Marry Changle in Datang

Thinking of this, Qin Wenyuan opened his eyes, and two golden lights shot out from his pupils. His body was wrapped in the Taoist rhyme that condensed like water mist, and his face was neither happy nor sad, just like a son descended from heaven coming to the mortal world, like otherworldly immortals. His energy made the onlookers watch his breakthrough. The elders of the three religions scattered around seemed to have seen the statue of their master. They all knelt down and knelt down and chanted Taoist scriptures.

In the sky, another round of thunder and lightning struck low and thick clouds at this time, and its power was more intense than the previous two times. The rolling black clouds were like thousands of horses galloping on the battlefield, and the rumbling thunder was like the trembling of horse hooves. The lightning on the earth is like the cold shining weapons in the hands of thousands of soldiers, vowing to eliminate Qin Wenyuan, a small creature who dares to fight against the sky, from heaven and earth.

Qin Wenyuan raised his head and roared, and his sound broke through the nine heavens, causing the great gods of the Buddhist and Taoist sects such as Wudang Mountain, Shaolin, Lishan, Kongtong, Huashan, Qingcheng Mountain, Emei Mountain, Longhu Mountain, etc. to follow. They closed their eyes to practice, opened their eyes during enlightenment, stood up and went out to look at Kunlun. What's more, they used the technique of shrinking the ground into an inch and rushed to Kunlun Mountain. They wanted to see what happened, but unexpectedly they were blocked by the restrictions of Kunlun Fairy Mountain. Outside the core areas of several Taoist temples, let alone entering the Yuzhu Peak Valley, there is a fairy cave that even Kunlun disciples cannot easily enter.

In the city of Luoyang, the eastern capital, Wu Zetian suddenly saw the changes in the sky. She sent an order to the imperial eunuch and all the ministers to board the Zetian Gate Tower. She looked up at the sky with rolling clouds, which occasionally obscured the sun and made the sky dark and uncertain. Then she heard that there was something coming in the west sky. There was a faint thunder, and he couldn't help but asked Qin Tianjian in shock.

"What is the sign of this turbulent celestial phenomenon?"

The Qintian Supervisor heard the Queen's question and replied after a moment of pondering.

"This celestial phenomenon is as expected by me. It must be caused by a Taoist master who has passed through a tribulation. Could it be that the Holy Son of Kunlun and the Prince of Qi, Xu Tian, ​​once again broke through the Taoist skills and triggered the secret of heaven?"

When Wu Zetian heard this, his heart was shocked. He thought that with such a great god sitting in the Qin family, it would not be difficult to take over the world. It was true, it was definitely not difficult. It was ridiculous that he had worked so hard for power, and now he was the master of Wu Zhou's country. The emperor of Sheji thought about how to secure his throne all day long, so why did he have such ambition to fight against the sky?

Thinking that this queen is also a hero among people, knowing that Qin Wenyuan has such an unyielding will, I feel admiration in my heart.

After thinking for a while, Wu Zetian spoke.

"A decree was sent to the Qin family in Qizhou, and the Qin family was given a golden plaque with the four words "Together with the country". King Xu Tian of Qi enjoyed half the honor of the dynasty, and was rewarded with eight pairs of maids in palace clothes, and some gold, silver and silk satin to show the court's support for the Xu family. Grace.”

When all the ministers heard this, they were all envious of the Qin family for receiving this honor...

Forget about gossiping, it is said that Qin Wenyuan was facing a natural disaster in Kunlun, and saw dozens of thunder and lightning strikes. You see, he actually jumped into the air amidst the roar, his hands kept swinging, and he muttered words, just before the thunder and lightning hit him. When his body exploded, the Niwan Palace above his head suddenly shot out colorful rays of light, activating the power of mountains and rivers contained in the earth to form a light curtain to resist thunder and lightning.

"Boom, boom, boom!"

"Cha, cha, cha!"

Amidst the fierce sound of destroying the heaven and earth, Qin Wenyuan's body in the sky was like the stars in the night sky shining brightly. At this time, he was already the Tao, letting the thunder and lightning wash his body and reshape his meridians.

The thunder and lightning was so powerful that it was so angry that it could not do anything to this insignificant creature in this world. In the shining arc, purple thunder clouds began to rage.

Qin Wen saw the sight and cursed the thunder and lightning that followed him like a shadow.

"Are you still fucking finished!"

After scolding, he had to continue to resist, looking at the purple thunder and lightning that was riding on the black clouds, Qin Wenyuan's hair stood up, his hands transformed into a "Fangtian Painted Halberd" and pointed directly at the sky, shouting.

"The gods from all over the world will quickly send down their magical powers to follow my Taoist teachings and lead the Thunder God and the Lightning Mother back to their places. I am following the Taoist ancestor's orders as fast as the law!"

After reciting this mantra, several rays of golden light suddenly penetrated the black clouds in the sky. Just as the purple thunder exploded, Qin Wenyuan was injured and blood spurted out of his mouth. A drop of nectar spilled out from the golden light and dripped into his mouth, causing his body to slow down. Slowly falling to the ground, Taoist immortal magic appeared again, and several lotus flowers appeared in the air to support his body.

After a while, the dark clouds finally dissipated, revealing a blue sky without a trace of color. The breeze blew, and the raging thunder and lightning disappeared.

An experienced Taoist has carefully counted that Qin Wenyuan has experienced ninety-nine tribulations and endured 81 lightning strikes. Now he is completely naked, lying quietly on the petals of several lotus flowers and suspended in the air. There are waves of strange fragrance in the air, but no one knows whether he is alive or dead.

At this time, Qin Wenyuan's meridians in his body had been struck to pieces by lightning, and the Taoist trees in his Dantian seemed to have withered, but they gradually came back to life under the nourishment of that drop of nectar.

The strange heat in his body was unstoppable, which reminded him of the lotus pond in front of the Taoist temple. In the lotus pond, he had seen strange lotus leaves, lotus flowers, and the strange fish that gave him lotus seeds.

Everything was so clearly visible, Qin Wenyuan seemed to have returned to the time when he was just a young man practicing the "Pangu Heart Sutra", starting from the first level of the Heart Sutra, then the second level, the third level... slowly recovering his cultivation.

His body was lying quietly among several lotus flowers, and time was quietly passing by. The mountains around him were messy and exposed after being exploded by thunder and lightning when he was going through the tribulation. Now they are full of life again, with a lush forest growing out It is covered with green, and the grass and trees that were scorched by lightning have long since been reborn when the spring breeze blows.

The little demon has consolidated his cultivation and is guarding Qin Wenyuan all day long. Even the masters of the three Kunlun religions are not allowed to approach the Holy Son. They only allow Master Zhunzhiren to practice cross-leggedly beside his evil disciple. Zhiren has gained a lot of benefits, including Because the aura emitted by those lotus flowers is filled with pure spiritual energy, it is repairing Xu Tian's broken body.

Just when Qin Wenyuan in Kunlun Mountain fell into a deep sleep due to overcoming the tribulation, wars broke out all over the world in Wu Zhou.

At the end of the first year of Wuzhou's "Changshou" (692), generals Wang Xiaojie and Ashina Zhongjie led their troops to the northwest. The battle was mostly caused by Xu Xiaole's resignation from the imperial court and the return of [-] Jinwu guards. There were some connections with the state, which made Tubo think that the Wuzhou court had no generals available and could take advantage of it.

In January of the second year of "Changshou" (693), Wang Xiaojie defeated Tubo and took the opportunity to recover the four towns of Anxi such as Qiuci, Shule, Khotan and Suiye. The imperial court moved the Anxi Protectorate to Qiuci and exercised control over the four towns of Anxi. of military and political governance.

In the same year, the Western Turks proclaimed Ashina Cunzi as their khan, and together with the Tibetan army that defeated Wang Xiaojie, they invaded Wuzhou again. This prompted the later Turks to silently accept the khan, and Shiwei's forces followed suit and rebelled against Wuzhou.There were frequent emergencies around Wu, and the imperial court dispatched troops to put out the fires, but they only started to suppress fires. Because during this period, the imperial government imposed harsh policies, but in order to monitor the words and deeds of the clan and ministers, Wu Zetian issued an edict to establish a corresponding The Yamen is responsible for receiving informants from the capital and various prefectures who come to the capital to report on courtiers, princes and nobles. It also provides many conveniences such as inns, carriages, horses, and food to informants from other prefectures who come to the capital, regardless of their status.

At that time, whistleblowers from all over the world began to appear. Suo Yuanli, Zhou Xing, Lai Junchen, Hou Sizhi and others who were cruel by nature were reused by the court through whistleblowers and were awarded the official position in charge of prisons. This formed a "cruel politics" and made everyone in the courtiers free from corruption. The situation was so dangerous that they dared not talk to each other when they met, and it even got to the point where ministers had to say goodbye to their families before going to court.

Under such a political environment, with the border war going unfavorably, Wu Zetian wanted to re-appoint Xu Qin Xiaole as the marshal of the three armies to lead the troops. However, she received a reply that Xu Xiaole was seriously ill and could not carry out the order. The Queen was furious and adopted the suggestion of Wu Sansi and other close ministers. , issued an order to mobilize the Xu family troops from Qizhou and Northeast China to participate in the war.

Qin Wenyuan's original wife, when she learned of this, summoned all the wives, the eldest son Xu Xiaofeng, and the fourth son Qin Xiaole to have a military meeting in the mansion, and reached a decision that most of the Qin family's army would be disarmed and returned to the field, and no troops would be sent to participate in the war. At the same time, she sent a telegram to the northeast of Xu Xiaoyong about this decision. And Goguryeo Xu Xiaogang learned.

After replying that the court could not send troops, Lu Yue'er ordered Xu Xiaole to mobilize the Xu family army to prepare for any crisis.

Qin Xiaole received the order from his aunt and asked his wife Fan Lihua to lead the "Suzaku" battalion as the chief general, Xu Xiaoyong's biological mother Princess Caixia as the chief general to lead the "White Tiger" battalion, and Xue Yinglong as the chief general to lead the "Qinglong" battalion, so that the three battalions of soldiers and horses went to the northeast together. Assisted his second brother Qin Xiaoyong and stationed him in Pingzhou, Raole, and Songmo in Liaodong. He was responsible for providing shelter to the Khitan, Turk, Shiwei and other powerful tribes who had surrendered to the Xu family when they were attacked, and at the same time protecting the Qin family outside the pass. The smooth flow of industry and trade routes.

In the direction of Qizhou, Qin Xiaole sent Liu Lang and Shan Sijing as generals and deputy generals to lead the "Xuanwu Camp" to garrison the border town under Wuzhou's jurisdiction. He ordered Wang Feng'er to follow him and lead [-] Jinwu Guard elite cavalry to maneuver, and the remaining troops and horses were in their respective positions, ready to go at any time. Be prepared for a crisis.

In this situation, the Qin family took precautions and ordered Xu Shilu, the commander of the Navy, to take care of the refugees who fled to the Xu family's sphere of influence during the war and transport them to the islands on the sea to open up new worlds and build new homes, becoming Xu's family. The family will be based on the base of the world from now on.

The frequent mobilization of troops and horses in Qizhou and Northeast China deterred the Wuzhou court and various forces who wanted to take advantage of the Qin family. No one dared to easily provoke this tiger.

Wu Zetian received the military report that the Qin family refused to send troops and mobilize troops. She had no choice but to use Li Duozuo, Wang Xiaojie, Zhang Jiujie, Han Sizhong, Wu Sansi, Li Jingxuan, Heiji Changzhi, etc. as generals to lead the army to deal with the rebellion of Shiwei, Tubo, and Tubo. It was not until the first year of Wuzhou's "Zhengsheng" (695) that the Turkic forces began to stabilize the world.

After the world was settled, the relationship between the Wuzhou court and Qizhou and Northeast China was delicate. Although the Qin family still regarded themselves as Wu Zhou's ministers on the surface, they were on the same page with the court, and no one wanted to break this status quo.

Years passed by in a blink of an eye.

On this day, the Taoist bells hanging on the main peaks of the three religions in the Kunlun Mountains all rang inexplicably, and their sounds rippled across the peaks and valleys. The auspicious clouds in the sky spread out, and the rays of light made the snow-capped mountains reflect a dazzling light, as if the sky and the earth were connected. Rainbow bridge.

In the Pangu Immortal Cave, several lotuses holding Qin Wenyuan's body suddenly glowed with golden light. Master Zhiren and the little demon were pushed away by an invisible force. After a while, Qin Wenyuan's body was visible. His body was directly in the shape of lotus legs. , incredible to the extreme, slowly rose into the air in the golden light, and then slowly fell down, sitting among the petals of the lotus. He was naked, naked, and his jade-like skin exuded a misty brilliance.

You can see that his eyes are slightly closed at this time, and his face is smiling, dignified and majestic, with a face that looks like a fairy.

"Infinite Heavenly Venerate!"

With a long-drawn shout, full of profound meanings, Qin Wenyuan opened his eyes, and out of thin air he dressed in a Taoist robe, sat cross-legged on the lotus throne, and rose into the air to speak to the disciples of the three sects.

"My Holy Son was protected by the Patriarch and made a breakthrough by luck. Now that the Tao is perfected by nature, I should pursue the Tao of inaction and nature. You, my disciples, should strengthen your Taoist heart and explore all things in the world according to the Tao that you have cultivated, so that all Dharma can return to your origin. , In the end, the Tao will be natural. From today on, everyone will go to the Sanqing, Yuxu, and Tongtian halls in this valley to enlighten the Tao according to their own sects. Don't go to the Enlightenment Hall to disturb this holy son's purification."

The elders, including Qin Wenyuan's master Zhiren Laodao, heard that the Holy Son had achieved a breakthrough. They all listened to the Holy Son's preaching with respect and awe. When the Holy Son finished speaking, they all saluted: "Congratulations to the Holy Son for your breakthrough. We would like to express our sincere gratitude to you." Obey the Holy Son’s decree!”

All the Taoist priests said in unison, and following the orders of the Holy Son, they each went to the Patriarch's Hall to meditate.

After all the disciples of Hong Jun Dao Ancestor's sect had left, Xu Tian wanted the little demon to follow him into the largest "Enlightenment Hall" in the building complex.

Entering the "Enlightenment Hall", Xu Tian and the little demon knelt down in front of the statues of the four founders, Hongjun, Laozi, Yuxu and Tongtian. After the worship, Qin Wenyuan thought about the little demon's way.

"In the past, you once said that there is a secret passage under the ancestor's throne. Today, you will follow me to explore the secret passage."

Hearing this, the little demon guided Qin Wenyuan with his thoughts to find the mechanism under the statue of the ancestor, but it turned out to be the eyes of some unknown beast on the relief.

Qin Wenyuan found the mechanism, stabilized his mind a little, and touched the eyes of the beast, and soon there was the sound of the mechanism opening.

Following the sound, the statue of Patriarch Hongjun slowly moved away, revealing the stone stairs going down. After the statue stopped, Xu Tian kowtowed to the ancestor again, and then slowly went down the stone stairs.

Relying on the light emitted by the luminous pearls inlaid on the mountain walls on both sides of the stone staircase, Qin Wenyuan finally descended to a place with various strange rocks and various scenery with an uneasy mood, as if it was a cave he had seen before.

Going down to the bottom of the cave, there was also the light from the luminous pearl as big as a pigeon egg. Qin Wenyuan felt that the aura here was like water mist. It was a good place for cultivation. At the end of a path covered with unknown vegetation, he saw There was a wall that was constantly rotating and shaped like a screen of light. He felt curious and wanted to move forward to check, but the little demon's fearful thoughts came from his brain and wanted to stop him from going.

Qin Wenyuan didn't know why, and was about to ask the little demon why he was acting like this, when he suddenly felt a whirlwind rising from the cave. The force of the wind was so powerful that even a person like him, who had cultivated a golden body and was indestructible, could not stop it, and his body was struck by the force. Suck it in and slowly move closer to the light wall.

Just when Qin Wenyuan's body was sucked in front of the light wall, the light wall suddenly erupted with strong silver light and illuminated the entire cave. When the silver light dimmed, Xu Tian and Xiaoyao were no longer in the cave...
