Eat a Taiyi Taoist

Chapter 200: Dapeng, Xueyan, Niu Ben

Handsome tent. Zhu Zhang finally got the chance to talk to the Duke of England alone again. "Why did the Great Witch seek me?" British citizens are very busy and their time is precious, so just ask directly. Zhu Zhang saluted and said, "General, the above-ground dojo has been established, and the only thing missing is the underworld dojo." "Then go and stand." The Duke of England said in a deep voice, "If you have any difficulties, just speak directly. There is no need to hide it." "There are only two difficulties." Zhu Zhang didn't beat around the bush and said directly, "Route, and manpower." The Duke of England waved his hand and said, "Go and prepare yourself. My adjutant will come find you later and prepare everything you need."

"Thank you, Marshal. I will take my leave." Zhu Zhang saluted, took two steps back, and turned to leave the tent. This matter was not so important that Zhu Zhang had to report it personally and alone to the Duke of England. But doing so can avoid a lot of unnecessary trouble. After all, the army and the witches are two systems. The Duke of Ying, as the commander-in-chief of the war against the Million Mountains, must also be fully respected. As it turned out, Zhu Zhang's special report had a very good effect. After a short while, the Duke of England's adjutant found Zhu Zhang and five other wizards who were already prepared. "Great witch, please follow me." The adjutant's attitude was very good and all arrangements were very well made. Zhu Zhang led the five wizards of his lineage and descended smoothly into the underworld without encountering any problems along the way. "Great wizard, the speed of time has changed." As soon as they entered the underworld, a wizard with keen perception noticed the changes. "One to sixty." Zhu Zhang held the map of the netherworld given by his adjutant, identified the direction, and led the way while explaining, "According to the information given, the flow rate of the netherworld in the Million Mountains is 1:60 compared to that in the human world, so we must hurry up and do what we should do, and do it to the best of our ability." "Is there something special about this, Great Wizard?" Another witch asked. Zhu Zhang replied: "You have spent sixty days in the netherworld, which means that you have lost sixty days of your life. After returning to the human world, there is no way to make up for it. Do you understand?" "clear."

The five witches responded in unison. No one spoke immediately and everyone hurried on their way as fast as possible. The space of the netherworld is chaotic and constantly changing. The map given by the adjutant is a magical tool that can adjust itself in real time according to the changes in the netherworld. Even so, it still took Zhu Zhang and the five sorcerers three days to reach the camp of Duke Cheng and the police of Jing. The majestic yet eerie Yama Castle, with an extremely contradictory aura and feeling, is in sight in the distance. Zhu Zhang was not in a hurry to take the Duke of Yingguo's letter to Duke Chengguo to ask for manpower to build the Taoist temple. Instead, he first carefully surveyed the terrain within a radius of 300 miles to find the most suitable location for the temple. Only after the address was confirmed did he personally ask to see Duke Cheng. Being on the front line of the war, Zhu Zhang and other witches had to go through security checks and be informed if they wanted to see Duke Chengguo even if they had badges and the Duke of England's handwriting. By the time they entered Duke Chengguo's tent, half an hour had passed. "I'm sorry, Great Wizard." Duke Chengguo was a man of heroic character. When he saw Zhu Zhang, he spoke first, "The battle is urgent. The safety of hundreds of thousands of troops depends on me. Some rules are inevitably complicated, but they must be established and strictly enforced." Zhu Zhang said: "Why should the deputy commander do this? Rules are rules, and I am very happy to follow them." "Ha ha……" Duke Chengguo smiled cheerfully, "Great. I have heard of Master Zhu for a long time, but I have never had the chance to meet him. Today I finally get to meet him. It is truly a blessing." After saying a few polite words, Duke Cheng immediately got to the point: "The Great Witch must have something to ask me, so please speak frankly. The people in the army are straightforward and don't like to beat around the bush when doing things." Zhu Zhang immediately took out the letter from Duke Ying and handed it over, saying, "As the shamans of the Great Emperor Zhenwu, we also like to be straightforward in our actions." Duke Chengguo opened the handwritten letter and read it while praising him: "I have heard of your lineage for a long time. You prefer to take the straight path rather than the crooked one. Today I see that it is indeed true." Zhu Zhang's eyes twitched slightly. There's something wrong with this. As shamans of the Great Emperor Zhenwu, they act straightforwardly, not much different from soldiers. But the main meaning of this sentence is to warn people to do things honestly and not take shortcuts, right? Did Duke Chengguo say this unintentionally, or... Thinking of Duke Cheng's reputation as an unlearned man, Zhu Zhang suppressed his thoughts of thinking in a bad direction and waited quietly. It didn't take long for Duke Chengguo to finish reading Duke Yingguo's handwriting and fall into deep thought. After a while, Cheng Guogong said, "Manpower is easy to say, and construction is not difficult either. The only thing is that we may need the help of the Great Witch." Zhu Zhang said solemnly: "Just give your orders, Deputy Commander. I and others will do our best."

Duke Chengguo said, "Since entering the Netherworld, the soldiers have been fighting non-stop for nearly four months. The counterattack of Yama City is very fierce, and there is no time to rest. Continuing like this is not a solution. I would like to ask the Great Witch to think of a way to relieve the mental pressure of the soldiers." "It's easy to talk about." After hearing this, Zhu Zhang took the responsibility immediately. Duke Chengguo's expression suddenly became solemn: "There is no joking in the army, Great Wizard." Zhu Zhang replied solemnly: "Don't worry, Deputy Commander, I know this and will never dare to speak nonsense." "it is good!" Duke Chengguo shouted loudly, "Based on the attitude of the Great Wizard, I have decided to send 30,000 elite soldiers to help the Great Wizard build the Taoist temple!" "Thank you, Deputy Commander." Zhu Zhang bowed solemnly, expressing his gratitude from the bottom of his heart. It is easy to establish a temple in the world. Even if it is in the millions of mountains, as long as the order rules of the Celestial Empire override the local chaotic rules, the dojo prepared on Mount Dadong can be moved here by secret methods and quickly assembled. But the space in the underworld is disordered and the rules are chaotic. If you want to build a temple dedicated to Zhenwu Emperor and capable of hosting the arrival of Zhenwu Emperor's incarnation or clone, you must start from scratch, brick by brick. What’s more critical is that construction-related civil engineering spells are extremely easy to fail. To build such a temple in a short period of time, a large number of people are needed. Duke Chengguo was willing to allocate 30,000 elite troops in the midst of a fierce battle, which was a great support. After leaving Duke Chengguo's tent, Zhu Zhang immediately got to work. He personally took charge of the 30,000 elite troops and directed the construction of the Taoist temple. Five shamans began to perform Nuo operas in the army. The Great Emperor Zhenwu is in charge of military affairs. Some Nuo dance rituals dedicated to the Great Emperor Zhenwu have a great effect in boosting morale. The morale of hundreds of thousands of troops rose visibly. The only additional impact was the rumbling sound of war drums echoing in the space between the army camp and Yama City and the surrounding area. The Nuo dance of Zhenwu Emperor is a war dance! Of course, the one used is the war drum! Duke Cheng, who stood in the open, and Duke Jing, who stood in the dark, were very satisfied with this. Million Mountains, Outer Ring. Dapeng, Xueyan and Niu Ben were also very satisfied with the change in the situation. Dapeng is a demon cultivator with a demon body, also known as half demon and half devil. Dapeng played an extremely important role in the belief and worship of Yamaraja, and the establishment and development of Yama City. Therefore, Dapeng stood up and represented the demon cultivators on earth, Yamaraja and Yama City in the underworld, and ran around everywhere.

Exchanging interests with many forces in the core area and inner ring and forcing many forces in the outer ring to relocate will not arouse the slightest suspicion. All people, demons, monsters, ghosts, and even dark goblins believed that this was what Dapeng should do and what Dapeng could do. Xueyan is an evil cultivator, and the ancestor of the evil cultivator's blood refining method. Evil cultivators have always only focused on themselves and don't care about the affairs of the underworld. At most, they would join forces with a few ghost cultivators to jointly fight against the increasingly powerful demon cultivators. Therefore, it was understandable that Xueyan accepted Gui Lizong's request, approached the Lord of Mie Luo Mountain, and proposed a deal in order to test the quality of Youming Fengdu City, but did not put in his full effort. There is nothing to doubt. Niu Ben is a demon and a ghost cultivator, also known as half demon and half ghost. He is also a semi-public agent of the will of the Million Mountains. It roams among the major forces of demons, evil cultivators, and ghost cultivators. It is very versatile and is a welcome guest wherever it goes. Various forces such as demons, devils, evil cultivators, and ghosts often ask Niu Ben to be a lobbyist or do things for them. This time, Niu Ben was entrusted by Dapeng and was also working for the will of Baiwan Dashan. It was also a very normal thing for him to stop the blood swallow. It also did not arouse any suspicion. At this moment, Dapeng, Xueyan and Niu Ben gathered together. Xueyan and Niu Ben, who had been fighting fiercely not long ago, seemed to be planning to join forces to fight against Dapeng. Dapeng didn't care about it, he just asked coldly: "You stupid bull head, now you can tell me, why are you so active this time, what is your plan?" Niu Ben looked at Dapeng in astonishment, as if he was looking at a fool. "My plan has always been clear. Xueyan knows that I want to join the Dayong Dynasty. And I'm not proactive at all. I've always worked but not put in any effort." Dapeng sneered: "So, you think that you can accomplish this by representing the will of the Million Mountains and showing goodwill to the Dayong Dynasty from a distance?" "Of course not." Niu Ben responded seriously, then laughed, "But the Will of the Million Mountains is willing to pay. Do you know? In order to maintain its independence and to eliminate the so-called 'Way of the Million Mountains' created by the human race, it is willing to sell Hades to Dayong!" "Ok?" Earlier, when Niu Ben mentioned the "Million Mountains Heavenly Dao", Xueyan, who had glanced at it, let out a puzzled exclamation, expressing his confusion and shock. Just looking at the calm expression on her face, she didn't seem surprised at all. He's too lazy to even act. "I do not know." Dapeng's eyes flashed with a faint light, and he asked seriously, "So, you stupid bull head, which force on Dayong's side came to you this time, and made you and the will of the Million Mountains trust it so much?" Niu Ben crossed his arms across his chest, raised his head slightly, and put on an attitude of pride: "The most powerful force in this world more than a thousand years ago, the Taoist sect... Taiyi Sect!" "Taiyi Sect?" Xueyan couldn't hold it back this time and cried out in surprise. There was a person present, half demon, half ghost, half monster, half demon, who had lived for more than 1,500 years and had dealt with Taiyi Sect before.

At that time, the situation in Dayong was better than overseas, in the desert, on the ice field, and in the millions of mountains, but it was still only slightly better. The Taiyi Sect was a powerful force that had been able to dominate the universe for hundreds of years, but it had no intention of saving the world. On the one hand, it searched the whole world for talented people, and on the other hand, it half-closed the mountain gate to practice in seclusion. The reason why Taiyi Sect is able to dominate the universe is that it produces many sword masters. At that time, no one and no force dared to face the might of the three thousand sword immortals of Taiyi Sect descending from Tianshan alone. Until the emergence of Emperor Taizu of Dayong, he fought one battle after another and established the Dayong Dynasty and ushered in a peaceful era. The Taiyi Sect no longer has the reputation it once had. Even the sect's foundation was almost completely drained by Dayong Taizu. Even though Dapeng, Xueyan and Niu Ben are far away in the Million Mountains in the southwest and more than a thousand years have passed, they still cannot forget how powerful the Taiyi Sect was during its heyday! Therefore, when Xueyan heard that it was Taiyi Sect that contacted Niu Ben, he lost his composure. Dapeng seemed to have known some of the news in advance and was not as shocked as Xueyan. Xueyan noticed this in time and immediately asked, "Dapeng, has anyone or any force in Dayong contacted you?" Dapeng's eyelids drooped slightly: "Padmasambhava contacted me, and Baima Zen Temple also contacted me." “Padmasambhava?” Niu Ben repeated it and then laughed, "The people of Taiyi Sect told me that Padmasambhava might want to reproduce but modify the story in the Buddhist scriptures. It turned out to be true." When Xueyan heard this, the look in his eyes when he looked at Dapeng changed instantly. Among the stories related to Dapeng in Buddhist scriptures, the most famous one is the one about the Buddha Mother Peacock King. It’s a replica but also a magical modification. You can guess it with just a little thought. It is nothing more than letting Dapeng swallow Yamaraja, and then a Yama will be born from its belly. In the Buddhist tradition practiced by Padmasambhava, Yama is the incarnation of Manjushri, and there are three types of Yama: outer Yama, inner Yama, and secret Yama. Among them, the outer Yama is accompanied by his naked consort "Salmandi", which is closely related to the Buddhist teachings practiced by Padmasambhava. Therefore, Xueyan was not surprised that Padmasambhava would find Dapeng, but... it felt weird. He wanted to laugh but was afraid that he would completely offend Dapeng after laughing. After all, Dapeng is a male bird! Niu Ben then said, "The people of Taiyi Sect also said that the White Horse Temple had also received secret information from the court and would definitely send someone to intervene in the situation in Baiwan Mountain. I thought they would look for the old lion, the old elephant, or the poisonous snake. I didn't expect that they would look for you. People say that I, Old Niu, have a wide range of friends, and Dapeng, you are not bad either." Dapeng ignored Niu Ben's subtle sarcasm and looked at Xueyan: "Niu Tou and I both have ulterior motives, what about you? You evil cultivators are not considered as fellows by Dayong, and will be killed if you get the chance. What are you seeking by jumping up and down this time and getting involved in matters related to the Netherworld?" Xueyan laughed and said, "Of course, I want to help those of you who want to escape from Baiwan Mountain and find a good home as soon as possible. Then..." At this point, the smile on Xueyan's face disappeared, and his expression became solemn: "There has never been a so-called 'Heavenly Way of the Million Mountains', there is only the will of the Million Mountains. That puppet was created with only one purpose, which is to gather all the filthy things in the Million Mountains that are not under the will of the Million Mountains, and then find a time to remove them all. Now... the time has come." The solemn expression on Xueyan's face turned into a ferocious one: "Hades, Osiris, Yamaraja, and you, damned Bullhead, are all filthy things to the will of millions of mountains. Therefore, taking advantage of this opportunity, the Will of the Millions of Mountains will destroy the dark goblins, cut ties with you, the group of demon cultivators who created Yamaraja, abandon the ghost cultivators who first created the Lord of Dadong Mountain and then created Fengdu, and throw the dying Hades and Osiris to Dayong.

Doesn’t Dayong want the power of the underworld? Give it all. The will of a million mountains only needs one million mountains that completely belong to it. We evil cultivators only want a mountain with millions of square meters of land that we can occupy alone." "We evil cultivators are the ones who are truly trusted by the will of the millions of mountains!" (End of this chapter)
