Xu Xian frowned as he heard cries of alarm coming from all directions. They gathered together and surged into the sky, but they could not stop the bright moonlight from being eaten away by the shadows bit by bit. The entire capital fell into panic because of this strange phenomenon in the sky.
This was the so-called Heavenly Dog Engulfing the Moon.
Although Xu Xian knew that there was no such thing as a Tengu in this world, this scene was even more terrifying than a myth.
He originally thought that the power of the Moon Spirit was at its weakest at the beginning and end of the month, or at the time of sunset, because the moon was no longer in the sky at that time.
However, he was wrong. Just like how the power of the Sun Spirit still existed at night, the moon at that time was just invisible to humans. However, it still spread its power to the world, allowing humans to absorb and use it, just that it was relatively weak.
However, the formation of the lunar eclipse was due to the Earth's shadow blocking the sun's light. The moon's light lost its source and was no longer the bright moon that tens of thousands of people looked up to. It returned to being an ordinary stone, no longer possessing any magic power. The power of the moon spirit had disappeared.
At this moment, the sun and moon lost their light.
The huge shadow quickly swallowed the earth, swallowing everything.
On the peak of the Forbidden City, the Taiyin Immortal looked up at the sky and smiled. Then, he laughed out loud.
He had calculated all the mysteries of heaven, but he had only predicted that there would be a death tribulation during the Heavenly Tribulation, but he had never expected that there would be a lunar eclipse today.
The reason why he couldn't divine it was because what he was doing was going against humanity, the thoughts of all living beings interfered with the divination of heaven's secrets.
But if he could calculate that it was the eclipse of the moon, he only needed to travel a few tens of thousands of miles and he might be able to avoid it. Even if he couldn't avoid it, he could at least reduce the duration of the eclipse.
If everything went as expected, this was the very center of the lunar eclipse, where they would have to endure the longest night.
However, if he could predict the lunar eclipse, he wouldn't need to come to the capital and do something that went against humanity. His calculation of heavenly secrets wouldn't have been disrupted.
Will of Heaven and Will of Man?
Why?
What is the effect?
His thoughts were thrown into chaos in that instant, but it was as if he had touched upon the most profound and profound rules of the universe.
The moonlight was completely swallowed, and the power of the moon spirits in the world quickly dissipated. However, there was no fear in Taiyin Spiritual Master's eyes. Instead, he was full of smiles.
If it wasn't for this kind of Heavenly Tribulation, why would it be worth it to undergo it? If one could easily ascend to become an Immortal, it would instead make him look down on the word "Heavenly Immortal".
The tribulation clouds were still condensing, blotting out the sky and covering the earth, constantly pressing down. It was not as swift as the minor heavenly tribulation, but it was even more oppressive.
Moreover, it seemed to have a trace of spirituality and was staring at Taiyin Zhenren deeply, waiting for the remaining power of the Moon Spirit in the world to completely dissipate so that he would be completely trapped in this death tribulation.
The Grand Yin Daoist closed his eyes.
In every corner of the palace, the nine bronze cauldrons began to tremble slightly. Each cauldron was engraved with different famous mountains and rivers, as if they were going to collect everything in the world.
If Bai Suzhen was here, she would definitely be able to recognize the name of this cauldron — King Yu's Nine Cauldrons.
Yu the Great, near the end of the prehistoric era, was an ancient almighty who possessed the power of a deity. With his great divine power, he subdued the demonic dragon and calmed the flood. He established the first dynasty of China, Xia, and became the first emperor of the nine prefectures.
He was the one who divided the world into nine prefectures and ordered the prefectural overseers of the nine prefectures to contribute bronze to forge the nine cauldrons. He engraved the famous mountains and rivers of the nine prefectures, as well as the strange objects on the nine cauldrons. Each cauldron symbolized a prefecture, and the nine cauldrons were gathered in the capital of Xia.
Thus, the nine prefectures became China, and the nine cauldrons were the symbol of the supremacy of the monarchy and the prosperity of the country.
The nine cauldrons represented the world.
All of a sudden, the nine cauldrons released a bright light together. The light pillar connected the sky and the earth, like the heavenly pillar of the ancient legends. It supported the falling sky, and the unceasingly pressing tribulation clouds were also supported.
Within the light pillar, countless images appeared. There was the great river flowing east, the Yellow River rolling, the five mountains holding up the sky, and the vast plains.
But there were even more scenes of the common people living and living: fishermen on the bow of the boat casting their fishing nets, farmers waving their sickles under the blazing sun, merchants driving their horses and carriages on the streets, and scholars drinking wine on the tall buildings.
When all of these were put together, they formed the nine prefectures.
This was not an ordinary technique, but the power of faith gathered from the masses.
What the Taiyin Spiritual Master did was against the human way, but the technique he used was to use the human way to fight against the heavenly way.
However, this was not enough. The tribulation clouds held up the light pillar and continued to press down bit by bit.
In the plaza outside the main hall, the officials panicked and looked up at the sky. Even though they were all shrewd, they were no different from mortals when faced with the fear of the unknown.
Among the three leaders, King Liang cried out, "The sky is going to collapse." At this moment, the entire sky seemed like it was going to collapse and cover everyone's heads.
King Pan's face was full of fear, and his heart was filled with anxiety.
Only Wang Wenhui remained kneeling on the ground. His expression was as calm as ever, and the spiritual light above his head grew brighter and brighter. It was not spiritual power obtained from cultivation, but a spirituality in the human heart.
In ancient times, the spiritual light above the head of the virtuous and virtuous could shine for hundreds of miles, and it could ward off ghosts and deities.
Even though he was not as virtuous and virtuous as the ancient times, he was not far from it.
No matter how bold the officials were, they only relied on their numbers, and Emperor Jia Yu did not dare to punish them too harshly.
In the face of this unspeakable heavenly might, many people began to think of retreating.
Wang Wenhui suddenly stood up and said sternly to the officials, "Everyone, have you forgotten why we are here?
Confucius said to die for a righteous cause, and Meng said to seek justice. If we are not afraid of death, what is there to be afraid of? "
The officials were ashamed, but they were also infected by his unyielding spirit. They all returned to their original positions and straightened their bodies. Even those who were afraid of death did not dare to say anything.
However, the Taiyin Spiritual Master looked down from above and smiled.
In the main hall, Emperor Jia Yu sat on the dragon throne. There was not a single candle in the large hall, and it was pitch-black.
A giant golden dragon rose from his body and flew towards the Taiyin Spiritual Master.
This golden dragon had form but no shadow, as if it was condensed from a faintly discernible yet heavy aura. That was the faith of all living beings.
Faith was originally formless, but in the hearts of all living beings, it was the image of the true dragon and son of heaven. Thus, the intangible faith also took on a concrete form.
In the eyes of the Taiyin Spiritual Master, ribbons of light extended from the officials and merged into the golden dragon, making the golden dragon appear larger and stronger. Meanwhile, the golden dragon slowly merged into his body.
He was originally one of the sons of heaven of this dynasty, and he also received the full support of the current son of heaven. Thus, he was able to use the strongest power of humanity in the world.
The officials who knelt here to oppose the Taiyin Spiritual Master were all important officials of the foundation of this country, and their fate had long merged into one with the fate of this country.
At this moment, their actions seemed to become a mysterious ritual, helping the Taiyin Spiritual Master.
However, at this moment, many Kongming lanterns floated over from an unknown place. Even in the strong wind, they still floated steadily. Thousands of lanterns, like stars rising from the sky, faintly enveloped the Taiyin Spiritual Master and stopped him from moving.
The arrangement of these sky lanterns, some high, some low, some far, some near, seemed to be disorderly, but there seemed to be a hidden order in their eyes.
Only by looking down from the sky could one see clearly that all the Kongming lanterns formed a three-dimensional figure — a giant Seven Star Lantern.
And under the cover of this lantern, the golden dragon in the hall no longer merged into the body of the Taiyin Spiritual Master.
The Taiyin Spiritual Master smiled slightly. "Finally." With a thought, the golden dragon swam.
…
Xu Xian pondered for a while while facing the sky, then lowered his head and put away his thoughts. This matter did not allow him to interfere, and it was useless to worry. Instead, it was better to let go of his thoughts.
Although his body could resist the Heavenly Tribulation, he was not arrogant enough to think that he, an Earth Immortal, could help the Taiyin Spiritual Master resist the major Heavenly Tribulation.
That was completely different from the Heavenly Tribulation. Just a few weak lightning balls had almost taken his life. Perhaps even a random bolt of tribulation lightning in the Great Heavenly Tribulation would be enough to destroy his soul.
Xu Xian smiled and said, "Man proposes, God disposes. Everything depends on the will of Heaven.
We can't enjoy the moon, but we can enjoy the Heavenly Tribulation. "As he spoke, he distributed the mooncakes.
Pan Yu said, "I'm still worried about my Royal Father." Princess Rou Jia also showed a worried expression.
Xu Xian said, "Don't worry, the Heavenly Tribulation will only target the one undergoing the Heavenly Tribulation. Unless they release their spiritual energy to attract your Royal Father, they are all mortals, so there won't be a problem."
Pan Yu also relaxed and began to eat the mooncakes.
They did not have any connection with the Taiyin Spiritual Master, so they were not worried about his life.
And the scene at this time was indeed more spectacular than the full moon.
The food box was opened layer by layer, and Yun Yan said in surprise, "There's a letter here."
Xu Xian took a look, and sure enough, there was a colored letter at the bottom of the food box, and Xu Xian's name was written on it.
Yun Yan asked, "Sun 'er, do you know?"
Sun 'er nibbled on a chicken drumstick, and in the midst of being busy, she took the time to answer, "I don't know."
Yun Yan said with a smile, "Geese send great letters, fish pass on their ruler. This fish beauty must be secretly expressing her love for husband." Pan Yu also snorted softly.
Xu Xian smiled, "How could there be such a thing?"
He opened the letter, and there were many words written in small and graceful characters. When he read them carefully, he frowned.
Yu Xuanji did not say anything special in the letter, and only asked him to take good care of Sun 'er. But with such a simple meaning, she, who had always been concise, filled the entire piece of paper. In the end, she briefly mentioned what had happened in the past, and said, "Where is Ming Xi?
Travel together with you. "The meaning revealed made his heart cold.
Xu Xian grabbed Sun 'er's shoulder, "Sun' er, what did your master say when he told you to come?"
Sun 'er said, "Nothing much, he just told Sun' er to listen to you."
Xu Xian frowned, pacing back and forth in his original spot, a faint feeling of unease in his heart.
Pan Yu said, "Hanwen, what's the matter?"
"Look, it's the lanterns we made." Sun 'er jumped up and pointed to the sky happily.
"You guys made them?" Xu Xian raised his head, and with a flash of golden light, he saw the thousands of Kongming lanterns.
"Yes, I made them with those three freaks for a long time."
The unease in his heart grew stronger, and Xu Xian shook his head, "I have to go out for a while." After saying this, his figure turned into a flash of lightning and disappeared into the horizon.
Xu Xian stood in the empty house, and he did not know where Yu Xuanji had gone. His heart was also empty, and this reminded him of the feeling he had when he woke up from his dream last night.
Where did you go?
What do you want to do?
Why didn't you say it?
