Chapter 157 Gongye Zodiac End Law Tribulation
The third watch is here, brothers, give some monthly pass talisman blessings, let's throw off our arms and move forward!
—————————————————————————— Zhong Yuan has only known one Heavenly Immortal so far, and that is the old man of withered bamboo, who is one of the six monsters in the universe.
However, the old man withered bamboo and Wei Bagong are close friends, although they have withstood the previous experience, they will not help Wei Bagong seek revenge against the red-haired ancestor, but if you want him to come forward to help mediate the grievances between Wei Bagong and the red-haired ancestor, don't even think about it.
Therefore, Zhong Yuan didn't expect to open a breakthrough from him at all, although this old guy had friendships with many immortals. Because, if one is not good, let its temper come up, and overturn the original agreement, it will be even more than worth the loss.
Heavenly immortals have their own bearing, but just trying to take advantage of others is definitely looking for death. Therefore, Zhong Yuan was ready to rely on his own means to find a few heavenly immortals to help.
The first thing that came to his mind was the giant of the Western Demon Sect in the past, the uncle of the Poison Dragon Venerable, Gongye Huang, a hundred bird Taoist.
Gongye Huang, a hundred bird Taoists, became a Buddha because of his senior brother's old demon who played a thought and became a Buddha, so he broke out of the door and entered the side door. Because of this, he made a great wish, not to take the road of immortals and Buddhas, but to become enlightened by the side door. For this reason, he also rejected the immortal family seal given by Changmei Zhenren and Bliss Zhenren.
Gongye Huang was born with a magical power, that is, he is proficient in the language of birds in the world, and few people know it, and his Taoist name also comes from this. In order to be able to find the Heavenly Book that would help him attain enlightenment, he began to travel the world. Finally, when the emperor lived up to his painstaking efforts, when he arrived at Luojia Mountain, he heard the chirping of fairy birds and white parrots, and learned that there was a Taoist book hidden in the jade box of the coral reef on the nearby seabed, which could help people escape from the mortal world.
Therefore, Gongye Huang spent a lot of effort to drive away the poisonous dragon that guarded it, took this heavenly book away, and brought it back to the Black Valley near the Zaohua Cliff in Xiuyue Ridge in Yunnan Province to cultivate.
Perhaps, Gongye Huang's temperament has a stubbornness that is not bending, although this book of heaven tells a smooth road, but he did not follow the above to renovate, but only to compare and understand, is bound to be unique, out of his own way. Because of this, his cultivation path was extremely difficult, and in the end, he went mad for this, and his body and the stone under the seat became one, and it was difficult to move a bit.
Fortunately, the Yuan Shen was not injured and could continue to cultivate. At this time, Gongye Huang still did not change his original intention and continued to cultivate according to his own ideas. He does have the wisdom of the heavens, and he actually broke a path, super-tribulation restoration, and achieved the mana of the immortals, and the primordial gods can come out of the shell at will and travel the universe.
The reason why Gongye Huang is still stranded in the world is because the dead body has not yet been restored, and once it is restored, and then he can accumulate enough merit to ascend immediately. Moreover, after the ascension, although it was far from being comparable to those golden immortals, it was by no means comparable to those ordinary heavenly immortals.
Gongye Huang's body has been ossified into stone for too long, even with his current Dao power, without the help of external forces, he will have to work hard for decades. However, with the help of the thousand-year-old ice silkworm, it will not take more than a month to fully recover.
In his memory, Gongye Huang has also been looking for the ice silkworm, and finally found it in Mangcang Mountain. However, now, the Mangcang Mountain Ice Silkworm has been taken away by him in advance, and Gongye Huang is naturally impossible to find. Zhong Yuan planned to use this ice silkworm to form a friendship with Gongye Huang and ask him to come forward.
The success rate of this is very high for Zhong Yuan. It can be seen from what Gongye Huang did that he has a strong dissatisfaction with Orthodoxy, no, it cannot be said that he is dissatisfied, it should be said that he is disdainful.
Xiuyueling Zaohua Cliff, located in the edge of southern Xinjiang, although it is not a famous mountain, the vitality of heaven and earth is not too good, but there are no poisonous insects and miasma, for the scattered immortals, it is a good place for self-cultivation and leisure.
After Zhong Yuan arrived, he found that the scenery here was more beautiful than he imagined in his heart, and it could be called a beautiful place.
The cliffs are full of towering jujube trees, although the weather has begun to bleak at this time, but the golden flowers on the mountain are still in full bloom, lined with many unknown red and purple wildflowers growing on the rocks, as if the whole mountain is covered with five-color splendor, gorgeous and dazzling.
In addition, there is a flowing spring and a waterfall, and there is a clear stream below, and the sound of the spring and the waterfall are loud, and the longitudinal roar is loud, and the symphony is complicated. In the depths of the thick shade, when I heard the sound of birds, I occasionally fluttered, and the golden and young fell one after another, reflecting the sun. It is really a beautiful mountain and clear water, the scenery is strange, compared with the wonders that Zhong Yuan saw everywhere, there is a kind of humor.
Here, there is a pair of disciples of the Kunlun faction who were expelled from the door wall for violating the precepts, Chichengzi and Yin Sutang. The two of them are neither competitive people, nor do they have the ambition to achieve the immortals, so they are willing to be a pair of loose people here. Although there is no future to speak of, the fairy couple is also enviable.
Both of them are just scattered immortal cultivators, and with the temperament of the two of them, Zhong Yuan did not disturb them and invited them to go out of the mountain to join Hongmu Ridge. Based on this, after finding the nameless black valley, he left immediately.
This Black Valley, but the style is very different from the Zaohua Cliff. The ancient trees outside are gloomy, and there is no day on the top, and no people on the bottom. The accumulated bird droppings, eroded by the wind and the sun, become floating sand, several feet deep, very sinister. Although it has not yet reached the point where it is difficult to float goose feathers in weak water, it is also unfortunate for birds and beasts to step on it. Zhong Yuan couldn't figure out how the peerless masters of the Gongye Huang generation would choose this place to practice retreat. In the end, it can only be attributed to the quirks of the masters.
When he came to the outside of the Black Valley, Zhong Yuan didn't go in, and bundled his sound into a line and sent it in. "Zhong Yuan, the head of the Poor Road Redwood Ridge, has come to meet the seniors of Gongye, and I hope to show up?"
In the middle of the Black Valley.
Gongye Huang is sitting upright on a boulder and running the exercises, warming the flesh shell. He had spent his efforts looking for ice silkworms for many years, but he found nothing, so he stopped this thought early, and only worked hard again, so he had not been out of the valley for more than ten years. Suddenly, when I heard this voice, I was also stunned.
"Isn't the Hongmu Ridge Sect red-haired? When did you get this Zhong Yuan? Could it be that the red-haired person was also robbed? The Demon Sect and the side door are really withering day by day!"
With his mind spinning in his heart, the operation of Gongye Huang Gongfa also stopped. Back then, he had met the red-haired ancestor many times, and he was very respectful to him, so his impression of Hongmuling was still very good. After a little thought, the Yuan Shen turned into a black light and rushed out of the body, and then, with a finger of his hand, the black mist that filled the valley kept surging, cracking to both sides, and a passage came out.
Zhong Yuan was outside, and suddenly saw this abnormal movement, where did he not know that Gongye Huang had already allowed it? At that moment, after making a salute in the sky, he immediately stepped into the void and walked in.
Entering the valley, I saw a middle-aged Taoist who was shaped like dry bones, his face was as black as lacquer, and he was dressed in black standing on a boulder. On the side, there is a stone statue sitting cross-legged, which is quite handsome and chic.
Seeing this, where did Zhong Yuan not know the situation? At that time, he bowed deeply and hugged his fists as a salute, "Zhong Yuan greets Gongye seniors!"
"I don't need so many secular rites here!" Gongye Huang Yuanshen waved his hand casually and said, "When did you become the head of Hongmuling?
When Zhong Yuan heard this, he was also stunned in his heart, but after thinking about it, he also understood. It must be his own sudden rise that has caused many things to deviate, Gongye Huang has not been out of the mountains to patrol in recent years, so he does not know the current situation changes. At the moment, I briefly talked to Gongye Huang about the current situation.
After listening, Gongye Huang sighed, "I didn't expect that in the mountains for more than ten years, the world has changed greatly. It seems that this heaven and earth tribulation is a good thing, but the side gate and the demon sect also have a chance to rise. I just don't know if my nephew can seize this opportunity!"
Zhong Yuan naturally understood that Gongye Huang was talking about the Venerable Poison Dragon. Although Gongye Huang has already broken out of the sect, the origin is still there after all, but Zhong Yuan is not good at saying anything.
After sighing, Gongye Huang asked directly, "Since the development of Hongmuling is so vigorous, why did you come to see me?"
Zhong Yuan saw that Gongye Huang's attitude was so good, and his heart moved inexplicably, but he said directly, "Gongye's predecessors must have heard of some old things about Senior Brother Gongye's past. Back then, the red-haired senior brother had a thought, and the tired Wei Bagong senior turned to robbery. Now, Wei Bagong's reincarnated body was accepted by the Emei faction.
I'm afraid that it won't be long before I will use this as a food feed to attack the red-haired senior brother and Hongmuling! If this is all there is, there is no need to trouble the seniors of Gongye, but Emei has been in the general trend for thousands of years, and its thoughts can be said to be known to the world! I am worried that the Emei faction will take this opportunity to destroy the foundation of my Hongmuling. Therefore, I came here this time, but I hope that the seniors will come forward at that time to help mediate one or two, so that the Emei faction will not dare to use the topic to play and wantonly implicate!"
The reason why Zhong Yuan didn't mention the thousand-year-old ice silkworm first, was to get a glimpse of some clues of Gongye Huangzi's nature, for fear that he would think that he was here to trade, but he would be unhappy, which was not conducive to success!
"Are you sure Emei has this in mind?" Gongye Huang suddenly turned pale and asked solemnly.
It turned out that Gongye Huang had always had doubts in his heart about his senior brother Qili Old Demon suddenly turning from a demon to a Buddha and ascending to death, after all, his temperament was transformed too quickly. Although there has always been a legend in the world of an epiphany and a rise to the ground, no specific examples can be found, so Gongye Huang scoffs at this. But he suspected that this was done by people in Buddhism.
And the instructor is undoubtedly the Emei faction. The reason is very simple, the only one who was able to keep pace with the Emei faction and compete for the world's glory was the Western Demon Sect of the old devil! It is precisely because of this that he refused to accept the gift of Changmei Zhenren, and also made a great wish, vowing to preach the Tao through the side door.
However, this kind of thing is pure speculation, the prestige of Changmei Zhenren has reached the peak, and it can be said that the brilliance on his body is enough to shine all over the world, without the slightest flaw, so he only has doubts in his heart, and he has never gone to trouble the Emei faction. Now that I heard Zhong Yuan say this, the original doubts can almost be determined.
There is no such thing as absolute perfection in people, and the same is true for immortals!
Although Zhong Yuan didn't know the reason, at this moment, he didn't hesitate at all, nodded, and replied, "Sure! To put it mildly, if it weren't for my reputation in Redwood Ridge, I'm afraid it would be more than that, and it would be the end of the whole family!"
"This killing and robbery is indeed immeasurable! According to what you said, the Emei faction is using the ancient method of destroying the robbery to stop the killing!" After Gongye Huang heard this, a sneer appeared on his face, "However, they want to use the decline of the entire monk world to win the glory of the Emei faction family, and the abacus is inevitably too loud!"
Don't worry, I'll help you with this Hongmu Ridge!"
"Thank you Gongye seniors, juniors are grateful!" Zhong Yuan's face was overjoyed, and he hurriedly saluted and thanked him. Then, he opened his mouth and asked, "Although my senior brother and I also know that the murder is about to start now, we are not clear about the specific situation of this murder, I don't know, can the predecessors of Gongye explain a thing or two?"
"In this calamity, I also realized it after cultivating the Yuan Shen Dacheng and cultivating the Heavenly Immortal Law Body, and I comprehended the heaven and earth. You don't know, but it's normal!" Gongye Huang did not refuse, and said directly, "This killing and robbery is called the Tribulation of the End of the Law! The Tribulation of the End of the Law is named because of the imminent arrival of the era of the End of the Law. The legend of the end of the Dharma era has been circulating since ancient times, you must know it!"
When Zhong Yuan heard this, he nodded and said, "The vitality has changed greatly, and there are no monks in the world!"
"That's good!" Gongye Huang nodded and sighed, "Actually, this is also caused by our monks themselves, after all, these vitality are absorbed and consumed by us!"
Then, he continued, "However, there is no endless path to heaven, and there is still a glimmer of life left in the heavens! That is, in this tribulation, the dead monks reach a certain level, and after feeding back to this heaven and earth, when the vitality changes greatly, they will transfer to all the immortal mansions and small worlds in the world, so as to continue the vitality of these places for thousands of years. ”
Hearing this, Zhong Yuan suddenly came to his senses, and the four disciples of the Emei faction in his memory seized the Immortal Mansion, not simply to expand the power of the Emei faction, but to plunder the resources that they would rely on for survival in the future and pave the way for the future disciples of the Emei faction.
"In this way, if the monks who can't hide in the Immortal Mansion before the end of the Dharma era comes, they will have to wait for death!" Zhong Yuan asked.
"I don't know everything about this," Gongye Huang shook his head and said, "However, according to my expectations, I'm afraid I won't even have a chance to die!"
"In this way, the Emei faction even counts other orthodox churches!" It turned out that in Zhong Yuan's memory, few of those orthodox people who followed the Emei faction owned the Immortal Mansion. "It's really ruthless! It's really calculating! When the end of the law comes, only the Emei family of monks remains, this is the real meaning of Daxing!
It's no wonder that many great powers have transferred their disciples to Emei before they ascended, obviously seeing that the Emei faction has been calculating for more than a thousand years, and it is already unstoppable!
But I really don't believe in this evil!"
