Chapter 228 Ten years have passed with a flick of a finger
Chapter 228 Ten years later, Zhu Jiayan’s secret
Time flies like an arrow, time flies like a shuttle, a white horse passes through the gap, and a horse passes through the window.
It seemed like just a snap of the fingers, ten years passed, and it was February of Yihai year.
Ever since the Celestial Master Dao was destroyed, the White Lotus Sect retreated, the aristocratic families bowed their heads, and the evil cultivators retreated to the west, the Shenxiao Sect has become almost invincible in the world.
And Jiang Xuan also spent ten years quietly in this situation.
In the past ten years, except for the first year when he married Lian Shanxue, who used Baili Hongzhuang, dragons and phoenixes to carry the sedan chair, and Zhenjun sang and drank, Jiang Xuan spent the rest of the time nestled in Zhushan, sitting
Look at the changes in the Ming Dynasty.
What is change?
Since the year of their marriage, Jiang Xuan has refined two hundred and five hundred thousand soldiers into five-star soldiers.
Then he divided the two hundred and fifty thousand soldiers into officials and assigned them to perform their respective duties.
Among them, there are one hundred thousand Heavenly Soldiers of Doubu, who are under the rule of Yao Tu, Yao Jin and other five generals. They specialize in cultivating, exterminating demons, exterminating demons, exterminating ghosts, and patrolling the affairs of heaven and earth.
One hundred thousand Doubu Heavenly Soldiers all practice "Clone", "Demon Slaying", "Divine Movement" and other earthly evil supernatural powers. They also practice military formations individually. In terms of combat power, they are stronger than ordinary monks.
After setting up the formation, they can defeat the monks in the Sixth Realm.
In addition to the Doubu Heavenly Soldiers who are responsible for fighting, there are also the Danbu Heavenly Soldiers who are responsible for alchemy;
Qi heavenly soldiers who are responsible for refining weapons;
A heavenly soldier who controls the power of the stars;
The formation's heavenly soldiers are responsible for setting up formations and moving earth lines;
The Heavenly Soldiers of the Thunder Department, whose duties are to spread clouds and rain, and to judge the good and evil of monks;
Although the six heavenly soldiers are very different from the legendary heavenly armies in the past and present lives, they are the division of duties that is most suitable for the current situation of the Ming Dynasty.
If he feels that something is missing in the future, or if any part has too much power, Jiang Xuan can make adjustments again.
He is not the emperor of heaven who is controlled by "people" in myths and legends. He can adjust the entire six parts however he wants.
Among the six divisions, in terms of combat power, Dou Division is the strongest.
But if we say the one who made the biggest noise, it was undoubtedly the Heavenly Soldiers of the formation.
There are 80,000 heavenly soldiers in the formation department, all of whom practice the five arts of "Clone", "Chasing Souls", "Capturing Souls", "Array Arrangement" and "Earth Movement".
On weekdays, they control thousands of ghosts to build bridges and roads, move earth veins and water veins, and dig various ores when the earth veins change.
It can be said that they made all the people of China see the methods of the monks, and also inspired countless people to pursue the Tao.
In the first year of marriage, in addition to dividing the heavenly soldiers into six groups and letting the heavenly soldiers in the formations lure unsuspecting ghosts into China to set up formations, there were other changes in the world.
For example, all kinds of things that the Mohist family and the scientists in Qianjin City have researched have left Sixi County and flowed to various parts of China.
It is a four-wheeled vehicle that is powered by fuel and needs to be driven manually, just like in the technological era;
It is a magic weapon flying car that is driven by the earth's energy and can fly ten meters above the ground on various prefectural roads, county roads, town roads, and village roads without a human driver;
Mobile communication equipment made entirely of electronic components and can be manufactured in industrial batches;
It is created by combining various magic techniques such as Xuanguang Technique, Sound Transmission Technique, and Photography Technique to give the monks a special 'mobile phone';
There are also various techniques flowing out of Jiang Xuan's hands; the ever-expanding formations; the extremely neat residential areas created by the formation's heavenly soldiers; the mushroom bombs detonated in the uninhabited desert;
Valley; everyone has an ID card.
The changes, etc., all tell the story that under Jiang Xuan's helm, the world is making great strides towards the world he wants in his heart.
On February 2, the dragon raises its head.
On this day more than ten years ago, Jiang Xuan let the dragon walk down the Qingshui River.
Many so-called proud men came from outside the county just to witness the rare changes in heaven and earth.
On this day more than ten years later, someone also came from the capital.
However, no matter how well the man hid himself, Jiang Xuan still noticed him from the moment he stepped into the formation.
No one else, just because the magic technique used by that person was too magical.
"It's such a joy to have friends come from far away."
"Fellow Taoist, you have come all the way from Baiyujing, why don't you have a drink first?"
After Jiang Xuan finished speaking, Lian Shanxue, who was already a married woman, was stunned for a moment, got up and carried Gungun into the bamboo house.
As for other spiritual beasts?
Except for Dafeng who still stayed on the sycamore tree and looked up at the sky, Fu Dou who breathed flames under the sycamore tree, and the fat fox who lay on Jiang Xuan's shoulder all day long, all the other spiritual beasts had gone down the mountain.
Jin Jiao became the Dragon Lord of Xuanhe as he wished, although he only occupied a small section of Xuanhe.
Haechi and roosters like to go in and out of the prison to distinguish right from wrong and make decisions impartially.
Little Black Bear Zhu put on a Taoist robe, opened a Taoist temple, and chanted the Tao Te Ching in front of people all day long.
The little timid deer with nine colors became Zhalu, spending three days playing with Fengdu in Jiuyuan, three days playing with Cangwu Mountain God in Luyuantian, and the remaining day he would rest at the top of Zhushan Mountain.
All in all, the delicious and lazy iron-eating beast Gungun has become Lian Shanxue's favorite.
Don't mention anything else.
When Lian Shanxue entered the bamboo house, a figure appeared in front of Jiang Xuan, who was slightly stiff in movement and wearing a red dragon robe.
Of course, this stiffness is only for Jiang Xuan.
In the eyes of ordinary monks, he is no different from a normal person.
Seeing the way the visitor appeared, Jiang Xuan narrowed his eyes without leaving any trace.
"Standing at attention without a shadow?"
As soon as the thought came into his mind, Jiang Xuan saw the person waving his hand, and then ten meters high golden trees appeared on the bamboo mountain.
"Zhu Kaizhong of the Zhu family in Yujing has long heard about the name of Daoist Jiang."
"Now that we are meeting for the first time, these ten candle-lit ancient trees are a meeting gift from the Zhu family to Daoist Jiang."
Listening to Zhu Kaizhong's self-proclaimed words and glancing at the candle-lit ancient trees neatly placed aside, Jiang Xuan's thoughts changed in a flash:
"What does the Zhu family mean by this?"
Zhu Kaizhong showed a wry smile when he heard this:
"The Taoist priest should know my purpose of coming."
Jiang Xuan picked up the tea in front of him and took a sip:
"The Taoist Master is extremely resourceful, how could he not know what he is going to do next?"
Having said this, seeing Jiang Xuan still looking like I don't know, Zhu Kaizhong shook his head helplessly, and then said:
"Please also ask the Taoist Master to ask your brother to accept the decree and stop preaching that this world belongs to my Zhu family."
"Even if my brother is interested, he can attack Bai Yujing, and my Zhu family will give up the throne of China."
Although he had already guessed in his mind, Jiang Xuan was still confused for a moment when he heard these words from Zhu Kaizhong.
So he didn't pretend to understand, but asked directly:
"Why is the Zhu family like this?"
"If my guess is correct, the Tianshi Tao hunts the innate earth to only nurture gods and demons, leaving millions of gods to fall into the netherworld. Our Shenxiao sect is preparing to establish the Taoist Kingdom, Buddhism is preparing to establish the Buddhist Kingdom, and the evil cultivators are preparing to transform the human world into human beings.
The ghost world."
"Wait a minute, everyone in the Zhu family should know about the plan, right?"
"I would like to ask, since you, the Zhu family, are the rulers of China, why do you allow ghosts and evil spirits to bring chaos to the world? Why do you ignore the fire and water of all the people?"
After Jiang Xuan finished speaking, Shenzhou Zhu Kaizhong's expression remained unchanged and he just asked, "Taoist Master really wants to know?"
Looking at Zhu Kaizhong with a cautious expression, Jiang Xuan did not hesitate and nodded directly, "I naturally want to know."
There is no doubt that the Zhu family must be hiding a big secret, and this secret may concern the entire world.
Knowing this secret is equivalent to assuming responsibility.
And this responsibility may overwhelm people.
But what Jiang Xuan thinks about is that he is now considered a tall man in China.
Even when standing in the formation, he was considered the tallest.
Therefore, he shouldered this responsibility.
What's more, it's better to know earlier than to be caught off guard in the future, right?
Seeing Jiang Xuan nod without hesitation, Zhu Kaizhong smiled, and then made a magic formula with both hands.
After a moment, a shield emitting a little starlight covered the two of them.
Seeing Jiang Xuan's expression changed, Zhu Kaizhong opened his mouth to explain:
"The third skill of Tiangang: "Shifting Stars and Changing Dou", which can conceal and tamper with the secrets of heaven."
"Heaven's secret is God's will, so this technique is also a great killing technique."
"I am not very savvy, so I have only scratched the surface of the art of "moving stars and changing battles". It can only change the secrets of a small area, but it makes the Taoist priest laugh."
After the words fell and Jiang Xuan didn't answer, Zhu Kaizhong sighed and spoke again:
"The Taoist Master should know that Taoism originated three hundred years ago, and he should also guess that the emperor got the opportunity from Meishan. Then do you know what is in the cave of Meishan?"
Jiang Xuan still didn't speak, but the curiosity was clearly visible in his eyes.
Seeing this, Zhu Kaizhong did not show off, and directly stated the contents:
"There are only two things in the coal mountain."
"One is the demon, and the other is the passage outside the boundary."
After receiving this answer, Jiang Xuan couldn't help but clenched his fist.
There is an out-of-bounds channel, which is within his guess.
Because of the world, he would have an indescribable feeling of disgust towards Thieving Heaven Gu.
There is also an aura that disgusts him in Yujing City, and this aura of disgust is a hundred times a thousand times worse than Thieving Heaven Gu.
So after learning that the Thieving Heaven Gu was a Gu from outside the world, he began to guess that there was something from the outside world in Yujing City, and it was probably a passage to another world.
What Zhu Kaizhong said was just to confirm his guess.
He had even speculated that Emperor Chongzhen was a time-traveler like himself, or that he went to the outside world to learn knowledge about the outside world, and then he would set up a school, teach martial arts, and spread the word to the world after he came back.
What surprised him so much now was actually the demon Zhu Kaizhong mentioned.
Those who are demons are mostly those who bring trouble to a party and cause monstrous killings.
Heavenly demons co-exist with Tao, they are immortal and difficult to kill.
Zhu Kaizhong said that there are demons in the Meishan Cave. Why didn't Jiang Xuan be surprised?
"Since there is a demon, why doesn't the demon break out of the cave and cause trouble in the world?"
As soon as Jiang Xuan's thoughts came up, Zhu Kaizhong on the other side seemed to be aware of Jiang Xuan's thoughts, and immediately said:
"That demon is connected to my Zhu family's destiny."
"The emperor left behind his ancestral teachings and made a contract of law with the devil."
"The demon taught the emperor his Taoism and martial arts skills to help him regain the unification of China."
"But after gaining the unification, the demon can devour the luck of my Zhu family to strengthen itself."
"The emperor agreed, but he was also afraid that the demon would be secretly involved, so he made a contract of law with the demon."
"No matter how powerful the devil is, as long as the people of China do not take action against him, he is not allowed to take action against the people of China.
"Even if someone seeks death, he can only blame the culprit."
"From then on, the stronger the Zhu family's luck, the more stable the dynasty, and the stronger the demon."
Hearing this, Jiang Xuan couldn't help but feel curious:
"In this case, wouldn't the stronger the Ming Dynasty be, the better?"
"With the help of the immortal demons, we can even have a glimpse of the outside world."
Hearing Jiang Xuan's question, Zhu Kaizhong couldn't help but smile bitterly:
"It would be great if the devil is really on our side."
After receiving this answer, Jiang Xuan immediately shrank his pupils:
"The demon is the demon from outside the world?"
"Emperor Chongzhen is still under the scheme of the devil?"
Zhu Kaizhong shook his head:
"The Heavenly Demon is not an outsider, it was even transformed by a human emperor in ancient times."
"We haven't found out the exact details yet, but it's definitely not wrong."
"As for me to say this, it's because since he has become a demon, he cannot be called a human being."
"Before the Human Emperor turned into a demon, he might have had the idea of dedicating himself to the human race in our world."
"But after turning into a demon, you will only think about yourself."
Having said this, Zhu Kaizhong explained the demon in detail:
"The Taoist Master should also know that the demon exists with the Tao and is an immortal existence."
"But Tao is different from Tao, and there is also a difference between Heavenly Demon and Heavenly Demon."
"The demon inside the coal mountain is very strange."
"The devil was born when he landed on the ground and turned the entire cave into his own demonic realm. However, because part of his body merged into the outside world, it can also be seen as two parts."
"Part of the other world, part of the inside."
"Although the two realms are one body, they are also divided into two parts with different strengths."
Hearing this, Jiang Xuan immediately understood:
"Just like ordinary people, the right hand works more, so it will be more powerful than the left hand?"
Zhu Kaizhong nodded, "That's it."
After responding, he spoke again:
"Let the Taoist Master know that the demon's ability is suppression."
"Let all beings with higher strength and realm than him be suppressed into beings weaker than him after entering the Demon Realm."
"This ability cannot be circumvented by any means. This is also the weirdness of the demon."
Hearing the Demon's ability, Jiang Xuan immediately frowned:
"If his ability is this, doesn't it mean that this ability is ineffective for ordinary people?"
"His strength can't be weaker than ordinary people, right?"
"Don't people from outside the world know that they can enter our world through this cave? Don't they send ordinary people to occupy the Meishan Cave first?"
"How did your ancestors survive after entering Meishan?"
"Have you ever explored the land outside the boundary? What does it look like outside the boundary?"
After hearing Jiang Xuan ask a series of questions, Zhu Kaizhong considered his words and said:
"This demon has made a legal agreement with the royal family and will not take action against the people of China, but it does not mean that he will not take action against ordinary creatures and people outside the world."
"As far as we know, this demon can go crazy at any time. When he goes crazy, all flesh and blood creatures will be his target."
"In this case, the people from the other world will only send people to check once every other year, and will not stay in the Demon Realm permanently."
"Of course, that was in the past."
"Ever since they knew that the Meishan Cave Heaven had been opened, the Meishan Cave Heaven has now become a meat grinder, and people are dying all the time."
"As for the outside world, we have sent people to explore it several times, but they often never come back. There is no exception."
After getting this answer, Jiang Xuan was even more confused:
"Can swallowing flesh and blood increase the strength of the demon?"
"If so, why didn't the people from the other world feed him blood food to increase the demon's power?"
"If not, why would the demon devour flesh and blood?"
"Also, since the Heavenly Demon is no longer a human being, then since he can sign a law contract with Emperor Chongzhen, can't he sign a law contract with someone from another world?"
"If it's signed, then why are people from other worlds still being devoured?"
