Chapter 18: Schrödinger's Cat
Zhang Yuan was silent for a while, which was regarded as expressing his remembrance for the three psychic saints who had the ability to educate the human race, Zhang Yuan's heart was a little sad, and he didn't expect that the Three Emperors ended their own era under such circumstances.
It was not that Zhang Yuan had not guessed that the Three Emperors, as the saints of the people's mental power among the human race, went to the Huoyun Cave to cultivate after the completion of the education, and the later generations had not heard of any incident in which the Three Emperors participated in the flood famine, so why did they suddenly disappear into the long river of history?
If it is said that the saints of Taishang Laojun or Yuan Shi Tianzun may have to join the later catastrophe because of the inheritance of their own Taoism, which led to the fall of the saints, then the three emperors basically don't care about everything above the flood at all, why did they fall, now Zhang Yuan understands, everything is because of Hongjun, at this moment, Zhang Yuan also has to admire Hongjun's handwriting, directly let the three emperors reincarnate, cut off Yingzheng's luck among the human race, Yingzheng has no invincible reason, Yingzheng did not die directly is already the greatest luck。
"Shen Gongbao, are you looking for me this time to talk about these things?" After the remembrance was over, Zhang Yuan asked.
"Of course not, this time I invite you to come over, mainly to ask you about my next actions, at this moment the emperor Fuxi and the emperor Sun Xuanyuan have all grown up, and Yingzheng has also dissipated his luck quickly because of the tyranny of these years, so in this world, Yingzheng is destined to give up, originally my plan was to directly accept Yingzheng as an apprentice, but after Hongjun paid attention to this matter, I dispelled this idea, but at this moment Yingzheng is about to come to the end of his life, and Hongjun no longer continues to pay attention to him, I just want to ask you, whether I continue to protect him?”
Ying Zheng's ending has become a foregone conclusion, that is, from now on, he will hide in the underground palace to save his life, but all this cannot be said by his own mouth, if it is someone else, Zhang Yuan will not have such scruples at all, but Ying Zheng will have some intersections with himself in the future generations, Zhang Yuan is afraid that if he participates, it will make Ying Zheng's fate change, so it will not be good if it affects himself in future generations, so Zhang Yuan still hopes that Shen Gongbao himself decides, Zhang Yuan believes that as long as he does not participate, history will automatically run according to his original trajectory。
"Yingzheng's matter, I can't have any participation at the moment, so what should be done in this matter is all up to your own thoughts, no matter what your choice is, I will support you unconditionally. ”
Listening to Zhang Yuan's words, Shen Gongbao fell silent, and Shen Gongbao's eyes gradually brightened in the dark, in fact, what he was waiting for was Zhang Yuan's words, as long as he got Zhang Yuan's support, Shen Gongbao had nothing to fear.
"Uncle Shi, in fact, not long ago Luo Zheng senior came to me, when he told me, in fact, since you first told me to take care of Ying Zheng, you have been involved in Ying Zheng's fate, because of your entrustment, so Ying Zheng from birth to now, I have been hiding in the dark to take care of him silently, so many years, Ying Zheng seems to have become a child of mine, so I can no longer give up, so I want to save his life, at the same time, Luo Yu senior also taught me a formation, saying that it can be hidden from Hongjun's exploration in a short period of time, but I have no bottom in my heart, so I want to ask you for advice in the endSince you support me, then I will risk my life and do something against the way of heaven. ”
The development of things did not surprise Zhang Yuan, and at the same time, Zhang Yuan finally knew where the two of them were staying now, this is clearly the mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang Yingzheng, of course, it is not the miniature world that Zhang Yuan entered, but above the real mausoleum, in the fake mausoleum, now Shen Gongbao is waiting for himself again, that is, after waiting for his consent, he will set up the formation taught by Luo Yu here.
What was expected, Zhang Yuan didn't think much about it, but what surprised Zhang Yuan was what Luo Yu said, it turned out that Ying Zheng had such an ending today, or because he was involved in Ying Zheng's fate, just because of his own words, Ying Zheng, who was supposed to end, did not fall, but hibernated, waiting for the day when he saw the light of day, at this moment, Zhang Yuan seemed to have a deeper understanding of fate.
"What is Yingzheng doing at this moment? Is he already terminally ill?"
"No, I can't completely understand the formation taught by Luo Yu's predecessors, so even if I arrange the formation, I can only draw a scoop according to the gourd, as for the effect of the formation, I can't guarantee it, but since I want to do it, I must do the best, so I let Ying Zheng find the second and third sets of plans by himself, no matter which one it is, as long as one can be successful, presumably Ying Zheng can hold his life. ”
After listening to Shen Gongbao's words, Zhang Yuan understood that Shen Gongbao was only afraid that he had already prepared a plan to save Yingzheng, so he would prepare several sets of plans, as for the reason for inviting himself, it was just that when the incident happened, he could hold his life in Hongjun, but Zhang Yuan did want to know what Shen Gongbao's other two plans were.
"What are the other two plans?" Zhang Yuan asked.
"Ying Zheng's body has the characteristics of Wu Zu, so it may be impossible for him to practice in a short period of time to cultivate his soul so that he can achieve immortality, so I asked him to find some heavenly treasures that can rejuvenate the body to take, so Ying Zheng sent Daqin's national teacher to the overseas Penglai Sanshen Mountain to find, but this Penglai Sanshen Mountain has been in motion, they want to find it I am afraid that it will take some luck, if you find it, of course it is the best, but if you can't find it, I am ready to complete the formation here, if you have time, I will go to find it in person, the other is the original co-owner Dayu, who has the wisdom of a saint, The power of the human race, and the thoughts of the people have created a magic weapon beyond the way of heaven to suppress the gradually separated Kyushu, so I am ready to let Ying Zheng collect the magic weapon completely, and then suppress all the breath of Ying Zheng, in this way, the possibility of hiding the Dao ancestor Hongjun will be greater, at this moment, I heard that Ying Zheng has found all the components of the magic weapon, and is on the way back at the moment. ”
Zhang Yuan at this moment is really a little surprised, I didn't expect that Ying Zheng did several things to seek immortality are all related to Shen Gong Leopard, it seems that Shen Gong Leopard has really developed feelings for Ying Zheng through years of secret protection, for him he didn't even care about offending Daozu Hongjun, but Zhang Yuan also knew that Xu Fu, who was looking for the elixir of life, never came back after leaving, so Shen Gong Leopard could only go to find it by himself, and successfully left Ying Zheng's life at the last moment, as for the successful collection of Jiuding at this moment, but there was an accident on the way back, resulting in Xu Ding's whereabouts unknown, looking at everything in front of him, Zhang Yuan was full of emotion, I don't know if this is fate.
The three Terran Collectors have been successfully born on the Flood Continent, so at this moment Yingzheng's fate is doomed, so Hongjun is not as vigilant as Yingzheng was at the beginning, and then he relaxed his vigilance and let the Terran's own affairs be solved within itself, and at this time, there is a chance for Shen Gongbao, as long as Shen Gongbao can successfully renew his life for Yingzheng, then it is possible to accept him as an apprentice and make it possible for him to embark on the road of cultivation, but this Yingzheng is also a bumpy path of cultivation, and he was hidden in this mausoleum by his teacher for more than a thousand years, but fortunately, the final result is still good, Yingzheng finally succeeded in regaining the light of day, and at that time, there was no longer the suppression of the Heavenly Dao, and his identity as a disgusting person did not matter.
Thinking of that past, Zhang Yuan was a little emotional, if he had known that Ying Zheng was Shen Gongbao's disciple earlier, I am afraid that there would not have been so many things at the beginning, thinking of this, Zhang Yuan suddenly felt that he should tell Shen Gongbao about this matter at this moment, so that Ying Zheng knew that he was his uncle earlier, so that he would not have to endure those pains at that time when he had become history.
"Shen Gongbao, since you have decided to take Ying Zheng as your disciple, aren't you going to tell him, my uncle?"
Listening to Zhang Yuan's words, Shen Gongbao suddenly stopped the movement in his hand, looked at Zhang Yuan in a little daze, and Zhang Yuan understood from Shen Gongbao's expression that this Shen Gongbao really didn't plan to tell his disciple about it, Zhang Yuan suddenly felt a trace of sadness.
"Uncle Shi, since the first day I learned the Tao, my teacher told me a sentence, the minimum standard of a cultivator is to respect the teacher, so, since the successful refining of my cave mansion, I first enshrined my teacher Yuan Shi Tianzun in my residence, although at this moment he may no longer take me as a disciple, but he is my teacher after all, so I dare not forget for a moment the respect I should have, as for you, to be honest, you are more like my teacher than my teacher, without your words, maybe Shen Gongbao at this moment would have died long ago, but in the conversation with Luo Yu's seniors, I understood one thingMy greatest respect for you is to forget about you. ”
Zhang Yuan frowned deeply, his heart was full of doubts, why did he say that the greatest respect is to forget, for a while, Zhang Yuan was puzzled by this, so Zhang Yuan didn't speak, just looked at Shen Gongbao suspiciously, hoping that Shen Gongbao could give himself a satisfactory answer, otherwise, Zhang Yuan's emotional contribution to Shen Gongbao would be extremely disappointed.
After a pause, Shen Gongbao continued: "Senior uncle, in the era you live in, have you ever heard that I had a senior uncle like you?"
"Of course not, not only is there no this, but even in the history I have studied since I was a child, I have never mentioned that Yingzheng will be your disciple. ”
After Zhang Yuan finished speaking, he was waiting for this Shen Gong Leopard to explain to him, but after waiting for a while, he found that Shen Gong Leopard was standing beside him like a stone statue without saying a word, as if he was asleep, Zhang Yuan pushed Shen Gong Leopard's body and asked, "What's wrong with you?"
With a deep sigh, Shen Gongbao shook his head and said with a sigh, "It's nothing, it's just some emotion, until this moment, I don't know if I exist." ”
As he spoke, a little fire suddenly appeared in Shen Gongbao's hand, it turned out that Shen Gongbao cast a spell and directly illuminated the surrounding space, with the surrounding space shining brightly, Zhang Yuan suddenly found that there was still a figure on the edge of this fake mausoleum, seeing this figure, Zhang Yuan was a little surprised, he had been here for a short time before, but he didn't even find that there would be a third person here, who could hide his immortal sense to investigate, Zhang Yuan believed that there would be many people, but those who could escape their emotional perception were probably only two people in this world, One of them is the teacher Hongjun who has already cultivated to the situationless realm, and the other is Luo Yu, who is also a teacher and a friend, and the emotions in the heaven and earth, because this place belongs to the underground, so Zhang Yuan had used emotional perception to perceive the surroundings when he first appeared here, at that time, Zhang Yuan's perception, this place was just himself and Shen Gongbao, Zhang Yuan didn't expect Luo Yu to be here at all.
"What do you mean by that?" asked Zhang Yuan.
"Uncle Shi, because of your words in the underworld, Yingzheng's fate has been changed, so if I have any memories of you, I'm afraid that if you go back in the future, I'm afraid you will encounter other unknown changes, so I'm afraid your life will also be turned upside down, so I decided that these memories of you, I won't have any circulation to the outside world, and I do this completely for you!" Shen Gongbao said with some emotion.
For Shen Gongbao's words, Zhang Yuan still understands, maybe it is really as Shen Gongbao said, if there is really a record about himself in history, it is very likely to have a great change in his real life, if things develop in a good direction, then there is nothing to be afraid of, but in case things develop in a bad direction, he will regret it, so for his own safety, Zhang Yuan has agreed with Shen Gongbao's statement at this moment, that is, things about themselves will stop at Shen Gongbao's memory, after all, although there are many stories between the future self and Yingzheng, but the final direction is still more acceptable to Zhang Yuan, so at this moment, if Shen Gongbao does not say anything about his existence, Zhang Yuan will not have any opinions.
Of course, he no longer has the idea of pursuing this matter, but Zhang Yuan still doesn't understand why Luo Yu is obviously here, but why he didn't greet him when he appeared, and he also had a game of hide and seek with himself, Zhang Yuan asked Luo Yu about his doubts.
"It's just that there has been a breakthrough in cultivation recently, so I want to experiment with you, I don't know if there is anything you don't understand about things on the Flood Desolate Continent for such a long time?"
Luo Yu's answer made Zhang Yuan even more confused, first of all, Luo Yu's strength chased after his father Pangu, even if his strength did not break through again, it must be a very easy thing to hide from himself, but why would he experiment on himself, Zhang Yuan didn't understand very much, in addition, Luo Yu's last sentence made Zhang Yuan even more confused, what is he who can't figure out what is going on on the Flood Continent, although he occasionally came to the Flood Continent before, but his main focus is still on his own real world, so for the things on the Flood Continent, he didn't think too much about it, and what could he not understand。
"Brother Luo Yu, what do you want to say? I don't really understand what you said!" Zhang Yuan said.
"Let me tell you this, I was in the darkness just now, did I exist? Don't you think that I appeared here at the moment when Shen Gongbao lit up the entire space?"
Luo Yu's words made Zhang Yuan feel more and more confused, Zhang Yuan felt that Luo Yu was a little strange at this moment, from the time he started to speak, he always said something inexplicable, so Zhang Yuan did not pick up, but waited for Luo Yu to continue.
"Zhang Yuan, Hongjun has already told me about the secret conversation between you and Hongjun at the beginning, so hard that you haven't thought about why? Recently, I suddenly have a feeling, a feeling that I am about to break through the current realm, I have not experienced such a feeling for a long time, but this time, I feel particularly illusory, the lower the fit between Hongjun and the Heavenly Dao, the more obvious my feeling is, perhaps, only you are there, it is real, when you look at me, I exist, of course, this existence may be a living existence, or a kind of dead existence, however, when you no longer look at me, it seems that I no longer exist, just like me in the darkness just now, when everything is in the dark, I may or may not existHowever, when Shen Gongbao used a spell to illuminate the surrounding space, I appeared here. ”
After a pause, Luo Yu said with emotion again: " I once asked Hongjun if he would have the same thoughts, but Hongjun's answer disappointed me a little, he didn't have such thoughts, so at this moment, I don't know if I feel too many emotions, so I have some unreal thoughts, or is this world inherently like this, when a cultivator's strength is about to break through the limits of this world, such thoughts will arise, but Hongjun has become an accident again, because his strength is not lower than mine, but why doesn't he have such thoughts, why is all this?”
As he spoke, Luo Yu actually began to talk to himself, which made Zhang Yuan and Shen Gongbao look at each other.
"Uncle Shi, you see, after staying with Luo Zhi's predecessors for a while, I found that my own thinking has also changed a little, but if you follow what Luo Zhi's predecessors said, in fact, in your original history, many things are not what they are now, but because of your participation and discovery, the existence of history has changed, and it has become what you see now, although I don't understand the Tao of Luo Zhi's predecessors very well, but I think what Luo Zhi's predecessors said is not impossible. Shen Gongbao said.
At this moment, Zhang Yuan finally understood that what Luo Yu is talking about now is a very famous theory in his own world, Schrödinger's cat, when you don't check the cat in the box, it may be alive, and it may also be dead, but the moment you open the lid of the box, all the previous possibilities have become unique, and at this moment, Zhang Yuan also knows the meaning of what Luo Yu asked him before, just like the incident of Ying Zheng, if he did not enter Ying Zheng's mausoleum, although Ying Zheng has the possibility of being alive, but according to the history books, Ying Zheng is dead, so there is a greater possibility of death, but his own words in the flood famine made all the possibilities in the box unique, just as there are many, many parallel worlds, because of his own words, the only parallel world for the existence of Yingzheng was determined.
Of course, Zhang Yuan's realm at this moment is still very low, so he doesn't have much deep understanding of this kind of understanding, but the appearance of Luo Yu at this moment makes Zhang Yuan begin to doubt whether his sentient way is correct, is it really only Hongjun's ruthless way is correct, with doubts all over his body, Zhang Yuan said goodbye to the two of them, and his consciousness returned to his body.
