Pawn Crossing the River

Zhang Yuelu asked: "Bingjiejing needs external objects to rely on. What is Lin Lingsu's external object to rely on?"

Yishu replied: "It is one eye, one arm, six ribs and half a heart of this deity. Based on the eyes, arms, ribs and half a heart, the flesh and blood are derived to reshape the body; to transform the three corpses and nine insects The purpose of blending them into three souls and seven souls is to reshape the soul; and finally infuse the soul into the body, thus creating Lin Lingsu, the master of the Jin Dynasty. I said that Lin Lingsu was an evil body. After that, he only had a good body."

Qi Xuansu had to sigh with emotion. The Immortal One Tribulation was indeed powerful. He could create a human being out of thin air without the need for a woman. No wonder immortal people could not have children. They indeed did not need to have children.

Zhang Yuelu sighed: "Planting willows to create shade is the work of an immortal."

The appearance of Lin Lingsu is like inserting a willow stick into the ground, and then the willow stick grows into another willow tree. Farmers call it "cutting".

Zhang Yuelu became more and more certain that the so-called "original deity" was Qingxu Yuanmiao Zhenjun, because judging from the two people's behavior, Lin Lingsu did bring disaster to the country and the people, and one of the reasons for the loss of the Jin Dynasty was: "Belief in nothingness, Abandoning state affairs and draining the people's power." Among them, the leader who promoted him to the level of "indulgence in trust" was Lin Lingsu. Qingxu Yuanmiao Zhenjun has an excellent reputation and meets all the imagination of the world about immortals. He is indeed in line with the sayings of evil body and good body.

The two of them are both founders of the Shenxiao sect, so they are compatible.

There's just one thing that doesn't add up. It's been a full 160 years since Lin Lingsu was granted the title of Lord Qingxu Yuanmiao, and when Lord Qingxu Yuanmiao created Lin Lingsu, he couldn't have been just a heavenly being. At least he is at the level of an immortal. According to the calculations of ordinary immortals, even if one hundred years of a heavenly tribulation are added, it is far from enough for one hundred and sixty years. Unless Qingxu Yuanmiao Zhenjun reached the realm of immortality before he was forty years old, and then immediately created Lin Lingsu, then the next sixty years plus one hundred years of heavenly calamity would be exactly one hundred and sixty years. .

But having said that, history books clearly record that Lin Lingsu was forty-four years old when she disappeared.

There is another possibility that Qingxu Yuanmiao Zhenjun is not a one-kalpa immortal, but a two-kalpa immortal, so the time difference of one hundred and sixty years becomes very abundant.

As for why the Second Tribulation Immortal could not revitalize the Taoist sect, the reason is also very simple, because the Confucian sect at that time had a saint who also survived the Second Tribulation of Heaven - the Saint of Xinxue.

When the saint of Xinxue was still alive, he once transformed into a court official, put down the Ningwang rebellion initiated by Taoism, suppressed many Taoism immortals, called them "thieves in the mountains", and was awarded the title of earl.

In fact, it is quite normal for immortals, saints, Buddhas and Bodhisattvas to have another identity in the secular world. Lin Lingsu became the imperial master of the Jin Dynasty is an example, the saint of Xinxue pacified the rebellion of King Ning is also an example, and the Taishang Taoist ancestor transformed into an official in the Tibetan Chamber of the Great Zhou Dynasty, taking this opportunity to enlighten the Confucianism who had not yet "achieved the Tao" The most holy teacher.

There are similar examples in Buddhism. For example, the Buddhist Mahasthamaprapta Bodhisattva incarnated as Empress Mingkong. She first became the queen, and later directly usurped the power of the Taoist Li family, forcing Taoist priests to be ordained as monks and respect Buddhism. This move also attracted a counterattack from the Taoist immortals. Five Taoist immortals entered the court and jointly forced Empress Mingkong to abdicate, broke her human body, and returned her to the Buddhist kingdom to become the Bodhisattva of Mahasthamaprapta, and returned power to the Li royal family. Called the Five Kings.

Until Xuan Sheng was born, this convention was broken.

Xuansheng believed that this kind of interference was just scratching the surface and would not help. He always believed in the principle that man can conquer nature, so he integrated Taoism, summarized inheritance, developed creation, established the Jinque Taoist system and the nine-level system, abandoned all kinds of traditional rules, and started from behind the scenes Come to the stage and directly intervene in the development of the world.

So the battle between the three religions that had been entangled for thousands of years was immediately decided. Facing the brand-new Taoism, Buddhism and Confucianism were defeated one after another, Confucianism became a vassal, and Buddhism retreated to the Western Regions.

In the past, the dispute between Buddhism and Taoism was a battle between Taoism and Taoism in front of the king. Whoever can win the favor of the king can become the state religion, or it can also be a fight between immortals, bodhisattvas and gods. In today's dispute between Buddhism and Taoism, Taoism directly dispatched flying boats, artillery and tens of thousands of spiritual officers. The troops advanced directly into the hinterland of Buddhism, forcing Buddhism to sign an alliance under the city.

Over the years, Daomen has continued to launch wars. Because Kunlun is located in the Western Region, and Buddhism is also in the Western Region. This can be regarded as "the emperor guarding the country" in a sense. The Taoist Sect must maintain an offensive posture, otherwise the Buddhist army will attack Yujing City.

Qi Xuansu asked: "Then what is the relationship between Mr. Tongzhen Daling and Changchun Master?"

Zhang Yuelu replied: "Both are the founders of Quanzhen Taoism, but they are actually not harmonious. The evidence is that Changchun Master, as a junior, once criticized the Great Master of the Jin Dynasty in "Xuanfeng Qinghui Lu"."

Xuan is the Taoist sect, Feng is the teaching, and Xuanfeng is the teaching of the Taoist sect. After Changchun Zhenren went to the Daxue Mountain Palace to meet the Golden Horde Khan, the Golden Horde Khan issued an edict to compile several conversations between him and Changchun Zhenren into "Xuanfeng Qinghui Lu", which included the story about Lin Ling, the master of the Jin Dynasty. Based on Su's words, the Changchun master believed that Lin Lingsu had bewitched the Jin emperor and indirectly led to the collapse of the country.

Zhang Yuelu continued: "Of course, the Taoist sect has also said a few good words for Mr. Tongzhen Daling to some extent. Lin Guoshi is indeed guilty, but it is not the turn of a Taoist priest to bear the sin of the country's subjugation and blame the king's sin. Taoist priests, eunuchs, women, monks, actors and actresses, however, avoided talking about the emperor and scholar-bureaucrats who should bear the main responsibility. They even said that the common people did not understand the difficulties of the court. Avoiding the important and ignoring the important and diverting attention were common tricks used by Confucianists. "

Qi Xuansu said: "So after Master Changchun discovered Lin Lingsu, he directly chose to take action. Lin Lingsu was taken away by the deity and had many personal belongings. Lin Lingsu was no match for Master Changchun, so he was suppressed by Master Changchun."

Zhang Yuelu said: "That should be the case."

Qi Xuansu looked at Yishen again: "Isn't Mr. Tongzhen Daling an immortal? Why didn't he choose to ascend and die? Instead, he sat here."

Yishang sighed: "I was hurt by me first, and then I met Master Changchun, and fell directly into the realm of immortality. It's not that I don't want to ascend, but I can't ascend, and I can't open the gate of heaven at all. Master Changchun imprisoned me here and asked me to refine elixirs. Atoning for sins until death."

Qi Xuansu was silent for a moment, and suddenly said: "As long as you reach the stage of immortality, you can kill the three corpses that have grown up with you, without being restricted by longevity. Even if you fall to the realm, the three corpses reborn in the body are weak after all and cannot live with each other. It is impossible for the three corpses to kill the host in a short time. You said before that you have been trapped here for five hundred years because of the corpse, which means you have been dead for five hundred years. This is interesting. "How could Mr. Tongzhen Daling die in such a short period of time?"

The alchemy room fell into a long silence.

Zhang Yuelu clenched the paper sword in his hand and said slowly: "I'm afraid that Mr. Tongzhen Daling did not die at the end of his life, but after his cultivation was greatly damaged, he was unable to suppress the three corpse avatars and was harmed by the three corpse avatars with double intentions. You lost your life and your body. The incarnation of the three corpses cannot last long in the world. With this immortal body, you have a body, so you can stay together for hundreds of years. But this body has also become your bondage, because you Once you leave this body, it will dissipate quickly, leaving you trapped here for hundreds of years."

Yishang was silent for a long time, and finally said: "That is between Lin Lingsu and I. I have no ill intentions towards you, as Qian Xiangyun is proof of that."

Qi Xuansu sneered: "Maybe Qian Xiangyun can't satisfy your appetite. If you kill her, you will cut off contact with the outside world. It's better to keep her and make a deal with her so that she can bring you more." She has a lot of souls and flesh, and she happens to be in charge of the underworld, so she has the convenience of her position. This is a combination that benefits both sides. "

Zhang Yuelu said in a deep voice: "Do you think we will make such a deal with you?"

Although the two of them are young, they are both thoughtful and it is indeed difficult to deceive them.

A dark wind gradually began to rise in the alchemy room, getting louder and louder, making a whistling sound.

Qi Xuansu and Zhang Yuelu were silent.

The other party was an immortal when he was alive, but the immortal who died was at the heaven-human stage at most. Even though the two of them did not have the ability to combine swords, let alone "Qingyun" and "Zixia", they could jointly defeat an infinite stage. It is not difficult to become a deity.

If this relic can have the strength of a heavenly creation, they will try to make some big noise. Anyway, the Jade Palace is above them, and other heavenly creations will come to support them.

As for pseudo-immortals, they are existences that have transcended the stage of creation and have not yet proven immortality. If an immortal person falls into a realm, they will usually come to this realm. Dead immortal people will basically not have this realm.

No matter how you look at it, neither of them has anything to fear.

Yishang has not taken action for a long time, obviously he also understands this truth.

After another moment, Yishuo still did not take action, and spoke again: "I am Lin Lingsu, Lin Lingsu is not me. When Lin Lingsu faced this deity, he lost a three-corpse incarnation. Later, he met the real person Changchun again. , another three-corpse incarnation was lost. I am the last three-corpse incarnation, which also causes my memory to be incomplete. If nothing happens, I will be consumed by him sooner or later, so I can only choose to strike first. , The three corpses are meant to kill the host. This is their nature. If the three corpses and the host can live in harmony, then why do they want to kill the three corpses? "

Qi Xuansu said: "What exactly do you want to say?"

Yishang is still sitting behind the alchemy furnace without any change: "I didn't let Qian Xiangyun bring me life soul and flesh and blood. I don't need those things. What I need is the 'soul-returning incense'. From beginning to end, I I only killed one Lin Lingsu. Is this a sin? As long as I can control this corpse and resurrect it, I can become an independent person. "

Qi Xuansu asked: "What do you want?"

Yishang said: "I just want to make a deal. If you don't expose my existence, give me the 'Returning Incense', and I can work for you. You are so young but in a high position, with a bright future, and you will inevitably be involved." In the internal battles among the higher-ups of the Taoist sect, I can help you do things that are inconvenient for you to do."

Qi Xuansu looked at Zhang Yuelu.

Zhang Yuelu also happened to look over.

Eyes facing each other.
