"The sage knows the way of heaven. Knowing it and doing it is righteousness. Doing it at the right time is virtue."
"Only the way of a gentleman is to seek what is close but to take measures from afar..."
"There are people in heaven, and people have their own differences. If you observe the differences between heaven and man, you will know what to do..."
Milo read the books left by the old Confucians, which described Confucianism and Taoism's concepts of heavenly virtue, knowledge of heaven, and serving heaven.
Similar ideas have never ceased among hundreds of schools of thought. Although Confucianism and Taoism among the hundreds of schools prefer to focus on exploring the order of humanity when it comes to the concept of heaven and man, there are also many discussions on the way of heaven. The Confucian and Taoist views of heaven and man are more about finding solutions to social and life problems in the interaction between heaven and man. From a certain perspective, the book left by the old Confucianism to Milo is a book that can help him sort out his own path and A guide to possible conflicts between humane orders.
"If I had gotten this book earlier, it would have been easier for me to deal with the hundreds of monks. But if I had gotten this book at that time, maybe some of my ideas about heaven and humans would have been influenced by Confucianism and Taoism."
Milo put down the book in his hand, sighed softly, and reached out to recall his avatar.
With the return of [Hundred Scholars], the humane energy gathered in many colleges in Youzhou also flows to Miluo.
If an outsider were to observe the weather of Miluo at this moment, he would definitely find that the aura of Miluo's whole body was intertwined with the three talents of Youzhou's heaven, earth and people. Every move he made was blessed by Youzhou's energy.
"It's almost time."
Milo contacted Wang Ximing.
"It's still some time before the Haihui. Do you plan to return to the sect to practice for a while, or come to Zhenyou City to observe the weather at the frontier, or go to the underworld to sit in charge for a while?"
Regarding Wang Ximing's invitation, Milo was a little tempted at first, but he looked at the book in his hand, recalled his newly mastered human order, and just thought about walking to Bodhi Temple.
Hearing Milo's plan, Wang Ximing frowned slightly: "Go to Bodhi Temple by yourself? That's okay, but if you travel there, you will be pressed for time, so you can only go across Bingzhou, so be careful on the way!"
Hearing this, Milo immediately knew what Wang Ximing asked him to pay attention to. Yongzhou in the west where Bodhi Temple is located is among the twelve states of Hanxia, and Yongzhou is located due west and north, separated from Youzhou, which is close to due north. Bingzhou is the most active place of the Northern Demonic Cult.
It just so happened that Milo had been cultivating for many years and did not have a good relationship with the Northern Demon Sect.
In his early years, when he was touring Yangzhou, he fought against Chen Hai, a true disciple of the Northern Demon Sect. Later, when he went to the north, he was also plotted by Gui Beiming, a monk from the Northern Demon Sect.
The most important thing is that Gui Beiming, who has also practiced Western magic, has an increasingly confusing style and personality. He does not have the style of a senior. When doing things, he never cares about bullying others.
Since he took action against Milo at the beginning, it is hard to say whether he will wait for Milo in Bingzhou now.
However, this trip was Milo's own idea. If Wang Ximing stopped him from going because he was worried that Gui Beiming would take action, it would be equivalent to interfering with Milo's practice. As for Milo's character and path, if he avoids Bingzhou because he is really worried about Gui Beiming taking action, he will definitely be affected.
Therefore, Wang Ximing could only remind Milo to pay more attention.
"Don't worry, Master, I will pay more attention. Besides, I am not the same person as before. If we really fight, he may not be able to defeat me." As he said that, a black and yellow jade wat appeared in Milo's hand, and he gently Waving, causing slight ripples to appear in the surrounding void, he took a step forward, disappeared among the ripples, and appeared dozens of miles away.
In just one day, Milo walked out of Youzhou and came to Bingzhou.
Compared with the water shortage in Youzhou, the situation in Bingzhou is slightly better. Among the four major river systems, the Jinjiang River runs through the three western states. In the west of Yongzhou, the Hun River separates into a tributary and flows directly into Bingzhou, becoming the largest water source in Bingzhou.
The Hun River nourishes the western and central areas of Bingzhou, allowing more than one-third of the land in Bingzhou to survive.
In addition, after the Jinjiang River flows out of Shenzhou, it also branches in Yizhou, enters the eastern part of Yongzhou, and then branches out into some tributaries, flowing into the southern part of Bingzhou, nourishing the life of about one-tenth of the land of Bingzhou.
Generally speaking, Bingzhou is oriented to the northeast, and the area close to Youzhou is still in a state of water shortage. However, the further away from Youzhou, the less the water shortage problem becomes. Although some areas are not directly nourished by the four major river systems. , but also have their own lakes and groundwater systems.
This also led to the fact that after entering Bingzhou, the first thing Milo saw was the Gobi and desert. After walking for half a day, he gradually saw patches of green plants, and the surrounding energy became more and more peaceful.
'Although Bingzhou's vitality is not as cold as Youzhou's, it still contains a little evil energy. Is it because of the influence of the Northern Demonic Cult? '
Milo frowned slightly. As his cultivation improved and the Dharma became more perfect, his perception of the vitality became more and more acute. He could clearly feel that there were some problems with the vitality flowing in the void.
The phantom of the treasure mirror appeared in Milo's pupils. He looked around and found that the abnormal vitality in the void did not originate from the earth's veins, but from some dirty breath flowing between heaven and earth.
'This is……'
Milo followed the odor and found a county town. As soon as he walked in, Milo felt something was wrong. He looked around, but did not find the problem. He was slightly shocked. When he looked down, he saw his own The shadow became dim and turbid, as if something was rolling and changing in it.
I was startled, and just as I was about to retreat, the shadows all around me began to shake at the same time. Whether it was the shadows of trees, the shadows of houses, or the shadows of the people in the county, they all swayed slightly and became muddy.
Layers of shadows intertwined, and under the turbidity emerged countless deep odors, which seduced people's minds and confused their vitality, but had no substance and made it difficult for people to detect.
Facing Milo who wanted to leave, twisted black hands suddenly stretched out among the shadows, trying to stop him from leaving.
A mysterious light appeared under Milo's feet, blocking it, but a black shadow fell on the mysterious light, like a vine in the gutter, growing rapidly, trying to turn against the guest, swallowing up Milo's rationality and morality, and amplifying the darkest part of his heart.
Milo did not dare to be careless, nor did he release many phantoms of gods. He had already seen that the essence of these shadows was the secret magical power of the Northern Demon Sect, "Youtian Secret Treasure Tongxuan Liuhua Cave Weiyin Sutra".
This sutra is specially recorded in the Beichen Immortal Sect. It is said that at the beginning, it was also an advanced method of the Immortal Way. Some of the methods relied on the power of incense and vows, and were even used by many Immortal Way sects to learn. But not wanting to fall into the Northern Demon Sect, some monks from the Northern Demon Sect combined their ideas with the concept of the False Heaven to build an illusory demon kingdom and created an alternative Shinto practice method.
This method does not take people's willpower and incense belief, but relies on the negative emotions of countless people to practice, seize the darkest and most filthy corners of people's hearts, and amplify the paranoia in people's hearts.
The creatures affected by this method may only commit petty theft at first, but the desires in their hearts will become more and more difficult to satisfy. In the later stage, they will murder, rape, and plunder, and they will do anything. And during this process, the endless paranoid desires generated will be induced by the "Youtian Secret Treasure Tongxuan Liuhua Cave Micro Yin Sutra" and turn into the turbid currents of six desires, filling the illusory demon kingdom.
From a certain perspective, this "Dongwei Yin Sutra" is somewhat similar to the purgatory demigods of the ancient northern countries, which use extreme emotions as their own kinetic energy.
However, the power of the purgatory demigods is used to maintain order, while the "Dongweiyin Sutra" uses this power to distort the faith of the righteous gods and even interfere with the Beidou stars.
Therefore, this skill naturally could not be spread in Hanxia. Almost after it flourished for a while, it lost its inheritance and interest due to various accidents.
Unexpectedly, I saw traces of this method again at this moment.
'No, it shouldn't be a skill. This method violates a taboo. Even if the Northern Demon Sect wants to keep it, the Demon-Conquering Lord of the Ten Directions and others will not allow it. It should be that those who practiced this method were sacrificed and turned into treasures. '
Milo looked into the void, directly at the sun, and through the essence of the sun, he saw an illusory mirror full of cracks. It traveled with the sun, affecting this place through the sun, absorbing the seven emotions and six desires of the world.
Seeing this, Milo jumped into the air, stretched out his hand and shot it in the air, intending to knock the mirror down.
Unexpectedly, the mirror hung upside down, the mirror light turned, and a strong man wearing a long robe emerged. He looked at Milo with a strange look on his face: "Dharma Realm monk? Is it a coincidence?"
As he spoke, the man looked around, but didn't notice anything. He reached out and grabbed a copper mace and hit Milo.
At the same time, the man raised his hand and released a ray of magic light. At the same time, the mirror light under his feet turned, and shadows gathered together, blended with the magic light, and turned into a figure appearing in mid-air.
These figures are real figures, their bodies are blurry, like three-dimensional shadows, and their facial features are also there. Although the specific appearance cannot be seen clearly, their expressions are rich and do not seem to be illusions.
"The devil's light is at his will?"
Milo frowned slightly. This mysterious light is a relatively common one among demons. It is not difficult to condense. It is spread among the four major demon sects. However, during the period when the "Dongwei Yin Sutra" appeared, because of the compatibility between the two It has become one of the top mysterious lights in the magic way.
But with the loss of the "Dongwei Yin Sutra", this mysterious light fell back to its original position again.
Seeing the magical light of the demon at this moment, Milo also had some doubts about whether his original guess was correct.
Milo raised his hand and released a wonderful treasured light, forming a barrier in the void, blocking the shadows and the mace from falling. He looked intently, and saw an illusory eight-armed demon appearing behind the man, glaring at him and trying to seduce him. anger.
Milo instantly recognized the origin of this person and couldn't help but whisper in his mouth: "The elder of the Northern Demon Sect Chonglou? So what he holds in his hand is the Nine-turn Turbid Qi Yuan Mace?"
Speaking of which, Chonglou is also a legendary figure in the Northern Demon Sect after Gui Beiming. Although his experience is not as rich as Gui Beiming, he is still considered unique within the Demon Sect.
Its information has also been circulated within the Immortal Path, and some monks even feel sorry for it.
According to Beichen Xianmen's records, Chonglou himself was the last descendant of a military family. He disliked military practice in his early years, so he specialized in literature. However, he didn't expect that during the learning process, Chonglou was plotted by someone, and he unknowingly learned part of the magic method. With the help of a caring person, he accidentally killed someone, was hunted down, and finally had to turn into the magic way and became a demon. He became a disciple of the Northern Demon Cult.
Although everyone involved in framing Zhonglou was punished afterwards, Zhonglou could not turn back and went further and further on the evil path.
But Chonglou’s talent is not actually in the magic way. The Nine-turn Turbid Qi Yuan Mace, which is the companion of his breakthrough to Ningzhen Awakening, can be regarded as a typical type of magic weapon. Secondly, his progress in practicing the magic way is not fast, and his ability to condense mysterious light is not top-notch. Later, The condensed Dharma Appearance has little to do with the magical light of the Heavenly Demon, and is closer to the eight-armed glaring Demon God Appearance of the military strategist.
However, it was later said that Chonglou received some inheritance and successfully broke through the Dharma and entered the realm of Tianyi.
'I originally thought that the breakthrough at Chonglou was caused by some monks from the Northern Demon Sect, who wanted to use him as a model to attract military monks. Now it seems that someone guided him to explore the "Dongwei Yin Sutra", which is so evil. '
Milo couldn't help but feel a little angry.
After all, the "Dongwei Yin Sutra" violates a taboo in the Hanxia cultivation world, and anyone who explores it will be ostracized.
The people of the Northern Demon Sect asked Chonglou to explore and even practice. No matter what the actual thoughts were, there would definitely be disgusting parts.
In other words, the other party was forcing some of the righteous monks in Hanxia to kill Chonglou.
'But why did I meet him by chance? '
Milo was angry in his heart, but he was also surprised why he met the other party.
Speaking of which, the "Dongwei Yin Sutra" distorts the practice concept of Zhengshen belief. From a certain perspective, it is also a relatively restrained companion to Milo.
To put it bluntly, the phantom of the gods condensed by Milo can also be regarded as a way to summon the gods. Once it is eroded by the power of the "Dongwei Yin Sutra", the impact may not be great, but it will inevitably pollute the concept corresponding to the name.
If the source of the relevant shadow is special, it can also play the role of nauseating Milo.
The most important thing is that Miluo just entered Bingzhou and met Chonglou who was obviously avoiding someone. Something seemed wrong.
The Chonglou above obviously had the same thoughts as Milo. He also didn't think that his encounter with Milo was a normal thing. In addition, he was avoiding someone, so he naturally didn't want to communicate with Milo. Seeing Xuan Guang blocking him, he couldn't help but urge him. The Dharma, with its eight arms waving, shakes the vitality. The nine-turn turbid energy is falling, and the turbid evil energy is squeezing the void with illusory shadows.
But the wonderful thing is that under the reflection of the broken mirror, the scope of his actions is limited to ten miles. Outside this range, there will be no trace.
'He is really avoiding someone...'
Milo retreated while driving the mysterious light into the void, shaking the brilliance of the mirror.
