Taoist Ma Pao squatted on the ground with a tired look on his face. He did not have the bearing of an expert from the Xian family: "I don't care if you want to go down the mountain and join the world. I don't care if you want your disciples to follow the world of mortals. You want to live with experts from other countries."
Beat him to death, I don't care. Well, if you can't beat him now, just bring out the ancestors and force me to step in. I am too frustrated to be the leader."
Xuan Tugong said: "Since Master passed the throne to you back then, it was because I wanted you to take on a big responsibility. We all know that although you rarely get involved in the world of mortals, you often go down the mountain, sell medicine and divination, and warn the world. Southwest.
The people of Jinyang County say that the Gourd Taoist who killed the water demon and rescued the baby is you, junior brother, right?"
Taoist Ma Pao looked like he was afraid that the elders in his family would find out about his mischief. He did not dare to raise his head: "You are all big shots. You usually go in and out of the prince's mansion. The disciples here are not the royal family members, but also the children of generals and ministers.
The countryside is dirty and smelly, so naturally you won't like it."
Xia Huanggong nodded slightly: "We have indeed been negligent in these years. When the four of us were entrusted by our disciples, we originally had the intention of helping the world and helping the people. Unfortunately, as our status grew, we became further and further away from our original intention."
Xuan Tugong said: "But I'm afraid that Liang Tao will come with boundless divine power in the future. When the two countries are at war again, tens of thousands of people in the Xiong Kingdom will be in trouble. If we can't plan for the future, what will happen in the future?
It may be extremely difficult to stop the chaos."
Fang Yuanzi also said: "And it's not just Liang Tao. I have fought against Zhao Shui, the successor of the praise officer of Huaxu Kingdom. His cultivation is not ordinary, and his attainments in rituals and legal affairs are superb. In the beginning, the demon god of Nantu
To bring about the meteors from the sky is to be reversed by Zhao Shu's method, so that hundreds of miles of scorched earth deep in the southern soil, mountains and rivers collapsed, and the water and soil were imbalanced.
We have sent disciples to inquire about the situation and learned that Zhao Shui has spread mandalas all over the Huaxu Kingdom. This situation is even better than that of the Tianxia Dynasty in the past. At that time, the head master was in charge of the continuous iron barrier, so he should know the mystery of it. In addition, Zhao Shui
In the name of opening an altar to patrol the country, we have reduced the mighty powers in the country, and the country of Huaxu has become increasingly prosperous, so we must have countermeasures."
Taoist Ma Pao sighed: "Senior brothers and sisters, we have all witnessed the rise and fall of success and failure, and the artifact Yiding. There is no need to get involved in the disputes between the Xiong Kingdom and the Huaxu Kingdom.
In such troubled times, we should have closed the mountains for cultivation and strictly guarded the cave gates, but you have dragged the entire Shangjing Sect into troubled times. Not many of the disciples are paying attention to the immortal way. This situation has long been severed from the inheritance. I will ascend in the future.
After that, how should we face the ancestors?"
These words pushed the other three people back. Only Yizhenzi slapped his thigh and stood up to scold: "Master, do you want to sit back and watch thousands of people in the Xiong Kingdom fall into misery? In the past, I have accumulated some small merits and deeds. If you really encounter
It’s a huge disaster, but we have to hide in the mountains?”
Taoist Ma Pao held up his face and said: "Junior brother, I don't think I have such a big mind, and I can only accumulate some small merits. If you think so, how about I give up the position of head to you?"
Yizhenzi's face froze, and Xuan Tugong also frowned and stamped his feet: "Junior brother! With your level, do you still say such stupid things? How can you give up the position of the leader so easily?!"
"Because I'm willing to give it up." Taoist Ma Pao stood up and patted his robe, his expression turned cold: "The position of head is mainly about spreading the Dharma and enlightening the world. With all due respect, Shangjing Sect seems to be prosperous now, but in fact it is in great danger.
The trouble lies within, not outside.
What else can such a leader do except clean up the situation for you? Similarly, the survival of the Xiong Kingdom does not depend on the Shangjing Zong family. If they cannot resist Hua Xuguo and Liang Tao, they should surrender as soon as possible.
Surrender and bring peace to thousands of people."
Xia Huanggong slowly shook his head: "Junior brother, do you really think that after surrendering and surrendering, you can enjoy peace? How many immortal cultivating sects were wiped out by Liang Tao in Huaxu Kingdom?
If he ascends to the Shinto throne, he will definitely not be content with just occupying the eastern side, Shangjing Sect, and Tiancheng Mountain. How can you abandon the inheritance of so many generations at will? Moreover, Shangjing Sect has rarely faced evil attacks in the past.
If we could really stay out of it, why would we have to get involved in the world back then?"
"Do you have to ask me to take action?" Taoist Ma Pao asked: "Have you never thought that my cultivation and magic power are actually not as good as Liang Tao's?"
"We will go with you." Xuan Tu Gong said: "Moreover, the leader of Huaxu Kingdom is also planning to deal with Liang Tao and Chongxuan Hall. We only need to strike at the right time to cut off Liang Tao's way of survival. There is no need to take risks and fight head-on."
"This cannot be accomplished with a large number of people." Taoist Master Ma Pao said: "Now Liang Tao has participated in creation, and his energy connects the heaven and the earth. Ordinary magic can't hurt him at all. Not to mention me, even if three or two immortals come,
, I guess I can only barely suppress him.
If you really want to kill such a person, you don't know how much it will cost. And I'm afraid no one can afford the burden afterwards. This is why Liang Tao's achievements are getting bigger and bigger, but no immortal family has come forward to stop it. There are some things that your realm has not yet reached.
So far, I still can’t understand it.”
Xuantu Gong said: "Junior brother, you were the first to see through Xuanju that he was banished to the world. You were so fashionable and dared to deal with an immortal who was banished to the world. Why do you shrink back when facing Liang Tao now?"
"My knowledge was shallow and I was young and frivolous. I regret it now." Taoist Ma Pao looked around at the four princes across from him and sighed: "Shangjing Sect has its current status because of slaying the dragon. I'm afraid it will also decline in the future."
"Junior brother, what you said is too much." Duke Xia Huang said, stroking his beard: "If you leave Liang Tao alone, I'm afraid disaster will strike first. We only have one question for you, do you want to help or not?"
"You guys..." Taoist Ma Pao thought for a long time and then said: "I can go to Difei Mountain, but I can only decide when to take action. Brothers, please don't make your own decisions."
The four princes looked at each other, then stood up and respectfully replied: "I will obey the master's decree!"
…
In a deep valley, giant trees tower into the sky, their canopy is like a canopy, covering the sky, and wisps of green light hang down from the branches and leaves, drifting into the sunset on the horizon.
I saw a graceful woman sitting under the giant tree, her hair disheveled, her eyes closed and she was asleep.
Suddenly, the woman opened her eyes and raised her hand as if she had foresight. A leaf fell silently from the crown of the tree above and landed right in the woman's palm.
The veins on the leaves were twisting and moving in strange ways. The woman looked at them for a long time and couldn't help but show doubts. She stood up and jumped among the undulating terrain formed by the roots of the giant tree.
The woman came to a cave, where a large number of letters were stored. While the woman was looking through them, a maid said:
"Goddess, the high priest asks to see you."
"I know." The woman replied casually without blinking her eyes, "I'll be there later."
The so-called "later" actually meant that it was late at night when the woman walked out of the cave where the books were stored.
"No matter what, you and I are now husband and wife. I didn't expect that it would still be so difficult to see you."
A tall man stood outside the stilt house, looking at the evergreen sacred tree that still bloomed with green light at night.
"You and I are just getting married to form a marriage alliance between Shengsi Valley and Yongcui Temple. I said that before you truly unify all the tribes in Jiuli, we only have the status of husband and wife, but no real life as husband and wife."
As the goddess of Yongcui Temple, this slender woman is not a weak person. When facing the high priest of Shengsi Valley, she did not soften her words at all. She raised her hand and waved, and the vines beside the house attracted a sweet spring flow as if commanded.
Open your mouth and drink it directly, your style is rough and barbaric.
The high priest asked: "I just heard that the sacred tree gave another prophecy?"
"Which bitch who wants to please you told you this?" The goddess crossed her arms and sneered.
"I asked casually, and they said it." The high priest asked: "Is the prophecy related to the situation in Huaxu Kingdom? I sensed the turbulence of the clouds in the northeast, which was comparable to the weather when the star returned, so I came here specially
I’m looking for you to clear up my doubts.”
"It's the Zhenming Marquis of Huaxu Kingdom again." The goddess's expression turned serious: "And this time the situation is not that simple. In the prophecy of the sacred tree, it is mentioned that in the future, the three talents will have their murderous intentions at the same time. At that time, the stars will change and the dragon and snake will rise.
, all kinds of disasters are coming to Kunlun Continent, and Jiuli Kingdom cannot avoid it."
The high priest's expression was subtle: "This prophecy is an exaggeration. Is your interpretation really correct?"
"You don't believe it?" the goddess asked, raising her hand: "If the high priest doesn't believe it, he can just turn around and leave."
The high priest had no choice but to say: "When I came to Yongcui Temple for advice, you told me not to get involved in the battle to retake Jiaohui Cave, otherwise I would be killed. The result was exactly as you said, and more than half of the nine gods were lost.
All the Ju Shi Wus were defeated. Not only did I escape the disaster, but I also had the opportunity to unify all the Jiuli tribes. But... the theory of the murderous intention of the three talents is really unbelievable."
"I understand your suspicion." The goddess said: "Not everyone can pin their destiny on a tree. Smart people always think that they can control their own destiny.
But I also want to advise you, the sacred tree is rooted in the heaven and earth, and the changes in energy it can sense are endless. Even those who have achieved immortality may not be able to compare with the sacred tree."
The high priest had no choice but to ask: "Then how should we deal with this disaster predicted by the sacred tree?"
"If nothing unexpected happens, Liang Tao and Difeishan will be the key to this disaster." The goddess said.
The high priest was puzzled: "What? Do you want to go far to the hinterland of Huaxu Kingdom? Liang Tao is one of the top experts in Kunlun. If you and I want to deal with him alone, I'm afraid it's a bit too much."
The goddess smiled and said: "If you want to deal with Liang Tao, you don't have to go to Huaxu Kingdom."
"Oh? Could it be that Madam has another trick?" the high priest became interested.
The goddess led the high priest to the back hall, and after unlocking the many restrictions on spells, she took out several red copper-colored spikes from a stone cabinet.
"Husband, can you recognize this thing?" the goddess said with a smile.
The high priest took the spike and felt a warmth when he put it in his hand. It didn't look like gold or iron at all.
"This is...the God-killing Nail!" The high priest was shocked.
"That's right." The goddess said eloquently: "In those days, the Tianxia Dynasty expanded its territory in all directions and had a confrontation with the gods of the Southern Earth. The Shixi tribe entrusted King Turtle to draw the land into rivers and breathe clouds and mist in order to stop Tianxia's army. As a result,
However, he was captured by the official of praise and opened the altar. He was dragged directly out of the lair and had thirty-six god-killing nails. He was hit by wind and thunder, and his body and soul were destroyed. In my early years, I traveled to various tribes, guided by the sacred tree,
Discover the place where the turtle king of Shixi was tortured and find these god-killing nails."
"This nail has been tempered by the power of the punishment of wind and thunder. It is indeed a sharp weapon against immortals and gods." The high priest rubbed the long nail in his hand, and faintly heard bursts of thunder in his ears, which was mysterious and hard to describe.
The goddess smiled and said: "Liang Tao is known as a living immortal. I wonder if he can withstand the power of the praise officer to kill the form and spirit?"
The high priest then asked: "Then what method should be used to drive the God-killing Nail to Liang Tao?"
"As the Great Monarch of Fire Virtue, don't you have nothing to do?" The goddess asked: "The five directions and five virtues of Kunlun Continent are connected with each other, and the five qi travel through the sky. What should I do next? Do you need me to tell you?"
The high priest stared at the God-killing Nail in his hand and showed a confident expression: "This time, let Huaxu Kingdom taste the taste of impending disaster!"
…
Waves of whipping sounds and yells filled the foot of the mountain. Thousands of civilians were carrying on their shoulders, digging hard rocks and carrying sand. Rong supervisors with wolf heads and bodies were holding long thorn whips and whipping the backs of those who were slow to move.
superior.
"Hurry up! If the shrine cannot be built before winter, all of you will use it to bury the nobles!" The Rong supervisor whipped again and beat the old and weak to death. With a wave of his hand, some of his men would kill him.
The corpse was carried away, chopped into pieces with knives and axes not far away, and stewed in a large pot for other soldiers to eat and satisfy their hunger.
On the high terrace, there was endless singing and dancing. A tall man with a bronze complexion, bare chest, sat on the throne, holding a gilt skull bowl. On the left and right were naked and beautiful women, some of whom were actually naked.
It has a strange appearance with horns on its head and cow and sheep legs on its lower body.
Listening to the whipping, scolding and painful wails coming from the wind, the tall man felt that the wine in the skull bowl became more and more fragrant. He took a full sip and blood-like wine flowed from the corner of his mouth.
"Meet my king."
A sheep-headed soldier wearing a civil servant's clothes came to the terrace and said in a flattering tone: "Yelun City presented thirty beautiful ladies a few days ago. Do you want to see them now, my king?"
The burly man raised his eyebrows: "Oh? Bring it up."
The sheep-headed Rong people gave high-fives, and thirty women in gauze dresses stepped onto the terrace and lined up in several rows in front of the burly man.
"I don't like women wearing clothes, take them off." The tall man said casually.
The thirty women were already frightened, and some of them didn't seem to understand. They froze there without making any move. Just as the sheep-headed warrior was about to urge him, the burly man raised his finger lightly, and a golden light flew out, hitting the slow-moving woman directly.
Turned into ashes, no flesh and bones were visible, only short screams echoed on the stage.
"You are really as stupid as a pig." The burly man was slightly unhappy: "It is said that Yuelun City is run by a group of shrewd merchants. Why did they send a group of fools here? Since you despise me so much, there is no need to stay in Yuelun City.
, we will send troops tomorrow to raze it to the ground."
"Wait a minute!" One of the Yuelun City women took the initiative to dissuade her: "The King of Hundreds of Phases has been famous for a long time, is he such a short-sighted and narrow-minded person? The person who is the most powerful in Kunlun is probably an ignorant and reckless man.
