I plant love Gu for Xianjun
Chapter 120 The Truth About the Cauldron Furnace
Up to now, the feelings and thoughts of the people back then are no longer important.The two continued to walk forward, and found that the relief in front of them was consistent with the content in the secret room of the Five Immortals——
Taisu, who secretly escaped from the heavens, hid in the mountains and swamps of the human world, where he got the support and support of the family members of the ancient gods—jingmei and monsters.It was also from the mouths of the family members that Tai Su began to understand the other side of the world, and discovered the truth about those truths that King Yuqing never and would never take the initiative to confess.
At the same time, the tracking from the upper realm never stopped.Ancient Immortals are cunning hunters and greedy beasts.And Taisu is the supreme delicacy that they must eat no matter what.
At first, Taisu could only wander around with his family members and run around.And thus a taste of worry, sadness and fear.But soon, he recalled the wisdom of the ancient immortals taught by Zhenwang Yuqing, and began to try to use it, not only to let the dependents retreat safely, but also to resist.
In the following hundreds of years, a protracted and fierce battle broke out between immortals and gods.Even King Yuqingzhen, who had ignored the conquest for a long time, was forced to get involved.
The next scene of the relief scroll is the confrontation between the two armies, Yuqing and Taisu meet again.
It is a scene of extreme delicacy - none of the other figures in the relief has any facial features.Only Yuqing and Taisu are portrayed vividly.
They were clearly separated by a very long distance, but they were staring at each other, and there was nothing else in their eyes.
Neither friends nor rivals, after that special reunion, Yuqing and Taisu started a private meeting again.
Every moonlit night, led by two jade foxes, they came to a secret place in the world that neither belonged to ancient immortals nor haunted by ghosts.
In the paradise that resembles the Valley of the Five Immortals, they once had fierce disputes over the past, and even fisted each other to vent their anger.
But when the initial anger dies down, they continue to argue, communicate, attract each other, affirm each other, and need each other.
The guidance and obedience under the Wangyou tree have long since become history, but another more equal and deeper relationship is being quietly established.
However, the night meeting of the two did not change the situation of the battle.In the end, everything still has to fall back to the ruthless reality.
Even though Tai Su's birth temporarily boosted the morale of one's side, the decline of the ancient gods is a foregone conclusion.The battle between heaven and man has arrived.
Bing ignited a prairie fire, bones filled the river, and the ancient gods and their dependents were finally trampled under the feet of humans and immortals.And Taisu, the noble prey coveted by all, finally fell into the hands of the hunter.
Lian Zhu Xian's footsteps came to a standstill, his eyes seemed to have bumped into some insurmountable obstacle, and he shrank all of a sudden.
On the relief, the figure that was almost identical to him had become a cold corpse.The part of the heart is empty.And those faceless ancient immortals are dismembering the remaining parts - cutting off the head, dismantling the arms and legs, taking out the internal organs... It is clearly a silent solidified stone sculpture, but it is full of distortion and madness.
Also staring at this tragic scene, Feng Zhangjun didn't say a word, he just gently embraced Lian Zhuxian and kissed him comfortingly.
Accompanied by this kiss, Lian Zhuxian finally opened his mouth and let out a thin breath.Then he stretched out his fingertips, starting from the severed head, and slowly slid forward.
There is another scene ahead - King Yuqingzhen quietly left the majestic palace in the sky with a jade box in his arms.No one saw him off, only two jade foxes beside him, one left and one right, downcast.
Immediately afterwards, the majestic and majestic landscape of the world slowly unfolded on the side of the sarcophagus.But whether it is the vast sea or the lonely smoke desert, there is always that lonely but firm figure.
For an unknown period of time, King Yuqing traveled all over the world, and finally came to this spiritual vein.Here, he created countless stone figures, and used the natural materials and earthly treasures collected from various places to try to fulfill his long-cherished wish day after day.
But obviously, his wish didn't come true.
Lian Zhu Xian and Feng Zhangjun have already walked around the huge sarcophagus, and the past events narrated by the reliefs have also come to an end.
Yuqing opened the jade box brought from the sky, took out a heart that was no longer beating with both hands, brought it to her mouth, and swallowed it mouthful.
"Only those who can withstand the cruelest test can stay together forever and get what they want..."
Lian Zhuxian suddenly recalled Miss Bi Rong who was slowly disappearing on the lake.There was an indescribable complex feeling in my heart.
In the last scene of the relief, King Yuqing closed the entire underground spiritual vein, imprisoned himself and the jade box in the stone coffin, and fell into a long slumber.
"Ah, everything is over." Feng Zhangjun's voice came from Lian Zhu Xian's cheek.
Unknowingly, the two turned back to the original relief.Looking at the Yuqingzhen King holding Chaos in his hand, Lian Zhuxian suddenly remembered something.
"Do you still remember the big stone coffin we saw in the Shuiyue Palace in Xixianyuan? There is no coffin in the stone coffin, but a secret passage leading to the tower full of witches' fingers..."
"Remember, it's very similar to the stone coffin in front of me." Feng Zhangjun deduced: "There is no stone coffin in the Shuiyue Palace in reality. It should be a dream illusion created by the goddess Jiexiang. So it is very likely that Jiexiang has witnessed it in person. I have seen this coffin, and even know the secret of Yuqing and Taisu, so I tried to convey some information to us through that dream..."
Right at this point, a stern voice appeared behind them.
"After Taisu's body died, King Yuqing sacrificed half of his own practice for the private help of the female fairy Jiexiang who guarded Taisu's body. Only then was he able to take Taisu's heart and remnant soul and leave the heaven. After that, the knot The power that Xiang gained was coveted by other ancient immortals, and finally embraced the Fahua mirror made of Taisu's bones, and fell into eternal sleep in Xixianyuan. Now, you have liberated Jiexiang with your own hands, which can be regarded as the end of some karma .”
The two followed the prestige and found Miaoxuanzi, the patriarch of the Fazong, who had been missing just now, standing at the corner of the stone pavilion with his hands up and down.
Feng Zhangjun immediately protected Lian Zhuxian, but Lian Zhuxian was not nervous.
"I don't understand." He questioned Miaoxuanzi directly, "Why did King Yuqing give up his plan to revive Taisu? After all, even a person like Huaiyuan persistently hopes to find Zeng Shan. With the ability of Zhenwang Yuqing, you can't even do this 'little thing'?"
"The little things you said, no one in this world can do."
Miao Xuanzi shook his head, then raised his palm and waved it in front of his eyes.
"Although this mortal body is fragile, it is the most exquisite container in the world. The three souls and seven souls of a person are contained in it. Not only will they not be easily separated, but they will be able to live forever. On the contrary, once the body is broken, the soul has nothing to cling to, and then The three souls passed away and the seven souls dissipated. Back then Tai Su was dismembered and the seven souls were separated. Even if the three souls were reluctantly entrusted to the stone man, what was created was just a walking corpse with incomplete consciousness. Yu Qingzhen The king saw through this level of truth, and finally gave up the pointless attempt, swallowed the heart, sealed the spirit veins, and entered eternal sleep."
"Shouldn't the heart-eating technique be a promise to the next life?" Lian Zhuxian asked, "Since you have already promised the next life, why do you lock yourself up in this dark underground for tens of thousands of years? To reincarnate?"
Miaoxuanzi looked at the coffin and sneered, "So what if I made a promise for the afterlife? It's just a self-comforting expectation. The past has been lost, and the future is uncertain. Only the wisps of remnant souls in front of me actually exist. , What else can we do if we don’t guard them? However, this is just my speculation. As for the truth, no one has known for a long time.”
Feng Zhangjun also asked: "Even if Yuqing and Taisu were buried here, so what? That is their own business. Why did you and Master come to the door and open their coffins?"
"Your master has a different concept than mine."
Miaoxuanzi was not in a hurry to explain, but instead asked a question: "Have you followed Wuyouzi's guidance, along the way, have you noticed the truth that he expects you to discover?"
Lian Zhu Xian replied: "The so-called immortality is just a scam, a trap set by a very small number of people in order to expand their power."
"Indeed." Feng Zhangjun nodded, and asked again: "Then, have you ever thought about what will happen to those masters of various religions who have been called to the heavens and have not heard from them so far?"
Still Lian Zhu Xian thought: "Shortly after ascending to the heaven, they will be tricked into taking the fruit of the Wangyou tree, so that they will be in a trance and unable to resist and protect themselves. After that, they may be imprisoned or even killed."
"Only half of the answers are correct." Miao Xuanzi shook his head: "The correct answers are obviously everywhere in the Central Plains, you can definitely think more boldly."
"..."
Lian Zhu Xian didn't know what he was referring to, so he could only look to Feng Zhangjun again for help.And Fengzhangjun thought for a while, his face changed suddenly: "You mean... the cauldron furnace?!"
"Isn't that the most 'reasonable' answer?"
Miaoxuanzi reached out and stroked the cauldron relief engraved on the stone coffin: "Those who stay in the world to block the way are sent to the upper realm as a generous gift. There, they are stuffed into the cauldron like demons and ghosts in the world, and they have gone through countless hardships. The pain of suffering, from flesh and blood living people to pills, to promote the cultivation of the people in the sky... Do you think that such a method seems familiar?"
Obviously, this is a complete replica of the ancient immortals who hunted and killed the ancient gods. The greed is straightforward, and the efficiency is far better than all the ascetic practices.
Every beneficiary of this plunder is aware of its evilness, so they keep their evil deeds in the dark, and "humbly" let unsuspecting mortals adore the man who created the means ——Jade Qingzhen King.
Miaoxuanzi took a few steps forward and stood in front of the relief of the Wangyou tree.
"For Wuyouzi, Yuqing and Taisu are his biological fathers, finding them may be Wuyouzi's original wish... However, over the years, he has passively accepted the memories of countless victims. Those endless remorse, resentment and resentment disturb his emotions all the time... Wuyouzi is contradictory, but there is only one thing that is clear - he hopes that you will end all of this with your own hands."
"Are you explaining to us for him?" Lian Zhu Xian asked Miao Xuanzi, "So, are you helping him or stopping him?"
"Me? I just walked with him for a while on the road of practicing ideas."
Miao Xuanzi's eyes turned to Lian Zhuxian, but it seemed that he was looking at a farther place.
"I was born in a dark world without order, justice and law. There is only killing and bullying, and even young children have to take up arms to protect themselves. The residents there lack faith, fear, and pursuit With the goal, I am confused all day long, no different from a wild beast. Therefore, I have determined since I was a child that I must become a practitioner and defender of the law. No one can destroy anything that I believe should exist. "
His tone was calm and decisive, Feng Zhangjun chewed it word by word, as if he read something from it.
"So, even though you already knew the truth about the cauldron in the upper realm, you never intended to expose it. Because you believe that the order of 'cultivating immortals' is necessary. And the difference between you and my master lies in this .”
Seeing contempt in his eyes, Miaoxuanzi chuckled instead: "Don't confuse me with those guys who rely on cannibalism to get to the top. Just imagine, everyone in this world knows that the immortal they worship day and night It’s just a group of wild beasts that cannibalize each other; and the upper realm they’re willing to give up and focus on pursuing is just a Shura battlefield where life and death are taken. Guess how they will react?”
"They will be skeptical and refuse to believe." Lian Zhu Xian speculated, "They may even attack those who tell the truth. But as long as enough credible evidence is presented, I believe that there is nothing unclear in this world."
"So what if I believe it?" Miao Xuanzi asked again, "What will happen if I believe it?"
"After believing..." Lian Zhuxian had never seriously thought about this step, so he was inevitably stunned.
Feng Zhangjun answered for him: "After you believe it, you will be angry, you will fight, and you will enter a state of chaos because of the resistance. Various forces attack and compete with each other, and then form a new order in the chaos."
"Sooner or later a new order will emerge. But it will cost countless lives."
Miaoxuanzi took a few steps towards the edge of the stone pavilion, looking at the stone man in the turbulent water under his feet: "And those who lost their lives in the chaos will turn into ghosts and ghosts all over the mountains and plains, attacking the living. So people will continue Capture them and throw them into the cauldron. This cycle goes on and on, and you can't escape the vicious circle of cannibalism and life and death. Even if the truth is revealed, what's the point?"
"So in your opinion, as long as the expected purpose is not achieved, even the truth should be obliterated?" Feng Zhangjun hit the nail on the head.
"What do you say?" Miao Xuanzi looked at him, "You are the one who has been influenced by the emperor's way since childhood. You should understand better than anyone else that the so-called 'way of governing the world' is not as simple as black and white."
Feng Zhangjun lowered his eyes and remained silent, thoughtful.
But Lian Zhuxian said: "I'm afraid it's up to you and me to decide whether we should or not. Since the suzerain has great powers, it should be known that Yun Cang and Dong Xianyuan and other major sects have recognized Fazong as all The culprit of all chaos will soon be crusaded. By then, the truth hidden in this underground world will be revealed to the public sooner or later."
"Will Yun Cang come forward to attack Fazong? Do you really think that Lord Chunwu is a fool?"
Miao Xuanzi sneered: "Ye Hao's body appeared in Xixianyuan, the chief minister died suddenly, Biyunju had an accident... Isn't this series of events enough to arouse their vigilance? Chunwu Junyue believes that Fazong is behind the scenes The master envoy, the less he dares to openly hostile. After all, he is afraid that I will reveal the truth to the world, and by then, it will be the real end of their group."
"Throwing the mouse to avoid it." Feng Zhangjun understood what he meant.
Miaoxuanzi asked again: "So, if you were Lord Chunwu, what would you do?"
"I will try Huairou." Feng Zhangjun thought very quickly, "First of all, I will secretly contact Dong Xianyuan and express my willingness to form an alliance with them. And secretly, I will send people to Fazong to negotiate, and to test how many superiors Fazong has mastered. Second, try to persuade the suzerain to reach an exchange of benefits in exchange for keeping the secrets of the secret."
Having said that, he paused for a moment, and emphasized: "But based on what I know about Mr. Chunwu, the so-called Huairou is just a stopgap measure. As for potential threats, he will eventually find ways to get rid of them."
Lian Zhuxian thumped in his heart: "That's why Lord Chunwu deliberately disclosed the false news of the crusade against Fazong to Zhao Xiangchuan, in order to make us defect to Fazong. And we have been slandered as the murderers who murdered Yunhua Immortal Venerable, If Fazong takes him in again, then Fazong's position will also be questioned. In addition, all parties in Eastern Immortal Source have prejudice against Fazong, so even if the suzerain tells the truth about the upper realm in the future, people will not accept it. "
"That's true." Miaoxuanzi suddenly threw out another shocking truth: "If I tell you again, Lord Chunwu himself is in the hall of Fazong's ancestral court at this moment, waiting to negotiate with my Huairou. How do you look?"
"...!" Feng Zhangjun and Lian Zhuxian became nervous at the same time, "So, what choice is the suzerain going to make?"
At the critical moment, Miaoxuanzi betrayed the truth.
"Mr. Chunwu has Yanlan to receive him temporarily, you two come with me."
-
While speaking, Miao Xuanzi led the two of them down the stone peak again, heading in the same direction as the stone men who were walking.
After leaving the spacious cave hall, they passed through a long and narrow stone corridor. There was obviously no torch, but the light gradually brightened.
Lian Zhu Xian could clearly feel that the more he walked forward, the stronger the aura gathered in the veins.Clusters of crystal flowers slowly bloomed on the primitive and rough cave walls on both sides.
At the end of the crystal stone corridor is a relatively spacious cave, and the surrounding area and the top of the cave are also covered with large crystals, which are reflecting a blurred light that is both real and illusory.
And the real light source was on the wall of the cave they were facing at the moment—it was a huge magic circle, faintly emitting light.
In addition, in the eight directions of the cave, there are eight soul-inducing banners inserted and eight Fazong magicians sitting upright.Obviously, it was under their guidance that the endless stream of stone people finally completed this short journey—they slammed into the cave wall with the magic circle without hesitation, and then disappeared without a trace.
Miaoxuanzi's words confirmed Lian Zhuxian's inner guess: "The other side of the cave is the upper realm."
Looking at the stone man in front of him without hesitation, Feng Zhangjun expressed a doubt: "Yesterday we saw a letter in Yuncang. It said that Fazong secretly destroyed all communication channels between the human world and the upper world. I don't understand. Why are you secretly arranging such a thing?"
Miao Xuanzi did not directly give an answer.
"About a month ago, Wuyouzi suddenly found me. At that time, he looked a bit haggard, but his emotions were extremely high. He said proudly that the net he spent hundreds of years carefully setting was about to be tightened. Get me ready and waiting for a good show.
"I asked him what was going on. He refused to say anything, but just explained his own ideas over and over again. After a while, I got tired and wanted to leave. But he seemed to have changed again. Like a person, he suddenly grabbed me desperately, murmured that he had done something with extremely serious consequences, and begged me to help him clean up the aftermath no matter what."
"This kind of reaction is the same as Master He Li in the depths of the vast maze." Feng Zhangjun frowned, "Master...he is really struggling too."
Miaoxuanzi continued: "I didn't know until then that Wuyouzi used the life-protecting Gu of the Five Immortals Sect to make a strange poison. How do you guess how he used this poison?"
Lian Zhuxian said: "According to our speculation, he mixed the poison into the fruit of the Wangyou tree, so Ye Hao was poisoned."
"Why did it come to this?" Miaoxuanzi sighed, "Wuyouzi told me himself that he threw poison into the cauldron of the upper realm."
"Cauldron furnace?!"
Feng Zhangjun and Lian Zhuxian were taken aback at the same time, but before they opened their mouths to ask, there was a loud and harsh sound in the cave.
It was the hundreds of Dharma bells on the eight soul-inducing banners. There was no wind or vibration in the cave, but they shook violently at the same time, making people dizzy with noise.
"...Here we come!" Miao Xuanzi's face darkened, and he looked at the cave wall with the magic circle painted on it.
At the same time, the sorcerers under the eight soul-inducing flags also immediately formed seals with their hands, chanting words in their mouths.
There was only a dull sound, and a gust of wind rushed out of the cave wall out of thin air, bursting out countless rubble and dust!
Amidst the smoke and dust, a huge animal claw with black scales protruded from the cave wall, holding a stone man's head in its palm, it was smashed into powder with a click! !
Obviously, the monster was about to rush out from the cave wall at this moment, but the magic circle on the cave wall turned into a huge tangible net, covering it firmly, preventing it from moving forward.
However, the monster obviously didn't intend to give up at this point, it continued to charge, its arms stretched out longer and longer, from the forearm to the shoulder, and then a small half of its body emerged.
The reciting voice of Fazong's conjurer became louder and faster, and the light of the magic circle became more dazzling.But Feng Zhangjun became nervous and motioned Lian Zhu Xian to retreat behind him.
And Lian Zhu Xian also saw it - in the face of such a violent collision, the eight conjurers were obviously powerless, and they might barely be able to repel the enemy, but they would definitely be seriously injured.
Fortunately, there was one more person at the scene.
Miaoxuanzi snorted softly, snapped off a crystal cluster on the cave wall, and raised his hand to shoot at the monster.
I saw blood splattering in the circle of light, and the monster let out a faint howl, and saw that a large piece of flesh had been lost on the arm, and even the white bones inside were exposed, which was shocking.
In the next moment, more than a dozen pairs of stone man's arms suddenly stretched out from the magic circle, exerting strength up and down, left and right, so abruptly dragging the strange hand back to the other side of the cave wall little by little.
And when all the arms disappeared, the magic circle dimmed and returned to its place, and the hundreds of magic bells on the soul-inducing flag also fell silent at the same time.
The author has something to say: As of today, all the secrets of the upper world have been revealed (take a long breath), and the story will come to an end (the day after tomorrow finale)
Regarding Taisu and Yuqing, my setting is actually: before Taisu left the upper realm, there was no real love between him and Yuqing, it was more like the relationship between a pet and its owner.As a pet, Taisu didn't think freedom was necessary for him at first.So everything about him was controlled by Yuqing.
The change in their relationship happened after Yuqing released Taisu.Gradually becoming independent and strong, Taisu has a more comprehensive understanding of herself and the world, and knows her real needs and her own position.But at this time, as an independent person, he really attracted Yuqing's love.They meet and communicate at night like two equals, and this is the true face of their love.
--------
In the previous chapter, I muttered that the "memory" in this article represents the "self".So after Taisu died, Yuqing would never be able to revive him, because Taisu must be free, even for Yuqing, he couldn't hold Taisu forever. (Shang Wuyong, look at you!)
--------
As for Miaoxuanzi, he is actually a supporter of the law. His biography is actually very long, but he is not ready to publish it. Who says he is not the protagonist~~
Taisu, who secretly escaped from the heavens, hid in the mountains and swamps of the human world, where he got the support and support of the family members of the ancient gods—jingmei and monsters.It was also from the mouths of the family members that Tai Su began to understand the other side of the world, and discovered the truth about those truths that King Yuqing never and would never take the initiative to confess.
At the same time, the tracking from the upper realm never stopped.Ancient Immortals are cunning hunters and greedy beasts.And Taisu is the supreme delicacy that they must eat no matter what.
At first, Taisu could only wander around with his family members and run around.And thus a taste of worry, sadness and fear.But soon, he recalled the wisdom of the ancient immortals taught by Zhenwang Yuqing, and began to try to use it, not only to let the dependents retreat safely, but also to resist.
In the following hundreds of years, a protracted and fierce battle broke out between immortals and gods.Even King Yuqingzhen, who had ignored the conquest for a long time, was forced to get involved.
The next scene of the relief scroll is the confrontation between the two armies, Yuqing and Taisu meet again.
It is a scene of extreme delicacy - none of the other figures in the relief has any facial features.Only Yuqing and Taisu are portrayed vividly.
They were clearly separated by a very long distance, but they were staring at each other, and there was nothing else in their eyes.
Neither friends nor rivals, after that special reunion, Yuqing and Taisu started a private meeting again.
Every moonlit night, led by two jade foxes, they came to a secret place in the world that neither belonged to ancient immortals nor haunted by ghosts.
In the paradise that resembles the Valley of the Five Immortals, they once had fierce disputes over the past, and even fisted each other to vent their anger.
But when the initial anger dies down, they continue to argue, communicate, attract each other, affirm each other, and need each other.
The guidance and obedience under the Wangyou tree have long since become history, but another more equal and deeper relationship is being quietly established.
However, the night meeting of the two did not change the situation of the battle.In the end, everything still has to fall back to the ruthless reality.
Even though Tai Su's birth temporarily boosted the morale of one's side, the decline of the ancient gods is a foregone conclusion.The battle between heaven and man has arrived.
Bing ignited a prairie fire, bones filled the river, and the ancient gods and their dependents were finally trampled under the feet of humans and immortals.And Taisu, the noble prey coveted by all, finally fell into the hands of the hunter.
Lian Zhu Xian's footsteps came to a standstill, his eyes seemed to have bumped into some insurmountable obstacle, and he shrank all of a sudden.
On the relief, the figure that was almost identical to him had become a cold corpse.The part of the heart is empty.And those faceless ancient immortals are dismembering the remaining parts - cutting off the head, dismantling the arms and legs, taking out the internal organs... It is clearly a silent solidified stone sculpture, but it is full of distortion and madness.
Also staring at this tragic scene, Feng Zhangjun didn't say a word, he just gently embraced Lian Zhuxian and kissed him comfortingly.
Accompanied by this kiss, Lian Zhuxian finally opened his mouth and let out a thin breath.Then he stretched out his fingertips, starting from the severed head, and slowly slid forward.
There is another scene ahead - King Yuqingzhen quietly left the majestic palace in the sky with a jade box in his arms.No one saw him off, only two jade foxes beside him, one left and one right, downcast.
Immediately afterwards, the majestic and majestic landscape of the world slowly unfolded on the side of the sarcophagus.But whether it is the vast sea or the lonely smoke desert, there is always that lonely but firm figure.
For an unknown period of time, King Yuqing traveled all over the world, and finally came to this spiritual vein.Here, he created countless stone figures, and used the natural materials and earthly treasures collected from various places to try to fulfill his long-cherished wish day after day.
But obviously, his wish didn't come true.
Lian Zhu Xian and Feng Zhangjun have already walked around the huge sarcophagus, and the past events narrated by the reliefs have also come to an end.
Yuqing opened the jade box brought from the sky, took out a heart that was no longer beating with both hands, brought it to her mouth, and swallowed it mouthful.
"Only those who can withstand the cruelest test can stay together forever and get what they want..."
Lian Zhuxian suddenly recalled Miss Bi Rong who was slowly disappearing on the lake.There was an indescribable complex feeling in my heart.
In the last scene of the relief, King Yuqing closed the entire underground spiritual vein, imprisoned himself and the jade box in the stone coffin, and fell into a long slumber.
"Ah, everything is over." Feng Zhangjun's voice came from Lian Zhu Xian's cheek.
Unknowingly, the two turned back to the original relief.Looking at the Yuqingzhen King holding Chaos in his hand, Lian Zhuxian suddenly remembered something.
"Do you still remember the big stone coffin we saw in the Shuiyue Palace in Xixianyuan? There is no coffin in the stone coffin, but a secret passage leading to the tower full of witches' fingers..."
"Remember, it's very similar to the stone coffin in front of me." Feng Zhangjun deduced: "There is no stone coffin in the Shuiyue Palace in reality. It should be a dream illusion created by the goddess Jiexiang. So it is very likely that Jiexiang has witnessed it in person. I have seen this coffin, and even know the secret of Yuqing and Taisu, so I tried to convey some information to us through that dream..."
Right at this point, a stern voice appeared behind them.
"After Taisu's body died, King Yuqing sacrificed half of his own practice for the private help of the female fairy Jiexiang who guarded Taisu's body. Only then was he able to take Taisu's heart and remnant soul and leave the heaven. After that, the knot The power that Xiang gained was coveted by other ancient immortals, and finally embraced the Fahua mirror made of Taisu's bones, and fell into eternal sleep in Xixianyuan. Now, you have liberated Jiexiang with your own hands, which can be regarded as the end of some karma .”
The two followed the prestige and found Miaoxuanzi, the patriarch of the Fazong, who had been missing just now, standing at the corner of the stone pavilion with his hands up and down.
Feng Zhangjun immediately protected Lian Zhuxian, but Lian Zhuxian was not nervous.
"I don't understand." He questioned Miaoxuanzi directly, "Why did King Yuqing give up his plan to revive Taisu? After all, even a person like Huaiyuan persistently hopes to find Zeng Shan. With the ability of Zhenwang Yuqing, you can't even do this 'little thing'?"
"The little things you said, no one in this world can do."
Miao Xuanzi shook his head, then raised his palm and waved it in front of his eyes.
"Although this mortal body is fragile, it is the most exquisite container in the world. The three souls and seven souls of a person are contained in it. Not only will they not be easily separated, but they will be able to live forever. On the contrary, once the body is broken, the soul has nothing to cling to, and then The three souls passed away and the seven souls dissipated. Back then Tai Su was dismembered and the seven souls were separated. Even if the three souls were reluctantly entrusted to the stone man, what was created was just a walking corpse with incomplete consciousness. Yu Qingzhen The king saw through this level of truth, and finally gave up the pointless attempt, swallowed the heart, sealed the spirit veins, and entered eternal sleep."
"Shouldn't the heart-eating technique be a promise to the next life?" Lian Zhuxian asked, "Since you have already promised the next life, why do you lock yourself up in this dark underground for tens of thousands of years? To reincarnate?"
Miaoxuanzi looked at the coffin and sneered, "So what if I made a promise for the afterlife? It's just a self-comforting expectation. The past has been lost, and the future is uncertain. Only the wisps of remnant souls in front of me actually exist. , What else can we do if we don’t guard them? However, this is just my speculation. As for the truth, no one has known for a long time.”
Feng Zhangjun also asked: "Even if Yuqing and Taisu were buried here, so what? That is their own business. Why did you and Master come to the door and open their coffins?"
"Your master has a different concept than mine."
Miaoxuanzi was not in a hurry to explain, but instead asked a question: "Have you followed Wuyouzi's guidance, along the way, have you noticed the truth that he expects you to discover?"
Lian Zhu Xian replied: "The so-called immortality is just a scam, a trap set by a very small number of people in order to expand their power."
"Indeed." Feng Zhangjun nodded, and asked again: "Then, have you ever thought about what will happen to those masters of various religions who have been called to the heavens and have not heard from them so far?"
Still Lian Zhu Xian thought: "Shortly after ascending to the heaven, they will be tricked into taking the fruit of the Wangyou tree, so that they will be in a trance and unable to resist and protect themselves. After that, they may be imprisoned or even killed."
"Only half of the answers are correct." Miao Xuanzi shook his head: "The correct answers are obviously everywhere in the Central Plains, you can definitely think more boldly."
"..."
Lian Zhu Xian didn't know what he was referring to, so he could only look to Feng Zhangjun again for help.And Fengzhangjun thought for a while, his face changed suddenly: "You mean... the cauldron furnace?!"
"Isn't that the most 'reasonable' answer?"
Miaoxuanzi reached out and stroked the cauldron relief engraved on the stone coffin: "Those who stay in the world to block the way are sent to the upper realm as a generous gift. There, they are stuffed into the cauldron like demons and ghosts in the world, and they have gone through countless hardships. The pain of suffering, from flesh and blood living people to pills, to promote the cultivation of the people in the sky... Do you think that such a method seems familiar?"
Obviously, this is a complete replica of the ancient immortals who hunted and killed the ancient gods. The greed is straightforward, and the efficiency is far better than all the ascetic practices.
Every beneficiary of this plunder is aware of its evilness, so they keep their evil deeds in the dark, and "humbly" let unsuspecting mortals adore the man who created the means ——Jade Qingzhen King.
Miaoxuanzi took a few steps forward and stood in front of the relief of the Wangyou tree.
"For Wuyouzi, Yuqing and Taisu are his biological fathers, finding them may be Wuyouzi's original wish... However, over the years, he has passively accepted the memories of countless victims. Those endless remorse, resentment and resentment disturb his emotions all the time... Wuyouzi is contradictory, but there is only one thing that is clear - he hopes that you will end all of this with your own hands."
"Are you explaining to us for him?" Lian Zhu Xian asked Miao Xuanzi, "So, are you helping him or stopping him?"
"Me? I just walked with him for a while on the road of practicing ideas."
Miao Xuanzi's eyes turned to Lian Zhuxian, but it seemed that he was looking at a farther place.
"I was born in a dark world without order, justice and law. There is only killing and bullying, and even young children have to take up arms to protect themselves. The residents there lack faith, fear, and pursuit With the goal, I am confused all day long, no different from a wild beast. Therefore, I have determined since I was a child that I must become a practitioner and defender of the law. No one can destroy anything that I believe should exist. "
His tone was calm and decisive, Feng Zhangjun chewed it word by word, as if he read something from it.
"So, even though you already knew the truth about the cauldron in the upper realm, you never intended to expose it. Because you believe that the order of 'cultivating immortals' is necessary. And the difference between you and my master lies in this .”
Seeing contempt in his eyes, Miaoxuanzi chuckled instead: "Don't confuse me with those guys who rely on cannibalism to get to the top. Just imagine, everyone in this world knows that the immortal they worship day and night It’s just a group of wild beasts that cannibalize each other; and the upper realm they’re willing to give up and focus on pursuing is just a Shura battlefield where life and death are taken. Guess how they will react?”
"They will be skeptical and refuse to believe." Lian Zhu Xian speculated, "They may even attack those who tell the truth. But as long as enough credible evidence is presented, I believe that there is nothing unclear in this world."
"So what if I believe it?" Miao Xuanzi asked again, "What will happen if I believe it?"
"After believing..." Lian Zhuxian had never seriously thought about this step, so he was inevitably stunned.
Feng Zhangjun answered for him: "After you believe it, you will be angry, you will fight, and you will enter a state of chaos because of the resistance. Various forces attack and compete with each other, and then form a new order in the chaos."
"Sooner or later a new order will emerge. But it will cost countless lives."
Miaoxuanzi took a few steps towards the edge of the stone pavilion, looking at the stone man in the turbulent water under his feet: "And those who lost their lives in the chaos will turn into ghosts and ghosts all over the mountains and plains, attacking the living. So people will continue Capture them and throw them into the cauldron. This cycle goes on and on, and you can't escape the vicious circle of cannibalism and life and death. Even if the truth is revealed, what's the point?"
"So in your opinion, as long as the expected purpose is not achieved, even the truth should be obliterated?" Feng Zhangjun hit the nail on the head.
"What do you say?" Miao Xuanzi looked at him, "You are the one who has been influenced by the emperor's way since childhood. You should understand better than anyone else that the so-called 'way of governing the world' is not as simple as black and white."
Feng Zhangjun lowered his eyes and remained silent, thoughtful.
But Lian Zhuxian said: "I'm afraid it's up to you and me to decide whether we should or not. Since the suzerain has great powers, it should be known that Yun Cang and Dong Xianyuan and other major sects have recognized Fazong as all The culprit of all chaos will soon be crusaded. By then, the truth hidden in this underground world will be revealed to the public sooner or later."
"Will Yun Cang come forward to attack Fazong? Do you really think that Lord Chunwu is a fool?"
Miao Xuanzi sneered: "Ye Hao's body appeared in Xixianyuan, the chief minister died suddenly, Biyunju had an accident... Isn't this series of events enough to arouse their vigilance? Chunwu Junyue believes that Fazong is behind the scenes The master envoy, the less he dares to openly hostile. After all, he is afraid that I will reveal the truth to the world, and by then, it will be the real end of their group."
"Throwing the mouse to avoid it." Feng Zhangjun understood what he meant.
Miaoxuanzi asked again: "So, if you were Lord Chunwu, what would you do?"
"I will try Huairou." Feng Zhangjun thought very quickly, "First of all, I will secretly contact Dong Xianyuan and express my willingness to form an alliance with them. And secretly, I will send people to Fazong to negotiate, and to test how many superiors Fazong has mastered. Second, try to persuade the suzerain to reach an exchange of benefits in exchange for keeping the secrets of the secret."
Having said that, he paused for a moment, and emphasized: "But based on what I know about Mr. Chunwu, the so-called Huairou is just a stopgap measure. As for potential threats, he will eventually find ways to get rid of them."
Lian Zhuxian thumped in his heart: "That's why Lord Chunwu deliberately disclosed the false news of the crusade against Fazong to Zhao Xiangchuan, in order to make us defect to Fazong. And we have been slandered as the murderers who murdered Yunhua Immortal Venerable, If Fazong takes him in again, then Fazong's position will also be questioned. In addition, all parties in Eastern Immortal Source have prejudice against Fazong, so even if the suzerain tells the truth about the upper realm in the future, people will not accept it. "
"That's true." Miaoxuanzi suddenly threw out another shocking truth: "If I tell you again, Lord Chunwu himself is in the hall of Fazong's ancestral court at this moment, waiting to negotiate with my Huairou. How do you look?"
"...!" Feng Zhangjun and Lian Zhuxian became nervous at the same time, "So, what choice is the suzerain going to make?"
At the critical moment, Miaoxuanzi betrayed the truth.
"Mr. Chunwu has Yanlan to receive him temporarily, you two come with me."
-
While speaking, Miao Xuanzi led the two of them down the stone peak again, heading in the same direction as the stone men who were walking.
After leaving the spacious cave hall, they passed through a long and narrow stone corridor. There was obviously no torch, but the light gradually brightened.
Lian Zhu Xian could clearly feel that the more he walked forward, the stronger the aura gathered in the veins.Clusters of crystal flowers slowly bloomed on the primitive and rough cave walls on both sides.
At the end of the crystal stone corridor is a relatively spacious cave, and the surrounding area and the top of the cave are also covered with large crystals, which are reflecting a blurred light that is both real and illusory.
And the real light source was on the wall of the cave they were facing at the moment—it was a huge magic circle, faintly emitting light.
In addition, in the eight directions of the cave, there are eight soul-inducing banners inserted and eight Fazong magicians sitting upright.Obviously, it was under their guidance that the endless stream of stone people finally completed this short journey—they slammed into the cave wall with the magic circle without hesitation, and then disappeared without a trace.
Miaoxuanzi's words confirmed Lian Zhuxian's inner guess: "The other side of the cave is the upper realm."
Looking at the stone man in front of him without hesitation, Feng Zhangjun expressed a doubt: "Yesterday we saw a letter in Yuncang. It said that Fazong secretly destroyed all communication channels between the human world and the upper world. I don't understand. Why are you secretly arranging such a thing?"
Miao Xuanzi did not directly give an answer.
"About a month ago, Wuyouzi suddenly found me. At that time, he looked a bit haggard, but his emotions were extremely high. He said proudly that the net he spent hundreds of years carefully setting was about to be tightened. Get me ready and waiting for a good show.
"I asked him what was going on. He refused to say anything, but just explained his own ideas over and over again. After a while, I got tired and wanted to leave. But he seemed to have changed again. Like a person, he suddenly grabbed me desperately, murmured that he had done something with extremely serious consequences, and begged me to help him clean up the aftermath no matter what."
"This kind of reaction is the same as Master He Li in the depths of the vast maze." Feng Zhangjun frowned, "Master...he is really struggling too."
Miaoxuanzi continued: "I didn't know until then that Wuyouzi used the life-protecting Gu of the Five Immortals Sect to make a strange poison. How do you guess how he used this poison?"
Lian Zhuxian said: "According to our speculation, he mixed the poison into the fruit of the Wangyou tree, so Ye Hao was poisoned."
"Why did it come to this?" Miaoxuanzi sighed, "Wuyouzi told me himself that he threw poison into the cauldron of the upper realm."
"Cauldron furnace?!"
Feng Zhangjun and Lian Zhuxian were taken aback at the same time, but before they opened their mouths to ask, there was a loud and harsh sound in the cave.
It was the hundreds of Dharma bells on the eight soul-inducing banners. There was no wind or vibration in the cave, but they shook violently at the same time, making people dizzy with noise.
"...Here we come!" Miao Xuanzi's face darkened, and he looked at the cave wall with the magic circle painted on it.
At the same time, the sorcerers under the eight soul-inducing flags also immediately formed seals with their hands, chanting words in their mouths.
There was only a dull sound, and a gust of wind rushed out of the cave wall out of thin air, bursting out countless rubble and dust!
Amidst the smoke and dust, a huge animal claw with black scales protruded from the cave wall, holding a stone man's head in its palm, it was smashed into powder with a click! !
Obviously, the monster was about to rush out from the cave wall at this moment, but the magic circle on the cave wall turned into a huge tangible net, covering it firmly, preventing it from moving forward.
However, the monster obviously didn't intend to give up at this point, it continued to charge, its arms stretched out longer and longer, from the forearm to the shoulder, and then a small half of its body emerged.
The reciting voice of Fazong's conjurer became louder and faster, and the light of the magic circle became more dazzling.But Feng Zhangjun became nervous and motioned Lian Zhu Xian to retreat behind him.
And Lian Zhu Xian also saw it - in the face of such a violent collision, the eight conjurers were obviously powerless, and they might barely be able to repel the enemy, but they would definitely be seriously injured.
Fortunately, there was one more person at the scene.
Miaoxuanzi snorted softly, snapped off a crystal cluster on the cave wall, and raised his hand to shoot at the monster.
I saw blood splattering in the circle of light, and the monster let out a faint howl, and saw that a large piece of flesh had been lost on the arm, and even the white bones inside were exposed, which was shocking.
In the next moment, more than a dozen pairs of stone man's arms suddenly stretched out from the magic circle, exerting strength up and down, left and right, so abruptly dragging the strange hand back to the other side of the cave wall little by little.
And when all the arms disappeared, the magic circle dimmed and returned to its place, and the hundreds of magic bells on the soul-inducing flag also fell silent at the same time.
The author has something to say: As of today, all the secrets of the upper world have been revealed (take a long breath), and the story will come to an end (the day after tomorrow finale)
Regarding Taisu and Yuqing, my setting is actually: before Taisu left the upper realm, there was no real love between him and Yuqing, it was more like the relationship between a pet and its owner.As a pet, Taisu didn't think freedom was necessary for him at first.So everything about him was controlled by Yuqing.
The change in their relationship happened after Yuqing released Taisu.Gradually becoming independent and strong, Taisu has a more comprehensive understanding of herself and the world, and knows her real needs and her own position.But at this time, as an independent person, he really attracted Yuqing's love.They meet and communicate at night like two equals, and this is the true face of their love.
--------
In the previous chapter, I muttered that the "memory" in this article represents the "self".So after Taisu died, Yuqing would never be able to revive him, because Taisu must be free, even for Yuqing, he couldn't hold Taisu forever. (Shang Wuyong, look at you!)
--------
As for Miaoxuanzi, he is actually a supporter of the law. His biography is actually very long, but he is not ready to publish it. Who says he is not the protagonist~~
