Chapter 734: This Bad Atmosphere Was Brought Up by Sanzang; The face is lost
Li Bai, who wants to wander the world, chose to take over the class of the female Lu Niangniang, guarding the junction of the two continents, in fact, Li Bai made such a choice, which was not expected by Li Shimin and Fahai.
Even from the moment Li Bai stepped into the Northern Desert, everyone tacitly knew about this matter.
Li Bai, who was born in the human race and apprenticed to the sect, will certainly not make the second choice above the righteousness. It's just that such a choice is undoubtedly a very stupid act in the eyes of the other Three Realms races.
Of course, they don't understand the spirit of the human race, especially the Central Plains human race, the female Lu Niangniang 10,000 years ago was able to guard the junction of the two continents, and Li Bai came as a successor after 10,000 years, of course.
Li Bai knew that he was listed as a candidate for the Eight Immortals, but he was not interested in this candidate for the Eight Immortals.
Many times Li Bai even wants to ask, what is the purpose of becoming an immortal?
Is it just for the immortal position of a heavenly court?
Could it be that becoming an immortal is really for the benefit of the Three Realms?
Li Bai was noncommittal on this issue. Perhaps for ordinary mortals, if they become immortals, they will have unprecedented power. But for a cultivator like Li Bai, it doesn't seem to make much difference whether he becomes an immortal or not.
It is even said that in the case of not becoming immortals, they are still freer, and they do not have to be too constrained by the rules of the heavenly court. At the very least, the daily morning pilgrimage can be avoided.
You must know that there is a day in heaven and a year on earth.
In the last early dynasty in the Lingxiao Treasure Palace, let alone a season has passed, if you don't become an "immortal", if you stay in the world as a human monk, you don't know how many useful things you can do in three months.
Therefore, for cultivators like Li Bai and Lu Dongbin, becoming an immortal is really not attractive to them.
Among the eight immortal candidates, except for those who were written by the Jade Emperor to make up the number. Those who are really qualified to become among the Eight Immortals actually have similar problems in this regard.
Only for now, only Fei Changfang alone cannot live forever, but his sense of belonging to Datang is too strong, even if he returns to the throne in the end, I am afraid that he will not honestly stay in Heaven with peace of mind.
Otherwise, the Jade Emperor was a little helpless when he saw the situation of the Eight Immortals now. Obviously, he lit it with his own hand, but in the end, he didn't recognize himself.
And the Buddha of Lingshan also has something to say about this, which is the same as when Sanzang was unwilling to become a Buddha and stay in Lingshan. This kind of bad atmosphere was completely brought up by her Tang Sanzang.
But then again, today's Tang Sanzang, which is the famous Sanzang Holy Buddha in the Three Realms, is not under the Jade Emperor and the Buddha at all for its supernatural powers and cultivation, and is a family of its own in the perception of the Buddha, and people are fully qualified to start a sect.
The Lingshan Buddha did not force Tang Sanzang to stay, but let it go, which became a good story in the Three Realms. Even with the Buddha in the Tang Dynasty, the reputation has risen sharply.
You must know that in the past, in the Tang Dynasty, the tablets or Buddha statues of the Buddha and Guanyin Bodhisattva were placed in front of them, and if they were asked to choose one to incense, they would definitely choose Guanyin Bodhisattva without hesitation.
Now, they think about it a little bit and then go and offer incense to the Bodhisattva.
The people's offerings to incense have always been the most simple. In addition to the eldest of the heavens, the second of the earth, and the largest ancestors and ancestors in fact, it is completely based on the level of the appearance of the immortals and Buddhas.
Especially now that the cultivation world is gradually no secret in the world, if the immortals and Buddhas still don't grasp it, and still don't care about the manifestation of the spirit in the world in the past, it is tantamount to taking the initiative to give up the incense in the world.
For the status of several Eight Immortal candidates, of course, the Jade Emperor also knew that if their hearts could not be recovered, they would not be able to take them back, but the Eight Immortals would eventually return to their positions to suppress the luck of Taoism and Heavenly Court.
If among the eight immortals, there can be a ruthless person like the Sanzang Holy Buddha who stands on his own, then the Jade Emperor really has no means to maneuver.
And now Lu Dongbin has gradually had this sign. Who said that promoting the integration of the three religions was the destiny of Lu Dongbin's reincarnation, but his current situation seems to be very good.
Confucianism has been inherited by Zengzi, and its Confucian knowledge is comparable to that of Confucianism.
Now that Confucianism is Mahayana, he turned around and began to cultivate again, successively studying under the Taoist Zhenxiu Yunyazi Wei Boyang, the nephew of the Heavenly Master Ge Hong, and his friend Li Bai.
Although the former Wei Boyang is not well-known in the Three Realms, his "Zhou Yi Shen Tong Deed" is respected by the monks of the Three Realms as the ancestor of the Danjing, and can be called the "King of the Ancient Danjing".
This Yunyazi senior, of course, also received the guidance of Lao Jun when he was young, so that he could be unique on the "Dan Dao", and wrote this "Zhou Yi Shen Tong Deed", which laid a solid foundation for the development of the Taoist Danding faction;
and the nephew of the latter Heavenly Master, Ge Hong, whose book "Hug Puzi" is also a classic of the Danding faction;
As for his friend Li Bai, Lu Dongbin learned the "Shangqing Huangting Jing".
Lu Dongbin completed his first study of Taoist practice in these three places, and then went up to Zhongnan Mountain, and asked Yun Zhongzi ten years later, Yun Zhongzi said that he had no knowledge to impart, so he recommended Lu Dongbin to go to the Wuzhuang Temple of Wanshou Mountain, and officially worshiped under the door of Zhen Yuanzi.
Zhen Yuanzi, as the ancestor of ten thousand immortals, his cultivation is unfathomable, and only the words heaven and earth are offered in the Wuzhuang view, and his seniority is also terrifying.
Being able to worship under Zhen Yuanzi's door, of course, Lu Dongbin couldn't ask for it, and Zhen Yuanzi, who knew that Lu Dongbin was the reincarnation of Emperor Donghua and was one of the eight immortals in the future, did not avoid suspicion because of this.
Zhen Yuanzi, as the ancestor of the earth immortals who is in charge of the Book of the Earth, is actually unable to leave the Three Realms without authorization, and this important identity is both a protection and a restriction for him.
But Lu Dongbin's arrival made him see some hope, whether it was to pass the book of the earth to Lu Dongbin in the future, and enter the Chaos Xuandu City by himself; Or Lu Dongbin will enter Xuandu City as his successor in the future, that is a good choice.
There are talented people in the Three Realms, these old antiques, because they have touched the bottleneck of the Three Realms early, it is actually difficult to make a qualitative leap in strength cultivation. And they didn't dare to let go of their perception of the Heavenly Dao, after all, they didn't want to be assimilated by the Heavenly Dao.
The more advanced the cultivation, the more careful restraint you must be.
Therefore, it is not impossible for them to be caught up and even surpassed by some talented juniors.
It seems that characters like the Buddha, Guanyin Bodhisattva, Erlang Zhenjun, Sanzang Holy Buddha, and Monkey King are no longer under them, and among the current candidates for the Eight Immortals, Li Bai and Lu Dongbin also have the same potential.
It was only a matter of time before they outnumbered them.
Moreover, this matter is not without precedent, didn't the Xuandu Archmage block the Styx Ancestor in the sea of blood some time ago and beat him violently. Although it is said that the sea of blood is not dry and the River Styx is not dead, but being suppressed by a junior like Xuandu in all directions is no different from death for an old powerhouse like him.
Otherwise, why can't the voice of the Styx Ancestor be heard in the Three Realms anymore?
Isn't it because you don't have the face to walk in the Three Realms?
If it was someone else who defeated him, he could still find an excuse to go to the chaotic Xuandu City to avoid the limelight, but now it's good that it was the Xuandu Archmage himself who defeated him. What can Styx Ancestor do?
I had to hide in the sea of blood and never come out again.
And the result of this can only be said to be his own doing.
It was also the time when the saints left the Three Realms one after another, which made the Styx Ancestor think that there was an opportunity, and he wanted to use the Rakshasa clan he created to officially step onto the stage of the Three Realms, instead of being cowering in this sea of blood all the time.
The name of the sea of blood sounds good, but in fact, it is not a blessed land, but after the great god Pangu opened the world, a cloud of dirty blood in his body fell into the underworld and turned into a netherworld blood sea.
The ancestor of the Styx River is a piece of congenital placenta in this sea of blood, and he was born with two swords, called Yuan Tu and Ah Nose, who are in charge of killing the Dao, and the placenta that gave birth to him has also turned into a twelve-grade blood lotus. It is even rumored that the Water Flag in the Innate Five Elements Flag is also in his hands.
From this aspect alone, the Styx Ancestor can definitely be regarded as the top match among the innate holy spirits of the Three Realms, and these accompanying spiritual treasures are enough to make the two saints of the West cry.
In fact, the Styx Ancestor did not live up to all that he was born with, even in the Zixiao Palace, where the heroes gathered back then, the cultivation of the Styx Ancestor was enough to rank in the forefront.
In addition to the six saints who sat in the first row, the Styx Ancestor could be said to be a close second, able to occupy a place in the second row. And at that time, those who could be in the second row were the first of the three emperors of the demon clan, the demon emperor Jun, the Eastern Emperor Taiyi and the Xi Emperor Fuxi, but when he heard the sermon for the first time, Fuxi had not yet joined the demon clan, and even at that time there was no concept of the demon clan, it was later that Emperor Jun and the Eastern Emperor Taiyi discovered the entrance to the heavenly realm, and discovered the existence of the heavenly palace after the heavenly realm, which created the heavenly court and established the demon clan.
In addition to these three, the Great Immortals of Zhenyuan, Kunpeng, the Eastern Princes and the Western Queen Mother, and the River Styx are also among them, and they are the first echelon below the saints.
Therefore, it is not an accident that the saints left the Three Realms, and the Styx Ancestor had some thoughts that he should not have.
After all, his temperament has never been good.
It can even be said that he is a master of imitation in the Three Realms. And has not left a good name yet.
When Nuwa Niangniang was the first to create a human being and become holy, the ancestor of the Styx River felt something, and also created a human in the sea of blood, and finally created the Rakshasa clan. It's just that compared to the human race created by Nuwa Niangniang, which is very balanced in all aspects, the Rakshasa clan created by the ancestor of the Styx River obviously has a lot of "defects".
Because of the material, the Rakshasa clan is warlike by nature and loves to kill, and cannibalism is the most normal thing.
After Nuwa Niangniang created people and sanctified, the Sanqing and the two Western saints were sanctified by "Lijiao" respectively. But seriously speaking, in fact, their means of sanctification are not so pure.
In fact, a large part of the reason why the Sanqing were able to establish a religion and become holy is because they are incarnated by the Yuan Shen of Pangu, and they have a considerable part of the merits of opening the heavens.
As for the two saints of the West. They belong to borrowing to sanctify, first make a promise, promise what will happen after sanctification. Deception from the Heavenly Dao is to borrow some merit power, supplemented by the method of beheading three corpses to become holy.
There is a more important point, that is, the six of them were able to successfully become holy, or because of the six Hongmeng purple qi, they were able to place their own primordial gods in the Heavenly Dao.
But the Styx Ancestor didn't know that there were so many twists and turns in it, what he could see was that the Three Qing Dynasty and the Two Western Sages established the Great Religion respectively, and sanctified them according to the merits of the Styx Sect
So he followed suit again, and the results speak for themselves.
Although the Asura Sect he established was also recognized by the Heavenly Dao and made very considerable merits for establishing the Sect, it was obviously whimsical to want to become holy based on it.
If Styx stayed honestly in his own sea of blood, he would still be the legendary senior master, and a strong contender for the first person under the saint.
But now, the aura on the Styx Ancestor has been cleaned.
The reason for this is especially the indulgence of the Rakshasa invasion of the human world, which led to the death of many Terran people, of course, which will attract the attention of the Xuandu Archmage, so he personally went to the sea of blood to seek justice from the Styx Ancestor.
It was also the Styx Ancestor who was too presumptuous, and he didn't even take Xuandu, a junior, in his eyes, and "uttered wild words" at that time, saying: "Call your master to talk to me." ”
Master Xuandu said, "Now that I am the leader of the Human Sect, I can just follow me if I have anything, and I don't need to alarm the family teacher." ”
But the Styx Ancestor thinks that the identity of the Xuandu Archmage is not in line with his own, and there is no need for the two sides to talk, and in this battle, the Xuandu Archmage originally came with the idea of Liwei, that is, to let these veteran powerhouses take a good look at it, although Sanqing has left the Three Realms, but there are also people in the Xuanmen who carry the Ding.
It was also this battle that directly wiped out the spirit of the Styx Ancestor, and it can even be said that it cut off the Styx Ancestor's path to enlightenment.
However, such a result, the powers in the Three Realms seem to have expected it, because judging from the blood god son supernatural power cultivated by Styx, they know that he is definitely a life-sparing person. On the other hand, the Grand Master of Xuandu, because he was fighting desperately with the extraterritorial heavenly demons in Xuandu City, had long put life and death aside.
Even the Jade Emperor gave an evaluation on the spot after watching this battle, "You still want to control the killing path like this?" What a waste of two good swords. ”
The power of the three realms, the views on this battle are also very different, in short, the face of the Styx Ancestor was lost to Xuandu, I don't know if I thought it was them who listened to the monks in Zixiao Palace, but that's it. (End of chapter)
