Thirty-four copper pillars as thick as millstones are arranged in sequence, embossed with various mythical beasts and different species between heaven and earth, supporting the spacious and majestic hall. In the hall, the lights are brightly lit, the spiritual pool is smoking, and the god attendant Xun is dressed in colorful ribbons and silk.
As he walked back and forth, he was presented with all kinds of fine wines and fruits.
Zhang Ruochen was dressed in regular clothes, with his hair tied up in a simple bun, holding a golden page of "The Sutra of the Origin of the Supreme Being", and sitting in the first seat on the right row in the hall. His posture, appearance, and expression did not look like Zhang Gushen
His father is more like his brother.
Not a single word of origin on the gold paper was left, and it had long since escaped to the other end of the Great Wall of Beizawa with the clone of the Supreme Origin.
The words can only be reproduced through deduction or through the power of reverse time.
"Wow!"
With the power of going against time, it poured into the square inch where the gold paper was.
The disappearing words of origin one by one reappeared like living creatures, jumping and flickering on the paper.
But only Zhang Ruochen could see it.
Xiang Chunan stood behind Zhang Ruochen, lying on the back of the chair, trying hard to open his eyes like copper bells, his face almost touching the gold paper, and said: "There is nothing, what is there to see? Brother
, If you ask me, I should have invited a few more ancestors to take action at that time, and left those origin texts and the clones of the bullshit Origin Supreme. After studying them clearly, knowing ourselves and the enemy, we can have greater confidence in future fights."
"What you said makes sense, so why didn't you invite me?" Zhang Ruochen said.
Xiang Chunan showed a look of embarrassment: "How can I easily invite the ancestor? Moreover, no one thought that when I went to hunt for a nine-death emperor, I bumped into a strong man from outside the world? Who could have thought of it? Who could have predicted it in advance?
Judgment?"
Zhang Ruochen smiled noncommittally, put away the gold paper, hid it in his sleeve, and said as if talking to himself: "This Taoism that originated from the Supreme Being has the same origin as the burial gold of Baize in the previous era.
The existence of years as the measure of life is really not simple."
Although a large number of catastrophes have not yet come, the Era War can definitely be regarded as a watershed between the old and new eras.
From then on, the heavenly universe, hell, sword world, heavenly wasteland, and earthly wasteland will gradually become the past, and will be replaced by the six-path universe, or the war galaxy.
Now is the beginning of the new era.
Shi Qiandai said: "Master's long lifespan and infinite Taoism, how can you, a junior, be able to fathom it?"
Zhang Ruochen was not angry, and his soft and smiling eyes finally fell on her.
Shi Qiandai is nearly two meters tall, and her body proportions are extremely perfect. The length of her straight and snow-white legs is three points longer than that of Luo Ji, who has the same leg length.
Although he is already a prisoner, bound by the chains of Haotian's ancestor rules, his eyes still have the cold arrogance of the Queen of Heaven and the God-Emperor.
She glanced at the empty throne at the top of the hall and said, "Where's the great emperor? Why hasn't he shown up yet?"
In Shi Qiandai's view, she was the half-ancestor of Kamikura Furuzawa and a disciple of Supreme Origin. How could she attract the attention of the number one person in the Zhan Galaxy?
After being escorted to the Origin Temple for so long, she only saw the young man in front of her, arm-in-arm with Xiang Chunan, which was really not what she expected.
Xuetu sneered: "I, the greatest emperor of the Six Paths Universe, are sitting in front of you, but you can't recognize him. To say that you are short-sighted is an insult to the word knowledge."
Sitting beside the table filled with fine wines and fruits, Zhang Gushen, Wuyue, Moon God, Monk Fanchen, Venerable Cihang, Qingsi Xue, Jingdao Man, Meng Ge and others all had more or less expressions on their faces.
's smile emerged.
"He is..."
Shi Qiandai stared at Zhang Ruochen again, first of all in disbelief.
But the more I looked at it, the more shocked I became.
This young man has completely returned to his original nature, and does not see any of the aura that should be found in an extremely strong man.
The weirdest place is right here.
She is not an ordinary monk, but a well-informed half-ancestor, the top living being in the universe.
Even if a person like the Origin Supreme uses Qi-condensing methods, she can feel something extraordinary.
Zhang Ruochen smiled and nodded to her: "I am not a great emperor, and the six realms have long been taken care of by the God of Grain. But I think I should be the person you want to see."
Shi Qiandai quickly calmed down and said: "It's unbelievable that a being with a cultivation level as strong as yours can actually make a group of inferior monks sit on an equal footing with you. With such a lack of majesty and the collapse of etiquette, you are not afraid of fighting against the order of the galaxy.
Chaotic and falling apart?”
"Inferior monk...who are you talking about?"
Xiang Chunan was a little anxious, thinking that Shi Qiandai might be talking about him.
"What about you?"
The Jingdao people acted like they had nothing to do with themselves, holding up their white jade cups and sipping tea with an air of enjoyment.
He is the pinnacle of the Half-Ancestor and is invincible under the First Ancestor. How could he be an inferior monk?
Xiang Chunan said: "She is talking about a group of people."
The Jingdao man recalled it carefully, his eyes suddenly bulged, and he said angrily: "Di Chen is easy-going and has a heart that is open to all rivers. Sitting here with me is a friend of a brother. We are bound by old friendships. Why did it come into your mouth?"
...It means the collapse of etiquette."
"Di Chen, Pindao wants to fight her again. This time one on one, I won't be able to defeat her."
Zhang Ruochen raised his hand to stop and appease the people in the well, and asked with a smile: "Does everyone in the Virgo Super Galaxy Sea respect etiquette?"
Shi Qiandai did not expect that the other party was such a reasonable, polite person, so elegant, and naturally extremely charming. If the relationship between the two parties was not hostile, she would really admire him.
This is the thought.
She was shocked.
If the opponent can reach the pinnacle of cultivation, there will be mountains of corpses and seas of blood at his feet. How can he be a simple person?
If it is abnormal, there must be a trick.
Shi Qiandai said coldly: "The sea of galaxies is vast, the universe is majestic, and there are tens of millions of civilizations. Naturally, etiquette is not the priority everywhere."
"But the king, the king, the ministers, the fathers, the sons, the superiors and the subordinates follow the example. This must be the key to the stability of a civilization."
"If the etiquette and music at the top are broken, the morality will be ruined below."
"If you are merciful above, there will be chaos below. This has always been the case since ancient times!"
Zhang Ruochen looked at Zhang Gushen: "What did you say?"
Zhang Gushen looked calm and steady as he stood up and said: "My child, I would like to argue with Senior Shi! In my opinion, the key to the stability of civilization is not those old and decadent etiquette."
"The strict hierarchical system set up by kings and ministers, father and son, superior and inferior, seems to be in line with the general rules, but in fact it is a master-slave system. Although it can maintain peace for a while, it only restrains human nature and forcibly suppresses the injustice. Once it breaks out, The sky is falling."
"Furthermore, if the top is broad but the law is not broad, why is it chaotic below?"
"The old etiquette and laws are full of bad habits. The new laws should be supplemented by virtues, virtues should be followed by oneself, and the Tao should be spread to the world. If everyone follows it, wouldn't it be more popular than kings, ministers, fathers and sons?"
Taking advantage of the situation, Zhang Gushen bowed to Zhang Ruochen: "Father, I request that from now on, the wise men from all over the world will be summoned to jointly compile the Six Paths New Law."
"That's right!"
Zhang Ruochen thought for a while and then said: "Miss Shi is the half-ancestor of Yuwai who has seen the big world, a big figure in the Council of All Beings, and has profound knowledge. She will assist you in writing books and legislation. You should ask her for advice more often and learn from her humbly. "
Everyone in the hall was surprised.
Even Shi Qiandai herself looked suspicious, feeling that she was unexpected.
You know, on the way to being escorted, she was ready to be buried in the palace, imprisoned forever, tortured... and so on.
"What does this mean? Brother, have you appointed her an official?" Xiang Chunan said it was difficult to understand.
Zhang Ruochen nodded, pointed his finger over, and commented: "Miss Shi is beautiful and has extraordinary knowledge. Her half-ancestral cultivation is the origin of a supreme disciple. If such a talent is abandoned by me and the galaxy, wouldn't it be used by people outside the world?" Ridiculous? Besides, Miss Shi didn’t make any mistakes, so why can’t we be more tolerant?”
Jingdao Ren said: "She is colluding with the Nine-Death Emperor to subvert our Six Paths Universe."
"Where is the Nine-Death Emperor now?" Zhang Ruochen asked.
The person in the well said: "Dead."
Zhang Ruochen asked again: "Has she ever killed a six-path cosmic monk?"
The well man was speechless for a moment and had nothing to say.
Xuetu suddenly stood up: "Senior Brother is so wise! With such magnanimity, his reputation will spread far and wide in the Virgo Super Galaxy Sea. Will monks from outside the universe come to join him one after another in the future? I think that not only should Senior Shi be an official, but she should also be able to do this In a more distinguished position, such as imperial concubine... pretend I didn't say anything."
Everyone in the hall, including Shi Qiandai, gave him several cold looks, which frightened Xue Tu and quickly sat back.
Shi Qiandai couldn't see through Zhang Ruochen's trick and sneered: "Your Excellency, you think that by using such a low-level counterintuitive strategy, Master will lose trust in me? Shencang Guze will regard me as a traitor? Toying with a person?" Destiny is indeed a very interesting thing, but it can easily be counterattacked."
"What kind of counterattack?"
Zhang Ruochen asked with interest.
Shi Qiandai said: "If you don't kill me today, when Master and Shencang Furuzawa's army cross the Great Wall of Beizawa, when the Origin Temple collapses, I will never miss you today, but will become a subversive
A member of the Six Paths Universe Army."
"It doesn't matter, I can still bear the backlash." After thinking about it, Zhang Ruochen said again: "By the way... our own people call us the Six Paths Universe. Don't you monks outside the universe call us the Zhan Galaxy? This change of yours
, very good, changed very quickly.”
"Wow——"
As Zhang Ruochen waved his hand, the ancestral rule chains bound to Shi Qiandai disappeared from the body surface and sank into the flesh, restoring freedom of movement.
Shi Qiandai was overjoyed, and what she wanted to see most was to be despised by the other party.
Only in this way can she have a chance to escape!
But soon, the hidden joy in her heart completely dissipated because she saw that Zhang Ruochen actually made a clay figurine in his hand that looked exactly like her.
This is clearly the method of her master's "Origin Supreme"!
The clay man and her are already linked by fate.
If the clay figurine is shattered, her true body will also fall into pieces.
Xuanyuan Taihao was able to smash the clay figurine and get rid of the magic of the origin of Taishang's clone phantom, because he was the ancestor and his cultivation was strong enough. But Shi Qiandai didn't have the slightest confidence to break the magic of this great emperor of heaven.
No.
She calmed down her mind, not daring to have any more distracting thoughts, and sat down in an orderly manner.
The banquet officially begins.
This is a reception banquet. After all, Master Jing, Meng Ge, Venerable Cihang, and Monk Fanchen are all prominent figures in the universe. You can't come to the Temple of Origin without having a cup of tea.
What's more, they are old friends.
During the dinner, Zhang Ruochen asked about the whereabouts of Xu Tian and Gai Mie.
The Jingdao people told them that they had ghosts in their hearts and did not dare to come to the Origin Temple. After killing the Nine-Death Emperor, they left separately. He also emphasized that Xu Fengjin had taken away an ancestral mark and three artifact seals.
Eat more and occupy more. I hope Zhang Ruochen can knock one or two at the right time to prevent the old ghost from getting too arrogant.
"I heard that my senior brother is getting married. I wonder which senior sister-in-law he is going to marry?"
When Xue Tu asked this question, his eyes unconsciously glanced at the Moon God.
There was no emotion on Moon Goddess's flawless face, and she sat dignified and quiet, like a listener who had nothing to do with herself.
Zhang Ruochen also stared at the Moon God and said deliberately: "That's a lot! A confidant in youth, a beauty in times of need. Some have already been engaged, some have been married for a long time, and of course I like it.
But she didn’t want to…”
Hearing this, Shi Qiandai snorted: "I thought the emperor was such a gentleman, but it turned out that he was just a hegemon who forced others into trouble for his own pleasure. If others don't want to, there must be their own reasons. If you marry by force, you have something to do with a robber.
What's the difference?"
"I didn't force myself to marry you, so why do you talk so much?" Xue Tu said.
Shi Qiandai's face changed slightly and she didn't dare to say anything. She was really afraid that the emperor of Zhan Xingxing would take notice of him and forcibly marry her as his concubine. Then she would really not be able to go back, and she would definitely be ruined by the entire Shencang Guze.
The monks spurned and reviled him.
Xuetu glanced at everyone in the hall and quietly sent a message to Zhang Ruochen: "The unwilling sister-in-law that the senior brother refers to is Master Fengtian?"
Even Xue Tu himself felt awkward asking this question.
Zhang Ruochen said: "What are Chuanyin doing? She's not here, what are you afraid of?"
"Senior brother... you are not afraid, but Master is known as the God of Death. There is no one under the First Ancestor whom she dare not kill."
Xuetu smiled bitterly, and continued to use voice transmission, saying in a low voice: "I think it is not that Master Fengtian is unwilling to become a Taoist couple with his senior brother, but that he is unwilling to marry the Emperor of Tiandao and become a member of the Nine Palaces and Seventy-two Gardens.
One of the concubines. She has feelings in her heart, but it is a very possessive feeling and she is unwilling to share it with anyone."
"Moreover, the weight of love in her heart may not be as important as that of the ancestors. So this matter is very difficult to handle!"
Zhang Ruochen said: "Some things are not up to her. Well, I am short of someone to go to the Temple of Destiny to propose marriage. You are my dearest junior brother, can you go there for me?"
Xue Tu was so frightened that he almost fell off his seat, attracting curious glances from everyone.
Xuetu quickly sent a message and begged: "Brother, please spare me! I dare to go to the Temple of Destiny with the betrothal gift. Believe it or not, Master Fengtian will cut it into eight pieces on the spot and put it into the betrothal gift box for you.
Send me back? She will only feel that I betrayed her. Besides, there is no reason in the world for a junior brother to help his senior brother pay tribute to his master, right?"
Zhang Ruochen smiled and said: "You think of Caiyi too cruelly! She actually has a gentle side, and she's not that scary."
Xue Tu disagreed and said quickly: "I still hold the same view as before. Senior brother, you should be stronger and do it yourself. Master is a tough person but not soft. She can't beat you!"
"Do you have to touch Fengtian's hair backwards?" Zhang Ruochen asked.
Xuetu said: "Yes, yes, that's the truth."
"Okay! I will relay your words to her exactly as they are." Zhang Ruochen said.
Xue Tu was about to cry but had no tears. He was forced to think hard about countermeasures. Finally, as if he had made up his mind, he gritted his teeth and said, "I have a plan!"
"speak!"
Xuetu said: "First, let Queen Chi Yao list the charges, remove Master Fengtian from her position as the palace master, and capture her to the Origin Temple. Then let Emperor Ming and Master Xuehou go to propose marriage. The face of others, Fengtian
Master won't give it, but she must carefully consider these two people going there in person. In this way, senior brother won't have to be a bad guy, and everything should fall into place."
"What a good strategy. He is worthy of being the proud disciple of Lord Fengtian." Zhang Ruochen thought about it carefully and felt that Blood Massacre's strategy was very good, but the specific implementation needed to be considered in detail.
Xuetu was completely wilted and sighed: "Senior brother... you don't need to scold him so harshly..."
…
After the banquet, the monks left one after another and did not stay in the Origin Temple for long. After all, their trip was just to escort Shi Qiandai to the Origin Temple for trial.
Before leaving, everyone claimed that they would come with generous gifts to congratulate the emperor on his wedding day.
Zhang Ruochen sent Venerable Cihang out of the palace, condensed a green lotus of eternal merits in the palm of his hand, and said: "On that day, Venerable, you gave up your merits for all lifetimes and gave up the path of your ancestors to help me break through. Today, Ruochen returns with extreme gratitude.
, this green lotus also contains a part of my spiritual practice."
Venerable Cihang would not refuse. He took the Green Lotus of Eternal Merits into his body and smiled: "Looking back at the things we first met in heaven, when everyone was still young, I was in good times, and you
But we are in the most dangerous adversity, and we need the protection of the moon god to survive... I won’t mention the past, we have met at the peak now, right?"
How could Zhang Ruochen not understand the good intentions of Venerable Cihang? He was obviously using past events to persuade him to be kind to the Moon God. He smiled and said, "Of course."
Venerable Cihang smiled: "Then let's say goodbye at the peak! I'm afraid I won't be able to come to congratulate you on your wedding. I picked this lotus seed in the Xiang Xiang Pond, and treat it as a congratulatory gift. Wait until it blooms.
That day will definitely be when we meet again outside the universe. I hope that the world will really be peaceful by then!"
She left!
To preach outside the six realms of the universe is also to be a forerunner who resists ancestor participation.
This game of chess is destined to have a lot of chess pieces, and they must be scattered out first. Those who survive must take root and spread their branches, so that they can become a force that moves the entire galaxy sea in the future.
Back in the hall, Zhang Ruochen's eyes fell on Wu Yue and Yue Shen, and he said in a depressed tone: "Venerable Cihang has left. She will be the forerunner of the Six Paths Universe and may never see each other again in the future. Before she left, she mentioned
You said that if it weren’t for your protection back then, I wouldn’t be alive today.”
Moon Goddess's red lips were shining brightly, and she said calmly: "What's the point of mentioning something that has already passed?"
"She also said that I should marry you, otherwise I will be despised by everyone in the world, and I, Zhang Ruochen, will be called ungrateful." Zhang Ruochen said.
Luna thought about these words seriously, as if she felt the pain in Zhang Ruochen's heart.
Wuyue on the side frowned slightly, always feeling that Venerable Cihang was not a person who liked to meddle in his personal affairs so deeply.
…
The tentative release date for the new book is the 30th at the end of the month. There will probably be several additional chapters, which will be updated on the 20th.
I have talked with many editors and authors about the beginning of the new book. Anyway, it should be different from what everyone imagined.
Let me tell you some of my favorite elements, such as the unknown and danger, mystery and desolation, grandeur and novelty, troubled times and human nature, delicate love and hatred, and a group of charming people fighting in mental games and pursuing their own pursuits.
