Let's say that Yin Wugeng returned to Biyou Palace with the five immortals, and the immortals clamored to execute the long-eared Dingguang Immortal, but Yin Wugeng had already promised that Yang Mei Daxian would not kill everyone in the fairy world, so he locked the long-eared Dingguang Immortal in the dungeon of Zizhi Cliff and let him think about it.

At night, the long-eared Dingguang Fairy looked up and saw the moonlight scattered in the roof of the cave, which looked particularly desolate. When he was young, a figure stood on the roof of the cave, blocking half of the moonlight.

"Who?" asked the long-eared Dingguang Immortal, who couldn't tell the difference.

With a wave of his hand, the steel fence on the roof of the dungeon was lifted along with the sigils attached to all sides. "Come out, I have something to ask you. Talking to this person surprised the long-eared Dingguang Immortal, because this person was Yin Wugeng.

The long-eared Dingguang Immortal seemed to guess why Yin Wugeng came, and flew out of the dungeon on tiptoe, looking at the young sect elder brother in front of him.

"I'm sure you should have guessed what I want to ask you, right?" Yin Wugeng said lightly.

The long-eared Dingguang Immortal stroked his long beard and replied, "Do you have to ask me why I betrayed the sect back then?"

Yin Wugeng nodded.

"Huh~" The long-eared Dingguang Fairy touched his ears and said: "In the past, I was just a rabbit and cultivated to become fine, and later I was fortunate to worship the Interception Sect, follow the sect master to practice morality, hone immortal arts, and have also practiced Taoism for seventy or eighty thousand years. It's not that I don't recite the teachings of the sect master, it's just that the sect leader is an old man...... It is really not thinking about the future of the sect members, and arrogant. In the face of the alliance between the exposition of religion and the Western religion, it is still necessary to hit the stone with an egg, and finally lead to the almost extinction of the sect. I had only anticipated this tragic outcome, so I retreated and took refuge in the Western Church in order to save my life. It can be said that everyone is drunk, and I am sober!"

Yin Wugeng stood with his hands behind his back, the moonlight was a little cold on his face, and he asked: "According to what you said, the defeat of the sect at that time was already irreversible?" The long-eared Dingguang Immortal replied: "There is Nuwa Niangniang who wants to change the dynasty, there are four major sect masters besieging outside, and there are traitors and traitors to the sect Shen Gongbao inside, how can I intercept the sect not be defeated? Moreover, the sect leader is unknown, this battle of gods is not a superior level, a righteous Xuanmen, but a sentence of life and death!" At that time, when the Ten Absolute Formations were placed, they did not kill the Martial King, and when they set up the Yellow River Array to capture the Twelve Immortals of Kunlun, they did not kill them, and when we had the upper hand, they were soft-hearted to the enemy, and as a result, when Lao Tzu and Yuan Shi Tianzun made a move, it was like a storm, and there was no chance for the sect to turn over......"

"As for the real reason for the defeat...... It's still not good!" the long-eared Dingguang Immortal raised his head and said, "If the sect leader has your current mana cultivation, maybe the result will be different." ”

"Whether it is the Eastern Immortal Realm or the Western Buddha Realm, strength is always the ultimate hole card. Yin Wugeng sighed, as if he understood that the fate before the sect was doomed.

"Thank you. Yin Wugeng glanced at the long-eared Dingguang Immortal, "It's very rare that you can say this to me so frankly." ”

The long-eared Dingguang Immortal chuckled, "Actually, I didn't want to tell you so much, and I don't know why, I saw something in your eyes that is different from other sectarians, you are high-minded but not arrogant, reasonable but not old-fashioned, and more importantly, your bumpy life experience made you enlighten early, and know the cruelty of this avenue." I have a word of advice. ”

Yin Wugeng nodded, "But it doesn't hurt to talk about it." ”

"Although there are many people in the sect, there are many people in the sect, but there are many qi refiners and scattered immortals, but there are very few Taiyi Golden Immortals, not to mention Da Luo Jin Immortals, in the final analysis, the roots are still poor, and the Tao is shallow, so we must also be cautious under the wide collection of people. In addition, when there are many disciples, the control is loose, which leads to some people who are brave and ruthless, and do not respect the rules of the sect, but ruin the reputation of the sect. If you want to revive the teachings, you need to pay attention to these things. The long-eared Dingguang Immortal paused, and then said, "If you want to have a clearer understanding of the conspiracy behind the Battle of the Gods, you can go to someone. ”

"Who?" Yin Wugeng asked.

"General of the East China Sea - Shen Gongbao. is also Jiang Ziya's senior brother in the past. ”

"He?" Yin Wugeng heard of this person and asked, "Where is he?"

The long-eared Dingguang Immortal smiled: "It's in the sea eye of the East China Sea." He also entered the list of gods and became one of the gods under the jurisdiction of the heavenly court. If you don't give him that drudgery, I believe he is extremely unhappy. ”

Yin Wugeng had a plan in his heart, and said to Chang'er: "I will go to find him, but you still have to stay in this dungeon...... Until one day, the Master himself forgives you for your betrayal, and you will be able to regain your freedom. ”

"Hehe, I understand. The long-eared Dingguang Immortal didn't say much, jumped straight into the dungeon, and sat down cross-legged again.

Yin Wugeng was about to leave, when he suddenly remembered something, lowered his head and asked in the dungeon: "There is something I have to ask you, where are the six soul flags that the sect leader gave you back then?" After Yin Wugeng learned about it, he didn't ask any more questions, turned around and left Zizhi Cliff.

At dusk the next day, I saw a figure stepping out of the waves in the easternmost part of the East China Sea, standing on the sea surface waving soap flags, and the entire East China Sea began to ebb and flow. This man has a lean face, two mustaches on the side of his mouth, a pair of shrewd and cunning eyes staring straight into the distance, and then he is dressed in fish scale armor, and the outside is obliquely draped in a green robe, and with the soap flag waving in his hand, the tide of the entire East China Sea is under control.

"General Shen Gong Leopard!" suddenly shouted and startled the man. He turned his head to look around and asked, "Who? Who calls me by my name?"

A figure straddled nine lions and fell overhead, and Shen Gongbao couldn't help but take a step back when he saw this might, and looked at the person carefully. This person's face is like a crown of jade, his temples are white, he is covered with a white shirt, he is covered with a silk robe, there is a golden light in the heavenly spirit, and there is a faint purple aura lingering around his body, he is obviously not an idle person.

"Huh, this Daoist is young, but looking at his golden light covering the top of the purple qi lingering, this scene is only available to a few sect masters?Who is this?" Shen Gongbao knew that the other party was not small, so he bowed and said, "I don't know who the immortal is, what is the point of coming to this sea eye to find the little god?"

Yin Wugeng laughed when he heard this: "I have heard that Shen Gongbao had the ambition to take charge of the god list and the ambition of helping business destroy Zhou, and he once swallowed all over the world, and invited the Taoist friends of the three mountains and five mountains to besiege Jiang Ziya with his incorruptible tongue, and today it is very different from the rumors!"

was ridiculed by Yin Wugeng, and Shen Gongbao was not angry, but only sneered: "That's all in the past, what do you say? Could it be that the immortals are specially here to entertain the little gods?"

Yin Wugeng shook his head and said, "I am Yin Wugeng, a member of the sect, and I have a few things I want to ask you today." ”

When Shen Gongbao heard this, he couldn't help but change his face and said in surprise: "You are Yin Wugeng?" said and looked at the person in front of him again.

"Do you recognize me?" Yin Wugeng asked.

Shen Gongbao stroked his mustache and smiled: "How can I not know? Although I am a god in the Nether Water Mansion, but three hundred years ago, the Demon Venerable besieged Heavenly Court, how can I not know such a big thing? You are the third son of the King of Xu, the third highness of the Great Shang. He sighed and said sadly: "Actually, the old man once went to the palace to meet the king of Xu, and he also had a relationship with you, but you were still young at that time...... Alas, there is really a reblooming day, and no one is young!"

"But I heard that you later became the senior brother of the sect, which is really gratifying! I don't know if the Third Highness has something to ask the little god?"

Yin Wugeng waved his hand and said, "I have entered the immortal path, and I have nothing to do with the world." Don't call yourself the Third Highness anymore. Yin Wugeng pointed to a nameless island in the distance again, and said to Shen Gongbao: "I have a few things I want to ask you, please come with the general to find a clean place to settle on that small island, and let's take our time." ”

"Okay!" Shen Gongbao took the soap flag and followed Yin Wugeng to Nameless Island.

Although this small island is nameless, it has a great view. The forest on the island is dense, the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant, the two of them found a spacious place, Yin Wugeng waved his hand to conjure up a stone table, and told the Yellow Turban Lux to go around and pick some fairy fruits. The two sat opposite each other and began to talk.

Shen Gongbao looked at Yin Wugeng in front of him, uncertain, and asked, "I don't know what the immortal wants to ask?"

Yin Wugeng said lightly: "I heard that when the general was still a member of the sect of exposition, he once worshiped under the sect of Yuan Shi Tianzun with Jiang Ziya, and he should have assisted Jiang Ziya to help Zhou Xuan, why did he violate the decree of Yuan Shi Tianzun and instead help intercept the sect to deal with the sect? What is the reason for this?"

When he mentioned this, Shen Gongbao was still unconvinced, and pouted: "Hmph, how can Jiang Ziya be compared with me?" But this person is honest and honest, and listens to the master's words the most, so the master is partial to him and handed over the god list to him. I can't get angry, so naturally I have to embarrass him. ”

"Hahahaha!" Yin Wugeng suddenly laughed and said to Shen Gongbao: "It seems that the general is unwilling to tell the truth to his subordinates. The reason you are saying is well known to the world, but I am afraid it is not the truth. After that, he glanced at Shen Gongbao, and saw a trace of cunning in his eyes, which seemed to hide a lot of secrets.

"General Shen. Yin Wugeng continued: "Back then, you were expounding the sect, but later you switched to the sect interception, and you became a celebrity in front of the sect leader, and even the sect leader of the Ten Thousand Immortal Array was handed over to you and the Duobao Dao people to take charge together, I'm afraid that many people with higher seniority than you don't have this honor, right? I heard that you were once held by Yuan Shi Tianzun, and he was going to kill you, but he let you go. With a smart person like you, you should have known that the interception of religion was already over, but you still spared no effort to encourage the interception and exposition of teaching, and even took your own life in the end. Why is that? Is it just a momentary confusion?"

As soon as these words came out, Shen Gongbao was silent for a while. When he was young, he let out a long sigh: "Oh, the old man has also been calculated!"

"Who is calculating you?" Yin Wugeng felt as if he had already asked the key point.

Shen Gongbao lowered his voice and said a person's name word by word - "Yuan, Shi, Tian, Zun!"

This name surfaced, in fact, Yin Wugeng was not too surprised, Long Ji had already told him some of the inside story of the God War, and he wanted to know something that he didn't know yet.

Shen Gongbao said this name as if he had unloaded a big stone in his heart, but he became relaxed, and said quietly: "Why did the War of the Gods suddenly break out? Why did it involve the Divine Dao, the Immortal Dao, the Humanity and the West? About 200,000 years ago, Fu Xi was the leader of the Six Realms, called the Emperor, established the Heavenly Court to rule the gods, and at the same time Ze was the human realm, and that time was also the golden age of the Immortal Dao, because many of the immortals who expounded the two sects today, such as Zhao Gongming, the Three Sisters of Yunxiao, and the Twelve Immortals of Kunlun, all entered or attained the Tao when they were emperors. However, about 30,000 years ago, Fu Xi retired to the Huoyun Cave, and before he retired, he and Nuwa jointly elected Haotian as the second emperor of heaven to rule the heavenly court. During the period, the ancient god of war was not satisfied, and Haotian competed for the throne, and was later beheaded by Haotian in Changyang Mountain, so far Haotian succeeded to the throne, called 'Haoshangtian Emperor'. However, since then, the human world has not yet flourished, there are not many cultivators, and most of them devote themselves to the immortal path, and there are very few people who enter the divine way; until Xuanyuan appeared three thousand years ago, defeated the demon Venerable Chiyou of the Jiuli Demon Clan, unified China, and was honored as the 'human emperor' by the Six Realms. Subsequently, the five emperors of the human world were fixed, Xia and Shang were replaced, and the human world flourished, and it has become the most important force in the six worlds......"

"Your ancestor of Yin Shang is also after Xuanyuan, the tribe prospered a thousand years ago, and the founding of the country was seven hundred years ago, and the founding ancestor was Chengtang. Starting from the Great Shang, the merchants did not believe in Shinto, did not respect Nuwa and the Emperor of Heaven, but served the imperial power and called themselves the Son of Heaven. This undoubtedly makes the people in charge of the immortal path and the Shinto way have to find a way to control the human world, and at this time, it is the 'WTO' that the sect is pursuing, so many sectarians have gone to the lower realm to assist the great businessmen and make contributions, in order to complement each other with humanity and join the same spirit. The most famous person is Taishi Wen Zhong, who is the elder of the Three Dynasties of the Great Shang Dynasty, and the four generals of the Demon Family, Yu Hua, Zhang Guifang and others are all members of the sect. In this way, the sect of interception flourished in the world, and the teachings that believed in 'self-cultivation in the world' naturally had no name, so how could they preach? Moreover, Shinto could not establish incense in the world, and naturally no one worshiped it. Between the fact that Hongjun Lao Zu was the leader of the Immortal Sect, Nuwa and the Emperor of Heaven did not dare to rashly ask the Immortal Sect, so they had to make a plan, and Nuwa Niangniang would open the king of the crime, and in the name of this to change the dynasty in the world; at the same time, the Emperor of Heaven issued an edict to teach the twelve golden immortals to go to heaven as officials, expand the way of Shinto, and make up for the shortcomings. However, how could the Yuan Shi Tianzun not know this plan of killing two birds with one stone? How could he easily let the disciples of the sect enter the Divine Dao? So he played Hongjun and asked the two sects to be compiled into the list of gods together with humanity, nominally to kill the immortals and let the immortals distinguish the jade; in fact, he pulled the sect into the water to find a backing for the twelve disciples under the seat, and at the same time asked the ancestor of Hongjun for the power of the god list. The Tongtian Sect Master also had a premonition that this battle would shake his foundation, so he ordered the sect members not to go out of the mountain. In this way, he happened to fall into the plot of Yuan Shi Tianzun, and Yuan Shi Tianzun unscrupulously let all the sect members help Zhou to take the lead, and then dragged the sect interceptors step by step......"

Yin Wugeng interrupted: "The people of the Sect of Interception are not all ignorant and ignorant, such as Yunxiao, she is the only Da Luo Jin Immortal of the Sect of Interception, she is well versed in cause and effect, how can she easily take risks? If it weren't for the general, you took Zhao Gongming's relics to persuade her to avenge her brother, and her three sisters would not have gone to the lower realm." There was a hint of anger and skepticism in his words.

Shen Gongbao's face turned red and sighed: "I ...... I'm also helpless! It's just that Yuan Shi Tianzun has already secretly instructed me to go to the Three Mountains and Five Mountains to invite the sectarians to the lower realm in order to fill the god list. If there is one more person on the list, there will naturally be one less person on the list. Tianzun promised me that after the matter was completed, I would not be allowed to be on the god list, but I could continue to stay in the exposition and practice, and my status was even higher than that of the Twelve Golden Immortals. Who knows...... Alas, it was all nothing. ”

Yin Wugeng's expression was gloomy for a while, it turned out that everyone in the battle of the gods seemed to be involuntarily, and in the face of the calculations and struggles of these saints, everyone was just a chess piece.

"That's it, it's all in the past......" Yin Wugeng sighed lightly, I don't know how many heroes, loyal ministers and filial sons have been buried in this sigh, and I don't know how many immortal roots have been broken......

Yin Wugeng cleaned up his mood, and finally knew the inside story of many things, and also had a clearer understanding of the saints in these Hongmeng. Heaven and earth are unkind and regard all things as dogs, and saints are unkind and use the people as dogs, but it is a pity that the saints have not been able to be free of joy and sorrow, not to fight and not to kill, this is also the sorrow of the Six Realms.

"There's one more thing I want to ask you. Yin Wugeng had one last question in his heart. "My eldest brother Yin Jiao ...... Where the hell did you go?"

"His Royal Highness Yin Jiao?" Shen Gongbao stroked his beard, shook his head and said: "I only know that in the past, he went to Xiqi to assassinate Ji Fa, and then disappeared, and I am afraid that only the saint knows the truth." What a pity! If he is here...... There may have been a glimmer of hope for Dashang back then. ”

Even Shen Gongbao didn't know the truth, Yin Wugeng sighed, resigned from Shen Gongbao, and returned to Biyou Palace. The five great immortals of the sect, Ma Sui, Wuyun Immortal, Golden Light Immortal, Lingfang Immortal, and Qishou Immortal stood at the door to greet them, and there were Kui Niu, Lingxi and Ziyun Immortal on the side, but Long Ji was missing.

Yin Wugeng seemed to have some premonition, and hurriedly asked, "Everyone, where is Long Ji?"

Ma Sui was a little helpless on his face, and replied: "Brother Yin, the clouds outside the palace are thick, and many heavenly generals are blocking the palace gate, and Li Jing, the leader of the Tota Heavenly King, is holding the Heavenly Emperor's edict, saying that Miss Longji is in the lower realm privately, and orders her to return to the heavenly court immediately. I wanted to wait until you came back to make a decision, but Miss Longji didn't want to have a conflict with his emperor, so she followed the king and took the first step. She has something to say to you, 'Don't go to heaven to look for me, I will see you again in the future'......"

'Long Ji has returned to Heaven?'

Yin Wugeng looked up at the sky and couldn't help but feel a little lost in his heart, after all, the sect was in ruins, and Long Ji could play a great role if he stayed by Yin Wugeng's side, but now that she was gone, Yin Wugeng's heart seemed to have lost an important pillar, empty.

'Why did you leave me at this time......
