Looking south to Buzhou, in the Tang Dynasty, a mighty peasant uprising was in full swing. Heroes from all walks of life used various methods to recruit troops, add troops and armor, and communicated enthusiastically with officers and soldiers from various places. cocoon
If there is one place in the world of Jamfu that is most chaotic now, it is undoubtedly the Tang Dynasty.
On the Tiefuling Mountains in the Tang Dynasty, there was a huge manor. This was a family of cultivators who had just moved from the lower world to the great world of Jamfu.
The patriarch of this family is a golden immortal named "Yuan Fengtai".
Yuan Fengtai converted to Buddhism, but he did not take his family to Hezhou, Xiniu, but to Nanzhanbuzhou.
In fact, Yuan Fengtai did not completely convert to Buddhism, but it was equivalent to worshiping a mountain gate in Buddhism. From now on, the family will worship Buddha and Bodhisattva and believe in Buddhism.
Of course, every time a certain period of time comes, the Yuan family will send its outstanding children to Xiniu Hezhou to become a monk and truly convert to Buddhism and become Buddhist disciples.
Yuan Fengtai had three sons and four daughters. Among them, the eldest son and second son were both legitimate children, while the third son and four daughters were all concubine children. cocoon
So as soon as he entered the great world of Jamfu and took root in Nanzhanbuzhou, the first thing Yuan Fengtai had to do was to send a disciple of the Yuan family to Xiniuhezhou to worship Buddhism.
However, Yuan Fengtai searched among the clan and found that there were only three Yuan children with the best qualifications, namely his three sons.
The eldest son Yuan Keying, the second son Yuan Kelai, and the third son Yuan Kequ. Among these three sons, the eldest son Yuan Keying is his eldest son, and the second son Yuan Kelai is the most qualified among his three sons. At the same time, the eldest son He and his second son were both born to his first wife.
Only the third son, Yuan Kequ, was neither born by his wife nor the one with the best qualifications. Therefore, after discussion with his wife "Wan Yingshuang", Yuan Fengtai decided to send Yuan Kequ to Xiniu Hezhou to become a monk.
"You can go, the family has decided to send you to become a monk at the Bodhi Temple in Hezhou, Xiniu." Yuan Fengtai looked at Yuan Ke who was sitting with His Highness and said, "This is an opportunity to become a disciple of the great Buddhist religion. You must seize it."
Yuan Keying and Yuan Keyai looked at each other, then lowered their heads and fell silent. The other daughters of Yuan Fengtai did not dare to speak and just sat there quietly.
But Yuan Kequ's face turned red instantly. He immediately stood up and said, "Father, there are so many disciples in the clan, and their qualifications are no worse than that of the child. The child wants to stay in the clan and contribute, and does not want to become a disciple of the great religion."
"Asshole." Wan Yingshuang said sternly: "When did it become your turn to refute your father's decision?"
Yuan Kelai also said: "Third brother, Buddhism is a big religion. You will definitely get ahead after you go there. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."
Yuan Ke went and said, "Since my second brother said it so well, why don't you go? I still want to stay in the clan to take care of my mother. I don't want to cut off the mortal world and become a monk."
"You!!!" Yuan Kelai choked, and was speechless, his face turned pale.
But the eldest brother Yuan Keying said at this time: "Third brother, you went to Buddhism and practiced the Dharma. You can come back to visit your aunt in the future."
But Yuan Keying had made up his mind. He bowed his hands to Yuan Keying and said, "Father, I don't want to go to Buddhism. Please choose someone else to go."
As soon as Yuan Keqi finished speaking, he saw Yuan Fengtai raising his hand, grabbing a tea cup and throwing it out. Then there was only a "bang" sound, and the tea cup hit Yuan Keqi's forehead with great accuracy and broke into pieces. When he opened it, the tea leaves and tea soup inside immediately splashed all over Yuan Kequ's face. cocoon
Yuan Ke was stunned, and everyone present was stunned. They turned to look at Yuan Fengtai, and saw Yuan Fengtai stood up with a cold face and said to Yuan Ke, "You must go!"
"I gave birth to you, and the Yuan family raised you. Now the family has just converted to Buddhism and entered the great world of Jambudvipa, establishing a foothold in Nanzhanbuzhou. Now it is your turn to repay the family. You have to go even if you don't want to go." Yuan Fengtai said. Wan snorted coldly, turned around and left.
Wan Yingshuang also followed Yuan Fengtai and left. Yuan Keying and Yuan Kelai shook their heads, then got up and left the hall.
Only those few girls finally stood up and gathered around Yuan Ke to comfort him after seeing everyone leave.
"Third brother, we are all concubines, and some of our destinies are predetermined by nature."
"Yes, third brother, you should obey your father's arrangements."
"Third brother, there is nothing wrong with joining Buddhism. I heard that Buddhism is a major religion in the world of Jambudvipa."
Hearing the comfort from the little girls around him, Yuan Ke wiped the tea soup off his face, and then said in a gentle tone: "Young girls, there is no need to comfort me. I will not go to Buddhism. At worst, I will take my mother and leave the Yuan family. I Don’t go to Buddhism to cut off the worldly world and become a monk!”
After saying that, Yuan Kequ turned around and left. The girls stared at Yuan Kequ's back blankly, and then looked at each other worriedly.
No one noticed that a maid in the corner of the hall also turned and left at this moment.
"What?!" In the monastery, when Yuan Fengtai heard Wan Yingshuang's words, he stood up with anger on his face: "Did he really say that?"
Wan Yingshuang said: "Would I still lie to you, Master? Cai'er heard this with her own ears."
The maid on the side quickly replied: "Patriarch, it is absolutely true, the third young master indeed said so."
"Humph!" After hearing this, Yuan Fengtai became furious and threw the jade slip in his hand to the ground. cocoon
Upon seeing this, Wan Yingshuang immediately said to the maid Cai'er, "You go out first."
"Yes, madam." The maid Cai'er immediately took the order and left the monastery.
Yuan Fengtai's eyes grew colder. He looked at a withered yellow leaf that had fallen in the autumn wind outside the monastery, and said coldly: "He doesn't want to cut off the mortal world? Then let the family do it for him!"
"Call the fifth elder to come over." Yuan Fengtai said to Wan Yingshuang.
Wan Yingshuang responded immediately, then walked out of the monastery and sent a message. After the message was sent, Wan Yingshuang showed a smile on her face.
After Yuan Ke left the family hall, he walked back full of thoughts. His residence was close to his mother's residence. His mother was Yuan Fengtai's concubine and had been deeply loved by Yuan Fengtai for a long time. His love even overwhelmed Wan Yingshuang for a time.
This also caused the two of them to always be hated by Wan Yingshuang, and they would take revenge whenever there was an opportunity. cocoon
Yuan Ke walked very slowly. He was worried about what happened today. However, as long as you are unhappy, you can walk around outside and look at the scenery, and the depression in your heart will gradually dissipate.
The same goes for Yuan Ke. He wandered outside for a full half an hour before going back.
But as soon as he took a few steps back, he saw a figure approaching with an anxious face.
"Third brother, it's not good." The person who came was a child of the Yuan family who was in the Yangshen realm. Yuan Ke went to recognize him. He was the fourth son of the second elder, and he usually had a good relationship with him.
Yuan Kequ frowned and asked, "Keping, don't worry, what happened?"
Yuan Keping was sweating profusely and said, "Auntie, something happened to auntie."
"What?!" Yuan Ke was shocked when he heard this, "Who? Who is in trouble?"
"Auntie, this is your mother! She was injured by the real demon that sneaked into the clan." Yuan Keping said: "Third brother, go and have a look."
The moment Yuan Ke went to hear these words, he felt a thunderbolt sound in his mind. He pushed Yuan Keping away and ran towards his mother's residence.
When Yuan Ke rushed back to his mother's residence and opened the door of his mother's bedroom, he found that his father Yuan Fengtai, fifth elder Yuan Fengting, and all the uncles and aunts who had good relations with his mother were here.
Yuan Ke went forward and everyone moved out of the way. When Yuan Ke went to his mother's couch, he only saw his mother lying quietly on the wooden couch, her face was peaceful and peaceful, but she was lifeless. .
"A real demon broke into the clan and killed your mother." Yuan Fengtai stood aside and said, "But the fifth elder and I have killed it and avenged your mother."
Yuan Fengtai's tone was not emotionless. Yuan Ke went to hear a hint of pity in it... Yes, it was a pity. His mother was very beautiful and had a gentle and virtuous personality. It would certainly be a pity for Yuan Fengtai to die like this.
Yuan Ke stood there blankly and looked at his mother's face.
Corpse, he couldn't feel anyone or any sound around him at this moment, as if he and his dead mother were the only ones left in the world. cocoon
The world is pale and dead.
...
In the blink of an eye, three days later, Yuan Ke was standing on the top of a mountain wearing white mourning clothes. Behind him was his eldest brother Yuan Keying.
"Third brother, my condolences. My father has decided to send you to Hezhou, Xiniu, in ten days. Remember to go to the family hall to discuss matters in nine days. Don't forget it." Yuan Keying said lightly, then turned and left.
Shortly after Yuan Keying left, Yuan Keyang moved his eyes slightly and looked to the right front, but there was only a piece of air there.
But just a moment later, a mysterious figure wearing a light gray Taoist robe slowly appeared. This figure looked very tall, but he wore a plain gauze hat on his head, completely covering his head.
"How about it? Just one hundred and fifty calamity jade." The mysterious man's tone was full of temptation. cocoon
Yuan Ke went and said, "I need to confirm whether I can kill the Golden Immortal. I will kill him with one strike."
The mysterious man said: "What kind of body is this golden immortal you want to kill?"
"Iron bones." Yuan Ke said.
The mysterious man pondered for a moment and said: "Yes, but if he has body-protecting fairy light outside his body, it may be a bit difficult. After all, he is a golden fairy, and this magical weapon of mine is just a replica, and its power is twice as powerful as the original. .”
Yuan Ke went and asked: "Then how can we get the original version? How many tribulation jade?"
The mysterious man said: "You can't get it. Even if you get it, not only you will be found out, but your entire Yuan family will be wiped out in an instant."
Yuan Kequ's eyes lit up and he said, "I'm very interested in this matter."
"I advise you not to be interested." The mysterious man said: "Don't say it's you, even the golden immortal you want to kill can't get the original version of this magic weapon. Well, I don't have that much free time with you. Tell me, do you want this?"
Yuan Ke went and said, "I want it, I want two pieces."
"Two pieces, three hundred calamity jade." The mysterious man said.
Yuan Ke went to take out three hundred tribulation jades very simply, and then the mysterious man also handed him two precious gun weapons.
"Pay one hand with the money and deliver the goods with the other. The deal is done." The mysterious man said, "Farewell."
"Wait a minute." Yuan Ke immediately stopped the mysterious man and asked, "I would like to ask senior, what is the success rate of this magical weapon in killing a golden immortal?"
The mysterious man said calmly: "50%, it depends on your luck. Of course, it also depends on his luck. As long as his body-protecting fairy light appears even slightly, you will not be able to kill a golden immortal."
Yuan Ke went and said: "That means that this magic weapon cannot allow me to kill a golden immortal 100%?"
"Yes, so you have to think carefully and be fully prepared before taking action. Of course, you can change the target, such as a Taiyi Xuanxian or a Xuanxian." After finishing speaking, the mysterious man turned around and stepped out, disappearing instantly. In the sky full of clouds and mist.
Yuan Ke looked at the direction where the mysterious man disappeared, then looked at the two magic weapons in his hands, and then fell into deep thought.
Time passed day by day, and five days later, Yuan Ke was walking on the gravel path of the courtyard in plain clothes with a calm face. Suddenly, he felt a change of energy above his head, and he immediately raised his head to the sky. Look.
I saw that the Yuan family's mountain-protecting formation covering the entire Tiefuling Mountains suddenly shrank inward by a large circle, shrinking directly to the mountain gate station where the Yuan family was located. The formation screen seemed as close as in front of my eyes. .
"Third brother." At this moment, a clear voice sounded. Yuan Ke turned around and saw Yuan Keping walking over quickly.
Yuan Keping looked at Yuan Kequ's expression. He was stunned for a moment, and then comforted him: "Third brother, the deceased is gone. Don't be too sad. Please bear with me."
Yuan Ke nodded casually, then looked at the mountain-protecting formation above his head and asked, "What's going on?"
Yuan Keping raised his head and glanced, and then said: "Oh, this is the clan leader and several elders shrinking our Tiefuling mountain protection formation. The clan leader
I received the edict from Nantian Mansion, saying that an immortal official from Taixuan Capital Province will come here tomorrow morning to inspect the performance of the immortal official from Nanzhan Buzhou, so the formation must be withdrawn in advance to avoid colliding with this immortal official. . Also, tomorrow the clan leader and several elders will go to the mountain gate to greet the immortal official. They have also issued a notice. If any of the clan members want to greet him together, they should wait in front of the mountain gate at 00:00 tomorrow morning. "
Although they have just arrived in the world of Jambudvipa not long ago, they still know a little bit about the Heavenly Court. In short, just remember that these immortal officials cannot be messed with.
Yuan Ke went to think that this matter had nothing to do with him, but suddenly his mind brightened, and he immediately asked Yuan Keping: "Then do you know the Taoism of this immortal official?"
Yuan Keping was slightly stunned. He didn't understand why Yuan Ke asked about this matter. "This...I don't know this. How about I go and find out for you?"
"Okay." Yuan Ke nodded and said, "Then I'll bother you."
"Hey, it's a trivial matter." Yuan Keping waved his hand, chatted with Yuan Ke for a few more words, and then left. cocoon
Soon after, Yuan Keping came back and regretfully told Yuan Ke that he had not found out what the immortal official's behavior was.
Yuan Ke didn't care. He had already decided to "greet" the immortal official tomorrow.
...
There was no words all night, and in the blink of an eye it was the second morning. Yuan Ke went to the gate of Tiefuling Mountain early in the morning.
However, they found that Yuan Keying, Yuan Kelai and the children of several elders in the clan had already arrived. Everyone was a little surprised to see Yuan Ke go, but Yuan Ke went to stand aside away from everyone, so they gave up the fight. Yuan Ke wanted to say hello.
At Mao hour, Yuan Fengtai brought Wan Yingshuang and the five elders and wives of the clan to the mountain gate. Everyone immediately saluted Yuan Fengtai and the five elders, and Yuan Kequu was no exception.
But when Yuan Fengtai saw Yuan Kequu standing aside, who was out of tune with everyone, he frowned slightly, then stepped forward and whispered to Yuan Kequu: "Today I am going to greet the heavenly official, don't cause any trouble for me." cocoon
Yuan Keqiu responded with an expressionless expression: "Yes, father."
Yuan Fengtai nodded, then ordered the opening of the mountain-protecting formation, and then led the elders and disciples to fly out of Tiefuling Ridge, flying all the way to the mid-air five hundred feet above Tiefuling Ridge, and then stood quietly on top of the clouds. Waiting.
Time passed bit by bit, and about half an hour later, a piece of fairy light suddenly fell in the sky, and then a fairy cloud flew from top to bottom, from far to near, and quickly flew to the front.
When the fairy cloud flew closer, everyone saw it. On top of the fairy cloud, there was a jade chariot covered with green treasures. Thirty-six heavenly soldiers wearing golden armor and golden helmets holding magic weapons held flags and poles. Sixteen heavenly warriors acted as sedan bearers and were escorting the jade chariot to fly slowly.
If it is a Heavenly Court Immortal Official, you can tell at a glance that this ceremonial guard is the ceremonial configuration of a Heavenly Court Immortal Official.
But the Yuan family, who had just arrived, did not know that as soon as the jade chariot appeared, they bowed down and worshiped under the leadership of Yuan Fengtai: "Welcome to the Immortal."
"Stop." Hearing the monks greeting him outside, the immortal official in the jade chariot immediately shouted, and then the heavenly soldiers and warriors immediately stopped. cocoon
Immediately, two heavenly soldiers opened the jade chariot curtain and saw an immortal official wearing a scarlet robe walking out of the jade chariot.
The immortal official looked down at the Yuan family in front and said, "Who are you? What are you doing here?"
Yuan Fengtai immediately took three steps forward and bowed: "Yuan Fengtai, a monk from the lower realm, entered the great world of Jambudvipa after converting to Buddhism, and established a residence on Tiefuling Mountain to practice. Yesterday, Nantian Mansion sent a decree that the Immortal will come here, so he led his family The elders and disciples are here to greet you. If there is any offense or offense, please forgive me."
The immortal official smiled slightly when he heard the words and said: "It turns out that I am a monk from the lower realm. I came to Taixuan Province, Taixuan Province. My Taoist name is "Youguang". This time I came to the lower realm to inspect the performance of the immortal officials in various places in Nanzhan Buzhou. Dear fellow Taoists, I would like to welcome you. I will bear your thoughts in mind, but I have official duties and cannot stay for a long time. Fellow Taoists, please come back. "
When Yuan Fengtai heard this, he immediately understood that the Immortal Youguang had no intention of staying here, so he quickly said: "Xiaodao prepared some small gifts to offer to the Immortal to express my gratitude.
The Yuan family's admiration for the heavenly court also asked the immortal to be kind and accept it. "
Hearing this, Immortal Master Youguang nodded and said, "In that case, then submit it."
Yuan Fengtai was delighted when he heard this. He immediately took out a large jade box from his sleeve and walked forward quickly holding the jade box in both hands. cocoon
But soon he was stopped by the heavenly soldiers ten steps away from Yuan Fengtai. Then one of the heavenly soldiers took the jade box and opened it for inspection before turning and walking towards Master Youguang.
When the heavenly soldiers walked up to Immortal Youguang and handed over the jade box, Immortal Youguang also reached out and took the jade box.
At this time, Yuan Kequ also learned about Immortal Youguang's teachings from the second elder. "This Immortal Youguang, like me, is Taiyi Xuanxian." The second elder said to Yuan Kequ with a smile.
Then he saw Yuan Ke go out of the crowd, and then shouted loudly to Master Youguang from a distance: "Yuan Ke, a descendant of the Yuan family, pays homage to Master Youguang!"
This shout of worship immediately attracted everyone's attention. Even Yuan Fengtai looked at Yuan Kequ with a look of shock and anger, and the Yuan clan members behind him also looked at Yuan Kequ with great surprise.
Immortal Master Youguang was also attracted by Yuan Ke. He raised his hands with a smile and saw Yuan Ke going, holding a long black tube in each hand and pointing at him.
Those heavenly soldiers reacted immediately after being stunned, and exclaimed loudly: "Protect the Commander-in-Chief!"
"Bang!" "Bang!"
Two loud noises resounded through the clouds, and the two long tubes instantly burst out with two red flames, piercing the void and shooting towards Immortal Youguang at extremely fast speeds.
Yuan Fengtai was horrified. He immediately used his magic weapon to block the two flames, but the speed of the flames was too fast, and his reaction was too slow for a moment, and he blocked it directly.
All this happened in a shocking moment. A heavenly soldier who reacted the fastest immediately stood in front of Immortal Master Youguang. There was only a "pop" sound, and the flame on the right hit the chest of the heavenly soldier, and then "bang" "With a sound, the golden armor on this heavenly soldier shattered directly, but his physical body was intact.
The flame on the left was only a little slower than the flame on the right, and then it hit the body of the heavenly soldier. Then the heavenly soldier no longer had armor protection, and the body instantly shattered and turned into a ball of blood mist, and the flame The light did not stop and hit Immortal Master Youguang again.
"boom"
Following an explosion, Taiyi Xuanxian Youguang Immortal Master's physical body instantly shattered and exploded into a bloody mist. His reaction was two breaths slower than that of the heavenly soldier, so he didn't even have time to protect his body with the immortal light. After sacrifice, the body died and the Tao disappeared. cocoon
All this happened in a room of lightning and flint. Three breaths after Master Youguang's death, Yuan Fengtai came back to his senses in shock.
When those heavenly soldiers and warriors looked at the two pieces of blood mist on the ground, they immediately stepped forward to capture the souls of Immortal Master Youguang and the dead heavenly soldier.
"What are you doing?!!!" Yuan Fengtai shouted at Yuan Kequ, then raised his hand to kill Yuan Kequ.
But at this time, the thirty-five heavenly soldiers immediately formed a battle formation, turned into a formation of light and stepped forward to surround Yuan Ke in the middle.
Seeing the heavenly soldiers surrounding Yuan Ke, Yuan Fengtai hurriedly collected his magic power and said to the heavenly soldiers: "What are you doing?! This beast killed the Immortal Youguang!"
One of the heavenly soldiers said with a solemn face: "He is a murderer, he cannot die!"
Yuan Fengtai instantly understood. These heavenly soldiers suspected that there was someone behind Yuan Keqiu, and also suspected that he... killed people and silenced them! cocoon
"call out"
At this moment, a scream resounded through the sky. Yuan Fengtai looked up and saw a fairy light screaming straight into the sky. It was the "Ming Dy", the messenger weapon of the heavenly soldiers!
