Chapter 284: The old events of the former Yuan Dynasty, the Ming court sealed the sky
In the Huodexingjun Temple, Lord Huo and Prince Liejie recovered their breath and headed to the place where the Taiyin Tribulation Fire occurred. Although it was during the Southern Dynasties when the fire fell, and the capitals of Song, Qi, Liang and Chen were all in Yingtian, however,
This is different from the position given by the old immortals of Jinglun Temple.
To be more specific, it was actually at the end of the Liu Song Dynasty that traces of Jie Huo appeared, but they were not confirmed by anyone. When they really manifested later, it was the period of the alternation between the Qi Dynasty and the Liang Dynasty.
The key point lies in Emperor Wu of Liang.
There are many towers in the mist and rain in the 480 temples in the Southern Dynasties. The Taiyin Tribulation Fire is inextricably related to Buddhism, but even Buddhism cannot control this real Taiyin Fire. This flame originates from the so-called "formation, residence and bad emptiness".
It is the "bad calamity" among the calamities. When this calamity occurs, great disasters will occur in the world, and wars and chaos will occur, causing the death of all people below the Arhats.
The old immortals of Jinglun Temple told Master Huo that the Four Hundred and Eighty Temple was an act of suppression by Emperor Liang Wu after the original Buddhist Tianxin discovered the Taiyin Tribulation Fire. Of course, Emperor Liang Wu himself was an old Buddhist, and the Great Buddha asked him to practice it.
Temple, of course he is extremely happy with this kind of thing.
Repair, repair big!
"Emperor Wu of Liang served as the governor of Yongzhou... To the west of Yongzhou, black water flows across Kunlun. The Taiyin Tribulation Fire originated from Yongzhou. According to the immortals of Jinglun Temple, this fire entered the hands of Emperor Wu of Liang and later helped him.
Destroyed the Southern Qi Dynasty, and integrated the classics of the three religions into one source..."
"I have heard of it." Prince Liejie shook his head at this: "He said that people like Lao Confucius are just disciples of Sakyamuni, and the nature of gods also comes from Buddhism. This is really ridiculous."
Emperor Wu of the Liang Dynasty had many names: a master of rehabilitation, a contractor of scumbag projects, and a Buddhist devil.
Of course, it is also because of these many things that he himself has a strong mythological flavor.
The two were about to leave the Huodexingjun temple. Huodexingjun looked at the divine throne of Huodexingjun, and his body swayed, transformed into the shape of Lingxiao Girl, and fell into the statue of Huodexingjun.
"Now that I have no one to rely on, whenever I do something, I usually have to pretend to be a righteous god."
"I was once canonized by the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, but it was later revoked, but with the help of Prince Lu. Until Emperor Wanli discovered that Prince Lu's rebellion failed, the canonization of this vassal king was still useful."
"Taking part of the national prestige from the statue of the Righteous God and devouring the incense of the Righteous God, the goddess of Lingxiao has special power. As long as they are both the God of Fire, they can occupy the magpie's nest and go to sacrifice him to him.
Replace it."
Lord Huo ate all the power in the statue, and distributed part of it to Prince Liejie, and then carved his own image into the statue of Lord Huodexing, so that he could sacrifice this statue in the future.
, the incense and all the wishes obtained will be sacrificed to Ling Xiao Nu.
If the goddess of Lingxiao is the goddess of heaven, then she can appear out of thin air. Even if she is thousands of miles away, she can collect incense and wishes from temples in various places. Following the voice of the people who offer sacrifices, she can bring them to life.
It is too inefficient to engrave and copy your own image into any statue of Huode Xingjun, instead of having to replace one statue after another like now.
The appearance of the Flame Goddess is distorting the statue of Lord Huodexing.
Lord Fire will prepare everything and it will be completed.
"Who!"
A clear and angry scream came from the void, from the sound of the people's sacrifices and kowtows. It was like a light appearing in the darkness, and thunder rising in the cloudy sky. The breath of Lord Fire was shaken by this sound.
In confusion, the goddess's form, which was about to be completed, suddenly stopped!
An extremely powerful anger erupted from the statue of Lord Huodexing, and there was a fierce energy in the void that penetrated the universe. Lord Huo was hit by a blow, and his whole body was bombarded. He fell from the statue of Lord Huodexing.
He flew out and smashed the door of Huode Xingjun's temple!
The Huodexingjun Temple near Yingtian Mansion was full of incense. Suddenly someone flew out of the temple, which immediately frightened many worshipers!
The blinding method was defeated and lost its effect. Prince Liejie was shocked, and the people ran in all directions because of the accident! The statue of Lord Huo Dexing jumped down from the altar, and Lord Huo was horrified:
"Ji Xiang! You're here!"
"Who?! Ji Xiang?"
A woman's voice came out of Huode Xingjun's mouth. He was stunned for a second, and then he seemed to understand something and sneered:
"It turns out that the thief that the emperor told me to be careful about is you!"
"Universal Illumination Bodhisattva!"
Lord Huo's eyes were full of fear, and the statue moved to hit people. This was definitely caused by Ji Xiang's magical power!
Huode Xingjun's image changed, and a cyan fire spear appeared in Yue Yinping's hand, and he threw it forward!
Ling Xiaonu's Fire Crow spell appeared in Lord Huo's hand, and Prince Liejie also had a long halberd, but the two people's divine power was shattered the moment they touched Lord Huodexing's divine power, and they sensed the divine position.
So tyrannical, Lord Huo was shocked.
"This is not a folk god, it is the real power of the gods!"
How could anyone be able to guide the gods above thirteen in the Heavenly Division?
Without hesitation, she activated Fire Escape and ran again. However, Yue Yinping also had Fire Escape. She didn't know what she was thinking about, but her real body in Qiantang County also used Fire Escape!
"Let's see where you run away!"
The two flames died out, and the world became silent again.
.......
The gate of heaven closed, followed by a strong call.
Ji Xiang originally planned to search for the legacy of the White Lotus Sect in the Thirty-Six Guards, but the constant surge of national power in his body forced Ji Xiang to go to the place where he was summoned to take a closer look.
And that place is not that far away.
Yingtian Mansion, South Forbidden City.
Since Emperor Yongle moved the capital to Shuntian, the gate of the Forbidden City has never been opened again. The power of the emperor left by Emperor Hongwu, Emperor Jianwen, and Emperor Yongle still permeates this ancient palace.
The real Forbidden City in the north is an imitation of this Forbidden City.
In the South Forbidden City, countless princes and generals have died. The national prestige here is surging, and it has lost the suppression of the wishes of millions of people. This ancient and ownerless palace has finally removed its heavy shackles.
The guardian deity of the South Forbidden City, Ziwei Yandu Emperor, has opened the permission to Ji Xiang to enter the South Forbidden City.
This surprised Ji Xiang.
"What is this going to do? The God's throne guarding the palace will actually allow an outsider like me to enter. This palace is a place that King Lian Lu, the capital of a vassal, cannot enter."
Inside the deep palace gate, there seemed to be hidden secrets from the Hongwu and Jianwen dynasties. But if there were really secrets, why would they be placed in the Yingtian Mansion in front of everyone and not taken to Shuntian?
The call I felt at this time was mostly related to national prestige.
Ji Xiang deduced that the national prestige he possesses was originally stolen from the Fire God Song Wuji, and was later blessed by the canonization from the Emperor Wanli. The emperor's canonization was not easy to obtain, and Lord Huo just tried his best.
The method was to obtain Lingxiao Nu's special status, and then occupy the temple of Huode Xingjun, thus indirectly gaining the canonization of Emperor Wanli, and only then could he enter forbidden places in the world such as the Forbidden City, where monsters and monsters could not enter.
There are not many gods who can occupy the magpie's nest. The goddess Ling Xiao's position is very special. If others cannot obtain this position, they will not be able to follow suit.
The strong national prestige permeated this ancient palace, and even King Lu did not have the courage to live here. At this time, not even a living person could be seen in this huge South Forbidden City.
There are no eunuchs to sweep, and no palace maids responsible for cleaning and maintenance. There is nothing here, except for the simple and solemn buildings, and...
Buzz——!
When entering the first hall, the Huagai Hall, the surrounding scenery suddenly changed. Only then did Ji Xiang understand the certain authority that the emperor of Ziwei Yandu had previously opened to him, and why the Ming Dynasty's national power was so ready to move, and the source of his summons.
lies in between.
"Prince Lu also spied on this place, but he didn't find anything. It's not that his national power is not strong enough, but that the Emperor of Ziweiyan City did not open this authority to him."
"The throne is not used to protect the palace."
"That's just the appearance."
"Its real function is to hide something in the palace that is within the national prestige."
The scenery around the Huagai Hall changed. The raging fire reflected the shadow of an emperor. The emperor had no face. He was in the sea of fire, like a homeless wandering soul, but it was not a real soul, but just a mere soul.
A phantom imitated by the Dharma Realm.
Yes, the three main halls in the South Forbidden City are connected into one. Although the Jinshen Hall was destroyed by lightning during the reign of Emperor Zhengde, the existence of the main hall is just a symbol, and the loss of a palace is irrelevant.
The three main halls are just the gateway to the "Dharma Realm"!
The sky is vermilion, while the other eight directions appear purple.
"The Forbidden City...Dharma Realm!"
The Dharma Realm that had never been heard of opened its door to Ji Xiang at this time. In this vast flame, it was not only the phantom of Emperor Jianwen who died in the flames, but also the subsequent Ming Dynasty who never lived in Yingtian Mansion.
The emperor and their phantoms all appeared in this hazy purple realm.
Forbidden Zhutian!
The vast wishes for life and the people gathered here, seeming to form pillars holding up the sky, rising up like a forest, lifting the scarlet sky higher and higher.
However, among them, pillars kept falling down, cracking and destroying. At the same time, the national power dispersed and disappeared without a trace. Their existence could no longer be sensed, as if they had been lost from this legal world.
Ji Xiang stopped here and could no longer walk deeper. The phantoms of other emperors that he could see were also extremely far away and even indistinct. Only the black shadow of Emperor Jianwen in the flames in the west could be seen by him.
clear.
The shadow of Emperor Jianwen raised his palm, and all the disintegrated national power rushed towards Ji Xiang, preventing him from disappearing without a trace.
"Not me."
"It's something I have on my body!"
Ji Xiang's eyes moved and he took out the cornucopia.
Sure enough, the huge national power that was escaping from those disintegrating pillars poured into the cornucopia like a sea of smoke!
"The national prestige is losing, which symbolizes the collapse of the Ming Dynasty's national destiny and the decline of destiny. Everything I see is just the appearance of this legal world. It is a reflected fantasy. What I witness is nothing but the reality of this legal world.
The tip of the iceberg, it didn’t even really get me into it.”
Ji Xiang's body burst into bright smoke, but he could only gain national prestige and could not touch Emperor Jianwen, nor could he touch those pillars of wish.
Then he looked at the rising pillars of wishes and looked carefully... Ji Xiang saw that there was an obvious huge gap above the Zhutian.
The pillars of wish seem to be rushing towards the vacant place. They hold up the fragments of the red sky, as if to fill up the missing piece of the highest sky.
"The status and karma of the world...are all supported by one person, and there is no way to escape from the Forbidden City and Zhutian..."
"Position karma is formed by wishes."
"But the sky has not been completely created since its birth..."
A frightening thing happened. The black shadow of Emperor Jianwen made a sound and spoke to Ji Xiang from the illusory reflection. This made Ji Xiang startled and asked in confusion:
"Jianwen?"
The shadow shook his head: "Image is an external expression. Form and spirit can be stolen, and naturally they can also be left behind. If the form and spirit of your past disappear, naturally no one can find it again."
"The sun and the moon also eclipse. Some descendants of Hongwu learned about the existence of the Forbidden City and wanted to fill in this missing piece..."
"Perhaps, this Dharma Realm should not have been born from the beginning... We failed and embarked on the wrong path..."
The black shadow does not seem to be a living person, nor a ghost, nor a god. It mechanically repeats words such as failure, and only responds to some of Ji Xiang's questions. This is more like the immortal wish left by the predecessors.
read.
"I created... a cage."
"The Dharma Realm...accumulates and soars into the sky...but...traps the sun, moon, mountains and rivers."
"And as we expected, the person who can touch the way of heaven... did not appear..."
"The Yuan Dharma is defective. It melts everything outwards and encompasses everything, but it explodes its own divine realm."
"The Ming Dharma has its shortcomings. It has learned the lessons of the Yuan Dharma, melting everything inward, absorbing everything, but it has broken itself into pieces... The spiritual energy between heaven and earth has also suddenly dropped due to this..."
"The dragon veins of the mountains and rivers were cut off, and the final result was this..."
"In the state of heaven, the jade-pure evil...is difficult to fight against...I have never touched the way of heaven, so I can only wrap up the remaining power and seal myself..."
"The cornucopia, with the Hongwu Divine Artifact... the lost national prestige can find its home, and will not flow to other legal realms, helping to increase their power..."
Ji Xiang heard this interestingly and tried to talk:
"It seems that the birth of this Forbidden Dharma Realm has something hidden in the past? Although it seems that I have learned about the problem of the spiritual energy depletion of the mountains and rivers, I am not too interested."
"There's just one thing, I don't know if I can answer it?"
"What does it mean to be a person who touches the way of heaven? Emperor Hongwu?"
The black shadow swayed and swayed in the flames:
"It's not him."
.......
Shuntian Mansion, in the Forbidden City.
The country's prestige was shaken violently, and Doumu Yuanjun's throne shone with brilliance, revealing everything that happened in Yingtian Mansion in the south. At this time, millions of people wanted to return to their throne, but Emperor Wanli in the Forbidden City suddenly felt unwell.
.
I can't tell what's wrong with me, I just feel a tightness in my chest.
Zhang Tianshi suddenly saw a dark shadow flashing past in front of the Meridian Gate. His eyes were like a divine light, and he could see up and down in all directions, but he could no longer find the flashing shadow.
