Pawn Crossing the River

Soon, several more figures came here one after another and landed behind Sun Hewu. Including Sun Hewu, there were a total of seven people.

The other two assistants did not show up, but were responsible for commanding the spiritual officers and maintaining the formation.

Everyone performs their duties.

Sun Hewu immediately shouted: "Set up the formation."

After the words fell, seven people took off from the ground at the same time, and arranged themselves in the shape of a seven-star Beidou in the sky, which was the "Seven Obsidian Star Array".

The "Seven-Yao Star Luo Formation" corresponds to the seven stars of the Big Dipper, the first is Tianshu, the second is Tianxuan, the third is Tianji, the fourth is Tianquan, the fifth is Yuheng, the sixth is Kaiyang, and the seventh is Yaoguang. The star position is in the north of Taiwei, the pivot is the sky, the xuan is the earth, the jade is the human, the power is the time, the balance is the sound, the kaiyang is the rhythm, and the Yaoguang is the star. However, the "Seven-Yao Star Array" is not arranged in the order of the seven stars in the ordinary sense. The Tianshu position, Tianxuan position, Tianji position, and Tianquan position form the leader of the bucket, and the Yuheng position, Kaiyang position, and Fluctuating position make up the handle. . Among the seven stars of the Big Dipper, Tianquan is the dimmest, but it is located where the handles of the Dipper meet, and is the most important. Therefore, it must be held by someone with the highest cultivation level. The handle of the Dipper is dominated by Yuheng, and the handle is dominated by Yuheng. The next highest person takes responsibility.

Zhang Wuhen suddenly rose up.

At the same time, the "Seven Luminous Star Formation" composed of seven people stirred with a bang, the handle of the bucket pointed at Zhang Wuhen, driving the vitality of the surrounding heaven and earth, and quickly gathered around the seven people in the formation. In the blink of an eye, the situation changed. The clouds in the sky seemed to be smashed by a knife, gathering and dispersing. The moonlight fell from the gaps, like pillars connecting the sky and the earth. No more, no less, exactly seven. .

Then there were strong winds, forming one cyclone after another, gradually converging in one place, forming tornado pillars one after another, connecting the sky. Repeating this process endlessly, seven huge tornadoes descended on the world, complementing the seven giant pillars.

Zhang Wuhen was in it, and the hem of her clothes was blown by the strong wind. She raised her fist and right hand, and saw a little moonlight suddenly light up in her fist. Then the light became stronger, and through the flesh and blood of her palm, her whole body illuminate.

It was as if she was holding a bright moon in her hands.

At this moment, Yao Pei, who had been silent and thoughtful, suddenly said: "I probably understand."

"What do you understand?" Qi Xuansu asked immediately.

After Yao Pei probably told the story about True Lord Ziguang, he said: "The Zhang family left this fairy heir and raised him up. However, this fairy heir is unknown and has not been passed down to future generations. Probably because For various reasons, he was unable to live up to the high expectations of Master Yan Da and lived an ordinary life. However, the Earth Master once said that Taiping Taoism is closely related to the "Tianting", Quanzhen Taoism and Qingpinghui have many contacts, and Zhengyiyi is closely related to it. There is a cooperative relationship with Ziguangshe.”

Qi Xuansu also remembered.

After the catastrophe of Jinling Mansion and before coming to Wanxiang Dao Palace, he and Zhang Yuelu had a conversation about this.

Zhang Yuelu made it very clear at that time that among the three Taoism, Quanzhen Tao was the largest, but there were too many internal factions to integrate into one, so it was overtaken by Taiping Tao. But Taiping Dao also knew that they were not arrogant enough to stabilize the other two paths, so they wanted to bring in the imperial court. Since Taiping Tao can cultivate a "Heavenly Court", Quanzhen Tao, which is larger than Taiping Tao, can also cultivate a Qingpinghui. If the three Taoists are not clean, then they are the same as Taiping Tao and Quanzhen Tao. The right path will never be innocent.

Zhang Yuelu did not answer directly at the time. Of course there was a corresponding secret association in Zhengyi Yitong, but it could not be said to be subordinates, but only allies. Zhang Yuelu did not say which secret association it was, and just let Qi Xuansu guess by himself.

Qi Xuansu felt that Qibaofang and the Eight Tribes were the most suspicious, but the Eight Tribes were obviously more closely related to Quanzhen Taoism, which had presided over the creation project, so he guessed that it was Qibaofang, but unfortunately he was not right.

Now it seems that it just corresponds to Yao Pei's statement.

No wonder Zhang Yuelu didn't want to speak out. She probably didn't agree with the matter very much, but she couldn't change anything even if she said so softly.

This involves a problem. There are also differences between secret societies. Secret societies such as "Tianting", Qingpinghui, Qibaofang, Babuzhong, and "Inn" do not have Immortal Immortals sitting in charge, so they cannot compete with the Taoist sects head-on. To survive by relying on Taoism, the relationship with Taoism is that you have me and I have you. It is within the tolerance of Taoism and is of a lighter nature. But the three secret societies of Lingshan Witch Cult, Zhiming Cult, and Ziguang Society are different. They all have Immortal Immortals sitting in charge. They have the strength to compete with Taoism to a certain extent, and they are of a more vicious nature.

It is not surprising that "Tianting" and Qingping Society are attached to Taiping Tao and Quanzhen Tao respectively, but it is very strange for Zhengyi to form an alliance with Ziguang Society. Now everything is clear. It turns out that there is still this kind of relationship. If they are not close to each other, the husband and wife may turn against each other. There is also some kind of hidden hostile and competitive relationship between father and son, but the relationship between mother and son has always been stable.

Qi Xuansu asked: "Won't the other two groups object?"

Yao Pei slowly explained: "I also asked the Earth Master at that time, and the Earth Master said that there was indeed no objection. As for the reason, I can make an analogy. Before the Wei Dynasty, the imperial court had always been a system of three provinces and six ministries, and the three provinces were responsible to the emperor. Ruled over six tribes. After the Wei Dynasty, the three provinces were abolished, and the emperor personally took charge of the six tribes. The same was true for our Taoist sect. In the earliest days, the three Taoist priests jointly assisted the Taoist sect, so the leader of the three Taoist priests was the deputy chief priest. "

"But later, Xuan Sheng decided to reform Taoism and established Jiutang to gradually replace Three Taoism. In essence, the Wei Dynasty abolished the three provinces and took charge of six ministries and strengthened the centralization of power. However, the process of reform was later interrupted by Buddhism and became Nine Halls. The Tang Dynasty replaced most of the authority of the Three Dao, but the embarrassing situation still existed among the three deputy leaders representing the Three Paths. The later Grand Masters no longer had the great prestige of Xuan Sheng, so naturally they could not change it and could only maintain it. "

"Before Jiutang was subdivided, the authority of the three paths was very general and could be summarized in six words: the human world, creation, ghosts and gods. That is, the Taiping Dao was in charge of the affairs of the human world, the Quanzhen Dao was in charge of the affairs of creation, and the Zhengyi Dao was in charge of the ghosts and gods. Let’s not talk about the other two groups for the time being. I will only talk about the ghosts and gods in charge of the Zhengyi Group, which is mainly aimed at the ancient immortals and the secret association they established. "

"You should have heard about True Lord Taiyin's submission to the Taoist sect, and this matter was facilitated by Yan Feiqing, the leader of Zhengdao at that time. At that time, although with the support of Xuansheng, Yan Feiqing had succeeded Zhang Luanshan as Zhengdao Da Zhenren, However, the opposition has always been loud, and Yan Feiqing's position is far less stable than that of Donghuang, who succeeded Mrs. Xuansheng as the great master of Taiping Dao. However, Yan Feiqing relied on this skill to overcome all the opposition and completely consolidate his position, becoming the only one. He has a different surname and is a Heavenly Master."

"That's why the great master Yan Feiqing advocated keeping the child. He wanted to recreate the old story of recruiting Taiyin Zhenjun through the connection between mother and son. At worst, it could also divide the Lingshan Witch Cult, Zhiming Cult, and Ziguang Society. Three alliances. Before that, there were actually four alliances including the Xuanyin Sect. The leader of the Xuanyin Sect was True Lord Taiyin. As True Lord Taiyin surrendered to the Taoist sect, the Xuanyin sect also became a part of the Taoist sect. Some people are classified into the lineage of the Grand Master.”

"Because of the precedent of True Lord Taiyin and the support of Madam Xuansheng, even the Eastern Emperor could hardly deny the feasibility of True Lord Yan Da's plan. So on this point, the three Taoists finally reached a consensus and acquiesced to Zhengyi and Ziguang Contact the company.”

Qi Xuansu couldn't help but sigh at the deep thoughts of the Taoist ancestors. On the surface, "What's wrong with the children?" seems to be just a woman's kindness, or because of the vague and unpredictable providence of God. It seems that these ancestors are all pragmatic people. , but when we really look into it, we realize that these Taoist ancestors are all far-sighted people.

Yao Pei continued: "It has to be said that although Yan Daren's plan was not fully successful and failed to recruit Ziguang Zhenjun through this god's son, it was still very effective. In recent years, Ziguang Society has rarely been in the open. The troubles caused by Taoism are far less crazy than those of Lingshan Witch Cult and Zhiming Cult, but the relationship between Zhengyiyi and Ziguang Society has become more subtle. It is no longer just a relationship between recruiting and being recruited, especially as the disputes among the three realms intensify. After that, it’s more subtle.”

Qi Xuansu said softly: "Do you respect yourself when raising bandits?"

"It's not that simple." Yao Pei said noncommittally, "We are not going to discuss the specific relationship between Ziguang Society and Zhengyi. I have just been thinking about how the Zhang family changed after the death of the immortal son of the 'Shi' generation. Why should we continue to maintain the relationship between Zhengyiyi and Ziguang Society, or to put it more bluntly, why should we maintain the relationship between the Zhang family and True Lord Ziguang?”

Qi Xuansu is not a fool, but he only knows too little information, so he has too much confusion. At this time, Yao Pei gave enough information, and he immediately had the answer: "Of course he is the descendant of the son of the immortal, and also He is the grandson of True Lord Ziguang.”

"That's right. Just now Zhang Wuhen said personally that the name of Heavenly Master was chosen by Master Yan himself. If you fight too much, you will not have a long life, and the way of heaven will warn you that it will be full. This is very meaningful. In fact, the two words of 'no life' There is another explanation for the word: No one can live for a hundred years, but he always worries about a thousand years. "Yao Pei said, "So I have a guess that the son of the immortal left a pair of children."

Qi Xuansu said in shock: "You mean that the Heavenly Master is actually the grandson of True Lord Ziguang, and Zhang Wuhen is the sister of the Heavenly Master, the granddaughter of True Lord Ziguang, and Zhang Guyan, who sacrificed his life to save his mother, Isn’t he the great-grandson of True Lord Ziguang?”

Yao Pei said: "That's right! From this point of view, it was indeed an accident for True Lord Ziguang to give birth to an heir. I'm afraid she didn't expect it herself, but she did it intentionally not to take away the heir. She didn't just keep the heir. The next way out is that simple.”

"Since Zhengyiyi has such a tacit understanding with Ziguang Society, why does Ziguang Society want to cause trouble in Wanxiang Taoist Palace?" Qi Xuansu asked.

"When Qi Jianyuan came to me, I felt strange, how could Ziguang Society act like this? This is difficult for the heavenly masters to do, and it is not like their style of behavior. Now I understand, this is not what Zhenjun Ziguang meant at all. , but Zhang Guyan made his own decision." Yao Pei looked at Xingye Lake, "As for Zhang Guyan's motives, it is already obvious. He wanted to save his mother Zhang Wuhen, and we were all deceived by him."

Qi Xuansu thought about it carefully and found that it was indeed the case.

So in the end, it was not True Lord Ziguang who came to the Wanxiang Dao Palace, but Zhang Wuhen who appeared in the Wanxiang Dao Palace. The difference between the two was still huge.
