The chanting of the Divine Halls of West-Hill had stopped, but the chanting of these strange people was still going on. Looking at their bamboo hats and the faint smell of fish, the headmaster of the Revelation Institute finally guessed who they were. His face turned even paler. Without any hesitation, he shouted with blood dripping from the corner of his mouth, "I will obey your orders! Break! "
This shout was the first sentence of the first paragraph of the West-Hill Scripture on Birth to the World. It was integrated with his Knowing Destiny State cultivation and decades of chanting classics, so it was naturally extraordinary.
The chanting in front of the altar finally came to a complete stop. However, what made the Dean's heart palpitate was that these people's chanting didn't come to an abrupt end after his shout. Instead, it was like a fisherman's song, dragging out a long, smooth, and divine note before it ended.
"It's been six hundred years." The headmaster of the Revelation Institute looked at the dozen people in front of the altar and said with a pale face, "It's been six hundred years. Why did you come back?"
Standing in front of the group was an old man with a dark face and deep wrinkles, like leather that had been pressed down by a heavy object for a long time. He had a short and sparse beard and a calm look in his eyes. He looked like an old farmer who had seen all the joys and sorrows of the world. But because of the faint smell of the sea, he looked more like an old fisherman.
The old man said, "We belong to Haotian Taoism. Why can't we return to the Divine Halls of West-Hill?"
The headmaster of the Revelation Institute was silent for a moment and asked, "May I know your name?"
"Zhao Nanhai, from the South Sea." The old man looked at him and said, "The Rite to Light is held on the Peach Mountain. The Divine Hall of Light should be the host. Since when is it the Divine Hall of Revelation? The South Sea is the direct descendant of the Divine Hall of Light. Since the Great Divine Priest of Light is empty, I have to come back to preside. "
The guests at the Rite to Light today were either powerful cultivators or nobles in the secular world. They all had some understanding of the hidden history of Haotian Taoism. Hearing this, many people had already guessed the origin of this person. They were shocked and wondered if he was really a descendant of the Great Divine Priest of the South Sea.
The Divine Halls of West-Hill was the center of Haotian Taoism's rule. The Hierarch was the leader of the three Great Divine Priests of Light, Revelation, and Judgment. The hierarch was in charge of all affairs. The Great Divine Priest of Revelation was in charge of perceiving Haotian's decree and cultivating Divine Priests. The Great Divine Priest of Judgment was in charge of maintaining the order of Haotian Taoism, carrying out punishments and killing traitors and cultivators of the Devil's Doctrine. All of them had great authority. Only the Great Divine Priest of Light had no specific duties, but he was the most transcendent existence.
The Great Divine Priest of Light was regarded as the mortal closest to Haotian. He was ranked first among the Three Great Divine Priests and even had a prestige no less than that of the hierarch. There was even a saying that there was no hierarch in the West-Hill Divine Palace before the first year of Dazhi more than three thousand years ago. The emergence of the hierarch was because Haotian Taoism tried to suppress the products of the school of light.
For a thousand years, the three most powerful people in the West-Hill Divine Palace were all from the Divine Hall of Light. The first one was the Great Divine Priest of Light who brought the "Ming" Handscroll of the Tomes of Arcane to the Wilderness and eventually founded the Enlightenment Doctrine. The most recent one was Wei Guangming, who had been imprisoned in the You Prison for more than ten years and had died together with Yan Se.
The last one was the owner of the Divine Hall of Light six hundred years ago. The Great Divine Priest of Light studied the West-Hill scriptures since he was a child and was highly respected. He went to the Zhishou Abbey to read three volumes of the Tomes of Arcane. Haotian Taoism thought that he would become the next Abbey Dean of the Zhishou Abbey. However, who would have thought that he had a chance to read the Buddha's notes and was enlightened. He began to try to comment and revise the West-Hill scriptures that had been passed down for countless years.
This was a huge project and also made Haotian Taoism feel uneasy. The scriptures were taught by Haotian. How could they be revised at will? At that time, the Great Divine Priests of Judgment and Revelation and the hierarch all objected to his approach. They thought that he had gone astray. In the end, the academic disagreement gradually turned into a power struggle.
The Great Divine Priest of Light's state was unfathomable. Whether it was in cultivation state or in debating, he was not at a disadvantage when he fought against the three of them alone. There was also a fierce struggle within the Divine Hall.
Wei Guangming escaped from the You Prison and there were countless casualties on the Peach Mountain. Before that, the civil strife caused by the revision of the scriptures six hundred years ago was the most tragic period in the history of the West-Hill Divine Palace.
The civil strife in the Divine Hall was so terrible that it affected Haotian Taoism's control over the human world. The Zhishou Abbey, which was hidden from the world, had to take action. However, even the Abbey Dean and those reclusive elders could not tell who was right and who was wrong. At this moment, they could only make what they thought was the most correct judgment.
Haotian Taoism did not allow the Great Divine Priest of Light to revise the West-Hill scriptures and asked him and the dozen priests in red who were loyal to him to leave the Peach Mountain. However, they recognized his orthodox position.
The Great Divine Priest of Light then left the Peach Mountain and went to the South Sea to preach. He made a great vow that unless Haotian sent a miracle or Haotian Taoism admitted its mistake, he would never step on land!
After that, there was occasionally news from the South Sea. Some people floated on the sea in boats and went back and forth between the small islands to preach to the undeveloped savages. The news kept coming back to land. The preacher did not feel tired or tired for many years and was honored as the Great Divine Priest of the South Sea. It was not until decades later that the news of his death came.
The West-Hill Divine Palace always knew that the Great Divine Priest of the South Sea was the Great Divine Priest of Light who had left the Peach Mountain. When they heard of his death, they could not help but feel sad and left an official memorial tablet for him in the Divine Hall.
This was the origin of the Great Divine Priest of the South Sea.
After the death of the Great Divine Priest of the South Sea, there was little news of someone preaching on the sea. Later, there was even no news coming back to land. The West-Hill Divine Palace thought that the priests who followed him had already left or disappeared. Now that more than six hundred years had passed, they thought that the lineage of light in the South Sea had already been broken.
Who would have thought that the Great Divine Priest of the South Sea had a successor and had returned to the Peach Mountain!
The people around the altar were extremely shocked, especially the priests and deacons in the Divine Hall who knew about the past. Their expressions were extremely complicated. After six hundred years, these people actually came back!
Not everyone did not know that the lineage of the Great Divine Priest of the South Sea had not been broken. For example, Ye Hongyu knew very well that Chen Pipi's mother was a direct descendant of the Great Divine Priest. The Hierarch also knew about this.
The veil on the sacred sedan fluttered slightly. In the boundless light, the Hierarch leaned forward slightly. He did not speak, nor did he look at the guests from the South Sea. Instead, he looked at Chen Pipi quietly.
Half of Chen Pipi's blood was from the South Sea. So why did these people from the South Sea appear on the Peach Mountain today? Did they want to save him?
The Headmaster of the Revelation Institute wiped the blood off the corner of his mouth and looked at the old man of the South Sea called Zhao Nanhai. He said in a low voice, "Even though you belong to Taoism, do not forget the vow that the Great Divine Priest of the South Sea made when he left the Peach Mountain."
Zhao Nanhai said emotionlessly, "We of the South Sea have never expected you rotten people living on the Peach Mountain to admit your mistakes. But since you dare to hold the Rite to Light, it means that Haotian has sent a miracle. We have returned from the South Sea. How have we broken the vow?"
The Headmaster of the Revelation Institute did not know how to answer.
The Rite to Light was paused. The West-Hill Scripture to Heaven was not finished. The light that fell on the white stone altar gradually dimmed. Chen Pipi felt the pressure gradually disappear. The melting Snow Mountain and Ocean of Qi and even his internal organs stabilized. Only then did he realize that he was pulled back from the brink of death.
He looked at the people from the South Sea in front of the altar and found them not familiar. He was very young when he left the South Sea. He had no memory of those people and the things that happened in the past.
However, he knew that these people were his mother's relatives. In other words, these people were his relatives. Logically speaking, the people from the South Sea had saved his life, and they were also his relatives. At this time, he should be more excited, or at least show some gratitude.
But Chen Pipi did not. He just looked at them quietly. Even if he could not remember anything, he still remembered that these people preached on the Difficult Sea. They did not care about anything except preaching. They were as cold to themselves and to others as the sea.
He had forgotten what his mother said before she died. But now that he thought about it, if the people from the South Sea did not want to return to Peach Mountain, why would they send his mother to his father?
Chen Pipi was very clear that the people of the Great Divine Priest of the South Sea did not return to Peach Mountain to save him. Even if there was a reason, it must be related to his father.
The people of the Great Divine Priest of the South Sea returning to Peach Mountain seemed to be able to win back the control of Haotian Taoism for the Zhishou Abbey. However, his father should know that she was in the Divine Hall of Light.
As long as she was in the human world, anyone who dared to challenge the West-Hill Divine Palace could only die. Not to mention these descendants of the South Sea, even if the Great Divine Priest of Light came back to life 600 years ago.
What did his father want to do?
…
…
There was a bamboo couch by the lake in the Zhishou Abbey.
The Abbey Dean lay on the couch, holding something in his hand. He looked in the direction of Peach Mountain outside the walls of the abbey. The middle-aged Taoist was brewing tea by the couch. Long Qing was reading the Tomes of Arcane in the hut across the lake.
The middle-aged Taoist poured the tea and gently placed it by the couch.
The Abbey Dean slowly took the teacup with his new fingers and took a sip.
The middle-aged Taoist looked in the direction of Peach Mountain. After a long silence, he said, "What a pity."
The Abbey Dean knew that his Younger Brother meant two things.
On the day when the Headmaster ascended to Heaven by the Sishui River, he stepped down from Heaven and crushed the green mountain behind the abbey. All the hidden masters of Haotian Taoism were killed. From that moment on, the focus of Haotian Taoism had shifted from the Zhishou Abbey to the West-Hill Divine Palace. Because power had nothing to do with faith, but only with power.
He was still there, and the Zhishou Abbey was still the leader of Haotian Taoism. But now he was useless. Although the middle-aged Taoist was in a high state, it was not enough to intimidate Haotian Taoism. So the Zhishou Abbey was destroyed.
The middle-aged Taoist said it was a pity that the real power of the Zhishou Abbey was crushed by the Headmaster. The second was a pity for the Great Divine Priests of the South Sea on Peach Mountain.
Because she was in the human world. She was on Peach Mountain.
"I don't think it's a pity."
The Abbey Dean threw the thing in his hand on the ground beside the couch. It should be some hard object. Then he looked at the ground and said, "She can't win, at least not today."
The middle-aged Daoist looked over and saw two pieces of old ox bones, one upside down and one upside down on the ground.
This was it.
