Real person Yan Ruyu [Comprehensive Mythology]

When walking up Kunlun, Yuding didn't use mana or supernatural powers, but just walked up step by step, down-to-earth.

The journey of a thousand miles begins with one step before your eyes, and you can comprehend the avenue of heaven and earth by yourself, understand the laws of natural operation, and use this to unite knowledge and action to cultivate the Tao.

Unfortunately, after careful calculation, it has been tens of thousands of years since his transformation, but Yuding didn't really pay attention to this truth.

Looking back now, I can't help but sigh.

It was also fortunate that his master had such a good temper, so he didn't drive himself out of the door.

From the mountain gate to the cave, there is a long distance, but it is not as far away as thousands of miles. If you walk with your heart, you will always arrive.

"I am back."

Standing in front of the quiet bamboo forest, looking at the four bamboo houses, Yuding had a slight smile on his face.

As soon as the voice fell, the surrounding bamboos made a series of "rustling" sounds, as if the breeze was blowing through the bamboo forest, bringing a trace of response.

In fact, the reason why he chose to go down step by step just now is because he feels that his heart has not calmed down.

Although he was reminded by Tiandao, his thoughts suddenly became clear.

But understanding the truth does not mean that Yuding is ready to practice.

At this moment, Yuding is still thinking about what he should do.

The Tao can be the Tao, but the non-eternal Tao.

Tao itself does not specifically refer to a certain law, nor is it the consciousness of the world, or a certain existence, but it is the origin of everything.

Yu Ding had heard from his uncle before that even many innate gods didn't know what the origin was, but in the end they reached a consensus and named it "Tao".

The "Tao" mentioned here refers to the origin of everything.

The beginning of the unknown world is named the mother of all things, and in this way, it is the Dao.

This is also a famous sentence in the "Tao Te Ching" written by Laojun, but in Yu Ding's view, these two sentences do express a point of view, that is, existence and non-existence are actually the same. The state is in the middle of the road.

Dao produces one, and even all things.

Back then, everything in the chaos was empty, Pangu Heavenly King was born in it, holding a huge axe, opened up the world and opened up the world, and the four big ones appeared, and then Taiji, two rituals and four phenomena followed.

The yin and yang are one and the same, they are the exterior and interior of each other, and they are mutually rooted and mutually supported, just like Yuding's guess about gods and demons before.

The Dao is fifty, and the Tianyan is fourty-nine, so the way of heaven is the way, but it is not the way.

In the same way, no matter how useful the hints from Tiandao to Yuding are, they cannot be exhausted.

If he wants to find his own way, he cannot follow others.Or a hint from Heaven.

In the beginning, there was no road at all, and the road was walked by itself.

"Maybe the path taken by others can be followed by future generations, but it may not be suitable for me."

After standing in front of the bamboo forest for a while, Yuding was still confused.

Although there are clues, but based on this alone, it is not easy to figure out the key to the next step.

"Hey, that's all, left and right are just a trick of water."

Previously on the earth, observing the survival of hundreds of clans, Yuding felt a lot of emotion in his heart.

Anyway, he also knows that attachment cannot come, otherwise he will not get the true way, and everything will fall into the lower vehicle for no reason.

Perhaps the opportunity has not yet come?

Yu Ding is still relatively free and easy, he feels that since he can't find a clue for a while now, it may be that he has not found a suitable opportunity for him.

In other words, you may not know when the opportunity will come, and everything will happen naturally.

With this thought in mind, Yuding felt a little more relaxed.

After careful calculation, he had been in Kunlun for quite a while.

However, apart from playing around with Tongtian Manshan, he hadn't really traveled to the ancestor of Wanshan.

Now that all the gods are gathered in Jiuchongtian to help Taiyi build the heavenly realm, it seems that the Master from the family and the others will not be able to come back for a while.

At present, there is only him in Kunlun. Yuding took a bamboo branch and started to travel in Kunlun.

Thinking about it carefully, he had a feeling in his heart earlier when he found out that Good Fortune Qinglian was born, and Tong Tian couldn't help but drag him to find it.

I never thought that I ran into his master on the way back, and ended up being reprimanded.

But Yu Ding suddenly thought that at that time, his master also took such a bamboo branch to teach them "Cloud seal script".

Well, if I have to say it, I should actually call him alone.

After all, Tongtian is self-taught in this area without a teacher, and there is no need for a second study. As for being punished for copying books, it is purely done by the uncle himself.

Yuding was not the case. After all, his memory had been disrupted by the Dao of Heaven before, so that the inheritance of some innate protoss became a bit messy.

Recalling the previous bits and pieces, Yuding held the green bamboo branch in his hand and couldn't help laughing.

That was also tens of thousands of years ago. At that time, the three clans had not yet fought, but the prehistoric world was already undercurrent.

Today, the three clans of dragon, phoenix and kylin have become obsolete, but there are innate gods who come out to rectify the chaos and re-establish the rules.

But Yu Ding knew in his heart that according to the cycle, the divine court of the Protoss may not be able to maintain stability for a long time.

"You seem a little troubled?"

Unknowingly, he had finished turning Kunlun Mountain, and Yuding walked, but came to the foot of West Kunlun Mountain next door.

Just as he was thinking about this question, a very familiar voice sounded beside his ear.

Looking back, Yuding smiled, "Great Sage Bai Ze is not in the Heavenly Court to help His Majesty build the Heavenly Realm, why is he back?"

Now all the gods are helping to build the heavens. Goddesses like the Queen Mother of the West and Nuwa have been invited to the Nine Heavens together, so Kunlun is especially empty now, and most of the gods are basically not at home.

As soon as he heard that voice, he knew that there was no one else but Bai Ze.

Bai Ze's voice was different from other people's. Although it was as gentle as jade, it was also slightly indifferent, which was in line with his personality.

After all, Bai Ze is a divine beast who can foresee the past and the future——

Speaking of Bai Ze, Yu Ding felt that he and he were old acquaintances.

After all, they discovered the signs of the falling stars together at that time, and then they calculated the secrets together in the quiet room for a full 1 years.

"Construction of the heavens and the like, naturally have those colleagues to help, anyway, they are all supernatural powers and spells. You should know that these are not my expertise, not to mention that before I left, His Majesty was still discussing with your master and them about the gods and gods. I can't help you with these things, so why stay there if you don't leave?"

Before Taiyi established the Divine Court, all the gods made an oath in the Divine Court, so now the myriad of divine lights gather in the Nine Heavens, gathering the power of heaven and earth bestowed by the Heavenly Dao, and for a while officially pushed the Xiantian God Race onto the prehistoric stage.

In this meeting of the gods, as the initiator, Tai Yi was undoubtedly elected as the first emperor of heaven, but in official terms, his title should be "Eastern Emperor".

Of course, unlike the oriental god Qinglong Mengzhang who symbolizes the east, although there is a word "dong" in Taiyi's title, this word does not refer to him as the god of the east in a narrow sense, nor does it simply refer to the prehistoric oriental area. command.

Among the five directions and five elements in the world, the east is the master of vitality, so Yuding asked Meng Zhang to suppress the east sky.

On the other hand, Dongfang is also the head of the five parties, and Taiyi was born noble.

At present, the gods mainly gather in the east of the Great Desolation, so it is natural to call it the "Eastern Emperor".

"So the Great Sage is back?"

After listening to Bai Ze's explanation, Yu Ding smiled and didn't talk about this topic much.

Previously, the Supreme Master conferred the title of god, and Bai Ze was one of the ten great saints, with a high status in the divine court.

But as Bai Ze himself said, he is only proficient in "predicting the future". Other than that, he can't attack him, nor can he defend him.

Of course, Bai Ze is smart, although he can't help build the heavens, and he can't even make plans.

But in fact, he was still lazy, otherwise, Bai Ze would have known it by doing a random calculation.

It was precisely because Yu Ding saw through this point that he did not continue the topic.

"Hahaha, would you like to sit by my side?"

Looking at Yu Ding's expression, Bai Ze knew that he had understood.

Since the other party didn't point it out, he obviously didn't want to point it out. He was also relieved, and immediately showed his courtesy to Yuding.

"Then bother the seniors."

After thinking about it, Yuding did not reject Bai Ze.

The main reason is that among the innate gods, Bai Ze is indeed very intelligent, and the other party has the talent of "knowing the destiny", so it can make people awe-inspiring.

"Speak well, please."

Hearing that Yuding suddenly changed his name halfway, Bai Ze narrowed his eyes, and pointed at Yuding casually, indicating that he would go first.

Bai Ze's cave is the same as before, except that the secret room that was destroyed by thunder has now been repaired, and he has worked very hard these years.

"Drink tea?"

Before Bai Ze ran to join in the fun, when wandering around Zhoushan, he suddenly found some leaves.

These leaves are unattractive, but they are good for making tea.Although there is no benefit for improving cultivation, drinking a little can really refresh your mind.

Treating friends with tea should be regarded as a common etiquette among the gods.

Bai Ze's temperament, how should I put it, looks a little silly sometimes, and he will instantly become extremely enthusiastic about anything related to destiny.

And under this appearance, Yu Ding always felt that the other party was watching all this with an indifferent attitude.

It's like an outsider, although watching, but rarely choose to intervene.

"If the seniors don't bother, then it's time to work."

In the woods in the backyard of the cave, Bai Ze built a small pavilion. The environment in this courtyard is quiet. Apart from the large number of unnamed trees planted with jade tripods, there is also a shallow stream surrounding the entire courtyard.

"This tree grows densely, but does it have a name?"

Bai Ze was busy preparing tea sets, and then fetching spring water to make tea, so he didn't have time to take care of Yuding for a while.

Yuding was also out of sight, picked a stone pier at random and sat down, but then his eyes lingered on the surrounding trees.

The trees are dark red, and the leaves are a bit like maple leaves, but not necessarily, anyway, Yuding has never seen it before.

"This is a toon tree, with eight thousand years as spring and eight thousand years as autumn. Although it is particularly long-lived, it has no other special uses."

Bai Ze was holding a small pot in his hand, and when he heard Yu Ding's question, he answered casually.

"Big Tsubaki..."

After getting Bai Ze's answer, Yuding nodded.

Compared with ordinary trees, this kind of tree can indeed be called a "sacred tree".

After all, the unlucky races may not be able to complete a spring and autumn growth like them.

"Do you know why you haven't seen them outside?"

After working for a while, Bai Ze returned to Yuding with two cups of tea, but now he took the initiative to explain: "Before the three clans fought, this toon tree disappeared. The ones in my yard are still the same as before. In the early years, the Queen Mother of the West gave it as a young seedling, but now it has grown into a towering tree and multiplied into a forest."

Having said this, Bai Ze blinked, "This tea should be drunk while it's hot."

"Thank you."

Yu Ding always felt that Bai Ze's words didn't seem like casual chatter, but something in the words, but he thought about it, but he still didn't understand the true meaning.

In desperation, Yuding picked up the teacup and took a shallow sip.

Immediately, I really felt a heat flow from my mouth, and I felt my thinking was clear for an instant.

"It's really good stuff."

After drinking a few more sips, Yuding put down the teacup and smiled at Bai Ze: "This time I have inherited the kindness of my senior, but I can't beat the autumn wind."

As he said that, he flipped the jade cauldron casually, and there were two more ginseng fruits on the small stone table.

This was leftover from the last time they ate, Yuding was reluctant to throw it away, so he hid it in the leaves that Yang Mei gave him.

The leaves themselves are grown from Yang Mei's body, and there is a hint of space law hidden in them, so they can maintain the original appearance of the object, so that its aura will not be lost.

"Isn't this the grass-returning pill from Zhenyuanzi's family?"

Bai Ze's experience is much better than Yu Ding's. Just by smelling it, he guessed the origin of the ginseng fruit in front of him.

"When I visited Longevity Mountain earlier, senior Zhen Yuanzi was very polite and gave me a lot."

Picking up a ginseng fruit first, Yuding said again: "Senior gave me tea, I will return it with fruit."

"Tsk, I haven't grown up yet, but I have the demeanor of being a teacher. If Master Yuqing knows about it, I'm afraid it will be very happy."

Shaking his head, Bai Ze didn't ask Yuding how to preserve Cao Huan Dan.

Ginseng fruit is a good thing, if Yuding hadn't gone there in the state of a cub, according to Zhen Yuanzi's stingy character, I'm afraid he might not have given it.

Bai Ze only ate it once, but now with Zhen Yuanzi's ginseng fruit and this tea, it complements each other perfectly.

Yuding didn't want to take advantage of Baize for nothing, so he drank the tea from others and replaced it with ginseng fruit.

After all, although the ginseng fruit belonged to Zhen Yuanzi, the one that was given to Yuding was his.

Similarly, Bai Ze is also embarrassed to take advantage of the junior's "opportunity".

Now that he has eaten the fruit of Yuding, he feels that it is necessary for him to give some advice to this lost junior.

"I saw that you were in a trance when you came to the foot of my mountain, but why are you puzzled?"

Wiping off the juice stained on his hands casually, Bai Ze returned to his previous fairy-tale appearance.

"Ah, if senior didn't mention it, I wouldn't dare to ask. Now that senior is willing to point out, I do have a puzzle..."

These words were not meant to be polite, in fact, Yuding was really confused now.

Preaching, teaching, and dispelling doubts are originally the functions of a teacher.

But now his family's master is still in Jiuchongtian, and Yu Ding himself is too embarrassed to work on Master Master for such a trivial matter, so he can only keep it in his heart.

Bai Ze is a rather special god—or a divine beast.

From the other party, Yuding found some resonance, for example, they can both sense the destiny.

So in the face of Bai Ze's question, Yu Ding said it unconsciously.

"I've always felt a bit at a loss. Gods are transformed by rules, and they act on behalf of the heavens to protect one side. But people like me... I can be regarded as a genius, right? But with the eyesight of seniors, you should be able to see that there is nothing wrong with me. There are no rules."

Similarly, there is no authority over Yuding.

How should I put it, the reason why he returned to the earth with excuses before, apart from the fact that he did have some insights, was mainly because he watched the gods busy building the gods, but Yuding felt an "uncomfortable" feeling of being excluded.

Because compared to those natural gods, he doesn't have any authority in his hands.

That said, it's not that Yuding covets those powers.

But a god with authority in hand is like having a job, what they should do, and the plan of heaven, so there is almost no need to worry about it.

Just like Shi Chen turned into a candle dragon, after helping Zulong create the dragon clan, he took over the power of time, which belongs to his priesthood.

But Yuding didn't have it, so after thinking about it, he hesitated.

Sometimes Yu Ding even thinks that if he doesn't have the Dao law to establish himself, maybe he has been stuck on the hard threshold before adulthood.

"Are you finished?"

Listening to Yu Ding slowly narrating the things in his heart, Bai Ze didn't interject or interrupt, but chose to listen quietly.

After Yu Ding finished speaking, he asked another question. After getting a nod in response, Bai Ze thought for a while and said softly, "Let me ask you a question first."

"Senior, it's okay to say."

Putting the teacup on the table, Bai Ze asked, "What do you think is the biggest difference between us and ordinary races?"

"Of course there is."

The tea in the cup was completely drained, and it was placed in front of him. Yuding smelled the smell and felt that his emotions had calmed down.

This tea is indeed good tea, and now that he smells it like this, it can be regarded as not wasting the aura it reveals.

After a pause, after Yuding cleared his thoughts, he solemnly said to Bai Ze: "I heard from my seniors that you take eight thousand years as spring and eight thousand years as autumn for these toon trees. We innate gods , co-existing with the heaven and the earth, has jumped out of the natural cycle, just like a bystander."

For example, in the previous three-clan war, although all living beings on the earth were swept across, which god was involved in it?

Except for those who took the initiative to go out to do things, there was no one.

Compared with these gods, those ordinary creatures on the earth still have to suffer from birth, old age, sickness and death.

This is only because they are pawns in this game of chess, or people in the game, so whether they are active or not, they are all in it and cannot be detached.

Take the extinct Tsubaki tree as an example, eight thousand years old, does it sound like a long time?

For common species, maybe yes.

However, no matter how long it is, it will come to an end.

"Stupid child, in fact, God is the same. The seemingly long lifespan is linked to heaven and earth. You said that you don't have the law of the great way, but have you forgotten? You, like me, have the special talent of 'foreseeing the future' , You haven’t found the meaning of your existence yet, it’s just because the opportunity hasn’t arrived. There is no priesthood, no rules, no authority, none of these are the fundamental reasons why you can’t participate in it.”

Standing up from the stone pier, Bai Ze patted Yu Ding on the shoulder, "The reason why you are hesitating is because you said you were looking for it, but because you couldn't find the way, you wanted to give up. But I saw it, I saw it Your future. Maybe you are very different from ordinary gods, but one day, you will also shoulder the mission. Once you are in the position, you must bear the burden. This is the mission of our gods and angels , is destined, you can’t take it off, and you can’t throw it away. But you are still young, don’t worry, after all, the time is still long, but you can secretly pay attention.”

After saying these words, Bai Ze ignored the thoughtful Yuding, but walked slowly to the edge of the toon tree forest, and then stretched out his hand to caress the rough tree trunk.

This feeling is not very comfortable, just like his inner feelings at this moment.

Now the wind has stopped, but the heart is not still.

The road of Yuding, it seems that there is still a way to go...

The author has something to say:

Yuding: "I feel so useless, I don't understand anything, and I'm still eating and drinking here."

Bai Ze: "Young man, I think you can take over my heavy responsibility."

Tiandao: "Let's avoid it."
