【The interaction between grandfather and grandson】
[Old man, I know you are anxious, but please don’t be anxious]
[A demon king who doesn't want to blackmail Daozu is not a good emperor]
…
Ruoshui River Basin.
A jade seal floats in the calm water.
This jade seal is pure white and emits a faint glow. Its shape is like a gorgeous phoenix, with each feather carved vividly, as if it can spread its wings and fly at any time.
Amidst the myriad rays of light from the jade seal, there seemed to be a wandering ghost-like being floating about.
From a distance, he looked just like an ordinary ghost, shuttling through thousands of lights.
But when you look closely, you feel that it is distorted, upside down and chaotic. Its movements are indescribable and cannot be expressed in words.
And behind the plague ghost came the mumbling ghosts, the mad immortals, the crazy gods...
They wandered in the light, crowded out of the dark vortex, walked into a broad vision, infected the creatures there like a plague, and then walked like a mountain between heaven and earth.
"These should be enough. We can try to launch a surprise attack on Ruoshui Kingdom."
The plague ghost regained his sanity.
He looked at the creatures he had infected with one blood-red eye hanging on his cheek.
He nodded with satisfaction.
Since the day it was born, the ghost torturer has unconsciously set its sights on the Ruoshui Kingdom.
He was not allowed to invade Ruoshui’s territory before, but ever since he “picked up” this imperial seal of unknown origin in an unknown place, he has been able to ignore the protection of Ruoshui’s human race and act recklessly.
"That cruel ghost in the river seems to have set its sights on the Ruoshui Kingdom, and its methods are similar to mine. Why is that?"
Although the plague ghost was very disdainful of the river water abuse ghost, he still took Him seriously.
"Could it be that we two really come from the same source?"
The plague ghost stared at the imperial seal in his hand with his other empty and confused pupil, and fell into a brief confusion.
In fact, He didn't know where this imperial seal came from.
I only know that the power in it is useful to me and is very suitable for me.
The plague ghost uses it and can control it as easily as his own arm.
"No, to be precise, why do I feel like this is my body?"
The plague ghost stared at the imperial seal in front of him with a strange expression, and some scenes that did not exist in his experience flashed through his mind.
It seems that there is a big battle going on.
Then a certain being died.
It eventually became the imperial seal before us.
But the plague ghost knew that he was a newborn.
It is completely conceived by heaven and earth.
Or rather, it came into being as the times required.
Even if this is really my body, it is from my past life.
"Previous life..."
"Previous life..."
The plague ghost murmured almost paranoidly, as if trapped in some kind of karma.
"I don't have a past life!!!"
“Hahahaha~”
In the dark vortex behind him that was as big as a mountain, the ghosts' mumbling became more severe.
The mad immortal had tears in his eyes and let out an inexplicable howl. The crazy gods laughed loudly and shouted seven times in a row: Kill kill kill kill kill kill kill!
The space is distorting and the dark area is expanding, as if the clouds of doomsday are covering the rivers, making all vitality and all splendor sink into darkness.
At the same time, an invisible epidemic spread in the Ruoshui River Basin.
All those infected have white hair, some have human shapes and bird faces, some have leopard bodies and tiger tails, some are crazy or insane, and are extremely terrifying.
Such a commotion naturally alarmed the Ruoshui Kingdom, which was on strategic defense.
Zhuanxu urgently mobilized the country's forces to attack.
The Shadow Sword soared into the air.
On the bank of the Ruoshui River, the blood of the soldiers was boiling. They had the sunlight above their heads, the moonlight on their bodies, and the starlight under their feet. The unyielding fighting spirit was surging in their bodies.
A huge phantom appeared in the air, holding a blue sword in hand, swinging it up and down lightly, breaking through the floating clouds, and boundless murderous intent rolled in.
“Disperse!!”
The huge phantom looked down, and its boundless divine power swept away the negative forces and endless darkness in the Ruoshui River Basin.
The peerless formation that is ready to be launched possesses supreme majestic power, just like the mighty power of heaven, so vast and mighty that just one glance at it is enough to make people surrender.
The plague ghost, who had gone mad, did not fight with it.
Instead, he glanced at Zhuanxu from afar with the strange eyeballs hanging on his cheeks .
He withdrew.
"This disaster seems to have become much stronger."
Zhuanxu frowned, and looked at Ruoshui, who had calmed down again, with his deep eyes, and remained silent.
He never pursued easily.
The other party is not affected by human destiny. It would be even more troublesome if their home was robbed.
He turned back.
Continue to be on guard .
By the way, wait for reinforcements.
And soon, the first support troops arrived.
"Bei Zheng, I'm late, please forgive me!"
Ao Shun, the Dragon King of the North Sea, is a heroic and resolute man. His face looks as if it was carved by a knife or an axe. At first glance, he is more dignified than Ao Guang. Those who don’t know him might think he is the eldest of the four brothers.
Zhuanxu welcomed Ao Shun's arrival.
He personally went out of the hall and invited Ao Shun in.
“I’m so grateful to our good neighbor for coming!”
Zhuanxu enthusiastically took Ao Shun aside and had a long talk with him.
From the South to the North Sea, from ancient times to the present, from the former glory of the Dragon Clan to the in-depth cooperation between the two clans...
Zhuanxu's talk hit the nail on the head and made Ao Shun, a heroic man, excited.
He said excitedly, "Before I came here, I knew Bei Zheng was a world-class talent and a hero of the human race. Now I see that he is indeed a man of great talent and strategy, a leader who is rare in the world!"
This reaction was quite different from that of Xuan Yu, the high priest of the Wu clan of Gonggong.
But the effect is the same.
After communicating with the socially awkward Zhuanxu, both of them regarded Zhuanxu as a close friend!
Ao Shun, who was delighted to have a close friend, was very angry when he learned that the plague ghost had come to provoke Ruoshui Kingdom again.
"Although this is the first time I've met Bei Zheng, our two clans have been friends for a long time, and I've long considered Bei Zheng a brother."
"Now the enemy of my brothers is the enemy of our North Sea Dragon Clan!"
"Don't worry, Beizheng. I will gather my troops and search the entire Ruoshui area right now. I will definitely find this troublemaker for you!"
After saying this, Ao Shun, the Dragon King of the North Sea, did not listen to Zhuanxu's advice, but ordered his soldiers to charge into Ruoshui in a mighty force.
Zhuanxu looked at Ao Shun who was rushing to inspect the troops and generals with a smile on his face, and felt very emotional.
"The fellow Daoists of the Dragon Clan are kind-hearted and honest!"
As Ao Shun rushed out, Zhuanxu did not follow him. Instead, he turned and went to the Temple of Life in Ruoshui Kingdom and silently lit a stick of incense.
…
The heaven is high above the gods.
Mingyu has been staying in the Heavenly Palace since the banquet.
He was also troubled by one thing.
"Should I become a saint first?"
Mingyu leaned on the imperial throne bored, with one hand supporting her chin and the other tapping lightly on the imperial desk.
Heaven and earth pay tribute, and all the heavens pray for the birth of "Blessings and Infinite Heavenly Lord" in this world.
This is a surprise given to Mingyu by all the creatures in heaven and earth.
But at the same time, surprise means something that is beyond plan.
There is an overlap in power between the Great Emperor of Longevity and the Heavenly Lord of Infinite Bliss, but strictly speaking, there is a distinction between them.
The former is a honorific title, a name, an identity, a position of karma, and also one of the three corpses.
He is the manifestation of the great way from within.
The latter, blessed by heaven and earth, prayed for by all living beings, and praised by gods, is more of a symbol of the great way from the outside to the inside.
This surprise forced Mingyu to think of another way.
A path to sainthood.
"Belief!"
As the first innate god in the prehistoric world to study this path through sacrificial rituals, Mingyu is no stranger to the way of faith.
Under the Xuanmen, whether it is Taoism or Western religion, there is a deep understanding of faith.
However, many people nowadays have given up on this path and only use it as a means to strengthen their own strength.
This opportunity led to the birth of "Fusheng Wuliang Tianzun", and once again allowed Mingyu to touch the upper limit of this path.
"I'm probably still a little short of achieving the Hun Yuan Wu Ji Dao directly, but I can still achieve the Saint Dao."
Mingyu pondered.
The essence of sainthood through faith is actually no different from that of sainthood through merit.
Compared with the inner realization method of beheading the three corpses, both are external realization paths.
Of course, all paths lead to the same destination.
Whether it is inner or outer proof, as long as you can step onto the other side of the Tao, that is success.
Today's "Blessings and Infinite Heavenly Venerable" is like an "external certificate" admission ticket to the Great Dao placed in front of Mingyu.
"Are those guys teaming up to seduce me?"
An idea came to Mingyu's mind. At his level, there was no such thing as something unexpected.
This "surprise" was probably created intentionally by a group of Hunyuan who blocked the secrets of heaven.
and……
Mingyu looked off into the sky and muttered quietly, "Why are you getting involved with those demons over there instead of watching over them?"
He didn't believe that the old man of the Great Heavenly Dao would just follow the "public opinion" and acknowledge the "Blessings and Infinite Heavenly Lord".
As for whether it was recognized by Xiao Tiandao.
That's almost a no-brainer.
If Little Dumpling cooperates like this, He will no longer be Little Dumpling.
The old man coughed like that, and besides just eating melons as a routine, he probably had other thoughts in mind.
For example...
"You're right!"
"I'm here to urge you."
"You think it's fun to bounce back and forth between this shore and the other shore?"
"I know you're aiming for Pangu, but wouldn't it be nice to take two parallel paths together?"
"You're always so slow, how can you be a young man?"
"More stable than I was back then!"
Just as Mingyu was thinking, a string of words rushed into his mind.
Mingyu was completely confused.
"Old man?!"
He sat up suddenly and looked around anxiously.
"Don't look at me, I'm very busy, how can I have the time to come and see you?"
Now Mingyu was sure.
Daozu, Hongjun, his master, sent him a message!
My great god Pangu!
What kind of earth-shattering thing is this?
"Master, when did you become so active?"
Mingyu noticed the changes in Daozu.
The Daozu just now seemed to have active "humanity".
So, the one who delivered the message was not the Great Heavenly Dao, but the real Hongjun!
hiss~~
The Dao Ancestor has such active human nature, doesn't that mean...
"You're overthinking it! I'm still in the Wuji Land!"
Mingyu didn't know if it was an illusion, but she felt that there seemed to be some resentment in Hongjun's tone.
Mingyu asked quietly, "Master, how much more is needed?"
How much is still needed to realize that what belongs to Heaven belongs to Heaven, and what belongs to Hongjun belongs to Hongjun.
If Daozu's "big killer" can be released, the balance of victory in the war between gods and demons in the two worlds will tilt towards Honghuang!
This time, Hongjun did not reply immediately.
Instead, after a long silence, he sighed softly, "The main burden of this catastrophe still falls on you. There's not much I can do to help directly."
Mingyu understood, and said, "So, Master can take action directly?"
Hongjun was speechless.
This disciple's focus is always so unique.
He asked unhappily, "Don't worry about that for now, answer my question first."
"Can this saint succeed?"
"Give me a word!"
"If you can't, then go to reincarnation as soon as possible!"
Facing Hongjun's aggressiveness, Mingyu remained calm: "Master, I know you're anxious, but don't be anxious!"
"First of all, this Saint can be achieved. But..."
"Okay! It can be done, right?"
"I see!"
"Remember to get up early."
"I'm leaving."
"goodbye!"
Before Mingyu could finish, Hongjun cut off the connection decisively, as if he knew what he was going to say in advance.
The speed is jaw-dropping.
Now it was Mingyu's turn to be speechless.
"Why are you running so fast, old man? Are you really hiding some treasure?"
Mingyu, who originally wanted to get some good things from Hongjun, felt very regretful.
It's rare for the old man to be so proactive.
It would be a shame not to blackmail him for his unique painting style.
Unfortunately, Hongjun, who was full of humanity, had already seen through his disciple.
Don't give him the chance to blackmail you!
However, Mingyu still plans to fight for it.
He said to himself, "Master, you don't want the Empress and the others to know that you have such a strong sense of humanity, right?"
Hongjun: “…”
Seeing no response, Mingyu changed his words: "Master, the Emperor of Heaven has a very high hope of attaining enlightenment. You know this, right?"
Hongjun: “…”
Mingyu continued, "Master, the Demonic Supreme Luohou has returned. Do you think we should discuss this further?"
Hongjun: “…”
Mingyu continued, "Master, what do you think of my plan to confer the title of God?"
"Grandmaster..."
The infinite land.
Mingyu's mumbling could be heard from time to time.
Hongjun's eyebrows twitched when he heard this.
He looked at Honghuang helplessly.
With a shake of his sleeves, a round ball of light fell down.
"If you can't control yourself, don't say I'm stingy!"
The corners of Hongjun's mouth curled up slightly.
