Chapter 156 Palm Fire

After the Ise War, Suzuka Gozen returned to her own Suzuka Mountain. After all, her situation was rather special. Without sufficient divine support, she could not leave Suzuka Mountain at will.

Tamamonomae was much freer. Her range of activities was roughly a thousand miles around her body.

What is the concept of a thousand miles around? It is a circle with a radius of a thousand miles. According to the length in the West, one mile is equal to five hundred meters, which means a radius of five hundred thousand meters. The area converted into is roughly equivalent to the size of Liangzhou where Tsowynbu is located. This area basically covers the entire Fenglinzhou, so Tamamonomae can move freely in Fenglinzhou, but cannot leave Fenglinzhou.

As for Tamamonomae's body, it is said that after Tamamonomae died, she turned into a "Killing Stone". Her soul should have been annihilated, leaving only the "Killing Stone". It was only because of the special magic of Huangquan Country that her soul was resurrected and merged with the "Killing Stone". In essence, the current Tamamonomae cannot be regarded as a fox demon, but is similar to the spirit of an instrument born from an immortal, but the spirit of Tamamonomae is extremely powerful and still retains the status of an immortal.

Therefore, the "Killing Stone" is the body of Tamamonomae. Wherever the "Killing Stone" is, Tamamonomae is there. If the Taoist sect plans to move the "Killing Stone" to Yujing one day, Tamamonomae can also go there.

Today, Tamamonomae visited Suzuka Mountain.

In fact, the two of them have known each other for a long time. After all, Fenglinzhou is so small, and both of them have lived for so long and have no hatred. It is really unreasonable if they don't know each other. It's just that the two of them had an ordinary relationship in the past. Now that they have become half colleagues, it is necessary to get close to each other. After all, Qingwei Zhenren and the Taoist army will not stay in Fenglinzhou forever. They will eventually return to Yujing. In the future, it is still the Fenglinzhou Daofu that has the final say. They will most likely be included in the Fenglinzhou Daofu.

At this moment, Tamamonomae and Suzuka Gozen are standing at the highest point of Suzuka Mountain, looking towards the direction of Iino County.

There was a strange phenomenon there, with fire clouds all over the sky, as if a fire rain was about to fall.

Suzuka Gozen couldn't help but ask: "Someone opened the seal of Izanagi-no-no? Is it the Dao Sect?"

Tamamonomae covered his face below the eyes with the folding fan in his hand: "Qingwei Zhenren does have this idea, but it's not the right time yet. At least we have to wait until the final peace talks are over."

Qingwei Zhenren did not intend to completely eliminate the royal family, because he was still worried that the Toyotomi Xiangfu would dominate. The so-called imperial power is nothing more than a balance. Let the two factions fight each other, and both factions have requests from the emperor. Only then can the emperor maintain a transcendent position and judge the victory and defeat. If one faction dominates, or the two factions merge, the emperor can easily become a puppet. Some emperors with superb power tactics will not even satisfy the two factions, and will turn the situation of three-legged tripod below.

In short, the existence of two factions is the minimum.

If the Dao Sect wants to ensure its transcendent position in Fenglinzhou, it also needs two handles.

So Tamamonomae believed that there would be another round of peace talks in the end, and the Taoist sect would force the royal family to accept some conditions based on the first peace talks, but would allow the royal family to continue to exist.

More importantly, in dealing with the matter of Izanagi no Sanzan, Tamamonomae served as Qingwei Zhenren's adviser. If Qingwei Zhenren really wanted to take action, she would not be unaware of it.

This was an unexpected situation.

Suzuka Gozen gave a guess: "Qingwei Zhenren cannot fully represent the Taoist sect. We all know that there are Taiping Dao, Quanzhen Dao, and Zhengyi Dao in the Taoist sect. Qingwei Zhenren can only fully represent Taiping Dao. The Sonnang faction saw the opportunity for the three sects to fight, so they decided to start an uprising."

Tamamonomae did not deny this.

At this moment, both of them felt something and looked again.

A thunderbolt broke through the sky, and the fire clouds dissipated wherever the thunderbolt passed.

Soon, all the fire clouds disappeared.

…

Qingwei Zhenren, who was far away in Xiujing, soon learned about the changes in Iino County. After all, Qi Xuansu had reported it specifically, and such a strange phenomenon could be seen even in Suzuka Mountain. It was conceivable how large the scale was. The Taoist army stationed in Ise could not turn a blind eye to it, so they naturally reported it at the first time.

Combining the two, it is easy to draw a conclusion-Qi Xuansu and others opened the seal.

Qingwei Zhenren ordered the local garrison to "relay" the specific scene of the change to him in the form of a mother-and-child mirror.

Soon, the mother-and-child mirror was connected, and the garrison on the other side kept changing the direction of the mother-and-child mirror, showing Qingwei Zhenren the fire cloud phenomenon in the sky.

Until the thunder appeared.

Qingwei Zhenren signaled Shen Yuqing to close the mother-and-child mirror.

Shen Yuqing whispered: "Looking at this, it should be the Heavenly Master who took action personally."

Qingwei Zhenren did not speak.

As a secretary, the most important thing is to observe words and expressions. So Shen Yuqing stopped talking and just waited quietly.

After a while, Qingwei Zhenren finally spoke: "You notify Li Cixi and ask him to prepare the corresponding aftermath, and don't make any mistakes."

Shen Yuqing took the order and left.

...

The Heavenly Master left, leaving behind the "Heavenly Master Male and Female Swords".

The three looked at each other and were speechless.

Qi Xuansu couldn't help but wonder, why did they run here at great risk? It seems that they got nothing and almost lost themselves. Is the subtle influence of the ancient gods so powerful?

But on second thought, even a big demon like Tamamonomae has to be controlled, which shows that the gods of Fenglinzhou are still good at this. In any case, Izanagi was once a rival to the Great Sun Tathagata, similar to Wuyang and Wuxian in the legend of the Central Plains, and it is really not to be underestimated.

Until this time, Qi Xuansu and Zhang Yuelu had the time and mood to analyze this muddled adventure. Qi Xuansu should have been influenced by An Zhen's skull, so he easily agreed to this matter. Zhang Yuelu did not agree at first, but Qi Xuansu's insistence finally made her waver. After all, in Zhang Yuelu's impression, Qi Xuansu was actually a cautious person, and his trust in Qi Xuansu led to Zhang Yuelu's misjudgment.

Moreover, both of them underestimated Izanagi's left hand, thinking that it was only one sixteenth of its peak state. Even if they couldn't beat him, it should not be difficult to protect themselves. However, they didn't expect that Izanagi was waiting for him. With the previous foreshadowing, he controlled Qi Xuansu with just one encounter. If it weren't for Zhang Yuelu's wit and the support of the Heavenly Master, Izanagi would have succeeded.

Qi Xuansu began to reflect. If Xiao Yin was attacked because of greed and gluttony, he could not escape the word "greed", then he was attacked because of arrogance, he could not escape the word "arrogance". He relied on his "heart of the stone of immortality" and thought that he had resolved the evil fire in his body and that he could control it. As a result, he was like Xiao Yin, and could not control it.

Confucianism says that I examine myself three times a day. If Qi Xuansu could examine himself often, he would probably be able to find subtle changes in himself, but he had never done so, so he would naturally have to pay a price. For example, the disappearance of 2,500 ke of divine power, Qi Xuansu now only had 2,000 ke of divine power, and he didn't want to think about what the amount would be in Taiping money.

Fortunately, this time it was not without gain, and it could more or less make up for Qi Xuansu's loss, which was what the Heavenly Master called the fire.

In essence, this fire was a disaster, but the Heavenly Master personally set up a seal, just like tying a dog leash, it became a kind of magical power that could be controlled. Its nature is very similar to the inner demon of "Taiyin Thirteen Swords". It is a double-edged sword. If used well, it can hurt the enemy, but if used poorly, it will hurt oneself.

Zhang Yuelu was also quite curious about this and couldn't help asking: "What exactly is the evil fire like?"

Qi Xuansu thought about it and replied: "It feels like a flame that has been fused with Yin Qi, but it is different from Yin Fire. The difference between evil fire and Yin Fire is similar to the difference between Sun True Fire and Samadhi True Fire. Sun True Fire is more real and it is difficult to break through Qingyun. Samadhi True Fire is idealistic and can be used to deal with Qingyun. Similarly, Yin Fire is idealistic, and the "Yin" in it refers more to the burning of the five Yins, which is a more mysterious statement. Evil fire is more real, and Yin Qi is real."

In terms of these basic theories, Zhang Yuelu is far more solid than Qi Xuansu. After Qi Xuansu said this, she immediately understood: "Yin Fire is idealistic, so for It is in line with the saying of 'Thirteen Swords of Taiyin' that 'the inner demon is born from me', and it is born from the inner demon. The evil fire is real, so it involves the scope of the netherworld, specifically manifested as the resurrection of the dead and the transformation of the living into ghosts. However, reality and idealism are not absolutely unique, but they have different emphases, so the Yin fire can also burn people to ashes, and the evil fire can also confuse people's minds. "

Qi Xuansu nodded and said, "That's right. I have had some contact with these four kinds of flames through various channels, whether it is the sun, Samadhi, or the five yins and yin qi, they are just additions, and their essence is still flame, so they all have the characteristics of flame. Just like your thunder method, whether it is wind thunder or ice thunder, the essence is still thunder, not wind and ice. "

Zhang Yuelu was thoughtful.

Xiao Yin pulled Qi Xuansu's collar and asked, "Can you control the evil fire now?"

"Yes." Qi Xuansu nodded.

Xiao Yin asked again, "What does it look like?"

Qi Xuansu did not speak, and flames burned in his eyes again.

Without seeing how Qi Xuansu moved, a ray of fire shot out from his eyes, like an arrow, flashing away, and exploding like a bullet when it hit the wall.

Zhang Yuelu evaluated: "The power is roughly equivalent to 'Dragon Eye Armor Seven', but it can be used for sneak attacks."

Qi Xuansu said: "This is a very superficial application, just exerting the power of the flame itself. When I get familiar with it, the power is more than that. The evil fire has many magical powers, such as the resurrection of the dead, or ghosts, etc. I just mentioned. Of course, the resurrection here is not a real resurrection, but a transformation into a dead soul zombie. And the evil fire is not limited to this kind of use, it can also be infused into other people's bodies through physical contact and other methods."

Zhang Yuelu smiled and said: "I know this, just like Izanagi's broken hand holding you just now."

Qi Xuansu stretched out his right hand, spread his five fingers, and there was a faint flame in the palm of his hand. He joked: "Do you want to try whether my 'treasure sword' is sharp?"

Zhang Yuelu did not show weakness, and also stretched out his hand, and the six qi surged: "My sword is not bad either."
