Volume 2: Reenacting the Great Desolation, Chapter 197: Smiling Face and Black Heart, Sweet Mouth and a Dagger in the Heart
Anyone who sees the Great Emperor Zhenwu will think that he has the demeanor of a king. He wears a flat crown on his head, cloud boots on his feet, and a sword that cuts immortals on his waist. He is majestic, with dragon and snake auras entwined behind his head, and the purple aura of the emperor descending from his head. The great witch Tengshe stands beside him, holding an axe and halberd, and is majestic without anger, which adds a bit of grace to the Great Emperor.
However, the aura of the emperor is strong and unyielding. Not only is he unyielding, but he makes other auras succumb to him. Everyone present is a peerless strongman, how could they be easily convinced? Under the traction of the aura, a long river suddenly rushed out of the head of the Styx Patriarch, with turbulent waves, sweeping away the aura of the emperor. The Styx Patriarch's move was not a big deal, but it caused the ancient coffin and green lamp to rush out of the head of the Ancient Buddha of Burning Lamp, suppressing the long river, and the momentum was great for a while.
Seeing this, Master Kong Xuan sneered slightly. A colorful peacock hovered above his head, covering up the brilliance of the green lamp. A black and white relic burst out from the head of the ancient Buddha Juliusun. Just as it was about to shine, two golden dragons rushed out from the head of Taoist Duobao, charging back and forth. Maitreya Buddha smiled slightly, and a laughing Buddha appeared on his head, opening his mouth to laugh silently.
A fairy sword and a talisman also flew out of Guangchengzi's head, guarding his own position. The other immortals of the Chan Sect behind him closed their eyes and rested their spirits. There was a green light on their heads, not competing with everyone.
At this time, Xu You and Chao Fu could not withstand the traction of these complex qi. A purple qi rushed out of their heads, and the cow slept in the purple qi. Although they were powerful, their qi had no intention of attacking, but just defending.
When Taoist Lu Ya saw that the appearance of the Great Emperor Zhenwu caused such a sensation, he sneered in his heart. This person must have a purpose for showing off the emperor's aura. In the future, he might be a powerful opponent for the Emperor of Heaven. Daojun was not to be outdone. A simple and ancient bell burst out from his head. The bell rang and vibrated slightly, suppressing the qi of everyone.
Master Xuandu did not want to see the prosperity of Buddhism. He smiled slightly, and a purple air burst out from his head, holding a wind and fire cushion in the purple air. There were stone tables, stone chairs, and chessboards on the cushions. Two Taoists sat opposite each other and played chess. The sound of chess pieces suppressed the sound of the Donghuang bell, preventing him from being the only one in the lead.
The only ones who did not make a move were Taiyi Tianzun and Zhu Ba Laozu. Taiyi Tianzun was the person in charge. He would not make a move easily, and Zhu Ganglie remained calm in the face of many chaotic qi tractions, just watching with a sneer.
"This Xuantian God is really a troublemaker! It's a pity that I didn't bring the immortal spiritual light, otherwise that spiritual light would have twisted along the trend and made these giants pale in comparison!"
Seeing this situation, Zhenwu Emperor quickly retracted the purple air of the emperor on his head. He walked quickly to Taiyi Tianzun, bowed, and cried, "Brother Daoist, you are so virtuous and have benefited all living beings. I will thank you for all the people in the world!" He shed a few tears.
Taiyi Tianzun hurriedly supported him and said, "I am ashamed. Please sit down, Great Emperor."
Zhenwu Great Emperor stood up, came to the left, and said to Zhenyuan Great Immortal, "Ancestor of Earth Immortals, only you can suppress this situation now. Please help me, Great Immortal."
Zhenyuan Great Immortal smiled and said, "You caused a mess, and I have to clean up the mess?"
Zhenwu Great Emperor smiled and said, "You are reckless. You still need to rely on the Great Immortal." Zhenyuan Great Immortal was very happy to see that he spoke appropriately, and rushed out with a dragon and phoenix on his head. He moved vertically and horizontally, suppressing everyone's aura, and said softly, "Today is a big day for Brother Taiyi Daoist, everyone should restrain a little."
Everyone took advantage of the situation to restrain their aura, but they couldn't help but feel a little unhappy with their opponents and embarrassed. Zhenwu Great Emperor hurriedly stepped forward. He greeted everyone one after another. After a few words, he seized the other party's strengths and had a pleasant conversation. In a short moment, he won over everyone. He was really good at dealing with people!
Zhu Ganglie saw this and admired him very much: "Xuantian Emperor has mastered the way of the emperor and the balance strategy to perfection. On the contrary, Lu Ya Daojun is strong and unyielding. He can only be regarded as a hero at most." However, Lu Ya Daojun can only be regarded as Zhu Ganglie's ally after all, and Old Zhu does not have much good feelings towards Zhenwu Emperor.
The Great Emperor Zhenwu came to Zhu Ganglie last and said with a smile: "Is this the Eighth Ancestor Zhu? I have heard of your name for a long time! Brother, you rose from the grass with mediocre talent, and rose to prominence by the great lake. You have been rising all the way, and your cultivation has improved by leaps and bounds. Moreover, you value friendship and loyalty, and you can be called a hero! The old ancestor is free and easy and affectionate, and is really a role model for our generation!"
This pig fart flattered Old Zhu very much, and he smiled and accepted it. He praised in his heart: "This guy is not bad, but I like to hear flattery, but I don't change my principles at all." He flattered the dragon as well, which made the Great Emperor Zhenwu secretly happy, but he was alert: "It is indeed the smiling and black-hearted Eighth Ancestor, Zhu Ganglie, who is sweet-mouthed and treacherous! I have to be careful when dealing with him, so as not to fall into his calculations."
The Great Emperor Zhenwu sat below the Eighth Ancestor Zhu to show respect, and asked in a low voice about the details of the Sealed Demon List. In his words, he vaguely mentioned the establishment of the Heavenly Court. As long as Zhu Ganglie had a slight intention, the Great Emperor Zhenwu would immediately make a promise.
However, that guy was slippery and relentless. No matter how he tried to probe, he always avoided his words, which made the Great Emperor Zhenwu feel that he was unfathomable and hate him.
"I heard that this guy was a person who was destined to be calamity in the Earthly Immortal Realm, but he may not be a person who is destined to be calamity in this world. When the Demon Sealing List is ready, it is not certain who will get it. I don't need to please him, just wait and see."
When Emperor Zhenwu thought of this, he smiled slightly and stopped talking. Others seek to achieve the Hunyuan Dao and cultivate into the Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal, a body that will be immortal throughout all tribulations. However, Emperor Zhenwu is different. His cultivation is based on the legacy of the ancient immortals. He follows the righteousness of the emperor and cannot achieve the Dao. He pursues the highest goal. The goal is to become the Emperor of Heaven. At that time, the Zhenwu Emperor was also considered to be extremely talented, but he was not as good as Haotian, so he was defeated and allowed Haotian to become the Jade Emperor. He reluctantly became the Zhenwu Dangmo Emperor. He was not even as powerful as the other five emperors, and was only as powerful as the Jade Emperor. A prince in name only.
This time he comes to the Earthly Immortal Realm to give him a chance to make a comeback. As long as he gets the Demon Sealed List, he will build an iron-barrel empire that is even bigger and more magnificent than the Earthly Immortal Realm! Using the contradictions between the six religions as mutual restraints, and the contradictions between the masters of the earthly immortal world and the demonic world as mutual restraints, as long as he operates well, his empire will sit down forever without any possibility of collapse.
Emperor Zhenwu was secretly scheming when he suddenly heard the great Immortal Zhenyuan say loudly: "The time has come, it's time to start." At that moment, everyone stood up and flew into the air to witness the arrival of this moment. At this moment, Yun Zhongzi also completed the sacrifice of the reincarnation channel, and loudly chanted the heaven-sacrifice poem that unified the heaven and earth. It was too long and difficult to speak, so I won't go into details.
The Great Immortal Zhenyuan was not among the six sects, but assumed the position of presiding. After offering sacrifices to heaven, he said: "Hongmeng opened up, regardless of the year, it is now over three hundred years old. At this time, the Six Paths of Life and Death came into being, which can determine the world. Gangcheng guides all the ghosts in the world. There is also the god Taiyi Tianzun, who is willing to incarnate in the six realms in the body of an immortal and bring all living things into the six realms. The dead will have a place to live, and the ghosts and gods will have a place to practice. , What a great contribution! At this moment, there is a month and day to record: the door of hell is opened, July 15th!"
"All the venerable teachers: Salute Taiyi, the Great Heavenly Lord of immeasurable merit and rescuing suffering!"
Everyone clapped their hands and said, "Salute to the Great Heavenly Lord Taiyi, who has immeasurable merits and saves suffering! Promise with one heart, the Great Heavenly Lord who universalizes the world in all directions!" The voice resounded throughout the world, the earth shook, and thousands of creatures in the world, no matter what they were doing at this time , all stopped and listened.
—
Taiyi Tianzun fluttered and flew above the eighteen hells. He sat down, golden lotuses swelled on the ground, and recited the Taiyi Sutra to Save Suffering. Thousands of golden auspicious lights illuminated the underworld, giving insight into every detail. Taiyi Tianzun showed his Dharma appearance, his clothes were flying, his body was tens of thousands of yojanas, and he was shrouded above the hell, with infinite majesty and infinite misery.
Lu Ya Daojun offered sacrifices to the Eastern Emperor Bell, which hung between heaven and earth. But after hearing the sound of the bell, a god walked down from the top of Tianzun's head. It was the Eastern Jade Emperor Tianzun, incarnated as Zhenjun Taisu Miaoguang, a palace in the underworld. King Bingguang came to Xuanming Palace and sat down;
Another bell rang, and a god walked down from the top of Tianzun's head. It was Xuanzhen Wanfu Tianzun from the South, who incarnated as Yinde Dingxiu Zhenjun in the second palace of Hades, King Chu Jiang, came to Ximing Palace and sat down cross-legged;
Another bell rang, and the Supreme Heavenly Lord of the West came out and transformed into the Three Halls of the Underworld. Xi Jing Zhenjun Song Emperor and the Great King came to Jiuji Palace;
Another bell rang, and Northern Xuan Shang Yu Chen Tianzun escaped, transformed into the True Monarch of Xuande and Five Spirits from the Four Halls of the Underworld, and came to the Palace of Supreme Harmony;
Another bell rang, and Saint Tianzun, the Supreme Immortal from the Northeast, escaped and transformed into King Yama, the most powerful lord of radiant spirits in the five palaces of the underworld, and came to Jiulun Palace;
Another bell rang, and the God of Good Life and Life from the southeast escaped, transformed into the Sixth Hall of the Underworld, Bao Su Zhao, became the King of Zhenjun City, and came to the Mingchen Palace;
Another bell rang, and Tai Lingxu Emperor Tianzun from the southwest escaped, transformed into the Seventh Palace of Hades, and waited for King Taishan, the True Lord of Insight, to arrive at Shenhua Palace;
Another bell rang, and the Infinite Taihua Tianzun from the northwest escaped, transformed into the City King of the Eighth Palace of the Underworld, the Flying Demon Yanqing Zhenjun, and came to Bizhen Palace;
Another bell rang, and the Yuxu Minghuang Heavenly Lord from above escaped and transformed into the Supreme Righteous Lord and Equal King of the Nine Palaces of the Underworld, and came to the Qifei Palace;
Another bell rang, and the Heavenly Lord of the True Emperor's Cave escaped from below, transforming into the Great Lord of the Five Flowers of the Ten Palaces of the Underworld, the Weiling True Lord, and came to Suying Palace.
The ten kings of Yama came to their respective palaces and sat down, showing all kinds of majestic appearances. They only heard the great immortal Zhenyuan said loudly: "Please ask the ancestor of the Minghe River to use the water of the Yellow Spring to turn it into the Nine Netherworlds to stabilize the feng shui cycle and guide the world." ghost!".
