Volume 5: The Stroke of God, Chapter 41, The Priest of the South China Sea

The chanting sound of the Xiling Temple stopped, and the chanting and sacrificial sound of these strange people continued, looking at the hats worn by these people and the faint smell of fish on their bodies, the dean of the Heavenly Oracle Academy finally guessed where these people came from, his face suddenly became paler, and without any hesitation, the corners of his lips oozed blood, and he shouted: "The fate of the words is broken!"

This interrupted drink is the first sentence of the first paragraph in the incarnation chapter of the Xiling Canon, which is integrated with his cultivation of knowing his fate and decades of reading the classics, which is naturally extraordinary.

The chanting in front of the altar finally stopped completely, but what made the dean feel a little palpitating was that the chanting of these people did not stop abruptly after his own drinking, but like a fishing song, he pulled out a smooth and sacred long note, and then it ended.

"Six hundred years. The dean of the Heavenly Oracle Academy looked at the dozen or so people in front of the altar, and said with a pale face: "Six hundred years have passed, why do you want to come back?"

Standing at the front of those people was an old man, with a dark face and deep wrinkles, like leather that had been weighed down by a heavy object for a long time, with a short, sparse beard, and a quiet look in his eyes, looking like an old farmer who had read all the joys and sorrows of the world, and more like an old fisherman because of the faint smell of the sea.

The old man said: "We are already a member of the Daomen, why can't we go back to the Xiling Temple?"

The dean of the Heavenly Oracle Academy was silent for a moment and asked, "Please ask for the Dao number." ”

"** sea, from the South China Sea. The old man looked at him and said, "Momoyama convened the Bright Shrine, and it is natural that the Bright Temple should be the main priest, when will it be the turn of the people of the Heavenly Oracle Temple? ”

The guests who participated in the Light Festival today, or the strong people in the cultivation world, or the nobles in the world, all had some understanding of the hidden history of the Daomen, and when they heard this, many people had already guessed the origin of the people, and they were shocked to think, could it really be the descendants of the great priests of the South China Sea?

The Xiling Temple is the center of the Daomen's world domination, headed by the head of the sect, laying the three divine seats of light, heavenly oracle, and judgment. The head of the sect is in charge of the affairs of Yiqiē, and the Heavenly Oracle Grand Priest is responsible for perceiving the Haotian Decree, as well as cultivating the Divine Officer, and the Ruling Great Priest is responsible for maintaining the order of the Daomen, enforcing the canon punishments, and killing the apostate and the cultivators of the Demon Sect, all of which have great authority. Only the Great Priest of Light has no specific affairs, but he is the most transcendent being.

The Great Priest of Light is regarded as the closest mortal to Haotian, and is faintly ranked first among the three major divine thrones, and even has the prestige of being no less than the Sect of Masters, and there is even a saying that before the first year of Dazhi more than 3,000 years ago, the Xiling Temple did not have a Sect of Masters at all, and the appearance of the Sect of Masters was because of the product of the Daomen's attempt to suppress the Bright Family.

In the past thousand years, the three most amazing people in the Xiling Temple have all come from the Temple of Light, and the first one is the Great Priest of Light who went to the wasteland with the Heavenly Book and Ming Scroll to preach, but finally founded the Ming Sect. The nearest one is Wei Guangming, who was imprisoned in the Hidden Pavilion for more than ten years and finally died with Yan Se.

The rest of the one was the owner of the Temple of Light six hundred years ago. The great priest of light, since childhood, jīng studied the Xiling canon, highly respected, had to go to Zhishouguan to read the three volumes of the Heavenly Book, Daomen thought that this person would become the next master of Zhishouguan, but who would have thought that this puppet had a fate, after reading the Buddha's notes, he had some understanding, and began to try to interpret and revise the Xiling canon that had been circulated for countless years.

This was a huge project, and it also made the Daomen feel uneasy, because the canon was given by the believers by Haotian, so how could it be revised at will? At that time, the ruling, the two gods and the head of the sect all opposed his approach, believing that he had gone astray, and eventually the academic differences gradually turned into a struggle for power.

The realm of that Great Priest of Light was unfathomable, no matter the realm of cultivation or debate, he would not be defeated by one enemy or three, and there was an extremely fierce struggle within the temple.

Wei Guangming escaped from the Hidden Pavilion, and Momoyama suffered countless casualties, before that, the civil strife caused by the revision of the canon six hundred years ago was the most tragic history in the history of the Xiling Temple.

The internal strife in that temple was so terrifying that it affected the Daomen's control over the world, and the hidden Zhishou Guan had no choice but to take action, but even the Guan Lord and those hidden elders could not tell who was right and who was wrong, and at this moment, they had to make the most correct judgment they thought.

Daomen did not allow the Great Priest of Light to revise the Xiling Canon again, and invited him and more than a dozen red-clothed priests loyal to him out of Momoyama, but recognized his orthodox status in the same lineage.

The Great Priest of Light left Taoshan and went to the South China Sea to preach, making a great wish, unless Haotian sent a miracle or the Daomen confessed his mistake, he would never set foot on land for the rest of his life!

After that, there was occasional news in the South China Sea of people floating in boats, going back and forth between the small islands, preaching to the unexplored savages. News continued to reach the land, and the preacher was honored as the Great Priest of the South China Sea for many years, until decades later, when news of his death came.

The Xiling Temple has always known that the Great Priest of the South China Sea is the Great Priest of Light who left Taoshan, and when he heard the news of his death, he couldn't help but feel a little sentimental, and left an official tablet for him in the temple.

This is the origin of the Great Priest of the South China Sea.

After the death of the Great Priest of the South China Sea, it was rare to hear the news of someone preaching in the sea, and then there was no news even back to the land, and the Xiling Temple thought that the priests who followed him had long since dispersed or disappeared, and now more than 600 years have passed, and it is even more thought that the bright lineage of the South China Sea has long been broken.

Who would have thought that the Great Priest of the South China Sea would have a successor and return to Momoyama!

The expressions on the faces of the people around the altar were extremely shocked, especially the priests and deacons in the temple who knew about this past, and the expressions on their faces were even more complicated, after six hundred years, these people actually really came back!

Not everyone knows that the lineage of the Great Priest of the South China Sea has not been broken, for example, Ye Hongyu knows very well that Chen Pipi's mother is the descendant of the Great Priest, and the master is also very clear about this matter.

The veil on the god's chariot was slightly flickering, and the tall figure of the master sect leaned forward slightly, he did not speak, nor did he look at the guests of the South China Sea who had returned from afar, but quietly looked at Chen Pipi.

Chen Pipi's body is bleeding half of the blood of the South China Sea, so what do these people from the South China Sea want to do when they appear in Taoshan today?

The dean of the Heavenly Oracle Academy wiped away the blood stains from the corners of his lips, looked at the old man of the South China Sea called ** Hai, and said in a deep voice: "Although you are a member of the Dao Sect, don't forget the oath that the Great Priest of the South China Sea made when he left Taoshan. ”

** Hai Mian said expressionlessly: "I have never had the luxury of expecting you corrupt people who live on Peach Mountain to be willing to admit your mistakes, but since you dare to hold the Light Festival, it naturally means that Haotian has sent down miracles, and we have returned from the South China Sea, where did we break our oath?"

The Dean of the Heavenly Oracles didn't know how to answer.

The sacrifice was suspended, and the Xiling Sect did not finish reading the Fengtian chapter, and the light that had previously fallen on the Baishi altar gradually became dimmed, and Chen Pipi felt that the coercion was gradually relieved, and the sea of snow mountain qi and even the viscera that was about to melt in his body were restored again, and he realized that he had been pulled back from the brink of death.

He looked at the people from the South China Sea in front of the altar and found that they were not familiar. When he left the South China Sea, he was still very young, and he no longer had any memory of those things and people back then.

But he knew that these people were his mother's relatives, in other words, these people were his relatives, and logically speaking, someone from the South China Sea saved his life, and they were his relatives, so he should be more excited at this time, or at least show some gratitude.

Chen Pipi didn't, he just quietly watched these people from the South China Sea, because even if he didn't remember anything, he still remembered these people who preached in the difficult sea, they didn't care about anything but preaching, and they treated themselves and others as indifferently as the sea.

He had forgotten what his mother said before she died, but now that he thought about it, if Nanhai Yimai didn't want to return to Momoyama, how could he give his mother to his father?

Chen Pipi knew very well that the return of the Great Priest of the South China Sea to Taoshan was definitely not to save himself, even if there was such a reason, it was only incidental, and this matter must be related to his father.

The Great Priest of the South China Sea has returned to Momoyama, and it seems that he can indeed win back the control of the Daomen for Zhishouguan, however, his father should know very well that she is in the Temple of Light at this time.

She is the only one in the world, and anyone who dares to challenge the Xiling Temple can only die, not to mention these descendants of the South China Sea, even if the Great Priest of Light was resurrected six hundred years ago.

What exactly does the father want to do?

......

......

There is a bamboo couch on the shore of the small lake of Zhishouguan.

The viewer was lying on the bamboo couch, not knowing what he was holding in his hand, and quietly looked at the direction of Taoshan outside the wall. The middle-aged Taoist made tea next to the couch, and Longqing read the book of heaven in the thatched hut on the other side of the lake.

The middle-aged Taoist divided the tea and gently put it next to the couch.

The viewer slowly took the teacup with his newborn fingers and took a shallow sip.

The middle-aged Taoist looked in the direction of Momoyama, and after being silent for a long time, he said, "It's a pity. ”

The viewer knows that what the master said has two meanings.

The master ascended to the sky on the shore of Surabaya, fell from the sky, stepped on the green mountain ant cave behind the view, and the hidden masters of the Daomen died, and from that moment on, the center of gravity of the Daomen has shifted from Zhishouguan to the Xiling Temple, because power is never related to faith, only to power.

At that time, he was still there, and the Daomen was still headed by Zhishouguan, but now he has been abolished, although the middle-aged Taoist realm is wonderful, it is not enough to deter the Daomen, so Zhishouguan is abolished.

It's a pity that the middle-aged Taoist said, the first meaning is that it is a pity that the true power of Zhishouguan was trampled by the master, and the second meaning is a pity for those South China Sea priests who were in Taoshan at this time.

Because she is in the human world, she is on Peach Mountain at this time.

"I don't feel sorry for it. ”

The viewer threw the object in his hand on the ground next to the couch, making a few crisp sounds, which should be some kind of hard object. Then he looked at the ground and said, "She can't win, at least for now." ”

The middle-aged Taoist looked over and saw two pieces of ancient cow bones falling on the ground one after the other.

That's the count.
