Flowers bloom and fall, and flowers bloom, like a passing time passes by rapidly passing through the birth and death of all things over and over again.
For ordinary people in the mountains and seas, a year is not long or short. Every day is done at sunrise and rest at sunset. Only the birth, old age, sickness and death of relatives can make people sigh that time is fleeting.
For those who practice immortals in the mountains and sea realms, a year is only equivalent to one month in the secular world, because the lifespan of immortals is hundreds or thousands of years, which is far beyond the comparison of ordinary people.
However, in the past hundred years, immortal cultivators have particularly valued the concept of time, because every year, they are one step closer to the arrival of the great catastrophe of heaven and earth, which is once ten thousand years. Cultivators of all sects are taking the time to practice hard behind closed doors or seeking opportunities, hoping that when the great catastrophe of heaven and earth comes, they will not die under the catastrophe of calamity.
Seventeen years passed, and this year marks the founding of the Wu Dynasty of the Holy Tang Dynasty. Under the efforts of the Emperors of the Holy Tang Dynasty, the Holy Tang ushered in an unprecedented prosperity, and both population and territory have developed to the top of the top 15 countries in Zhongzhou.
On the first day of the first lunar month of the third thousand year, the Wu Dynasty of the Holy Tang ushered in a light spring snowfall.
Flawless snowflakes fell from the sky, like silver butterflies dancing, embellishing the streets and alleys of the "Shen'an" capital of the Wuchao of the Holy Tang Dynasty into a beautiful world covered with silver.
Thirty miles away from the west of Shen'an City, there is a majestic and majestic treasure temple. The Buddhist temples in the treasure temple show solemn and undesecrated Buddhist treasure images. This treasure temple is the first Zenyin Temple in Zhongzhou, which was officially enthroned as the "national religion" by the Emperor of the Wu Dynasty of the Holy Tang Dynasty 17 years ago.
Seventeen years ago, Master Xuanhai, one of the four great saints of Chanyin Temple, brought the reincarnated spiritual boy Xuzhen, the eight Buddhist dragons, the reincarnated spirit boy of Mokhuraka from the Northern Region to capture Chen Xuan, the new saint of the Demon Sect. This feat caused a sensation in the entire Shanhai Realm and allowed thousands of sects in various states in the Shanhai Realm to re-recognize the power of Buddhism.
For thousands of years, Buddhist practice has come from the boundless Buddha Kingdom west of the Tianjue Mountains to the east to preach the world. After entering the Wu Dynasty of the Holy Tang Dynasty, it has been very low-key and has no dispute with the world.
Seventeen years ago, it can be said that it was the first time that Buddhism officially took action.
No one has ever asked about the missionary preaching for thousands of years, and he became famous in one fell swoop!
After the Xuanhai Holy Monk brought the Evil Emperor Chen Xuan back to the Chanyin Temple, he presented the Evil Emperor Chen Xuan's sword "Xuanyuan Xiayu Sword" to the Emperor Wu Dynasty of the Holy Tang Dynasty Li Longyuan. Li Longyuan was very happy and enthroned the Fengchanyin Temple as the National Church of the Holy Tang Dynasty on the spot and issued an order to make the Ministry of Works Daxing Buddhist Temple. In just 17 years, hundreds of Buddhist temples were added within the border of the Holy Tang Dynasty Wu Dynasty, which made literati and poets chant poems and sigh: "There are 480 temples in the Holy Tang Dynasty, and so many towers are in the mist and rain."
Compared with the Daxing Buddhist Temple, the most important event that the Holy Tang Wu Dynasty obtained the sword of Xuanyuan, one of the three emperors of the Daxia Dynasty, five thousand years ago, was the most talked about by hundreds of millions of monks in the Shanhai Realm.
Because there has always been a legend in the fifteen countries of Zhongzhou that whoever can get Fuxi's Zhenwu Picture or Xuanyuan's sword can represent the orthodox Daxia Dynasty and use it to govern other martial dynasties.
As the saying goes, "Fuxi's treasure map is a command of the world. If Xuanyuan doesn't come out, who will compete with him?" The martial arts practitioners of the fifteen countries in Zhongzhou did not dream of getting the Fuxi Zhenwu map, or the Xuanyuan Xiayu sword, from then on, transformed into the fourth human emperor to revive the Great Xia Dynasty!
When the martial artists in Zhongzhou heard that Xuanyuan Xiayu's sword was actually in the hands of the new saint of the Demon Sect, they all felt that the evil emperor Chen Xuan was extremely stupid. With Xuanyuan Sword in hand, they could not come to Zhongzhou to govern the fifteen powerful martial artist countries, but went to find the increasingly declining Northern Region Demon Sect. Being the fourth human emperor is much better than being the Demon Sect Saint.
However, the above is just the wishful thinking of the low-level martial arts cultivator in Zhongzhou. As long as the high-level martial arts cultivator with a little knowledge, he will know that no matter who gets the Xuanyuan Xiayu Sword, the countries in Zhongzhou will not obey the orders. Otherwise, after the Holy Tang Wu Dynasty obtained the Xuanyuan Sword, it would have long unified Zhongzhou, recreating the glory of the Great Xia Dynasty five thousand years ago.
The reason why other countries did not obey the orders of the Saint Tang Wu Dynasty and did not recognize that the Saint Tang Wu Dynasty was the orthodox of the Daxia was because they all knew that the sword spirit and sword body of the Xuanyuan Xiayu sword were separated. Only when the two were combined could they be the real Daxia Dynasty's imperial country-controlling divine sword.
In addition to the legend that one can rule the fifteen Kingdoms of Zhongzhou by obtaining the Zhenwu Picture and Xuanyuan Sword, there is another legend that if a martial artist has the purest royal bloodline of the Great Xia Dynasty, then it can also be the common ruler of the fifteen Kingdoms of Zhongzhou.
However, this legend is quite illusory. The Zhenwu Tu and Xuanyuan Sword also have theoretical opportunities. The purest royal bloodline of the Daxia Dynasty had disappeared in the battle five thousand years ago.
After the death of the Three Emperors, other martial emperors and descendants of the royal family were basically killed by the Demon Sect, demon clan and witch cultivators. Now five thousand years have passed, even if there are martial artists with the bloodline of the Great Xia Martial Emperor, it is unknown how many generations have passed, so it can no longer be said to be pure.
After obtaining the Xuanyuan Sword, in order to justify the orthodox banner of Daxia, the Wu Dynasty of the Holy Tang sent people to another fourteen countries to find the Xuanyuan Sword Spirit, but they have gained nothing for seventeen years.
The legend of Xuanyuan Sword Spirit is in the ruins of the Daxia imperial capital, but five thousand years have passed, and no country in the fifteen countries in Zhongzhou has found the trace of the sword spirit, so naturally it was not easy to find it in the Wu Dynasty of the Holy Tang Dynasty for 17 years.
If the sword spirit cannot be found, the Xuanyuan Sword only has one symbolic meaning. However, after obtaining the Xuanyuan Sword, the Holy Tang Wu Dynasty had good weather and prosperous national fortunes for the past 17 years, and surpassed the national strength of several surrounding Wu dynasties in one fell swoop. Therefore, the people of Zhongzhou were discussing that the Holy Tang Wu dynasty must have been protected by the Spirit of the Human Emperor Xuanyuan in the Heaven.
The light snow on the first day of the first lunar month comes and stops quickly. Everyone in the capital Shen'an City is happy to call it "auspicious snow signifies a good harvest". Taking advantage of the snow stop, they come out early to worship the gods.
On the wide official road leading to Chanyin Temple at the west gate of Shen'an, tall horses stepped on shallow horse hoof prints on the road covered with thin snow.
These tall and big horses were all dressed in silk and satin, and looked extremely noble. They were the princes and nobles who rushed to Chanyin Temple to burn incense early in the morning.
At midnight last night, the imperial family of the Wu Dynasty of the Holy Tang Dynasty came down to Chanyin Temple under the leadership of the prince to burn incense. After the royal family burned incense, the high-ranking officials and nobles in the capital came to Chanyin Temple to burn incense in order according to their status.
In addition, a large number of mortals and people also came to Chanyin Temple early to burn incense. Of course, the place where the people burn incense is separated from the princes and nobles.
In order to show respect for Chanyin Temple, the nobles of the King Sun who came to burn incense did not fly alone, but rode on colorful and radiant BMW spirit beasts. The difference in spiritual energy of these BMW spirit beasts is also a way to show the status of the passengers.
Among the nobles who entered the gate of Chanyin Temple, one of them had a special status. This person was wearing a purple round neck and narrow sleeve robe. He was a third-rank eunuch in the Zhongyu Mansion, named Gao Fugong.
