15. The origin of the One
"Do you know what my sister thinks of the Void Universe?" Xuan Ming coiled up his snake tail and floated in the air, his eyes blurred into his memory. In her eyes, absolute order is everything, and nothing else matters. ”
Absolute order? Shi Yuanji had never heard of this statement, and couldn't help but listen quietly.
Seeing Shi Yuanji being led by his nose, the corners of Xuan Ming's mouth flashed with a flattering smile: "Have you ever heard of Taisu? That was something that only existed when Taixu was just born." At the beginning of chaos, the void is just a small point, all things are mixed into one, and the form of matter is only one kind of primitive, which I call Taiyi. ”
"My sister is very fond of this kind of thing, she thinks that only by maintaining the state of too oneness is beautiful, that is, the absolute order she wants. ”
"I'm not, for me, the process of everything from birth to development to death is simply beautiful, and this is what I want to be in an ideal state. ”
"Life and death, extinction and prosperity, growth or humbleness, joy or sorrow, the momentum of the dragon soaring nine heavens is like a rainbow or falling into the nine places is like a bad breath, all are good scenery for me. ”
Shi Yuanji didn't dare to breathe, and the Xuan Ming in front of him suddenly became unfathomable. Ten years ago, Xuan Ming's intimidation of him came from her great strength, but now it comes from her different thoughts.
"It's a pity that those gods don't see it that way, they want to be immortal, they want to rule over all things forever. They were afraid of death, so they locked me up. Ungrateful things, these gods I created!"
"But is it useful? Even if I have been imprisoned here for billions of years, the Void is still gradually going to be destroyed, and they idiots can't do anything but watch helplessly. ”
A complicated expression appeared on Xuan Ming's charming face, which was as white as jade, a mixture of arrogance, anger, and contempt. Even through the seal, Shi Yuanji could still feel it clearly. For a while, he was in a cold sweat, his body trembled unconsciously, and he no longer dared to look at her.
"Are you scared?" Xuan Ming looked at him with pity. "I don't blame you, you're a mere mortal. Tell me, don't you think those gods locked me up?"
Shi Yuanji had long been shocked by Xuan Ming, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.
"Well, I shouldn't have asked that. Xuan Ming once again returned to his previous charming and enchanting temperament, and said softly. "You don't need to think about it. For you, how to survive is the first place, and there are three ways to survive in front of you. ”
"The first one, like your master, is still doing useless work until death, exhausting his hard work but helpless, just to seek peace of mind. ”
"The second is to be an ordinary mortal, to do nothing all his life, although mediocre, but also fulfilling. ”
"Third. Speaking of this, Xuan Ming paused slightly and said with deep meaning. "Fusang has taught you a lot of skills, you can rely on these skills to take and seize the official in Pangu Tianyu. ”
"In fact, with your current ability, you can live a life of fine clothes and food. Good food, good wine, beautiful women, you can get it if you want, right?"
Shi Yuanji remembered the scene when he showed his might in front of Gui Kun and Hu Xueling just now, and he couldn't help but feel his heart swaying. Yes, as long as he wants, what kind of enjoyment he can't get?
Gui Kun can decide the life and death of others by relying on the power of his father; Ding Yun's family has a lot of money, so he annexes land and kills people; and Hu Xueling relies on the majesty of the prime minister of the dynasty to indiscriminately sword him.
With his ability, such a life can be easily obtained, so why not pursue it?
Xuan Ming saw that he was thinking about it, and continued to guide him: "It seems that you have figured it out. This is the third way, there is wine today and drunk today, tomorrow is sorrowful, tomorrow is sorrowful, wanton lawlessness, and it is extremely happy. ”
"Of course, in the process, there will certainly be some price: misunderstanding, jealousy and rebellion of the world. None of that matters, though, those mortals are just ants in front of you, so why should you care what they think?"
Xuan Ming's eyes were misty, his demeanor was lazy, and he said gently: "Go for it, that's what you should be." ”
Hearing this, Shi Yuanji suddenly woke up from his fantasy, he stood up and asked suspiciously, "Xuan Ming God, are you diverting the topic, why are you using these words to guide my thoughts?"
"It's nothing, I just think it's fun to tease you. Xuan Ming looked him up and down and smiled.
"I ask you at the end if you would like to resurrect my master. As long as you agree to this request, I can bear any price. ”
Xuan Ming's smiling face gradually disappeared, an incomparable majesty spread, and the sunlight in the seal gradually disappeared, as dim and terrifying as ten years ago.
"Mortal, are you threatening me?" Xuan Ming let out an angry scream, even through the seal, still holding Shi Yuanji in place. Wherever the screams passed, sand flew away, trees snapped, and sparrows turned into blood mist.
Shi Yuanji was suppressed by Xuan Ming's coercion, and after a while, his seven orifices were bleeding, and his head was dizzy and unsteady on his feet. But he still struggled to support: "It is Master's last order to release you, no matter what, I will complete it." I'm just making one last attempt and doing what I want. ”
"Okay, don't you say that you can bear the price, be my slave, serve me well, maybe as soon as I am happy, I will resurrect Fusang!"
"Xuanming God, please don't make such jokes! I sincerely ask you, you can take my life even if you take it!" Shi Yuanji said sincerely.
"Hmph, the pathetic self-esteem of mortals. If you don't want to be my slave, forget it, there's no point in killing you!" Xuan Ming snorted coldly, dispersed the coercion, returned to the center of the seal, closed his eyes and meditated and practiced.
Shi Yuanji wiped the blood from his face, and Xuan Ming's firm refusal calmed him down. Holding his injured body, he began to lift the eight black stones around the seal.
In the vast pine ridge, Gui Kun was already under a towering pine tree, regretful.
He actually knows that his brain often makes mistakes, but in front of beauty, he still can't control it.
He pushed Guiyun Guihui away and let them join the young man. killed Wang Qi and robbed Hu Xueling by himself, thinking of enjoying the beauty. But who would have thought that the man would stand in front of him unharmed, and scare him away with one move.
Now he is cold and hungry, and in this barren mountain range, he can't even find his way back. Wild beasts roared in the distance, and tall pine trees obscured the daylight, making it impossible to tell whether it was noon or evening.
Gui Kun carried the knife in a panic, ran around like a fly without a head, his luxurious clothes were torn out by the branches, his hair was scattered, and he fantasized that he could see an acquaintance who could take him out of the mountain.
Suddenly, a woman's scream came from a distance, setting off gusts of mountain wind. Although it was very unclear to hear, it still shocked Gui Kun.
Now Gui Kun desperately wants to see a living person. In his cognition, as the son of the imperial history of the dynasty, as long as he shows his identity, he will respond to his needs. As long as someone sees him, won't he be able to leave the mountain?
"What the hell is a woman?" Gui Kun didn't think about it, and hurriedly ran in the direction of the scream.
Exhausted to the mountain, Shi Yuanji supported the pain to crack the large array, and in the entire cave, only the dragon pattern of the magic circle flashed with the light of mana.
"Are you okay?" Xuan Ming squinted his eyes and glanced at Shi Yuanji, who was seriously injured by himself.
"It's okay. Shi Yuanji was concentrating on breaking the seal, not caring about his injuries at all.
In the awkward silence of the cave again, Xuan Ming meditated in the center of the seal, and Shi Yuanji only had the sound of Shi Yuanji casting a spell to lift the seal.
Xuan Ming finally couldn't bear it anymore and asked out loud, "Angry?"
"Not really. The mana used to break the seal was still too much for Shi Yuanji, so he stopped to wipe his sweat and sat down by the black stone to rest.
Xuan Ming put down the shelf and swung the snake's tail to the edge of the seal: "The mana is exhausted, why don't you use the Mixed Yuan Tiansheng Recipe I taught you?"
"Do you mean the spell you cast just now? I see, the principle of the Mixed Yuan Tiansheng Technique is to turn all matter into mana, and even the sunlight can't escape. ”
Shi Yuanji suddenly realized, and said dejectedly: "It turns out that you destroyed this universe like this, no wonder you taught me this spell without payment." ”
He smiled bitterly: "Turn the entire Tai Void into mana, and the Tai Void will no longer exist." This process is of course beautiful to you, but the result is destruction for us mortal beings. ”
"Chaos wants to restore the void to the oneness, and for us creatures who are void, it is the god of destruction. But then again, you are also a god of destruction, what is the name of your way of destroying the void?"
Shi Yuanji stopped smiling bitterly and asked seriously, "Tell me!"
