Chapter 168: Opening the Seal
According to Hinomiya Xizi, Izanagi's head and torso are not sealed in the Yellow Springs. Because the Yellow Springs has the ability to revive people, if Izanagi's head and torso are sealed in it, wouldn't it help Izanagi to revive?
Furong Mountain is an active volcano. If its mountain pass is regarded as an abyss leading directly to the netherworld, then the Yellow Springs is located at the bottom of the abyss, close to the intersection of yin and yang, blocking the upwelling yin energy, and Izanagi's body is located above the Yellow Springs, and then there is the seal set by the Great Sun Tathagata.
Whether you want to enter Izanagi's kingdom of God or the Yellow Springs, you have to "salvage" Izanagi's body.
What Qingwei Zhenren is concerned about is how much consciousness Izanagi has now. If he is in a sleeping or semi-sleeping state, it's okay. He only acts on instinct and won't cause too much trouble. If the consciousness is fully awake, it will be very bad. After all, he is an ancient god, and his status is obviously higher than the three main gods. No one knows what means he has.
Fei Gong Xizi's answer made Qingwei Zhenren feel a little relieved. Dainichi Tathagata not only broke up Izanagi's body, but also broke up Izanagi's soul, so that each part of Izanagi has some independent consciousness, instead of all consciousness gathered in the torso and head. Even those monster tribes transformed by the fragments of Izanagi's golden body also contain part of Izanagi's consciousness, but because they are too scattered and fragmented, they are almost invisible.
From this point of view, Izanagi does have consciousness, but it is impossible to have complete consciousness, which will lead to a big change in temperament or partial memory loss, which is difficult to predict. After all, Dainichi Tathagata did not think of releasing Izanagi when he broke him into pieces, so naturally there was no mercy at all. At this time, even if Dainichi Tathagata came to the world, it would be difficult to reassemble Izanagi into its original state. It's like it's easy to break a vase, but it's hard to put the pieces back together. Even if you can barely put them together, it's not the original vase after all.
However, just as the ghost fairy's thoughts are divided into thousands, Lin Lingsu's three corpses can fall to the ground and turn into Lin Yuanmiao, and his words and deeds are no different from ordinary people. Although Izanagi's consciousness is completely scattered, the many residual consciousnesses cannot be regarded as fools or lunatics, or as ordinary residual souls, but should be regarded as many independent individuals derived from the original body.
Because of this, Izanagi's left hand can calculate Xiao Yin and Qi Xuansu, intending to escape through these two people.
In the end, Feigong Xizi warned Qingwei Zhenren that once Izanagi was combined into one, the scattered Izanagi consciousness would inevitably merge into one. Although the consciousness that has been integrated into the monster tribe cannot be taken back, it cannot be compared with its complete peak, but more than half of it has been restored.
Qingwei Zhenren finally decided to piece together the five parts of Izanagi and open the door to the kingdom of God first. After all, Izanagi has lost his golden body and half of his kingdom, his consciousness is not complete, and he has been sealed for many years, so his strength has been greatly damaged. At most, he is equivalent to the immortal stage. Qingwei Zhenren, together with the great Zhenren Zhang Qihan, Tamamonomae, three first-class spiritual officials, and several other pseudo-immortals, are enough to control the situation. If it doesn't work, they can also let the immortals of Yujing come to Fenglinzhou through various emergency means, or even let Feigong Xizi and Da Tiangou take action.
These two people are regarded as people who are controlled and used by the Taoist sect. Of course, there is a possibility that they will turn against them at the last minute. However, the Taoist forces in Fenglinzhou are not the main force of the Taoist sect now. Defeat Qingwei Zhenren, which will not overturn the Taoist sect overnight. They must consider the consequences of betraying the Taoist sect, which may cause the Taoist sect to feel a sense of hatred and hatred against the enemy. The Taoist high-level officials are furious. No matter what the other two think, they will definitely support revenge on the surface. Even if they have the strength of immortality, it is difficult for them to get away with it, and they may even worry about their own death. After all, they are not immortals who are difficult to be completely killed.
Immortals are probably the most cherishing group of people in the world. After all, ordinary people only live for a hundred years, or even less than a hundred years. That's why there is a saying that fifty years of life is like a dream and an illusion. The fewer chips you have, the less you care about life and death. Immortals can live for more than a hundred years. There is no need to risk your life for a momentary impulse or a momentary interest. This also indirectly makes immortals very measured and always able to compromise. .
Under absolute advantage, Izanagi, who has been crippled by Mahavairocana, can't make any big waves.
Qingwei Zhenren made up his mind, and the entire camp took action immediately. The first thing was to open the seals of Ise, Izumo, Heikyo, and Satsuma. Hinomiya Xizi was responsible for Ise's left hand, Tamamonomae was responsible for Izumo's left foot, and Da Tengu was responsible for Heikyo's right hand.
Da Zhenren Zhang Qihan happened to be in Satsuma, and he was personally responsible for the right foot on Sakurajima. And he clearly told the Shimazu clan of Satsuma that this was not a discussion, but an order. If anyone dares to stop it, he will be regarded as resisting the Dao Sect. If he is an enemy of the Dao Sect, not only will his position as Duke be lost, but he will also worry about his own death and the destruction of his country.
After unsealing the four seals, Izanagi's limbs will be transported to the seaside of Mutsu Province first. After they are properly placed, the seals on the skull and torso will be unsealed and "salvaged". Then Furong Mountain will be temporarily sealed, and the skull and torso will also be transported to Mutsu. Relying on the characteristics of Izanagi's immortal body, the five parts will merge into one, which is when the kingdom of God will be opened.
Because there is a huge yin-yang gap leading directly to the underworld under Furong Mountain, and there is also the existence of Huangquan Country, Qingwei Zhenren does not intend to "resurrect" Izanagi in Furong Mountain to avoid causing any unpredictable changes.
After several studies, Qingwei Zhenren selected Mutsu as a temporary transit point, and the final "resurrection" site was located on the East China Sea. Even if a war broke out, it would not affect too much.
Another reason is that Qizhou is close to the East China Sea, and the Taiping Dao's base camps Penglai Island, Fangzhang Island, and Yingzhou Island are also on the East China Sea. Once the situation gets out of control, the national teacher sitting in Penglai Island can quickly rush to help, and at the same time, Taiping Dao can prevent Quanzhen Dao and Zhengyi Dao from playing any tricks.
In order to prevent everything from going wrong, Qingwei Zhenren also sent people to set up formations in advance, and dispatched "Yinglong" and the fleet of the East China Sea Navy to be on standby.
Such a large-scale manpower mobilization is naturally difficult to completely conceal from everyone. Yao Pei quickly got the news and notified Qi Xuansu and Zhang Yuelu of the news.
Qi Xuansu and Zhang Yuelu were the first Taoists to know and contact the seal of Izanagi, and immediately guessed what Qingwei Zhenren was going to do. However, they could not oppose the decision of Qingwei Zhenren in terms of strength or status, and could only wait and see.
Time soon came to the end of March, and all the preliminary preparations had been completed.
The seal that had already loosened was naturally not difficult to break. Although the seal left by the Heavenly Master was firm, it was only a temporary seal left by the Heavenly Master after all, and the effect was limited, and it was also broken by Feigong Xizi. As for Satsuma Domain, Shimazu clan not only did not raise any objections, but took the initiative to assist Zhang Qihan in unsealing the seal and salvaging the right foot of Izanagi from the depths of the volcano.
In fact, Shimazu clan had long been tired of their identity as gravekeepers, and paid more attention to the identity of lords and powerful people. Now that the Taoist sect wanted to help them solve this burden, they were naturally happy to see it happen.
So the four "corpse pieces" were secretly transported to Mutsu by the Taoist sect, and the Taoist sect built five temporary sealing places here, with the blessing of formations, to store the five parts of Izanagi. Outside the sealed place, there were four immortal immortals responsible for transportation to guard it, which was absolutely foolproof in a short time.
Qingwei Zhenren personally came to Furong Mountain, opened the seal of Furong Mountain, and salvaged the head and torso.
Before the official salvage began, the Taoist sect sealed off the entire Furong Mountain and relocated all residents within hundreds of miles.
What the Taoist sect did specifically is unknown to outsiders, but one thing is certain, that is, Furong Mountain, which had been dormant for more than a hundred years, erupted again and continued for several days.
The top of the mountain was seen burning, the smoke was dark during the day, and the fire illuminated the sky at night, the sound was like thunder, the ashes fell like rain, and the river water below the mountain was all red. The fire was so fierce that it burned a mountain area of 100 to 200 miles, and the flames were more than 20 feet high. After several days, the fire was still not extinguished, the scorched rocks collapsed, sand and stones rained down, and the smoke and clouds were so thick that people could not get close. The burned rocks flowed into the sea, about 300 miles away, 300 to 400 miles wide, and 20 to 30 feet high. The hills and mountains were broken, the grass and trees were scorched, the landslides and rocks flowed, the water was as hot as soup, and all the fish and turtles died. The people's houses were buried with the sea. There were thunder and lightning, heavy rain, rain and fog, and the mountains and fields were difficult to distinguish.
Afterwards, the ashes were like snow, drifting everywhere with the wind. Pingjing was directly covered with a thin layer of white ash inside and outside, as if it had snowed heavily.
This caused many people in Fenglinzhou to panic. However, the Taoist sect had already issued an order. The Prime Minister's Office of Toyotomi, the royal family, Tianmen, and the lords of the feudal lords in various places came forward to appease the people, claiming that the Taoist sect wanted to eradicate the evil gods hidden under the holy mountain. After this battle, Furong Mountain would no longer have any troubles.
Qingwei Zhenren first triggered the eruption of Furong Mountain and drained the magma. The Buddha's palm seal left by Dainichi Tathagata was hidden in the magma. Under normal circumstances, it could not be seen at all. After the magma was drained, a dark red palm print immediately appeared. This palm print was bright and dark, and many palm lines were already stained with a layer of black air, as if countless black lines were entangled. I think it was the invasion of Yin Qi.
After breaking the Buddha's palm seal, a torso without limbs slowly rose up. There was a head on the torso, with long hair and closed eyes, which was a typical Japanese appearance.
This is Izanagi, who was sealed under Furong Mountain. Soaking in the magma, like soaking in a hot spring, even the hair was not damaged at all.
In order to ensure that everything was foolproof, Qingwei Zhenren did not use "Yinglong" to transport the strongest head and torso of the five "corpse parts", but asked Li Tiangang to activate "Flower in the Mirror" in Mutsu. Qingwei Zhenren used "Moon in the Water" to directly teleport the torso to the temporary sealed place in Mutsu through "Flower in the Mirror and Moon in the Water".
