That night, Zhang Zixing took Cai Yan back to Chaoge.
When they first met Cai Yan, the first reaction of Zhang Zixing's harem beauties was that her husband went to Xiqi to investigate the truth about Yijiang, and ended up kidnapping Yijiang.
Deng Chanyu's eyes widened and she said: "Husband, you are too cruel. You want to dominate Xiqi's land, chop off Ji Fa's head, and even steal his wife..."
Bixiao immediately complimented Deng Chanyu on someone's behalf, "You have a bright future!" and went up to him and pinched him hard "to encourage him."
Cai Yan had already seen his team on the way, and also heard that he had many mistresses. Now he saw that these mistresses were all extremely beautiful, even worse than himself, and they were extremely affectionate with their teachers.
His behavior was so bold that he secretly let go of the worry deep in his heart and smiled.
Zhang Zixing was naturally depressed. If he had really been kidnapped, he would have paid it back. Instead, he had accepted him as his disciple. Isn't this even more unjust than Dou E? Cai Yan hurriedly visited all the masters and ladies with the courtesy of a disciple.
Only then did we know the reason for his grievance. However, many people showed strange expressions: Could it be that the sun was rising? How could the cat stop stealing?
Some people like Bixiao even pulled Cai Yan aside and gave him some precautions. He also gave him a jade talisman, saying that if he was harassed by a pervert, he could crush it immediately.
Let’s perform the story of Yitian Slaying the Wolf. Deng Chanyu has been very close to Bixiao recently, and she also put forward constructive suggestions to this sister that "it is easier to use scissors", which made Zhang Zixing horrified - accepting a disciple is actually a thing
It's a good thing, but it was said to be like this.
However, Zhang Zixing also negotiated with Cai Yan before coming here not to reveal her origins. Cai Yan knew that this teacher held a supreme position and could not allow any mistakes. Besides, no one would believe her even if she told her story.
I swore a strong oath to promise not to reveal secrets.
At this moment, Zhang Zixing received a report that there was a Taoist priest from Xuandu outside, asking to see Xiaoyaozi, the national preceptor.
Zhang Zixing was surprised: Taoist Xuandu? Is it the Great Master of Xuandu, or...
Zhang Zixing did not dare to neglect, and quickly ordered people to invite the Xuandu Taoist to a quiet courtyard, and then went to meet him in the form of Xiaoyaozi.
When he saw this Taoist from Xuandu, Zhang Zixing was shocked and immediately ordered everyone to retreat - as he expected, it was not the Great Master of Xuandu who came, but Lao Tzu, the sage of Bajing Palace.
Zhang Zixing regained his true appearance and saluted Lao Tzu: "I have met the saint. If something happens to the saint, you only need to summon him and I will go to the Bajing Palace to listen to the teachings. There is no need to come here in person."
I smiled and returned the salute, but did not answer. Zhang Zixing knew that I had some scruples at this time, so he wisely did not talk more about this aspect, and asked: "I wonder if the saint came to Chao Ge today, what can he teach me?"
I got straight to the point and said: "Your Majesty, I have been confused recently. I would like to ask Your Majesty to enlighten me."
Zhang Zixing's heart moved, and he said with a smile: "Sages like to joke around, but I am an ordinary person, an ant, how can I be so virtuous and capable as to be able to answer the questions of a saint?"
I shook my head and said: "Your Majesty, why should you be too modest? If you are an ant, then everyone below the saint is an ant."
"Isn't that true? Those below the saint are ants. To offend the saint, in the way of heaven, all living things are ants! Even saints... hum..."
Although Zhang Zixing had not finished speaking, I still understood the meaning of his words and frowned: "Your Majesty has always been so magnanimous, why did you lose your composure today?"
Zhang Zixing did not answer, but asked instead: "Sage, do you know about the innate treasure that can be used to strike the divine whip?"
I was slightly startled, nodded and said: "This is a big secret, but your majesty actually knows it. The magic whip is an innate rare thing. When there is a great catastrophe, it can only be used to determine the number of the final universe. If the time does not come,
, even if I go out to look for it on weekdays, I still can't get its full form. Your Majesty asked, could it be that the magic whip has been born?"
Zhang Zixing nodded, and told the three things about that day, the place, and the person. I was even more shocked: "I didn't expect that the killing calamity would lead to the birth of the divine whip! It seems that this catastrophe is not only a human disaster, but also a human disaster.
It is also a great catastrophe in the three realms! I think back then, when the demons were fighting and Mount Buzhou caused the heaven and earth to collapse, the divine whip was not even used to respond to the catastrophe. But now it has appeared in the world at this time. I am afraid that this catastrophe will turn the world upside down, and it is still far away from our imagination.
Above. Although the Heavenly Way is still rearranged in the end and positioned as a god, the variables and damage during the process are even more unpredictable!"
Zhang Zixing hurriedly asked: "Is it true that enough people must die to complete a certain person's disaster?"
I shook my head and said: "This catastrophe is by no means as simple as an ordinary battle or the number of lives and deaths. Deaths and injuries are absolutely inevitable, and the power of the three realms must reach a certain balance. If it cannot be achieved, the war disaster will continue and cannot be contained. Just want to
How to balance it, even a sage does not know."
Zhang Zixing's heart sank and he quickly asked: "Is there any way to stop it?"
"The general trend of the way of heaven is like this, how can we stop it? Since we are facing a catastrophe, we can only respond to it." I looked at his frown: "I see that your majesty is still attached to this way of life and death, so he is so distressed. In the way of heaven,
, Creation is endless, and all things are endless. The way of heaven is arranged, and it is inevitable that there will be changes in life, death, prosperity and decline. Your Majesty is a man of spiritual wisdom and has extraordinary knowledge, far above ordinary immortals. Why do you care so much?"
"Because I am a human being." Zhang Zixing looked directly at Lao Tzu and said seriously: "I am not a saint or an immortal, I am just a 'human being'. I can't compete with you saints or those immortals who are so advanced that they can ignore life.
In comparison, I don't like to be a so-called savior, but I can't helplessly watch so many innocent lives disappear under the so-called need of heaven, even if I can stay on the sidelines unharmed.
Escape... I also thought about using a clever trick to reverse this 'general trend', but now I know that when I thought everything was under control, I failed, and failed quite completely. I want to ask the saint for advice,
If you were to use your Hunyuan body to re-activate the great supernatural powers of earth, water, fire and wind, would you be able to avoid the destruction of all living beings in the three realms?"
I pondered for a long time and did not answer directly, but asked: "Is the 'ingenious scheme' used by His Majesty a 'matter in the human world, but left to humans'? Then he divided the battle between humans and immortals, and finally covered it up with lightning speed."
The power of Er will destroy the Western Zhou Dynasty and end the war in the human world?"
Zhang Zixing trembled slightly. Unexpectedly, his plan was guessed by Laozi, but his face was calm: "I heard that this is the discussion of the saints, what does it have to do with me? Besides, I am just a mortal emperor, how can I be like this?
Big ability?"
I looked at him deeply and said: "Your Majesty, although I don't know what plan you used to facilitate this, the separation of humans and immortals must be your plan! Don't forget that you were here that day.
I, the Eight Scenery Palace, once used such strange objects to show my intention to destroy the world. If my Dharma eyesight is correct, those mysterious objects do not belong to the category of Taoism or magic weapons. At this moment, the war in the human world has been completely controlled by man.
, if you use those kinds of magical objects, let alone the Western Zhou Dynasty, even if you want to destroy the world, it will be enough."
Zhang Zixing saw that Lao Tzu had spoken so far and knew that the other party had seen through the plan, but he still did not admit it directly. He only said: "Don't worry, saint, since I have promised you, I will never have such extreme thoughts again, nor will I
Use that thing to deal with the Western Zhou Dynasty."
"Your Majesty is compassionate and compassionate, and has great determination to save living beings and quell the scourge of war, which can be called a great kindness. I believe that Your Majesty will not go too far and destroy the world. It is said that in the Eight Views Palace that day, I was one step behind.
This is what your Taoist friend has calculated. But don’t deceive me, Your Majesty. But since you can create such wonders, can’t you create other similar things? I dare to say that the wonders hidden by the great merchants are
The Western Zhou Dynasty was defeated instantly, what do you think, Your Majesty?"
Zhang Zixing smiled calmly: "Even if I don't use any strange objects, I can do this. Can a saint believe it? But so what, the calamity of the human world and even the three worlds will never stop. If the killing calamity continues, I will be destroyed.
In the Western Zhou Dynasty, if the feudal lords were destroyed, it would be impossible to prevent the distant foreign races from changing. Even if the foreign races were destroyed, it would still be difficult to prevent the great merchants from internal chaos. If it lasts for a long time, the world will continue to suffer catastrophes that cannot be stopped. Could it be that we really want to destroy the world in order to cope with the catastrophe?"
When I heard him say that "the Western Zhou Dynasty can be defeated without any strange objects," a look of surprise flashed across his eyes, and he became more certain of his thoughts. When he heard the next words, he sighed: "It is impossible to destroy the world.
, but when the time comes, disasters and catastrophes, and loss of life will be inevitable. I advise Your Majesty not to use thunderous means to change the current situation, and try to make all the casualties and catastrophes end in the battle of Shang and Zhou. It will also be a meritorious deed by then. As for that
Your Majesty should deal with casualties and losses with a normal heart."
Zhang Zixing thought about the same persuasion from Tongtian Cult Master in Biyou Palace at that time, and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "If we could treat each other with a normal heart, I wouldn't have to be so anxious."
I shook my head and sighed: "Your Majesty has extraordinary qualifications and unparalleled ingenuity. He was able to control a group of saints and even kill and catastrophe. Although his cultivation has regressed to a true immortal, his actual power is probably as low as a xuanxian."
With such opportunity and qualifications, if given time and wonderful enlightenment, it is not impossible to realize the Hunyuan Dao in one fell swoop."
Zhang Zixing never thought that the secret of his own cultivation would be revealed by Lao Tzu, so he couldn't help but secretly admire him: This saint from the Bajing Palace is really powerful, and his strength can be called the first of the six saints.
But what I said that surprised him was still behind: "Below the saint, Pindao has met many top-level immortals. Among them, the Donghuang Taiyi at that time had the highest qualifications, but Taiyi was too obsessed with power, power, and his state of mind.
However, he failed to achieve success, and he did not know much, and eventually died in the Five Immortals Mountain. Now your brother Kong Xuan also has extremely high aptitudes, has a calm temperament, is calm and calm, has profound cultivation, and has a Chaos Bell in his hand.
, the strength is still higher than that of the Second Emperor of Heaven and the first disciple of the Third Junior Disciple, Taoist Duobao, who can be called the number one Xuanxian. However, in comparison, Pindao is optimistic that His Majesty can break through the supreme realm faster and become the number one in the world.
Seven saints. But if you want to become a saint, you must eliminate ignorance! If your majesty can let go of the obsession in your heart, your cultivation level will surely advance by leaps and bounds, and your strength will increase sharply. If you can't let go, it will be even more difficult to advance your strength, and it will be even more difficult.
It doesn’t matter if it’s sanctification.”
The seventh saint! I actually think so highly of him!
If you let go of that obsession, you can make great progress! If you can't let go, it will be difficult to make progress?
Zhang Zixing's heart beat rapidly: Let go of your attachments and ignore the world's life, death and annihilation? Can you do it yourself?
He tried his best to suppress the conflict in his heart and asked: "Thank you for the saint's advice, but the saint has not answered me yet. If I were a saint, how would I solve this catastrophe?"
Seeing that he had returned to this topic, I couldn't help but shook my head secretly and replied: "So that your majesty will know that such a trend cannot be solved by even a saint. In the world, only teacher Hongjun can do this."
Alone."
Hongjun! Zhang Zixing's heart moved. He had judged from the information revealed by the leader of Tongtian that this Master of the Three Pure Ones, Taoist Hongjun, should be in the original state of the universe when the heaven and earth were not opened and the void was not divided. In "Pangu"
After the explosion and separation of stars and all things, the intelligent life form that first condenses should represent the general trend of the entire universe, or in other words, it itself is the supreme "Tao".
Zhang Zixing asked carefully: "May I ask the saint, where is the Zixiao Palace? Can you give me some guidance?"
"Your Majesty must have learned the name of Teacher's Immortal Palace from Junior Brother Tongtian. Didn't Third Junior Brother tell Your Majesty that Zixia Palace is a separate universe opened by Teacher, and it is not located outside the Thirty-three Heavens?"
When I mentioned Hongjun, his face showed awe from the bottom of his heart, "If the teacher is summoned for something, the gate of Zixiao Palace will appear automatically. If the teacher does not want to see him, even the saint will not be able to find the trace. Even if your majesty searches for thirty times,
It’s useless beyond three days.”
Zhang Zixing couldn't help but feel depressed when he heard this. I said: "When I came here today, I was worried that your majesty would act recklessly or use strange weapons to destroy the Western Zhou Dynasty. Now it seems that your majesty already knows the number of days, but I am overly worried. Your majesty, please remember that this time
The victory or defeat of the world is secondary, the key lies in the calamity of heaven, earth and man."
Zhang Zixing nodded and asked: "Sage, will you be invited by the Chanjiao to go to the Immortal Killing Formation to help?"
I smiled and said: "With Your Majesty's plan, even if the poor Taoist is determined to take action, it should be limited by the Taiqing token. Your Majesty has no plan left, so why worry?"
"Based on the three figures of heaven, earth and people, I am afraid that the battle of Xuan Dao may not end with the Zhuxian Formation. If there is still a confrontation with Jie Jiao, will the saint help Yuanshi Tianzun?"
Lao Tzu replied: "My second junior brother is here first. Although there is a matter about the Taiqing Token, I will inevitably help my second junior brother once. This matter cannot be regretted."
"So, what happens after this time?" Zhang Zixing did not relax: "Will we still help?"
Lao Tzu mused: "The time will come when freedom will come."
Zhang Zixing heard Laozi's vague answer and knew that he had never completely given up the idea of helping to explain the teaching. With a sudden thought, after getting Laozi's promise to keep the secret, he called Cai Yan over and told what Yuanshi Tianzun had done.
thing.
I was shocked: I used my great supernatural powers to reverse time and space without authorization and create an "artificial" extraordinary body. It was contaminated with great cause and effect and extremely dangerous. Even if I am a saint, I cannot completely get rid of it unless I can use this life.
Only by gaining a certain degree of pious power can outsiders be able to evade cause and effect. However, according to Laozi, Cai Yan's extraterrestrial energy is very weak, completely incomparable to him, and the effect is relatively smaller, even in
It seems that the level of a saint is not worth paying much attention to.
Only then did Zhang Zixing realize that Yuanshi Tianzun sent Cai Yan to Xiqi as his queen, not only to explain the future destiny, but also to rid himself of the cause and effect of changing time and space.
I thought of Yuanshi Tianzun's voice questioning him in the Eight Views Palace, looked at Cai Yan again, and finally let out a long sigh. Then he pointed at Cai Yan, and a white light enveloped her, spinning around in circles before fading away.
Only then did Zhang Zixing realize that Yuanshi Tianzun had been extra careful. Just in case, he placed a Yuqing mark on Cai Yan. Not only did it have a protective effect, but if anything unusual was discovered, she would be able to detect it no matter where she was.
.This mark is quite secretive and has the power of chaos. Unless the same saint takes action, it is impossible to eliminate it silently.
Zhang Zixing couldn't help but secretly call it a fluke. If I hadn't taken action, I wouldn't have known about this method. If Yuanshi Tianzun came to Chaoge and discovered the arrangement in Xiqi, there would be big trouble.
Zhang Zixing thanked me again, and I nodded to him without saying much. He just sighed and walked straight away. Zhang Zixing did not ask me why I didn't expose him when the Six Saints gathered at the Eight Views Palace that day. Some things were not necessary.
Getting to the bottom of the problem, it would be better to have a vague tacit understanding between them.
Although he doesn't know what Lao Tzu's final decision will be, Zhang Zixing can be sure that Lao Tzu's desire to help and explain his teachings is completely different from the resolute attitude in the original work. It can be regarded as a precautionary measure for the leader of Tongtian.
As soon as he heard that only Hongjun could solve the robbery that could make the magic whip appear, Zhang Zixing couldn't help but feel helpless, and subconsciously touched the five-color mask on his face: Could it be that person who gave this thing as a gift back then?
A boss?
This mask seemed to be integrated with his face, as if it were nothing. Even if he wore it to sleep, he would feel nothing, and it would feel uncomfortable to take it off. Especially since he learned the Qingxin Jue taught by Master Tongtian, he seems to have a certain feeling for this mask.
There was a strange feeling, and he seemed to be able to feel a strange and faint power coming from him. This power seemed to have played some unknown role when he was refining the Sixth Grade Lotus Platform in the Mountain and River Society Map.
Because of this, he was able to successfully survive the most difficult moments with the Qingxin Jue, and finally gained new strength.
He had initially suspected that the mask was given by one of the great saints, but as he came into contact with the six saints one by one and tried to make insinuations, he felt that it did not seem to be the work of any one of them. With such ease,
If you do something, you can change the original five-color mask into such a miraculous thing. I'm afraid that guess is probably true. If so, what was that person's motive at that time?
I didn't think of it just now, why don't I show this mask to "Fellow Daoist Li", and then use the name of Boss Hongjun to ask him to try to resolve the murder or make it difficult to explain the teaching? But I also said that the saint is right
This killing calamity is powerless, and the Hongjun boss is no better than these ordinary saints. He cannot be easily provoked. He may be wiped out before his plan is completed.
Three days later, Xiqi City.
Ji Fa, who had been waiting eagerly, finally received the reply from "Yi Jiang" conveyed by Jiang Ziya.
