As Zhang Liang stepped on the Hongqiao step by step, he saw countless ghosts around him, constantly circulating between black and white life and death, many of them had hideous faces and did not look like people, some ghosts had the characteristics of hybridization between humans and beasts, some were simply fierce beasts, demons, and some were alienated humans with green faces and fangs, these ghosts were wrapped with incense wishes, and these incense wishes turned into various visions, turning into chains, long flags, ritual vessels, long whips, screws, small drums, and gongs......

In the black and white atmosphere, these ghosts kept crying and squirming, looking like a hundred ghosts walking every day and evil ghosts coming out of the cage.

Those evil ghosts were shackled by the chains of the incense and fire wishing power, the black and white long flags drove them, the long whip whipped those ghosts who were close to Zhang Liang and wanted to fight back, and the horns, small drums, and gongs played in unison, those ghosts heard it, they all showed a painful look on their faces, and they were driven away, kneeling on the Hongqiao and kneeling on the ground, and worshipping the Emperor Bojun on the white jade platform!

As they knelt down, the power of the wishes they carried on their bodies overwhelmingly rushed towards Emperor Bojun, turned into smallpox, and sprinkled on Emperor Bojun's body with pale golden divine power. Emperor Bojun was infected by that divine power, and he also felt refreshed.

Fan Wuzai was shocked: "Taiping Dao is dead?" ”

"How dare you impeach the forbidden soul! Dare to enslave the soul in front of the Heavenly Court Patrol Envoy, is this the local government not existing? Isn't it true that the Heavenly Court of the local government is a family? ”

The Blood Slaughter Demon Lord hurriedly pulled him: "Fourth brother, take a closer look...... This is not a living soul, but an ancestral spirit. ”

"The ancestral spirit is a yin spirit pseudo-god who does not enter the underworld and forcibly seals the god with his wish in the yang world. However, if the soul of the Yuan Shen is strong enough to resist the involvement of the ghost gate, and after death, it will not enter the reincarnation, and it will reshape the soul body with the power of blood and will, and the Yuan Shen will be forcibly transformed into a god is this kind of Yin Spirit. This is to take advantage of the loophole in the agreement between the underworld and the Shinto back then, use the sacrifice of his own blood descendants, provide for himself, transform into a yin spirit, obtain part of the identity privileges of the gods, and become an extralegal yin spirit that is difficult for the underworld to govern. ”

Yuan Yu shook his head and added: "They will not be forcibly wanted by the underworld and detained into reincarnation, but they are also not protected by the underworld. ”

"It is the yin and evil stream of the lower nine streams in Shinto, although the yin spirit can be said to be the foundation of Shinto, but it is also a despicable status...... This kind of yin spirit pseudo-god is called the ancestral spirit in the demon barbarians, and it is called the family ancestor among the human race, and many of the human family ancestors are recognized by the heavenly court, but the merit is not enough, and they are temporarily sent to the family and worshiped by the descendants. ”

"If the merit of the family is not enough, the heavenly court allows his descendants to accumulate merit for him, and accumulate merit for God."

This is also a righteous path of Shinto, and this kind of merit accumulated by descendants for their ancestors is called Yin Virtue in the Merit Law, and those who are Yin Virtue bear the burden! The ancestors left merits to their descendants, blessed their luck in the dark, and the descendants accumulated merits for their ancestors so that they could be canonized by the heavenly court, and this kind of merit transferred between the descendants of the bloodline is one of the five virtues of the merit law. ”

"And the demon barbarian has no merit, he can only sacrifice blood and food for future generations, so that his ancestral spirit is strong, can manifest his power, and protect future generations!"

"The family is also in the heavenly court system, preparing immortals, but the ancestral spirit is a demon and a fake ghost god, and the heavenly court rejects the evil ...... That Zhang Liang enslaved these countless ancestral spirits and kowtowed to the heavenly court, this is a sign of loyalty! ”

"To show the Taiping Dao for the heavenly court to detain the soul of sin, clean up the evil spirit!"

Mu Gongzi also nodded lightly, expressing his approval: "Taiping Dao felled the hillside and destroyed the temple, and swept away the demons and evils, of course, it has the intention of expanding its own power and occupying those poor mountains and evil waters that have not been canonized by the gods in the heavenly court. But it is also the call of the corresponding heavenly court to clean up the ancestral spirits and evil gods of those blood and witch sacrifices who are not subservient. Only then did he get the blue eyes of the big man in the heavenly court, and now Zhang Liang ordered these countless ancestral spirits to show his Taiping Dao to drive away evil spirits! ”

The Blood Slaughter Demon Lord quietly transmitted a message to Fan Wuzai: "The demon clan respects the bloodline, so they sacrifice more ancestral spirits. However, the ancestral spirit can transcend the jurisdiction of the underworld and be recognized by the underworld, which is not as simple as they say. ”

Fan Wuzai whispered: "But it's because of the witch cult? ”

"Exactly, the ancestral spirit is a god recognized by the witch religion, and it is also the basis of the witch religion god system...... The difference between gods and ghosts, but one of the nine questions of the Netherworld: Reincarnation is the Fa-rectification, what is the difference between ghosts and gods? The water inside is very deep, and even if the heavenly court and the various religions insert their hands into reincarnation in the battle between heaven and earth, establish the underworld, and interfere with the things of reincarnation, it will be difficult to change. ”

"Now the residual influence of the witch sect is still very strong, and among the four fields where the authority of the heavenly court is not so strong, there are still many human tribes that worship the ancestral spirit of the witch god...... The Emperor of Heaven established the Heavenly Court, and did not directly pull people from the Wu clan, so he was afraid of the Wu Sect. Later, the Heavenly Court was established, the Witch Sect was divided, and some of the twelve ancestors chose to follow the Heavenly Court, some chose to follow the Hou Tu Niangniang, and some took refuge in Candle Jiuyin. The internal contradictions are very complex...... In the future, the battle between heaven and earth and the destruction of the underworld are all related to it. ”

"Ancestral spirits and other remnants of witch gods, those who do not enter the heavenly court system, are called the six days of old qi, and the six days of old ghosts. The three major forces of Heaven, Earth, and Xuanmen to crusade against the Six Heavens of Righteousness are known as the Three-Day Fa-rectification, and the three-day Fa-rectification crusade against the six-day Old-spirited Qi is too mixed! Drowning ten or eight Da Luo without panting...... Taiping Dao is involved in it, because they themselves don't know whether they are alive or dead, and we can't get involved! ”

Van Wuzai was shocked, Taiping Dao can spread the name of anti-heaven in later generations, and still retains the Taoist system, it is really extraordinary, Zhang Liang showed his supernatural powers, drove away the ghosts of the six heavens, and bowed to the heavenly court, on the surface it is to show his magical powers, but in fact, he is showing his merits to the heavenly court, and expressing his Taoist system to the big man who Zhang Jiao wants to take refuge in the compromise of the heavenly court.

It is also one of the manifestations of Zhang Jiao's surrender to Heaven.

But at a deeper level, it involves the entanglement between the six days of old qi and the three days of Fa-rectification, which can be traced back to the battle of the lich, involving the destruction of the ancient demon court back then, and even the division of the witch clan, the Heavenly Emperor, Houtu, and Candle Jiuyin took the lead in splitting the twelve ancestral witches.

After the Twelve Ancestors obtained Pangu, they fought with the Ancient Demon Court to compete for the throne of the Emperor of Heaven, and the Emperor of Heaven established the Heavenly Court, Gonggong, Zhurong, Qiangliang, Xizi, etc., and Houtu established the underworld, Xuanming, Jumang, and Beishou and other Jingcong, Tianwu and Haobi Corpse chose to follow Candle Jiuyin......

After the establishment of the Heavenly Court, the underground government established by Houtu inevitably contradicted the Heavenly Court, which was bound to centralize power.

Although reincarnation is the divine right of Houtu, but the heavenly court rules the flood and controls all the divine power, how can the underworld be separated from the heavenly power system for a long time, which led to a war without gunpowder, and finally the Houtu lost in this power struggle, the power of reincarnation fell aside, and the power of the underworld was returned to the heavenly court.

This is the gossip that has been circulated in the flood wilderness, and the dispute between heaven and earth has never been officially recognized by the Heavenly Court.

This kind of power struggle at the top of the Heavenly Court is quite obscure, anyway, when the Witch Sect Houtu, Dijiang co-presided over the double-headed politics of the Witch Sect's power, after overthrowing the Taigu Demon Court and establishing the dual system of Heaven and Earth, he finally completed the centralization of the Heavenly Court in the hands of the Emperor of Heaven.

It is rumored that when Heaven and Earth seized power, the Emperor of Heaven took advantage of the dispute between Emperor Wa and Houtu to create people, and finally won the power struggle against Houtu.

But because of this, it laid a hidden danger for the later Houtu and Styx to join forces to destroy the underworld.

The Six Heavens of Old Spirits involve the power struggle between the Emperor of Heaven and Houtu, the Lich War, the destruction of the underworld, the division of the Witch Cult, the cause and effect of a certain part of the Witch Sect being invested in the Demon Gate, the reform of the Heavenly Court, and the dispute over the creation of human beings...... Although they don't know all of this, but only the part they know is very terrifying!

So that a few people didn't dare to think deeply at all......

The Blood Slaughter Demon Lord woke up Fan Wuqi and asked him not to get involved in the taboo of the Six Heavens of Old Qi, ensuring that a few people would not accidentally touch any deeply hidden Yin Thunder, and after being involved in this struggle that had nothing to do with them, they would no longer speak.

Fan Wuzai looked at Zhang Liang's supernatural powers one step further, the six days of the old ghost ancestral spirit under his drive, the black and white qi rolled, and then sacrificed a yin spirit, this time the yin spirit is more similar to a god, the yin is pure, the face is also peaceful, the face is lifelike, just like a real person, even if there is a non-human appearance, it is mostly handsome, beautiful, simple, and robust.

These heroic spirits accompanied Zhang Liang's body, so that every move he made was blessed by the gods, and the divine power of these yin spirits helped.

"Could this be the peerless supernatural power in the Taiping Sutra - there are nine degrees of Tao?" Yuan Yu said with a solemn face: "There are nine degrees of Taoism, and it is the Dao Gate Law to detain ghosts and send gods." In later generations, the Daomen drove away ghosts and gods, and they all came out of it. I thought it was just an exaggeration in the Taoist scriptures, but now it seems that it really lives up to its name. ”

Hearing this, the Wusheng Sect Master also frowned and said, "If it is really - the Dao has nine degrees, just now it was the ancestor of the ancestral spirit family, this time it could be the foreign god spirit essence?" ”

"The foreign gods, their gods are foreign, and their ways have no affiliation, making people speak in vain, half of them are true, and half of them are evil."

Only then did Fan Wuzai realize that Zhang Liang drove the ancestral spirits and ruled the foreign gods, which was an extremely powerful supernatural power, and the demon barbarian ancestral spirits were chaotic, and the divine body was close to ghosts, accompanied by the power of curses, filth, and decay, so Zhang Liang restrained and drove them with the breath of incense, on the one hand, he offered them with incense, and on the other hand, he also controlled and drove them.

Just now Zhang Liang revealed his hand, and the "Taiping Sutra" drove the ancestral spirit to worship and condense the divine power of smallpox. The ancestral spirit is like a filtering and purifying device, condensing the mixed incense wish power into a relatively pure divine power through the instinct of the ancestral spirit's ghosts and gods. This kind of divine power can be used by Zhang Liang at will, blessed on the body of Emperor Bojun, and can be turned into smallpox. Blessed on oneself, isn't it a surge in mana, and it is endless?

Now the mountain spirit and water spirit are foreign gods, and they are relatively pure vitality into elves and turned into gods, so the divine power is relatively pure.

Zhang Liang used the sacrificial method to sacrifice these foreign gods to his side, turning them into the power in the darkness and nothingness, and in the void around him, those foreign gods manifested and sorted out the laws and vitality of heaven and earth for him.

The monk's fighting method, relying on his own mana, is only a small force, and more relies on his own mana to mobilize the strength of heaven and earth.

Now other monks can only borrow the power of heaven and earth vitality, but Zhang Liang uses the divine power of the nine degrees of the "Taiping Sutra" avenue to drive the foreign gods and spirits, not only can borrow the heaven and earth vitality, but also can use the power of ghosts and gods, and naturally suppress others from borrowing the power of heaven and earth vitality.

Zhang Liang took another nine steps on the Hongqiao, and shook himself to the ground against Emperor Bojun, and the countless foreign divine powers surged towards Bojun's disciples again, only to see that on the white jade platform, on the table paved with beautiful jade, around the emperor Bojun, there were golden lotuses, and even golden springs condensed by divine power gushed out, holding golden lotus.

The golden lotus contains pure divine power, and only a few people in the audience can see that these golden lotus can be transformed into extremely powerful guardian powers at any time, and the captain of the Galaxy Water Division, who was sitting under the hands of Emperor Bojun, looked moved, and seemed to have some intentions, but he carefully checked the divine powers contained in those golden lotuses, and found that they were only pure guardian powers, and there was no malice, so he relaxed.

At the signal of Emperor Bojun, there was no seizure.

Zhang Liang took another nine steps, but what appeared this time was not the true body of the god, but some projections and illusions mixed with several real heroic spirits, demigods!

Although those projections and illusions are all symbolic demigods who support the Taiping Dao, they symbolize the relationship network of the Taiping Dao.

But Mu Gongzi and Fan Wuzai both breathed a sigh of relief, Mu Gongzi looked at Fan Wuzai also looked relaxed, and said with a smile: "I have also heard of the nine degrees of the avenue of Taiping Road. ”

"One is the vitality of inaction, the second is the condensation of nothingness, the third is the number of visible, the fourth is the return of the fugue, the fifth is the great road of the gods, the sixth is the stabbing of the earth, the seventh is the heroic spirit of the social scheme, the eighth is the spirit of the foreign gods, and the ninth is the spirit of the ancestors."

"It is the supreme supernatural power that divides the gods of the world into nine degrees, borrowing the power of the nine gods, and is invincible in the world."

"I thought he could really borrow the power of the Star Lord, the Celestial? It seems that Zhang Jiao still didn't get the permission of the big man behind him to borrow the power of the Heavenly Court system, and now he can only play with the local gods...... Those local gods are limited by the merit law, and it is okay to do him a little favor, but if it involves the survival of living beings and the major matters considered by the merit law, I think there are a few gods who dare to help him at the risk of having their merit stripped away! ”

Fan Wuzai also smiled and said: "If this is the case, then the Nine Degrees of the Great Dao is just a heavenly supernatural power, and it does not violate the merits, and naturally there are all the gods to help it, once Zhang Jiao wants to go against the grain, he can only use the power of those ancestral spirits and evil gods imprisoned by the Taiping Dao!" ”

Yuan Yu's expression moved when he heard this, and he whispered in a voice that could be heard by the audience next to him: "This Liang envoy turned out to be the peerless magic power of Taiping Dao - the ninth degree of the Great Dao!" ”

"It's a pity that the head of the avenue, the vitality is inactive, and there are only three gods in the world who can be called the vitality and inaction. What kind of magic is the three deities of Xuanmen, how can they be borrowed by just one Taiping Dao, so the ninth degree of divine power of Taiping Dao Dao is just a trace of truth taken from the ancestors of the Three Qing Dao! Although the power is also extremely amazing, it is not invincible in the world. ”

"The second Ning Jing Nothingness is also Emperor Wa Xi, and even when today's emperor, the former demon emperor Jun and others. It can be seen several times in three degrees, it is the ancient witch god, the demon god, and the great supernatural power. The four of them returned from the Divine Wandering, but it was the Emperor of today's Court, the most inconspicuous of those Divine Monarchs and Heavenly Monarchs that could be seen in the Heavenly Realm, and they were also the main gods of the Heavenly Star. Its five great avenues are the same as the gods, which are the gods of the four seasons and five elements, and the gods of the great road. ”

"These Heavenly Venerables, Emperor Monarchs, Heavenly Monarchs, Divine Monarchs, Star Lords, Season Lords, Witch Gods, Demon Gods, which one is not extremely expensive, Zhang Jiao has tried every possible way, at most he can invite a trace of divine power to bless him."

"Only small gods such as the Assassin Joy Spirit, the Conspiracy Heroic Spirit, the Foreign God Spirit, and the Ancestral Spirit of the Family, can he dispatch and detain him and seize his divine power."

"And if it is a god canonized by the Heavenly Court, even if it is a mere Mao God family first, he can't move it."

"This avenue is nine degrees, and the first four degrees of Taiping Dao cut down mountains and temples, conquered evil gods, and detained the true bodies of those gods, and they can be achieved overnight. In the last five degrees, even if Zhang Jiao comes, he can only manifest a trace of phantom, practice into a look, and get a little fur! The qualifications of this beam are okay...... But if you want to say that you can refine the last five degrees, I don't believe it! ”

The immortals in the Quartet nodded one after another, Zhang Jiao's magical power was indeed a little more ambitious, so it failed to be perfected, and only the first four degrees were perfected...... The ambition of this supernatural power is so great, if you want to completely perfect it, or practice it to the highest level, I am afraid that the Emperor of Heaven will come. After all, Sanqing is not a minister of the Emperor of Heaven, and he can't practice the Great Dao for the first time.

And it is not possible for Sanqing to practice, because Heavenly Court is not in the hands of Sanqing.

The god of the four times and five elements, the lord of the stars, so that the ancient gods of all parties, the emperor of the heavenly court can only be ordered by the emperor of heaven, the heavenly court is the sum of all divine powers, and Zhang Jiao has just made a vitality and inaction, beyond the divine power.

The nine degrees of his Great Dao can only be refined by an existence in theory......

That is the Emperor of Xuanmen who has been established by the Three Qing Dynasty!

Yuan Yu also saw that the ninth degree of this avenue contained the secret of Da Luo that Zhang Jiao had comprehended.

To put it bluntly, Zhang Jiao's avenue nine degrees, the meaning of the real nine degrees, is not as simple as Yuan Yu said, the vitality is inactive, but the three Qing respect gods, the beginning, the yuan, and the three Qi. And condensing the nothingness, but it is those ancient gods and great gods who once preached Pangu; Several degrees can be seen - the number of degrees, the accumulation of thought and self-regard, the number from the hair down to the five fingers of the foot, respectively to describe the inside and outside, incomplete.

It means contemplating the mind, counting from the hair to the five fingers of the feet, being cautious of the inside and closing the outside, knowing more is defeated, and the body of the Huang Ting is seen.

Huang Ting is a body god, a human body, and the appearance of Pangu.

The body god seen is the innate god born when Pangu turned into heaven and earth, that is, the great supernatural power who has attained the appearance of Pangu.

The secret of Daluo contained in the Nine Degrees of the Great Dao is actually the secret of the gods born in turn when Pangu opened the world, that is, the god of Pangu...... It's a pity that Yuan Yu has already realized that the path deduced by Zhang Jiao directly proves that the god of Pangu is impossible to cultivate. I want to pass through the nine degrees of the Great Dao, reverse Pangu and transform into a god, and prove Daluo.

It's basically a whimsical idea.

"No wonder Zhang Jiao rebelled against Heaven later and wanted to establish the Xuanmen Heavenly Emperor...... Yuan Yu said suddenly: "It turned out that he didn't give up and wanted to take this desperate road!" ”

"But although the ninth degree of the road is a fundamental method in the "Taiping Sutra", but today's Zhang Jiao is definitely not crazy enough to want to use this road to prove Daluo, and there must be more than this dead end in the "Taiping Sutra"? Zhang Jiao should be majoring in another path now, so he wants to take refuge in Heavenly Court...... So why did he turn to that dead end? ”

Yuan Yu was a little puzzled, but this secret would definitely not be able to find clues for a while, so he put it in the back of his mind for the time being.

turned to continue to build momentum for Zhang Liang and pulled his heels clearly.

In the pavilion of Baiyutai, Emperor Bojun heard the 'explanation' and 'agitation' of Yuanyu and others in the audience, turned his head to look at the position where Zhang Jiao was sitting, and said with a smile: "Taiping Sect Master, is it Brother Ling who is standing on the stage?" It's really terrifying...... I have heard for a long time that the main creator of the "Taiping Sutra" has obtained the true biography of Nanhua Zhenren, and now I look at the miraculous powers revealed by my brother, which is really extraordinary! ”

Zhang Jiao smiled: "The emperor is too famous!" It's just some vulgar methods, offering ugliness in front of the Heavenly Court Dao, and the Heavenly Court envoys laughed! ”

Emperor Bojun laughed and said: "Brother Ling's Dao Nine Degrees, for the Heavenly Court to clear the source, crusade against the six heavens of old qi, the evil god." It can be seen that Taiping Dao adheres to the teachings of the heavenly court and routinely follows the right path, which is rare and valuable. ”

Zhang Jiao bowed and said: "It's all the emperor's teachings!" It is also the work of the Ziyang Emperor's solemn law and the rectification of chaos. ”
