Chapter 834: The Infighting in the Xanadu
From Qin Shi Huang's annexation of the Six Kingdoms, to the peasant uprising at the end of Qin, and then to the chaos of all walks of life, it was an era of war. Not only is there a constant war between the world, but the cultivation realm has also set off a so-called war between immortals and demons.
Cultivating immortals and cultivating demons are actually just different cultivation methods, and they cannot determine the boundary between good and evil. But those who cultivate the truth have to be divided, and they accuse each other of being demons and themselves being immortals. Just like Zhang Daohan said, everyone is a demon and an immortal. Everyone looks like a fairy on the surface, but there is a demon in their hearts.
A person who does not cultivate according to traditional methods may not be free of goodness in his heart. Those who insist on cultivating according to traditional methods may not be free of evil in their hearts. Truth, goodness, beauty, falsehood, evil and ugliness are never so distinct, they are always intertwined with each other, hidden in the depths of people's hearts. How do people keep the false from the true, do good and punish evil, and seek beauty and avoid ugliness. The process itself is a spiritual practice.
The battle between immortals and demons, in fact, everyone is a demon. It's a war between demons and demons, and they all want to rule the cultivation realm. If the cultivators are in it, they don't want to be alone. You must take sides, or either faction will destroy you. In the name of immortals, they declare that you are a demon and then fight and kill.
The Zhengwei faction has three brothers. Guanyi is a junior brother. The master has already ascended to the immortal realm, which is the pride of the Zhengwei faction. Now the senior brother is the head of the family, and he is also a person who is close to ascending.
The elder brother of the head of the sect led the people of the whole faction to participate in the great battle. According to the elder brother, he wants to destroy the demon guard, which is a great merit he made before his ascension.
The second senior brother actively followed the senior brother. However, the junior brother Guan Yi left the Zhengwei faction with three apprentices, and he was unwilling to participate in the so-called fairy and demon war.
It's not that Guan Yi has a high level of consciousness, it's not that he has understood the mystery of the immortal and demon war, and it's not that he's afraid of death. The real reason why he left the mountain gate and resolutely did not participate in the war was that he had a bad relationship with the second senior brother. For more than 300 years, they have been at odds for a long time.
Whatever the second senior brother is in favor of, Guan Yi clearly opposes. Anyone who participated in the second senior brother resolutely withdrew from Guanyi. Anyway, they just can't pee in a pot, and they are ironclad enemies of life and death.
But in the battle of immortals and demons, it is not possible to stick to the previous practice. This is a big battle involving all cultivators, you are either an immortal or a demon, there is no second way to go. The cultivators blamed each other, and they all wished they could beat each other to death with a stick.
How many people who adhere to traditional cultivation methods have been beaten into demons in a daze? And how many of them are actually considered immortals using the Demon Dao cultivation method? Anyway, both sides firmly believe that they are the orthodox of the Three Qings, and they are the ones who defend the justice of the Heavenly Dao.
At that time, heaven and earth were still connected. None of the three Qing Dao Ancestors who were high above came down to say a word to identify who was the person or sect who really inherited their Dao system. If the Sanqing Dao Ancestor didn't come down to speak, the cultivators of the Nether Realm would beat their heads with their heads down.
If Guan Yi didn't participate in the war, the second senior brother could justifiably beat him to death. If you die, you will be defiled as a demon, and even your family and apprentices will be killed. Therefore, the only way to view one is to go and leave the Zhengwei faction. Go to a place where the battle of immortals and demons can't reach, and build your own dojo.
I don't know how many years of tossing and turning, how many years of displacement. How many mountains have been climbed, how many rivers have been crossed. Finally let Guanyi find such a paradise, so they settled here.
At this time, the battle between immortals and demons is not over. However, the Zhengwei sect has already announced to the world that Guan Yi is a traitor to their sect. He also announced that Guan Yi had already entered the demon, and the Zhengwei Sect had removed him and his three disciples, and everyone in the cultivation world could be punished.
Guan Yi and his three apprentices never openly stepped into the Central Plains region from then on, and devoted themselves to cultivating in this paradise. Speaking of a thousand ways and ten thousand, the cultivation realm is a place where they speak with strength, and their ultimate goal is to ascend to immortality. You say I'm a traitor, so what? My cultivation is higher than yours, and that's it. I have ascended, and you are still practicing penance in the world, so I can despise you.
said that they did not openly set foot in the Central Plains, which means that they still went quietly. You don't have to participate in the battle of immortals and demons, but you still have to fish for oil and water.
Those lone cultivators can kill them immediately, snatching away their magic weapons and other good things. Anyway, there is war everywhere, and who knows which enemy killed this man? In times of war, human life is not valuable, and no one cares about the dead.
There are even more sects that have been destroyed, and there are even more good things in them. Guanyi's master and apprentice have all been collected, and they don't even let go of a needle.
The battle between immortals and demons continued together after the heaven and earth were blocked. The founding patriarch of Zhang Daohan's sect is Taiyi Jinxian, an indisputable famous and upright family. But Yuan Chu gathered a large number of cultivators to attack in the name of eliminating demons and defending the Dao.
Zhang Daohan's sect's collection of heavenly and earthly treasures is very good, and it didn't make any big fortunes for Guanyi's master and apprentice.
While making a fortune from the war and collecting treasures, the master and apprentice of Guan Yi also stepped up the consolidation and concealment of the mountain gate. The results of these consolidation and concealment projects have already been mentioned, so I will not say much about the process.
It should be noted that the protective array set up by Guanyi is mainly based on Amaterasu streamer, plus other overlapping formations. But there were no eyes.
Amaterasu Streamer was obtained by Kanichi from another school. The second senior brother said that Guan Yi had already fallen into the devil and did not wronged him. But Kanichi's Amaterasu Streamer Array never actually worked, because no one had ever been here in the long past.
The story of the eyes is tragic and mournful.
Guan Yi came here more than 60 years later. At this time, the heavens and the earth had been cut off, and he was wiped out. The disciples erected a tablet for him, calling him "the most holy immortal in the sky", which was to put gold on his face.
After the death of Guan Yi, the eldest disciple was in charge of the Zhengwei Gate. They always call themselves Zhengweimen and consider them authentic. In addition, the descendants of the master and the second master, they call them side sects. In fact, the master and the second master have no descendants, and they all died in battle. It's okay to say they're authentic.
The three disciples had long been at odds, and the master didn't dare to have a seizure when he was there. As soon as the master died, the contradiction was immediately exposed. The three brothers often quarreled and quarreled over trivial matters. But after all, they are brothers, and the quarrel is just a matter of mouth.
Later, the three brothers also died. is still headed by the senior brother. The other people in the two rooms were not convinced, and they have developed to the point where they not only talk but also do the same. However, it is only hands-on, and the magic weapon still does not dare to use it. From the third ** onwards, the three houses are built separately in their own villages. The three villages are far away, and the real voice of chickens and dogs is heard from each other, and the old and dead of the people do not interact with each other.
Later, the third generation also died. From the fourth **, the people of the three villages have been enemies for generations. The focus of hatred is that the secret of the opening of Amaterasu Streamer is in the hands of Dafang. In the second generation, despite the discord, everyone had nothing to say.
When the master was alive, he said that the secret of the opening of the Amaterasu streamer can only be placed here. The purpose is to prevent people from going out without permission and thus bringing in people who are not in the same way. In this way, the secrets of the paradise will inevitably be revealed.
In order to prevent outsiders from entering as closely as possible, family members are not allowed to go out. Guan Yi even used the great magic power to spread a large shielding magic circle in the entire paradise.
This shielding array of Guanyi is similar to the trapped immortal array of Enron Winery designed by Zhang Qiuran. I don't feel like being in a paradise at all, but I just can't fly out. No matter how you fly, no matter how high or how long you fly, you'll be in the paradise when you land.
Unlike Zhang Qiuran's Trapped Immortal Array, flying from the sky outside, there was no paradise below at all.
In this way, if the people inside want to go out, they must ask the head for approval. They have to go out to recruit disciples, they have to go out to practice, so they have to go out. It's not that the head doesn't approve it, but every time you have to explain what you're going out to do, and set the number and time.
This makes the people in the other two rooms feel particularly troublesome, and the resentment is getting bigger and bigger. The first three generations barely maintained, and by the fourth generation they couldn't help it. The second room and the third room were combined, and there were several fights with the big room. Since the big room can freely enter and exit the paradise, they choose more disciples than the other two rooms. Only when the two rooms are united can they fight with the big house.
In the fourth generation, something happened. There is a young man in the second room, named Zhu Xingjian. There is a girl in the third room, named Mu Jingzhi.
The girls and guys here are actually in their 200s. Both of them changed their appearances during the Yuan Infant Tribulation, Zhu Xingjian became like a young man in his twenties, and Mu Jingzhi became like a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl.
Then again, they are all genuine virgins--- men and virgins --- women. After more than 200 years of penance, his heart is indeed like that of a boy or a girl. It's not an exaggeration to say they're girls.
Zhu Xingjian and Mu Jingzhi fell in love. Do you know what their love is like? Fifty years! Fifty years of love but never held hands once. In addition to uniting to fight with the big house, the second and third rooms usually don't get along. The three villages here do not intermarry with each other.
Although they love each other, they dare not cross the thunder pool by half a step. With such an environment and such a life, two people who love each other can't stand it anymore. The two discussed running out and eloping!
As a result, as mentioned earlier, a man and a woman became streamers. After a long time, the head of the family went out to find these two people.
The ruthlessness of the head of the family is that he did not bury this pair of lovers properly. Instead, they gouged out their eyes, but threw their bodies into the abyss to feed the crocodiles. Then place your eyes in the crystal circle. And a pair of streamers were added to the entire formation, making the formation deceptive.
The last boss was also evil, he built a gate and painted an eye on the gate. Originally, there was no gate here, and everywhere in and out was a shielded formation, which was invisible to ordinary outsiders. Changed by this master, ordinary people can see it, but as soon as you come in, you will die.
Then, for a long time, the head of the house did not allow the other two rooms to go out. He planned never to let the other two people go out. Why are the other two people not allowed to go out for a long time? Because there is no later.
The people in the other two rooms were getting angrier and angrier when they saw that the head of the house always refused to allow them to go out. You're not a head at all, you're a jailer! It's the warden, it's the prisoner who treats us as prisoners!
The people of the two rooms are united again. This time it was no longer a fight, they were determined to kill the boss.
