Chapter 59: The Mystery of the Three Realms (Part II)

The very existence of the Three Realms is like a huge mystery.

Therefore, for thousands of years, some people have been unremittingly exploring and thinking about the reasons for the emergence of such a strange state in the Three Realms. So hundreds of years ago, a sage named Zhuangzi put forward a conjecture about the origin of the Three Realms, which shocked the people of the entire Three Realms, and for a while, his theory spread throughout the world and became the most recognized mainstream doctrine.

This is the doctrine of the unity of the three lands.

Zhuangzi believes that Qin Chu, Jin Yuan, and Tang Cao were all connected in a circular land from the beginning, and Haixin Lake was a strange sea area surrounded by land.

A thousand years or more ago, due to an unspeakable natural disaster, the entire continent was divided into three parts by the divine power of nature, and Haixin Lake was connected to the vast rivers outside it.

Now the continent is only divided, so the geographical location is still very close, and even the edges of the neighbors are also formed, but it is undeniable that they have been divided, and so far, the strange three realms have been born.

"There is no connected and independent sea area - Haixin Lake. This further reflects its remarks as the source of life. The theory of the unity of the three continents is indeed a very bold and crazy, but logically connected conjecture. Liu Bang continued, "Therefore, for a long time, I have been firmly thinking about the singularity between the three-land theory and the Henggu River. ”

"The theory of the integration of the three lands is indeed the most logical theory, but in essence, it is only the words of one family, the water without a source, the world thousands of years ago, and even the words have not been recorded, how can a little conjecture be able to glimpse the truth?" Zhang Liang lifted the lid of the teapot, sniffed a trace of warm and pleasant tea, and said.

"Yes, this is just Zhuangzi's personal conjecture, and there is not enough theoretical evidence, so there is not much valuable information that can be used for practical thinking - so my exploration for several years has been fruitless." Liu Bang nodded and continued, "But half a year ago, a person's remarks deeply affected me, like an initiation. ”

When he said this, Liu Bang suddenly stopped, staring at Zhang Liang with burning eyes, while Zhang Liang was holding a teapot and slowly pouring tea into the cup, feeling Liu Bang's gaze, he raised his eyes unnaturally.

It wasn't until a cup of tea was full and Zhang Liang hung the teapot in his hand that Liu Bang spoke.

"That person is you, Zhang Liang!"

Hearing this, Zhang Liang's eyes couldn't help but stare, and the look of doubt was incomplete.

"Actually, I have been concerned about your existence before, I know that you are a sage who has been living in seclusion in Fengqi Mountain and concentrating on enlightenment, and your teacher is the immortal saint Jiang Ziya." Liu Bang said in a calm voice, word by word, "I also know that you have been talking about all kinds of absurd prophecies on Fengqi Mountain, and everyone who has heard it ridicules you as a madman, but I believe it, I believe in your prophecy, especially the prophecy you said half a year ago——"

"Non-existent beings live in non-existent situations, the gates of the forbidden realm shake, and the lost kingdom watches."

"The Lost Realm!" Liu Bang stared at Zhang Liang and said excitedly, "Although I can't guess whether the 'kingdom' mentioned here really refers to the kingdom or what it alludes to, 'lost' is very revealing. Because no matter how you think about it, only time is the source of all loss. ”

This prophecy was a great wake-up call for me. With enough time, everything can be lost, and everything can become 'non-existent'. ”

"Non-existent ......" Liu Bang sighed, but his eyes became more and more burning.

"The world we see is far from what the world is! To explore the origin of the Three Realms, the divine power of the ancient rivers, and even the mystery of the Sea of Origins—what we know now is far from enough. ”

But why did the king of Han believe my prophecy? In principle, it is also a source of water without theoretical evidence......" Zhang Liang pressed his eyes, his gaze became extremely deep, he really didn't expect that as a person who had lived in seclusion on the top of the mountain for more than 20 years, he would be noticed by people he had never met, and besides, there were really people who believed in his ridiculous prophecy.

Liu Bang smiled lightly and said, "If I say 'intuition', I'm afraid the ovary won't believe it...... Well, I'll tell you the truth, in fact, what I believe most is not you, but the book in your hand - the ancient book of words and spirits! ”

At the end of his words, Liu Bang's eyes fell on the silent ancient book in Zhang Liang's hand.

"King Han also knows the ancient book of Yanling?" Zhang Liang's eyebrows furrowed slightly, put the cup of tea he had just made in front of Liu Bang, and asked at the same time.

"Of course I know," Liu Bang lowered his head and sniffed the fragrance ......of tea, and said, "That's my family's ancestral book!" ”

Liu Bang's voice was very calm, but Zhang Liang's expression changed when he heard it, and the look of doubt appeared in his eyes.

Liu Bang raised the teacup, took a sip of tea, and then said to Zhang Liang, "Having said that, I don't have to hide anything, Jiang Gong may not have told you that this ancient book of Yanling is not his own collection, but borrowed from my family - borrowed for a hundred years." When he said the last sentence, Liu Bang couldn't help but smile.

Zhang Liang didn't interject, the doubts in his eyes hadn't dissipated, just quietly waiting for Liu Bang's continuation.

"Decades ago, when I was just born, I had a demonic disability, an intellectual disability, in layman's terms, a natural intellectual disability, a fool. And I am the only child in the family, but how can such a mentally handicapped child inherit the virtue of the family and the hope of his parents? Therefore, my parents worked hard for me for three or five years, visiting famous doctors in Qin and Chu, but there was no cure. ”

"Later, the whole family was disappointed, and when they were about to accept me, a disabled offspring, an old man with fairy wind bones appeared, and he said that I was not sick, nor disabled, but was born with a heart that is unique in ten thousand, but unfortunately blocked a trick, in fact, a rare genius in a hundred years has become a retarded. When my parents heard this, they realized that they had met a master, so they begged him to help me. The old man said no problem, he can help me open the seventh orifice, but ......"

Liu Bang paused for a moment and said, "But he wants to ask my family for something—my family's ancestral ancient book of words and spirits for thousands of years!" ”

"The ancient book of Yanling is a thousand-year-old ancestral, and it is expected that it is of great significance to our family, so my parents did not dare to agree easily, but they refused to give up this only way to save me, so they begged the old man bitterly. Later, the old man gave in, he didn't want to take my family's ancient book of words and spirits, only borrowed, how long to borrow? One hundred years! The old man said that he borrowed the ancient book for a hundred years, and he must return it as promised after a hundred years, anyway, this book is only an ancestral collection, and no one can understand the mysterious words and words. Therefore, my parents were eager to save me, so they agreed to the old man......"

"Later, the old man opened my seventh orifice as promised, and after that, it seemed that my spiritual wisdom was really awakened in an instant, and all kinds of talents and potentials were gradually revealed, and my parents saw that I was really recovered, and they were grateful to the old man, so they naturally lent out the ancient book of Yanling as promised—after that, the old man left with the book, and repeatedly promised that his disciples would return the book after a hundred years, and he also left his own name—the name that shocked Qin Chu, and even the entire Three Realms—the immortal saint Jiang Ziya."

Listening to all this about the origin of the ancient book of Yanling, Zhang Liang also looked surprised, and his hand hanging the teapot was a little stiff.

"What happened later is also obvious, as Jiang Gong's only apprentice, he naturally entrusted this ancient book to you, and you really lived up to your teacher's expectations and read this ancient book of words and spirits that no one could understand for thousands of years." Liu Bang looked at Zhang Liang and said.

Zhang Liang was a little dumbfounded, he obviously didn't expect that the Yanling Ancient Book was actually won by Jiang Shang in this way of almost taking advantage of the fire.

Although the ancient book of Yanling was exiled in the world to bury its brilliance, because no one could understand it, after all, it was also a book that had been passed down from people for hundreds of years. Therefore, Zhang Liang felt a little guilty about Liu Bang when he held the ancient book of Yan Ling.

Liu Bang seemed to understand Zhang Liang's expression, and immediately smiled and said: "You don't have to care about it in your heart, although this ancient book of words and spirits is my ancestor, but people who are not called by heaven can't understand it, so it can only be buried in the book, and now this book is in your hands, which is the best arrangement of fate." ”

"But...... Even if I read the prophecy from the ancient book of words and spirits, how could the king of Han believe so much in this ancient book that does not know the author and does not know the intention? Zhang Liang was slightly relieved, and then his eyes flashed, and he asked again.

"This brings ......up the most critical issue," Liu Bang suddenly sighed and said, "Zifang, what I want to talk about next is something that has never been mentioned to anyone, even if Xiang Yu ...... I tell you today because I have to explain something and gain your trust. ”

Zhang Liang nodded slightly, but Liu Bang didn't wait for him to turn around, and said directly.

"Ovary, can you see the special abilities I have? Can you guess how I suddenly appeared in Lingcheng and appeared next to Xiang Yu? ”

Hearing this, Zhang Liang subconsciously paused, and then said tentatively: "In my humble opinion, I can only think of one possibility...... But it's too much of an exaggeration......"

"Space Leap?" Zhang Liang stared into Liu Bang's eyes and tentatively spit out those four words.

Liu Bang also stared at Zhang Liang, and then nodded heavily, "That's right, it's a space leap!" ”

When he heard this affirmative reply, Zhang Liang still gasped unnaturally, the power of space crossing was really too terrifying.

"It should be said that no one would have thought that I had such an ability, or even that there was such a disobedient power in this world—but it did exist, and it existed in me!"

"And the true source of this power is even more unimaginable to anyone, even your teacher Jiang Shang probably didn't expect it, otherwise this spatial power may not be on me today."

"When I was just opened by Jiang Gong, the spirit that had been suppressed for too long was stimulated in an instant, and the whole person's personality also changed greatly, when my parents were grateful to borrow the ancient book of Yanling to Jiang Gong, I was very curious about all this, and secretly opened the ancient book of Yanling in the study - it was this turn that my whole life changed dramatically."

Liu Bang paused with emotion, and then continued, "To this day, I still clearly remember that when I was only five years old, I opened the ninety-seventh page of the ancient book. ”

"But at the moment I opened it, my spiritual sense was involuntarily drawn by those mysterious words, in fact, I couldn't read the words at all, but I just felt that my entire consciousness was attracted and infected by the hidden power of the words, and the invisible light and breath distorted me at that moment, I only felt that everything in front of me was a flower, so I closed my eyes - but the next moment, my person came to the outside of the study!"

"It's only ten steps from the outside of the study to the inside, and if you run faster, it's not a problem to come in an instant—but I, only I know, only I know for sure, at that moment, I have crossed the space!"

"Since then, I have discovered that I have such a mysterious and fascinating terrifying ability - space leaping! And all of this originated from the ancient books of Yanling, so I couldn't help but look through the ancient books again, but found that there was nothing, and I couldn't understand all the mysterious words at all, until the ancient books were borrowed...... Since then, I have continued to discover this mysterious power, and began to pay attention to Jiang Shang's movements, and then to your movements—there are really people in this world who can read the ancient books of words and spirits! ”

Zhang Liang sat quietly, but his expression was a little stagnant, he really couldn't imagine that the spatial power on Liu Bang's body was actually related to the ancient book of words and spirits in his hand!

Liu Bang looked at Zhang Liang's pupils, and his eyes were full of emotion: "So, if you say it from the perspective of fate, the hidden space power in the ancient book of words and spirits has chosen me, and its hidden prophecy truth has chosen you!" ”

Now, you know why I have such a high level of faith in this book...... This ancient book is truly the book of divine calling! After Liu Bang said this, he sighed, and then drank a big sip of tea.

"So......" Zhang Liang asked thoughtfully.

"So you must know that the prophecies hidden in this book that you haven't read yet are likely to involve the overall changes in the entire Three Realms. Especially the mystery of the Three Realms, it will eventually be, and it can only be solved by you! Liu Bang put down the teacup and said solemnly to Zhang Liang at the end, "Only you, only you can solve the mystery of the Three Realms!" ”。

Zhang Liang was a little stunned, but the thoughts in his heart were greatly infected, in fact, there is no need for Liu Bang to say, he himself has long realized that the ancient book of Yanling has a special meaning to this world, but now, Liu Bang's words to avoid everyone talking about it at night have deeply touched him, and from this moment on, Liu Bang has indeed gained his trust from the bottom of his heart, and has also concluded an extraordinary relationship with him.

Zhang Liang just stared at Liu Bang's solemn pupils for the last time, but he didn't say a word, the shock in his heart was actually more than Liu Bang said, he didn't tell Liu Bang, in fact, the ninety-seven pages of Liu Bang's so-called ancient book of words and spirits were not a simple page, or on that page, Zhang Liang read the most shocking prophecy that shocked the world-

"The non-existent lives in the realm of non-existence, the gates of the forbidden realm shake, and the lost kingdom watches over."
