Chapter 82: The Emperor Enters a Dream, and a Painting Creates the World
The Battle of Mingtiao was a decisive battle between the Xia and Shang dynasties. It was also a challenge launched by the new king to the old king. Naturally, it could not end so easily.
After paying a certain price, the Xia Dynasty's army finally stabilized its position. Facing Han Yi's provocation and provocation, they chose to sit back and watch.
no way!
If the opponent does not take the initiative to attack, the Postnatal Bagua Formation will find it difficult to display the mystery of the military formation, and it will be impossible to trap the opponent in it and strangle him with infinite changes.
Moreover, the battle lasted for such a long time, and Han Yi was still able to hold on, but the physical strength of the mortal soldiers under Cheng Tang's command had reached the limit.
If the battle continues, even with the support of the military formation, the casualties of his soldiers will increase sharply.
Han Yi thought about it and decided that in this battle, the Shang State, with the support of the military formation, won a great victory. At the cost of less than 30,000 casualties, they cut off the heads of nearly 200,000 enemies.
Of course, this was also due to the weapons and armor forged by Jiuli and the sword of power in Cheng Tang's hand, which weakened the fighting spirit of the opposing soldiers.
Cheng Tang's attack on Lugui was to use the righteous to defeat the unrighteous; this was the will of heaven.
The land of Mingtiao is boundless and has open terrain. The post-natal Bagua formation mobilizes the forces of heaven and earth to bless the military formation and win with infinite changes. This is the advantage of the terrain.
The Shang army was well-armed and armed with sharp weapons, and King Cheng Tang led the army in person with the sword of majesty, which made the Shang army's morale high. However, Lugui had now completely lost the support of the people. The difference between this increase and decrease was the harmony among the people.
With the right time, right place and right people, it is reasonable to achieve such a result.
Therefore, Han Yi was not surprised!
but……
The struggle at the cultivator level is not so smooth. The strength of several Daluo demon gods headed by Wuzhiqi is not much inferior to Xuanniao and others.
In particular, the other party has the imperial decree of Lugui and is not suppressed by the Jiuzhou barrier.
Although Xuanniao, Jinling Shengmu and others have reached the level of great supernatural powers, they are unable to exert their full strength due to the suppression of the Jiuzhou barrier.
If the Three Sisters set up the Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation, they would not be afraid of the several Daluo Demon Gods with the power of the formation. However, the deaths of the two demon gods Fangfeng and Fuzhu had already sounded the alarm for Wuzhiqi and others. They were not fools, and naturally would not seek death by going deep into the Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation.
After all, formations need to be prepared in advance, and their advantages and disadvantages are obvious.
That is……
Can't move easily!
If the opponent is unwilling to enter the formation, no matter how powerful your formation is, you will be unable to do anything to him.
When everyone returned to the business camp, Bi Xiao angrily said, "That demon god Gu Diao is so abominable! If the three of us sisters were to set up a large formation, he would definitely not be able to return!"
Upon hearing this, both the Golden Spirit Holy Mother and Zhao Gongming were silent.
The other party is not stupid?
How is it possible that knowing how powerful the Nine-Bend Yellow River Formation is, you would still go into the formation and seek your own death?
Yunxiao, on the other hand, took out the Hunyuan Golden Bowl and handed the Soul-Bewitching Pearl he had collected earlier to Qiongxiao, comforting him: "It can't be said that you have gained nothing. The demon god Gu Diao was careless and let me take his magic weapon. He will definitely not let it go. When the time comes, I will naturally have a chance to fight him again!"
"Qiong Xiao, you don't have an innate spiritual treasure to protect you, so I'll leave this Soul-Bewitching Pearl to you! Next time, I'll make them pay the price!"
Among the three gods, only Qiong Xiao does not have a protective magic treasure. It is not because Tongtian Patriarch is partial to him and has not given it to him, but when Yunxiao killed the three corpses in the past, Qiong Xiao took the initiative to give his own protective magic treasure to Yunxiao, allowing him to use it to entrust the three corpses, so as to help him enter the realm of great supernatural powers as soon as possible.
Therefore, now that Yunxiao has received the Soul-Bewitching Pearl, the first person he thinks of is Qiongxiao.
"Thank you sister!"
Qiong Xiao did not hesitate and immediately took the Bewitching Pearl from Yun Xiao's hand.
This time, the three of them were invited by Zhao Gongming to help Shang attack Xia, and they obtained a mid-grade innate spiritual treasure, which made the trip worthwhile!
However, Han Yi looked at the bewitching bead in Qiong Xiao's hand and couldn't help but frowned.
In the previous life's Battle of Mingtiao, Wuzhiqi, Gudiao and others did not participate, and Sanxiao and Jinling Shengmu also did not participate.
Can……
If Lugui had so many innate spiritual treasures in his hands, why didn't he use them in his previous life?
Something must have happened in this life, a change that I didn't expect!
It would have been fine if Wuzhiqi and others had joined in, but they also had innate spiritual treasures in their hands, such as the Cuiwei Liangyi Lantern and the Mihun Pearl, which had never appeared in the previous life.
The Golden Spirit Mother looked at the Soul-Bewitching Pearl in Qiong Xiao's hand, smiled and said, "Perhaps, we can use this innate spiritual treasure to lure out the demon god Gu Diao and defeat it one by one!"
Upon hearing this, Xuanniao immediately praised: "Fellow Daoist Jinling, this is a brilliant plan! But... it requires Fellow Daoist Qiongxiao to take a little risk!"
Zhao Gongming couldn't bear to see Qiong Xiao take risks, so he frowned and said, "Sister, this is not appropriate. Why don't I go back to Jin'ao Island and ask a few fellow disciples to help me?"
There is no shortage of masters in the Jiejiao. Taoist Duobao and Holy Mother Wudang, like Holy Mother Jinling, have both entered the realm of great supernatural powers.
There are also the seven immortal attendants, all of whom are Daluo Jinxian. Zhao Gongming believes that it will not be a problem to capture Wuzhiqi and other Daluo demon gods by just asking a few of them to take action.
only……
The more people participate, the less merit and fortune the monks who are participating in this war now will get when King Tang establishes his rule over the Nine Provinces.
Therefore, Zhao Gongming was unwilling to ask for help unless it was absolutely necessary.
However, Qiong Xiao is his sister, and he is unwilling to let her take risks.
"It doesn't matter!"
The Golden Spirit Mother looked at Qiong Xiao and said, "When the time comes, I will temporarily lend the Four Symbols Pagoda to Junior Sister Qiong Xiao for protection. I will definitely be able to ensure her safety!"
"Junior Sister Qiongxiao, what do you think?"
"If we can get rid of a Daluo demon god first, with just a few of us, even if we can't kill Wuzhiqi and the others, it will not be a problem to drive them out of the Nine Provinces and make them unable to help Lugui."
She was not lacking in merit and luck, but she was very interested in the Liangyi Cuiwei Lamp in Wuzhiqi's hand and wanted to find a way to snatch it away!
Hearing this, Qiong Xiao smiled and said, "It's just a little risk! Qiong Xiao is willing to follow Senior Sister's instructions!"
Practicing Buddhism is like climbing a mountain. If you stop moving forward when you encounter a little difficulty and dare not take any risk, how can you glimpse the mysteries of the great way?
"Well!"
The Golden Spirit Mother immediately lent the Four Elephants Pagoda to Qiong Xiao and said, "In this case, let's lure the snake out of its hole and defeat the Gu Diao and his men one by one!"
Qiong Xiao herself agreed, but Zhao Gongming didn't say much. He nodded immediately and joined the discussion on how to deal with Gu Diao and others.
...Han Yi also listened to the plan of the Golden Spirit Holy Mother and others, but with his strength, he was not qualified to participate at all. He simply found a tent and began to practice in seclusion.
Since the last time, when he used the power of merit to refine the two innate restrictions of the Kunlun Mirror, he has already gained preliminary mastery of this top-grade innate spiritual treasure. He can constantly comprehend the Taoist essence contained within it, speed up his process of refining the void and merging with the Tao, allowing him to quickly complete the accumulation of foundation at this stage.
perhaps……
Soon, he will be able to try to overcome the heavenly tribulation and advance to the realm of the celestial being where he can travel to the North Sea in the morning and Cangwu in the evening, project his image into all the worlds, and evolve into infinite incarnations!
Now, the situation is becoming more and more bizarre, and the development of events is beyond his control. He can only think of ways to improve his strength as much as possible.
Can……
This time, after Han Yi entered into meditation and practiced, he did not use the Dao essence to temper his soul as usual, but instead came to an illusory space.
"This is……"
"Dream?"
Han Yi was stunned. Of course he knew what the current situation was.
Ever since he began practicing, he has replaced sleep with meditation and practice. Especially after his rebirth, he has never had a dream again!
He himself would not allow himself to fall into this dreaming state.
Because, this is dangerous!
However, the dream now is not false, so there is only one possibility, that there is a cultivator with strength far superior to his, who forcibly uses his magical powers to pull him into the dream.
Seeing this, Han Yi quickly said, "Who are you? Please show yourself!"
He suddenly fell into a dream, and he had no idea who pulled him into the dream or what the purpose was. He could only choose to speak first and invite the other party to show up.
Is it the person who is manipulating him behind the scenes?
Or someone else?
"Hahaha!" As if hearing Han Yi's words, the owner of the dream was too embarrassed to hide any longer, and quickly revealed himself and said, "I am Fuxi, you must have heard of my name! I dragged you into the dream because of the Eight Diagrams of the Later Heaven!"
Last time, when he tried to deduce Han Yi, he ended up with Tongtian Jiaozhu, which forced Fuxi to stop in time. However, the Postnatal Bagua was related to his great Dao, so he was unwilling to give up.
Therefore, after thinking for a long time, he decided to pull Han Yi into his dream.
"Meet the Emperor!"
Knowing the identity of the person in front of him, Han Yi did not hesitate and immediately bowed to the other party.
after all……
The other party is the emperor of the human race, a powerful person second only to the saints in the prehistoric world. Judging from his bloodline, he might even be his ancestor.
You won’t suffer any loss if you worship him.
With Fuxi's level of attainment, even a few words of advice from him can benefit him for the rest of his life.
“No need to be polite!” Although Fuxi was a person with great supernatural powers, he did not put on airs. He smiled and said, “Today, I came here to discuss the Dao. I am not the Emperor of Heaven, and you are not my junior!”
As Fuxi finished speaking, Han Yi felt the scene around him change, and he instantly came to a chaotic universe.
"The Xiantian leads the Zhoutian, covering the changes of Yin and Yang Zhoutian. All things in the world are divided into Yin and Yang, and this chaos is before Yin and Yang, the Four Symbols and Eight Trigrams!"
"My dear friend, please look!"
Fuxi's voice was not loud, but every word sounded like a huge bell to Han Yi's ears, shaking his heart.
I saw his body suddenly rise billions of feet high, his feet stepping on the galaxy, and his body performing all kinds of phenomena, as if he was going to transform into the great god Pangu and perform the act of creation of the world.
but……
Pangu created the world by using the divine axe and the great way of strength.
Fuxi, on the other hand, created the world with a single stroke. He first used a diagram of the Eight Trigrams to separate the earth, water, fire and wind. He then expounded on the mystery of yin and yang, which became the foundation for constructing a world. The formation of heaven and earth, mountains, rivers, lakes, seas, sun, moon and stars were all incomparably casual, just like the strokes of a brush.
In one stroke, changes rise and fall at the peak; in one dot, there are subtle differences at the edge; in every gesture and every movement of the hand, every stroke of the brush, the mystery of the innate Bagua is fully displayed.
Anyway...
Han Yi was fascinated by the scene and was deeply immersed in it, unable to extricate himself.
Lianxuhedao!
What exactly is the truth?
Isn’t it the way of the void of heaven and earth, the endless world, all things in the universe, and all living beings in the universe!
The stronger your understanding of the Tao, the deeper your foundation for entering the realm of true immortality. Fuxi's act of creating the world with one stroke was undoubtedly to dismantle the Tao of heaven and earth bit by bit and display it in front of you. It was like an exam, in which you already knew the questions and answers in advance, and no longer had any confusion.
After a long while, Han Yi came back to his senses, bowed to Fuxi from a distance, and said: "Thank you, Emperor, for teaching me the Dharma. I am deeply grateful!"
Fuxi still had a smile on his face. He pointed at Han Yi and said, "Now, it's your turn!"
Is it my turn?
Han Yi was stunned when he heard this.
He didn't expect that Fuxi actually wanted to discuss Taoism with him!
However, the realms of the two people, one is in the world, and the other is underground, which is simply difficult to measure. If I were to perform in front of him, wouldn't that be showing off my skills in front of an expert?
Although, Lu Ban was not yet born, there was no such story as "showing off one's skills in front of a master".
Can……
Han Yi couldn't help but feel panicked.
Then, he forced himself to remain calm, and using his magical power, he sketched out a diagram of the Later Heaven Bagua in the void, and began to explain his understanding of the Later Heaven Bagua.
However, compared with Fuxi's creation of the world with one stroke, this thing is like a dwarf compared to a giant, it is much shorter and looks so clumsy and ridiculous.
