Big waves wash the sand

Lin Qi didn't go back to Taixuan directly, but went to the southern border.

In the past 14 years, the Great Luotian has been raging with war, but the southern border has been peaceful day after day, without even touching the sparks.

Lin Qi went directly to the palace, this time the big devil Deluo didn't keep him out - the little devil came back.

The little devil king and Lingquan went to the west to check the origin of Kaye, and it took ten or eight years to check, and he only came back in the last two years.

Lin Qi asked the demon cultivators to lead him through the winding corridors before he saw a familiar person in the back garden.

The little demon king Diao Erlang was sitting on the stone bench, and there was a person sitting on each side of him. On the right was an acquaintance, Lingquan, and on the left... Lin Qi guessed, it should be the big demon king he had never met.

The big demon king Derob is much more majestic than the little devil king, and people can tell at a glance that he deserves to be a king. He looked at Lin Qi indifferently, and he didn't know if he was going to kneel down. Salute and shout long live again and again.

Deluo looked away, and the coercion that had been lingering on Lin Qi's body since he stepped here slowly dissipated.

The three in front of him were all great immortals who should not be messed with, no matter how much Lin Qi was outside, he would not be able to speak in front of them, so he had to bow to them politely: "Master, master."

The corners of De Luo's eyes trembled imperceptibly, as if pleased by the "Master".

The little devil—Mingxi looked at him with a smile, and pointed to the only remaining seat beside him: "Sit down and talk. I know you have a lot of questions to ask, don't worry."

"There is no ascension in this world."

Ming Xi took the lead in throwing out a thunderbolt. Although Lin Qi had already guessed, he only stayed at the guessing stage, unable and unwilling to admit it.

How many years since the rise of immortality, the theory of ascension has been passed on for many years. The way of outer alchemy cannot become a fairy, so there is way of inner alchemy. The way of inner alchemy is really accepted by people because of Mingxi's ascension.

But tell him now that all this is really just the imagination of modern people?

"People nowadays think that there is a heaven above the human world. After attaining the Tao, they can ascend to the upper realm and become a god in the sky from then on." Mingxi laughed, "How can there be such a good thing? Humans are human, you can You can know and understand the Dao through practice, but you can’t exist beyond the Dao, people are part of the Dao.”

Do not seek the Tao from outside, and see your nature clearly. Cultivating the Tao is actually cultivating yourself.

At the time of the Great Demon King, there was no such thing as immortals, and there was only one purpose of cultivating the Tao, to seek longevity.In their view, immortality is attainment.

"I only wanted to understand this truth after I saw the void back then. But at that time, Houxiandao generally believed in the theory of ascension, so it was not easy for me to go out and pour cold water. Moreover, I also felt that something was needed to restrain them."

In ancient times, the Heavenly Dao and the Heavenly Demons were born together, and no one could control the other, so there was no catastrophe to speak of. The Heavenly Demons ruled the world, and everyone was relatively unscrupulous. destroy.

Power is the culprit of all disputes. When power is unlimited, human greed can easily be magnified, leading to an irreversible situation.

In this world, there is the theory of ascension that regulates the power of practitioners so that they will not abuse and bully others. This is the reason why ordinary people are not allowed to use power.

The more they want to become immortals, the more they have to weigh up whether it's worth it or not before making a move.

"But you took a long time to go."

"Ha, actually, I didn't intend to leave. That old man Zhao Qing is so unprofessional, he foolishly created the four realms and nine stages, which caused me to practice foolishly as well, only to find out that it was unnecessary. I'm in the Tao, why bother to ask? I The reason for leaving is... do you know why Taixuan Mountain is a dead mountain? Death is one aspect, the main reason is..."

Mingxi put his hands on De Luo's shoulders: "It's mainly your master, my father, who was turned into a stone after the defeat of the army, buried under the palace, and slept all the way to Taixuancheng Mountain, eating all the essence of the world in his stomach I went. Didn’t Jiangyu make a death row, and turned this great god out of the soil. When I was passing by, I saw that this stone was a bit handsome, so I picked it up. Then it was your master who was slow I'm about to wake up—probably at the time of your sword test meeting—Lingquan is about to leave the customs, I was afraid that they would fight, so I took your master and ran away first."

Lin Qi looked at Lingquan, then at Deluo, not quite understanding: "Why did they fight? Oh yes, Uncle Quan—bah, what's the relationship between Second Master and you?"

"This is amazing, the commander of the rebel army back then." Ming Xi said, "Your master was dragged off the throne by his own hands."

Lin Qi: "..."

Lingquan is the commander of the rebel army, Deluo is the great devil king, and Mingxi is the legendary prince who cheated on his father.

And the three of them are sitting together happily now? !

Obediently, this relationship!

"Wait, I don't understand much, so I was really rebelled?"

"Yes, and no." Mingxi looked at the two people around him, and finally sighed, "Your master wanted to change the status quo in his tenure at the time. At the beginning, he wanted to carry out reforms, but later found that the nobles were too Fuck it, it was half-pushed and half-revolutionized."

Lingquan suddenly turned his head and looked at the Great Demon King in amazement.

De Luo couldn't bear to give him even a little peripheral vision, and looked at Ming Xi with a cold face: "Have you finished?"

"No," Mingxi said with a smile at Chonglingquan, "so you have always felt sorry for me, but you don't need to. You have been in my father's eyes since you were a child, and you think you are a plastic talent to overthrow his regime, so he put you His dear silly son is placed by your side..."

In Jiangyu's version back then, His Royal Highness conspired with foreign enemies to trap the Great Demon King, and finally the dog-eat-dog army was annihilated.

Lin Qi's version here is that the Great Demon King offended a group of nobles in order to reform, and was attacked by the Allied Army.

Ming Xi said bitterly: "Poor that silly son who thought he was a great hero who saved the world, and worked so hard every day to steal the classics of practice, but it turned out that it was all designed by others."

Delo: "..."

Mingxi sighed: "But put me in the rebel army, no matter whether you win or lose, there will always be a shelter in the end, but the bad thing is that the rebel army is so fucking stupid, the nobles use them as gunmen, and they still I think it’s good for the nobles to help them fight against the regime, but I don’t know what I’m doing for it. The practice in our clan is similar to the current Inner Alchemy. There are thresholds and qualifications. Some people just can’t practice it. I can what to do?"

"There are also some who do not follow the rules and go crazy, and don't listen to what they say. The nobles will fan the flames and say that I have bad intentions, so they will punish me."

So far, the ancient past has finally revealed the tip of the iceberg.

It is true that His Royal Highness communicated with foreign enemies, but it was arranged by the Great Demon King early in the morning.

It is also true that the nobles rebelled, but it was facilitated by the Great Demon King.I'm afraid I'm still worried that they won't turn back even in my dreams at night.

The rebel army, the nobles, his son and even himself are all tools he uses to establish a new order. What is he planning?

A good king will not be a good king, but he will be the king of subjugation who will not be remembered for thousands of years. Later generations will not remember half of what he has done, and can only be reduced to a scrap of legend and myth.

To some extent, Lin Qi suspected that the master's head had been caught by the door.

Ming Xi said: "However, it's superfluous for me. If I had known that all of this was the handwriting of my old man, why would I run away? Who cares about your Nine Lords by recruiting the survivors to Taixuan Mountain."

Lin Qi: "I still have one more thing I don't want to understand. Why are these things never recorded in the history books? Why didn't the fairyland re-emerge until 1000 years ago?"

Mingxi glanced at Lingquan, he also wanted to know why.

Although they are naturally angry, many people have also become angry later on. The rebel army is basically composed of monks. It makes sense that the demon clan is not worthy of being named in the history books if they are defeated. Why didn't the rebel army stay? A trace of Yoshimitsu Kataha?

Even immortality is gone.

Lingquan was silent for a while, then raised his head and said: "There are two factions in the rebel army. One group followed me and His Highness the Crown Prince, and the other followed the nobles. They were numerous and powerful, and finally executed His Highness the Crown Prince. I will kill the one who voted. Everyone remembered it, and they were all wiped out during the war."

Mingxi: "..."

Deluo finally gave him a look. He was a little angry with Lingquan before, not because he overthrew him.

Lingquan said: "I ordered the abolition of the world of self-cultivation, and forced those who survived to take a blood oath of self-cultivation, destroy all the classics of self-cultivation, and erase that period of history. Hundreds of years later, everything about that year will be forgotten in this world." When it was clean, I felt that there was nothing to live for, so I went to practice and reincarnate myself."

"why?"

What Mingxi asked this time was why he did this.

Lingquan smiled slightly, but said nothing.

Mingxi had a naive wish in that era, wishing for world peace.But how can we achieve peace?

Lingquan couldn't figure it out, but he felt that the reason why there were fights was because people had strength.So he took their power away.

Without power, there is no struggle.

In this way, it can be regarded as world peace, right?
