Pawn Crossing the River

The reason why I say many sources is because a head similar to Shuten Doji can also be regarded as one of the sources, but the sources can be large or small. The scope of influence of small sources is naturally smaller, and the scope of influence of large sources is larger. There is no doubt that Shuten Doji's head can only be regarded as a small source, while this cave is a big source.

This indirectly supports Zhang Yuelu's suspicion and speculation - this is probably one of the five sealed places of Izanozun.

However, Qi Xuansu and Zhang Yuelu were not too afraid. Of course Izanozun had a great reputation, but Tamamozamae and Suzuka Gozen had already made it very clear that Izanozun had been defeated by Sanguizi and Buddhism. The body and the Kingdom of God, this is equivalent to having half of the power cut off. The body was divided into five parts. The most powerful head and torso were sealed in Furong Mountain, and half of it, or a quarter, was lost. At most, one of the four limbs is sealed here, which is one sixteenth. It is impossible for one hand and one foot to have the strength of an immortal. That would be too outrageous.

Of course, the weakening of strength does not affect the ability of one hand or one foot to affect Ise. This has to mention the concept of "person" often used by Westerners. The person of human beings is called personality, and the person of God is called godhead. There are naturally higher and lower levels, and it can also be simply understood as life. Regarding the difference in levels, there is no doubt that immortals are more advanced than mortals.

The same is naturally true for Izanozun. Even if he is dismembered, his essence is still a god, which will involve some laws and authority.

More importantly, according to the legend of Fenglinzhou, it was Izanagi who created Fenglinzhou, or in other words, perfected Fenglinzhou based on the existing foundation, so he is closely related to Fenglinzhou. It is difficult to kill within the range of Linzhou, it will only be sealed, and it can also leverage huge power rules with a small force, causing very obvious and drastic changes.

Because of this, there is no conflict between Izanozun being able to influence Ise and Izanozun being very weak.

This is the main reason why Qi Xuansu and others dare to come here.

However, the Taoist sect is not interested in this, and rarely mentions the concept of personality. It has always been distinguished by realm cultivation. That is to say, Taoism believes that immortals and mortals are all human beings, and there is no essential difference, only differences in cultivation. Moreover, Taoism has always been opposed to following the example of the Western Holy Court in referring to immortals and gods as "he", and always uses "he". Just like Taoism emphasizes that one must call oneself "I" and does not use "this seat" and other obvious self-titles with elevating meanings. The main thing is Highlight the concept of equality. Regardless of whether this equality can be implemented in practice, at least it must be done verbally.

"Where should we go now?" Qi Xuansu asked.

Zhang Yuelu said: "The cave is on the verge of breaking, just like a leaking water tank. The escaping breath of the cave is like leaking water. The breath inside the cave will flow like water, rushing towards the gaps and loopholes. We can find it based on the flow direction of the breath. The specific "leaking" place. "

Xiao Yin is an expert in this field. He can feel all kinds of strong Yin Qi from eight hundred miles away. After Zhang Yuelu mentioned it, he immediately said: "It's really like this. I feel the flow of Qi you mentioned."

Only Qi Xuansu felt nothing and could only look at Xiao Yin.

Xiao Yin gained confidence again, puffed out her chest, and said to Qi Xuansu: "Apologise!"

Qi Xuansu asked: "What are you apologizing for?"

Xiao Yin said confidently: "Who said I was useless just now? Now that I am being used, shouldn't I apologize?"

Qi Xuansu could only say: "Okay, I apologize, you can still be of some use besides eating."

"Are you apologizing? There is no sincerity at all, what kind of attitude." Xiao Yin was very dissatisfied and expressed that she did not want to accept Qi Xuansu's apology.

After the two got acquainted with each other, they were not as polite as before. Qi Xuansu said deliberately: "With this attitude, whether you like it or not, it doesn't work. You can go to Fengxian Hall to report me, or you can go to Jinque to complain."

Xiao Yin opened her mouth and wanted to give Qi Xuansu a bite, but she didn't expect that Qi Xuansu had ever-changing magical powers. He stretched his arms slightly, pressed her forehead, and let her open her teeth and claws in any way, whether it was her mouth or her little arms and legs. , couldn't touch Qi Xuansu at all, and could only be helpless and furious.

Zhang Yuelu said with a serious attitude: "This cave is not small in size. If you want to search it carefully, plus the return time, three days may not be enough."

The fastest way is to go directly to the place where the cave is broken. The closer we get to the core of the seal, the greater the pressure it endures, the more severe the corrosion it suffers, and the easier it is to break, so as long as we find the broken place, we are not far from our goal of this trip. Are you two listening to me? You two, stop making trouble. "

Qi Xuansu was playing "hide and seek" with Xiao Yin. Xiao Yin couldn't bite Qi Xuansu himself, so he changed his mind and bit Qi Xuansu's hand. Qi Xuansu kept dodging, but did not let Xiao Yin bite him.

Hearing Zhang Yuelu's words, Qi Xuansu was about to respond. He was slightly distracted when he was bitten on the wrist by Xiao Yin.

Qi Xuansu kept shaking his hand, but Xiao Yin refused to let go, flying up and down with Qi Xuansu's swinging arm.

In the end, Zhang Yuelu couldn't stand it any longer, stopped and severely reprimanded one child and one child, and then it came to an end.

Qi Xuansu casually wiped away the two teeth marks on his wrist: "If you bite me, we will be considered equal, so hurry up and lead the way."

Xiao Yin spat, rolling her eyes at Qi Xuansu: "Don't get lost."

Qi Xuansu laughed and scolded: "Stop talking nonsense and go your way."

Xiao Yin walked in front, Qi Xuansu and Zhang Yuelu followed, moving forward.

This place seems to be a wilderness, but after walking for a while, you will find that there are still some things.

First, a sun appeared at the end of the line of sight, but this sun was somewhat different from the sun seen in the real world. Not only was it covered with a thin layer of mist, making it appear blurry, but its light did not make the sun appear blurry. People feel warm and bright, but instead feel dark and cold.

This sun seems to be a cold eye, staring coldly at the cave sky here.

After walking for a while, the sun became farther and farther away, almost falling to the horizon, and the light was stained with blood red.

Qi Xuansu was sure that this was not caused by the passage of time, but more like a change caused by distance.

Soon, a dilapidated city appeared in the sight of the three people. This city is far from majestic. From the perspective of the Central Plains, it is the size of a county town, not a large county. The sun falling on the city should have been shining brightly, even emitting golden light, but at this time, the sun was setting, and the dark red light became darker and darker, revealing dilapidation and decay.

When the three of them approached the city, they found that it was a collapsing city.

According to common sense, collapse should be a very short-lived process and should not last for a long time. But this city is very contrary to common sense. From the outside, it seems that the city wall has cracked many huge cracks that can allow people to pass through. It should collapse in the next moment, but it has remained in this state without changing. If you look carefully, you can see that there are still a lot of raised dust and small splashes of gravel frozen in the air. The cracks are actually expanding at a very subtle speed, and this speed is almost stationary, as if the flow of time is being controlled. It has been slowed down countless times, and it will take at least dozens or hundreds of years to truly collapse, so this is a city that is collapsing.

When he arrived at the city gate, Xiao Yin stopped without Qi Xuansu's instructions and signaled Qi Xuansu to go ahead.

Who makes Qi Xuansu the "hardest"? Compared with him, Xiao Yin and Zhang Yuelu are both weak women.

Qi Xuansu did not refuse and walked at the front.

After passing through the half-collapsed city gate and the slightly dark city gate opening, entering the city, you will immediately see a different scene. It is still dusk outside, but it is already late at night in the city, and it is pitch black.

There are many armors scattered among the ruins of various buildings, which are the traditional Fenglinzhou armor style, lifeless. After Qi Xuansu walked into the city, they seemed to be alarmed. Black gas surged out from the ground and filled the gaps in the armor. The armors made a clattering sound, flew up on their own, and spliced ​​into human shapes, in the eyes. The position lights up with two red lights.

Soon, an army of warriors appeared in front of Qi Xuansu, holding spears and rushing towards Qi Xuansu.

Qi Xuansu pulled out the "Pure Bodhi" and strode forward.

Obviously, these are all yin objects, and "Pure Bodhi", as a Buddhist soldier, naturally has the effect of restraining and transcending these yin objects.

Zhang Yuelu and Xiao Yin also left

After entering the city, Zhang Yuelu did not take any action, his eyes were full of purple energy, and he used the "Immortal Qi Watching Technique" to observe the surroundings.

Soon, Zhang Yuelu came to the conclusion that this city was a fragment of the Kingdom of God, filled with undissipated divine power. It was the existence of these divine powers that prevented the city from completely collapsing. In other words, it can be said that the entire cave is built on the basis of this fragment of the Kingdom of God, and its core essence is this crumbling city.

These armors, let's call them ghost soldiers, may have been the guards of the Kingdom of God. When the Kingdom of God was prosperous, they would also be bathed in golden light and sacrosanct. However, they both prospered and suffered losses. With the fall of the Kingdom of God, they also changed from divine guards to lonely ghosts.

Buddhism is far superior to Taoism in terms of Shinto attainments. In order to ensure the immortality of the Buddhist kingdom, Buddhism collects the souls of believers into its own Buddhist kingdom so that they can be reborn in the Buddhist kingdom. Therefore, there are always as many Buddhist sons as the sands of the Ganges in the Buddhist kingdom. These so-called disciples of the Buddha chant sutras day and night to keep the Buddha's kingdom from declining and to strengthen the Buddha's golden body.

However, Buddhism will never change. Buddhist disciples have been repeating the same thing for thousands of years. Their spirituality has been constantly depleted, and the power of vows they can provide has been greatly weakened. Therefore, Buddhism created the "Six Paths of Reincarnation" system, which made believers in Buddhism We are constantly reincarnated and reborn, washing away the memories of the past and starting over, rejuvenated with spirituality and vitality.

"Six Paths of Reincarnation" is a specialty of Buddhism. Let alone Tianmen, even Taoism does not have such ability. Naturally, the divine guards in these fragments of the Kingdom of God cannot be reborn like the Buddha. They have already lost all their spirituality. They just rely on the Kingdom of God to maintain a glorious body. When the Kingdom of God collapses, they will not even have this body. Sometimes, even the most basic sanity will not be retained.

Therefore, these former divine guards basically had no magical powers at all. They only relied on instinct to fight and were no match for Qi Xuansu.
