Chapter 728: The Death of Xiangyushan (End)
The dispute between Buddhism and Taoism has a long history. No matter what, Shen Fei is considered a disciple of the Taoist Tianzong. Naturally, he has to make plans for Taoism. It is impossible to let such an excellent disciple be snatched away by other sects. With Xu Ziling's character and understanding, it can be said that if he had not been tricked by Master Feixuan to become a monk guardian, it is very likely that he would break the void.
This is not to say that Kou Zhong is not good, but that the two of them are on different paths.
Speaking of this world, the reason why Taoism is not well-known is all because of Ning Daoqi. After all, he is the first person in Taoism and the first master in Central Plains. When no one can replace his position, Taoism will not be able to completely turn against him even if it is not happy.
Of course, although it is impossible to completely turn against Ning Daoqi, it is impossible for Ning Daoqi to truly see the foundation of Taoism. For example, Ning Daoqi will not have the opportunity to see the whole picture of Huangtian Dafa.
"Brother Shen, have you seen an immortal?"
Just when Xu Ziling, Kou Zhong, Du Fuwei and others were shocked by the secrets that Shen Fei said, Kou Zhong recovered quickly, and then his eyes turned and he suddenly asked.
As soon as this question came out, everyone present immediately focused their attention on Shen Fei.
"You will know the answer to this question later."
Shen Fei looked at Kou Zhong and showed a meaningful smile. What is an immortal? Even if it is a god, he has seen the Dragon of the Candle and Ju Mang. However, this topic is not easy to bring up now. It is not a question of whether they believe it or not, but Shen Fei is afraid that the level of exposure is too high. Once Cihang Jingzhai and Jingnian Zen Temple shrink back, he will have some trouble if he wants to attack them.
Cihang Jingzhai, if you look into it, you will find that this sect is completely bullying the weak and afraid of the strong. When you can beat them, I will hit hard, and when you can't beat them, I will be submissive. This era is probably because they have won over the first tell of the Central Plains, and they act very unscrupulously. From the word "Xuandi Daitian", you can know how arrogant they are.
But if you look at the Cihang Jingzhai in the legend of the borderland, you will find that they have very little presence. There is no way. There are too many powerful demons in the borderland era. Mu Qingliu and Shi Zhixuan can be said to be on par with each other. It is Shi Zhixuan in his heyday, not Shi Zhixuan because of schizophrenia.
In addition, the two sects and six paths of the demons in that period were unified, unlike this era, which are divided. In addition, Mu Qingliu was stronger in that era, unlike the demons in this era. Except for Shi Zhixuan and Zhu Yuyan, everyone else is much weaker.
Therefore, it is very important to show some strength, but not to make Cihang Jingzhai and other forces feel that they cannot resist. Only in this way can Cihang Jingzhai and others continue their plan. After all, starting from the name of Li Shimin, this is a plan they have been planning for more than 20 years. How can they give up because of a little change?
In fact, if Xu Ziling and Kou Zhong had not participated in the internal struggle of the Li family in the original work, the people of Cihang Jingzhai, including Ning Daoqi, would definitely have personally participated. Otherwise, if the Demon Sect really picked the peaches, wouldn't they cry to death? It was because of Shuanglong's action that the Buddhist Sect had no chance to take action, making them seem to be indifferent to the world.
The Buddhist sect made money in prosperous times, and the Taoist sect left the mountain in troubled times. Although this sentence may be a bit extreme, it is the truth. Apart from anything else, the Taoist sect is very cautious about the disciples' becoming monks. Look at the Buddhist sect, saying that everyone is saved, and they wish that everyone in the world would become monks.
There is a term called the Buddhist country on earth, but there has never been a Taoist country on earth. If you look at the birthplace of Buddhism during this period, Shentu, you will find that Buddhism is not without the idea of turning the Central Plains into that.
It's just a pity that there are too many heroes and strong men in the Central Plains, far beyond the reach of the mere Sindhu. It's impossible for the mere Buddhist sect to hold supreme power like those small countries and tribes in Sindhu or outside the Great Wall.
Even Li Shimin, the emperor who was helped to rise by Cihang Jingzhai and Jingnian Zen Temple, immediately began to restrict the power of the Buddhist sect after becoming the emperor.
"Well, you haven't even reached the level of a grandmaster yet, so don't pay too much attention to this aspect. It won't do you any good." Looking at Kou Zhong who was thinking about what he meant by what he said just now, Shen Fei continued.
"Then Brother Shen, have you already reached the level of a grandmaster?" Kou Zhong asked again. This question was not only asked by Kou Zhong, but also wanted to know by everyone else present.
"It's the same sentence as before. You will know the answer to this question later."
Shen Fei did not deny or admit whether he was a grandmaster. It depends on what everyone thinks. However, judging from his appearance, most people would not think that Shen Fei had reached the level of a grandmaster. After all, the two dragons had not yet shown their prowess at this time. It was hard for people to imagine that he could reach the level of a grandmaster at such a young age.
"Okay, let's continue with the previous topic." Shen Fei immediately changed the topic.
"Are you talking about immortals?" Kou Zhong asked hurriedly.
"It's the Taoist Tianzong." Shen Fei looked at Kou Zhong and shook his head slightly. After discovering that he was harmless to them, he immediately returned to his usual nature.
He was going to spread the reputation of the Taoist Tianzong today. What he said before was just the beginning. There would be a lot of filling in the future.
Choosing the Taoist Tianzong instead of the Yin-Yang School or other sects of the Hundred Schools of Thought, such as Guigu Zongheng, firstly, many sects of the Hundred Schools of Thought changed their ways and became demon sects during this period.
The second is to take the opportunity to contact the Taoists in this world and use their power. Don't think that there are no other powerful people in Taoism just because Ning Daoqi appeared in the original work. In fact, the fact that there are no other powerful people in Taoism does not mean that Taoism has no strength.
After all, there have been people who broke the void, and Ning Daoqi was also cultivated by Taoism. The status of Louguan Dao in Taoism at this time is the same as that of Cihang Jingzhai and Jingnian Zen in Buddhism.
If you want to unify the world, it is impossible for one person to do it no matter how strong he is, especially Shen Fei is also going to minimize the damage caused to ordinary people by the righteous army of this era.
"Mr. Zhong." Just when Kou Zhong was about to continue to say something, Xu Ziling beside him pulled his arm and shook his head.
"Let's get back to the point. The reason why our Taoist Tianzong is not well-known in the martial arts world is that we are a hidden sect and we usually don't reveal our identities."
"Brother Shen, why do you reveal your identity now?" Kou Zhong asked curiously. This was not only Kou Zhong's doubt, but also Shen Luoyan, Du Fuwei and others' doubts, but they would not ask directly like Kou Zhong.
"Mr. Zhong." Xu Ziling couldn't help but frowned. Kou Zhong's words just now were already somewhat provocative.
"You will understand this after I finish. Now listen to me quietly, okay, my Mr. Zhong." Shen Fei would naturally not be angry because of Kou Zhong's interruption. He was not such a petty person.
"Brother Shen, you can just call me Xiao Zhong. I can't bear the title of Zhong Shao."
"Why can't I bear it? You, Kou Zhong, are just of a lower origin. If you were of the same origin, would you think you are not as good as those disciples of the aristocratic families?"
"Of course not. If we were of the same origin, I, Kou Zhong, would definitely be more than ten blocks away from them." Kou Zhong's face immediately straightened and he shouted with a heroic face. Even Xu Ziling's face became serious.
"That's right, Zhong Shao, let me ask you a question. What do you think of the Demon Sect? Are they good or evil?" Shen Fei was originally going to continue to fill in the background of the Taoist Tianzong, but after seeing the expressions of Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling, he suddenly asked.
"If it was before you, brother, spoke, I would definitely think they were evil, but since you asked so, I think there must be something hidden in it." Kou Zhong's eyes turned and he immediately answered. Kou Zhong was so powerful that he didn't even call Shen Fei by his last name and directly recognized him as his brother.
"You are quite clever." After listening to Kou Zhong's words, Shen Fei smiled and shook his head slightly, then said: "Yes, I am here to tell you a truth, don't just follow what others say. In the eyes of many people, the Demon Sect is evil and the Famous Sect is righteous, but in fact, this world has never distinguished between good and evil, there are only good and evil.
There are also kind people in the Demon Sect, and there are also many evil people in the Famous Sect."
"Brother, since they are called the Demon Sect, I think even if there are kind people in it, they are only a minority, and the evil ones occupy the majority, otherwise it would not be called the Demon Sect." Kou Zhong said thoughtfully.
Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling are not fools, it is not so easy to fool them.
"Yes, that's the truth, but some things need to be viewed from another angle. If you look at the same thing from another angle, it's normal to have two completely opposite results.
Some things can't just be seen from the surface, you have to see the essence inside."
The Buddhist sect of the Tang Shuanglong, whether it's Cihang Jingzhai or Jingnian Zen, is absolutely very upright in its usual behavior, which is completely different from the unscrupulous demon sect.
But if you think carefully about the architecture of Jingnian Zen, let alone the three-color glazed tiles, just the small copper temple, you can know how luxurious it is. You know, copper is wealth at this time.
Why did Shen Fei target the Buddhist sect? Did he hate them? Of course not. He had no opinion on any sect. The reason why he made various plans against them was because they were greedy and made money without limit, which was more annoying than the aristocratic families.
Many aristocratic families in this era are actually very similar to the Buddhist sect, but the aristocratic families have one advantage over the Buddhist sect, that is, the aristocratic families at least participate in production and abide by some laws, but the Buddhist sect does not produce at all and does not respect the law.
The Buddhists of this era have great power. For example, if a person commits a crime, he can be exempted from punishment as long as he becomes a monk. The reason is very simple, because he is already atonement for his sins by eating vegetarian food and chanting Buddhist scriptures. It is ridiculous.
It is precisely because of this that emperors of all dynasties are very vigilant against the Buddhists. There have even been several attempts to destroy Buddhism in history.
Shen Fei will naturally not destroy Buddhism. After all, it is impossible for a sect to be destroyed cleanly. Look at the Confucianism, which is the only school of thought, and the hundreds of schools of thought are abolished. Don't they still exist?
However, in this world, setting up a tourism bureau like "Under One Person" is one of his plans. Don't you Buddhists occupy most of the beautiful rivers and mountains? Then develop them.
"These things are not what I should talk about now. I will tell you slowly later. Now let's continue with the previous topic. I think you all know about the Demon Sect, but I'm afraid you know very little about the origin of the Demon Sect." Shen Fei continued.
"What you said seems to have nothing to do with the Taoist Tianzong." Shan Meixian's daughter Shan Wanjing seemed a little impatient and interrupted Shen Fei's words directly, so Shan Meixian couldn't help but pull her.
"Don't worry, you will know soon whether it is related or not." Shen Fei was not angry even for Kou Zhong, let alone Shan Wanjing, a beauty. Thinking that such a beauty seemed to marry an unknown guy in the end, Shen Fei thought it was better to let those people die.
Except for Shan Meixian, the specific origin of the Demon Sect was unknown to others, including Shen Luoyan and Du Fuwei.
"The so-called Demon Sect was originally called the Holy Sect. It was formed by the joint establishment of the hundreds of schools of thought that were deposed. However, after so many years, the inheritance of the hundreds of schools of thought has long been lost."
In fact, the two factions and six paths of the Demon Sect can see some shadows of the hundreds of schools of thought. For example, if it was placed in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, it would undoubtedly be an assassin.
During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, assassins were not derogatory, but also one of the various schools of thought. There are also biographies of assassins in the Records of the Grand Historian.
"And my Taoist Tianzong has existed since the pre-Qin era, and has been practicing in seclusion. However, later, my predecessor Zhuangzi felt that Confucianism should be respected alone and all schools of thought should be abolished, so he had a discussion with the leaders of each school at that time. After that, the inheritance of all schools of thought was deposited in the Taoist Tianzong. In other words, I have the complete inheritance of all schools of thought."
Shen Fei was not lying when he said this. After all, he really had these inheritances, but they were from the Qin world.
The secluded sects in the pre-Qin period made everyone present fall into silence again, and they were all digesting this news that was as shocking as a stone breaking stone.
"I remember that Mr. Zhuangzi and Mr. Dong Zhongshu were not from the same era." Shen Luoyan said after thinking for a while, looking at Shen Fei.
"The reason I came out this time is actually very simple, that is to witness the Evil Emperor Xiang Yutian breaking the void."
Another earth-shattering statement. If we say that in the pre-Qin era, there was Zhuangzi, because it was too far away and there was no sense of reality, then the Evil Emperor Xiang Yutian was completely different.
"You mean that the Evil Emperor broke the void not long ago." Du Fuwei suddenly said with a serious face.
"Yes, whether it is the first generation of Evil Emperor Xie Bo, or the Evil Emperor Xiang Yutian of this generation, or the Sword Immortal Yan Fei, the Heavenly Master Sun En, their broken voids, the disciples of the Taoist Tianzong are all witnesses."
Of course this is a lie, but even if it is a lie, Shen Fei is not afraid of being exposed, unless those who broke the void run back.
It must be said that using these true and false news in exchange for the complicated expressions of Shen Luoyan, Du Fuwei and others, Shen Fei has a rare sense of pleasure in his heart, which can also be regarded as a rare kind of bad taste in his heart.
"Of course, witnessing the destruction of the void by the evil emperor Xiang Yutian is only one of my goals. The other goal is to end the chaos of this era."
I hadn't thought of it before about The Scar of the Sky, but it seems that there are two versions. I haven't watched the TV series much, so I don't know how it compares to the game. If I write the TV version, will it be better?
Also, the chapter title is really too difficult.
