Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Hedgekeeper

The dervish had already told Lu Zheng that the human world and the spiritual world were separated by a fence, and told him that this fence was planted by a great person. The back and forth are related, and Lu Zheng naturally guessed it easily.

Sure enough, the ascetic also nodded and said, "Well, little donor, you guessed well......

The dervish was about to continue, but Lu Zheng pursed his lips and said, "Great monk, I don't have anything to give to you, and I have a name." You always call me a little donor, a little donor, why don't you call me by my name?"

Seeing Lu Zheng pouting and talking to himself, the ascetic was stunned for a moment, with a complicated look in his eyes, and he was a little distracted somehow. Seeing this, Lu Zheng was timid in his heart, and said with a dry smile: "Great monk, don't you want to call me by my name?"

The dervisheck came back to his senses and took two steps before he said, "No, it's just that the way you looked just now reminded the poor monk of a person, and she should be about the same age as you this year." ”

Lu Zheng saw him say this, there was a special softness in his eyes, I don't know who made the dervish so concerned, the ascetic has never looked at himself with such a gaze, his heart was inexplicably sour, and asked, "Who is it?"

The dervish noticed it and asked, "Is it cold?" as he asked, and a warm current surged through his palm. He replied, "It's a person who worries the poor monks." ”

Lu Zheng shrank his hand and wanted to pull his hand out of the ascetic's hand, but after all, he still didn't, and forced himself to laugh a few times and said: "No, it's not cold at all, great monk, how can there be anyone who makes you worry about your stomach, I thought that the only one who was worried about the great monk was the Buddha!"

The ascetic was a little unconcerned, and he didn't notice the slight coldness in Lu Zheng's words, but sighed deeply and said: "Sentient beings, hey, don't mention it." I'll keep telling you the story. ”

Lu Zheng saw that he looked a little lonely, and couldn't help but regret what he said just now, and said immediately: "Okay, great monk, you go on, how did that amazing person save the two seniors?"

The ascetic said: "On that day, the ten demons besieged the two Venerables, and they were about to kill them. The two senior Venerables were also ready to give it a go, and the two sides were on the verge of breaking out. At this moment, a young man came from nowhere, suddenly appeared at the scene, and drank the two sides who were about to start. After the young man had drunk both of them, he offered to make a bet with the ten monsters. He said that the Earth Demon Candle Jiuyin had made a bet with Tan Huazun and Xuan Miaotian before, and he would make the same bet with them today, and the bet would not change, it was this world!

For some reason, the ten monsters agreed to the gamble, but suggested that the way of the bet was up to them, and the young man had no objections. Tan Huazun and Xuan Miaotian, the two seniors, although they didn't know this young man and didn't know what his origin was, this young man suddenly appeared and said that he wanted to make this bet with the Ten Demons, obviously to help him. This young man was able to appear in their vicinity quietly, and his supernatural skills would not be far behind. But now these ten monsters have to decide the way they gamble, and the two seniors have already been fooled once, knowing that these monsters are tricky, for fear that the young man will make a mistake, so he naturally refuses. Unexpectedly, the young man stopped them, and let the ten monsters say that no matter what kind of gamble, he took it.

So the ten monsters deliberated for a while, and proposed that the ten of them form a Tai Chi array and trap the young man in it. If he can break out of the formation unscathed, even if he wins, then the demons will withdraw from the world and never invade again. When the two seniors heard this, they were even more furious, not to mention that the ten demons themselves were supernatural and powerful, and snatched the eight major artifacts of the Daomen from the three mountains of Daohai, if these eight artifacts were used to form a Taiji formation, it would not only increase all kinds of mysterious changes, but also greatly improve their magical powers, and it would be impossible for anyone between heaven and earth to break out of the formation.

Therefore, as soon as they proposed such a gambling method, they were strongly opposed by the two seniors. But I didn't expect that the young man would directly accept it!"

The two of them said as they walked, Lu Zheng gradually lost his strength, and the ascetic still asked him to sit on the back frame and carry him up, and perform the magic method on the mountains of these two realms.

The dervish continued: "After the two parties have agreed, they will make a vow between heaven and earth together. The Ten Demons really used the eight great artifacts of the Dao Sect to form a Taiji array. This Tai Chi formation borrows the power of heaven and earth, and the foundation of the formation is to trap the young man with the power of 100,000 mountains, and then cover the top with a dark cloud formation and bombard it with the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder. During this period, there are countless Gangfeng wandering in the array, all of this, plus there are ten demon main arrays in the array, so the array hides countless mysterious changes, and has the power to seize heaven and earth, it can be said to be the first divine array between heaven and earth throughout the ages!"

Lu Zheng listened energetically and said, "The first divine array in the past, this Taiji array is so powerful! But that amazing young man can also be regarded as the first master in the past." This is the first master in the past and the present to the first divine array in the past and present, the great monk, how did that young man break this Taiji array?"

The dervish shook his head and said, "Taiji Array? That master didn't break any Taiji Array at all, because not long after he entered the formation, he found that in fact, this array had somehow become a more powerful Wuji Array. ”

"Infinite Array, why did it become Infinite Array again, are those monsters cheating again? That's bad, then what should he do?" Lu Zheng let out an exclamation.

The ascetic shook his head and said, "The poor monk doesn't know the inside story. The situation that day, except for the two seniors Tan Huazun and Xuan Miaotian who were present, no one else knew, and it is said that the two seniors were also in the array outside the Qianli Array, so they didn't know much about the inside story of this gambling battle, and when they found out that the ten demons were not formed by the Taiji Array, but the Wuji Array, it was too late. Because the Infinite Array does not belong to the worldly array, once it is activated, it will disappear between heaven and earth, so no one can see it between heaven and earth. So the two seniors just saw the result of this gambling array!"

Lu Zheng asked, "What is the result?"

The dervish replied: "Six of the ten major demons were killed on the spot, while the remaining four demons were sealed by that young man in the four secret realms of the southeast, northwest, and north. Since then, there has been an extra fence in the world, separating the human world from the cultivation world!"

Lu Zheng couldn't help but admire: "Great monk, you are right, this person is really a great person, what is his name?"

"No one knows," the dervish sighed, "even the two seniors, Tan Huazun and Xuan Miaotian, who have only seen him, don't know where he came from. The two seniors explained the process of this incident, and the world learned that a young man had saved the world. Because they didn't know his name, people in the cultivation world in later generations used to call him along with Dao Ancestor and Buddha, and honored him as the Holy Sect. ”

Lu Zheng listened fascinated, recited the name of the 'Holy Sect' several times, and said: "Holy Sect, what does this mean? Since he is called the same as the Buddha and the Dao Ancestor, and the other two are called the Ancestors, then is he not called the Holy Ancestor?"

The ascetic said: "Hehe, since ancient times, only the Buddha and the Taoist Ancestor, except for them, no one dares to call the ancestor, calling him the Holy Sect is already a very high praise for this master." The so-called Holy Sect means "the person is also holy, the sect of all laws". The previous sentence 'his people are also holy' is intended to praise his deeds of slaying demons, and he is a saint who saves all people. The latter sentence 'the sect of all laws' is that later generations admire his magical powers, and he won a battle with ten demons with the strength of one person, which can be described as a vast supernatural power, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the sect of supernatural powers in the world. ”

Lu Zhengdao: "So that's the case, then where did the Holy Sect go after defeating these monsters?"

The ascetic said: "According to the two seniors, Tan Huazun and Xuan Miaotian, as soon as the Infinite Array broke, they neither saw the ten monsters nor the young man again, but only received a thought from the young man that informed them of the fate of the ten monsters and the fact that he had planted a fence.

Therefore, regarding the whereabouts of the Holy Sect, for 3,000 years, it has been a mystery in the cultivation world. There are also all kinds of rumors about his whereabouts, some say that he died in that great battle, some say that he has ascended, but after all, no one knows where he has gone, let alone who he really is! But no matter what, if it weren't for the Holy Sect, I'm afraid that the human beings in this world would have been slaughtered by demons long ago!"

It turns out that this is the origin of a fence! When Lu Zheng heard this, he realized that so many things had happened in ancient times, and this shijie was not what he had imagined. But then he remembered the previous question in his heart, and asked: "Great monk, I still don't understand, since the Holy Sect's predecessors planted the fence, since it was to prevent monsters from invading the world, then Weishenme that snake demon can still go to the world to kill people?

The ascetic said, "Little benefactor, as the poor monk said before, the purpose of the fence is not to isolate the world from the cultivation world. The intention of the Holy Sect's predecessors to plant this fence is not that monsters do not enter the world, but that supernatural powers do not enter the world!"

Lu Zheng asked, "Divine powers do not enter the world?"

Lu Zheng was waiting for the ascetic to answer, only to hear the ascetic suddenly "huh", and he actually put away the method of divine practice, and stood in place and looked into the distance.

Lu Zheng didn't know why, turned around and looked ahead, but he didn't see anything, and asked, "Great monk, what's wrong?"

The dervish still looked into the distance and replied casually, "There is someone fighting ahead...... It's strange, although this is the Two Realms Mountain, it has already crossed the fence, how can anyone dare to exert their magical powers here?"
