That night, Zhang Zixing took Cai Yan back to Chaoge.

When they first met Cai Yan, the first reaction of Zhang Zixing's harem beauties was that her husband went to Xiqi to investigate the truth about Yi Jiang, and as a result, he kidnapped Yi Jiang.

Deng Chanyu's eyes widened, and she said: "Husband, you are too ruthless, you want to dominate Xiqi's land, you want to cut off Ji Fa's head, and you steal other people's wives......"

Bixiao immediately praised someone for Deng Chanyu with a supplementary "promising!", and deliberately stepped forward and pinched him fiercely "to encourage".

Cai Yan had seen his lineup as early as the way, and he had also heard that he had many masters. Now I see that these teachers and wives are all beautiful, more than themselves, and they are very affectionate with the teacher, and their behavior is bold, and they secretly let go of a trace of worry in their hearts and smiled.

Zhang Zixing was depressed, if he really turned his hand, it would be okay, he was accepted as an apprentice, isn't this even more wronged than Dou E? Cai Yan hurriedly met the masters and wives with the gift of a disciple, and the girls knew the reason for his grievances. But many people showed strange colors: Could it be the sunrise in the west mountains?

What's more, like Bixiao, he also pulled Cai Yan aside, instructed him to pay attention to, and gave him a magic weapon like a jade talisman, saying that if he encounters pervert harassment, he can crush it immediately, and his wife will come to perform the story of slaughtering wolves in the sky. Deng Chanyu has been very close to Bixiao recently, and also put forward a constructive suggestion of "using scissors is more convenient" to this sister, and Zhang Zixing was terrified when she heard it--- it was a good thing to accept apprentices, but she was stunned to be like this.

However, Zhang Zixing also discussed with Cai Yan before he came, and he couldn't reveal the origin, Cai Yan knew that this teacher had the supreme position. There is no room for mistakes, and even if she says it, no one will believe it, so she swore a heavy oath not to divulge the secret.

At this moment, Zhang Zixing received a report that there was a Xuandu Taoist outside, asking to see the national teacher Xiaoyaozi.

Zhang Zixing was taken aback: Is it a Xuandu Daoist, is it a Xuandu ** teacher, or is it ......

Zhang Zixing didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly ordered someone to invite this Xuandu Daoist to a quiet courtyard. Then go to meet in the form of a Xiaoyaozi.

When he saw this Xuandu Daoist, Zhang Zixing was shocked. Immediately ordered all the people to retreat--- and sure enough, as he expected, he came not to be the ** master of Xuandu, but the sage of Bajing Palace.

Zhang Zixing regained his true face and saluted Lao Tzu: "I have seen a saint." If the saint has something to do, he only needs to summon him, and I will go to the Eight Views Palace to listen to the teachings, so why should I come here in person. ”

Lao Tzu smiled and returned the salute, but did not answer, Zhang Zixing knew that Lao Tzu had some scruples at this time, and he also did not talk much about this matter, and asked: "I don't know if the saint came to sing today, what do you think?"

Lao Tzu said straight to the point: "Your Majesty." Poor Dao has been confused recently, and he also asks His Majesty to explain a thing or two for Poor Dao. ”

Zhang Zixing's heart moved. said with a smile: "The saint is so funny, I am a mortal person, an ant, how can I have the ability to solve the saint's doubts?"

Lao Tzu shook his head and said: "Your Majesty, why should you be too humble, if you are an ant, then below the saint, you are all ants." ”

"Isn't that exactly the case? below the saints, they are ants. Say something that offends the saints, in the way of heaven. All living beings are ants, even saints...... Humph......"

Although Zhang Zixing did not finish speaking. But Lao Tzu still heard the meaning of his words, and frowned: "Your Majesty has always had an extraordinary bearing. Why is there such a gaffe today?"

Zhang Zixing didn't answer, but asked rhetorically: "Sage, do you know about the innate treasure beating the divine whip?"

Lao Tzu was slightly startled, and said: "This is a big secret, but Your Majesty actually knows about it." Whipping the gods is an innate curiosity, and when there is a catastrophe, it should be robbed to determine the final number. If the time is not right, even if you deliberately look for it on weekdays, you will not be able to get its full form. Your Majesty has this question, could it be that the divine whip has been born?"

Zhang Zixing nodded, and said the matter of the three numbers of heaven, earth, and people, and Lao Tzu was even more shocked: "I can't imagine that the killing and robbery actually led to the birth of the Divine Whip! It seems that this catastrophe is not only a humane catastrophe, but also a catastrophe of the Three Realms! I think that back then, when the demons fought and the mountains and mountains led the heavens and the earth to collapse, the Divine Whip never came out of the catastrophe. ^^^^ is now in this world, and I am afraid that this catastrophe will be earth-shattering, and it is far beyond our imagination. In the end, although it is still the re-ranking of the Heavenly Dao and the positioning of the gods, the variables and damage in the meantime are even more unpredictable!"

Zhang Zixing hurriedly asked, "Could it be that enough people must die in order to complete the catastrophe of a certain one?"

Lao Tzu shook his head and said: "This catastrophe is by no means as simple as an ordinary battle or the number of life and death, death and injury are absolutely inevitable, and the momentum of the Three Realms must reach a certain balance, if it cannot be achieved, the war disaster will continue and cannot be contained." It's just that how to balance it, even for saints, don't know. ”

Zhang Zixing's heart sank, and he hurriedly asked, "Is there a way to stop it?"

"The general trend of the Heavenly Dao is like this, how can we stop it? Since it is the head of the catastrophe, the only way to deal with it is to deal with it. Lao Tzu looked at his tightly knit brows: "I see that Your Majesty is still persistent in this way of life and death, so he is so distressed." In the way of heaven, creation is endless, and all things are endless. The way of heaven is relisted, and it is inevitable that there will be changes in the prosperity and decline of life and death, Your Majesty is a wise person, with extraordinary knowledge, far above ordinary immortals, why is he so concerned?"

"Because I'm human. Zhang Zixing looked directly at Lao Tzu and said seriously: "I'm not a saint, nor an immortal, just a person." I can't compare with you saints or those immortals who are so profound that they can ignore life. I don't like to be the so-called savior of the world, but I can't watch so many innocent lives disappear and not exist in the world under the needs of the so-called Heavenly Dao, even if I can survive unharmed...... I also thought about using a trick to reverse this trend, but now I know that when I thought everything was under control, I failed, and it was quite completely defeated. I would like to ask the saint, if you use your mixed body to reopen the earth, water, fire, and wind with the great supernatural power, is there a way to avoid the destruction of the beings of the Three Realms?"

Lao Tzu pondered for a long time and did not answer positively. Instead, he asked: "Is the land plot used by Your Majesty a matter of the human world, but it is man-made, and then the battle of the human immortals is divided into actions, and finally the Western Zhou is destroyed with lightning speed, so as to complete the battle of the human world?"

Zhang Zixing trembled slightly, but his plan was guessed by Lao Tzu, but his face was silent: "I heard that this is the discussion of the saints, what does it have to do with me?" I'm just an ordinary son of heaven, how can I have such great ability?"

Lao Tzu looked at him deeply. said: "Your Majesty, although I don't know what your plan was to bring about this, but this time the battle between people and immortals must be your plan! On that day, you were in my Bajing Palace, and you used such a strange thing to show your heart to destroy the world. If my Dharma eyes are not bad, then such mysterious things do not belong to the realm of Taoism or magic weapons. At this moment, the battle of the human world has been completely man-made, if you use such strange things, let alone the Western Zhou, even if you want to destroy the world, it is enough. ”

Zhang Zixing saw that Lao Tzu's words had come to this point, and knew that the other party had seen through the plan. But he still didn't admit it directly, only said: "The saint can rest assured." Since I have promised you, I will never have such an extreme heart again, nor will I use that thing against the Western Zhou. ”

"Your Majesty is compassionate and compassionate, and has a great determination to save living beings and quell the scourge of war and killing, which can be called a great good. Poor Dao believes that His Majesty will not be radical to destroy the world, and it is said that in the Eight Views Palace that day, Poor Dao was finally a little worse, and was calculated by you, a fellow Daoist. But Your Majesty will not deceive me, but since you can create such strange things, can't you make other similar things? The hidden curiosity of the Great Merchant. Can the Western Zhou be defeated in an instant, what does Your Majesty think?"

Zhang Zixing laughed quietly: "Even if you don't use any strange things. I can do the same, can the saints believe it? But even so, what can I do, the calamity of the human world and even the tribulation of the Three Realms can never be stopped. If the killing and robbery continues, I will destroy the Western Zhou Dynasty and the princes, and it will be difficult to ensure that the distant foreign races will not change, and even if the foreign races are destroyed, it will be difficult to ensure that there will be no chaos within the Great Shang, and it will be protracted, and the world will eventually be in calamity and cannot be stopped. Do you really want to destroy the world in order to be killed?"

When Lao Tzu heard him say that "you can defeat the Western Zhou Dynasty without any strange things", his eyes flashed with astonishment, and he was more sure of his thoughts, but when he heard the latter words, he sighed: "It is impossible to destroy the world, but at that time, it is inevitable that the disaster will be killed, and the lives will be destroyed." I advise Your Majesty not to change the current situation by thunder for the time being, and try to make the battle of Shang and Zhou end as many casualties as possible, which will also be a merit at that time. As for the casualties, Your Majesty should deal with them with a normal heart. ”

Zhang Zixing thought that at that time in the Biyou Palace, the Tongtian Sect Master was so persuasive, and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "If I can deal with each other with a normal heart, I don't have to be so restless." ”

Lao Tzu shook his head and sighed: "Your Majesty's qualifications are extraordinary, and his wisdom is unparalleled, and he can make all the saints and even the general trend of killing and robbery in the plan. Although the current cultivation is regressive to a true immortal, the actual strength is only afraid that it has reached the realm of Xuan Immortal. With such a chance qualification, if you get a wonderful understanding over time, even if you can prove the Mixed Circle Road in one fell swoop, it is not impossible. ”

Zhang Zixing never thought that the mystery of his cultivation was also faintly peeped through by Lao Tzu, and he couldn't help but secretly admire: this saint of the Eight Views Palace is really powerful, and his strength can be called the first of the six saints.

But Lao Tzu's words that surprised him were still behind: "Below the sage, Poor Dao has seen many top-level Xuan Immortals, among them, the Eastern Emperor Taiyi of that year had the highest qualification, but Taiyi was too obsessed with power and power, but his mood fell behind, and he didn't know the big numbers, and finally died in the Five Immortals Mountain." Now your brother Kong Xuandi's qualifications are also extremely high, and his temperament is indifferent, he is not surprised, his cultivation is profound, and he has the Chaos Bell in his hand, and his strength is still above the second emperor of heaven and the first disciple of the third junior disciple, Duobao Daoren, and he can be called the first person of Xuan Immortal. But in comparison, Poor Dao was optimistic that His Majesty would be able to break through the supreme realm faster and become the seventh saint in the world. But if you want to become holy, you should destroy ignorance! If Your Majesty can let go of the obsession in your heart, the realm of cultivation will advance by leaps and bounds, and your strength will increase suddenly. If you can't let go, it will be even more difficult to increase your strength, let alone sanctify. ”

The seventh saint! Lao Tzu actually thinks so highly of him!

If you let go of that obsession, you will be able to make great progress in strength! If you can't let it go, it will be difficult to make an inch? Zhang Zixing's heart beat rapidly: Let go of attachment and ignore the annihilation of life and death in the world? Can you do it yourself?

He tried his best to suppress the contradiction in his heart and asked, "Thank you for the sage's suggestion, but the sage hasn't answered me yet, if you are a sage, how can you solve this catastrophe?"

Seeing that he was back on this topic, Lao Tzu couldn't help but shake his head secretly and replied, "So that Your Majesty can know." This general trend, even a saint, cannot be broken. Between heaven and earth, if you talk about this ability, there is only the teacher Hongjun. ”

Zhang Zixing's heart moved, he had judged from the news revealed by the Tongtian Sect Master that this master of the Three Qings, Dao Ancestor Hongjun, should be the original state of the universe when the heavens and the earth were not opened and the void was not divided, and he exploded in "Pangu". After dividing the stars and all things, they first condense into intelligent lifeforms. What he represents should be the general trend of the entire universe, or in other words, he himself is the supreme "Tao".

Zhang Zixing asked cautiously, "Dare to ask the saint." Where is Zixiao Palace?

"Your Majesty must have learned the name of the Teacher's Immortal Mansion from Senior Brother Tongtian, didn't the Third Senior Brother tell Your Majesty that the Zixia Palace is a separate place where the teacher opened up, not outside the thirty-three days?" Lao Tzu mentioned Hongjun, his face showed awe from the heart, "If the teacher has something to summon, the gate of Zixiao Palace will appear, if the teacher doesn't want to see it, even a saint can't find a trace." Even if His Majesty searched for thirty-three days. It's also useless. Zhang Zixing couldn't help but be depressed when he heard this, and Lao Tzu said: "Poor Dao came today. I was worried that His Majesty would act recklessly or destroy the Western Zhou with a strange weapon, but now it seems that His Majesty has known the number of days, but he is too worried. Your Majesty must remember that the victory or defeat of the human world this time is secondary, and the key lies in the tribulation of heaven, earth, and man. ”

Zhang Zixing nodded, and asked again, "Sage, will you be invited to the Zhuxian Array to help?"

Lao Tzu smiled and said: "With His Majesty's plan, even if the poor Dao has the heart to make a move, it should be limited by the Taiqing token." Your Majesty has no last resort. Why worry?"

"According to the three numbers of heaven, earth and man. The battle of Xuandao may not be able to end because of the Zhuxian Array. If there is still a confrontation with the Interception Sect, will the saints help the Yuan Shi Tianzun?"

Lao Tzu replied: "I should be the second junior brother first, although there is a matter of Taiqing token, but it is inevitable to help the second junior brother once, this matter cannot be repented." ”

"So, what about after one time?" Zhang Zixing did not relax: "Will you still help?"

Lao Tzu muttered: "At that time, there will be a number of free chances." ”

Zhang Zixing listened to Lao Tzu's vague answer, knowing that he had never completely given up the idea of helping to explain the teachings in his heart, and after obtaining Lao Tzu's promise to keep secrets, he summoned Cai Yan and told what Yuan Shi Tianzun had done.

Lao Tzu was shocked: Using the great supernatural power to reverse time and space without authorization and create an "artificial" body outside the life of the earth is really contaminated with the cause and effect of the earth, and it is extremely dangerous. Even if it is a saint, it cannot be completely freed, unless it can obtain a considerable degree of devotion power with the help of a person outside this life, and the cause and effect can be cleared. However, according to Lao Tzu, Cai Yan's extraterrestrial qi is very weak, and it is completely incomparable to him, and his role is relatively small, and even in the perspective of the saint's land, it is not worth paying much attention to.

Only then did Zhang Zixing know that Yuan Shi Tianzun sent Cai Yan to Xiqi as the queen, not only to explain the general trend of the future earth's luck, but also to wash away the cause and effect of his own reversal of time and space.

Lao Tzu thought of Yuan Shi Tianzun's questioning of himself in the Eight Views Palace, looked at Cai Yan again, and finally sighed. Then he pointed at Cai Yan, and a white light wrapped her, and she turned around before she faded away.

Only then did Zhang Zixing know that Yuan Shi Tianzun had a little more mind, and as a precaution, he set up a Yuqing mark on Cai Yan's body, which not only had a protective effect, but also found out that as long as she found something abnormal, no matter where she was, she could find out. This mark is quite secretive, and it has the power of chaos, and it is impossible to erase it silently unless the same saint intervenes.

Zhang Zixing couldn't help but secretly call for luck, if it weren't for Lao Tzu's move, he wouldn't know that there was such a way. If Yuan Shi Tianzun finds the song of the court, and then sees through the arrangement in Xiqidi, there will be big trouble.

Zhang Zixing thanked Lao Tzu again, Lao Tzu nodded at him, didn't say much, just sighed and went straight away. Zhang Zixing didn't ask Lao Tzu why he didn't expose him when the six saints gathered in the Eight Views Palace that day, some things don't need to be rooted, and it is better to have a hazy tacit understanding between them.

Although I don't know what Lao Tzu's final decision was, Zhang Zixing can be sure that Lao Tzu's heart to help explain the teachings is very different from the resolute attitude of the original book, and it can be regarded as a precaution for the Tongtian Sect Master.

As soon as he heard that only Hongjun had a way to crack the robbery that could make the whip appear, Zhang Zixing couldn't help but feel powerless, and subconsciously touched the five-colored mask on his face: Could it be the boss who gave this thing back then?

This mask and his face have become one, if there is nothing, he doesn't feel anything when he sleeps and wears it on weekdays, but he feels uncomfortable when he takes it off. Especially since he learned the Earth Purification Secret passed down by the Tongtian Sect Master, he seemed to have a strange sense of this mask, and it seemed that he could still feel a strange and faint power coming from it. This power also seemed to have played some unknown role when he was refining the Six-Rank Lotus Platform in the Mountains and Rivers Society Diagram, and because of this, he was able to successfully survive the most difficult moment with the Pure Heart Technique, and finally gained new strength.

He had suspected that the mask had been given to him by one of the great saints, but as he made contact with each of the six saints, and the temptation to knock on the side, it didn't feel like it was done by any one of them. With such an easy act, the original five-colored mask can be transformed into such a miraculous thing, and I am afraid that guess is likely to be true. If so, what was the man's motive at that time?

I didn't think about it for a while, why don't I show this mask to that "Li Daoyou", and then pretend to be the boss of Hongjun, and let him try to resolve the murder or explain the teachings? But Lao Tzu also said that the saint could not do anything about this murder, and besides, the Hongjun boss was no better than these ordinary saints, and he could not be easily provoked, and maybe his plan would be destroyed before it was completed.

Three days later, Xiqi City.

Ji Fa, who was waiting for a long time, finally got the reply conveyed by Jiang Ziya, "Yi Jiang".
