8: Demon Gate
"I see. The lonely Hou Gongshan Shangqing was the Holy King of the Demon Gate at that time. No wonder...... No wonder ......"
Speaking at this point, Cheng Li couldn't help but sigh slightly. When I was dealing with the Cave Heaven and the Void World in the Dream Realm that day, I felt that the Lonely Hou was different from others. In him, there is a very indescribable evil charm.
Suppose it is said that the King of Shenzhou is the vast ocean, and the Sword Saint is the selfless sun. Then, the lonely Hou must be the moon. From moment to moment, it is unpredictable. There is not only a side as clean as a jade plate, but also a side that is curved like an eyebrow.
But no matter what kind of lonely Hou you see, it will always be just a side of him that he deliberately shows so that you can see it. The real loneliness will never be revealed. Like the back of the moon, no one can see it.
Perhaps, it is precisely because of this special qualification that the "guardian" chooses to show his image as a lonely marquis in front of outsiders, right?
Although Zhuge Taifu is knowledgeable, he can't imagine that there is such a thing as a "dream void world" in the world. It is even more unimaginable that the original dream world can still preserve the memories and consciousness of people who have long passed away for a long time. Even a hundred years later, it is still interacting with future generations.
Therefore, even though he saw Cheng Li sighing, Zhuge Taifu didn't think much about it. He continued: "I said it before. The first generation of the Demon Gate Holy King once had two books. One is the Book of Heaven, and the other is the Book of Life and Death.
This book of heaven is the main study of the Demon Gate Holy King's own cultivation. It is divided into two parts. Part of it is the most mysterious, the most mysterious, and the most dangerous 'jade cultivation' of the Demon Gate. It is said that when you reach the end of your cultivation, you will be able to get a glimpse of the extreme of the Heavenly Dao. ”
Cheng Li frowned and said, "Cultivating Jade Gong? How can jade be grown like a crop? What is the ultimate of the Heavenly Dao?"
Zhuge Taifu shook his head and said, "Don't talk about the old man, even the family teacher doesn't know it." After all, although the family master had dealings with the Demon Gate back then, the Jade Cultivation Gong was mysterious and mysterious, and even many people in the Demon Gate did not know that this exercise existed. As for outsiders, it's impossible to understand what it's all about. On the contrary, another part recorded in the Book of Heaven is more widely known. ”
It is indeed widely known. Because even Cheng Li understands it completely. It's not just the name. And I know more about how to cultivate. Because about this part, it is also very obvious in the memory that Lonely Hou passed on to himself.
Whether it's the lonely marquis, the king of Shenzhou and the sword saint. Their memory and consciousness are like a big box. Everything is in the box. Cheng Li got this box, and he could rummage through the objects stored in it at will. But the box is too big, and the inside is divided into small compartments. There are things that are placed on it and are easy to find. Others are placed at the bottom of the floor, or in small hidden compartments, which are difficult to find. It takes time to tidy up.
But now, what Zhuge Taifu said, the other part recorded in the Book of Heaven belongs to the part that is easy to find. At that moment, Cheng Li sighed softly: "Heaven and Earth Intersection Yin and Yang Great Compassion Fu". It records seven of the most terrifying and evil martial arts in the world. Legend has it that when this book was written, it rained and bloody, and the ghost cried at night, and the person who wrote this book also vomited blood and died when he wrote the last word.
Of course, this legend is also an exaggeration. Since the person who wrote the Great Compassion Fu is the first generation of the Holy King of the Demon Gate, and in addition to the Great Compassion Fu, there is also a jade skill. Then presumably after writing the Great Compassion Fu, the Demon Gate Holy King still lived for a long time. ”
Zhuge Taifu said: "The legendary thing is like this. Not only is it true and false, but it is also a mixture of truth and fiction. And even the real part is often full of exaggerations. Therefore, whether it is true or false, you still need to carefully analyze and verify it yourself. If you rashly listen to the legends, the consequences can definitely be big or small. ”
Cheng Li's jaw said: "That's right." After a pause, he asked, "The two books written by the first Demon Gate Holy King, the Book of Heaven contain the Jade Cultivation and the Great Compassion Fu. So what is recorded in the "Book of Life and Death"?"
This question is not that Cheng Li knowingly asked. Because in the memory of the lonely marquis, this part also belongs to the kind of things that he thinks are not important. So just find a place to put it and count it. It's also troublesome to rummage through this part of the memory. Just ask Zhuge Taifu a few more words.
Zhuge Taifu really knew. He said: "The Book of Life and Death is actually just a record of the miscellaneous studies of the first holy king. However, later the first Holy King accepted six apprentices. These apprentices can't understand the 'jade cultivation skill', and even for the Great Compassion Fu, they can only understand the scales and half the claws. So I turned to the Book of Life and Death,
The first generation of the Holy King was amazingly talented. The apprentices he accepted were naturally not stupid. In fact, the other branches of the Demon Gate originally only inherited the doctrine of the Hundred Schools of Thought, but they did not understand martial arts.
Until the disciples of the first Holy King joined their branches, and according to the teachings of these branches, they combined the realizations they had gained from the Book of Life and Death to create their own exercises. These branches really have the ability to fight against Confucianism, Taoism, and Buddhism. Therefore, these branches are all ancestors of the six disciples of the first Holy King.
The Demon Gate has gone through more than 1,000 years. To this day, although the "Book of Life and Death" is still regarded as the supreme classic of the Demon Gate. But today's "Book of Life and Death", in terms of content, is more than ten times more complicated and vast than more than 1,000 years ago.
Because the people of the Demon Gate in the past generations will write something based on their own experience, wisdom, and insight, and add these parts to become a part of the "Book of Life and Death". Therefore, "The Book of Life and Death" has become a collection of magic gates, and it covers thousands of kinds of skills. On the contrary, "Book from Heaven" has not been mentioned for a long time.
It is precisely because the "Book of Life and Death" is so voluminous, and it is also written by gathering the wisdom of all the branches of the Demon Gate. Therefore, it is also divided into ten volumes, each of which is scattered in the hands of the ten branches. No one can get a glimpse of the full picture of the Book of Life and Death.
Because of this, I don't know when it began, and there is another legend in the Demon Gate. It is said that as long as anyone can collect all ten volumes of the "Book of Life and Death", they will be invincible in the world. Not only is it easy to unify the Demon Gate. Even to defeat the three schools of Confucianism, Taoism and Buddhism and regain the orthodox status, it is effortless. ”
This legend, Cheng Li just searched for the memory of the lonely marquis a little, and immediately found it. There is indeed such a saying, and it seems that there are quite a few people who believe in this legend in the Demon Gate. The momentum is moving, and it is quite noisy.
However, the Lonely Marquis himself did not believe in this legend. Because the branch he belongs to is the descendant of the first Demon Gate Holy King. Therefore, when the Lonely Marquis was in power, he did not ask the other Demon Gate branches to hand over all his volumes of the Book of Life and Death.
Zhuge Taifu said again: "The lonely marquis of the year finally disappeared. It is said that it is also to get a glimpse of the secrets of heaven and man, so I went to find the treasure of glass. Several of his disciples are also outstanding talents in the Demon Sect. Therefore, after the disappearance of the Lonely Marquis, he rebelled and overthrew the Great Qi Dynasty.
But the Demon Gate acts willfully and extremely, and it has long been intolerable to the world. Therefore, in the end, he only overthrew the Great Qi Dynasty, but failed to successfully establish a state and build a country belonging to the Demon Gate. After a group of heroes competed for the deer, the Taizu of this dynasty finally won and successfully established the Great Wei Dynasty. ”
Yu Linling next to him said: "The clues of the glazed treasure appeared three times, the imperial court failed to attack once, and the second time to appease also failed." Before the third time could make a move, the court itself had already overturned. Therefore, Uncle Shi thinks that it is very inappropriate whether it is to suppress or caress it. That's why you propose to use the method of kissing, right?"
Zhuge Taifu said: "Not bad. Not to mention the value of the glazed treasure, just the three of them, the King of Shenzhou, the Sword Saint, and the Lonely Marquis, are already invincible in the world and are peerless masters in the world. And the so-called suppression of the imperial court is certainly inappropriate. But the so-called Fu is also condescending and has an insulting flavor. In the final analysis, I still don't think that it is necessary to give a master like King Shenzhou, a respect suitable for their identity.
But Heqin is different. There is no doubt that marrying the princess of the heavenly family to the lord of the glazed treasure can express the sincerity of the court to the greatest extent. After the harmony, the court and the lord of the glazed treasure, that is a family. One prosper and share each other's prosperity, and one loss and common loss. Bury the hatchet. Wouldn't it be the best of both worlds?"
Cheng Li smiled bitterly and said, "Taifu, you are talking about the truth. But I haven't agreed yet. ”
Zhuge Taifu showed a meaningful smile and said, "Of course the old man knows. Cheng Shao, you have a confidante in Liaodong. And with the White Lady and Xiaoqing, there is also a white-headed appointment. But it doesn't matter. The old man can give the son of heaven and canonize your confidante and the white lady as the wife of the country. Between them and the princess, there is no need to insist on distinguishing who is bigger and who is small. Well, it's better to be a flat wife. In this way, Cheng Shao won't feel embarrassed, right?"
Cheng Lidao: "That's not the problem...... The point is that I have never met this princess who is going to marry. I don't know anything about each other's personalities and hobbies. For that princess, it's a little unfair, right? Do you know if they already have a favorite object? If so, then wouldn't it cause a human tragedy if you suddenly intervene like this?"
Zhuge Taifu smiled: "It turns out that Cheng Shao is worried about this. But there's really no need to worry. Because of this factor, the old man has also considered it and made arrangements. As long as Cheng Shao agrees, then he will be able to marry a beautiful girl, and from then on he will be harmonious and beautiful, and he will only envy the mandarin duck and not the immortal. What's the matter, can Cheng Shao agree?"
Next to him, Yu Linling said again: "In fact, Cheng Shao agreed to marry the Heavenly Family, which can be said to be beneficial and harmless. Didn't you say that in order to fight against the existential ambitions of the Nuwa descendants, in order to fight against the 'ultimate evil', we need to unite all of us?
As long as they form an in-law, then Cheng Shao and the Heavenly Family will naturally stand on the same front. It is also equal to the lord of the glazed treasure, and the Great Wei court is united with each other. It can be described as a journey of thousands of miles, taking the most important step. Isn't it okay for you to give up this important opportunity for unity for the sake of that little concern?"
