Daomen, along the way, I saw that the other side has become a lot more depressed, and is no longer as prosperous as before.
If it were in the past, you could often see the saints from the other side studying everywhere, going to various Taoist scenes and delving into the mysteries of the Taoist scenes.
You can also see the saints on the other side who are full of martial virtues, going to war with each other and scalping the losers. However, this scene is much less now, and it has become a bit deserted.
They returned to the Tai-Dao Sect and saw that the Tai-Dao Sect had just opened the She'an Palace, and some disciples were coming out of the palace. When they saw the five of them, they were all shocked, thinking they had seen a ghost.
Xu Ying asked why. When the disciple saw him, he was horrified and said: "Our Taiyi Sect has been closed for twenty-eight years to avoid disaster. Master has ordered that no one can go out and stay at the Taoist Gate to avoid disaster.
Just got out of lockdown today. The five senior brothers came back from outside. Could it be that they are dead and their ghosts have returned?
Senior brothers, don’t do any harm! "Taoist Wukong saw that he was speaking rudely, so he stepped forward and beat him.
The disciple said happily: "Senior brother, the yang energy is so strong that it seems that he is not a ghost."
Taoist Wukong sent him away.
They entered She'an Palace, and soon the Nine Monks and Taoists hurried over. Seeing the five of them, they exclaimed: "What a living creature!"
Taoist Wukong thought that he could not defeat him, so he did not step forward.
Xu Ying asked: "Brother Nine Monks, the Taoist sect has been closed for twenty-eight years. What happened?"
The nine monks and Taojun said in surprise: "You don't know?"
Xu Ying shook his head.
The Nine Monks Taojun said: "Teacher Taiyi has calculated that there will be disaster on the other side, so let us recall all the disciples who are outside, seal She'an Palace, and strictly prohibit anyone from going out, so as not to bring disaster. During the twenty-eight years that we have been closed, The world was in chaos, and more than two hundred immortals died one after another. Others suffered countless casualties. "
Xu Ying was frightened - jumped, more than two hundred immortals died?
Dao Lord Jiuhen whispered: "I heard that the three great masters wanted to choose people to be the dead ghosts to avoid disaster. Therefore, most of the more than 200 immortals who died were used as sacrifices. Resurrection Dao Master Such existence."
When Xu Ying heard this, his heart moved slightly. It would take about forty or fifty immortals to resurrect a Tao Master-level existence. Sacrificing more than two hundred immortals can revive four or five Tao masters.
It seems that in addition to Ji Cang, there are three or four Taoist masters who have been resurrected.
Jiuhen said: "To resurrect these Tao masters, we need to lay out a plan, hang bait, and lure the immortals into the trap. When the immortals are attracted, other people at the seventh and eighth levels of the Tao realm will naturally be attracted too. As a result, there are countless casualties. The immortals who have died in these years, Adding all kinds of things together, there are three to four hundred people. That is to say, the Bian'an family has a great cause, so there is no problem. "
Even before this calamity, hundreds of immortals died or were injured because of the promise. Adding in the immortals who died during this calamity, there were indeed three to four hundred people. Coupled with the hollowing out of power caused by the death of these immortals, the latecomers fought for power and profit, and the sky was dark and the earth was dark.
Xu Ying and others went to Zhaojie and did not realize that a catastrophe was happening on the other side. But for the people on the other side, this was a catastrophe. !
Many disciples in Daojitian Palace were killed or injured in this catastrophe. Only our Taiyi Sect escaped this catastrophe because we retreated early.
Lord of the Nine Hate Dao, we originally thought that the only losses from the Taiyi Sect were the five of you, but we didn’t expect that you could actually come back alive. What a pity... anomaly! What an anomaly!
"Will the other side decline because of this?" the Holy Lord asked maliciously.
Dao Lord Jiuhen said in surprise: "How could the other shore decline?"
The Holy Lord said: "So many masters have died on the other side, and three or four hundred of them are immortal. Why won't they decline?"
Daojun Jiuhen smiled and said, "That's it. I misunderstood Junior Brother Yuanhuang. Most of these immortals who died are from the other side of the ground. Only a small part of them are from the other side of the earth. Dao Jitian There is no damage and the strength is still there, so why did it decline? "
The Holy Lord frowned slightly.
Dao Lord Jiuhen continued: "What's more, this time it's not cutting off the flesh or scraping the bones to cure the poison, but exchanging blood. The immortals underground are jealous of Dao Ji Tian's immortal power and often secretly rebel and plot evil. So many people died this time. It’s also a good thing. Many immortals on the ground have also died. It’s just that we can bring in a group of people with extraordinary talents and understanding from other universes, and let them enter the other side and become saints. After they enter the other side, they are able to flourish. Why don’t they be grateful to the other side? "
When these words came out, not only the Holy Lord was stunned, but Qingxuan, Wukong and others also looked dull.
Only Shi Tianyang thought this was a matter of course. Seeing this situation, he thought to himself: "Three Realms Tu'ao."
Xu Ying said with a smile: "If they don't die, the people below will have no chance to climb up. After they die, there will be so many carrot pits. Those who climbed up and got into the carrot pits, aren't they grateful and loyal to the other side? Yes? Isn’t that true?”
The Nine Monks nodded and said with a smile, "Junior Brother Xu has already achieved Samadhi deeply."
Xu Ying laughed loudly and said, "This scene seems familiar."
At this time, True King Zongyi hurried over and said to Xu Ying: "Junior Brother Xu, Master has come out of seclusion. I want you to go see him."
Xu Ying said yes and followed him to Yaoguang Hall.
Lord Tai Da Dao is sitting on the futon, and his whole body is filled with a lofty aura, as if the Dao is mixed together, as deep as the flood source of the universe.
He is an old saint from the other side. He is physically powerful, but he does not have the aggressive aura of other old saints. Instead, he is very gentle and has the demeanor of an elder.
Xu Ying stepped forward to greet him and said, "This time Master came out of seclusion, has he achieved Taoism?"
Lord Tai-Dao shook his head and said: "There is still a small step left. It is not that easy to become a Taoist master. Although the Xuanhuang Dao Realm Sutra is exquisite, it is not suitable for my Taiyi Dao. I can only learn from its mystery and practice for progress." If you want to achieve enlightenment, you still need some strength.”
His eyes fell on Xu Ying, and he couldn't help showing a shocked expression. He looked at her several times and said, "Xu Ying, are you going to achieve immortality?"
Xu Ying shook his head and said, "Disciple still has some skills left."
Taiyi Daojun looked at him with gentle eyes and said: "You must achieve immortality as soon as possible. Last time I retreated, I realized that the fate of the other side was uncertain and a great disaster was bound to happen, so I closed the She'an Palace and ordered you not to go out. But in this retreat, this feeling of whim has never gone away, and the misfortune on the other side is still there, just postponed. It will definitely come again in the near future."
He stood up slowly and said in a thick voice: "I'm afraid it will be difficult to survive the comeback in the future. It's impossible to say that our Taiyimen will have to survive in the tribulation of death. If you achieve immortality, you will be able to survive. The opportunity will be greater.”
He also has another purpose, which is to promise to achieve immortality and compete with his master and apprentice. He wants to take this opportunity to prove the Taoist Master in one fell swoop.
Xu Ying's heart moved slightly and he couldn't help but admire Tai Daojun's profound cultivation and astonishing Taoism.
Tao masters like Ji Cang were unable to sense the calamity due to their Taoist attainments, but Tai— could sense the calamity and react in advance. In terms of Taoism, he is no longer inferior to the Taoist Master.
Xu Ying said: "The next disaster on the other side will be in three thousand years."
Tai was slightly startled and looked questioning.
Xu Yingdao: "This disciple has practiced the path of calamity and has achieved some success. It can be seen that the next calamity on the other side will be three thousand years later."
Taida Daojun felt a sudden change in his heart and hurriedly asked for the reason. Xu Ying then took himself to Zhaojie. A disaster broke out in Zhaojie, triggering a killing and robbery. The story was told.
Taiyi Daojun immediately woke up and said: "This is the purpose of the four Dao Masters transferring the calamity from the other side to Zhaojie. They sent their respective disciples to control the calamity. Unexpectedly, you got it."
Xu Ying guessed this when he met Changsun Shenghai and others in Zhaojie, and he didn't make any mistakes.
Tai-daojun walked around and frowned: "The four Tao masters want to control the fate of tribulation. If they know that you have obtained the path of tribulation, they will definitely not tolerate you.
Xu Ying said with a smile: "Master, there is no need to worry. After returning to the Sea of Chaos, I communicated with them. Now their calamity attainments have also greatly improved. After they return, the four avenue masters will discover that their disciples have gained calamity." The way of luck is adequate.
Tai Da Daojun stopped, looked at him, and said nothing for a while.
Xu Ying asked tentatively: "Master?"
"I'm wondering whether to kill you."
Taiyi Daojun was very frank and said, "What you just said made me feel frightened. I always feel that it is inappropriate to keep you here."
A disaster on the other side will definitely cause a lot of disaster in the future. "
Xu Ying thought for a while and said: "Master, the purpose of keeping me is because my intelligence can enlighten Master and help you break through and become the Taoist Master of Taiyi Dao. It is more cost-effective to cultivate Taiyi Daomaster, or get rid of him More cost-effective? He lowered his head and smiled: "Does Tai-Dao Master think that he was not my opponent at that time? "
Taiyi Daodaojun snorted coldly, and said with a flick of his sleeves: "I guess you are right."
Don't tell anyone about the resurgence of misfortune on the other side three thousand years later. Understand?
Xu Ying nodded lightly.
Taiyi Daojun's eyes flashed and he said: "If this matter spreads, it will shake the hearts of the people on the other side. Many immortals will be in danger, and I am afraid that the universe below will also be alienated. Everything is not good..."
He waved his hand and told Xu Ying to step back.
After Xu Ying left, the nine monks came to the hall, Tai Daojun said: "I heard that Master Hua went to heaven for several years and has not returned. I want to go to Jiuqiu Mountain to see Master Luo and ask - 2." You guard the gate and don't let Xu Ying escape again."
The nine monks said yes.
Tai Dao Lord left in a hurry, and soon came to Jiuqiu Mountain to ask to see Master Luo.
Master Luo ordered someone to invite him to come to Ziguang Cave to meet him. Taiyi Daojun entered Ziguang Cave to pay homage. Master Luo said quickly: "Fellow Taoist, don't be so polite. You and I are contemporaries, how can we perform such a grand ceremony?"
Tai-daojundao "The master is the teacher, the Taoist brother is the master of the Tao. Respecting you is respecting the Tao, and you cannot disrespect it."
Taoist Master Luo smiled and asked, "Why are fellow Taoists here?"
Tai Zhengse said: "I heard that Master Hua went to Heaven for several years. I was worried about his safety, so I came to inquire."
Master Luo looked solemn and said: "Brother Hua Dao's cultivation strength is said to be second in the world, and no one dares to say that he is first. If he goes to the heaven realm, it will definitely be no big deal. Who dares to ask about how many years he has been out in Liuli? "
Tai-he hesitated for a moment and said: "With the revival of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth in the Heaven Realm, I am always worried that there will be some powerful existence hidden."
Dao Master Luo smiled and said: "Xuanhuang has died in the hands of Dao Master Hua. There are other Dao Masters in the Heaven Realm, and they may not be his opponents."
Tai - was still worried and said: "I will go back and make arrangements before heading to the heaven."
Taoist Luo didn't take it seriously and ordered someone to escort Taiyi Daojun away from Jiuqiu Mountain. He said with a smile: "Taiyi is a traitor but seems to be loyal. The whole family is full of rebels. He pretends to be loyal. Even I can't see the flaw."
Taiyi returned to the Taoist sect, only to see that Xu Ying was not in the Taoist sect. Not only was Xu Ying not there, the Nine Monks and others were also missing.
He called King Zongyi Zhen to ask, and King Zongyizhen said: "Junior Brother Xu was going out to ask Master Hunyuan to borrow his exercises for reference. Brother Nine Monks stopped him and refused to let him go out. Junior Brother Xu said Why don't Senior Brother accompany me to borrow it? Senior Brother Jiuhen will go out with him."
When Taiyi heard this, he couldn't help but laugh angrily: "Nine monks, are you a dog?
I asked you to look after the house, so it would be better for you to steal it together with the rebels!
He personally went to the Cave Heaven Paradise where Lord Hunyuan lived, and without waiting for notification, he broke in. Sure enough, he saw that Lord Hunyuan was beaten with a black nose and a swollen face, while Xu Ying was studying "Chaos Mahayana Enlightenment" by Lord Hunyuan. 》. As for the nine monks, they had no intention of making any mistakes and sat drinking tea.
Tai coughed, and the nine monks noticed him and stood up hurriedly: "Master, why are you here?"
Tai glared at him fiercely, stepped forward quickly, helped Taoist Hunyuan, and said with great shame: "Fellow Taoist Hunyuan, my discipline is not strict, which has hurt you. I will discipline these traitors strictly and eliminate them." Xiao, you are so angry! You evil disciple, why don’t you come over and apologize to fellow Taoist Hunyuan?”
Xu Ying and the nine monks came forward and apologized to Lord Hunyuan.
Daojun Hunyuan sneered: "Taiyi, your two disciples bullied me too much. Are you just going to apologize?"
The Nine Hate has cut off his millions of years of practice, so he has to show his sincerity by taking out the treasure!
Taiyi Daojun's face changed slightly, and he said with a pleasant expression: "Fellow Taoist Hunyuan, it is magnanimous to ask them to apologize to you, but if you have to ignore others, it is your fault. If you want to harm Taiyi disciples, you might as well Shall we sign up to the mountain?"
Taojun Hunyuan's face turned pale, and he said quickly: "I don't dare, I don't dare."
Taiyi Daodaojun called Xu Ying and Jiuhen and shouted: "Won't you go back with me?"
Xu Yingdao: "This disciple has not yet fully learned the secrets of Mahayana enlightenment."
Taiyi looked at Hunyuan Daojun.
Taojun Hunyuan smiled apologetically and said, "It doesn't matter if you take this stone tablet back to your house. I'll just send it back after you finish studying."
"Thank you Taoist friend Tong Qian Dali." Taiyi bowed.
Daojun Hunyuan returned the courtesy: "Don't dare."
Xu Ying then followed Taiyi back to She'an Palace with the stone tablet engraved with the Mahayana Taoist formula.
Tai-Daojun Pan said: "Nine monks, you stay at the Taoist gate, as the master will take Xu Ying to the heavenly realm. This time, you must guard the gate and don't cause trouble again."
The nine monks were obedient.
Tai left with Xu Ying.
Jiuhen said: "Master has told me to guard the door and not cause trouble."
Taoist Wukong said: "My Taiyi sect is the leader of all Taoist sects in the world. Isn't it the majesty of the Nine Monks since the time of Haoyi?"
The Nine Monks thought for a while and said, "Okay, I'll let you go."
