The evening breeze blows brightly, and the moon hangs in the sky——
When Jun Yao finished bowing and saluting, when he raised his head, his eyes touched the figure of the short, fat woodcutter on the blue rock.
Even though he was a Taoist disciple, he had already heard a lot of secrets about this patriarch.
But when I witnessed it with my own eyes, my pupils still flashed slightly, and I couldn't help but think about it.
All kinds of shackles make the path to immortality difficult——
Since the golden elixir, the soul has returned to the void.
In the realm of pure Yang, there are three levels of disasters that block the way. If you don't have great supernatural powers and magic power to protect you, the three disasters of wind, fire and thunder will come at once. No matter how you used to shock the past and present, and amaze your talents, it will be inevitable. Go away as ashes, never to be whole again.
Even if the Pure Yang is achieved, the three Central Avenue Qingyun condenses and condenses. From then on, it will truly enter the great realm of Hedao. He will be the same king in the world and can be the elder of all the spirits in the universe, named "Tao". "Jun"!
He is the Sub-Jun of the Three Realms, the Tomb Master of Yuandong!
If we can find a piece of heaven to entrust the root and fruit of our lives, the lifespan of the Taoist Lords will be almost endless and they will always be with the heaven.
As long as you don't encounter irresistible external calamities, you will no longer have to suffer from birth, old age, illness and death, and you will almost have achieved the great freedom and freedom of eternal life!
But in the realm of Hedao, after all, it is only a near-term achievement of immortality, not a real achievement of immortality...
If Tianyu encounters the calamity of Deyang Nine Hundred and Six, or is destroyed by external forces, once it collapses and is destroyed, it will never recover.
The Tao Lord who placed his life root and fruit in the sky will definitely not be able to please him, and his vitality will be severely damaged.
Only by taking a step further on the path of harmony, can you gain immortality and become a true immortal...
At that time, I will be completely immortal, transcendent from the mundane world, the universe will be destroyed but my body will be immortal, and all tribulations will be difficult for me!
Since then.
It means jumping out of the Three Realms and no longer in the Five Elements!
Even in the ancient times, when the Taoist court was so powerful that it single-handedly suppressed all the heavens and all the ways, and suppressed all the souls in the universe, those who had gained immortality were also people who needed to be respected and should not be taken lightly. Look at it and treat it with caution.
Although there are infinite benefits to achieving immortality, there are nine obstacles in the step from becoming a true immortal. Only by overcoming them can you achieve immortality and achieve complete success.
These nine obstacles to the realm of harmony are collectively called—
The Nine Difficulties of Hedao!
Jun Yao knows.
In this century, the Xudu Tianyuchen sect was ruled by three Taoist ancestors, Wei Ling, Tongxuan and Shan Jian.
However, Taoist Master Tongxuan rarely manages affairs. Only in the face of major events, he will occasionally become distracted and discuss with the two Taoist Masters Wei Ling and Shan Jian.
Even if he is Jun Yao, he respects him as a Taoist.
This is also the first time today that I have witnessed the true form of Lord Tongxuan, rather than a distracted incarnation...
He vaguely heard rumors that this Patriarch, who lived in a deep mountain valley, had failed to achieve the highest level of immortality in his early years. In the end, although he settled for the next best thing and managed to achieve transcendence, he was still unwilling to accept it. Later, due to a major event, he... He simply harmed his own state and started all over again.
But today Junyao took a serious look at it, even if he didn't deliberately use his Dharma eyes to look at it.
The human figure on the blue rock seems to be a great sage born from infinite chaos. The pure round light behind his neck seems to encompass all emptiness, color, and non-being, and his eyes are ancient and profound.
His body shape changes erratically between young and old, as if in an instant, thousands of years have passed by, turning the young and young child into a withered and dead body. But when he looks closely, he can't see it. In the blink of an eye, time rolls back again, and the vibrant appearance suddenly appears.
The scene is hidden and unpredictable.
Mighty as thunder, bright as stars!
This realm already shows a bit of the beginning of heaven and earth.
It's really quiet.
It’s also wisdom and perfection!
However, Jun Yao did not wait to take a closer look.
Suddenly, the sound of a bell was heard, and all the visions were instantly hidden, as if they had never happened.
On the blue rock, the short and fat old woodcutter has a kind face, his hair is already green, and his two white eyebrows are like old silkworms. He is ordinary and can no longer see the slightest bit of magic.
Yinghua is restrained, just like an ordinary woodcutter in the mountains and forests.
"Daozi, I haven't seen you for a long time. Please sit down."
Lord Tongxuan smiled.
He stretched out his hand and pointed, and the green vines on the ground spread out and formed a seat. Jun Yao did not refuse, bowed his head in salute, and sat on it.
"Congratulations, Patriarch, for making further progress in your cultivation. I'm afraid it's not too far away to achieve immortality."
he praised.
Lord Tongxuan shook his head, waved his hand and said:
"If I forcefully pick up the immortality now, the most I can do is get a corpse-disintegrating immortal fruit. The lowest level of the immortal fruit seems to be such an immortality, so it's better not to pick it up.
Even if I succeeded, it would be a waste of my efforts to rebuild, and it would not be able to cope with my old enemy. What does such an achievement count for? "
Jun Yao cupped his hands and bowed again, but was speechless.
The three Taoist patriarchs who ruled the Yuchen sect in this era all had their own mystical powers.
Patriarch Wei Ling's killing power is unparalleled. His swordsmanship has already reached the state of "one sword generates all kinds of magic". His magical powers are also supreme. He is regarded as his lifelong enemy and best friend by Minqiu Daojun of the Zhongyi Sword Sect. , the two have competed hundreds of times, and the winner is indistinguishable.
However, the founder of the mountain slips achieved enlightenment through formations.
This old man once set up a "Celestial-Han Starry Formation" in Chang Wen Tian, forcibly trapping several human beings in Qingya Cave in the academy, and blocked them for more than half a year. In the end, Chang Wen Tian was in seclusion. The Qianxiu Da Zhi Ren couldn't stand it anymore, so he took action to break through the "Celestial Han Galaxy Formation" and finally resolved the deadlock.
Even though these two patriarchs are so supreme, they still implicitly regard Lord Tongxuan as their elders in their words and deeds.
If there is a major event involving the rise or fall of a sect, one must always wait for him to speak out before speaking.
When Jun Yao was listening to Patriarch Wei Ling's seat, he once heard him say with a smile that Lord Tongxuan Dao was the most unfathomable among the three patriarchs who ruled Yuchen in this era, and his cultivation had already reached the heavens and the earth. , like the ocean in the North Ming Dynasty, it is incomprehensible!
Although these words were mentioned in passing, Jun Yao kept them in his heart and never forgot them.
And until today.
He finally saw the true form of this ancestor.
Although I had expected it, I was still shocked...
…
"Daozi, you are a smart man. Judging from your expression, it seems that you have already guessed today's scene. I wonder when it started?"
At this moment.
Master Tongxuan suddenly stroked his long beard with his hand and smiled kindly.
"From the time of Jince, I clearly placed Chen Heng in Baishang Academy, and Master Wu Sheng taught him how to practice. But I never thought that when he finally settled down, it would be Changying Academy..."
There was a moment of silence.
Jun Yao shook his head and said:
"Since then, I have had suspicions in my heart, and today's meeting has indeed confirmed this idea."
As a dignified Taoist scholar, the only ones in the Yuchen Sect who can secretly change his decision are the leader, the Supreme Master, and the three patriarchs of this era.
At the same time, Pei Shuyang, the head of Yuchen, is currently in Fa Sheng Tian, planning an earth-shattering event with the heads of the eight sects, and has no time to pay attention to such trivial matters.
As for the two Taoist ancestors, Wei Ling and Shan Jian, neither of them had a nosy temperament, and Chen Heng's so-called life and death were never in their minds.
Think about it.
Only one person is left...
Jun Yao also knew the reason why Lord Tongxuan did what he did.
Chen Heng’s life experience is the best place to start!
There is no need to deliberately arrange any grudges...
As long as Chen Heng is alive, those in the family will not easily give up their old grudges. Conflict and friction between the two parties are inevitable and foreseeable!
The people in the family are becoming more and more rampant, and they have gradually become a powerful force. They are even somewhat unclearly involved with Tianwaipo. They want to cause a big change and change the world. Jun Yao also sees it in his eyes.
When he was in power, he never spared any effort to suppress the Twelve Generations, causing countless people to secretly complain and wish they could be killed first and then quickly.
But in the end, he still failed to succeed and completely completed the task of destroying the family.
And this time.
Presumably, another person is needed to succeed him and do what he has not yet done.
As for who that person is...
"I didn't expect that the Patriarch would be so optimistic about Chen Heng. It's really beyond the disciple's expectation."
Jun Yao was silent for a moment, as if he was thinking about something. He frowned slowly and said earnestly:
"However, I have a favor to ask of you, and I would like to ask the Patriarch——"
"If things are not harmonious, I will take action to protect him. The people in this family are just suffering from ringworm and scabies. In our eyes, it is not a big harm. If they are really bold and want to do something to change the sky, , the eight sects and six sects can abandon the old opinions in an instant and kill them in the palm of your hand."
Lord Tongxuan waved his hand disapprovingly and interrupted:
"I just want to find a good disciple and see what he can do, without forcing him to a dead end. That is not the heart of the teacher."
It's time to talk.
Taojun Tongxuan seemed to think of something again, smiled and said:
"What I said to you today seems to have been mentioned to Chen Yuanji of Yuluo Immortal Mansion a few months ago. You two are like elder brothers and you take good care of that boy."
"Chen Yuanji? He has been famous for a long time."
Jun Yao cupped his hands and said.
at the same time.
After hearing Taojun Tongxuan's reply, he finally breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and a smile appeared on his lips.
And his expression was seen by Lord Tongxuan, who couldn't help but shook his head and sighed:
"If you hadn't guessed that I was behind the plan, what happened today would have involved more than just the broken piece of the Abi Sword and a total true seal. Daozi, you wish you could throw away all your Yuandu Demon-Slaying Swords. ?
You are so infatuated that you actually went to this extent for Chen Yan? "
"She asked me to take care of those brothers and sisters before she died, and I promised her."
Jun Yao's eyes widened slightly, he paused, and said with a smile:
"In this case, it's always hard to break the contract..."
"And when I see you today, in addition to reassuring you, I also want to persuade you one last time and send a message for Wei Ling. You are going to Tianwai Mei Gongxing, and your life and death are really unpredictable, and your fortunes and blessings are unknown."
Tongxuan Daojun's voice suddenly became louder and he shouted:
"Willing, let me ask you one last time, Daozi, are you going to give up the "White Water Demonic Curse" or not?"
Jun Yao raised his eyes.
"If you are willing to give up this method, you can take a break from the passing of lifespan, and we will find a way to make up for the lost lifespan for you!"
at this time.
Taojun Tongxuan's face was slightly solemn, and he rarely tried to persuade him word by word:
“For the last time, it’s nice to think about it…
As long as you give up that alchemy, you will still be my disciple, Yu Chen! "
Jun Yao was silent for a long time after hearing this, speechless for a moment.
…
…
In life, between heaven and earth, there must be a little bit of Yuanling living in the Zi Mansion, from which three souls and seven souls are conceived.
This is also called "Yuan Shi Ancestral Qi", which contains true yin and true yang. It is produced at the beginning of human nature and the beginning of chaos.
The five internal organs of flesh and blood, the muscles and bones of the whole body, the internal and external orifices, the hundreds of meridians of heaven and earth——
It’s all thanks to Yuan Ling being the host in the middle!
If a person has no soul, he will not be born. This is also an iron rule, and no one can blame it.
The "Secret Curse of the Great Demonic Spirit of White Water", which was created since the ancient Taoist era and was praised by Taishi Lingmei Gong, and then personally requested to ban it, is no exception.
But it is outside this iron law.
Another trick was found...
A person cannot live without his Yuanling. However, if one of the three souls and seven souls of the deceased had been collected before the Yuanling was dissipated, he could seize the opportunity and apply magical external force. Can the Yuanling of the deceased be condensed again? Determine it and bring it back to life?
The so-called "Secret Curse of the White Water Demonic Spirit" was deliberately created with this principle as its purpose.
The whimsical aspects of it made even Taishi Lingmei Gong see it and admired it, thinking it was wonderful.
And this method is indeed wonderful.
But after all, it goes against the common sense of heaven and earth, and it is inevitable to be punished.
Once the technique is performed, the user's life span will begin to leak out, making it difficult to stop it. Even if you take elixirs and other substances to increase your life span, it will only be able to delay it for a while, and it will be useless in the end...
Under the gaze of Lord Tongxuan.
Jun Yao raised his hand to press his heart hard, and was in a daze for a moment.
There seems to be another familiar heartbeat sound there, still in my ears.
for a long time.
A smile appeared on his lips, and he shook his head silently.
"If I give up that alchemy, it will be like killing her completely. But the day before yesterday, Chen Yan was able to speak to me..."
It was quiet for a moment.
He spoke softly and said calmly:
"Please forgive me, Patriarch, my disciple has made up his mind."
The words fell.
There was silence for a moment.
And in an unknown location.
But suddenly there was a cold snort of displeasure, like thunder on dry land, which made the grass and trees in the valley rustle, then disappeared in an instant.
"...Disciple has met Patriarch Wei Ling."
Jun Yao was startled, then leaned over to salute.
And the wait has been a long time.
There was no voice response...
In the end, Lord Tongxuan sighed, raised his hand in vain, held it up, and said:
"Get up, Wei Ling has already left. Now that you have made up your mind, I won't say any more. You said that Chen Yan has been able to talk to you for a few words, but even she can't dissuade you, let alone It's someone else.
The road ahead is dangerous.
Daozi.
You need to be careful..."
Upon hearing this, Jun Yao bowed his head deeply, and immediately felt his feet trembling and his footing unsteady, as if he was in the midst of the turbulent waves.
When he regained his balance, he was already in the sky again.
Surrounded by a vast sea of clouds, a bright moon was emitting bright light, outshining all the stars.
The valley is quiet, the sound of wind is clear, and the moonlight is deep in the sky——
Jun Yao looked at the sky that seemed to be within reach and remained silent for a long time in the cold light.
He is like a cold and hard jade sculpture, or like a stone that has been eroded by the wind and sand.
Countless forest trees were vibrating and huffing in the sound of wind, and the cold smoke was blowing from west to east, blurred.
"Jun Yao, you are a complete idiot..."
There was a female voice choking intermittently.
"maybe."
He listened to the wind whistling by his ears, and slowly put his hand on his heart. A smile suddenly appeared on his expressionless face, and he said gently:
"Don't worry, but I will win, I want to live with you...
We must all live together! "
…
…
The next day.
The news spread that Jun Yao, the Taoist disciple of the Yuchen sect, had passed away at the end of his life, and the hearts of all the people who heard it were startled and shocked.
Undercurrents gradually surged, and the storm behind the scenes suddenly became violent.
At this moment, the team from Yuchen Lower Courtyard to Flowing Fire Honghua Cave Heaven was also starting their journey.
The strong men who moved the mountains cleared the way, and the Taoist soldiers and talisman armors were behind them. I saw countless colorful lights meandering across the sky!
