Before Jiazi, it was indeed a long time ago, probably the end of the power of the Four Great Masters and the beginning of the reign of the Five Generations of the Great Masters, and Qingwei Zhenren, as a candidate for the Seven Generations of the Great Masters, was separated by three generations. Such a long time is enough for many Mixin to be buried deep in the pile of old papers.

For example, the results of the investigation of the Fenglinzhou Provincial Mansion, not to mention the Qingwei real people, that is, the real people of the Fenglinzhou Provincial Mansion of this generation have also not known, after all, in the past sixty years, only the real people of the Zhangfu have changed twenty-three, and the great real people of the Zhangfu have also changed twelve, and the chief deputy mansion master, the second deputy mansion master and other deputy mansion masters are also frequently replaced, mainly to prevent the Fenglinzhou Provincial Mansion from hanging overseas to form a trend of separation.

It's just that such frequent inheritance and handover will inevitably produce a lot of omissions. The relevant records should still be kept, but those who are qualified to consult them will not take the initiative to read them, and with the death of all those who experienced it in person, it has become a secret that no one knows.

Qingwei Zhenren asked, "And then?" ”

The Qingfang master said: "There is no complete solution between the Dao Gate and the Holy Court, so they can only strengthen the seal,???????????????? The specific sealing method was in the hands of Ise Jingu and the Imperial Family, and the Toyotomi Prime Minister's Mansion rose too late to be deeply involved in this matter. ”

Qingwei Zhenren was not surprised by this answer, with the style of Daomen, if he could solve it, then he would never invite outsiders to participate in it. Of course, there were other objective factors, such as the relationship between Daomen and the Holy Court was on the rise at that time, relatively close, and there were frequent contacts.

"What is the fire in your mouth?" Qingwei Zhenren asked again.

The Qingfang owner replied: "Actually, the 'Yin Fire' of the Dao Gate and the 'Crazy Fire' of the Holy Court are not accurate enough, they only emphasize a certain characteristic of this flame, and cannot be generalized. ”

"The so-called 'yin fire', this is a term that has long existed in the Taoist classics, specifically referring to the fire tribulation that the immortals will face in the second heavenly tribulation, which burns from under its own spring hole, penetrates the mud wall, turns the five organs into ashes, the limbs are decayed, and the hundred years of ascetic cultivation are all illusory. But at that time, Fenglinzhou Daofu only borrowed the name 'Yin Fire', which does not mean that this kind of flame is the legendary Yin Fire, if all the Yin Fire under Furong Mountain can put immortals to death, then who dares to talk about the word 'seal'? At that time, the reason why the Fenglinzhou Daofu borrowed the name of 'Yin Fire' was mainly to point out that this kind of flame contained a large amount of Yin Qi, which was different from ghost fire and dark fire, which was the essence of flame. ”

】

"As for the 'mad fire' of the Holy Court, it points out the characteristics of this flame, and anyone who is contaminated with this flame will go crazy, and after turning from a human to a monster, his temperament will change greatly, and even the six relatives will not recognize him. In the words of the Holy See, those who are infected with the 'mad fire' have a strong tendency to destroy and self-destruct, and the 'mad fire' can still be stored in people's hearts, like the dark fire of charcoal, which seems to have been extinguished, and as long as the time is right, it can be resurrected immediately, and it is difficult to eradicate it. The Cardinal of the Holy See, who was involved in the investigation at the time, once said: 'Despair and madness lead to 'madness'. ’”

"The reason why I call it an evil fire is not only because it combines the essence and characteristics that the Daomen and the Holy See emphasize, but more importantly, after I became a monster, I discovered some peculiarities that neither the real Daomen nor the Holy See bishop could detect." Yanagi Zongzheng interrupted: "Master, you have already turned into a demon when you participated in this matter?" ”

The owner of the Qingfang folded his hands and said: "That's right, but at that time, I had just turned into a demon, and my demon heart was not heavy, and I could suppress the demon nature with Buddhism and maintain the human form, so I was not regarded as a Buddha demon by Mt. Hiei, so I was able to participate in this investigation." ”

"I see." Yanagi Zong nodded and said, "Master, please continue." ”

The owner continued: "This peculiarity that only youkai can detect is the mind, which is very subtle, hidden in the depths of the flames, almost imperceptible to the living, but for the youkai, it is like a whisper in the ear, demagoguery, tempting people to complete madness and destruction. This kind of whispering, at the beginning, is endless, but it can be pierced by droplets, and the subtle ability is very amazing. As the two of you can see, before Jiazi, I can still maintain my original appearance, after Jiazi, I can only maintain my half-human form, I am already half-human and half-demon. Maybe in another ten years, I will completely turn into a monster and lose the ability to communicate with people normally. ”

That's why I call it the flame of the evil gods,???????????????? Those thoughts hidden in the depths of the flames are like the legendary demon king Bo Xun who specializes in opposing the Buddha, or the Lord of Chaos who fights against the goddess and the supreme will in the legend of the Holy Court, an evil god, and it is by no means comparable to ordinary immortals or immortals, he hides under the Hibiscus Mountain, spraying evil fire every once in a while, corrupting the world, and the yin energy in the flames will remain in the world, and the entire Fenglin Continent will become what it is today. ”

The faces of Qingwei Zhenren and Yanagi Zongzheng both became solemn.

If there is really such an existence below Fenglinzhou, then it is difficult to stay out of the Daomen, Xiangfu, Tianmen, and Fenglinzhou Buddhism.

Qingwei Zhenren was silent for a moment, and said slowly: "The flame needs fuel, the evil god just planted the fire, and the incense wish power generated by obsession, despair, and resentment has become the firewood for the evil fire to burn, and the evil fire will infinitely amplify the effect of the incense wish power." ”

The owner of the green square nodded: "Exactly. Lord Ishishusai mentioned that after every volcanic eruption, ash will fill the earth like snow, and those ashes are the fire sown by the evil gods, falling on the body, becoming one with people, passing on from generation to generation, and will not be extinguished. Moreover, the war will greatly contribute to the spread of evil fire, which is also the reason why there are demons in Fenglin Continent today. ”

Qingwei Zhenren smiled: "The master wants to persuade me to stop the war?" ”

The owner of the green square just bowed his head and did not speak.

Qingwei Zhenren: "This war was not provoked by us on our own initiative, and Shi Zhouzhai has more say in this matter than me." ”

Yanagi Zongzheng said: "For nearly two hundred years, the Toyotomi Prime Minister's Mansion has always been the master of Fenglin Continent, but the Zun faction sought to take the throne and replace the Prime Minister for their own selfishness, and did not hesitate to make a big move, which led to the Prime Minister's Counterinsurgency and Daomen's invitation to quell the rebellion. ”

Although Yagyu Somasa is only nominally a swordsmanship teacher in the Toyotomi Prime Minister's Mansion, he is a dignified swordsman after all, and there are countless disciples, most of whom are in high positions, and the current regent Sekihaku Toyotomi Hideshige can also be regarded as his disciple. Moreover, he has deep friendships with the deceased Da Lao Yi Naodin and others, and has great influence in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and his words can indeed represent the attitude of the Prime Minister's Mansion. This is also the reason why Qingwei Zhenren treats him with courtesy. Qingwei Zhenren took over the conversation: "If we want to cease war and cease peace, it is also the initiative of the Zun faction to seek peace, and it should not be proposed by us." And Daomen is not a word of my Li people, all decisions are made by Jin Que after discussion and research, I am only responsible for the implementation of Jin Que's decision, even if I want to strike the war, I have to report to Jin Que, and Jin Que will decide whether to stop the war. ”

The owner of the Qingfang raised his head and looked at Qingwei Zhenren: "What does the real person mean?" ”

Qingwei Zhenren said calmly: "Stop the war with war, stop with Ge." ”

……

Xiujing Xing Camp.

Zhang Yuelu found a map of Fenglin Continent, and then marked the area covered by ashes on the map according to the records of the four fires.

I don't know if it's a coincidence or not, the ashes of the four fires just covered the entire Fenglin Continent.

In the most outrageous of all, the ashes drifted along the monsoon all the way to the northernmost areas of Mutsu and Ezo.

Zhang Yuelu does not think that this is a coincidence, but has some profound meaning.

Judging from the map, Mt. Furong is located in Kai Province and Suruga Province, close to the Martial ???????????????? Tibet and Ise are also very close, separated only by the Enjiang and Sanhe rivers, which are the places most affected by the ashes. The difference is that no large-scale wars broke out in Musashi, Mikawa, and Enoe, while several major battles broke out in Ise by the army of the Prime Minister and the rebels of the Zunzao faction, and the blood flowed and the bones were full of white bones, so today's Ise is full of yin and evil spirits.

Even if the Daomen army has now entered the territory of Ise, it can only divert the yin qi through hundreds of extra-large "Yin Halberds", which is similar to the principle of flood discharge, and does not really eliminate the yin qi.

Zhang Yuelu has a feeling that these yin qi seem to have existed for a long time, but they are dormant in the ground on weekdays, or somewhere else, such as between mountains and rivers, in the earth's qi, and then under certain conditions, such as large-scale wars and dead people, these yin qi will emerge and combine with death qi and resentment to form a specific environment similar to the ghost country cave.

Generally speaking, under the impact of the huge yang energy of the yang world, the yin energy cannot last long, just like a puddle of water on the ground, it will soon be dried out, but if it is a lake, then the existence time will be greatly extended and will not be easily dried.

Today's Ise is such a "lake" where huge amounts of yin energy converge and can even fight against yang energy, and the only way to forcibly divert and evacuate the stagnant yin energy in this area can only be used by manpower.

People belong to yang, and popularity also belongs to yang, so densely populated cities can also resist the invasion of yin.

Zhang Yuelu raised his head from the map and muttered: "No wonder Jin Que didn't agree to actually control Fenglin Continent back then, this is just a muddy pond, and if you step on it, you will fall into it, and it will be difficult to get out again." ”

"Master Mu." Zhang Yuelu shouted.

Mu Yan immediately walked in: "Deputy hall master." ”

Zhang Yuelu instructed: "Ask Shen Fuli, when will the real person in charge of the army come back?" ”

Mu Yan said: "I asked just now, at the latest, when the son is not at the latest, the real person in charge of the army will return to the camp." Calculating the time, it was almost time for the Deputy Hall Master of Tianyuan to come back at that time. ”

Zhang Yuelu said "um": "After they come back, they will notify me immediately." ”
