On 10 May, Liuyang City was hit by a violent earthquake that was rare in a century, and the entire territory of Hexi and Daonan provinces suffered a heavy rain and snow that were rare in a thousand years.

Fortunately, the relevant departments were well prepared and responded in a timely manner, and did not cause much loss of life.

It's just that some people with ulterior motives began to spread rumors through various channels, but fortunately, the public opinion department controlled it in a timely manner and did not cause turmoil.

After thousands of sentient beings woke up from a dream, only a few strange words circulated in the streets.

Some people say that in that blizzard, they saw three awe-inspiring gods, and the earth cracked in a snap of a finger.

Some people say that above the clouds in the high sky, there is clearly a strange beast standing on the top of the sky and the earth, and it swallows the sun and the moon with one mouth.

There are also people who have malicious intentions, saying that in fact, this natural disaster is actually a test of the government's new weapons, and they have typed out a deafening "fixed question" with a keyboard.

However, the clouds and rain stopped, and there was no trace of everything, only a gray figure, fluttering from the high sky to the east.

Hedong Province, on the top of Dongyue Mountain, on the Fengzen platform, a man with earlobes to his shoulders that only appeared in the portrait quietly looked at the high sky, hunting in the mountain wind, he was wearing a white wide robe and remained silent, completely separated from the surrounding scenery.

A moment later, a gray-clothed Taoist with a solemn expression appeared in front of the Fengzen platform, looking at the ruined ruins everywhere, with a vicissitudes of life.

Two thousand years ago, he had seen Wang Mang enshrine Zen here, and he had also witnessed how the line of Lishan that occupied Dongyue died out.

The man in white sighed lightly: "Since the Yongzheng Dynasty of the Qing Dynasty, the spiritual opportunity has declined, and the Fengzen platform of the emperors of the past dynasties has gradually turned from half of the blessed land to a ruin. It can be seen that the vicissitudes of life are the most ruthless, and even those of us who live thousands of years old have to be in awe from the bottom of our hearts. ”

The gray-robed Taoist moved his gaze to the man in white with lops, and sneered: "There are things that are born in nature, speechless and lonely, and can be the master of all things, and do not wither with the four seasons." Tianxing has always been constant, but now it is not easy to change, you are a demon saint, you can't be brave and diligent, how can there be so many useless sighs?"

Hearing this, the man in white with droop ears turned around, lightly dusted off the sleeves of his robe and bowed to the gray-robed Taoist: "Congratulations to the seniors for getting out of trouble." ”

The gray-robed Taoist looked coldly: "What is the joy of getting out of the cage and being subject to you?"

The lop-eared man didn't care, just smiled in response.

The eyes of the two sides touched, and somewhere there was no inexplicable void between heaven and earth, the two people's grand divine intentions had already clashed back and forth several times.

Twelve moments later, the two were deadlocked.

The gray-robed Daoist's eyes changed slightly: "Among the demon clan, there is a junior like you, what is your name?"

"I was born without a name and no surname, and later my master gave me the surname Pangu, so my predecessors can call me Pangu without a name. The lop-eared man calmly reported his fame, and there was a sudden thunderclap when he cleared the air.

"The beginning of the nameless heaven and earth, the mother of all things, and the name of domineering. The gray-robed Taoist chuckled, and took the initiative to bow his hand to this junior whose name was extremely big, "Even if you are a fellow Daoist, you don't need to be so polite, this seat is called Shanhai." ”

"In this way, the predecessors of the mountains and seas are polite. The man in white dusted off his clothes again and bowed.

The first bow is to congratulate, and this worship is to see the ceremony.

"Friends are polite. "The people of Shanhaidao have a wide-sleeved robe, and they carry out the ancient rites of the Qin Dynasty, and they also worship.

On this day, Dongyue Mountain, where the spiritual veins have not yet recovered, sank seven inches with the worship of the two.

————

Qizhou City, the capital of Hedong, is the center of the busy city.

From day to evening, the People's Park is full of old people with leisurely hair, they are in groups of three or five, or playing chess or teasing birds or playing cards, and occasionally old friends joke, it is a burst of vicissitudes of laughter.

In front of a stone pier engraved with the Han boundary of the Chu River, a bald and fat old man wearing only a sweatshirt and shorts was concentrating on a mess.

"Old man Zhu, don't mess with your two broken chess games! Grandma Li and the others have started dancing over there, do you want to take a look?"

Old man Zhu waved his hand impatiently, raised his head and looked at the old man who took the lead with disdain: "Lao Wang, if you want to go to see Aunt Sun, you can go, what's the matter, you have to pull a few of our brothers to be brave? You have been a single man for more than ten years, Lao Zhang, they all have wives, so you are not afraid that you will not be able to go home even if you are a few brothers?"

was ridiculed, the old king was not angry, haha smiled and said to the old friend next to him: "You don't know, yesterday when Xiaoxia was playing cards, I won a few hundred of him as a staff officer, you see how stingy he is." I'll tell you secretly, Xiaoxia said last time, people don't like bald people without hair, look at it, this old Zhu hasn't eased up yet!"

"You old bachelor, your skin is itchy, aren't you!" As soon as Old Man Zhu heard that the old man was talking about his hair, he immediately exploded, and when he got up, he looked for his crutches everywhere to beat people.

"Hey, I'm angry, I'm angry......"

Everyone knows that these old men have been fighting for more than ten years, but they are actually kissing in their hearts, so in a dialect with no distinction, a few old people who want to watch the old lady dance are gone.

"Ahh

With a long sigh, the bald old man walked back to the chess board and sat down, re-examining the endgame.

He swept his small eyes and immediately rolled his eyes.

So a ban that isolated the surrounding heaven and earth was silently opened.

"You lack virtue or not, why do you steal my chess pieces when you see that I am about to win?

With the bald old man's complaints, a middle-aged man with a goatee in a blue cloth coat appeared opposite him, holding the chess piece in his hand.

"Brother Zhu, Brother Zhu, I really admire your self-cultivation, at this time, you can still have such a good time with children. ”

The middle-aged man with a goatee is the head of the contemporary Qian family in Hedong, one of those people on the highest mountain in Hedong Province.

And this bald and fat old man who bragged and farted with the old men in the park was his cousin, who was fifty years younger, and the real person in charge of the Zhu family.

Those old men who looked more than ten years older than Old Man Zhu were innocent children in the eyes of these two ancestors.

"Isn't there just a Yuanyuan and an additional demon saint, what's the fuss?" After the old man Zhu dug his nose without any image, he flicked his fingers, "I saw Pangu coming to Hedong without a name, so I guessed that they were going to make a big deal, and now Yuanyuan is our ally, and the stronger they are, the better it will be for us...... Hey, put that cannon down for me, too! Why do you still use occult tricks when you play chess?"

The head of the Qian family was seen through the small movements, and without embarrassment, he put the two chess pieces hidden in his sleeves back on the stone pier: "Pangu Nameless cast a spell on the Dongyue Feng Zen Platform to disrupt the heavenly cause and effect, so the three sects under the Dao and we were all concealed this time, and we only had time to react when we knew that the demon saint was born." Now in the eyes of these three sects, the two of us can be regarded as Yuanyuan's hardcore conspiracy. ”

"Since we have openly supported Yuanyuan in the co-governance of yin and yang, it will be a matter of time before we confront the three sects. Old man Zhu said slowly, "Zheng Wangzhen has been flying for more than 20 years, Kunlun's family is not known to the world, and the Wuxizi of the Lingguan Sect has been sitting for more than ten years, I heard that Luofu's two free sword immortals are also about to reach their lifespan, and everyone has endured the three sects for a day or two, Yuanyuan is just an opportunity...... Oh, I'll go, can you have a face? When did you put it up? You thief told you to put it back, and you took two more steps yourself? What about your free kick?"

The head of the Qian family pretended not to see Old Man Zhu's angry appearance, and stroked his goatee: "What Daoyou said is very true, although the three sects are strong, but in the foreseeable more than ten years, there will be a withering of talents, and there are many people competing for the top in the world. Yuan Yuan's origin is mysterious and he is familiar with some of the exercises of the three sects, and now that he has taken the lead, he will definitely usher in the real countermeasures of the three sects. ”

"So...... This game has just begun, and we are watching. ”

"Having said that, the first step of the three sects is to make a fuss at the Qingsheng Dharma Conference hosted by you and me in the next year, this is obviously a warning to our two families, what should we do?"

"Let Yuanyuan release those junior disciples who were captured by that demon, and we will participate normally. We have attracted the attention of the three sects for their layout, and they always have to give us a ...... for this face."

In the middle of his words, Old Man Zhu looked at the chessboard blankly, and finally couldn't bear it anymore, and overturned the chess pier: "You play your sister's chess! You stole all the handsomeness of Lao Tzu for Lao Tzu, right?

——It is said that it is the cave of the ancient qi practitioners in the pre-Qin period, there is a huge cave in it, which is full of all kinds of dangerous prohibitions, and the innermost layer is said to be even the real person who is at ease and does not dare to set foot easily, Zheng Wangzhen had watched at the entrance of this cave for a long time before he ascended, and finally only said that the time had not come, and then he left.

There are also countless treasures of heaven and earth, since the appearance of the world a hundred years ago, it has attracted countless monks to explore the secret to seek opportunities, but there are more and less, and most people's magic weapons have also become the opportunities of later generations. ——

The so-called process of cultivation is nothing more than seeing oneself, seeing heaven and earth, and seeing sentient beings.

And a person with extraordinary talent like Lin Guanfu, in order not to waste his qualifications, must be diligent and pendetic since childhood, and ask less about the world. And once people put too much effort into themselves, they will inevitably only know that they have oneself and do not know others, and they will not be able to see all beings in heaven and earth, which is the obstacle that practitioners will encounter, and it is also the reason why monks "go down the mountain to practice".

If you can't pass this level, no matter how peerless a genius is, you can only stop, or even fall into the devil's path, so the monk descending the mountain is often called a tribulation.

It's just that the power of the people who have gone through the tribulation is too strong for the mortal world, and they pride themselves on the right path and have no scruples in acting, so they actually unconsciously become potential calamities for the common people in the world.

Heaven and man operate, and calamities rise and fall, this is the way of heaven.

Xiao Qingshui's eyes drooped, and he naturally remembered these truths that he had known since he was a child.

But I have known since I was a child that it does not mean that this hurdle can be avoided. Don't look at Li Er rolling in the red dust since he was a child, he can see it very clearly, but who knows, at this moment, aren't the two of them already in a catastrophe without knowing it?

Just go with your heart, but you can make yourself more comfortable.
