Chapter 495: Past and Future

Since ancient times, believers of Huangtian Dao have been working hard to pray to Huangtian God and pray for communication with the distant Huangtian world.

Some people became crazy because of this.

There are also people who claim that they have truly completed communication and received revelation from God.

Some people even claim to have heard God’s voice and received God’s gift…

At this moment, Zhang Xinhui felt a hazy call coming from the void.

There was a yellow cloud rising in front of his eyes.

The endless starry sky appears in the clouds and mist.

The stars emitted a strange light.

Waves of indescribable singing came from the starry sky.

Amidst the hymns of the stars, a huge yellow planet fell from the sky.

That is where the Huangtian World is.

Zhang Xinhui's eyes were attracted by the never-ending black and yellow storm on the planet.

Even though the storm was full of extreme distortions and changes, it was constantly spreading long air currents that were pathological and contrary to human beauty.

But there is always an indescribable magic that stirs the heartstrings.

The more Zhang Xinhui looked at it, the more fascinated he became.

As if following the changes in the airflow of the black and yellow storm, his consciousness also escaped from the human world and went to the Huangtian world nine days away.

'My God, is this the revelation you gave me?'

In the endless storm, Zhang Xinhui seemed to see himself as a young man in the past, and saw scenes from the past.

Zhang Xinhui was born into poverty. When he was eight years old, in order to support his family, he went to the streets every morning to sell dried tofu.

Because he often attended classes outside the academy and occasionally helped students with their homework, he was later spotted by the academy's teachers and became a disciple for free.

Zhang Xinhui, who had no money to practice martial arts, was very grateful to the academy teacher for his appreciation and firmly grasped this opportunity.

The next step was to study hard in the cold window, read a lot of books, and study without sleep and food every day.

Because of his intelligence, studiousness and extraordinary talent, Zhang Xinhui quickly became famous in the local area. He almost ranked first in the academy's monthly exams every month.

Because he came from a lower class background, Zhang Xinhui was used to seeing the sufferings of the people since he was a child, and he once had the ambition to govern the country and bring peace to the country.

He dreams that one day he will be named on the gold medal list and wipe out the desolate countryside and poor people's livelihood that he has seen since he was a child.

But after he fell pregnant at the age of 12, and until he was 40, every exam Zhang Xinhui took ended in failure.

Continuous failures were a serious blow to Zhang Xinhui's original ambition.

In order to make a living, Zhang Xinhui, after two consecutive failures, became a teacher for local wealthy people to support his family.

His long teaching career allowed him to witness the arrogant and luxurious life of those wealthy families at close range, which was in sharp contrast to the lower-class life in which he lived.

Finally, when he was 40 years old, there was a severe drought in Yongzhou. Ten houses were empty, and people were eating each other.

He joined the Huangtian Sect and developed a large number of followers with his profound knowledge and eloquence.

Zhang Xinhui seemed to recall the quarrel with the academy teacher after that.

"Zhang Xinhui, how can you join the Emperor's Heavenly Dao? And still follow them to spread their teachings? Do you know that if you do this, you will become a cult monster and you will never be able to pass the imperial examination in your life."

"Teacher, I have been taking the exam for almost 30 years. How many 30 years are there in life?"

"Then you can't collude with the cult. Your book has been read into the dog's belly?"

"It's not that I haven't studied hard. I also want to become a successful person one day and be able to govern the country and bring peace to the people."

"But will those noble gentry, those famous warriors give us a chance? Do they read as many books as me?"

"As long as they spend a little money, they can take away all our places in the exam."

"They spend the lowest money to collect grain from the people, and then join forces to raise the price of grain, taking advantage of natural and man-made disasters to occupy all the people's fields."

"Go and ask the people outside the city what the refugees want. They just want to have a full meal. They just want a piece of land to feed themselves."

"But they have worked hard all their lives, they have cultivated fields all their lives, and in the end they can't even feed their children. Is this reasonable?"

"Why is this happening? Because these gentry are right-wing and these warriors are playing tricks on them. They only need to spend a little bit of money to make the poor people work like cows and horses for the rest of their lives."

"Teacher, is it useful to study for the imperial examination?"

"The imperial court cannot control them, but Huangtian Dao can."

"The fate of the Han Dynasty has declined, and there is no place for me to use it, but the Emperor of Heaven has..."

"Only the Emperor and God can allow me to display this talent...

In the haze, the speaking figure turned his head and seemed to be looking at Zhang Xinhui at this moment.

The past and the present seem to have converged when the two sides' eyes collided.

Zhang Xinhui felt that at this moment, he seemed to have some kind of intersection with his past self.

But when he wanted to take another serious look, yellow clouds rolled in, a hazy murmur came again, and the picture changed again.

The airflow twists and surges.

Zhang Xinhui seemed to be completely immersed in this change, and he was even more fascinated by those images that were upside down, distorted, but perfectly integrated.

What appeared in front of him at this moment was a white-haired man wearing a blue uniform, just like Zhang Xinhui in old age in the future.

This picture of Xinhui looks very old, and his eyes are full of despair for life.

He looked at Zhang Xinhui at this moment and shouted: "Stop...Chu Qiguang!"

"Otherwise the whole world... will be bought by him..."

"The atmosphere, the ocean, the sunshine, the land... everything... everything will belong to him..."

"Whether it's a human... or a demon... I'll owe him from the moment I'm born..."

"Work... it takes a lifetime of work to repay him... there will be no peace even after death..."

"Stop him! We must stop him!"

The yellow clouds and mist surged and swirled again. Although the scene in front of him had disappeared, it left a deep impression on Zhang Xinhui.

Even if it was just a vague phantom, he could feel the despair in the other person's tone.

'Is this me in the future? Or is it a prophecy from the God of Heaven?'

'But whatever it is...it is an oracle without a doubt.'

At this moment, Zhang Xinhui was shocked physically and mentally. He had never encountered such a clear and clear oracle in the past.

At the same time, streams of yellow clouds came out of his mouth and turned into strands of air currents surrounding his body.

A breath that transcends all mortal things came from the yellow cloud.

A kind of enlightenment came to Zhang Xinhui's heart.

'This extraordinary thing is a gift from the Imperial World.'

As Huang Yun gradually covered Zhang Xinhui's body, his expression became more and more crazy, and his tone was full of fanaticism.

He shook his hands and looked in the direction outside the Gang Qi layer.

"The imperial heaven that transcends the four directions above and below, past and present."

"The Supreme Being who has existed in the past, exists now, and will exist in the future."

"Your servant swears to you here that I will definitely complete the mission you gave me."



Yong'an 18 years, early December.

Shuzhou, a demon village in the Lan River Valley.

The Demon Village at this time is completely different from what it was a few months ago.

With the use of cement, farmers, and laborers, large tracts of houses have been built covering more than half of the entire valley.

Air and blood vessels connect to every corner of the valley.

The cement road was paved to the outside of the valley, constantly picking up and transporting caravans from outside, transporting large amounts of food, medicinal materials and even various minerals into the blood pool.

New farmers and laborers are constantly being produced in the large blood pool, further increasing the efficiency of the entire demon village.

A large number of workers also passed through the gate of the Buddha Realm, crossed the Buddha Realm under the command of Zhou Yujiao, and came to various places in Shuzhou to perform different tasks.

At the same time, there are workers constantly patrolling the streets of Yao Village, inside and outside the workshops, and near the fields.

These flesh and blood puppets, which have been improved by the workshop and have six energy and blood cores as power sources, can reach the level of third-level warriors just by exerting force.

Some of them were even blessed by Chu Qiguang's 'blood-devouring technique'.

Just like a farmer can activate the Qi and blood mutual devouring mode with the blessing of the 'blood devouring technique', raising his output to the level of a second level warrior.

After entering the Qi-blood mutual depletion mode, the laborer has a strength close to that of a fourth-level warrior.

These hundreds of workers, who are not afraid of life and death and obey orders and prohibitions, are the best guards, enough to suppress the combat power below the Dao level.

In the center of the monster village, the school built with cement and stone bricks is five stories high, and the sound of monsters reading aloud can be heard from inside.

Following the Demon Suppression Division operation assigned by Chu Qiguang, a large number of monsters in Shuzhou were continuously swept away, and the only gap left was in the direction of Bafu.

So a large number of monsters were 'driven' all the way, and came here under the guidance of some monsters.

According to the report from Bafu's Hundred Household Office, they have been killed in the battle, but in Yao Village, they have become new villagers and are receiving education from Yao Village.

In the sky, two Chongming birds descended from the sky, and another group of demon talents from the northern Yaoyin Village were sent over. They may join the construction of the blood pool here, or they may enter the school to educate monsters, or they may go to various places in Shuzhou to conduct intelligence work.

With the continuous transportation of the two Chongming Birds, two batches of nearly a thousand monsters have arrived in Yaoyin Village, injecting a prosperous and vibrant atmosphere into the valley.



Shuzhou is located not far outside Tianqufu City.

Many people were looking at the road under their feet in admiration.

Ning Kun was leading a caravan to deliver goods to the Bashu Chamber of Commerce. When he passed by this place, he looked at the smooth, clean, wide and solid road under his feet, and a look of surprise appeared on his face.

‘What kind of material is this gray material made of? It’s so strong?’

Ning Kun feels that if the caravan can continue to follow this path, it will not be a problem to increase the efficiency by two or three times.

I just heard the passers-by around me say: "Have you heard? This road was built in a month, using cement sold by the Bashu Chamber of Commerce."

"I heard before that the government sealed this place and started construction every night."

"What do you know? This is the road built by the protector god summoned by Master Chu, the demon-suppressing envoy, using his Taoist magic."

"This is built by heavenly soldiers and heavenly generals!"

Listening to the common people's discussions, Ning Kun thought to himself: 'Is it the Chu Zhen Envoy's method?'

Knowing that it was this person's handiwork, Ning Kun felt at ease.

After all, this Taoist martial god from the Demon-Suppressing Division turned his hand into clouds and rain in Shuzhou, turning all the prefectures and counties upside down, and building roads was nothing.

Nowadays, except for the indigenous people and the Celestial Masters, the gentry and wealthy families in most prefectures and counties have completed the land tax reform.

In the past few months, the Bashu Chamber of Commerce has not only extended its shops to various prefectures, but also connected the commercial network of all Shu states.

Large tracts of farmland have also begun to be cultivated under their organization. I heard that many ordinary people have joined the Chamber of Commerce and become tenants of the Chamber of Commerce.

The cement road under Ning Kun's feet was also built by Chu Qiguang using laborers.

Similar cement roads are being built across Shuzhou, and in a few years they will be able to connect all prefectures and counties across the state.

With the construction of cement roads, cement from the Chamber of Commerce has also become popular.

Even the situation that was originally turbulent because of Bai Shihe's death seems to have gradually stabilized because of Chu Qiguang's presence, as well as the calm in the Demon Kingdom and the Jie Sect.

But under the prosperity of Shuzhou, countless well-informed people feel that this is like the calm before a storm.

An unprecedented storm seems to be coming.

Not long after Ning Kun hit the road, he saw a row of strange houses in the distance, and there were long queues in front of the houses.

"What is this doing?"

Another caravan guy on the side said: "This is toll collection."

However, what reassures Ning Kun is that although tolls are required, the private checkpoints originally set up by various prefectures, counties, gentry, and local tycoons are gone. This trip is much less expensive than before.



On Xuanji Mountain.

Originally, Qianhu Song Baoshi and Deputy Qianhu Han Jueyong of Shuzhou Zhenmo Division had been sent by Chu Qiguang to station here.

Although it was nominally to guard against the demon kingdom, both of them knew that this was just an excuse for Chu Qiguang to kick them out of the power center of Shuzhou Demon Suppression Division.

Song Baoshi looked at the endless snow-capped mountains in front of him and sighed in his heart: "I'm afraid the current Shuzhou Demon-Suppressing Division is all Chu Qiguang's people, right?"

Han Jueyong said from the side: "In the demon country, the Jie Sect is so peaceful and defensive, so they must have something up their sleeves. I'm afraid a storm is coming next."

Thinking of this, neither of them started to worry about the future of Shuzhou and the Hunter School.



The Chaoyao Mountains in the south of Lingzhou are criss-crossed, undulating and overlapping, extending for hundreds of miles southward, dividing Lingzhou and Luozhou in the south into two.

At this moment, on one side of Luozhou, the hinterland of the Central Plains, Chu Qiguang had reached the depths of the mountains.

'This is what Yu Li was talking about.'

Chu Qiguang recalled the information Yu Li told him in his mind.

"The first and only ascended person in the world is the leader of the Wuwei Sect during the Guangshou period of the Chen Dynasty more than 2,500 years ago."

"After that, the Gang Qi layer became more and more perfect, and no one could ascend anymore."

Chu Qiguang's mind instantly recalled what he had read in ancient books such as "The Decryption of Wuwei Sect", and he asked: "Is the leader of Wuwei Sect the Nine Heavens Old Immortal whom Wuwei Sect later worshiped?"

Yu Li shrugged: "I'm not sure if they are the same person."

Chu Qiguang then recalled the information he had obtained in Jiling and many ancient books and Qingyang County annals, and asked: "During the Guangshou period of Chen Chao two thousand years ago, were the Wuwei Sect and the Tianjian Sect at that time...

Jiling is fighting for a copy of the scriptures? Is the ascension of this leader related to this matter? "

Yu Li exclaimed: "Do you still know about this?"

Of course Chu Qiguang remembered that he first got clues to the secrets of the Zifu from the Jiling ruins, and later learned many of its secrets after tracing them all the way.

In his original speculation, the ruins in Jiling were built long before the Chen Dynasty, and were later dug up by villagers during the Guangshou period of the Chen Dynasty and the scriptures inside were handed over.

This then triggered a fight between the Tianjian Sect and the Wuwei Sect.

Later, in this dynasty, this ruins was controlled by Kongang Temple and became the place where the Sutra of Mount Sumeru King was hidden.

Just listen to Yu Li say: "Hey, it was indeed Wuwei Sect and Tianjian Sect who were robbing us at the beginning, but they were not the only ones robbing us?"

"Wuwei Sect, Tianjian Sect, Tianyao Sect and the imperial court at that time were all trying to snatch this scripture."

Chu Qiguang asked in confusion: "Tianyao Sect?" He realized that he had never heard of the name of this sect.

Yu Li explained: "The Tianyao Sect is a major sect of demons that emerged in the Wei Dynasty. I heard that the demons of the founding sect took advantage of the duel between the heads of the Fanjing Sect and the Tianjian Sect to steal a copy of the Sutra King.

, which was established from this.”

"But now the Demon Clan has been extinct for a long time, and there are no records of the history of the Demon Clan. It's normal that you don't know."

Hearing this piece of history, Chu Qiguang's heart moved again. He remembered that with the help of Lin Lan, he had found historical materials related to the "Star Scripture" in the big library. At that time, he also combined with the big data from the Eagle Demon

Zhu Legend is restored.

He thought to himself: 'I remember what I summed up last time was... Four thousand years ago, during the Wei Dynasty, the head of the Fanjing Sect came west with the Star Sutra, hoping to find the whereabouts of the other three Sutra Kings.

'Later, this person and the leader of the Tianjian Sect fought several battles, trying to decide who owned the "Star Scripture" and "Moon Map" that they each had.'

'In the end, there were several battles in which there was no winner, and the two of them read two scriptures together while cherishing each other.'

'It's a pity that the leader of the Fanjing Sect made too much noise, and the Tianjian Sect has always been famous for assassinations.'

'The emperor of Wei Dynasty at that time was jealous of these two great masters and sent a large army to surround and kill them.'

'Originally I didn't know what the outcome would be. From what Yu Li said, it seems that a monster attacked them in the end, took away a Sutra King, and created a Heavenly Demon Sect.'

'The next step is the Chen Dynasty period that Yu Li mentioned, when the Tianjian Sect, Tianyao Sect, and Wuwei Sect robbed scriptures.'

A glimmer of understanding flashed in Chu Qiguang's eyes: 'We are connected.'

Yu Li on the other side continued: "The name of this scripture snatched during the Guangshou period is the Book of Heaven."

"In addition to the Book of Heaven, there are three other scriptures with the same name in the world, namely the Book of Earth, the Book of Stars and the Picture of the Moon."

"At that time, these three books were in the hands of the Chen Dynasty royal family, Tianjian Sect and Tianyao Sect respectively."

"After the "Book of Heaven" came out, the four great sutra kings gathered together and experienced a fierce competition."

"But in fact, the royal family of the Chen Dynasty at that time had long been secretly controlled by the Wuwei Sect."

"The leaders of the Wuwei Sect of that generation were brilliant and brilliant. I am afraid that in terms of wisdom and talent, they are no less than those of the Buddha and the Holy Emperor."

"The news that he deliberately released the "Book of Heaven" attracted various forces to snatch it."

"In the end, he took chestnuts from the fire and won the four great sutra kings."

"After the four meridians merged into one, he realized the vacuum, and his soul left his body and soared through the air."

"Before he ascended, he redistributed the four great sutra kings to different locations in the world, saying that they were reserved for fate."

"Since then, generations of followers of the Wuwei Sect have targeted this leader, thinking of ascending through the sky and attaining the path of immortality."

"What I want to tell you this time is the tomb of a Taoist immortal from the Wuwei Sect."

Chu Qiguang listened quietly to Yu Li's story and asked: "Since the Wuwei Sect is pursuing soaring through the sky, why are there tombs? Can't they just fly to the sky and die there?"

Yu Li smiled: "Ever since that person broke through the sky and ascended, the entire world has been shrouded in a layer of Gang Qi, and no one in the Wuwei Sect can ascend."

"Those who still try to imagine their souls leaving their bodies and ascending will only gradually become ghosts as their bodies decay."

"This tomb I told you contains such an old ghost."

Chu Qiguang's focus was not here, but he said in surprise: "The Gang Qi layer existed after the Chen Dynasty? Isn't it the Gang Qi layer established by Daxia?"

Yu Li said: "Daxia can't be called creating the Gang Qi layer. They can only say that they are connecting the Gang Qi layer with the destiny of the human race."

Chu Qiguang asked: "Where is that tomb?"

Yu Li told the location, and finally reminded: "We dug a robbery hole there. If you go in, follow the instructions I told you to crack the mechanism, you can find the coffin..."



At this moment, deep in the southern part of Chaoyao Mountain.

Loud noises continued to be heard, and dozens of golden light-shining Dharma Protector Generals were seen digging into the rocks, turning the entire mountainous area into a construction site.

At the same time, soldiers and horses from the Demon Suppression Division came all the way to support them in the distance and were in the process of sealing the mountain.

A large number of warriors and craftsmen are exploring the location and status of the underground tombs.

Some scholars who have studied the Chen Dynasty, Wuweijiao, and tombs were all summoned to study the plan for Chu Qiguang.

Chu Qiguang had no interest in the 'tomb robbing' plan mentioned by Yu Li.

As a general of the Demon Suppression Division and a minister of the imperial court, he naturally carried out archaeological activities, and it was impossible to rob tombs.
