I stole divine power in Daxia

Chapter 587: The Three Religions Join Forces to Defeat Heluo

In the big tent, Zhuge Dan asked the four people to sit next to him, then smiled and said to the hundreds of masters around him, "Do you know why the Heluo formation is so powerful?"

Hundreds of masters originally came here to kill Jiang Taiyi, so naturally they knew a lot about the Heluo formation.

The old monk from Qinglian Temple covered his eyes with his long white eyebrows and said, "The reason why the Heluo formation is so powerful is that it can destroy and divide."

The Taoist Heavenly Master continued, "The saints of my Taoist sect deduced the Five Innate Elements, which is a process from nothing to something. However, Ren Tu went the other way and destroyed the five processes of birth, growth, prosperity, decline, and destruction. He completely destroyed the basis of the existence of things and returned to nothing. Therefore, the Heluo formation evolved to its extreme, which is called Guixu. Even if the water of the Eight Circles and Nine Fields and the stream of the Milky Way were all poured into it, there would be no increase. Fortunately, he is not a saint yet. He has only deduced to the level of destruction and decline, and has not yet deduced to the level of extinction and extinction. However, even so, even if a Taoist of the first rank is born, he will go from decline to extinction. Although there is still a chance of resurrection, it will be hundreds of years later."

Finally, the Confucian Master of the Confucius Academy said, "If it was just 'destroy', we could win by numbers if we joined forces. But the second change is 'divide'. Even if our two million troops go in at the same time, the nine first-rank warriors will be divided by the formation, and the whole will be broken into pieces. At that time, everyone will face the entire Heluo formation alone. It is really awe-inspiring."

People from the three schools of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism spoke one by one. They were all first-class peerless masters. The words coming out of their mouths were no less than preaching a mysterious technique. If the listeners thought about it a little, they would be able to realize that the Taoist tradition was centered on them and evolved into dragon seals. By observing these dragon seals, they could gain different insights into the Heluo formation.

At the same time, the three parties were also exchanging information with each other. Although everyone in later generations had a clear understanding of the Heluo Formation, at this point in time, everyone's understanding of the Heluo Formation was only part of their own guesses.

Sun Chenglong and the other two listened attentively, especially Sun Chenglong. He inherited Zhou Tieyi's military tradition and was named by Zhuge Dan as the person to break Jiang Taiyi's vanguard. Regardless of whether it was true or not, the peerless masters present were willing to give it a try.

So others could only observe by themselves when listening to the lecture, but when it came to Sun Chenglong, each first-class master would focus his attention on Sun Chenglong when preaching, allowing the dragon seals to gather along with the truth. In the mouths of Buddhists, they turned into white, trumpet-shaped mandalas, falling from the sky, as colorful as rain. In the mouths of Taoists, they turned into green, round lotus flowers, rising from the ground, as gorgeous as clouds.

The flowers and lotus on the ground were like a furnace, constantly igniting dragon seals, which in turn struck Sun Chenglong's body, making every inch of Sun Chenglong's bones emit a faint, empty stone sound.

Many bigwigs listened with their eyes slightly tilted and nodded continuously.

The appearance of unpolished jade.

Although they had never seen this kid before, just by listening to the voice when he was communicating with the Taoist, the big guys could judge that the other teacher was definitely not inferior to themselves.

Thinking of this, the Successor of the Confucius Institute picked up a dragon seal and threw it at Sun Chenglong. The dragon seal was thrown into the void around Sun Chenglong, just like a stone falling into a pool of water, causing ripples, and these ripples spread with the void as the center, trying to find out the source.

And this source is the origin of Sun Chenglong’s Taoist tradition!

This is the Confucian secret technique of [throwing a stone to test the water].

However, when a dragon seal was thrown into the void around Sun Chenglong, the ripples generated continued to spread, but Sun Chenglong himself was like being in a silent deep pool, and the ripples spread out, but there was no trace of the edge at all.

The Successor of the Holy Lord picked up several more dragon seals and threw them one by one. However, when he threw more and more, and reached the ninth seal, he still couldn't figure out the source. He could only turn around and ask, "Does Wu Hou know the master of these friends?"

Zhuge Dan gently waved his feather fan, "It cannot be said, it cannot be said."

A strategist from the Baidi Daoist school of the Chen State said, "Marquis Wu asked us to come here to discuss the plan to eliminate the massacre of the people. How can we gain their trust if we don't even tell them such important information?"

Zhuge Dan was not annoyed by the strategist's rebuke. He just looked at the first-rank masters on both sides and continued to explain with a smile, "Didn't you all know it just now? The cause and effect of the four of them are difficult to deduce, and the three of them are the most difficult. Everyone, what kind of cause and effect can't even we first-rank masters figure out?"

Zhuge Dan pointed out the most critical issue, and everyone's eyes were filled with shock. Even some of the first-rank officials had their hands on the table.

saint!

Only the cause and effect of the saints cannot be deduced by the people present.

The second-rank officials also reacted and said in disbelief, "The saint is still alive? Is it the Taoist Master?"

"It must be that the old man can't sit still any longer!"

"The butcher is indeed a traitor. He slaughtered the people of the world like this. Even the Taoist Master can't stand it!"

Finally, everyone looked at Zhuge Dan, wanting him to give a clear explanation.

Zhuge Dan raised his feather fan, pressed it down, and said, "As long as the saint's affairs are not spoken, then he is both yes and no. On the contrary, if he is spoken, then the saint will fall from his saintly position. He can only be yes or no, so speaking will not work."

The second-rank officials were unable to understand, but the first-rank officials had some vague understanding.

Only Zhuge Dan himself knows all the reasons.

In Zhuge Dan's eyes, Zhou Tieyi was a former divine saint. However, in the era of Daxia, Zhou Tieyi was no longer a divine saint, but he definitely still possessed some characteristics of a saint.

Therefore, in this tributary of the long river of history that is sealed over and over again, Zhou Tieyi himself is an "unknowable" saint.

As long as he does not reveal the origins of Sun Chenglong and the other two, and let the source of their Taoism intersect with this world, then the Taoism of the three people derived from Zhou Tieyi will possess some characteristics of a saint, that is, the overlap of right and wrong, and both life and death.

Just like Zhou Tieyi himself, he is a saint in the past and a saint in the future, but not a saint in the present.

This kind of saintly characteristic of neither increase nor decrease can counteract and even surpass the sub-saintly way of "neither increase nor decrease" of the Heluo formation.

"Amitabha, I see. I understand now."

The abbot of Qinglian Temple smiled and pinched flowers.

“I understand too.” At this time, the new Heavenly Master of Xuandu Mountain had just taken over the throne. He was not the old Heavenly Master yet, and he stroked his long black and white beard.

They really understand why Sun Chenglong is the key to breaking the deadlock.

Mei Juncang asked modestly, "This is about my junior brother, can you seniors explain it to me?"

Zhuge Dan smiled and said, "Just now we said that the Heluo formation has two difficulties. One is 'destruction'. Destruction is the five processes of birth, growth, prosperity, decline, and destruction, which is the so-called basis of existence. However, the Heluo formation can only destroy the first four. When it comes to ordinary people, they will directly skip the four processes of birth, growth, prosperity, and decline. Because these four processes have been destroyed by the formation, only the state of 'destruction' is left, that is, the state of death. Therefore, even the first-grade Taoist 'co-birth' cannot resist it. No matter how many co-births there are, as long as you are in the Heluo formation, you will only have the state of 'destruction'."

"But ordinary people in this world have four stages of birth, growth, prosperity, and decline, but you four, especially you three, do not. Relying on the saintly tradition, you are detached from the mundane world, you have no past and will not die in the future. When the Heluo formation really takes effect on you, we can use secret methods to strengthen your saintly state, thereby interfering with the operation of the entire Heluo formation. If the Heluo formation cannot destroy you three, then there will be a loophole in the principle of the formation, just like a huge building block is missing a piece. If we find this loophole, we can completely destroy the Heluo formation!"

Mei Juncang looked at the smiling Zhuge Dan. He was not like the people from the hundreds of schools present who were unaware of the development of events. He knew the result of the Heluo War, which was that the hundreds of schools joined forces to seal the Renshu Taoist sect!

In other words, the Zhuge Dan in front of him was different from the people around him. He and the other four had come here more than three hundred years ago. His purpose was definitely not to experience the past events again. He must have something he wanted.

However, Mei Juncang knew too little information, so he could not figure out Zhuge Dan's true thoughts. He could only ask tentatively, "Senior, my junior brother is only a seventh-rank disciple. How can he use secret methods to achieve the state of a saint?"

Although Zhuge Dan said it simply, what is the cost?
To allow a seventh-grade saint to attain the state of saint, even if the current cost is borne by the various schools of thought, the cost later will have to be borne by Sun Chenglong himself. If it were that simple and easy, Zhuge Dan would be fully capable of achieving a similar level on his own!

Zhuge Dan smiled and said, "This is simple. Buddhism has the 'Great Aspiration Method'. Your junior brother should first make a great aspiration to quell the massacre and stabilize the world. Then, with the blessing of three first-class monks and the prayers of 500,000 monks, a temporary glazed golden body can be created for your junior brother."

Zhuge Dan said this while looking at the three first-class masters of Buddhism. He himself couldn't do such a thing, and it could only be accomplished at this critical historical juncture.

The three Buddhist monks of the first rank looked at each other. They could certainly afford such a cost, and the cause and effect could be completely sorted out. It was certainly impossible for an ordinary monk of the seventh rank to make such a great vow so easily.

But Sun Chenglong is different now. The Hundred Schools of Inheritance really places their hope of breaking the Heluo Formation on him, and his characteristics also make this possible, and it is a very strong possibility.

To use Zhou Tieyi's words to describe it, at this special point in time, Sun Chenglong's credit in the Will of Heaven and Earth is very high, so high that he can get a short-term loan for the merit of shaping the Glazed Golden Body. The Buddhists are like skilled clerks in the Bank of Heaven and Earth, speeding up the approval process so that the loan for the Glazed Golden Body can be approved as soon as possible.

Of course, in the end, Sun Chenglong would have to pay back the interest and consequences of the loan, almost for eternity.

Because as long as the Rentu Daoist sect causes chaos, Sun Chenglong is bound by his oath and needs to stop it.

Zhuge Dan did not wait for Mei Juncang to interrupt and looked at the Confucianist, "Next, please ask the Successor to use the Confucian method to bless this young friend's glazed golden body with the Red Kingdom destiny."

The Successor thought for a moment and said, "If Wu Hou can help, this matter will be easy."

The first thing Confucianism does is to establish virtue. It is not difficult for Confucianists to bless others with one of the five virtues, especially since Qi is willing to consume the destiny of the Red State. However, in this case, the karma that Sun Chenglong owes is not only the will of heaven and earth, but he also owes Qi another karma.

Zhuge Dan smiled and said, "Once we have the Glazed Golden Body as the foundation and the Red Destiny as the connection, then we can ask the Taoists to use the method of co-birth to connect this young friend with the 300,000 troops of Qi. One is many, many is one. The convergence of the three religions will naturally be able to bless the saint's characteristics. By then, our Qi army will enter the Heluo formation, and even if Jiang Taiyi has supernatural powers, he will not be able to separate this saint's characteristics, and the Heluo formation can be broken!"

After hearing Zhuge Dan's solution, everyone's eyes lit up, and many people even clapped their hands in admiration, "As expected of the unparalleled Wu Hou, no matter how fierce and powerful Jiang Taiyi is, he will be executed today!"

After Zhuge Dan finished speaking, he did not forget to look at Sun Chenglong, "As for your reward, in order for you to be able to 'live' with the Qi soldiers, I am willing to pass on the [Innate Bagua Formation] to you as a reward. Of course, if you are willing, I can also pass on my [Acquired Bagua Technique] as well."

When Zhuge Dan said this, people around him looked at him sideways again. Zhuge Dan, the Marquis of Great Qi, was able to dominate the world because of the [Innate Bagua Formation]. The significance of this formation to Zhuge Dan was no less than that of the Heluo Formation to Jiang Taiyi.

Zhuge Dan was willing to pass on the art. If Sun Chenglong did not have a saintly teacher, everyone would have thought that Zhuge Dan wanted to accept Sun Chenglong as his personal disciple and inherit the Taoist tradition!
For a first-rank official, the most important thing is the inheritance of the Taoist tradition, which is more important than life and death. Therefore, the conditions given by Zhuge Dan can be said to be sincere, and are almost the best things he can offer.

Mei Juncang vaguely grasped the key.

Born together!

Three hundred years later, these Qi soldiers were dead!
Zhuge Dan not only needs to rely on Sun Chenglong to break the Heluo formation, but also needs to use the characteristics of a saint to steal the truth and reverse cause and effect!
He opened his mouth and wanted to refuse on behalf of Sun Chenglong, but with so many first-class masters present, after seeing the specific method to resolve the Heluo formation, how could they tolerate a junior like him running wild!
He opened his mouth, but no words came out.

Zhuge Dan looked at Sun Chenglong kindly, "How about it, Sun Xiaoyou, can you accept this condition?"

Sun Chenglong licked his lips. He knew that the price would be too high. If he was not careful, he would be crushed to pieces. Even the word "crushed to pieces" was not enough to describe it. To use Buddhist words, it would mean that he would have to work like a slave for eternity to repay the karma.

But such a huge price is also a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity in the literal sense. It is an opportunity for the three religions to join forces that may not come once in a thousand years. Only in this situation can one make a breakthrough in one step.

Suddenly, he understood why he came here. Did his saintly teacher expect this?

Sun Chenglong did not look at Mei Juncang, but at his younger junior fellow apprentice Deng Xuehu. Deng Xuehu looked up and nodded slightly to Sun Chenglong.

Sun Chenglong smiled and said to Zhuge Dan, "Prime Minister, I accept the offer."

When the teacher accepted me as his disciple and passed on his skills to me, and evolved hundreds of methods, he taught me a truth.

Karma does not necessarily have to be repaid.

The various schools of thought were still immersed in the old theory of cause and effect, so they had not been able to defeat their teacher three hundred years later!
