Chapter 13 The Past of the Three Religions, the Flower of the Other Shore
Wu Jie's cultivation of the art of combining law and martial arts has almost reached its limit. He has mastered everything he should know and has mastered everything he needs to practice. The next step is the accumulation of years - how to use it skillfully in actual combat.
?How to judge the situation and decide whether to swing the life-and-death sword? Or even how to further reach the state of freedom... These cannot be practiced in a short period of time, and can only be accumulated slowly and comprehended slowly.
It has been almost three hundred years since Uncle Changsun created this secret art, but until now, he feels that he has not yet been able to perfect this secret skill, and he has not yet been able to hold his head high and declare, "I have created a secret skill."
The level of "unparalleled knowledge".
The reason is that the accumulation is too little.
With his ability, those ordinary-level opponents can't play a sharpening role at all, and there are not many enemies in the entire Kyushu realm who can let him use this unique skill and gain some insights in the battle.
"I will also go when the three teachings are performing." When Wu Jie said goodbye to him, Master Changsun said, "If you move faster and kill all the demon disciples who have entered the Taoist realm, you may still have time to observe.
The fight is on my side."
"What exactly is the Three Teachings Act? What are the rules?"
"The so-called Three Religions Act is actually about us fighting against the evil sect for control of the nine states in the world. The Xuanmen is responsible for being the referee and mediating by the way - or to put it another way, if anyone doesn't abide by the rules, the Xuanmen will help
The other side.”
"Are they still helping the devil?"
"...It's not that I haven't helped. Don't think that just because the people in Xuanmen seem to be indifferent, they are good people. They follow the path of no good, no evil, and no mercy. For them, doing good is also
It doesn’t matter whether he likes to do evil or not, it just depends on whether it conforms to the ‘reason’...but I don’t understand their reasons anyway.”
Wu Jie was stunned. He didn't expect that this Xuanmen man would pursue such a weird idea.
"When everyone fights, the methods often change. But one principle remains unchanged: entering the Dao versus entering the Dao, refining the Gang versus refining the Gang, condensing Yuan versus Condensing Yuan - battles in the Huandan realm rarely happen, after all
It's too terrifying for the monk Huan Dan to use his hands. If the two sides get into a real fight, it's likely to destroy the small world that serves as the arena."
"Small world?"
"Well, there are too many methods that we monks can use that can easily lead to serious consequences. In order to prevent endless poison from turning the world into a ghost realm, so after several discussions, we finally decided to fight in some independent small worlds... That's about it
It happened more than five thousand years ago..." Master Changsun's uncle looked a little sad, and his face lost the usual vigor. He was just an old man recalling the past.
"At that time, I was... Later, I met people from our sect, and I learned about the origins of our sect. At that time, there was a war in the East China Sea, so I rushed to join the war... I remember that at that time, Qingyang, Chixia, and Baidi faction joined forces
, summoned a coalition of righteous monks, and fought a fierce battle with the Sixteenth Demon Sect outside the East China Sea. After the battle, although the righteous monks suffered heavy casualties, the Chixia Sect became history; the Demon Sect was even more defeated, and the Sixteenth Demon Sect was defeated.
The sect turned into ten sects, especially the most powerful Dragon Demon Sect was completely wiped out, and the world was shocked!"
"Dragon Demon Sect?"
"Well, the Dragon Clan also has factions. The Nanhai Dragon Clan belongs to the Xuanmen Faction, the Yunmeng Dragon Clan belongs to the Righteous Faction, and the East China Sea Dragon Clan belongs to the Demonic Faction. At that time, they were known as the Dragon Demon Sect and were the leader of the Demonic Clan."
"In the end, it was all over in one battle?"
"Yeah, it's gone! The entire Dragon Palace was burned down by Huo Lingzi, the Dragon Demon Sect was burned to death by him, and even the fish and shrimp in the entire East China Sea were almost extinct. Over the past five thousand years, I can't stand it again.
I haven’t heard anything about them.”
Wu Jie was stunned and couldn't help but ask: "Uncle Master, how old are you this year?"
"What you want to ask is my seniority, right?" Master Changsun's uncle naturally understood what he meant and said with a smile, "For some reason, I have never been included in the sect's historical records, so my seniority is not calculated according to the time I entered.
But the two generations who are the same generation as the head - the Patriarch and the Supreme Patriarch never show up. Even if they appear once in a while, everyone just pretends not to see each other."
Wu Jie couldn't help but laugh, but secretly admired the longevity of the demon clan.
The Patriarch Clam has lived for tens of thousands of years, and the Grand Patriarch is over five thousand years old, but they all seem to be in high spirits. When they were fighting for the inheritance of the Buyi God, Su Lin, the tree demon, once said that even if Xiao Buyi
Even if you fly to the sky, you may not be able to live longer than him. This statement is true!
Jasmine has long said that unless one has cultivated a great path and the Yang God is immortal, no matter how high one's magic power is and how powerful one's magical power is, lifespan is limited. For human monks, it can be as little as five or six thousand years, and no matter how much more it is, it will not exceed ten thousand years.
Ten thousand years is indeed long enough for human monks who only have a lifespan of a thousand years, but for Master Ha, it has not yet reached a lifetime! Judging from the appearance of Master Changsun, he can probably live for ten thousand years...
"You don't have to envy the longevity of our demon clan. It should be noted that it is extremely difficult for our demon clan to ascend. Since ancient times, it is almost unheard of that any senior demon clan has successfully ascended." Uncle Changsun said lightly, "We monks pursue
What is important is to keep moving forward and constantly surpassing. Being bound to the human world cannot move forward, and can only grow old slowly with the years... Alas! Living too long is not a good thing!"
Wu Jie also sighed, stopped mentioning this topic that made both of them depressed, and asked about the acting methods of the Three Religions.
"That battle was so brutal. We, the righteous ones, were saddened by the loss of lives, while the demonic ones were saddened by the heavy losses. Xuanmen also felt that we could not survive alone if we continued like this. Although everyone had different starting points, their views on 'controlling the scale of the war' were the same.
unanimously, so in the end the three religions agreed to hold a small-scale competition every short period of time to settle various disputes over the years and divide the spheres of influence of the three religions in Kyushu - this is the three religions performance method.
"
"Over the years, the specific process of performing the three teachings has often changed. Sometimes it is a ring, sometimes it is a melee, and sometimes it is an adventure competition... But no matter how it changes, entering the Dao versus entering the Dao, refining the Gang versus refining the Gang, condensing the essence
For Ning Yuan, this principle will not change."
Wu Jie saw that Grandmaster Sun's uncle was gradually losing interest. He probably thought that he could not ascend as a monster and was depressed. So he said goodbye to him wisely and set off to find the Flower of the Other Shore.
"Flowers of the Other Shore... used to be very common, especially in the Valley of Ghosts. They bloom all over the mountains and plains. But over the years, they have become less and less for some unknown reason. Now they are almost extinct along the River Styx. If you want to find them, you can only go deep into the netherworld.
Inland, you should be able to find it by some rivers."
"Thank you, great uncle, for your guidance! Disciple, take your leave!"
"Be more careful on the road. If something goes wrong, return to the human world immediately. Don't take risks." When Wu Jie said goodbye, Uncle Changsun, who always emphasized the way of killing, gave a message that did not smell like killing, "Excellent people like you are
A disciple should be shining brightly and be famous all over the world, but he should not die silently in this netherworld!"
Following his uncle's instructions, Wu Jie left the Valley of Shadows and headed for the hinterland of the underworld far away from the River Styx.
The Nether World is very vast, perhaps even larger than the human world. But in this vast world, the only place that has been basically explored by the monks is along the River Styx.
This is of course because there are no signposts after leaving the River Styx, but more importantly, the deeper you go into the hinterland of the underworld, the more dangers there are.
Those demons and ghosts, those lingering resentful souls, those monks who continue to practice as ghosts... They dare not live by the River Styx for a long time, because the elusive Nether Dragon has always used them as its main target.
Targets are swallowed one by one, without exception.
Whether they are demons, ghosts or ghost cultivators, they are all intelligent enough to know how to seek good luck and avoid evil - or in other words, those who do not understand this have been killed by the Hades Dragon. Therefore, the closer you get to the River Styx, the more dangerous things like this are.
The fewer there are; and God knows how many terrifying things are hidden in the hinterland of the Netherworld, which is far away from the River Styx!
Although it is said that the Nether Dragon will sweep through the Netherworld every once in a while, this is just a legend, and even the great uncle Changsun who has lived in the Netherworld for thousands of years has never seen it with his own eyes.
The Netherworld has existed for an incalculable amount of time. According to Du Xin's memory, it has existed at least since the time of the Holy Emperor Li Xin. Over the years, although the souls of the old ghosts have gradually aged and dissipated, but
There is an endless stream of new ghosts, and there must be dangers everywhere in the interior of the underworld!
Therefore, Wu Jie was fully prepared. If the situation went bad, he would immediately hide in the World of Heavenly Book. After a while, when the warning signs in his heart disappeared, he would go out again. With this method, he could actually stay safely in the Netherworld.
After traveling inland for several days, we collected some Hibiscus flowers.
The small light blue flowers that exude a cold light are scattered very scattered. Sometimes you can find a few flowers among the rocks, and sometimes you can pick some in the wilderness, but the "riverside" mentioned by Master Changsun's uncle
But it has never been found, and the harvest has always been very limited.
Wu Jie didn't know how many Bianhua flowers Master Ruiling needed to make the elixir, but the twenty or thirty flowers he had on hand were definitely not enough - the medicinal parts of Bianhua flowers are its petals and stamens, and they need to be dried in a low-temperature environment.
It can only be used after that. After processing twenty or thirty flowers, it is estimated that it will only be a small handful. No matter how you look at it, you will not be able to make a few pills.
So even though he was a little worried, he continued to move forward in the netherworld, carefully guarding against any possible dangers while carefully searching for traces of Bianhua.
Seeing his inefficient search method, Du Ruo finally couldn't help it and volunteered to help.
Compared to Wu Jie, who is still a human being after all, Du Ruo, as a ghost, is at home in the nether world. She is not an ordinary ghost, but one who has practiced for many years and has magical powers. In this nether world, she can rely on her own pressure
Conquer those ordinary souls and drive them to search in all directions.
This approach not only expands the scope of the search, but also reduces the risk of being discovered by powerful ghosts. Compared with Wu Jie's slow search alone, the difference is like replacing a rogue horse that travels a hundred miles a day with a divine horse that travels a thousand miles a day.
The efficiency has been improved by an unknown number of times!
In just three days, she found five or six times what Wu Jie had achieved before.
Looking at the Bianhua flowers spread on the ground at the door of the Yin Mansion in the World of Heavenly Books, Wu Jie was embarrassed but couldn't help but smile.
If this continues, it probably won't take long before we can complete the mission and return to the human world...
