Chapter 367: All Beings Believe in Their Wishes
Zhao Xiao traveled all the way west to the south and saw too many tragic situations in the world, but he didn't intervene, just watched coldly, and let the world bring disaster and blessing on himself.
The fall of the Yaochi Kingdom is imminent, but the King of Baixiang still hasn't appeared, which is somewhat in Zhao Xiao's expectations.
Zhao Xiao and the King of Baixiang are destined to have a battle, rather than wasting their minds in the Yaochi Kingdom, it is better to concentrate on dealing with this life-and-death confrontation.
Or, from the very beginning, King Baixiang never took Yaochi Kingdom to heart. He has always only used the Yaochi country to satisfy his desire for pleasure, the rise and fall of the country, the dispersion of vassals, and the suffering of the people, these are all insignificant things for the king of Baixiang.
Zhao Huang and the King of Hundred Phases have only fought once, and the two are not familiar with each other at all, but walking in the withered and decaying Yaochi Kingdom, Zhao Huang can vaguely glimpse the state of mind of the King of Hundred Phases through the world.
Unlike Chihiro's insatiable greed, the Momoxiang King demands that everything run according to his own mind, and if anyone goes against his wishes, his response is very simple, which is to destroy it.
Even though Zhao Huang often said that the Immortal Dao was a selfish achievement, but like the King of Hundred Phases, his selfish heart swelled to the extent that it could not be increased, and he still saw it for the first time. Compared with Liang Tao, who is also very selfish, King Baixiang can't tolerate anything in his heart at all, and he only has himself.
Perhaps this can also explain why Liang Tao ascended to the altar at the beginning, and the king of Baixiang was obviously in Yaochi country, and he had to come thousands of miles to disrupt the situation.
For the king of Baixiang, he and Liang Tao are regarded by the world as the peak of Kunlun, which is equivalent to someone beyond the scope of their own selfish heart, and the king of Baixiang is destined to be Liang Tao who can be compared with himself. On the contrary, Liang Tao himself understands this.
And the appearance of Zhao Xiao greatly shook the selfishness of the king of Baixiang. Zhao Xiao cut off one of his arms, not only severely damaging his body, but shaking his state of mind first.
This kind of thing is absolutely unbearable for the king of Baixiang, and a person who can only tolerate himself in his heart is of course impossible to accept failure.
In Zhao Xiao's view, the strength of the King of Hundred Phases is precisely because of his selfish state of mind that does not tolerate foreign things, and along with the continuous victories of the King of Hundred Phases himself in the past, he polished his state of mind to be indestructible, which in turn made the King of Hundred Phases continue to improve his mana.
Therefore, compared with the method of cultivating immortals, which pays attention to the cultivation of the spirit and the cultivation of qi, the double cultivation of life, and the refinement of the second stage, the king of the hundred phases seems to be physically strong, but in fact pays more attention to the polishing of the state of mind, and finally achieves the realm of the heart is better than the object and the transcendent is holy.
In the eyes of most immortal cultivators, the cultivation method of the Hundred Phases King is simply unreasonable, but Zhao Xiao can indeed comprehend some subtleties.
It is precisely because of the continuous expansion of this kind of solitary desire that the profound cultivation of the Hundred Phases King is not a great mana that calls for wind and rain and instigates yin and yang, but a powerful body that is equally indestructible and idealistic.
As long as the state of mind is not lost, this body will not be destroyed, and it will not be destroyed, which is completely different from Zhao Xiao's access to heaven and earth, and the creation of the underworld, which can be said to be two sides that are almost opposite.
Looking at the troubled capital, Zhao Huang now finally understands why Dongdan Yuanjun said that the current king of Baixiang is difficult to kill. Because the solitary heart of the King of Hundred Phases cannot tolerate external objects, correspondingly, it is almost impossible for external forces to harm the body of the King of Hundred Phases. ….
During the first battle of the Earth Lung Mountain, there was still a flaw in the mood of the King of the Hundred Phases, and this flaw was precisely because he witnessed Liang Tao's ascension to the altar and was exposed when the King of the Hundred Phases knew that he was insufficient, which enabled Zhao Xiao, who was blessed by the mana of the Immortal Family, to hit him hard.
But over the years, the king of Baixiang has often retreated, and his mood is probably becoming more and more firm and profound.
Not to mention that the king of Baixiang has been reckless and has been in trouble for a long time, his selfish heart has been expanding endlessly, and one day he will overturn the heavens and the earth, and for this alone, Zhao Xiao will also behead him.
It's just that even if Zhao Xiao's mana cultivation is now complete, he can't even find a way to deal with the King of Hundred Phases.
Fortunately, Dongdan Yuanjun once reminded Zhao Huang and asked him to go to the land of the mountains at the source of the Xihuang River to pay homage to the fairy mother of Guishan.
Leaving the capital of Yaochi State, Zhao Huang traveled west alone, upriver along the river, and came to the land of the mountains at the source of the river.
The mountains and snow-capped peaks are inhabited and inhabited, and they are born
Spirits are also rare, and even plants and trees are gradually thinning. Although the mountains in the Western Wilderness are high enough to reach the sky and full of pure energy, because of the scarcity of vitality, there is no immortal cultivation sect placed here, only a few monks and the cave of the Great Demon.
But even so, Zhao Huang went up the river along the river, and he would occasionally see the stone carvings of the statue of Our Lady of Yaochi on both banks, most of which had been destroyed, and the rest had become unrecognizable and indistinguishable because of the strong wind blowing by the snowy peaks of the mountains.
In ancient times, the rivers flooded, the flood waves were endless, the Yaochi Guishan Fairy Mother had opened up the cave to store the water of the river in the source of the Xihuang River, so as to avoid the downstream sentient beings being affected, such supreme merit, the Guishan Fairy Mother was worshiped by all the people is not an exaggeration.
Zhao Xiao was not in a hurry, and when he saw the Turtle Mountain Fairy Mother along the way, he would worship and brush away the ice and snow dust. Dongdan Yuanjun asked him to pay homage to the Turtle Mountain Fairy Mother, but he didn't say where to go, nor did he mention how to pay homage, which was another test when he thought about it.
In this regard, Zhao Huang did not play any tricks, and he said that he would be sincere and pious, and he would thank the Holy Mother of Yaochi for saving the world, and worship the great virtue of the Fairy Mother of Guishan. Whether it is from a member of the world, or a post-graduate of the Xuanmen Immortal Dao, Zhao Xiao should be respectful.
Standing in front of the statues of stone carvings, Zhao Xiao can realize the traces left by the years in the heavens, the earth, mountains and rivers, these statues and stone carvings carry the sincere wishes of countless believers throughout the ages.
But whether it is the Holy Mother of Yaochi or the Fairy Mother of Guishan, how many practical responses do they have in the face of thousands of years of mortal faith? In Zhao Xiao's view, I am afraid that there are very few, these statues and stone carvings do not have a spirit to descend, and the people of the western soil are simply worshipping to a pile of spiritually detached earth and stones.
Zhao Huang let go of the form of the gods, and he could sense the pious prayers of countless believers, whether for health and longevity, or for the birth of children, or for the prosperity of the family...... Thousands of years have been accumulating, and all kinds of things are presented in front of Zhao Xiao's eyes, and he can't help but avoid it in the slightest.
But Zhao Xiao did not shy away, he just silently observed, and his faith was like snow falling on the mountains, condensing into glaciers over the long years, and then melting into snow water, flowing down along the mountain-shaped terrain, nourishing all living beings.
"I see."
Zhao Xiao's question was answered, and all the people of the West have believed in Our Lady of Yaochi for many years, but they have not received a practical response, no matter how pious they are, their long-term efforts have not been rewarded, and people's hearts will eventually be scattered. ….
However, in the western land, all the people believe in the Holy Mother of Yaochi and occasionally have spiritual deeds, except for the impersonation of demons and ghosts, and its spiritual deeds are probably the self-dedication of all living beings.
In other words, it is the sentient beings themselves who are truly blessed and protected.
This situation will not appear out of thin air, Zhao Xiao can be sure that this is the great mana exerted by the Turtle Mountain Immortal Mother.
Zhao Xiao, who realized this, no longer walked blindly. Snow is ice, ice melts into a river, not only the creation of heaven and earth, but also the Guishan fairy mother left a guide to all beings in the world, can understand the mystery, then consciously introspect, without blindly kneeling and kowtowing in front of the statue stone carving.
With a clear thought, Zhao Xiao casually found a grotto shrine and sat down, the shape of the god and the mountains of the source of the river were naturally in harmony, and his mind flowed with the water vapor of the ice and snow rivers. The true spirit is like a brilliant pearl of light, rolling down the river, traveling for thousands of miles, merging with thousands of weather, and finally merging into the sea.
The pearl did not sink into the waves of the ocean, but came out of it in one fell swoop, washed away the lead, restored its original appearance, hung high in the sky, illuminated the universe, and returned to the source of the mountains again.
The millet beads fell, and they turned into Zhao Huang again, and although there were high mountains and snow peaks as far as the eye could see, it was a different scene.
At a very high place, the fairy glow is long, Ruicai dissolves, and the fairy palace pavilion can be faintly seen. And between the peaks and mountains, the Qingluan empty song, the colorful phoenix dancing, the white crane long, and the yellow bird chanting are all rare spiritual birds in the world.
Zhao Xiao looked back, the ordinary grotto shrine is no longer visible, the mountain behind gradually flattened, along the line of sight, the unicorn crawling cui, Pixiu stone, the fierce ring, the golden ape picking fruit, are also extinct beasts.
In the distance, you can faintly see the populated villages, where the people are cooking jade and gold, beating festivals and singing, and they are free from worries and sorrows.
Eyes continued to extend, Zhao Huang saw the vast and boundless ocean, without being told by others, Zhao Huang naturally knew that this vast sea was Yaochi.
"So, this is Kameyama?" Zhao Xiao looked at the peak immortal palace again.
At this time, I saw a green luan slowly flying down, and the sound of piano music emanated between the wings, calming the mood and stabilizing the mood.
"Zhao Xianyou is really extraordinary, we guessed before that you might want to ascend to the back of the Heavenly Emperor's throne before coming to Yaochi Turtle Mountain." Qingluan spoke, "I didn't expect you to be able to penetrate the test left by the fairy mother and appear here directly."
"The fairy mother's magic method is mysterious, and I am just a fluke." Zhao Xiao replied.
"There is no need to say that." Qingluan flapped his wings, stretched his body, and said, "By the way, I want to thank you in advance for leaving a legacy for Fengming Valley."
"Your Excellency is the Patriarch of Fengming Valley?" Zhao Huang saw Qingluan nodding, so he said, "The younger generation doesn't understand the rhythm, so I'm afraid of causing jokes, but I'll repair Fengming Valley slightly. The matter of teaching disciples and teaching the Dharma still depends on the Lu forgetting the opportunity."
After Zhao Xiao and Lu Wangji left the northern frontier, they first went south and returned to the Fengming Valley Dojo. This place was once captured by the king of Baixiang with his troops, all the pavilions and pavilions were destroyed, and there were even demons from the left path who used evil methods to defile the earth, with sinister intentions.
However, these difficulties are not worth mentioning for Zhao Xiao, he practiced the Fa, then reorganized the mountains and rivers and the leylines, and laid out the enchantment array. Originally, he still wanted to directly restore the pavilions in the valley to their original state, but Lu Wangji dissuaded him, saying that he wanted to leave some tests for future generations. ….
Lu Wangji stayed in Fengming Valley to take care of it, and by the way, he went to the vicinity to look for people who were destined for immortal road and qin music, so he did not go to the mountains of Heyuan with Zhao Xiao.
"I'm not afraid of Zhao Xianyou's jokes." Qingluan said: "I see that the world is so chaotic, in fact, I have no intention of reviving the inheritance, after all, I am an idle temperament, and the so-called founding of the sect by later generations was just to meet friends and share elegance with the piano."
Zhao Xiao was not surprised by this, it could be seen from Lu Wangji's temperament that the disciples of Fengming Valley would not take the inheritance of the sect too seriously, if they were really robbed and destroyed, although there were regrets, there was no need to go against the times to maintain the sect.
As for Lu Wangji's willingness to revive the sect now, it is also due to the change in the situation, the Yaochi Kingdom will be destroyed one day, and most of the sects of the Western Soil Immortal Dao will take the opportunity to revive the inheritance.
"I don't understand something." Zhao Xiao looked around, "Am I ascending? How does it feel plausible?"
Qingluan chuckled and replied, "Zhao Xianyou is still in Kunlun Continent, but what he perceives in front of him is the image of Yaochi Turtle Mountain. If you have penetrated the test left by the fairy mother, you will naturally be able to see the cave sky. Moreover, the Fairy Mother opened up a cave at the source of the Xihuang River back then, and even after it was raised, Yaochi Turtle Mountain still had a bit of a mysterious connection with the source of the Xihuang River."
"I see, the younger generation has been taught." Zhao Xiao saluted.
"Okay, let's not talk about that." Qingluan spread her wings and said, "The fairy mother has already known about your arrival, and specially ordered me to come and invite you."
"Lead the way." As soon as Zhao Huang finished speaking, Qingluan's wings fanned, and the mighty wind and waves carried him to the fairy palace at the top of Turtle Mountain.
This Turtle Mountain Immortal Palace is not the expected Qionglou Yuyu, but more like a mountain peak directly carved with great mana, and the walls of the Immortal Palace are like cliffs.
Following Qingluan into the fairy palace, Zhao Huang saw a group of immortals, some of them were ordinary people in the mortal world, some of them were ancient, obviously they became enlightened in ancient times, and some were simply demon fairies who were furry and horned.
[To tell the truth, I've been using @
Guan Dongtian is quiet and inactive, but for some monks, if they can't soar on their own, they are just sheltering from the ancestor of the Immortal Family, not a real leisure. Ling Xiao even regarded the ascension achievement of being led by the immortal family as being trapped in the order.
And after opening up the Heavenly Court, the caves broke the barriers, and the immortal families were no longer constrained, and they could come and go on their own, appreciate different scenery and weather, and even go further in cultivation.
Therefore, it can be said that if Zhao Huang can really ascend to the throne of the Emperor of Heaven in the future and open up the heavenly court, all the immortals will benefit immensely, and this kind of meritorious achievement can be described as great in the world.
"The world's great meritorious achievements need to be supported by the world's great cultivation mana, otherwise it is empty talk."
Zhao Huang was taken to the inner hall of the Immortal Palace by Qingluan, and a majestic woman sitting on the couch seemed to have insight into Zhao Xiao's thoughts and spoke.
