Chapter 342 Asking for help
"Nine Secrets?"
"The secret of the character zhezhe?"
Two questions arose in the minds of the abbot of Changsheng Temple, Taoist Sanque and others at the same time!
Some of Ziwei's inheritance is seriously missing.
They have never heard of the Nine Secrets!
I don’t even know what the word “zhe” among the nine secrets means!
"What? Haven't you heard of the Nine Secrets? Don't you know the secret of the word 'zhe'?"
Phoenix Goddess saw the confusion on their faces and continued to speak subconsciously.
She didn't mean to mock Taoist Sanque and others for being ignorant!
Facing this question from Lady Huang, Taoist Sanque and the others all shook their heads.
Then the abbot of Changsheng Temple spoke.
"We have never heard of the Nine Secrets!"
"Perhaps there are some records about this in some old books in the temple, or perhaps some of the ancestors in the temple know this information."
After that, he asked Lu Zhou and the others humbly what the Nine Secrets were and what the "Zhe" Secret was.
"The Nine Secrets refer to the nine supreme magic arts of Taoism, namely, Lin Bing Dou Zhe Jue Xiang Xian Dao, which were created by the Nine Heavenly Lords of the mythological era. Each of the Nine Secrets represents the pinnacle of a field. It is said that if the nine secrets are combined into one, they will have a shocking power."
"As for the secret of the word 'zhe', it was created by the Heavenly Lord Changsheng. This magic is the supreme magic for healing, and it also has some magical effects in prolonging life. I guess this is one of the reasons why the Heavenly Lord's Taoist name is 'Changsheng'."
Seeing that Lu Zhou had no objection, Huang Tiannv simply gave some information about the Nine Secrets and the Secret of "Zhe" to everyone in Mingling Changsheng Temple.
Hearing these words uttered from her red lips, Taoist Sanque and others were truly excited.
After all, before this, Phoenix Goddess had already told them that the half page of the ancient divine scripture in their hands was actually a part of the secret of the word "zhe".
How can they remain calm?
just
They are numb and distressed!
Because this half page of the secret word has been in their hands for quite some time, but they have been guarding the treasure in vain without being able to obtain it.
There is nothing more fucked up in this world than this!
Especially after they heard from Phoenix Goddess that the ancient divine scripture, which they had always regarded as a priceless treasure and carefully collected, had actually been obtained by Lu Zhou a long time ago and passed on to his followers and maids.
The people at Mingling Changsheng Temple felt even more fucked up!
So, what we value so highly in our eyes, can actually be used as a reward in your hands, Lu Zhou?
From this aspect alone, everyone in Mingling Changsheng Temple, including Taoist Sanque, couldn't help but look up to Lu Zhou even more.
'It seems that we have to contact the Royal Palace again to exchange the ancient scriptures. We should combine the ancient scriptures. Only in this way can we obtain the secret of the word "zhe"!'
While they were thinking about these things, the four words "Eternal Heavenly Venerable" couldn't help but echo in their minds.
"Could it be that our Mingling Changsheng Temple was actually founded by the Changsheng Tianzun from the mythical era?"
"Even if it wasn't created by that Heavenly Venerable, it might have been created by a patriarch who inherited some of the teachings from that Heavenly Venerable."
They couldn't help but think so.
After all, judging from the current situation, their Mingling Changsheng Temple seems to have a very close connection with that Heavenly Venerable.
The Taoist sect they belong to is not only named "Eternal Life" and focuses on the Sutra of Longevity, but also their Changsheng Temple has obtained a part of the secret of "Zhe" created by the Changsheng Tianzun.
Now they invited Lu Zhou to visit their Changsheng Temple and tour the temple with him.
They listened to Lu Zhou talking to them about the Immortal Lord, and asked them if they had heard of him.
Obviously, Lu Zhou also seemed to think that their concept of longevity might be related to the Immortal Lord of the mythological era.
Because of all these things, it is inevitable that they will make some associations!
Lu Zhou had no interest in what they thought.
Is this Mingling Changsheng Temple standing in Ziwei really related to the Changsheng Tianzun who once led the dark turmoil, attacked many people who were about to become enlightened, and is still lurking in the forbidden area of the Immortal Mausoleum?
Lu Zhou also had no interest in this.
In comparison, he was somewhat interested in Taoist Sanque.
But it’s just a little, not much!
Finally, Lu Zhou stayed at Changsheng Temple for a few days and discussed Taoism with the two old Zhandao Kings there.
When he was about to leave Changsheng Temple with Xia Jiuyou and others, he looked at Taoist Sanque who came to see them off.
Lu Zhou once said to him.
"You're not bad. Do you want to go with me to see the wider world outside Ziwei?"
He extended an olive branch to Taoist Sanque!
In the original book, there was not much mention of Taoist Sanque.
The future of Taoist Sanque was only briefly mentioned when Ye Fan was about to break through to become a Great Sage and return to Ziwei to look for his little girl.
Taoist Cheng Sanque, like Yi Qingwu, had long left Ziwei and should have also embarked on the path to become the emperor!
As for his ending, perhaps, Taoist Sanque encountered a powerful enemy on the road to becoming emperor and died somewhere.
Or maybe, his faith in Taoism was broken, and he finally went into seclusion somewhere, or after returning to Ziwei, he completely retired!
In short, in Lu Zhou’s memory, he didn’t know what the future fate of Taoist Sanque would be.
But now, he knew the true cultivation level of Taoist Sanque, which was based on the Saint Lord level in the late second stage of the Immortal Realm, and possessed the combat power of the Seven Forbidden Realms.
Such an existence is barely qualified to become his Lu Zhou's follower.
Unfortunately, after hearing what Lu Zhou said, Taoist Sanque refused without even thinking about it!
Just like when Lu Zhou was on Earth, there are now quite a few people in Ziwei who all know that there are only two ways to follow Lu Zhou and leave Ziwei to travel outside the domain.
Either become Lu Zhou's maid or become Lu Zhou's follower.
Not everyone is as lucky as Li Tian and Yan Yixi. Because of some nepotism, Lu Zhou nodded and was willing to take them to Beidou.
Taoist Sanque is very determined to prove his truth. He does not want to become a vassal of others, at least not now!
So he refused!
Lu Zhou was not angry even though he was rejected by Taoist Sanque.
His tolerance is not that narrow.
I just hope that Taoist Sanque will not regret his choice today in the future!
Lu Zhou didn't say anything else. After saying goodbye to the monks from Changsheng Temple who had come to see him off, he took Jiang Tingting and others and rushed to Ziwei Divine Dynasty!
"Meet Brother Lu and Brother Ye."
It was Princess Yueshi of the Ziwei Divine Dynasty, who was greeting Lu Zhou and the others with a smile.
The people from the Ziwei Divine Dynasty had been waiting halfway to welcome Lu Zhou and his party.
After a brief greeting, Lu Zhou and his companions continued their journey towards the Ziwei Divine Dynasty under the guidance of Princess Yue Shi and other royal relatives of the Divine Dynasty.
Needless to say, when Lu Zhou and his party arrived at the Ziwei Divine Dynasty, they were also received with extremely high courtesy.
Looking at the magnificent divine city in front of him with palaces in clusters, rows of halls and crowds of people, Lu Zhou felt a little emotional.
Who could have imagined that more than a hundred years later, this incomparably magnificent imperial city, this huge Ziwei Divine Dynasty, would become a barren ruin, and would be completely obliterated in the long river of time!
At the banquet, Lu Zhou and the current emperor of Ziwei Dynasty sat together at the top.
Thinking about this, his eyes suddenly fell on an old man who looked quite like an immortal!
This old man was not the first time Lu Zhou had seen him.
As early as when he was still in the Sun Divine Dynasty, this old man had visited Lu Zhou together with a group of royal relatives from the Ziwei Divine Dynasty.
He is the old imperial teacher in the original novel who, before his death, used up all his life's practice to calculate that a divine baby would be born in the Ziwei Divine Dynasty and that the Divine Dynasty would prosper.
Lu Zhou could feel that the old national teacher's life span was really not long. Under his celestial appearance, he clearly exuded a smell of decay. Seeing Lu Zhou looking at him, the old national teacher retracted his dazed gaze that had been fixed on Xiao Nannan many times.
At this time, he heard Lu Zhou smiling at him.
"I saw that when you were in the Sun God Dynasty, you seemed to pay a lot of attention to my sister. I wonder why?"
After hearing what Lu Zhou said, everyone in the hall couldn't help but look at the old state teacher.
Including the old national teacher, the expressions on many people's faces changed slightly.
They were afraid that this behavior would anger Lu Zhou!
The old national teacher hurriedly began to explain.
"Please don't blame me, I have no sneaky intentions. It's just that every time I see your sister, I feel that she seems to have a good affinity with our Ziwei Divine Dynasty."
After hearing what he said, many people became curious, even the little girl.
She stopped enjoying the food on the table, opened her cute and innocent big eyes, and looked at the old imperial teacher curiously.
Lu Zhou was also very curious about what he said.
By the way, there are quite a few holes that have not been filled in "The Great Ruler".
Lu Zhou has always been very curious about why Xiao Nannan appeared in Ziwei Divine Dynasty in the original novel instead of somewhere else.
It seems that it doesn’t matter whether this part of the plot exists or not, and it will not affect the main storyline.
If he had to force an explanation, would it be to give Ye Fan a reason to come to the ancient star Ziwei to break through when he was about to break through to become a Great Sage?
So that it doesn't look so abrupt?
Or, is it to let Ye Fan come to Ziwei to help Ye Tong take revenge?
Maybe so!
But Lu Zhou would rather believe that this was an unfilled pit, which was dug when Ye Fan first came to the Ziwei Ancient Star.
Now I heard from the old national teacher that every time he saw little Nannan, he felt that she had a strong affinity with the Ziwei Divine Dynasty.
Lu Zhou became interested and wanted to hear what he would say.
Then Lu Zhou laughed again.
"Oh? Karma? What is Karma? Can you tell me about it?"
Perhaps seeing that Lu Zhou had no intention of blaming them, the old imperial teacher and some people from the Ziwei Divine Dynasty all breathed a sigh of relief.
But then, the old national teacher was in trouble again.
Because he doesn't know what the fate is.
He spoke the truth, perhaps because he was afraid that Lu Zhou would not believe him, so he swore to the sky and to the road, saying that what he said was absolutely true!
He said that it was just an inexplicable throbbing in his heart, he just had this feeling.
He also said that he could not deduce this, that there was a fog before his eyes and he could not see through anything.
Seeing this, Lu Zhou did not continue to ask questions. At the banquet, the atmosphere gradually became lively again. People were drinking and chatting about everything under the sun, discussing the past and the present.
There was an endless supply of fairy wine and delicacies, served by beautiful maids.
There were beauties from the royal dynasty dressed in colorful clothes, dancing and playing music for everyone at the banquet!
However, on the second day after the feast ended, the people of Ziwei Dynasty heard bad news.
All the powerful figures of the Ziwei Dynasty rushed to the Imperial Master's Mansion as soon as they heard the sad news.
Because the old imperial teacher of the Ziwei Dynasty passed away!
When Lu Zhou suddenly heard the news, he was also stunned.
Although in the original novel, the old imperial teacher of the Ziwei Dynasty died around the same time that Ye Fan was in seclusion at the North Sea Spring, there is no mention of the exact day.
But Lu Zhou clearly sensed at the banquet yesterday that although the old national teacher exuded an aura of old age and decay all over his body, his life span was already not long.
But according to Lu Zhou's inference, if nothing unexpected happens, this old national teacher should be able to live for another one or two years.
But now, he passed away the day after the banquet.
This made Lu Zhou a little curious.
With this question in mind, he rushed to the Imperial Master's Mansion together with Princess Yue Shi, who had always personally accompanied him on his tours of the Divine Dynasty's imperial capital.
Lu Zhou was not the only one who was curious about why the old national teacher suddenly passed away.
Princess Yue Shi also knew that the old imperial teacher should have one or two years left to live, so she was also very curious about it.
Perhaps, those dignitaries of the Divine Dynasty who rushed to the National Master's Mansion after hearing the news were in such a hurry for this reason!
Not long after, Lu Zhou, Princess Yue Shi and others arrived at the Imperial Master's Mansion.
At this moment, the atmosphere in the Imperial Master's Mansion seemed very strange.
Amid the solemnity, there was an extremely strong sense of oppression.
The dignitaries who arrived at the Imperial Master's Mansion first, including the current emperor of the Ziwei Divine Dynasty, all had very ugly expressions on their faces, revealing a solemnity that was not concealed at all.
At the same time, along the way, the Imperial Master's Mansion had already been heavily guarded, and there was a murderous aura in the air.
When Lu Zhou showed up, everyone in the Imperial Master's Mansion immediately focused their attention on Lu Zhou.
Those gazes made Lu Zhou, Ye Fan and others feel quite strange.
It was as if the person who was about to drown suddenly saw his savior.
This made Lu Zhou, Ye Fan, Jiang Tingting and others all quite confused.
Just as they were puzzled, the next scene made Ye Fan, Princess Yue Shi and the others completely stunned.
Because, the current emperor of Ziwei Divine Dynasty suddenly knelt down in front of everyone present and paid homage to Lu Zhou.
He asked Lu Zhou for help.
"Please, fellow Taoist, save our Divine Dynasty and the hundreds of millions of people in our Divine Dynasty."
Before Lu Zhou helped him up, the other monks of the Ziwei Divine Dynasty followed the emperor, knelt down in front of Lu Zhou, and bowed deeply to ask for help.
They shouted, "Please Lu Zhou, save the Ziwei Divine Dynasty and the hundreds of millions of Dawn people of the Ziwei Divine Dynasty!"
Ye Fan and the others were stunned and had no idea what was going on!
Princess Yueshi was also confused and didn't know what was going on.
Why would her father and other important figures of the Ziwei Divine Dynasty suddenly perform this scene?
Although she was confused and her face changed, she didn't know why it happened, but as a princess of the Ziwei Divine Dynasty, at this moment, she still followed the pace of her father and others, and knelt down to Lu Zhou and begged for help.
Seeing all this, Lu Zhou thought that he might have guessed why this happened!
