Xia Qingyang has stayed in Zhenwu City for another fifty years. Ever since he entered the Golden Immortal Realm, he has really become insensitive to the passage of time.
Maybe it’s because life is so long that the concept of time is blurred.
In the past fifty years, there have been two more generations of people in Zhenwu City, which has also undergone tremendous changes compared to fifty years ago.
There is still no way to control civilians in Zhenwu City with strict laws. Especially when the individual strength of the people has improved, strict laws are even more important.
And the heavenly soldiers and generals have returned to heaven, and the hot spring pass has been garrisoned by the humans themselves.
The humans who have cultivated their fighting spirit are competent enough to do this. Even though monsters of all sizes have almost never attacked the city in the past fifty years, they can still defend the city safely.
Even under such circumstances, the Black Forest King, who had been in power for fifty years, began to think about exploring a new living space outside.
Xia Qingyang left these matters to them to solve on their own. The Jie Jiao disciples would no longer provide help. At most, the Qingyang Sect disciples would provide some assistance.
In fact, the people in Zhenwucheng are already very strong at this time. Not to mention their own strength, the pets they raise have good combat effectiveness!
Are you afraid of the fire-breathing puppy?
There is also a rabbit that jumps and spits out ice shavings!
Even a little pig in a pigsty can suddenly sprout terrible barbs all over its body.
This Zhenwu City has long been changed beyond recognition.
Xia Qingyang felt that the next stage would be to leave a piece of beast-controlling skills in Zhenwu City... But this idea just came up, and after thinking about it, he had to give up.
After all, the technique of controlling beasts is to enslave all spirits. If it is not performed well, it may cause the displeasure of Dao Ancestor and the reincarnated black turtle. It is better to play it safe and wait a little longer to discuss this matter.
What interrupted Xia Qingyang's enlightenment process on this day was an unexpected explanation from Saint Taiqing...
【Come】!
His incarnation of Emperor Zhenwu, who was sitting at the old site of Moqiu, suddenly received such a piece of information from Taiqing Tianzunling.
Xia Qingyang felt at that time that his three incarnations should be the command receivers of Sanqing, right?
He is really a tool man...
Without thinking much, the real body got up and flew straight into the sky.
He is not going to heaven, but to Taiqing Temple, which is above the nine heavens.
No one knows exactly where Taiqing Temple is. There is a Eight-View Palace in the Heavenly Court, but that is where the incarnation of Taishang Laojun is located, and even the incarnation does not often visit here.
And as the second leader of the Human Sect, he was summoned by the leader at this time, so he naturally wanted to go to Taiqingguan, which is truly located above the nine heavens.
Of course, this too clear portal is difficult for others to find, but it is different for him...
He suddenly saw a strange Bagua array in the air, with the door wide open for him, as if inviting him in.
When he entered it, he saw the world transform and suddenly landed in a wonderful place with beautiful mountains and clear waters.
The sky here is full of ink smoke and clouds, and the ground is full of twists and turns of flowing water, as if there are infinite Taoist aggregates gathered between the mountains and rivers.
His first reaction after arriving here... was that he realized that this place was probably no longer within the Three Realms of the Ancient World, but was located in the outer Taiqing Heaven...
Looking at a certain mountain peak in the landscape, the most conspicuous place under the ink smoke clouds is a seemingly simple thatched cottage.
This is so clear and clear.
Saint Taiqing was quiet and inactive. Compared to the Eight Scenery Palace that Heaven had spent on luxurious spiritual materials to build for him, he actually preferred to sit quietly here.
After Xia Qingyang came here, he unexpectedly discovered that Master Xuandu was also sitting in meditation here, but he didn't look very stable...
"Uncle, the disciple is here." Xia Qingyang cupped his fists and saluted.
In front of this Taiqing Saint, you must have certain etiquette but don't be too polite, otherwise you will be disliked by the quiet and inactive Taiqing Saint.
But it is different in front of Sage Yuqing. You must be polite and polite, otherwise you will be disliked by Sage Yuqing.
It's different in front of the Sage of Shangqing. If you are too pretentious in front of the Sage of Shangqing, you will still be disliked.
These three brothers have different temperaments, and they are all difficult to maintain.
Saint Taiqing nodded to Xia Qingyang, but did not speak, but pointed at the Xuandu Archmage.
I want him to guess riddles again...
Xia Qingyang is quite annoyed by this.
But what can he do?
Looking at Master Xuandu, he felt something in his heart and asked tentatively: "Senior brother, are you thinking about Ziyu?"
Master Xuandu opened his eyes, then smiled bitterly and said: "Yes and no."
Xia Qingyang asked strangely: "How do you say this?"
Master Xuandu said: "Because I think, since I am looking for something to help mortals get rid of the Six Desire Demons in the human world, I will simply find a way to let myself be contaminated by the Six Desire Demons, and then try to escape."
"Ziyu and Jiuniang have accompanied my incarnation on the earth for the last part of the journey. They should now go back to Moqiu to help prepare for the Three Religions Origin Conference... When I turned into dust and said goodbye to them, it was already
Escape from those demons of desire and restore the peace of mind."
Xia Qingyang frowned slightly, Ziyu and Jiuniang had been following Master Xuandu for such a long time... and nothing happened for such a long time?
He really admired Master Xuandu's single strength.
So he asked: "What is senior brother confused about?"
Xuandu said: "The thing is...even if it takes me a lifetime to get rid of the control of the demon of desire, how can I ask mortals not to be affected by the six desires?"
It turns out that this is what he was thinking about...
Xia Qingyang smiled and said: "Senior Brother, Junior Brother has also traveled around the world before and summed up a truth. Please comment on it, right..."
Master Xuandu made a gesture of listening attentively.
Xia Qingyang said: "I found that in difficult environments where everyone needs to work together to survive and reproduce, although the progress of humanity is extremely low, there are no traces of the existence of the demon of desire."
"The human race that lives in such a place will not hesitate to sacrifice themselves for the survival of the race when necessary."
"And in places where humanity is stronger, the infection by the Six Desire Demons will be more serious, and people will become more selfish."
"It's just like those Buddhist disciples who have been reincarnated in the Central Plains over the years... In fifty years, twenty people have been reincarnated... and guess what?"
"Nearly half of them re-entered reincarnation without awakening at all. They were unable to find their Buddha nature under the influence of the demon of desire in this mortal world."
"So let me tell you, this worldly demon of desire cannot be eradicated at all. It will inevitably appear with the development of humanity."
"We can only try to channel it, or suppress it with various rules and put it in a cage to prevent its unrestricted development."
Xia Qingyang said a lot.
But Master Xuandu suddenly became more energetic and stopped being pretentious...
He asked: "Everything else doesn't matter, let's talk about Buddhism... Junior brother, what do you think about Buddhism? You would actually agree with them to infiltrate China in this way?"
Xia Qingyang: "..."
So if he doesn’t mention Buddhism, he won’t listen at all, right?
He was just being pretentious about his feelings, so it was nothing wrong in the first place, right?
But then he suddenly realized where this was...
By the way, he allowed Buddhism to spread eastward. This matter needs to be explained to Taiqing Saint!
