In the quiet room, the pale and exhausted young man couldn't help but let out a "huh" sound.
It turns out that the name of this Bagua compass is very long, it is called "Taiyi Nine Palaces Bagua Tiandao Compass"!
How can a nine-character name be simple?
There is an ancient piece of information on this Heavenly Dao Disk, which says that this object is the treasure of the Tang Dynasty Royal Taoist Palace, and the Tang Dynasty royal family is the leader of Taoism.
The emperors of the past dynasties were originally the masters of the great road. In other words, this is actually the property of the emperor.
There are two pieces of information left on the Tiandao disk, one is:
"On the ninth day of the fifth month of the ninety-ninth year of Ding'an in the Tang Dynasty, there was great chaos in Chang'an, and the emperor and his wife died together. Taoist Qingxu of the Royal Taoist Palace took the Taiyi Jiugong Bagua Tiandao Pan from Chang'an to Feitian Temple in Geshan, Luoyang, and handed it over to the master of Fayan Temple.
to save."
This piece of information was obviously left by the client, Taoist Qingxu.
The second piece of information was obviously left by the client, Fa Yan, and said:
"On May 12, the ninety-ninth year of Ding'an in the Tang Dynasty, the world collapsed. The four great Ming sects were about to fall, and the catastrophe of Feitian Temple was coming. Amitabha hid this thing in the belly of the statue."
Both paragraphs are very concise, but the information revealed is huge.
First of all, the specific time of the demise of the Li Tang Dynasty was finally clarified: the ninth day of May in the ninety-ninth year of Ding'an!
On this day, Chang'an suddenly fell into chaos, and all the emperors and empresses fell.
Qingxu, a Taoist priest from the Royal Taoist Palace, fled to Feitian Temple in Luoyang with the Tiandao Pan and handed the Tiandao Pan to the master of Fayan Temple for safekeeping.
From this inference, the people who destroyed Li Tang had not yet had time to take action against Buddhism.
But just three days later, Buddhism also suffered.
In just three days, the Li Tang imperial family was destroyed, and the four great Ming sects of Taoism, Confucianism, Legalism, and Buddhism were all destroyed!
Three days.
The imperial family is the head of Taoism, and with the equally powerful Confucianism, Legalism, and Buddhism, they also control the fate of the dynasty. How powerful is the power?
And how deep is the foundation of the Li and Tang dynasty's rule for tens of thousands of years?
But the Li Tang Dynasty and the Four Ming Cults were so powerful that they were all wiped out in just three days!
In two or three days, the world of Li and Tang fell into pieces, and the four Ming sects disappeared into thin air.
Such a huge dynasty and magnificent civilization were simply wiped out with a snap of a finger.
Who is the enemy?
terrible.
Even after so many years, Jiang Yao still felt shuddering.
Even if he was an idiot, he still knew the power of Tang Ting and the Four Ming Cults at that time. At that time, there should be quite a few peerless experts at the Earth Immortal level.
The strength of the emperor and empress is even more unfathomable. Otherwise, how could he rule the world and command his subjects?
However, so many powerful earth immortals, including the emperor and empress, could not stop the Tang Destroyer from being executed!
Could it be that the one who destroyed the Tang Dynasty was the real ancient god?
Jiang Yao had a lot of thoughts and sat there for a long time. Then he took out a jade slip and solemnly wrote in a scholar's manner:
""Draft of Tang History""
"On the ninth day of May in the ninety-ninth year of Ding'an, the true emperor Ding'an died in Chang'an, the imperial family overthrew, and the Tang Dynasty fell."
Jiang Yao's new history of the Tang Dynasty contains only this sentence, and it is also the first sentence.
But this sentence is the beginning of Jiang's "Manuscript of Tang History".
Jiang Yao thought for a while and added something he learned from the fish demon Li Jinyi in the ancient well in the secret realm:
"Before Ding'an, the reign name was Tianheng. Therefore, the true emperor Ding'an was the true emperor Tianheng, the last emperor of Li Tang."
Added another sentence found on the secret stone tablet: "In the early Tang Dynasty, in the year 382 of Tiance, because of the Buddhist monk Xiangjian's meritorious service in teaching and cultivating sea turtles, he was granted the title of Feitian Dharma King and built the Feitian Temple in Geshan, Luoyang."
These three sentences can be regarded as historical facts, and they are all practical information.
The editor's signature of "Tang History Manuscript" is: Taishi Jiang.
Jiang Yao really had a scholar's heart. He solemnly compiled the "Manuscript of the History of the Tang Dynasty" which only had a few words. Then he swallowed a handful of elixirs to replenish his spiritual consciousness and soul power, and then refined the Heavenly Dao Disk.
Refining the Heavenly Dao Disk actually requires willing power!
Three full days passed, Jiang Yao used all his strength, and finally with the help of demonic energy, he initially refined the Taiyi Nine Palaces Bagua Tiandao Disk!
If it hadn't been for too long and the restriction of the Tiandao Pan had dropped drastically, with Jiang Yao's cultivation level, there would be no need to try it.
Although it was only the most basic level of refining, Jiang Yao also understood the general purpose of this substance.
This object comes from Taiyi Mountain and is extremely ancient. It is an acquired spiritual treasure corresponding to the nine states in the world and a relic of Fuxi.
It can sense the destiny of heaven, adjust the yin and yang, survey the world, determine the root of all phenomena, calculate the annual rings of time and space, detect and control chaos and bad luck, and prevent thousands of changes!
It is indeed a treasure of the emperor and a national Taoist weapon.
Since it was only the most basic level of refining, Jiang Yao only had a rough understanding of it. As for how to use this treasure, he currently had no idea at all.
It is estimated that you need to practice at least to the level of Martial Immortal to unlock some basic uses.
Jiang Yao put a ban on the "Taiyi Jiugong Bagua Heavenly Dao Disk" and put it in the ring, and then took out a blood rose demon crystal.
It's time to use this item to improve your strength.
Jiang Yao swallowed the demon crystal, and the energy and blood in his body suddenly boiled, as if his blood was burning.
boom!
The powerful vitality, as the ginger medicine is refined and refined, is about to turn into reality...
Five days later, Jiang Yao stood up suddenly, with a strong aura lingering around him.
Wu Zhen is complete!
Not only has the martial arts cultivation reached the perfection of martial arts, but also the body training has also broken through from the immortal marrow body to the glazed body.
A person with perfect martial arts has a physical strength that reaches the level of perfect martial arts.
Wu Zhen is perfect, glazed body!
The strength of Jiang Yao is much stronger than before!
………
Yaodao Shrine, Daozi Palace.
"Xu Erlang meets the master!"
Xu Erlang, who had broken through to Wuzong not long ago, saluted respectfully to Fairy Luo who was sitting on the throne of Daozi. His expression was excited and his voice was trembling.
He never thought that his master would take the initiative to summon him to talk to him again.
In his excitement, his new understanding of the wonderful meaning of the sword suddenly became clear and he entered Xiaocheng!
Fairy Luo shook her head helplessly and said, "You always call me master. If it reaches the ears of your master, the Sword Master, huh."
"Yes, Master!" Xu Erlang said respectfully, despite repeated admonitions.
Only the title master will not blaspheme the master.
Only the dust on the earth knows the height and beauty of the white clouds.
Fairy Luo looked at Xu Erlang and couldn't help but praise: "Jianxin's bloodline is indeed powerful. In just a few years, you have been promoted from a warrior to a martial sect, crossing two great realms in a row."
Xu Erlang's cultivation speed is really amazing.
Sure enough, for people with Kenshin's bloodline, it is the way of kenshin that leads them to promotion, not the way of people that leads them to kenshin.
Rather than saying it is cultivation, it is better to say it is the awakening process of the sword's heart.
Xu Erlang bowed his hands and said: "That's all because of Master. Master, what I cultivate is the way of guarding the sword. This is also the foundation of my sword. If it weren't for Master's grace, how would I be today?"
Fairy Luo smiled and said: "Sit down, don't stand so respectfully, I feel uncomfortable."
"Yes, thank you Master for the seat." Xu Erlang obeyed the order and sat upright in the hall, his expression was humble, but his back was as straight as a sword.
Fairy Luo took a sip of the spirit tea and said, "I called you here today because I want to give you something. You and I are masters and servants, and if there are benefits, I will not forget you."
After she finished speaking, she took out a golden fruit and said, "This is all the wisdom fruit I got from this secret realm. It can improve understanding, round out the Taoist heart, and get rid of mental malaise."
It’s very generous to give earthly treasure-level spiritual fruit to you as soon as you ask.
She got nine all-knowledge fruits. Yu Kuan, Mu Yue, Jiang Xiucheng, Mu Yaochai and Jiang Cai all gave them to her.
Give another one to Xu Erlang, and there are still two left.
"Thank you, Master!" Xu Erlang took over all the precious wisdom fruits with great excitement, with tears in his eyes.
Such rare and rare good things are of immeasurable value, yet the master gives them to them as they say.
Is there such a good master in this world?
there is none left!
In an instant, Xu Erlang felt that he was the happiest person in the world.
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu Thank you for the reward, master. I feel extremely ashamed. If I can't repay you, I will be ruined..."
Xu Erlang sensed the Taoist charm of all wisdom fruits and bowed his head in tears.
At this moment, he felt that his enterprising spirit was in full swing and his sword was as strong as iron, just to become a strong swordsman as soon as possible and protect the unparalleled master in the world.
"Okay, it doesn't have to be like this, you are a Jianmen swordsman." Fairy Luo said.
What would Sword Master Gai Li think if he learned that his successor was kneeling in front of Fairy Luo and calling him master, master?
"Master." Xu Erlang presented several rings, "Last time, my slave took the master to be the first. As expected, the master showed his power and won the first place. For this reason, my slave won 1.4 billion at once!"
"However, this money is won because of the master. The servant dare not ask for it. I am willing to dedicate it all to the master."
What?
Give all one billion to yourself?
Fairy Luo couldn't believe that there were such good people in the world.
this…
"This is the money you won, can you give it to me? Just take it yourself. You are a swordsman from Jianmen. You have a distinguished status and have a lot of resources at your disposal, making it easier for you to do things." Fairy Luo shook her head and refused.
But her eyes were even brighter.
Xu Erlang said respectfully: "I have to refute my master once. How can I hold so much money with peace of mind? Without a master, how can I win more than one billion spiritual jade?"
"Besides..."
Xu Erlang raised his head, his calm eyes showing a trace of determination, "Besides, I know in my heart that my master is born to do great things, and no amount of spiritual jade is too much."
"If the master refuses to accept the slave, how can the slave's loyalty be fulfilled? If the master refuses to accept the slave, the slave will feel uneasy and lacking in moral integrity..."
Seeing that the child insisted on doing this, Fairy Luo could only smile and said: "Okay, okay, then I'll accept it."
She reluctantly accepted several rings and gave a few back to Xu Erlang, "I only take one billion, and you must keep the remaining four hundred million yourself. Otherwise, I won't accept a piece of spiritual jade."
Xu Erlang had no choice but to agree, "Yes, master."
Fairy Luo took out several high-grade elixirs from the Medicine Dao Shrine and gave them to Xu Erlang.
In the end, Xu Erlang was flattered and left Yaogong Daozi Hall overjoyed.
When Fairy Luo appeared this time, in addition to delivering things to Xu Erlang, she also went to inspect her fiefdom.
After inspecting the territory, she will "retreat" again and will not be able to leave for a long time.
That fiefdom is a reward for the young master.
Her fiefdom of thousands of miles is in Dafan County, Taoshui Bay, west of Dishan Mountain.
There were millions of households of serfs on the fiefdom, which mainly produced spiritual rice and spiritual fish.
Of course she wanted to take a look at such a big property.
Dafan County was originally the territory of the Mei Clan. After the Deng Clan, Mei Clan, and Wei Clan were destroyed by Mu Wuji, most of the land was divided up, and a small part of the land was used for rewards.
Although Luo Xianzi was a member of Yaogong Daozi and a decision-making member of the headquarters, she was very low-key. She quietly left the palace alone and flew directly south to Dafan County.
Three days later, Fairy Luo's spaceship finally entered Dafan County, and based on the map, found Taoshui Bay to the west of Dishan Mountain.
Above the white clouds, overlooking the fiefdom below, you can see that the plains are fertile and the rivers are like ribbons. It is really a land of fish and rice.
On the fiefdom, villages and fields are dotted here and there, and mortal villages are dotted among them. At first glance, it looks very peaceful.
Fairy Ke Luo knew that this was not the case at all.
There is no official government or legal system in the mortal world. It is completely family autonomy and rural autonomy. Public security and order are very chaotic.
Murder, robbery, and annihilation are neither crimes nor punishable by law.
When someone is beaten or killed, it is usually the family members or clan members who come forward to either take revenge, ask for compensation, or let the clan elders mediate.
If the two tribes cannot reconcile, they will fight until one side is destroyed or one side is convinced.
The cultivated land in the real world is fertile and there are many acres. Few people will starve to death, but many people will be beaten to death.
The irony is that although mortals are slaves like cattle and sheep in front of Wu Xiu, and their status is extremely low, when Wu Xiu is around, the order of the mortals is actually the best.
Once the martial arts master does not appear for a long time, they will fight with each other or even kill each other.
There is no way, so there is no heaven.
Fairy Luo came to her manor and soon saw a fight.
In two neighboring villages, all the able-bodied men went into battle and several people were beaten to death.
This kind of thing is commonplace, and martial arts cultivators won't care about it.
As long as the spirit rice and spirit fish pay enough, it will be fine. As for how mortals fight, martial arts cultivators don't care at all.
You can imagine what kind of ecology this mortal world is like.
Very primitive, similar to the tribal clan era.
The only thing better than primitive tribes is that they still have unified writing and customs.
This is the only civilizational achievement left by the ancient unified dynasty.
Fairy Luo didn't mind her own business. Even if she changed her fiefdom, what's the use?
What needs to change is the whole world, not just her little fiefdom.
Luo Xianzi cast an invisibility spell and walked through the lively and barbaric villages.
Men work like cattle and horses on the farmland, and women work in the mulberry fields. In some corners, fights, robberies, and thefts are going on...
Although the population is not small, everything is full of ignorance, darkness, chaos, filth, and blood.
From time to time, I see corpses and heads hanging high that were beheaded by martial arts cultivators because of laziness.
The martial arts supervisor of the manor has only one way to deal with laziness: murder.
Therefore, the price of being lazy is extremely high, almost your own life.
Mortals have more children and die more, so the population has not changed much for a long time.
Just as Fairy Luo was about to return home, she suddenly saw a familiar figure.
Deng Jiu!
That’s right, it was Jiang Yao’s “father” back then: Deng Jiu!
After Mu Wuji eliminated the Deng clan, the Mei clan, and the Wei clan, he ordered that the cultivation of all three clans be abolished, and they were all demoted to ordinary slaves to work in the manor.
Deng Jiu was a master of martial arts and a direct descendant of the dignified Deng family, but his cultivation was suddenly abolished and he became a mortal.
It's been a few years.
At this moment, Deng Jiu was braving the heavy snow to remove snow from the crops to prevent the snow from being too thick and bending the seedlings.
He was wearing a sheepskin jacket similar to that of the old days, holding a shovel, and shoveling snow silently like the ordinary serfs around him.
Heavy snow fell and fell on his beard, making his appearance look even more weathered.
Speaking of which, Deng Jiu was less than sixty, so he was still a young man to a monk. But to a mortal, he was already old.
However, after all, Deng Jiu was once a master of martial arts. Although his cultivation was abolished, his physical strength and soul strength were not comparable to those of ordinary slaves.
At this moment, suddenly a ten-thousand-mile horse galloped over. All the serfs knelt down together, with their heads on the snow, and shouted in unison: "Slave to pay homage to Master Wuxiu!"
The martial arts supervisor was just a warrior, but in front of the serfs, he was a superior being.
"Listen, all of you, all the manors thousands of miles away here are the fiefdoms of Lord Li Luo. Lord Li Luo has newly sealed this land, and the harvest next year can only be more or less. Don't make Lord Li Luo angry. Otherwise..."
The Lord Warrior scolded him, and suddenly looked down at Deng Jiu and shouted: "Deng Jiu, why didn't you call yourself a slave before? Do you think I am deaf?"
After saying this, he whipped Deng Jiu.
If this whip were struck on an ordinary serf, it would have killed him.
However, Deng Jiu's body was far stronger than that of ordinary serfs. He received a whip, and although he was shivering in pain, his life was not in danger.
"My lord, please calm down. This slave deserves to die, this slave deserves to die!" Deng Jiu did not dare to argue, so he had to kowtow and beg for mercy.
The warrior snorted coldly: "If you know your identity, do you still think you are a martial artist? Be careful, you will live a few more years."
"Yes, thank you for your teaching!" Deng Jiu said without even daring to raise his head.
The warrior master showed off his power in front of Deng Jiu, and when he saw that Deng Jiu was still submissive, he left with satisfaction.
When other serfs saw Deng Jiu being beaten, they all took pleasure in his misfortune.
However, they did not dare to bully Deng Jiu because they could not beat him.
Fairy Luo was hiding nearby and saw this scene, and she couldn't tell what she felt in her heart.
All in all, it was not satisfying.
It was already dusk, and the manor was busy with casual work. Deng Jiu carried the shovel and walked back through the wind and snow.
He lowered his head and stepped on the knee-deep snow, one foot deeper and the other shallow. After a quarter of an hour, he finally arrived at a small courtyard with thatched earth walls.
In the thatched cottage in the small courtyard, a dim yellow light shines, smoke rises from the chimney, and the aroma of rice comes, which looks very warm in the wind and snow.
Full of home atmosphere.
Returning home on a snowy night.
The figure of a busy woman is reflected in the window by an oil lamp.
When she saw Deng Jiu coming back, she immediately came out to welcome him.
"Dad, you're back. Come inside and warm yourself up."
The woman opened the door and said while blowing into the white mist. She was clothed in Jingchai cloth and had a vicissitudes of life on her face, looking like a peasant woman.
When she saw Deng Jiu, her face changed and she looked distressed, "Been beaten again?"
Deng Jiu said: "It's okay, let's talk about it after we enter the room."
Seeing this woman, Fairy Luo felt that things in the world were really unpredictable.
She knew this woman very well, she was really Jiang Yao's "mother": Wei Rong.
It's just that at this time, Wei Rong, like Deng Jiu, had been deprived of his cultivation by Mu Clan and was completely a mortal.
She was originally very beautiful, but now, she is not much different from a peasant woman.
"Daddy." A little girl about three years old staggered toward Deng Jiu with open arms and said in a sweet voice, "Daddy is back."
"Daddy." A little boy about one year old also staggered out from under the table.
Deng Jiu chuckled and said, "Cai'er, Yao'er, do you miss daddy?"
The two children nodded together: "I miss you Daddy!"
It turns out that the names of the two children were Deng Cai and Deng Yao.
Fairy Luo never expected that the two of them were just a fake couple back then, but how many years later, they actually became a real couple.
We are still a family of four, but everything has changed.
"Dad, let's eat." Wei Rong quickly put down the bowls and chopsticks and picked up Deng Yao.
"Okay." Deng Jiu sat down in front of the dining table with a fire and started eating.
The meal is very simple. In addition to the staple food of brown rice, it is radish and green vegetables.
"Originally, I was going to scramble two eggs to replenish your health." Wei Rong smiled bitterly, "But our chicken coop was dug out, and there were chicken feathers all over the floor, but there was nothing left."
"Forget it." Deng Jiu shook his head a little tiredly, "After I've been busy for a while, I'll try my luck in the mountains and see if I can catch a wild animal."
"Yao'er has just been weaned, so it's not good to eat too vegetarian."
The little girl said in a sweet voice: "Daddy, I want to eat meat."
Deng Jiu touched her head and said, "Okay, we'll be here in a few days."
Wei Rong gave Deng Jiu a piece of green vegetables. Suddenly his eyes turned red and he burst into tears.
Deng Jiu stopped his chopsticks and said, "Remember those sad things again? Stop thinking about them. This is our fate."
Wei Rong shed tears and said: "We have become mortal slaves, but Cao'er and Yao'er will also have to be mortal slaves for the rest of their lives."
She looked at the flying snow outside the window, and her eyes became blurred. "Back then, in the Lishan region of the Southern Territory, we were a family of four, and we also had grass and herbs. It was almost the same as now... Oh, it's just like a dream."
Deng Jiu also looked lonely, with a look of nostalgia on his face.
Fairy Luo looked at the family outside the courtyard with calm eyes.
One drink and one peck, could it be a predetermined decision?
She took out the dried meat she always kept in her ring and threw it into Deng Jiu's courtyard.
These dried meats are all mortal food, which she eats for a change of taste in order to enjoy the smoke of mortal smoke.
After that, she disappeared into the wind and snow, as if she had never been there.
"who?"
With a "squeak" sound, the door was opened, and Deng Jiu and Wei Rong went out. They didn't see anyone, but they saw half a mutton jerky.
"This is..." Deng Jiu stepped forward in surprise and picked up half of the dried mutton, "This is yellow sheep."
"Yellow sheep?" Wei Rong took it over and looked at it, with a look of astonishment in his eyes, "I remember, Yao'er...Jiang Yao, likes to eat dried yellow sheep meat the most, is it him?"
Deng Jiu looked sadly at the boundless wind and snow sky, and couldn't help showing a hint of pain in his eyes, "It should be him, that's right. Cough cough... cough cough cough!"
Deng Jiu suddenly coughed violently, causing his face to turn red.
Wei Rong slumped his back with a forlorn expression.
"There is meat to eat, there is meat to eat!" Deng Cai clapped her hands happily and looked at the dried meat eagerly.
The child didn't know that at this moment, the person who gave her the meat to eat was already thousands of miles away.
