Chapter 404 Chapter 403. The Immortal Road continues
Han Qingtao's expression was as solemn as Li Hang's: "It's not clear whether the Heavenly Palace is an old one, but I think we must be on guard."
“What Fellow Taoist Han said is true.” Li Hang nodded.
The top of the mountain fell silent for a while, and the two people stood facing each other in silence.
After a while, another line of spiritual light flashed in the distance, and in an instant, it also reached the top of the mountain.
An elderly Taoist priest whose clothes were somewhat similar to Li Hang's, but not exactly the same, and whose Taoist robes were mainly ocher in color, appeared in front of Li Hang and Han Qingtao.
The old Taoist priest has a childlike face, a kind face, and a long breath. Everything seems to be unremarkable, but it makes people feel like they have returned to nature.
"Brother Yan Dao." Li Hang and Han Qingtao spoke first and greeted him.
The old Taoist smiled and returned the greeting: "Fellow Daoist Li and Daoist Han, long time no see. How are you?"
He looked around Penglai, and then sighed softly: "Such a fairyland, it's a pity that it was disturbed by the people from Longhu Mountain in the Tang Dynasty, and now it has just returned to its old appearance."
The old Taoist priest withdrew his gaze and looked at Li Hang and Han Qingtao in front of him: "The old Taoist had no time to come here, it's a big thank you to my fellow Taoists."
Han Qingtao said: "This matter was caused by the indiscretion between Pindao and Brother Huang Dao of Chunyang Palace in the Tang Dynasty."
Old Taoist priest: "Fellow Taoist Han has spoken seriously."
While the three of them were talking, another stream of light flashed in the distance and quickly reached the top of the mountain.
The light fell, and a young Taoist wearing cloth clothes and hemp shoes appeared, roughly similar to Han Qingtao's clothing style.
The young Taoist's real age is not taken into account. Judging only from his appearance, he is no more than 20 or 30 years old and looks extremely young.
“Three Taoist brothers.” The young Taoist met Han Qingtao and the others.
His name is Shenxi.
In recent years, Penglai has been reopened. Among the masters of Penglai's five Taoist sects, he is called Dongfang Qingdi.
At this point, apart from the fallen Northern Black Emperor Huang Xuanpu, the remaining four gates of Penglai, Gaozhen, are gathered here today.
Eastern Qingdi, Shenxi.
The White Emperor of the West, Han Qingtao.
The Red Emperor of the South, Li Hang.
And the old Taoist in yellow who seems to be from the Danding sect of Taoism, Central Yellow Emperor, Yan Keji.
In each world, they are all giants.
In the past year, by chance, I entered Penglai, one of the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands, in a short period of time.
In addition to the previous Huang Xuanpu, with the contact, although there were many collisions and frictions, they finally turned into restraint and explored Penglai together.
Here, they successively unearthed many relics of the ancient Fu Lu Sect and the ancient Celestial Palace, and gained something.
Although their personal experiences in life are different, several people have embarked on the same path due to various reasons:
Relying on the inheritance of the ancient Heavenly Palace and the ancient Talisman Sect, we established a Taoist kingdom on earth.
In their respective worlds, they all have an inheritance and plan secretly.
During this process, many other things also happened.
Among them, Huang Xuanpu, the Black Emperor of the North, who was in the Tang Dynasty, died completely. Later, Xu Yuanzhen entered Penglai from the Tang Dynasty and made a big fuss.
But in the process, Shen Xi, Li Hang and others also discovered many secrets.
Some of these secrets have helped them a lot, but some also herald trouble and crisis.
“The strange movement of the blue sky may be an old part of the Heavenly Palace.” Han Qingtao said.
Yan Keji nodded slowly: "What Taoist friend Han said is true, and the old Taoist also realizes it."
Shen Xi's face was calm and unfazed: “Are they their descendants, or... the old members of Tiangong?”
Han Qingtao: "After so many years, if the old Tiangong zodiac is still alive before the end of his life, then his cultivation strength may be..."
“There is no doubt how tragic the war was, but there were many secrets and the details are unclear.” Li Hang said slowly.
In front of them, Yan Keji, Shen Xi, and Han Qingtao were all silent.
The four Taoists were all high-spirited, and at this moment they all looked down at the mountain peaks at their feet.
Here is a relic left behind by the ancient Heavenly Palace.
In ancient times, there were three realms: heaven, earth, and man.
Due to the sudden change of heaven and earth, the heaven was finally divided into nine heavens and the earth was divided into ten lands, leaving only the human world intact.
Time flies, and many years later, even the Heavenly Palace has disappeared, and the world has lost its supreme control.
At that time, major families and sects in the human world were ups and downs, and dynasties were changing. Although chaos occurred frequently, fortunately, the path to immortality was not cut off, and there were always those who ascended to immortality and traveled around the world.
Until the end of the Han Dynasty.
When the world is in turmoil and the situation is turbulent, the heaven and earth are also undergoing great changes.
Someone who is called the descendant of Tiangong and is an old descendant is born and wants to re-establish Tiangong.
Due to various reasons, a fierce war broke out between the old members of the Heavenly Palace and the opponents, and the spread gradually spread until it swept the human world and even the entire Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.
Many strong men and countless creatures perished as a result.
History and records are scattered or even confused.
In the end, it even caused turmoil in the time and space of the human world, and it was divided.
In the nine heavens and ten lands, they all disappeared.
The spiritual energy of heaven and earth was turbulent and low, which cut off the path to immortality, and no one who ascended to immortality was seen for many years.
Until now, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is surging, and the world has finally begun to turn around.
For Han Qingtao, Li Hang and others, this is an opportunity.
But it can also be a crisis.
Although they wanted to comfort themselves that the Great War at the end of the Han Dynasty swept through the world and no one could stay away from it, and the immortals and Buddhas perished as a result, Han Qingtao, Li Hang and others knew that it was only the most ideal situation, and it would be difficult to take it seriously as they wished. .
Unfortunately, they explored Penglai and learned about it one after another.
After they also embarked on the path of re-establishing the Heavenly Palace, they realized that there might be "predecessors" with the same path in this world.
“The spiritual energy of the human world has been low for many years. If there are still people above the Nine Heavens who exist, they will probably land in one or more worlds among the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.”
Li Hang said slowly: "For example, Biluo."
Shen Xi, who had been silent most of the time, now calmly spoke: "If this is really the case, everything is due to fate."
Yan Keji: "What Daoist Shen said is true. If we do our best in human affairs, we can live up to our destiny. All kinds of changes, misfortunes and blessings depend on each other, and it may not all be a hardship."
Han Qingtao: "Shall we... go to Biluo to see it?"
Li Hang: “The situation is unclear and it is not advisable to act rashly.”
Yan Keji and Han Qingtao nodded slightly.
“What do the three Taoist friends think about...the Tianshi Mansion in Longhu Mountain in the Tang Dynasty?” Yan Keji then asked.
Li Hang said calmly: "To be honest, Pindao had some hope of obtaining the Heavenly Master's Seal, but in the end he fell short.
The general trend of Longhu Mountain in the Tang Dynasty has been achieved. Looking at it from a poor Taoist perspective, looking at all the people in the sky and the earth, they are all the best in the various branches of Taoism. The rest are one by one, and few can subdue them.
Wanting to win the Celestial Master's Seal or the Wanfa Zongtan Altar, it is no longer possible for one family to do it. "
Han Qingtao said: "The inheritance of the Fulu Sect in the Tang Dynasty is the new inheritance after the Taoism was changed to the Yuan Dynasty in the late Han Dynasty. Biluo has changed. If it is really an old part of the Tiangong, they originally wanted to recreate the scene of the Tiangong controlling all directions. , they also support the inheritance of the ancient Fu Lu Sect, and even if there is no discord between them and the Dragon Tiger Mountain of the Tang Dynasty, it is difficult to get along. "
"It's too early to say anything at the moment. We are thinking about some circumstantial methods." Yan Keji said.
Han Qingtao thought of a junior who slipped through his fingers in the Tang Dynasty.
The junior named Chen Yi entered Luo Yuan. Although more than ten years had passed, Han Qingtao, the White Emperor of the West, still remembered that the other party had escaped and revealed some secrets, which seemed to be vaguely related to the Tiangong.
That might be an opportunity, but it was a pity that she was a little blind at the time and failed to pay the highest attention to it immediately, so that Chen Yi could escape.
Han Qingtao was thinking in his heart, but there was no strange color on his face.
After the four of them talked and decided on a general strategy, Shen Xi was the first to say goodbye and left, disappearing in Penglai.
Yan Keji said goodbye to Li Hang and Han Qingtao, and then left as well.
Li Hang watched the old Taoist priest disappear, and after a while he said, "I'm still not sure."
Han Qingtao nodded: "Even a poor Taoist can't see through Brother Yan."
Although Shen Xi is indifferent and taciturn, Han Qingtao and Li Hang also have some understanding of him after getting along with him over the years.
For example, although Han Qingtao and Li Hang are not sure about the specific situation of the human world where Shen Xi lives, in terms of length of time and rich history, it should be neither as good as the Ming Dynasty world nor as the Song Dynasty world. In fact, the gap may not be small.
For example, in the human world where Shen Xi is located, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth revives again, and its arrival time is much later than that of the Ming Dynasty and the Song Dynasty...
However, both Han Qingtao and Li Hang felt that their understanding of Yan Keji was extremely limited.
This point was also felt by Huang Xuanpu of the Tang Dynasty when he was still alive.
"Fellow Daoist Han, I don't know what's going on with Zhenwu Temple, the branch of our sect in the Ming Dynasty?" Li Hang changed the topic and asked Han Qingtao.
Han Qingtao: "Brother Mu Dao and Zhenwu Guan are also in a lot of trouble right now."
Li Hang smiled: "Have you had an in-depth talk with him, fellow Taoist?"
Han Qingtao: “No chance.”
But she was convinced that Mu Chunyang was not completely unaware of the affairs of the Ming Dynasty in his early years.
At the same time, she also felt that the other party did not agree with the human world.
However, to some extent, a tacit attitude has been adopted.
Han Qingtao believed that this was because Mu Chunyang was also not interested in Ming Neo-Confucianism, so he quietly acquiesced to the possible changes.
But under the current situation in the Ming Dynasty, after the Daoguo incident was exposed, he had to express something.
Han Qingtao did not resent Mu Chunyang because of this.
But again, after this incident, you Zhenwu Guan will also not feel comfortable.
Han Qingtao is paying more attention to himself right now.
The spiritual energy of heaven and earth surges, and the nine heavens and ten earths reopen.
It also means that the path to immortality that has been cut off for many years in the human world has been re-opened, and the door to immortality may be reopened.
The world of Ming Dynasty.
Among the beautiful mountains and rivers, many people are stationed here and are spreading out to search and search in the mountains.
Later, the soldiers reported back to the general camp, but they still could not find a weak point in the void that could open the "portal" to Penglai.
In the commander's tent, Yu Zan, the high official of the imperial court who was supervising the search here, waved his hand silently, and the messenger quickly retreated.
Only Yu Zan, who looked elegant but was wearing a general's robe, and a middle-aged official in court uniform were left in the tent.
The middle-aged official stood with his hands behind his back and said not a word.
Yu Zan saluted behind him: "Mr. Ge..."
Chao Feng, one of the great scholars at that time, finally said: "Let's search again."
Yu Zan: "Yes, Mr. Ge."
He paused and then said: "Mr. Ge, I think that the traitor Han Qingtao was able to escape because someone was secretly communicating with him and helping him..."
Chao Ge Lao turned around: "You mean...Mu Zhenren?"
Yu Zan: “Exactly.”
Chao Feng: "The master of Zhenwu Guanmu is a real person who has been granted the title by the Holy Emperor himself. How can he associate with such a rebellious and unethical person?"
Yu Zan: "Han Qingtao, the traitor, had a somewhat special identity in his early days."
"It's not impossible to say so." Chao Feng said: "Find a few censors to hear about the incident and report this situation back to the capital. After all, the matter has not been found out yet, so you and I don't need to report it for the time being."
Yu Zan: "The elder's wish is true. I believe that your Majesty and the Chief Assistant will find out the truth."
On the one hand, Han Qingtao needs someone to take the blame for his escape.
On the other hand, when this matter was reported, Mu Chunyang would return to Beijing to face the Holy Spirit to avoid suspicion, and Liu Chong and Liu Ge would not be able to rely on him for help.
"Personally speaking, I am still willing to continue to believe in Zhenren Mu." Chao Feng sat down and said at the same time: "Your Majesty has always been kind and generous, and I will definitely give Zhenren Mu a chance. Speaking of which, in the northwest, there are alien Hulu and demon monks from the Western Regions. It's become more and more outrageous recently.”
Yu Zan: "What the elder said is true. In recent years, news has come back one after another that the demon monks from the Western Regions are entrenched in Sumeru. It is definitely not just a branch of the Karma tribe. The five divisions of the Vajra Realm mentioned in its scriptures should be included.
Judging from the scale of the Karma Division, most of the remaining four divisions are similar to it. In this way, they have become somewhat similar. "
Chao Feng: "Well, especially if they collude with the Hulu, it is indeed not comparable to ordinary scabies. If this dynasty wants to completely put down the Xumi Rebellion, one move will affect the whole body, and careful calculation is required."
The spiritual energy of the world in the Ming Dynasty has been flowing for hundreds of years and has a profound foundation.
The place that affects its power is often internal...
Yu Zan: "The Chief Assistant must have considered everything."
Chao Feng nodded slowly.
Lei Jun, who returned to the Earth Sea, could already feel that the pressure from the Ming Dynasty on the other side of Guizang was obviously beginning to weaken.
I wonder if the other party is well prepared to charge a blow, or is it another traditional show?
Lei Jun ignored it for the time being and just blocked the opportunity for the Ming Dynasty to pass through Guizang.
Little senior sister Tang Xiaotang is still in the world of the foreign khanate. When things there come to an end, Lei Jun will consider taking the initiative to go to the Ming Dynasty world when he has time.
At the moment, the Earthsea, although the dust has not yet completely settled, is basically unable to cause any major disturbances.
Li Bin, the leader of the Juli clan, is trying to avoid Li Tianqing's pursuit by taking advantage of the geographical advantages.
Li Tianqing practices the Wumen Divine Dance lineage. The characteristics of this lineage dictate that it will take some time for him to defeat opponents of the same level.
But once he is completely assured of victory, the opponent will basically be completely defeated. Failure equals death, and there is no chance of escape.
Just like the original Nine-winged Golden Centipede.
Xingfeng is sealing the void portal from Luo Yuan to the Earth Sea.
This trip made Lei Jun know that the new leader of the Blood River Sect after Wei Ancheng was also an unusual person.
Although he is not 100% absolutely free, the other party can enter and exit Luo Yuan alone, coming and going frequently...
The two sides are not enemies at the moment, but Lei Jun doesn't want to know how Xingfeng did it.
His current concern was another matter.
The people of Jiuli have existed since ancient times.
But Lei Jun has always had doubts about the current naming of the Jiuli tribe.
This corresponds to the star names such as Tanlang, Pojun, Jumen, Zuofu, Youbi, etc. From what Lei Jun learned after coming to this world, the history should not be as long as Jiuli itself...
So, when did the names of the Jiuli tribes such as Tanli, Poli, Juli, Fuli, and Bili come into being?
Who named them?
“Heavenly Master.”
In the sea of the earth, Shen Qubing met Lei Jun and introduced to him the woman next to him who was from the Jiuli people: "This is the Li Ying chief of the Wuli clan."
