Soon, several more figures came here one after another and landed behind Sun Hewu. Including Sun Hewu, there were seven people in total.
The other two assistants did not show up, but were responsible for commanding the spiritual officers and maintaining the formation.
Everyone performs their duties.
Sun Hewu immediately shouted: "Form up!"
As soon as the voice fell, the seven people took off from the ground at the same time, and arranged themselves in the shape of a seven-star Beidou in the sky, which was the "Seven Obsidian Star Array".
The "Seven-Yao Star Array" corresponds to the Seven Stars of the Big Dipper, one is Tianshu, the second is Tianxuan, the third is Tianji, the fourth is Tianquan, the fifth is Yuheng, the sixth is Kaiyang, and the seventh is Yaoguang. The star position is in Taiwei
To the north, the pivot is the sky, the xuan is the earth, the jade is the human, the power is the time, the balance is the sound, the kaiyang is the rhythm, and the Yao light is the star.
However, the "Seven-Yao Star Array" is not arranged in the order of the seven stars in the ordinary sense. The Tianshu position, Tianxuan position, Tianji position, and Tianquan position form the Dou Kui, while the Yuheng position, Kaiyang position, and Fluctuating position form the handle.
.Among the seven stars of the Big Dipper, Tianquan is the dimmest, but it is located where the poles and handles meet, and is the most important. Therefore, it must be held by a person with the highest cultivation level. The handle of the dipper is dominated by Yuheng, and the master is the master.
Take responsibility for the next highest person.
At this time, Sun Hewu was occupying the position of Tianquan and Ning Lingyun was occupying the position of Yuheng.
Zhang Wuhen also rose to prominence.
At the same time, the "Seven Luminous Star Formation" composed of seven people stirred with a bang, and the handle of the bucket pointed at Zhang Wuhen, driving the vitality of the surrounding heaven and earth, and quickly gathered around the seven people in the formation. In the blink of an eye, the situation changed, and the stars in the sky
The purple energy seemed to be smashed into pieces by a cutting knife, gathering and dispersing indefinitely. Starlight fell from the gaps, like pillars connecting the sky and the earth, no more, no less, exactly seven.
Then there were strong winds, forming one cyclone after another, gradually converging in one place, forming tornado pillars one after another, drawing water from the lake and connecting to the sky. In this way, seven huge tornadoes descended on the world, reflecting the seven pillars of light.
Zhang Wuhen was among them, her crane cloak rustling in the strong wind. She raised her right hand to make a fist, and saw a bit of moonlight suddenly light up in her fist, and then the light became stronger, through the flesh and blood of her palm, covering her whole body.
People illuminate.
It was as if she was holding a bright moon in her hands.
At this moment, Yao Pei, who had been silent and thoughtful, suddenly said: "I probably understand."
"What do you understand?" Qi Xuansu asked immediately.
Yao Pei looked at the eight people fighting in the air and said: "The Zhang family left this fairy heir and raised him up. However, this fairy heir is unknown. He is neither the chief master nor the deputy master.
, probably because of various reasons, he was unable to live up to the high expectations of Master Yan Da and lived his life in an ordinary way. However, the Earth Master once said that Taiping Taoism has a close relationship with the 'Tianting', and Quanzhen Taoism has many contacts with Qingpinghui.
And Zhengyiyi has a cooperative relationship with Ziguangshe
Tie."
Qi Xuansu also remembered.
After the catastrophe of Jinling Mansion and before coming to Wanxiang Dao Palace, he and Zhang Yuelu had a conversation about this aspect.
Zhang Yuelu made it very clear at that time that among the three Taoism, Quanzhen Tao was the largest, but there were too many internal factions to integrate into one, so it was overwhelmed by Taiping Tao. But Taiping Tao also had self-awareness, and they had no self-knowledge.
It is large enough to stabilize the other two Taoism, so the imperial court is brought in. Since Taiping Tao can raise a "Heavenly Court", Quanzhen Tao, which is larger than Taiping Tao, can also raise a Qingpinghui and the Three Taoists.
If both of them are not clean, then Zhengyi, which is a tripartite of Taiping Tao and Quanzhen Tao, will never be innocent.
Zhang Yuelu did not give a direct answer at the time, saying that of course there was a corresponding secret association in Zhengyi Yitong, but it could not be said to be subordinates, it could only be said to be allies. Zhang Yuelu did not say which secret association it was, and just let Qi Xuansu guess by himself.
Qi Xuansu felt that Qibaofang and the Eight Tribes were the most suspicious, but the Eight Tribes were obviously more closely related to Quanzhen Taoism, which had presided over the creation project, so he guessed that it was Qibaofang, but unfortunately he was not right.
Now it seems that it exactly corresponds to Yao Pei's statement.
No wonder Zhang Yuelu didn't want to speak out. She probably didn't agree with the matter very much. But she had no choice but to speak lightly and it wouldn't change anything.
This involves a problem. There are also differences between secret societies. Secret societies such as "Tianting", Qingpinghui, Qibaofang, Babuzhong, and "Inn" do not have Immortal Immortals sitting in charge, so they cannot compete with the Taoist sects head-on.
To survive by relying on the Taoist sect, the relationship with the Taoist sect is that there is me in you and you in me. It is within the tolerance of the Taoist sect and is of a lighter nature. However, the three secret societies of Lingshan Witch Cult, Zhiming Cult, and Ziguang Society are different.
There are immortal immortals sitting in charge, and they have the strength to compete with Taoism to a certain extent, and they are of a more vicious nature.
It is not surprising that "Tianting" and Qingping Society are attached to Taiping Tao and Quanzhen Tao respectively, but it is very strange for Zhengyi to form an alliance with Ziguang Society.
Now everything is clear. It turns out that there is still this kind of relationship. If they are not close to each other, the husband and wife may turn against each other. There is also some kind of hidden hostile and competitive relationship between father and son, but the relationship between mother and son has always been stable.
Qi Xuansu asked: "Won't the other two groups object?"
Yao Pei slowly explained: "I asked the Earth Master the same thing at the time, and the Earth Master said that he really had no objection. As for the reason, I can make an analogy. Before the Wei Dynasty, the imperial court had always been a system of three provinces and six ministries, and the three provinces were responsible to the emperor.
,
Ruled over the six tribes. After the Wei Dynasty, the three provinces were abolished and the emperor personally took charge of the six tribes. The same is true for our Taoist sect. In the earliest times, the three Taoists jointly assisted the chief master to lead the Taoist sect, so the leader of the three Taoists was the deputy chief master, the great master."
"But later, Xuan Sheng decided to reform Taoism and established Jiutang to gradually replace Three Taoism. In essence, the Wei Dynasty abolished the three provinces and took charge of the six ministries and strengthened the centralization of power. However, the process of reform was later interrupted by Buddhism and became Nine Halls.
The Tang Dynasty has replaced most of the authority of the Three Dao, but the embarrassing situation of the three deputy masters representing the Three Daos still exists. The later masters no longer have the huge prestige of Xuansheng, so naturally they cannot change it and can only maintain it.
."
"Before the subdivision of Jiutang, the authority of the three paths was very general, which can be summarized in six words: the human world, creation, ghosts and gods. That is, the Taiping Dao is in charge of the affairs of the human world, the Quanzhen Dao is in charge of the affairs of creation, and the Zhengyi Dao is in charge of the ghosts and gods.
Let’s not talk about the other two paths for the time being. I will only talk about the ghosts and gods that are under the control of the Zhengyi Path, mainly targeting the ancient immortals and the secret associations they established.”
"You should have heard about the True Lord Taiyin's surrender to the Taoist sect, and this matter was facilitated by Yan Feiqing, the leader of the Zhengyi Dao at that time. At that time, although Yan Feiqing had already succeeded Zhang Luanshan as the Zhengyi Da Zhenren with the support of Xuan Sheng, but
The voice of opposition has always been loud, and Yan Feiqing's position is far less stable than that of Donghuang, who succeeded Mrs. Xuansheng as the Great Master of Taiping Dao. However, Yan Feiqing relied on such great achievements to overwhelm all the voices of opposition, completely consolidate his position, and become
The only heavenly master with a different surname."
"That's why the great master Yan Feiqing advocated keeping this child. He wanted to recreate the old story of recruiting Taiyin Zhenjun through the connection between mother and son. At worst, it could also divide the Lingshan Witch Sect, Zhiming Sect, and Ziguang Society.
Three alliances. Before that, there were actually four alliances including the Xuanyin Sect. The leader of the Xuanyin Sect was True Lord Taiyin. As True Lord Taiyin surrendered to the Taoist sect, the Xuanyin sect also became a part of the Taoist sect.
Some people are classified into the lineage of the Grand Master."
"Because of the precedent of True Lord Taiyin and the support of Madam Xuan Sheng, even Donghuang could hardly deny the feasibility of True Lord Yan Da's plan. So on this point, the three Taoists finally reached a consensus and acquiesced to Zhengyi and Ziguang
Contact the company.”
When Qi Xuansu heard this, he couldn't help but sigh at the deep thoughts of the Taoist ancestors. On the surface, "What's wrong with the children?" seems to be just a woman's kindness, but also seems to be superstitious and unpredictable God's will. It seems that these ancestors are all just talking.
As a pragmatic person, if you really study carefully, you will realize that these Taoist ancestors are people with far-reaching plans. This is how Taoism becomes the master of the world.
Yao Pei continued: "It has to be said that although Yan Daren's plan was not fully completed, it failed to pass this person's plan.
The Son of the Immortal recruited True Lord Ziguang, but it was also very effective. Over the years, Ziguang Society has rarely caused trouble with the Taoist sect in the open. It is far less crazy than Lingshan Witch Cult and Zhiming Cult. It is just the relationship between Zhengyi and Ziguang Society.
It has also become more subtle, and it is no longer the relationship between recruiting and being recruited, especially after the three disputes intensified, it has become even more subtle."
Qi Xuansu said softly: "Respect yourself when raising bandits?"
"It's not that simple." Yao Pei said noncommittally, "We are not going to discuss the specific relationship between Ziguang Society and Zhengyi. I have been thinking just now that after the death of the immortal son of the 'Shi' generation, the Zhang family relied on
Why continue to maintain the relationship between Zhengyiyi and Ziguang Society, or to put it more bluntly, why maintain the relationship between the Zhang family and True Lord Ziguang?"
Qi Xuansu was not a fool, but he only knew too little information, so he had too much confusion. At this time, Yao Pei gave enough information, and he immediately had the answer: "Of course he is the descendant of the son of the immortal, and also
He is the grandson of True Lord Ziguang."
"That's right. Just now Zhang Wuhen said personally that the name of Heavenly Master was chosen by Master Yan himself. If you fight too much, you will lose your life, and the way of heaven will warn you that it will be full. This is very meaningful. In fact, the meaning of 'no life' is two
There is another explanation for the word: No one has a hundred-year life, but he always has a thousand-year worry. If we look at it separately, who does not have a hundred-year life? Who is the thousand-year worry of Taoism?" Yao Pei said, "So I have a guess, then
The son of an immortal also left behind a pair of children."
Qi Xuansu said in shock: "You mean that the Heavenly Master is actually the grandson of True Lord Ziguang, and Zhang Wuhen is the sister of the Heavenly Master, the granddaughter of True Lord Ziguang, and Zhang Guyan, who sacrificed his life to save his mother,
Isn’t he the great-grandson of True Lord Ziguang?”
Yao Pei said: "That's right! From this point of view, it was indeed an accident for True Lord Ziguang to give birth to an heir. I'm afraid she didn't even expect it, but she did it intentionally not to take away the heir. She didn't just keep the heir.
The next way out is as simple as that."
"Since Zhengyiyi has such a tacit understanding with Ziguang Society, then why does Ziguang Society want to cause trouble in Wanxiang Taoist Palace?" Qi Xuansu asked.
"When Qi Jianyuan came to me, I felt strange, how could the Ziguang Society act like this? This is difficult for the heavenly masters to do, and it is not like their style of behavior. Now I understand, this is not what Zhenjun Ziguang meant at all.
, but Zhang Guyan made his own decision." Yao Pei looked at Xingye Lake, "As for Zhang Guyan's motives, it is already very clear. He wanted to save his mother Zhang Wuhen, and we were all deceived by him."
Qi Xuansu thought about it carefully and found that it was indeed the case.
The clear proof is that it was not True Lord Ziguang who came to the Wanxiang Dao Palace, but Zhang Wuhen who appeared in the Wanxiang Dao Palace. There is a huge difference between the two.
