Chapter 328: Tianyin Demon Sect Crisis
Respecting the elderly and loving the young is a traditional virtue, but monks are mysterious beings whose age cannot be determined.
Some people look old, but compared with the average age of monks, they are just kids.
Some people look young, but they may be old enough to be someone else's ancestors.
So in this situation, no monk would use respecting the elderly and loving the young as an excuse.
But it didn’t say no.
Hong Muer looked to be about fourteen years old, three years younger than Yao Mengyi. The way Jian Xin and the other two surrounded Hong Muer made it look like they were bullying a child.
And Hong Muer is a real centenarian, and is now being bullied by this group of young people.
Zhuge Moer felt a toothache, and what made Zhuge Moer's toothache even more painful was that the other two people looked at her as if it was a matter of course, waiting for her to solve the problem in front of them.
"Hey - Miss Hong, look at what you said. We just wanted to say hello to you," Zhuge Moer groaned, bent down and patted Hong Muer's shoulder, "My name is Zhuge Moer, I am the master's fifth disciple, this is the master's eldest disciple Jian Xin, and this is..."
"I'm a handyman in Tianxu Tower!" Yao Mengyi raised her hand.
She had only been the princess for a few days and was usually very low-key, rarely showing up in public, but perhaps the candidate for the saint of the Tianyin Demon Sect knew her name.
"Miss Hong, I see that you are a straightforward person, so I won't beat around the bush."
After hearing this, Hong Muer was no longer so conflicted.
She doesn't like to beat around the bush.
"Are you from the Tianyin Demon Sect planning something related to the reincarnation of immortals?"
Hong Muer suddenly felt that it was not impossible to take some detours, at least she still had the chance to play dumb.
Although Hong Muer, as a candidate for the saint, has a broken heart about rituals and music and is completely indifferent to things, she still knows what a saint should know.
If someone else had asked the same question, Hong Muer would have already considered killing the person to silence him, but now the person asking the question was Li Yanmo's apprentice, so it seemed that she would only be silenced, and the only option left was to confess and get leniency.
However, Zhuge Moer still planned to struggle.
"Didn't your master tell you?"
Zhuge Moer's eyes gleamed, and he secretly said, "As expected." But on the surface, he looked nonchalant, and even asked, "Could it be that my master knew about those things because Miss Hong confessed to him?"
Hong Muer grunted and was unable to refute for a moment.
Without giving Hong Muer a chance to think, Zhuge Moer immediately pursued, "Ms. Hong, this is not a question of tacit understanding between you and me, but a question of sincerity."
"Why do you think the master brought you in front of us and then avoided us on purpose?"
Zhuge Moer firmly believed that Li Yanmo brought Hong Muer, the candidate for the saint, to them as a hint and test for them. The answer lay with Hong Muer. It depended on whether they had the ability to dig her out.
Zhuge Moer had already betrayed Li Yan's trust for the last time, so naturally he didn't want to betray him again.
What's more, Li Yanmo was almost sticking the answer on her face. If she still couldn't solve it, Zhuge Moer would be too embarrassed to face anyone.
Faced with Zhuge Moer's continuous attacks, Hong Muer felt dizzy.
This matter must not be told to anyone.
But the problem is that Li Yanmo knows about it. Not only does he know about it, he also gave them another more reliable and practical track for the Tianyin Demon Sect in advance. Now that the Supreme Golden Pill is in her foundation-building platform, why should she doubt it?
"You won't tell anyone about this, will you?"
"Miss Hong, this is a question of sincerity," Zhuge Moer emphasized.
Hong Muer moved her mouth, and after a few seconds of silence, she scratched her hair in annoyance, "Okay, okay - in fact, this is related to the lineage of the Tianyin Demon Sect."
"In fact, the Tianyin Demon Sect is a super sect that was secretly established by the Tianmo Sect during the Great Wilderness period."
Yao Mengyi opened her mouth wide, but Jian Xin and Zhuge Moer looked calm, as if they had already known about it.
One is an interview, and the other is a strong psychological quality.
Seeing Jian Xin and Zhuge Moer's reactions, Hong Muer felt relieved.
People were not surprised at all, and it was obvious that they had known about it for a long time, so it was not considered a leak on her part.
As for Yao Mengyi...
It's normal for a handyman in Tianxu Tower not to know, and there's no need to worry about it being spread.
"As you know, Emperor Yu sent down the Dao Pillar, completely cutting off the Dao tradition of cultivation in the Great Wilderness. If one cannot adapt to the new system established by the Dao Pillar, no matter how strong one's foundation is, it will gradually disappear over time."
"Many ancient sects were destroyed in this way."
"There are also some sects that try to change the world and use the power of the Dao Pillar to transform themselves."
"But the method of stealing the sky and replacing the day requires the sacrifice of immortals—"
Zhuge Moer narrowed his eyes slightly and realized a possibility.
Yao Mengyi covered her mouth and screamed again.
“In the Great Wilderness, there was no unified cultivation system of Dao Pillars. The Dao tradition and source of a sect was a small world nurtured by an immortal.”
"The immortals open their own small worlds and absorb the inhabitants of the great world. Through these inhabitants of the great world, they spread and develop their own Taoism, and make themselves more closely integrated with the great way of the great world."
"The closer the immortal is to the Great Dao, the stronger he will be, and the stronger his disciples will be accordingly."
"During this process, the immortal's small world will be separated from the immortal. When the small world is completely integrated with the great world, the immortal will completely transcend, enter the great way, and become a true immortal. The Taoism nurtured by the immortal after transcendence will become one of the eternal and unchanging great ways of the great world, and the sect will prosper forever."
"If we can use this method to breed a second immortal, the sect's lineage will become even more powerful."
"This is the reason why a sect can be king, and the Heavenly Demon Sect is one of them. At that time, the Heavenly Demon Sect had six immortals, and it could be said to be invincible in the world."
Hong Muer grinned, but she didn't feel proud of it. She even looked distressed.
"Until the first Emperor Yu sent down the pillar of Taoism, five of the six immortals in the sect were killed. The last immortal of the Heavenly Demon Sect used the method of stealing the sky and replacing the day in order to protect the Heavenly Demon Taoism."
"Pull up the five immortals and the small world that I have nurtured, which has long been connected to the great world, and wrap it into a star using the method of the Sixth Heaven. Raise it into the sky, as far away as possible from the earth affected by the Pillar of Tao."
"Since then, the Heavenly Demon Sect has become the Heavenly Sound Demon Sect. The "Heaven" in the "Heavenly Sound" refers to the star called the Sixth Heaven."
"Based on the cultivation system set by the Dao Pillar, we mixed in the Heavenly Demon Dao from the Sixth Heaven to steal the day."
Zhuge Moer nodded, "It is indeed a good idea, but it is a stupid one."
Hong Muer was not angry, and even nodded in approval. "Although it protected the Daoist lineage, it also caused the Tianyin Demon Sect to be completely tied to the star of the sixth heaven."
"Now that the Great Thousand World is under the influence of the Dao Pillar, even if one becomes an immortal, one cannot separate from the small world like in the Great Wilderness period and truly transcend and become an immortal."
"For the sects after Dayu, it is not a troublesome matter. Their Taoism is built on the Tao Pillar. As their Taoism continues, the influence of the Tao Pillar on the universe will increase, and their Taoism will become stronger."
"But it is fatal to the sect that stole the world and replaced the day. The Taoism that stole the world and replaced the day cannot be continued by the Tao Pillar."
"If we just stick to our old ways, it's still fine..."
Hong Muer paused and sighed helplessly.
"The problem is, that star...the Sixth Heaven is falling towards the Tianyin Demon Sect."
