Chapter 152: Flood Pattern
Yuntai Mountain in Shuzhong, today's Yuntai Mountain stands on the ground, towering above the Middle Earth like the Optimus Pillar, and the central hall of the Yuntai View has now been completely renewed.
Zhou Chenggao sat on the cloud bed, and dozens of disciples in Taoist robes in the hall were lined up on both sides, Su Ruolan, Xie Daoyun, and Yuntai Jiuzi were all listed.
It's been three months since the Flood reunited and the River Styx struck.
And during these three months, the desolate world was unusually calm.
Although the four major continents border Middle-earth, and they have set up troops on the border, looking like they are eyeing each other, whether it is the Tang Kingdom of Dongsheng Shenzhou, or the Lingshan Buddha Gate of Xiniu Hezhou, or the demon clan of Nanzhan Continent, they have not rashly launched a war against the Daomen of Middle Earth.
As for those quasi-saints who re-established the Dao Tong Mountain Gate in the chaos, there was no obvious action.
Today, except for Xie Xuan, who was guarding the eastern border and confronting the Tang army, Huan Xuan, who was confronting Buddhism on the western border, and Gu Kai, who was guarding the southern border, all the core disciples of Yuntai and the elites of the Daomen appeared in Yuntai Mountain.
This also includes Luohong Zhang Heng and others, who were originally guarding the Quartet.
"Sect of the Lord, Emperor Dongyue has built ten new cities in the Netherworld, millions of Yin soldiers have been formed, and the Netherworld and reincarnation are on the right track. The Northern Emperor has also re-established the Six Palaces, and all the evil ghosts and fierce spirits have been suppressed in the Xudu Ghost Domain. "The Yuntai Hall is solemn and solemn, and there is already an atmosphere of a great sect, and at this moment, the Yuheng Dao people are lined up in the hall to report the situation of the Netherworld Mansion and the Xudu Ghost Domain one by one.
With the management of Wang Xizhi and Huan Wen, the Netherworld Mansion and the Xudu Ghost Domain have been completely on the right track in less than three months.
The Netherworld Mansion has the merit treasure of the Book of Life and Death, as well as the judge's pen transformed by Xi Xuan, which is between a monk and a shapeshifting spirit treasure, even if Zhou Cheng is not there, ordinary people do not dare to go to the Netherworld Mansion to make a mistake.
And Huan Wen re-established the Northern Emperor Mansion, re-established the Xudu Ghost Domain, and at the same time, the six palaces that were originally subordinate to the Northern Emperor Monarch's Mansion were also re-established.
These six palaces are the Heavenly Palace, the Heavenly Palace, the Heavenly Palace, the Heavenly Palace, the Heavenly Palace, the Heavenly Palace, the Heavenly Palace, the Heavenly Palace, and the Heavenly Palace.
Since then, the Netherworld Mansion and the Xudu Ghost Domain have performed their own duties, and they have relied on each other, even quasi-saints do not dare to rush into it.
"From now on, the Netherworld and the Daomen are all yin and yang, and you must not rely on your identity to interfere with the actions of the Netherworld and the Daomen. After listening to the report of Yuheng Daoren, Zhou Cheng said lightly.
Although what he said was plain, Zhou Cheng now has a feeling of blending with the avenue of heaven and earth, even if it is just a casual sentence, as if heaven and earth are responding, and he has reached the real word of words.
"Obey the decree of the Daojun!" everyone in the hall bowed in unison.
Most of the people in this hall are disciples of Yuntai Guan, and although others like Chu Garlic and Luoxiahong are not disciples of Yuntai Guan, they also regard themselves as disciples of Taoism, and they are all convinced by Zhou Cheng, the Taoist monarch.
Now that there is no secular kingdom in Middle Earth, the Sima royal family has voluntarily abdicated a few months ago, and the original imperial court has been replaced by the Dao Palace, and Zhou Cheng also asked Chu Lianzi to choose a sect disciple to be included in the sect according to the agreement, which is a clan disciple named Sima Daozi.
Now the Dao Palace has replaced the original imperial court, but the lord of the Dao Palace is the Dao Jun, that is, Zhou Cheng, who is not only the head of the Yuntai Temple, but also the Dao Jun of the Dao Gate of Middle Earth.
One is the system of Yuntai view, and the other is the Taoist palace system.
The Yuntai system still retains the characteristics of the sect, with a master and a young master, followed by several disciples of Zhou Cheng, and then the core disciples of Yuntai Jiuzi who hold great power, and then below are the inner court disciples, the outer court disciples, miscellaneous disciples and so on.
The Daogong maintains the daily operation of Middle-earth, from the war with the four continents, the deployment of construction materials for the army, and the management of clothing, food, housing and transportation of the people.
"What are the movements of the four continents now?" Zhou Cheng looked at Chu Garlic in the hall, this former queen mother is now the main person in charge of the Dao Palace, and her talent and ability are just in charge of the Dao Palace.
"Returning to Daojun, except for a few confrontations between the Dao soldiers of Beifu and Xingchenwei and the Tang army and the Lingshan Buddha soldiers, we currently have no major conflicts with the four major continents. My Middle Earth is just bordering the southwest of Dongsheng Shenzhou, and now the town is guarded there by the Beidou general Ge Shuhan of the Tang Kingdom, who cultivated in the middle of the Great Luo Jinxian. In addition, we have received information that the Holy Emperor of Dongsheng Divine Prefecture is attacking the Holy Throne, and the chance that he will successfully advance to the quasi-saint will be no less than eighty percent. Chu Garlic got up and said, the whole desolate world has the deepest relationship with Middle Earth, in fact, it is also the Tang Kingdom of Dongsheng Shenzhou.
Because this Tang Kingdom claims to be the descendant of the Daomen Taishang Sage, it is also a lineage of Daomen, although thousands of years ago there was also a Buddhist sect borrowed the hand of the empress Wu Cong to seize Dongsheng Shenzhou, but in the end it was set right by the contemporary Holy Emperor Li Xuanzong, so for the attention and understanding of the other four continents, Dongsheng Shenzhou is the most valued by Zhou Cheng, Chu Garlic and others, and it is also the most attentive place.
Zhou Cheng listened to the news about Datang, and even when he heard that Li Xuanzong was about to advance to the quasi-saint, he didn't show too much, but just nodded at Chu Garlic, indicating that she already understood.
Seeing Zhou Cheng nodding, Chu Lianzi continued: "I border the west of Middle-earth with Xiniu Hezhou, and the one in Lingshan is said to be also attacking the holy throne, and now the one who is at war with Huan Xuan on the border is the Fuxian Bodhisattva of Buddhism. As far as we know, he was originally also a disciple of Taoism, and he was a famous Fuxian Zhenren in ancient times. ”
"Lingshan Buddhism, in fact, three or four out of ten are former disciples of the Daomen, and the reason for this must be known to the Daojun. Originally, the heaven and earth were blocked, and the Great Luo Golden Immortals on the four continents could not advance to the quasi-saint, but now that the Heavenly Dao blockade has been lifted and the flood is reunited, these existences that originally stayed at the peak of the Great Luo will naturally hurry up and enter the holy position as soon as possible. In fact, compared to Dongsheng Shenzhou and Xiniu Hezhou, the old man was more worried about the demon clan in Nanzhan Buzhou. As soon as Chu Garlic finished speaking, Dongfang Shuo spoke.
Dongfang Shuo is another quasi-saint in the entire Middle Earth except for Zhou Cheng, there are two quasi-saints in one force, and the Middle Earth Daomen does have the capital to base itself on the flood famine.
With Dongfang Shuo's status, he naturally sat at the front of the main hall, and his position was still above Su Ruolan, but his other identity, Xie An, did not appear again after the reunion of the flood wilderness, and even Xie Daoyun didn't know where Xie An went.
"Brother Man Qian is right, the old man was in charge of the armillary sphere of Nanzhan Buzhou back then, if it weren't for the help of the Yuding real people of Jinxia Cave, I am afraid that he would have died in the hands of those big demon kings, and the great demon kings of Daluo Jinxian on Nanzhan Buzhou have no less than thirty in my perception, and these demon clans are warlike by nature, even if they have no intention of being enemies with us, they are easy to be used by others. Dongfang Shuo then Luo Hong then spoke, he had been in Nanzhan Continent for hundreds of years, and no one here knew Nanzhan Continent better than him.
"Yuding Zhenren, he should visit if he has the opportunity, but unfortunately, with his qualifications and the blessing of the power of merit, it was originally easy to achieve quasi-sainthood, but what he walked was the path of enlightenment with strength. Hearing Yuding's name, Zhou Cheng also said thoughtfully.
Now Zhou Cheng can know a lot of the past and future with a single thought, but in an instant, he has a general understanding of Yuding.
"In fact, Beiju Luzhou is the strongest, and there are still many ancient powerhouses lurking there, if the blockade of the Dao is lifted today, I am afraid that it will not be long before several quasi-saints will appear there. Shi Shen, who had rarely spoken, suddenly said that the armillary sphere in Beiju Luzhou back then was also controlled by him.
After the defeat of the River Styx a few months ago, the four sages returned to the Yuntai Temple with the armillary sphere, and these days they are also preparing to impact the holy position, but although they have all received the blessing of the power of merit, but after all, the cultivation is still short, and all the Tao is on the armillary sphere, and their own perception of the heavenly path is not outstanding in Daluo, if they want to achieve the position of quasi-saint, they are still close to accumulation and precipitation.
"Beiju Luzhou borders the Mobei Prairie in Middle Earth, and now the Wuhu alien races have also been driven to Mobei, and even some of them have entered Beiju Luzhou, I wonder if we need to send an army to the Mobei Grassland?"
"I have an idea. Chu Garlic's voice fell for a moment, and Zhang Heng looked up at Zhou Cheng and said.
"Fellow Daoists, please speak. Zhou Cheng nodded at Zhang Heng, and a smile appeared on his face.
Although Zhou Cheng is now the lord of Middle Earth, Zhou Cheng and others like Dongfang Shuo have always treated each other with the courtesy of Taoist friends, and did not regard these people as disciples or subordinates.
Zhang Heng also nodded slightly at Zhou Cheng, and then looked at Luo Xiahong, Gande, and Shi Shen, and the three of them met Zhang Heng's gaze and nodded slightly.
After a while, I heard Zhang Heng continue: "The four of us just need a secluded place to retreat, why don't the four of us go to Beiju Luzhou, we can not only cultivate there, but also deter those ancient powerhouses, even if there is a change in Beiju Luzhou, there will be no big mess with the four of us, at least the northern border of Middle Earth can be worry-free." ”
In this way, there are four Taoist friends. Zhou Cheng agreed with Zhang Heng's opinion almost without thinking about it.
"Beidou and Nandou listen to orders. Suddenly, Zhou Cheng called the names of Beidou and Nandou Daoist again.
"The disciple is here. Beidou and Nandou Daoren bowed to Zhou Cheng, and now the two of them are only one step away from achieving the Dao Fruit and becoming Da Luo Jinxian.
"The demon clan of Nanzhan Buzhou must be guarded, from now on, the two of you will go to the southern border, and guard the southern border with Gu Kaiyi, by the way, you two can also use the demon clan as a test stone, in order to condense the Dao fruit as soon as possible. Zhou Cheng called out the two of them, just to ask them to guard the southern border with Gu Kaizhi.
"The disciple received the order. The two bowed again.
After "Dao Yun" arranged the Beidou and Nandou Dao people, Zhou Cheng called Xie Daoyun again.
"The disciple is here. Xie Daoyun was originally close to Zhou Cheng, and when he heard his master calling him, he also turned around and bowed to Zhou Cheng.
"For the sake of the division, you will take Yuan Tu to the eastern border and join forces with Xie Xuan's Beifu Dao soldiers to resist the Tang army. However, you have to remember that although the Yuan Tu Divine Sword is a spiritual treasure, it is a companion of the Styx after all, even if the teacher suppresses the consciousness of the Styx in the Yuan Tu Divine Sword with the power of merit, this is only temporary after all. This is an external object, and it should not be relied on too much, only its own way is fundamental. Have you written it down?" Zhou Cheng was really conscientious to Xie Daoyun, and asked her to take Yuan Tu to the east, and he also had the intention of letting Xie Daoyun experience it.
Although Xie Daoyun received the best teachings and had the most cultivation resources in Yuntai, after all, she needed to soar the world alone, so that she could go to the eastern realm just to take care of Xie Xuan.
"Remember the teacher's teachings!" Xie Daoyun responded obediently, and naturally understood Zhou Cheng's intentions with her intelligence.
Zhou Cheng nodded with satisfaction, and his gaze swept over everyone in the hall again. Up to now, three of the four realms of Middle Earth have been properly arranged, there are Gu Kaizhi and Beidou Nandou in the south, basically there is no worry about the quasi-saint below, there are Zhang Heng four people in the north, and it is even more impregnable, and there are Xie Xuan and Beifu Daobing in the east, and now Xie Daoyun is going to carry Lingbao Yuantu, as long as it is not the Holy Emperor Li Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty who personally takes action, there is basically no big problem.
Now the only thing left is the defense of the Western Realm in the face of the Spirit Mountain of Xiniu Hezhou.
Daomen and Buddhism have always been incompatible, and the strength of Lingshan is not weak, except for the temporary retreat to impact the holy position, there are several great Bodhisattvas are the Tao of Da Luo Jin Xian. In addition, although Manjushri's body was destroyed, the Asura Demon King's obsession body still exists, although only the Manjushri who is left with the obsession body has stopped here forever in this life, but that obsession body is also a genuine quasi-saint after all.
Therefore, the most unstable and dangerous is the western realm, and at this moment, everyone thought that Zhou Cheng would send Dongfang Shuo to the western realm, because the entire Middle Earth Dao Gate was the most suitable for Dongfang Shuo.
Zhou Cheng, as the head of the Yuntai Sect and the Daojun, naturally needs to sit in the Middle Earth, it is not suitable for him to go to the west to confront the Lingshan Buddhism Sect in person, and the other people even if Su Ruolan goes to seem to be a little weak, only Dongfang Shuo, who is also a quasi-saint, is the most suitable.
However, Zhou Cheng's next words greatly exceeded everyone's expectations, and even made everyone puzzled.
"Li Xuanzhen, you lead a hundred Inner Court disciples to the Western Realm to assist Huan Xuan. Benjun will be absent for a long time later, and everything in Yuntai will be handed over to the Shaozhang Sect, and Zhongtu will ask the Oriental Daoists. Zhou Cheng's gaze swept over Li Xuanzhen, Su Ruolan and Dongfang Shuo, but when he finished speaking, his gaze still penetrated the Yuntai Hall, and he didn't know where to look.
No one thought that the most dangerous Western Realm, Zhou Cheng only sent a hundred inner courtyard disciples to go.
Although Li Xuanzhen emerged after the Second Buddhist War, and now he is also focused on cultivating, but at present, he has only reached the point of approaching the seven sons of Yuntai, and most of the disciples of the hundred inner courtyards are still in the Yuan Shen realm, and this kind of strength does seem a little small in the face of Lingshan.
And the most puzzling thing is that Zhou Cheng revealed that he will be away from Middle-earth for a long time, and at the same time, most people are curious, where is Zhou Cheng going?
