Chapter Five Hundred and Seventy-Three The Demon Star Comes to the World and the Three Respects
King Duan entered the palace and succeeded to the throne in front of the late emperor with the support of the Empress Dowager and the East and West Palaces. For a time, everyone inside and outside the court took active actions to congratulate the new emperor on his accession to the throne.
Everything went smoothly and smoothly, and the other princes remained silent, as if they had completely given up on the idea of competition. This situation was slightly strange, but the reason for it was unclear.
At an auspicious time and on an auspicious day, Zhao Ji led the courtiers to hold a coronation ceremony, burning incense and offering sacrifices to heaven...
…
"Fu Sheng Boundless Heavenly Lord, may I ask, but will it be done in person by fellow Taoist Feiyun?"
In the southern suburbs, far away from the crowd of worshipers, Chu Feng was standing alone with his hands behind his hands. He did not look at the crowd in front of him, but looked at the sky for a long time.
When I heard someone greeting me, I couldn't help but come back to my senses. I turned around and saw an old Taoist with white beard and hair holding a whisk in his hand. He only wore a thin Taoist robe, which was very incompatible with the cold weather at this time.
.
The old Taoist was not alone, there were no less than a dozen young disciples following him behind him.
The strange thing is that these disciples are about the same age, half male and half male. Each of them carries a long sword on his back and has a fierce temperament. There are also some simple cloth bags tied around his waist. It is unknown what the bulging bags contain.
At this time, everyone suddenly showed a hint of curiosity when they saw the old Taoist taking the initiative to greet people.
"Brother Dao, do you recognize Mr. Chu?"
"My Taoist friend's name has been spread all over the world, and the old Taoist has admired me for a long time. I heard the letter from Taoist friend Shi a few months ago, so I naturally recognize him."
"That's it." Chu Feng nodded, and then glanced at the young Taoist priests behind him.
"I don't know what to call brother?"
"The poor Taoist's surname is Liu, his courtesy name is Hunkang, and he comes from Maoshan."
The old Taoist smiled and said his name, including his origin, without hiding anything.
"It turns out to be the world-famous Mr. Huayang, whose name I have admired for a long time." Chu Feng was stunned for a moment, and immediately thought of the other party's identity, then nodded and replied with a smile.
"How dare you? How dare you? You deserve to be praised by fellow Taoists." Liu Hunkang smiled modestly without any flattery. He paused and suddenly asked again,
"Looking at what my fellow Taoist was doing just now, he seemed to be observing the sky, but is there anything wrong?"
"Isn't it appropriate?" Chu Feng turned to look at the sky again, and did not answer immediately. After a long time, he shook his head slightly and said,
"Chu is not sure either, I'm just making a guess."
Liu Hunkang looked slightly surprised. He also looked towards the sky, then raised his palm and started counting with his five fingers at a very fast speed.
Chu Feng's eyes flashed, and his consciousness could clearly sense the slight fluctuation of the thread of destiny nearby, and he couldn't help but secretly thought that this old Taoist indeed had something in the realm of Tianji Shushu.
After a while, Liu Hunkang lowered his palms and sighed,
"The old Taoist has a shallow cultivation, but he is a bit ridiculous."
At this time, the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven had begun. The courtiers were solemn and solemn. Zhao Ji held the imperial edict in his hand and read it in person. Waves of powerful words resounded in all directions like a yellow bell and a big robe.
"Huh……"
In the distance, Liu Hunkang glanced at Zhao Ji, but suddenly let out a light sigh, as if he felt something was wrong. He subconsciously looked at Chu Feng beside him, and saw that the other person was still looking at the sky and observing, and he was even more confused.
My Ziwei Divine Number is considered the highest calculation method in the spiritual world. Is it possible that there are really some omissions?
While he was thinking about it, suddenly, a voice of exclamation suddenly sounded from behind, but it was none other than the Maoshan disciples who were following him.
"Master, look, look, what is that?"
"Rumble..."
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard bursts of muffled thunder suddenly, shaking the world. The originally clear sky was suddenly covered with dark clouds, making the sky dark and the earth dark.
"this……"
"what happened……"
"what happened……"
"..."
For a moment, all the worshipers were in a panic, shouting and screaming in horror.
"quiet……"
On the altar, Zhao Ji shouted coldly, instantly attracting everyone's attention. At this time, the courtiers, the royal family, and even some monks and Taoist elders all realized that they had lost their composure just now.
At the same time, I also looked at this official with some special eyes. I didn't expect that he would have such a state of mind and be able to remain calm and calm in the face of such unknown changes in the sky without the slightest fear.
"The sacrificial ceremony has ended. If you are a minister, you can immediately return to the palace with me to discuss the burial of the late emperor. In addition, the imperial army remains behind to evacuate the crowd..."
As the emperor's orders were issued one by one, the people present became quiet and began to leave in an orderly manner. Within a moment, the place became empty.
Liu Hunkang noticed everything that happened in the distance, and was surprised by Zhao Ji's "strangeness". However, at this time, he had no energy to think about anything else. His whole mind was distracted by the strange thing in the sky.
The elephant was attracted.
"Fellow Daoist Chu, what on earth is going on?"
"Brother Dao has doubts, so why not Mr. Chu?"
Chu Feng shook his head slightly, obviously not knowing what was going on. Liu Hunkang couldn't help but sigh. It seemed that it was difficult to figure out the reason.
"Master, please open the Eye of Burning Sky immediately."
But at this moment, Xiao Zi's voice suddenly came into his mind, and Chu Feng's heart moved. Without hesitation, purple light suddenly burst out in his eyes, and he looked towards the sky again.
"This is……"
Chu Feng's eyes condensed. At this moment, what he saw was no longer the dim sky and earth. In the depths of the starry sky, the stars seemed to be suddenly activated. Their brilliance was shining and mysterious.
The stars were obscured by the clouds, and it was impossible to see them unless the Burning Eyes were opened. Just like the young Maoshan disciples behind them, they all looked at a loss.
In contrast, it was Liu Hunkang, an old man who obviously had no skills. He stared at the sky and frowned, as if he was vaguely aware of something.
"Master, I have counted the stars that suddenly burst into glory just now, in total there are one hundred and eight."
Xiao Zi's voice entered the sea of consciousness again as a reminder. However, when he heard this number, Chu Feng couldn't help but feel something in his heart. One hundred and eight, could it be them?
"Brother Taoist, does he know about the One Hundred and Eight Constellations?"
"What, fellow Taoist also knows about this?" Liu Hunchang's expression changed slightly, he paused, and then replied,
"Twenty years later, Liangshan gathered for justice, and the evil star invaded Ziwei."
"Devil Star!" Chu Feng was slightly surprised and turned to look at the other party.
"Thirty-six Heavenly Gangs, seventy-two Earthly Demons, and a total of one hundred and eight evil stars came to the world." Liu Hunkang nodded and said,
"To be honest, someone had already calculated this matter a hundred years ago when Taizu founded the country. However, for unknown reasons two months ago, the original fate suddenly changed, and now it is even more obscure."
"Two months ago?"
Chu Feng's heart trembled, and he instantly understood that it might be related to his own impending arrival. Based on his current actions, I am afraid that the fate of too many people will be changed. How can there be no waves in the long river of fate?
His expression was calm and showed no signs of strangeness, and he turned to ask,
"Not only which senior has such a prophetic ability?"
"Huashan."
Liu Hunkang only replied two words, but Chu Feng had already guessed the identity of the other party. He was even more curious, wondering if that person was still alive?
As if aware of his thoughts, Liu Hunkang couldn't help but shook his head slightly, and then said,
"Since the reign of Emperor Taizong, Sanzun Island has been hidden. I think it has already ascended. However, this is just the old Taoist's own guess. If you want to know the truth, you need to ask fellow Taoist Shi."
"Three Lords Island" Chu Feng's eyes lit up. This name is really surprising.
"Where is the Island of Three Lords mentioned by Brother Tao, and who are the three Lords?"
"Uh, you don't know?" This time it was Liu Hunkang's turn to be stunned. With such a strong cultivation level, he must have a good teaching background. How could he not know about Sanzun Island? However, although he was confused, he also
did not hide it,
"Sanzun Island is a spiritual island cave that the Eight Immortals of the Taoist Sect accidentally found overseas in the past. Later, the Eight Immortals ascended one after another, and only Lv Zu remained. Lv Zu was tired of the world, so he retreated here to practice cultivation. He also met Mr. Xiyi and Lishan
My mother knew each other and often invited the two of them to the cave to talk about Taoism. Therefore, they were collectively called the Three Deities by later generations, and they were the three seniors with the highest level of cultivation in the Taoist sect in the world."
Chu Feng suddenly fell silent. He had just met Lu Dongbin once before, but he didn't expect to hear his name again so soon. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart, these people really have their avatars all over the world, and they exist everywhere.
On second thought, this might be an opportunity for me. If the other party is still in the mortal world, wouldn't it be possible to consult him about the truth about this world? After all, this is an immortal world, and there is no reason for it to be like this.
"Brother Dao, can you tell me the location of Sanzun Island?" Chu Feng asked directly without beating around the bush.
"It's self-evident. However, Sanzun Island is not a dead island, but is constantly moving. The old Taoist only knows its previous location. As for whether it can be found, it depends on the chance of fellow Taoists."
Liu Hunkang was startled for a moment, and he probably guessed that the other party was going to search for it. However, the cave had been hidden for a long time, so it might not be that easy to find.
As he spoke, his lips opened and closed slightly, transmitting the specific information.
After a moment, Chu Feng nodded slightly, and then looked towards the sky. At this time, the dark clouds had dispersed, and the sky and the earth were bright again, and there was no trace of the strangeness before.
"Brother Taoist, you are so busy here, why not go to Chu's house and have a talk?"
"In this way, the old Taoist would be disrespectful. To be honest, I came to Bianjing this time for an extremely important task, which is related to the people of the world. It would be great if I could get help from my fellow Taoists."
"That's it." Chu Feng was slightly surprised and then said,
"It doesn't matter, as long as Chu can do his best, I will never refuse. This is not the place to talk. Brother Dao, come with me."
…
Chu Feng didn't care about matters in the court. What's more, with his previous arrangements, there was no need to worry about it.
among the streets,
A group of Taoist disciples wearing Taoist uniforms and carrying swords on their backs walked together, which naturally attracted too many people's attention. Especially now, the world has returned to its original state, and the people no longer have worries, and they have stopped to watch.
"I haven't been down the mountain for many years, but the scene of such a prosperous time is better than before." Liu Hunkang seemed to be feeling a little emotional, and sighed softly.
"Chu forgot that when Shenzong was still in power, Taoist brother had already made a big name in Bianjing City. During the reign of the late emperor, he was even given the title of 'Dongyuan Tongmiao Master', and the abbot was Shangqing Chuxiang.
The palace is famous all over the world."
"The late emperor showed great kindness to poor people, which will be unforgettable in his life." He seemed to have thought of something and said with some emotion,
"It's a pity that the late emperor died young, but Pindao was helpless. Every time I think of it, I can't help but feel guilty in my heart."
The Song Dynasty had always been kind to Taoist sects, including Zhezong. Although he was not as obsessed with Zhao Ji later, he was still close to him. Among them, Liu Hunkang was the most important. During his reign, he was bestowed with far more honors than Chu Feng said.
Those ones.
Of course, Zhe Zong is not a faint king like Zhao Ji, so he cannot be compared with the latter. However, at this moment, he can indeed be regarded as having a strong connection with the Holy Family.
Hearing the tone of the other party's words, Chu Feng couldn't help but be a little surprised. For some reason, he always felt that there was something in his words, so he whispered:
"All the officials in the Song Dynasty were weak and their heirs were not prosperous. Is there any reason for this?"
"Indeed."
Liu Hunkang did not hide anything, but nodded directly. This was a bit beyond Chu Feng's expectation. It was originally a probing statement, but he did not expect to get a positive answer.
"This matter is a bit complicated, and I won't be able to explain it clearly for a while. In fact, the matter that Pindao wants to solve when he comes to Bianjing this time is related to this." Liu Hunkang said simply.
"So, Chu is somewhat looking forward to it."
Danfeng Gate was not far from the Chu Mansion. It didn't take long to arrive at Danfeng Gate. However, what surprised Chu Feng was that he met Li Qingzhao unexpectedly when he came to the gate.
At this time, the other party was all white, and he was wearing the silver-white fox fur that he had given away before. He had an alluring appearance and a cold and refined temperament. Standing in the cold wind, he looked like a fairy in the snow.
"I've met Brother Shi."
From that day on, the title of the other party was changed, and he was directly addressed as brother. At this time, when he saw Chu Feng and a group of male and female Taoist priests returning, he couldn't help but feel a trace of surprise in his eyes.
"Yes, it looks good on you." Chu Feng praised him sincerely, which immediately made the other party's cheeks turn red, and he was a little afraid to look up.
"Why are you here and you have something to do with me?"
After getting familiar with each other, Chu Feng became more casual in his words, without the formality and restraint.
"No, I just learned to make some snacks today and brought them to Brother Shi to try."
There were many others around him. Li Qingzhao felt shy and couldn't help but answer like a mosquito. Fortunately, it was Chu Feng. Someone with poor hearing would probably have to ask him to say it again.
"You can also make snacks, so you should give it a try. However, there are distinguished guests at home today, but I can't entertain you." Chu Feng apologized slightly, as if he suddenly thought of something, and asked again,
"By the way, does your cook have free time?"
"Brother, is there something wrong?"
"If you have time, you can come over and help me for a few days."
This time there were quite a few Maoshan disciples coming to the mansion as guests, and the cook in the mansion might not be able to handle them all.
"Brother, wait a moment, I will go back and let him come over."
Hearing that he could help, Li Qingzhao suddenly felt happy, bowed to everyone, and then left with Xiaohuan.
"You have a beautiful heart, a radiant face, and an airy temperament. You Taoist fellow Taoist are so lucky to have such a beautiful confidante." Liu Hunkang walked closer, gently stroked his long snow-white beard, and said with admiration. He paused.
After a pause, his tone suddenly changed,
"However, there is something that I don't know whether to say or not?"
"Brother Taoist, if you have something to say, you might as well say it directly."
"Youth is fleeting and beauty grows old quickly. Taoist friends with advanced cultivation should be vigilant."
"Thank you, Brother Dao, for reminding me." Chu Feng smiled, without showing any worry in his expression.
"It's getting late, so I would like to invite you all to come into the mansion and take a quick look at its scenery."
"Sorry for disturbing you."
Seeing that he didn't care, Liu Hunkang said no more, thanked him, and walked towards the mansion with his disciples.
