Chapter 273 The Heavens Are Strong and My Way Is Prosperous

Jingle Bell.
As Huang Shang, Chen Yulou, Ge Changgen and others visited the major Taoist ancestral temples one by one, all the old antiques that had been sealed for a long time woke up one by one, and one after another, phone calls from high-level officials rang, whether it was Taiwan Province, the Hong Kong government, or the mainland, but without exception, everyone who heard the news was shocked.

“What? How is this possible! Yes, yes, yes. I understand. I will withdraw the people now. Okay, don’t worry.”

In front of the central building, a middle-aged man in the lead was sweating profusely while answering the phone.

The content of the short one or two minute call was enough to make his back almost soaked.

Cautiously waiting for the call to hang up, he looked up at the building in front of him that he saw every day, and it seemed so unfamiliar to him.

“This world is about to change.”

His eyes were complicated, and after he sighed, he turned around and shouted, “Collect, withdraw, everyone evacuate the building, block the surrounding intersections, and put on high alert.”

As soon as this was said, someone whispered in confusion: “What’s going on? Isn’t there something in there?”

boom!
Before the man could finish his words, he was kicked.

“Don’t talk too much. Just follow the rules. There’s no need to say so much.”

The man smiled awkwardly: “Yes, Captain.”

There were also police officers who had been with Huang Huitu before, who came forward to ask questions. The middle-aged man in the lead was silent for a moment and then said, “Don’t ask. The instructions from the highest level here, where is Huang Huitu? Find him immediately and bring him to the official residence.”

The two earth-guarding Vajra looked at the retreating army and snorted coldly, “You are quite sensible. If you force your way in, we will have no choice but to fight you.”

“That’s right. Without a decree, no one else can enter.”

And in the most mysterious place among the major Taoist ancestral temples, the awakened old antiques were crying with joy around boxes of elixirs.

“Haha, after all the hardship comes happiness, the Tao will not let me down!”

There was an old man with only skin and bones, who made a hoarse sound of excitement, and his gums opened and closed, and several rotten teeth fell out.

“It has been more than a thousand years. I thought that I would turn into a pile of dirt in this life. I didn’t expect that immortals would come to the world. I am so lucky. Woo woo woo”

There was an old Taoist priest whose body was covered with talismans. His eyes were blinded and he was half dead. As he spoke, he actually started crying.

“These boxes of immortal bait and elixir are priceless treasures. The people from the Aquarius Heaven Realm want Taoist books, right? Give them to me, all of them. Just take whatever you want.”

The old Taoist priest who was in charge clapped his hands and decided the direction of the matter. With a gleam in his eyes, he turned to his disciples and said:
“Immediately send a letter to the leaders of each faction to discuss matters. Next year’s Zhongyuan Festival is a grand event that we must not miss.”

“That’s right, it’s a great donation, it can help to save the evil spirits in hell. This is a level of cultivation that is hard to imagine.”

There were also conservative old Taoist priests who, holding on to their last breath, said hesitantly:

“My fellow brothers, people from the outside world need the Taoist scriptures to be passed down. If we offer them to them, wouldn’t that be a disrespect to our teachers and ancestors? How will we live in the future?”

After these words were spoken, several people fell silent.

A few people crawled out of the loess, they were extremely decayed, some were blind, some had lost their teeth, and some were just breathing their last breath. They looked at each other, and suddenly let out sharp laughter like night owls.

“Hahahaha, the reason we have been lingering on until now is just to hope for hope, right?”

“That’s right. In front of the statue of the ancestor, all of us have knelt and prayed for a hundred years. But it’s all in vain.”

“Before the ancestors and the various ghosts and gods left behind their decrees, whether the inheritance will survive or not is entirely up to fate. Everyone, isn’t fate here now?”

“That’s right. The Aquarius Heaven Realm is the final destiny. The end of this world is irreversible. Those Taoist books are just waste paper. If we don’t offer them up in exchange for cultivation resources, are we going to keep them to clean up our butts?”

“Why don’t we pay respect to the statue of the ancestor again, throw the dice and ask the ancestor to make the decision?”

“Okay, success or failure depends on this move.”

“Agree.”

Everyone reached a consensus, knelt before the statue of the founder of the sect, where the lights were always on, and began to throw the divination blocks.

Jingle bells
The cups and divination blocks fell with a dull sound. Everyone stretched their necks and stared at it intently, afraid that they had seen it wrong.

“One Yang and one Yin, this is the Holy Grail! The Grand Master has agreed!” Everyone was delighted and urged, “Quick, throw it a second time.”

Jingle bells
The divination blocks fell to the ground for the second time, and after a moment, it was still a holy grail with one yang and one yin.

“Okay, great, let’s continue for the third time.”

Their hearts were in their throats, and they watched helplessly as the divination blocks fell to the ground for the third time.

Jingle bells
After seeing the yin and yang shown by the divination blocks, everyone fell silent. Then their lips moved and turbid tears fell.

They carried their decaying bodies and paid homage to the statue of their ancestor.

“Grandmaster, please have mercy, woo woo woo.”

This scene happens in almost every religious sect’s ancestral temple.

But there are no exceptions.

Whether it was throwing divination blocks or drawing lots, the final answer was all yes, and there was no sect’s founder who would disagree.

At the same time, at an incalculably long distance away from the world of double pupils, the founders of various sects were fighting bloody battles.

They were either holding magic swords, or waving talismans, or controlling magic weapons, constantly bombarding and killing the ancient gods of chaos who were pouring in.

Monsters without any self-instincts and only knowing how to destroy the world are wreaking havoc like locusts.

Several ancestors sensed the requests from their descendants and said casually, “Inheritance? Haha, just take it if you want it.”

“The battlefield of the catastrophe is about to begin. The real catastrophe is coming. The heavens will sink and all the brilliance will fall. I only hope that the younger generation can learn the supreme inheritance and leave some seeds.”

The ancestors all gave their approval, and then used their magic to the fullest, killing the enemies while singing loudly:
“The human way is vague, the immortal way is vast, and the ghost way is joyful.”

“I only wish to achieve immortality, not to be poor in human ways”

“The weather is turbulent, and my way is prosperous.”

The exciting sound of the desire realm flying in the sky echoes, and the moment is eternity.

In the world of double pupils, Xie Yali used his superb illusion to make Kevin, who came to support the FBI, pull out his tongue himself and was thrown into the tongue-pulling hell.

Now the Five Hells, namely the Hell of Ice, the Hell of Fire, the Hell of Pulling Out Intestines, the Hell of Digging Out Hearts and the Hell of Pulling Out Tongues, are complete. The only thing left is the last step, which is to achieve immortality.

Xie Yali’s destined person, Huang Huitu, was brought to the official residence with a bandage on his left arm. People in high positions were asking him about the whole story.

“Xiao Huang, come and have some tea. This is authentic Da Hong Pao, and we only have so much of it every year.”

A cup of fragrant tea was placed in front of Huang Huitu. He looked up at the people sitting in front of him. They were all big guys he had only seen on TV and had nothing in common with them in normal times.

There were also several folklore professors at the banquet, and Sheng Zuchang was among them. When he saw Huang Huitu looking at him, he forced a smile and seemed quite absent-minded.

“Xiao Huang, tell us the whole story from the beginning.” Someone spoke kindly.

Huang Huotu felt the pressure growing as everyone was watching him. He suddenly felt the urge to smoke. After a moment of silence, he finally said, “I’m not used to drinking good tea. Do you have cigarettes?”

Everyone: “.”

The atmosphere suddenly became awkward, and everyone looked at each other. Sheng Zuchang looked up at Huang Huitu, somewhat surprised.

After a while, someone reacted and handed a pack of cigarettes to Huang Huitu.

call.
The cigarette butts flickered, and the choking smell of smoke wafted in the air, causing the people sitting in the middle to frown subconsciously.

Huang Hutu smoked one cigarette after another. Although everyone was anxious, they just kept silent. As witnesses of the mysterious event, no one was under more pressure than Huang Hutu.

Soon, half a pack of cigarettes went into his lungs, Huang Huotu stopped smoking, and began to tell the story in a hoarse voice.

“It all started when Liao Zhenfu, the president of Taifeng Group, froze to death in his office on a hot day.”

As Huang Huitu told the story, and Sheng Zuchang added explanation on how the Five Prisons became immortals, everyone understood the ins and outs of the matter, but new doubts arose.

“In other words, now that four people have died, the murderer only needs to kill one more person to become an immortal?”

Some people found it hard to believe, but when they thought of the situation in the Central World Building, they asked again: “Then, what about the two gods you saw? Who exactly is Daoyi Zhenjun? Why did he issue a decree and send gods to guard Zhenxian Temple? Are there really gods in the world?”

Huang Huitu didn’t know how to answer this series of questions and subconsciously looked at Sheng Zuchang.

Sheng Zuchang’s mouth twitched, but he still stood up and said, “Zhenjun, this is the Taoist honorific for immortals and gods. I can’t find out who it is. According to ancient records, there is no emperor named Daoyi.”

He paused and said, “As for the two gods who call themselves Vajra, they should be guardians. As for their purpose, I think you have received the notice from the Zhengyi ancestral temple, so you should know it best.”

Everyone was silent, and someone smiled bitterly and said, “It’s true that the news came from the Zhengyi ancestral temple, but it’s vague, otherwise Xiao Huang wouldn’t have to explain it.”

Hearing this, Huang Huitu also learned some news that was hidden only from ordinary people. He sighed, took out another cigarette and lit it.

At this moment, someone hurried in to report: “Something happened. The fifth victim appeared. Cause of death: tongue pulled out. His identity is Kevin, an FBI support.”

Stab it!

Everyone was shocked and couldn’t help but stand up, and the tables and chairs collided with each other, making a harsh sound.

However, before anyone could ask, someone else came in quickly: “The Taoist Priest is here, he’s just outside.”

This time, everyone was even more shocked. They looked at each other, their hearts beating fast.

Not long after, a group of purple-robed Taoists came in one after another. After exchanging greetings, they all looked at Huang Huitu.

An old man walked out, made a hand seal, and pointed with one finger, a flash of light appeared.

Huang Huitu’s broken left arm was restored in the blink of an eye, leaving everyone dumbfounded.

At the side, Sheng Zuchang’s pupils shrank sharply and he stared at the old man. He recognized that he was the corrupt old man who was sealed in the jade jar covered with talismans and who had instructed him.

But when I see him again now, he no longer looks decayed. He has white hair and a youthful face, and looks like an enlightened person.

After the old man cured Huang Huotu’s injury, he turned to look at Sheng Zuchang and said, “It’s been decades since we last met. You’ve aged a lot. Have you figured out the Five Hells Immortal Technique?”

Sheng Zuchang trembled, bowed, and said in a serpentine voice: “The immortal law is mysterious and profound, I have never fully understood it.”

The old man nodded, sat down as if no one was around, and said with a smile: “It’s okay if you can’t understand it. Without double pupils, you can’t practice the immortal method. Now that the Aquarius Realm has arrived, it’s your chance.”

After the old man finished speaking, he looked around at everyone and said seriously: “I was born in the Chunhua period and have been self-enshrined here. Today, I was blessed by the Hongyuan Wanmiao Daoyi Zhenjun and was given an elixir. Only then did I regain my vitality and my cultivation was fully restored.”

When everyone heard this, they immediately began to calculate the old man’s age. After the calculation, they were suddenly shocked.

This old man actually lived during the reign of Emperor Taizong of Song, a thousand years ago.

Everyone stared at the old man, as if seeing a god, with awe in their hearts. Just as they were about to ask questions, they heard the old man say:

“I know what you want to ask, but no one knows the answer. Everything is fate and destiny.”

“Three days later, all the true practitioners of all sects will gather here to discuss the important matter of liberating the dead from hell during the next year’s Zhongyuan Festival. This is the most important thing. Please don’t cause any more trouble.”

The old man left after he finished speaking. Before he left, he looked at Huang Huotu for the last time and said, “Young man, seize the opportunity. You have a great chance. You should cut off worldly ties when necessary. There are not many opportunities to reach the top overnight.”

Huang Hutu walked out of the door in a daze, his mind churning with thoughts.

Sheng Zuchang caught up with him and said apologetically, “Officer Huang, I am also part of the bureau and I have no choice. Please don’t blame me. However, I should really seize this opportunity to rise to the top in one step.”

Huang Huotu stopped and suppressed his anger: “So, everything is a setup? My daughter’s accident is a setup? Five people’s death is a setup? Even your speech is a setup?”

“The birth and death of fate are all predetermined, and cannot be controlled by humans.”

Sheng Zuchang looked lonely: “You are the destined person. It was engraved on the stone tablet a thousand years ago. Fire and Earth, do you still remember my explanation?”

“Fuck the destined person. I’m a policeman, but I’m the destined person of a murderer? This fucked up world is ridiculous.”

He shouted loudly, his eyes full of anger: “I will definitely find the murderer and bring him to justice.”

Sheng Zuchang stood there, watching Huang Huitu leaving, shaking his head and sighing.

“How can you, a mere mortal, defeat them? I guess you’ll be an immortal the next time we meet. How many people envy this opportunity? When will it be my turn?”

Not far away, the old man met Miao Zhen and Xie Yali.

“Fellow Taoist, long time no see.”

Miao Zhen looked at the old man with white hair and youthful face, and saw that he overlapped with the figure in her memory that was about to decay. She knew something had happened, so she suppressed her shock and bowed, saying, “Congratulations, fellow Taoist.”

The old man laughed and said, “If it weren’t for the arrival of the Aquarius Realm, our relationship would have been much closer.”

Miao Zhen looked unhappy, and forced a smile, “It’s because my Xianyou sect is not blessed.”

The two of them exchanged witty remarks, neither of them saying anything explicit.

After a while, Miaozhen took Xie Yali away and chased after Huang Huitu.

“Sister, the old man’s cultivation has recovered. This should be the work of the person who came.”

“Don’t worry about it. That’s not something we should worry about. The most urgent thing is to dissolve the soldiers as soon as possible. We must not let go of this opportunity that we have waited for a thousand years.”

“Okay, the Yellow Fire and Earth are just ahead. Let’s start entering the illusion from now on. True and false, just for the sake of military solution.”

The two men flew away, their pupils emerged, and obscure and hidden spiritual power burst out. Huang Huitu only felt dazed for a moment, and then returned to normal.

He didn’t know that an illusion targeting him had already been launched.

When he leaves, it is time to assist Xie Yali in disarming his troops, and it is also the time to make a choice.

If one can cut off worldly ties, one can ascend to heaven in one step.

If you can’t cut it off, you will still be a mortal, living in a daze, and will never achieve immortality.
