Rinkang.
The capital of the Southern Jin Dynasty.
Like most cities in the world, it is home to the richest and most powerful people. It also houses the poorest and most ordinary people.
After passing through the straight and prosperous Imperial Street, there is a stretch of short alleys. The street is extremely narrow, and most of the area is taken up by the sheds erected randomly by residents, making it extremely crowded. Walking along it requires constantly dodging protruding pieces of iron and wood, and guarding against the dirt thrown by people in the sheds. Sprinkling water on the body is not an easy thing for many people.
Ye Su stepped on old bricks cushioned in the sewage and walked forward in the turbid air and noisy scoldings.
He was in ragged clothes, unkempt, and exuded a disgusting sour smell. His expression was indifferent, but his eyes were extremely clear.
After the fall of Lanke Temple, he was sealed in the snowy mountains and seas by Yulian City. He was originally a powerful person at the peak of knowing destiny, but he became a mortal overnight.
After pondering what Yu Liancheng said, he did not seek help from the Xiling Temple or the unknowable Taoist temple. Instead, he traveled around the world to see the various conditions in the world.
Until today.
Soon, Ye Su came to a dilapidated thatched house.
"Brother Ye Su."
"Brother Ye Su, you are back."
There were two children in the same ragged clothes in the thatched house. When they saw Ye Su, they showed bright and happy smiles.
Ye Su gave the two steamed buns in his arms to each of the children, but the two children only took one of the steamed buns to eat. The other steamed bun stubbornly refused to accept it and asked Brother Ye Su to eat it.
A faint smile appeared on Ye Su's face, his stomach growled, and he was really hungry, so he didn't refuse anymore.
He looked up at the sky, took the steamed bun, and began to eat it. His mind could not help but recall the scenes he had seen during this period.
The shepherd boy riding on the back of a cow plays the flute leisurely, which together with the pastoral scenery forms a very beautiful landscape painting. But because he came back late, he was whipped by the squire. Not only was his salary for this month lost, but he was also beaten all over his body.
The old man has reached the age where his children and grandchildren surround him and he can live in peace and contentment, but he still runs a small noodle stall. This is not because of love, but because his wife died early and his children are unfilial. Not only do they refuse to support the elderly, but they often punch and kick the elderly to keep the only money they have.
The beggar on the street was chased and bitten by vicious dogs just for a boring gamble. But the beggar didn't know how to unleash his potential, so he picked up a stone and killed the vicious dog, which made the beggar furious. Let the beggar wrap himself in sackcloth and show mourning for the vicious dog, and walk around the street for three days, suffering all the humiliation.
The instructor sent by the temple kicked away the believer who came to ask for help. He even felt that the other person's face insulted his holy soles. He changed his shoes in disgust and punished the temple knight for improper guarding. Come to the door, then beat him to death.
A practitioner of the Dongxuan Realm killed many people, but he still stood high and no one dared to arrest him. Not only because of his superb cultivation, but also because he was related to a certain nobleman in the palace.
"Those who do good are rarely rewarded, but those who do evil are blessed with long life."
Picture after picture passed in front of Ye Su's eyes, and he gradually understood what Yu Liancheng meant, sighing softly: "Haotian is a collection of rules, but Haotian also has shortcomings, the Great Dao is fifty, Tianyan is forty-nine, The Xiling Temple was supposed to replace the missing one, but now the Xiling Temple has become extremely decayed..."
"Perhaps people need the support of faith to live in the world. Haotian is the rule. People should not worship the rules, but should hold the rules in their hands and let people interpret the doctrines by themselves..."
At this moment, Ye Su figured out a lot of things.
Unknowingly, the restriction in the snowy mountain air and sea in his body was lifted.
No, to be more precise, this restriction turned into a pure force and merged into the snowy mountain air and sea.
As a result, Ye Su, who had not practiced for several months, not only did not decline in strength, but also improved to a higher level.
But Ye Su didn't pay attention at this moment, but was immersed in his own thoughts.
His eyes became brighter and brighter, and he planned to found a new religion and replace the teachings of Xiling Temple with the teachings of the new religion.
He wants to change the world!
"By the way, there is it..."
Ye Su took out a book from under the table at the back of the thatched house that was used to cushion the table's legs.
——The Book of Heaven's Sand Volume.
This was given to him by Yulian City in Washan.
To be honest, as a Taoist practitioner, he had already read the six volumes of the Heavenly Book, but since Yulian City handed over the Heavenly Book to him again, he thought there must be a mystery in it.
In the past, Ye Su had read the sand scroll many times, but he opened it anyway, as if it was sealed by a mysterious force.
At this time, he mobilized the trace of pure thought power integrated into the air of the snow mountain, and the sand scroll was easily opened.
The Sha Zijuan has been re-edited by Yu Liancheng, and what appears on the homepage is a line of text that shocks the mind.
——Heaven and earth are unkind and regard all things as stupid dogs.
"This, this is..."
And the words that followed made Ye Su even take a deep breath.
…
Tang Dynasty.
The most powerful country in the world.
Thousands of years ago, the Tang Dynasty was founded.
Due to issues of faith, Xiling Temple manipulated the Seventeen Kingdoms to conquer the Tang Dynasty behind the scenes, but the result was a disastrous failure.
After this battle, the Tang Empire established its status as a heroic ruler for thousands of years in the world, and even the Xiling Temple had to pinch its nose to admit it.
To this day, Haotian Dao is still widely spread in the Tang Empire, but it does not mean that the Xiling Temple can have as sacred and lofty status as in other countries.
In the Tang Dynasty, it was no longer the Xiling Temple that conveyed Haotian's will, but the South Gate of Haotian Dao.
Although the South Gate of Haotian Dao is actually a subordinate institution of the Xiling Temple, and those who practice Haotian Dao, after hundreds of years of dissemination, the South Gate of Haotian Dao has unswervingly stood on the side of the Tang Dynasty regardless of emotional inclination or position choice. This side.
It is precisely because of this that some paranoid Taoists in the Xiling Temple always believe that the people in the South Sect are more hateful and rebellious than the Demon Sect.
For the same reason, the Tang Empire also had great trust in the South Gate of Haotian Dao.
The south gate of Haotian Dao is inside Chang'an City and outside the south gate of the Imperial City.
It was a Taoist temple shaded by countless green trees. It was beautiful and peaceful, without much of a sacred and solemn feeling.
In a side hall deep inside the Taoist temple, two Taoists were sitting at the end of the dark wooden boards.
One of them was wearing a dark Taoist robe, with a bright yellow belt given by the emperor around his waist. He looked like a master of Taoism. This person was Li Qingshan, the Priest of Nanmen and officially canonized by the emperor.
Sitting across from him was a tall, thin old man. The old man was wearing a dirty Taoist robe. The Taoist robe was stained with countless grease stains and his triangular eyes flashed with obscene looks. Facing the lofty Imperial Master of the Tang Dynasty, he raised his feet high and showed no respect at all. I'm afraid even the current emperor of the Tang Dynasty would not be so rude.
And Yan Se, the only Talisman Master at the South Gate of Haotian Dao, was the only one in the entire Tang Kingdom who could act so frivolously.
This Talisman Master, who is famous in the spiritual world, once crossed out Liu Bai's eyebrows. He is Li Qingshan's senior brother and the guardian of the entire Chang'an City.
Li Qingshan looked at the teacup on the eucalyptus and said, "Senior brother, how are you doing lately?"
"It's still the same." The old Taoist priest responded casually, staring at a beautiful middle-aged female Taoist official passing by outside the corridor, and she walked away shyly.
Li Qingshan smiled bitterly. This senior brother looked like a lustful ghost, but in fact he was a pure yang disciple. He did not dare to break his oath to get close to women, but he also behaved in a debauched manner. Thinking of the two things that happened recently, the Imperial Master's expression became serious and he said, "Brother, have you heard? Over there in the Southern Jin Dynasty, our Taoist sect founded a new religion, which made the Xiling Temple angry."
Yan Se said nonchalantly: "Oh, really? Is the Protestant religion really so powerful?"
Li Qingshan said solemnly: "There was not much movement in the beginning of the Protestantism, but then in a short period of time, it swept through most of the Southern Jin Dynasty, and the speed was extremely fast. I asked people to collect the teachings of the Protestantism, and the teachings were full of deception, seemingly It is similar to the teachings of the temple, but in fact it makes people put Haotian in a high cabinet, and it is better to ask for Haotian than for yourself."
Yan Se chuckled: "Haotian does not do things sometimes."
"Senior brother." Li Qingshan slapped the table and yelled angrily.
"Senior brother is wrong, senior brother is wrong, you continue." Yan Se surrendered decisively.
Li Qingshan said: "In addition to re-editing and explaining the teachings, more importantly, the Protestant religion also spreads the Demon Sect's techniques."
"Demon Sect Kung Fu?" Yan Se frowned slightly and became slightly serious.
"Yes, it is indeed a Demon Sect technique. But it is different from the real Demon Sect technique."
Li Qingshan said: "First of all, the possibility of the exercises spread by the Protestant religion becoming evil is very small. Unlike the previous demon sect exercises, there are not even one practitioner out of ten. Secondly, this exercise does not directly absorb the vitality of heaven and earth, but Generate something called internal force in the body, which is equivalent to the power of thought. After practicing Zhenqi, it is equivalent to entering the acquired realm, and the acquired realm has ten levels. After transcending the acquired realm, you reach the innate, and the innate is the two bridges that communicate between heaven and earth. , absorbing the energy of heaven and earth into the body is the real way to become a demon. It is said that there will be some realms after that..."
"In addition, the teachings of the Protestant religion also put forward the saying that 'people who come from Haotian will also return to the embrace of Haotian'. That is to say, after a practitioner dies, no matter whether he is a demon sect monk before him or not, after death, The thought power or internal power of the latter body will be re-integrated into Haotian, fundamentally solving the argument that the Demon Sect monks are illegitimate."
Yan Se shook his head and said: "I'm afraid the people in Xiling Temple will jump in haste. With the new religion, who will believe in them?"
Li Qingshan said: "The temple has sent the Pantheon cavalry to encircle and suppress the Protestant religion, and Ye Su, a Taoist sect, has become the most wanted criminal. However, most of the temple cavalry will return in vain. Not to mention the many followers of the Protestant religion, Ye Su himself is A great monk at the peak of his destiny, and it is said that he has the support of Jiange."
Yan Se smiled and said: "Junior brother, please rest assured. If the Protestant religion wants to develop, you have to ask the Taoist temple behind Taoshan. Even if it can really sweep into the Tang Dynasty, and Master is still there to support it, if he doesn't let the Protestant religion spread in the Tang Dynasty Who dares to disobey preaching? On the contrary, if Master acquiesces in the spread of Protestantism, and the flood continues, how can you and I be able to stop it?"
"Senior brother, you are still as big-hearted as ever." Li Qingshan smiled bitterly and shook his head: "But the next thing will have to do with you."
"oh?"
Li Qingshan's expression became more and more serious: "According to the news from the Xiling Temple, Yulian City has descended from Mogan Mountain and is heading to the Tang Kingdom. If nothing else happens, I'm afraid his goal is Chang'an."
"Again!?" Yan Se covered his head in pain: "Years ago, Wei Guangming came. He was very cunning. He hasn't been found yet, and now another Yulian City came. One by one, they really took Chang'an for granted. At home? It will cause trouble to others." At this point, he stood up and left.
"Senior brother, you want to leave?"
"Go and see the Shocking God Formation. Wei Guangming is already a headache. This Yulian City is ten times more troublesome than Wei Guangming." Yan Se left the South Gate Taoist Temple with an impatient tone.
"Chang'an is not stable, and the palace is not stable either." Seeing his senior brother leave, Li Qingshan sighed and looked in the direction of the palace: "It's been a troubled time."
In the spring of the thirteenth year of the Tang Empire's apocalypse.
Li Yu, the princess who married far away from the grassland, is back.
This princess has always been at odds with the queen.
The fundamental reason for the discord between the two was that Li Yu wanted to push his younger brother to the position of prince, and the queen also had a son. This open and covert struggle involves the very foundation of the country...
Of course, everything must wait for His Majesty’s decision.
His Majesty seems to be in the prime of his life, but he has been injured for many years.
Few people know that this time the princess returned to Chang'an with many difficulties, and she also relied on the help of a soldier from the border town.
This border town soldier is called Ning Que, and he has a maid named Sang Sang.
…
…………
Chang'an is the most majestic city in the world.
Yulian City is among the most powerful cities in the world.
The light rain on the sky street is as moist as crisp, the color of grass looks far away but is not there up close.
Chang'an is shrouded in this hazy spring rain, but even so, it is still extremely lively. The streets are full of people, holding oil-paper umbrellas, and even walking on the streets with their hands behind their hands, letting the rain wet their clothes, holding on to their clothes. Extremely chic.
Of course, most of the people who do this are men. Women's clothes are thin and light. If they get wet by the rain and stick tightly to their delicate bodies, tsk tsk, it's wonderful, wonderful...
Men in the Tang Dynasty are particularly simple in their clothing, with tight sleeves, short lining and flat shoes looking particularly neat.
Of course, Yuliancheng swept away all men, and the most important ones were those Chang'an women.
Their outfits are very cool, and can even be described as naked. Even though it has been raining for several days, you can still see women and girls with their arms bare outside their sarong sleeves. Some charming young women are actually wearing tube tops on the street. The white and tender ravines on their chests are very eye-catching.
At this moment, Yu Liancheng fell in love with Chang'an.
He walked along the long street, admiring the scenery of Chang'an.
Soon, Yu Liancheng saw an acquaintance.
The man came from the other end of the long street. He was an old man with withered hair and shawl shoulders. His face was thin and his eyes were calm, but he seemed to contain the most holy brilliance in the world.
——Great Priest of Guangming, Wei Guangming.
There seemed to be a layer of faint radiance on his body, and his whole person was dust-free, as if he were a priest who had stepped down from the Kingdom of Haotian.
But no one seemed surprised that such a dazzling and bright priest was walking in the busy city.
Yu Liancheng walked up to Wei Guangming and saw that he didn't hold an umbrella, so he kindly handed the black umbrella turned into "Wan Dao Wuji" to him and said with a smile: "Why don't you hold an umbrella? You old bones are soaked in the rain. Be careful if you catch a cold."
"Rain falls from the Kingdom of God in the sky to wash away the filth in the world. Why do we need to hold an umbrella?" Wei Guangming said calmly, without any intention of taking the umbrella.
"Okay, I won't lift it if you don't want to, that's a lot to say." Yu Liancheng shrugged.
Wei Guangming frowned, always feeling that there was some ambiguity in this sentence.
After a moment, he shook his head and said solemnly: "You asked me to come to Chang'an, but I didn't find the existence I was looking for."
"That's because the time has not come yet." Yu Liancheng smiled.
"When will the time come?" Wei Guangming said.
"Now."
Yu Liancheng stopped a passerby and asked where the forty-seventh lane was. He greeted Wei Guangming: "Come with me." Then he strode out.
Wei Guangming thought for a moment and finally followed Yu Liancheng.
Not long after, the two came to Alley 47 facing the street. After seeing that the door with the plaque "Lao Bi Zhai" was closed, Yu Liancheng sat in front of a noodle stall nearby and ordered two bowls of hot and sour noodle soup. The boss added more spicy pepper to one bowl and turned to Wei Guangming and said, "We are old friends, so I'll treat you to this bowl of hot and sour noodle soup."
Wei Guangming frowned more and more.
"Okay, don't stand around like this, sit down. You've been in Chang'an City for so long, what's the harm in waiting a little longer?"
Helpless, Wei Guangming finally sat down.
Yu Liancheng ignored Wei Guangming and watched the noodle stall owner cooking noodles curiously.
The boss is a middle-aged man, but it takes at least ten years of work to make hot and sour noodle soup.
The kitchen knife fell on the not very clean cutting board, chopped green onion and coriander into fine pieces, and started to put soy sauce, vinegar and other seasonings in the bowl.
After the water in the pot boils, tear the dough in the pot into irregular shapes, throw them into the boiling water one by one, quickly shape them, and then start to rise and fall.
A large spoon was put into the pot and stirred. When it was taken out, it was filled with cooked noodles, which were as white and elastic as fish fat. There was not a single piece left in the pot, and there was exactly one third of the soup in the spoon.
The whole movement is clean and crisp.
In one word, professional.
The soup noodles were poured into the bowl, and an unusually rich yet fragrant sour and spicy fragrance appeared on the slightly dirt table, followed by the smell of coriander and chopped green onion.
Yu Liancheng took a big bite and tasted it. It tasted really good. Because he put a lot of spicy food in this bowl, it tasted very refreshing.
Wei Guangming hesitated for a moment, tasted a few mouthfuls, and couldn't stop eating Kuaizi anymore.
Snapped!
Snapped! Snapped!
At this moment, there was a rapid and messy sound, and the sound of thick-soled shoes stepping into the rain.
There were waves of exclamations on the long street, but a dark figure broke into the middle of Alley 47.
He was a very young man, and his originally black face looked a little blue due to excessive blood loss. If you look closely, you will see that he is covered in blood, with quite shocking wounds, and the most conspicuous and miserable one is between the chest and abdomen. The black clothes are broken, blood is flowing horizontally, and the bones and organs are exposed. I am afraid that the legendary None of the practitioners could save him.
"The military is hunting for spies, but idlers are running away!"
A moment later, a burst of rapid footsteps sounded, and dozens of Imperial Guardsmen of the Tang Dynasty rushed into the streets in the rain, surrounding the black-faced man under the corner. The general who led the team was obviously relieved when he saw the black-faced man's injury. Take a breath.
The Great Priest of Guangming only immersed himself in eating hot and sour noodle soup. Everything in this world seemed to have nothing to do with him.
Suddenly, Wei Guangming raised his head and looked towards the other end of the street.
He saw a young man and woman watching the excitement.
The boy was about fifteen or sixteen years old. He had black hair, whether it was natural or the result of not washing it for several years. It was a little frizzy and greasy, but his face was clean and hygienic, making his eyebrows and eyes particularly clear. The freckles on the cheeks are also particularly clear. At this moment, he stared at the Imperial Guard and the injured black man, clenching his fists as if suppressing something.
Wei Guangming only glanced at the young man's face, but focused on the maid beside him.
The girl, who was only twelve or thirteen years old, was short and thin, with dark complexion and ordinary eyebrows. She was holding a book tied with a rope in one hand and a box of Chen Jin Kee's powder in the other.
In Wei Guangming's eyes.
This girl is so pure.
It was as pure as a bright light, without any ink.
Even Wei Guangming, the Great Priest of Light, is far from comparable.
Wei Guangming couldn't help but put down his kuaizi and walked towards the girl. His face was pious and respectful, as if he was a devout believer in pursuit.
Yu Liancheng ignored him. After finishing a bowl of hot and sour noodle soup, he threw down two pieces of silver and left the noodle stall. He glanced in the direction of the Royal Forest Army inadvertently, waved his sleeves casually, and walked in the direction of the Great Priest of Light.
"what happened?"
"Where is the person? He's missing?"
On the other side, the imperial guard who had already lifted the man in black was stunned.
Because the man suddenly disappeared right in front of them without any warning, which was more incredible than the most incredible trick.
But the man in black was clearly injured and dying.
But the person did disappear, disappearing right under their noses.
The leader of the Royal Forest Army had a very ugly expression on his face. He looked around and shouted, "Search for me!"
"Even if we dig three feet into the ground, we still have to find him. How can he still fly into the sky and escape?"
"By the way, here comes another person to report what just happened to the south gate of Haotian Dao."
So the Royal Guards dispersed, and the surrounding crowd gradually dispersed. However, the bizarre scene that happened today is destined to spread.
Ning Que also saw the previous scene and felt slightly relieved. Although he didn't know why Xiao Hei disappeared, it was at least better than falling into the hands of the Yulin Army.
Ning Que originally planned to take Sangsang and disperse with the neighbors, but before he could take a step forward, he was blocked by an old man who looked at his maid named Sangsang.
"This damn old man is blind. Even if he is a pervert, he shouldn't have his thoughts on Sangsang..." Ning Que cursed in his heart, and when he was about to push the old man away, the old man said in a trembling voice. : "You, are you the messenger of light? Are you from the Kingdom of God?"
"What the hell? Did you meet an old madman?"
Ning Que went to push the old thing, but it remained motionless, like a majestic sacred mountain, but full of infinite light.
"Hey, Wei Guangming, be careful not to scare the child." Yu Liancheng came over with a smile and patted Lao Wei on the shoulder: "This old man has something wrong with his head, please be more patient."
Then he looked at Ning Que and said with a smile: "I know you want to enter the academy, so it's best to become your teacher. Master is several stories high, but you can do one thing in the future, Master But you can never do it, you are the strongest person."
"What?"
Ning Que frowned, not understanding what was going on with the two guys in front of him.
"This is Haotian's world. No matter how powerful I am, I can't compare to Haotian. At most, it can be as high as the sky, but you can reach three inches into the sky." Yulian City gave a thumbs up to Ning Que: "This point, I want to learn from you."
Ning Que: "..."
Could it be that I didn’t check the date when I went out today and met two mentally ill guys?
"Okay, you guys can chat slowly. I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."
Yu Liancheng left with a smile, leaving two final words for Wei Guangming.
"Absolute light is absolute darkness."
"It's time to pay back the debt you owed back then."
