Just when Zhang Xing encountered a difficult incident in Nanya, the eldest daughter of Bai Xianggong, the cursed Bai Hengqiu, returned to the place she was probably most familiar with. Behind Daxing in Xijing, Taibai Mountain was located in the southwest of Wugong County in Guanzhong. Taibai Peak.
The road to Taibaifeng Mountain is bumpy, and the top of the mountain is covered with snow all year round, but Bai Sanniang felt like walking on flat ground throughout the entire journey, and there was no sign of the cold or heat invading her. However, this also shows that she did not use her true energy to fly into the sky after all, but chose to walk up the mountain.
This is the birthplace of Trinity Orthodoxy, the so-called ancestral home of the world's largest religion, and it is also the place where Bai Yousi has been a disciple since he was twelve years old.
Climbing to the top of the mountain easily, the head of the Trinity Orthodox Church and Bai Yousi's mentor, who appears to be ranked third on the Heavenly Ranking today, but is actually probably the number one great master, Taoist Chonghe, is sitting in his little In the large wing of the Taoist temple, Master Qingdi's "Tai Xuan Sutra" was being taught. There were twenty or thirty naughty kids in clean coarse cotton-padded jackets sitting in the room. All of them were twelve or thirteen years old. They were being passed out by the stove. Drowsy.
Bai Yousi said nothing, holding the long sword, and sat on the steps in front of the door. Then, while listening to the lecture behind him, he looked at the open space in front of him. There, there were about the same number of fifteen or sixteen year old boys and girls. , was trying his luck, exercising, Chongmai and Qi pushing and pulling in the cold air, and looked at her curiously from time to time.
Bai Yousi knew that somewhere out of sight, there should be a group of older boys and girls working hard, either fetching water, collecting firewood, or carrying supplies... Of course there is no shortage of money here, but there is no shortage of money. Everyone is equal before the Grand Master, and no one dares not to do these chores that are equivalent to homework.
In fact, these are the main reasons why Miss Bai's life has lasted for seven or eight years since she was twelve years old, and they are also the fundamental reasons why she is completely different from her brothers and sisters.
Just as he was thinking about it, there was a sudden noise behind him, and Bai Yousi came back to his senses. After the teenagers dispersed, he turned around and entered the side room with the stove in hand, carrying the long sword.
I don’t know why, but after coming in, Miss Bai, who was usually a bit aloof, and at least became a bit repulsive after entering the Chengdan realm, suddenly relaxed.
After all, this is the place where she has lived since she was a child, and the person in front of her is the master who may be closer to her than her biological father.
"When the sun loses its brilliance, a gentleman declines..." Chong Hedao is round and fat, wearing a triangular yellow cloth hat with three brilliance hangings on his head, a light yellow cloth coat, leggings, and cloth shoes, as if he didn't see it. It was as if his beloved disciple had come in. Instead, he was holding tea in one hand and casually throwing down a hexagram on the table with the other. "This person is self-reliant."
Bai Yousi tilted his head and took a look, took away a few counters, then sat down cross-legged in front of the opponent, and said directly: "Master, the court wants to build the Three-Hui Golden Pillar and reset the center of the world. Are you The head of the Trinity Orthodox Church is also a great master, why don’t you just say something?”
"Why do you think I'm going to talk to you as a master?" Chonghe took a sip of tea with the Taoist priest and asked back, clasping his hands. "I haven't gone down to Taibai Peak in almost twenty years. I haven't even gone when the saint ascended the throne. Why do I have to go down just to build a pillar?"
"What we are building is the big golden pillar!" Bai Yousi, who was holding the plan, emphasized. "Three Glory Icon."
Chong and Taoist Master nodded, Fu shook his head, and then looked at the sky outside. Bai Yousi looked along and saw only the sun hanging high above.
Turning around, Miss Bai sighed and said seriously: "Master, if you have something to say, could you please stop playing riddles?"
"That's it." Chong and the Taoist priest clasped their hands and responded seriously. "Sisi, you are usually very bad at this kind of homework, so let's take your time... Let me ask you something first. Our Trinity Orthodox Church admires the seven supreme beings, the so-called three radiances and four emperors... The story of the four emperors, The inheritance and the influence on the present world are clearly visible. Even the Trinity Orthodox Church cannot spread in the south, all because of the influence of the Red Emperor Empress... But what about Sanhui? Why does Sanhui have no writings? There is no national tradition. Next? Didn't you interfere with the military, political and folk customs of the world?"
"Because Sanhui is..." Of course Bai Yousi knew what was going on, so he instinctively wanted to answer, but for some reason, when the words came to his mouth, he didn't know what to do.
"Because the Three Brilliances are one day and two months. They are spiritual beings that have existed since the birth of the universe. They have spirit but no wisdom, position but no heart, virtue and no desire. Although they are three shining stars, and although they have immeasurable merit, they are selfless. There are no distracting thoughts, and all things are regarded as one... Then under the three radiances, even the saints are no different from grass, trees, dolphins and dogs..." Taoist priest Chonghe came to look serious. "You, in this situation, what kind of golden pillar did the saint build? What does it have to do with Sanhui?"
Bai Yousi was silent for a while, then shook his head: "But how can I hear it? After the emperor's failure in the Eastern Expedition, Emperor Taizu of the Tang Dynasty established the Trinity Orthodox Church. The purpose was to combine the three radiances with the four emperors. If the three radiances are so devoid of desires and pursuits, what else can they do? How can you combine the Four Imperial Religions? Moreover, the Trinity Orthodox Church has been around for 800 years. Although it is incomparable to the Four Imperial Religions, there have been many manifestations of the Three Glory. How can Master be so free and easy?"
"These are two questions." Daoist Chong He leaned sideways on the desk lazily, holding his chin and continuing to answer his beloved disciple seriously. "The previous question is a very simple magic question, and it is fair and square. There is nothing that should be said to others... To put it bluntly, there is heaven above the Supreme. I don't know what heaven is, and it doesn't include it. Does it include earth? Or whether it is the sky or the earth, I don’t know...but there is no doubt that it exists. Otherwise, where does the vitality of heaven and earth come from? Otherwise, where does the real dragon come from? Otherwise, where does the sky, earth, sun and moon come from? Otherwise, the Qing Emperor sensed it back then. Whose idea was it? Otherwise, who set up the position of the Four Imperial Guards?"
Bai Yousi nodded repeatedly.
"God's will is high and unpredictable, but there are three splendors and four emperors in the world. This is the truth." Taoist priest Chonghe picked up the hot tea, took a sip, and then smiled. "So, the original intention of the Trinity Orthodox Church is that because the four emperors interfere too much in the human world, it wants to win over people's hearts and appeal to God's will, and use God's will to suppress the Supreme Being. However, God's will is unpredictable and we dare not randomly predict it, so we have to fold it in half and use the bright three radiances. Come and combine the four imperial powers... Three-one, three-one, three are the three radiances, but that one does not mean the three radiances merge into one, but the unique one... In this case, it doesn't matter whether the three radiances have desires or not. Because they can respond to heaven above and call upon the world below, they can naturally unite the four emperors."
Bai Yousi smiled half-heartedly: "So Master Sanhui also has desires after all?"
"If it were anyone else, I might not have it, but who makes you the seed of the next generation of our Trinity Orthodox Church?" Chonghe's expression seemed a little sad, and his smile was like a bitter smile. "In the future, when I die, I will still count on you Bai Yousi to support the foundation of the Trinity Orthodox Church. I can't hide it from you. I tell you clearly that since the founding of the Orthodox Church, the Sanhui True Line has gradually had manifestations of saints. There are clues, and they are becoming more and more frequent, but whether these three radiances are the three radiances we think of, whether the manifestation is instinctive or spontaneous, and whether it can represent that one... No one knows. And this is also part of the chaos within the Orthodox Church. People should simply become one with the imperial court, because some people like me are clinging to the ancestral court."
Bai Yousi nodded and asked again: "So, it's obvious why Master doesn't want to pay attention to Da Jinzhu... Master is from the Sanhui Wuyu sect. In this case, what about Da Jinzhu? From Master's point of view It doesn’t matter at all? Doesn’t it matter to the real Sanhui?”
Chonghe hesitated for a moment and answered seriously: "I still don't want to hide it from you... Actually, I don't want to go down and interfere in this matter, mainly because the imperial court has its own Daodefang, and the Daodefang is huge and there are many religious people there. Catering to the court... In your Jing'an Terrace, haven't there always been Taoist cultivators from Daodefang? What's more, although I don't go down the mountain, I can still hear something about this saint's temper from the parents of many people on this mountain. , I really don’t want to cause trouble.”
"So, Master is unwilling to interfere because of people's reasons, right?" Bai Yousi came to his senses completely. "Then my trip was in vain."
"How do you say it?" Taoist Chonghe responded curiously.
"Because His Majesty is wasting people and money, and he is becoming more and more unscrupulous." The female Changjian hesitated for a moment and then confessed frankly. "I want Master to come out and use the Three Glory and the Four Royals to suppress His Majesty... Of course, there is also the reason why this project actually started from my father. Sisi feels a little guilty."
"Be unscrupulous!" Taoist Chonghe was stunned, shook his head and sighed. "Which saint is not unscrupulous? Is the late emperor very good? Emperor Shenwu of the Eastern Qi Dynasty has such a great name, is it very good? What about the crazy descendants of Emperor Shenwu? The rise and fall of things are self-inflicted, why should we think that the Wei Dynasty is Where is the true dynasty that will last forever?”
Bai Yousi was thoughtful, and then asked again: "Master, don't you think that the Wei Dynasty can survive for a long time?"
"I'm timid and don't have anything." Chong He Taoist Master immediately turned his face away.
When Bai Yousi saw this, he didn't say much and simply stood up: "I didn't ask for leave this time. I came here directly with Zhenqi, so I won't stay any longer. But looking at Master like this, it seems that there is no need to show filial piety in front of him..."
"You can control the true energy directly in one breath. Could it be that it has already become an elixir?" Chonghe Taoist priest nodded and asked casually, as if he finally had the attitude of a master.
"Yes." Bai Yousi responded casually.
"What are you visualizing?" the old Taoist continued to ask.
Bai Yousi was startled for a moment, hesitated for a moment, then suddenly sat down again, and then asked seriously: "Master, I met a person... Qi is very strange."
"What a strange method?" The fat old man obviously didn't care. "In fact, Qi itself is very strange, no matter how strange it is, it is not strange."
"It's similar to the private biography of Emperor Taizu of Tang Dynasty after his death." Bai Yousi said carefully. "That's what I saw here, the ability to use multiple kinds of Qi."
Chong He was stunned and remained silent for a long time.
"What?" Bai Yousi also became alert.
"What kind of cultivation level is that person?" Chonghe hesitated for a moment, then slightly clasped his hands on the case.
"Correct Meridian Cultivation..."
"That's outrageous." Chong He stood up suddenly and sighed in the side room with his hands behind his back and shaking his head. "It's too outrageous, but it seems to be the opposite..."
"What's going on?" Bai Yousi seemed a little impatient. "Master, let's not play riddles."
"Then let's not play riddles... I don't know what kind of situation this person is, but the situation of Tang Taizu that day is obviously the appearance of a man fighting for the dragon." Chong He stopped and answered a little irritably. "And he is the person named by the Supreme to fight for the dragon... Because only the Supreme can open this lock that can unify the true energy and transform it into ten thousand... When the ancestor died, the unification of the human race was a foregone conclusion, so the four Supremes each chose They recruited four people to achieve this overall situation... It is no coincidence that the East victorious and established the country, the Wu tribe moved south, and Tang Taizu and Yan Gong fought for dominance in the Central Plains."
Bai Yousi was stunned for a moment. He had so many words in his heart that he wanted to express, but he forced himself to endure it, and then asked, "Is the Wei Dynasty really going to die?"
"Whether the Wei Dynasty dies or not has nothing to do with this." Chong He sighed. "The fate of the Wei Dynasty still depends on whether the current saints can work hard to govern. In fact, when the four emperors competed for the dragon, no Supreme was considered the winner. In this case, it can only be the Supreme who opened the door, and it may not be the Supreme. Fighting for the dragon... Therefore, we can only have at least one supreme king now, and we may think that the Wei Dynasty is going to die..."
Bai Yousi hesitated for a moment.
"I just still don't understand." Chonghe became more and more irritated. "According to the records passed down in the sect and the evidence of Hu Yunjun's real dragon gods, the four supreme beings were greatly injured in the dragon fight that day. This is also the reason why there was less interaction between immortals and mortals in the following eight hundred years... Who is it this time, where does the courage come from, and why...it’s really...God’s will is unpredictable!”
In the end, Chonghe could only look up to the sky and sigh.
Bai Yousi hesitated for a moment and couldn't help but ask: "Master just asked him what he meant by cultivation?"
"Is this person your friend or your opponent?" Chonghe did not answer directly, but turned around and asked a strange question.
"Friends." Bai Yousi said without thinking.
"Let him be careful... Once the court knows about it, and then it reaches the ears of your Zhongcheng, even if it is just for that little taboo, he will definitely die without a burial place... Of course, since it is the supreme method, there are always some tricks and ways. Counting." Chonghe responded with a sigh. "And you have to be prepared to fall out with him."
"What do you mean?" Bai Yousi suddenly froze.
"It doesn't mean anything." Chonghe Nianxu frowned. "It's not as serious and complicated as you think... First of all, at this point, nothing can be done; secondly, if it's really a battle between dragons, he might have opened the lock first because of his low cultivation level. As for those of you with high cultivation level, you have to wait until the situation arises before you open the lock..."
"What do you mean by those of you who are highly cultivated?" Bai Yousi asked solemnly. "I am also a person appointed by the Supreme Being to fight for the dragon."
"You're not, but you might be." Chonghe answered seriously. "At least your father is afraid that you are, otherwise he wouldn't have sent you to the Trinity Orthodox Church because of the Phoenix Fate Theory... He was worried that you were the choice of the Red Emperor Empress, and he felt guilty."
"I am free to decide the fate of my life." Bai Yousi dismissed it. "What is Huang Ming? Even if the Red Emperor Empress comes by herself, I will definitely throw tea in her face!"
"Yes, yes, yes." Chong He grinned. "I also think that this kind of thing shouldn't be taken too seriously. It's just... Anyway, it all depends on man-made things. I think back then, the Tang Taizu and the others had become famous after the death of their ancestors. They wanted to compete with the four supreme beings. It was achieved through conspiracy, and none of the four of them is a fuel-efficient lamp. In the end, they all have a plan with the Supreme Being behind him... There are thousands of words to say, but the Supreme One will also let the mortals separate."
"Can you not think too much?" Bai Yousi sneered. "Moreover, Master, why didn't you take it seriously? If you hadn't taken it seriously, you would have been guarding Taibai Peak for twenty years and then suddenly lost your composure and acted, and your true energy just now leaked out."
"I'm worried about Sanhui and the foundation of our Trinity Orthodox Church." Chong He smiled bitterly. "Just now, since the establishment of the Trinity Orthodox Church, the changes in the Three Glory have gradually become obvious. It is related to the Supreme. The church has been speculating for two hundred years ago, fearing that there will suddenly be a big drama about the return of the Three Glory... Or, if it really happens. When it reaches that point, it might be a catastrophe for heaven and earth. If you think about the chaos when the four supreme beings return to their thrones... then you will be shocked."
Bai You thought about it for a while and said in a sigh: "So, not only is the Wei Dynasty crumbling, and the internal tension is reaching the limit, but also the Supreme Being is actually somewhat unsustainable?"
"I am already a Grand Master. To be honest, the old woman from Lingnan and I, as well as the Grand Governor of Dongyi, have achieved the level of becoming a dragon. To us, the matter of gods and true dragons is no longer a lie. ...But when it comes to the Supreme Being, I am also a little worried." Chong He said seriously. "One is the strange movement of Sanhui, but it is mysterious and mysterious. It is impossible to know it beforehand; the other is Siyu, who is not an ordinary master... When people are in the world, they all fight against the sky and the earth. As a master who fights with dragons, how can he not stop fighting after becoming the Supreme? So, Sisi, when you are walking under the mountain, even if you have a sword in your hand, you must be careful."
Bai Yousi nodded sincerely.
"Get up, is your friend a boy or a girl?" Chonghe suddenly asked again.
The female inspector who was originally very moved was speechless, and her tone of voice became louder: "Master, what do you mean by asking this?"
"I'm just worrying about it...actually, if you're worried that each of you is his own master and there will be unprovoked fights in the future, why not take advantage of the eldest lady of the Bai family and recruit a son-in-law while his cultivation is low?" Chong He said seriously. speak. "If there is no intimacy between them...the husband and wife are one, even the Supreme Being cannot provoke them."
Bai Yousi didn't say a word, just looked at the other party coldly while holding the chips in hand.
"Just a casual comment." Chong He also waved his hand, sat down again, and then took out a small stick-like object from his arms. "this is for you."
Bai Yousi glanced at it and saw that it was a simple wooden "Three Glory Golden Pillar", so he put down his plan and touched it: "Does it have any miraculous effect? Could it be that the Three Glory Appearance gave it to you, old man?"
"It doesn't have any miraculous effect." Chong He replied with a smile. "It's just something I use for my daily homework... If you are willing, you might as well give it to your friend and let him pray with it to see what kind of crooked way it is, or whether the Supreme Being is really manifesting himself in him... You need to know , there are more than just three radiances and four imperial orthodoxies in this world, there may be some evil gods and ghosts wandering from the outside world, your friend is actually a monster."
Bai Yousi threw Jin Zhu down directly.
"It seems the friendship is quite deep." Chong He shook his head and smiled bitterly. "But old man, I am an outsider."
Bai Yousi rolled his eyes and stood up directly: "Master just said that everything depends on people. What he does is very suitable to my taste. If he is evil, then there is no harm in changing the evil way in this world."
"Is that so?" Chong He was slightly startled, but said no more.
"My original intention was to ask Master about the Great Golden Pillar. Master didn't want to move, so the result has been achieved, and there was an unexpected gain. It was not in vain. The disciple left first." Bai Yousi handed over to him. .
Chong He nodded and did not stay with the guest: "We are poor in the mountains, but you have a big appetite, so I won't stay with you."
Bai Yousi didn't bother, went out with his sword in hand, crossed the lively courtyard, hesitated for a moment, but summoned the glowing energy, and with a flash of golden light, he swooped down the mountain in front of a group of junior brothers and sisters who were stunned, and then attracted These junior brothers and sisters rushed out to see the gods.
Only Taoist priest Chong He was still sitting there in a daze. He waited until his beloved disciple disappeared down the mountain, then he lowered his head to look at the calculation chips and golden pillars and wooden sticks on the case, and then said something:
"Diligence leads to success, and it is more than the sky; if it is more than the sky, the sky will help...the sky will help..."
As he looked, the old Taoist couldn't help but stretched out his hands to pick up the "wooden stick and golden pillar", and then closed his eyes to think about it. But just as he closed his eyes, there was a real light left on each one, one was blazing, the other was gentle. , a piece of red, slowly flowing down from the branches representing one day and two months at the top of the golden pillar, but rushing to reach Chong and his hands.
Once it reaches the palm of your hand, the three radiances merge into one, turning into the most common glow color.
But for some reason, Chong He suddenly threw the "golden pillar" on the case again as if he was electrocuted. The deputy quickly picked it up and put it aside carefully.
Then, he raised his head and sighed: "God's will is unpredictable... God's will is unpredictable... but everything depends on man!"
Of course, Bai Yousi didn't know what was going on behind her. She didn't stop for a moment when she dived down Taibai Peak. She just rested for one night in her home outside Daxing City, Xijing, and then spent two more days on a warm day at the end of March. In the evening, we arrived at Dongdu City.
The journey of 800 miles actually took less than three days. If we include the two or three days it took to leave before, the journey of 1,600 miles would only take five or six days.
The speed doesn't matter, it may not be much better than the fast horse relay, but the true energy is so thick that if it spreads out, it will probably make the hearts of experts tremble.
"Zhang Xing, you're not done yet, are you?"
Back in Dongdu, Bai Yousi, who had something on his mind, couldn't wait to go directly to Zhang Xing's home, but found that Zhang Xing was taking the gold from his fish pond. "A bit of gold, over and over again, must I open a flower bed this time?"
Zhang Xing, who was fishing for gold in the fish pond, heard the voice of an old woman, turned around and shook his head: "I don't know where Chang Jian has been having fun these days, how can he know the hard work of us poor people in Dongdu? I’m not going to change the place, but I’m going to use it.”
"Want to buy a house?" Bai Yousi thought thoughtfully. "Your yard is indeed a bit small."
"After signing a three-year lease and paying it off in one go, how can I be willing to move?" Zhang Xing said disapprovingly while rummaging in the mud with his head down. "I am forced to have no choice... The imperial court has issued an order to build a big golden pillar. The whole country must be united. All central ministries and offices, local states and counties, officials and barbarians must donate gold and silver together to build a big golden pillar." The golden pillar... is not on inspection, no one is reimbursing me, and I am a thin-skinned person. Without these, how can I complete the target for Fulongwei for one or two hundred holes?"
Bai Yousi was stunned for a long time, and then he reacted, his voice trembling: "You want to use real gold to repair the gold pillar? How big should it be?"
"That's not the case, but we need to try our best to collect as much gold and silver as possible. At least the three-hui branches on the top, the golden statues of January and February must be made of gold, and the bottom ones must be carved with silver... Then now that the three-hui are there, the four emperors Not less, I also need to get a large gold fan knife or something for the Black Emperor. I don’t know if the Red Emperor Empress will be angry when she sees it... After the completion of the cultivation, everything will be wrapped in silk during the ceremony. Trees, let go of the food and wine, let the whole world celebrate together." Zhang Xing opened his mouth and came with a grin on his face.
"I understand." Bai Yousi came back to his senses. "Is there an official who wants to use this to flatter His Majesty? Is it Zhang Shangshu?"
"It's Mr. Zhang." Zhang Xing corrected it seriously. "For this matter, Zhong Cheng has scolded your father twice in the past few days. He was the one who started it all. Your father knows you are wrong and doesn't dare to reply. You are as honest as anything in Nanya."
"It wastes money and wastes people." Bai Yousi became increasingly uneasy and didn't even bother to pay attention to how his father was being scolded.
"That's right, it's just a waste of money and people." Zhang Xing threw the gold in his hand into the basket held by Yueniang, and replied seriously with his hands full of mud spread out in the fish pond. "Overlapping taxes and severe punishments have made the bottom class enjoy a peaceful and prosperous life in name, but in fact they are only struggling on the line of life and death. Therefore, when the corvee comes, families are ruined; and I have thought about this matter for a long time, and I am afraid it really doesn't matter. It will affect the people at the lowest level, because where can the poor get their money from being squeezed? I am afraid this is a situation that will destroy all middle-class families... Does Chang Jian know? My gold, before I put it in, can be exchanged for more than ten thousand taels of silver. , 20,000 guan, which is a lot of income for your family, and now on the Dongdu black market, it is already worth more than 30,000 guan, and it is still rising!"
Bai Yousi was silent for a long time, then responded slowly: "I will go to see the eldest princess and the queen tomorrow... Your Majesty will not listen to Nan Ya or the emperor's uncle, but that does not necessarily mean he will not listen to the eldest princess and the queen."
Zhang Xing shook his head and asked on the spot: "Do you want to bet? I bet that these two people can't persuade His Majesty. They also bet that the price of gold and silver will continue to rise, go up like crazy, and half of the merchants in Dongdu will go bankrupt."
Bai Yousi didn't dare to answer. He paused for a while and then tried his best to answer: "It depends on people. I'll try it, okay?"
Zhang Xing looked at him in surprise: "Chang Jian just went to take the test. I didn't force Chang Jian to do anything."
Bai Yousi nodded and flew away under Yueniang's curious eyes.
