The Celestial Master's Order Sword is the symbol of the imperial masters of past dynasties who control the Taoist sects in the world.
There is a deep meaning hidden in this small sword, that is, once the sword is drawn out, no one from the Kyushu Taoist community dares to disobey.
Later, all the Imperial Masters knew that the Heavenly Master’s Order Sword could not frighten people, just like the scepter of the Immortal Capital and the will of the Emperor of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty. Only those who really respect it would respect it.
However, the Celestial Master's Order Sword is still a symbol of authority. The Imperial Masters of all generations have to receive the Celestial Master's Order Sword during the succession ceremony to represent that they have inherited the Kyushu Taoism and are the legitimate spokesperson of the Taoist sect.
Only thirty years ago, Caihua Xiong’s father Li Chonghu stole the Tianshi Order Sword. Although the Qin Tianjian and the Dauchi masters all came out to chase him and killed Li Chonghu, they did not Can retrieve the Heavenly Master's Order Sword.
After this incident, the original authority of Qin Tianjian, the Imperial Master, began to waver. Without the token of the Heavenly Master's Order Sword, he was even more depressed, and his prestige in the Taoist sect declined.
Except for Longhu Mountain, other Taoist sects have begun to turn away from Qin Tianjian and no longer respect the authority of the Grand Master.
The Heavenly Master's Order Sword determines the legitimacy of the identity of the Imperial Master, just like the jade seal passed down to the country. Even if the emperor's orders in some dynasties do not leave the capital, only those who obtain the jade seal can legitimately claim the title of emperor.
Other people don’t need the Heavenly Master’s Order Sword, and they don’t even have any thoughts because of the Heavenly Master’s Order Sword appearing in front of them.
However, Ma Xiaoyu knew that Dongfang would need this in the future.
Because in the past thirty years, he is the third national master to inherit the position without the Heavenly Master's Order Sword.
Qin Tianjian urgently needs to rebuild his prestige, but this cannot only rely on bloody killings.
Because in this case, others will only fear you instead of respecting you.
Dongfang Future glanced at Tianshi Lingjian, and his expression changed a bit.
"Master Ma Tianshi, you have brought a very important item."
"I know."
Ma Xiaoyu looked at Dongfang Future, "I want to use it in exchange for the Black Emperor's son, and for Yin Xiu to leave the Great Inner Forbidden Palace safely."
"Then you "
Dongfang Future smiled and said: "You didn't mention yourself. Aren't you afraid that you will be left in the Forbidden Palace and will not be able to leave for the rest of your life?"
"Me? Afraid.”
Ma Xiaoyu was as calm as water, "But I know that a Heavenly Master's Order Sword is not enough for me to put forward three conditions to the Qin Tianjian Imperial Master."
In fact, even if Ma Xiaoyu believed Liu Banxian's statement, However, she knew better that it was an impossible task to find the source of the dragon vein and resolve it under the obstruction of many experts, especially the Grand Master Qin Tianjian.
Yin Xiu and Liu Banxian had no idea how terrifying this leader of Kyushu Taoism was.
Ma Xiaoyu wanted to make a deal before Dongfang Future took action.
However, Dongfang Future rejected her without hesitation.
"Letting Yin Xiu leave is letting the tiger return to the mountain and the dragon into the sea. If he gets the Black Emperor's Son, plus your Yang Emperor's Son, and gathers the Five Emperors, and is not bound by the fate of the Forbidden Palace, the entire Nine Provinces will fall. into his hands.
When the time comes, I’m afraid we will all regret it. Even this Heavenly Master’s Order Sword will only be something that is temporarily stored here.”
Dongfang will take a look at the changes in the future. Ma Xiaoyu looked pale.
“Moreover, the life of the female heavenly master who exorcised the Ma family is not enough to save Yin Xiu.”
“That’s it.”
Wei Nansheng sneered and said: "You want to exchange one life for another and let the driver leave? Ha, the female heavenly master of the Ma family who exorcises demons is just a stupid woman who will not give up the life of a man."
"It's none of your business."
Ignoring Wei Nansheng's sarcasm, Ma Xiaoyu only stared at Dongfang Future at the moment and said coldly: "In that case, I won't make any deal."
She flicked her wrist, and then The three-color ruler is in his hand.
Wei Nansheng immediately drew his sword and blocked Dongfang Future.
"This is a matter of Kyushu Taoism. Don't interfere."
Dongfang Future rarely showed a determined side that could not be refused.
Wei Nansheng was startled, put his sword back into its sheath, and silently stepped back.
Dongfang Future squinted at the Heavenly Master's Order Sword in the box.
“Why do you think no one respects the Heavenly Master’s Order Sword anymore?”
Ma Xiaoyu put the box aside, "Maybe it's because people's hearts don't pin themselves on something."
"People's hearts are indeed very complex and changeable things. Ma Tianshi, you still have to leave now." It’s too late.”
Eastern Future Putting his hands behind his back, "I only want Yin Xiu."
"I also only want Yin Xiu."
Ma Xiaoyu said seriously: "I made preparations before I came. Let's talk. It's best if the negotiation fails..."
The three-color ruler in her hand glowed.
“Does it have to be like this?” Dongfang Future sighed.
“It can only be this way.”
Ma Xiaoyu’s words left no room for change.
"In that case, Master Ma, please let me see the exorcisms passed down from generation to generation by the Ma family, a family of heavenly masters."
Golden light emitted from Dongfang Future's hands, and he pulled it in the air. After the golden light disappeared, the Beitian Demon-Breaking Sword appeared in his hand.
He held the sword in his hand and motioned for Ma Xiaoyu to take action.
However, Ma Xiaoyu did not intend to take action first.
“In the Kyushu Taoist tradition, only the national preceptor has always attacked the Taoist priests, and no one below the Taoist priest has committed an offense and rebelled against the national preceptor.”
“Oh, there’s going to be a fight, what are you still insisting on? ?”
Wei Nanchang sighed. Although she understood that the Taoist priests had their own reasons for insisting, she felt that this was really pointless.
Dongfang Future didn't seem to hear Wei Nansheng's words. Dragon and tiger energy surged out around him, making his wide sleeves squeak.
The Beitian Demon-Breaking Sword made a mysterious and subtle sound in its scabbard, like the sound of a bell or the sound of a shengxiao, melodious and solemn.
Ma Xiaoyu held the three-color ruler in front of her to protect her, and held a piece of talisman paper in her sleeve with her other hand.
The first thing to be affected was the sand in the sand table. It rustled and made a sound, as if it was preparing for a sandstorm that would cover the sky and the sun.
Ma Xiaoyu felt that around the observatory, the spiritual energy had almost turned into a material substance, making the green bricks and tiles of the observatory crackle.
Dongfang Future raised his sword, but did not pull it out. Instead, he took the scabbard and pointed it at Ma Xiaoyu.
In an instant, spirits from all directions gathered at the tip of his sword, condensed and sublimated, and smashed towards Ma Xiaoyu with majestic momentum.
"The imperial edict is in the ocean, the sun rises in the east, I give you a spiritual talisman to sweep away all the ominous things, the Dragon God orders, don't be invaded by any means!"
Ma Xiaoyu held the talisman paper in her hand and surrounded it. She turned around in a circle, and at the same time, the dragon and tiger energy also followed her pulling, forming a circular protective cover around her, shrouding her in it, isolating her from the outside world.
The observatory radiated so much light that those waiting for opportunities outside could not help but cover their eyes to block the light.
After the strong light disappeared and the smoke filled the air, Ma Xiaoyu was half-kneeling on the ground. The ponytail tied together had been loosened and her hair was hanging down.
"What a benefit..."
Wei Nansheng was stunned. Although she could not see the so-called spiritual energy, she saw that a strong man like Ma Xiaoyu fell into a disadvantage with just one move, and she also knew the fighting method. of danger.
“Master Ma Tianshi, it’s not too late for you to leave now.”
Dongfang Future did not put on a victor's posture, "You didn't take action against me, did you? It's still too late now."
As soon as he finished speaking, a piece of talisman flew out of Ma Xiaoyu's sleeve, It passed by Dongfang Future's face, leaving a white mark on his face.
"I have already taken action."
Ma Xiaoyu struggled to get up, "I have committed a crime of treason against the Imperial Preceptor."
"Really?"< br>
Dongfang Future was very sorry. As he took a deep breath, thunder suddenly rumbled in the observatory, and streaks of lightning visible to the naked eye overflowed and lingered in the hall.
Thunder is the dharma of heaven and earth, represents purity and authority, and is the power that all living beings fear.
People who can master the thunder method are also the most terrifying existences in Xuanmen.
Wei Nansheng's hair had split ends, and he was so frightened that he felt that he would turn into charcoal if he was not careful.
However, Ma Xiaoyu, who was locked by all the lightning, had a strong expression and still held up the ruler in his hand.
She bit her finger and smeared the blood on the ruler, which made a buzzing sound.
At the same time, Ma Xiaoyu herself began to change.
Her black hair turned white in the blink of an eye, her pupils were dyed golden, her nails and lips were dyed an even more eerie red, and the lotus mark between her eyebrows glowed like a burning flame.
The white-haired witch Ma Xiaoyu reappears in the world. This time, it was obvious that Ma Xiaoyu had mastered the trick of transforming into a white-haired witch, and was not dominated by anger as before.
At the cost of her life force, Ma Xiaoyu's mana flowed several days faster than before, and the surrounding spirits were also drawn and used by her.
Feeling the sudden change in her temperament, Dongfang Future immediately directed the thunder and lightning to bombard her.
"The Heavenly Master ordered, Lei Ze Thunder God performs the law, as urgent as the law!"
Ma Xiaoyu pointed forward with his ruler, and countless thunder and lightning struck from the other direction, and with Thunder and lightning in the sky collided together.
The floors above the sand table instantly turned into powder under the impact of lightning, and dissipated with the wind. Strong thunder and lightning rushed into the sky, almost dyeing the sky red.
Outside the observatory, those who were originally unable to see the scene now had a clear view of the battle and became witnesses of this Taoist battle.
Dongfang Future had sparks on his sleeve. He shook his hand, and the corner of the sleeve was thrown to the ground.
"Ma Tianshi."
He looked at Ma Xiaoyu on the other side, who was gasping for air, but there was still spiritual energy lingering on his fingertips.
“What do you want? Unify the world? Fight for Kyushu? Create a new dynasty?”
"Not interested."
Ma Xiaoyu shook his head, "Although I'm not sure whether Yin Xiu's idea is right or whether it can succeed, I know that he doesn't want to be an emperor or overlord, nor does he have any intention Yu brought Kyushu into his own pocket."
"This kind of thing. Everyone can tell lies."
Dongfang Future didn't believe it, "Emperor Wei Wu also said that he was devoted to the Han Dynasty, and no one can refuse power.
The reason why a person talks about himself. He treats money as a passing thing, because he has no money.
In the same way, if a person says that he is not interested in the world, it is because he has not conquered the world at all.
Now that Kyushu is in crisis, anyone will have such thoughts, but some people dare to speak out, while others are coy. "
"Why is the world in such a panic? "
Ma Xiaoyu asked him back: "National Master, aren't you also the person who caused the world to fall into danger? "
Dongfang Future was stunned, and after a long time he sighed: "Do you think that if I join the rebellion, it will be of good help to the world?
We cannot see the future clearly, just like the results of the sand table deduction. I watched the stars last night, and the stars twinkled, revealing a terrible future.
However, I can do nothing. Just like the sages, I can only be a spectator. "
"Since you want to be a bystander, let us who dare to make mistakes do it. "
"What do you know? "
Dongfang Future refuted: "The so-called new atmosphere is just a new reincarnation. You can't change anything at all. Thinking that what you do is of any use is just your wishful thinking at best.
I just want to maintain the situation and wait for the arrival of the person promised by destiny. What you do will only lead everything to destruction. "
"Maybe there is no such thing as a person of destiny? "
Ma Xiaoyu said firmly: "National Master, for you, maintaining the balance of the Kyushu Taoism has become your burden and shackles. "
"The inheritance and glory of Kyushu Taoism cannot be destroyed in my hands. I have to let it be passed on. "
Dongfang Future's eyes shone brightly, "This is my responsibility, Master Ma Tianshi. Even if it is you, as long as you shake the Kyushu Taoism, I will have to kill you. ”
Dongfang Mirai stretched out his hand, and shining spells flew from nowhere and swirled around his arm.
Exorcism Ma Family, Mao Family, Maoshan, Wei Family in Western Hunan, Tianshi Mansion in Longhu Mountain, Qimen Dunjia, Laoshan, Qishan...
One after another is still alive in the world, or has already been The broken spells and spells are driven by the future of the East to shine.
In the star observatory, the futons that were originally empty were filled with phantoms at some point.
The attire and appearance of those people seemed to be the heavenly masters, national masters, and famous Taoist priests of the past dynasties.
These sages are sitting on futons at the moment, watching this decisive battle that will determine the future of Kyushu Taoism.
Behind Dongfang Future, gods and generals stood, with different expressions, either with kind eyes or wide-eyed anger.
The sky was covered with dark clouds, and the thunder and lightning in the clouds seemed to have ignited a raging fire, trying to burn up the sky.
Wei Nansheng also saw those phantoms at this time, and his face turned pale with fear.
She couldn't help but think of the things she had heard others discuss before, the secrets about Dongfang's future life experience.
It is said that he was considered to be the reincarnation of Emperor Zhenwu when he was born. He was welcomed into Qin Tianjian by the previous imperial master to practice. After he was crowned, he integrated Confucianism, Taoism, Buddhism and Samadhi, and his merits were perfect.
In the strong wind, Dongfang Future's hair crown fell to the ground, and his black hair flew.
"Ma Xiaoyu, let me ask you one last time, should you give up your meaningless delusions, or will you be wiped out by me and your body and soul disappear?"
Dongfang Future's tone was as usual, but at this time his voice Like the rolling thunder and the sound of the bell, even the people fighting outside the observatory felt their eardrums vibrating, and their bodies trembled with the rhythm of Dongfang Future's words.
Blood flowed from the corner of Ma Xiaoyu's mouth, and the unparalleled pressure shook her heart, as if her sanity was going to be destroyed at any time.
However, Ma Xiaoyu still said firmly in the face of this pressure: "I believe in him, and I believe in the future that Yin Xiu is betting on."
"Even if he destroys the Kyushu Taoism?"
The light in Dongfang Future's hand is blooming more and more, and any spell in it seems to be filled with the power of moving mountains and filling seas.
Ma Xiaoyu withstood the pressure, the flame between her brows flickered brightly, like the only candle left in the cold wind, about to be extinguished at any time.
“If the current [Tao] will be destroyed because of one person, or someone must protect it, instead of being something that exists freely between heaven and earth and conforms to the destiny of heaven, then let it be After destruction, the true [Tao] will always be born again
As long as Kyushu is still there, there is no reason why the Kyushu orthodoxy will die. ”
Ma Xiaoyu gritted her teeth and circulated her magic power, preparing to face Dongfang Future’s strongest blow.
Dongfang Future looked at her and suddenly smiled.
Thundering After a while, the clouds disappeared and the Taoist sages and seniors disappeared one after another in the star observatory. The god general behind Dongfang Future also disappeared.
On the star observatory, the great master of Qin Tianjian, Dongfang Future, held his hand. Grab the Beitian Demon-Breaking Sword, face Ma Xiaoyu, and kneel down on one knee
"Kneel down to thank you for saving Kyushu and millions of people in Yujing and Jinmen during the Battle of Jinmen."
He held the Beitian Demon-Breaking Sword in both hands and handed it to Ma Xiaoyu before.
"Kyushu Taoism, maybe I no longer need to protect it."
Ma Xiaoyu hesitated for a moment, feeling hesitant about whether he could accept this important weapon that represented the Kyushu Taoism.
"Ma Xiaoyu, didn't you say that? Kyushu Taoism does not need anyone to protect it."
Dongfang Future did not raise his head, "I entrust the Beitian Demon-Breaking Sword to you in the hope that you can retain the hope of the Taoist tradition, without needing you to maintain the Taoist tradition and take over my shackles and responsibilities.
Let [Tao] grows freely between heaven and earth and exists That’s it, no one has to decide its future, and no one has to bear responsibility. As long as Jiuzhou is here, Daotong will be there.”
“National Master...”
Ma Xiaoyu choked, He knelt on his knees and lowered his head to receive the Beitian Demon-Breaking Sword.
When she looked up again, Dongfang Future had disappeared.
Those who were monitoring the place outside the star observatory also quietly retreated, no longer staying.
After this day, there will be no more Qin Tianjian in the world. The title of National Master disappears along with those history. The name of Dongfang Future is never mentioned by the world, as if he has never appeared in the world.
“Hey!”
Wei Nansheng caught up from behind with bare feet and followed him.
“Where are you going?”
"Walking around."
Wei Nansheng asked: "With your identity, you shouldn't go to the Immortal Mountain to seek immortality and ask?"
"What identity do I have?"
He smiled and said: "Does it matter whether a fairy mountain or something exists? Maybe I'm just walking around."
"Then you will need to rely on me in the future."
< br>
Wei Nansheng held the long sword in his arms, "Based on your life experience, without my help, you may not survive more than three months in this world. It just so happened that I also handed over the Dragon Emperor's son to the woman named Ma. Now there is nothing better." "I'm worried about you."
"You don't want to fight for the world, but you want to fight for the Central Plains?"
"Is that an idiot? It’s something we only do.”
Wei Nansheng smiled freely and said, “There is no world in these four directions. When I stand here, I am already stepping on the world. What else do I want to do to rob it? ”
She smiled like this, and then she realized that he had taken off his boots at some point and put them on his bare feet.
Wei Nansheng's cheeks turned red. (End of this chapter)
