Qing Dynasty on Maoshan Mountain. Since the last closure of the mountain, the Shang Qing sect has been in a deserted situation. Although Ge Tianshi, the corpse-discipline immortal, has revived from Shang Qing, Ge Tianshi did not choose to stay in Shang Qing.
The mountain owner disappeared, and the Shangqing sect, one of the three mountains, lost a Chunyang-level figure sitting at the mountain gate. The control of the surrounding Taoist temples immediately dropped significantly. The only good news is probably the lunatic from Biyou Palace and the Seventy-two Sects of Lower Maoshan.
They suddenly disappeared.
The seventy-two sects of Lower Maoshan under the control of Biyou Palace were originally the source of the upper Qing Dynasty in the mountains and rivers. They were established by the Zhuhuo Tiangong to compete with the southeastern Dharma sects. Of course, they were also set up to replace the "Upper Maoshan"
In the new inheritance, the Zhuhuo Palace even gave the Qingping Sword to the Master of Biyou Palace, and even connived at the Maoshan monks to kill the Shangqing monks everywhere, even the pilgrims. In the final analysis, this also originated from Lishan River.
Caused by factional fighting within the Shangqing Dynasty.
But all this stopped after the death of the two Shangqing Patriarchs of Zhuhuo Palace.
With such a large mountain gate, there are only a few pilgrims at the gate.
Ji Xiang pushed open the door to Shangqing Mountain and sensed a few familiar scents, but they were much less than before.
Of the thirty-six Shangqing sect leaders, probably half are left now.
"It's you!"
A Tsing Yi sect leader was praying for several pilgrims. When he saw Ji Xiang suddenly appear, his expression suddenly changed! He immediately called other Taoist temple guards and asked them to take over his work, while he greeted Ji Xiang with great vigilance.
Of course, those few pilgrims also saw Ji Xiang who suddenly arrived here, and they all showed curious expressions.
I have never seen a Taoist priest in black.
However, when the Ming Dynasty was founded, a black monk helped him. Could it be that the Taoist priest in front of him was imitating the ancients and wanted to become famous?
Some pilgrims could not help but comment and chuckle.
There are mavericks everywhere, it’s not surprising to laugh them off.
However, the Taoist priest in black, who seemed harmless to humans and animals and could even be commented upon by pilgrims, put great psychological pressure on the sect leader.
"Tao Master came here, why? In the past two years of Shangqing, no Zhuhuo Immortal has descended."
The Qingyi sect leader looked tense and asked Ji Xiang to come to the side to talk.
"The leader of the Arctic Tianxin Sect? I remember that you are the fifteenth in the Shangqing Mountain Sect."
The Tsing Yi Sect Leader was stunned for a moment, then nodded: "I never thought that Taoist Master would still remember me."
"Of course I remember the only person from the Tianxin sect in the Shangqing Mountain Gate." Ji Xiang still had an impression of this fifteenth sect leader. He was among the three great monks who first came out of the mountain gate to stop him, and he was also
The thunder method of the Tianxin Sect is unique among the Shangqing.
"In the past, you sect leaders were supposed to be in the inner mountains, and you couldn't come to the outer mountains to pray for pilgrims, right? The Shangqing sect has not been seen for two years, has it declined to this point?"
Upon hearing this, the Qingyi sect leader suddenly looked gloomy:
"The monks in the Pure Yang Realm were not in charge, Daozi also disappeared, and no immortals from the Zhuhuo Palace descended or taught the Dharma again. The surrounding Taoist temples gradually disrespected the orders of the Shangqing, switched to other places, and were also covered by other forces. The three mountains of the Shangqing
His position is also shaky."
"But our talents are limited. In just two years, it is difficult to advance to the Pure Yang Realm. Several sect masters have tried to break through before, but they were all burned to death by the fire of the sun and passed away as immortals in the green mist."
"There were also some sect leaders who were killed by foreign enemies when they went out to preach..."
Master Tsing Yi's eyes are dull. The thousand-year-old sect, in just two years, is just a blink of an eye in these long years, but this time it has declined severely. If it stays in this state for a few more years, I am afraid that the Shangqing sect will
To fall out of the Three Mountains position.
As for Ji Xiang, when Ji Xiang came in, he had no grudge against the Shangqing faction, and was even willing to represent the court's Daolu Division to solve the problem of Biyou Palace. In the end, the existence of Biyou Palace, as well as the Qingping Sword and Qingping Sword
The deaths of the Shangqing sect members were all deliberately done by the Zhuhuo Palace, and they even wanted to reset the Shangqing sect's inheritance, which made them disheartened by their ancestors.
The Ancestral Talisman of the Shangqing Dynasty is so important. Even before the location of its appearance has been clarified, Zhuhuo Palace is willing to destroy the foundation of the great religion that has been passed down for thousands of years. Or is it because all the ancestors are now in Lishanhe?
Where is the teaching that the supreme being will never be destroyed or change?
Then the existence of people like them is meaningless.
Therefore, sometimes he also thought that no matter whether Ji Xiang came or not, there would be great turmoil in Shangqing.
But now, the decline of Shangqing is inseparable from Ji Xiang.
"Then, there is another piece of good news and one piece of bad news. The good news is that the people from Xia Maoshan have left the Shangqing realm and completely moved to the southeast realm. They no longer besiege me, the Shangqing monks. The bad news is that a large number of people
Become their believers and follow them away. There are not many pilgrims in the surrounding areas under my control..."
"Those dead sect leaders, apart from preaching, also died in disputes with the monks from Xia Maoshan. Now that I have no pure Yang to suppress the formation, even if the innate monks die, they can only swallow their anger!"
Ji Xiang was a little confused:
"There is such a large migration of people, and there is no famine, but they follow the religion and leave. This is the nature of the White Lotus Sect that brings disaster to the masses. Regarding this matter, at least half of the sects of the Seventy-Two Sects in Maoshan have gone to the government.
The wanted list has become a branch of the White Lotus Sect, so...how does the government control this matter?"
The leader of the Qingyi Sect explained that too many troops were deployed in the Korean War. The Zhejiang Navy was responsible for nearby security. Didn't they all be transferred to Korea that time? The Japanese pirate rebellion near the coast has also gradually revived. After all, among the Japanese pirates,
Seven of the ten Japanese pirates were pirates from China, and the remaining two or three were ronin from Japan.
Whether Toyotomi Hideyoshi fought against Korea or not had nothing to do with the rebellion of coastal Japanese pirates. Pirates were not raised by Toyotomi Hideyoshi. If there was a war in Korea, then he would not go to Korea and plunder elsewhere.
Of course, this group of Japanese pirates also came to Japan, but when they were in Osaka, they encountered some kind of "natural disaster" and a large number of people died. It is said that some people saw gods and ghosts fighting, and the red ground was thousands of miles away.
Ji Xiang thought about it, that was when he and Xu Fu were duel, he did not expect to kill a group of pirates who were robbing Japan. This matter spread on the sea, and pirates were not fools. Of course, they chose those who had no gods or ghosts.
If we want to grab space, we will no longer go to Japan’s southern waters.
"Except for these naval forces, the other officers and soldiers..."
When the Qingyi Sect Leader said this, his expression gradually changed, he just shook his head vigorously and sighed:
"The power of the Dharma is so terrifying! Even we don't know where these seventy-two sects of Maoshan and these homeless Dharma disciples got this kind of ability!"
"The officers and soldiers are all pilgrims and believers. Even the county magistrate has thrown away his jade seal. The government office is empty. Where are the security guards?"
At this time, Ji Xiang was also surprised.
This scene seems familiar.
"Two years ago, a similar thing happened in the north. The Eastern Mahayana sect confused the local Taoist priest and the county government, all because of an evil god named Milong. Some spells are difficult to suppress with national power, and they even ignore them completely. That is
Because they have taken advantage of the national prestige, as long as they are canonized as righteous gods first, they will not be judged as evil spirits."
"Then we went down to the southeast from the Seventy-Two Sects of Maoshan... This is going to be bad."
The Shangqing Sect does not know what is happening in the Southeast, but Ji Xiang came here to solve the problems in the Southeast. The news about the Jinyiwei is terrifying. Now the Southeast Dharma has become a country within a country, and it has colluded with Western Christian monks.
Under the combination of China and the West, the southeast coast was impregnable. The people only knew that there were Dharma and teachings about the gods, but they did not know that there was an emperor.
Ji Xiang continued to inquire about the current situation, and then went to the inner mountains with ease.
The number of monks inside the mountain gate was several times less than before, and it was deserted. The several sect leaders they encountered were horrified when they saw Ji Xiang's appearance, and they didn't know what Ji Xiang's purpose was.
When we arrived at the place where the formation was originally set up in Maoshan, we pushed open the door of the Great Yuanbao Hall in Shengyou Peak, entered deep inside, and came to the True Spirit Position and Karma Map.
As soon as the clouds and smoke rose, Ji Xiang jumped forward, and his whole body turned into a piece of paper and melted into the position of the karma.
As the rainbow light gradually dissipated, the Donghua bell rang in Ji Xiang's ears.
Fairy Donghua appeared and looked at Ji Xiang in surprise as she returned to the fairyland in the painting.
"You...you're back?"
At first, Ji Xiang realized some kind of power and suddenly disappeared, leaving her nowhere to look for it. Unexpectedly, in just a short period of time, the other party reappeared, and in...
In Fairy Donghua's eyes, the pores gradually narrowed.
Sun Refining! It has only been a short period of time, how could it be possible that we are already on the path to immortality?
This... have the monks in recent times become so powerful?
And Ji Xiang also smiled:
"Two years no see, Fairy Donghua, I have brought you two pieces of good news."
"Good news?" Donghua Fairy raised her eyebrows slightly. After being stunned for a moment, she finally remembered Ji Xiang's words, and she was a little surprised and surprised: "Could it be that thing from back then... is going to happen here?
Cashed in? That’s really good news, I owe you a big favor.”
"This is one of them."
Ji Xiang unfolded his sleeves: "Second."
"Have you ever thought about becoming a 'National Immortal'?"
