Yun Zhongzi, the qigong master of "Yuzhu Cave" in Zhongnan Mountain, is one of the few immortals in the world of gods who has an independent moral stance.
Looking back on those days, the three religions jointly signed the "Apotheosis of Gods" for the sake of the struggle for destiny. This was not only a concentrated outbreak of conflicts among the three religions, but also the result of the pressure and compromise exerted by Emperor Haotian on the three religions.
In that battlefield of the Conferred Gods, where the two religions of interpretation and interception were the main ones, although Yun Zhongzi was the one who taught interpretation, he did not simply stand for the interpretation religion or the interception religion, but stood for the moral stance of his own cultivation.
Watch the fortunes of the creatures in the world, cherish the virtue of compassion and good life, take the suffering of the creatures in the world as the standpoint, and abide by the moral code of Qi practitioners not to enter the world of mortals.
Even when it was absolutely necessary, Yun Zhongzi also participated in this catastrophe, but he was as light as a dragonfly touching the water in the Battle of the Gods. After the incident was over, he left the Five Elements without leaving a single leaf.
Even so, his disciple Lei Zhenzi still relied on the merits of the Conferred God War to become one of the few Seven Saints who became a saint in the flesh, and even became one of the Six Emperors, Gouchen Emperor.
Even if he is the most junior person among the Six Imperial Guards, he is still "Emperor Gouchen"!
It can be seen that Yun Zhongzi is the real transcendent immortal under the saint, and the title of "True Immortal of Fortune" is by no means a waste of money.
If he hadn't met him, and even tried the half-finished "Zhoutian Xingdou Formation" in person, and how powerful Yun Zhongzi himself was, Li Zhi wouldn't have believed that this big boss actually came to his "Yingzhou Island" ”.
"Oh, it turns out that you are the emperor of Tang Dynasty, Li Zhi?——"
After hearing Li Zhi announcing his family status and looking at Li Zhi carefully, Yun Zhongzi still couldn't believe it.
Of course, he was able to come to "Yingzhou Island" partly for the sake of Bai Ze, the great sage of the demon clan. The two of them can indeed be considered "young" and have known each other since they were young.
Even if they separated later, they both became the center of attention in their respective fields.
The two of them had made an agreement when they parted, no matter how the years changed in the future, they would never shirk what they asked for when they came to each other.
This kind of promise is a testimony of the friendship between the two when they were young, and it is also an oath left in the face of heaven.
It's a pity that these two people are not easy to get along with. They are powerful people who combine talent, perseverance and luck. They are both arrogant at heart. How can they find each other under ordinary circumstances?
What happened this time was no small matter, at least in the eyes of Demon Saint Bai Ze, it was no less important than when he assisted the second emperor of the Demon Clan to establish the Heavenly Court.
It's just that the demon clan at that time was stronger when it was strong, but unfortunately there were many factions. Even the "Eastern Emperor" Taiyi and the "Demon Emperor" Emperor had various discords.
After all, the interests of such a huge monster clan are not only for the two brothers, but also for thousands of monster clans. Behind the two of them, there are also the support of countless heroes of the monster clan.
Although Bai Ze is the leader of the ten demon saints and the most respected wise man of the demon clan, he is unable to integrate the power of all the demon clan.
At the final moment when the demon clan's heavenly kingdom perished, Bai Ze was really disheartened. Later, after staying on "Yingzhou Island" for many years, it was not necessarily as simple as wanting to live in seclusion, but more of a feeling of powerlessness.
In other words, as a wise advisor but unable to find anyone who can truly assist him, Bai Ze is a useless hero!
Since meeting Li Zhi, the initial acquaintance was not so much a kind of fate, but rather a result of Bai Ze's unilateral obsession, or perhaps someone with great supernatural powers was really controlling everything.
Later, Li Zhi's unlucky luck, Li Zhi's maverick approach, and Li Zhi's rapid rise all shocked the knowledgeable Bai Ze.
When Li Zhi showed off the "God-killing Spear" and the "Twelfth-grade Purifying White Lotus" respectively, Bai Ze had completely classified Li Zhi at the same level as the second emperor of the demon clan back then, and was even more hopeful than those two.
With the appearance of the "Zhou Tian Xing Dou Grand Formation", Bai Ze seemed to see a feasible future. What's more, Li Zhi also had the opportunity to become the emperor of the human race.
After experiencing so many things, Bai Ze understood a truth. Compared with strength, invisible and intangible luck is often the most critical factor in determining success or failure.
Therefore, a generation
Bai Ze, the great sage of the demon clan, became Li Zhi's vassal with all his heart, working conscientiously to manage and protect "Yingzhou Island" for him, instead of considering Li Zhi as the successor or replacement of "East Emperor" Taiyi. .
When Li Zhi mentioned that he wanted to refine the star flags needed for the "Zhou Tian Xing Dou Grand Formation", the first thing Bai Ze thought of was Yun Zhongzi, the weapon-refining madman. Yun Zhongzi was not only a rare weapon-refining master. , and he is Bai Ze’s best friend.
Bai Ze's conjecture was not wrong. Yun Zhongzi's previous life was none other than Patriarch Hongyun, the most good man in the world, or he himself was the remnant soul of Patriarch Hongyun who left behind in the world.
In front of Yun Zhongzi, Bai Ze praised Li Zhi directly from the ground to the sky, and even brought out the promise they made to each other many years ago. To Yun Zhongzi, Bai Ze seemed determined to win.
Yun Zhongzi, on the other hand, has a weak nature, which can be seen from his unwillingness to participate too much in the matter of conferring gods.
However, facing Bai Ze, one of the few close friends of his, Yun Zhongzi could not directly refute the opponent's face. Seeing this situation, Bai Ze directly showed part of the "Zhoutian Xingdou Formation" to Yun Zhongzi array diagram.
For such an ancient formation, anyone who has some knowledge in this area will find it difficult to resist its temptation.
As expected, even a person like Yun Zhongzi, who is indifferent to fame and wealth, is not exempt from vulgarity.
"Old man, this Lord has another identity. I'm afraid you may not know it even if you stay in the mountains all day."
Seeing that Yun Zhongzi was a little moved, Bai Ze decided to add more exciting ingredients.
"Oh, in addition to what you just said, he is the husband-in-law of the Three Holy Mothers Yang Chan. Now he has the foundation of Yingzhou Island, and may inherit the position of the king of the Tang Dynasty. Furthermore, he has more power than the Great Witch. Besides having a strong body and being the descendant of Emperor Xuanyuan Huangdi, does he have any other identity?"
Yun Zhongzi finally convinced his old friend, and in just a short time, he explained all Li Zhi's identities that he could show off, just to get him to help.
Of course, Li Zhi did not obtain Li Zhi's consent for having a rare treasure. Even to a close friend like Yun Zhongzi, Bai Ze did not intend to fully inform him.
"Old man, you must know the origin of your identity better than me, right? Although it is the origin of your past life, it is always a cause and effect that must be faced."
"When it comes to identity, a monster like me, Bai Ze, cannot compare to your former identity, and only that powerful one can be considered your loyal friend."
"What I want to say is that my lord and your loyal friend are also sworn brothers who have sworn to the Tiandao Alliance. If we add this relationship..."
There is no need for a heavy hammer to play a drum, but today when facing the drum called Yun Zhongzi, Bai Ze used a heavy hammer.
"Well, in that case, I will go with you. However, I have something to say first. We are going to Yingzhou Island. I will only be responsible for refining the Star Flag for you. It is better not to interfere with other matters. .”
After thinking for a long time, Yun Zhongzi finally agreed. Not only that, but he also gave away all his life treasure.
After listening to Bai Ze talk about how good Li Zhi was for a long time, but he didn't mention a word about the materials needed to refine the Star Flag, he understood that this old friend of his was probably trying to get away with nothing from him.
However, for such a "trivial matter", people like Yun Zhongzi will naturally not care about Bai Ze and can come to help. Compared with this massive amount of refining materials, isn't it obvious which one is more important?
It's a pity that Yun Zhongzi is first-class in terms of cultivation and virtue, but he is slightly inferior to Bai Ze in terms of intelligence.
In other words, Yun Zhongzi, the Immortal of Merit, never thought that Bai Ze, an old friend, would "calculate" against him.
As soon as he arrived at "Yingzhou Island", Bai Ze disclosed all the secrets on "Yingzhou Island" to Yun Zhongzi, including Bai Ze's supervision of the demons practicing "Physical Art" and "Heart Dao", including "Yingzhou Island" "The "Miluo Phantom Array" deployed by the big boss.
As we had agreed before, we just wanted Yun Zhongzi to practice it
To make the star flags, Bai Ze first made Yun Zhongzi fully familiar with the many details and functions of the "Sky Star Formation" in order to better refine the star flags.
When he was in the "Yuzhu Cave", Bai Ze only showed the tip of the iceberg of the "Zhoutian Xingdou Formation", which made Yun Zhongzi want to stop. When he saw the original "Zhoutian Xingdou Formation" diagram, how could he still control it? Can you control yourself?
"Bai Ze, you...are you trying to fall into poverty and injustice?"
After Yun Zhongzi had browsed through more than half of it, he suddenly realized how he could browse such a precious "Zhoutian Xingdou Formation" array so unscrupulously.
"What are you talking about, old fellow? I invite you to refine the star flags needed for the Zhoutian Star Formation. Of course, you must fully understand this formation."
"Otherwise, if you don't know the structure, details, and efficacy of the formation, will the star banners refined like that really be useful?"
"Besides, this is also the intention of my master. As a subordinate, I naturally obey orders. Everything is to create the best Zhoutian Xingdou Formation. Old man, please spend more time and study carefully. Let’s do it.”
After finishing speaking, Bai Ze turned around and left. Only Yun Zhongzi himself was left in the secret room, and the "Zhoutian Xingdou Formation" formation diagram on the table.
...
"I have long heard of the name of Taoist Master Yunzhongzi, but I am not blessed enough to have the opportunity to listen to his teachings."
"Fortunately, Ze Lao mentioned it a few years ago that you and Ze Lao are close friends. The art of refining weapons is rare in the world. Seeing the Zhou Tianxing Formation that is beginning to take shape now, Ze Lao sincerely will not deceive me—— "
He knows his own family's financial situation best. Li Zhi also has an idea in his mind about what is on "Yingzhou Island" and how much Bai Ze can take out.
And with the current scale and power of the "Zhoutian Xingdou Formation", Li Zhi knew that it must be Taoist Master Yun Zhongzi who "supplied" it himself.
Therefore, being polite to others not only shows respect, but also expresses gratitude.
"The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty does not need to be so polite, and Pindao did not expect that even though my old friend has praised the Emperor of Tang Dynasty to no end, Pindao feels that he has not praised enough -"
Yun Zhongzi's eyes kept rolling around Li Zhi. He couldn't understand why this person turned out to be a person without a previous life.
There are only three possibilities for such a fate. One is that his past life was so unnatural that a "quasi-sage" like himself could not detect it through the "Law of Reincarnation".
One is that his past life was completely blocked by a certain powerful person. If this is the case, then it must be a "saint" who took action, otherwise it would be impossible for even a "quasi-sage" like him to hide it. .
As for the third type, Yun Zhongzi is not very inclined, because this situation is too illusory. At least people at his level have never heard of it, let alone seen it. Everything only exists in the realm of "possibility". ” among.
That is the so-called "visitor from outer space". Unless Li Zhi does not originally belong to this world, then his "Law of Reincarnation" will naturally not take effect on Li Zhi.
But, will such a thing really happen?
A few years ago, when Bai Ze and Li Zhi separated, Li Zhi's cultivation was still at the peak of "Taiyi Golden Immortal", and his physical body was only the body of "Pseudo Ancestral Witch".
Compared with the current Li Zhi, he is not on the same level at all. Therefore, even if Bai Ze continues to praise Li Zhi, he must be sure of his "degree", right?
They are all respectable people. Even if you want to ask Yun Zhongzi to help, you can exaggerate appropriately, but bragging without any margin is not advisable.
Then again, Bai Ze is wise, but he can't predict the future. Who could have predicted a few years ago that Li Zhi's combat power today is no less than an ordinary "quasi-sage" who can kill a corpse. ?
"Taoist Master Yun Zhongzi has given me too much praise. In the face of your law of reincarnation, I am still far behind. I hope you can give me more advice when I have time in the future..."
I said the polite words several times, but no one thought it was right.
What do you mean? Bai Ze hurriedly sent Li Zhi to the "Temple" to let him go.
Compared to a few years ago, the appearance of "Yingzhou Island" at this time has been greatly changed. It is a patchwork of red walls and yellow tiles. It is not a desert island cave, but it is clearly a large palace with terraces.
"My lord——"
"My lord——"
During this process, White Crane and Black Stork also came over to pay tribute. After hearing the news, Li Zhi's two clones, Mo Wen and Chun Wu, and Xue Qian followed behind them.
After not seeing each other for several years, the cultivation of these three people has also improved greatly, especially the two clones of Li Zhi. They have the characteristics of one person practicing and two people sharing. Such a natural cheating method is naturally not comparable to others.
Coupled with the unique location of "Yingzhou Island", these two people have both advanced to the early stage of "Taiyi Golden Immortal".
However, when they were practicing the "Physical Technique" and "Heart Dao" skills taught by Li Zhi, the two people had differences. Mo Wen was better at practicing "Heart Dao" and had achieved success in just a few years. Chun Wu, on the other hand, prefers "Ti Jue".
"Where's Taoist Master Sun? Why don't you come out to greet me when I'm here? Haha——"
Naturally, he was overjoyed to meet old friends again, especially meeting his two clones. With just one eye contact, Li Zhi learned about what they had experienced in the past few years.
Of course, among all the people, the unknown Sun Simiao was one of the first people Li Zhi met in the world.
The words he asked Sun Simiao to come out to greet him were naturally not blaming the other party, but just an expression of intimacy.
"My lord, Master Sun has gone to the back of Yingzhou Island, saying that it is possible to find the rare medicinal materials he needs. You don't know that the old man has become more and more arrogant in recent years..."
They are all grown men, so naturally it is not easy for them to stand up and complain about Sun Simiao, but the only woman Xue Qian naturally has no shirk in the responsibility.
When Li Zhi sent her to "Yingzhou Island", he asked her to be the housekeeper. Although there are no female relatives living there yet, Li Zhi had to get someone to prepare the front line first.
Compared with this "Yingzhou Island", the palace in Chang'an may have been occupied by the emperor for decades or even hundreds of years. However, if he and all his wives, children, and children really lived in Chang'an City for thousands or tens of thousands of years, it would not be possible for them to live there. What impact would knowing it have on the entire human race?
There are many human beings, and ordinary people are the largest group. Birth, old age, illness and death are the normal forms of an ordinary person. Can it really be possible for everyone to live forever?
After passing through layers of courtyards and buildings, the group finally came to a place that Li Zhi was familiar with - the "Temple". There were so many new buildings, many of which were still waiting for Li Zhi to name them. And this "Temple" It has become the main hall in many buildings.
"Is this 'temple' the same palace as before?"
Under the "Golden Eyes that Break the Illusion", Li Zhi noticed something was wrong at a glance.
"Haha, my lord is worthy of having magical powers like the 'Broken Golden Eyes'. Although the appearance of this temple looks the same as before, it has actually been refined again by Lao Chan and Taoist Master Yun Zhongzi."
"Except for the slightly inferior materials used in this temple, there is absolutely no fault in its other functions."
"I invited this old guy here. He has spent half of his time in this temple in the past few years. It's a pity. It would be nice if there were some Nine Heavens Breathing Soil and Three Lights Divine Water."
Sure enough, as Li Zhi expected, as soon as he entered this "temple", he found that the concentration of spiritual energy here was more than ten times higher than outside. Even compared with his sea of consciousness, it was not much better. .
Only Li Zhi, Bai Ze and Yun Zhongzi entered the "Temple", while Mo Wen, Chun Wu, Xue Qian, Bai He, Black Stork and others automatically stayed outside the "Temple".
"Taoist Yun Zhongzi, the request I made just now is not false. If you are willing to stay on this island forever, I am willing to treat you as an elder——"
After the three of them sat down, Li Zhi took the initiative to speak.
"Um... I wonder what Emperor Tang's ambitions are?"
Okay, here comes the meat show.
Yun Zhongzi didn't reject Li Zhi directly, and he didn't even say a polite refusal. He asked Li Zhi what his ambition was.
If we really chat like this, then Li Zhi is too familiar with it.
"People say that there are three realms: heaven, earth, and man. Nowadays, the human race is the master of the fate of the three realms. However, the monarch of the human race can only be called 'the emperor?'"
"Although I am young and have little knowledge, I have heard that the Human Emperor existed in ancient times, and by chance, I inherited the mantle of the Human Emperor Xuanyuan Huangdi."
"Nowadays, the demons are raging across the three realms and four major continents. I have been to the demon world for personal matters, and I have fought several demon protectors and won."
"At the top of Chang'an City, the demon clan's attacks were repeatedly defeated, and the demon clan was eventually uprooted from the territory of the Tang Dynasty. Perhaps it is not easy to find a demon clan in the entire Nanzhan Continent at this time."
"When we were in Heaven, I and my subordinates also participated in the battle to kill demons. Although we were not able to do our best, we still left the demons injured."
"What I want to say is that in the face of the demons invading the three realms, I and my human race can do more. Of course, I hope that the human race can get more respect and status-"
This is the "Temple", this is "Yingzhou Island", and this is Li Zhi's territory.
At this time, Li Zhi seemed to be not only answering the questions raised by Yun Zhongzi, but also expressing his dissatisfaction for many years on behalf of himself and the entire human race.
Why do humans have to believe in such sects and beliefs?
Why, when all kinds of gods fight, most of the people who suffer in the end are humans?
Why, whenever there is a dispute over fate, whether it is killing or meritorious deeds, the human race should be used to make the fuss?
Why is it that after the human race finally gave birth to three Holy Emperors, they were placed under house arrest in the "Fire Cloud Cave" without dignity?
Why can the monarch of the human race be called "Son of Heaven" instead of "Human Emperor"?
...
Frankly speaking, of these three people in the "Temple", Li Zhi is a human race through and through, whether in this world or in the future generations in his memory.
But Bai Ze is the great sage of the demon clan. As for Yun Zhongzi, who is he?
If we start from his origin, it is the first red cloud in the world. It is said to be one of the three thousand demon gods in the world. Even if we use the term red cloud incarnation, it can barely be classified as a demon clan.
After all, neither of them are human beings, and Yun Zhongzi in this life is even more famous as a True Immortal of Fortune. If Li Zhi wants to completely convince Yun Zhongzi, he must not only show his "ambition" appropriately. , but also to show one's own strength.
"Okay, Pindao will temporarily agree to Emperor Tang's stay on Yingzhou Island. Anyway, there are a lot of star flags needed for this Zhoutian Starry Formation. It will probably take ten years to complete it."
"Within ten years, if Emperor Tang can become the Lord of Nanzhan Continent, Pindao promises Emperor Tang that Yun Zhongzi will seek the position of guest minister on Yingzhou Island for the rest of his life."
Yun Zhongzi still agreed to Li Zhi, but this "promise", the three people in the "Temple" understood clearly that it was a "promise" with conditions and restrictions.
One requires Li Zhi to become the master of "Nanzhan Continent" within ten years. Is it so easy to become the master of a continent?
Don’t you see, how many years have passed? Which of the four major continents has its own overlord?
Even the Great Immortal Zhenyuan, who is known as the "Ancestor of the Earth Immortals", is only one of one-third of the world in Xiniu Hezhou. Xiniu Hezhou is more within the sphere of influence of Xitian Lingshan, followed by large and small monsters. clan.
Of course, in today's Xiniu Hezhou, Zhen Yuanzi can only protect the safety of his "Wuzhuang Temple" for thousands of miles in Wanshou Mountain. As for other places, it has long fallen into the hands of the demons.
and
In this "promise", the three words "Yun Zhongzi" were emphasized.
This meaning couldn't be clearer. If this Taoist is still "Yun Zhongzi", he will naturally follow his words and become a guest of "Yingzhou Island", which can be regarded as serving Li Zhi.
What if "cloud neutrons" are no longer "cloud neutrons"?
"Hahaha, I'm happy. What the Taoist said is reasonable and reasonable. I naturally have no reason to object. Although the ten-year agreement is a bit harsh, the current rampage of demons may be my best opportunity."
Li Zhi thought about what conditions Yun Zhongzi might have, but he didn't expect that he would make such a request.
Fortunately, he has already made arrangements for the entire "Nanzhan Continent" to eliminate demons. Several armies and a group of elite soldiers have already set off. If combined with the requirements of this "Lord of the Nanzhan Continent", it is nothing more than Just fuss over the details.
For Li Zhi, this request is not an extravagant wish. The only difficulty may be the issue of time.
"Since Emperor Tang has agreed, Pindao will go out to work. By the way, there are not enough materials for refining the Star Flags. The list of requirements is in Bai Ze's place. It would be better for Emperor Tang to solve it as soon as possible——"
Yun Zhongzi had long expected that Li Zhi would agree to his "promise", so he said the words lightly and turned around and left the "temple".
"Hahaha, this old guy Bai has become the master of Shang'zhongye."
As soon as Yun Zhongzi left, Bai Ze couldn't hold it back any longer and laughed "haha". Unexpectedly, at this time, there was also an intriguing smile on the corner of Yun Zhongzi's mouth...
