If you understand a method in the art, you will become an earthly immortal; if you understand a method in the method, you will become a heavenly immortal.
What is metaphysical is called Tao, and what is metaphysical is called tool.
The Tao cannot be known, discussed, or described, so the Tao is conveyed by instruments.
The Tianfan Seal is the most classic example of using an instrument to convey Tao. It is the Great Way of Yuanshi, and it is also the most powerful magical power.
From entry to perfection, there are five realms.
However, having the Great Sage Guangcheng personally perform the technique for Shen Gongbao and reveal the secret of the Heaven-turning Seal is equivalent to hiring a top-notch personal trainer, who almost puts the reference answers in front of his eyes and can make one-on-one copies.
After practicing for two and a half years, Shen Gongbao perfectly copied the Great Sage Guangcheng's understanding of the Heaven-turning Seal, comprehended the essence of the Great Dao, and mastered the aura that shook the world, shattered the three realms, and returned to chaos.
Unlike the Kaitian Seal, which means to create the world, the Heaven-turning Seal aims to shatter the void. With one blow, time will shrink, the universe will collapse, and everything will turn to ashes.
One is birth, between birth and death, the world is created.
One is annihilation, birth and death, chaos and chaos.
"Zhuang Zhou said: Tsuen is for the fish, and when he gets the fish he forgets the Tsuen; hoof is for the rabbit, and he forgets the hoof when he gets the rabbit; speaker is for the reason that he cares about it, and is proud of it and forgets to speak."
After Shen Gongbao understood it, the Great Sage Guangcheng transformed into a vast and simple image, guided his own path, and said slowly: "The second state of being carried away is to see God, break the God in your heart, and shape yourself into a God!"
In an instant, an aura of time flowing and eternal vicissitudes emerged. Guangchengzi stood like a majestic mountain in the heavens and worlds, with the sun, moon and stars rotating around it, and the entire universe was just a drop at the foot of the mountain!
Shen Gongbao's eyes narrowed, as if he was being suppressed by Mount Buzhou, like seeing a pillar of heaven!
The highest, the most supreme, the most ancient, the most simple, this is the Tianzhu Daoyun, and it is the Fan Tianyin that uniquely belongs to the Great Sage Guangcheng.
boom!
Suddenly, there was a loud explosion, just like the Big Bang of the universe, and like the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty when the heaven and the earth were opened, the pillars of heaven collapsed, the earth was broken, the sky tilted to the northwest, the sun, moon and stars moved, one layer after another the sky collapsed and pressed down, endless!
"The heavens and the earth are overturned, the heavens are falling, and the underworld is rebelling!"
The Great Sage Guangcheng raised his hand and turned over the infinite visions in an understatement. He showed the thunderbolt method in the dust, and said calmly: "I have experienced that era in the past, so I have earth-shaking understandings and imprinted the immortals."
"Junior brother, what are you talking about? What are you talking about?"
"Those who learn from me will live, and those who resemble me will die." Shen Gongbao nodded thoughtfully, stood up and bowed, "Thank you, senior brother, for your guidance."
He has practiced Taoism for many years and naturally understands this truth. If he blindly imitates Guangchengzi, he will only become the second best Guangchengzi and cannot surpass the great sage Guangcheng. Only by breaking the shackles and filling his own thoughts can he be qualified to compete.
The earthshaking is Guangchengzi's Fantianyin, not his Fantianyin.
What does his Fantian Seal look like?
Shen Gongbao walked on the Gang, walking in the void, and finally sat cross-legged on the edge of a cliff, calming down and meditating on the Tao. Behind him, a bright fairy light appeared, and a chaotic cloud was held up on the top. The luck-causing flowers and the Yin-de Tao flowers complemented each other, evolving into a Tai Chi scene. , like a fish's tail connected together, flowing on the Taixu Sea of Bitterness, creating ripples of time and arousing lustful thoughts.
His way, his way, his method... are intertwined and evolved endlessly.
He, Shen Gongbao, has never been a pure reckless man. He could not imitate the great sage Guangcheng who held Fantian Seal, overthrew the ancient gods, shattered the void, and suppressed the Eight Desolations.
The tiger sits on the dragon's plate. The present is better than the past, and the world is turned upside down. It is generous and generous.
Not only is the way of heaven overturned, but also the way of humanity is overthrown.
He came to this world not to bring peace to all the heavens and worlds, but to bring war to the earth.
If it is not broken, it cannot be established. If it is broken, it will be established again. The world will be rebuilt. It will never stop moving forward. It will be an endless calamity.
The great end that destroys everything without distinction is like the autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves across the universe.
"Hope is born out of destruction, and evil virtue is born out of misfortune."
"Similar path, the founder of the Yin Shang Dynasty, does Dayi want to establish an underworld?"
Shen Gongbao whispered softly and stood in the wind. A mysterious aura emerged. It was that the Lieshan clan's bloodline was returning to its ancestors, decomposing, and reconstructing the body.
The leader of the Six Yangs stands above the sky and the earth, with an immortal body and an immortal soul. The Immortal Platform blooms with brilliance, like fairy rain, as if there are innate sacred chanting, turning over page after page of the Sutra of Savior, interweaving with the Great Luotian.
With a buzzing sound from the true spirit, two innate star sources flew out, spinning and joining the ranks of recasting the body, leading the changes in the sky, just like the sun and yin, rising and setting over and over again.
It's just that the names of these two stars are not sun and moon, but Ziqi and Yuebo.
Rahu and Ji are the stars that move against the sun and the moon; Ziqi and Yuebo are the stars that move in line with the sun and the moon.
The same sun, moon and five elements are collectively called the seven political affairs and the four remaining elements.
Different from the Sun, Taiyin, Taibai, Suixing, Chenxing, Yinghuo, Zhenxing, Jidu, Rahu, the famous Jiuyao Star.
The reputations of Ziqi and Yuebo are mediocre, but that doesn't mean they don't exist. They are still one of the innate main stars.
In a pair of starry eyes, the luster is like moonlight, and there is an endless purple meaning, which is extremely rich, like an innate star god coming to the world!
Raising his backhand, he reached the end of his road and obeyed his destiny. A mysterious-colored Fantian Seal fell into his palm and was condensed into a weapon.
"Star God...hehe, now I am a serious innate human god."
Shen Gongbao's eyes were slightly closed. When he opened them again, there was no trace of purple. The divine blood of Emperor Yan was flowing all over his body, and the essence of divine blood was boiling. He was an innate human god who was so pure that he could even create the world with Emperor Wa. It is comparable to the first batch of innate humans who created humans.
Coupled with the method of planting seeds with the body learned from the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, it emphasizes the rise of a person in ruins, the resurrection of desolation, the physical body is terrifying to the extreme, and in the ancient times, he is a living great witch.
That’s right, it’s the Great Witch!
The human god is actually the wizard god, but with the bias of hope.
If we look at the division from the perspective of later generations, the human gods are civil servants and doves, while the wizard gods are generals and hawks.
However, above the civil servants and generals, there are emperors and emperors who control people and witchcraft.
In the ancient times, the human gods were cunning and unruly, and the wizard gods were cunning and cunning, capable of suppressing the world. The human emperor who succeeded in ascending to the throne was not the weak emperor of the later generations. Some of them had the strength and means to serve as both the human king and the high priest of the witch religion.
He must be the most powerful among humans and gods, and the wisest among wizards and gods.
It's just that this power has gradually declined since Emperor Yu. A man like Xia Qichengtang could still suppress this group of arrogant and powerful generals with his own connections, blood, and fists.
The human kings of later generations did not have that strength and could not command these ancestors at all, so they could only rely on sacrifices to invite them. As a result, the authority of the witchcraft gradually lost.
Until Wu Yi shot Tianshen and Wen Ding killed Ji Li, after two generations of emperors worked hard to govern, the Yin Shang Qi had some room for maneuver.
However, the virtue of a gentleman can only be cut down in five lifetimes, but nothing can be done more than three.
Emperor Wen Ding's son, Emperor Yi, was a mediocre person. As an emperor, mediocrity was the biggest fault. The Yin Shang Dynasty, which was originally rebellious, began to decline. It was at this time that the Western Zhou Dynasty emerged.
"A good saint can prosper for three generations, but there are only three generations."
Shen Gongbao lived in the era of Emperor Yi and remembered the emperor's various measures in his later years and the internal strife in the royal family. He couldn't help but shake his head and sigh, otherwise he wouldn't have escaped from Chaoge City and ran to famous mountains and rivers to seek immortality.
Not even a noble like him, let alone the ordinary people of the Yin and Shang Dynasties, could bear it.
"Di Yi is just mediocre, but the one behind him is even more important. Di Yi gave birth to three sons: the first is Wei Ziqi; the second is Wei Ziyan; and the third is Zi Shou. The glory of a gentleman is cut off in five generations. It is really just right. It’s the fifth life.”
"Is the remaining power of Wu Yi She Tian Shen going to be exhausted?"
As soon as he thought about this, Shen Gongbao had the idea of going back to Chaoge City to visit his family. He took the opportunity to meet Emperor Xin and see what kind of person he was, and by the way, he prepared some escape routes for Shen Guogong's lineage.
The Great Catastrophe of Conferring Gods is about to begin. No matter who in Zhou and Shang Dynasty wins, or which hero becomes enlightened, the world is destined to be filled with sorrow.
Even the gods passed down from ancient times cannot avoid this fate.
In the Xia Qi era, the Shen lineage was still a king, with a fiefdom, real power, and a divine clan. In the Yin and Shang era, they were dukes. They stayed in Chaoge City and became mascots. They were worshiped high and even the fiefdom was small. It's terrible, just give it a token.
According to this downward trend, it can be foreseen that after the Catastrophe of the Gods, the Shen Kingdom will become a princely state, no longer princes, but ministers. Next time, the Shen Kingdom will probably be expelled from the nobility, and everyone will be wiped out. That’s it.
After leaving Taoyuan Cave, Shen Gongbao saw Guang Chengzi sipping tea at the foot of Jiuxian Mountain. He went up to chat with him and prepared to say goodbye and leave.
Unexpectedly, Guangchengzi smiled and said: "Junior brother is riding a donkey to look for a horse. The Shen family in Chaoge City sent people to look for you a few years ago, but you were not there nine times out of ten."
"I asked the boy to keep them in the Yuxu Lower Courtyard No. 3896. It has been four or five years now."
"Thank you, senior brother, for reminding me. I've been nagging a lot these days. Junior brother, please take the first step." Shen Gongbao had an idea and bowed to Guang Chengzi, then turned into a stream of light and flew towards Yuxu Lower Courtyard.
The rules of the Chan Cult are very strict, and there are very few true transmissions. Even the branches of the Taoist lineage are extremely strict in recruiting disciples. Many creatures who come here because of their reputation cannot be admitted to the Taoist sect, so they stay in the lower courtyard of Yuxu. There is a small test every hundred years and a big test every thousand years. If they pass After ten assessments, you can become a disciple of the Chan Cult.
The Great Sage Guangcheng was in charge of the secular affairs of Yuxu, and the lower house was under his control. He was named the honorary dean. From time to time, he would come to a certain lower house to preach and inspect.
When Shen Gongbao arrived at No. 3896 Yuxu Lower Courtyard, what he saw was not the soldiers of Shen Guogong's mansion, but a group of murderous Taoist boys with scars on their faces, chanting yellow in the courtyard. Court, read Taoist scriptures.
"Dazai, why are you here to pick me up?"
Shen Gongbao looked at an old man with disheveled white hair and strong blood among the Taoists, and immediately smiled and said: "My father is in Chaoge, and Shen Guo should be taking care of it."
Dazai Shen's body trembled. He looked back at Shen Gongbao and said with great excitement: "Young master, you are finally here. I have been waiting for you so hard."
Shen Gongbao's expression changed, and he realized something was wrong. He took Dazai's hand and asked, "But something happened in Chaoge City?"
"I'm guilty." Dazai knelt down with a plop and said with tears: "Young Master is far away in Kunlun and doesn't know anything. Now Shen Kingdom is going to be expelled. I'm incompetent and can't save the country. I hope that Young Master will be punished."
"This is the only remaining divine military guard in Duke Shen. They are all members of the clan who have entered the path of witchcraft."
"The old Duke asked me to take them to join the young master, open up the wilderness, and then build the Kingdom of Shen."
"Shenwuwei." Hundreds of Taoist boys took off their Taoist scarves, revealing their true faces. They were all young and strong men, full of blood and blood. They lined up in an extremely neat formation and shouted in unison: "See you, Young Master!"
The witchcraft ascends to the sky and becomes a god upon command. It is the power rooted in blood. Once it is discovered, it can turn mountains and seas and defeat thousands of armies. It is just a matter of time.
Before becoming a god, there are five realms: divine blood, human hero, totem, demigod, and ascension to heaven.
Although there are few Shenwu Guards, none of them are below the level of demigods. Several members of the Shen clan even succeeded in ascending the witchcraft path to heaven and turned into a witch god.
Once such a lineup is deployed, recruits troops, and accommodates refugees, it can almost establish a small country on the earth.
But it is also the best part of the Shen Kingdom, not because of their strength, but because they are all Chinese and all have the surname Shen!
This kind of power was brought out by Dazai. Shen Gongbao's first reaction was to ask: "How is my father?"
"The old Duke is fine now, but the Kingdom of Shen cannot be saved." Dazai took a deep breath and explained the matter: "Emperor Yi died, and the Shang King who came to the throne was San Zishou, named Emperor Xin."
"After the new king came to the throne, he vigorously promoted the Zhou Festival like his father Emperor Yi..."
Zhou sacrifice is not a sacrifice performed by Zhou people, but refers to the sacrifice of ancestors.
The Yin Shang Dynasty established the country based on virtue. After the death of the emperors of the past dynasties, they did not return to dust or enter reincarnation, but settled in the netherworld, turned into ghost emperors, and existed in the world as netherworld creatures.
Therefore, the Shang kings of all dynasties attached great importance to sacrifices, which were part of their survival. The grander the sacrifices, the more powerful the Ghost Emperor was. The more Shang kings passed away, the more sacrifices were made.
This is a layer-by-layer intensification. As the number of ghost emperors increases, the sacrifice becomes more serious. It reaches its peak in the later period of Emperor Yi.
"Even if Emperor Xin wants to sacrifice, the national power of the Yin and Shang Dynasties does not allow it." Shen Gongbao frowned and said: "I calculated back then. With Chaoge's background, at most seven Shang kings can be sacrificed and seven temples can be built."
"What the young master said back then was true, so he was disgusted by Emperor Yi and was forced to flee." Dazai said with an angry look: "Di Xin is different from Emperor Yi. Emperor Yi is the most tyrannical, and Emperor Xin prohibits everyone from worshiping gods."
"Cancel the sacrifice." Shen Gongbao frowned: "I'm afraid it does not include the Shang kings of the past dynasties."
"Young Master Ming Jian," Dazai gritted his teeth and said, "After Emperor Xin forbade worshiping gods, he used villains to take away the sacrifices and use them all to sacrifice thirty Shang kings!"
Nobles have sacrifices, but villains have no sacrifices. If the former does this, he will sever himself from the nobility system. The latter is not even a nobility, so naturally he will not abide by the rules of nobility.
Good guy, really good guy.
I thought that Emperor Xin wanted to carry out sacrificial reforms, but he never expected that he actually wanted to monopolize the power of sacrificial rituals.
When Emperor Yi was at his craziest, he could only sacrifice the twelve generations of Shang kings and let the twelve ghost emperors come to earth.
Now compared with Di Xin, he is nothing compared to a big witch.
"Sacrificing thirty Shang kings would probably overthrow the entire Chaoge City." Shen Gongbao said quietly, "What else did he do?"
"Conquer the Rong and Di, collect sacrifices, and require all countries to hand over a certain number of human sacrifices." Shen Guo Dazai said sadly and angrily: "Many ancient countries have been exterminated by Shang on the pretext of lack of sacrifices."
"Our country, Shen, is weak and unable to expand outside. If we surrender people and sacrifices like in the Western Zhou Dynasty, we will soon be wiped out."
"Win the title with gold." Shen Gongbao nodded and said, "The pace is so fast. It seems that our new king wants to centralize power."
Strengthen the Shang kings of the past dynasties, suppress the princes from all directions, activate villains to replace nobles, and monopolize the power of sacrifice.
On the surface, Di Xin was indeed an emperor with great ambitions, just like his ancestor Wu Yi who shot the gods.
If he succeeds, he might be able to live another five lives for the Yin Shang Dynasty.
But the more talented and strategic the emperor, the more he neglected one thing, that is, taking too big a step, it is easy to lose his temper.
Governing a country is not about numbers, but about living people.
Governing a big country is like cooking small dishes. If you are too hasty, you will not be able to accomplish anything.
