I practiced with a cheat

The next morning, in the Zhaoming Garden of Zhike Peak, Taihua Mountain.

Zhou Heng finished a night of meditation and opened the door and walked out, only to find that the courtyard was already filled with a fragrant smell, which was the aroma of tofu pudding and fried dough sticks, as well as the aroma of bone soup.

This made him feel like he had returned to the original Huangtong Prefecture.

After a while, Yunxiu came out of the kitchen, holding a dining board with two bowls of tofu pudding made with bone soup and ten fried dough sticks on it.

"Brother Heng, you're awake." Yunxiu smiled and put the dining board on a stone table in the courtyard, and said with a smile: "I wanted to wait until you prepared breakfast before calling you."

"Why did you think of making breakfast?" Zhou Heng smiled and looked at the stone table not far away, sniffed his nose, and said: "Well, this smell is better than when we were in Huangtong City."

"Didn't you just tell me last night how long it has been since you had a bun from me?" Yunxiu smiled and said: "So I got up early this morning and steamed meat buns. Well, it's not ready yet, it's still in the steamer, tofu brain and fried dough sticks are faster to make."

"Haha, then I'll eat this first." Zhou Heng came to the stone table, took a big bite of the fried dough sticks, and drank a big mouthful of salty tofu brain made from bone soup, and a satisfied expression suddenly appeared on his face.

This taste is amazing!

"Don't worry." Yunxiu sat opposite Zhou Heng and said with a smile: "I have boiled a big pot of bone soup, and there is still a lot of tofu pudding. You can't miss it, take your time."

"It's been too long since I ate it." Zhou Heng took another big bite of the fried dough sticks, finished one of them completely, and drank a big bowl of tofu pudding, "Not bad, not bad, it tastes great!"

"Then another bowl?" Yunxiu took the bowl from Zhou Heng with a smile.

"Okay." Zhou Heng smiled and said: "Anyway, I can eat as much as I want now, and I won't eat too much."

The sixth-grade warrior has already formed his true qi, and can refine and absorb the food he eats at any time, so he basically won't be too full.

"What if I want money?" Yunxiu chuckled, "One fried dough stick is ten cents, a bowl of tofu pudding is twenty cents, and a steamed bun is one tael?"

"I can afford it." Zhou Heng looked rich and generous, and then laughed, "Hahaha, after all, there have been some changes from the past."

"Fortunately, the changes are all good." Yunxiu went to get another bowl of tofu pudding and came back. She also ate a bite of fried dough sticks and drank a sip of her own tofu pudding, saying, "The buns will have to wait a while."

"Every time I went there, I waited for Miss Xiu'er's meat buns." Zhou Heng nodded, then chewed the fried dough sticks in his mouth, looked around, swallowed it, and said, "Master and Senior He didn't come back all night?"

"Not back yet." Yunxiu shook her head, her eyes a little worried, "Nothing will happen, right?"

"It shouldn't." Zhou Heng shook his head gently, looked to the west, and said, "With the strength of my senior brother, if something happened, it can't be silent. Maybe it was delayed by other things?"

"Well, I hope so." Yunxiu nodded.

At this moment, the sea of ​​clouds in the west suddenly surged, and the waves rolled into the sky. Two bright lights flew to the outside of Zhaoming Garden one after another.

It was Yan Shouyi and He Mengqiu.

They finally came back.

Zhou Heng and Yun Xiu stood up and wanted to go out to greet them and ask what happened.

However, as soon as they stood up, they saw Yan Shouyi and He Mengqiu walking side by side from outside.

"Hmm, it smells so good." Yan Shouyi looked in the direction of the kitchen, then looked at Zhou Heng, and smiled: "It must not be made by you..." Then he looked at Yun Xiu, nodded and praised: "The girl has good skills."

"Senior, you are too kind." Yun Xiu shook her head quickly.

"Brother, do you want to eat?" Zhou Heng walked forward and said with a smile: "Remember to pay, 10 taels of silver for a fried dough stick, 50 taels of silver for a bowl of tofu pudding, and 1 tael of gold for a bun."

"Do you think your brother has never bought anything in the secular world?" Yan Shouyi cursed with a smile, then his expression became serious and he said in a deep voice: "I discussed some things with Senior He last night, and now I can almost answer your previous questions."

"My previous questions..." Zhou Heng's eyes condensed when he heard this, nodded, and said: "Can I tell you now?"

When he was in Fengzhou County City before, he asked Yan Shouyi about evil gods, foreign demons, and the history of the Middle Ages and before the Middle Ages.

Moka Kasyapa came as an evil god, plus the previous "Emperor of Mount Tai of Dongyue" and "Mother Baosheng of Yunxiao"... This made Zhou Heng's interest in these foreign evil gods reach an unprecedented level.

It happened that he also showed enough power this time, and theoretically there was no need to worry about getting to know the taboo information too early and causing disasters.

However, although Yan Shouyi agreed at that time, he said that he could not guarantee the authenticity and comprehensiveness.

Now that he has taken the initiative to mention this matter, could it be that he has confirmed some of the originally uncertain information in the discussion with He Mengqiu last night?

"I can talk about it now." Yan Shouyi nodded slightly and said, "It just so happens that Senior He is here too, so I can supplement it to a certain extent."

"Yes." He Mengqiu nodded and said, "Master Yan confirmed some things with me last night, but it still depends on what you, Mr. Zhou, want to know."

"Since you are asking Senior He for confirmation..." Zhou Heng pondered for a moment, put down the fried dough sticks in his hand, and said, "I want to know, how did the three saints of the Middle Ages, including the Dream Saint, go crazy?"

The so-called end of the Middle Ages was actually the age of saints that reached its peak, when hundreds of schools of thought contended, schools abounded, and civilization reached its peak, but it was also rich in diversity and a flourishing age of spiritual practice.

But even in this unprecedented prosperous age, suddenly due to the bizarre madness of the three saints, Dream Saint, Tao Saint, and Law Saint, they deviated from the original development trajectory and rushed all the way to the abyss of destruction.

This is not normal no matter how you think about it, it is too outrageous.

"The buns in the kitchen are almost ready. I'll go take a look." Yun Xiu stood up and left. She knew very well that with her current level of cultivation, she would never be able to understand these secrets.

Many things, even simply understanding and knowing them, mean extremely huge dangers, which may endanger your own life, and may also implicate innocent people around you.

"Well, go ahead." He Mengqiu nodded, then looked at Zhou Heng, and said with a wry smile: "When Headmaster Yan discussed with me last night, I mentioned that you might ask about this, but I didn't expect you to be the first one to ask about it. ”

"I suspect it has something to do with the Evil God." Zhou Heng glanced at the direction Yunxiu left, then looked back and said seriously: "Is it the Evil God who caused the Three Saints to go crazy?"

"Yes, but not." He Mengqiu considered the words and gave an answer, and then said: "I had an exchange with Master Yan last night about the specific situation, so let him explain it."

"Okay." Yan Shouyi nodded lightly, but did not answer immediately. Instead, he asked: "Junior brother, I said before that I can answer all your questions, but I cannot guarantee its authenticity and comprehensiveness.

"Then I want to ask you now, do you want to know whether it is true or false, as comprehensively as possible, or do you only want to know the parts that can confirm the truth?"

"Real." Zhou Heng said without thinking.

False information kills people, and having comprehensive information but unable to determine its authenticity often leads to unpredictable consequences.

"It's just as I thought." Yan Shouyi laughed, and then his expression became serious and said: "So regarding the bizarre and crazy incident of the Three Saints in the Middle Ages, there are two points of information that can confirm the authenticity.

“First of all, it was indeed because of an evil god that the Three Saints fell into bizarre madness. However, it is unknown what the specific reason was that caused the first-level Taoist master of the three gods to completely lose his mind and fall into madness.

"The second point is that the evil god has a Baogao. You should know what the Baobao means. The Zhoutian Xunjie Division should have talked about it."

"Yeah." Zhou Heng nodded.

"Baogao, originally in the ancient mythological era, was an honorific name that only revered immortal gods could have, but later it became a thing used to describe high-ranking evil gods." Yan Shouyi sighed softly and said solemnly: " That evil god’s imperial edict almost caused chaos in Chunyang Palace. Junior brother, you must also be mentally prepared.”

"It almost caused chaos in Chunyang Palace..." Zhou Heng was stunned when he heard this, and then his eyes widened suddenly, and he said in shock: "Brother, you mean...could it be..."

"The 'evil god' who caused the Three Saints in the Middle Ages to go crazy and led directly to the rise and fall of the Middle Ages, Bao Gao..." Yan Shouyi closed his eyes and said slowly: "Chun Yang acted as a political policeman and Hua Fuyou Emperor, Xingxing Miaodao Tianzun! He is also our ancestor Chunyangzi."

"How is this possible?!" Zhou Heng stood up suddenly, with an expression of extreme horror on his face.

Although he had already been mentally prepared when Yan Shou started talking, he was still extremely shocked when he actually heard it.

Not just because the evil god who caused the destruction of the medieval era was actually the founder of Chunyang Palace, the immortal from the ancient mythological era, and the founder of Chunyangzi.

It was also because at this moment he was finally sure that the founder of Chunyangzi in this world was the Chunyangzi from the myths and legends he had heard in his previous life on Earth!

Lu Yan, Lu Dongbin!

"The Inner Prime Minister of the Jade Purity, the Immortal Selected by the Golden Palace. Incarnate as a master of the Three Religions, and wield the law to judge the Five Thunder Orders... There are four births in the Six Paths, and whatever you feel will be restored; in the Three Realms and Ten Directions, no request will be answered... The Great Sage is Great Merciful, the Great Benevolence and the Great Filial Piety . The founder of the religion, Patriarch Lingying... Chunyang acted as a political policeman and became the emperor of Fuyou, and established the wonderful way of heaven. "

This is Lu Zu Baogao!

"Junior brother, you may have heard people talk about the deeds of Patriarch Chunyangzi in detail since you started. Have you ever heard anyone talk about the origin of Patriarch Chunyangzi?" Yan Shouyi was surprisingly calm and said: "In daily life, In the sect’s life, Grandmaster Chunyangzi’s presence is actually very low, haven’t you noticed?”

"Is this...deliberate downplaying?" Zhou Heng frowned.

"That's right." Yan Shou nodded and said in a deep voice: "Master once told me that before the Middle Ages, there were clear sect rules. Every year on the birthday of the ancestor, the Baobao was recited and offerings were made. This is used to worship the ancestors.

"But after the Middle Ages, neither long-standing great masters nor new disciples were allowed to recite the Patriarch's Baogao, and even the full text of the Patriarch's Baogao was no longer allowed to be known to others."

"Really the founder of Chunyangzi?" Zhou Heng felt that Yan Shouyi had not finished speaking.

"But that's not necessarily the case." Yan Shou said: "At the end of the Middle Ages, Taishizu used the remaining pollution in Meng Sheng Yuan Shen to trace back and explore the evil god, and even actually 'saw' that evil god. name evil god and had a brief exchange.

"In the end, Taishi Patriarch came to the conclusion that whether it was the nature of the rules of the avenue, the Baogao information displayed by Tianji, or the spiritual aura revealed, it showed that there was no difference between this evil god and the Patriarch Chunyangzi back then.

"Theoretically, all this information is the same, which means that the essence of life is the same, and it should be the same existence.

"But the evil god's understanding of our world is very limited. He doesn't even know where the mountain gate of Chunyang Palace is...

"This is obviously not the case for Grandmaster Chunyangzi who has lived here for countless years, so Taishizu suspects that although all the information from the evil god points to Grandmaster Chunyangzi, he may not really be Grandmaster Chunyangzi. "

The Taishizu that Yan Shouyi mentioned was the third-generation headmaster of Chunyang Palace. In the Middle Ages, he was ordered to be in danger and became a Taoist god. He led Chunyang Palace out of the dark era and reached the peak of Zhongxing.

He is the disciple and grandson of Chunyangzi, a "living fossil" who has lived from the ancient mythological era to the present. He is the person who really got along with Chunyangzi and lived with him for a long time.

"..." Zhou Heng fell into silence after hearing the words. One thought after another flashed through his mind, and finally he gritted his teeth, "Could it be that the evil god is just pretending to be the founder of Chunyangzi, or... these inferences are just Where is Taishizu’s self-comfort?”

"It's all possible." Yan Shouyi didn't avoid anything, saying: "I also exchanged some information with Senior He on this point last night. Our common opinion is that before we can't investigate on our own, we must first believe Taishizu’s inference.”

"...Well, it should be so." Zhou Heng nodded after thinking for a while, and then continued to ask: "Originally, I wanted to ask about the situation in the ancient mythological era, but now I want to change the question.

"The evil gods that exist in our world now, or the evil gods that try to come to us, such as the Emperor of Dongyue Taishan, the Baosheng Yunxiao Empress... How many of them have appeared in the ancient mythological era?"

"As long as they have Baogao..." Yan Shouyi said solemnly: "All of them have appeared."

"Did all the high-ranking immortals and gods in the ancient mythological era become evil gods?" Zhou Heng continued to ask, "The reason why the ancient mythological era ended is because many high-ranking immortals and gods became evil gods?"

"No, that's for sure." Yan Shouyi gave the answer.

"Why is that?" Zhou Heng asked immediately.
