Chapter Twenty-Five: The Blessing and Misfortune of the Completion of the Road The Two Families Merge
Crape myrtle world, a corner of the southeast.
In the boundless, blue-tiled clouds, one spirit bird after another flew across.
There are red-crowned cranes with green beaks and slender legs, there are also vermilion birds with strong wings, slowly flapping their wings and dancing, and there are also big birds with black tails and copper backs that resemble partridges, circling up and down.
Although these spirit birds are strange, they cannot be said to be terrifying. Only every half hour, there are birds of different green and yellow, forming a formation of geese flying back and forth, and their number is at least more than a million.
That's just the number of birds in a flock.
After waiting for half an hour, there are spirit birds parading, and you can see clusters of birds of different species and magnificent postures, shuttling back and forth again. Even if you watch it for ten days and half a month, there is no duplicate species of flying birds you have experienced.
The scale of the world's spirit birds is more huge than this.
Looking up at the sky, there seems to be a small inky dot in the sky, which seems to be moving slowly; people who don't know the inside story think that it is a meteorite falling from the sky and is about to fall.
Only after galloping to the sky and jumping thousands of feet, can we see clearly that this so-called "black spot" is actually floating in the air, a six-sided brocade with a radius of 800 miles.
On top of this brocade, the palace is clustered, and the grandeur is pressing, and a total of nine extremely dense and grand buildings are built.
Between the nine pieces of palace view, the grass is like shade, the clear spring is perrigated; the water, the spring, the abyss, the pool, the lake, the pu are adjacent to each other, a total of 81 places of abundant water and grass are gathered, each place is a huge bird nest, countless spirit birds swim in the water, and there is a clear song.
This place is the Ethereal Sect Mountain Gate.
In the very center of Jinpa, the tallest Qionglou palace surpasses its peers, and its appearance is extremely eye-catching, resembling a magnificent square tower.
However, this tower is not covered with glaze, but an open-air patio is vacated at the highest point, and the vertical and horizontal are also enough to be thousands of zhang in size, and the shape is extremely vast.
Above the patio, the grass is green, showing great vitality, and revealing a fresh earthy smell, as if a field has been moved, covering the top of the square tower. From time to time, you can see tanuki and white rabbits, scurrying around on them, revealing boundless vitality.
Here is a bluestone seat, divided into a large and a small two, all of which are sitting five people.
Among them, there is a larger piece of bluestone, which is two or three zhang wide, and the five people who are surrounded by it all reveal a kind of wonderful realm that reverses the subject and the object, and reverses the mystery of the sun and the moon.
The five of them are the cultivation of the realm of the near path.
There are three people in the guest seats.
The first one, dressed in a Taoist robe, with a high crown and a broad belt, sword eyebrows and starry eyes, and a divine will like a rainbow.
The one in the middle was an old man dressed in sackcloth, with a white beard and long black hair. Although his face is kind and relaxed, and he does not want to dominate the guests, but the magical artistic conception of the opposite realm and the subject and the object that comes from his body shows that this person's cultivation is superior to that of the person at the moment.
As for the last one, he was a middle-aged man in a yellow robe, quiet and silent, and his demeanor was serene.
The head of Yue Hengzong, Nangong Yi Zhenjun, Ning Zhongliu Zhenjun, and Liang Huan Shen Zhenjun.
The three of them were actually guests of the Ethereal Sect together.
Two people on the main seat. Among them, the black-robed woman with willow eyebrows and graceful looks is just that, and the two true monarchs of Nangong Yi and Liang Huanshen are also in the middle of each other, but the person who is above the main seat has an extraordinary atmosphere.
This person is dressed in a big red crown, his appearance is also outstanding, his eyebrows are like smoke and water, he is a rare elegant person in the world, but even with the concentration of the three true monarchs of Yue Hengzong, if he does not hold his mind, he can not help but hallucinate, it seems that this person's body is constantly "getting bigger", and if he is not careful, he will swallow the whole heaven and earth.
It is rumored that she had stopped for a long time before the last step of the abyss, and she had already realized the opportunity to break through the realm.
Now that I see it, it is really true.
The head of Nangong and the other three communicated with each other, and while they were frightened, they were secretly a little excited. So it would be in their own favor.
The red-robed woman glanced twice at the slightly smaller bluestone mat below, and suddenly her starry eyes blinked, and she smiled, like a glacier thawing: "I'm just a misty sect." Unexpectedly, the next generation of heroes and heroes of your faction will also be prosperous and declining. β
Her position is worthy of honor, but suddenly quipped, Nangong Yi was stunned and didn't know how to answer.
As for the only man among the five people on the table below, a young monk with a round face in a yellow robe, he seemed a little uncomfortable when he heard this, and smiled awkwardly.
Except for him, the other four people at this table were all young and beautiful women. Compared with these four people, as the only man, his deeds are not outstanding.
Of the other four women, there was only one woman in a light blue gown, slightly baby fat, who was teasing the kitten in her arms, who seemed to have the same meteorological background as him.
And the other three are all above him.
A woman in a white dress who seems to be in her twenties, demure and quiet, graceful and elegant, soft and hidden edge, with two green lotuses embroidered on the waist of the white skirt.
A girl in yellow clothes who is about twenty-eight years old, wise and skilled, with a degree of movement, although she has the posture of sinking fish and falling geese, but she is wrapped in a peculiar innocence, precipitating the taste of separation.
The last person looked slightly older than the two, and his appearance was not inferior to the two, dressed in a white coarse cloth simple clothes, and his hair was simply tied into a bunch, and he actually exuded a style that was both real and illusory, and his bearing was vaguely about the head of the five.
Ning Zhongliu smiled and said, "The number of days is like this, and Ning can't think about it." β
The red-robed woman smiled indifferently and said, "It's a joke." If he is added, only one person can overwhelm these four silly girls, and naturally there is no such thing as 'yin flourishing and yang declining'. β
Hearing this, Liang Huanshen's eyelids were slightly imperceptible.
The woman in red said lightly, and her voice seemed to be a little lonely: "Replenishing yin and yang, balancing advance and retreat, and finishing the road in one fell swoop, this is the result of my painstaking grinding." I was able to teach Qingqi to take a step on the basis of my time. As a result, the last mover came first, and won the third place in one fell swoop......"
"I didn't expect it...... A ragged colt may make a good horse. β
The black-robed woman on the second seat said: "As soon as he enters the other world, he will find a strange treasure and make up for his talents." With Yuanyu Jinghu as a basis, it is not surprising that he is close to getting married in just ten years. However, the Dharma is close to perfection and the foundation of the Dao has been laid, and there is nothing to say besides the word 'Heavenly Grant'. β
Ning Zhongliu sighed and said, "Seven days ago, Ning watched in front of the Psychic Manifestation True Form Diagram of this door for half an hour. Unbelievable, the same as Oriental Daoyou. β
The woman in red said lightly: "Congratulations to your faction." β
Nangong Yi shook his head and said: "Whether it is a blessing or a curse, it has not yet been settled, and the 'congratulations' of Dongfang Daoyou is too early." β
The woman in red is the Ethereal Sect in charge of the evening sunshine in the east.
Dongfang Wanqing seemed to have a smile on her face, and said, "What does Nangong Daoyou mean by this?"
Nangong Yizheng said: "My Yue Hengzong was only informed by Daoyou the year before last, and your sect Qingqi master and nephew took the first step to break the ice. Now our faction is catching up. The strength of the two families is among the top among the nine sects, but they have successively caught up in the great cause of completing the Dao, how similar are the circumstances...... However, in today's situation, the challenges to be faced are by no means small. β
The strength of the Yue Heng Sect can only be ranked five or six among the nine sects, and although the Ethereal Sect has Dongfang Wanqing in charge, the strength of the Ethereal Sect can only be regarded as the last of the nine sects. It is impossible for the Nine Sect Resident Heavenly Venerables to be like the indigenous people who robbed the Dao Venerables, who have been delayed in the Nether Realm for tens of thousands of years and refused to ascend.
Thousands of years later, as soon as the evening sun in the east is gone, the situation of the Ethereal Sect is even worse than that of the Yue Heng Sect.
Dongfang Wanqing groaned for a while, and said calmly: "What Nangong Daoist said is extremely true. The fact that this unborn figure of your faction came first and first made the relationship between the two factions more and more closely connected. β
The black-robed woman said: "The intentions of your faction, Yang and Senior Sister Dongfang both know. However, the alliance between the two factions of your faction has been a long time, and if it is just to determine the general trend, I am afraid that the three Taoist friends of your faction do not need to be dispatched together. β
"I'm afraid that the three Daoists came because of the theory that 'the blessings and misfortunes of the Daoist are undecided' as said by Nangong Daoyou. β
Nangong Yi bowed his head slightly when he heard this, thought for a while, and said solemnly: "If the words are mentioned in too detail, I am afraid that it will hinder you." Teach people to perceive in the dark. Please Oriental Daoyou and Yang Daoyou to watch it. β
As soon as he said that, as soon as he stretched out his palm, countless clear air swirled, and the subtle mana was popular, and it condensed into a vivid picture.
Thatched huts, ten miles flat. Countless shirtless and straw hat-wearing farmers wielding oxen and sickles toiled from field to field.
Dongfang Wanqing and the others moved in their hearts, knowing that Nangong Yi was going to declare his intentions with the method of allegory, and they all looked at it carefully.
In the golden autumn of October, countless strong men cut wheat and threshed to settle the harvest. But a few shirtless and green-skinned people with wooden sticks came to show off their might and extort money. It turned out that the landlord of this land saw that this year's harvest was good, so he changed the regular rent and doubled his blackmail.
Among that group of farmers, one of them was known for his prestige and physical strength, and there were a few strong men in the family, who immediately stepped forward enthusiastically to stand up for everyone and drink the green-skinned scoundrels.
So this man was elected by the people, and decided right and wrong with the landlord.
That man was originally a very square person, and after taking on the heavy responsibility, he took two helpers and went to Longtan alone, and sat down with the landlord's account room and house slaves to clarify right and wrong.
The landlord and slave couldn't talk to him, and he resigned to it, intending to intimidate by force, but it was completely useless, and he was put down by the man in three moves and two ways.
If you want to send people to besiege you, you are afraid that more than one person will be injured, and the matter will be difficult to clean up.
At the moment of these two dilemmas, the two thin bearded, lean and cunning account keepers whispered a few words in front of the fat-headed and big-eared old man.
The landlord nodded again and again, suddenly stretched out his sleeves, and ordered to go down. After a while, the back hall presented two hundred taels of silver.
This is the method of inducement.
The man only sneered and did not accept it.
The landlord passed the word again, and the two servants stepped forward and sent a thousand taels of silver again.
The man glanced at it, still waving his hand in refusal.
The old man's heart was crossed, and suddenly he ordered a wooden box to be passed on, and a deed was taken out from it, which was transcribed and his name changed. Deliver it to the man.
The man's eyes flickered, and after thinking about it for a long time, he finally took it.
Half an hour later, this person was on top of the banquet, drinking and persuading the landlord to drink, and made love.
A few months later, in addition to the original landlord, there was another small landlord in this area. The two families are connected to each other, and the small landlord's family is strong. In a fit of rage, they wantonly oppressed the poor peasants, and the tenants became less and less able to resist.
This "small landlord" is naturally the one who came out of the poor peasants in the past.
When he arrived here, the light and shadow trembled, and Nangong Yi gently wiped it away, quietly looking at the Dongfang Wanqing and the black-robed woman on the main seat.
The black-robed woman muttered, "Will it come to this?"
Nangong Yi said solemnly: "Originally, you and I were insignificant, so naturally we would not have come to this point, but Master Qingqi and Gui Wuyi have taken steps one after another, and now it is difficult to say tightly." β
Among the nine great sects, the rest of the sects all aim to complete the Dao, and there is nothing to hide.
But there are actually two prerequisites for this seeming calm.
First, the nine sects, three-legged, check and balance each other, the situation is quite stable.
Second, the two families of Chenyang Jianshan and the Yuan Lu Sect have already completed the Dao, and the Tibetan Elephant Sect is also the closest to the Dao. If the other six sects want to complete the path, they will always be under the six.
Without these two prerequisites, the situation would be confusing.
Now, the Ethereal Sect has quietly taken a big step on the way to the completion of the Dao, and the Yue Heng Sect has also laid the foundation for the completion of the Dao by returning to no blame. It seems that this is a great thing to rejoice, and in the future, the new generation of "Tiangang Law Contract" will not limit each family to more than nine people, or limit it to twelve people. are far more than the existing number of powers of the two families of Ethereal and Yueheng. It seems that two booming cases are just around the corner.
It is a pity that the unexpected entry of the two cases is not in the interests of other countries.
In particular, the sect that led the promotion of expanding the seat limit didn't make a wedding dress for people in vain?
Ning Zhongliu said indifferently: "Under this change, the strength of the two factions is far inferior to those few, but on the way to completion, they are in front. For example, a naughty boy walking in the downtown with gold and jade is definitely a curse rather than a blessing. β
The black-robed woman groaned for a while and said, "The truth is such a truth. But even if the situation is rotten, can you really tear your face and start a war completely? We and the nine major sects, each of which has a fundamental means that are not trivial. If you want to destroy a sect, the price you have to pay is so great that I am afraid that no one can afford it. If they don't want to embark on this lose-lose road, what can they think about except to sit back and watch my two families grow in the future?"
Nangong Yi said in a deep voice: "No. They still have the means. β
The black-robed woman asked, "What is the means to dare to ask?"
Nangong Yi said coldly: "It depends on whether the dealer shows up as shown in a certain picture scroll and throws down the bait." β
The black-robed woman frowned slightly, still not figuring it out.
Nangong Yi said: "If you can change the hexagram once, it is possible to change the hexagram twice." Although the two are currently merging, the proposed plan is that each family will have no more than 12 seats. Besides, it seems that the "Heavenly Gang Law Deed" does not stipulate that the final number of the nine sects must be the same number. β
The black-robed woman was shocked when she heard this, she really didn't think of Nangong Yi's whimsical proposal.
As long as they have an absolute advantage in strength, the Nine Sects do not have the innate "equality".
On the main seat, Dongfang Wanqing was also moved by the words.
If Chenyang Jianshan is really willing to throw the bait, the three strongest sects will merge together, and when it comes to dividing the victory and defeat, the Yue Heng Sect and the Ethereal Sect will inevitably be coerced.
At that time, the three families set fifteen, sixteen, and twelve places, and the Yue Heng Sect and the Ethereal Sect had obviously finished the Dao, but they only got two or three, three or four places, and then they were limited by the contract, and they had to be trapped for another 360,000 years, which was really wronged.
Ning Zhongliu said with a smile: "Of course, your faction can also gamble, and if this family keeps its word, things will not come to this point." More than 300 years later, it is still the families who have joined forces to set a charter of 12 places. In this way, both the two factions are happy, and there is hope for great prosperity after tens of thousands of years. β
"Butβinstead of gambling on the benevolence of others, why not take your fate into your own hands?
The black-robed woman seemed to be infected by Ning Zhongliu's words, and couldn't help but blurt out: "Is it feasible to take your fate into your own hands?"
Ning Zhongliu laughed and said, "The order and rules that will be decided for the next 360,000 years are originally the regulations agreed upon by the previous generation of the Heavenly Gang Law Deed, even if it is a resident Heavenly Venerable, it cannot be changed. If the status quo is maintained, the three families will be powerful, and our two families will naturally be unable to escape the fate of being coerced, but if we add the blamelessness, it will be completely different. Didn't the two Daoists discover that after the blamelessness was retrieved, our cards were enough?"
Dongfang Wanqing muttered: "Daoyou means-"
Ning Zhongliu said confidently: "The game of the Nine Sons' enlightenment, plus the blameless, our cards are unique, and we have enough chances to win." Why send someone to the fence?"
Stretching out his hand towards the table, Ning Zhongliu said with a smile: "Keep these little piglets in captivity, practice them carefully, and don't make mistakes when the path is smooth, this is one of them." β
At that table, the girl in the yellow robe and the woman in white looked at each other and smiled lightly. The one who was coarse and linen, and the one with the best weather, was calm and composed, and his complexion did not change at all. But the blue-robed girl who was a little baby fat, hearing Ning Zhenjun call herself a little piglet, pouted imperceptibly, pinched the cat's paw of the kitten in her arms, and rolled her eyes.
The kitten was in pain, and "Mi Woo" barked.
Ning Zhenjun also said: "There must be a great opportunity in the local civilization, and there is no plan to return within one or two hundred years; perhaps, the time for him to return will be set at more than three hundred years, when a major event is coming." Supposedly, there is no urgency in this matter. However, Ning still hoped to take the initiative to pick him up before he decided to leave. β
Dongfang Wanqing said in a low voice: "Will it?"
Ning Zhenjun said: "Ning Mou was also reminded by an old friend in the door, so he thought of this layer. Returning from that 'positive and negative map of the Great Realm', it is inevitable to go through a place...... Although Gui Wuyi has already had a gift from this old friend, it is said that it is enough to support. But I still picked him up, so I was relieved. β
"We can't do anything about it. β
"It is very likely that the two families are really on the same page, and it is absolutely not feasible to revisit the same old practice. β
Dongfang Wanqing's eyebrows perked up, and she said indifferently: "Thirty-six years later, Dongfang will take that step." When the time comes, a new map will be made by this door, and one person will be blamed and brought back, and he will not be able to perform the hardships. β
On the stone platform below, the yellow-robed girl heard this, and immediately got up and stepped forward, opening her lips and wanting to speak.
Seeing this, Dongfang Wanqing smiled and said, "Master Mu's nephew." I know you had a relationship with Na Gui when you were a child. It's just looking for someone in the vast world, how can it be like looking for a needle in a haystack. Without extraordinary mental evidence, it is difficult to complete the decision. β
"Qingqi. Thirty-six years later, you took the "Positive and Negative Pictures" with you. β
The woman in white with coarse cloth stood up and bowed, and said quietly, "The disciple takes the order." β
