraid that it is for this reason that I personally deal with the junior Jie Jiao. Losing face is a small matter, but if you lose your luck, it will be a big loss.
Zhang Zixing thought for a long time and said with a wry smile: "If we follow the rules of heaven, no matter how stable I govern the world, all the people will inevitably be in trouble and massacres will be inevitable. But Zi Xin is the leader of the human race, how can he bear to watch all the people in the world
Are we torn between life and death due to the disaster of war? Could it be that for the so-called way of heaven, we human race can only adapt to the situation and become the sacrifices that these immortals deserve?"
The three Holy Emperors looked at each other and sighed in unison without saying a word.
