old grace

Xie Qinghe found several yamen one after another, searched a lot of files and texts, but did not find the headless corpse again.

Based on his inspection of the scene, he guessed that the two yamen near the Tianmen in front were attacked one after another, which alarmed the immortals on duty in the next few yamen. Where, whether to fight or take refuge, Xie Qinghe doesn't know for the time being.

Relying on the dossiers and texts collected by several yamen, he made speculations, comparisons, and grammatical structure analysis, and gradually became able to understand some documents.

The letters of the immortals are boring.

The original is basically a record of wind, rain, misfortunes and blessings in the lower world. For example, how many times the wind blows in a certain place on a certain day, month and day.Transfer to record.

The fairy in charge of the first-hand information clicked a stamp, handed it over to the second-level supervisor and clicked again, and turned all the way up densely.

In the end, it was submitted to the head of the yamen, and I didn't bother to write the words. I took a stamp and stamped it with "read", and then stamped "transfer".

Usually there is little communication between different yamen, unless something unreasonable happens.For example, the department in charge of blowing the wind found that there was a demon wind passing by, recorded it, and handed it over to the "Yousi for detailed investigation". May write risk warning.

The yamen in charge of the windy yamen has also received many letters from the brothers yamen. For example, on a certain day, in a certain place, there was a sudden strong wind for half an hour. One of the court officials who participated in the celebration was scratched to death.Jishen Yamen was very angry, and sent a letter to Fengfeng Yamen, what happened to you?Is it okay to come here to blow your numbness?Without a reasonable explanation, your yamen is dead!According to the female youth law, labor and management will sue you to sign the book!

Then, the windy yamen stepped on the letter a few times and put it at the bottom of the box until it was dug out by Xie Qinghe.

"It's no different from the ordinary world." Xie Qinghe became more and more bored the more he looked at it.

This is too far from the fairy he yearns for.

The so-called gods here are more like "people" who are higher than mortals. Mortals raise livestock, and immortals raise mortals.

Ordinary people build shelters for livestock, provide food for livestock, and protect the safety of livestock.If the animals are disobedient and run around, they will use violence to make the animals submit to fear and even imprison them from time to time. If the cats and dogs are not pleasing to their liking, they will not be pleased, and they will not be given water to make them submit...

The gods in the Tiangong play the same role.They control all the misfortunes of life and death in the world. The emperor here disrespected the sky and punished him for three years of no rain, three years of heavy rain, and three years of strong winds. The local government obeyed the teachings and respected the heavenly patriarch, and rewarded him with 12 years of good weather, which made his country strong and devoured and killed the evil Wanghua who disrespected the heavens.

Treating mortals so unscrupulously, and intriguing and dissatisfied with his brother Yamen, who are also immortals, cannot be called the hometown of virtue.

It has nothing to do with Xie Qinghe's imagination of being happy and happy accompanied by light, wind and moon, poetry and wine.

Lao Tzu said, I have three treasures, keep and protect them.The first is compassion, the second is frugality, and the third is not daring to be the first in the world.

The magnificence and luxury of Tiangong Yunque has nothing to do with frugality. Xie Qinghe originally thought that gods can turn stones into gold with the means of gods. There is not much difference between gods building palaces with gold and jade and stubborn stones. It cannot be said that all gods here have no virtue. .When he learned the immortal characters and understood the correspondence of various yamen, he completely lost respect for this piece of heaven.

Immortals here are not kind to the people, not frugal to themselves, and they don't have any humble thoughts.

Towering heavenly palace, domineering rewards and punishments, tossing and turning only one word, Quan.

I am strong, I am expensive, and I am high above the clouds.With power in hand, hundreds of millions of living beings are straw dogs.

After looking through several empty yamen file rooms, Xie Qinghe turned his gaze to Yun Tianque in the distance.

It is the tallest, largest, and most magnificent building in the entire Tiangong. The Tianmen is originally above the clouds, and the Tiangong is surrounded by auspicious clouds. It's just... like a trap.

Xie Qinghe did not take it lightly.

He always remembered that he only had two strands of souls going to the sky, and he didn't have a skin to protect him, so he might not have a chance of winning in a real fight.

——The gate of heaven has been closed, and there is no way to go down to earth. This is a dead end.

The entire Tiangong was empty, and Xie Qinghe had reached the time when he had to go to Tianzhu to find out.He carefully approached the lofty Tianque, but before he could get close enough, he found the third killing field - just at the place where the ground of Tianque was connected, there was a garden where all the walls of the courtyard were broken. There are endless fairy grass and viburnum, and there is a dragon horn fairy tree and an octagonal pavilion in the corner.

In addition, there are fairy corpses lying densely on the fairy grass exuding boundless death.

The fairy corpses here have heads.

Whether they are male or female, they are all very handsome, and they wear brocade clothes and fairy clothes that are full of divine light.

Because they all have heads, Xie Qinghe can see their expressions before they die.There was anger, fear, sadness, and even some immortals expressed a little shame.Xie Qinghe turned around slowly, trying to find more clues, but only read the same emotion from the eyes of these immortals: fear.

No matter what they were thinking before they died, the only common emotion was fear.

……

Xie Qinghe can recall some scattered memories in a trance.

He remembered that he fell from the sky, and an unknown barrier appeared in the courtyard wall, stopping him... on this street.

The sword flew out of his eyes, shattering the courtyard wall.

All the fairies in the garden were exposed in front of him, his sword flew back from a distance, and a raging Milky Way suddenly appeared in the sky, and the river water poured down like mercury, flooding the entire long street.His sword flew up again, and when it flew back, none of the immortals in the garden survived.

Killed them all.

massacre.

……

Xie Qinghe's mood is not so relaxed.

If it is said that the immortals in the yamen are in charge of power and wantonly slaughtered the common people in the world, there will be no innocent person killed in a row.

So, what about this group of fairies?Ever since Xie Qinghe entered Tianmen, no one could be seen anywhere, and even corpses appeared only in the Yamen. He never understood what happened. It turned out to be very simple. The immortals were gathered together and all died in this amusement park. among.

This is a veritable fairy mound, where the immortals of Tiangong were wiped out.

In my previous life, I didn't mind punishing those who had a job or a department. Why did I slaughter the innocent Sanxian?Why didn't even a single one survive?

He didn't understand.

Back on the long street, Xie Qinghe always felt that something was wrong when he saw the dead immortals separated by the broken courtyard wall.

Unlike the previous two yamen where immortals were executed, a large number of immortals died here, none of them had their heads cut off, and no words were left on the scene.Was it not me who killed him?As soon as this thought came up, it was immediately denied by Xie Qinghe.

impossible.

He has memories of that massacre.

What made him change his approach, no longer cut off the immortal's head, and no longer left words to ridicule?

Could it be... something unexpected happened?

Xie Qinghe turned his head to look at the Tianque Immortal Steps that went all the way into the sky in the distance, and unexpectedly found a familiar sword mark.

That was his sword intent.

Walking all the way up the fairy steps, after climbing a full [-] steps, the Tiangong fairy corpse left behind has long been covered by clouds, and there is no trace of it anymore.Occasionally looking down, there are only a few high towers swaying in the clouds.

Gradually, Xie Qinghe discovered that the bright-colored fairy blood flowed down from the fairy steps, still never dried up, with a faint fragrance.

He loves cleanliness by nature, and he didn't want to get his feet even if it was the scented fairy blood, so he carefully moved two steps to the side and continued walking.

Unexpectedly, the more one goes up, the more the golden blood of the gods leaks, almost covering the entire fairy steps, and it is impossible to avoid it.Xie Qinghe had no choice but to let himself float up and fly up without touching the ground.

Not long after, he found an upside-down fairy corpse on the fairy steps.

The fairy corpse's feet were up and down, and the gorgeous cloak was turned upside down, wrapping his upper body.

The bright-colored fairy blood flowed from his body, and above the position of his corpse, the jade steps were neat and clean, and there seemed to be no chaos of killing—but there were two lines of words.

【□□Selfishness can be called heaven】

【spit】

There is only one word in the new line, and in the words Xie Qinghe understands, it has a very contemptuous and contemptuous meaning.

In the second yamen where the immortals were executed before, the sentence left by the emperor of reincarnation was "stealing the sky and harming others to enrich oneself". This is the crime that the immortals must convict.

However, above the immortal ranks, before Tianque, the words left by the Great Emperor of Reincarnation have already become [□□have selfishness].

——It's not that the immortals are guilty, but [Heavenly Dao] is guilty.In other words, the most noble immortal who represented [Heavenly Dao] was guilty.

Emperor Reincarnation believes that if you have selfishness, you are not worthy of calling yourself the Dao of Heaven.

In the beginning, the Great Emperor of Reincarnation thought it was just the people below him who were abnormal, but after the massacre in the fairy tombs in the garden, he changed his view, thinking that the Heavenly Court was bad from the very beginning, and that the upper beams were not right and the lower beams were crooked, from the height of the celestial tower to the heights of the heavens. The people in the yamen, including all the immortals in Tianmen, are bad things and should be killed.

The most terrible thing is that he thinks so, and he has the ability to do so.

Emperor Reincarnation single-handedly slaughtered Tianmen, all the way to Tianque, and the entire Tiangong died under his massacre.

Xie Qinghe was silent for a moment, then uncovered the upside-down cloak on the fairy corpse——

There was indeed a headless fairy corpse underneath.

Xie Qinghe didn't recover any relevant memories, he continued to walk forward in silence, and finally stepped into the Yuntai, level with the lofty Tianque Palace.The palace is surrounded by fairy wind, accompanied by colorful clouds, curling cigarettes are floating in the furnace, and there are brand-new white jade and gold gems everywhere.

However, such a majestic palace has no dome.

In other words, there is no upper half of the entire Tianque palace city.There was once a terrifying sword energy roaring past, cutting down half of the city's dome.

Xie Qinghe looked at the building with all the domes cut off, and suddenly remembered the mood at that time.

anger.

disgust.

It is necessary to divide and then quickly.

There are many unacceptable things in this world, and it takes a lot of time to endure and convince myself to endure, however, there are always times when I can't bear it.When he finally reached the Heavenly Court from the distance of Jiuyou, when he saw the majestic Heavenly Tower above the vast sky, he made that sword.

If you don't like it, I will take care of it!

If you don't like it, I will cut it off!

I don't think you are worthy of heaven, so you will die for me!Let me change a piece of sky!

……

Xie Qinghe turned his head, only to see the colorful clouds around his eyes, and the pure and peaceful scenery of the Heavenly Palace above the clouds is extremely beautiful.

Changed a piece of sky, it seems nothing special.

The sun still rises in the east and sets in the west, and the seasons still change as time goes by.

Seeds planted in the soil will flower and scions will bloom, and water sprinkled on the ground will evaporate to the sky.Babies in swaddling bodies will grow up, and old people who live long enough will grow old.People are still fighting endless wars, the wise are still enslaving the fools...

The so-called gods are dead, and there are no gods for mortals to take charge of the clouds and rain, disasters and blessings on the earth, and even the birth, old age, sickness, death, eating, drinking, and scatter of all living beings... Isn't life still going on as usual?

Reminiscent of the word "stealing the sky" that was left at the beginning, Xie Qinghe felt that everything he knew before became more and more absurd.

Ordinary people always think that everything is in charge of gods, and even toilets and huts have toilet gods who are dedicated to their duties.So, before there were gods, how did people go to the toilet?No wonder the Great Emperor of Reincarnation wanted to mock the gods and gods in Xianya, scolding them [stealing the heavens and harming others to enrich themselves].

The rooster thinks that the sun is not scary when it crows. What is terrible is that the rooster can really decide not to let the sun rise today.

Xie Qinghe shook his head and sighed slightly.After confirming that there are no living immortals in Tiangong, there is a high probability that the danger of Tiangong has been ruled out. What he is now facing is the first and most important question-how should he go back.

It doesn't make any sense for him to be an "immortal" in the tomb-like heavenly palace, not to mention that both the skin and the junior are on the ground.

With no memory of his previous life, and no one to consult, Xie Qinghe could only continue to search in the Tiangong, trying to find some usable clues.He searched in the sky tower without a dome, and he could see that the [Emperor of Heaven] who lived here was very domineering. Apart from the hall for receiving the ministers and the hall for holding banquets, there was only one sleeping palace in the entire sky tower—the Emperor of Heaven lived alone. , do not let other people live.

Xie Qinghe didn't hold much hope for the Heavenly Emperor's bedroom, but accidentally discovered a magic weapon during the search.

Ascension book.

This is a book scroll that looks very thin, and when it is rolled out, the name, position, and origin of the immortal are revealed one by one.

At the top of the list is Heavenly Emperor, whose title is very long, with more than a hundred words.

When Xie Qinghe read the emperor's title, he was in a daze, thinking that the immortal characters he had just learned had made a mistake, and he fell into the tragic situation of not being able to understand the text—until the end of the long title, revealing [The Great Emperor Taboo] When waiting for the words, Xie Qinghe breathed a sigh of relief.

Looking down, it is the detailed information of the Twelve Yamen Immortal Heads, under the jurisdiction of Immortal Monarchs, Immortal Officials, and Immortal Officials.

Xie Qinghe watched patiently.

After he read all the records in the Book of Immortals, and counted the number of immortals recorded in the Book of Immortals, he finally figured out one thing.

Before that, he always felt that the Fairy Tomb in Youyuan Garden was a bit weird, but he didn't know what was so strange.

——That place is strangely inconsistent with his common sense.

Xie Qinghe believes that Tiangong is the same as the mortal world, not everyone has a job, except for the immortals who serve in the fairy house, there should be idle immortals who have achieved success in cultivation and ascended to the upper realm but are not responsible for the duties.Cultivation practice is different from court officials. There are not many monks who aim to be an official in the sky. Everyone thinks about longevity and happiness. .

However, Tiangong is different from what Xie Qinghe imagined. Every immortal who died in the fairy tomb in the garden is not a so-called "loose immortal".

They all have duties.

The headless immortal corpses who died in the two immortal yamen, all the immortals in the fairy tomb in the garden, plus the emperor who died on the immortal steps, there are a total of 880 five people.The origins, identities, and duties of each of them are recorded in detail in the Book of Immortals.

God alone.

There is one head of each of the twelve immortal yamen.

There are twelve more immortal officials under the Yashou Xianjun, who are in charge of various divisions.

Under each division's immortal officials, there are twelve immortal officials under its jurisdiction, who are responsible for all the duties in the division.

According to the records in the Book of Immortals, most of the Heavenly Emperors, Immortal Monarchs, and Immortal Officials in the Heavenly Palace came from the earliest group of monks in ancient times.

Many of them mentioned the same battle when they were promoted to chief officials of the Immortal Yam, [During the Great Wilderness War due to outstanding achievements] [During the Great Wilderness War, beating the enemy more than ten levels]...the grandiose inclusion in the fairy book, it can be seen that it is Tiangong's Li Dynasty battle.

Even the immortal officials with the largest number were probably born in ancient times.That was the period when Xie Qinghe couldn't see the history in the Hanjiang Sword Sect.

Since then, there are a few seniors and ancestors that Xie Qinghe has heard of. They are all big cows who have ascended to the sky. I don't know where they died... maybe among the densely packed corpses in the Fairy Tomb in the Garden?It could also be the fairy corpse whose head was chopped off from the beginning...

After closing the fairy book, Xie Qinghe fell into deep thought.

He was thinking about another question.

This celestial palace obviously follows a pole number rigidly, that is "twelve".

The twelve immortal monarchs under the throne of the Emperor of Heaven are in charge of twelve county yamen, and the head of the yamen is in charge of twelve divisions, and each division is assigned twelve immortal officials.Twelve hours a day and twelve months a year, the so-called weather and celestial phenomena can be connected.So, is this so-called "twelve" number randomly set?

If there are only 880 five immortals fixed in the book of immortals, can it explain the various coquettish operations of the immortals?

——Why didn't Ye Qingxu be allowed to ascend.

——Why pollute the waters of the world, plant evil lairs, and make monks all over the world embark on an endless cycle of eliminating demons.

Because they don't want any more mortal monks to ascend to the sky.

Tiangong has no place.
