Lü Yue was extremely angry, shouting fiercely: "You common folk died of the plague, all due to the fate of heaven and earth, the changing of seasons, and being infected with illness. This is the natural order, what does it have to do with me?!"
Deng Chanyu pointed at his nose and was about to curse.
An unexpected strong ally appeared.
Shennong's voice echoed across the sea: "The heavens are strong and resolute, and a gentleman is to be self-reliant and never tire; the earth is yielding and expansive, and a gentleman is to carry great virtue. Our race persists in self-improvement without fear of any hardship, but we are not swine or dogs, we cannot be left to these scoundrels to slaughter at will!"
Fuxi and Huangdi did not speak, but at this point, it was almost equivalent to consent.
Shennong was indeed not a person of this era, and had nothing to do with King Zhou of the Shang City, but as the Earth Emperor, he still represented the human race and could speak on its behalf!
Heavenly Law seems to be making a judgment. As the golden light grew brighter and brighter, Tongtian Master, who was far away in the Azure Immortal Palace, furrowed his brow.
He waved his hand grandly, conjuring a layer of freshness to fend off the imminent divine will.
That means you'll wait a moment while I give it some thought.
Lv Yue saw that the divine will had been blocked, overjoyed, and kept bowing repeatedly in the direction of the Azure Immortal Palace.
"This is preposterous!" Nuwa fumed, and her red embroidered ball shot out from the Waigong Palace, forcibly shattering the clarity of Tongtian's barrier.
"I am not shielding anyone, I just need to consider it more carefully."
Tongtian also showed some anger. The green peony sword in his hand emitted a sharp edge that seemed to be able to cut through the Primordial World, flying out of the Azure Immortal Palace, and colliding with the red embroidered ball from a distance. After that, he once again stepped forward to intercept the impending divine will.
Nuwa was ready to strike again when Yuan Shijie, who was watching from the Jade Virtual Palace on Kunlun Mountain, burst into laughter and mockingly said: "Junior brother, I've always said your disciples have a thin foundation. Now it seems that it's not just thin, but they're heavily burdened by karma. How could they ever glimpse the path of righteousness?"
"Good, good, the world is full of suffering, and indeed it should not add more disasters. Please, Brother Tongtian, grant the sentient beings a path to survival." The Pure Land's Ksitigarbha Buddha, who was all too eager to see the commotion, immediately stepped forward to create trouble for Tongtian.
Tongtian Master was a bit speechless: "Brother, what does this have to do with you two?"
Yuan Shijie said indignantly, "Jiang Zitaotiao was killed by your outer disciples, indeed he has not mastered the arts thoroughly, but Junior Brother, do you think this has anything to do with me?"
Chunti came to meddle in this matter, naturally with a reason: "My disciple Dizang happened to be involved in this incident, and the common people are suffering greatly due to this calamity."
Jiang Zitaotiao and Dizang were both "backup cards" in the hands of the respective sages, which they had been covering up until now. Once their words were spoken, Tongtian Master finally understood the whole chain of events through the chaotic divination.
The matter was not complicated. It was that his disciple Lvyue released plagues everywhere. Starting from when Zhutianlin knocked down Daji, to poisoning Nuwa's disciple Deng Chanyu's father, and killing Jiang Zitaotiao, it ended.
The event involved an extremely large number of forces and immortals, including Nuwa, Yuan Shijie, Chunti, the Heavenly Court, the Underworld, the Fire Cloud Cave, the human race, the Jie sect, and the Chan sect.
Tongtian Master furrowed his brow, thinking to himself, "What should we do about this matter?"
Nuwa, Yuan Shijie, and Chunti against him, one Saint can handle three Saints? Chunti could summon his senior brother Shijie at any time. The "sibling" relationship between the brothers of the Western Teachings is indeed real. They have had a good relationship with the Three Pure Ones on this side. However, now they are just superficial siblings.
Facing four against one, he would definitely not be able to win.
Across thousands of mountains and rivers, he could see Yuan Shijie's mocking smile. For his pride, he couldn't admit defeat.
The situation was at a stalemate. He couldn't win in a fight, and he didn't want to admit defeat.
Just when he was at a loss, the Tai Chi Master, Lao Zi, who was in the Bai Jing Palace, also intervened.
Ultimately, he couldn't let the Western Two Sages see the Three Pure Ones laughing at a joke.
The Taiji Diagram flew out from the Ba Jing Palace, bouncing away Nuwa's red embroidered ball and Tongtian's Qingping Sword, and then divided yin and yang, clearing a path for the divine will to descend as a ball of golden light.
Although the matter has not yet been carried out, and no common people have been saved, as soon as these words were spoken, the Great Vow had already been issued, and Heavenly Law naturally responded.
After a year and a half of transmigration, Deng Chanyu had her first experience with real divine blessings from heaven, and the golden light enveloped her. For a moment, she felt invigorated, and the thousand-pound burden that had been weighing on her heart because of the great calamity instantly became much lighter.
To be honest, the way to enjoy this kind of large vow and enjoy it in advance is really great!
Nuwa whispered to her, "The merit should be saved for big use." Deng Chanyu also had some understanding about this. Merit enhances cultivation and the enhancement is ultimately limited. Can she enhance to Da Luo Jin Xian, and can she reach Zhunsheng? It's certain that it's impossible. It's better to save it for the critical moment to breakthrough in martial arts or as a tool to turn misfortune into fortune.
After the merit, a uniquely designed jade talisman fell into Deng Chanyu's hand.
The jade talisman contained the "Taiyang Cui Weng Sheng Cha" (Master Key to Curing Plague) scripture, which was not a scripture for cultivation but a prayer, blessing, and disaster relief scripture for the common people.
There were many blurred small characters on the back of the jade talisman. Deng Chanyu, the main character of this Great Vow, understood its meaning at the instant she saw the characters. She could set up Monkey, Pig, Sheep, Snake and Ox, five plague-curing emissaries to help her cure plagues.
In order, they are East Ox, West Sheep, South Snake, North Pig, and Center Monkey. The five messengers are in charge of the five directions.
She found it quite interesting and, with a "try-it" attitude, wrote down Jin Dasheng's name in the ox column.
The tea room was destroyed, and Jin Dasheng's true soul wandered around the nearby Chaozhou for two days. When Deng Chanyu arrived, she collected the true soul in a jade talisman and put it in a bottle. At this moment, she opened the mouth of the bottle, and in the next instant, she felt a connection between the jade talisman and Jin Dasheng. Jin Dasheng had "jumped ship" to the plague-curing jade talisman side from the List of Immortals.
The original Jin Dasheng was a "Heavens Plague Star" in the God Enshrine "Star Group". Like Deng Chanyu's "Six Harmony Star", he was just a bit lower in ranking.
Now, from the cold seat of the "Central Direct Bureau" to being a member of her "Special Topic Research Group," it's not clear whether it's good or bad.
The positions of the four messengers were relatively low and had to accept the leadership of the Central Plague-curing Emissary. As for the monkey candidate, Deng Chanyu thought for a moment and wrote down Yuan Futong's name. This time, there was no reaction from the jade talisman, and it was unclear whether Yuan Futong had refused or if there was no "monkey" to be found.
Before she had time to study it carefully, the voice of Laozi came from within the Taiji Diagram.
"Brothers and sisters, the Heavenly Will should have a plague. But it should also have a way to cure it. This matter ends here. How?"
Nuwa paused and said: "As senior brother suggested."
Chunti on the other side also said "OK."
Yuan Shijie, seeing no more excitement, didn't say anything immediately.
The several sages all agreed, and Tongtian Master also felt that this plan gave him a chance to back down and didn't have any problems.
Just as the several sages were about to turn their attention away.
Lv Yue suddenly pointed at Deng Chanyu and shouted towards the Azure Immortal Palace, "Master, this person has ruined my path. My disciples have spent thousands of years in hardship, and all of it was a mirage in a single moment. Is such a great cause and effect to be overlooked? Master, my disciples are unwilling!"
To be honest, his plague path was originally one of the three thousand Great Dao. The reputation of this path is too poor, and many primordial masters, even those who know about this path, do not want to get involved in too much karma and walk such a broken path.
There are a great many experts in the medical field, including the Queen Mother of the West, Shennong, Qingxu Daode Zhenjun, CiDao Mariner, and a host of immortals who have delved into this path. This doesn't even count the several sages.
As for the Plague Path, few people are willing to tread on it. Lv Yue and his disciples walked this path with great success.
Now Deng Chanyu openly opposed it, and Shen Nong, the humanistic saint, helped to hinder it with the help of human qi.
Heavenly Law made a judgment, and the Plague Great Path was directly cut in half, becoming a rugged, thorny path.
