The fairy father

Human sacrifice?

Li Pingan's expression changed several times and he turned to look at Old Man Tianli.

The latter's eyes widened, and the previous power seemed to be frozen.

Qing Su said: "What is a human being..."

"Master, don't ask!"

Li Ping'an immediately stopped him and bowed deeply to old man Tianli:

"Senior! Please let ASEAN handle this matter on its own. My master and I are here just to get rid of the demons, so we will completely forget about this matter!"

Old Man Tianli frowned and said nothing.

Mother-in-law Linghua asked, "Ping'an, why did you suddenly say that? But what's the secret?"

Li Ping'an immediately said: "Mother-in-law, please take our master and apprentice back to the mountain now. We will not come to Xizhou Southeast again in the future."

"Don't be so afraid, ASEAN did not do this."

Old Man Tianli sighed and stared at Li Pingan:

"Ping An, you seem to know a lot of things. Come in and let me have a chat with you alone?"

Li Ping'an immediately said: "Disciple doesn't dare!"

Old Man Tianli smiled and said, "You think I will harm you?"

"Senior is upright and upright in his actions, and his moral conduct is profound. He is also an ancient hero of our human race. He follows the Suiren Emperor to fight against the heavens. How can I not be trusted by my disciples?"

Li Pingan said quickly:

"What the disciple is afraid of is the statement that the overall situation is the most important thing."

Old Man Tianli leaned back and cursed in a dumbfounded voice: "You are such a thief! I won't hurt you or touch you! The fewer people who know about this, the better! Linghua, take him with you. Come in!"

Mother-in-law Linghua stood up and said, "Come here safely, Pindao is by your side."

"yes."

Li Pingan sighed in his heart.

He knew it!

My father's great luck always brings about some strange things, and it's not necessarily a chance!

After a while, Granny Linghua closed the wooden door of the main room, and a strong golden celestial charm filled the air.

Taoist priests Qingsu, Wenrou and Zisang outside could only stare.

inside the house.

Old man Tianli was pacing back and forth with his hands behind his back, while Li Pingan stood aside with his head lowered and his fists clasped.

Mother-in-law Linghua took the initiative to ask: "Ping An, why did your expression change when you heard the word "human sacrifice"? What is a human sacrifice? This name is really disturbing. Please tell me in detail, I will not let you suffer. A little bit aggrieved."

Li Pingan was thinking rapidly in his heart.

"Disciple saw it in ancient books..."

"nonsense!"

Old Man Tianli said angrily:

"There is no such record in the ancient books of the Dongzhou people! This is something that only appeared in Nanzhou in the past one or two thousand years!

"How on earth do you know? How much do you know?

"Li Pingan, I can tell you!

"If you don't hide anything from me, I will keep you safe for the rest of your life! If you dare to deceive me, I will tear down the mountain gate of your Wanyun Sect!"

Li Ping'an sighed: "Senior is forcing me like this, and there is nothing I can do... Does senior recognize this thing?"

Li Pingan's sleeves bulged, and a scroll slowly flew out and slowly unfolded in front of Li Pingan.

A picture of heaven’s creation!

There was a golden light shining on the back of this treasure map. The old man Qi Ling revealed half of his body, bowed to the old man Tianli, and said slowly:

"I have met my fellow human Taoist, please give my old master a good deal. Fellow Taoist, please do not use your Taoist realm to bully my young master."

Old Man Tianli's old eyes were as wide as copper bells, and he turned to look at Granny Linghua.

Granny Linghua said with a smile: "It is indeed the powerful one."

"Why didn't you tell me about such a big thing earlier...!"

Old Man Tianli grinned, raised his hand and patted the back of his head, and asked again:

"Linghua, is Ping'an the first disciple of Senior Yunzhong?"

Granny Linghua said: "Yes, Ping An is Teacher Yun Zhongzi's first official disciple."

She was exaggerating.

In fact, he is half a disciple.

The pressure on Li Ping'an's head disappeared, and instead he was enveloped by a warm breath.

Old Man Tianli sighed: "No wonder Ping An knows about human sacrifice... This matter, alas, I really don't know how to express this matter."

Linghua frowned and asked, "Uncle, don't be too pretentious. What's going on with this human being?"

Old Man Tianli whispered: "The human sacrifice corresponds to the human sacrifice in Nanzhou."

"Human sacrifice?"

"This is a common custom in Southern China and has been a popular etiquette for the past one or two thousand years."

Old Man Tianli smiled bitterly:

"Human sacrifice is... peace, you name it, I really don't want to mention such a thing."

"Disciple just heard about it."

Li Pingan said:

"Probably, the mortal emperors and dignitaries of Nanzhou would kill people and animals as sacrifices in their tombs after death, or in various prayer ceremonies, or when building new temples."

"What?"

Granny Linghua stood up suddenly.

"It's just such a thing, but I didn't expect it to have spread here."

Old Man Tianli sighed:

"I'll tell you the truth, Linghua.

"About six thousand years ago, the Virgin Mother suddenly left without leaving a word.

"This matter is a secret of Nuwa Palace, you should not mention it to the outside world.

"Shortly after the departure of the Holy Mother, problems arose in Nanzhou. The originally peaceful tribes gave up on electing a common leader of the world and began to conquer each other. Soon an immortal dynasty called Daxia emerged.

“The Great Xia Immortal Dynasty is different from the sects’ Immortal Dynasty in Dongzhou.

"The Great Xia Immortal Dynasty did not practice any martial arts, but they unintentionally followed the incense to become a god. Under the gratitude of all living beings, the incense divine court appeared in the sky above Nanzhou.

"It is an empty divine court, in which are gods that do not really exist. They were all born from the worship of mortals."

Divine Court?

Li Ping'an was indeed a little shocked when he heard this.

The Xia Dynasty that he knew in the history books of his hometown became the Great Xia Dynasty in this world.

All the living beings in Nanzhou have condensed a fictional divine court in the sky above Nanzhou by relying on the principle of incense becoming a divine way?

Previously, when Li Pingan heard the word human sacrifice, he immediately thought of Dashang.

Human animals correspond to human sacrifice, and human sacrifice is an important symbol of Shang civilization;

The human sacrifices taken away here were most likely sent to Shang. Shang should be in Nanzhou, protected by the great formation set up by Nuwa Empress;

Logically speaking, there should be only two forces that can enter and exit the Juetian Formation...

ASEAN senior officials and Nuwa Palace.

These two forces cannot be provoked by Wan Yunzong.

Li Ping'an was really anxious to escape just now, for fear of being silenced by Old Man Tianli, but now it seems that Old Man Tianli was not involved in the matter of human sacrifice.

Old man Tianli sighed and talked about what happened in Nanzhou.

“The Divine Court is nothing more than a mirror, it’s nothing to worry about, and human sacrifice has nothing to do with this Divine Court.

"This divine court is indeed protecting the human race of Nanzhou, making them have good weather, and the Great Xia Immortal Dynasty has prospered in Nanzhou for thousands of years.

“During this period, there were several disputes in Nuwa’s palace.

"Some people say that this Immortal Dynasty is wrong and should be dismantled and the legacy of tribal abdication be restored.

"Some people also say that such an immortal dynasty was developed by mortals on their own. The Virgin Mother has already warned them, just let mortals reproduce on their own.

"The Holy Mother has left without a trace, and several human emperors and attendants in Nuwa Palace can only wait for the return of the Holy Mother.

"When I went to Nuwa Palace, I just listened on the sidelines and was not qualified to speak.

"Thousands of years are just a snap of a finger for these great powers, and everyone didn't take the changes in Nanzhou seriously at first.

"But who would have expected...

"Thousands of years ago, the Great Xia Immortal Dynasty was in civil strife and was replaced by merchants from the east. The land of Nanzhou changed dynasties, and the name of the new Immortal Dynasty was Great Shang.

"The merchants were unable to deal with the large number of captives obtained during the expedition to Nanzhou, so they started this human sacrifice thing. The King of Shang deceived the people of the world and said that human sacrifice was a sign of respect for heaven and earth and a comfort to the ancestors.

“Then human sacrifice became a ritual for merchants.

“They believe that when sacrificing the ancestors of heaven and earth, the more humans and animals they kill, the more respect they have for heaven and earth, and the more beneficial it is to the ancestors. Later, it developed to the point where... when building bigger houses, people also kill animals!

"Oh, who would have thought!

"The forefathers of our human race are pioneering and enterprising, and the Holy Mother has painstakingly established the Juetian Formation in order to give mortals a peaceful place to live, so that everyone is equal and will not be distinguished based on their cultivation qualifications.

“But in the end, mortals get worse.

"Royals, nobles, officials, common people, common people, slaves, human sacrifices... They divided themselves into three, six or nine levels! They also killed their own people to sacrifice to ghosts and gods!

"Cough, cough, cough, cough!"

Old Man Tianli's breath was a little sluggish.

He raised his head and took a breath, cheering up:

"Forget it, my coming here this time is not in vain! Someone is actually collecting human sacrifices here! How can we not stop such a thing!"

Li Ping'an asked: "Senior, how do Nuwa Palace and ASEAN view human sacrifice?"

Old Man Tianli smiled bitterly and said: "This is a secret, I can't tell it to a little guy like you..."

The old man from the Tiangong Wanxiang Diagram heard this and handed over his hands with a smile.

Old Man Tianli changed the subject:

"Of course, Ping An, you are not a member of the ordinary race. It doesn't hurt to tell you. Who made Senior Yun Zhongzi be so kind to my race?"

Old Man Tianli said slowly:

“Human sacrifice has now been rooted in the etiquette of the great merchants in Nanzhou.

“Tens of thousands of years ago, the Holy Mother gave us instructions not to interfere with the mortals of Southern Continent, but now we can only watch.

"This problem probably arose hundreds of years ago... after all the prisoners of war were killed, there were not enough human sacrifices.

"Human sacrifices are generally prisoners of war. After the Great Shang Immortal Dynasty pacified Nanzhou, they stationed enfeoffed merchants in various places. The tribes who were unwilling to submit to the Great Shang moved to distant places one after another, and the wars gradually decreased.

"The powerful merchants reached out to the descendants of those slaves and allowed the mortals who became slaves to reproduce, and the offspring were used as human sacrifices. However, this affected the farming work, leaving many places with insufficient food and starving to death. I don’t know how many people there are.”

Mother-in-law Linghua said angrily: "This! Why don't you stop this!"

"How to stop it? Without the Holy Mother's Order from Nuwa Palace, who can enter Nanzhou?

"Moreover, the number of mortals in Nanzhou is growing rapidly, and the fictional Divine Court is also protecting the Great Shang Immortal Dynasty."

Old Man Tianli sighed:

"This divine court has been linked to the fate of the human race. If we directly uproot the divine court above Nanzhou, Nanzhou will suffer countless casualties. But the longer it is delayed, the more mortals will die in the future.

"In order to alleviate the shortage of human sacrifices in Nanzhou, a few experts from the Nuwa Palace began to find some human sacrifices outside Nanzhou to fill the Juetian Formation.

"Only ten people in ASEAN know about this matter."

Li Ping'an sighed: "Aren't the human races inside and outside the Juetian Formation all human races? Alas, I suddenly understood."

The old man asked: "What do you understand?"

"When I first came here a year ago, I saw a large number of monsters lurking behind a village. These monsters were eyeing the village, but this village did not receive any warning from the immortals."

Li Pingan shook his head:

“Now that I think about it, I’m afraid it was arranged by Commander Ge and others.

"Monsters cannot raise human animals. Our human masters will patrol the Western Continent regularly. Where do these human animals come from? Naturally, it is a place with chaotic borders.

"The demon clan on the border regularly ransacked various villages and captured people and animals. Some of them were used as food and some as goods. They went to the Taoist couple Yuan Xian to exchange treasures. Afterwards, they changed hands layer by layer, and the mortals captured by the demon clan here were , sent to Nanzhou as human sacrifices.

"With the border of 16,000 miles southeast of Xizhou, I really don't know how many people and animals were sent to the Juetian Formation.

"The masters of Nuwa Palace who planned this matter were actually just covering their ears.

"I guess their original intention is to let the immortals on the border rescue the mortals captured by the demon clan. These mortals should have been buried in the belly of the demons, and it is better to send them to Nanzhou to be human sacrifices.

"But after this plan is actually implemented...

"Who would have thought that the immortals and monsters on the border would directly join forces to obtain the treasures from Nuwa Palace.

“Heaven’s evil can be punished by man.

"Who can punish human beings for their sins?"

The two golden immortals each remained silent.

There was a certain dullness in the room.

Old Man Tianli looked up at Li Pingan, his eyes flashed brightly, and he said firmly: "Ping..."

Granny Linghua suddenly pressed Old Tianli's arm.

She pointed at Li Pingan. Old Man Tianli frowned and saw that Li Pingan seemed to have his eyes open, but there was no look in them.

Waves of Taoist rhyme slowly swayed from around Li Ping'an.

Even though Old Man Tianli was well-informed, he couldn't help but be dumbfounded at this moment: "Can this be a breakthrough?"

"Restrain the pressure and don't disturb him. Uncle Master, take a closer look. This rhyme seems a bit unnatural."

The two golden immortals each nodded.

The breakthrough that Li Ping'an had been waiting for for three years actually came at this moment.

…

God's evil can be punished by man.

Who can punish people for their sins?

When Li Ping'an read out these twelve words, Dao's heart seemed to be squeezed hard, and there seemed to be countless stars twinkling in front of his eyes.

The body of the Tao is like earth and stone, and the soul is like a clay sculpture.

A flash of inspiration occurred.

Fine cracks appeared in his soul from top to bottom, and dust continued to fall, disappearing into nothingness.

Li Ping'an felt that he had lost his body, leaving only a disembodied shadow. A colorful fairy road appeared under his feet. The fairy road slid behind him on its own, as if he was walking forward.

Suddenly, I heard bursts of killing cries.

Li Ping'an turned his head and looked to the left, and saw the fierce collision of two 'tsunamis'.

Where is the tsunami?

Those are tens of millions of creatures, fighting each other from the sky to the earth.

The human emperor's sword, which was riding a nine-dragon chariot, pointed at the human qi-refining warriors who swept away the remnants of hundreds of tribes. The king riding on the back of the giant black and white bear roared unwillingly.

The picture scroll disappears, and the fairy light surrounds the front again.

It seemed that Li Ping'an was moving forward, and it seemed that the road was retreating.

Three scrolls appear one after another:

Shen Nong tasted herbs, Fu Xi performed Bagua, and Sui Ren drilled wood to make fire.

This seems to represent the rise of the human race?

Li Ping'an just had this thought in his heart, and the road under his feet brought a new picture.

In the extremely gorgeous Cloud Palace, the Emperor of Heaven, dressed in golden robes, sat leaning on the treasure, stroking the fire feather of a golden crow.

The endless starry sky emerged behind the Emperor of Heaven, and his soul seemed to be traveling freely through the starry sky, appreciating the secrets of the stars and comprehending the principles of heaven and earth.

Emperor Jun?

This picture flashed across again.

Next are three more pictures:

Nuwa created humans, hundreds of tribes established heaven on the top of Buzhou Mountain, and hundreds of tribes fought in chaos.

All the images are arranged in reverse order of the occurrence of these events.

Li Pingan took the initiative to take half a step forward and saw another picture.

A blue dragon stretching for hundreds of thousands of miles entrenched itself from the sky. Looking down, a huge fire phoenix crawled on the ground. The two seemed to be about to start a war.

The road suddenly stopped.

Ahead is a ball of fairy aura filled with colorful rays of light. The fairy aura slowly condenses into four vertical lines of characters:

[Heaven’s evil can be punished by man;]

【Who can punish human sins? 】

[The way of humanity is flourishing, the way of heaven is declining, the heaven and earth are out of balance, and the end of the world is bound to come. 】

[Heaven and earth need laws, and living beings need restraint. 】

Li Ping'an felt the roar of thunder in his heart.

He suddenly took half a step back and said loudly: "Who is here! My way is determined and found by myself!"

The immortal energy continued to stir and condensed into four lines of large characters:

[This place is your Taoist heart. 】

[Your way is the order that your heart longs for. 】

[You are not a creature of this world, but you are a creature of this world. 】

[Face your true heart today, and you will be punished by heaven tomorrow. 】

"Ah."

Li Ping'an suddenly laughed. His phantom held his hands in front of the fairy energy and said with a smile: "But is the way of heaven here?"

There was no response from the front.

Li Pingan murmured:

"I also said that other people's cultivation is the natural way. How come I am here, and the cloud way can't be the basis for becoming an immortal? Apparently so many people have passed it."

"When did you set your sights on me?

"What's so special about me that I can be targeted by you?"

"I'm just an ordinary Qi practitioner. I just aspire to become an immortal and a Taoist. I don't have any great ambitions to help the world, so I ask Heaven to hire someone else."

The fairy light surrounds again:

[I am not spiritual, I am just your true heart. 】

[The Way of Heaven was born in the middle of ancient times. It is order, life and death, and reality. The concept of the Way of Heaven is only what you feel. The real Way of Heaven is actually the will of order generated by the resonance of the three thousand avenues, heaven and earth, and all spirits. It is not Simple spirituality can be included. 】

[I am just your Taoist heart. Ever since you faced Yun Zhongzi, your Taoist heart has been thinking about me like this. 】

[Your bottleneck is just that you are avoiding your own path. 】

"I'm sorry, I'm not schizophrenic, my Taoist heart is unique, and I wouldn't say such words to me."

Li Ping'an shook his head and bowed to the fairy cloud in front of him.

It’s not strange to have many days of rituals.

"Whether what you say is true or false, I can't make a decision at this moment.

"Today I have condensed my soul. From now on, I will use this soul to continue to comprehend the three thousand avenues."

After saying that, Li Pingan turned around, turned his back to Xianguang, and took a deep breath.

The star path formed by the fairy light was no longer under his feet. The surroundings were dark, but there was a faint outline of a door in front of him.

Li Pingan murmured:

"When I can tell whether this is Heaven trying to revive in my body, or whether I really want to build a new order, I will come back here.

“But now, I can’t grasp it, I can’t control it, I can’t even discern it.

“Therefore, I cannot do this.

"Today I have formed the soul. If Yun's way is not enough, I can make up for it with other ways. Becoming an immortal is just a matter of sublimation of the realm of life. Three thousand ways can lead to the attainment of Da Luo Jinxian.

“Therefore, all paths can be my path.

"Even though rejecting you will make it more difficult for me than other Qi refiners, this is a path that I can control myself, rather than... being constantly tempted here by an external will claiming to be my Taoist heart.

“If the words are offensive, please forgive me.

"It is not my wish to be responsible for the punishment of heaven, but I hope that I will always be free and happy."

After saying that, Li Pingan lightly swept his sleeves and took a step forward with firm eyes.

In the main house.

Li Pingan opened his eyes, a golden light flashed in his eyes, and his aura slowly rose.

A blue cloud slowly rose from behind him, and then enveloped him.

The soul is complete.

Since then!

Step on the bridge between heaven and earth and look into the realm of immortals!

The two human golden immortals in front of him had brilliant eyes.
