Chapter 209: Divine weapons, all directions are destroyed!
Lü Buwei’s Lüshi Chunqiu says: All things come from Taiyi.

The Guodian Chu Bamboo Slips record that Taiyi gave birth to water: “Taiyi gave birth to water.”

The Lingshu Sutra says: Taiyi is the noble title of water. It is the mother of heaven and earth before all things, and the source of all things after all things.

The Bamboo Annals, Part I, records: Fuxi first determined the extent of the four seas, created the Eight Trigrams, divided the Nine Provinces, and established the Nine Palaces. Thus, the Nine Provinces were established… Taiyi is the North Star God. He descended to establish the palaces of the Trigrams, and returned to the center after four steps. The center is where the North Star resides, so it is called the Nine Palaces. When Taiyi descended, the Nine Palaces started from Kan, and from there to Kun Palace, Zhen Palace, and Xun Palace. So when half of it was completed, it returned to the center palace.

During the Han Dynasty, the Records of the Grand Historian recorded: “The most noble god in heaven is Taiyi, and Taiyi’s assistants are the Five Emperors. In ancient times, the emperor offered sacrifices to Taiyi in the eastern suburbs in spring and autumn.”

Then there is the celestial pole star in the center palace. The bright one is where Taiyi resides…and the one that is as vast as the sky and the earth, chaotic and simple, which creates things before they are created, is called Taiyi.

You may not see too many records about Taiyi, but one thing is absolutely undoubted.

Taiyi’s status is very high.

The origin of the custom of hanging lanterns during the Lantern Festival is related to the use of lights all night long to worship Donghuang Taiyi during the reign of Emperor Wu of Han.

Different North Stars have appeared in different eras, and are also called Taiyi, Tianyi, Di, Tianshu, etc.

Portraits of Donghuang Taiyi have been created throughout the ages.

The Donghuang Taiyi painted by Zhang Wo is an immortal wearing a tall hat and a wide belt, walking on the clouds; the Donghuang Taiyi painted by Xiao Yuncong is an emperor wearing a crown, holding a sword in his hand, and wearing a wide robe with big sleeves.

It is probably a symbol of the dual identities of immortal and emperor.

For such a great god, should we look at the story of Emperor Jun?
Mr. Bai thought about it for a while and decided to wait for a while… No matter what, at least Mr. Bai is not planning to bring Donghuang Taiyi out now.

If not Donghuang Taiyi, who else should we deal with…

Mr. Bai’s eyes rolled and he suddenly laughed.

Apart from Donghuang Taiyi and Di Jun, there are other characters in the demon clan that can be written about… At least, there is also a demon master.

Whether he is a demon master is another matter, but this heavyweight existence must not be let go.

Now, let this war end.

——

The battle above is in full swing.

And in the Hengduan Valley below.

Nangong Longhua and Zhao Qinghan rescued Ao Fei Ao Yun.

The two of them were seriously injured and almost died. Fortunately, the vitality of the dragon race is stronger than that of the human race, so even though there is no intact part of their body, they are still barely alive.

It’s just the battlefield over there…

“Taotie is related to Chiyou. I’m afraid the general is now trying to find a way to seal Taotie again.”

“With Baoer… Qiu joining the battle, the situation can be maintained, but it is definitely still a long way from victory.”

“We need to find a way to help them now…”

Of course Zhao Qinghan understood what Nangong Longhua said, but…

“There’s nothing we can do right now.”

No power, no method…

There is nothing to do but watch from here…

“No, it’s not that there is no way.”

Nangong Longhua looked at Zhao Qinghan and said, “We need to know where Taotie was sealed before and what sealed it. Since Emperor Shun dared to exile Taotie, he must have a way to deal with Taotie!”

“What we need to do now is to find this method!”

——It’s hidden in this Hengduan Valley!
“But…what should we do?”

Confused.

Nangong Longhua also knew that he was confused, but the important thing now was to move.

No matter if you have a direction or not, just get moving!
As long as you take action, you will definitely have a chance!

Upon hearing this, Zhao Qinghan also nodded.

Yes, there is nothing I can do sitting here. Instead of waiting to die, I might as well take a gamble!
Go check here to see if there is any way to fight against Taotie!

The two looked at each other and made up their minds.

And at this moment, suddenly, a light appeared on the side.

As if sensing their intentions, a gentle light descended from the sky.

This light… is so warm…

Just like a mother’s embrace.

Could this be…

The two of them looked up at the same time, and suddenly saw a figure in the sky. They couldn’t see its face clearly, but they could feel that it was smiling, smiling at them.

Then, something else popped into their minds.

this is……

map!?
It’s a map to a place!!
It is Nuwa, the goddess Nuwa is guiding us!
“go!”

Zhao Qinghan spoke briefly and to the point. As soon as he finished speaking, he headed in the direction indicated by the map without hesitation.

Nangong Longhua hurriedly dragged Ao Fei Ao Yun up and took him away.

The two of them were running at a very fast speed in the Hengduan Valley. They didn’t know how many mountains they had crossed. Anyway, they arrived at a place without stopping.

That’s a cave.

It was an ordinary-looking cave that could only accommodate a few people walking side by side.

The two looked at each other and walked inside.

The cave is not big and there doesn’t seem to be anything special inside.

Just go to the deepest part, to the very end inside.

Zhao Qinghan followed the guidance of Nuwa and chanted some magic.

Then the cave in front of me suddenly changed.

It’s like it changes from a solid object into a lake surface that can flow freely and create ripples.

Without hesitation, they walked in.

After passing through the rock wall, the two entered a completely new space.

“this place.”

The two of them looked at the scene in front of them and couldn’t help but open their eyes wide, revealing expressions of disbelief.

Here is… a cave.

A very big cave.

However, there are many corpses of various kinds in this cave, whether it is a dragon, a giant snake, or a giant turtle, each corpse is so huge that it is unimaginable.

Below them was deep, fetid black water, and before them was absolute darkness. What on earth was this?

“Is this the place where Taotie is sealed?”

“But why are there still corpses?”

“What happened to these bones?”

“And there’s nowhere to stay.”

Nangong Longhua looked carefully and found chains on all four sides of the wall.

“Look!”

He pointed over there, and Zhao Qinghan looked over there, and indeed saw a lot of chains.

Are these chains used to trap Taotie?
But how could a creature of Taotie’s level be trapped by just a chain?

“There is a very strong magic power on it. It should be a powerful person who has engraved the magic power on it.”

“And these corpses should have been left behind by Taotie.”

“Emperor Shun sent Taotie to cross the valley to suppress the rebellious people, but Taotie swallowed them all.”

“But these things need to be left behind to intimidate the monster group.” The corpses of the strong all have special uses.

Some of the dead strong men, their internal organs, bones, flesh and blood have been tempered to a certain level, which means they have the ability to be reborn with a drop of blood. Even a drop of blood can make a person very strong.

Even if such beings are dead, their corpses will definitely be of great use.

The first one is deterrence.

The dragon’s power remains even after its death, shocking the world.

It is very likely that these remains were left there intentionally.

So Emperor Shun successfully quelled the rebellion in the Hengduan Valley.

After that, we never confronted the human leader again.

It’s really amazing to be able to snatch food from the mouth of Taotie and leave these things.

But why was Taotie able to escape?
With these chains there, Taotie shouldn’t be able to escape.

Zhao Qinghan pulled up the chains. They were so heavy!
The chain is not big and even looks a little thin.

Honestly speaking, if there wasn’t some magical restraint on it, using such a thin thing to trap the Taotie would obviously be a bit disrespectful to the Taotie.

Well, without any magical restraint, no matter how big the thing is, it would be disrespectful to Taotie.

But the chain was very heavy, and even though she had already reached the fifth level of the Yang-embracing realm, she felt that she could not drag it.

In the end, they had to call Nangong Longhua to help, and they were able to barely pull this thing out.

The two looked at the end of the chain and found that the chain was not untied in the normal way, but was broken free.
Is there anyone who can rescue the Taotie that is sealed here?

who is it?

Who has the ability to do such a thing!

Emperor Si Tian?

The two of them thought of Emperor Si Tian almost immediately.

The only one who had the ability to fight against Emperor Shun and rescue Taotie without being killed by him was Emperor Si Tian.

but
Not like.

“The time doesn’t match up.”

“If the riot of Chiyou’s remains was caused by Taotie breaking the seal, then Taotie should have come out to kill everyone long ago.”

Given Taotie’s character, it would be totally wrong for him to go out and not satisfy his appetite, but to burn, kill and loot everywhere.

But Taotie has only appeared now, that is to say.
“Two possibilities.”

One possibility is that someone rescued Taotie and forced him here to not let him out. Only now did he allow Taotie to get out.

If it is the first possibility, then who rescued Taotie? And who has such great ability to make Taotie so obedient?

And why must he let Taotie appear now?

The other possibility is that Taotie had been sleeping before, so there was no movement. Until now, Taotie finally woke up and broke the seal. As soon as it appeared, it encountered this situation, and the warlike Taotie immediately joined the battle.

“Which one do you think it is?”

Nangong Longhua asked Zhao Qinghan.

Zhao Qinghan remained silent.

“I hope it’s the second one.”

If it is the first one, then it means that the human race has an invisible enemy in the dark.
This is definitely bad news for the human race.

Even if you believe that Taotie got out on his own, you don’t want to believe that he was let out by someone.
“Let’s put this aside. The situation we are facing now is that the thing that seals Taotie is gone. What should we do?”

“uncertain.”

Zhao Qinghan let go of the chains and floated in the cave.

“Look at the cave wall. Is there anything carved on it?”

On the stone wall?

Nangong Longhua cast his gaze towards the stone wall, and then he actually saw some vague carvings on it.

Some of these carvings have become blurred due to the erosion of time, while others have been directly destroyed.

Claws and various traces obscured the records above.

The whole thing is shabby and it’s hard to connect everything.

“It has been destroyed for a long time. It was destroyed a long time ago.”

“Taotie?”

Not sure.

The two of them walked around the cave, looking it up and down, inside and out. The only thing they could be sure of from the stone wall was that it was indeed the stone wall that recorded the stories about Taotie.

It is possible that the one who destroyed this stone wall was Taotie.

There are a lot of contents recorded above, most of which are about how evil and terrible Taotie is, and how Taotie must be controlled.

At the beginning, someone cut off a head, and demonic energy emerged from the head, which condensed into a ferocious beast.

The man caught the beast and put it in a cage.

The beast roared and struggled in the cage but couldn’t get out. It was not until a long time later that the beast was transported to a cave.

They imprisoned the beasts with chains and began to feed them. Many, many things were fed into the beasts’ mouths.

Then at some point, they stopped doing this and began to forget about the beast.

Until now, the beast has been completely forgotten.

When he was locked up, it should have been the time of Emperor Xuanyuan.

Chi You’s resentment turned into Taotie, and he was eventually captured by Emperor Xuanyuan and became a beast in a cage.

Later, Taotie was brought to the Hengduan Valley to intimidate all living creatures in the valley.

When it was used up, Emperor Shun simply suppressed it here, making everyone forget about Taotie.

“.Although we have discovered what happened in the past, we still don’t know how to seal Taotie in the end.”

“The chain has been broken. We can only rely on the secret method of Buddhism?”

Is it really?

If this is true, then why did Nuwa guide them here?

Just to tell them about Taotie’s past?

No, it’s definitely not that simple.

There must be a reason why Nuwa did this.

What secrets are there in those things that have been crossed out?
Why did Taotie cross out these things?

Don’t want to see it, or don’t like it?
Or in other words, is there something in here that can restrain Taotie?

Zhao Qinghan began to explore the cave. She looked at different directions of the cave, and there was a symbol in each direction.

These symbols, etc., east, south, west, and north, these locations, seem to contain some secrets.

It seems to be gossip?

Zhao Qinghan suddenly remembered something in her mind, as if her past life was reminding her of something.

“In ancient times, Bao Xi, the king of the world, looked up to observe the images in the sky, and looked down to observe the laws on the earth. He observed the patterns of birds and beasts in harmony with the earth. He took objects from near and objects from far away, so he began to make Bagua. To communicate with the virtues of the gods and to imitate the emotions of all things.”

She didn’t know what this sentence meant, but she just read it out in a confused manner. After she read it out, the different symbols engraved inside the cave began to glow.

Zhao Qinghan seemed to realize it only then.

It’s not a cage that imprisons Taotie.

But gossip!
