Chapter 576 The boat blocks the road
Somewhere in the palace, there is an altar similar to offering sacrifices to the heavens. It is nine feet high, as many as the nine heavens. The rest of the decorations are also arranged as many as twelve hours and the number of stars in the sky, which has a unique charm.
At this time, the altar made of pure white jade was divided into three altars: inner, middle and outer by red silk ribbons. Each altar had its own formation, covered with talisman paper, and lit the dharma lamp. It was magnificent and complex, giving people a sense of mystery. Divine feeling.
The emperor, who was wearing a five-clawed true dragon robe, stood in front of the altar with several ministers and eunuchs. Looking at the forest of lights, the dazzling talismans, and the red lines everywhere, his expression became more serious. Yesterday, Biyou Palace issued a decree, saying something. Immortals came to help, making them look forward to and worried at the same time.
The emperor, who was especially worried about the situation in Qiaozhou, hurriedly burned incense and bathed, fasted and calmed his mind, and did not dare to neglect at all.
"I wonder which immortal will come to this world?" While waiting for the auspicious moment, the emperor seemed to be talking to himself or asking the ministers and eunuchs next to him.
Over the years, many immortals have come to Biyou Palace, all wearing masks. They are not unfamiliar with the identity of the ancient immortals, so they naturally have some guesses at this time.
A minister with a short beard and a majestic appearance said: "If Lord Doumu Yuan, Zhenren Taiyi and others come to this world, the matter will be solved easily, but the matter of Qiaozhou is not important and does not affect the movement of heaven and earth. They may not be able to come. , maybe Yun Zhongzi, Bixia Yuanjun and other immortals.”
"It's better to have immortals than not to have immortals at all. Those bastards in Qiaozhou who don't know their father and their righteousness dare not mess with Biyou Palace!" The eunuch next to him seemed excited, but in fact he was relieved.
The emperor nodded slightly and regained his composure.
He didn't expect such a fierce confrontation in Qiaozhou before. He just planned to beat him up. The first time the imperial envoy had an accident, he really thought he encountered a "immortal sorrow" monster or was struck by lightning. Now he pays attention to it and invites the immortal. I believe it. Things are not difficult to solve.
Who on earth gave them the courage to resist like this? Aren't you afraid that I will summon strong men and defeat them all with one blow?
After a while, a bell sounded, indicating that the time had come.
The emperor straightened his clothes, recited the invocation to God, and slowly walked up the steps, walking along the road divided by the red line, which coincided with the number of heaven and earth.
When he reached the top of the altar, he took out the Huang Biao Qing Ci and muttered something to welcome the immortal from Biyou Palace.
Suddenly, the yellow watch ignited a layer of red flame, which only burned the paper body and did not hurt the fingers.
The flames rose, and a misty green light floated in the air of the altar, forming a green door full of mysterious runes.
Qingmen is simple and old, as if carved from stone, and every rune seems to contain the secrets of heaven and earth.
With a creak, the green door slowly opened, releasing thousands of rays of light. The golden color was eye-catching but not dazzling.
The emperor, ministers and eunuchs held their breaths and stared at Jinxia. They saw an immortal wearing a black robe walking out of the green gate and walking down the steps paved with green light.
The mask he wears is majestic and solemn, making it impossible to distinguish between old and young. It is the most common image in Taoist temples.
Yuanshi Tianzun!
The emperor and ministers took a breath, the immortal who came turned out to be Yuanshi Tianzun!
Although they knew that the title of Immortal of Biyou Palace was not necessarily related to strength, those with the name of Sanqing had only heard of the owner of Biyou Palace, "Lingbao Tianzun", and now that they saw "Yuanshi Tianzun" at first sight, they were inevitably shocked and thought-provoking. .
In myths and legends, the status of this Heavenly Lord is higher than that of the Lingbao Heavenly Lord. He is the head of the Taoist sect, the beginning of everything, and the cause of all effects!
"Welcome to the Heavenly Lord." The emperor took a deep breath, half guessing and half solemnly saluting.
Compared with other immortals, "Yuanshi Tianzun" always makes people have more expectations!
The ministers and eunuchs also followed:
"Welcome to the Heavenly Lord."
…………
In a certain secret room, the light was weak, and only a candle was lit in the center.
There were more than a dozen people sitting around, their faces hidden in the darkness.
"What should we do this time? News came from over there that Biyou Palace sent immortals to come to earth to escort the imperial envoy." A hoarse voice sounded.
"Humph, what else can we do? Either don't do it, or never do it, or just like the previous two times!" The person with a deep voice said firmly.
An old voice said hesitantly: "That's the immortal from Biyou Palace..."
Biyou Palace is mysterious and powerful. Immortals are not better than immortals, making it difficult for people to resist.
A voice that sounded like a broken gong said: "So what? Withdraw now and all your previous efforts have been wasted? Although Biyou Palace is strong, judging from the records over the years, there are obvious differences in the strength of the immortals. We are not unable to deal with some of them. !”
"Our affairs have not been exposed yet. Biyou Palace will not take it too seriously. The immortals who come here will not be too strong. As long as they bury this fleet, they will have to wait until next year to pass Xianjianchou. By then, we will We have already finished the work and digested the harvest, so why should we be afraid?”
Interest moves people's hearts, but desire blinds them. After hearing these words, everyone present fell silent.
After a while, a high-pitched voice said: "Anyway, I have never heard of Biyou Palace, and I don't believe there are immortals in the world! Your family members have already taken it over secretly, so what are you afraid of?"
"Then we'll do the same thing as the previous two times, but we have to ask 'him' to take action together, and we can't be careless in dealing with the immortal." said the hoarse voice who was the first to speak.
"Yes, it is an inexplicable 'Yuanshi Tianzun' anyway. If you are not a powerful immortal such as Doumu Yuanjun and Taiyi Zhenren, what are you afraid of? The two of them joining forces will definitely cause the fleet to encounter a 'shipwreck' again and bury the immortal in the immortal world." Sad!” echoed the one with a deep voice.
Everyone gradually reached a consensus. After a while, someone asked in a low voice:
"What's going on there now?"
…………
The indigo water swayed gently, reflecting the flashing thunder and lightning in the sky, creating dreamlike brilliant waves. It was surrounded by a deep fog, which seemed to hide extremely terrifying monsters.
A fleet sailed strictly according to the Taoist calculations, rising and falling on the sea.
On the largest ship, many sailors looked at the endless ocean, at the fog that blocked their sight, and at the never-ending purple lightning and blue thunder. They felt indescribable depression and heaviness in their hearts. They felt that Violent and violent, but also with an indescribable sense of silence and isolation.
This is a common feeling when sailing on "Xian Jian Chou"!
"Have you seen the immortal on the ship?" Several idle sailors whispered in a low voice.
As ordinary people, they are full of curiosity about Biyou Palace.
"Where is the immortal that we can see? He has been hiding in the room, and the food and drinks are only delivered outside the door. He has not even seen the imperial envoy a few times." A sailor sighed.
Other sailors also felt regretful: "I don't even know which 'immortal' it is..."
"It's not a real immortal anyway! How can a real immortal use food?" A sailor curled his lips.
"Bah, have you ever seen a real immortal? Those gentlemen who tell stories have said that real immortals also love food and wine." Other sailors retorted.
Suddenly, their discussion stopped abruptly, and at the same time they stood up straight and saluted respectfully: "Your Majesty the Imperial Envoy."
The person who walked out of the cabin was none other than Zhang Yuquan, the imperial envoy this time. He had a Chinese character and was in his forties. He was in the prime of life and had just begun to show his strength in the field. He could replace any overseas governor.
After going deep into Xian Jian Chou, he was always a little uneasy, fearing that his colleagues would make the same mistakes. Since those few dared to fight fiercely, they probably had something to rely on. There may not be a compromise this time!
He could only rely on immortals... He looked back at the cabin, and the mask of Yuanshi Tianzun appeared in his mind.
Although "Yuanshi Tianzun" has not shown any strength, it always gives people a feeling of bottomlessness.
Suddenly, a gust of cold wind came out, making Zhang Yuquan shiver himself, and the sailors and soldiers on the ship shivered even more.
The sea breeze full of violent energy turned into a bone-chilling wind at some point, and the undulating indigo sea surface suddenly calmed down, like a huge sapphire.
Gurgling, gurgling, the sea surface seemed to be boiling but not boiling, and gray-white bubbles emerged one after another. It was monotonous and terrifying, and it was full of gloom!
This feeling made everyone except Zhang Yuquan feel horrified. They felt that there seemed to be invisible evil spirits hidden around them. They could shuttle between ships and kill people without leaving any trace!
No one dared to speak, it seemed like they were screaming when they opened their mouths. The cold feeling was getting stronger and stronger, and some people even felt someone blowing on their necks.
Zhang Yuquan took a deep breath and punched out. With the fist as the core, the cyan lightning bloomed like a flower. With constant crackling sounds, it turned into a forest of thunder, striking the cold surroundings.
But the coldness seemed to be able to swallow up his thunder and lightning, without any change at all. The fierce, dead, and gloomy meaning was about to solidify. It felt like it could suffocate people directly and cause them to die silently!
At this time, in the distance directly in front of the fleet, a small boat floated out of the thick fog. There was a person sitting on it, wearing white clothes and a sword across his knees. Although his hair was long and gray, his appearance did not look old.
He floated in gracefully, with his eyes half open and half closed, and his breath restrained, without any abnormalities, like a sword hidden in a sheath. But amidst the thunder and lightning, thick fog and waves, he seemed to be the protagonist and the core of everything!
This momentum, this grace, this feeling... Zhang Yuquan's eyes narrowed, and he felt the terror of the coming person. What was even more terrifying was that the gloomy and malicious intent and invisible hungry ghosts around him were hard to guard against!
Heavenly Lord! Zhang Yuquan suddenly thought of the Biyou Palace Immortal and glanced back subconsciously.
At this moment, Zhang Yuquan felt the burning heat!
The yin wind suddenly turned hot, and the yin and yang became righteous. The yin and yang dynamics between heaven and earth changed inexplicably!
ah! ah! ah!
Screams rang out, and invisible figures emerged one after another. They were originally hidden in the coldness to resist thunder and lightning and Yang Qi, and they remained intact. But at this moment, the coldness itself became pure Yang, making them unable to escape. It was evasive, as if it was thrown directly into the oil pan, making a sizzling sound and disappearing quickly.
It was only then that Zhang Yuquan discovered that there was an "enemy" lurking on the ship!
A muffled groan sounded in the mist, and the white-clothed swordsman on the boat suddenly opened his eyes, unsheathed his long sword, and vigorously separated the mist and thunder that filled the air!
But there was an extra hand in his sight. It was white and powerful, as simple as it was eternal. The handprints were dark, and the front of the palm was dark and dark, like a broken world!
The boundless and vast intention rushed towards my face, my palm fell, darkness descended, it seemed that the whole world was in my palm, and I was tilted by it.
At this moment, the swordsman felt that the surrounding void shrank, the world became smaller, the air flow instantly shattered, and disappeared without a trace. He suddenly felt helpless in the face of the broken world!
His mind was racing, the sword energy rushed into his body, and he forced himself out of this feeling. The long sword thrust upwards, and his body and the sword merged. The sword light brightened and darkened into a whirlpool, thus eliminating the power of this terrible palm.
With a crash, the sea surged, turning into water swords that also stabbed into the air.
when!
The white palm hit the long sword without any fancy. The swordsman felt an indescribable heavy force coming down on him!
With a click, his jaws cracked, his arms were broken, and his feet fell into the boat. He watched helplessly as the slender and powerful palm pressed the sword back and hit himself on the forehead.
How could there be such terrifying power?
His forehead cracked, his brains burst out, and he vaguely saw a majestic Taoist wearing a mask.
It is two feet tall, and the Dharma and principles are intertwined, giving people the feeling of being upright and in control of everything. It seems to be a real immortal!
Yuanshi Tianzun?
Yuanshi Tianzun!
The swordsman's vision gradually darkened.
