Yeshan is built, and it looks like it was the first time.
Song You still ignored the fierce battle behind him and just stepped forward to Yeshan Mountain and walked into Yeshan Mountain.
The battle between the fox demon and the dragon has also reached a fierce stage.
One side is alive and the other side is death.
The Taoist is already inside the Mountain of Industry.
"Let me borrow a ray of starlight."
The starlight in the sky outside the mountain seems to be drawn here, hazy, illuminating the scene inside Yeshan.
It's a desolate mess.
Song You could restore the original appearance of Yeshan, but he could not restore the buildings originally built by the ghosts in the ghost city.
But he didn't care, he just sat down and closed his eyes in meditation.
As expected, you have to go down the mountain to practice.
After going down the mountain for so many years, Song You has not only grown in Taoism and improved in cultivation, but also has a better understanding of the so-called "Way of Heaven" - often while climbing the mountain, practicing, or in a trance, he will inadvertently come across something. What people in the world and practitioners often call "the way of heaven".
"Heavenly revelation..."
According to Song You's feeling, the way of heaven is ruthless.
Not only is it ruthless, it is not independent from the world, nor is it detached from heaven and earth. It is a big mistake to think of it as a god who sits in the dome and controls the heaven and earth.
The way of heaven should be a creation of the subconscious mind of the world.
It is the aura of mountains and rivers, beggars on the streets, princes and nobles, birds and beasts, demons and gods, and the consciousness of all creatures in the world jointly created it.
You have a share, and so do I.
It's you and it's me.
In the face of the world's will, it actually doesn't matter whether humans, gods or demons are the same. Humans and demons are equal.
But why is it a humane world?
Maybe it's because of equality.
In the will of the world, there is no magical power, no good and evil races, all consciousnesses are equal and are just a stream that converges into it. It's just that there are thousands of plants and trees in the world, and there is really no consciousness. There are countless birds and beasts, but most of them are stupid, and it is difficult to say how wise they are. Even if they achieve Taoism and transform into human beings, many demons who have practiced for hundreds of years are not necessarily as smart as ordinary people.
People's consciousness is strong and their numbers are large, so they naturally gain the upper hand.
I don’t know how many descendants of Fulongguan have noticed this. In short, when Song You noticed this, he actually overturned many previous perceptions.
It is said that the ancient gods, demons and humane monks gradually disappeared, and the immortals were not able to live forever. It was destiny.
But is there really a greater god who is independent of all creatures in the world and controls the world's operations and changes the world according to his own preferences?
It was clearly an era of chaos and disorder. The vast number of living beings living in the world were in dire straits and miserable. They could no longer endure those humane monks who could cause landslides and earth to fall apart with just a move of their hands, and those in power who wanted to kill human beings at the slightest hint of joy or anger. The gods who went to sacrifice, as well as the demons and monsters who wanted to eat people and kill people for fun, had long been tired of the rule and torture of the immortal power, and everyone wanted to return.
When most creatures in the world feel that it is time to change the sky, the way of heaven will change.
Fulong Temple is the inheritance of Earth Saint.
Not everyone can be called a saint.
Unless you make it up, no matter how powerful your magic power is, it cannot be called a saint.
This word does not mean power.
It is said that Fulong Temple is favored by heaven, and it has been passed down from ancient times to the present. Not only is the inheritance unbroken, but each generation retains the ability of the ancient power.
Is it really the blessing of "Heaven"?
Does this privilege and honor really come from a "great god" that is independent of the creatures in the world?
In fact, it comes from living beings in the world.
The earthly saint has unlimited virtues, his thoughts influence the world, and he has made great contributions to the people and civilization of the world. The people of the world think that he is different from other gods, demons, ghosts and immortals, so the changes in the way of heaven have not embarrassed him. Afterwards, Fulongguan was passed down from generation to generation, but they all did not seek immortality, but only benefited all living beings in the world and kept their original intentions, so that it can continue.
The creatures in the world need such a person to walk in the world, so Fulong Temple has outstanding people from generation to generation.
It’s not someone’s arrangement, it’s the result of everyone’s thoughts.
If we have to talk about arrangements, they are not arranged by any one person. They are the expectations and beliefs of most living beings in the world.
The so-called direction of destiny is mostly an excuse used by mortals to comfort or encourage themselves. But if it is really the direction of destiny, it is definitely not what some "great god" thinks it should be, but what everyone thinks is what the world should be. in this way.
The same is true in the underworld.
All the people in the world think it should be there, and the will of the world also thinks it should be there, because it inherently represents the people of the world. All the people in the world hope that it will appear in the world soon, and the will of the world will be condensed as soon as possible. However, it does not care whether it is promoted by the emperor to become a ghost emperor or the national master in order to seek immortality. It is ruthless.
The revelation that the National Master received should be true.
In a short period of time, the National Preceptor did not reveal the details of his dream or how to judge whether it was a revelation from heaven rather than a dream disguised by another great power. However, a person like the National Preceptor would definitely consider these, so there is a high probability that there are other details to support his decision. Judgment, but did not lobby for Song.
Song You believed him for the time being.
The revelation of Heavenly Dao was very simple, it was to condense the underworld and the underworld as quickly as possible, so he secretly let the master see the general process of the underworld and the underworld being condensed without intervention.
If no one goes to get the five squares of earth and four seasons of springs, the underworld will still be completed, but it will be a little later. Just like the underworld would still be built many years later even without the promotion of the national master and the emperor. However, since the conditions are already in place in the world, it can be artificially accelerated.
It is always a good thing to gather together quickly.
With the participation of outstanding people, a lot of confusion can be avoided.
As for what Song You asked later, whether someone wanted to use the hands of the national master to refine the herbal medicine, or whether he wanted to cause chaos in the world. In fact, he was a little suspicious of the fox demon.
Although the fox demon is limited to the way of heaven and has not cultivated the nine tails, its talent cannot be underestimated, and it is also good at calculations. It has been plotting the national master's elixir for many years, which is doubtful.
The Imperial Master had doubted her before, especially after he made the first batch of elixirs and the fox came to her door. There should be other evidence to support him, dispelling his suspicion of the fox. Just because he had just died and turned into a ghost, his consciousness was chaotic, or just like Song You had doubted the imperial master before, there were many small clues that cast suspicion, but they were not enough to be woven into evidence, so he couldn't tell.
It is also a reference for Song You to some extent.
Before I knew it, the sounds outside had subsided.
The sound of footsteps came from the entrance of Yeshan Pass.
The footsteps were slow and light.
Song You stopped his thoughts and looked at it calmly.
Under the dim starlight, the woman was still dressed in white, with no color at all. Behind her were the maids who carried the piano for her, all of them walking slowly with weak and tired faces.
The Taoist sat still.
The woman walked up to him and was half a foot away from him. She followed him and sat down cross-legged.
The maid sat behind her, very well-behaved and silent.
The woman stretched out her hand towards Song You, spreading her fingers.
The palms are thin and white, and the fingers are delicate.
Two pills floated out of his palm.
"This is the yin and yang longevity pill made by the imperial master. One pill can extend your life for thousands of years. The other pill is the leftover medicine residue from the pill making. Although it has little effect, if a mortal eats it, it can also extend his life. If he is dead, as long as his head is still there, On his own neck, he could also wake up and come back to life. Wan Jiang collected it, kneaded it into pills, and presented them to the Taoist Master."
The elixir slowly floated towards Song You.
The fox demon withdrew his hand.
One is a golden elixir, fluttering in the wind, emitting divine light, and containing infinite vitality. The other is dark, although it is far inferior to the golden elixir, it also has infinite vitality.
What's even more amazing is that it was obviously refined using a vicious method, and countless souls died in it, but it didn't have any impurities at all, making it appear to be dazzling, holy and pure.
Song You raised his hand and put away the two pills.
Then he raised his eyes to look at them and said calmly: "It seems that the reputation of fox demons has declined in recent years is not all rumors."
"It's all a helpless move." The woman said softly, her voice was very low, "The Dragon Dragon clan is cold and bloodthirsty, regardless of affection, they killed my people and devoured my grandmother. The racial grudges have to be resolved. Taoist Priest must know that although the fox They are stronger than mountain rabbits and wild cats, but they are also weaker. Dragons are naturally big and ferocious, and it is very difficult for foxes to defeat them."
This time the maid sat behind her, obediently and quietly, not squinting or saying a word.
Just let this woman say it.
"It's our fault to conceal the Taoist master, but Wan Jiang asked himself that he has never harmed anyone, either directly or indirectly. Except for things related to dragons, even demons and ghosts who have gained Taoism, as long as they already have people like human beings We have the same consciousness, and we have never harmed anyone." The woman said truthfully, "We are just foxes, not people. There is a person who wants to harm others for his own selfishness, and it really has nothing to do with us foxes, Wanjiang thought to himself, Even the most kind-hearted people, when they see two groups of foxes fighting over each other, the most kind-hearted person can just watch quietly."
Song You was actually calm in his heart, and just looked at them lightly: "He is an incredible monster."
"Do you think, Taoist Master, that we are sorry for you?"
"Why do you ask?"
"..."
The woman raised her head and looked at him, and after a while she said: "Because Wan Jiang's admiration for the Taoist priest is not false. Everything he said to the Taoist priest in Changjing, except that it was related to Yeshan, was not a lie."
"We have been waiting for this opportunity for too long. We have been hiding in Chang Jingdu for many years. Regarding racial grievances, we really can't give it up just because we admire the Taoist priest." The maid behind her finally couldn't help but speak, but no matter in her tone, demeanor or voice They were all serious and their voices were clear and crisp, "We have never deceived the Taoist Priest on behalf of the Imperial Master. At most, we knew without reporting it, avoided answering, and let the Taoist Priest investigate. But sometimes, avoiding the answer itself can be considered a kind of cryptic behavior." The answer... The Taoist priest should ask himself, is there no subtle reminder from us that the Taoist priest is suspicious of the imperial master?"
"have."
Song You replied calmly.
It seems that after he came down from the mountain, both the national master and the fox made preparations for themselves to discover the truth about Yeshan.
The National Preceptor invited the Dragon and White Rhinoceros, as well as the Superstar God of the Tiangong Fighting Division. This lineup can defeat any fallen demon king in the north and can fight with the ancient powers. If the successor of Fulongguan, who is usually not good at fighting and has not yet reached great success after coming down the mountain, comes, he might really end up here.
The fox demon made other preparations.
It's hard to say whose strategy is more profound, whose preparation is more powerful, and the position of the national division is doomed to failure.
The fox does not need to be responsible for human disputes, and has no obligation to inform Song You. People mostly watch the fights between monsters and ghosts in the mountains and will not interfere. What's more, they have been together many times in the past few years. Sometimes they reveal something secretly between the lines or in their tone, and sometimes they avoid it. Not answering is considered a gift to Song You's suspicion, and it is the end of benevolence and justice. The one who would be most sorry would be the national master if he really robbed the elixir.
However, Taoists are human beings.
Song You just raised his head and looked at them: "You are here now. What do you want for me?"
"..."
The woman had actually been looking at his expression. She smiled helplessly when she saw this, and then said weakly: "Wan Jiang came to look for the Taoist Master again. I wanted to ask for two things. Now it seems that the first thing is what Wan Jiang wants to ask for most. If you can’t ask for it soon, let’s ask for the second thing first.”
"You want the Immortality Pill?"
Song You lowered his eyes and looked at the pill in his hand.
"Exactly."
The fox demon answered simply and sincerely.
