Pawn Crossing the River

Master Qingwei invited Feigong Xizi to meet, and the two had a detailed discussion.

What we are talking about has nothing to do with the royal family or the new policy of Tianmen. It is only related to Izanozun.

Higong Xizi wanted to have reservations, but Tamamo was there. This fox had served Tianmen for hundreds of years. He might not know all the secrets of Tianmen, but he could easily tell the truth from the false.

There is another reason. For a person like Feigong Xizi who is no different from a god, the so-called faith is dispensable. In addition to the inertia of serving the gods since she was a child, the relationship between the three main gods and her is even more important. Like the relationship between monarch and ministers, or the emperor and the clan, rather than gods and believers, it cannot be said to be humble, let alone pious, but at best it is loyal.

As the saying goes, the king chooses the minister and the minister chooses the king. Feigong Xizi's loyalty is naturally limited, and she has to consider various practical interests more.

In the end, Feigong Xizi had to bow her head under the eaves and tell everything she knew.

Some of the secrets of Tianmen are not recorded in writing, but have been passed down orally from generation to generation.

According to Higong Xizi, Yi Zangnuozun was indeed the father of Sanguizi, the former "god king". After Sanguizi united with outside Buddhism to defeat him, Sanguizi became the three main gods, and Feng Linzhou also entered the divine realm. The period of Buddhist practice. Until the Great Sun Tathagata did not appear again, the Confucian mind-study sage was born, and Confucianism ushered in a great revival. The three main gods returned to the family and became loyal disciples of the Confucian mind-study school, so the Confucian ideology of respecting the king and rejecting the barbarians came into being. .

From this time on, Tianmen was no longer a vassal of Buddhism and became independent, becoming the largest sect in Fenglinzhou. However, Tianmen and Fenglinzhou Buddhism still maintained a good cooperative relationship.

As for "fighting the Tao", it is because the Taoist sect has taken over Fenglinzhou. Tianmen really does not have the confidence to call the Central Plains "Yi". Even if it is called "Yi", for those in Fenglinzhou who are proud to imitate the Central Plains, It is also difficult to resonate with it, so it can only be renamed "fighting way".

After Daomen entered Fenglinzhou, they quickly discovered the anomaly in Furong Mountain and launched an investigation. However, Izanozun's era has passed for too long, and even the three main gods who replaced him have not appeared in the world, and few people know the past events. Including the Buddhist and Tianmen, most people are unaware of it, and only a few high-level officials know the truth of this matter through their respective inheritances. They chose to conceal the matter and only sent some other uninformed senior officials to assist the Daomen in the investigation.

At that time, the main focus of the Taoist sect was on Borneo and East Posas Island, and it was not very concerned about Fenglin Island. It also emphasized unification but not governance, so the final investigation ended hastily and no in-depth exploration was done. According to the later speculations of Tianmen and Buddhism, Daomen probably knew about the existence of evil fire and suspected evil gods, but had no intention of breaking the seal and causing trouble for themselves. The specific results were reported to Jinque and then completely sealed. In addition, Daomen replaced Fenglinzhou Taoist House. The higher-ups were more frequent, so that later people from the Taoist sect didn't even know about it.

The key reason why Daomen found something wrong this time was that something went wrong with Tianmen itself. Tianmen was unable to strengthen the seal, which caused a large amount of Izanozun's aura to leak out. A small half of Fenglin Continent was affected, and Ise turned into a ghost kingdom on earth. , Daomen can’t pretend not to see it.

Furthermore, due to the rise of the Zunbang faction, the Taoist sect overturned the past decision of rule without rule and decided to directly intervene in Fenglinzhou's internal affairs, thus leading to the current implementation of the New Deal. Since both rule and control, evil fire and evil gods cannot be left alone, and must be investigated to the end. ..

Coupled with the defections of "old antiques" such as Suzuka Gozen and Tamamozamae one after another, the matter about Izanozun came to the surface.

In addition to affirming and confirming the various inside stories that Daomen learned from other channels, Higong Xizi also provided the specific locations of the five seals of Yi Zangnuozun. The head and torso were sealed at the foot of Furong Mountain, and the right hand was sealed by King Pingjing. Miya, the left hand was sealed in Iino County in Ise, and the right foot was sealed in Sakurajima in Satsuma. However, the left foot was not sealed in Ezo. That was false news released by Ise Shrine, mainly to deceive Suzu. The left legs of these old guys, Shika Gozen and Tamamo Mae, are actually sealed in Izumo Country, just below the lake where the Yamata no Orochi lives.

The reason is not difficult to guess. The seals in Ise are guarded by Ise Shrine, the seals in Heikyo are guarded by the imperial family and the Daitengu, and the Yamata-no-Orochi is responsible for guarding the seals in Izumo Kingdom.

As for Furong Mountain and Sakurajima, both are active volcanoes. If you want to break the seal, there will definitely be a lot of noise. Furong Mountain is the sacred mountain of Fenglinzhou. I don’t know how many eyes are staring at it. The slightest movement will be noticed by others. The Shimazu clan, the lord of the Satsuma clan, played a role similar to that of a "grave keeper" from the beginning, shouldering the responsibility of guarding the seal. Come to Satsuma, take root, and thrive. It's just that the seal has always been safe, so the Shimazu family doesn't need to guard Sakurajima all day long, so they gradually transform into a role like a local powerful.

These five seals were all left by the Great Sun Tathagata. However, the seal on the left hand has been broken and replaced with a seal that is obviously Taoist style.

In fact, there is no need for Feigong Xizi to say that Master Qingwei also knew about this matter. When Qi Xuansu came to him to report, he did not stop him, but he did not let Qi Xuansu try it out. In the end, the Heavenly Master took action and sealed Yi Zangnuo Zun again. 's left hand. However, Qingwei Zhenren suspected that Qi Xuansu or Zhang Yuelu should have gained some benefit from it. The national master personally took action once and helped him capture Ise Shrine. The heavenly master personally took action, so how could he return empty-handed?

Master Qingwei asked a very crucial question: "What would happen if the separated and sealed Izanagi were combined into one new body?"

Feigong Xizi replied: "It will open the door to the kingdom of God Izanagi."

Master Qingwei said: "But as far as I know, Buddha and Sanguizi destroyed the golden body of Izanagi. It is said that the fragments of Izanagi's golden body fell into the human world and turned into many groups of flame monsters. These monsters respectively represent With the different magical powers of Izanagi, Izanagi’s kingdom was also shattered.”

Feigong Xizi said: "Strictly speaking, Izanozun's divine kingdom was indeed broken, but it was not completely broken. According to the records of Tianmen, Izanozun's divine kingdom was divided into two halves, and one half fell into the human world. , broke into fragments of different sizes, and the five seals were built on the basis of the fragments of the Kingdom of God. The other half disappeared, and its location can only be found through the original image of Izanagi."

Master Qingwei noted this and asked: "It is said that both Yamata-no-Orochi and Tamamo-mae were resurrected through the Kingdom of Underworld. What exactly is the Kingdom of Underworld?"

Feigong Xizi said: "I don't know the specific situation in the Kingdom of Huangquan. It is said that Yi Zang Ran Zun, the wife of Yi Zang Nozun, is sleeping in the Kingdom of Huang Quan. There is also a legend that Yi Zang Ran Zun's body was placed in the Kingdom of Huang Quan by Yi Zang Nozun. It is said that the Buddha of Buddhism once entered it to explore and left safely, but the three main gods did not say much about it. Maybe they are the only ones who can find it. Know the truth about Huang Quanguo.”

Master Qingwei said: "I heard that the Kingdom of Huangquan is the Kingdom of God left by the first generation of gods, similar to Hades or Hell in various myths."

Feigong Xizi said: "It is true. The palaces in the sky and the hells underground that the world calls are actually the kingdoms of gods opened by the gods. And you and I both know that the real sky is a boundless, mysterious and vast world, and it is an ascension The place to go after that, and the real underground is the underworld, is a kingdom of gods similar to the underworld.”

Master Qingwei asked: "Where is the specific location of Huangquan Kingdom?"

Feigong Xizi hesitated for a moment, then replied: "Just under the pass of Furong Mountain, it is actually a divine kingdom on the ground. It can no longer even be called a divine kingdom."

Master Qingwei is not shocked or surprised by this. In his opinion, Huangquan Kingdom is more like a cave than a divine kingdom. In fact, the divine kingdom and the cave have many similarities, but the former relies on divine power to maintain. It can be placed in the void. The latter relies on earth energy and must be connected to mountains and rivers. For example, Kunlun Cave Sky relies on the earth energy of Kunlun Mountain. Kunlun Mountain is known as the ancestor of all mountains and is the birthplace of the three dragon veins. Its earth energy can be imagined to be rich. You know, so Kunlun Cave is the largest cave in the world.

If the Kingdom of Huangquan is no longer maintained by divine power, but relies on the earth energy of Furong Mountain, then it really should not be called the Kingdom of God, but should be called the Cave Heaven.

In this way, the "Three Kingdoms" in Fenglinzhou will be very clear. The counterpart of Wei Yuan Kingdom is Feng Linzhou. The corresponding place of Huangquan Kingdom is Dongtian. The Kingdom of Gaotian corresponds to the sky and is the Kingdom of God. It just fits the concept of heaven, earth and people.

Master Qingwei said thoughtfully: "Furong Mountain is your holy mountain. It can not only seal the head and torso of Yi Zangnuo Zun, but also is the seat of the Kingdom of Huangquan. What is so special about it? Also, Furong Mountain rises every hundred years. What happened when he breathed evil fire? Could it be that the seal on Izanagi's head and torso had been loosened hundreds of years ago?

Feigong Xizi showed a rather complicated expression on her face, and finally said: "The real person asked me three questions. In fact, the answers to the three questions are the same. In religion, many times, worship is not because of belief. , but because of fear. For example, various floods and earthquakes are considered to be symbols of the anger of the gods. The reason why Furong Mountain is a sacred mountain is more because of fear."

Master Qingwei finally asked: "Why can Furong Mountain make the entire Fenglin Continent feel fear?"

Feigong Xizi said: "Because there is a huge yin-yang gap under the pass of Furong Mountain, which leads directly to the underworld. Endless yin energy overflows from the pass through the crack, turning Fenglinzhou into the underworld. So the first generation of gods built Huangquan Kingdom threw Huangquan Kingdom into the mountain pass, blocking the overflow of Yin Qi. However, Huangquan Kingdom was eroded by Yin Qi and turned into a hell-like existence. Izanozun initially only mastered the power of flames. Only after taking charge of Huangquan Kingdom can the Yin Qi be integrated into the flames and create the evil fire that we have today."

Master Qingwei's expression finally changed slightly: "Is it possible that Izanozun was sealed in the Underworld?"
