Chapter 495 After the Grand Ceremony
"I have already told you about this marvelous sight."

The Dragon Demon Taoist glanced at him:
"The wonders are the result of the laws of heaven and earth. People who are born with wonders must have special physiques..."

Li Yuan lowered his head, digesting the words of the Dragon Demon Taoist.

According to what he meant, at this moment, he was the soul left behind by his own self-destruction in the past, waiting for the person who would be reborn with the miraculous sight he mentioned.

"Reborn as a human..."

Li Yuan found it difficult to understand things that were beyond his knowledge. There was no such thing as reincarnation in this world. How did reincarnation work?

"Master, may I ask how Bafang Temple could be reborn as a human? If it were a human, what characteristics would it have?"

Li Yuan bowed and asked, and he gradually grasped the rules of this old master.

Be polite and have substance in your words. Your questions and answers must be based on what he says.

"Who can know all the mysteries of the world? This person will definitely be born, sooner or later. But you are wrong. It is not the reincarnation of Bafang Temple, but..."

The Dragon Demon Taoist paused for a moment, as if he was organizing his words:

"Or, it could be said that it is a trace of the Bafang Temple, captured by heaven and earth and transformed into a human being..."

"..."

Li Yuan felt confused and couldn't understand some things.

This feeling was just like when he saw the old dragon's true energy transform into a human a long time ago. Without a certain level of attainment or background, it would be impossible to fully understand it.

"This person's characteristics..."

Taoist Dragon Demon thought for a moment and said, "It is a special physique, with extremely high endowment but hidden like a divine object. It is difficult for ordinary people to distinguish it. However, it has a strong destiny and extremely good luck."

'That's too general.'

Li Yuan remembered them all in his mind.

Silence fell in the room.

Li Yuan was digesting and pondering in his heart, while the Dragon Demon Taoist seemed a little absent-minded, and no one knew what he was thinking about.

The two men sat opposite each other in silence. Outside the door, Han Chuijun was fine, but Qin Shixian was a little unsteady on his feet. It would have been ok if he was alone, but it was too embarrassing to stand outside the door with others.

But she was unwilling to leave like this.

While she was struggling, another voice came from inside the house:

"...by chance, you are able to come here, which means you and I are destined to be together..."

Is this the way to spread the Dharma?!
Qin Shixian's expression changed. Outside the door, Han Chuijun concentrated his attention. But soon, the two could no longer hear any sound from inside the house. They could only vaguely see a mysterious light flashing through the crack in the door.

hum~
Inside the room, mysterious lights intertwined and transformed into scriptures hanging in the air. The characters were as small as rice grains, but it did not affect the viewing experience at all. When one saw the shape, the meaning naturally emerged in one's mind.

This is an extremely sophisticated way of passing on the Dharma, and the control and use of true Qi is astonishing.

"The perfect combination of true Qi and spirit. Wherever the mind desires, the Qi will transform it."

Li Yuan took advantage of the situation and changed the helm. With his photographic memory, he quickly memorized all the scriptures transformed from the true energy.

Ten thousand beasts, dragons and demons, sit and forget the Heart Sutra!
This scripture was created by the Taoist Dragon Demon. It can compete with the God Worship Method for the top spot among the ten great magic skills of ancient and modern times. It is an unparalleled magic skill!
Li Yuan just took note of it first, took a quick glance at it, and his heart skipped a beat.

The opening chapter of this Heart Sutra is "Sitting and Forgetting".

It means to forget one's own body, break free from the constraints of the body, and achieve a deep unity of the three.

The opening chapter directly points to the state of three-in-one integration!
"This Heart Sutra was created by me. Since we are destined to be together, I will pass it on to you."

As Li Yuan bowed to express his gratitude, Dragon Demon Taoist slowly stood up and walked towards the wooden door: "Follow me."

Li Yuan got up in a hurry. Before leaving, he turned his head to take a look at the mural. In the mural, there were clouds and winds, and the black dragon was flying in the sea of ​​clouds as if it had life.

……

Outside the wooden door is a long corridor.

Han Chuijun stood with his hands hanging down, and not far behind him, Qin Shixian bowed and saluted.

"Who is this again?"

Li Yuan was startled. He sensed a strong threat from the woman in white, much more powerful than that from Chi Zhuiyang.

Great master!
Is this the owner of Zhaixing Tower?
Li Yuan's mind turned, and he couldn't help but stop. The Dragon Demon Taoist who was walking in front of him frowned:
"Follow."

Li Yuan's heart trembled and he quickened his pace, only glancing at Lao Han out of the corner of his eye.

"Hey, can you move now?"

Outside the wooden door, Han Chuijun noticed Li Yuan's gaze and hesitated for a moment before bowing:

"I am Shura, your subordinate, and I am here to greet the host."

"……Um."

Qin Shixian responded casually and turned around to follow the two of them. She felt a little depressed because her ancestor didn't even look at her.

"Are you going to watch the festival?"

Li Yuan changed his mind and walked along the corridor. His vision suddenly opened up. Streets stretched out in front of him and orderly pavilions and towers came into view.

only……

"here?"

Li Yuan frowned, with a look of suspicion in his eyes.

This was once a majestic city; among the broken tiles and ruins, one could still vaguely see its former splendor, but now, no matter the pavilions or buildings, they are all in ruins.

He looked into the distance and could vaguely see the lingering smoke of gunpowder and traces of dried blood everywhere. The flat road beside the road was overgrown with weeds and white bones were visible.

"Is this the capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty?"

Qin Shixian, who was a few steps slower, also saw the big city. After a quick look around, she recognized the origin of this big city.

"This is the capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty after the great sacrifice."

The Dragon Demon Taoist walked slowly on the long street, his voice echoing in this ruined city, with a unique ancient and desolate flavor.

The Great Zhou Dynasty perished in the Great Sacrifice!

Li Yuan suddenly recalled what Zhou Ying said, but the impact of the words was far less than seeing it with his own eyes.

The Great Zhou dynasty lasted longer than the present one, and it was once extremely prosperous. However, this prosperity was not buried by the change of dynasties, but was covered by a great sacrifice.

On the long street, Han Chuijun looked around quietly. He was not interested in the demise of the Great Zhou. What frightened him was the ruined city itself.

He gently stroked the ruined houses and buildings, and felt that his touch was just like the outside world. Combined with the strong atmosphere of sadness, he even had the illusion that he had traveled through time and arrived more than a thousand years ago.

This is so true.

Li Yuan glanced at the woman in white who was suspected to be the owner of Zhaixing Tower, and quickly followed the Dragon Demon Taoist. They walked along the long streets, and all they saw was desolation and ruin.

Sometimes he could see deep pits on the ground, several miles long, with smoke lingering in the air. There were large numbers of remnants of soldiers with broken armor, and he even saw several corpses.

Wearing armor and holding weapons, he would not fall down even in death, he would raise his head in anger, and be unwilling and terrified.

"Commander of the Great Zhou Guards!"

Qin Shixian followed and saw the corpses. "In the past, the Great Zhou used a powerful army to suppress the world. There were 8,000 people. All of them were replaced. Among them, there were hundreds of masters and six great masters!"

The Imperial Guards of the Great Zhou.

Looking at the corpses, Li Yuan recalled Zhou Ying's words and had to admit that with such a strong army, the Great Zhou Dynasty did have a chance to survive.

Before this grand sacrifice, the Great Zhou still had the power to suppress the world.

In fact, the Great Zhou Dynasty values ​​martial arts, and the preferential treatment given to martial arts masters is much higher than that given to today's Great Zhou. As for ordinary people, it does not affect the rule of the court.

"Grandmaster!"

At a certain moment, Li Yuan paused.

Not far away, there was a deep pit, several miles in radius, with smoke rising from it. A tall and huge man could be seen standing in the pit, dead but not falling.

"Jin Yuanji, the commander-in-chief of the Great Zhou Imperial Guard."

These words came from the Dragon Demon Taoist. The old man stopped in front of the deep pit and said, "When the Cloud Demon descended, he fought to the death and was killed here."

"Cloud Demon?"

Qin Shixian took the opportunity to talk: "Ancestor, could this Cloud Demon be the reason for the fall of the Great Zhou?" "The court used all its national strength to offer sacrifices to the Eight Directions Temple, but something went wrong. Although the Eight Directions Temple appeared briefly, what descended was a strange land... I call it the Cloud Demon Strange Land."

The Dragon Demon Taoist paced forward, and his voice echoed in the ears of several people:

"The origin of the Cloud Demon is unknown. It gathers and disperses in an invisible way and is difficult to be harmed by swords and knives. When it moves, a sea of ​​clouds follows it. In an instant, it can take the lives of tens of thousands of people. It is extremely cruel."

"It descended with a strange force, and all kinds of evil beasts scattered like a tide. In half a day, the imperial capital had become a bloody battlefield..."

The grand ceremony was indeed risky.

Li Yuan subconsciously touched the Mirage Dragon Belt wrapped around his waist. At this point, the magic weapon also broke out of its silence, and the little female dragon was also looking around carefully.

"The Great Sacrifice, the Creepy Land, the Cloud Demon..."

Han Chuijun was completely confused, but he had learned his lesson and did not dare to ask. He just moved closer to Li Yuan and with just a glance, Li Yuan explained through his voice.

"… a ritual using incense as a guide, along with all sorts of natural treasures, the flesh and blood of living creatures, is called a sacrifice…"

"Nonsense, what I'm asking about is the strange land and the cloud demon."

"Uh……"

Li Yuan felt a little speechless. He didn't know how to explain to Lao Han. The existence of that mysterious place was really hard to describe without taking him in for a walk.

"You should regard that strange land as a divine realm, and the cloud demon as an alien, an evil demon..."

"so?"

This is very intuitive. Han Chuijun nodded, and was quite shocked. With the power of one person, he destroyed the Great Zhou Dynasty. Could this Yun Mo be a supreme grandmaster?

"Ancestor..."

Qin Shixian asked faster than Li Yuan, who did not argue for the first place and just listened to her question:

"Where is the Cloud Demon now?"

The Dragon Demon Taoist paused slightly, did not answer, but just looked up and forward.

Woohoo~
There seemed to be gusts of cold wind blowing.

Li Yuan looked in that direction and saw that it seemed to be the place where the Great Zhou royal city was located. There was a giant tower rising from the ground, towering into the clouds. At this moment, the giant tower and the royal city were shrouded in gray-black fog.

"Is this the Bafang Tower?"

Several people present recognized the tower.

"This Cloud Demon is ferocious and bloodthirsty, and has no intelligence to communicate with. I had no choice but to chop it to death. Afterwards, I used the remaining incense, strange land, and the ownerless weapons and treasures in the city..."

As he spoke, the Dragon Demon Taoist pointed at the giant tower:

"This is the origin of the Eight-Directions Tower."

No one...

Li Yuan and Han Chuijun looked at each other, both feeling a little cold.

"According to Zhou Ying, the origin of this grand sacrifice is an old scholar in the Imperial College..."

Looking at the Taoist Dragon Demon who was still holding the ruler in his hand, Li Yuan felt a little scared. He suspected that this person was manipulating all this behind the scenes.

The more he thought about it, the more possible it seemed.

Encourage the Great Zhou Emperor to hold a grand sacrifice. If it succeeds, he can spy on the Eight Directions Temple. If it fails, he can use the strange land to increase the Three Thousand Years of Heritage of the Great Zhou Dynasty and build the Eight Directions Tower.

Too cruel...

Qin Shixian was a little nervous. No wonder the old man always said that he was soft-hearted. It was really because the ancestor was too fierce.

……

……

Night falls, the capital city of God.

"what!"

A roar exploded, echoing for dozens of miles and waking up half of the people in the city.

At the Jingping Division's headquarters, lights suddenly lit up, and dozens or even hundreds of figures jumped out of the headquarters, landed on a high place, and looked around vigilantly.

"I'm so angry!"

In the backyard of Jingping Division, a row of houses were reduced to rubble, and a strong energy rose into the sky like a raging flame, illuminating the night sky.

"Master?!"

"Master..."

A group of masters from the Jingping Division rushed to the backyard. Listening to the roar, they were frightened and didn't know what was going on.

"Great Zhaixing Tower, great...Qin Yun!"

Walking out of the broken house, the Chief of Jingping Division had murderous look in his eyes, his golden python robe fluttering without wind. It was obvious that he was extremely angry, which made all his subordinates terrified.

Even his disciples were shocked. They had never seen their master behave like this.

"Master, what happened?"

A disciple asked in a deep voice.

The Chief of Jingping Division did not answer. Instead, he flicked his sleeves and turned into a ray of red light, rising into the sky. In a flash, he disappeared into the night.

Woo!
The Divine Capital City covers a huge area, and any of its urban areas is no smaller than the capitals of other states. In the blink of an eye, the Lord of the Jingping Division has arrived outside the imperial city.

The imperial city was closed at night and no ordinary ministers were allowed to enter or leave, but the head of the Jingping Division did not need to report and walked quickly. Soon, he arrived in front of a side hall.

"His Majesty!"

The head of the Jingping Division bowed and asked for an audience.

"Zhang Qing came to see me late at night, but what big thing happened?"

In the side hall, Emperor Qian was playing chess with Wu Yingxing. He raised his hand and called him in: "I rarely see you so angry. What's the matter? Is there any other expert in Zhaixing Tower?"

Of course he heard the roar.

"I feel guilty for failing to live up to your majesty's trust."

The head of the Jingping Division lowered his head and recounted the entire process of the trip, except for the fact that he was beaten with a stick.

"Dragon Demon Taoist?"

Emperor Qian held the chess piece in his hand and had no intention of playing chess. Wu Yingxing also frowned.

"That should be the Eight Directions Pagoda Spirit, but I suspect that the pagoda spirit is controlled by someone, otherwise it would never be able to suppress me."

The head of the Jingping Division said decisively: "I suspect this person must be Qin Yun!"

"Brother Zhang, do you think Qin Yun is still alive?"

Wu Yingxing put down the chess piece, picked up the copper coin, and started to calculate secretly.

"My spiritual form may not be as good as Brother Wan's, but after years of nurturing, it is not something that anyone can suppress. Qin Shixian does not have this ability!"

The head of the Jingping Division was very confident.

He absolutely did not believe that Master Qin could suppress him to that extent.

"Qin Yun, the country's greatest thief!"

Emperor Qian's face was as gloomy as water. "The great sacrifice is coming soon. If this beast is really not dead and is spying in the dark... well, please take a seat, Mr. Zhang."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

The head of the Jingping Division bowed and thanked them, then sat down opposite the two of them.

Emperor Qian frowned and considered, and waited until Wu Yingxing opened his eyes before asking, "What do you think, Master Wu?"

"The great sacrifice is imminent, so it is inappropriate to resort to violence."

Wu Yingxing shook his head: "Moreover, I divined a hexagram, and the hexagram did not show Qin Yun."

As he said this, he looked at the Chief of Jingping Division:

"Brother Zhang, do you have any Qi left? How about letting me take a look?"
