Chapter 168 Thank you for the eighteen generations of your ancestors(1/2)
Zhenxie Tower is located at the junction of Yunzhou and Haizhou.
It is surrounded by majestic green mountains on three sides and the rushing Red River on one side. According to the Taoist Feng Shui view, it is a uniquely blessed land that gathers wind and stores energy.
The reason why the Four Avenues Sect chose to locate here was to attract the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and resolve the evil spirits in the Evil Suppression Tower.
For this reason, the previous king was quite unhappy because a site for his mausoleum was wasted.
But considering that after the death of the previous dynasty, his body was thrown into the wilderness, there is really no need to think about the grave and other posthumous matters.
On this sunny morning, delegations from the Four Avenues Sect gathered here.
Looking at this dilapidated ancient pagoda that has gone through hundreds of years of wind and frost, Master Chixia and others looked pious and paid their respects with the highest Taoist etiquette.
This is not to pay tribute to the evil things in the Evil Suppression Tower, but to commemorate the comrades who sacrificed their lives to subdue the evil spirits.
"Senior Brother Chixia, it has been more than twenty years since the last time it was opened." Taoist Priest Qinghe of Chaotian Palace sighed.
Chixia nodded: "Yes, after the founding of the Dajing Dynasty, the world was generally peaceful, and there were very few evil spirits. Most of them could be destroyed directly, and there was no need to throw them into the evil-suppressing tower."
After the Evil Suppression Tower was built, the period from the end of the former dynasty to the era of separatist rule was recognized as the most chaotic period and the period when evil spirits appeared the most. Naturally, the business of the Evil Suppression Tower was the busiest.
The last time I opened the Evil Suppression Tower, there was one person and one thing... No, it was a corpse and an object. 81 Chinese website
The corpse of Zhu Chengzhen, the former headmaster of the Tianshi Sect, and the sun-shooting bow from the giant tower.
Speaking of this, the two of them looked at the Tianshi Sect delegation not far away.
Unlike the two sects, the Taoist priests of Tianshi Sect always look at the Evil Suppressing Tower in a strange way.
After all, after their former headmaster died, his bones were discarded in the tower.
This is the greatest shame of the Celestial Master Sect.
However, it was Zhu Chengzhenren's disciples who caused this shame.
Because they were once the state religion of the East China Sea Kingdom, they were afraid that Emperor Tianyuan would continue to liquidate the Tianshi Sect, so they took the initiative to advise Emperor Tianyuan that in order to prevent Zhu Chengzhenren's bones from turning into zombies and the undead into ghosts, it would be safer to throw them into the Evil Suppression Tower.
.
This is the proper form of filial piety between master and disciple.
At this moment, He Huzhen, the leader of the Tianshi Sect and the core figure who proposed this suggestion, was obviously uneasy.
"His Royal Highness the King of the Sea has arrived."
A loud shout came from the mouth of the valley.
After a while, a large team arrived.
In addition to the tough guards, there are also members of the Shangqing sect headed by Taoist Qingwei.
Surrounded by them, a bright yellow chariot slowly drove to the open space in front of the Evil Tower.
Under the salutes of Master Chixia and others, Neptune slowly walked out of the chariot.
"Everyone is here?" Neptune put his hands behind his back and looked around.
"Reporting to Your Highness, the leaders of the Four Great Dao Sects have all arrived and are at your disposal." Taoist Qingwei was busy showing his courtesy.
Neptune waved his hand, "I have to trouble the help of all the Taoist priests to throw those evil weapons into the Evil Suppressing Tower to seal them, and restore the world to a peaceful world."
After a pause, Haiwang Zhuangruo said casually: "By the way, I heard before that the eldest son of Marquis Weiyuan, Yu Xianyu, climbed to the fifth floor of the tower on the island in the middle of the lake in the Academy. Logically speaking, it has become his destiny.
"My son, and there are rumors that he is determined to go to the Evil Suppressing Tower to take away the giant sun-shooting bow. Why didn't he show up today?"... "I heard that he is still staying in Yunzhou Mansion, assisting his second uncle, the prefect Yu
Zefeng defends the city." Taoist priest Qinghe replied.
"Yunzhou is very uneasy. I heard that the rebellious gangs from the Changsheng Sect have been harassing Yunzhou City in the past few days, and the fighting has been very fierce." Haiwang said quietly.
Hearing this, Chixia, Zhengyang, Qinghe and others all looked solemn.
Three days ago, the first group of Changsheng Sect rebels began to attack Yunzhou City.
Before the officers and soldiers could repel them, the second group appeared again.
At that time, Guantong and other guards officers and soldiers were quelling the chaos everywhere, and there was no time to return reinforcements. Yunzhou City could only hold on to the city under the organization of the prefect Yu Zefeng.
In fact, the size of the rebels is not large, with each group of rebels only consisting of a few hundred people.
But too many ants can shake a boulder.
Every time hundreds of people came to harass them, and just as they were about to fight back, hundreds more people came behind them, making Yunzhou City now besieged from both sides and in a state of disarray.
What's even more troublesome is that groups of rebels have gathered around Yunzhou City. Once they gather together, the combined rebels will be quite terrifying!
"After these evil weapons are sealed into the Evil Suppression Tower, all the Taoist priests can follow me to Yunzhou to quell the rebellion and kill the enemy." Poseidon suggested.
Taoist priest Qinghe received a salary from the imperial court, and Taoist priest Qingwei was also a supporter of Haiwang, so naturally they had no objections.
However, Wuji Mountain has never been involved in worldly matters, but Chixia Master is silent.
"Taoist Priest Chixia, I know that Daozi has made a rule not to interfere with the movement of heaven easily. Your practice at Wuji Mountain emphasizes the natural way of doing things, which is reasonable and reasonable." Neptune said in a deep voice: "But the time is at a time when there are internal and external troubles.
As disasters continue, should you, Wuji Mountain, do your part to prevent lives from being ruined?"
"What His Highness said is absolutely true. Wuji Mountain is responsible for maintaining the stability of the people in the world. Now that Yunzhou is deeply immersed in the heat of water, Pindao and Wuji Mountain naturally have a duty to do so." Master Chixia intervened: "Let's wait for this matter.
Now that it's over, I'll ask Daozi for instructions again. As long as Daozi allows me, I won't hesitate at all."
"You're still playing tricks on me." Sea King sneered: "A while ago, He Taibai, the swordsman of Taihua Mountain, teamed up with the Eastern Song Dynasty and Huangren to invade our Dajing border. It is said that He Taibai saw the instructions of heaven and said that our Dajing
She Ji is in danger, and he is just following the way of heaven. Now I want you Wuji Mountain to take action against the Changsheng Sect, but you are pushing back and resisting. Could it be that you are like He Taibai, who is not optimistic about my great future She Ji?"
"Your Highness has misunderstood, Pindao never meant this!" Chixia quickly defended.
Qinghe saw this and sighed secretly.
On the surface, it seems that Chixia is unwilling to serve the court and quell the war.
But in fact, Chixia knows that once Wuji Mountain takes action, the trouble it will cause may be more serious than the rebellion!
First of all, this means that Wuji Mountain was absorbed by the imperial court and gave up its autonomy.
Secondly, even if they want to quell the rebellion, they should follow the Emperor's instructions and follow the Sea King to quell the rebellion. This is equivalent to announcing to the world that Wuji Mountain is the supporter of the Sea King.
Next, Neptune is going to seize the legitimate son.
Don't think that Neptune has the safety of the country at heart. His purpose is to hold all the Four Dao Sects in his hands and obey his orders, so as to declare to the emperor and the world how powerful his wings are... This kind of royal struggle mediation,
Wuji Mountain must not be involved!
"Your Highness, let's get down to business first," Taoist Priest Qinghe said to smooth things over.
"That's good."
Neptune turned to look at the Evil Suppression Tower, with a relaxed expression, and said calmly: "I opened the Evil Suppression Tower this time. The next time I want to open it, it will be a year later."
Taoist Qingwei nodded: "It will take at least a year."
Hearing this, Poseidon couldn't help but feel like he was taking a breath of spring breeze.
The reason why he is so active in opening the Evil Suppression Tower to seal the evil weapon is that he is worried that someone will go to the Evil Suppression Tower recently to take away the Juque Sun Shooting Bow and use this divine bow to reverse the fate of the prince.
It is difficult to block.
So he and Qingwei Taoist people discussed this curve to save the country.
Instead of waiting for others to open the Evil Suppression Tower, it is better to take advantage of this year's opportunity first.
The next time the Evil Suppression Tower is opened, it will be at least a year later, and by then, the prince will have already died.
Originally, Neptune was worried that Yu Xian would come and take away the giant sun-shooting bow, but now that Yu Xian was dragged to Yunzhou Mansion, he was already half-hearted.
The remaining half is tied to the body of Chixia Zhenren.
Chixia Zhenren also climbed to the fifth floor of the tower, so he is also qualified to use the giant tower to shoot the sun bow.
But Taoist Qingwei's analysis seemed to give Neptune a reassurance.
"It is absolutely impossible for Chixia Zhenren to take the giant tower and shoot the sun bow."
"Pindao has seen through Chixia. His greatest ambition is to imitate Daozi as the Holy Saint, so he cherishes his life and is even afraid of death. How could he bear the risk of being backfired by the giant sun bow in order to save the prince. "
"This time, we might as well leave the task of entering the tower to seal the evil weapon to him. If he finally dares not to take the giant tower to shoot the sun bow, then he must have broken his Taoist heart and will never be able to become a saint again. Even if he risked his life to take the giant When the Queshe Sunbow comes out, His Highness can also order him to hand it over and keep it in His Highness's hands first. In this way, the prince's life is tied to His Highness's hands."
Neptune felt that Taoist Qingwei's words made sense, so he approved the action plan and handed over the most dangerous task to Chixia.
Afterwards, the leaders of the Four Dao Sects performed a dojo ceremony, and then each took out a stone slab with patterns engraved on it.
In order: Blue Dragon, White Tiger, Suzaku Xuanwu.
Chixia and the others each held a piece in their hands and came to the four walls on the first floor of the Evil Suppression Tower.
There is a blank stone slab on all four walls.
At this moment, everything is in the hands of Chixia and the other four.
The four people stuffed different stone slabs into the empty spaces, then recited mantras and made palm seals, instilling the power of their thoughts into the stone slabs in front of them.
After a while, the slate lit up.
The four great beasts shine brightly.
The next moment, the Evil Suppression Tower made a buzzing sound, and the ground shook slightly.
