Chapter 291 The Five Emperors Gather and the Qilin Appears
When Shanyin opened her mouth, her consciousness began to revive in her body. Huanxitian's power, which was receding like the tide, was like being caught by the tail, which immediately delayed him for a moment.
Mother Zhou cast the fishing rod in her hand, and an invisible line of space between the two was drawn along the bamboo pole of Mother Zhou to the twenty-four levels of paradise.
The Paradise seemed to feel the threat as well. The sky was shaking, and the entire giant lotus was dancing slowly, like a lotus swaying on the river.
But this lotus was too huge. Even though it was thousands of miles away, the shaking space ripples were transmitted here and pulled Zhou's mother and Zhou Tieyi over. This was a huge force that Zhou's mother could not withstand, but even so, she did not let go because reinforcements had arrived.
This back and forth had already wasted two or three breaths of time.
An old and strong hand suddenly reached out and grabbed the jade-green bamboo pole in Zhou's mother's hand. Then the Daming Palace Master laughed happily but coldly, "This fish is really big!"
The Lord of Daming Palace reached out and grabbed the fishing rod, and Zhou Tieyi felt that the space he was in was like having a firm anchor.
If before, when the mother grabbed the fishing rod, the space she was in was like a two-person boat fishing for sharks, when the Lord of Daming Palace grabbed the fishing rod, the small boat was immediately replaced by a ship. Even though the shark was still pulling the fishing rod and shaking the fishing line, the ship did not move at all, but instead gave an opposite force.
At the top of the twenty-four lotus flowers, the gigantic Buddha statue that merged with the entire space suddenly spoke.
"Nirvana is like me."
Huan Xitian sat on the half-tilted lotus platform. When he heard the voice of "Nirvana like me", the shock, distortion, anger and other emotions on his face suddenly disappeared. He put his palms together and sighed, "Nirvana like me, in the next life, I will attain the supreme enlightenment."
After saying this, glazed Buddha light poured down from the highest point of the lotus, and it was so bright that glazed light bloomed from Huan Xi Tian's ugly face, which looked like sulfuric acid had been splashed on it, and burned from the bones outwards, exactly the same as when he had just been burned by the radiance of the sun and the moon of the Great Xia Saint.
The two merged into one, and suddenly a blazing Buddha flame rose up, burning the entire sky. Thousands of miles away, Buddha flames also rose from the body of Shanyin, the divine fetus, and burned up in an instant.
In the twenty-fourth heaven, a lotus petal fell off and the Buddha's light burned, instantly burning all the useful information in it. Even if the Lord of Daming Palace pulled it hard, he could only pull over a dry "lotus petal".
Without the restraint of the lotus petals, the twenty-four heavens were completely cut off from each other and disappeared into the void.
The battle subsided, and Zhou Tieyi, Zhou's mother, and the Lord of Daming Palace fell back into the cabin space.
Zhou Tieyi looked at the Daming Palace Master, "Is he dead?"
The Daming Palace Master held the dried 'lotus petals' in his hand, pondered for a few breaths, looked at Zhou Tieyi and smiled, "What do you think?"
Zhou Tieyi thought about it seriously.
He shook his head and sighed, "It goes on and on."
Buddhism talks about reincarnation, Shintoism talks about return.
Even if the body and soul are destroyed, as long as the name is left, there is still a chance of revival.
Although I haven't figured out all the clues yet, one thing is certain.
The other party practices both Shintoism and Buddhism, which is similar to me!
The Lord of Daming Palace snorted coldly, "This is why I hate bald donkeys. They are not easy to kill!"
Zhou Tieyi looked eagerly at the dried 'lotus petal' in the hand of the Daming Palace Master, "Grandmaster, I just used up the calligraphy given by the emperor, and now I have nothing to save my life."
According to Zhou Tieyi's original plan, he expected to catch some wild third-rank cultivators, and he never thought that he would consume the calligraphy.
Because through Guan Guan, Zhou Tieyi has actually confirmed that the real high-ranking Shinto leaders, that is, the direct descendants of the Nine Ancient Gods, are already preparing to cause trouble in the Soldiers' Tomb.
So before the soldiers' tomb was opened, Zhou Tieyi guessed that the possibility of them attacking him was very small.
After all, he was the one who opened the Soldiers' Tomb. If something went wrong, Da Xia might temporarily give up opening the Soldiers' Tomb. This was contrary to what Guan Guan said about the evil gods planning to cause trouble in the Soldiers' Tomb.
And measure the value between your current self and the soldier's grave.
The choice made by Shinto is obvious.
So I analyzed at that time that even if the Dark Tower put up its own bounty, the probability of a wild third-grade group taking over was greater.
The second rank can be regarded as the real core, and even a leader among the hundreds of schools of thought. Every move they make affects the entire body. At their point, ordinary treasures are no longer useful.
What is more important is the 'Tao'. Only a clear path forward, a path that can compete for the luck of the world, can help them cross the boundary from the second grade to the first grade.
This thing is difficult to give even in the Realm of Illusion. If they could give it out at will to help doctors, historians and other schools to break through, Da Xia would not be in charge of the world now, and there would not be only nine schools in the upper nine classes.
On the contrary, in the stage from third grade to second grade, some treasures can at least help them shorten the time of practice, or greatly enhance their own strength, especially those sects among the Hundred Schools of Thought that can only practice to the third grade. Therefore, in Zhou Tieyi's estimation, they have the highest probability of taking action.
But the actual result was that Buddhism took action.
Or is it Buddhism?
Zhou Tieyi sighed in his heart.
Compared with other schools, Buddhism and Taoism, as the vanguards of killing gods in the past, are more likely to combine with Shinto.
Since Taoism has the Tianyi Daomai, a Taoist school that attempts to use talismans to control gods.
The emergence of the so-called Western Paradise in Buddhism is even more natural.
Now it seems that not only has Buddhism appeared in Buddhism, but it is also very deeply hidden. At least even if Daxia knew about it, it had not made it public, and even I had never heard any news about it before.
Is this a fear of making the current situation more chaotic?
Zhou Tieyi thought of how the Confucian saint had sacrificed himself to suppress the entire Central Plains for five hundred years, preventing the people of the Central Plains from practicing Shintoism, and continued to suppress them until the Holy Emperor was born.
Now it seems that the wisdom of the Confucian sage should not be underestimated. Perhaps he had realized at the beginning that there was a possibility that Buddhism would shift to Shintoism.
This is also consistent with my historical experience in my previous life.
Even in the world of the previous life where true practice was not possible.
Sakyamuni's method of self-cultivation has evolved into the method of worshipping with incense and burning candles.
If Sakyamuni were alive, he would not know how to face his disciples.
Buddhism also transformed into Buddhism.
In this world, where spiritual practice is practiced and manifested, the integration of Buddhism and Shintoism is even more natural.
Even the Confucian Sage and the Holy Emperor have been suppressing this fusion for thousands of years, which is truly amazing.
The Lord of Daming Palace held the dried 'lotus petals' in his hand, looked at Zhou Tieyi's eager eyes, and smiled slightly.
To their level, this 'lotus petal' not only represents a treasure, but also a huge involvement. However, since this little guy wants it, it means that he is ready to accept the involvement.
The Lord of Daming Palace placed the lotus petal in Zhou Tieyi's palm.
Inside the cabin, Gu Yingtian discovered something was wrong when Huanxitian arrived, but he was stopped by another group of people from a distance. However, because the other party wanted to hide their identities, they only stopped Gu Yingtian from a distance for dozens of breaths.
After Gu Yingtian broke free from his restraints, the battle on Zhou Tieyi's side was completely over.
He rushed into Zhou Tieyi's room with his men.
Everything here was intact, but Gu Yingtian could easily sense that a great battle had taken place here, the details of which he could hardly discern.
Zhou Tieyi's clothes were disheveled, the lustful blush on his face had not faded, and a faint fragrance emanated from his whole body.
When the fragrance reached the noses of several people, it made everyone present feel distracted and want to have sex with Zhou Tieyi.
This is definitely a very serious matter!
Just as Gu Yingtian was about to ask, Zhou Tieyi picked up the paper in his hand with difficulty, "Mr. Gu, I was just assassinated. Fortunately, the four words bestowed by the emperor helped me escape safely and hold on until you came to rescue me. Now please send me back to the Zhou Mansion for treatment."
Gu Yingtian looked at the four characters in Zhou Tieyi's hand. Although the four characters "No Taboos" were still on the paper, they had lost all their charm and had turned into ordinary paper again. He had indeed encountered an assassin, and he was not an ordinary person.
The only doubt is that the other party knew that Zhou Tieyi had the four words bestowed by the emperor, so he should have made corresponding plans before.
The simplest way is to prevent Zhou Tieyi from having the opportunity to come up with four words.
After all, no matter how powerful these four words are, they need to be used.
Thinking of this method, Gu Yingtian quickly searched the room, "Where is the dancer?"
Zhou Tieyi suppressed his lust and gritted his teeth, "It's her! I will investigate this matter thoroughly! Please, Mr. Gu, send me back to the Zhou Mansion first!"
Zhou Tieyi urged again, the scent of lust on his body becoming stronger and stronger. Gu Yingtian knew that this matter could not be delayed any longer, something really went wrong. If he delayed any further, the Zhou family would most likely suspect that he was the one who secretly attacked.
So he reached out and grabbed Zhou Tieyi, and the next moment, the world in front of Zhou Tieyi turned into a series of criss-crossing lines.
The whole world was like a huge grid-like chessboard. Gu Yingtian pulled Zhou Tieyi and jumped from one line to another, moving hundreds of miles in a short time.
This is very different from the method that Su Xibi used to take Zhou Tieyi through time and space.
After dozens of breaths, Gu Yingtian had brought Zhou Tieyi back to the Zhou Mansion.
After returning to the Zhou Mansion, Zhou Tieyi went straight to the Wangyue Tower where Miaoyu was.
"Senior sister, save me!"
In the Moon-Watching Tower, Miaoyu, who was practicing diligently, opened her eyes immediately upon hearing the roar and jumped down from the second-floor window.
When she saw Zhou Tieyi in dishevel and sensed the fierce lustful power around him, she became flustered.
"Didn't you go swimming in the Luo River? How did you end up like this?"
Zhou Tieyi's body felt hot, and he fell forward as if he was weak and powerless. The strong scent of lust on his body almost took on substance, transforming into a light pink flame that began to burn with qi and blood as nourishment.
Miaoyu didn't care about anything else and quickly reached out to catch Zhou Tieyi. His hot body with the fragrance of lust made her feel slightly hot, as if she was embracing a ball of fire.
"Senior Sister, I regret not listening to you. That dancer hurt me!"
At this time, Gu Yingtian, who was accompanying Zhou Tieyi back, looked at the pure and innocent Miaoyu, and guessed why Zhou Tieyi ran here, so he said to Miaoyu, "Master Zhou is now poisoned by love, Taoist priest, do you have a way to save him?"
Miaoyu gritted her teeth and said, "I'll try. Please inform my uncle Zhou Yulong. If my method of rescue is ineffective, please be prepared and find another way."
After saying that, Miaoyu helped Zhou Tieyi into the Wangyue Tower. When closing the door, she did not forget to paste a talisman to cut off the connection between the inside and outside of the Wangyue Tower.
In the Moon-Watching Tower, Zhou Tieyi had been blinded by lust and was in a state of semi-consciousness. Miaoyu sighed, unbuttoned her apricot-yellow Taoist robe that seemed to never change, revealing her fair skin, and then gently unbuttoned Zhou Tieyi's already messy clothes.
Suddenly Zhou Tieyi found strength from nowhere, and rushed forward in a bear hug, knocked Miaoyu to the ground, and sniffed her vigorously, muttering, "Senior Sister, you smell so good."
The power of lust was completely transmitted to Miaoyu through the contact between their skin.
For a moment, pink flames enveloped the two of them. Between them, yin and yang blended together, and four points of spiritual light emerged from Zhou Tieyi's body, evolving into the images of the Green Emperor, the Red Emperor, the Yellow Emperor, and the White Emperor respectively. A point of dark spiritual light on Miaoyu's body evolved into the image of the Black Emperor.
Yin and Yang are like furnace fire, the Five Emperors create nature, the dragon moves and the phoenix sounds wonderful, and this body sees the Great Way.
······
Although Gu Yingtian tried his best to conceal the matter, Zhou Tieyi suddenly disappeared in the Jiaolong Tower Ship. Other people from various schools of thought also saw Zhou Tieyi's abnormal expression and smelled the lustful fragrance on Zhou Tieyi's body that almost made them, as men, lose control. They could probably guess how big the problem Zhou Tieyi encountered was.
Although they did not have Gu Yingtian's ability to return to Tianjing in a few dozen breaths, they also used their own means to pass the news of Zhou Tieyi's assassination and injury back to Tianjing an hour later.
It was already late at night, but in Tianjing, the study rooms of the powerful and wealthy families had relit their elegant white jade candles and precious black stone lamps.
"Father, he is really injured?!"
Dong Xiu De, the son of Simin, had a voice that was half excited and half doubtful.
It’s not that he didn’t believe the information he had gathered from all sides, but the psychological shadow Zhou Tieyi left on him was too heavy.
How could such a scheming person fall for a dancer!
This is incredible.
If a dancer can do this, what were they fighting with Zhou Tieyi for the past few months?
If I had known it was so simple, I could have just gotten a few dozen dancing assassins!
Of course, the specific details are still unclear, but Dong Xiu De’s suspicion is based on his intuition!
On the contrary, when Simin Dong Xingshu heard the news, he seemed to be somewhat surprised. Then he said in a self-questioning way, "If the situation is like this, he must be hurt by the feelings!"
"Father?"
Dong Xiu De looked up at Dong Xing Shu in confusion. When his father said this just now, it gave him a feeling of Confucian prophecy, as if it was a prediction and also a confirmation of this matter.
Especially after listening to his father's words, the doubts in his heart dissipated unconsciously, and he seemed to feel that this matter was natural.
Dong Xingshu came back to his senses, his eyes still shining, and said, "This is true. Inform the Minister of Education Tang Anshi and ask them to take advantage of these few days to quickly change the current public opinion of Tianjing about the Huxin Academy case. At the same time, tell Tang Anshi not to stop the newspapers of the various schools of thought and let them publish their newspapers quickly. The only condition is to report the Huxin Academy case fairly. There must be no loss of fairness. Push the three schools to jointly investigate the Huxin Academy case as soon as possible."
Dong Xiu De nodded seriously. Although he didn't know how seriously Zhou Tieyi was injured, judging from the news he received, he might even have slightly lost control of his emotions. In other words, it would be difficult for Zhou Tieyi to get involved in the big and small matters in Tianjin during this period.
If they do not take advantage of this period of time to regain the right to public opinion, it will be difficult for them to completely seize the right to public opinion in Tianjing under the leadership of Zhou Tieyi.
If the various schools of thought were sensible, they would secretly favor Confucianism at this time. After all, fairness is enough.
At Si Lu's residence, another father and son were also having a conversation.
Qingkong Ming asked the same question as Dong Xiude, "Father, is this kid cheating?"
Qingkong Gui was confused for a moment. He knew less information than Dong Xingshu, but he vaguely realized that there might be many very important things behind this matter.
He thought for a moment and then said, "We'll know what Dong Xingshu does tomorrow. By the way, keep an eye on the people in Prince Ning's Mansion and see how they react. If that kid is really just pretending to be injured, they should react..."
In the next two days, the developments were beyond the expectations of Qingkong Gui, the attorney general.
Because the reactions from all parties revealed one thing, Zhou Tieyi was injured!
Really hurt!
The palace also knew about this, and the emperor even sent a trusted eunuch to visit the patient.
If Zhou Tieyi was pretending to be injured, then he would be guilty of deceiving the emperor.
After visiting the patient, the solution given by the palace was also very incredible. That is to investigate all the brothels in the world and the origin of a prostitute named Shanyin, starting from her birth. It seems that this matter is very important to Zhou Tieyi and even to the palace.
However, when the three officials went to consult the palace about the whole process, the palace was very secretive, as if this matter was of great importance, so important that the emperor was unwilling to speak openly to the three officials now.
On the second floor of Wangyue Tower, Zhou Tieyi lay lazily on the cushioned bed with his clothes half-open, revealing his muscular and slightly red chest.
It was he who insisted on having Senior Sister Miaoyu move this bed up a few days ago. Otherwise, it would have been uncomfortable lying on the floor. Senior Sister Miaoyu was too unrefined. She always pressed herself down to move, saying that this was spiritual practice and that she couldn't move around randomly.
Well, sister said that practice is practice.
Anyway, after practicing for a few days, Zhou Tieyi successfully comprehended the image of the Black Emperor. With a thought, the five-colored light behind him condensed into the complete Five Emperors.
He reached into the white jade chessboard with his other hand, took out a jade box, and directly grabbed the essence and blood in the jade box.
This drop of third-grade Qilin blood rushed left and right, but could not get out of Zhou Tieyi's palm.
Zhou Tieyi directly swallowed this drop of Qilin's blood, and the blood fell into his dantian.
The ancestral qi in the sky above the Moon-Watching Tower suddenly surged and transformed into flamboyant auspicious clouds of five colors: green, red, yellow, white and black, covering the entire tower. A moment later, a handsome auspicious beast stepped out of the clouds.
The dragon head and ox tail represent strength, and the sharp horns with flesh represent benevolence.
