The Old Summer Palace is known as the Garden of Ten Thousand Gardens.
The buildings are exquisite, the area is grand, and the various creations are of uncanny craftsmanship. In addition, it is rich in various cultural collections dating back five thousand years. It was Emperor Qianlong who built a warehouse to flaunt his own private collection.
After one hundred and fifty years of management by the Qing Dynasty, with successive generations of additions and treasures, it finally became known as the Garden of Ten Thousand Gardens.
This place is located in the northwest suburbs of Kyoto. Usually in summer, the Qing emperors would come here to escape the summer heat, so it is also called the Summer Palace.
Now is the summer season again.
The common people in Beijing looked at the dignitaries on the streets with lanterns and colorful decorations, as well as the army in groups, wearing official badges and screens.
The common people were driven into the streets and alleys, and every street was emptied.
Then I saw the chariot of the current demon queen passing by on the street.
Go straight to the Old Summer Palace.
The common people talked to each other.
"I'm going to reward all the heroes and masters in the world of martial arts."
"This is really God's blessing for us. He was able to produce so many masters and gods, who brought us back to the human world when our country was ruined, our family was destroyed, and all our lives were in ruins."
"Sun Lutang, Li Shuwen, Li Jinglin, Du Xinwu, these are all peerless masters in the martial arts world."
"It is said that on the battlefield in Dagu, our Sun Shaobao mastered kung fu and became an immortal. He was invulnerable to weapons and weapons. A foreigner was killed when he ducked out of the way. In the battle formation, there were tens of thousands of enemies, just like Li Yuanba and Lu Bu in the novel."
Sun Lutang was known as the "Tiger Head Shaobao" and "the best in the world".
Because he competed with the world's masters in the folk martial arts all year round, his reputation spread all over the country.
Even without this battle at Dagokou, he is still the number one master in the world in the hearts of many civilians and martial arts practitioners from all sects.
"Some time ago, I heard that Mr. Sun Lutang was practicing at Huo's house in Tianjin. When he was practicing, he let out a loud roar, which shook the three-mile long street. Everyone could hear it, just like the roar of a dragon and the roar of a tiger..."
That was the time when Sun Lutang achieved the goal of seeing the gods and becoming immortal.
During the Battle of Taku, Sun Lutang completely entered this realm.
However, what young and old men in Beijing talk more about is the number one Taoist of all time...Chen Xixiang.
The Battle of Dagukou lasted for three months, and the detailed process had long been exaggerated to a certain extent by the military and civilians of Dagu during the long rumor fermentation.
Zhang Tianshi, a member of the Taoist sect, immediately shouted "Laozi is coming to the world" in the Taoist world, believing that Chen Xixiang was the incarnation of Taishang Laojun, who came to earth to open heaven and save people again.
According to Taoist legend, Taishang Taoist ancestor has eighty-one incarnations.
The first transformation of "no beginning and no end"...
The second version of "Tai Chi Dharma Image"...
The third form of "Eternal Master"...
The fourth version of "Pangu opens the sky"...
…
In Taoism, nine is the ultimate number, and nine-nine and eighty-one is an infinite number.
The eighty-one transformations of Taishang means that the incarnations of Taishang Daozu are endless. There are incarnations in different eras and different worlds...
Those recorded in the Taoist scriptures include Taishang Hua Wuji, Hua Taiji, Hua Eternal Master, Hua Pangu Kaitian, etc.
And the Supreme Being transformed Hu into a Buddha...
The Supreme Being incarnates as Li Dan...
There are also Zhang Jiao and Zhang Daoling, the founder of Zhengyi...
It is rumored that he is the incarnation of Taishang Taozu.
This generation is the Heavenly Master Zhang, calling Taishang Taoist ancestor again incarnate as Chen Xixiang!
In the Old Summer Palace.
All martial arts masters are waiting.
Gong Er looked at these couplet houses, with thousands of green bamboos, magnificent gardens, rockery and stone walls, some with ghosts, some with auspicious beasts, standing vertically and horizontally, with moss and ivy coiled above, making them extremely graceful and luxurious.
"This is the Old Summer Palace that was plundered and burned once in the war. It still has such grandeur, wealth and splendor. It is still worthy of being called the Garden of Ten Thousand Gardens. I wonder how glorious and prosperous the real Old Summer Palace must have been more than fifty years ago. It’s incredible…”
Gong Er's face was full of disbelief, and he sighed in his heart.
"Today is the time when the old demon queen summons us. We will act according to the opportunity."
The speaker was Shang Yunxiang.
There was a dangerous aura in his eyes.
Li Jinglin stood aside.
He glanced at the road outside the Old Summer Palace.
I had already seen groups of Qing court honor guards coming, and thought to myself:
"The real person hasn't arrived yet, what these people are discussing..."
Obviously, the reason why this group of martial arts masters came to Beijing to receive the canonization was because they had the bold idea to change the world.
Since Sun Lutang entered the realm of seeing gods and being indestructible, he has grown forty teeth, all his bones and flesh have been doubled, and his height has increased by one foot.
His eyes were fixed on the chariot where the current Demon Queen and the Emperor sat.
Accompanied by a sound:
"The Queen Mother and Lafayette are here!"
"The Emperor has arrived!"
The eunuch shouted twice, and then the guard shouted again, and the voice rose and fell in the air like waves.
In a short period of time, the news spread over two miles.
Sun Lutang watched the Demon Queen and the Emperor go from a special passage to the altar a thousand meters away from them, and looked down at the martial arts people in the square from above.
Thousands of steps above.
The emperor looked at the martial arts people below and said tremblingly:
"Dad, are these the masters who defeated the foreigners? I heard that Sun Lutang can take a hundred and fifty steps in three breaths. If he wants to assassinate me and my dad, then..."
The Demon Queen was already old and her skin was sagging, but she still had a gloomy look on her face. She wore long and pointed purple gold finger guards and did not speak.
Below the Demon Queen and the Emperor.
Standing are the officials of the Qing court.
Among them, Yuan Shiting and Zhang Zhongtang are on the left and right.
Yuan Shiting stood up with his hands raised and said loudly:
"Today, the Queen Mother and the Emperor are rewarding the three armies..."
Li Jinglin, Du Xinwu and others didn't even listen to what he said.
Gaba~
Sun Lutang, who was under the thousand steps below the stage, was already gripping the ground with his five toes, and with the next breath, he was about to shoot out like an arrow.
But, it was at this time.
A voice like a bell echoed over the Old Summer Palace, and even exploded in the minds of Sun Lutang, Li Jinglin, Du Xinwu, Gong Er, and other masters.
"I didn't expect that in this world, apart from me, there are people who can reach the level of seeing gods and being indestructible by virtue of their own cultivation. Sun Lutang, you are very good."
This sound that came from nowhere seemed as vast as the heaven and earth.
When everyone listened, they immediately felt as if they had transformed into tiny ants, hearing the voice of the Lord above the sky.
In the Old Summer Palace, at this moment, all the officials and soldiers from the top to the bottom of the Qing court, including the Demon Queen, the Emperor, Zhang Zhongtang, Yuan Shiting and others, all felt tightness in their chests and dizziness in front of their eyes.
"god!"
"It's him!"
After hearing the sound, the Demon Queen ignored the trembling in her heart, and then she was extremely surprised.
She immediately pulled the emperor to kneel down:
"Emperor, hurry up, kneel down and greet me, the God of the Qing Dynasty!"
The emperor's mind was buzzing.
He is the emperor.
Actually, you want him to kneel down? !
Who do you kneel to? !
Also at this same moment.
Sun Lutang was at the bottom of the steps and shouted like a big bell:
"Old demon from Montenegro!"
Following his voice, Li Cunyi, Gong Baotian, Gong Er, Liu Baiyuan, Xue Dian, Shang Yunxiang, Huo Yuanjia, and several Danjin masters around them all trembled and woke up.
Then, everyone followed Sun Lutang's gaze and looked over.
I saw it on a thousand steps.
Located in front of the Demon Queen, the Emperor, and the many ministers.
Where a figure stands.
The man was dressed in black, tall and powerful, with an aura as deep as the sea, and a fair complexion, like a statue of a god. Just standing there transformed the Old Summer Palace from a royal garden into a temple.
He is the true god in the temple who is worshiped and believed in by all living beings!
When everyone sees this person, it seems that what they see is not a person, but the heaven and earth, the sun, moon and stars above everyone's head, an eternal, empty, vast, and vicissitudes of artistic conception!
In an instant.
A strong wind whipped up in the Old Summer Palace, and the aura in the air flow gathered towards this person the moment he appeared.
As soon as he appeared, the Demon Queen and the Emperor of the Qing Dynasty were asked to bow down. It seemed that people had seen him, and the entire Qing Dynasty was bowing down to this person.
One man created a country and suppressed its destiny for hundreds of years.
Montenegro old demon!
The old demon from Montenegro appears!
For a moment.
Sun Lutang moved. The moment the old Black Mountain demon appeared, he realized that even if he had cultivated to see the gods and be indestructible, when the old Black Mountain demon appeared here, he felt as if the sky was collapsing and the mountains and seas were moving towards him. The pressure on your head.
"The number one demon in the world, he deserves his reputation!"
But that's about it.
In the sky above the Old Summer Palace, a sound that seemed to come from far away from the mountains and seas came again.
The sound is vast and elusive, just like the sound of heaven recorded in ancient books. Only the sound is heard, but the person is not seen.
"Uncle Master!"
Gong Er raised his head and looked around, with strong surprise in his eyes!
"The real person has arrived too!"
Li Jinglin breathed a sigh of relief.
The fear that had shaken the soul just now when the old Black Mountain demon appeared just dissipated immediately after hearing the voice that followed.
above the steps.
The Demon Queen and the Emperor, as well as Zhang Zhongtang, Yuan Shiting and others were all shocked when they heard this heavenly sound.
this……
Is it the one who can defeat the navies of all countries with one palm of his hand?
Especially Yuan Shiting, after hearing this familiar voice, his heart beat wildly with fear.
He could already smell some kind of conflict here today.
today.
Neither the imperial court nor these martial arts figures are the protagonists.
The real protagonist is only...
He raised his head and saw the world's number one demon with his back turned to him like a god. When he raised his head, Yuan Shiting felt as if he had been hit hard.
But when he lowered his head like lightning, he saw something coming from afar...
A... Taoist.
As far as the old demon from Montenegro can see.
Three thousand steps away.
Chen Xixiang walked slowly.
However, even this seemingly gentle pace, in the mind of the old demon from Montenegro, seemed to be the landing of a divine image at every step.
Every step the Taoist takes does not fall on the ground, but on the veins of the aura here.
Every step you take.
The aura and magnetic field in the Old Summer Palace would tremble if he stepped on it!
finally.
After a thousand steps.
The old Black Mountain demon's eyes, which looked like black jade, fell on Chen Xixiang, and he clearly saw this... third person besides his descendants and enemies.
The Taoist and the demon finally meet.
The war is about to break out.
