When Jiang Yao arrived at that place, he saw a huge eight-headed snake in a valley, breathing poisonous mist, and the evil aura was overwhelming.
Jiang Yao suddenly became nervous.
Can Ah Jiu survive the thunder tribulation smoothly? I can't interfere with her thunder tribulation.
"Ajiu!" Jiang Yao shouted loudly, "Don't force it!"
He would rather Ajiu fail to be promoted to Mahayana than be killed by a thunderstorm.
But Jiang Yao's worries were obviously unnecessary.
"Boom-boom--" The huge thunder struck down, but Ah Jiu flew into the air without fear, and faced the thunder tribulation like a dragon. Under the powerful poison domain, the power of the thunder tribulation was greatly weakened.
But Ah Jiu's aura was rising steadily.
"Boom boom boom—"
Several more rounds of terrifying lightning disasters passed. Although Ah Jiu was scarred and even a snake head was shot down, his momentum became stronger and stronger.
And a new snake head grew out.
Hai Coral, Xuan Miao and others all nodded. It was indeed a Nine-Headed Yuan Hui with the blood of a mythical beast, and was naturally powerful.
The last round of the most powerful thunder tribulation passed, and Ah Jiu finally survived the Mahayana thunder tribulation without any danger and became a great demon with Mahayana cultivation.
But seeing poisonous mist lingering in the air, an eight-headed giant snake dozens of feet long, winding and flying in the mist, roaring like a dragon, like an ancient mythical beast, the scene was extremely shocking.
Especially the eight snake heads are extremely ferocious, majestic and intimidating.
But then, the eight-headed giant snake slowly changed, and finally turned into a girl in black clothes with a cold breath and black lips.
This girl has an indifferent expression, narrow eyes, and eight buns on her head. She looks cold, sassy, and beautiful, with a sense of mystery.
"Master." The girl came to Jiang Yao.
"Okay, okay." Jiang Yao nodded and smiled, saying "good" three times in a row, "Ajiu is already a Mahayana real person."
Ah Jiu has been half-stepping the Mahayana for some years, and now that she has the opportunity to return to the Mahayana, it is actually not sudden. She was originally a fairy-level demon.
Jiang Yao thought for a while, "Ah Jiu, I'd better give you a good name. You are also the princess of the Ming Dynasty and a minister of the country, so you can't live without a formal name."
"I actually had a famous name before," Ah Jiu said, "but it's better that the master gave me a new name."
Jiang Yao nodded, "I found you at Lanruo Temple in Fanshan Mountain. Otherwise, you will be called Lanruo Jiuniang."
Lan Ruo Jiuniang?
Ah Jiu thinks this name is very good and in line with her wishes.
"Then thank you Master." Ah Jiu said lightly.
Although she is Jiang Yao's battle pet and is very loyal to Jiang Yao, her temperament is cold and arrogant, which is completely different from Xiao Hei.
In front of Jiang Yao, she is not like a servant, but like a friend, and her attitude has always been a bit arrogant.
Haihuo came over and said: "Dragon City, let's say goodbye. If you have time, you can go to Dragon City to see it. That is your birthplace."
Jiang Yao felt a little emotional, "Cousin, I don't have many friends, and you are one of them. I hope everything goes well for my cousin. Even in the future, I also hope that the human race and the demon race will live in harmony and no longer fight against each other."
"Cousin, take care of yourself. See you later."
Haikou touched the dragon's horns out of habit, "Who knows what will happen in the future? When you get back, say hello to your mother for me, and hope she can visit the old place of Dragon City again."
Haihualu took a few steps, then turned back and said, "By the way, if you see your father, Mr. Farewell, ask him on behalf of my eldest sister when he can let her see her daughter."
"Also, if he is free, please ask him to go to Dragon City and meet my eldest sister. You can't not show up for decades, right?"
Jiang Yao secretly cursed the old man, smiled a little awkwardly and said: "Okay. Cousin, don't worry, if I see him again, I will definitely bring the message to him."
As soon as he finished speaking, Hai Guo's body seemed to have disappeared in place, leaving the oasis.
Before leaving, Hai Coral couldn't help but glance at Little Taoist Sister Xuanmiao again.
"Aren't you leaving?" Jiang Yao looked at Xuan Miao, feeling a little troubled.
Xuan Miao slapped Xue on the forehead, "How can I leave? I don't have the teleportation treasure like her. Can I still cross the desert and go back here?"
Jiang Yao was a little surprised, "With your cultivation and amazing background, you don't have a powerful teleportation weapon?"
He himself has the Pisces Jade Pendant, Yu Kuan has the Feng Pan Pearl, Hai Coral and Pan Kang also have powerful teleportation treasures.
But there is no such person as Xuan Miao.
Xuan Miao shook his head: "I actually don't have many good treasures, and Master doesn't pay much attention to me. Moreover, I have been practicing Taoism in the mountains and rarely go out. Unlike you, you all have great opportunities."
"Those teleportation magic weapons are extraordinary treasures. How could I have them?"
When the little Taoist nun said this, her tone was a bit sour, with a hint of resentment.
Jiang Yao was a little surprised. Although the teleportation magic weapon was of a very high level and there were only a few of them in the world, he originally thought that with Xuan Miao's background and talent, there should be one.
After all, Luo Hong and others must have many powerful treasures.
But judging from her tone, it was true that she didn't.
"Jiang Yao, I will go back to the Ming Dynasty with you." The little Taoist nun said seriously, "Why can't you bear to watch me cross the desert again? I will die."
What? Go back with me?
No.
Jiang Yao's heart trembled. These female Taoist priests with dubious origins have just brought disaster to the Zhou Dynasty, and are they going to bring disaster to the Ming Dynasty?
If she went back with him, she might not be able to sleep well.
"Senior Sister Ah Xuan." Jiang Yao looked embarrassed, "Look, you are not the real Yu Yan. My detoxification for you has already misunderstood Yu Yan. How can I still take you back?"
"Besides, what does it mean for you to come back to the Ming Dynasty with me? We are neither relatives nor friends, and we are to be feared."
Xuan Miao sneered: "Then you don't want to? I am such a great beauty, and I will follow you back to the Ming Dynasty, but you still don't want to? Are you so afraid of Yu Kuan?"
"Oh!" Jiang Yao stamped his feet, "You monk! It makes no sense! This is not a matter of fear! Am I afraid of her? I don't want to cause trouble!"
This man was a little anxious. He looked into his mysterious star-like clear eyes and said in a sincere tone:
"To tell you the truth, I can't afford to offend a big shot like you. I hope to keep you at arm's length. If you have any problems in Ming Dynasty, I, Mr. Jiang, will not be able to explain to Mr. Luo Hong."
The little Taoist nun smiled, flipped up her hair, and said with a smile: "After talking for a long time, I am still afraid, afraid of my master, afraid of Uncle Li, right? Are you afraid that they will deal with you? Are you afraid that someone will pretend to be King Ming again at some point?"
Jiang Yao remained silent and just smiled bitterly.
Alas, this Taoist nun said it very directly. But that is the fact.
Yes, he is afraid of Luo Hong and Li Shizhen.
This group of people has always been hiding in history and is very good at disguise. Even Li Luoshu, Emperor Taizu of the Tang Dynasty, has not found out who they are.
But now, they have begun to stop hiding their secrets and start semi-public activities.
Does this mean that the world has made them unscrupulous and fearless?
After regaining his memory, he was no longer afraid of Xisheng and Concubine Canyao. He thought he was no longer afraid of anyone.
But now, he realized that he was wrong. He still has people who are afraid of him. This feeling is very uncomfortable.
Although Xuan Miao was relatively simple, Bing Xue was smart after all. She guessed Jiang Yao's thoughts right away and laughed:
"I know what you are thinking, and I understand it. To be honest, I don't know what kind of medicine Master and the others are selling in the gourd. But I believe that no matter what Master and the others do, they have their own reasons."
Jiang Yao sneered in his heart.
The truth?
What big reason can they have? It's just their own selfish interests.
There is essentially no difference from people like Jiang Zhengyi. The only difference is that their plans are more mysterious and their plans are longer-term.
After all, Jiang Yao is a person who has the memory of two lives. Based on the clues he has grasped, he inferred that Luo Hong and others may be related to the group of gods from the ancient times.
The boldest guess is that this group of people want to become gods, restore the theocratic era in which the gods dominated the world in the early ancient times, and even destroy the existing world and start over.
Jiang Yao is not sure whether the legendary theocratic era exists or whether the God-conferring War exists.
But if it really existed, that age of gods was also dark.
Only a handful of gods are high above, overlooking all living beings, enjoying the offerings and sacrifices of all living beings, and remain immortal forever, coexisting with the heaven and earth, and shining with the sun and the moon.
They occupy the position of gods, regard the common people as ants, judge the mortal world, and control the life, death, honor and disgrace of all living beings.
Under the gods, everyone is mortal.
What is even more despairing is that there is no way to ascend between immortals and mortals.
Gods will always be gods, and people will always be people. No matter how qualified you are, you can no longer master your power and extend your life through hard training.
The will of the gods controls everything, and mortals can no longer even think freely. Even if they curse the gods in their hearts, they will be spied on and punished by the gods.
Not only are they unable to resist, but the right to criticize and even the right to slander will be deprived of them.
In the end, we can only devote ourselves wholeheartedly to devout faith, worship and worship forever, and achieve the omnipotence, omniscience and omnipresence of a very small number of gods!
All living beings have actually become slaves of God, slaves of the whole body and soul, and their freedom has been completely lost.
This is the legend of the theocratic world in the early ancient times.
Jiang Yao now believes more and more that the legend of the theocratic era is true.
If it really existed, then Luo Hong and others are likely to be related to this legend.
Although it was just Jiang Yao's guess, this guess was enough to scare him.
If it's true...
Haha, to become a god, to create a god, what a great courage, what a great ambition!
"Jiang Yao, do you think you smell good? Do I have to go to the Ming Dynasty with you?" Xuan Miao saw Jiang Yao's unwillingness and felt her self-esteem was hurt.
"To tell you the truth, the reason why I want to go to the Ming Kingdom with you is to deal with Yu Kan's Zhou Kingdom. I really want to see Yu Kan and Zhou Kingdom suffer misfortune."
What?
Hearing this, Jiang Yao shook his head.
"Haha." Xuanmiao folded her arms and tilted her head with a sarcastic look on her face, "It's not that the poor must be in the Ming Dynasty. You must not misjudge the situation."
"If your Ming Dynasty does not accept Pindao, Pindao will go to other countries and fight against your Ming Dynasty."
"If I went to the Ming Dynasty and was still a helper, why would you refuse?"
"Even if you are afraid of my master, with me in the Ming Dynasty, there will be someone who can turn things around."
Jiang Yao thought for a while and said helplessly: "You can go to Ming Dynasty, but you can't pretend to be anyone else. I'm afraid of you."
After much deliberation, I felt that it would be safer to leave this Taoist nun in the Ming Dynasty.
At the very least, it will help stabilize that group of people.
Xuan Miao smiled, "How can it be so easy to impersonate? It requires Master's mind-taking technique to read certain information in people's hearts and then transmit the information to me. In addition, it also requires magical powers."
Jiang Yao asked directly: "Can you change magical powers? How many changes have you made?"
"How could I have such a powerful supernatural power?" Xuan Miao shook his head, "Only Master and Uncle Li can do it. Master has never taught me such a Taoist secret technique. It was Master who turned me into Yu Yan."
It turns out that it was Luo Hong who turned her into Yu Kuan, not her own transformation. Also, the magical power of transformation was a great evil power that was strictly forbidden to be practiced in ancient times. It is difficult to practice without being at the immortal level.
now it's right.
"Then, how will your master and Uncle Li change?" Jiang Yao took the opportunity to make a joke.
Xuan Miao, however, rolled her eyes and rolled her eyes at him, "Why are you asking these questions? Huh, you are asking too many questions. How could I know how many changes the Master will have?"
Jiang Yao immediately shut up, unable to ask any more questions.
"Okay, I promise to let you go to the Ming Dynasty with me, but as long as you stay in the Ming Dynasty, you must obey me and not act recklessly."
Xuan Miao then smiled with satisfaction, "Don't your Ming Dynasty still lack a Taoist Heavenly Master? Just give me the position of Great Heavenly Master and let me take charge of the Taoist Sect of the Ming Dynasty."
What? Use you as a great heavenly master?
His Highness Prince Ming hesitated immediately.
The Ming Dynasty restored Taoism, built many Taoist temples, and had many new Taoist priests. However, there was no great heavenly master in charge of Taoism.
Xuanmiao is a Taoist priest with advanced cultivation, so he is logically suitable to be a great heavenly master.
But the problem is that although she, a Taoist priest, and the new Taoist priests of the Ming Dynasty are both Taoist priests, they are actually not the same thing!
The new Taoist priests of the Ming Dynasty used ginger medicine to restore the ancient Taoist scriptures and restored them according to the Taoist system of ancient times.
It has an inheritance relationship with the Taoist priests of the Immortal Dynasty in ancient times. It is a "righteous sect" and is a natural member of the imperial court.
But Xuanmiao, a Taoist priest, is obviously not a "righteous sect", but an "evil sect" that was strictly prohibited and severely suppressed by the immortal dynasties in ancient times, also known as the left Taoist sect!
Although they are both Taoist priests, the relationship between the two is "orthodox" and "heretical".
It was a time of incompatibility between water and fire.
Letting Xuan Miao be the Grand Master of the Orthodox Taoist sect is like using a cardinal from the Holy See as the Patriarch of the Byzantine Orthodox Church.
There are two main reasons why Zuodaomen is called evil.
First, the magical powers they practice interfere too much with people's hearts. Zuo Dao Sect has practiced to the immortal level and can spy on people's hearts and observe people's private affairs. They are known as "all-knowing".
Isn't it scary?
The powerful Immortal of the Left Way can be unpredictable and even transform into multiple incarnations at the same time, and is known as "ubiquitous".
You think he is in the horizon, but he might be lurking next to you. Who wouldn’t be worried?
They use the power of their believers' faith to develop powerful means. Various spells and magic are unpredictable and strange, and they are known as "omnipotent".
Doesn’t it look like a legendary god?
Zuodaomen is good at and obsessed with magical powers, which can cause it to be difficult to distinguish between true and false, confuse right and wrong, confusion between good and evil, misplacement of right and wrong, indistinguishability between beauty and ugliness, ignorance of good and bad, and other evil consequences...
This has seriously disrupted the order of the world, making everyone in danger and suspicious. It is enough to cause people's hearts to become so bad that there is no longer any basis for trust.
What is destroyed is the human way, the royal way, and destiny.
How can the immortal courts of past dynasties tolerate this?
The second is that the Left Daoist sect is ambitious and has been trying to control the hearts of the world and seize the power of faith. The Left Daoists induce the people to worship themselves personally and let the people build temples to worship themselves.
This is tantamount to fighting for power with the Immortal Court.
Of course Fairy Court cannot tolerate it either.
These two reasons were enough to turn Zuodao Sect into a "heretical cult" and be suppressed by the Immortal Court.
Jiang Yao has memories of past lives. It is too unreasonable to use Xuan Miao to serve as the great master of the Taoist sect of the Ming Dynasty.
But if you don't agree, you may offend Luo Hong and make Luo Hong and others pay attention to you immediately.
After thinking for a long time, he could only hold his nose and agree.
Just think of it as a delaying tactic.
"Okay, then I will appoint Senior Sister A Xuan as the Great Celestial Master of the Taoist Sect of the Ming Dynasty, with a first-rank official position and the same position as the prime minister."
Jiang Yao was extremely distraught, but his expression was very calm, and he could not tell that he was against Zuodaomen.
Xuan Miao had actually been secretly observing Jiang Yao's expression, and seeing that he didn't look strange, he stopped thinking about it.
"Thank you, Your Highness, Prince Ming." Xuan Miao said with a smile, "I am a Mahayana real person who has been the emperor of the Zhou Dynasty for a few months, but I condescend to be the great master of your Ming Dynasty. You have actually made a profit."
Jiang Yao smiled bitterly: "Senior Sister Ah Xuan is right, I did make the money."
Fortunately, people like Xuan Miao are not difficult to deal with. Otherwise, Jiang Yao would be worried to death.
"Are you sure you want to go back to the Ming Dynasty with me?" Jiang Yao asked, "I still have to go to Blood Moon Ghost Island, and I won't be returning to China right away."
"Blood Moon Ghost?" Xuan Miao was startled, "I know where it is. I've been there, and I can take you there directly."
"Really?" This was an unexpected surprise to Jiang Yao.
He has never been to Blood Moon Ghost Island, has not located its location, and cannot use the Pisces Jade Pendant to teleport there directly.
But if Xuan Miao has been there, he can be teleported directly there.
Mysterious explanation: "The place I visited was not the Blood Moon Ghost, but a sand city very close to the Blood Moon Ghost. It was also a place of forbidden law, but it was only a day's journey from the Blood Moon Ghost."
We are only one day away from our destination, so we have already been there.
Xuanmiao stretched out a snow-white hand and said, "Give me your Pisces jade pendant, and I will inspire you to go there."
Jiang Yao gave the jade pendant to her, not afraid that she would run away after taking it.
Ah Jiu turned into a little snake again and got into Jiang Yao's sleeve. Ji Tuo and others also entered the life space.
With the Tongjing Bead, as long as he is not in a forbidden place, Jiang Yao can summon Ji Tuo to appear with just one thought, and there is no need to sacrifice the Mu Yuan Bead.
However, although it was still one day away from the Blood Moon Ghost, it was still a forbidden desert. Therefore, Jiang Yao did not let Xiao Hei enter the life space.
He rode directly on Xiao Hei's back.
Xuan Miao activated the jade pendant and took the initiative to grab Jiang Yao's hand.
Soon, the Pisces Jade Pendant emitted a ray of light, and the two people and the dog disappeared on the spot.
The next moment, the two people and the dog landed on a sand city.
The setting sun is like blood, and the vast sea is vast.
Although this city gate was annihilated by the long yellow sand, it still has the outline of a city gate because it is so majestic, and the city wall can still be seen at the highest point.
It is extremely high here. Looking around, you can overlook thousands of sand dunes. The sunset is extremely majestic.
You can imagine how dangerous and important this city gate was back then.
"This is Yunshuiguan!" Jiang Yao blurted out, "Back then, Li Luoshu used the Flying Mirror and led 10,000 strong troops to raid Yunshuiguan, leaving the Sui army passive."
Jiang Yao was very familiar with Yunshuiguan. When he saw this great pass in the world, he couldn't help but be filled with emotion.
The first generation Yang Xuanming led his troops through Yunshuiguan several times.
He didn't expect that the Blood Moon Ghost was actually near Yunshuiguan.
Xuanmiao pointed to the west, "I heard from my senior sister that if you go there for a day, there will be a blood moon and ghosts."
One day's walk west is the blood moon and ghosts?
When Jiang Yao heard this, he made a calculation in his mind, and his expression suddenly became startled.
Calculating the distance, isn't the place where Blood Moon Ghost is located the same Kansai Camp back then?
Absolutely right, it’s the location of Kansai Camp!
The Guanxi Camp was one of the Forbidden Army camps during the Sui and Tang Dynasties. It stationed more than one million gods (martial gods) all year round. It was a strategically important military group of the Immortal Heavenly Soldiers.
During the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the main force used for the Western Expedition was often the Guanxi Camp.
When Li Sui rebelled against the Tang Dynasty and restored the Sui Dynasty, the Guanxi camp once supported him.
When the war against the Tang Dynasty was tense, Li Sui once used the Kansai Camp as his palace and lived there for two years.
Jiang Yao couldn't help but look in the direction of the Kansai Camp to the west, her heartbeat rising.
Unexpectedly, the Kansai camp back then was now the mysterious and dangerous Blood Moon Ghost.
Jiang Yao shook his head and stopped looking to the west.
At this time, the little black ears suddenly stood up and barked fiercely towards someone in the west.
"Woof woof!"
Jiang Yao and Xuanmiao looked back in shock, and then they understood why Xiao Hei was barking all of a sudden.
With just one glance, the two of them were stunned.
Even Jiang Yao, who has an extremely strong psychological quality, blinked in disbelief...
