When the spiritual energy of the third era was revived, the demon clan awakened relatively early, so at that time the human race became the slaves and livestock of the demon clan and was exploited for tens of thousands of years. It was a dark age for the human race.
Until later, Jian Zong took the lead in taking up the banner of reviving the human race and began to save the human race from the demon clan.
Later, the Taoist magic system was finally supported by the imitation of the demon clan's innate magical powers and the various classics unearthed from the caves of the first and second eras, and thus the Tiangong was later established.
As for Lingshan and Jixia Academy, it was the ancient mountain gate that finally emerged from the Hidden Sect after the great rise of the human race.
It was precisely because of the prosperity of these human forces that the human race finally ushered in the dawn. Not only did they kill the Demon King, but they also drove the demon clan to Beizhou - Beizhou at that time was the most desolate place in the Xuan Realm.
and difficult places.
However, as the disputes between the human race and the demon race gradually ceased, the various conflicts of the human race finally turned from external conflicts to internal conflicts.
The first one to bear the brunt is Lingshan.
Eight thousand years ago, Lingshan killed the Great Sage of the Mirage Demon through excessive means, which not only triggered the true unity of the demon clan, but also laid the root of chaos within Lingshan.
As the next thousand years evolved, not only was this source of trouble not eradicated, but it became more and more intense, and the two schools gradually began to compete.
One group is the moderate group, which believes that all things in the world have spirits, and the monsters are also members of the living beings, so they should not continue to kill them, but should give them a chance to change.
One group is the radical group, which believes that monsters are not a member of living beings, but are evil like all the monsters and monsters in the world, and are existences that need to be purified and eliminated.
The ideological dispute between the two Lingshan schools eventually led to the fall of the Venerable Fang Zi generation - he believed that today's Lingshan disciples are all weak people. How can Lingshan be strengthened in the long run, how can Buddhism be strengthened, and how can Buddhist ideas be carried forward?
This Venerable Lingshan of the Fang generation was later one of the Seven Lords of the Demonic Realm, the crazy monk who represented the idea of "madness".
Because of the appearance of Monk Chi, Lingshan was caught in the wave of public opinion in the Xuan Realm and was denounced by sects including Jian Sect, Tiangong, Jixia Academy and other sects.
And the crazy monk's fall into the devil naturally accelerated the decline of Lingshan.
About three hundred years later, the dispute between the two factions in Lingshan completely heated up, but unfortunately, Lingshan still didn't notice it at this time, and they had become a powder keg. Then, the crazy monk suddenly appeared in Lingshan again.
He seduced a large number of radical Buddhist disciples into demons, and a civil strife that no one expected completely broke out in Lingshan.
In this civil strife, all the few Lingshan monks of the Jian generation died. In addition, a large number of Lingshan monks of the Gu generation also died. Those who survived, together with Jian Zong, Tiangong, and Jixia Academy
The monks finally drove the crazy monk back to the demonic realm.
But as a result, Lingshan's decline was finally inevitable.
More than a hundred years have passed since this incident. As the disciples of the Gu generation who were injured in that battle gradually passed away, the new generation of disciples of the Zhong generation are increasingly showing different extreme tendencies. The last remaining
The disciples of the Gu generation finally had to disband Lingshan.
From then on, Lingshan officially became a thing of the past in the mysterious world.
However, the disciples who left Lingshan also formed two new sects with their own different ideas.
Xiaoleiyin Temple and Huanxi Sect.
Those Buddhist disciples who did not join these two sects and still believed in Lingshan's gentle philosophy also reunited with the last disciple of the Gu generation in Xuanjie and formed the Great Sun Tathagata Sect, which claimed to inherit Lingshan's orthodoxy.
The only remaining disciple of the Gu generation in the world is Zen Master Gu Xing, who is honored as "the last Buddha in Lingshan" by the Xuanjie.
No one knows how long he worshiped in Lingshan.
But according to Lingshan’s twenty-first-generation ranking of “a clear and enlightened mind, solid moral conduct, profound loyalty, deep mysteries, and true tranquility and wisdom”, he is the tenth generation of Lingshan’s orthodox disciples—the current generation of Xuanjie, with the greatest
According to the standards of the Tathagata sect, it is in the third
The "deep" generation of the fifteenth generation, and the powerful elders of the Great Sun Tathagata Sect are also in the "xuan" generation, so inferring from this, even the old monsters of the Nineteenth Sect who are in retreat, most of them encounter
When visiting this Living Buddha, one must respectfully address him as "Senior" or "Master Uncle".
After all, most of these people are equivalent to the "loyal" generation of the Great Sun Tathagata Sect.
In fact, even Huang Zi had to call Zen Master Gu Xing his uncle, because he was the same generation as his master when he entered the Heavenly Palace in the past.
But what’s interesting is that the sword sect’s demon-slaying sword, Zhao Jiamin, is equivalent to the seventh-generation disciple of Lingshan. Before the crazy monk fell into the devil, he had to call her uncle.
Apart from these existences that can now be regarded as inhuman, it is not an exaggeration to say that Gu Xing is the oldest monk in the human monastic world in the Xuan Realm.
…
A drop of cold sweat fell on Zhongyun's forehead.
Although Zen Master Gu Xing has ignored secular affairs for a long time, and does not particularly care about the gap in seniority, the sect, whether it is a disciple of the loyal generation or a disciple of the deep generation, can come to consult this old monk with the highest seniority in the human race - of course,
In fact, the Mahavairocana Sect will not really let those disciples come to disturb Zen Master Gu Xing:
Under the suggestion of a certain cheat, the Mahavairocana Sect regarded "asking Zen Master Guxing for advice" as a sect asset. Disciples within the sect need to accumulate contribution points to get an opportunity to ask for advice, and people from other sects can also
Obtain such opportunities by providing some "important help" to the Mahavairocana Sect.
But Zen Master Gu Xing's influence and sense of majesty on the entire Buddhist sect - the entire Buddhist system, not just the Mahavairocana sect - are still quite large. It is difficult for a Buddhist disciple to maintain his state of mind in front of him.
Stable, let alone Zhongyun who has followed Zen Master Gu Xing since the Lingshan era.
He only felt his mouth dry for a while.
"You should know that I have other minds." Zen Master Gu Xing said slowly. His speaking speed was not very fast, but his articulation was extremely clear. When he spoke, he spoke like a Hong Zhong Da Lu, word by word.
The words hit Zhongyun's heart.
Sudden enlightenment of one of the five great magical powers of Buddhism can be regarded as astonishing wisdom. Even a useless disciple who was not favored before will immediately become a core disciple of the Mahavairocana Sect - one who can try to feel the power of Buddhism and realize the five divine powers.
The Buddhist artifact is the treasure of Lingshan. It is only owned by the Great Sun Tathagata Sect, which inherited all the assets of Lingshan. It is not owned by Xiaoleiyin Temple and Huanxi Sect that split from Lingshan.
This is also the reason why the Mahavairocana Sect has always been the leader of Buddhist sects: Lingshan has left too many precious legacies to the Mahavairocana Sect.
And this treasure is guarded by Zen Master Gu Xing.
Facing this treasure for thousands of years, it is hard to say how many Buddhist magical powers Zen Master Gu Xing suddenly enlightened, but it is known that the magical power he uses most often is his mind power.
Zhongyun knew that he could not hide this living Buddha.
In other words, from the moment he stepped here, every move he made was already reflected in Gu Xing's mind.
"disciple……"
"Are you behind the split of Lingshan?"
"I..." Zhongyun raised his head, as if he was planning to say something.
But Zen Master Gu Xing had already nodded, indicating that he understood: "I see... it was after Lingshan split that the Peeping Immortal Alliance found you?"
Zhongyun didn't speak. He knew that under the influence of Zen Master Guxing's telepathy, he didn't need to say anything at all. As long as his mind changed, everything would be revealed. Unless he could maintain a selfless state of mind,
Seeing all the phenomena in the world as nothing - not to mention whether Zhongyun can maintain this state of mind, as long as he dares to maintain the selfless state of mind, he will probably be greeted by the angry eyes of Zen Master Gu Xing.
"Then, how much did you participate in the series of actions of the Peeping Immortal Alliance?"
Zhongyun didn't speak, just lowered his head.
He knew that Zen Master Gu Xing had used Buddhist techniques. Once he opened his mouth, he would involuntarily think of things related to it. He was not allowed to think about other things or have any reservations to get through. And as he thought more and more, he leaked
The more information he received, the paler Zhongyun's face became.
"Alas." Zen Master Gu Xing sighed, "You can go out... Zhongming and Zhongwei are waiting for you outside."
Zhongyun raised his head suddenly, his face turned white, and his whole body started to tremble.
He opened his mouth, as if he was planning to say something, but in the end he couldn't say anything. He just bowed silently, then turned and left.
Outside the secret room, two monks, a middle-aged man and an old man, were already guarding the room.
When Zhongyun entered the secret room before, there was no one here.
Zhongyun gave a bitter smile and said, "Senior Brother Zhongming, Junior Brother Zhongwei, I'm sorry to bother you."
Another middle-aged man looked a bit sad: "Brother Zhongyun, you..."
The old man also sighed: "Junior Brother Zhongyun, let's go."
Nowadays, the Great Sun Tathagata Sect has basically reached the fifteenth generation of disciples. There are actually not many loyal eleventh generation disciples like them, so they have quite deep feelings for each other. So we see
Regarding Zhongyun's situation, these two people were naturally a little sad, because they already knew the result of Zhongyun.
"Senior Brother Zhongming, is this Sin Yuan?"
Zhongming shook his head.
And just as Zhongming and Zhongwei were escorting Zhongyun away, a figure suddenly appeared in the secret room.
"Old Huang will definitely be very dissatisfied."
"This child Huang Zi is too violent and murderous." Zen Master Gu Xing glanced at Yin Lingzhu, and then said lightly, "Although I can understand that Yi Hui's death was a huge blow to him, but I still can't
Approval of his actions."
"Well, I understand." Yin Lingzhu shrugged, "otherwise you wouldn't have left the Avengers."
"The word revenge is too heavy." Zen Master Gu Xing shook his head.
"Then where did you send him?" Yin Lingzhu's face showed a bit of curiosity, "Sin Yuan?"
Zen Master Gu Xing shook his head.
"It's not Sin Yuan?" This time it was Yin Lingzhu's turn to be shocked, "The inner demons can only rely on the heavenly demons to act. Now that the Lord of the heavenly demons has died in the ancient battlefield of Netherworld, the outer demons are leaderless and can't do anything. You Lingshan disciples
should
Can some manpower be transferred back from the Demon Prison? As for the underworld, Huangquan Palace has always been responsible for suppressing it. If necessary, they can even order Qingyan Pavilion, Hongchen Building, and Blood Sea Island to assist in defense. There is no need for it.
You guys."
Xuanjie has not been a peaceful place since ancient times.
Even in an era when spiritual energy is exhausted, there will never be a shortage of monsters and monsters, so naturally someone needs to suppress them on their behalf.
This is also where various folk legends and strange spirits have been spread since ancient times.
The reason why it seems stable and peaceful is because other people are contributing.
As the old saying goes.
There are no quiet years in the world, it's just that someone helps you carry the load forward.
Lingshan, Jixia Academy, and even Huangquan Palace have been responsible for suppressing three of the five great places in the Xuan Realm: the Demon Prison where heavenly demons gather, the Sin Abyss where demons gather, and the Hades where evil ghosts are everywhere.
For this, Lingshan and Jixia Academy sacrificed countless lives.
Even though Lingshan and Jixia Academy split one after another, this mission has never been abandoned: since the Great Sun Tathagata Sect, which inherited Lingshan orthodoxy, has taken many benefits of Lingshan, it naturally has to shoulder corresponding obligations; similarly, Confucian orthodoxy
The Zhuzi Academy must also shoulder the responsibility of the Jixia Academy in the past.
However, with the death of the old master of the Heavenly Demons in the ancient battlefield of Netherworld, the Heavenly Demons fell into a leaderless situation, and their intensity of attacking the mysterious world was naturally reduced.
Even though Zen Master Gu Xing never said it openly, in fact the Mahavairocana Sect still inherited Taiyi Valley, which was Huang Zi's love.
The human race and the demon race do not deliberately target any ghost cultivators and corpse cultivators. Even Zhuzi Academy and Baijiayuan never take action against the forces of Huangquan Palace. They only occasionally target the evil-doing Hongchen Tower, Qingyan Pavilion ghost cultivators, and
The reason why the corpse cultivator on Blood Sea Island took action was largely due to the fact that Huangquan Palace was responsible for controlling the underworld.
After all, when the evil spirits attack the underworld with too much force and the Huangquandian family cannot suppress them, Hongchen Tower, Qingyan Pavilion, and Blood Sea Island must also obey the orders of Huangquandian and go to support them.
No one knows how these three places were born, and no one knows how vast these three places are. The only thing they know is that entering them will definitely lead to death and no life, so they are called Jedi.
And the underworld does not need the attention of human forces, and the pressure of the devil's prison has also been reduced sharply, so the only place left that still needs support is the abyss of sin.
After Jixia Academy was split into Zhuzi Academy and Baijiayuan, Baijiayuan had to take care of the Nanzhou Monster Clan, so it had no time to help. In addition, Zhuzi Academy did not have a venerable person as powerful as the Five Emperors.
He was in charge, so it was quite difficult to suppress Sin Yuan. At the same time, he suffered the most casualties among the forces guarding these three Jedi.
Logically speaking, if we want to punish Zhongyun, sending him to assist Zhuzi Academy to suppress Sin Yuan is the most appropriate way to deal with it.
"Is it a ghost town?" Yin Lingzhu spoke again, but after seeing Gu Xing shaking his head, he added: "It can't be a deserted sea."
Among the five great places in the Mysterious Realm, Sin Abyss, Demon Prison, Hades, and Ghost City are all places similar to secret realms. Only the Sea of No Man is located in the Mysterious Realm.
But among them, the deserted sea is the most unique.
"None of them." Zen Master Gu Xing shook his head, "You don't have to guess. I'll tell you the truth. It's a demonic realm."
"Demon realm?!" Yin Lingzhu was shocked, "Crazy monk?"
"More than that." Zen Master Gu Xing shook his head, "Since the Sword Washing Pool, the power of the Demon Realm has become stronger. I tried to deduce it, but the details are unclear. I only know that there should be a new Demon Lord born in the Demon Realm or
I woke up... And just yesterday, I sensed the birth of a new Demon Lord in the Demon Realm. Counting now, there are probably five Demon Lords in the Demon Realm... You don't want to see the Demon Realm come back again.
