Longevity begins with Orion

Chapter 248 246. Man and Heaven, old world and new world (please subscribe)

This year, the empty boats of Taixuanzong and the Five Spirits Alliance took back a large number of human visitors. However, in the past thousand years, there used to be only Li Ping'an's family, but now, it has changed due to the changes of the times.

This year, Li Ping'an, who entered the third level, found Master Wang and conveyed the request of the master of Muxuanmen, hoping that Master Wang would forge a third-level weapon for him - the formation flag.

Master Wang did not refuse, but said he needed to wait. There are many reasons for waiting, including insufficient materials, injured hands, poor condition, and unfinished work ahead. In short, there are no excuses in the market.

Master Wang, as a weapon maker, has a noble status. Originally, he only planned to give this kid a little power and let him know the importance of host and guest, but since he learned that Kongzhou was bringing back many new outsiders, he wanted to do more than just give him power.

Li Ping'an had to bow his head, he had to take what he wanted, he had to flatter them, and if he refused to give even a woman that "Ya Nei" liked, then what kind of bowing was that?

Concubine Yin's appearance is stunning, and she is rare even in the fairyland. It was originally just a local "yamen" matter, but slowly it has become a weather vane of "whether outsiders bow their heads or not."

Li Ping'an just endured it silently. He was waiting for the cave and his identity.

This year, Princess Zhongjing became more and more domineering and outrageous. She could no longer remember what her father looked like. She just remembered that there was such a man who played with her when she was very young, but the man's face was very blurry. Covered by the prosperity.

Fortunately, the group of people who doted on her were very reliable. For a princess who was unable to practice and could only live for a hundred or even decades, could they still bear to give the slightest harsh punishment to that man's child?

The fertile soil on this land is a gift from that man. The strongest force in the Ten Thousand Sects Academy on this land was also created by that man. It must be a blessing that fell on his daughter. Who can say anything?

Therefore, the unreliable Princess Zhongjing was forcibly transformed by a group of reliable people into an "overbearing young lady, but every evil thought turned into a good person and good deeds."

Not only Zhongjing, but also the surrounding areas of Zhongjing, and even several other people know that Princess Zhongjing is a kind princess. She has done many good things and helped many people. There are no less than tens of thousands of people who have survived directly and indirectly because of her favors, and There are countless lives that have changed for the better because of her.

In short, all the good people and good deeds in this land are ultimately blamed on Princess Zhongjing. Even the Emperor often likes to "become a bad person first, and then direct and act in a play because of the advice of Princess Zhongjing". The drama of "change", the disaster relief funds, and the allocation of warrior resources all have the shadow of Princess Zhongjing.

In the eyes of the world, Princess Zhongjing is a living Bodhisattva.

In Zhongjing City, many people have begun to call Princess Zhongjing the little Bodhisattva.

But Princess Zhongjing, who was labeled as a little Bodhisattva, was laughing like crazy. She was still playing crazily, getting whatever she wanted, and thousands of people would help her get it just by saying a word.

The label "Little Bodhisattva" also forcefully "crooked" her character, so "crooked" that she truly returned to the right path of "kindness". After all, now, whenever she travels, both the common people and the warriors who greet her will show her extremely friendly smiles, and they will even rush to offer their goodies to her.

Faced with such a group of people, faced with so many good intentions, faced with "little Bodhisattvas" one after another, Princess Zhongjing couldn't do anything even if she wanted to be unruly or do bad things.

Since the arrogant princess cannot be friendly to the world, then let the world be friendly to the princess first, and the princess will naturally be fine.

This is the life the Emperor arranged for her.

Only the Human Emperor can accomplish such an incredibly luxurious arrangement.

In a blink of an eye, five years have passed.

Over the years, Li Yuan is still contemplating that "word", "wood" and "whirlpool".

He is waiting for the Human Emperor and also for the changes in the Immortal Realm.

He no longer took the initiative to stir up trouble.

People who play chess should always have some patience, at least they won't have to jump in again in a hurry or panic before the move is settled.

During this period, he quietly had a private meeting with Queen Mother Xie, and looked at Xiao Yu'er and his daughter countless times.

But he is very patient and sober. He cannot show up because many interested people have noticed the anomalies in "Ximen Gucheng". Once "Ximen Gucheng" appears, the spotlight in this imperial capital will be high. Below, many secrets will be exposed.

People who play chess should not be in a conspicuous place on the chess board.

It would be fine if he was just a nameless little person, but the "Ximen Gucheng" is too conspicuous, too conspicuous to withstand investigation and observation.

However, he took advantage of this time to continue studying "words".

He asked Xiao Yan about the method of Heavenly Soul and Earthly Soul. It seemed that it required some kind of external treasure, and this treasure could only be found in the Immortal Realm.

The method of the third level of human soul seems to also require external treasures, and these treasures are also in the fairyland.

However, Li Yuan was not ready to go to the fairyland.

Back then, when he was in such a desperate situation to search for the Sixth Grade Dharma, he would patiently arrange various channels and wait until he had a clear picture before making a decision. Now he is not as bad as before.

From the previous conversation with Ying Zhuo Yao, he roughly guessed that the Immortal Realm was a behemoth that had existed for about 30,000 years. The foundation of such a behemoth could not be compared with that of Xia, Shang and Zhou combined.

Of course he won't go.

If the player playing chess is the middle piece in the game, he is either a "general" or a "handsome". How can he be a pawn across the river?

If he is eaten, then everyone related to him will become "food on the plate", free to eat.

So, he started to become a little ruthless after all.

After all, being too emotional will only lead to losing everything.

Li Yuan took advantage of the Queen Mother Xie's relationship and followed the Queen Mother to many places through human changes.

His acting skills have become so perfect that if he pretends to be a servant, no one will recognize his abnormality. Unless the Emperor of the People stares at him, then he will be exposed.

Queen Mother Xie is in the light, and he is in the dark.

This day.

Queen Mother Xie drove to Wan Zong Academy, surrounded by many guards and maids.

What he did was to visit the old Tianshi in Wanzong Academy Taoist Court on behalf of Li Yuan to talk about "words".

The Heavenly Master is well-informed and mysterious enough, and can always provide some information.

But the "character" that Queen Mother Xie wants to talk about is not the golden characters flowing around the human emperor when he takes action, but the "character" of "ancestral urn".

"Ancestral Urn" is also a pattern. If this pattern is written with the blood of a sixth-grade warrior, it can also be used to ward off evil spirits and repel ghost servants. If it is attached to itself, it will recover quickly, and it is common for broken limbs to be reassembled.

Wan Zong Academy is a very large academy, even much larger than the imperial palace. Its land is comparable to a county town, so the mountains and rivers are within it.

Not only that, the architectural style here is not as "monotonous" as that of the palace. There are luxury, elegance, tranquility, and so on.

This is where all the forces in the world gathered in the past, and it is also the birthplace of the "Military Division", the first of the seven divisions of the dynasty.

Once you enter here, you can become a disciple of the emperor.

Even if you don't become the emperor's disciple, you can still have the title of "student of the academy", which can be shown everywhere, which is an incredible status.

The seven green hills to the north of the Academy are the new site of the Taoist Court.

The one in the middle of the seven green hills is where the Tianshi Mansion, the head of the Taoist Court, is located.

In the elegant little studio, the Heavenly Master took the new spring spring and brewed new tea.

Queen Mother Xie just sat patiently by.

The Heavenly Master asked: "What does the Queen Mother want to ask?"

Queen Mother Xie said in an easy-going manner: "The ancestral urn."

Then, she smiled and said: "In recent years, the Ai family has always been thinking about the ancestors.

Why on earth is the vast land of Zhou Dynasty unable to break into the third level with the fourth level. "

Under the guise of thinking about Da Zhou, she was actually giving information to Li Yuantan.

The old Heavenly Master slowly cooked the tea, but when he heard the fish eyes in the pot moving slightly, and the water flowing out, he took the pot, poured the green tea soup into the jade cup with the mouth of the pot, and at the same time said slowly: "The ancestral urn is human. idea."

Queen Mother Xie asked: "Are human thoughts the things that fall on paper and can exert power?"

The Heavenly Master originally wanted to answer directly, but when he heard that the question seemed to be asked from a rather strange angle, he remained silent for a moment, and then slowly said: "Since the Queen Mother is asking a question, I don't dare to answer casually.

But it’s not just human thoughts that can exert power when put on paper. "

"Oh? Please give me some advice from Heavenly Master." Queen Mother Xie showed just the right amount of curiosity.

The old Heavenly Master said: "It has been recorded in the Taoist ancestral scriptures that if it falls into paper, it can still exert its power as a talisman.

A long time ago, the power of the talisman came from heaven, and then slowly turned into a human being. "

Queen Mother Xie said: "That is the thought of heaven and the thought of man."

The old Heavenly Master said: "The thoughts of Heaven are no longer thoughts, but the Tao."

After a brief pause, he said seriously: "The way of heaven."

"The way of heaven?"

The unfamiliar vocabulary made Queen Mother Xie also curious, "If Heaven has a way, wouldn't Heaven also be a practitioner? Then are all of us in the womb of this practitioner?"

The old Heavenly Master smiled and said: "Heaven is not a practitioner, it is just nature.

The writings of nature, the writings of heaven and earth, falling on paper are the ancient talismans.

The writer has the trajectory.

The natural world has its own movement, and ancient talismans follow this movement and draw mountains and rivers.

Nature is formless and qualityless, and ordinary people can't feel its trajectory even if they are in it.

But once you understand it, you can draw it.

When it is deployed, it will be thunderous, the sky will collapse and the earth will split, and mountains and seas will be overturned.

If we distinguish it from the present one, this talisman is the Tianlu. "

Two people drink tea.

The old Heavenly Master continued: "The ancestral organ of human beings, the human body is the vessel, the flesh and blood generate thoughts, and the thoughts feed the flesh and blood. The combination of the two is the correct trajectory.

With tracks, there are words.

This text is the ancestral inscription.

Ancestors, ancestors.

It means that thoughts come from ancestors, not from oneself.

However, if thoughts arise from others, there are limits.

Only by entering the greater self from the small self, staying in the aura, observing the scrolls of heaven and earth, and jumping out of the prison of ancestors, can we repair ourselves and return to ourselves. This is the return of our true self.

If the true self is returned, the ancestral urn will no longer be an ancestral urn, but a human urn. "

It was also the first time for Queen Mother Xie to hear these theories.

Although there are rumors outside that the realm of fifth-grade, fourth-grade and third-grade is "the five origins and nine ancestors have returned to their true self", but no one can correctly explain what "returning to their true self" means.

At this moment, Queen Mother Xie suddenly understood.

The old Heavenly Master paused briefly and then said patiently: "The old Taoist heard that the five smaller realms after the third level are the false realms created by the balance of yin and yang, and the true realm is painted from the beginning, including bronze, silver and gold.

in,

The balance of yin and yang creates a false state, where flesh and blood and thoughts are unified, and can be warmed and nourished all year round in the rich spiritual energy.

The real scene has been painted since the beginning. The paintings needed are the paintings handed down in the ancient palace of life. They were copied by great masters in ancient times and have been passed down to this day. The old Taoist heard that such paintings exist in the East China Sea.

As for bronze paintings, silver paintings, and gold paintings, it is a matter of introspection through paintings. Different stages are different paintings.

Painting is a corner of heaven and earth, a corner of life.

To make a painting out of people is to combine people with heaven.

If heaven and man truly become one, then the human jar will slowly turn into a heavenly jar. "

Empress Dowager Xie remembered these remarks deeply and said with a smile: "The Immortal Realm has its own way, so it has extradited many sinners in the Jianghu of Great Zhou Dynasty to the west.

Their paintings are naturally unavailable to us.

Then the Aijia would like to know if there are still ancient Tianlu?

If so, our Great Zhou Dynasty can grow stronger again, and we no longer have to worry about the barbarians in the West and the Immortal Territory in the East China Sea.

Even if the fourth grade lacks spiritual energy and paintings, it is difficult to enter the third grade, but there is still this Tianlu. "

The Heavenly Master was silent for a long time, then sighed, and then shook his head.

Queen Mother Xie asked: "Why?"

The old Heavenly Master said: "Because this day is no longer natural.

The trajectory of the past is in tatters.

The ancient Tianlu has also become useless.

Therefore, even if there are some heavenly treasures stored in the Daoting ancestral scriptures, they are of no use. "

Queen Mother Xie smiled and said, "The Ai family would like to borrow this ancestral scripture."

The old Heavenly Master smiled and said, "Old Taoist, I'll get it right now."

As he spoke, he turned around, tremblingly took out a box, opened it, and found a book wrapped in purple silk.

"This is copied by the veteran himself."

Queen Mother Xie took it and asked: "Why is this day no longer natural?"

The old Heavenly Master sighed with emotion: "I heard that five thousand years ago, there were no ghost lands and meat fields.

If a person is sick and the yin and yang are not balanced, there will be abnormalities in the body.

Even if the sky is sick, there will also be ghost lands and meat fields. "

Five thousand years ago, it was the Xia Dynasty.

Queen Mother Xie sighed softly, but didn't ask any more questions. Then she chatted with the old Tianshi about Taoist court and the world, and they had a good time.

When she was young, she worked as a secret guard, then as the leader of the secret guard, and later as the Queen Mother, Mrs. Baimei.

Therefore, princes and generals can chat with each other, traders and soldiers can chat with each other, and people from outside the world can also chat with each other.

As Queen Mother Xie left, Master Tian continued to sit cross-legged.

After a while, a purple-robed Taoist with red lips and white teeth and an extraordinary bearing walked out.

This is the Little Heavenly Master.

"The Queen Mother asked something strange today. It seemed like she just mentioned it casually, but she seemed to have already pointed it out." Little Heavenly Master said.

The Heavenly Master waved his hand and said, "It's not strange."

The Little Heavenly Master said: "She even asked about the Tianlu.

If she hadn't asked, Master would probably never mention these two words again, right? "

The old Heavenly Master said: "The Tianlu has long been useless and has become a means for folk Taoists to pretend to be gods and ghosts. Why bother mentioning it again?"

"Does the Tianlu really exist?" asked the little Celestial Master.

The old Heavenly Master took a deep look at the little Heavenly Master, and then said: "I have seen it before."

Then he added: "Thirty thousand years ago."

The little Heavenly Master was suddenly startled.

The old Heavenly Master said: "You often ask me where I come from and why I know so much.

The old Taoist will tell you today that the old Taoist came from 30,000 years ago. When he woke up, he didn't want to go back to sleep, so he walked out of the coffin in the eternal night and came to the human world.

Now, the deadline is finally coming.

Even if he is a third-level or fifth-level person, his lifespan is only 4,080 years.

Human life is limited, only the stars in the sky and the earth can last forever. "

The little Celestial Master was silent. He was personally trained by the old Celestial Master, and they had extremely deep feelings for each other. How could it not be uncomfortable to hear that the end of the omnipotent master was approaching?

After a long time, he asked: "Since the Tianlu is not there, why did the Queen Mother come to ask today?"

The old Heavenly Master said: "Because, a new Tianlu is about to be born."

The little heavenly master was stunned.

However, the old Heavenly Master stood up, turned around, and moved the wall to reveal a dark pavilion.

One side of the dark pavilion faces the sunset, and the soft rose-red skylight falls from the window, making the place extremely peaceful. However, the entrance to the dark pavilion shows the shadowy stone steps going down.

The old Heavenly Master walked into the darkness of the stone steps, then turned around and waved, "It's time to teach you the true Taoism."

The little Heavenly Master followed him in with a sad look on his face.

A few days later.

Everyone in the Taoist court wears filial piety.

The Heavenly Master has gone.

A few more days.

The little Celestial Master sat back on the futon in Xiaozhai, the same futon where the old Celestial Master had been sitting on all year round, but there was a look of vicissitudes of life in his eyes.

There are always people in this world who are not willing to wait for death, but want to take another chance when the world is in chaos.

Those who sleep in the Tomb of the West Pole God are only humans after all.

The little heavenly master held his chin and thought for a long time, and sighed to himself for a long time: "If heaven changes, it will happen once in a lifetime to seize the body, and it will be extremely evil."

However, the road to heaven for the second grade may not be in the east, the great road is ahead, so I have to feel sorry for it. ’

Queen Mother Xie did not enter the palace, but took advantage of the spring scenery to go to the royal palace by a lake.

At night, in the spring gauze tent, the dignified and solemn Queen Mother was leaning in the arms of a man, her stretched long legs were tiredly attached to the man's side, and her wonderful eyes were staring at the side of the man's face.

The man is Li Yuan.

A moment later in the spring night, peach blossoms bloomed outside the window.

Li Yuan began to look through the Tao Ting Ancestor Scripture that he took from the old Heavenly Master.

The theory of "Heaven and man are in ruins" came to his ears through Empress Dowager Xie.

Before traveling through time, he had seen some talismans.

Those talismans actually relied on the power of the gods in the sky.

Therefore, the drawings in the talismans are mostly "simple drawings" representing the images of certain gods, coupled with the seal of the Heavenly Master that is enough to prove their identity, and thus give orders to borrow their divine power.

In other words, the source of power of the talisman before he traveled was the God in the sky.

But the talismans in the ancestral scriptures of this alien world are completely different. There is no "edict", no "simple drawing of the gods", and no "seal". Instead, they look like oracle bone inscriptions.

For example, a "drought basket" has a "sense of twisted and drooping trees" underneath, and a "circle with a dot in the center" above it.

The former represents dehydrated, sun-dried vegetation, while the latter clearly represents the sun.

The sun makes all things on the earth dry up and wither. Isn’t it called drought?

Li Yuan raised his finger and drew back and forth on the "dry basket", but he didn't feel anything.

He looked at a "fire jar" again.

The whole shape of this "fire basket" is like a spurting flame, and there are two small points between the flames like bursting sparks.

He traced the basket again with his finger, but there was still no reaction at all.

"Do you see anything?"

Queen Mother Xie stretched out her hand to touch him, and then said with a smile, "Things drawn by ghosts are of no use.

The ability of Tao Ting is only the inheritance of a line of shadow blood. In the words of the old master, it is also a human body.

There is no such thing as a heavenly urn. "

As soon as Li Yuan turned his head, he saw the spring color in the Queen Mother's eyes, so he temporarily put the ancestral scripture on the side of his pillow, then pushed her gently, and then the cicada attached it.

There are palace maids and guards outside this place, so the two of them cannot make too much noise.

For a long time, the Queen Mother lay on her side tiredly.

Under the spring quilt, the carcass was piled with white greasy snow.

Li Yuan relied on the white oil and took out the ancestral scripture to read.

He already had a guess in his mind.

The trajectory of heaven and earth forms the Tianlu.

The Tianlu contains great power, but it will not be seen by mortals.

But now, the world has changed drastically, and the original trajectory has been reversed, so the heavenly basket can now be placed on paper.

It may have been seen by mortals, but it was also because he had no power.

‘Even if the world is sick, it is still heaven and earth. So, is it possible that what is circulating around this Human Emperor is a new heaven and earth? ’

‘This pattern cannot be recorded, even if I look at it with my front eyes and forget it with my second eyes.

Mortals who see this pattern will be affected and die in various ways.

But if there is a realm, the fifth-grade can barely resist, but cannot use this power at all; the fourth-grade, and third-grade like him can see it and will not be affected, but they cannot use it. ’

Li Yuan shook his head. He flipped through the ancestral scriptures for a while and read it back and forth several times until he had memorized it completely. Then he said: "In a few days, I will send you back to the Tianshi Mansion. After all, it belongs to the old Tianshi." Relics.”

"Um."

The Queen Mother responded, and then suddenly said, "A few days ago, the Ai family received news from the East China Sea.

It is said that a fisherman rescued an immortal at sea.

That immortal is actually only a fifth-grade person, but in the eyes of fishermen, those who can fly are immortals.

These fifth levels are actually from the Middle Earth to the Immortal Realm. He said that almost all the powers in the Middle Earth have follow-up third-level methods in the Immortal Realm, whether they are the Five Elements forces, Buddhism, or aristocratic families.

Among them, the Five Elements Force and Tao Ting seem to belong to a transcendent force called Taixuan Sect; the Lotus Sect and Buddhism belong to the Five Spirits Alliance; and the rest of the aristocratic families belong to the hidden sects.

Among them, the Taixuan Sect and the Five Spirits Alliance were fine, but the Hidden World Sect was quite difficult to enter. Those of the fifth rank were those who had never entered the Hidden World Sect and were kicked out.

Before joining a force, survival on that land became difficult.

The fifth grade said that the air in the Immortal Realm is different from that in our Middle Earth. The air in the Immortal Realm is called spiritual energy. Cultivation in places with strong spiritual energy will get twice the result with half the effort and there will be no hidden dangers.

In recent years, the aura of the Immortal Realm has been rising at a terrifying speed, which allows the Immortal Realm forces to afford more and more practitioners.

But correspondingly, the number of monsters with spiritual intelligence is also increasing.

These many strong men and monsters made that land extremely dangerous. Without power to rely on, one would almost certainly die in the wild.

In fact, he still had a choice, which was to stay in the mortal kingdom of the Immortal Realm, but he wanted to return to Middle-earth, so he crossed the sea to return. "

Li Yuan did not ask about "the mortal kingdom of the immortal realm", but asked: "What is the identity of the fifth grade?"

The Queen Mother said: "It's funny to say that these fifth-grade people are actually my Xie family. I don't know where I heard about the method of going west."

Li Yuandao: "That would be interesting.

How did he get to the fairyland?

How did he come back alive? "

The Queen Mother said: "The Ai family thinks that the Immortal Realm is full of spiritual energy, and maybe they are thinking of collecting some ready-made fifth- and fourth-grade products to increase their strength.

Many masters in Middle-earth have become their targets.

He can go because the Immortal Realm condones it.

He can come back with the tacit consent of the Immortal Realm.

The Immortal Realm dare not set foot in the Middle Earth because of the Human Emperor, but they are not afraid of visitors from the Middle Earth at all. "

Li Yuan couldn't help but think of the everlasting night that was spreading rapidly.

Jianshan Pass has been engulfed by wind and snow.

Even Yunshan Road is almost completely dark.

Meat fields can be seen everywhere in Zhongjing, and ice cellars are already filled with high-quality field meat.

Wan Zong Academy recruited batch after batch of disciples;

Almost all the soldiers in the Ministry of War have become seventh grade;

At first, Xie Feng's Hanzhou cavalry actually turned into 30,000 sixth-grade soldiers. Although there were no sixth-grade mounts, the combat strength of the Hanzhou cavalry had reached 840,000.

An unprecedented prosperous age and an unprecedented apocalypse.

But if we say it's the end of the world all of a sudden, it won't be the end of the world. Now it's more like the alternation of the new world and the old world.

Li Yuan is still waiting for the Human Emperor.

From Xie Wei's mouth, he knew that the Human Emperor was getting more and more irritable. He who had never punished indiscriminately before actually showed signs of bloodlust.

However, he did not know the Human Emperor's decision.

If the Human Emperor rejects his expectations, then he can only rely on himself to control stronger power as quickly as possible.

The first is the inheritance of the Immortal Realm, and the second is the "Heavenly Barrel" harvested from the power of the Human Emperor.
