Catalog of Destruction

As soon as the words Zixiao Palace blurted out, the two of them realized something was wrong. One of them began to have cracks in the dark and chaotic space in front of them, and the other stopped the extension of these cracks. This strange change scared them into silence.

After a long time, the giant tried his best to control his voice and spoke in a low voice: "Excuse me, who are you?"

Originally, he wanted to ask the name of the beautiful woman wearing Tai Chi robes in front of him, but as soon as he was about to speak, he realized that he didn't know what the idioms here were. If he exposed his heel, he would probably get into a lot of trouble. , so he changed his words in a hurry and asked in a normal and direct way.

Seeing that there were no cracks in the dark space in front of him, the giant secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he could control it, otherwise he would not dare to speak in the future.

"I am a poor Taoist, uh, Taiji Taoist. I have met my Taoist friend." Shangguan Piaoxue tightened her palms and almost gave her real name. She had just been born in that dark place, so how could she have a name? Therefore, she took the "Tai Chi" she had been feeling for a hundred years as her Taoist name, and answered using the elegant Taoist expressions found in scripts and operas.

"I just broke free from the restraints and don't have a name yet. Well, let's just pick one now and call him Li Gu." The giant bowed his hands and saluted, secretly happy in his heart. It seems that the speaking style here is the same as his own, and he is not afraid of showing his flaws. .

But will she have the same experience as herself? When he thought of this, Li Gu felt a little wary in his heart.

Shangguan Piaoxue was quite happy: "That poor Taoist should also give me a lay name. Well, he's called Shangguan Piaoxue. By the way, fellow Taoist Li, do you know where this is?" From the origin of her body, she felt this dark and lifeless thing. The place is already somewhat clear, and the myths and legends I have heard before make it even more clear. But until we get confirmation, everything is still just a guess.

Li Gu shook his head warily: "I don't know."

Shangguan Piaoxue pondered for a moment: "Then let's go to Zixiao Palace and ask."

"You need to be careful, there may be danger inside!" Li Gu waved his hand quickly.

Shangguan Piaoxue smiled sweetly: "We are just asking about some innocuous things, and there is no malice. How can there be danger? Besides, even if there is danger, it is not that we have no ability to protect ourselves."

After finishing speaking, without looking at Li Gu, he strode towards the ordinary Taoist temple "Zixiao Palace". This guy born in the chaos was really timid, and a sense of superiority suddenly arose spontaneously.

"Being so careless and reckless, it seems like he was born out of chaos." Li Gu looked at Shangguan Piaoxue's back and sneered secretly in his heart.

As a monk, Li Gu's cultivation level is not high, but he has heard a lot about it. Although no ancient or ancient monks have witnessed the creation of the world, there are many myths passed down, plus the memories from the origin of the body. , he was roughly certain that after his death, he was somehow reincarnated before the beginning of the world, and his cultivation and strength were far higher than before. If he was Haori now, he was just a firefly before.

"I'm afraid those high-ranking masters and venerables can't stop me from attacking at will." Li Gu put his hands on his back and watched Shangguan Piaoxue walking towards the Zixiao Palace. He was full of ambition and confidence, but suddenly he had a thought. The nature of a monk Attacked, "Will there be any great benefits in Zixiao Palace?"

His face changed and he made a difficult decision for a while. Seeing Shangguan Piaoxue approaching the Taoist temple, Li Gu made up his mind and quickly chased after him. Finally he caught up with Shangguan Piaoxue at the wide open black and yellow door. He showed a handsome smile and said: "How could Li let Taoist friend Shangguan be involved in danger?"

Shangguan Piaoxue raised his head slightly, feeling a little proud, and had a better impression of Li Gu: "The door of Zixiao Palace is wide open, so you can't help but enter." As he said this, he stepped in.

Li Gu took a step toward the door and realized that his body was too big and the door was too small. But before he could think about it, he felt an inexplicable force coming from the inner door, and then he involuntarily shrank and returned to his normal height.

He was astonished and followed Shangguan Piaoxue through the gate. Suddenly his eyes lit up. Behind the gate was the main hall. It was about ten feet in diameter. There was a half-person-high Taoist platform above it. There was an apricot-yellow futon, and a prime minister was sitting on it. The young Taoist priest in green Taoist robe has an elegant and refined demeanor.

There is an ordinary small clock in front of this young Taoist. But if you look carefully, you will feel dizzy and your mind is shaking, either slow, stagnant, or fast. Under the Taoist platform, there are nine identical apricot futons. , lined up.

Li Gu and Shangguan Piaoxue shook their heads to get rid of the shaking feeling in their minds. They didn't understand what was going on, but they didn't dare to look at the small clock anymore.

"Taoist Priest, I don't know how to call you?" Affected by this feeling and the silence in the hall, Shangguan Piaoxue asked cautiously.

Then they saw the young Taoist smile and say: "The poor Taoist Tianxuan will open a forum here to preach, once in a hundred years, until the heaven and the earth are opened."

Opening up of heaven and earth? It’s really chaos! Shangguan Piaoxue completely confirmed his guess and blurted out excitedly: "Are you the incarnation of heaven here?"

Li Gu was shocked in his heart. Could it be that he was really the incarnation of the "Tao" in the rumors? No wonder his body was shrunk without any struggle just now.

Shi Xuan shook his head, his eyes seemed to be closed but not closed, and he stopped talking. He joked in his heart: "No, I am just passing by."

Seeing that the young Taoist remained silent, Shangguan Piaoxue and Li Gu looked at each other, and it was Shangguan Piaoxue who spoke: "Taoist Master, don't you want to preach?"

"Wait." Shi Xuan spat out one word softly.

The two looked at each other, not daring to communicate with each other. They glanced at the nine apricot futons, walked over to each of them, found one and sat down cross-legged, imitating the Taoist above to meditate with their eyes closed.

Not long after, a strange creature that looked like a fish, but not a bird, and exuded a strong aura of destruction came in. Seeing this scene, he was slightly startled, then he transformed into a cold-faced man in black robes and walked to Li Gu. The apricot-yellow futon sat down and asked Li Gu with his newly mastered Yuanshi: "I am a poor Taoist, Yue Xiang, dare I ask where this Zixiao Palace is?"

When Li Gu gave him a brief answer, he glanced at the young Taoist above him in surprise, followed the example of the two beside him, closed his eyes and waited.

Afterwards, five more creatures came in one after another, including a Bodhi tree that seemed to be in death and transcendence, a green lotus blooming with murderous intent, a lotus embryo that seemed black and white, etc. After asking each other, they turned into human forms and sat down. On the apricot futon.

At this time, two strange creatures came in side by side, one with a human face and a snake body, red without scales, and the other with six legs and four wings, headless and faceless, as red as red fire. After the two came in, they saw nine apricot yellow futons already sitting upright. Eight people suddenly felt something in their hearts: "It looks like there are only nine of these apricot futons. Although I don't know what the benefits are of sitting on the futons, it is definitely better than sitting directly on the jade bricks in the palace!"

With the thought together, the two flew away at the same time. The six-legged and four-winged bird pierced through the space and was about to land on the futon. Suddenly, he felt his mind swaying, swaying around, and then fell out. He watched the human-faced snake. He turned into a white-haired old man and sat cross-legged on the futon.

It snorted bitterly, turned into a middle-aged man in golden robe, and sat behind Li Gu.

This futon fight made the eight people who got the futons feel happy. It was a good thing they came early.

Without timing in the chaos, after a long time, the forty-nine nature gods finally arrived and sat down each.

"When you listen to the sermon in the future, you will be seated according to today's seats. No competition is allowed unless there is a voluntary exchange." Shi Xuan opened his eyes and said calmly, "You are all innate gods bred in chaos. You are born powerful. Each represents the origin of the laws of heaven and earth. , is an important part of the creation of the world and the evolution of the universe in the future, so Pindao is here to give lectures in order to guide you on the right path."

"Innate gods? He has actually become a god!" Forty-nine thoughts arose at the same time, but he did not dare to let the people next to him notice his ecstasy, lest he be exposed, "This Taoist is really the incarnation of the Great Dao!"

Li Gu was the first to react and blurted out what he was most concerned about: "Taoist Master, no, Teacher Tianxuan, what is the lifespan of this innate spirit?" The ears of the others suddenly became pointed.

"The same life span as heaven and earth, but there will be a catastrophe in a million years or so. Whether you can survive it depends on whether you can control your own mind." Shi Xuan answered calmly.

"Heaven and earth live together?!"

"Millions of years!"

The voices kept coming and going, and the two had almost the same meaning in everyone's minds, and everyone could no longer suppress their joy.

Shi Xuan interrupted their joy and continued: "In addition to the heavenly catastrophe, you still have the murderous catastrophe. The biggest catastrophe will be more than 900 years later. When the heaven and the earth were opened, the earth, fire, and wind and water broke out. Can you survive?" There are very few.”

When cold water was poured on their heads, the lively atmosphere came to an abrupt end, and everyone asked respectfully and urgently: "Teacher Tianxuan, can you teach us how to avoid disaster?"

"One is the righteous and the other is the auxiliary. There are two paths. The righteous listens to the preaching of the poor Taoist, controls his mind and improves his cultivation. The auxiliary suppresses the innate gods that represent the law of destruction first, so that the destructive power when it breaks out will be much lighter. Shi Xuan said expressionlessly.

As soon as these words came out, everyone turned their attention to Yue Xiang. With the induction between innate gods and his irrepressible aura of destruction, they naturally recognized him effortlessly as the god who represented the law of destruction.

"You guys!" Yue Xiang was shocked and angry, most of his glances were malicious.

While looking at Yue Xiang, he was looking for an innate spirit with the ability to suppress, so his eyes fell on Shangguan Piaoxue.

Shangguan Piaoxue looked at Yue Xiang's frightened and angry expression, and her heart softened. She stood up and said loudly: "How can you suppress fellow Taoist Yue for something you haven't done yet?!"

"If this is true, what fate will happen in the future? One of you will be suppressed or even killed without doing any evil deeds. How will you feel? Do not do what you do not want others to do. Give to others!”

Everyone, who originally had their own agenda, became silent and hesitant, no one wanted to be regarded as a victim.

Shangguan Piaoxue was very satisfied with this situation and continued: "There are forty-nine of us, and we are all very powerful. If we can work together and work together, what disaster can we not survive?"

Everyone nodded involuntarily, out of satisfaction and confidence in their current strength.

A Qingyue bell rang, and ripples spread out. The eyes of the Zhu Jiuyin-like god suddenly straightened, and Shi Xuan spoke calmly and slowly: "The sermon begins."
