I am immortal

Such a heroic appearance made everyone in the Mingzhen Taoist Alliance calm down for a while, but when the old man saw the jasper finger ring, he seemed to react, took it with both hands, and inspected its hidden patterns, and then said: "I see, I understand." He returned the jade ring to the girl in green clothes and a white fox mask with a rather polite expression.

With a smile in his eyes, the latter bowed his hands to the young Taoist and then walked away.

It's gone.

The old man still kept sighing with emotion: "How heroic, how heroic."

"However, there are quite a few practitioners who are willing to spend huge sums of money to pay for advice on a problem on the path."

"Come, little Taoist priest, come with me."

"Since this distinguished guest has made a bid for you, I will simply give you the original version of this dossier for you to read. However, there are quite a lot of them, so you may have to read them slowly."

Sure enough, there are many.

Because it is a jade book carved directly from gold and jade, it fills an entire bookshelf.

While opening the spells on the bookshelves, the old man explained: "Lingyun is stored on jade slips. Although it can save space, once encountering situations such as turbulence of the spirit, the contents inside will be damaged. , I can’t read a single word, so using this book of gold and jade and covering it with spiritual charm is a safer way. The little Taoist priest will sit down for a while, sit down for a while."

"Let me find the slip for you."

"Speaking of which, what happened in Jinzhou back then cannot be clarified with just one piece of jade. In addition to our records, we also collected many letters to support many speculations and ensure the accuracy of the information."

"Here, this is the first portion."

"The beginning of the Jinzhou incident."

The old man placed a jade book as thick as a person's waist on the table for him, and used his magic spell. The jade book slowly unfolded, with the landscape of Jinzhou outlined in extremely delicate brushstrokes. The young Taoist saw himself. His hometown is located, but in his impression, the town where his hometown is located is not small, with more than 10,000 households in it.

When I was young, I stepped on flowers in spring and fluttered at butterflies in summer.

Lying in the wheat field and sleeping in autumn.

Always lively.

But in this huge jade book that covers the entire table, there is only a slight trace.

It can be seen that Jinzhou is big, has many people, and is as prosperous as Jinzhou.

The old man sighed with emotion: "Because the mountains and rivers are so picturesque, we called it [Jin] just now. What happened to it later?"

He pointed at a place with his finger, then swept across it and said, "It was around summer time when something suddenly happened."

"About here, a blazing energy suddenly appeared, and then swept across the entire Jinzhou with unrivaled force, causing the entire Jinzhou vegetation to wither and the rivers to dry up. This was the beginning of the disaster... and then there were The infestation of the demon kingdom has torn this entire state of the human world directly into the gap between the demon kingdom."

"There are countless monsters that eat human flesh and blood and eat human souls."

"Everyone says it is a country of monsters, but they are wrong."

The old man himself was a little shocked and pointed at the records in the file:

"The demons are just like the human world, and there are many countries. At that time, there were at least three demon clans that were wreaking havoc in Jinzhou."

"Three major demon kingdoms appeared in one state and slaughtered people's lives. Wouldn't it be a loss of flesh and blood?"

"But the situation at that time was too complicated. Even our Dao Alliance didn't know which demon kingdoms appeared in Jinzhou that day. It was just such a natural disaster and the size of Jinzhou that it only took a few days to happen. Time has passed, and what we have seen is already a human tragedy.”

The old man sighed with emotion and handed Qi Wuhuo a thick stack of letter paper. The letter paper was already yellowed and stained with blood, and said:

"This is what happened where the disaster occurred."

"The center is Fucheng. It is the most prosperous place in Jinzhou and the most prosperous place in the whole world. After the accident that year, the aura of heaven and earth was in great chaos. All means of transmitting information over long distances were cut off. The sacrifice was extremely huge. It took a lot of money to deliver this letter.”

"It is stained with the blood of the most desperate people in Jinzhou back then."

"Among them are not necessarily practitioners."

"There are also grooms, dancing girls, noble men from aristocratic families, and even prisoners."

"What a pity. Even the death row prisoners spent their last drop of blood for this city before sending this letter."

Qi Wuhuo looked at the pile of letters in his hand. After untying them, he found that the contents were extremely tragic. Only the six short and direct words "please help" in the disaster in the city, and the contents of every other letter were exactly the same, just this. Six words. The old man pointed at the thick pile and spoke concisely:

"The news was extremely serious, so more than 300 teams set out, involving thousands of people."

"They are all extremely brave and intelligent people."

"In the end, only three arrived at the remaining cities."

"The rest will die."

The old man shook his head, took out the jade slip again, and said, "This is the information collected by the alliance leader later."

"It can be confirmed that the general's mansion at the border has received the letter. It can be found from the records in his mansion."

"But the border guards never received the message."

"This matter has never been reported outside."

Qi Wuhuo looked through these classics, as if he could already see the disaster that happened that year.

At that time, he was just a nine-year-old child. He blended into the crowd and was swept here and there like a fallen leaf on a turbulent current. He didn't even know where he was running or where he was going. Now these things... , using different people's perspectives, or letters, or jade slips to describe the events of that year, he could see it more completely, and he felt more and more suffocated.

Natural disasters and man-made disasters.

Chaos in the demon country.

"How could the people escape from Jinzhou back then..."

The old man seemed to have received the message and retreated. Then the man who came to the young Taoist was the middle-aged man, who was also the person responsible for all affairs of the Zhongzhou Taoist League. He came over with a jade box in his hand, and looked a little hesitant. He placed the jade box on the table, opened the seal on it, and stroked it with his hand:

"This is the heaviest news in Jinzhou. Anyone who has read this news will be shaken by it."

"Thousands of years ago, the Human Emperor at that time briefly unified the human world and made an agreement with the Heavenly Court."

"The affairs of the human world are decided by the human emperor."

"Many immortals are only responsible for maintaining order."

“The covenant has its own constraints.”

"Later, although there were various reasons, the Human Emperor fell, his swords and seals were scattered everywhere, and the human world was divided into different countries, but the land we are in is the largest The most powerful one can still be called the Human Emperor. What he practices is not the practice of breath and breath, nor the flesh and blood, but the power of luck."

"When all the layers of luck converge on one person, he is the Human Emperor, possessing great power."

"And the military formations of the human empire cultivate the power of Qi and blood, which can carry luck. When fighting in formation, they can fight to the death with the monsters."

"This is also the reason why people can stand in the human world."

Qi Wuhuo nodded, he had already made a guess about such a thing.

Since there are practitioners in the world, but the dynasty is still standing, then it will not be as simple as in my dream.

At least the element of spiritual practice must be added.

The man held the jade box in his hand, with an extremely complicated look on his face. He handed these files and the letter in them to Qi Wuhuo and said:

"Many things happened that year, but no one could clearly see the changes in the situation. It was not until later, when the dust settled, that we discovered that the disaster in Jinzhou could actually be avoided. This is the largest dynasty in the world, and it is different from many other small countries. At that time, there were already 600,000 armored Xuan troops arriving in Jinzhou."

"The leader is a famous general in the world. He has fought against the demon clan for half his life."

"Then the current emperor, who was the second prince back then, took advantage of the opportunity when his eldest brother sent his confidant's armored black army to Jinzhou to form an array to fight against the demon clan. He contacted the court and took the opportunity to knock down the original prince and enter the palace. Lord East Palace.”

"After I became the crown prince, I was worried about the aftermath and that the situation was unstable and that I might be suppressed by my brother."

"This is why I ordered the Iron Armored Xuan Army to stop and not allow them to step into Jinzhou."

"At the same time, the news was blocked. This is also the reason why those people who desperately tried to spread the news back then could no longer spread it to the outside world after reaching the General's Palace at the border. The news received by the Xuanjia Army was that the second prince imitated the prince's writing style. According to the prince, Under the seal, all the Xuanjia Army mistakenly believed that this was an order from the eldest prince."

The middle-aged man took out a letter and handed it to Qi Wuhuo: "This is the order they received back then."

Qi Wuhuo remained silent.

Open the letterhead and see the text above——

[There are a group of demons who have infiltrated the fleeing people and want to cause chaos in our country]

[Xuanjia formation, someone crossing the border]

【Kill without mercy! 】

The young Taoist looked at the last three words and was silent for a long time. Suddenly he understood why he was dragged around by the crowd for a long time before he got a chance to survive. The middle-aged man sighed and said:

"It's extremely ironic. Many people died under the crossbows of the Xuanjia Army who once defended themselves. The most ironic thing is that until the moment the crossbows were fired, these Xuanjia Army felt that they were protecting them. Home and country.”

"The matter eventually came to light."

"And because the military order comes from the eldest prince's seal, the second prince's position in the East Palace becomes more stable."

"We don't know how the key in the middle was achieved, but it was finally done, and it's vicious."

"The people of this state exchanged the opportunity to completely overthrow their brother, in exchange for the current title of Human Emperor."

"Hey...even our Mingzhen Dao Alliance would not dare to do such a deal."

Qi Wuhuo's eyes dropped. He had never met the human emperor of this country, but he had had contact with that emperor in Huang Liang's dream. It seemed extremely mysterious. It must have been his own experience in the dream. Cognition is related to the constructed world, but the character, character, and behavior style of many royal families and high-ranking officials are also extremely real.

The emperor's appearance in Huang Liang's dream appeared before his eyes.

Qi Wuhuo still had restraint, but the little peacock suddenly felt uncomfortable sleeping. There seemed to be some kind of cold and cold breath circulating. The young Taoist said: "There are black armors on the border and demons in Jinzhou. How did people come out?" ?”

"Master Taoist, sit down for a moment, this involves other things."

"I'll look for it..."

The middle-aged man went back again and picked up a lot of classics, which were piled up in front of the young Taoist. After identifying them, he breathed a sigh of relief and said: "There is indeed nothing missing. Only then can we transmit it." The formation method brought all these things out from the secret library of our Dao Alliance. Well, these are all lists, and some are incomplete methods."

Qi Wuhuo looked through it and saw a monk and a Taoist among them.

The man stood up and pointed at the names on the scroll, and replied: "Of course ordinary people are not opponents of the demon clan and can only be eaten as flesh and blood. However, there are still practitioners in the human world. Buddhism has thirteen channels. In Buddhism, in the Miaofa Tianci'en Temple, the Taoist sect also had the Ta Ge Sword Sect, and there were also countless side sects and small sects."

"After the Jinzhou Incident."

"There are more than 3,600 monks in the Buddhist Ci'en Temple. The eldest is 331 years old and the youngest is six years old."

"All will die."

"The people who finally fled were like the tide."

"Thirteen stick monks broke into the demon clan's blockade and died in a volley fired by the Xuanjia army at the border gate."

"Unwilling to give up before death, I still try to conquer the devil."

The middle-aged man took out some documents and showed them to Qi Wuhuo, saying:

"When we later went to investigate, we found that all the relics in Ci'en Temple had been exhausted. After the restoration, we found out that they smashed open the temple, took out the relics of their ancestors, ground them into powder, and then used them as their own The blood was mixed with the relics and written into Buddhist scriptures and distributed to people, so we knew that they had made the final plan."

“We saw the monk’s head transformed into a jingguan.”

"The inheritance of the Tiantai lineage of Buddhism has been cut off."

"Their law is gone, and so are their relics."

"There are no more disciples."

"So this lineage is gone."

The man took out another volume: "As for the Tage Sword Sect, they are most proud of themselves. They always only choose their disciples as teachers, not as disciples."

"Because there are very few disciples in the sect, we escorted the people along the way. Therefore, more than 600 sword immortals were defeated."

"The roads are littered with broken swords."

"Later, a cavalry army disobeyed the military order and seemed unable to bear it. Then a hole was opened in the blockade. The founder of Daozong Kusi came out and tore open the formation with a sword, so that the people could enter Zhongzhou and let the people of Jinzhou To survive this disaster."

"It is said that the founder of the Dao Sect also broke his practice because of this, and that army of cavalry was finally thrown into Jinzhou to fight against the demon clan for disobeying military orders. In the end, they all died, leaving only twenty-seven people alive."

"This is what the leader saw when he led the Dao Alliance members into it."

"We don't have the determination of sword cultivators, nor the awareness of Buddhists, so we can only watch those sword cultivators dismantle their soldiers, and watch all the Buddhist disciples die. We can only do business with the demon clan and spend one hundred and fifty The annual profits saved the lives of 150,000 people, and we also recorded what happened that year.”

"The Immortal Way cherishes life, but it cannot protect life without killing; Buddhism is compassionate without anger, so how can it stop the evil of killing and prove compassion."

"That's right."

"One hundred and fifty years of profit, in exchange for 150,000 lives."

The man crossed his hands and said, "The alliance leader said it's a big profit."

"After 150,000 people, there will be those who can embark on spiritual practice. In this way, they can [form good relationships]."

"We, too, are human beings. Things harm others, and we cannot bear to see them die. This is [asking for peace of mind]."

"There are many cunning people in the alliance, so this can [correct my bones]."

"Everyone stood back and watched, but I headed west alone, so that I could [promote my name]."

Qi Wuhuo said: "The leader of your alliance..."

The man replied: "When I entered Jinzhou, I investigated the truth and found out that there was a [man in black and red dragon clothing attracting demons]. When he returned, he was ambushed and severely wounded. After the army was disbanded in June, he died. At the time of his death, Talk about big profits, big profits.”

"Businessmen also have their own business, and practitioners have their own morality. Don't forget that we are seekers of the Tao, not profit seekers."

"It's a Taoist alliance, not a business alliance."

"This can correct my way!"

"Let the world know that my words [Mingzhen Taoist Alliance] are absolutely true."

"That's what happened back then..."

The young Taoist looked through all the records and books and made inferences in his mind for a long time. His voice was unconsciously hoarse and depressed, and he said:

"Jinzhou, how many people died?"

The man said: "...the Taoist Alliance concluded that 3.7 million is more than 3.7 million and 5.4 million is less than 5.4 million."

Qi Wuhuo swayed.

After all, he was just a young man, and this number was like a heavy hammer, making him feel slightly dizzy.

Look at the subsequent chronology.

"Three years later, the prince ascended the throne and was awarded the "Dengchi Deyin"

"The name is the Great Sage, the Great Merciful, Benevolent, Virtuous and Filial Emperor."

"Called Human Emperor."

"Praise to the Holy Ming."

The young man pressed his palms on the table, and his own soul, vitality, and essence unconsciously accelerated and gathered faintly. The many emotions of anger and murderous intent were like a rolling torrent under the blue waves, surging, but not exposed. The man said: "Only Taoist friends know about this matter. Please don't spread it to outsiders. After all, it is considered information. I don't know the honorific name of Taoist friends yet."

The young Taoist read out his Taoist name and also wrote it down, saying:

"Pindao knows about this matter."

But the middle-aged Taoist priest couldn't understand the Taoist name.

Even if I write it down, my eyes won’t recognize it.

But after confirming that Qi Wuhuo's energy was present above him, he felt relieved. When the young man stood up, he suddenly asked:

"One of the cavalrymen who participated in the Battle of Jinzhou is still in Zhongzhou."

"Taoist Priest, do you want to see him?"
