Chapter 3: The Secret of Creation

In the script, the people in the Demon Sect never call themselves "our Demon Sect", but they want to call themselves "our Holy Sect". Only Orthodox people would call them "demon cults" in contempt. Ordinary characters on both sides of the rivers and lakes dare not provoke, nor dare they mention the word "Demon Sect" in front of the people of the Demon Sect, at most they muttered two sentences behind their backs.

In the same way, "secret association" is the definition of the Daomen for all kinds of ghosts, snakes, and gods, not their own definition of themselves, so Qi Xuansu opened his mouth with a sentence of "secret association", which made the people of the "Heavenly Court" who were already suspicious of Qi Xuansu being a person of the Daomen identify Qi Xuansu as a person of the Daomen.

It is difficult for those who have never had Taoist experience to grasp the disdain and contempt hidden between the words "secret association". If it is really an ordinary Jianghu person, not to mention being in awe, he must be a little dignified and say: "It turned out to be a hero of the 'Heavenly Court'." ”

Who made the Daomen powerful?

The "Heavenly Court" did not dare to openly oppose the Daomen like the Purple Light Society, the Zhiming Sect, and the Lingshan Witch Sect, but they still had the courage to deal with one or two lone Daomen disciples.

It's a pity that he met Qi Xuansu, after Qi Xuansu got the "Xuanyu", even if he was placed in the Daomen, he could be regarded as the elite elite among the low-grade Taoists, and he also had the power to fight against the lowest-grade four-grade sacrificial wine Taoists among the high-grade Taoists, and he couldn't take it lightly.

After Qi Xuansu solved the "Ding Chou God", he stood in the midst of the rolling storm and did not rush back to the inn lobby.

He can't cross the storm, but staying in the storm for a short time is not too much of a problem, just like a swimmer, it is difficult to cross a big river, it is not difficult to swim by the river for a while, not to mention that there is a courtyard wall to block the wind and sand.

Previously, Qi Xuansu and Qi Niang talked through the Zimu Fu and learned a lot of secrets.

The piece of "Xuanyu" he got corresponds to "life", so he can control the qi and blood that symbolizes vitality, and has the magic derived from flesh and blood, and the martial arts who focus on discovering the secrets of the human body are also so miraculous, so it seems that Qi Xuansu has obtained two inheritances, in fact, the essence of martial arts is body spirit and fist intent, and Qi Xuansu is still very far away from having a martial arts inheritance.

To use the simplest analogy, a person who practices qi may not necessarily be a qi refiner, or a loose person, and it cannot be said that a person who can practice qi has the inheritance of a qi refiner, and there is also an immortal who is known as an all-powerful Qi refiner, not to mention that the Qi immortal includes several other major inheritances.

Of course, "Xuanyu" is not the same, in addition to the "Xuanyu" of life, there are also other "Xuanyu", with different supernatural powers. The same "Xuanyu" can be superimposed, if Qi Xuansu can get another piece of "Xuanyu", the flesh-derived supernatural will be further strengthened, and the blood and qi will also grow, and after reaching the extreme, even if there is only one head left, it can be regenerated wildly, almost immortal.

Not everyone can fuse "Xuanyu", one is a person who cultivates high enough, at least a celestial and human start, and the other is a person who has been specially transformed, such as Qi Xuansu who has a "side heart".

In fact, whether it is "sub-heart" or "Xuanyu", they are all from the creation project ordered by Xuansheng in his early years, that is, the creation of things that are in charge of ghosts and gods, the Taiping Dao is in charge of the affairs of the world, and the Quanzhen Dao is in charge of creation.

The influence of this creation project is extremely far-reaching, from the Lingguan, Sanren, the Eight Divisions, the Tianji Hall, and the Transformation Hall, to the imitation of the poor strange blood, the imitation of the candle dragon blood, the extravagant corpse poison, the soul return incense, the flying boat, the improvement of the mother and son charms, etc., are all the products of the creation project, which has truly changed the development of the world.

This creation project was in charge of the Quanzhen Dao at that time, so in the early wars against the Gu Immortals of the Daomen, it was rare to see the figure of the Quanzhen Dao, even if the Gu Immortals infiltrated Yujing, they were also fighting fiercely with the two deputy masters of the Great True People, and it was the lack of the Great True Beings of the Quanzhen Dao.

Later, Xuansheng reformed the ancestral court and set up nine halls, and handed over the personnel, finance, and etiquette that were originally responsible for the Pingzhang Dazhen to Ziwei Hall, Duzhi Hall, and Ancestral Sacrifice Hall, and handed over the affairs of ghosts and gods to Beichen Hall and Tiangang Hall, handed over the affairs of the world to Shibo Hall and Fengxian Hall, and handed over the creation of things to Tianji Hall and Huasheng Hall.

This is exactly the beginning of the paving of the three paths by Xuansheng, and the next step is to depose the three paths, but I didn't expect the dispute between Buddhism and Taoism to break out in an all-round way, and Xuansheng had to suspend the action of deposing the three paths and comprehensively suppress the Buddhism, making the Daomen a situation where nine halls and three daos coexisted, quite similar to the three provinces and six departments in ancient times, and the purpose of Xuansheng is to depose the three provinces and place the cabinet like the current imperial court, only one step away.

When the Truth Path was in charge of creation, there were many different factions within it, each with different views. There are those that focus on firearms; There are those who value the power of incense; There are also spell talismans that are important; There are also those who specialize in researching all kinds of desolate beast bloodlines, intending to transplant the desolate beast bloodlines into the human body; Or those who specialize in cultivating zombies, intending to drive zombies and ghosts as slaves, etc. There are about a dozen of them.

Xuan Sheng and the earth masters at that time, out of some deep-seated considerations, vetoed some factions, such as studying the human body, intending to copy the true body of the martial arts, and created inhuman monsters. Another example is the study of the bloodline of wild beasts, creating all kinds of half-demons and so on. These factions were either too cruel, unethical, or more difficult and not very practical, and they were all stopped. Eight of these denied factions later defected and continued their own research, which was the forerunner of the Eight Sects of the Secret Society.

There are also small factions or individuals who are under the command of other secret associations, such as the Qingping Society and the Zhimei Sect. Logically speaking, this kind of thing should not have happened, but at that time, the Daomen had to deal with the challenges of Buddhism and had no time to take care of these details, so these people were given the opportunity to betray the Daomen.

In fact, the Sanren also came from one of the factions, and the purpose of this faction was to imitate and mass-produce the immortals, and the result was successful, but because the cost of creating a Qiren was too high and it was not cost-effective, only the semi-finished product of the Sanren was handed down.

In the end, after the Xuansheng was disbanded and the creation project was terminated, its personnel were reorganized into the Tianji Hall and the Huasheng Hall. The two halls are not the same but have similarities, just like the way of the outer Dan and the way of the inner Dan in the Danding.

The study of foreign objects, or "Waidan", is classified into the Tianji Hall. The research focuses on the "inner dan" such as the human body, bloodline, and inheritance, and is classified into the Avatar Hall.

At the same time, the two halls also developed some business functions to solve the problem of insufficient funding for the branches, which somewhat turned various research results into peaceful money and was responsible for their own profits and losses.

After all, in the past, because the funds were too sufficient, there were always people who had some wild ideas, and finally ended in failure, resulting in a great waste of finance.

Qi Xuansu has never heard of these secrets, and even Zhang Yuelu may not be able to know so clearly, but Qi Niang can be like a few treasures, it can be seen that Qi Niang must have been a person in the Daomen in the past, most of them were high-grade Taoists, and the forces behind the Qingping Society are definitely big names in the Daomen.

As for how to stimulate "Xuanyu", Qi Xuansu already knows that it is divine power or incense wish power,

Qi Xuansu also asked some other questions, such as the origin of "Xuanyu", the specific quantity, why it is scattered all over the world, is it possible that it has not been found for 200 years? Or is it that "Xuanyu" has recently appeared? What does Taiping Dao want "Xuanyu" to do? Does Daomen know about the existence of "Xuanyu"? If so, what is the attitude of the Daomen? Is "Xuanyu" related to scattered people?

However, these were all fooled by Qi Niang, Qi Xuansu was quite satisfied to know so much, and the time for the child and mother talisman was limited, so he didn't force more.

In addition, Qi Xuansu also felt the power of the Daomen from Qi Niang's narrative, what he saw was only the tip of the iceberg, the real iceberg was always hidden under the water, at first glance, the Huasheng Hall was a large pharmacy, and Tianji Hall was a large weapons shop, who would have thought that there were still these things hidden behind it?

So what about Tiangang Hall, the Shaking Light Division has only been established for a few months, and its power is the weakest, and only Taoist priests have been assigned, and even spirit officials have not been assigned, but the top few divisions are equipped with a large number of spirit officials, and they are directly involved in the war between the Daofu and the Shamanism in the Western Regions.

Thinking that Xuansheng split the affairs of ghosts and gods into Tiangang Hall and Beichen Hall, and split the affairs of the world into Shibo Hall and Fengxian Hall, he also experienced great resistance and had various stories before he finally succeeded.

Especially Fengxian Hall, this is one of the only nine halls that Qi Xuansu has not had any contact, even if it is the ancestral hall, Qi Xuansu has at least heard it in Zhang Yuelu's mouth, if he is transferred to the ancestral hall Requiem Division to guard the tomb, it means that the future ends here.

The word "Fengxian" in Fengxiantang means: "discipline and law", and at the same time has the meaning of rectification. The so-called style and constitution are too thin, suitable for the will, and the clothes are reversed, so that the country is broken and killed, which is innumerable.

Fengxian Hall is probably equivalent to the Dali Temple and the Metropolitan Procuratorate of the imperial court, with exclusive responsibilities to picket and impeach Taoist priests at all levels, identify wrongs, and supervise local Taoist governments. All treacherous villains who form cliques and do evil deeds will be impeached. All Taoist priests who are despicable, greedy, and corrupt will be impeached. Whoever does not uphold the right body is impeached. In the event of a big exam or a small exam, he confirmed with Ziweitang whether he was meritocracious or not, and the grade of the Taoist priest was raised and lowered. Major cases and heavy prisoners will be tried, and a fair judgment will be made with Beichen Tang, and the death penalty of Beichen Hall will be approved. Serve the hinterland, pacify the outside, and each of them acts exclusively in accordance with the edict.

The Sanpin Youyi Taoist priest who was ordered to resign and demoted to one level for abusing his servants was a typical example of being arrested by Fengxiantang.

According to Qi Xuansu's understanding, if he is arrested by Beichen Hall, whether he dies or not in the end is not in Beichen Hall, but in Fengxian Hall. Of course, if he violently resists arrest, it is up to Beichen Hall to die or not.

As for the cult demons, there is generally no chance to go to Fengxian Hall to pass the hall, and Tiangang Hall or Beichen Hall can directly execute them without trial, unless it is a leader with great influence.

However, the final outcome of many major cases still depends on Jin Que's attitude, such as the Jiangnan case, which only went through the motions in Fengxian Hall when the main culprit was convicted.
