Russell looked up and saw the plaque on the tall gate of Taiyi Road.
The three words "Tai Yi Dao" on it were shining brightly, seeming to be the only bright spot in this gray world.
When Russell stared at the plaque closely, a layer of image appeared on the plaque and slowly changed.
In the vast and lonely sky, a large group of human figures were floating in the sky. They were shining with golden light, with indifferent expressions, and they were stepping on auspicious clouds, like gods descending to the earth.
And below their footsteps, countless Taiyi disciples were bowing down, and countless singing voices surrounded Russell's ears.
Russell understood instantly that this seemed to be the once glorious Taiyi Dao and the immortal gods worshipped behind it.
Then the scene changed, and a man in strange clothes sat high on a chair, quietly looking at something like a seal in his hand.
The portrait was blurry and his expression couldn't be seen clearly, but Russell could see his struggle.
In just a few dozen seconds, Russell saw the middle-aged man look back at the statue behind him six times, and he was clearly hesitating about something.
What treasure is this
What amazing treasure did Taiyi Dao obtain
The next moment, the picture continued to turn, and it was the same middle-aged man as before. He was in a secret hall with a coffin in it.
He just raised the seal in his hand high, and the coffin broke instantly. Three or four people with stiff bodies jumped out of it. They slowly knelt in front of him, and the middle-aged man laughed happily.
Russell narrowed his eyes. He was very familiar with these people with stiff bodies. They were clearly zombies.
And these are not ordinary zombies.
Zombies will kneel
Russell had never seen it.
Are zombies self-aware
No, no, it's too scary. Even the Thousand-Year-Old Zombie King can't do this easily.
Corpse control? No, it's impossible.
Russell stared closely at the portrait in front of him, his eyes fixed on the seal in the middle-aged man's hand, and he had a bold guess in his mind.
He remembered what his master had said. It was said that when the world was first created, two treasures were born in the underworld.
That is the Yin-Yang Ghost Seal.
The Yang Ghost Seal commands the underworld clans in the living world, and the Yin Ghost Seal commands the underworld ghosts in the underworld.
The Nether Clan includes zombies, Yakshas, and the remnants of the Brahmins, so it makes sense that the middle-aged man gives orders to the zombies.
Could this be the reason why Taiyi Dao wiped out the entire family
Russell continued watching. The picture was still scrolling. After the middle-aged man obtained the Yang Gui Seal, he secretly used the power of his sect to search for zombies everywhere.
The zombies lined up in a row and soon covered the entire Taiyi Road.
Russell saw several golden lights passing through the air, and then disappeared, going straight into the sky.
He suddenly remembered a saying that once existed: before the heaven left the human world, there were gods everywhere, including mountain gods, water gods, and land gods, who watched over the human world.
Could this have been five hundred years ago
Russell still remembered that his master had said not long ago that five hundred years ago, a great war broke out between heaven and earth. The Heavenly Court, Taoism, and the West withdrew from the world, and the Yang Gui Seal disappeared.
Sure enough, just as he thought, several golden figures descended from the sky and directly scolded the middle-aged man.
But when the middle-aged man picked up the jade seal in his hand, all the angry shouts stopped.
Yang Gui Seal, which powerful person in the world doesn't know it
This is equivalent to the Hongmeng Purple Qi in the novel "Honghuang". Having it does not necessarily make one a saint.
But without it, you can never become a saint.
Especially when the immortals are high above and occupy high positions, and later comers are far behind, with the Yang Gui Seal, there is hope of becoming a ghost emperor.
The higher you go, the less talent, cultivation, or time can make up for it. The gods in the heavens have enjoyed countless tens of thousands of years of luck, faith, and endless resources.
What can latecomers use to catch up!
The picture continued to turn, and dozens of golden lights coming from the sky instantly escaped with the middle-aged man and the Yang Gui Seal.
As soon as they left, a crack appeared in the sky. Endless golden light spread out from it, and countless figures emerged from it.
A huge eye opened from the sky, looking indifferently at the bewildered people of Taiyi Sect. All those who dared to look directly at it turned into a wisp of ash and disappeared into thin air.
The golden light gradually dissipated, leaving only the Taiyi disciples who survived the calamity in fear all day long.
The picture stopped abruptly.
Russell let out a long sigh. The plaque no longer recorded what happened later. After all, it just stayed here and could only record what happened within the sect.
But later on he could probably guess that the gods behind Taiyi Dao didn't know whether they had escaped or not, but they had failed anyway, because Taiyi Dao was gone now.
Russell had no idea whether Taoism, Heaven, and the West were fighting among themselves or fighting with the underworld.
He just knew that the consequences of that incident were extremely serious. Countless powerful people died in it, and all the spiritual energy in the world was destroyed. In the end, they gave up on the world.
The demise of Taiyi Dao is also easy to explain. How could a sect without a deity behind it survive for long
In the wars they started, countless gods died. The reason why their sects were tolerated was because they were too weak and could not even enter the eyes of the gods.
But when they wanted to support the dragon, wanted to become the leader of the righteous path, and wanted to become immortal, this angered the gods.
When the gods are angry, everything without their help will become an ant.
It is so easy for a sect to disappear into thin air.
Russell rubbed his head slowly with his hands and took a long breath. He was just a small geomancer, but he knew such a secret.
I always feel like I'm going to die very soon!
This huge gap made Russell feel a little lost. He could feel Taiyi's decision back then.
We are all human beings. Why do you think you are superior, you occupy everything, and you are the emperor of heaven just because you were born earlier
But we were born late, so even if we are gifted, we cannot catch up.
They have luck, immortal status, talent, the power of faith, resources that had no owner since the beginning of the world, and countless years of cultivation. What can these people in later generations use to catch up
despair.
Just like in later generations, even if your descendants work hard for ten or twenty generations, they will never catch up with the richest man, or even other less wealthy people.
If you have this opportunity, are you willing to give it a try
"call!"
Russell thought of the Yin Gui Seal, his heart beating wildly. Should he take it? Should he take it for himself
If you get it, you may be in a high position in the future, or you may be hunted down, suppressed, and never be able to turn over.
If you don't take it, it's easy to become a heavenly master by killing monsters and ghosts on your own, and you just need to work hard to become a god.
But what about above the gods
Who to kill
When it comes to the level of gods, almost everyone knows each other, and no one will kill each other even if there is a fight between beliefs. After talking to each other, everyone becomes an acquaintance.
Russell ran over and killed people at will. After ten, twenty, or even hundreds of years, he reached the level of immortals. Which immortal would not pay attention
The gods are not fools!
Should I take a chance or become a cool little god
This is a difficult decision for everyone.
People face choices throughout their lives, choices that influence their future, and no one knows whether they are right or wrong.
Russell didn't know either.
He stood quietly at the door of Taiyi Dao in a daze, when a figure appeared silently on the opposite side.
It was actually a skeleton, covered with red hair, which was particularly strange.
Russell's eyelids were twitching. The terrifying aura like the abyss made him lose all desire to resist.
Damn, this is far more terrifying than the old Heavenly Master who was blessed with the Heavenly Master Seal before.
If the old Taoist priest before was the well water, then the skeleton in front of him was the vast ocean!
The fierce aura that rolled in made Russell's hair stand on end.
The skeleton slowly raised its head, red hairs appeared in its eyeballs, its mouth slightly opened, unknown waves spread out, and the palace in front of it turned into ashes and disappeared.
“Fuck!”
Russell had only one thought in his mind.
escape!
ps: I had a lot of fun writing today, and I improved the background as well. Um, 6,900 words.
