Chapter 124 Her Past◇
◎Kong Xuan's Evil Corpse◎
It is a recognized fact that Kong Shuang has a relationship with the Heavenly Dao. Everyone in the ancient times knew that Yuan Feng was inspired by fate and gave birth to Kong Que and Da Peng. It was the Heavenly Dao that inspired her. In other words, Yuan Feng changed from a male to a female and is Kong Shuang's mother, while the Heavenly Dao is equivalent to her father.
Donghuang Taiyi was the first to answer this question: "Fellow Daoist Kong Shuang does have a close relationship with the Heavenly Dao." The relationship between father and daughter could not be shallow.
Tongtian remembered that Kong Shuang once said that the peacock in the story she knew was a boy, so he gave his friend a cold look and said nothing.
He and Kong Shuang had already guessed most of Kong Shuang's true origins, but they had never had the opportunity to confirm it. He was also mentally prepared for what Hongjun was about to say!
Hongjun shook his head. "During the Conferred Gods War, there was a phoenix son, Kong Xuan, who protected the Shang Dynasty. He was eventually captured by the Western Zhunti and used as a mount, and entered the West!"
Taiyi opened his eyes wide: "Why did Fellow Daoist Kong Shuang's name change?"
He secretly complained that Kong Shuang not only changed his name, but also his gender!
Hongjun knew what he was thinking and interrupted him: "It's either Kong Shuang or Kong Xuan, the son of Yuan Feng, the first peacock since the creation of the world, born with the innate five-colored divine light!"
Taiyi couldn't help but complain in his heart, wondering if there was a twin brother inside Kong Shuang's egg.
Sure enough, the peacock and his three-legged golden crow are different. No wonder there is reproductive isolation?
Tongtian had already confirmed his guess in his heart, and he looked at Hongjun with deep eyes, waiting for him to tell the truth.
Hongjun glanced at his young disciple and was very satisfied with his reaction. He didn't beat around the bush and said, "Kong Shuang didn't have a name in the beginning. People in the prehistoric world called her the evil corpse, Kong Xuan's evil corpse!"
As expected, Tongtian felt a sense of relief in his heart, and his cold eyes became as deep as ink.
Hongjun continued, "After the fourth catastrophe, Tongtian retreated into chaos. The Western powers were powerful, and the Heavenly Dao was wary of them. They took advantage of Kong Xuan's act of beheading the corpse to seize the evil corpse's consciousness and use it for their own benefit."
Tongtian suddenly raised his eyes, clenched his fists, looked stern and murderous, and his sinister eyes flashed sharply. Just one look made people feel fear for no reason.
The Tongtian in front of him seemed completely different from the young man with a smile on his face. Hongjun's heart beat fast subconsciously because of the cold gaze of his little disciple. He calmed himself down and looked at him unhappily: "I haven't finished what I want to say yet, why are you so distressed!"
Tongtian said nothing, his expression restrained a little, but he was still staring at him.
Hongjun shook his head helplessly: "When the evil corpse encountered a threat, it subconsciously resisted and devoured the power of the Heavenly Dao. After being born, it became an independent person."
Yuanshi wondered, "How can an evil corpse be independent? Is it an alien?"
Before he finished speaking, he thought of something and quickly stopped talking, looking at Tongtian apologetically.
Fortunately, Tongtian didn't think too much of it and asked, "Same as Chang'e?"
He asked this question on behalf of Kong Shuang. After all, Kong Shuang had always felt that he was in the same situation as Chang'e since he had guessed from Chang'e that his own body, which was unable to be decapitated, might have been the result of someone beheading the three corpses.
Hongjun thought carefully about who Chang'e was, then shook his head. "Chang'e developed her own independent consciousness after birth, but Kong Shuang's was innate. She was born in a juvenile state and grew up like an ordinary creature. She did not inherit her master's magic power and memories. She was extremely weak at first, almost identical to any other prehistoric creature, except for one thing..."
When he said this, his voice gradually became low, and the look he gave Tongtian seemed to convey his guilt towards another person.
"Kong Xuan infused her with evil thoughts, and so she was entangled in the evil spirit and suffered greatly. She had no magical power and was as weak as a cub. Naturally, she was not liked by her master. And since she was full of evil spirits, she was regarded as a scoundrel by the people of the prehistoric world..."
His voice stopped abruptly. Although he didn't say those words, Tongtian knew everything in his heart.
Outlier!
Evil heretics!
An ominous person!
He seemed to be falling inch by inch in the darkness, a cold chill rising in his heart and spreading to every limb. There was nothing else in his mind but those three words, which bit by bit broke down his last line of defense.
Taiyi thought this was too unbelievable and shouted, "The West is so powerful, how can this be possible? I don't believe it!"
Hongjun did not answer.
At that time, Duobao Taoist, the first disciple of Jiejiao who was forced to join the West, somehow brainwashed Zhunti Jieyin and actually gave him the position of the leader of the sect. Duobao took this opportunity to transform a barbarian into a Buddhist.
However, in just a few thousand years, Buddhism had become on par with Eastern Taoism, and became the biggest winner after the fourth kalpa of the Buddhist-Taoist struggle.
In fact, this statement is not quite appropriate. The biggest winner in the dispute between Buddhism and Taoism should be Jiejiao, which intercepted the glimmer of hope.
After the catastrophe, Buddhism flourished, while the East declined. Haotian's position as Emperor of Heaven was replaced by Yutong, a demon princess who had deep roots in Jiejiao. Jiejiao turned defeat into victory and succeeded in revenge.
Tongtian took advantage of this opportunity to violently attack the Zixiao Palace, split the place where the prehistoric world and chaos were connected with one sword, and escaped into the chaos, and has not been heard from since.
Thinking of this, Hongjun sighed. He knew that Tongtian was already disappointed with Honghuang at that time.
The disciples in the West have many treasures, and the disciples in the East have Jade Pupil, so he has no more worries and chooses to leave!
After Tongtian left, Tiandao was very afraid of Duobao, the leader of Jiejiao, so he thought of occupying Kong Xuan's evil corpse to deal with him. However, by accident, she developed her own consciousness.
Everyone in the quiet room was silent and there was silence.
After a long time, Tongtian finally spoke. His voice, which had always been as clear as green pines and flowing water, became hoarse, old and broken.
"Teacher, what happens next?"
Hongjun couldn't bear to continue the story, but after seeing his disciple's determined eyes, he slowly spoke: "In his previous life, the Golden-Winged Dapeng Garuda became a disciple of Jiejiao and was given the title of Winged Immortal. He was one of the 3,000 Jiejiao disciples who were abducted to the West. He hated Zhunti and joined forces with the Phoenix Clan to attack her."
At this point, Hongjun felt that Kong Shuang was too unlucky: "Zunti only knew that it was the Phoenix Clan who set him up, but he didn't know who was behind it, so he asked Kong Xuan to give him an explanation..."
He paused, and finally said solemnly: "Kong Xuan had no choice but to blame the evil corpse for his brother's actions in order to protect him. The evil corpse was disliked by the prehistoric world and regarded as an evil demon. It was only natural for it to assassinate the saint!"
There was a storm in Tongtian's eyes, and he was furious. He knew how arrogant Kong Shuang was, and this would be a huge humiliation for her.
Hongjun finally smiled a little more and said to Tongtian, "Zhunti originally wanted to get rid of the evil corpse and make an example of him. Fortunately, you have taught a good disciple, and Duobao mediated and saved his life. The evil corpse was punished by being burned by heavenly thunder, and then expelled from the prehistoric world!"
"At this time, the evil corpse has been in the world for less than a hundred years, and she is unable to resist!"
She is less than a hundred years old and is actually just like a child. How could a child attack a saint? But all the creatures in the ancient world think that she is born evil and is bad for no reason!
Tongtian's eyes dimmed instantly, and anger rose in his heart. Veins popped out faintly on his forehead. It seemed as if countless thunders of rage were pouring out of his heart, but it was blank. He couldn't imagine whether Kong Shuang was terrified, helpless, or indifferent at that time.
No matter which possibility it was, it made him heartbroken.
He thought about it, his body swayed slightly, and finally he vomited a mouthful of blood.
Everyone was shocked by his reaction. A saint vomiting blood was already a major event concerning the ancient world.
Yuanshi panicked and slapped him on the back with a swift palm. The aura that belonged to the Three Pure Ones slowly flowed out. After a while, he turned around with a pale face and said, "He has fallen back to the Daluo Jinxian!"
Taiyi waved his hand: "He volunteered!"
Tongtian opened his eyes after his breathing stabilized a little. The youthful vigor and ambition he had shown before vanished into thin air at this moment. He looked at Hongjun eagerly, his pleading intentions were self-evident.
Hongjun was really angry and hated him, but he couldn't resist his pleading eyes and spoke helplessly.
It happened so long ago that he couldn't remember the details clearly. He only remembered that she finally returned to the prehistoric world as a saint!
The first thing she did after returning was to travel across the ancient world and eventually occupy the former Biyou Palace as her own temple.
The disciples of Jiejiao were naturally unwilling and went to her house one after another to drive her away, but she drove them out instead.
The second thing was that she went to the West, probably to avenge herself. Both Western saints were defeated by her, but in the end she returned empty-handed and gave up revenge.
After that, he stayed indoors and never came out.
At the same time, great changes have taken place in the ancient world. The ancient world has gradually become desolate and life has disappeared. The saints and gods who used to be able to call the wind and rain have become small and weak. Evil beasts that only know how to kill have appeared in the world. The ancient world has fallen into an unprecedented crisis.
The cultivation and magic power of all living beings gradually dissipated, except for the evil corpse.
Her cultivation was gained during the chaos and was not affected by the primordial chaos. Naturally, this once again attracted the covetousness of Heaven. However, Heaven had failed in its first attempt to occupy her body, let alone how powerful she was now!
Actually, Hongjun should thank her, because she seriously injured Tiandao, so he was able to regain control of his body.
She fought her way up to the Purple Sky Palace, then sneered at him with a curved lip, half teasing and half mocking, and shouted, "Daoyou Hongjun!"
He had no choice but to agree, and then she asked her to hand over Tian Dao.
At that time, he had already torn his face with Tiandao. He endured the severe pain and forcibly peeled Tiandao out of his body and handed it to her.
She wanted to wipe out Tiandao, but Tiandao said that if he disappeared, the world would be destroyed as well.
The evil corpse smiled faintly: "The prehistoric world has become so desolate now. It will soon be destroyed by nature. It is better to do it a few days earlier."
Her strength was too great, and he could only stand aside and dared not stop her from wiping out the Heavenly Dao.
After the Way of Heaven was wiped out, the world began to collapse. All living beings dared not speak out against her until she created a new life for the world.
She combined an independent world that did not require intervention from Heaven with the primitive world, and with the vitality of that world, allowed the primitive world to survive.
The vitality of the ancient world reappeared and gradually recovered. As a price, all creatures in the ancient world lost the ability to practice and their lifespans became short. Whether they were gods or saints, they were transformed into mortals and suffered from the pain of birth, old age, sickness and death.
But compared to the destruction of the great universe, all living beings are willing to accept it.
Hongjun originally thought this was the best ending for Honghuang, until one day, the Dao found her and gave Honghuang a new chance -
Restart time and space, and try again!
But the law is equal to everyone, she will disappear forever as a sacrifice, and in the new time and space, no one will remember her.
Hongjun originally wanted to persuade her not to agree to the conditions of the Great Dao. After all, she had done enough for Honghuang and sacrificed herself for Honghuang. Even he, the ancestor of Taoism, was unwilling to go to such a extent.
She ignored it and asked the Dao a question: "If time and space were to restart, would the creatures that once perished in the prehistoric world be reborn in the new time and space?"
The avenue replied: "Of course!"
She didn't know what she was thinking about, but she readily agreed to the Dao's conditions and activated the formation that reshaped time and space.
Before entering the formation and becoming a sacrifice, she did one last thing...
Having said this, Hongjun closed his eyes, stopped talking, and looked around at the expressions of everyone.
Their expressions showed surprise, admiration, and even confusion. They didn't understand why she chose to sacrifice herself to help Honghuang, a man who once hated her, bullied her, and even wanted to kill her!
Hongjun's gaze finally fell on Tongtian's face, and only his expression showed heartache, he was heartbroken for her!
He felt a complex emotion before he spoke: "She repaired a broken sword, the Qingping Sword that was broken during the Conferred God Battle!"
It was then that he suddenly realized that the mystery surrounding why the evil corpse had transformed from a weak and pitiful creature without any ability to fight back into the most powerful saint in the prehistoric world was solved.
She met someone who helped her become stronger!
Hongjun tried to ask her: "Where is the owner of this sword now?"
To his surprise, her answer was very cold, almost expressionless: "He's dead!"
