Chapter 1: The Three Teachings

In the pure sand of the realm of consciousness, there is an endless desert when you look up.

The scorching sun shone on the crystal non-killing sword prison.

In the prison of the sword, a monk sat cross-legged.

This monk is in his twenties, dressed in a colorful robe, full of Zen relics, rich and heroic, with a lofty appearance, white teeth like silver, and red lips and four directions. The top is flat and the sky is full, and the eyes are beautiful and the eyebrows are clear. There are real heroes in both ears, and he is a talented man with a good body.

Between closing his eyes and chanting, there is a colorless glow behind him, as if he is reincarnated and Bodhi is reborn.

Suddenly, the monk stopped chanting and slowly opened his eyes.

I saw a figure appear in the Sword Prison, and that person was dressed in white, and it was Ye Fan, the number one sword saint in the world.

"You're leaving?" The monk looked at the figure of the Sword Saint and asked, his voice was like Huang Zhong Dalu, calming people's minds.

"That's right, don't worry, come and have a look." The Sword Saint said lightly, but his eyes were full of pity for the common people.

"You don't seem to be as worried as you used to be, don't you wonder who I really am now?" Hearing the Sword Saint's tone, the monk asked.

"No matter who you are, the old man has no ability to restrain you anymore, if you become holy, the blessing of the common people, if you are a demon, the catastrophe of the world."

After the Sword Master finished speaking, he glanced at the monk seriously, and then sighed, and his body dissipated into the void.

Looking at the disappearing figure of the Sword Saint, the fighting qi on the monk's body was released, and the sword prison composed of countless non-killing sword intents began to tremble.

After a moment, the sword intent collapsed, and the sword prison disappeared.

The three-body fruit is repaid from the mortal roots, and the causes and conditions of the six realms are traceless.

It was never my wish to die well, so why don't I cross her.

As the monk's words fell, Tianjingsha disappeared with it.

……

……

The third layer of the Demon Suppression Prison is imprisoned by the most heinous people, so even if the Queen of Heaven grants amnesty to the world, there are prisoners released on the first and second floors of the Demon Suppression Prison, but not a single person is released in the third layer.

In a dark cell, there was a woman whose hands and feet were chained by fine steel chains, and her body was also blocked by 36 death points and 72 large points, which were also blocked by demon slaying nails, and the pipa bone was pierced by two cold iron hooks and sickles, and was hung in the air.

The woman's diet was fed by a supervising person, and a catheter was inserted into her body to facilitate her release.

In addition to the maidservants who come to bathe the woman every half month, the woman is monitored by eighteen photogenic masters for twelve hours.

The woman's eyes were closed tightly and motionless, and if it weren't for the faint sound of breathing coming from time to time, some people would definitely think that the woman was a dead person.

At the moment when the monk left Tianjingsha, the woman seemed to feel something, opened her eyes, the corners of her mouth were slightly raised, and her eyes were like infatuation.

……

……

Time is the best cure for a broken love.

Don Ji didn't know if he was really in love.

He didn't know if Xue Chuqing really had amnesia, or if he was pretending to have amnesia.

If Xue Chuqing is pretending to have amnesia, then on the shore of Xizi Lake, Tang Ji clearly feels the watery tenderness from Xue Chuqing.

It's been three months since the end of the Sword Tasting Conference.

In the past three months, Don Guy has been sad, autistic, and depressed.

But one day he suddenly let go, and for no reason, in Buddhist parlance, he was enlightened.

If you want a person to grow up quickly, then let him fall out of love, preferably the heart-wrenching kind.

After Tang Ji became enlightened, he decided to inherit his destiny, so after saying goodbye to Kong Zhaolin and others, Tang Ji and Xiaode went to the Yanbing Tower, and the owner of the Yanbing Building tailored a Xuanbing Armor for Tang Ji. After that, the two took a boat all the way east and came to Lingnan Road.

……

……

On this day, Tang Ji and Xiaode came to a bookstore in Jingzhou City, and the two found a window seat to sit down and waited for the storyteller to speak.

In the Datang Jianghu, if you don't have a family sect, and you don't have the silver two to go to the Xingchen Pavilion to buy information, and you want to get the latest developments in the rivers and lakes, then you have only one place to go.

Library.

It is rumored that Xingchen Pavilion will divide the latest developments on the rivers and lakes into two categories every day, hot and cold, A, B, C, D, and then spread them to branch halls all over the country

Most of those storytellers are from the Star Pavilion, and they will select the information they need according to the environment of their town every night, process it, and use it as the content they say in the library the next day.

Although Tang Ji has the Star Order in his hand, there are too many new things that happen every day in this Jianghu, and Tang Ji doesn't know where to start.

Therefore, Tang Ji still prefers to go to the library to learn about the latest Jianghu trends.

Although three months have passed since the death of the Sword Saint Immortal, the storytellers in the major bookstores now like to talk about the story of the Sword Saint Ye Fan, who scared away countless masters in the All-Nature Hall with one drink, and defeated the two demons with one enemy and two defeats.

……

……

“…… A generation of sword saints passed away, which is really the misfortune of the rivers and lakes and the misfortune of the Tang Dynasty. ”

"The "Three Teachings Treatise" conference that was supposed to be held in September and presided over by the Sword Saint Ye Fan also had to be put on hold for the time being, but Xiao Lao'er received news that the "Three Teachings Treatise" would be held in Quanzhou City on December 20, thirty days later, and would be presided over by the first detective Di Renjie himself......

There is a legend of "one government, two halls, three religions, four families and five factions" in Datang.

The so-called Yifu refers to the Tiance Mansion, which was established by Emperor Taizong and is located in the Shendu, and is the only organization that can not abide by the agreement and get involved in the rivers and lakes and the court at the same time.

The two halls refer to the two major organizations in the rivers and lakes, the Haoran Hall and the All-Nature Palace.

The three religions refer to the three major ideas of the Tang Dynasty, Confucianism, Taoism, Buddhism, and the ten ways of the Tang Dynasty, all of which have temples, Taoist temples and academies.

Among the three religions, Confucianism pays attention to the application of the world and actively joins the WTO, and most of the civil and military officials of the imperial court are influenced by Confucianism; During the Gaozu period, Lao Tzu was respected as the ancestor, so Taoism once became the first major religion in the Tang Dynasty; During the Taizong period, Taoist masters Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng calculated that only the holy weapons of the Buddha Township in the Western Regions could resolve the catastrophe of the world, making Buddhism widely spread in the Tang Dynasty.

The so-called three monks have no water to eat.

In order to make the three religions peaceful, His Majesty Taizong decided to hold the "Three Religions Treatise" conference to determine the ranking of the three religions, and awarded the Tai'a Sword, which ranked second among the ten famous swords of the pre-Qin Dynasty, to the winner of the Three Religions Treatise as a sacred relic of the Three Religions.

The "Three Teachings Treatise" conference is held every ten years.

Since the various sects and sects in the rivers and lakes will be more or less related to the three religions, it has become another question who will preside over the "Three Religions Treatise" conference.

Because the Sword Saint Ye Fan specializes in the way of the sword, and is upright and upright, he will not favor any side, so the past four conferences of the Three Sects have been presided over by the Sword Saint.

However, the Sword Saint Immortal passed away three months ago, and there was no one who could have the prestige of the Sword Saint in Datang for a while, so the "Three Sects Treatise" conference had to be postponed.

The high-level of the three sects had more and more opinions on this, and in desperation, Admiral Tiance could only invite Di Renjie, the first detective whose reputation was no less than that of the Sword Saint, to preside over the "Three Sects Treatise" conference.

The person with the highest prestige in the rivers and lakes is undoubtedly the Sword Saint Ye Fan, but there is one person in the court whose prestige is not inferior to the Sword Saint, and this person is Di Renjie, who is known as the first detective of the Tang Dynasty.
