Fried Salted Fish
Chapter 105 The Wanli Emperor in a Battle with Ghosts and Monsters...
Nurhaci responded absentmindedly:
"We need to get to Shuntian quickly, we can't dawdle here."
In last night's dream, those divine beings urged him once again.
They said that the Great Ming's national prestige had a massive, irreparable hole, and it had just experienced a great turmoil.
They said that if he wanted to obtain a portion of the national prestige, now was the best time.
As a second-rank Longhu General of the Ming court, obtaining the Great Ming's national prestige and having the Jianzhou Guard fill the vacant portion, wasn't that reasonable?
They had already told him the method to mend the heavens. Of course, they also told him to be careful, for there were two immortals beyond the realm of mortals within Shuntian.
From the moment he left Liaodong and entered Shanhaiguan, many words had to be carefully kept to himself and not spoken carelessly. Before becoming a great man, one must act like a small character.
Nurhaci was shocked and yearned for such immortal powers beyond the mortal realm when he heard of them. He also deeply agreed with the warnings of those powerful figures from Li Shanhe.
However, Nurhaci was even more interested in something else, which was the so-called "Taiyin Cataclysmic Fire" that destroyed the Great Ming's national prestige.
Shuerhaci was still muttering behind him:
"Don't be misled by things like manggai (demons). When we return from Shuntian, we should have the clan's great shaman or Old Madam Bai take a good look at you."
.........
In a certain mountain wilderness, within a dilapidated temple, wisps of firelight gathered, illuminating the dark little temple into a blazing brightness.
Countless vows and desires were gathered here.
Inside the temple, many people knelt on the ground, praying to the temple. They were disciples of the Yellow Heaven Sect, and they didn't know where they had found a female corpse.
The flames suddenly grew larger, and countless vows and desires stirred the firelight, injecting it into the female corpse's body. Soon, she groaned softly, and her appearance changed, becoming extremely beautiful, and she was none other than the Fire Sovereign.
The Fire Sovereign was resurrected, just as Qian Guang had said before, that vows and desires could resurrect people, only the body needed to be found elsewhere. It was somewhat like borrowing a corpse to revive the soul, but more like parasitism, which had the same effect as a Yin spirit possessing a body.
However, although she had come back to life, and the believers excitedly worshipped her, the Fire Sovereign's face turned ugly.
"Where is my cataclysmic fire? My cataclysmic fire is gone!"
The Taiyin Cataclysmic Fire had disappeared.
This was what she had obtained from Li Shanhe after going through all kinds of hardships, and she could never go back again!
It was not on her body, nor had Ji Xiang taken it away, but the Fire Sovereign believed at this time that Ji Xiang must have stolen her flames.
She felt anger, but now there was no way to enter the Forbidden City to cause trouble again. All her plans had failed, and she could only hang her head in disappointment, while uttering the most venomous curses against Ji Xiang.
But just before this dawn arrived, the environment around her changed.
A void Dharma realm appeared, and the Fire Sovereign raised her head and looked forward. There were several illusory forms and spirits, also condensed from vows and desires, looking down at her condescendingly and began to speak:
"Do you want to understand the meaning of life?"
"Life and death, where do vows and desires come from, do you want to know who is using you? Do you want to know what the identity of the person who fought with you at that time was?"
"It's not shameful that you lost to him, he is actually an Ascended Realm master, just recently revived."
The Fire Sovereign was stunned. A great fear suddenly rose in her heart.
That young Taoist priest was actually an old monster, borrowing a body to revive, an ascended master?!
And next, these forms and spirits in the Dharma realm began to extend their olive branches:
"Do you want to obtain truly powerful strength? This strength is enough to fulfill your wishes, your wish is not to change this turbid world of Ming, to change this world of sun and moon into the Yellow Heaven Sect?"
"For example... Great Dao characteristics!"
"Or... the real Taiyin Cataclysmic Fire!"
The Fire Sovereign took a deep breath to calm her mind. She was, after all, a person who had been to Li Shanhe, although not for long, and the location she had appeared in was also a remote area, but she could still feel that the forms and spirits that appeared in front of her had the aura of Li Shanhe.
"Are you people from Li Shanhe?"
"What are Great Dao characteristics?"
Those Dharma realm forms and spirits told her that the characteristics of the Great Dao must be obtained by closely contacting a kind of Great Dao. Most of them are cultivators of Biao Shanhe who will obtain this characteristic, and the characteristics of the Great Dao are random, like seeds, and may transform into a complete Great Dao in some people.
And those who possess the characteristics of the Great Dao will have a stronger understanding of the Dao and the power to operate spells than other cultivators.
Of course, the people of Li Shanhe have also deliberately cultivated successors of the Great Dao in the past.
"The Taiyin Cataclysmic Fire you obtained is just the remnant of the Cataclysmic Fire of the past. It is a rootless fire. Once you die, this ball of fire will immediately dissipate, and nothing will remain."
"You can help us, and we can also help you, help you obtain the divine position of 'Kindling Mother'. In this way, the Taiyin Cataclysmic Fire can take root in Biao Shanhe, just like it did in the Southern Dynasties of Song, Qi, Liang and Chen."
At this point, the Fire Sovereign understood the ins and outs of the matter, and she couldn't help but want to laugh, her expression twisting greatly, her voice filled with painful self-mockery.
"How many people in this world are being used by you?"
The voices of the Legalists were grand and far-reaching:
"Many, and they are all working tirelessly to achieve their ideals. Don't you want to fulfill your wish, don't you want to... kill that person who is hindering you?"

Shuntian Prefecture, which had just experienced turmoil, was full of broken walls and ruins, and needed to be repaired urgently.
Old Zhang conducted a thorough inspection of the civil and military officials, very carefully.
Including Old Xu, who was carried out of the Eastern Peak Temple.
Old Xu almost sacrificed himself for the country. When he came out, his spirit was a little wrong. Old Zhang gave him psychological counseling. When Old Xu saw Old Zhang, it was like seeing his own father. He held Old Zhang's hand, and tears streamed down his face.
Death is not scary. If one can die gloriously, it is still a beautiful tale of being famous in history and lasting forever.
What is scary is dying too comically, then it's all over.
And the matter about the Wanli Emperor unexpectedly set off a small storm in Shuntian.
The courtiers called it addiction... no, they called it excessive!
It's too much, tormenting our emperor like this every day, His Majesty the Emperor is about to switch careers to writing novels.
"So the Shuntian Rebellion actually involved the previous dynasty?"
"Why does it sound like those folk novels?"
"Everyone, you don't know, once bitten by a snake, ten years afraid of well ropes, I think it was the Fire Sovereign's assassination that made His Majesty mentally disturbed."
Something happened again in the fourth watch?
The Wanli Emperor, in his fight with the ghosts.....
Won!
One move, instant kill!
After all, the sword in his hand is indeed a genuine divine weapon!
So, many ministers began to circulate in private, saying.... It's a pity that the Wanli Emperor doesn't publish books!
Such frivolous words were naturally opposed by another group of serious civil servants. After all, the emperor's main job is to govern the country, and writing novels is neglecting his duties!
Writing novels, can the things in the novels become real!
