10: Nature becomes a demon
The declaration of murder should have been a very serious matter. Theoretically, people who hear this declaration should be very scared and nervous.
But in fact, it was completely opposite to what Yutai Mingyao expected. Cheng Li's demeanor was calm, and there was no sign of being shaken, he just nodded slightly and said, "Oh, I know." So, that's it, nothing else?"
Yutai Mingyao was a little surprised. "Isn't the Divine Monarch surprised? Even if he is not surprised, then, is it true that the Divine Monarch does not even have the slightest nervousness?"
Cheng Li smiled: "The girl may not know much about my past. In fact, the people who want my life, not to mention the amount of car fighting, at least make up a Keju team, that is absolutely no problem. So, there are not many girls in Tai, and there are many girls in Taipei. Why should I be too nervous?
In contrast, I am more interested in the teacher of the girl from the Tai Channel. I don't know why if someone cultivates the Dao Fetal Demon, the Zizhu Jingzhai disciple has to kill this person?"
The two crescent-like eyebrows of the Tangtai Ming Yao gathered up slightly, and said, "Since the Divine Monarch is a disciple of the 'Lonely Marquis' from generation to generation, is he completely ignorant of the entanglement between your sect and Jing Zhai?"
Cheng Li said: "The girl also knows how to speak. The master-apprentice relationship between Master Gongshan and me was decided after an interval of several decades. In fact, I've never really spent a day with Master Gongshan. Even though it is rumored that 'Heaven and Earth Yin and Yang Cross Levy Great Compassion', I still don't know much about many of the secrets of the Demon Gate. ”
Yutai Mingyao was even more curious, and said, "Hasn't your sect always called itself the Holy Gate? The word Demon Gate should be quite taboo, right? Why can the Divine Monarch say these two words without changing his face?"
Cheng Li said with a smile: "Since Miss Tantai knows my past, she must also know that I have not only obtained the Dao system of Master Gongshan. There are also the two Shenzhou King and the Sword Saint, who are also my masters. So strictly speaking, I'm not from the Demon Gate, so naturally I won't have any taboos. ”
Yutai Mingyao was silent for a moment, and sighed: "But even so, it is an indisputable fact that the Divine Monarch has cultivated the Dao Fetal Demon. Therefore, although Ming Yao also deeply regretted it, there was still something she had to do. Please also ask for your understanding. ”
Cheng Li couldn't help but feel a little funny. I only thought that this girl "doesn't eat fireworks in the world". But now it seems that the six-character comment should perhaps be put in another way, that is, the so-called "incomprehensible to the world". Otherwise, how can you say that you can ask those who are killed by yourself to be considerate of your own words?
Although there was a slight whisper in his heart, he did not move between his eyebrows. Cheng Li nodded and said, "Let's get down to business." I really don't know about the entanglement between your faction and the Demon Gate. I also asked the girl for advice. ”
Mingyao raised his head and looked at the statue of Guanyin Bodhisattva enshrined on it, and after a long time, he said slowly: "Although the Divine Monarch does not know about Zizhu Jingzhai. But it's still no stranger to the origin of the Demon Gate, right?"
Cheng Li's jaw said, "Not bad." The Demon Gate originated from the hundred schools of thought in the Spring and Autumn Period. Later, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty ordered to 'depose the hundred schools and respect Confucianism alone'. Under the suppression of Confucian orthodoxy, the hundreds of schools of thought had to huddle with each other to keep warm, and a very loose organization was formed. This was the prototype of the Demon Gate.
But the real formation of the Demon Gate originated from a genius in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, who was the first Holy Emperor of the Demon Gate. The Holy Emperor once recorded the genealogy of what he had learned in his life and compiled it into two classics. One is called "Book of Heaven", which contains the Dao Fetal Demon Dafa, as well as the Great Compassion of Heaven and Earth, Yin and Yang. The Holy Emperor himself also became enlightened in this way.
As for the other book called "The Book of Life and Death", it actually only records the various miscellaneous studies of the Holy Emperor. However, because the "Book of Heaven" was so profound, the disciples of the Demon Sect of later generations could not understand it, so they turned to study the "Book of Life and Death".
After more than 1,000 years of changes, "The Book of Life and Death" has been accompanied by thousands of skills. The volume is huge, so it is regarded as the supreme collection of Demon Gate classics. The status came later, and it even surpassed the "Book of Heaven". ”
Yutai Mingyao answered: "What the Divine Monarch said is not bad at all. But in fact, even though the content of "The Book of Life and Death" is complex, it is still not as good as "Book from Heaven" after all. The people in the Demon Gate gave up the "Book of Heaven" and chose the "Book of Life and Death", which is definitely a move to buy and return the pearls, and it is unwise. ”
Cheng Li said: "I would like to hear about it." ”
Tangtai Mingyao said calmly: "Emperor Ming of the Eastern Han Dynasty dreamed of gold at night, and then he raised the heart of seeking the law. After a lot of hardships, I finally invited two great monks to return to the Central Plains with the White Horse Sutra, and established the White Horse Temple to promote Buddhism. This is the source of the flow of Buddhism into Middle-earth.
The ancestor of the Zhai Dynasty was named 'Kunni'. At that time, she naturally had not yet returned to Buddhism. In fact, she studied Confucianism first and Taoism later, and both were very successful. Therefore, at that time, she was known as the most indisputable first person among Confucianism and Taoism.
Despite this, the ancestor still felt that what he had learned was very inadequate. That's why I'm still looking for the Dharma everywhere. I happened to hear about the White Horse Sutra and the eastward spread of Buddhism. So he immediately rushed to the White Horse Temple to listen to the Dharma and seek the Tao. But because of this, he happened to meet the Demon Gate Holy Emperor, who was also curious about Buddhism. ”
Cheng Li was slightly surprised, and said, "There is still such a thing? It seems that even he doesn't know. ”
Tantai Mingyao said lightly: "Back then, because the ancestor and the Holy Emperor studied Buddhism together, they fell in love and became each other's confidants. It is said that the reason why the Dao Fetal Seed Demon Great/Law was able to be established successfully was because of the great ancestor who had also made a lot of efforts.
However, the good times did not last long. With the completion of the Dao Fetal Demon Cultivation, the Holy Emperor gradually gave birth to the idea of taking revenge on Confucianism and making the Demon Gate doctrine orthodox.
However, the ancestors believed that Confucianism was of great benefit to maintaining the unification of the Central Plains. If it is insisted on replacing it with the Demon Gate Doctrine, it will only cause chaos in the world, and the people of the Central Plains will have no more peace and will sink forever in dire straits. Therefore, this is not feasible. ”
Cheng Li smiled, shook his head and said: "The so-called Demon Gate was originally the product of the descendants of the hundreds of schools of thought holding each other together to keep warm. But the sons and hundreds of schools of thought originally insisted on each other and did not give in to each other. A closer study of the Hundred Schools of Thought reveals that many of their ideas are at odds with each other, or even contradictory to each other, and it is impossible to unify them at all.
When the doctrine of a hundred schools of thought is still a school of doctrine, it is forgotten. It doesn't matter if you hold each other together to form a demon gate. But once you get the opportunity to take charge of the country, it's bad. There is an incident that, according to this school of doctrine, should be dealt with in this way. But according to that school of thought, it should be dealt with in that way. So at the end of the day, who should you listen to?
Therefore, the ruling position of Confucianism is not irreplaceable. But it is impossible to be replaced by the Demon Gate Doctrine. Otherwise, it's just making things worse. ”
Yutai Mingyao said: "Yes, that's right. Back then, the ancestor also analyzed the Holy Emperor in detail like this. But the evil emperor has an extreme personality, both self-confidence and persistence, and does not believe in evil, thinking that he must be able to do what others cannot. The Contempt Ancestor and the Holy Emperor each had their own opinions, and the more they talked, the more stiff they became, and finally came to the point of breaking up. ”
Cheng Li sighed: "It's a pity. ”
Yutai Mingyao also said quietly: "Who said it wasn't." ”
The two were relatively silent for a long time. Cheng Li took the lead and said again: "Since you have broken up, you have to use force in the end." But I don't know who will win and who will lose in this battle between the Holy Emperor and Kunni's predecessors?"
Tantai Mingyao said: "The ancestor and the Holy Emperor have similar foundations to each other, and their cultivation is also compatible. The Holy Emperor compiled the "Book of Heaven", and the ancestors made great efforts. And the martial arts of the ancestors also benefited a lot from the "Book of Heaven".
Therefore, they knew each other well, and even though this battle lasted for a long time of seven days and seven nights, they still could not tell the winner in the end. It can only end in a draw. ”
Cheng Li exclaimed: "Not to mention the Dao Fetal Seed Demon, even if it is just a great compassion endowment, it already has the power to overturn the heavens and the earth. Kunni's predecessor was actually able to tie with the Holy Emperor. This cultivation is really admirable. ”
Yutai Mingyao said: "Actually, the Holy Emperor back then had already begun to cultivate Dao Fetal Demons. But it's still far from being truly practiced. Otherwise, it would never be possible for the Ancestor to draw with the Holy Emperor.
Therefore, after this battle, the Ancestor tried to force the Holy Emperor with his words and made him swear a heavy oath. As long as the Holy Emperor has not practiced the Dao Fetal Demon for a day, he will not be able to come out and walk the rivers and lakes for a day. Nor can we begin to subvert Confucian orthodoxy. ”
Cheng Li said: "If the Dao Fetus Demon Cultivation is not successful, then the Holy Emperor can only be tied with Kunni's predecessors. Even if you want to start subverting the orthodoxy of Confucianism, it is naturally impossible to succeed if there is such a laggard.
But if the Dao Fetal Demon is successful, then even if Kunni's predecessor wants to stop it, he is powerless. So this oath, in fact, is the same whether it is established or not. ”
Yutai Mingyao said: "Having said that, with this oath, the two sides can finally reluctantly get together and disperse. After that, his ancestors became nuns, and traveled all over the world, devoting themselves to the integration of the three teachings of Buddhism, Taoism, and Confucianism.
It was not until after middle age that the ancestors established Zizhu Jingzhai in the Putuo Mountain in the South China Sea. And he synthesized what he had learned all his life and recorded it into a volume of "The Sword Sutra on the Other Side", leaving us with this lineage. It wasn't until he was 120 years old that he left his ancestors.
Before his death, the ancestor had left a testament, and all the disciples of Zizhu Jingzhai must take the maintenance of the way of heaven as their own responsibility. The Demon Gate's Dao Fetus Seed Demon is the source of trouble, so if it is found that a Demon Sect disciple has cultivated the Dao Fetus Seed Demon. Then the disciples of Jingzhai must stand up and use the sword in their hands to quell the chaos and eliminate the harm. Even if you are crushed, you will not hesitate to do it. ”
Cheng Li's jaw said: "I see." In other words, your faction sees itself as the last line of defense against the Dao Fetal Demon. It's definitely not going to die with a cultivator of the Dao Fetal Demon Cultivator, right?"
Yutai Mingyao sighed: "Yes, that's right. ”
Cheng Li spread his hands and said, "Isn't that everything understood? There are indeed people in the world who have already cultivated the Dao Fetal Demon." But that's never me. It's my senior brother, the only personal disciple of Master Gongshan, the Demon Saint is terrifying.
So Miss Lantai, if you really want to make trouble with someone, you should also go to Senior Brother Li. Came to me, it was definitely the wrong person. ”
Mingyao's beautiful eyes were as clear as water, staring at Cheng Li without blinking. Through the gaze, the message of blame is conveyed clearly and unmistakably. At the same time, Xiu frowned lightly, and said with a little displeasure: "Shenjun, I treat each other with sincerity everywhere." Why does the Divine Monarch lie and deceive others?"
Cheng Li was stunned, and there was not only a slight smile on the corner of his mouth. Because he clearly grasped that under the peerless and delicate dignified fairy state in front of him, there was actually another lively and charming Mingyao. As long as you find the trick, you can ignite the trigger.
In fact, Cheng Li himself already has a beautiful wife and concubine, although Mingyao is a peerless beauty, but Cheng Li's heart does not have to take her for himself.
But I don't know why, but from the first time I saw Mingyao in Shantai, Cheng Li suddenly bred a strange desire in the deepest part of his heart, that is, he wanted to use the craziest, most fierce, and most domineering way to possess her fiercely, and turn everything she had into his own property.
But if you can't get her, then at least destroy her. Thoroughly, no one will have the slightest chance to get her.
This desire is like a devil, screaming, urging, bewitching, and threatening in Cheng Li's mind all the time. It's just a matter of everything.
Cheng Li finally suppressed this desire. But in the end, it will be difficult to completely stop it. Therefore, no matter how much she smiles, Cheng Li has an extremely strong temptation, so that he unconsciously wants to tease and tease this young girl with the appearance of a fairy.
Cheng Li shook his head and suppressed the distracting thoughts in his heart again. He asked, "Why did the Tantai girl say this? Although your sect has such an ancestor in front of you, even if the Tantai girl really wants to make a move, she may not be able to threaten me." So, if I really cultivated to become a Dao Fetal Demon, why should I deny it? ”
Yutai Mingyao said quietly: "The fact that the Divine Monarch can sit here at this moment is the best proof. It's the same as the Dao Fetal Seed Demon Great/Fa, which will be cultivated into a 'Demon Seed'. The "Sword Sutra on the Other Side" of the contempt school can also be cultivated into a 'sword heart'.
The sword heart can also be called the fairy heart, and it is one with the demon seed. They will be attracted to each other. And they will instinctively have a strong desire to get each other in order to make up for their own shortcomings.
Therefore, between the immortal heart and the demon seed, there is an indescribable mysterious sense. As long as it does not exceed a certain distance, both the fairy heart and the demon seed can sense the existence of the other party. ”
"Hiss~"
Cheng Li gasped and suddenly realized: "So that's the case? No wonder I knew the girl was here...... But ......"
Cheng Li frowned again and muttered, "It's strange, why did I sense the immortal heart of the girl from the Tai Stage? Could it be that I really have a demon seed? But how could I condense into a demon seed? This is simply ...... Be all abroad. ”
From the perspective of Shantai Mingyao, it is not surprising that she will feel that Cheng Li has a demon seed, which is a matter of course. But in Cheng Li's own opinion, he was absolutely surprised.
Whether it is a Dao fetus or a demon, or a great compassion endowment, in the final analysis, it is also the method of a martial artist who cultivates true qi and opens up the route of the eight veins of the Qi Sutra. But Cheng Li is not a martial artist at all. As a robber, there is absolutely no trace of true anger in him.
Moreover, let's not talk about whether Cheng Li can cultivate true qi. What's more critical is that Cheng Li has never read a word of the Dao Fetal Demon from beginning to end.
Except for knowing that there is such an exercise, Cheng Li knows nothing about the specific cultivation method. Isn't this ridiculous, funny, and child's play?
Cheng Li couldn't figure it out, the reason was that he hadn't read the specific text of "Dao Fetus Demon". In fact, the key to cultivating demons in the Dao fetus is not in the physical body, nor in the true qi, but in the spirit. The so-called demon seed is not a substance with substantial existence, it should be said that it is just a spiritual idea that contains unique fluctuations.
On the same day in Xizhen, Cheng Li and the Demon Saint Li fought in horror. Since both of them have cultivated the Great Compassion Fu, and both of them also possess two different substances, Yang and Yin. Therefore, at the height of the battle, under the mutual feeling of qi and machine, there was a fusion of each other in terms of spirit, which was only partial and very short-lived.
But it was such a partial and short-term fusion, Cheng Li's consciousness had clearly sensed the "demon seed" of the Demon Saint, and spontaneously imitated it. It can also be said that it was spontaneous that gave birth to a demon seed belonging to Cheng Li.
In this way, even if Cheng Li has not seen a word of "Dao Fetal Demon", it is equivalent to having exhausted the essence of "Dao Fetal Demon".
It's so mysterious, it's a miracle. Even the Holy Emperor and Kunni back then couldn't imagine that such a thing would happen.
But if you think about it more carefully, it is not difficult to find that there will be such changes, and it is also logical.
Because the vein of the Demon Gate "Tianji Sect" created by the Holy Emperor originally paid special attention to controlling matter with spirit. The spirit is the most important thing, above all else. As for whether the cultivation is true qi or calamity power, it is secondary.
Dao Fetal Seed Demon, if you want to give birth to a demon seed, it is actually not difficult. The difficulty lies in the need to devour the Dao Fetus with the Demon Seed, so that it can be achieved. In the past thousands of years, countless wise people in the Demon Gate have racked their brains and studied countless methods, but they have never been able to make themselves become Dao Fetus, and naturally they can't let the Demon Seed devour Dao Fetus.
It wasn't until the Demon Saint was shocked that he realized the only way to "seek from outside". Find a person to be the furnace ding, and use your own demon seed to devour the furnace ding's dao fetus. At this point, the deadlock was finally broken, and he truly cultivated the Dao Fetal Demon that even the Holy Emperor had failed to cultivate.
As a robber, Cheng Li's body is filled with the purest robbery power. There is no need to do any cultivation, and it is a Dao fetus in itself. And the power of the calamity is endless, and he is never afraid that he will be devoured by the demon seed, which will lead to his own weakness. Therefore, without Cheng Li knowing it, he had already cultivated into a Dao Fetus Demon without knowing it.
As a raider, there would have been a number of raids at regular intervals. The fiercer the battle, the faster and more dangerous the catastrophe becomes. Judging from past experience, Cheng Li has entered the fourth awakening for quite some time. It is not surprising that a new catastrophe could arise at any time.
However, during this period of time, Cheng Li fought against the Demon Saint, killed all the masters of the Blood River, and participated in the game of the Nine Dragons Treasure Book, killing the three strongest masters in the Thirteen Wings of the Desert Realm, except for the "Blue Wolf" Temujin. But the doom is always delayed. Let Cheng Li himself feel strange.
Among them, the mystery is above the "magic seed". It's the endless stream of demon seeds, devouring a lot of calamity to strengthen itself. That's why the catastrophe has been postponed and delayed again and again.
Cheng Li's "Dao Fetal Demon" is obtained by seeking for himself. The Demon Saint's "Dao Fetal Demon" is a fake external request. From this point of view, it should be that Cheng Li's Da/Fa is more authentic.
But on the other hand, the Demon Saint strictly follows the mental method of "Dao Fetus Cultivating Demons" and cultivates. The Dao fetus devoured by the demon seed is also the same martial artist as the Demon Saint. And Cheng Li's demon seed devoured the power of the calamity and grew stronger, and he had already deviated from the original concept of the Holy Emperor. What is it now, no one can say. From this point of view, it is the Demon Saint who is more authentic.
But no matter how mutated it is, Cheng Li's demon seed always has the biggest characteristic of the demon seed, that is, the strong attraction between him and the immortal heart.
Mingyao didn't know the details. So no matter how Cheng Li behaved, he was just covering it up. In the heart of Yutai Mingyao, he couldn't help but feel a little contempt and disdain.
Therefore, Mingyao reined in his alter ego that had appeared before, and said lightly: "Whether it is the Contemptuous Ancestor's genealogy of the 'Sword Sutra on the Other Side', or the Holy Emperor's creation of the 'Dao Fetal Demon'. The two seek the same path, but it is just to pursue the way of heaven. ”
According to the research of the ancestors, if you want to pursue the way of heaven, you must first 'break the last knot of death'. However, using the immortal heart to cooperate with the demon seed is the fastest and most effective convenient method.
But between immortals and demons, there is also a master-slave division. If the immortal heart breaks the demon seed, then even if the cultivator does not die, he will lose all his martial arts for the rest of his life and become a wasted person.
But if the Demon Seed breaks the Immortal Heart, then the Immortal Heart will be controlled by the Demon Seed forever. If the demon seed wants it to live, if it wants to die, it will die, if it is not allowed by the demon seed, the immortal heart is definitely not able to survive, and it is impossible to die. It was the most terrible and cruel execution in the world. ”
Cheng Li exhaled lightly and sighed, "It could be like this." In that case, everything will be understood. But you can rest assured, I have no intention of controlling her. ”
Yutai Mingyao's eyes shot a look of pity. said lightly: "Shenjun has no intention, but Ming Yao has the intention." In any case, the Immortal Heart must not allow the Demon Seed to exist. This is the destiny of heaven, and it cannot be changed by any human force. ”
Cheng Li sat up straight, his eyes brightened, showing an invincible spirit. said: "If the girl doesn't give it a try, she will definitely not give up." In that case, then good, let's do it. ”
"Zheng~"
The sound was still not falling, and the dragon groaned agitated. Mingyao took out an ancient sword from under the offering table, and with an astonishing speed, he pulled the sword out of its sheath and slashed towards Cheng Li's neck. The sword style is completely fancy, but it is clumsy. There was also an innate sword aura that made Cheng Li feel deeply threatened, tightly locking his mind, making him unable to dodge.
This sword shot shows the extraordinary cultivation of Yutai Mingyao in the way of the sword. Among the opponents that Cheng Li has encountered in the past, only the messenger of "On the Spring and Autumn Period of the Sword", Xiao Canghai, nicknamed "The Wonder of Kyushu", can be compared with him.
As for those elders and masters of the Seven Great Sword Sects, compared to Yutai Mingyao, they were just like a three-year-old child who was wielding a wooden stick indiscriminately.
