Chapter 900 Taiyi (600 plus)
In the Great Zhou Calendar, the Earth Festival is in the seventh year.
The Great Sage of the Three Mountains became possessed, the Great Sage Huanglong died, and Chongming Island fell.
Many ferocious monsters overseas took the opportunity to attack offshore, but were repelled by the 'Great Sage Nanhua', 'The Great Sage Lixuan', and the 'Great Sage Fanglang'. [Dagon] was even severely injured. After returning to Qianlongting, he fell into fell asleep.
Even so, after the great sages killed a large number of sea monsters and repelled several major evils, they still had to retreat to the land.
Demons raged in the offshore waters, and the east-west route was completely cut off.
The coastline of Dazhou is full of loopholes, and monster attacks occasionally occur.
For this reason, the Zhou royal family reacted quickly and immediately established the "Jinghai Division" to gather monks from all over the world and go to the coast to inspect and suppress the demons.
Even so, coastal people still suffered heavy casualties.
At the imperial court, some cabinet ministers even took the opportunity to propose a 'sea ban', advocating that all coastal people should be moved hundreds of miles inland, and at the same time, no one would be allowed to go to the sea.
This was the beginning of another invasion of demons, which was called the ‘Chongming Change’ in later history books!
…
Jinling.
When he came to the capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty again, Zhong Shenxiu found that the environment had changed a lot.
Not only are there well-equipped soldiers patrolling everywhere, but there are also monks mixed in among them.
Above the Qinhuai River, all the painted red boats disappeared, replaced by steam steel battleships. Many Taoist talismans were engraved on the cannons, with a flash of aura and a fierce aura.
"This is preparation for war..."
"Yes, after all, although Jinling has convenient transportation, it is too close to the sea. If the demon goes upstream from the estuary, it will not take a day to reach Jinling City..."
Zhong Shenxiu came to Jinling City and found that the atmosphere was tense and there were people everywhere in a hurry.
"[Shadow of the Beginning] changes, ocean monsters invade... Another war between demons is about to begin, and this is destined to be an unfair contest, because demons can lose many times, but humans...can't afford to lose even once!"
He took Qin Weiyin with him, and the two of them came to the gate of a wealthy mansion.
The gatekeeper was a little impatient and wanted to step forward to chase him away, but after seeing Fang Lang's face clearly, his feet softened and he knelt down first: "Great... Great Sage, please wait a moment, I will go immediately." Notify the princess."
"Um."
Zhong Shenxiu waved his hand, and not long after, Princess Tianluo came out to greet him: "Fang Sheng's attack on the East China Sea has spread far and wide. I would like to congratulate you..."
Her face was full of congratulations, and there was no trace of any strangeness.
Zhong Shenxiu sighed instead: "It's a pity that Huanglong..."
Seeing this, Princess Tianluo finally showed a hint of sadness in her eyes.
There are only three great saints in the royal family, and losing one of them is like breaking an arm.
"Recently, the Heavenly Demon Battlefield is about to reopen, and Taoist sects are going to send out talisman edicts to gather fellow Taoists from all over the world to discuss important matters... The venue is set to be Jinling. I saw nothing happened, so I came over to join in the fun."
Zhong Shenxiu said with a smile: "I just don't have anywhere to stay, so I'm going to bother you."
"Wherever I can entertain Fang Sheng, it will be so brilliant!"
Princess Tianluo's expression paused slightly, and a smile immediately appeared on her face. She respectfully welcomed Zhong Shenxiu into the princess's mansion, and ordered that the best room should be sorted out immediately for Zhong Shenxiu's use.
After a lot of work, she entertained Zhong Shenxiu with a banquet, and then she said goodbye and left.
"Let's go to the palace!"
Just after leaving the Princess's Mansion, Princess Tianluo's expression changed slightly and she ordered.
She got on a carriage and drove directly into the palace.
Outside a secluded palace.
Princess Tianluo raised her hand and flew out several rays of fire, opening the door.
The door opened with a bang, and a hazy voice came out:
"The yin and yang have not changed, the vast desert is too empty, there is no light and no image, formless and nameless..."
Just hearing this voice, Princess Tianluo's expression changed. A large number of blood stains appeared on her body, her lower abdomen bulged, and countless illusory ghost babies were guarded in the hazy surroundings.
"Ancestor!"
She called softly, and the sound around her weakened a lot. In the dim hall, a human figure could be vaguely seen.
He stood in front of a long yellowing wooden altar table. There were melon and fruit offerings on the table. Green smoke curled up from the purple jade incense burner, and a scroll enshrined behind him could be seen.
There are only two big words written on it - 'Too Easy'!
Boom!
Just seeing these two words, Princess Tianluo felt mentally confused, as if her whole person was about to turn into nothingness, tracing back to the state of 'lightless, imageless, formless and nameless' before the universe opened.
It's so lonely, it's so easy!
This royal master sitting in the palace is the ‘Great Sage of Zhouyi’!
What he practices is a profound Taoist method in Fangxian Tao, in order to achieve the status of Taoist Great Sage!
The Taoist ancestor of Fang Xiandao is the rumored Taoist Taiyi!
But even the great sage did not dare to worship his true appearance, so he could only summarize it in words.
"You're here……"
The Great Sage Zhou Yi did not turn around, but his voice rang out from anywhere in the hall: "My royal family is uniquely blessed. The founder of the country is also a disciple of the Taoist sect. He was once given a true inheritance of Fangxian Dao, with a branch like Ruoyuanyin Temple. , only then can we enjoy the destiny of the country... The descendants of my royal family have learned more about the authentic Taoism. This method is the most righteous and peaceful, and can also become a great saint... Only Huanglong has found another way, taking the side path to becoming a saint, and has strong combat power. I am the number one in my royal family, and now I have fallen into the East China Sea. I am so sad and sad..."
"Ancestor, don't be too sad. Ancestor Huanglong can kill the big murderer, which also brings fame to our royal family..." Princess Tianluo comforted her.
"Bah! Even if you have a reputation, what's the use if you die?"
The Great Sage Zhou Yi sighed and said in a very vulgar tone: "But Huang Long followed the side path and was the head of two families, but he also suffered from the harm of both families. It's like walking on a tightrope. In recent years, he has sent letters to me with flying swords. However, there are signs of Taoism... I am afraid that most of those who died overseas this time were soldiers who were disbanded."
He sighed and revealed another secret.
"It turns out that there is such a secret behind the death of Huanglong Ancestor..." Princess Tianluo took a breath of air, obviously she also knew how powerful it was.
"Although the great sages of the authentic Xuanmen sect are generally weaker than those of the side sects, their ability to suppress Taoism means they will last forever... In the past, great sages of the Taoist sect were mostly from side sects."
The Great Sage Zhou Yi sighed: "The deceased is gone, but you have also followed the old path of the other side... Although after our guidance, you can practice the [Rakshasa Ghost Mother's Life Sutra], a classic that combines the two paths, and you will not be killed by the great evil." Harvest, but you are still walking on thin ice, if you take one wrong step, you will lose everything."
If you want to become a great sage, you basically have to walk a tightrope. If you don't pay attention, you will be doomed.
People who have achieved enlightenment in a different way like Zhong Shenxiu are completely exceptional and cannot be envied by outsiders.
