This is Fengshen, what's the use of hard work

Zishou was shocked by the truth that Meng Qi told. Although he had guessed a little in advance, he still showed a shocked expression when the truth was quite as he thought.

Meng Qi looked at Zishou with a smile on his face, and said, "Is the prisoner surprised?"

"With Lord Warden's knowledge and wisdom, he should have already guessed."

There was no sarcasm in his words, but the corners of Zishou's mouth couldn't help trembling slightly.

Zishou calmed down his other thoughts in an instant. He took a deep look at Meng Qi, and then said, "How did you get this news? How did you know things that I, as a jailer, can't know? "

There was a nostalgic and sad look in Meng Qi's eyes, as if he was caught in a burst of past memories and couldn't extricate himself.

Zishou did not hurry to urge Meng Qi, but waited patiently and quietly.

The battle in the Earth Immortal Realm was over, and all the invading gods and demons were wiped out by Meng Qi with one move.

Although the deputy head of the Chaos Qilin First Legion has completely exposed Honghuang's beacon to all the gods and demons in the entire chaos, it will take time for these gods and demons to kill Honghuang.

In a short period of time, Honghuang has been safe and can develop with peace of mind for a period of time.

So he also had a lot of time to communicate with Meng Qi slowly.

After a long time.

It was only after Meng Qi's eyes became clear again that he raised his head and smiled apologetically at Zi Shou, and said, "Master Warden has kept you waiting."

He paused, and then said: "I don't know if the prisoner knows my experience?"

Zishou didn't evade this question either. He found that Meng Qi did know a lot of things, which was of great help to him in understanding the Primordial Prison, so he didn't mind revealing some of his secrets in front of the other party.

So, he nodded and said, "I know a little bit."

Sure enough, Meng Qi wasn't surprised by this. He continued, "Does the prisoner know that in the world I live in, what is the Tao fruit that ascetics pursue?"

Zishou recalled the information about the world of the Lord of the World.

Some new memories slowly emerged in my mind.

The whole world has reached the end of the kalpa, and all the ascetics pursue the fruit of the Tao.

The so-called Dao Fruit: Unknowable and undiscussed, the real state of detachment.Omniscient, ubiquitous, omnipotent, a state where you can be wrong if you say it or think about it.

The creation of the world can be speculated, but the fruit of the Dao cannot be predicted.

Dao fruit is the highest pursuit, just like the supreme grandeur pursued by all ascetics in the prehistoric world.

People who respect the world for the first time pursue the Tao fruit, but there are very few people who know what the Tao fruit is.

People in the prehistoric world pursue the supreme primordial, but they don't even know what the supreme primordial is.

Zishou raised his eyelids, looked at Meng Qi, and said, "The Dao Fruit is the end, the end of everything. Therefore, there is only one Dao Fruit in an era."

"This is contrary to the things in the world you pursue, which have a glimmer of life."

Meng Qi's face trembled for a moment, and he laughed at himself after a while, and said, "What the prisoner said is very true."

"After he defeated the Golden Emperor and the Demon Buddha, I opened up the world on the boat of doomsday, proclaiming that if I am respected in the world, then everything in the world will have a chance."

"However, I failed."

From Meng Qi's accusation, Zishou knew that the opponent had failed in creating the world, but he was curious, with Meng Qi's strength, why did he fail?

He looked at Meng Qi and said, "Why did you fail? Because you were blocked by Chaos God and Demon?"

Meng Qi nodded, and said: "In my world, there are indeed chaotic creatures. They are different from the chaotic gods and demons here, but they are all born after the fusion of laws and the power of chaos."

"They did come to hinder me from opening up the world, because the real opening up of the world, the origin of the world, this thing is the only thing that can quickly, non-destructively, without consumption, and greatly improve the origin of chaotic creatures."

Zishou's expression changed slightly.

Through the World Tree, he has already understood everything that happened in the Earth Immortal Realm, so he naturally knows a thing or two about the reason why the Chaos Gods and Demons went crazy when he restored the world.

He also knew that the real creation of the world is completely different from creating a piece of heaven and earth or a holy city of gods and demons in the chaos.

The real creation of the world will attract the covetousness of gods and demons, this point is already known, but he tasted another meaning from Meng Qi's words.

He looked into Meng Qi's eyes and asked, "It's not just the creatures of chaos who are staring at the origin of the world, right?"

"The existence that made you fail to open up the world is not those chaotic creatures."

A look of surprise appeared on Meng Qi's face, apparently he did not expect Zishou to grasp the metaphor in his words so accurately.

He shook his head, smiled hoarsely, and said, "Master Warden is worthy of being a jailer, with a meticulous mind."

He nodded again as he spoke, affirming Zishou's conjecture, and said, "Yes, it's not just chaotic creatures that are staring at the origin of the world. But I can't tell what it is, I don't know."

"I only know that something stopped me, tearing up the world I opened up, breaking all causes and effects, and shattering all the efforts of beings in countless epochs."

Speaking of this, Meng Qi's always indifferent and calm face also showed a hint of gnashing of teeth.

After a long time, he spoke again: "Lord Prisoner, after I failed to open up the world, all the mighty people on the Doomsday Boat gave up their lives."

"They did everything to send me here. Let me be here for relief, let me be here for answers."

He looked at Zishou, and said word by word: "Master Prison, the Prison of the Ancient Emperor is not a prison, this is the end of Dao and Fruit, a place of cause and effect between existence and non-existence."

"The Immemorial Prison is a prison, and it is the heart prison of every prisoner."

"The so-called catastrophe is not a murder, but a cause and effect that binds oneself. It is the most difficult thing to let go of in the heart."

"The killing and robbery of the former inmates disappeared, but they thought about it."

Zishou's eyes widened slowly, and at this moment, he finally had a deeper understanding of the Primordial Prison, and a deeper understanding of all the prisoners.

His thoughts swept around, and he could clearly sense the other four extremely shocked consciousnesses.

Those were Hong Yi, Fang Yun, Meng Hao, and Wang Teng.

Although they couldn't come here in person, the four of them had been consciously listening to the conversation between Zishou and Meng Qi in the Prison of the Primordial Emperor.

This is a matter of tacit approval by the disciples, so there is no hindrance to their hearing.

At this moment, hearing the truth about the Primordial Prison and the secrets closely related to themselves, they were all greatly shocked.

As the children of luck in the whole world, they are very clear that the cause and effect that they can be aware of is easy to solve, but the cause and effect that cannot be detected by their own consciousness is difficult to solve.

They are indeed released from prison now, but they have not really left the Primordial Prison.

Compared with the prisoner in the Gengzi Cell who returned to the original world in a chic way, strictly speaking, they just went to prison in a different way.

So, they are still in prison.

But they have no idea what their inner prison is.

The three of Hong Yi who were recuperating in Chaoge City looked at each other, and they all saw incomparable shock in each other's eyes.

It's not a good thing for a cultivator, a Taoist, who can't even comprehend his own heart.

However, after all, they are the children of luck in one world, and they are powerful talents who have gone through countless trials to achieve their current achievements.

After a brief shock, they quickly calmed down.

In any case, knowing this now has pointed them in a direction.

In the E-shaped prison cell.

Zishou's mood also experienced a big ups and downs, but he still quickly suppressed all the thoughts in his heart. He looked at Meng Qi, spoke slowly, and said:
"In this way, fellow Daoist Meng Qi, the only way for you to eliminate the calamity is to think about it yourself, and the only way for you to think about it is to open up the world."

Meng Qi nodded heavily, and all the sentimentality and nostalgia in his eyes turned into obsession and determination: "That's right."

Zishou looked at Meng Qi, and after a long time, he said with a half-smile: "In this case, I can't help you 'eliminate your crime', only you can figure out a way."

Meng Qi smiled dumbly, and said, "Master Warden is joking, after becoming a prison guard, this is your responsibility, isn't it?"

He knew exactly what Zishou meant by "cannot help".

Zishou was worried that he would attract some uncontrollable existences when he created the world near the prehistoric.

He looked into Zishou's eyes and said, "Lord Prisoner, I will definitely not let Honghuang become the next world to be destroyed."

"I have experienced it, and I will never let the same thing happen to Honghuang."

Only after losing everything can we understand the suffering of all beings more clearly.

Zishou laughed, he believed in Meng Qi's guarantee, because the other party was not only making a promise to him, but also a promise to the prisoner of the Primordial Prison.

Even Hong Yi and his three former prisoners who have been released from prison cannot get rid of this cause and effect.

After a pause, he said: "Then, the karma you used to kill all the chaotic gods and demons before, your so-called Primordial Prison is the ultimate place of karma."

"Is these karma the same as the great avenue of karma?"

He has mastered the complete Dao of Karma through the World Tree, and Jin Chanzi also comprehended the Dao of Karma under the World Tree.

However, neither he nor Jin Chanzi would be able to achieve Meng Qi's stunning strike before.

That blow is cause and effect.

But it is not the cause and effect of prehistoric times.

Just like the ancient imperial prison is the ultimate place of cause and effect, but it is definitely not the cause and effect understood by all living beings.

Meng Qi smiled slightly and said, "Master Warden, you already have the answer, don't you?"

"The prisoners in the Prison of the Primordial Era were locked up by the Prison for 'existence'. From the perspective of the prison master, this existence is the primordial spirit? True spirit? Cause and effect? ​​Memory? History? Or what?"

Zishou also smiled, and another doubt in his heart was answered.

The avenues of the prehistoric, and even all the avenues in the entire chaos beyond the prehistoric, are only the avenues that living beings and gods and demons at this level can understand.

Above it, there is a higher level.

It's just that that level is unknowable and unmeasurable to the sentient beings and gods and demons at the current level.

The only way to describe this Dhamma is: "Being".

Seeing the knowing look on Zishou's face, Meng Qi showed a smile, and with a wave of his hand, he saw that the originally empty and empty cell had turned into a quiet room.

A square table appeared in front of him and Zishou.

On the table, sandalwood is curling up, and the aroma is overwhelming.

A teapot and a pair of quaint teacups appeared on the table.

Meng Qi laughed and said, "Master Warden has the best tea in the world, so I won't make a fool of myself. Why don't we sit down and drink tea and talk?"

The corner of Zishou's mouth twitched lightly. It was the first time he had seen this way of bringing out teapots and cups, and offering tea to those who did not.

But he didn't care, just smiled and waved his hand, and the best World Tree Dao tea appeared in the teapot.

Immediately, the house was filled with the aroma of tea.

Meng Qi poured a cup of tea for Zishou himself, and then said, "Lord Prisoner, the Great Desolation is the real world created by Pangu, and it also has the origin of the world."

"However, when you restored the beginning of the world, did you discover the origin of the world?"

Zishou shook his head.

He was also wondering about it.

When he first learned about the existence of the origin of the world from the chaotic gods and demons, he also wondered why he hadn't discovered the origin of the world at all.

Now being reminded by Meng Qi, he became even more confused.

He looked at Meng Qi and said, "What will the origin of the world be like?"

With a smile in his eyes, Meng Qi said, "It can be any existence."

"Maybe it's a part of the world, or a race, or a certain power, or maybe even the first newborn light in the world."

"The origin of the world can be any existence, and no description can describe it specifically, but any creature will know what it is the moment he sees the origin of the world."

Zishou's expression changed slightly.

The origin of the world can be any existence?
So what is the origin of the prehistoric world?
Samcheong?

Demon clan?

Witch?

Human race?

Innate spirit root?

Heaven's Will?

will not.

Since all living beings will naturally know the origin of the world when they see the origin of the world, then none of what he thinks of is the origin of the world.

Meng Qi spoke again at this time, and reminded: "Master Prisoner, Honghuang's original fate is right. Kyushu should have been shattered, and the Earth Immortal Realm was refined into four continents, which became the place where Journey to the West took place."

"If a world with its origin loses its origin, it will be wiped out in an instant. However, even in the original fate, the prehistoric world has not really been shattered."

"This shows that the origin is not in the original human world, it is either in Hongjun's hands, or it is in the earth fairy world."

Zishou's expression was shocked, and things that had been neglected by him came to his mind.

Indeed, in the original prehistoric fate, the Earth Immortal Realm also experienced three calamities of Journey to the West, Demon and Buddha, and Tiantiao.

Although Luohuang has been weakening as a whole, it has not been destroyed.

This proves that the origin of the prehistoric world has always been there.

Could it be that the origin of the prehistoric world is the Book of the Earth, the Classic of Mountains and Seas?
Zishou raised his head and looked at the Earth Immortal Realm, his expression became a bit strange. He said slowly, "Hongjun disappeared, Hong Tian was arrested, and the Earth Immortal Realm has become a battleground for gods and demons."

"Zhen Yuanzi and the book from the earth have disappeared. Xuandu has searched the entire earth fairy world, but he can't find Zhen Yuanzi."

"The Earth Immortal Realm is just the fragments that were originally blasted out by the prehistoric world. The one-year battle of gods and demons has not destroyed it. The stability of this world cannot be achieved by a fragment of heaven and earth."

Speaking of it.

Zishou remembered the original fate again.

Zhen Yuanzi used his own strength to stand alongside Buddhism, Taoism and Taoism during his journey to the west, drinking and discussing Taoism with Sanqing.

Is Zhen Yuanzi really just a Hunyuan Golden Immortal?
The corner of Zishou's mouth slowly curled up with interest, he smiled slightly and said: "It seems that Honghuang is not as simple as I thought."

"This world is even more interesting."

This Primordial Prison is becoming more and more mysterious.

Although Zishou understands why the sinners in the prison can be released from prison after eliminating the cause and effect.

Because this place is the emperor's own prison.

The calamity of cause and effect is the heart demon of the protagonists of all worlds,

Here, is the heart prison.

So to eliminate calamity is to eliminate inner demons.

But since the Primordial Prison is a heart prison, why would people like Hong Yi appear here at the same time.

Why did the ancient imperial prison come into being?

The more he knew about the Primordial Prison, the more he felt that it was full of secrets and dense fog.

He used to think that these people, including the Primordial Prison, were born because of his consciousness, but now it seems that it is obviously not the case.

Because, Emperor Huangtian's cell is empty.

He looked dimly at the empty cell.

It reminded him of a skill used by Emperor Huangtian to fight in bloody battles through the ages.

He is at ease.
