Chapter 693 Heading to the Ancestral Court
King Li Tian was furious. He risked being beaten to death and came to find Chen Shi personally, not to bring him the will of the Great Heavenly Lord, but to be the sub-master of the Great Yuanshi of Bingma!
Chen Shi did not know how to command troops and horses. He expected that he would need an expert to help him during this expedition. Unexpectedly, Chen Shi actually wanted to appoint his beloved concubine as the commander-in-chief.
It’s so faint!
Wang Li has already asked the Jade Emperor for instructions on this matter. The Jade Emperor told him that as long as Chen Tianwang nods, he can be the handsome man.
Of course the Great Heavenly Lord can designate who will be the commander-in-chief, but Chen Shi, Chen Bing, Penglai Xi, and his own troops, the Great Heavenly Lord forcibly sent a commander-in-chief, but he was afraid that he would die inexplicably in office within a few days.
Chen Shi can definitely do this kind of thing.
But how has Ji Tianwang ever been so aggrieved?
Chen Shi saw this and knew that he had missed the mark, so he smiled heartily and said: "Don't get me wrong, fellow Taoist. You are injured now and cannot help me lead the troops, so I asked my concubine to do it for me. As long as my fellow Taoist recovers from his injuries, the position of the commander-in-chief will still be yours."
A glimmer of hope arose in King Li Tian's heart: "Seriously."
"There is no joke in the army. As the marshal of the world's soldiers and horses, how can I not keep my word?"
Chen Shi comforted him a few words, but felt a little worried in his heart: "I wonder if my godmother will still know the whereabouts of King Li Tianwang, the great god of the Three Tanhai Club? Or maybe the god of the Three Tanhai Club is tired of fighting and won't come to fight, which will be troublesome. Or, how about I pretend to be the great god of the Three Tanhai Club and kill King Li Tianwang?"
He was startled by his idea.
"I can't beat his two sons. That's all. After he recovers from his injury, if he still wants to be the commander-in-chief, then find a reason to let him lead a small team that betrayed me to quell the chaos, and let him die in the quelling the chaos. Our army Many of them are from the Immortal Courtyard. "
Humbling about this, he couldn't help but exclaim: "What's the difference between Gu and King Li Tian?" He immediately ordered Jin Zha and Mu Zha to say: "Send my father back to the heaven quickly! Once in the heaven, the rebellious son will not dare to mess around." In the sea, the dark sea is endless and you can’t tell the direction. How can you find it?”
King Li Tian said: “The Chinese Ancestral Court is the ancestral home of almost all creatures in the earthly and immortal world. Immortals often returned to the ancestral home in those days.
经常显圣，但后来大天尊觉得他们干预世事，经常左右王朝更迭，因此便命人将祖庭送回黑暗海。 Today, there is only one road left that leads directly to the Chinese ancestral court. This road is at Hangu Pass. 》
· "Hangu Pass?" There is no distinction between teachings, and one person is quiet and inactive. He has three thousand disciples and a large number of followers. When I saw that Confucianism was booming and had the power to sweep the world, I no longer lingered on it and left the Hangu Pass. The place I went to was the world of immortals."
This allusion Chen Shi once heard Jiao Zi say that in this battle of moral principles, Lao Tzu lost, but although Master won and the world respected Confucianism, he neglected the creation of the immortal world by the Three Qing Dynasties.
By the time Master realized it, the Sanqing lineage had become orthodox in the earthly immortal world. When Master goes to the immortal world again, only Penglaixi, an abandoned place, will be left.
Li Tianwang said: "Hangu Pass is the pass that connects the two places. This pass is divided into two, one side is in the Chinese Ancestral Court, and the other side is in the Earthly Immortal Realm. I once led an army to Hangu Pass, and many soldiers in the army knew the route. "
Chen Shi just pretended not to understand the meaning of his last sentence and said with a smile: "Since someone in the army knows the path, I will not delay fellow Taoist's treatment. Fellow Taoist, does the Great Heavenly Lord have an edict or a handwriting?"
King Li Tian had no choice but to hand over the imperial edict from the Jade Emperor to Chen Shi. Chen Shi accepted the edict and said, "I won't send it away."
King Li Tian said, "Stay."
Chen Shi looked at the two men of gold and wood and said, "Both sons of Taoist friends are Buddhist masters?"
King Li Tian said yes and said: "The eldest son is a protector under the seat of Manjushri Bodhisattva. The second son is under the seat of Avalokitesvara. Be a venerable person under the Bodhisattva's seat."
Chen Shi nodded lightly, his expression unchanged, and said: "Both of these good nephews are extraordinary. Fellow Taoist, please."
Muzha gave a clear scolding and drove Yu to leave.
"Father, Chen Shi is just a true immortal, and he has gone too far to deceive others."
Protector Jin Zha was quite unhappy and said, "Father is a close confidant of Great Heavenly Lord, and Great Heavenly Lord asked father to come with an order, making it clear that he wanted him to accept father as his sub-marshal. He actually refused. I think he will not take the position of Grand Marshal of the Army for a long time."
King Li Tian said: "I have a long-standing grudge with him. I have sent him to death several times, so he should have complained. What he asked before leaving was vicious, saying that I was not clear with Xitian and was unfaithful to the Great Heavenly Lord. He probably wanted to use this name to deny me the position of yashuai."
He hesitated.
His exquisite pagoda was given to him by the Ancient Buddha of Burning Deng in the West. His eldest son and second son all worshiped the Bodhisattva, and they were also masters in the West. His own performance is indeed unclear from Xitian.
With with withholding this with us with us with me with me with the Jade Emperor in the future, it will be difficult for him to distance himself from the relationship?
"This Chen Shi is not easy to deal with." He thought to himself.
Chen Shi stayed at Jin'ao Island for a few days. On the one hand, his minor cultivation was unstable and needed to be stabilized. On the other hand, during his absence, the heretics in Penglaixi had a tendency to counterattack. Chen Shi still needed to refine the heretics to prevent these immortals from being eroded by the heretics.
Jiao Zhuozi asked: "Why not completely refine the heretic here?"
Chen Shidao: "As long as the heretic is controlled properly, it is beneficial and harmless. Leaving some outsiders to surround their Tao realm may be able to avoid the tribulation."
He went to the underground Qinggong again. This time he entered the Qinggong and looked at the laws of heaven on the wall.
Chen Shi realized more things from these marks, and felt a little selfless for a while.
Puluo Village Qingbei restrained the Dark Sea and Tiandao, but because the Dark Sea and Tiandao contained in the Tao Ruins was incomplete, the Qingbei did not completely crack the Dark Sea and Tiandao. The two facts confirmed that Chen Shi gained a lot.
Chen Shi studied the Heavenly Laws of the Qing Palace again, but did not find the Cursed Way. He thought to himself: "There are also heretics in the Chinese ancestral court. Shang Dugong said it was the Cursed Way. These shamans used the Cursed Way to kill many immortals. The Cursed Way is not among the Immortal Ways. Maybe Xiaobian can order them to hand over the Cursed Way. It's strange, why there is no Cursed Way here——"
He walked out of the Underground Qing Palace, still puzzled.
"Could it be said that the Dark Sea monks did not discover China at that time, so there was no curse recorded in the Qing Palace?"
This kind of history is too ancient to be traced back. Chen Shi just thought about it and threw it behind him.
For this expedition, he mobilized 20 troops from four divisions, a total of 20,000 heavenly soldiers and generals, and all kinds of elixirs, magical weapons, arrays, buildings, ships, and chariots were all mobilized by the heavenly court.
Chen Shi changed into a suit of armor and stomach, which shone with golden light, making him look both heroic and mighty.
Xiao Ye is dressed in armor and has the heroic spirit of a female general. Chen Shi's heart skipped two beats when he saw it.
"This suit is good, I will use this armor and stomach next time without taking it off."
The army moved forward, and the large ship carried 20,000 generals and sailed to the nearest star gate.
When they arrived at the Star Gate, they put away the building boat and took the Xingcha. After many twists and turns, for more than ten days, they finally arrived at Hangu Pass.
The Star Gate is outside Hangu Pass. Chen Shi looked at this majestic pass, but saw that this pass was majestic. The iron walls were black and shiny, like a barrier that stretched for countless thousands of miles, blocking the sea water and monsters of the Dark Sea.
Hanggu Pass above, the stars are as bright as a bucket, the light is scorching, and the starlight is falling like rain.
In the heavy starlight, there is a vaguely majestic world, like a holy land, but also like a Taoist realm.
Chen Shi saw that he was fascinated. Zhonglin, a master of the secrets on the side, said: "King of heaven, Hangu Pass is an important town of the immortal family. It is guarded by the Daluo Jinxian Wenshi Zhenren of the Taiqing lineage, and has a hundred thousand immortal soldiers and generals under his command. This Wenshizhenren is not a trivial matter. When I came out of the pass, he guarded here. The De Dao Jing written by Laozi was handed down to the world through his hands."
Chen Shi studied the De Dao Jing with Zhu Xiucai and benefited a lot. After hearing this, he unconsciously felt close to Wen Shi Zhenren.
He said: "You mean that the one hundred thousand immortals and Wen Shi Zhenren are hiding among the stars?"
Zhonglin said : "Zhenren Wenshi has already attained Daluo. Although he was ordered to guard this pass, he may not be in the middle of the pass. Besides, heaven and the immortals are not dealing with each other, so we should not get too close to him."
An immortal general flew out and said: "The Grand Marshal of the World's Soldiers and Horses has been ordered by the Great Heavenly Lord to go to the China Divine Continent to quell the demonic chaos! Please let me know."
The defenders heard this and hurried away.
After a while, a Taiyi Golden Immortal who was guarding the place flew out and verified the Jade Emperor's imperial edict, as well as Chen Shi's military talisman and seal ribbon, before letting him go and said with a smile: "Don't be surprised, King Chen Tian. It has been uneasy recently and chaos has occurred all over the place, so we have to be more careful. The lower official is Wen Shizhen's disciple, Wu Zhenzi, known as Wudao Ren."
Chen Shi asked doubtfully: "Isn't it peaceful recently?"
"Isn't it?"
Wudaoren smiled and said, "The bandits who make trouble are good at imitating the heavenly officials. I heard that the evildoers on the list of immortals pretend to be the kings of heaven and show off everywhere. By the way, why did King Li Tian go down?"
Chen Shi gave him a warning look and knew that this person was using the fact that he had been on the list of Zhu Xianzun to smear him. Of course, it may not be smear, so he immediately said lazily: "King Li Tian? He took the salary from Heaven, but he cheated and flirted with Xi Tian. He was unfaithful to the Great Heavenly Lord, so he was dismissed. Whose salary will you get, fellow Taoist?"
The Wudao people smiled and said, "Of course it's the Heavenly Court salary. The King of Heaven invites you here."
Chen Shi led the army into the pass and said: "To get the Heavenly Court salary, you must be loyal to the Heavenly Court. I heard that some people took the Heavenly Court salary, but flirted with the Immortal Court."
The Wudao people were smiling, but it was frozen on their faces.
Chen Shi did not continue. After all, he was not clean either. He still paraded around the city with the title of disciple of the Immortal Emperor.
Chen Shi said: "Is Zhenren Wen Shi here?"
Wudao Ren said: "My mentor has been in seclusion these years and rarely comes out."
Chen Shi was quite sorry.
Wudao people led them to a portal. They saw that this portal was also a star gate, made from the core of stars. The left and right sides of the gate were divided into five portals, and the starlight shone in the gate.
"There has been no immortal ascended in the ancestral court for a long time."
Wudaoren said, "In the past, Taoism in the ancestral court was flourishing. Since Master's Taoism became a prominent school, fewer and fewer people have ascended. Mostly it is the Master's Taoism. Zi's method is not as good as the Three Purities method."
Chen Shi gave him a warning look and said: "I am from the Master's lineage."
Hidaoren Wu quickly said: "I am quick to speak, so don't blame the king. By the way, I am from the Taiqing lineage."
Chen Shi smiled and said, "I see. Our masters are all cheerful people and never hold grudges. Don't worry, Wu Dao people, I will definitely say a nice word for you in front of Your Majesty when I return to heaven." After that, he had a gloomy face.
Wudao people are awe-inspiring and dare not tease him anymore.
There are three thousand immortal soldiers and generals guarding the star gate, each sitting in the void, all lighting up the talisman flags, waving the talisman flags, and then they see the starlight shining down from the stars in the sky, and the sound of Yu shines on the star gate.
The star gate gradually lights up, the ancient Dao patterns are intertwined with each other, the Dao patterns change, and the location the Star Gate leads to is also constantly changing.
"This knowledge is very profound." Chen Shi secretly praised.
When the pattern of the star gate stops changing, you will see the starlight in the gate gradually receding, revealing another time and space.
That is the other half of Hangu Pass!
Chen Shi gave the order, and the heavenly soldiers and generals filed in, walked into the star gate, and came to another Hangu Pass.
Chen Shi walked at the end and was about to enter the Star Gate when he suddenly remembered something and said: "Friend Wu Dao, was there a man passing by with two dogs some time ago? That person should be the nephew of the Great Heavenly Lord."
"Could it be that the Heavenly King is talking about the True Monarch Xian Sheng? He has actually been here. It’s just that he didn’t bring two dogs. There were two Taoists around him, one was unshaven, and the other was very young and a Taoist boy.” Chen Shi heard this and said slightly: “Those two Taoists are probably the dog Taoists Zhong Lin said. I just don’t know which one is the scapegoat.”
He entered the Star Gate with Xiao, and thought of Master Zhang unconsciously, thinking: "Zhenren Zhang will definitely be surprised when he returns to the Chinese Continent that I came here earlier than him."
He arrived at Hangu Pass on the opposite side, and Chen Shi was about to take out the military talisman and the Jade Emperor's will, but no immortal general guarding this pass came to question him.
At this time, there was a commotion outside the pass. Chen Shi quickly flew out of the pass and saw many heavenly soldiers and generals standing on the city wall, all looking out. Some soldiers flew out of Hangu Pass and stood in the air, looking blankly ahead.
Chen Shi looked forward, but saw a vast expanse of white in front of the pass, and the ground was covered with bones.
When the wind blew, several skulls rattled and rolled with the wind. They were stuck in ribs and arm bones and bumped around, but they were not allowed to roll.
Chen Shi felt the strong demonic and heretical aura between heaven and earth, and his heart skipped a beat. The heretics in Huaxia Shenzhou are obviously cursed paths and not demonic paths. Why is there the aura of heretics and demonic energy here?
He looked further away. The land thousands of miles ahead was covered with dead bones, and a half-rotted flag was planted on the ground in the distance.
That is the Black Dragon Flag, with the words "Da Shun" embroidered on the other side.
The strong wind blew up and piled up numerous bones, forming mounds of bones one after another.
