Li Xiudao: "The current thirty-six islands of Beiminghai are just subordinate sects of the original Beiminghai? This is indeed possible. After all, the current thirty-six islands are just a piece of loose sand, and the strength of the sect is not strong. If the court wants It should not be difficult to expand the territory and push the Thirty-Six Islands across the board. Even if the Thirty-Six Islands and the demon clan join forces, they may not be able to stop the army. I have always wondered why the General's Palace and the Tiandu Yuan are facing each other in the north. In the battle on the Thirty-Six Islands in the Underworld, no real strong men were dispatched, so now I’m afraid there’s an explanation.”
The one-eyed old man said: "That's right, just because Beiminghai was the holy land of the Northern Kingdom during the period of the Seven sects a thousand years ago. Even if Emperor Bule is invincible today, he has never gone deep into it alone. What's more, Emperor Bule has also made some mistakes in recent years. Changes have occurred. In recent years, there has been some chaos in the imperial court. Emperor Bu Le seems to have changed his personality and is no longer diligent in government. He has been living deep in the harem for a long time. The original expedition to the north delayed the date of the army's march north. There are also reasons for this. Come to think of it, The General's Mansion and the Tiandu Yuan went north to fight in Beiminghai, and it ended in the same way."
Wen Xiuqing couldn't help but ask: "One-eyed old man, you once worked in the General's Mansion, and you are a guest elder. It's okay to know some dusty history, but you just said that something happened to Emperor Bule. This kind of I’m afraid no one would dare to spread the news easily from the palace, how do you know this?”
The one-eyed old man glanced at her and said: "There are many powerful people in the imperial court, and the forces are intertwined. The most dangerous place in the world is not the battle on the battlefield, but the imperial court. Any concubine, or eunuch maid, Maybe he is a top master who can suppress the powerful Nascent Soul at will!"
Wen Xiuqing said: "Everyone must understand this principle, but the greater the danger, the greater the benefits."
The one-eyed old man said: "If you ask me such a question, it can only mean that you don't understand the affairs of the court."
Wen Xiuqing said directly and calmly: "I admit this."
The one-eyed old man said: "That's right, you listen to me first. About fifty years ago, the Daguan country was destroyed. A powerful demon clan leader led by established a political power and moved the capital to Shangjing. He was not happy to be the country's name. Don't say anything else. , I have never seen any dynasty use these two words as the name of the country since ancient times. This is too ominous. There are eight hells, and there are also unhappy, miserable, and disgusting. Unhappy means hell. I I think that even though the demons sit on the throne of the Nine-Five Lords, their original intention is to make the country strong and enjoy the glory of the country forever, so the title of the country should be a top priority."
Wen Xiuqing thought for a moment and said: "It is indeed true. In the past, many people have ignored the issue of the country name you mentioned. They have preconceived ideas and subconsciously felt that the demon country should use such a name to be in line with the demon people. By nature, they ignored what you said about Guo Zuo, but why did they do this? Isn’t this tantamount to damning themselves to hell?"
The one-eyed old man said: "I'm afraid it's hard for me to answer you. Earlier you asked me how I could know the secrets of the palace, and I just told you some of my thoughts. As for whether it's right or not, I have to see the truth in the future."
"Okay, I won't interrupt you, you can continue talking!" Wen Xiuqing said.
The one-eyed old man nodded and said: "As far as I know, the former Daguan Kingdom was very rich, with thousands of good generals and a strong military. There were also a large number of forces from the immortal world headed by civil and military saints who served the previous dynasty, and everyone made a profit. The bowls were filled with alms, and the North-South Grand Canal was dug. It was a rare and prosperous period in a thousand years. It was called the Western Region Fan Zhi, and Jiuli in the southern country became vassals. In order to avoid swordsmanship, they paid tribute every year. It was different in the last years of Daguan. It can be said that Daguan The capital of the country was conquered in just a few months. Strong demons seemed to fall from the sky. All civil and military officials in the dynasty were captured. The two saints and Emperor Daguan disappeared. Only the national master broke out of the siege and took away the young prince. .”
"So that's what happened!" Li Xiu, who had been silent for a long time, said at this time: "In fact, according to some things I know, Zuo, the 400-year-old king of Daguan Kingdom, and the two civil and military saints disappeared as early as the early years of Daguanzhong. That’s right.”
"How is that possible?" The one-eyed old man felt very surprised.
Li Xiudao: "You don't know something. Not long ago, the sacred weapon of the Literary Sage appeared in Guyang Pass. It was a stone chime, which is consistent with the records in the collection. The sacred stone chime fooled the ancestors of the Ma family and collected luck for it. After refining the Great Dharma Body, and finally making a wedding dress for the sacred weapon, and refining the spirit, according to the age of the ancestor of the Ma family, he has gained more lifespan. In other words, if the lifespan of the Golden Elixir Dzogchen is two hundred and fifty years, The ancestor of the Ma family is at least two hundred and fifty years old. If you want to mentally fool a strong man like the ancestor of the Ma family for many years, even Nascent Soul cannot do it. You can only shape his personality from a young age. Only in this way can it be possible to completely become a slave to the sacred weapon."
"It's actually like this!" the one-eyed old man pondered.
Li Xiudao: "I understand what you mean by these things. What you want to say is that whether they are the strong men who survived the catastrophe in the prosperous age or the masters who achieved cultivation in the Dharma Ending Age, they all have one thing in common, and that is their old age. It’s ominous. When they reach the highest stage, they will all disappear inexplicably. You think that although Emperor Buluo has an invincible appearance, he is neglectful of government affairs and lives deep in the harem, so you surmise that something is wrong with him, right?"
"It can't be completely said to be speculation!" the one-eyed old man said: "I was once a guest in the general's residence, and a confidant. This statement is actually something I accidentally learned from the conversation between the general and Kuhai. "
Li Xiudao: "Let's not worry about the ultimate authenticity of this matter. We will not discuss the outcome for the time being. One-eyed old man, I have something to ask you. Have you seen the general and the sea of suffering with your own eyes?"
The one-eyed old man said: "It's hard to say."
"Why is it hard to tell?" Li Xiu asked.
The one-eyed old man said: "Actually, both the general and Ku Hai, the leader of the four guest ministers, are as mysterious as the old demon Honglian. No one even dares to determine their gender. The general I know, Ku Hai, and that Queen Bellis, in fact, their cultivation level can only be considered average, far from reaching the Nascent Soul level. They are only masters in the spiritual silence stage, not much better than me at that time. But reason tells me that they can be in charge of a general. For a special authority like the Mansion, a person who becomes the right-hand man of the Bu Le Emperor should not only have Lingji cultivation, otherwise he would have been killed by his enemies long ago. In recent years, the strength of the General's Mansion has been faintly overtaking the Heavenly Governor's Palace. , so I can’t say anything about their true identities. Maybe only Emperor Bule knows this secret."
Li Xiu waved his hand and said: "Forget it, don't rush this matter. One-eyed old man, we were talking about cultivation resources just now. We all thought you had a way to solve it. You said a lot about the thirty-six islands in the Beiming Sea. , are you plotting against the disappearing ancient Bei Minghai sect?"
The one-eyed old man said: "Disappeared things always leave some clues. As far as I know, there are many people who have ideas about Beiminghai. I am not alone. You said before that you killed people in Beiminghai." Master Gray Eyes is with me, but Master Gray Eyes is not that easy to die. Master Gray Eyes is proficient in the art of dismembering corpses, and has practiced it to the point of having eight lives. His only weakness is dismembering corpses. Once the technique is used, the strength will drop a lot, which is okay, he is the best candidate to find the Beiminghai ruins."
Li Xiudao: "I wonder if your search for the Beiminghai ruins was done privately, or was it ordered by the general?"
The one-eyed old man said: "As far as I know, the general has lived in seclusion for more than ten years and rarely comes out. All the worldly affairs have been left to Kuhai and Queen Beilis to handle. Huitong and I are also among the four great Guest, they cannot give us direct orders. Huitong and I took the initiative to ask for orders to go north this time. I will be stationed at Guyang Pass, while Huitong will enter the Beiming Sea."
Li Xiudao: "Speaking of Guyang Pass, you haven't been alive for a long time. Now that you decide to go back, aren't you afraid that you won't be able to pay the job to the general?"
The one-eyed old man said: "You can rest assured about this. Don't forget that I still have a clone. I have been practicing here for a long enough time. If nothing happens, the clone should be able to handle a lot of things for me."
Li Xiudao: "It's rare that you have abandoned demons and practiced Taoism to reach the current situation in more than a year. It's time to return your original demon relics to you. If you go back without the demon relics, I'm afraid it will be easy for others to see through!"
Li Xiu returned the demon relic to the one-eyed old man. Back then at White Horse Lake, the one-eyed old man used this demon relic to fight Li Xiu. Now that he has given up the demon relic and practiced Taoism, he has a profound destiny, and the demon relic has no direct influence on him. It worked. Li Xiu gave the demon relic to the one-eyed old man for the same purpose as when he made an amulet for the young prince in order to protect him. They were all to prevent others from prying into him, so as not to cause death. After all, there is a crouching tiger in the capital. Dragon, be careful.
The one-eyed old man took the demon relic, with a rare hint of gratitude and complexity on his face. This thing had followed him for most of his life. He had never imagined that he would reach the point where he is today, abandoning demons and practicing Taoism. Bringing the demon relics with him also has an effect, that is, it tests his mind at all times, which is equivalent to helping him practice.
"The matter has come to an end. I will teach you the new method later. I will talk about the cultivation resources in a while. It just so happens that I have important things to solve right now!" Li Xiudao.
On this point, no one has any opinion.
"Oh, by the way, I almost forgot one thing!" Li Xiu slapped his forehead, and then took out something from the Dharma Ring. This Dharma Ring was obtained after killing Master Gray Eyes. It contained only a mysterious card. Apart from this, there was nothing else of value, which Li Xiu and Li Ruocheng felt very strange at first.
Li Xiu handed the mysterious card to the one-eyed old man. The card is golden in color, but the material is like gold but not gold, like iron but not iron. There are two ancient characters engraved on one side: voucher. The other side has a pattern of two snakes intertwined, resembling a swastika.
"What is this?" Everyone became curious.
The one-eyed old man looked over and over for a long time, but couldn't see anything and shook his head. After a while he said: "How did you get this card?"
Li Xiudao: "It's exactly what I got from killing Master Gray Eyes."
The one-eyed old man said: "This is probably related to the Beiminghai ruins. It's a pity that it has been so long. I wonder if this thing can still be effective? It would be better if it was taken out earlier. This is not an ancient object, it should be Gray Eyes I found some clues and traded things with others. It’s strange, maybe there is still someone protecting the Beiminghai ruins?”
Li Xiudao: "Your idea coincides with mine. Since you said that the main purpose of Master Gray Eyes going to Beiminghai is to find the ruins of Beiminghai Cave Mansion, then this thing may be able to solve some mysteries. "
