The Jade Emperor's words made Old Celestial Lord feel frightened, and he subconsciously tried to stop him - How could Tangtang Great Celestial Venerable Jade Emperor descend to earth and leave heaven so easily? Even though he didn't know the truth about the Jade Emperor's current situation, he still felt that this move was extremely inappropriate.
So he quickly stepped forward and saluted. "Great Celestial Venerable, Great Celestial Venerable This is not appropriate."
"You are the Lord of the Six Realms, the Supreme Being of Heaven. Any movement can cause the world to change. You should be accompanied by thousands of spirits and protected by Immortal Qing Immortal General. If you really descended to earth so easily, wouldn't you have lost the rules? Lost your manners?"
"In this case, it's time for me to come down to earth in person on your behalf Great Celestial Venerable and explain this matter clearly."
Old Celestial Lord After some persuasion, the Jade Emperor temporarily put aside the thought of descending to the earth in person, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and then sent a message to Great Master Xuan Du, Great Unity Salvation Heavenly Venerate, while descending to the earth to look for the Zhenwu who did not come here to receive the title. The auspicious clouds circulated, and first he found the Yuanjun of the Earth.
After walking around for a while, I finally found the daring Qi WuHuo.
Old Celestial Lord saw the rude person who dared to refuse the Jade Emperor's edict sitting on a stone, and was still reading a volume of documents, so Old Celestial Lord couldn't help but feel a burst of anger in his heart. He was indignant at such people, but he didn't know the merits of the Jade Emperor, so he dared to idle here.
But Old Celestial Lord finally suppressed the anger in his heart and just laughed and said:
"Green mountains and green waters, the mountains are high and the sky is far away. Daoist priest, I am here to pay my respects."
Young Daoist over there raised his head, first returned the courtesy as gently as a young man in the world, and then saw the pure aura on Old Celestial Lord in front of him, so he asked, "Mr. Who is..."
"Immortal official?"
Old Celestial Lord replied with a smile, "Exactly, I am teaching the Dharma to the Heavenly Court, the Immortal Official and the Heavenly Lord, and now I am bothering the young layman."
"I have something to ask."
Old Celestial Lord, who has always been gentle and well-rounded, spoke sharply today, showing his anger towards the person in front of him:
"The Jade Emperor ordered me earlier, why didn't you go to heaven to receive the reward?"
"If you don't want to go to heaven, why don't you refuse in advance?"
Qi WuHuo raised his eyes and said, "Old sir, can you give me time to refuse?"
Old Celestial Lord's tone faltered, then Qi WuHuo said again, "Besides, why should I go to heaven if I have been granted a seal?"
Old Celestial Lord is well-informed and can be said to be well-versed in all aspects. In addition, he asked Jade Emperor Haotian about the scene he saw in the mirror and knew what Qi WuHuo was thinking, so he shook his head and said, "I know that the young layman has some misunderstandings about the Jade Emperor and the Heavenly Court due to the disasters in the human world, but I still want to say something-"
"How can you blame heaven for the calamity on earth?"
"Don't you hear that eight thousand years ago, it was your clan Human Emperor and Tianzhi's agreement -"
"The affairs of the human world cannot be interfered with by heaven!"
Old Celestial Lord stared at Qi WuHuo and took half a step forward. "I am waiting for Heavenly Soldiers and Generals precisely because I still miss the friendship with the human race and the agreement made eight thousand years ago. Even though I have seen all the competition in the world and am anxious, I have to guard it in the heaven and cannot move lightly."
"Young layman should know this."
"But you have indeed misunderstood me..."
Young Daoist put down the book in his hand slightly, thought for a while, and asked, "Dare you ask the old gentleman."
"The Four Imperial Gou Chen, is it the heaven or the human world?"
Old Celestial Lord looked slightly stunned.
Qi WuHuo continued to ask calmly:
"I dare to ask, does Emperor Lord Donghua belong to the heaven or the human world?"
"I dare to ask, Four Hidden Stars Star Lords, is it the heaven or the human world?"
Old Celestial Lord's expression paused slightly, knowing that Qi WuHuo was questioning him - Heaven will not interfere with the affairs of the human world. When the God of Heaven was acting recklessly, he did not insist on this. But when Heaven wanted to stop the gods under his command, he mentioned that Heaven would not interfere with the human world.
Although he didn't say any mocking words, Old Celestial Lord's expression was no longer as sharp as before.
Qi WuHuo said:
"That's all the poor Daoist wants to ask."
Old Celestial Lord hesitated for a long time, and finally sighed complicatedly, "But, this, the situation in this heaven is very complicated."
"Great Celestial Venerable Jade Emperor He checks and balances the immortals and gods."
"Although this huge heaven is magnificent, it also has its difficulties."
"It's all for the sake of the overall situation of these six realms."
Young Daoist put away the scroll of senior brother Xuan Zhen, then stood up and said, "I know."
Old Celestial Lord was stunned. "Ah?"
"... Old sir, please follow me."
Qi WuHuo walked forward. Although Old Celestial Lord didn't know why, he followed him, Cloud Riding and Mist Driving. Looking from a distance, he saw the vastness of the world and the vastness of all things. He couldn't help but feel refreshed. He saw human cities scattered among the green mountains and green waters. When he looked down from the sky, he saw that the cities were far less luxurious than the palaces in heaven, but he also saw white flags moving.
Like clouds floating all over the city.
It's a bit like a heavenly palace, with white auspicious clouds flowing around, giving it a sense of purity and elegance.
Old Celestial Lord was surprised. Although he was still angry towards Qi WuHuo at this moment, he suppressed it, smiled and praised it, and asked, "Such a scenery, it looks wonderful, it almost feels like heaven. Is today a festival on earth?"
Qi WuHuo replied, "... these are mourning flags."
Old Celestial Lord's smile paused slightly.
Qi WuHuo replied, "Died by Gouchen's Rebellion."
"Deployment of the Demon King and the battle on earth, 150,000 cavalry participated in the battle, including more than 300,000 auxiliary soldiers with heavy logistical burdens, killing Demon Race people, and many died in the war. Jinzhou has now recovered its vitality, and some people are coming back one after another. They hope that the souls of their relatives who died here can return to their hometown, so they hang up mourning banners to summon the souls, hoping that they can come back..."
"Of course, it's just a wish."
Jinzhou Rebellion--
Donghua and Four Hidden Stars did it.
Old Celestial Lord saw from a distance that every city, every town, and every village on the road to Jinzhou was hung with white mourning flags, swaying slightly in the wind. It looked like clouds from the sky falling on the earth. The scenery seemed wonderful, but Old Celestial Lord could no longer watch it at all, and the greeting smile on his face slowly sank.
Finally they came to Qi WuHuo's residence.
In a small courtyard, three white soul-calling flags hang.
Old Celestial Lord's heart trembled slightly.
Young Daoist in front said, "Please follow me."
Here, under Jinzhou, a place like an underground palace was opened up by underground means. Qi WuHuo walked down slowly. Old Celestial Lord was silent for a while and followed him down, walking step by step on the cold steps. He saw a sudden light in front of him, but the cold air was heavier. Old Celestial Lord's footsteps trembled and he stopped in place, unable to move forward.
Stone tablets, huge stone tablets spread out like a forest below, with names engraved on them, such as the disaster of Jinzhou, the disaster of Zhongzhou, Gouchen's Rebellion. The list of the dead is here. It is engraved on the stone tablet and recorded. At a glance, it is almost countless. I don't know how many people died.
Hundreds of thousands?
Hundreds of thousands...
Or millions?
Each stone tablet stands silently, with lights in front of it. People come here to look for the names of their relatives - here is the list determined by Qi WuHuo with the help of Fengdu. There are those who died in war for their family and country, and those who died in disasters. Those on it are all dead, not missing.
Those who found the names of their loved ones howled loudly, while those who did not find them were ecstatic, smiling and bitter. The number of them made Tianjun tremble in his heart.
Old Celestial Lord wants to say, this is Human Emperor being a thief and Demon Race being a chaos.
But then I remembered that Demon Race Great Firmament was dead, Emperor Donghua was dead, and Demon Race more than a million people died in this disaster.
The sword of the young Daoist in front of him was calm, cutting through everything slowly but without hesitation.
Young Daoist said, "I know that the Jade Emperor has his own difficulties."
"Heaven has its own difficulties."
"Maybe in your eyes."
"Heaven has a reason to do this, but..."
Stepping sideways, I looked at Old Celestial Lord. Behind me were stone tablets one after another, with the names of more than a million people on them. One by one, lights were lit in this cold and quiet place. The sounds of howling, laughing, shouting, and crying were like a dirty and turbid purgatory compared to the magnificence of heaven.
Qi WuHuo said, "There are even poor people."
Old Celestial Lord's throat undulated and he said:
"... Heavenly Court conferred the title of Zhenwu on the Lord, precisely because of the hope of solving these problems."
"Thank you for your kindness. I would like to thank the Jade Emperor for his favor."
"I don't think I can do much after entering a paradise where the overall situation is always important."
"Besides."
Qi WuHuo stood next to Old Celestial Lord, looked at him and said softly, "If you can seal it, you can seize it."
"If you practice Daoism and seek truth, truth is the word. If you are a poor Daoist, you will realize it yourself."
"Why do others need to seal it?"
"I haven't finished carving this stone tablet yet, Old Celestial Lord, please come back..."
Old Celestial Lord was stunned as he looked at the countless stone tablets in front of him. There were children who were only thirteen or fourteen years old and howling at the stone tablets, but there were also children who were less than ten years old and stood there blankly. They no longer knew their parents and could not cry. One white-haired old man, who was dressed in shabby clothes and looked like a beggar, suddenly cried and howled. After discovering all the names of his relatives, he burst into tears and bumped towards the corners of the stone tablets.
However, young Daoist suddenly put his finger on the acupuncture point, and a breath of breath calmed old man's mind.
He gently hugged the white-haired old man with his eyes tightly closed, and walked past Old Celestial Lord, who had a jade crown and brocade robes, and a childlike face.
His eyebrows were calm and cold, and he did not even look at this powerful Old Celestial Lord.
Old Celestial Lord felt a little lost.
After all, he is not Tian Shu Institute. He has never said that with the lives of just a few mortal creatures, he knows the overall situation of the six realms and the grand strategy of thousands of years! Does he know the difficulties of the Jade Emperor and the gods?! He has never said it. The gods and immortals are not willing to do this. Seeing you like this, they are also sad in their hearts. However, this is the necessary price for the plan of thousands of years and the stability of the six realms.
Heaven and the Six Realms will remember your sacrifice, in this case.
He was even not sure, if Tian Shu Institute were here and said such words, then young Daoist would have blood flowing from his waist as he walked away.
Will it be unsheathed immediately?
Old Celestial Lord, who sighed for a long time, suddenly realized one thing - I am afraid that this matter is all under Great Celestial Venerable Jade Emperor's Haotian Mirror. He originally wanted to go down to earth in person, but was persuaded by himself. Will the Jade Emperor be directly moved by seeing the things in the six realms and go down to earth?!
Old Celestial Lord's expression changed suddenly.
The Jade Emperor doesn't know why, but in recent days, his temperament seems to have become more active and youthful!
Thinking of the Jade Emperor secretly descending to earth, Old Celestial Lord's scalp felt numb, so he had to pray in his heart that the Jade Emperor's mind would be stable. Celestial Venerable Taiyi and Great Master Xuan Du had arrived, and then he turned around and drove Yu Yunxia headed towards the heaven. The people behind saw old man in jade crowns and brocade robes, with crane hair and childlike appearance. They also saw old man Cloud Riding and Mist Driving, and they knew he was a god.
So suddenly someone knelt down and cried loudly, "Gods, Save from Suffering and Rescue from Calamity gods."
"Please, please give me my little granddaughter's life back."
"I beg you!"
"She is still so young, Save from Suffering and Rescue from Calamity's god, take my life away and give her back!"
There were bursts of shouts and people knelt on the ground, sad and desperate, longing for the protection of the gods.
Old Celestial Lord is speechless.
And these scenes were like knives piercing into the heart of the young Jade Emperor. He pursed his lips, lifted up Haotian Mirror, grabbed the sword next to him, and picked up the protective object given to him by Xuandu and Taiyi. He pursed his lips. Now that the South Pole is self-sealing and the North Pole checks the immortal gods, he can leave for a short period of time.
Come down to earth!
Although he didn't know why he had such a strong drive and desire.
But he wanted to get out of here and have a look. He didn't want to sit in this high-altitude place overlooking the common people anymore.
He wanted to see it for himself.
"Wuhuo came a little late today."
There is a wooden house on a hill in Jinzhou. When Qi WuHuo went up the mountain carrying the things he bought in the slightly prosperous town below, he heard the gentle voice of Empress Houtu. The latter looked at Qi WuHuo with a smile. Qi WuHuo hummed and said, "I met the heavenly king in heaven."
"Oh, Old Celestial Lord."
Houtu Empress Earthly Deity immediately knew who it was and said, "He's here to question you for the Jade Emperor, right? You don't have to pay attention to it, Wuhuo."
Watching Qi WuHuo start to clean up the house and make simple meals, Houtu Empress Earthly Deity thought for a while and said:
"It's you, what are you going to do next?"
"Do you want to practice meditation on this mountain?"
"... I will complete the secret record of destiny left by my senior brother, and then go to the Divine Martial Dynasty in the human world."
"After that..."
"While perfecting the Secret Scroll of Luck, I hope to help the human world and unify all countries."
"Then, pass on all the methods of luck and connect them with all walks of life in the human world. As long as our human race practices the right path, has great achievements in the human world, and has great deeds in the human world, they can all receive feedback from the luck, and they can practice, recreate the grand occasion of Senior Brother Xuan Zhen, and then go one step further."
"In this case, even if the immortals and gods in the heaven are no longer restrained, they will come down to earth to 'seeking the Dao' and 'prove the truth'."
"There is no need to be afraid in the world..."
"In this case, the world does not need to rely on gods, Beidi, or Exorcism Department. We can deal with these ourselves. This is the scenery Senior Brother Xuan Zhen saw back then. I will complete it."
Young Daoist said, "Don't bet your hopes on the mercy of the gods."
"If you want proof, don't be given anything. I will get it myself."
"I wish our human race could be like dragons."
"May this mortal world be as prosperous and splendid as the heaven."
While young Daoist was saying these words, he was squatting in front of a garbage dustpan and peeling a radish with a knife.
Because Empress doesn't like the taste.
Empress Houtu looked at him and asked jokingly, "What happens next..."
She actually doesn't think Qi WuHuo has other ideas.
But young Daoist paused and said softly, "Heaven, earth, people, Ghostly Demons water, is divided into six realms."
"Empress, if the earth, people, demons, underworld, and water bodies all have the same Qi and connect branches, they will all be accomplished by luck."
"If we form another luck system and use it as a practice, what will happen if we are not favored by heaven..."
Houtu Empress Earthly Deity's smiling expression paused slightly, his pupils contracted violently, and he looked at young Daoist over there.
There were huge waves in my heart.
Within the six realms.
The five directions and five realms do not respect heaven and claim to be a system!
She suddenly understood Qi WuHuo's train of thought and what he had always thought - in just ten years, there had been several catastrophes and countless lives and deaths. After experiencing these ten years of Qi WuHuo's verification before his eyes, Heaven might have become a piece of rotten flesh in the Six Realms, and he had no intention of solving the problems of Heaven itself.
Instead, he plans to deal with Heaven directly.
Houtu Empress Earthly Deity wants to laugh and say this kid is joking.
But suddenly he realized it.
Qi WuHuo, Demon Race Master of All Species regards him as his elder brother, and the dragon clan Great Sage Azure Dragon has a very good relationship with him, so he opened up Mount Tai range locally, I am the Lord of Fengdu, I have self-certified Mount Tai Prefect, and Demon Race has six great saints, three great saints of the dragon clan, the earth and water god, plus the two ghost emperors of Fengdu--
The elder brother of Master of All Species, the friend of the Lord of the Water Tribe, Emperor Taishan, Fengdu Prefect.
Plus Houtu Empress Earthly Deity who defeated Gou Chen.
In addition, High Person clan is unified and all spirits are in one domain.
Operating with the Supreme Xuan Zhen way of luck as the core and abandoning the heavenly talisman edict system, what about heaven?
It will become a real cage surrounded by the five realms.
If people from all walks of life do not respect Heaven but seek themselves, is Heaven still Heaven?
Houtu Empress Earthly Deity was stunned, as if he saw another figure in Qi WuHuo, that was Haotian who single-handedly suppressed the ambition of the immortal gods in heaven. After several tribulations, another person took over his idea, but no longer suppressed it by himself, but surrounded and abandoned it with five directions and five realms, completely destroying [Heaven].
Turn into a prison!
Her eyes paused slightly and she looked outside the door. She sensed a huge wave of violent energy.
!!!
Jade Emperor?!
But young Daoist was not aware of this subtle and worrying fluctuation. He skillfully chopped off the root of the radish and put it on one side. This root can continue to be planted and bloom. Then he put the radish in another pot and continued to think, "In this case, the Jade Emperor can also relax, right?"
Houtu Empress Earthly Deity and the breath outside the door paused.
Qi WuHuo said, "Teacher asked me this before, but now I feel that it is not the same individual after reincarnation."
"If the common people can be independent, they can deal with the ambition and malice of immortals and gods."
"The Jade Emperor doesn't need to be bound to the Soaring Heavens Palace by Haotian's last wish, right?"
"He can do what he wants to do, see the flowers blooming in the world, see the beauty of the mortal world, listen to the evening breeze, watch the falling rain, instead of having his life locked by the will of the previous emperor, or accompanying the immortal gods who are afraid of the Northern Emperor and have ambitions to go home. Why bother?"
"He is not Haotian after all."
"It would be too sad to be bound by Haotian Tianzun's last wish."
Houtu Empress Earthly Deity glanced outside the door and said strangely, "It seems that you don't hate the Jade Emperor, but hate the Heavenly Court?"
Young Daoist wondered, "Empress already knows, why do you ask?"
"The Jade Emperor failed to suppress Heavenly Court, but he should have tried his best, otherwise Great Emperor Ziwei of the North Pole would not have helped him."
"It's just that I don't know."
"Why do you have to kidnap him back just after he reincarnated? He just reincarnated and there was nothing. You brought him to a place full of ambitious people. Haven't you ever thought about not relying on the methods of the Jade Emperor and Haotian?"
Houtu Empress Earthly Deity sighed silently.
Qi WuHuo thought for a while and said, "I took it too naturally. The situation back then was complicated."
"But if one day the Jade Emperor leaves office and comes here, I might give him a bowl of noodles and tell him."
"Your duty has been completed."
"You tried your best and tried your best."
"Although it's not perfect, you can rest and have a good sleep. The flowers will still bloom tomorrow. I can take you to climb the mountains in the world, see the world of mortals, laugh loudly, and be yourself freely. You are not the shadow of Haotian, nor the rock that the immortals need."
Wow--
The wooden door suddenly shook, as if something hit the door. Young Daoist was surprised, got up and walked away, and then opened the door. He saw a young man wearing civilian clothes outside, but he looked pampered. His eyes were red, and he seemed to be bullied very hard. He was crying so hard that he was still wiping his tears randomly.
Qi WuHuo felt for the first time that a fifteen or sixteen year old boy could be described as crying like a child.
I cried so hard.
Who bullied him into being like this?
What a cruel heart.
The young Jade Emperor's eyes widened.
With tears in his eyes, he saw young Daoist wearing a commoner and an apron, holding a knife in one hand and a big white radish in the other. But in front of him, young Daoist strode into his world in a very unreasonable way. Holding the knife to split the radish was like breaking the chain around the Jade Emperor.
Qi WuHuo leaned forward slightly, looked at the young man, and asked with a gentle voice:
"... you are?"
"Ah, I, I, I lost my memory!"
The young Jade Emperor was stunned for a moment and said:
"I, my name is, my name is..."
"My name is Little Jade."
