The Zhunti came looking for him, which made Hongjun very helpless.
What should be done in such a peculiar situation now?
He could only say that heaven had played a trick on him, even if he merged with the Dao, he could not fully control the will of heaven. Now that Tongsixiao has gone away, along with a series of consequences that have resulted from it, I'm afraid this is the will of heaven?
Nuwa can play hide-and-seek with her precious disciple, and she can hide the Palace of Nuwa whenever she wants. Hongjun cannot do that; he still has some dignity left!
The Zixiao Palace used to have a rule that only those with destiny could enter, which was for the screening of the three thousand disciples who heard the Dao. Once that stage was passed, such means could no longer be used.
The Zixiao Palace was the central hub of Hongwu, a central hub suddenly disappeared? That sounds reasonable?
Hongjun had no intention of hiding the Zixiao Palace, nor did he set up any tests. He gradually appeared as soon as Zhunti entered the hall for fifteen minutes.
"Disciple bows before the teacher, wishes the teacher's physical health and wisdom doubled, and longevity in the Dao."
The opening lines are still some blessings, actually "Holy Longevity" "Blessings as boundless as the East Sea" this type of words, in Hongjun is not applicable, but not to say is also not appropriate.
Hongjun nodded, indicating his acceptance of the blessings.
Zhunti continued: "Disciple has a question that is not clear, please ask the teacher for guidance."
Hongjun, pretending to be naive while knowing the truth, said: "What is it?"
"Teacher, please allow me to report. Where has Master Tongtian gone? Do I need to assist the Jie sect as well?" Zhunti summarized the situation with Tongtian and then looked at Hongjun with full expectation on his face.
Hongjun was very difficult, what kind of mess is this!
This event has brought down the level of sages who are all-powerful. If sages walked on incense and fire divine paths, once the truth was revealed, the faith of the believer community would all collapse.
Hongjun sighed in secret and decided to help cover the lie.
It can't be left unanswered. If the truth is revealed, Master Tongtian's behavior will appear too foolish! Hongjun still has some importance for Tongtian in Hongwu. In the original time and space, Hongjun kept Tongtian by his side, saying that it was to watch over him or protect him, but he didn't want this disciple to perish.
At this time, facing Zhunti's question, he said particularly calmly: "Tongtian went to the outer chaos for his own Dao road. He wants to find a new world beyond chaos."
Zhunti was shocked and even doubted that he had heard wrong. He looked up sharply at Hongjun, then realized it was very impolite, and quickly bowed his head again.
A myriad of thoughts flitted through his mind.
The same sentence, if spoken by an old man next door, and by the ninth-ranked elder, would have different effects.
Zhunti's talent and wisdom need not be mentioned, as they are at the top level of Hongwu.
In a blink of an eye, he thought a lot. Hongjun glanced at him, nodding silently that the apprentice had overthought it.
However, the old gentleman spoke the truth, Tongtian thought and acted like that. As for you Zhunti, thinking more is none of my business.
To confirm the accuracy of the information, Zhunti asked another question: "May I ask the teacher, why did Master Tongtian have this idea?"
Hongjun continued to tell the truth: "It was the inner demon within the Zhaixian Sword that prompted this thought."
Zhunti spent another moment in calculations.
Who is the inner demon? It is the embodiment of Luo Hou. And who is Luo Hou? He is the lifelong rival of Daozhu!
Originally, it was just the ninth-ranked elder who said something. Now, the leader of the opposition has also said the same thing, and coupled with Master Tongtian's decisive actions, this matter must be true, truer than the Jumi gold.
It is not good to ask three questions, and he is not asking questions in front of the creator, not like a village old man. After asking two questions, Zhunti dared not ask any more, and left respectfully with a bow.
After Zhunti left, Hongjun shook his head slightly, "If you had asked one more question, you would have heard the truth. It seems that your fortune is still thin."
Zhunti returned to the Western Paradise and informed Jieyin with this heavy news.
Jieyin remained silent, not speaking for a full incense stick's worth of time.
The information was discovered by his own junior disciple and confirmed by Hongjun himself; how could it be false? It can't be that Zhunti and Hongjun would join forces to deceive him, can it? Jieyin has the utmost trust in his junior disciple, but not much trust in Hongjun. After all, the Daozhu has no reason to deceive him.
He also felt that this matter was unquestionable.
Zhunti advised: "Brother, my junior disciple is dull, I will not make much progress in this life, and the highest achievement is Cyclic Elements and Great Ranks. Brother is different, beyond chaos may be the true shore, know that opportunities are scarce and will not return. Brother can go quickly, do not hesitate."
Jieyin looked troubled, shook his head slowly: "I will need to think this over."
Nuwa today had no interest in looking at the Heavenly Mirror. She felt uneasy in her heart, and just as she was worried, Hongjun's voice came to her ears.
"Come."
Nuwa (')
Can't help but feel so. But it really can't be avoided.
Stretching out the neck means taking a blow, while retracting it also means taking a hit.
She mustered up her courage and went to the Zixiao Palace.
Nuwa at home was uneasy, but when she came to the Zixiao Palace, she calmed down. She didn't say anything and quietly sat on the lotus seat, as if asking, "What do you want to see me, Your Majesty?"
Hongjun also had a big headache.
Whether it's a fake play turned into the real thing or whatever, now it must be that Nuwa also goes out for a trip. At least, they need to save face and round things back around. Hongjun can alter cause and effect, but he can't adjust it too exaggeratedly, after all, it's targeting sages, so this matter must be quick! The quicker the better!
Tongtian went crazy and wanted to go out. Now, looking at the situation, Jieyin and Zhunti also have this idea. They will go out voluntarily. Nuwa knows the details of the matter and doesn't want to look for a path beyond chaos.
Hongjun does things with his own set of rules. He never pressures anyone to do something.
You all came to fight Luo Hou voluntarily, you came to the Zixiao Palace to listen to the Dao voluntarily, and you went to fill in the line of the great calamity voluntarily. Everything is as it should be.
Now, he still upholds this principle.
The master and disciple remained silent for half an hour before Hongjun spoke: "Do you know where Tongtian has gone?"
Nuwa adopted the demeanor of a curious onlooker: "The disciple is unaware."
Hongjun reminded her: "It is said that he is going to look for a path beyond chaos."
Nuwa was shocked: "Teacher, does chaos really exist beyond chaos?"
Hongjun looked at her unf favorably. What do you ask me for?
Old Demon was relieved. Fortunately, he has taken on the responsibility of guarding Hongwu. If Hongwu were given to Nuwa, it might have been destroyed long before the Eighth Heavenly Assembly!
In order to make Nuwa willingly cooperate in the play, without going out for a trip and returning after a walk, he can only offer some dry goods.
"Once, when my cultivation was low and my fortune and wisdom insufficient, I chose the Primordial Jade Disc. To speak honestly, I do not regret my choice in those days. However, my only regret is that I never saw the Chaos Pearl and missed that opportunity."
The laziness in Nuwa's demeanor disappeared as she heard about the Chaos Pearl. A Chaos treasure that is on par with the Chaos Qinglian, the Primordial God's Axe, and the Primordial Jade Disc?
