Chapter 134: The Three Saints of the Fire Cloud Cave Ask (I)
One of the two-horned saints spoke: "It turned out that the Son of Heaven of Great Shang was here, please hurry up, just now I calculated that there is a distinguished guest from Chaoge, I don't want it to be your majesty!"
Zhang Zixing listened to his tone and guessed that he was Fu Xi, the head of the Three Emperors, that is, Nuwa's brother, thinking of Nuwa's resentment towards him, he couldn't help beating a drum in his heart, and hurriedly said: "The three are all saintly emperors, eternal and eternal, how can Zixin He De, how dare you call the word 'Your Majesty' in front of the three saints?"
Fu Xi smiled slightly, but did not speak, Shennong, who was surrounded by the skin of the tiger and leopard on the left, said: "Your Majesty is too modest in what you say, Your Majesty has set up three books, released the bitter slaves, and lowered the rain...... The four seas are obedient, all the people praise it, this merit is immeasurable, there is an emperor in the human world, and the three of us are also very pleased. ”
Zhang Zixing knew as soon as he heard that the rainfall technique could be concealed from ordinary people, but it could never be concealed from this kind of person with great magical powers, so he did not defend it at the moment, and said respectfully: "Your Majesty the Earth Emperor and Sage planted grains, tasted herbs, and established medical Taoism, which is an immortal achievement. Zixin actually admired the three saints very much, and tried to steal the three saints as a model, determined to benefit all the people in the world. It's a pity that there is a disaster in the sect, there is Yue Wang Qi colluded with Lu Yue's disciple Zhu Tianlin, I don't know what tricks to use, and all the people in a county are bedridden, moaning endlessly, day and night, and even the concubines in my palace have been poisoned, and their lives are on the verge of death. Zi Xin Jin's special plea for Jin Rong, showing great mercy, and rescuing innocent lives, is really recreating Hong Grace, and virtue is like the deep sea!"
Fu Xi thought for a while, and said to Shennong on the left: "I want my generation to be the king, and gossip, and set rituals, and there is no trouble." If the opportunity is not clear today, and the killing and robbery have not yet come, it has already caused so many lives to be miserable, which is inhumane. The royal brother must not quit his hard work, and turn to Zhou Gong. "Brother Huang's words are reasonable. Shennong nodded, and asked Zhang Zixing again: "Your Majesty is well versed in pharmacology, and has written the book "The Book of Hundred Herbs", which is the book of doctors in the world, why is there nothing to be done about this poison?"
Zhang Zixing shook his head and sighed: "If it is an ordinary epidemic, how can you disturb the three Holy Emperors? ”
Shennong carefully inquired about the symptoms of Zhang Zixing's plague, and when he heard about the poisonous creatures in the river water, he sighed: "There must be yin and yang in everything, there are techniques for healing, and there are techniques for harming people." This is an unusual disease, it is the technique of distemper under the Shangqing Sect, which is extremely mysterious, no wonder with your medical skills, you can't detoxify. ”
Zhang Zixing was afraid that Shennong would discuss medical issues with him again and show his feet, so he begged Shennong to have mercy and save Chao Ge. Shennong agreed, got up and went inside to concoct the elixir.
At this time, the saint on the right wearing the emperor's robe spoke: "You have the Xuanyuan Dragon Control Technique, where did you learn it?"
Zhang Zixing understood that this person must be the human emperor and sage Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor, and hurriedly bowed to the Yellow Emperor. The Yellow Emperor did not shy away from it, and sat upright and accepted this gift. After Zhang Zixing finished saluting, he told the story of cultivating the [***] Sutra and the Xuanyuan Tomb to occasionally obtain the dragon control technique. The Yellow Emperor bowed slightly, and asked again: "Qingyu Boy came to report, there is a woman with you, is it a woman?"
Zhang Zixing knew that the matter of the female lu would definitely not be hidden from the righteous father of the Yellow Emperor, and replied: "It is the female lu, Zixin has recognized her as her sister and changed her name to Qinglan in front of people." In addition, Ying Long has reunited with the female lu, only because of the peace and injury, still recuperating in the court, unable to come to Jin to see the Holy Emperor, please forgive me. ”
The Yellow Emperor showed a look of relief: "You have done a very good job in this matter, Nulu and Ying Long were originally people with a hard life, and they were forced to separate back then, but now because of your strength, your long-cherished wish has finally been fulfilled, which is also a merit." ”
Zhang Zixing said a few words modestly, and then heard the Yellow Emperor ask again: "Is the Chiyou Blade 'Devourer' in your hands?"
Zhang Zixing knew the story of the Yellow Emperor and Chi You, and he didn't dare to slack off, took out the devouring spirit, and said that Yun Zhongzi used to give away the battle soul recipe: "In the past, I didn't know that the battle soul trick was Chi You's work, and under the diligent cultivation, I was promoted to the true martial spirit trick. That Yun Zhongzi must also not know the mystery of the Battle Soul Technique, otherwise how could it have been passed on to me in the first place?"
The Yellow Emperor said lightly: "The power on your body is very magical, the power of me and that Chiyou is incompatible, I don't want to be found by you to find another way, refine a place, and achieve the body of a true immortal, this is fine, if you only have the power of Chiyou, I can't keep you." ”
Zhang Zixing was secretly frightened, shivered, and asked: "Why did the Holy Emperor say this, there is no good or evil in power, the key lies in the person who uses it, although I learned the true martial arts spirit technique by chance, my heart has never wavered." ”
Fu Xi praised: "What a 'power has no good or evil, the key lies in people', Your Majesty is indeed a person of great wisdom, with spiritual understanding, no wonder can have today's achievements." ”
The Yellow Emperor also nodded in approval, and said: "Chi You is a descendant of the ancient demon god, very powerful, I fought with him several times back then, defeated more and won less, and finally got the help of the immortals, and won the battle in Zhuolu by luck." If it weren't for that, the human race would no longer exist in the world now!"
In ancient times, the strength of the human race was very weak, the most powerful were the demon race and the demon god race, the demon race was the most powerful, boasted of inheriting the orthodoxy of heaven and earth and ten thousand laws, and regarded itself as very high; The two demon clans refused to give in to each other, and finally started a big war. In the end, the Demon God Clan paid a terrible price, and finally destroyed the Lord of the Demon Clan, Di Jun and the Eastern Emperor Taiyi, but they were also greatly injured, and there were not many people left. And the remaining two demon gods Zhu Rong and Gonggong started an infighting because of the disagreement of the heavenly surname, and finally died together, and the Optimus Pillar Buzhou Mountain, which balances the heaven and earth, was also destroyed, and the entire space was in danger of destruction.
Chi You is the descendant of the ancient Demon God Clan, gathered the remnants of the Demon God Clan to make a rebellion at the time of the Yellow Emperor, if Chi You wins, the human race will completely become the slave or food of the Demon God Clan, and finally the Yellow Emperor still defeated Chi You and the Demon God Clan, and also achieved the Dao Fruit because of this great merit.
That true martial spirit recipe is the heart trick handed down by the ancient demon gods, even ordinary people, when they practice to a high level, they will turn into the body of the demon god, and then their hearts and surnames will change greatly and become a demon clan. Now that Zhang Zixing's True Martial Spirit Technique has reached the highest level, there is no abnormality or demon qi, and he can cultivate to the high level of Xuanyuan Dragon Control Technique at the same time, it can be seen that his supernatural powers are special, and he is not at all affected by the image of the power of the demon god, so the Yellow Emperor is relieved.
Zhang Zixing was taken aback, the true martial spirit trick is the magic of the ancient demon gods? Could it be that Xuanwu is the ancient demon god Xuandi? He originally thought that Emperor Xuandi was the black emperor of the three emperors and five emperors in ancient Chinese mythology, of course, there are many versions of the saying of the three emperors and five emperors, and now it seems that the three emperors are the three saints of Fuxi, Shennong, and the Yellow Emperor, and what about the five emperors? Is there such a concept? Are the traditional "four spirits" such as the green dragon and the white tiger all ancient demon gods? Or is there no such thing as the four spirits in this world?
Since this is the case, what does the phrase "collecting the qi of the four spirits" mean in the [***] Sutra that has always been incomprehensible?
Zhang Zixing thought for a while, and suddenly thought: According to what the Yellow Emperor said, Fei Lian, who was the arm of Chi You at that time, must also be the remnant of the demon god, so it seems that his intentions lurking in Chaoge are likely not so simple...... Just as he was thinking about it, Shennong had already walked out of the inner room and handed him a gourd.
"There are ten pills in this, which can cure the poison of the plague pill. One will save your inner palace maids, the other will be dissolved with water to relieve the plague, and then one will be thrown into the river water to remove the source of poison. There are seven more to be given to you, which will be of use in the future. ”
As soon as Zhang Zixing heard that everyone was saved, he was overjoyed and thanked. Shennong raised his hand slightly, stopped him from saluting in the distance, and ordered the Qingyu boy to give him a seat, Zhang Zixing didn't even dare to say it, Fu Xi said: "You are the supreme of today, the emperor of the human race, so you don't need to be humble in front of us, just normal." We have also heard about your words in the Nuwa Temple back then, and now it is the right time for them to discuss it in detail. ”
Zhang Zixing couldn't help but feel apprehensive when he heard Fu Xi mention the matter of Nuwa Temple, after all, they are brothers and sisters, no matter how they say, it is reasonable to be protected.
Seeing his complexion, Fu Xi knew his concerns, and smiled, "Is Your Majesty still worried about the matter of Nuwa Temple?"
Zhang Zixing smiled bitterly: "Zi Xin is a mortal and short-sighted, and he only sees the interests of the people of the human race at the moment, so he naturally can't conform to the 'way of heaven' like the saints, and see it so long-term." ”
Shennong shook his head: "I think Your Majesty has misunderstood, the three of us have achieved the way of the Holy Emperor because of their merits, but they are not true saints." ”
Zhang Zixing had always thought that these three were real saints, so when the Yellow Emperor saw his true cultivation at a glance, he was not surprised, and now when he heard Shennong's words, he was really surprised.
Shennong explained to him that the Saint Emperor Dao of merit achievement is not the same as that of saints, strictly speaking, their strength level is still not out of the category of Xuan Immortals, but unlike ordinary cultivators of the top level of Xuan Immortals, they have an additional kind of "bit" power, and this "bit" represents a specific class in the Heavenly Dao, such as the Holy Emperor of the Three Emperors, the Heavenly Emperor of Haotian God, the Heavenly Mother of Yaochi Golden Mother, etc. Combined with the strange power of this "position", the strength of the Three Emperors should surpass that of ordinary Xuan Immortal peak cultivators, and the saints will not easily attack people with "position" power, because this represents a certain law that violates the way of heaven, which will lead to great cause and effect, and will be severely punished by heaven.
To a certain extent, the Terran emperor is also equivalent to a kind of "position", unless it is because of the Terran itself, ordinary immortals do not dare to harm at will.
Zhang Zixing only then knew the concept of the position of the Holy Emperor of Merit, and secretly estimated it in his heart, analyzing it with the current situation, although he didn't know what special power that kind of "position" had, but if he relied on his real strength, even if the three emperors worked together, he was afraid that it would be difficult to defeat the saint.
The Yellow Emperor said: "In the past, when you were in the Nuwa Temple, you asked the sage of Emperor Wa to say goodbye, during which there were arrogant words that you would rather give up your cultivation or even the throne in exchange for the peace of the people, which shows its virtue. The three of us are all people who have experienced the throne, although there are some virtues that benefit the people, but they have never had such a great benevolence as you, and if they get along with you in another place, they are also ashamed. ”
Even Zhang Zixing was thick-skinned, he was a little embarrassed by Fu Xi's praise - what he said to Nuwa at that time was all scheming.
Fu Xi smiled: "You are not small, you dare to question the saint like that, and dare to make a gambling contract, no wonder my sister came to Huoyun Cave when she mentioned you, the 'arrogant' son of heaven was angry." ”
Zhang Zixing didn't know what he meant, so he had to say cautiously: "When Zixin was also impulsive, under his enthusiasm, he offended Nuwa Niangniang, and asked the Holy Emperor to forgive him." ”
Fu Xi waved his hand, and four lines of poetry appeared on the stone wall behind him, which was deliberately left by Zhang Zixing in Nuwa Temple.
"A good grind is still strong, let the east and west, north and south wind," Fu Xi praised: "Your Majesty is really talented, this sentence is very wonderful, it must be the sentence of Your Majesty's Mingzhi, I love this poem very much, so I engraved it and kept it for viewing." ”
Zhang Zixing saw that Fu Xi was not angry, and said tentatively: "Zixin also knows that when he was bold and reckless, he offended the saint, and now he is waiting to make great efforts to govern the world and change the world, and there will be some obstructions at present, but once the reform is successful, the people will be happy, and the soldiers from all directions will be relieved, and they will avoid killing and robbing." ”
Fu Xi sighed and said, "Your Majesty is bad! It seems that Your Majesty still doesn't understand what killing and robbery is. ”
Zhang Zixing's heart moved, and he hurriedly asked for advice. Fu Xi's answer was beyond his expectations: killing and robbery is equivalent to a kind of order in the Heavenly Dao, and it can also be said to be a kind of re-establishment of the "position", which is the trend of the rules of the Heavenly Dao, and it is inevitable that it can only be robbed.
Fu Xi said this, Zhang Zixing faintly understood the meaning of the god list, that "Haotian God ordered the twelve immortal heads to be ministers", is also a product of complying with this rule, and the various sects are taking advantage of this opportunity to compete for luck, justifiably fighting each other on a large scale, after the killing and robbery, the rules are established, and the winning sect is naturally the biggest winner, and the losing sect will naturally have to wait for the next killing to take revenge. In the original book, Yuan Shi Tianzun disregarded his face and almost shamelessly personally dealt with the junior of the sect, but I am afraid that this is also the reason, losing face is a trivial matter, if you lose luck, it will be a big loss.
Zhang Zixing thought for a long time and said with a wry smile: "If according to this rule of heaven, even if I govern the world more stable, the people will inevitably be ruined, and killing and robbery will be inevitable." It's just that Zi Xinxi is the lord of the human race, how can he bear to watch the lives and deaths of the common people in the world due to the calamity of war? Could it be that for the sake of this so-called Heavenly Dao, our human race can only be killed by the neck and become the sacrifice of these immortals?"
The three Holy Emperors looked at each other, sighed in unison, and did not speak.
