Chapter Eighty-Four: The Demon Gate!

At this moment, Chen Xiang's eyes suddenly emitted light, and in an instant, a dense light network of the entire room was formed, even denser than Xi Ying's Purple Qi Tianluo network, and much more scientific and reasonable, and then he stroked Xi Ying's Purple Qi Tianluo fiercely, and controlled the whole scene at once, compared to Xi Ying's crazy demon dancing for nearly half an hour before arranging the network, it was simply incomparable.

Seeing this scene, Xi Ying's face was already full of sweat with fright, and his eyes trembled in panic, and he fell to the ground softly, kneeling on the ground and praying anxiously: "Master National Teacher!" Master of the National Teacher! Please don't kill me! I still have a lot of uses! Don't kill me! I beg you! ”

Chen Xiang smiled coldly and said, "What other use do you have?" Can you be faithful to me with all your heart? At the same time, he exuded a powerful aura pressure, and directly engraved his words deeply into Xi Ying's heart, making Xi Ying completely collapse even his psychological defense line at this panicked time, directly controlling his soul.

Xi Ying immediately knelt on the ground and said tremblingly: "The slave swears to serve the master wholeheartedly!" ”

Chen Xiang sneered and said, "The death penalty can be avoided, but the living crime is unforgivable!" Since you said so, then I'll open the net and leave you a way out! Saying that, the golden network he controlled was violently entangled, entangled all of Xi Ying's purple qi Tianluo, and then pulled it violently, and actually pulled out all the beads of Xi Ying's two eyes alive!

Xi Ying screamed miserably, and fell to the ground without any resistance, while trembling with fear and pain. His two eyes were suspended in mid-air, and at the same time, An Long and Rong Fengxiang were very shocked, this young man's skills were so profound, even much stronger than Xi Ying. Although this powerful Purple Qi Tianluo's kung fu looks very different from Xi Ying's original, it can also be seen that Chen Xiang's golden threads are even more powerful! But the difference in power is so great, but it also surprises everyone! The imitation version is even more powerful than the original! How can this be easily accepted?!

Such a cruel method shocked both An Long and Rong Fengxiang. But I didn't feel too unacceptable, after all, they were all from the Demon Gate, not only had they seen a lot of this kind of occasion, but they had even done even more cruel things than this.

After abolishing Xi Ying's eyes, Chen Xiang first took advantage of the freshness to wrap Xi Ying's eyes in mercury that had been radiated by the Evil Emperor Relic for decades, and then completely solidified them with special runes, turning them into two special magic weapons, on which there were countless purple qi Tianluo filaments entangled, half alive and half extinguished. The purple threads shook wildly like the tentacles of insects.

After picking out Xi Ying's two eye beads, Chen Xiang felt that he was actually wrong to blame Xi Ying, because these purple filaments are not only a means of attack, but also a sensory organ, they can not only "see", but even "touch" and "hear", just like a weakened sensory organ.

After feeling this, Chen Xiang said lightly: "Xi Ying." You should still be able to see something, right? ”

Xi Ying knelt on the ground, having basically regained his composure, still breathing, but after hearing Chen Xiang's words. Raising his head and "looking" carefully, there were still dozens of remnants of Purple Qi Tianluo in his eye sockets, remaining on the remaining optic nerves that he had not completely stripped off, so that he could still "see" something more or less. And after no longer relying on the eyes, although the eyesight became extremely poor, it expanded the field of vision to a new level.

"Slave maid...... You can still see something......" Xi Ying shrank and knelt on the ground. I didn't dare to raise my head too much.

Chen Xiang nodded and said, "If you have to work hard to cultivate again, it is estimated that you will be able to cultivate your vision again, and if you can be absolutely loyal to me in the end, I may be able to return these eyes to you." Since you're here, I'm going to arrange a job for you. Hou Xibai of Luoyang City is too young, and he may not understand the insidious aspects between the rivers and lakes and the imperial court, or there are some unexpected shortcomings, I want you to be Hou Xibai's assistant, solve some dark side problems for him, and ensure the stability of Luoyang City, are you willing? ”

Where else does Xi Ying disagree? Immediately kowtowed: "I am willing, I am willing!" ”

Chen Xiang nodded and said, "It's good that you think so, cultivate carefully, I believe that your Purple Qi Tianluo ability will go further." ”

Saying that, Chen Xiang looked at An Long and Rong Fengxiang again, An Long's face was already flushed with excitement at the moment, as if he could see that Chen Xiang, the national teacher, was also a strange thing! However, Rong Fengxiang's face was a little pale, as if he had thought of something terrifying, and when he looked at Chen Xiang, his face was full of vigilance.

"President An, President Rong, if you two defect to me, I naturally can't treat you badly. I am going to establish an intelligence network all over the empire, President Rong, you are from Luoyang, and you are more familiar with the land in the north, and I am ready to appoint you as the captain of the northern intelligence, responsible for intelligence spying on the north, especially several rebels and Huns. "Where does Rong Fengxiang dare to say no words at this moment? The blood in front of him, Xi Ying, who was still trembling, was right in front of him, and he had to weigh the weight of his head!

An Long looked at Chen Xiang with great interest, and asked a little like talking about business: "Master Guoshi, do you have any arrangements for me?" ”

Chen Xiang smiled and said, "Yes, the intelligence network in the south depends on President An, and President An, I also hope that you can vigorously cooperate with Song Valve to enhance the exploration of the Nanyang countries, as well as the spy understanding of the Taixi countries, which is also necessary." ”

An Long was taken aback and said, "Master Guoshi, you actually think so far!" Thinking about Tessie! What a visionary! ”

Chen Xiang nodded lightly and said, "Just doing business within the empire, where is there so much money to make?" What's more, Nanyang and Taixi also have a lot of rare treasures, if they are sold back to the empire, it will be even more profitable, and the Song Valve has ships that can carry out offshore voyages, and you can work together to use all the financial and material resources of the south. ”

An Long raised his eyebrows, and couldn't help but glance at Rong Fengxiang, who seemed to have a slight hint of pride, and a little reserved, and said: "The national teacher is really wise!" However, the people of Song Valve didn't see it, so I don't know if they will agree? ”

Chen Xiang smiled. said: "This time back to Chang'an City, the imperial court summoned the talents of the whole empire to hold the imperial examination conference, I believe that the Song valve in the south will definitely send a powerful disciple to come and ask for an identity, and at that time, you can talk to the people of the Song valve." ”

In fact, after Chen Xiang revealed his identity in front of the Song Valve people and called himself the prince of the Chen Dynasty, the Song Valve had actually decided to fully support him. After the Jianghuai army was recruited, it was fully equipped, and the 500,000 troops of the Sui Dynasty set camp and went north. The farewell of these things was also possible because of the strong support of the Song Valve, and as compensation, the monopoly right of salt and iron in Jiangnan has been opened to the Song Valve.

He also provided a new identity for the Song Dynasty to collect information from the south and overseas in the South for the imperial court, and after having these identities, their confidence in doing business was even harder.

After arranging An Long, Rong Fengxiang and Xi Ying, only Shi Zhixuan and Chen Xiang were left in the small pavilion.

Shi Zhixuan said with some sighs: "I originally thought that the National Teacher's statement that he would reuse the disciples of the Demon Sect was just a political gesture. I didn't expect that the National Teacher really wanted to reuse the disciples of the Demon Sect...... It's unexpected. ”

Chen Xiang smiled and said, "The reason why the Demon Gate is the Demon Gate is just the slander of people who think they are decent. The history of the Demon Gate, I'm afraid Master Pei is more familiar than me, and I only know a thing or two. Why don't you tell me about it? ”

When Shi Zhixuan heard Chen Xiang's request, his eyes flashed, as if he had thought of something, and then his eyes became distant again. began to talk eloquently:

After the Western Han Dynasty "overthrew the hundred schools of thought and respected Confucianism alone", the hundreds of schools of thought that were suppressed by Confucian orthodoxy began to organically combine. With Taoism as the backbone, primitive Taoism began to take shape, including miscellaneous ink, medicine, witchcraft, and magic. The formation process of the Demon Gate is similar to that of Taoism, so there are many miscellaneous and intersecting places between the two at the beginning of its establishment. The Tao is divided into yin and yang, and people have life and death. The Tao and the Demon are both based on the Dao, but the emphasis is different. Lao Tzu has a saying that "heaven and earth are unkind to all things as dogs", and there are many such cold-eyed words in "Lao Tzu", which shows that Taoism has benevolence and unkindness, affection and ruthlessness. The Taoist idea of unkindness and ruthlessness was inherited and carried forward by the Demon Gate.

In "Zhuangzi" and "Liezi", there are records of Yang Zhu studying in Laozi, which also shows that the Demon Gate has a deep relationship with Taoism.

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Taoism and the Demon Gate arose. Zhang Jiao's rebellion and vain attempt to seize the world's Taoist classic "Taiping Qingling Book" has a huge and complex content, including both Taoist Xuanmen authenticity and many side doors. This can also prove that the Tao and the devil are of the same origin. According to my speculation, the "Heavenly Demon Policy" should have been written in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, that is, after the introduction of Buddhism, because there was only the concept of heresy and heresy among the pre-Qin princes, and there was no concept of demons.

It just so happened that in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, there was a genius in the world, who was called the "Heavenly Demon" by the Demon Gate, because of cynicism, arrogance and extremism, and could not tolerate orthodoxy, so he searched all over the world, and removed the strange skills and secret techniques in them, and took them from his own way, and processed them into ten volumes of "Heavenly Demon Strategy", which was the beginning of the Demon Gate.

Later, the Demon Gate split, and the ten volumes of "Heavenly Demon Strategy" were scattered in the hands of two factions and six daos.

In "Heavenly Demon Strategy", "Heavenly Demon Formula" and "Dao Heart Demon Cultivation Dafa" are the top works, which are the highest mental methods of the Demon Gate.

Although I am called by the devil for my long history and talents, a detailed examination of his deeds and deeds is nothing more than a loose alliance between eight marginalized small guilds. In the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, there was no supreme king on the earth, and the contention of a hundred schools of thought meant that the promoters of each idea could equally promote their ideas to the princes. No center means no edges; No one is exalted as an eternally righteous god, and naturally no one will be trampled on as a demon.

However, the good times did not last long, the Qin state dominated the world, the Han dynasty prospered after the Qin, the monarchy began to expand and envelop everything, and the official ideology became the only loud voice between heaven and earth. As a result, some strata that were originally active for a while gradually became bleak and speechless because their value orientation was different from the official ideology or even contrary to it. So some of these people of insight, in order to preserve their own ideas, formed a common alliance called itself the Demon Gate.

This alliance included two factions and six sects, including the Yin Sect, which was composed of women engaged in the service industry, the Mending Heaven Pavilion, which was composed of assassins and mercenaries, the Tenlian Sect, which represented the merchant class, and the True Preaching, which preserved the remnants of primitive Taoism. Of course, due to the different times of the rise and fall of various industries, this main body composed of two factions and six ways should be gradually formed in a long historical period.

Because they are contrary to the mainstream. As a result, everything about them cannot enter the public eye, and the public has all kinds of speculations and legends about them due to their incomprehension, and their images are further distorted in these speculations and legends, which is also the common situation of almost all marginalized groups. And the suppression of marginal groups by the mainstream discourse is also called "defending the way and subduing demons" in orthodox writing. ”

Speaking of this, Shi Zhixuan's tone was already full of stiffness, and his teeth were even more gritted, as if he remembered some deep hatred.

Chen Xiang nodded and said, "Yes, since Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty respected Confucianism. After paying special attention to agriculture and belittling industry and commerce, although the great unification of the empire was ideologically guaranteed, it also caused the imperial people to have a history of self-containment that lasted for thousands of years, and also led to the tragic consequences of thousands of years of glorious history and tragic ending. It has also led to the inability of other industries to develop effectively and well, and it is really a success and a failure......"

Shi Zhixuan seemed to be a little unable to understand Chen Xiang's exclamation, but just nodded, as if agreeing. He also continued: "The largest sect among the demon sects is the Yin Sect. In the literal sense, yin and yang are opposite, and can also be seen as a symbol of women. The literal meaning of 癸 is a woman's menstrual affair, and the other meaning of 癸 is "揆". "Historical Records" said that "the words of the decay are also said to be the degree of all things, so it is called the decay." It can be seen that the word yin actually contains the meaning of women controlling the world.

The Yin Sect holds the most essential part of the Heavenly Demon Strategy, and it is believed that it is partly because the Yin Sect has the longest history. After all, the history of women's work groups engaged in the service industry is already in history at the beginning of the Spring and Autumn Period at the latest. And this class has never been interrupted. But it has always been on the margins of history. But I believe that after too many women with a blue heart, after too much of a precarious and precarious life, someone will eventually wake up. Realizing the great potential of their own class, especially when they were fortunate enough to receive a subversive guiding document like the Heavenly Demon Strategy, the Yin Sect came into being.

Let's talk about the demon gate lineage I inherited, Mending Heaven Pavilion. Compared with the long-lasting prosperity of the Yin Sect industry, the existence of the Heaven Repair Pavilion is quite bumpy. The history of the Ranger civilization is also long. During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the Assassins were allowed to operate in mainstream history, but with the establishment of the Great Unified Empire, the golden age of the Assassins came to an abrupt end. It is believed that many members of the Assassin class were very uncomfortable with such a drastic change of identity, and the degree of hatred for Qin Shi Huang in the follow-up of Jing Ke and Gao's former servants is believed to have been somewhat influenced by this reason.

The Assassins were guided by different or even diametrically opposed principles to normal people, and they had to be prepared to abandon their families and children, and betray their relatives and friends. It is precisely for this reason that when they lose their support, it must be the most difficult to integrate into the society of normal people. The nature of the Assassin community meant that they could not have a true partner, which also meant that the Assassin group was on the margins of the community, even in the community of interests. This may also be the main reason why the inheritance of the Mending Heaven Pavilion is so mysterious and the martial arts of the Mending Heaven Pavilion are not outstanding among the two factions and six realms. ”

Speaking of this, Shi Zhixuan's eyes also showed a very distant look, before Shi Zhixuan was because he was the inheritance of two completely different sects of Mending Heaven Pavilion and Huajian School, and at the same time they both cultivated to a very high level, so they had two completely different sets of codes of conduct, and the genius Shi Zhixuan also got Cihang Jianzhai's beauty plan, and used the beautiful disciple Bi Xiuxin as an emotional bond, making him a means of harmony for Cihang Jianzhai's son-in-law.

However, because of the different philosophies of the two, in the end, Shi Zhixuan and Bi Xiuxin gave birth to a daughter, and then parted ways, but Bi Xiuxin died early because of reading Shi Zhixuan's imperfect immortal seal method, which also led to Shi Zhixuan's final inability to control his two sets of life principles, resulting in insanity and becoming a schizophrenic patient.

Shi Zhixuan also had to find the possibility of self-healing through religion, so he pretended to be a virtuous monk in Chang'an City.

Therefore, Shi Zhixuan also had such mixed feelings about the inheritance of the Heavenly Pavilion.

"Mending Heaven Pavilion actually has a double identity, that is, the seed of the entire Demon Gate, so it also has a complete set of Heavenly Demon Strategies, and the volume of scriptures that the National Teacher read before is a condensed version of Heavenly Demon Strategy. It can be said that even if the entire Demon Gate is destroyed, as long as the inheritance of the Heavenly Pavilion still exists, then the Demon Gate will once again find suitable seedlings to teach the martial arts of the other scrolls in the Heavenly Demon Pavilion, so as to restore the entire Demon Gate.

After having the Heavenly Pavilion, I dare to say that after a thousand years, there may be no Cihang Sword Zhai, no Goryeo Yi Sword Stream, and no other bullshit sects, but the Demon Gate will definitely be able to be passed down for a thousand years and have an impact forever.

Back then, I won the favor of the head of the Mending Heaven Pavilion with my proud talent, and taught the mastery of the Mending Heaven Pavilion, inheriting the most important inheritance of this demon gate. At that time, after I got the inheritance of the entire Heavenly Demon Ce and the Heavenly Pavilion, my martial arts also improved by leaps and bounds, and I was still full of spirit and very proud...... Who would have thought, hey...... Fortunately, I met the National Teacher later...... Giving me the Taijiquan Sutra helped me perfect the Immortal Seal Method, and personified my split person into my clone with my ability, not only will it no longer affect my normal judgment, but it can make me a clone of three, do more things, and have greater abilities! ”

Speaking of this, Chen Xiang also sighed very much, Shi Zhixuan is worthy of a generation of heroes, and Cihang Jianzhai disappeared after a thousand years, but the Demon Gate has a long history, and his prediction is really not wrong at all.

Shi Zhixuan quickly adjusted his emotions and continued: "In addition, the inheritance of the faction I inherited is the Flower Sect. You must know that the formation of calligraphy and painting art was in the Han Dynasty and the Han Dynasty, and the calligraphy and painting words were originally the patents of the Gaomen Dave, but during the Wei and Jin Dynasties, the usurpers and ministers were everywhere, and the morality was degraded. Compared with the other schools of the Demon Gate, the Flower Gate belongs to the fringe group of the mainstream society, and this attribute determines its embarrassing position in the two factions and six realms of the Demon Gate, and the pretentious elegance inherited from the family also makes them incompatible with other people in the Demon Gate. It is almost destined to not get the inheritance of the core part of "Heavenly Demon Strategy". However, the origin of the descendants of the flowers and their relative integration into the mainstream society make them relatively natural in their superiority over their fellow demon gates. ”

"I don't know the specific time of the establishment of the Evil Pole Dao, but according to my speculation, it was probably not long after Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, that is to say, the Evil Pole Dao should also be an earlier faction. The first generation of the evil emperor Xie Bo sent his affection to the doctor, but it cannot be considered that the livelihood of the evil pole is just that, otherwise it is difficult to explain the origin of the word "evil pole". In fact, at that time, Na Xie Bo was not only infatuated with medicine, but actually did something that the world could not accept at all, there was an autopsy of corpses, whether it was a person who had died, and even for the purpose of studying medicine, he even dissected the corpses of the elderly and children, and even pregnant women and babies, which was completely unbearable, so it was called the evil way. It is really a sect of the extremely evil sect.

As a madman who likes to dissect corpses, tomb robbing is also a sideline of Xie Bo, as well as the whole evil pole road, you must know that tomb robbery is also a long-standing industry, there is a Han generation, such as Xie Bo and other industries are unprecedented, so that when Liu Bang established the country, he had to "guard the tomb of Qin Shi Huang 20 families" to prevent theft. The disciples of the Evil Extreme Sect also had the opportunity to enter the mainstream in the troubled times of the late Han Dynasty, and Dong Zhuo and Cao Cao even set up the positions of "Touching Jin Captain" and "Faqiu Zhonglang General" for them. However, after all, this kind of livelihood is hated by the people of the world, and it is understandable that it is listed as a demon sect by the evil sect and is evil by the world. ”

Chen Xiang didn't expect that the Evil Extreme Dao would have such a background, especially the medical background, which made Chen Xiang very interested. (To be continued......)
