——The Five Decays of Heaven and Man

......................................................................................................

Yuan Shi has always had a suspicion that when he was born, he did not come with a great avenue law, but a great avenue, and even, more than one avenue.

Why did Yuan Shi have this suspicion?

Every god and demon has a vision when he is born because of his own law of the Great Dao, and this vision is the induction generated by heaven and earth when the law is combined with the living beings, and experienced gods and demons can judge what the law of the Great Dao of the gods and demons is according to the type of vision.

In the same way, the bloodline of gods and demons is also divided by the avenue to which their companion law belongs, of course, the bloodline will only come from the father god or the mother god, if the companion law of the father god belongs to the avenue A, and the companion law of the mother god belongs to the avenue B, the companion law of their descendants must be the law of the two avenues A and B, otherwise, it can only mean that the father has a dyed hat on his head.

According to the rules of clan blood, if the gods and demons inherit the bloodline of the mother god, they must leave the clan when they reach adulthood, and either build their own clan or join the clan of the mother god's bloodline in the future.

When Yuan Shi was born, Qing Tianshu judged that Yuan Shi was the most orthodox righteous path of the Qing people according to the vision of heaven and earth, so he has always cultivated Yuan Shi according to the cultivation path of the righteous path gods.

However, Yuan Shi found that in addition to his sense of the law of opening, he could also vaguely sense other unknown aspects, and the two senses were very similar, but the other kind of senses were greater, more ordinary, more unfamiliar, and more complicated.

Yes, it is the feeling of greatness, ordinary, strangeness, and complexity.

Greatness and ordinary, this is the experience that Yuan Shi sensed, both great and ordinary, a perfect combination of opposition and unity.

The reason for the strangeness is that the beginning of the Yuan Shi is very vague about this kind of induction, even more vague than the induction of the law of the opening of the righteous path.

Generally speaking, the more sublime the avenue, the more difficult it is to understand and the more unfamiliar the perception will be.

However, the righteous path is the first avenue of the flood and wilderness today, and the law of opening up is the first law of the righteous path, which itself is the most noble law and the most difficult law to sense (so the realm of the origin cannot be improved, and everyone thinks that it can be understood).

Now Yuan Shi has a more unfamiliar feeling, and no one believes it, is there a higher avenue than the righteous path?

As for the complexity, it is because Yuan Shi has a lot of induction, and under normal circumstances, a law is a kind of induction, which is the ultimate reason why Yuan Shi suspects that he was born with his own avenue.

Yuan Shi doubted early on whether he was born with multiple laws.

According to legend, the ancestor of the eyebrows is a companion of a great avenue, and there is a middle god and demon who is born Tianjiao.

It's just that these gods and demons with multiple companion laws, including the Raised Eyebrows Ancestor, are all associated with the laws of the same avenue, so it is easier to integrate them.

However, Yuan Shi was not familiar with these sensing aspects at all, and even Yuan Shi spent 10,000 years to understand the content of the six great roads in the world, except for the similarities between the laws of the two great roads of the righteous and demonic and the experience he sensed, the other four great roads were not the same as Yuan Shi's experience at all.

Yuan Shi has been very confused, until Yuan Shi failed again and again, and his mentality changed from arrogant to peaceful, and Yuan Shi's induction became stronger and stronger, and finally, Yuan Shi thought of a possibility.

That is, what was associated with the beginning was not a law, but an unknown avenue of the whole one, and then, because of the reason of being born in the Qing clan, in addition to the associated avenue, he also mastered a righteous path law to which the bloodline of the Qing clan belonged.

It is precisely because Yuan Shi was accompanied by a great avenue and a law, and there is a degree of understanding of Mao God for so many laws, and all the people who are born have the Tao of the lower gods.

In other words, Yuan Shi lived in two avenues, and because of the interference between different avenues, Yuan Shi's divine power was extremely obscure, and his combat power was extremely weak.

However, this is just a speculation of the Yuan Shi, and it is not certain, because when the gods and demons were born, there were several visions of heaven and earth with a few laws, and when the Yuan Shi was born, there was really only one vision of heaven and earth.

What's more, in this world, there are only six known gods and demons ancestors, how can there be a seventh unknown avenue.

If there really is a seventh avenue, why doesn't anyone know about it? Is it some kind of taboo?

These Yuan Shi are not clear, but this does not prevent Yuan Shi from trying, Yuan Shi intends to practice on the basis of his own speculation, to verify it, if the Tao cannot be improved, at most it is just a waste of some time, anyway, there has been no progress for more than 40,000 years, and if it can't solve the problem of cultivation, it doesn't care about wasting another 8,000 years.

If the Dao can be improved, then not to mention, for a god and demon who has not made any progress in the Dao from birth to the present, what is more important than the improvement of the Dao?

Yuan Shi has already decided, so he will practice for a period of time according to his own guess.

How to practice, Yuan Shi also has a belly case, and the superior god is familiar with the entire avenue on the basis of controlling a law. It is most similar to the situation that you guessed (sensing an avenue).

Just now, Yuan Shi decided that, if he could, he would find some of the cultivation experiences of the higher gods for reference.

However, the status of the superior gods is high, and it is not an easy thing to understand their cultivation experience, so if you can't do it, please ask the father to ask the ancestor, and he is also a one in a million Tianjiao, and there is still a glimmer of possibility if he asks to see the ancestor once.

If you really can't do it, you can only find out on your own.

After making up his mind, Yuan Shi suddenly felt that his thoughts were clear and very comfortable.

Yuan Shi didn't know that this feeling of comfort was due to the fact that his unbreakable bottleneck had loosened a little.

Yuan Shi immediately thought of the law of opening up the righteous path that accompanies him, opening up, which is the first law of the righteous path (the path of creation), and its essence is innovation, and whether or not he decides to practice according to his own guess is the manifestation of innovation.

Yuan Shi felt as if he had figured out a little bit of the mystery of opening up the law, and at this time, the eldest brother Daode came over.

Finding a way to practice, Yuan Shi was eager to try, but the eldest brother asked him to go with him to protect the coming-of-age ceremony of the younger brother Lingbao, and the eldest brother treated himself very well, so although Yuan Shi was itchy to practice, he still agreed to it, anyway, for gods and demons, time has never been a big problem.

Compared with time, the coming-of-age ceremony is a god and demon, or a major event of a clan.

The lifespan of an ordinary god and demon can reach up to 129,600 years old, that is, the number of one yuan, which is also called a measuring calamity. One yuan is divided into 12 associations, each of which should be 10,800 years.

The reason why one yuan is divided into twelve meetings is because the gods and demons reach adulthood when they are 1,800 years old, and at this time the clan will hold a grand sacrifice for the gods and demons, and this event is the coming-of-age ceremony.

There are three steps in the coming-of-age ceremony, the first step, the young gods and demons need to kill a demon beast independently in the flood wilderness, the second step, the demon beast sacrifice, pray to the ancestors of their own clan, and the third step, the ancestors bless the young gods and demons according to their performance.

After three steps, the gods and demons will officially become adults, and they need to bear various obligations of the clan, including hunting and war, etc., and they also have the qualifications to break away from the old clan and establish a new clan.

In the general god and demon clan, there are only dozens of members, and more than 100 people are big clans, and the life of gods and demons is calculated in hundreds of thousands of years, so the coming-of-age ceremony of each god and demon is second only to ancestor worship and war for a clan.

The hardest part of the coming-of-age ceremony is the first step.

There are many monsters and beasts in the wilderness, and there are many dangers, even if they are high-ranking gods and demons, there is also the danger of falling, so if a young god and demon wants to complete the first step of the coming-of-age ceremony, he must be guarded by an adult.

As the eldest son of the Qing clan, Daodao's combat effectiveness is second only to Qing Tianshu, and in order to test morality, Qing Tianshu arranged for Daode to be responsible for the coming-of-age guard of his youngest son Lingbao.

Daode was worried that Yuan Shi was in a bad mood, so he deliberately pulled Yuan Shi into the gang, and the right to go out for a walk and relax.

Back in the clan settlement, at the foot of an endless mountain range, Father named Kunlun Mountain.

In the middle of the settlement is a plain with a radius of tens of miles, around the plain, the interior is a ring of mountains, forming a valley with the plain, the valley mouth is surrounded by a row of fences surrounded by ancient trees, and there is a gate in the middle.

In the middle of the plain is an altar 300 zhang wide and 100 zhang high.

There are several caves dug out at the foot of the mountain range, which are the caves where the gods and demons live.

A little hairy god who is more than three feet tall and looks like a child is looking left and right at the gate of the clan.

When the child saw Daode and Yuan Shi, he shouted happily: "Big brother, second brother, you are finally back, I have been waiting for you for a long time." ”

Qingniu stopped at the door, Daode and Yuan Shi jumped down, Daode patted the child's head with a smile, and said, "Lingbao, can't you wait to go hunting." ”

The child named Lingbao nodded excitedly.

Yuan Shi smiled: "We are ready, as long as it takes three months, we will be able to set off immediately." ”

"It's going to take three months?" Lingbao said depressedly.

Daode and Yuan Shi both smiled, Lingbao is still young, and he is still very sensitive to time, and when he gradually grows up in the future, in the process of cultivation, often a retreat is tens of thousands of years, at that time, he will not feel that a few months is a long time.

"What about your sister?" asked Daode.

"The eldest sister and the second sister are at the eldest mother's. Lingbao said.

"Well, the mother goddess is about to be born in twenty years, and the eldest sister and the younger sister are taking care of it there. Daode nodded: "Father God has already investigated, it is a pair of twin brothers, but Lingbao is not the youngest." ”

Yuan Shi smiled and said: Lingbao is going to be an elder brother, but you can't be so playful anymore, you have to be a good example for your younger brothers. ”

Lingbao puffed up his chest and said, "Definitely." ”

"That's good. Morality said, "Let's go to the Father first." ”

When the three of them arrived at the entrance of the largest cave, Daode shouted, "Father, the child is here." ”

"Well, come in. A calm voice came.

The three of them entered the cave, which was very simple, just a very tall cave.

In the middle of the cave, a middle-aged man thirty feet tall was sitting on the ground, and among the three of them, it was the highest morality, but it was only to his chest.

It is the patriarch of the Qing clan, the median god Qing Tianshu.

Qing Tianshu said: "Morality, my son, this time Lingbao's coming-of-age ceremony guard work will be handed over to you as a father." ”

Daode nodded and said, "Yes, the child will definitely take care of the third brother." ”

Qing Tianshu smiled and nodded at Daodao, he had just become independent, established his own clan, and had high hopes for his eldest son, who had always been cultivated in the direction of an assistant, when Daode was promoted to the middle god, he would hand over the clan to Daodao, and he would begin to retreat and practice for two or three tribulations, striving to break through the realm, and after leaving the customs, he would develop the clan wholeheartedly, and when the time came, it would be necessary to attack a few demon clans and grab a few goddesses and demons to come back and reproduce heirs.

Thinking of the bewitching figure of the demon beauty, Qing Tianshu was hot.

Qing Tianshu suppressed the desire in his heart, and looked at Yuan Shi again: "Yuan Shi, my son, has your Taoism not improved?"

Yuan Shi shook his head and said, "No." ”

Qing Tianshu said happily: "Don't be anxious, your companion law is the first noble law, it is naturally difficult to understand it, but after all, you are a rare Tianjiao of my god clan, and my father has decided to retreat to impact the superior gods and demons, once successful, my father can get a chance to listen to the sermon and ask questions from the ancestor, and when you ask, I will ask the ancestor about your situation." ”

"Thank you, Father?" said Yuan Shi with great joy.

If Qing Tianshu's expectation of morality is to cultivate an assistant, for the beginning, it is a high hope, Tianjiao, that is not something that ordinary gods and demons can give birth to, and the accompanying law is still the first noble law, although it is difficult to improve the path of the beginning, but Tianjiao is Tianjiao, there has never been a Tianjiao who has not been promoted to the top god, and the current setbacks are just grinding. As long as this hurdle is passed, the future of Yuan Shi will be bright.

In the end, Qing Tianshu looked at his youngest son, Lingbao, who was born to a beautiful woman of the Demon Dao clan that he robbed, Qing Tianshu was very worried at first that Lingbao's bloodline would be biased towards the demon clan, but it turned out that his own bloodline was strong, and the law of Lingbao companionship was also the most orthodox law of benevolence.

Because of his love for that demon beauty, Qing Tianshu also loves Lingbao very much, but no matter how much he loves it, he has to be serious when he should be serious.

Qing Tianshu said to Lingbao solemnly: "Lingbao my son, the coming-of-age ceremony is a matter of great significance to every god and demon, you must do your best, sacrifice with the best tribute, and strive to get the favor of the ancestors, good luck, maybe you can be promoted to the next god in one fell swoop." ”

"Yes, the boy knows. Lingbao replied solemnly.

"Stand down. Qing Tianshu waved his hand.

The three of them bowed and bowed, and then exited the cave.

Daode said to Lingbao: "Third brother, you go back and prepare, and strive to hunt in the best state, you must know that the coming-of-age ceremony is the easiest opportunity for our gods and demons to be promoted, and only when the Dao is promoted, can you survive the first decline of heaven and man." ”

"I understand, big brother. Lingbao waved his hand and said, "I'm going to visit the mother goddess, eldest brother, second brother, you hurry up and prepare, get ready to call me." ”

Watching Lingbao jump away, Daode sighed and said: The third brother is innocent, and he can't recognize the horror of the five decays of heaven and man, and in the long run, it is not conducive to his cultivation. ”

Yuan Shi said: "I can only supervise this stinky boy more in the future." ”

The five decays of heaven and man are the five mountains stuck on the road of immortality of gods and demons.

Generally speaking, the life span of gods and demons is extremely long, as long as they don't die in battle, there is basically no worry about falling, but there are only six ancestors who can live forever in the desolate world, and the rest of the gods and demons have all fallen.

These fallen gods and demons, except for the war dead, all died from the five decays of heaven and man.

When any god or demon is 129,600 years old, he will encounter his first level, the first decay of the five decays of heaven and man - dirty clothes.

The condition for surviving the first decline is the Taoism of the lower gods and demons, and 90% of the gods and demons cannot be promoted to the lower gods and demons for life, so the first decline of heaven and man is the most feared thing for most gods and demons.

Because of the longevity of the creatures, most of the time there is no concept of time.

However, the gods and demons who no longer have the concept of time are still very sensitive to the number of 129,600 years, so the flood is based on 129,600 years, which is also called a quantitative tribulation (the meaning of a large number of gods and demons).

The gods and demons will face the second decline of heaven and man after the three tribulations - the head is withered, and only the Dao of the middle gods and demons can survive;

During the Nine Tribulations, the sweat under the armpits of the third decay of heaven and man came, and the Taoism of non-superior gods and demons could not be passed;

At the time of the thirty-six tribulations, the fourth decay of heaven and man came to the stench, and only the great gods and great demons could survive it;

At the time of the one hundred and eight tribulations, the fifth decay of heaven and man came, and if it could not reach the path of the ancestors, the great gods would also fall.

In the same way, as long as you survive the five decays of heaven and man, you can truly live forever, which is also the cultivation goal of all gods and demons.

Many gods and demons are the same as the current Lingbao, because of their long lifespan, so they don't pay attention to cultivation, and when the five decays of heaven and man come, they regret it.

Cultivation is a personal matter, and it is ineffective for outsiders to force them, so morality and origin can only wait for Lingbao to open his mind.

Three months later, the three brothers said goodbye to their relatives and embarked on a journey of hunting in the wilderness.

It's a relatively safe safari.

When every god and demon establishes a clan, they must open up a clan's territory, the so-called development, mainly to kill powerful demon beasts, only to kill the powerful demon beasts in a certain area, in order to provide a safe place for clan members to live.

At this time, the difference between the righteous path and the demon path comes out, the head of the righteous path of the clan will only kill the most powerful demon beasts, leaving the weaker demon beasts behind, and provide food and trial objects for other members of the clan, and the righteous path gods and demons attach importance to the ecological cycle, and will not do things that dry up and fish, which is the embodiment of the righteous path.

And the Demon Dao is just the opposite, when a Demon Dao god and demon establishes a clan, the demon beasts in the surrounding area are often slaughtered, and if the clan members want to hunt, they must go deep into the wilderness and fight with unknown demon beasts, and the mortality rate is much higher, however, there is a loss, there is a gain, and the combat effectiveness and survivability of the Demon Dao clan warriors are stronger than those shown by the Zhengdao clan.

It was precisely because the hunting of the Zhengdao clan was relatively safe that Qing Tianshu dared to rest assured that the morality of the lower Shinto Xing was responsible for the hunting and guarding of the spirit treasure.

Of course, safety is only relative, although the desolate monsters have their own territory, and they will not leave their own territory easily, but nothing is absolute, and when the monsters become adults, they will leave the protection of their parents and go to find their own territory.

Therefore, when the Protoss is hunting, it is also possible to encounter a powerful demon beast that has broken into the clan's territory, which is a matter of luck.

And the way of luck is also the fifth avenue among the six avenues of the flood wilderness.

Let's add an author's question session from time to time, and interested book friends can post to answer, and there is no prize for correct answers.

As a first question, ask a simple question.

Question in this issue: As a saint in later generations, how can Sanqing's relatives also leave some traces in future generations, so who are they?
