Chapter 245: The Origin of Everything
When I opened the door and entered the house, I found my father-in-law sitting at the table drinking tea by himself, waiting for me to come back. He was wearing the kind of cardigan of the Republic of China period, with an elegant temperament and the style of a successful person. If you don't know his identity, you will mistakenly think that he is a noble nobleman in the world. Just like the first time I saw him in the villa of the Shanghai Spirit War Force.
He heard a voice at the door and looked at me, "Oh, you're back?" Come and sit down next to the Father. If you are not sleepy, my father wants to talk to you today. “
Naturally, I was not sleepy, I felt that I closed the door and walked quickly to sit down on the stool next to Hong Tianjun, looked at him with some confusion and surprise, and said, "Father-in-law...... Is this your real person? Could it be that you sent someone to move the real Tiangang astrolabe and body from Shanghai to Beijing? “
Seeing my curious appearance, Hong Tianjun laughed: "Silly boy, if you look carefully, does the son of his stepfather look like a real body?" It's just a kind of blinding method condensed by the power of the soul. It is different from the real physical body, and it is also different from the spirit body. “
What the? So powerful! Is this a condensation of the soul?
Hearing my stepfather say that he is now a soul shocked my heart. I didn't expect that I could condense such a real form with my soul alone, and I couldn't see through it with either my naked eye or my spiritual vision!
"Come, come and sit down next to me, and tell my father about your affairs in the Panjiayuan Night Market." My stepfather smiled again and beckoned to me.
When I went over and sat down on the stool next to him, I found that there was the blue square crystal on the table, and one of them was the Yin-Yang Pill that I had obtained from Lu Wu Jingming. I also put the five-colored fruit I got from the ghost master's nameless predecessor next to the Yin-Yang Pill.
The father-in-law's expression became extremely solemn at this time: "Jiang Ming, I think everything should be explained to you clearly." It's a long and complicated thing...... I hope I can try to make it as clear as I can with you. After that, you make an important choice for yourself. ”
I saw my father-in-law, who had always been kind to me and smiling, so serious and dignified. I immediately sat upright and said with a solemn face: "Well, I've been waiting for this day for a long time. ”
"Before I do that, I want to ask you. What did you encounter and what did you know about your experience in the underworld? ”
So I told my father-in-law what I experienced in the underworld after falling into the yin and yang channel opened by the Xiangxi Corpse King before he died. After listening to this, he nodded slightly: "I see, it seems that you already know a lot of things." So, I'll start with the discovery of the underworld in the Han Dynasty. ”
So, immediately after listening to the story told by the fire in the Heavenly Master's Village in the underworld, I heard the follow-up story after discovering the underworld from my father-in-law......
It is said that at that time, there were seven Daomen masters who discovered the mysterious world where the legendary Nuwa and Fuxi tribes who created human beings went. Only three people know about the information that has been handed down now. They are Wang Xuanfu, Zhang Daoling, and Ge Xuan. Of the remaining four people who don't know the specific information, three of them went to the mysterious world with a large number of people from the Xuanmen, and one is missing, and no one knows where he went, so it is difficult to know his information.
At that time, after the three masters of Taoism and Buddhism arrived at the mysterious world with a large number of warlocks, everyone fell into an unprecedented shock, shocked by another new world! There was a dead silence, there was hardly any people, the sky was always gloomy, there was no moon, but there was a sun. But the sun's rays were not hot at all, but as soft as the moonlight......
But in the end, they were a little disappointed that after a long search, they found no trace of the Nuwa and Fuxi tribes, and there was no mysterious power left over from ancient times that far surpassed Taoism and Buddhism.
But beyond that, they discovered many other incredible secrets!
The destination of the soul is one of the most amazing ones.
You must know that until the time when Qin Shi Huang established the Qin Empire, people maintained a relatively simple natural philosophical view of life and death that had been handed down from the pre-Qin period. It is believed that "human death is like a lamp going out", and after the human body dies and decays, the soul will naturally dissipate from this heaven and earth, just like all kinds of flowers and trees, birds, fish and beasts in nature.
But when this group of Xuanmen people looking for Nuwa and the Fuxi tribe came to this mysterious world, they were shocked to find out. It turns out that the truth is not at all what people imagined before!
After death, the soul is still there, and it does not die with the body! And the place where the soul goes is this mysterious world.
In the far west of this mysterious world, they discovered a giant peak that towered into the sky. The strange rocks are craggy and steep, and they are pitch black as ink, and they are composed of a kind of stone that has never been seen before. And in the always dark sky, translucent gray human figures continued to fly down, submerging into this strange black giant peak.
Everyone looked at each other, facing this extremely strange scene, not knowing what was going on. After a long time of observation and speculation, the three leading Xuanmen masters finally came to a shocking conclusion. This is the soul of the living after death!! It turns out that after death, the soul does not decay and die with the body, but comes to this mysterious world.
This is a world where the souls of the dead have arrived!
The importance of this discovery can be said to be absolutely not inferior to the pursuit of the Nuwa and Fuxi tribes!!
In fact, not long after these people entered that mysterious world, they had already discovered how to communicate between the two worlds, so in fact, those Dao masters who did not enter this mysterious world were able to continuously receive relevant information.
Therefore, when they discovered the strange black giant peak, they immediately notified the people of the other world about it, which naturally caused an uproar.
After Wang Xuanfu, Zhang Daoling, and Ge Xuan learned of this, they immediately gathered together to discuss. They all vaguely felt the importance of this matter, and I was afraid that it would change the whole world......
After deliberating, they decided to name the mysterious world where the soul of the person went after death "The Netherworld", and the world where they lived was inhabited by living people "The Yang Realm". Yin and yang correspond to life and death, and it is also consistent with the theory of yin and yang in Taoist theory, which may also prove the correctness of the theory of the sages from another side.
It was from that time that some people began to know that there are two worlds in the world, yin and yang. And gradually spread to ordinary people, there are various imaginations and descriptions of the underworld that this person went to after death, and finally became a traditional Chinese culture. As for the relationship between the underworld and the yang, only a very small number of people know about it.
On the other hand, after the news came out to the yang world by the people in that mysterious world, they continued to explore the strange black giant peak under the leadership of the three masters. It was discovered that there was a huge underground space under this mountain, which once again shocked everyone who knew the news in both worlds!
After communicating and discussing with the three Xuanmen masters who led the team in the Netherworld, it was decided to let two of them lead half of the warlocks into the underground of this black giant peak to find out, and the remaining one Daomen master stayed on the ground, waiting for their news.
But what no one could have imagined was that this exploration of the underworld of the Black Giant Peak in the Netherworld would bring consequences that no one expected, as well as ...... A behemoth called Yin Si!
After the two Xuanmen masters led half of the people into the underground of the black giant peak, there was no news. Although the people who remained on the ground of the netherworld were anxious, they did not dare to rush into the ground. After all, it is most of the forces that have come to this world to go down to explore, and if there is a problem with them, the remaining small number of people can only kill themselves when they go down, and there is no point in going down.
Wang Xuanfu, Zhang Daoling, Ge Xuan and others who stayed in the yang world were also very anxious when they learned the news, but they had no choice but to wait patiently.
Finally, after a month had passed, when the people who had been left behind on the ground of the Netherworld led by that Dao Sect master were about to give up in despair and were about to find a way to return to the Yang World immediately, something happened when something happened!
The ground around this strange black giant peak suddenly shook and made a rumbling sound, which surprised the Xuanmen Warlocks who had been guarding nearby for a month, and they all avoided it. Then, in their stunned gaze, a black hall suddenly appeared in the east, south, west, and north directions surrounding the black giant mountain!!
These four halls are simple and vicissitudes, and the whole body is built of the same stone as this strange black giant peak, exuding bursts of cold and mysterious black mist, which sets off the hall to be extremely mysterious and gloomy. They were all suspended in the air one foot above the ground, connected to each other by black iron chains thicker than human bodies, and the black iron chains were pulled with a loud sound between ups and downs.
And the gray translucent humanoid that had been continuously submerging from the gray gloomy sky into this huge black giant actually changed direction, and all of them headed towards the four black hanging halls that suddenly appeared!!
It was as if these four great halls had taken over the role of this black giant peak in receiving the souls of the yang world in an instant!
The strange scene and terrible changes in front of them made the Xuanmen warlocks around them stunned, looking at each other, at a loss, and they all asked the leading Daomen master for ideas.
Before everyone could discuss what the result was, a gate located in the south of the four suspended halls suddenly opened with a bang, and between the billowing black gas, two strange figures with a height of more than three meters appeared in it, and then slowly floated down from the main hall, and in the blink of an eye, they crossed a distance of dozens of meters, and appeared in front of the Xuanmen Warlock who was on guard as if he were facing a great enemy.
At this time, everyone could see clearly what the two figures who came out of the black hall on the south side looked like.
I saw that these two humanoid beings were covered in black qi and tumbling, with the same strange aura as the black giant peak and the black hall. However, they are indeed people, not hideous demons. One of them was wearing a black robe, which seemed to merge with the black qi around him, while the other was wearing a white robe, which contrasted strongly with the black qi.
These two people are about one meter seven or eight tall, and they both wear pointed high hats on their heads that are almost the same as their height, which is simply indescribable, which is why the Xuanmen Warlocks thought that the two of them were more than three meters tall when they first appeared. On their high peaked hats, some characters were written in a very strange script, and although none of them knew it, everyone felt the terrifying power contained in it!
In addition to the strange costumes, the two men in black and white each held a peculiar stick about six feet long, which was divided into two parts from the middle, and the back was a part that resembled a handle. In front of it are countless slender talisman-like slips of paper extending from the sticks, and the slips of paper are also filled with strange characters that no one recognizes. The tip of the stick was sharp like a spear, and it shimmered with a cold light.
This strange big stick was held in the right hands of these two men, one black and one white. In their left hands, there are black iron hooks and chains, which make people tremble at the sight.
It's just like this, two people who are black and white, with extremely strange costumes, appeared in front of the Xuanmen Warlocks who were left on the ground in the Netherworld!
As one of the seven people who discovered this mysterious world at the beginning, the Daomen master who led the team was thorough, and Wang Xuanfu and others were all between him, so he naturally wouldn't be too afraid of these two weirdos. He stepped forward and asked sharply what the identities of these two people were, where they came from, what their intentions were, and whether they had harmed the people who had entered under the Black Giant Peak before......
The two strange men, one black and one white, did not answer, but a warlock recognized them and shouted in horror, "They...... The two of them are the servants of the two high-ranking people who led the team into the underground of the Black Giant Peak! ”
This time, it was immediately fried. Everyone was shocked and discussed, and even the Taoist who questioned the strange man could not control the surprise in his heart.
At this time, the two people, one black and one white, spoke.
"I am black and impermanent."
"I am impermanent."
Then they said in unison: "They are both servants under the throne of the Yin Si Yama Divine Monarch. ”
The voice is as cold as hell, as if it comes from the deepest underground, which makes people's hearts chill.
Black Impermanence...... White impermanence...... Black and white impermanence? ? Yama Divine Monarch? What are these things?
The people were all inexplicable and nervous.
"The Yin Division is the Division that governs the entire Netherworld, and the Yama Divine Monarch and the Jizo King Bodhisattva are both the lords of the Netherworld. The catastrophe of heaven and earth is coming, and mortals such as you will either surrender quickly or ...... Reduced to fly ash. ”
The black and white impermanence and indifferent eyes were indifferent, and their voices did not have a trace of human emotion, cold and ruthless......
Finally, the small group of Xuanmen warlocks who remained on the ground finally figured out that it must be the group of people who entered the underground of the Black Giant Peak and found something they couldn't understand underground, and then they all turned into this weird appearance, established the so-called Yin Division, and gained incomprehensible power. The master who led the team to explore should be the "Yama Divine Monarch" in the mouth of this black and white impermanence, and the master who belonged to the Buddhist Gate should be the "Jizo King Bodhisattva".
Such an ending and change was something that no one expected at the beginning!
The Dao Sect Master who stayed on the ground was furious, and he used his powerful Dao Technique to fight these two guys who claimed to be black and white. But he was shocked to find that although he had an overwhelming advantage and upper hand one-sidedly, he couldn't kill these two demonic guys. Finally, in the midst of a tingling laughter, Black and White Impermanence returned to the suspended hall and closed the door.
The Dao Master tried to attack, but found that all Dao magic powers were like mud cows entering the sea, and they were absorbed cleanly by the four black stone halls, without any effect. It was obviously a mysteriously powerful formation-like existence that was beyond the scope of his power......
In desperation, he could only lead the remaining Xuanmen Warlocks out of the range of this black giant peak in abrupt terms. Prepare to return to the place where you came at once, and return to the yang world immediately. But when I got there, I was horrified to find that the way back had been completely blocked!
The so-called Yin Si seems to be able to affect the entire heaven and earth of the Yin Realm, and is forcibly blocking the passage between the Yin and Yang Realms! In the end, they really trapped all of them in this mysterious and terrible netherworld, and there was no way to return to the yang world. However, the only consolation is that the more powerful warlocks can still communicate between yin and yang through some kind of secret method.
They told Wang Xuanfu, Zhang Daoling, Ge Xuan and others who stayed in the Yang World about the changes in the netherworld, hoping that they could come up with some solutions.
When Wang Xuanfu and the others in the yang world learned of this, they were all shocked, and they couldn't come back to their senses for a long time, and they didn't expect and accept the actions of people to explore the whereabouts of Nuwa and the Fuxi tribe for thousands of years, and the final result was actually like this.
Not only did they fail to find the whereabouts of Nuwa and the Fuxi tribe, but they also inexplicably damaged a large number of Xuanmen warlocks in that mysterious world. The most terrifying thing is that most of them have become inhuman and ghostly, and they have also set up something called "Yin Si". Judging from all kinds of words and deeds, it is obvious that he has been affected by something unimaginable under the black giant peak......
After some discussion, it was decided to try to find a way to try to forcibly open the Yin and Yang passage closed by the Yin Si and rescue the trapped Xuanmen Warlocks. But people are not as good as heaven, and just when they were ready to try, the five demons of heavenly punishment inexplicably began to riot!!
The demon of yin, the demon of blood, the demon of evil flame, the demon of miasma, the demon of killing. This is the full name of the Five Demons of Heavenly Punishment born from the dark side of Heaven and Earth!
They have reappeared in the world, slaughtering living beings, destroying cities, and dying......
As a result, Wang Xuanfu and the other three had to give up their trip to the netherworld. They told the Dao Master who was trapped in the Netherworld, telling him to hold on for a while, leading the other Xuanmen Warlocks to live for the time being, waiting for their rescue operations. However, the group of people who remained in the netherworld did not wait for ......
Because since then, some terrifying news has been coming out of the Yin Division, and then from the Yin Realm to the Yang Realm! The Xuanmen Warlocks who were trapped in the Netherworld, under the leadership of the Daomen master, built small cities in the vast world of the Netherworld, and men and women of the right age began to form partners, preparing to reproduce and pass on their respective sects in the Netherworld. At the same time, Yin Si also constantly sent people to persuade them to surrender, and also told them that there was a terrible secret between Yin and Yang, and there was a terrifying catastrophe hidden to the extreme. And the devastating catastrophe of heaven and earth is coming, and only by returning to the Yin Division can we avoid it together......
Of course, among them, there are many complex stories and events, which cannot be known to future generations one by one.
And in the seventh year when the mysterious and evil Yin Si was established and they were trapped, Wang Xuanfu and Zhang Daoling of the Yang World fought fiercely against the Yin Demon in Qingcheng Mountain, and finally the Yin Demon disappeared with serious injuries, and the two Daomen masters also fell with double injuries. Only Ge Xuan was left to lead the people in the Xuanmen to support, not only to face the remaining four demons of the five demons punished by heaven, but also to face the catastrophe of heaven and earth!
That was the first time that the people in the Xuanmen had heard of the existence of the so-called "catastrophe", and they didn't know much information, and they didn't even have any corresponding feasible plans. Everything is in the clouds, mountains and fog, and it can only constantly analyze and pick up the small amount of information that is transmitted from the netherworld to the yang world......
Just when Ge Xuan was exhausted, he thought that there was no way to support it. When the world was about to face a catastrophe and devastation, a mysterious person suddenly appeared.
This person, even Ge Xuan didn't know his origin and identity, he appeared so suddenly, with an incomparably powerful spell! is stronger than Ge Xuan, as well as the dead Wang Xuanfu and Zhang Daoling.
Because of his Dao technique, it is actually similar to the power of the ancient period. It is a force that belongs to the mythical era in Chinese history! He is not only proficient in all the Taoist techniques of metaphysical Wumai Mountain medical fortune divination, but also has a different power from the so-called "Taoist technique", which is even more powerful.
It is precisely because of the appearance of this person that the world, which was already seen as having no way to save it, has finally survived. This mysterious unknown man single-handedly turned things around. Not only did he injure all the remaining four powerful demons in the Five Demons of Heavenly Punishment, so that they could no longer do evil in the world, but also successfully resisted the catastrophe of heaven and earth......
When I heard this, I was already shocked beyond words!
One person, single-handedly, carried the first catastrophe in history. Not only did it injure the five demons of Heavenly Punishment except for the other four demons of the Yin Evil Realm, but it also resolved the calamity from the netherworld. This...... Could this person be the true immortal god in the legend?
Look at me dumbfounded. The father-in-law showed a smile: "Jiang Ming, my father's reaction when he heard about this matter was not much better than yours." I was thinking in my heart, is that person much stronger than Wang Xuanfu, Zhang Daoling, etc.? But then I found out that it is still debatable whether such a mysterious person really existed in history......"
"Oh?" Hearing my father-in-law say this, I was a little puzzled again.
Because there is no record of this person in any historical documents or Taoist classics. It only exists in the circle of a very small number of people, and it is passed on by word of mouth. How the catastrophe was avoided at the beginning has not yet been conclusive and true, and it is all speculation. ”
I nodded slowly and asked the question I'd always been most curious about: "Father, what about that...... What exactly is the so-called catastrophe? Heaven and earth catastrophe, catastrophe, spiritual catastrophe, etc., are they all the same thing? ”
"Tribulation, this word, was actually discovered from the Netherworld, and it only began to appear after the establishment of the Yin Division. At that time, those two Xuanmen masters didn't know what strange things they found under the black giant mountain in the extreme west of the netherworld, and they actually established the Yin Division, and they wanted the rest of the people to submit to them. After the rejection, it was a stalemate. At that time, the Yin Division had just been established, and most of its members probably still had a hint of humanity, and even after being rejected, they would still share a lot of information with the people who had established villages on the surface of the Netherworld. And robbed ...... That's what the people of the underworld told them! The so-called catastrophe, according to the information that has been passed down from generation to generation, should be a strange force! From the deepest part of the underworld of that black mountain......"
The legendary calamity is a strange force from the deepest part of the underworld!
I looked stunned and said, "That means that the catastrophe that made the people in the Xuanmen Spell Realm frightened was caused by Yin Si?" ”
The stepfather shook his head and said, "Of course not, otherwise, Yin Si wouldn't be as scared as we are." According to the speculation of the masters of the Yang Dao Sect and my personal opinion, Yin Si should have been built on some kind of more ancient ruins, most likely left by the Nuwa and Fuxi tribes. The group of people who entered the underground exploration of the Black Giant Peak at the beginning were inherited, but they were blinded by the power and established the Yin Division. But they obviously couldn't fully gain that power, and there must be secrets in the deepest part of the Yin that they didn't know. The calamity that occurs every once in a while is probably one of them. That kind of weird power that can be perceived but cannot be captured rises from the deepest part of the Yin Division, rapidly spreads to the entire Yin Realm, and finally spreads to the Yang Realm. When this strange power begins to appear, first of all, those ghosts collected by Yin Si will be restless, and ordinary souls that are not powerful ghosts will also become powerful ghosts in large numbers, and they will be busy suppressing them. The second is that the demons and monsters that live in the netherworld will also be controlled and become bloodthirsty and crazy, attacking everything they see. They ravage the netherworld and endanger the yang! ”
After listening to my father-in-law's words, pictures suddenly appeared in my mind. The two worlds of yin and yang are connected, powerful ghosts are rampant, demons are ravaging, and the Xuanmen warlocks are fighting fiercely with them, which is indeed a bit terrifying, but it shouldn't be serious enough to make the Xuanmen magic world so frightened, right?
I was a little puzzled: "Father-in-law, I'm afraid it's more than that, right?" ”
"That's right, if it's just the ghosts and demons running rampant, of course, it won't make the Yin and Yang worlds so frightened. The most important thing is that when the calamity comes, the strange power spreads to the yin and yang worlds. Some warlocks lose most of their strength, many are even weaker than ordinary people, and many of them will lose their minds like demons and attack everything they see, which is the real fear. As for the difference you are talking about, it is actually based on the severity of the calamity. In the more than 2,000 years since the Western Han Dynasty, we have gradually discovered some laws and secrets about robbery. This is the most important thing, and it is also the most direct relationship with Jiang Ming! It is also the root of your background and current situation......"
Here comes the most important thing!
I sat up straight and looked at my father-in-law with a solemn expression, waiting for him to tell me the key to all this, waiting for the moment when the answer would be revealed.
Sure enough, what my father-in-law said next shocked my mood greatly. Because this is not only about a long and complicated situation set up by the forces to which my stepfather belongs, but also about my life experience and even my future......
It is said that since the establishment of the Yin Division in the Han Dynasty, legendary figures such as Wang Xuanfu and Zhang Daoling have fallen one after another, and the group of people trapped in the Netherworld can only stay and multiply, and Ge Xuan alone supports the overall situation...... It was not until the final appearance of a mysterious person who could not be sure of its existence that the catastrophe of heaven and earth finally passed, and Chinese civilization could be regarded as escaping the catastrophe and began to get on the right track.
But people found that things are not as simple as they thought. The catastrophe still exists, and it continues to erupt, and finally the law has been summed up.
That is, every twenty years, there will be a smaller-scale outbreak of calamity, which will affect one percent of the warlocks, and a small number of areas will be rampant with evil ghosts and demons. Every 370 years, a larger-scale tribulation will break out, affecting forty percent of the warlocks, and some parts of China and Asian countries will appear out of thin air with powerful ghosts and demons. Tribulations of this magnitude are now collectively referred to as spiritual tribulations, because they are mainly a huge impact on the supernatural magic world, and the harm to ordinary people is relatively small.
The only time that the real one that can be called the Great Tribulation of Heaven and Earth appeared was when Yin Si was first established, and the specific situation is now unknown. However, according to the speculation of the masters through the art of divination, the next catastrophe of heaven and earth was obtained, just three years later!
That is to say, when the tribulation comes three years later, it will not be an ordinary spiritual tribulation once in twenty years, but a great tribulation of heaven and earth! At that time, more than ninety percent of the warlocks in the entire China will lose all their strength, and the warlocks in China's neighboring countries will also be in a state of extreme weakness. Most of the souls collected by Yin Si for more than 2,000 years may mutate into powerful ghosts and get out of control, and the original demons of the Yin Realm will also pour out of their nests, truly ravaging the Yin and Yang worlds. When the time comes, it will really be the time for the lives to be destroyed......
However, what makes people a little less desperate is that as early as the end of the Qing Dynasty more than a hundred years ago, the masters of the Xuanmen magic world had already calculated this matter. Since then, a lot of resources have been being used to prepare. Even though the dynasty has changed twice, these preparations are still ongoing. Of course, this is all done in secret and cannot be made public, otherwise it will inevitably cause great panic.
Moreover, in addition to the preparation of the mainstream to represent the orthodoxy and official identity of China, there are also some Xuanmen masters who are outside the system, and they have also formed a mysterious organization similar to the form of an alliance. This organization was born around the beginning of the Northern Song Dynasty, and it has no name and very irregular members, but it has been passed down from generation to generation......
As for their philosophy and goals, it is even more incredible! That is to fuse the five spirit kings, and then infuse the power of the five veins of metaphysics into the body of a selected person at the same time, so that he can have the power of the five great spirit kings and cultivate the five veins of metaphysics at the same time!!
The people in this mysterious organization believe that if they can succeed, this chosen person will definitely be able to reach the level of the mysterious person who helped Ge Xuan survive the catastrophe during the first heaven and earth tribulation. He will not be weakened by the power of "robbery", and without the hindrance of the five spirit kings, the power of one person can fight against all the powerful ghosts and demons in the Yin and Yang worlds!
Crazy! Crazy indeed!
Create a person who fuses the power of the five spirit kings and cultivates all the Dao techniques of the five veins of metaphysics! Such a person, just thinking about it, feels that there is no difference between him and the immortals. If it really succeeds, it may be able to break through the trick with force, and directly break the danger of the catastrophe of heaven and earth with unimaginably powerful force. It's just that there are more than a dozen branches of the five veins of metaphysics, and there are subtle differences in spiritual power between each other, and the terrifying power of the five spirit kings alone is not something that can be fully accommodated by the human body......
I was so stunned by this crazy idea that I didn't speak for a while. And what scared me the most was that from my father-in-law's description, I seemed to vaguely guess something......
My father-in-law watched my expression change, and only after a long time did he sigh: "Jiang Ming, it seems that you have already guessed it." Father...... It is the leader of the mysterious organization in this era. And you are the one we have chosen. ”
I didn't expect my father-in-law to be so direct, and I was shocked and looked at my father-in-law blankly. His lips opened, but he didn't know what to say, and there was an indescribable emotion in his heart.
I see, that's the case...... I am the one chosen by the father-in-law and the master. In other words, it is a tool that is used to deal with the catastrophe of heaven and earth! I should have yelled, I should have shed tears, but I don't know why I couldn't make any sound.
It's just that I didn't expect this life to be so unpredictable. When I was very young, living in a money shop owned by a master in Two Rivers, I felt that I was no different from other children except for five ugly scratches on my face. When I grew up, I realized that I was different from ordinary people, and I didn't seem to be in the same world as ordinary people. Later, I followed Brother Long, and gradually time passed, and I also enjoyed the feeling of being a member of the Xuanmen magic world, because I could punish some bad people who could not be punished by the world.
But I never imagined that I was actually used as a tool that was "artificially created" to resist the catastrophe that carried the hope of too many people and even the world! It's beyond my imagination and beyond my means.
I...... What is it, exactly?
This problem, which had puzzled me but was eventually overcome by me, reverberated in my mind and plunged me into a state of almost hysteria......
When my father-in-law saw my appearance, his pupils dilated, and his vitality was slowly weakening. A melancholy color suddenly appeared on his face, and his hands suddenly grabbed my shoulders: "Jiang Ming, you...... Do you feel like a tool that has been manufactured? Do you feel like we're all using you to live without love? Actually, it's not! It wasn't me and your master who chose you and manipulated your life, it was fate and providence that chose you! Or rather, choose your family! Jiang Ming, you were not born an ordinary person, you, your entire family were born for this! I am not just your stepfather, I am yours...... Maternal uncle and grandfather! ”
In the face of unbearable facts, my soul was unstable, and there was a faint tendency to disperse and leave my soul. But being shaken vigorously by my stepfather's vigorous shaking and shouting with a Taoist voice, and the contents of it, made me sober up instantly.
"Outside, my grandfather ......" I repeated his words in disbelief, staring blankly into Hong Tianjun's eyes.
Seeing my eyes gradually regaining their vitality, Hong Tianjun breathed a sigh of relief: "That's right, kid, I am your maternal uncle and grandfather, that is, your maternal grandfather's younger brother, and your mother's own uncle!" ”
He let go of the hands that were holding my shoulders: "Originally, I didn't want to tell you about this matter now, because the involvement in it is more complicated. But looking at the way you just looked, I was so worried. Child, you must know that I am your blood relative. How can it harm you and use you as a tool against the great calamity? It's really a helpless move. ”
After Hong Tianjun said these words, he sat there, and his handsome appearance inexplicably showed a hint of old age. In fact, I also thought that maybe he was already relatively old, but he was just relying on his strong Dao skills to maintain his youthful state. But I didn't expect him to be so old and actually mine...... Maternal uncle and grandfather?!
I asked in a trembling voice, "What about ...... What about my parents and my other relatives? Is it still in this world? What's my background? Why did you choose me to be the implementer of your mysterious organization's methods against the Great Tribulation? ”
Hong Tianjun shook his head: "No, child. To be precise, it was your father's clan who chose this method. The mysterious organization I am leading now was actually founded by your ancestors! You don't have the surname Jiang, your real surname should be...... Wind! ”
Wind!
My surname is wind? This truth shocked me again. It seems that tonight, Hong Tianjun told me everything and made me run out of surprises in my life. Because the surname "wind" is too special and too far away from me.
You must know that the surname Feng is one of the oldest surnames in China. According to the records of the "Imperial Century" and the "Bamboo Book Chronicle", the mother of Fu Xi, the head of the Three Emperors and Five Emperors in ancient China, Hua Xu is the surname Feng, Fu Xi is surnamed Feng with his mother, and his wife Nuwa is also surnamed Feng with her husband.
In other words, if you don't consider whether it is correct or not according to the history known by ordinary people, the surname Feng is originally a descendant of the Fuxi and Nuwa tribes!
Hong Tianjun carefully observed my expression, then sighed and said, "Sure enough, it's a smart child, you have already guessed it." That's right, your surname is Feng, and it is very likely that you are a descendant of the Nuwa and Fuxi tribes that created the human race. However, after a long time, it basically has little to do with those two mysterious tribes. At the beginning of the Northern Song Dynasty, a medium-scale spiritual tribulation occurred once every 370 years. At that time, there was a genius among your Feng clansmen who led the Xuanmen Magic Realm to overcome all difficulties and withstand that spiritual tribulation. But it was at that time that this genius discovered a secret. Once, when he was chasing the Miasma Demon, he finally used all his strength to gain the upper hand, only to find that the Killing Demon had arrived, and he actually merged with the Miasma Demon to form a new and terrifying existence that he had never seen before. Startled, he quickly fled...... Although he finally survived the spirit tribulation later, he had an uncontrollable curiosity about the ability of two of the five demons of heavenly punishment to fuse. So, after a long time of exploration, he got a lot of useful information. One of them is the five demons of Heavenly Punishment, which are born of heaven and earth, and it is likely that they will be able to fuse with the unique soul fusion physique of the Feng clan......"
The genius surnamed Feng in the Northern Song Dynasty was my direct ancestor. With wisdom beyond mortals, he discovered the secret of the five demons punished by heaven. The people surnamed Feng have always had a special talent that is now called "Soul Fusion Physique", and they can learn different Dao methods at the same time. He thought of concentrating the power of the five demons of heavenly punishment into the body of a clan with five veins of Qi cultivation, and creating a strong man against the sky to fight against the catastrophe that might occur in the future.
So, he founded a mysterious organization and began to recruit disciples and operate in secret. However, it has been failing, and the power of the Heavenly Punishment Five Demons is simply unbearable for the human body.
And because the surname Feng is the oldest surname in China, it has been scattered throughout China during the Northern Song Dynasty, and the bloodline is very thin. Except for the direct line he was in, it was already difficult for the other side branches to produce a soul fusion physique......
However, fortunately, the Soul Fusion Physique occasionally appears as a natural ability in the bodies of non-Feng clansmen, which also provides a lot of opportunities for this mysterious organization.
However, for thousands of years since the Northern Song Dynasty, they have not succeeded. It can even be said that the hope of success is getting smaller and smaller. Because the more modern it is, not to mention that the entire Xuanmen magic world has declined due to the development of science, as the bloodline of the Feng surname becomes thinner and thinner, the people who fuse the spirit physique are almost extinct. And so it went until my father's generation eighteen years ago......
His family is in extraordinary decline, his parents died early, he has no brothers and sisters, and he doesn't even have much to do with the mysterious organization founded by his ancestors themselves. However, he was very talented, and his Taoism was profound, and by chance he met my mother, the eldest lady of the Hong family at that time.
They fell in love, but something went wrong......
This starts with the history of the Hong family. The already dilapidated Feng family naturally had a prominent history, but the Hong family was not bad. It can even be said that it has a more grand prestige in the official mainstream Xuanmen magic world!
Because, the three clears of the religious office are hereditary! Whether it is called a religious office in this era, or the ten secret services in the Republic of China, or the sticky pole of the Qing Dynasty, or even the corresponding official supernatural organization in the ancient dynasties...... Located at the highest peak, Sanqing is forever maintained by three ancient Taoist families. And the Hong family is one of them! (To be continued.) )
