Cultivate Taoism and farm to make peace in the world

Chapter 228 Ten years have passed with a flick of a finger, Zhu Jiayan's secret
Time is like an arrow, time is like a shuttle, a white horse flies through the gap, and a horse passes through the window.

It seems that with just a flick of a finger, ten years have passed, and it is February of the Year of Yihai.

Ever since the Heavenly Master Dao was destroyed, the White Lotus Sect retreated, the aristocratic family bowed its head, and the evil cultivators retreated westward, the Shenxiao Sect has become almost invincible in the world.

And Jiang Xuan also spent ten years in this situation quietly.

In the past ten years, except for the first year when he married Lian Shanxue, who used a hundred miles of red makeup, dragon and phoenix to carry the sedan chair, and Zhenjun sang and drank to show off the limelight, Jiang Xuan spent the rest of the time nestling on the bamboo mountain. Look at the changes in the Ming Dynasty.

Why change?
Since the year he got married, Jiang Xuan has refined 20 Wuyao soldiers into Wuyao soldiers.

Then he assigned the 20 Wuyao soldiers to different positions, and let them perform their duties.

Among them, there are [-] heavenly soldiers in the Doubu, who are under the rule of Yaotu, Yaojin and other Wuyao generals, and they are full-time cultivation, eliminating demons, demons, ghosts, and patrolling the world.

All the [-] Doubu Heavenly Soldiers practiced "Clone Body", "Slaying Demons", "Shenxing" and other supernatural powers, and also practiced their own military formations. In terms of combat power, they are stronger than ordinary monks.

After setting up the formation, he was even able to defeat the monks of the six realms.

In addition to the Doubu Heavenly Soldiers who are in charge of fighting, there are also Danbu Heavenly Soldiers who are in charge of alchemy;
Heavenly Soldiers of the Qi Department who are in charge of refining weapons;
The Suibu Celestial Soldiers who control the power of the stars;
The heavenly soldiers who are responsible for deploying the formation and moving the earth's veins;

The Heavenly Soldiers of the Thunder Department, who are in charge of carrying clouds and rain, and judging the good and evil of monks;

Although the six celestial soldiers are quite different from the legendary celestial ministries in the past and present, they are the most suitable division of duties for the current situation of the Ming Dynasty.

If he feels that something is missing in the future, or if a department has too much power, Jiang Xuan can make adjustments again.

He is not the heavenly emperor who is controlled by "people" in those myths and legends. He can adjust the whole six parts as he wants.

Among the six parts, in terms of combat power, the fighting part is the strongest,
But if it is said that the ones who made the most noise were undoubtedly the heavenly soldiers.

There are [-] heavenly soldiers in the formation, all of whom practice the five arts of "cloning", "chasing the soul", "taking the soul", "arranging the formation", and "walking in the earth".

On weekdays, they control tens of thousands of ghosts to repair bridges and roads, move land veins and water veins, and dig various ores when changing land veins.

It can be said that they let all the people in Shenzhou see the methods of the monks, and they also aroused countless people's hearts to the Tao.

In the first year of marriage, apart from dividing the six heavenly soldiers and letting the heavenly soldiers lead Wusuan ghosts into the Shenzhou to set up the formation, there are other changes in the world.

For example, all kinds of things researched by the Mohists and those scientists in Qianjin City came out of Sixi County one after another and flowed to all parts of China.

Relying on fuel-driven, manual driving is required, a four-wheeled vehicle that is no different from the technological age;

Driven by the air of the earth, it does not need to be driven by a human, and it can fly ten meters above the ground on various government roads, county roads, town roads, and village roads;
Mobile communication equipment that is all made of electronic components and can be manufactured in industrialized batches;

Combining various techniques such as mysterious light technique, sound transmission technique, and picture taking technique, it is produced as a special 'mobile phone' for monks;
There are also all kinds of exercises flowing out of Jiang Xuan's hands; the formations that are constantly expanding; the extremely neat residential areas built by the heavenly soldiers of the formation; the mushroom bombs that detonated in the uninhabited desert; Gu; an ID card for everyone.
The changes, etc., all tell the story that under the helm of Jiang Xuan, this world is striding forward, moving towards the world he thinks in his heart.

On February [-], the dragon looked up.

On this day more than ten years ago, Jiang Xuan let Jiaolong walk across the Qingshui River.

Many so-called proud sons of heaven came from outside the county one after another, just to witness the rare changes in the world.

On this day more than ten years later, someone also came from the capital.

It's just that no matter how well that person hid himself, Jiang Xuan still noticed him from the moment he stepped into the formation.

There is no other, just because the technique used by that person is too miraculous.

"Have friends come from afar."

"Fellow Taoist came all the way from Bai Yujing, why don't you have a drink first?"

After Jiang Xuan's words fell, Lian Shanxue, who was already a married woman, was taken aback for a moment, got up and carried Roll into the bamboo house.

As for other spirit beasts?

Except for Dafeng still staying on the plane tree looking up at the sky, Huo Dou breathing out flames under the plane tree, and the fat fox lying on Jiang Xuan's shoulder all day, the other spirit beasts have already gone down the mountain.

Jin Jiao became the Dragon Lord of Xuanhe as he wished, although he only occupied a small section of the Xuanhe River.

Xie Zhi and Bi An like to go in and out of prisons, doing things that distinguish right from wrong and make decisions impartially.

The little black bear, on the other hand, put on a Taoist robe, opened a dojo, and chanted the "Tao Te Ching" in front of people all day long.

The little cowardly deer with nine colors became a slag deer, staying in Jiuyuan for three days to play with Fengdu, three days in Luyuantian to play with Cangwu Mountain God, and the remaining day to rest at the top of Zhushan Mountain.

All in all, the lazy iron-eating beast Gun Gun has become Lian Shanxue's favorite.

Let's not talk about nothing.

When Lian Shanxue entered the bamboo house, a figure in a red dragon robe appeared in front of Jiang Xuan, a little stiff in his actions.

Of course, this stiffness is for Jiang Xuan.

In the eyes of ordinary monks, he is no different from normal people.

Seeing the way the visitor appeared, Jiang Xuan narrowed his eyes indiscriminately.

"Standing at attention without shadow?"

As soon as the thought came up in his mind, Jiang Xuan saw someone wave his hand, and then there were ten meter-high golden trees on the bamboo mountain.

"Zhu Kaizhong from the Zhu family in Yujing, I've heard of Daoist Jiang's name for a long time."

"We met for the first time now, these ten candles illuminating the ancient trees are a gift from the Zhu family to Daoist Jiang."

Hearing Zhu Kaizhong's self-proclaimed, Jiang Xuan glanced at the ancient candlelight trees neatly placed beside him, and Jiang Xuan's thoughts changed for a moment:
"What does the Zhu family mean?"

Hearing this, Zhu Kaizhong showed a wry smile:
"The Taoist priest should know why I came here."

Jiang Xuan picked up the tea in front of him and took a sip:
"What if the poor say that the poor don't know?"

Seeing Jiang Xuan's appearance, Zhu Kaizhong smiled wryly again:
"The Daoist master is resourceful, so how could he not know what he wants?"

Speaking of which, seeing that Jiang Xuan still looked like I don't know, Zhu Kaizhong shook his head helplessly, and then said:

"I also ask the Taoist priest to let my younger brother accept the decree, and stop preaching that this world belongs to my Zhu family."

"Even if Brother Ling wants to, you can send troops to Bai Yujing. The Zhu family will hand over the throne of Shenzhou."

Although he had already guessed in his heart, Jiang Xuan was still confused when he heard this from Zhu Kaizhong.

So he did not pretend to understand, but asked directly:

"Why is the Zhu family like this?"

"If Pindao guessed right, celestial masters hunt innately and only cultivate gods and demons, and let the millions of gods fall half into the netherworld. Before my Shenxiao sect was going to go to the Dao country, the Buddhist sect was going to go to the Buddha country, and the evil cultivators were going to turn the world into a world." ghost world."

"Wait for the calculation, your Zhu family should know about it, right?"

"I would like to ask, since your Zhu family sits on the throne of Shenzhou, why do you allow ghosts to haunt the world, and why do you ignore the fire and water of the people?"

After Jiang Xuan's words fell, Zhu Kaizhong of Shenzhou did not change his expression, he just asked, "The Taoist priest really wants to know?"

Looking at Zhu Kaizhong with a serious face, Jiang Xuan nodded without hesitation, "Pin Dao naturally wants to know."

There is no doubt that the Zhu family must be hiding a big secret, and this secret may be related to the whole world.

Knowing this secret is equivalent to taking responsibility.

And this responsibility may overwhelm people.

But what Jiang Xuan thought was that he was considered a tall man in China now.

Even standing in the formation, he was the tallest one.

So this responsibility, he did his part.

What's more, it's better to know earlier than to be caught off guard in the future, right?

Seeing Jiang Xuan nodding without hesitation, Zhu Kaizhong smiled, and then pinched a formula with both hands.

A moment later, a shield emitting a little bit of starlight covered the two of them.

Seeing Jiang Xuan's strange expression, Zhu Kaizhong explained:

"The third technique of Tiangang: "Shifting Stars and Changing Fights", can cover up and tamper with the secrets of heaven."

"Heaven's secret is the will of heaven, so this technique is also a great technique of killing life."

"I don't have enough comprehension. This technique of "Moving Stars and Changing Fights" has only been learned superficially. It can only change the secrets of a small area. It makes the Taoist laugh."

After the voice fell, seeing that Jiang Xuan didn't answer, Zhu Kaizhong sighed and then spoke again:
"The Taoist priest should know that Taoism started 300 years ago, and he should have guessed that the emperor's ancestor got his chance from Meishan. Then we know what is there in the Meishan cave?"

Jiang Xuan still didn't speak, but he could see the curiosity in his eyes.

Seeing this, Zhu Kaizhong didn't hold back, and directly said what was in it:

"There are only two things in the coal mountain."

"One is the Heavenly Demon, and the other is the passage outside the realm."

After getting this answer, Jiang Xuan couldn't help but clenched his fists.

There is an out-of-bounds passage, within his guess.

Because of the relationship of the world, he will have an indescribable disgust towards Heaven Thief Gu.

And there is also an aura that disgusts him in Yujing City, and this aura of disgust is hundreds of times stronger than Heaven Thief Gu.

So after learning that Heaven Thief Gu is an extraterrestrial Gu, he guessed that there is something extraterrestrial in Yujing City, and it is likely to be a passage to another world.

What Zhu Kaizhong said was just to confirm his guess.

He even once guessed that Emperor Chongzhen was a time traveler like himself, or that he went to the outside world to learn knowledge outside the world, so that he would set up a school after he came back, teach martial arts, and spread the word to the world.

Now what surprised him so much was actually what Zhu Kaizhong said about the Heavenly Demon.

Those who are demons are mostly the ones who cause chaos and cause heinous slaughter.

The Heavenly Demons, even more so, coexist with the Dao, immortal and indestructible, and difficult to kill.

Zhu Kaizhong said that there is a demon in the sky in Meishan Cave, why didn't Jiang Xuan be surprised?

"Since there is a celestial demon, why doesn't that celestial demon rush out of the cave to wreak havoc on the world?"

Just as Jiang Xuan thought about it here, Zhu Kaizhong on the other side seemed to be aware of Jiang Xuan's thoughts, and then he said:

"That day's demon is connected with my Zhu family's luck."

"The emperor left his ancestral training, and once made a contract of law with the demon."

"Heavenly Demon passed on to the emperor's ancestors the way of cultivating Taoism and practicing martial arts, helping him regain the great unification of Shenzhou."

"But after winning the Great Order, the Heavenly Demon can devour my Zhu family's luck to strengthen myself."

"The emperor agreed, but he was also afraid of the dark hands of the demon, so he made a contract of law with the demon."

"No matter how strong the Heavenly Demon is, as long as the people of Shenzhou don't take action against him, he is not allowed to take action against the people of Shenzhou.

"Even if someone seeks death by himself, he can only blame the culprit."

"From then on, the stronger the luck of the Zhu family, the more stable the dynasty, the stronger the Heavenly Demon."

Hearing this, Jiang Xuan couldn't help feeling a little curious:

"Since that's the case, shouldn't the Ming Dynasty be as strong as possible?"

"With the help of the immortal heavenly demon, we can even have a glimpse of the world outside that day."

Hearing Jiang Xuan's question, Zhu Kaizhong couldn't help showing a wry smile:

"If Heavenly Demon is really on our side, that would be fine."

Upon receiving this answer, Jiang Xuan suddenly shrank his pupils:
"The Heavenly Demon is the Heavenly Demon from outside the realm?"

"Emperor Chongzhen is still tricked by the devil?"

Zhu Kaizhong shook his head:
"The Heavenly Demon is not a Heavenly Demon from outside the world, it was even transformed by a certain Renhuang from ancient times."

"We haven't figured out the exact footsteps, but it's definitely not wrong."

"As for me saying this, it is because since he has become a demon, he cannot be called a human being."

"Before the Human Sovereign turned into a Heavenly Demon, he might have had the idea of ​​dedicating himself to the human race in our world."

"But after turning into a demon, I will only think about myself."

Speaking of this, Zhu Kaizhong carefully explained the demon again:

"The Daoist should also know that the Heavenly Demon coexists with the Dao, and is an immortal existence."

"But Dao is different from Dao, and there is also a difference between Heavenly Demon and Heavenly Demon."

"The demon in the coal mountain is very strange."

"That day's demon was born from the ground and turned the entire cave into his own demon domain, but because part of his body has merged into the outside world, it can also be regarded as two parts."

"Part of the other world, part of the world."

"Although the two worlds are one body, they are also divided into two parts, with different strengths."

Hearing this, Jiang Xuan immediately understood:
"Just like ordinary people who work a lot with their right hand, will it be stronger than their left hand?"

Zhu Kaizhong nodded, "That's it."

After answering, he spoke again:

"And let the Taoist priest know that the ability of that day's demon is suppression."

"After letting all existences with higher strength and realm than him enter the Demon Realm, they will be suppressed into existences weaker than him."

"This ability cannot be circumvented by any means. This is also the strangeness of the Heavenly Demon."

Hearing the ability of Heavenly Demon, Jiang Xuan frowned immediately:
"If his ability is this, doesn't it mean that this ability is invalid for ordinary people?"

"His strength will never be weaker than ordinary people, right?"

"Don't people from outside the realm know that they can enter our world through this cave, and don't they send ordinary people to occupy Meishan cave first?"

"How did your ancestor survive after entering Coal Mountain?"

"Have you ever explored the land outside the boundary, what does it look like outside the boundary?"

Hearing Jiang Xuan ask a series of questions, Zhu Kaizhong thought about his language and said:
"This day, the demon and the royal family made a contract of law and will not attack the people of Shenzhou, but it does not mean that he will not attack ordinary creatures and people outside the world."

"As far as we know, this Heavenly Demon may go mad at any time, and when he goes mad, all flesh and blood creatures are within his devouring targets."

"In this case, the people from the other world will only send people to check every other year, and will not stay in the Demon Realm permanently."

"Of course, that was in the past."

"Since they knew that the Coal Mountain Cave has been opened, the Coal Mountain Cave has become a meat grinder, and people die in battle all the time."

"As for the outside world, we have also sent people to explore several times, but they often never return, without exception."

After getting this answer, the doubts in Jiang Xuan's heart were even worse:
"Can devouring flesh and blood increase the strength of that demon?"

"If it is possible, why didn't the person from the other world feed him blood food to increase the power of the demon?"

"If not, why would the demon devour flesh and blood?"

"Also, since the Heavenly Demon is no longer a human being, since he can sign a contract of law with Emperor Chongzhen, didn't he sign a contract of law with someone from another world?"

"If it is signed, why are people from other worlds still being swallowed?"
