It can be seen from Chen Guanzhu's words that he had already made a guess in his mind before, but he was never sure. But now, after seeing the new relief content, he has confirmed his guess.
"Taishang Palace?" Cui Yingxiong seemed to have some understanding of Taishang Palace, and asked in astonishment, "There was a semi-saint Taishang Palace a thousand years ago?"
"Yes, it's Taishang Gong, it's Taishang Gong!"
Gu Yuan didn't know what Guanzhu Chen was excited about. In his impression, Guanzhu Chen was still a very calm person, but now his expression was so excited that it was indescribable.
The "half-saint" in Cui Yingxiong's mouth seemed to be quite powerful, but it was a pity that Gu Yuan knew nothing about it. Maybe if Kong Baihe was here, he could "explain" it for Gu Yuan.
"The Taoist sect left by the Taoist ancestors has been passed down for thousands of years. The last orthodox one is the Taishang Palace. The half-saint in the Taishanggong was also favored by heaven. According to rumors, the semi-saint once had the hope of attaining the Tao and ascending to heaven. But strangely, The fortune of the Taoist sect was stolen, and the Half-Saint and Taishang Palace were already of the same lineage. At this point, there is no hope for the Half-Saint to ascend, and the orthodox Taoist sect has since fallen apart..." Cui Yingxiong said softly, and looked at Chen Guanzhu again, "Chen Guanzhu, I Is that right?"
Guanzhu Chen nodded with a wry smile, and then said: "Our Qingyun Temple is also one of the branches of the Taoist sect. The luck of the Taishang Palace was stolen. From then on, the Taoist sect entered decline and could no longer produce half-saints. The seven half-saints The disciples ran away and established separate sects. I wanted to leave the Taoist sect and not be implicated, but I still couldn't completely separate..."
On the relief at the back, what you see is a man sitting cross-legged on the top of the mountain. A lotus exudes luck and merges into his body. Then, the lotus withers, the man looks up to the sky and screams, and the sword rainbow flies past.
"This, this..." Chen Guanzhu's body trembled slightly. He stretched out his hand and pointed at the man on the relief. His eyes were red and he roared, "It's it! It's this evil obstacle that stole the Taoist's luck!"
Gu Yuan frowned and continued to stare at the relief.
The content of the next relief returned to the academy. The man was in a bamboo forest, and the slender bamboo leaves were floating in the air and gathering towards him.
"This is the aura of a Confucian gentleman..." Chen Guanzhu gritted his teeth, "This evil obstacle first stole the Taoist fortune in Taishang Palace, and after he became capable, he returned to the Confucian Academy and stole the Confucian fortune. After that, Within a thousand years of Confucianism, no one can enter Confucianism or become a Confucian literary sage, because of this evil obstacle!"
Cui Yingxiong's eyelids twitched.
It is extremely difficult for the demon clan to become a demon god. Even in their eyes, the position of demon god only exists in myths.
I have never seen any demons and gods, and there is no record of how terrifying they are. If they really became "gods", how could the human race still continue to this day? Who can withstand the offensive of demons and gods?
But now, Cui Yingxiong feels that if the content on the relief is true, it seems that it is not impossible for a demon clan to absorb the luck of Confucianism and Taoism from the human race and combine it with its own practice to become a demon god.
"This monster is really capable and generous!" Cui Yingxiong said in a deep voice, "A monster can steal the fate of human beings. Even after seeing these reliefs, I can't imagine how it does it. .”
Chen Guanzhu's face turned pale and he said bitterly: "Stealing the luck of the human race to achieve one's own success, and making it impossible for the human race to produce a saint, is killing two birds with one stone. Tsk... The demon clan actually has such a monster, damn it!"
The content of the relief is still continuing.
After the monster stole the Confucian luck, it went through another battle. On the relief, the human monks and the Confucian masters launched a siege and severely damaged the monster. However, the monster that had stolen the luck was able to escape. Fortunately, Unfortunately, when he was seriously injured, the monster was taken in by a temple.
For a long time, the monster stayed in the temple and went to the back mountain to meditate from time to time. Gu Yuan didn't understand it at first. Cui Yingxiong explained from the side: "It still needs time to refine its luck."
Gu Yuan suddenly realized.
The strong men of the human race may have noticed something was wrong with it. Regardless of whether it was a human or a demon, it had become the public enemy of Taoism and Confucianism.
But no one would have thought that under such circumstances, this evil obstacle would actually be hiding in Buddhism.
While hiding his identity, he is also refining the luck of the human race.
But from this point of view, it is not without reason that this demon clan can become a demon god. He knows how to lie dormant and seize opportunities. He has big plans from the beginning and can be methodical even in the face of danger.
Even if he didn't steal luck, Gu Yuan felt that this monster could still occupy a very high position in the monster clan.
Now it seems that the demon clan is willing to leave its deeds of slaying demons and slaying demons in the form of reliefs, not only because it finally became a demon god, but more importantly, perhaps because it slayed demons and slew demons just for the better. He hid himself to pave the way for stealing the destiny of the human race.
This is "undercover". For the demon clan, it is certainly worthy of praise. Even if it does not become a demon god, it can be regarded as a hero of the demon clan just for stealing the luck of the human race.
What Gu Yuan noticed was that every time the monster meditated, it was under a bodhi tree. When Gu Yuan walked forward again, he saw the monster attaining enlightenment again under the bodhi tree, above the sky. , is a huge image of the Buddha.
The vision that Master Tianming had when he came out of the Pagoda seemed to be somewhat similar to this.
Seeing this scene, Guanzhu Chen almost had high blood pressure.
"Damn it! This is really damned!" As he said this, Guanzhu Chen laughed angrily, "It's ridiculous, a great Buddhist sect actually let a monster cast a golden body of Dharma under a Buddhist tree!"
"Is this a Buddha?" Gu Yuan whispered.
Cui Yingxiong glanced at him and said angrily: "It's not that simple. If he really became a Buddha, he would still be a demon god. Master Tianming, haven't you seen it? It's similar to this. They are all made of gold. Although they are far apart, We are still far from becoming a Buddha, but for Buddhist disciples, this is already a very remarkable achievement."
"Tsk..." No wonder Chen Guanzhu is so angry. He first stole the Taoist fortune, then took away the Confucian awe-inspiring righteousness, and now he casts the golden body of the Buddhist Dharma under the Buddhist tree. It seems that it has taken away all the good things in the world. .
These achievements, taken alone, are very remarkable things for human monks.
Cui Yingxiong sighed and said: "The thing about luck sounds illusory, but it is real. When this monster steals the Taoist luck, it will have great fortune, and everything will be smooth sailing afterwards, so it makes sense."
Gu Yuan realized something. He just nodded slightly when he suddenly heard the sound of a bell coming from the front.
"This is this?" Gu Yuan listened to the distant bells with a puzzled expression on his face. He walked forward, looking at the flowers at the same time, relying on his memory to memorize the rest of the reliefs. .
After probably walking a few hundred meters, Gu Yuan and others stopped again. In front of them, a high platform appeared out of thin air, and on the high platform stood a figure.
The other person had his back to them and stood with his hands behind his back, as if watching something.
When Gu Yuan saw the other party, he immediately felt familiar, and his mind went back to the day when chaos broke out in Happy Valley.
At this moment, Gu Yuan clenched his fists, and murderous intent burst out in his eyes.
"It's really you!"
There had been speculations before, and all kinds of coincidences made it difficult for Gu Yuan not to think about it.
When Luo Tianhan saw this person, he immediately became furious, and the murderous aura burst out from his body.
"After being secretive for a long time, I finally dare to show my face and turn my face around!"
The other party seemed to have heard Luo Tianhan's words, and turned around with a smile. His eyes were soft, and his eyes were sharp. Judging from his appearance, he looked quite upright, but his temperament was a bit sinister.
His slender fingers gently pressed on the wooden railing.
"I've been waiting for you here for a long time." He said softly.
Although his voice is not loud, every word he speaks is heard very clearly.
Gu Yuan took a deep breath, his expression extremely serious.
The last time he was in Happy Valley, Gu Yuan knew that the other party was a master, but it was only today that he learned from Cui Yingxiong that the other party was actually an S-level formation master!
Cui Yingxiong stared at him, frowned, and suddenly said: "This shouldn't be your true face, right?"
Some people died, but not completely...
