"Original Ancestor Qi"?
Qi Wuhuo noticed the four ancient characters on it.
Taibai Xingjun took a sip of wine and said, "Yes, it is the direct method of Jade Purity Great Celestial Venerable. According to legend, there are several of the Twelve Saints who practice this Qi-refining method, but not many. After all, most of Jade Purity Great Celestial Venerable's disciples are innate beings. Before they were born, they had been nurtured by the essence of heaven and earth for a long time."
"As soon as one is born, the three flowers gather at the top of the head."
"This kind of practice method that is practiced during the innate Qi is actually practiced by very few people."
"Great Yuanshi Tianzun didn't care at all. After asking for permission from Great Tianpeng Zhenjun, he allowed this item to be placed in the North Pole Exorcism Courtyard, saying that anyone who has made merits for the order of heaven and earth can practice this method and transform Yuanqi into Zuqi. As for how mysterious it is? Haha, who knows about such things."
"I put in the merits of slaying demons and monsters for three to five hundred years."
“Nothing was gained.”
"I just had a good sleep."
Taibai Xingjun sighed, and it was obvious that the reason why he persuaded Qi Wuhuo not to exchange this volume of the classics was because he had suffered a loss himself and was gritting his teeth in hatred. Taibai swept his sleeves, and the many streams of light dispersed. He said: "But, I am just making a suggestion, but you have to choose carefully."
"Because you risked your life to avert this disaster, you have this affinity."
“Don’t make the wrong choice.”
"Ha, but this also requires that all the matters be reported to the heavens after the event, and then there will be merits. I will show it to you now."
The young Taoist asked, "After the incident?"
"yes."
Taibai Xingjun lowered his eyes and said calmly: "After the reward and execution."
He stretched out his hand and patted Qi Wuhuo's shoulder, saying, "It's almost time, let's go."
The biggest cause of this disaster has been killed, and the remaining evil miasma was quickly eliminated. Because Tianyou was here, the rest of the members of the Arctic Exorcism Institute arrived at Zhongzhou. Among them, there were thirty-four generals who went to the battle, and the four who died in the battle were brought back in the form of black ice condensed bodies.
"The Five Thunder Officials of the Thunder Department."
"Fire Department Fire Bell Mighty Heavenly Lord."
"Doubu Sunlight Taichi Li."
"And Nangong Youqing, the Lord of Purity."
The young Taoist saw that the armors of these warriors had broken parts. Even though they were dead, the evil spirits on their bodies still remained. They had to be sealed with a thousand-year-old black ice to prevent it from leaking out and causing harm to other people. They were the warriors of the Arctic Exorcism Institute who were responsible for several other core nodes outside Zhongzhou.
Qi Wuhuo was facing Jidu.
What they were facing were the other means originally arranged by Luohou and other star gods.
As well as other powerful people of the same level who are at a relatively high level.
The situation was settled, but they paid a price. Shangqing Siming's eyes were wide open and one of his arms was cut off. Taibai Xingjun held the wine pot and poured the immortal wine obtained from the Southern Emperor Changsheng in front of the black ice. He looked carefree and said, "Did you see it? **Demon, these may be our future destinations."
"The name of the Arctic Exorcism Institute will eventually be stained with blood."
"The enemy's, or your own."
"Si Ming, he is the disciple of Shangqing Lingbao Da Tianzun, and my junior fellow apprentice."
"You can put the title of Shangqing before your Taoist name. You are a true disciple and better than me."
"After all, he has better talent than me. He was born with the Three Flowers Gathering at the Top of the Head. He joined our sect a thousand years ago, and it took him less than seven hundred years to cultivate the Five Qis Gathering at the Origin. He is also very good at swordsmanship and killing, and entered the North Pole Exorcism Institute. This is the fourth disaster he has participated in, and this time he finally perished here."
"Come on, devil, pour them a drink."
Taibai Xingjun threw the thing in his hand to Qi Wuhuo, and said in a cold and calm tone:
"The Taoism perished in slaughter, and this is the fate of the Arctic Exorcism House."
"Whether it's the star king under the command of the Northern Emperor transformed by Xiantian, or the direct disciple of the Three Pure Ones."
"This death is inevitable."
"The teachers will not take action, not even the Great Celestial Lord Shangqing. He may draw his sword for some strange reasons, but not when the disciple chooses a path and walks upright on it, and dies on it. No matter which Great Celestial Lord, he will only watch his disciple's final journey peacefully."
“Only by understanding the weight of death can we know the weight of life.”
"The relationship between the Three Pure Ones disciples and the master is only about [teaching, imparting knowledge and resolving doubts]."
"It's a once-in-a-lifetime relationship."
"When the body dies, the relationship ends."
"So, this is also the mercy of the Heavenly Venerable."
Great True Lord Tianyou looked at his subordinates and comrades calmly, closed his eyes, and turned around. During these tens of thousands of years, he watched them step into the Arctic Exorcism Institute when they were as young as the young Taoist behind him, and eventually sent them away with his own hands. The heaviness of the five words "Arctic Exorcism Institute" became cold and majestic only after generations of fighting and blood.
He placed his palm on the ice coffin and said calmly:
"All the gods of the land come forward."
Many warriors from the Arctic Exorcist Institute had been introduced to each other before, and now they were scattered to both sides. Qi Wuhuo wanted to avoid them, but Great True Lord Tianyou looked at him and asked him to stand next to him. The General Lei next to him reached out and pressed on his shoulder, so Qi Wuhuo had expected it.
He saw Ling Miaogong, Ao Liu, and the young man in white were all there.
In addition, there is the land of Zhongzhou, the essence of the spirits in the mountains, and the wandering gods of the eight directions in heaven.
Even the local underworld city god.
All the demons, ghosts and gods in the three realms who were present when this disaster occurred came here.
When Ao Liu and Ling Miaogong saw Qi Wuhuo standing on one side, they were stunned at first, but did not show surprise. The young man in white was slightly stunned, his eyes widened, revealing an extremely unbelievable look, as if he could not believe at all that the young man who had played chess with him before was now standing among this group of gods from the Arctic Exorcism Institute who exuded murderous intent.
Lord Tianyou raised his eyes slightly, and many gods of mountains, rivers and lands, led by Lord Lingmiao and Ao Liu, bowed.
There is no direct relationship among the Heavenly Court and Earthly Officials, but only the North Pole Exorcism Court has the authority to directly monitor the Heavenly Officials, Earthly Officials, and Water Officials. They only kill but do not save. They are directly under the Northern Emperor. Tianyou Zhenjun said slowly: "This disaster depends on you. When I return to heaven, I will go to the Northern Emperor and report the truth. Those who fight to the death and those who fight hard will all be rewarded by the Northern Emperor."
"The Lord Lingmiao, Ao Liu, should have the merits of the North Pole Exorcist Court, and can enter the North Pole Ziwei Palace in the North Emperor's Central Sky, and choose various skills and spiritual treasures that the Heavenly Court has. All of them can be chosen within the merits."
Lord Lingmiao and Ao Liu both bowed in thanks.
Tianyou Zhenjun counted the names one by one, and anyone who fought hard would be given something.
Everyone was delighted.
Afterwards, most of the gods left after leaving their names.
The True Lord lowered his eyes and said calmly: "The merits have been done, and it is time to judge the crime."
When these words fell, the atmosphere that had relaxed a little before suddenly became icy cold. Ao Wulie lowered his head tightly, and felt the fear that made his body stiffen. Many warriors of the Arctic Exorcist Institute held weapons, and one of them held the judge's file and read out the reason:
"The Heavenly Court's 3,600-year-old exorcist formation was broken because of the selfishness of the Jinghe Dragon King, which caused the rain to fall unbalanced."
"Zhongzhou fell, and all creatures almost died."
"Its crime is number one."
"Do you have any additional comments?"
The general holding the file raised his eyes with an extremely cold expression. There seemed to be the sound of swords whistling in the void, and the murderous intent was so strong that it almost became tangible. Everyone was dead silent, and they had all guessed what kind of end the Dragon King in front of them would face. Ao Liu looked calm, but there was pain and regret in his eyes, which was extremely painful.
In the dead silence, the young Taoist standing beside Tianyou was silent for a long time, then stepped forward and said, "I have it!"
Many eyes turned to him, some from the Arctic Exorcism House and some from the earth gods.
Ao Liu looked at the young Taoist standing in front of him, seemingly surprised that he would stand up.
The young Taoist said, "The matter of the Dragon King Ao Liu of the Jing River has its reasons. Seven years ago, there was a disaster in Jinzhou, and the Dragon King Ao Liu led the water to rain..."
He told what Jidu Star Lord had said before. It was because Ao Liu made rain to save people that year that Jidu's revenge was brought about. He transformed himself into Yue Lianqing and went to Zhongzhou, bewitching the young Ao Wulie to make the rain unbalanced. This led to what happened later. Everything was implicated because of the rescue of people that year.
As a result, the expressions of all the gods on earth changed slightly, and the generals in the Arctic Exorcism Institute also raised their eyes.
"I was targeted because I was saving people..."
"If that's the case, it's indeed sad. He can be considered a victim as well."
"His son is just a young dragon, not to mention him. Even if he has a higher level of Taoism, he would not be able to resist the bewitching tactics from Jidu if his state of mind is not good enough. It is understandable that he made a mistake in a moment of thought."
Lord Lingmiao was silent for a moment, then he took a step forward and bowed, saying, "...Ao Liu has worked diligently for thousands of years without making a single mistake. Even if he has not made great contributions, he has worked hard. I beg Lord Tianyou to show some discretion... This will allow him to make amends for his sins."
"I am willing to give up my previous merits to atone for the minor sins committed by Ao Liu."
Another great landowner in Zhongzhou sighed with emotion and said, "I am willing to do the same."
"Ao Liu acted for the sake of the people, but was framed afterwards. This shouldn't have happened."
Many earth gods were silent for a moment. They were willing to give up their merits in exchange for a lighter punishment for Ao Liu. They had great sympathy for the old Dragon King's experience. The young Taoist with white hair remained silent and retreated back to his previous position.
Ao Liu looked at him and just cupped his hands slightly.
At this moment, the rest of the Arctic Exorcist House warriors have also drawn on the power of the Dragon-Slaying Platform, and transformed it into a weapon that is exactly the same as the Dragon-Slaying Platform in Heaven. It is obvious that the Arctic Exorcist House's punishment is not a simple killing, but it is to cut off the three souls and scrape away the seven spirits. No one knows how many demon dragons have been slain on the Dragon-Slaying Platform, and the blood, evil spirits entangled in it rise into the sky.
Tianyou said calmly: "Can you atone for your sins with merits?"
"What you mean is."
"As long as you have done good deeds before, you will not be punished if you do bad things later."
"Is that what you mean?"
"Because he saved thousands of lives before, but now he almost destroyed all the lives of the people and caused the order of heaven and earth to be unbalanced, can he be exempted from the investigation?"
"I saved one person before, and I killed one person now. Can they cancel each other out?"
The gods were silent. Lord Lingmiao sighed and said, "But, Master Zhenjun, you should also know that they are also victims."
"And He has never made any mistakes in these thousands of years, but He was simply tricked by the enemy."
Ao Liu shook his head and signaled with his eyes that Ling Miao Gong didn't need to say anything more. Ling Miao Gong opened his mouth and could only sigh helplessly, with a complicated expression, watching the old Dragon King who was injured in the previous fight stand up calmly and spread his arms, intending to let the chains of the Dragon Slaying Platform reach out and lock him. But at this moment, the chains changed and directly locked Ao Wulie who fell to the ground.
This change in the scene stunned Ao Liu and Ling Miao Gong. The former was stunned, with disbelief in his eyes, and joy that his son seemed to have finally awakened, and a moment of despair, while Ling Miao Gong's eyes were filled with complexity, and he just sighed with emotion. Ao Wulie raised his eyes slightly, he closed his eyes, and said word by word:
"Jinghe Dragon King."
"Ao Wulie."
"Be punished and die."
Ao Liu reacted in an instant, and grabbed Ao Wulie's collar with one hand, causing the chains on his body to make a murderous sound. The Dragon King's eyes were filled with sadness and despair, which shattered the relief in his eyes. He subconsciously exerted great strength and glared at his son in front of him: "You!!!"
Ao Wulie said: "Dad, you know."
He looked pale and forced a smile: "I never follow your arrangements..."
"Let me disobey you one last time this time."
"you!!!"
Ao Liu's blood boiled. He had been fighting to the death before, his body was covered in blood, and his scales were all cracked. At this moment, he suddenly let go of his son, then turned around and bowed fiercely. The unruly dragon also knelt on the ground and said, "Master Tianyou, you can check. For the past seven years, I have been the Dragon King of Jinghe River. It was my son who wanted to control Jinghe River in advance, so he went to Penglai Division to bribe Master Tianyou and change his name in the past few days!"
"True Lord, I see clearly that I am the one who should be punished."
"What are you doing, old man? I am the Dragon King of Jinghe River!"
"Don't act so hypocritical here. You are a dragon and you don't need anyone to help you!"
Many earth gods could not bear to watch, and Tianyou held the judge's order in his hand, pointing at Ao Liu and Ao Wulie. As long as he gave this order, the person being pointed at would go directly to the Dragon-Slaying Platform, and their three souls and seven spirits would be scattered cleanly. When everyone was in dead silence, Tianyou Great True Lord suddenly moved his wrist, and the order flew directly into Qi Wuhuo's palm.
"**Demon, you were previously the Five Thunder Judge here."
“This case.”
"You decide who should be beheaded."
Great True Lord Tianyou's eyes were calm and cold.
The young Taoist priest held the talisman and felt all the gazes falling on him, Ao Wulie's relaxation, Ao Liu's struggle and pleading, the gazes of the Exorcism Institute members, the gaze of the earth gods, and his past self. He stood here, standing on a high place, looking at the Dragon King who was kneeling on the ground with blood all over his body, and he thought of the young man who fell to the ground seven years ago and the real dragon that took off.
At that time, his life was in the hands of the Dragon King, and it rained to save him.
And today, His life is in His hands.
It rained in Zhongzhou, saving more than 7 million lives.
The cheerfulness when they first met and the joy for the world, the young Taoist looked at the old man's plea, and the scenes of the past flashed before his eyes. In his final memory, the fire of Jinzhou burned from his eyes to Zhongzhou. What he saw and knew along the way was all over the world. It was true that Jinzhou saved people back then, and it was also true that he had failed in his duty now.
The dead people seen along the way are real, the dead gods are also real, and the desolation of Central China is due to this dereliction of duty is also real.
The young Taoist closed his eyes and said softly, "Ji Du has died under my sword."
"I will find out what happened back then, and I will also find out who hurt you."
"I will do it even if I die on the way."
"Mr. Ao Liu, thank you very much...I'm sorry."
The young Taoist turned around, bowed and faced Tianyou Daojun, the sleeves of his Taoist robe rising and falling, and answered without hesitation:
"One is dereliction of duty and is responsible for negligence!"
"One is willful and reckless, and he is arbitrarily tampering with divine authority!"
"both."
"Kill them all!"
Both of them, beheaded...
These four words are calm, yet they carry a cold, murderous, yet upright aura.
Ling Miao Gong felt suffocated, but at the same time he felt that he had no words to say about this treatment.
Tianyou suddenly burst into laughter: "That's right! They should both be killed!"
"You are showing the deep love between father and son, and covering up for old friends."
"Then what will happen to the common people after the order of the world is turned upside down? Only you have feelings, while everyone else is heartless?! Ridiculous!"
"It's wishful thinking. You know, the Arctic Exorcist House only kills, not saves!"
"The main culprit shall be beheaded, his three souls shall be annihilated, his seven spirits shall be strangled, and he shall never be able to be reborn!"
"Those who commit the lesser crimes will be beheaded, their dragon souls will be torn out, and they will be sent to the underworld to reincarnate for a hundred lifetimes!"
The Dragon Slaying Platform was already open, filled with murderous aura and countless bloody lights. As the Dragon King who personally made the rain fall, and now the Dragon King of Jinghe River, Ao Wulie opened his eyes, stood up and took the initiative to die, but heard a chuckle beside him. The old Dragon King Ao Liu on the side looked at the young Taoist over there, but he did not have any resentment, but just sighed:
"I was blinded by the father-son relationship... You are the one who is sober..."
"However, the universe is fair, and all living things want to live. Who says that the love between father and son is wrong?"
Ao Wulie suddenly felt a pain in his neck, became speechless, and his pupils shrank.
Ao Liu suddenly revealed the body of a real dragon.
The dragon's tail just swung, knocking back Ao Wulie, whose three souls and seven spirits should have been completely scattered, and smashed him heavily against the wall.
With the long chant, many warriors of the Arctic Exorcist Institute were forced to retreat for a while, watching Ao Liu rushing towards the Dragon-Slaying Platform in disbelief.
Great True Lord Tianyou did not stop him.
Allowing this real dragon who had saved countless people to crash into the killing divine weapon with a long roar, and facing the great terror, beheaded himself on the Dragon-Slaying Platform, Ao Wulie knelt on the ground and struggled to stand up. He opened his mouth to say something, but staggered twice and just knelt on the ground, his body trembling, unable to say anything, and even seemed to have forgotten to cry.
I just crawled forward on my knees in disbelief, tears flowing uncontrollably.
Ao Liu's soul was destroyed, and his real body fell heavily to the ground. His eyes lost their light and he just stared at Qi Wuhuo. He could only murmur and sigh, "What a pity... Spring is coming."
"But I can't finish that game of chess with you."
Ao Liu.
The body dies and the soul is destroyed.
