Chapter 375 Before the Middle Ages, the Thirty-Six Gods
"The exact reason is unknown." Yan Shouyi shook his head and then smiled: "There are many guesses, but do you want to know?"
"Forget the speculation for now." Zhou Heng asked again: "Then how to determine that the end of the ancient mythological era was not due to that reason? Is there any key discovery?"
"You have actually seen this reason before." Yan Shouyi said with a smile: "When we were in Fengzhou County before, the evil god 'Moko Kasyapa' who tried to come had a phenomenon when he came.
"He wants to squeeze his own way into our world and imprint it on us, and this means that his way is not in our world."
"In this case..." Zhou Heng was stunned when he heard this, and said: "It means that if the immortal gods in the ancient mythological era have become evil gods, then there is no need to re-brand their avenues, because they are already the immortal gods here? "
"That's right." Yan Shou nodded and said: "This can actually be used as evidence that the evil gods from outside the territory are not actually ancient immortal gods. It's just why these evil gods have almost the same avenues, powers and even treasures as the ancient immortal gods. , is still unknown.”
"I understand somewhat." Zhou Heng frowned and said, "In other words, although the evil gods with Baogao have appeared in the ancient mythological era, there is a high probability that the evil gods today are not the same as the ancient immortal gods. one?"
"That's almost it." Yan Shouyi agreed and said: "After all, the ancient things are far away, Taishizu doesn't want to mention them more, and there is not much information that can confirm the authenticity."
"Yes, I understand." Zhou Heng nodded and asked again: "Brother, what about the Middle Ages? What kind of era was it, and how did it start in the first place?
"There is also the Dark Age before the Middle Ages. What was it like, how did it end, and how did it transition to the Age of Saints in the Middle Ages? Why are there so few records about these?"
Although there are some records of the Middle Ages in this era, most of them are vague, especially the transition from the Dark Age to the Middle Ages. This process is almost never mentioned.
"Dark Era, no one who has personally experienced that era is willing to mention it, so there are naturally very few records in the world." Yan Shouyi sighed softly: "I only occasionally heard Grandmaster Tai talk about that time. things.
"The gods of immortals and Buddhas in the ancient mythological era suddenly disappeared. Many sects, families, countries and other forces in the world have no restraints. The major sects no longer have the protection of immortals and gods. The balance of power between them is unbalanced. The order of the past is in a very short period of time. collapsed within a short period of time.
"This is the origin of the Dark Era. Our Chunyang Palace also suffered a near-fatal blow during that period. It is recorded in the book "Chunyang". Junior brother, you should also know it."
"Yes." Zhou Heng nodded, "Our second headmaster died at that time."
"That era can be said to be extremely chaotic. Countless inheritances were destroyed, countless magical powers were lost, and countless artifacts were damaged..." Yan Shou said: "Too much history was buried.
"The only thing I can confirm from the information I know now is that the ones who stood at the top of that era were not the Tao Masters, but the thirty-six Tao Lords."
"Thirty-six Dao Lords?" Zhou Heng was stunned when he heard this, and said in astonishment: "Can Dao Lords reach the top in that era? Isn't there a first-class god in the Dark Age?"
Although there is only one realm between the second level of Dao and the first level of Shen, the difference between them cannot be described even if it is a world of difference.
In the previous battle in Fengzhou County, Yan Shou, a first-class celestial being, even with peerless magic weapons in his hands, was beaten and unable to fight back against a Taoist master like Yu Xinzi.
The gap between the second-grade Dao and the first-grade gods will only be wider than that situation, and more difficult to bridge. Normally speaking, no matter how many Dao Lords there are, it will be meaningless in front of the first-grade gods.
"At that time, there was no such thing as a first-grade god, but in terms of realm, there were only a handful of first-grade gods at that time." Yan Shouyi explained: "However, the core reason is not this.
"But it's about a treasure. The thirty-six Dao Lords are monsters and monsters, with different origins and different levels of strength, but they have a treasure called the 'Thirty-Six Heavens'.
"With this treasure, their power is infinitely close to the first level of gods. This is the thirty-six powerful powers that are infinitely close to the first level of gods. To a certain extent, the 'Thirty-Six Gods' are worthy of their name, and they have completely suppressed a era."
"Thirty-six gods?" Zhou Heng was a little surprised and said doubtfully: "I once heard someone say that in the early days of the Middle Ages, when the Nine Saints were not yet complete, there were thirty-six demon gods in the world who caused trouble everywhere. The Holy Suppression Seal is a false rumor."
"This is the fallacy that arose after true information was circulated many times." Yan Shou smiled and said: "The Thirty-Six Gods were indeed suppressed by the first few of the Nine Saints in the Middle Ages, but they are not ordinary ones. The demon god, but the supreme overlord who suppressed the entire dark era.
"Even now, there are still organizations in the world that are trying to lift the seals of the Thirty-Six Gods and reawaken them. They are in the East China Sea, mainly loose immortals, and call themselves the 'Thirty-Six Heavens'.
"The mighty Holy Mercy Immortal who was killed by you in the original Hefu City was a member of the Thirty-Six Heavens. That incident should be related to one of the Thirty-Six Gods."
"Original Hefu City, the Mighty, Holy and Compassionate Immortal..." Zhou Heng's brows suddenly furrowed even deeper when he heard this. He thought of the reincarnation of the Taoist he had deceived when he was in the original Hefu City - God Qingxia.
Although he used a fooling card to bring down the Qingxia God and made him swear an oath of allegiance to him, because the Qingxia God had not recovered much of his memory at that time, he did not ask too many questions.
Moreover, he just regarded Qingxia God as an ordinary reincarnation of the Taoist Lord who was recovering his memory, and did not pay too much attention to it.
But now, according to Yan Shouyi, when the mighty Saint Mercy came to Yuanhefu City, he wanted to unblock one of the thirty-six gods...
This means that the Qingxia God is most likely one of the thirty-six overlords who suppressed the entire Dark Age before the medieval saints era!
"That's a bit outrageous." Zhou Heng exclaimed in surprise. He never thought that when he was at the ninth level, he had already subdued such an astonishingly powerful being.
However, since Qingxia God has such a great origin, is there any way for her to escape from the restrictions of the Taoist oath? He suddenly felt that this was very possible.
As one of the many powerful men who have dominated an era, even if he was suppressed, he himself would not believe it if he said that there was no back-up plan left behind.
"What's wrong?" Yan Shouyi noticed the change in Zhou Heng's expression.
"Well, when I was in the original Hefu City, I might have conquered the 'Qingxia God' among the thirty-six gods." Zhou Heng scratched his head.
"What?!" Yan Shou was shocked when he heard this.
"There is such a thing?!" He Mengqiu was also shocked.
"I see." Yan Shouyi suddenly clapped his hands and said with a smile, "No wonder Lord Feng Juedao is in Huangtong City. I thought it was just to find a successor, but I didn't expect this reason."
"Huh??" This time it was Zhou Heng who was confused and said in surprise: "Feng Jue Dao Lord? In Huangtong Fucheng??"
"Feng Jue Dao Lord, Jiang Tafa." Yan Shouyi said with a smile, and then told Zhou Heng that Jiang Tafa was the concierge of the Chunyang Martial Arts School in Huangtong Fucheng.
"Hiss, hiss, that old man is actually a Dao Lord?" Zhou Heng opened his mouth. According to this theory, this Feng Jue Dao Lord can still be regarded as his employee.
It's really magical.
"Nothing in the world is more wonderful than this." Yan Shouyi smiled and said, "Junior brother, is there anything else you want to ask?"
"There are still some questions about the Western Wilderness Forbidden Land, but let's stop here for now." Zhou Heng stood up and said, "I just thought about the Qingxia God. I want to go to Yuanhe Fucheng to see her situation."
Among the questions he asked before, whether it was about evil gods, ancient mythological times, or changes in the Middle Ages, they were all questions that he thought might contain clues to the earth.
Although he also has many questions about the Western Wilderness Forbidden Land, this aspect does not seem to be closely related to the earth. Compared with this, it is more important to confirm the status of Qingxia God.
"Well, that's fine." Yan Shou nodded and said, "Do you need help?"
"I can just go by myself." Zhou Heng shook his head, and suddenly thought of something else, "By the way, senior brother, is the overseas loose immortal organization 'Thirty-Six Heavens' who is plotting to unblock the Thirty-Six Gods related to Is there any cooperation from evil?”
"Indeed." Yan Shou nodded and said in a deep voice: "There are even some loose immortals from the Thirty-Sixth Heaven who come from a certain evil path. Master once went to explore the Thirty-sixth Heaven, and where Found a subtle aura of evil spirits.”
"In this case, it is even more important to confirm the status of Qingxia God." Zhou Heng's expression became serious. He was worried that Qingxia God, who had not yet recovered, would be discovered by evil spirits or people from the 36th Heaven and be infected by evil gods.
"Junior brother, please be safe." Yan Shou took out a jade talisman and handed it to Zhou Heng, saying: "This is a death talisman. As long as the person who kills you has not reached the second level of Dao, he can be killed three times. "
"Three times?" Zhou Heng was a little surprised. He took the jade talisman, looked at He Mengqiu and then looked at Yan Shouyi, "Senior brother, is he going to retreat?"
Zhou Heng's death talisman had been used up a long time ago, and Yan Shouyi didn't say that he would give it to him again. But now he suddenly gave him a death talisman that could be used for three times, and even the upper limit was raised by a large level.
This obviously means that Yan Shouyi actually had enough time to pay attention to Zhou Heng's safety before. Coupled with Zhou Heng's own strength and "previous life and back tactics", there is no need for a scapegoat.
And what Yan Shouyi is doing now may indicate that he may not have time to take action in the next period of time.
Zhou Heng also thought of the scene he saw in Fengzhou County before. The two avenues of one yin and one yang evolved into Tai Chi, which far exceeded the strength of normal heavenly beings... Yan Shouyi was probably preparing to condense the Tao seeds.
"You don't think I'm going to prepare to condense the Tao seeds, do you?" Yan Shouyi suddenly laughed.
"Ah?" Zhou Heng was stunned when he heard this, and said in astonishment: "Isn't it?"
"Of course not." Yan Shou said with a smile: "You know, I have only placed my soul in the void for more than four hundred years. I have not experienced the five declines of heaven and man. What kind of Tao seed has been condensed?"
"If you don't overcome the five declines of heaven and man, can't you condense the Tao seed?" Zhou Heng asked curiously. He always thought that the so-called decline of heaven and man was just the five declines of life span, but now it seems that it is also related to the advancement of cultivation.
"This is not true. Theoretically speaking, even if you have just placed your soul in the void and achieved the realm of heaven and man, you can still condense the Tao seeds." Yan Shouyi chuckled and said: "But, the Tao seeds are also divided into high and low levels. The ones who condense the Tao seeds There are also different states. Heavenly beings who have survived the five tribulations are in the most perfect state."
"So that's it." Zhou Heng suddenly realized and said: "Senior Brother's first calamity is coming soon? Is this why you invited Senior He to Taihua as a guest?"
"There are reasons for this." Yan Shouyi nodded and said with a smile: "The tribulation is difficult, so I still have to rely on Senior He."
"My cultivation method is special, so I can barely help Master Yan a little bit." He Mengqiu smiled lightly and was very humble.
"Ah this..." Zhou Heng was even more surprised after getting confirmation. He didn't expect that the relationship between Yan Shouyi and He Mengqiu would be so good.
He actually allowed He Mengqiu to help him when he was going through the tribulation.
For any celestial being, the tribulation is a huge life-and-death crisis, and it is also the lowest point of strength. Those who can help at this time must be the most trusted people of the tribulation.
"Master, Brother Heng, Senior Yan, the buns are ready!" At this time, Yunxiu's voice came from the kitchen at the right time, and the aroma of the buns became more intense.
"Bring it up quickly, bring it up!" He Mengqiu waved his hand.
...
Zhou Heng did not stay on Mount Taihua for long. After breakfast, with the help of Yan Shouyi, he crossed millions of miles and landed directly outside Yuanhe Prefecture City.
Looking at the familiar city gate in front of him, he felt quite sad.
The last time he came here, he was just a small eighth-rank warrior. He had not joined the Chunyang Palace or the Zhoutian Patrol Division, and his body was like duckweed.
"At that time, I seemed to be the 42nd on the human list, and I also participated in the competition held by the Wang family here." Zhou Heng touched his chin and fell into memories.
It was only a year, but it felt like a long time had passed, as if he had experienced many things, and his identity and strength were completely different from that time.
Zhou Heng stood in front of the gate of Yuanhe Mansion for a while, sorted out his mood, and led the red horse forward, intending to enter the city.
——These days, most people entering the city from outside have mounts. Walking into the city alone is very eye-catching, and walking with a horse will not be eye-catching.
After entering the city, Zhou Heng planned to go directly to the Bai family to take a look, but he saw a person coming towards him after walking two steps.
The man was stunned when he saw Zhou Heng, then he exclaimed: "You, you are... Purple Lightning Blade, Zhou Heng?!"
"Purple Lightning Blade..." Zhou Heng's mouth twitched slightly.
