Chapter 1 A Different World
"I never thought that heaven and earth are the co-lords, and the people and gods are supreme. At that time, I was just a little shrimp, who would have expected it...... The world is impermanent. ”
A long time later, the Jade Emperor said to his fellow countryman, the Sun God Jun. The biggest danger he faced at the beginning was the shame of Jingkang, who would have thought that this ghost world would be a mythical version of Xianxia, but the flow of history is the same as the original time and space?
......
Waking up from ignorance again, Zhang Qian is no longer a small grassroots in a third-tier city in the 21st century, he has become a child of a forbidden army in Bianjing in the Northern Song Dynasty.
Looking at the simple and simple dormitory in front of him, looking at the oil lamp on the corner of the room, Zhang Gan could be sure in his mind that he had really crossed over, and his immature little hands. At this moment, an indescribable sense of loneliness enveloped him, even if he still has a younger brother in the 21st century, he owes a lot of his parents' nurturing grace for more than 20 years.
In the previous world, after coming out of a second-rate school, I found a job in society, and I was filial if I could take care of myself and not gnaw at the old, and I really thought too much about counting on that salary to be filial to my parents.
Zhang Qian glanced at the sky outside the window, before dawn, and now before that morning class. He really wants to say goodbye to everything he loved in the past - parents, relatives, friends, and girlfriend who finally got along, and then face a new life!
However, speaking of which, his starting point in this life is much higher than in his previous life. Zhang Qian thought of his hard work in society in his previous life, and he couldn't help but think of his identity in this life, and not only recalled the scene he had just experienced......
What does it feel like to have a soul and a body, a soul and a soul?
It's not intoxicated, it's like being pregnant. Instead, it hurts to the bone marrow, which is unforgettable. Zhang Qian, who is now extremely pale, has just gone through a real Daoshan hell. What is the taste of Ling Chi with a thousand cuts, what is it like just now.
It was unbearable.
When his head was pierced by that damn broken jade, there was still infinite consternation in Zhang Gan's eyes. He didn't believe that his luck would be so bad, and it was rare that he encountered an incredible landslide and ground crack on a trip. A mountain with an altitude of one or two thousand meters suddenly collapsed without warning, as if the sky had collapsed in an instant, and the earth had been destroyed at the end of the world.
In the landslide, Zhang Qian was like a frightened little mouse, hiding far away, and he ran as far as he could at the foot of the mountain. And he obviously hid far away, but he was still hit by a flying stone......
A very fast stone that made a 'biubiu' sound like a bullet, and he could even hear his own head being shattered. It looks like a big watermelon has fallen to the ground.
When he came back to his senses, his soul had already been brought to this world by that damn broken jade.
In this life, his name is still Zhang Qian, and he is the fifth among the younger generation of the family, and he is now fifteen years old.
It's just that Zhang Qian, who is a son of a soldier of the Bianjing Forbidden Army like Zhang, is already fifteen years old, and he is neither practicing fists, feet, guns and sticks so that he can 'inherit' the family business in the future, nor is he actually turning into a mason craftsman, but he is a small Taoist priest in the army as a cow and a horse and a slave in the army the day after tomorrow.
Zhang Qian is now a little Taoist, and he is an authentic Taoist disciple who has officially entered the Taoist family, and he is also the most prominent disciple of the Shenxiao Sect in the Great Song Dynasty. That is equivalent to entering a large national enterprise, and wearing an official hat as a small leader.
This identity, this future, is really much higher than his previous life.
Now it is the sixth year of the Great Song Dynasty, but this Great Song Dynasty is not the rich but not strong Great Song in his world history textbooks. This Great Song is the mythical Xianxia version of the Great Song. There are Buddhism and immortals, there are military powers, martial arts can be through the gods, and Confucianism can dispel witches and ghosts, this is a magical world of high law and high martial arts.
The unattainable God of Haotian is eternal and is worshiped by the emperors of all dynasties.
Last year, Liu Zhongwu, the general of the Western Army, attacked the Western Xia, and was defeated by the hands of the Western Xia Buddhist master Song Qinba in Zangdihe City, the army formation was broken, the Pingrong Wanquan array was destroyed, and the army suffered heavy losses. Put it in the real version of the Northern Song Dynasty, it was a great defeat, more than 20,000 soldiers of the Western Army, and the entire Western Army lost one-tenth. But now the Xianxia version of the great Song family has a great cause, although the Pingrong Wanquan array plate is a treasure of the soldiers, it is the proud work of Song Taizong's life, each sacrifice of a formation plate needs to consume more than 100,000 catties of red gold and fine iron, and there must be countless treasures and wizards to combine it, and then be introduced by the great magic of the soldiers, nourished by the spirit of the army, more than ten years of Fangcheng, it is a pity to be destroyed, but this only hurts the fur of the Great Song Dynasty.
It is said that there are no less than ten such arrays in the arsenal of Bianjing, not to mention the treasures of the secret methods in the hands of the generals in the court, and it is said that the ancestors of the Great Song Dynasty, who were born in the soldiers, are said to have the eight formations of the soldiers and the treasures of the Wuhou. There were 800,000 forbidden troops inside and outside Bianjing. Therefore, in Bianjing City, there are songs and dances that continue to be sung and danced, and the songs and dances are leveled.
But Zhang Qian, who has already entered the Taoist register, knows that it is just a surface.
The true reflection is that when the court officials heard the news of Liu Zhongwu's defeat in Zangdi River City and the subordinates of the Buddhist master, they were furious, and immediately sent Wang Laozhi and Wang Zaizhi to worship the two royal infants, and led many people of the Daolu Division to Western Xia and fought with the Buddhist monks of Western Xia.
Wang Laozhi and Wang Zai are all Taoist real people, masters in the infancy of the Yuan Dynasty, each with a spiritual treasure in hand, not inferior to the Buddhist master. Then there are Daolu Divisions and Daoist people as wings, although they did not sweep Western Xia, they also destroyed Zangdi River City. This made today's officials feel comfortable.
Compared with Western Xia, the Great Song Dynasty is still much stronger.
You must know that just two years ago, the Western Army of the Great Song Dynasty, with Tong Guan as the supervising army, with the famous soldier Dao as the commander, and Liu Fa as the deputy, defeated the main force of the Western Xia Army in the ancient bone dragon, and shocked the enemy. Not to mention the number of Western Xia soldiers killed in that battle, there were as many as three Western Xia Buddhist masters alone. The three Taoist Yuanying real grade Buddhist masters, it is a painful loss to be placed in any sect, that is, the country can afford it.
Last year. Liu Fa, a famous general of the Western Army and a soldier that Tong Guan has always relied on, once again commanded an army of 200,000 troops to attack Xia, Liu Zhongwu certainly suffered defeat along the way, but the main force led by Liu Fa returned victorious.
Liu Zhongwu's loss in strength was small, but the defeat of Zhao Guan's family was great.
Zhao Ji was furious, and the court did not dare to say that the immortal road and the country would not help, and the two families of soldiers and Confucianism were enough to determine the world.
Gai because Liu Zhongwu had 50,000 elite soldiers under him, but he was defeated by a Buddhist master, and nearly half of the army lost its division, which was too disproportionate between the two sides. At least the soldiers lost face in this battle.
The soldiers and Confucians in the Zhao and Song dynasties were very incompatible with each other, but they were very able to work together when facing the monks. The scale of the Daolu Division has always been limited by the civil and military families. Liu Zhongwu's defeat this time gave Daolu Division a big excuse to increase his strength.
For Zhang Qian, a little shrimp, the most important thing is that the Zhao Guanjia used this as an excuse to recruit Lin Lingsu, the head of the Shenxiao faction, into the court. This gave him, a disciple of the Divine Heaven Dao, tangible benefits. There is a kind of rush for private enterprises to become state-owned enterprises. This can also be seen as the influence of the enlightened monks.
Liu Zhongwu Zangdihe City was defeated by the hands of Song Qinba, the master of the Western Xia Buddhism, the army formation was broken, and the Pingrong Wanquan array was destroyed, which is the power of the monks. That Buddha cultivator is also a monk, and the Buddhist master of Western Xia is like the Yuanshen Golden Body of the Middle-earth Buddhism, and the Yuanying real person of Taoism. Of course, those who are skilled in martial arts are not afraid of monks, but the best way to deal with monks is to send monks.
The current Shenxiao Dao Sect Master Lin Lingsu is the most popular immortal Dao giant in the world that day.
Lin Lingsu's age is not very old, compared to those old mages who are a lot older with eyebrows and beards, but are still in the foundation building period or the Jindan stage, Lin Lingsu was only forty years old when he was promoted to Yuanying Zhenren. It's incredible.
You must know that the Immortal Dao is not comparable to the Art of War and Martial Arts. The latter is gifted, and he can have the power to dominate the world at a young age, such as the overlord of Chu, Zhuge Wuhou, etc. But the fairy road is different. Even the famous Lu Zu Lu Dongbin, who was enlightened by Zhong Liquan, and Huang Liang saw through the world's fame in a dream, and they were all forty-nine-year-old Zheng Huolong's real sword transmission and became a Yuan Baby. Although he only practiced the Void Merge Dao for the next fifteen years, he became an earth immortal. In another thirty-six years, he survived the three tribulations of thunder, yin fire, and wind, accumulated 3,300 good deeds, and soared in the day.
Chen Tuan, who is known as the 'immortal of the world', is still trapped in the mortal world. Chen Tuan, who was born in the twelfth year of Tang Xiantong, is now twenty-five years old, that is, one hundred and forty-five years old. The day of becoming a baby is already eighty out of sixty, and an ordinary immortal monk, more than forty can become a golden pill, he is already a Taoist master, and this life can be expected.
Lin Lingsu proved Yuan Ying in less than forty, which can be said to be shocking, there is no one before, and there will be no one after that.
Therefore, Shenxiao Sect Master Lin Lingsu is really in the limelight in this world. Less than forty years old is already a real person, with his qualifications, the coming day is not a problem, and the daytime soaring is also expected.
Zhang Qian is a disciple of Shenxiao Dao, and his cognition of Lin Lingsu can be said to be mythical.
Lin Lingsu entered the temple as a novice in his early years, and was hesitant by Buddhism for many years. Anyway, Shenxiao Dao is hostile to Buddhism, and Zhang Gan, as a traverser, knows better that Lin Lingsu in history is going to break the Middle-earth Buddhism. But that was the Great Song of the material world, and now this is the Xianxia version of the Great Song.
After Lin Lingsu broke away from Buddhism, he split the jade cage and flew the colorful phoenix, and smashed the jade pillar and walked the dragon. Born with wisdom roots, shoulders with atmospheric luck, just 20 years into the Tao to become a real person, good at the law of the five thunders, for today's Taoist giants.
This time it was announced by the official family, it was a love at first sight and a love at first sight. Then Lin Lingsu was the right record, and he was given the name of Mr. Tongzhen Daling, and ordered to build the Shenxiao Longevity Palace and open the Shenxiao Record Altar. The Shenxiao faction, which was originally only an emerging sect among the people, although the development speed was quite fast, no matter how fast it was, it could not compare to the official family's mouth, and in that instant, the Shenxiao faction became the most popular school in the world.
In the eyes of outsiders, this is the shit luck of Lin Lingsu. The defeat of Zangdi River gave a cadre of civil servants and military generals in the court no excuse to resist the monks entering the court, and the expansion of the Daolu Division became logical. Zuo Daolu Xu Zhichang unexpectedly did not introduce the Huashan faction Yunke real person who was close to him for the emperor, but introduced Lin Lingsu to the official family unrelatedly. But before he started as a Shenxiao faction, as far as Zhang Qian, who worshiped under the Shenxiao Dao because of his good roots, he knew that his sect leader and the official Zhao Ji had already known each other.
And for the important ministers of the civil and military families who supported the entire Great Song Dynasty, it is better to let Lin Lingsu, a Shenxiao real person with a protruding peak in recent years, enter the dynasty than an old monster pulled out by the emperor from the Huashan faction. No matter how awesome Lin Lingsu's Shenxiao True Thunder is, in the final analysis, he is still a Yuanying real person with no roots. Huashan Road has Chen Tuan, an old immortal.
The Shenxiao sect is also more of a title for folk believers, and in the cultivation realm, the Shenxiao Dao is the real title. Just like the Huashan faction, also known as the Huashan road.
Xu Zhichang's introduction is just a formality, without him, there are Wang Zhichang and Li Zhichang. But what is the reason, why the current emperor Zhao Ji is so favored by Lin Lingsu and the Shenxiao faction, this is a mystery.
Anyway, Lin Lingsu has gained the trust of the emperor, and the momentum of the Shenxiao faction among the people and the status of the Shenxiao Dao in the cultivation realm have also risen. Lin Lingsu sat on the right Daolu of the Daolu Division, which was the second-in-command after Xu Zhichang of the Left Daolu.
Xu Zhichang is the second disciple of Huashan Chen Tuan's ancestor, representing the Huashan faction, which is the only super faction in the Dao sect today that has an earth immortal sitting on the bright side. The Daolu Division is in charge of the Taoist sect of the world, and Xu Zhi often sits in the first place, and no one can say that he has to say. And Lin Lingsu sat in the position of the right Daolu, which was a step to the sky.
The Daolu Division represents the imperial power.
Although this is a magical world where Taoism manifests saints, this does not mean that the power of Taoism can dominate everything in the world.
On the contrary, this immortal monk has the upper hand against the secular imperial power. Because the imperial power is dependent on human luck, it is not mentioned in ancient times, and the co-master of the human race is the real co-master. Not to mention the pre-Qin era in the early years, even during the Northern and Southern Dynasties after the Three Kingdoms and the Jin Dynasty, none of them were puppets controlled by the Taoist sect. The Eastern Jin Dynasty was so weak that it exterminated the rebellious Heavenly Master Dao, and the power of the way of military force in battle was stronger than that of the immortal dao. Perhaps thousands of years later, the martial arts of the military family have declined, and when the immortal dao is prosperous, the Taoist sect can take power in the earthly dynasty like a puppet. Because the immortal path can live forever, this point is difficult to compare with Confucianism. If the Immortal Dao can accumulate dozens of Earth Immortals, just like the countless Xianxia fantasy novels that Zhang Qian read in his previous life, or like the post-Tang Dynasty Secession Era, the Taoist sect can also override the imperial power and the world. But now it's not going to work anyway, it's the world of imperial power now.
The martial arts of this world are extraordinary, inherited from ancient times, and the evolution of the military array to the highest can become a world of its own, such as a small world like the blessed land of the cave; It can be said that it is not inferior to the monks. Even in today's era, it is not impossible for a person with advanced martial arts, such as a few martial arts masters on the bright side of the court and the opposition, to kill a real immortal in the infancy stage of the Yuan Dynasty. The Taoist sect could not threaten the supremacy of imperial power at all.
Before the Zhao and Song dynasties established the world, from the Later Tang Dynasty to the five dynasties and ten kingdoms for more than a hundred years, the battle between Buddhism and Taoism was fierce, and the losses were also great, and the cultivation realm also fell too many masters due to the struggle and luck backlash. Yuanying Zhenren is the pillar of many Taoist sects. How is it possible not to bow down to the imperial power?
Fortunately, the strength level of the martial arts soldiers in this world is also declining, which makes the monks' hearts feel a little better. If this mortal world is still like the Three Kingdoms at the end of the Han Dynasty, the grandmasters are all over the place, and the martial artists are as many as dogs, and only the great grandmasters can shake it, and this immortal path will be trampled into the dirt. Even if he can live forever, he can't afford to be the darling of heaven and earth.
Now there is only one earth immortal in the entire Han family, but there are at least dozens of people of the rank of Liu Zhongwu in the Zhao and Song dynasties, as well as stronger ones such as the brothers of the family, Liu Fa, and Zhe Keqiu, who are in charge of the treasures of the soldiers, and then there are soldiers in hand, which one can't fight against the Yuanying Zhenren? Or even kill the Yuanying Zhenren?
Power is power, so this imperial power is still awesome, and they still have Confucianism. Confucian justice is full of goodness, although there is no great power of heaven and earth, and it cannot live forever, but the imperial envoy heaven and earth/humanity and righteousness can punish evil and ward off demons. The world's Buddhist monks, demons and monsters, who can be inseparable from heaven and earth? If you have it, you will go around the Confucian scholars.
Looking at the past history, the weight of the military family in history is much heavier than that of Taoist Buddhism. Even the martial arts were once included in the category of soldiers after the collapse of the Xia Shang Zhou, and the martial arts of the soldiers seemed to be the same concept as the Taoist immortal and ghost daos. The status of the soldier saint Jiang Shang is even higher than that of the literary saint Confucius. The great god of the soldiers in the pre-Qin and Han dynasties was also the existence of the Wufang Emperor.
Therefore, the monarchy is supreme and the imperial power is supreme. All dynasties and dynasties also had Daolu Division, leading the world's Daomen. Shenxiao Dao is the Dragon Court, but they have also made a lot of money.
