Qiankun Divine Religion, Qiankun Tower Yin Yang Hall.
It was quiet in the huge Yin Yang Temple. Only the cold wind blowing in from the corridor stirred up the swaying sound of the candlelight. Between the huge stone pillars on both sides of the corridor, there was a yellow-robed member of the Qiankun God Sect everywhere. The protector stood quietly aside.
These guardians are the most elite monks of the Qiankun Religion, and they are also the fanatics who admire Chang Yuan the most. They are few in number, less than fifty people, but they are the most powerful core combat force of the Qiankun Religion.
In the past Qiankun Cult, there was a two-level confrontation between the white-clothed cultists headed by Chang Kun and the black-clothed cultists headed by Xie Tianyuan. Although the yellow-clothed guardians were powerful, due to their small number, the black and white factions On weekdays, I didn't take them seriously when they were fighting each other openly and secretly. Although I didn't want to provoke them, I didn't show too much awe.
But after the Qiuyue Valley massacre, the Qiankun Divine Sect suffered an unprecedented heavy blow. The elite guardians of the black and white factions died in great numbers. Only the yellow-robed guardians were not injured at all, and their strength was well preserved. They were suddenly unique among the Qiankun Divine Sect. big.
At this time, not to mention the usually arrogant and domineering guardians in black and white with their nostrils turned upward, even Chang Yuan and Xie Tianyuan looked respectful and did not dare to offend these guardians in yellow when they saw them.
Many people think that the power of practitioners comes from their own strength, but what many people don't understand is that a person's power can only conquer a group of people around him but cannot conquer more people; no matter how powerful a person is, he can only conquer a group of people around him. Conquer a moment, but cannot conquer a lifetime.
Chang Yuan is indeed the most powerful cultivator in the history of Daqi, but even a powerful cultivator like him knows that he cannot build a huge empire with a vast territory like Daqi just by relying on his personal strength.
He must have a group of followers around him, and this group of followers must be strong, and these powerful followers must also have their own followers, so that he can form an empire that belongs to him.
The founding emperor of Da Qi created an unprecedentedly huge empire, and Chang Yuan also created an unprecedentedly powerful spiritual empire based on this empire: the Qiankun Divine Sect!
The Qiankun Divine Religion is like the shadow of the Daqi empire. As it grows stronger, it declines, and now it has finally begun to show an unprecedented decline.
Even if Chang Kun and Xie Tianyuan fought fiercely on weekdays, they now knew that they had caused a huge disaster and brought about the overthrow of the Qiankun Divine Religion!
At this time, in front of the gate of the Yin and Yang Hall of the Qiankun Tower, the chief priest in black and the chief priest in white were kneeling in front of the huge gate. One of them faced the Yang Gate with the sun engraved on it, and the other faced the double moon engraved with it. The two of them were obviously less than ten meters apart, but they seemed to be unable to see each other. They just stared ahead, kneeling on the ground, waiting motionless.
In the Yin Yang Hall, the national master Chang Yuan was practicing in seclusion. On weekdays, when the leader was in retreat, Xie Tianyuan and Chang Kun did not dare or were unwilling to disturb Chang Yuan.
After all, Chang Yuan is, as they say, an "ancestor" and the most unequivocal "parent" in the religious sect. It's too late to hide from such an elder. Who is willing to take the initiative to provoke him on weekdays
But now they can't hide even if they want to, because whoever hides among them will definitely complain to the other party first, and will file a vicious complaint against the other party in front of the "ancestor". Therefore, the two of them came to the Yin and Yang Palace at the same time, even if they were punished by their ancestors, they still wanted to call their ancestors out of seclusion.
However, the two of them had been kneeling here for most of the day. Even though the eternal lamp and the eternal bell at the door, which were used to wake up the ancestors in an emergency, were lit and rang, the door of the Yin and Yang Palace did not open suddenly.
Chang Kun obviously felt more guilty the longer he waited. He couldn't help but said loudly: "Ancestor, the divine religion is in crisis, please come out and turn the tide!"
Xie Tianyuan, who was not far away, glanced at Chang Kun slightly. He had a sneer on his face and secretly despised him: After all, it was the young man who couldn't keep his temper.
But Xie Tianyuan also murmured in his heart. Generally speaking, no matter which one of the everlasting lantern and eternal bell is lit or rung, Chang Yuan will come out of seclusion, but today... why is the ancestor indifferent
Could it be that the ancestor was determined to teach them both a lesson this time
Xie Tianyuan thought quickly. The more he thought about it, the more unsure he became. The more he thought about it, the more chilled he felt. The more he thought about it, the lower he got.
At this time, Chang Kun also glanced at Xie Tianyuan from the corner of his eye, secretly disdainful of the other party's humbleness.
Just when these two people were secretly despising themselves, Chang Yuan, the national preceptor they were waiting for, was quietly looking at the destroyed valley from afar on the cliff of Qiuyue Valley on the outskirts of Beijing. Beside him, There was also a man with a broken arm standing there, it was Qin Shousheng who was in a depressed state.
Qin Shousheng looked at the back of Imperial Master Chang Yuan in awe. He hesitated for a while before summoning the courage to speak: "National Master, can you really save me?"
Chang Yuan tilted his head slightly. His smile was very gentle. He did not have any airs of condescension. Instead, he looked like a gentle and elegant old man: "You should ask yourself this question. Why do you want to commit suicide?"
Qin Shousheng closed his eyes and said with a painful look on his face: "It was a mistake for me to be born! It is even more of a mistake for me to live! There are two gluttons living in my body. Although one escaped in this battle, I can I can feel that it wants to come back, and it wants to find the right opportunity to eat me and the other glutton inside me. Once I am eaten by it, then... it will become a real glutton. At that time, there will really be no People can control it!"
Chang Yuan said calmly: "Oh? So you want to commit suicide? Do you think suicide can solve all this?"
Qin Shousheng said: "If I were the only one, I would naturally not be able to do it. However, since I have met the Imperial Master, the Imperial Master must have a way! Isn't this the purpose of the Imperial Master to find me?"
Chang Yuan smiled and did not answer. Instead, he changed the subject and said: "There was once a man who thought he had great achievements and founded a sect. Then he developed this sect into a very big sect. But Soon, he found that trouble was coming. Because the sect was too big and there were too many things to manage. These trivial things made him unintentional to practice and made him extremely annoyed, so he divided these things into two. He threw it to his capable disciples and threw it to his children."
"He originally thought that these disciples and children could share these things well, but what he didn't expect was that during his long process of seeking immortality, he found that the sect he founded became more and more unpopular. His control.”
Qin Shousheng seemed to have forgotten his own problem at this time. He was so absorbed in listening that he couldn't help but interjected: "Wouldn't it be enough to replace those disobedient people?"
Chang Yuan looked very patient. He smiled slightly and said, "This person also thought and did this at first. But when he found out that after replacing these people, the situation only improved for a while. Soon things became the same as before, they were hostile to each other, fighting each other, fighting for power, and this man had to replace them again. This time this man took charge of these affairs personally, but this man found that things had become worse."
Qin Shousheng said in confusion: "He has great power and keeps his promises. Is there anyone who can still have trouble with him?"
Chang Yuan smiled and said: "No one in the world can truly stick to their word, and no one can do everything as they wish. This man soon discovered that when he was in power, more people were afraid of him. , more people opposed him, he fell into endless battles, and did several things that he regretted extremely. The seeds of hatred were deeply planted at that moment, and now they have been bred. A towering tree!"
Qin Shousheng said: "Then why didn't you cut the grass and get rid of the roots earlier?"
Chang Yuan asked: "Then why didn't you dig out the gluttonous food in your body earlier?"
Qin Shousheng smiled bitterly and said: "If I had done it myself, I would have died on the spot. Now it is too late to react."
Chang Yuan nodded and sighed: "Yes, this person thought the same way as you at the time! Things are different, but the truth is the same! Taotie is a collection of desires. As long as there are humans in this world, there will be desires. , as long as desire exists, Taotie will live forever!"
Qin Shousheng said desperately: "Isn't it possible that even the Imperial Master can't do anything?"
