Chapter 338 The Remnants of Tantai
In the early morning, the sky is still bright.
In Sui'an City, in the backyard square of a large house, a man about 20 years old was dancing vigorously with a four-foot-long stainless steel sword in his hand.
His upper body was bare, and he looked very muscular, with broad shoulders and arms, and legs like piles. This man was none other than Sheng Yuzhou. He was holding a steel sword in his hand and was practicing the large and small Tiangang sword techniques of Zhanxiesi.
This sword technique originated from the military, and is divided into the Big Tiangang Dao and the Small Tiangang Dao. These two sword techniques are divided into Yin and Yang. The Big Tiangang Dao is strong and powerful, while the Little Tiangang Dao is feminine and cunning. It can be practiced until it is full of fire. The yin and yang sword techniques combine hardness and softness, are ever-changing and unpredictable.
There are many masters in the Evil Killing Division who came from the three major schools in the military. Among them, there are many masters who are based on martial arts and later turned to Taoism. Furthermore, many of the monks and magicians dealt with by the Evil Killing Division rely on force to win. opportunity.
Therefore, the large and small Tiangang sword techniques are also widely circulated in the evil-killing division. There are only a few good players in the evil-killing division with bat cards who are not good at it. However, those who can practice these two sword techniques day after day Not many people have reached this level.
At this time, Sheng Yuzhou's sword was swift and fierce, mixed with lightness, and his body movements were also nimble, like a running snake or a snake, and the silver light was billowing like ocean waves.
At this moment, several people dressed as servants standing nearby took out the buckets in their hands and suddenly poured them towards Sheng Yuzhou.
In an instant, the force of the sword changed, and Sheng Yuzhou's figure whirled sharply. The fine steel horizontal sword in his hand was also wrapped around his body, and he disappeared instantly. The light of the sword wrapped the figure into a big silver ball, and his whole body was impervious to wind and rain.
What the servants splashed out was not water, but ink. The dark ink was splashed towards Sheng Yuzhou, but all the ink was stirred up by the force of the knife, and not a drop of it touched his body.
With a swish sound, Sheng Yuzhouhuo turned around and threw the knife away. The fine steel horizontal knife flew several feet away and flew back to the empty scabbard on the waist of a guard. Following his movements, someone called out Say "ok"!
"Sheng Qianhu's sword skills are almost psychic. This is no longer sword skills, but magic skills. As expected of the Sheng family in Yujing, the family education is indeed the origin..."
The man who spoke was wearing a blue cloth robe, a Xiaoyao scarf on his head, and a small green jade pendant hanging from his waist. He had sharp eyes and sword eyebrows. His appearance was very strange and elegant. He seemed to be a celebrity from a wealthy family.
"How can Protector Sun say this?" Sheng Yuzhou smiled slightly when he saw this person coming.
"The Dao and Da Tiangang sword techniques are, in the final analysis, nothing more than mortal martial arts. They are not as good as your sect's "Three Volumes of Tianxiang", and they are not as good as Master Shi's "Incense Golden Body, Purifying Brahma Net". This road leads directly to the Lord of God. The Tao, once attained, will be immortal for all eternity, unstained by dust, and a state of transcendence and freedom in the Great Perfection.”
"Hahahahaha..." The middle-aged man in green robe, known as Protector Sun, couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly.
"Sheng Qianhu's words are wrong. Since ancient times, there have been no immortals in the divine way. How difficult it is to achieve the path of a divine master.
Although the "Three Volumes of Tianxiang" of our sect has passed down the way of ascending to the gods and transcending the world by "incense and golden body, purifying the Brahma Net", it is a pity that the way of heaven is incomplete. After the catastrophe of heaven and man, the way of heaven and immortality was cut off, and there was only the divine way, but no immortality. If there is no way, it will not be able to combine with 'Heaven' and transform into 'God'. "
Having said this, Protector Sun shook his head.
"The Shinto is the way of gods. Gods, gods, cannot do without heaven, nor can they do without gods... Incense and golden bodies are not so easy to cultivate!"
"Oh, it turns out that there is still such a connection in it. I am ignorant of it."
When Sheng Yuzhou heard this, his heart darkened slightly.
"However, I heard that there are still several god-lords in the world of cultivation, such as the three ancient gods of the Tao Sect's Three Innate Gods, and the Mahakala of the Mud Sect..."
"Sheng Qianhu, be careful what you say!!"
Protector Sun quickly interrupted Sheng Yuzhou.
"That person from the Mud Cult, who has great powers and mystical skills, has rarely shown any miracles in the past five hundred years, but his name should not be recited carelessly. Anyone who is said by the God Lord and all living beings in the world, As long as the thoughts in the heart involve his name, the deity will sense it. Sheng Qianhu must not recite that name randomly, unless the state of Qianhu can reach the Mahayana Buddhism's "not a single thought, not a single thought" Otherwise, there is no way to hide that person’s thoughts.”
"So that's it."
Sheng Yuzhou nodded when he heard this.
"Leave aside the three innate sects, at least the three divine masters existed before the Great Tribulation of Heaven and Man in ancient times, and the one from the Mud Sect should have achieved the supreme position only in later generations. However, according to Protector Sun, you mean……"
"The one from the Mud Sect should have used other methods to achieve the position of god. This method is secret, and only people in the Mud Sect can know its secrets. And judging from various traces, this method is probably also very difficult. copy."
Protector Sun shook his head.
"The way of the God Lord is indeed the supreme method of 'immortality for all eternity, unstained by dust, and transcendence and freedom'. But to achieve this method, it is no easier than attaining the Earthly Immortal. It is even higher in terms of attainment." Level... However, the God Lord system also has its own difficulties. If not for this, our "Three Volumes of Tianxiang" would be ranked at the bottom of the 36 Taoist methods."
The Wenxiang Sect's "Three Volumes of Tianxiang" ranks 35th among the Taoist methods, and among the 36 Zhengfa, the ranking is indeed relatively low.
The three volumes of Tianxiang are divided into the three incense methods of "Heaven", "Earth" and "Human". Among them, the way of "Human Xiang" is to cultivate the way of Yin spirit upper body, demon spirit possession, shamanism and communication with all spirits.
As for the earthly incense method, it is a method of condensing the soul, cultivating yin virtues, gathering faith, condensing the will power, summoning believers, and establishing a great religion. Although it is denounced as an evil way, it can still enter the Tao; as for the higher-level heavenly incense method, What he practiced was the ancient way of sacrifice. With the power of sacrifice, he could even canonize gods and ghosts. However, this method was completely discontinued after the Great Tribulation of Heaven and Man.
"Pity."
Sheng Yuzhou also sighed.
Recently, he received the "Dragon Elephant Seal Technique" personally taught by Situ Haoxing. He wanted to merge with his uncle Wu Meizi, who had been lurking in the Zijia Palace for decades. One method, thus breaking through the realm of Taoism.
It is a pity that he has been practicing hard for a long time, but he has never been able to understand the mysteries, get rid of the illusion, and achieve the realm of the unity of Buddha and demon. This has also led to his delay in breaking through and entering the Tao.
Sheng Yuzhou has long heard that the incense golden body of Wenxiang Sect is a quick method. It can become a saint instantly, that is, it can achieve Taoism in the shortest speed. If it is based on Taoism, the achievement of spiritual manifestation will be better than other methods of Taoism. Faster.
'Incense Golden Body, it is said that as long as a large number of believers are collected and then worshiped with incense, an ordinary person can directly achieve Taoism in five years at the latest and three years at the fastest. This speed is really enviable to others... But , the incense golden body is inferior to the methods of other sects in terms of achievements. The strength after achieving Taoism is obviously not as good as those who follow other routes. This is also the biggest flaw! ’
However, stones from other mountains can be used to attack jade. Sheng Yuzhou believes that he has never been able to find a way to unite Buddha and demons, and cannot get started. If he can obtain the "Three Volumes of Tianxiang" of the Wenxiang Sect, he may be able to learn from the "Incense and Fire Golden Body" method. , get some enlightenment and find an opportunity to enter the Tao.
"No more gossip."
Protector Sun shook his sleeves and said: "Sheng Qianhu, I'm here to discuss business. Do you know that someone broke into the Mi family mansion yesterday and looked for an opportunity to kill the imprisoned steward? Hehe, that person's The strength is really not simple, not even the two Kui teachers of our sect can stop him!"
"Last night?"
Sheng Yuzhou squinted his eyes.
"The other party should be Mi Liang from the Mi family. This person is the master of the Mi family, but his identity is a bit strange. I suspect that he is significantly involved in a case in Beiguan Road..."
"That man's cultivation is not weak. He originally wanted to go to the pavilion in the mansion, and he must have been eyeing the seal. However, when he failed to succeed, he turned to find He Fusheng and looked for an opportunity to kill him."
Protector Sun sighed.
"I didn't come over yesterday because I had something to do. I only sent three of my generals to guard there. They fought with them and one of them was injured."
Having said this, Protector Sun, who looked like a famous Confucian scholar, glanced behind him. Among the three figures standing behind him, a tall and burly black man who looked like an iron tower walked out slowly.
"General Liu Kui, please present your things!"
Protector Sun raised his chin to signal, and the black man quietly took out an object, which was wrapped in red cloth and presented to the two of them.
Sheng Yuzhou took it over, untied the red cloth on it, and found a severed hand inside.
"Broken hand?"
"It's a puppet prosthetic."
Protector Sun said in a deep voice: "General Liu Kui's strength is profound, not inferior to ordinary Dao masters. After he fought with the intruder, he was slightly injured, but he tore off one of the opponent's arms in the process. From this You can tell from his arms that that person should be from the Immortal Puppet Sect..."
"The Immortal Puppet Sect, one of the Nine Evils of Immortality?"
Sheng Yuzhou frowned.
"I didn't expect that such a heretic would come out to cause harm to the world..."
After speaking, he looked at the figure standing behind Protector Sun. In addition to the chief general named Liu, there were two figures, a man and a woman.
The man was a stern young man with a dark complexion. As for the woman, she turned out to be a foreign woman, with fair skin, a high nose, and slightly green eyes. This was the appearance of a Tiele person.
"This is General Luo Kui and General Yu Kui. Neither of them have entered the Tao, but their actual combat power is almost the same as that of Tao masters!"
Protector Sun introduced it to Sheng Yuzhou. According to the internal division method of Wenxiang Sect, Kuijiang belongs to the middle-grade Ten Incense Rank. Among the twenty-four incense spectrum of Wenxiang Sect, the leader, elder, protector, and Kuijiang all belong to the middle-grade. ten spices.
"You may not be a Taoist master, but you can still be considered a top general in the Wenxiang Sect. What does this mean?"
When Sheng Yuzhou heard this, he was also thinking in his heart.
After all, the Wenxiang Sect is also one of the great sects in the world, one of the Nine Evils of Immortality, and they will not find some random people to take up the high position. These three people are also quite strange. Although they are not strong enough to enter the Tao, they exude a tyrannical aura. The demonic aura and behavior are also somewhat different from ordinary people.
'demon! ’
Sheng Yuzhou's heart skipped a beat, and he looked at the three people up and down again, muttering in his heart.
"Good guy! It seems that the rumors are true. The Wenxiang Sect has indeed colluded with the demons in the Abyss Realm. These three generals are not human beings at all, but three big demons!"
Protector Sun saw the strange look in his eyes, but he didn't care. He opened a jade fracture fan and said calmly: "Sheng Qianhu, the Immortal Puppet Sect is not easy to mess with. Our Wenxiang Sect is really willing to I support you, Sheng Qianhu, but in the final analysis, I still value Sheng Qianhu’s abilities. Jinhe Prefecture is a good place, but it’s a pity that this place is the prince’s territory. What are your plans?”
"...Prince?"
Sheng Yuzhou grinned.
"Indeed, Jinhe Prefecture is a piece of fat in the eyes of the princelings. Unfortunately, it is not that easy to eat it. There are also powerful figures among the princes, such as the fourth prince, who is the Blood Law Division. In addition to managing the affairs of the Mu clan, the chief of the department also has the power to supervise all officials, select the royal family's children, and report to the current emperor as appropriate."
"I know this too."
Protector Sun nodded.
"The Blood Law Department has a lot of power, and it overlaps with the Evil Slayer Department in some functions. The two sides have been secretly competing with each other. The emperor of Dayou asked the fourth prince to take this position. On the one hand, he appointed him and trained him, and on the other hand, he On the one hand, it is also to balance the situation and maintain this internal and external balance.”
"On the other hand, delegating power to the fourth prince is also to restrict the prince."
Sheng Yuzhou spoke in a low voice and said: "The prince has a deep heart and a high status. He can form cliques for personal gain. In fact, the emperor is not happy with him in his heart. Moreover, the Blood Law Department seems to have a handle on the prince. As long as the news is revealed, the emperor will If you get angry, the crown prince's position will not be preserved..."
"Oh, does Sheng Qianhu know something inside?"
Protector Sun's eyes lit up and he also wanted to find out this secret.
"Hey, this can't be said, can't be said."
Sheng Yuzhou waved his hand.
"The Blood Law Division already knows the prince's secret, and will definitely take action to crack down on the princelings. Even if the prince is not brought down this time, it will cause a mess that will be difficult to clean up. It can take as little as a month or as long as three months. Things are bound to break out... As for Jinhe State, hey, who else can devote their energy to Jinhe State at that time."
"So that's what happened?"
Protector Sun did not continue to ask. He heard what Sheng Yuzhou said, and he was afraid that a civil strife would break out in the court, and Prince Dayou's throne might not be preserved. Sheng Yuzhou also had this inside information, and then decided to attack Jinhe State.
"Jinhe Prefecture is an important place in the pass, directly connected to the Beiguan Road. If we can use the route of Jinhe Prefecture, our Wenxiang Sect can penetrate into the Beiguan Road and slowly rise with the help of the power of the Beiguan Road. As for this Sheng Yuzhou, this person His ambitions are also very great. If he controls Jinhe Prefecture, he might be able to suppress the Yuwen family outside the pass. After all, Beiguan Road has relied heavily on this line outside the pass for so many years. If there is no direct line to the pass, The Yuwen family is unable to support Beiguan Road, a bitter and cold place..."
Protector Sun knew very well that the cooperation between Sheng Yuzhou and the Wenxiang Sect was nothing more than an intention to use the power of the Wenxiang Sect to achieve his own ambitions. In turn, the Wenxiang Sect also had the same idea and planned to use this Shengyuzhou to build a new business in Jinhe. States develop their own sectarian power.
"This Sheng Yuzhou, on the surface, is a Qianhu member of the Evil Slayer Division. He is secretly colluding with our Wenxiang Sect, a cult in the eyes of the world. He is obviously not a simple character. I think he is ambitious and has evil intentions. In the future, we Wenxiang Sect Since religion has become a popular trend in Jinhe Prefecture, I will try to drag him into the water and invite him to join in the cause!"
In fact, his thoughts were also seen through by Sheng Yuzhou.
"The Wenxiang Sect practices "Three Volumes of Tianxiang" and needs to collect believers and collect incense. This is contrary to Dayou's national policy. As long as the Spring and Autumn Catastrophe breaks out in the future, I will try to force the Wenxiang Sect to revolt. As long as they occupy Jinhe This important place in the state can cut off the power of the Yuwen family in Beiguan Dao. Among the five realms and eight wildernesses in the world, there is one less force that can be the king..."
Sheng Yuzhou snorted coldly in his heart.
"Only in this way can the world be brought into chaos, and our Tantai family be able to fish in troubled waters and regain the world!"
Just when the two were hiding evil intentions and scheming against each other, a black cloud suddenly appeared in the sky of Longhe County. The black cloud slowly descended and fell from the sky.
Then, as the "Great Veil Method" was activated, a voice sounded in the air like thunder.
"Sheng Yuzhou, you remnant of the Tantai family, prepare to die!"
