Qingchen moved the world from the East China Sea, and went directly to Ci'an City through the hordes of beasts and corpses everywhere.
At this time, the altar of Lutian in the sky has descended, and the soft white light is like the last star in the dark night. Qingchen stared at this piece of holy and flawless brilliance, thinking quite complicated in his heart.
Compared with the demonic way and the demon way, the human way was born in a shorter period of time, and its rise was astonishingly fast and false.
The human race relied on witchcraft at the beginning, and they enjoyed the prosperity brought about by the sacrifice of human nature and emotion by a very small number of great witches with peace of mind, but they never thought that all these would be taken back by heaven in the blink of an eye. After the disappearance of witchcraft, the human race entered a long period of downturn. Their belief in witches began to change into belief in gods and demons, and countless tribes became vassals of gods and demons.
The human race always needs to worship something to strengthen their belief in being alive, and this has not changed until now. The only difference is that they worshiped witchcraft when witchcraft arose, and worshiped gods and demons when gods and demons prospered, and when these beliefs disappeared, they began to worship themselves.
So in the last 100,000 years, there has been a real "humanity", an orthodoxy that exists purely for the rise of the human race. It has risen so fast that those ancient orthodoxy find it difficult to accept, so it often becomes the target of public criticism in orthodoxy disputes. At the same time, the human race is more complicated than ordinary practitioners, and their attention is easily taken away by more glamorous things, such as money, power, wealth and sex, which makes it difficult for Dao to gain a firm foothold in the mortal world.
All practitioners of immortality can see the unity of heaven and man, and the natural law of Taoism, and all practitioners of Buddhism and Taoism can see benevolence and compassion, without desires and demands. However, only a small number of people can practice "great benevolence and holiness" in the human way, and even the characteristics of "recording gangsters, latitude and longitude, and ruling the world" can only be seen in saints. However, due to the large number and wide distribution of humane practitioners, this fatal flaw is covered up by the appearance of prosperity.
During the war, the Lutian Temple opened up all inheritances, almost reaching the point where all the people can cultivate, but this cannot save the decline of humanity.
The only race-based orthodoxy in the world is the way of humanity and the way of demons. The monster race is a powerful creature that has existed since ancient times. They are stronger than the weak human race, not to mention the cruel survival of the fittest in the 100,000 mountains and blood inheritance. There should be a threshold for cultivating the Tao, and the orthodoxy that does not select for it, if you think about it carefully, it is just a human way.
So other orthodox sages say that the human way is weak, so Jingli will say that the human way is weak.
Qingchen walked through the mist and stepped into his small courtyard in the northwest corner. His body was stained with a little moisture, and a tired look appeared on his face. A candle was lit in the room, but it couldn't illuminate the haze in his heart. Now the altar of Lutian has been lowered safely, and it is no longer heavily guarded a few days ago. Presumably, the saint resolved the crisis brought about by the demons and ghosts. This means that he still has to restrain his edge, and hang out with the old-looking dossiers of Jingtian Palace and Yantian Palace all day long.
It's not time yet, he has to wait.
He has waited too long since the Earth Fire Sect was exterminated, and he doesn't care about waiting for so many years.
Qingchen closed his eyes, and then opened them again. There was no confusion and distress in his eyes. He sat down in front of the desk and continued to sort out those endless books.
At this time, the altar of Lutian was not as peaceful as Qingchen imagined. Taiqing, who had just killed the ghost saint, was still confronting Gongsun Yanhua.
Jingli stood up amidst their silent fighting, straightened the stone mirror next to him, and lit three sticks of incense again and placed them in the incense burner. He was sitting in front of the desk pouring tea and watching, his expression was not the slightest bit nervous.
After a while, Gongsun Yanhua seemed to be exhausted, she stopped her hand, covered her mouth and coughed lightly.
Taiqing took a distracted look at Shi Jing, then sneered at Gongsun Yanhua: "Pretend to be real, why didn't you cough when you crushed Mang Yi's soul with your ancient real body?"
Gongsun Yanhua just smiled softly and did not refute, she said to Jingli: "Please let my mount come in, fellow Taoist, it is really uncomfortable to stand like this."
These words were obviously against Taiqing, but Jingli didn't say much, after a while, he saw the white bull waving its wings and landed beside Gongsun Yanhua. It lay prone at the feet of Gongsun Yanhua, and slowly got up after she sat firmly on its back. Gongsun Yanhua coughed again: "Ahem... I made friends laugh."
Jingli bowed his head without answering, Taiqing's wide sleeves fluttered: "How long are you going to stay here?"
Gongsun Yanhua asked back, "How long is Taiqing going to stay here?"
"After you leave, I will return to the Tongtian Shenmai." Taiqing made no secret of his purpose, he stayed here just to prevent Gongsun Yanhua from attacking humanity.
Gongsun Yanhua knew from the very beginning that he could not leave humanity alone. If she attacked and killed Jingli alone, she would most likely face the immortals and saints directly. So she pulled Mang Yi on, and although Mang Yi knew that Taiqing and Jingli were in a master-student relationship, he never thought that Taishangdao would care about this. And even if Taiqing really came, it would not be impossible for him and Gongsun Yanhua to play against Taiqing and Jingli.
It's just that Mang Yi didn't know that Gongsun Yanhua's goal in the first place was not Jingli, but him who was seduced by the fruit of humanity.
As soon as Taiqing saw Gongsun Yanhua attacking Shi Jing, he knew what she meant. If he wanted to forcefully kill Jingli, then Gongsun Yanhua didn't have to take the initiative to provoke him, and he could just fight with Mang Yi. Later Mang Yi saw that the situation was not going well and wanted to retreat, the two of them almost at the same time trapped him in the turbulent void, and then Gongsun Yanhua trapped him with his body, and Taiqing killed him with the righteous law of heaven and earth.
Although the final result was the fall of the ghost way, but it is definitely impossible to say that Gongsun Yanhua has no interest in the human way.
Taiqing is here to let her go.
Gongsun Yanhua saw that Taiqing spoke bluntly, and her face was still soft and gentle, she said: "Taiqing took the initiative to attack this time, it can be said that he is no longer standing in the mirror of inaction and innocence, if he has the strength to control humanity, why not?" Think more about the aftermath of immortality."
As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere on the altar of Lutian became stagnant for a while, Taiqing looked indifferent, and said: "Don't worry about it, when I killed the last saint of humanity, you were still asleep on Shiwandashan .”
For a sage who is too high, doing nothing means no harm, as long as he doesn't do anything, he will never be defeated.
But Taiqing seldom took advantage of the Supreme Realm to secure a winning seat. The saints he fought in his life were far more than Gongsun Yanhua and Mang Yi. Leaving aside, his act of directly forcibly killing the previous generation of saints of humanity thousands of years ago is enough to deter the world's orthodoxy. In the realm of saints, it is not easy to estimate how strong they are, but Taiqing's huge threat makes all saints have to avoid it.
Gongsun Yanhua was still coughing uncontrollably, she was almost half lying on the back of the white bull, she couldn't even stand up straight. Every time she answered too clearly, she had to slow down for a while, as if she was going to die after saying a few more sentences.
She said: "According to what Taiqing said, when I travel between the heaven and the earth, you are still a cloud of turbid air, invisible and spiritless."
Gongsun Yanhua looked weak and deceitful, but in fact, he spoke with a strong aura, and the innate contempt of the ancient monster race was even stronger than the latter. Before Gongsun Yanhua fell asleep, even the gods and demons had not completely disappeared. When she slept in the Hundred Thousand Mountains, the world's orthodoxy changed from generation to generation. Few of the current saints have seen her make a move.
Before Taiqing said anything, she had already taken the lead again: "Okay, this time, the demon clan will retreat to the Hundred Thousand Mountains for the time being, and Daoist Taiqing don't have to worry too much. It's just that you need to know that you can protect them for a while, but you can't protect them for a lifetime. After Dao, there will be demonic ways and divine ways, so it is better to end the cause and effect as soon as possible."
"Don't bother you." Taiqing replied calmly.
The white bull fluttered its wings, and a bright light flashed across the black sky. The monsters followed the light and retreated towards Shiwan Dashan like a tide.
Only Taiqing and Jingli were left on the altar. Taiqing watched Gongsun Yanhua disappear into the sky, turned around and walked towards the mirror. From the beginning to the end, he didn't say a word to Jingli, and he didn't even look at him.
Before he stepped into the mirror, Jingli suddenly said: "Taiqing... Fellow Daoist."
It is true that the sage is equal to his peers, but Jingli's face is not very good-looking when he utters these words too clearly.
"What is it?"
Mirror from silence.
Taiqing turned around and slapped the table in front of him with one hand, the tea splashed: "This is the last time, I will take back the magical mirror, you'd better not touch the witchcraft again."
"Taiqing said this a hundred years ago." Jingli replied calmly, "And you also left behind a hundred years ago the magic mirror."
Taiqing laughed back angrily, he said: "You can figure it out clearly!"
"Taiqing's kindness, I dare not forget it." Jing Li lowered his eyes, and his white hair slipped down to cover his expression.
Taiqing said indifferently: "I won't talk about the kindness, you don't burn incense to Tongtian Shenmai in the future. And what I just said about witchcraft, did you hear it?"
"As fellow Taoists said, there are countless orthodoxy in the world, and it is my own business to choose which way to follow."
What an elm head.
Jing Li has never backed down on this matter, he was like this before he left Shenyin Sect, and it hasn't changed a bit when he came to Humanity. Before Taiqing, it was obvious that he was perfunctory and evasive towards Gongsun Yanhua, but Jingli said this very seriously, pouring his life's enthusiasm into every word and every sentence - just like when he was young, he sought Taoism at Shenyinmen.
It is not unreasonable for Jingli to attain Taoism for a hundred years. After Taiqing, he has never seen any disciple with such a fanatical heart for seeking Taoism.
"It's up to you." Taiqing was silent for a while, but in the end he was speechless and could only drop this sentence lightly. If he could really change his Dao heart by discussing Dao for three days, then Taiqing wouldn't have to spend a lot of time killing saints to seize Dao fruit and drive him to the human realm.
He didn't want to have too much involvement with humanity, and now that the war is getting more and more chaotic, the fall of Mang Yi can be regarded as the real start of the battle between saints. The current situation of Immortal Dao is not optimistic. There are very few people left in this generation, and among the few people, there are still unreliable people like Qingxuzi and Dongxuanzi. So Taiqing himself can't make any mistakes, as long as he makes a mistake, the result will be like Mang Yi's return to heaven, and the morality will not be guaranteed.
Taiqing walked towards the mirror, and was about to step into the Tongtian Shenmai, but at this moment, Jingli stopped him again.
"and many more… "
Taiqing turned back unbearably: "You have..."
He stopped mid-sentence.
Because he saw Jing Li get up, then kneel down in front of him, touching his forehead to the ground.
"What a disciple learns all his life is taught by his master..."
Kowtow once.
"Family and life are also bestowed by the master..."
Kowtow twice.
"Now this disciple returns everything to Master, I just ask you to promise me one thing..."
Kowtow three times.
Li Cheng.
"If the disciple dies, I ask Master to protect my human race from death."
