Chapter 40, Yu Ji's mindset

Yu Ji stumbled upon the "Heavenly Abyss" overseas, and he climbed down the vertical hole in the shape of an inverted funnel, about a thousand zhang later, that is, about a kilometer below the sea level, and vaguely seemed to be able to see that beyond the exit in the depths, it was not only the blue sky, but also in the mist, revealing the outline of the purple gate of the fairy court. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info This made him feel a surprise in his heart, and he accelerated the climb.

Zhang Lu asked Yu Ji to carefully recall what he saw at the time, and according to visual inspection, he climbed about a third of the distance, that is, the entire hole may have been about three kilometers underground. Zhang Lu didn't remember what the diameter of the earth was, but he remembered that Mount Everest was more than 8,000 meters above sea level, and if the Himalayas were uprooted and filled in the Mariana Trench, Mount Everest would still sink below sea level - that is, the Mariana alone was more than three kilometers, and Yu Ji could not penetrate the mantle at all, let alone the entire earth.

It is certainly not the other side of the Earth, but a so-called "space-time channel" that is difficult to explain on a physical level.

Looking at the other end of the hole from Yu Ji's location, it really looks like a well frog looking up at the wellhead, but the actual size of the wellhead is estimated to be no less than hundreds of zhang in diameter. However, suddenly, a face appeared, almost filling two-thirds of the **** - for such a huge head, Yu Ji's first reaction in his heart was: "Is it Pangu Immortal?"

In fact, the earliest written record of Pangu comes from Xu Quan's "Three Five Calendars" in the Three Kingdoms era, which reads: "When there was no heaven and earth, chaos was like a chicken, Pangu was born in it, 18,000 years old, heaven and earth were opened, Qingyang was the sky, turbidity yin was the earth, and Pangu was in it." One said: God is in the sky, holy in the earth, the sky is one zhang high, the earth is one zhang thick, Pangu is one zhang long, so 18,000 years old, the number of days is extremely high, the number of the earth is extremely deep, Pangu is extremely long, and there are three emperors after it. The number starts at one, stands at five, is more than seven, is at nine, so the heavens go to the earth ninety thousand miles......"

Of course, Xu Cheng is not a mythical story made up in his brain, the legend of Pangu has been circulated among the people for a long time, and he has long been listed as the first generation of Gu Immortals along with Fuxi and Nuwa in the cultivation path. It is said that this world was created by Pangu, and then Nuwa created people, and Fuxi created gossip, leaving a legacy of cultivating immortals. As for whether these three Gu Immortals were naturally conceived by their own universe or came from outside the sky, even the current immortals are inexplicable.

But since he was able to open up the world, Pangu should be a giant...... Giant Immortal, even if he is not 18,000 feet tall like folklore, he should not be small. There are all kinds of legends of giants in ancient China, but at most they are only tens or even hundreds of feet tall, and it is impossible to have a big head that is almost full of hundreds of zhang in diameter - unless the giant has no body, only one head...... That's why when Yu Ji saw the big head, he would react first: "Is it Pangu Immortal?"

Then he saw the giant open his mouth and say a word.

The air flow that erupted from the giant mouth set off a terrible storm in the hole, and even the earth immortal Yu Ji couldn't resist it at all, and was directly blown away...... Yu Ji flew out of the hole all the way, and was even swept up dozens of feet high by the air current, and then rolled and fell, smashing hard near the entrance of the hole. If he is a mortal, not to mention being smashed into a pulp, he will probably be torn apart and even turned into powder when he is still in the air, but Yu Ji is an earth immortal after all, and he is only one step away from the heavenly immortals, although he cannot fly, he can follow the air flow and tumble up and down - that is the technique of "Liezi walking against the wind" once mentioned in the "Zhuangzi" - and his body is also strong and tenacious to the point that mortals can't even imagine......

Even so, Yu Lao Xian'er still fell and almost couldn't get up. After the horror, Yu Ji began to think about what the giant had said, and had he said it to himself?

Yu Ji thought that the giant must be a celestial immortal even if he was not Pangu, and the immortal swept himself out of the crypt with one breath, perhaps as a kind of warning, warning mortal ants not to easily set foot in the sky, so as not to defile the immortal realm—think about it?

But at the same time, he firmly remembered what the immortal said. The immortal had apparently shouted out the phrase—a soft voice that could be distinguished from the shape of his mouth—and it didn't seem to have reached Yuji's ear canal through sound waves, but had been carved into his mind by a whirlwind.

The sentence rhymes, and it seems to be a proverb: "The elder holds the bow, shoots the golden sword, and kills the Taiyao." ”

Yu Ji has been in the mortal world for nearly a thousand years, and has seen the decline of Zhou, the annexation of princes, the rise and fall of Qin, the **** of Han, and the usurpation of Wang Mang and the rise of Guangwu. Therefore, the Eastern Han Dynasty is about to come to its end, the world is bound to be in chaos, and a new dynasty will take its place, and I have long been psychologically prepared.

So when he studied that proverb, he immediately thought of it: This is the meaning that the surname Zhang will replace the surname Liu, right? Yu Ji thinks that it is not meaningless for the immortals to shout this sentence to him, perhaps they want to spread the proverb to the mortal world through their own mouths, and then accelerate the process of social evolution. He quickly made a lesson, and the results were unclear, but it was clear that spreading the prophecy was not a bad thing for him to be damned.

After returning to the Central Plains, Yu Ji searched everywhere for people who might answer the message, and finally he found Zhang Jiao. After a period of observation and analysis, he thought that Zhang Jiao had more than fifty percent of the possibility of responding to this message, so he added part of the content of rebellion to the "Taiping Qing Lingshu" he had written in the past and taught it to Zhang Jiao.

In fact, the original of "Taiping Qing Lingshu" had already been born, and Yu Ji had passed it on to his disciple, Gong Chong, the evil man of Lang, but who would have thought that Gong Chong's cultivation could not be lawful, and he could not make a breakthrough for a long time. However, Gong Chong did not dare to reveal the information about his master Yu Ji, and only said that it was his master "Ganji" (who went to a hook) to obtain the divine book on the water of Quyang Spring.

Emperor Shun of Han rewarded Gong Chong, but he didn't take this book too seriously, and just hid it in the inner treasury. Later, some chapters of this book were circulated outside, which was obtained by Zhang Ling, a Fengren, and passed on to his son Zhang Heng, and Zhang Heng passed on his son Zhang Lu, and thus gave birth to a vein of five buckets of rice.

Therefore, Taiping Dao and Wudou Midao were originally from the same source, but the content of the Taiping Qing Lingshu obtained by the two is different. Wudou Midao is the method of heavy service ghosts (in fact, it is an illusion that Yu Ji is good at), while Taiping Dao is more inclined to group hypnosis (in fact, it is still an illusion) and social reform.

According to Yu Ji, about that rumor, he only mentioned it to two people, one is Zhang Jiao, who is strong in his anti-Han and Han heart, and the other is his friend Zhang Jujun. As for the prophecy that is now widely spread, many demons surnamed Zhang have a heart for prophecy, which is not his original intention - it is estimated that Zhang Jiao told his brothers Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang, and then spread it from the two mouths.

After listening to Yu Ji's narration, Zhang Lu couldn't help scratching his chin and was silent for a long time. Yu Ji smiled and said to him: "I will tell you today, and I have nothing to hide." However, this is the will of the immortals, and it is twists and turns, and I am afraid that it is beyond your and I can speculate. It has been more than ten years since he received the prophecy, and he has been trying to find out the context and explore the true meaning of the immortals, but he has never been able to make too many breakthroughs. Thinking about it, except for the fact that the immortals predicted the death of the surname Liu and the prosperity of the Zhang family, and wanted to spread the prophecy through his oral transmission, so as to speed up this process, it is unlikely that there would be other intentions.

Zhang Lu nodded slightly, in fact, he smiled secretly in his heart: If you don't understand, maybe I can't understand it, old man! Your train of thought has become a stereotype, and the first reaction when you heard the proverb was "The immortals want to use my mouth to spread the word to the mortal world", so how could you think of other possibilities?

But he is different from Yu Ji, first, he has already obtained some clues from the immortals in advance, second, the soul from two thousand years later, the brain hole can be opened very large, and it is completely unrestricted by the limitations of the times, and the third is that he does not have the slightest sense of awe for authority, even if it is an immortal.

Yu Ji has practiced for thousands of years and is proud of the world, but he is still an ancient man from the root, and there is an innate awe of authority - he is not in awe of mortal emperors and generals, but he is absolutely in awe of immortals, and this problem can only be gradually changed when he also becomes an immortal. Therefore, when a giant appears, he thinks that it must be an immortal; when a giant speaks, he thinks that it is an immortal who looks down on him and gives him a task; as soon as he gets a prophecy, he believes that what the immortal says must be correct—at most, my interpretation and understanding are wrong.

Zhang Lu, a young man from the 21st century, has long broken the traditional fear of authority, and in a sense, anti-authority thinking has been more deeply rooted. If immortals only exist in Master Pei Xuanren's description, he may still feel unpredictable about the ethereal immortals who are high in the sky, and only unpredictable things and people can make people's hearts fearful. For example, the common people must be more afraid of the emperor than the officials, and the low-level officials are more afraid of the emperor than the high-ranking officials, in addition to the interest factor, it is also because the high-ranking officials have seen the emperor, know that the emperor is also a human being, and they also have to eat and drink, and they also have joys, sorrows, and sorrows.

Especially Zhang Lu has even seen Tiangong, it is just a broken settlement that failed to raise dragons a thousand years ago and fled into the wilderness, even if he is enlightened and ascends to the sky as an immortal, he may not be naturally taller than himself. He can't even see through my identity as a traverser! And according to Zhang Jian, I also have the potential to become an immortal.

So Zhang Lu instinctively felt that there was something wrong with Yu Ji's guess......

First of all, is the giant he saw really an immortal? According to Zhang Jian, if he hadn't told Zhang Lu the whole truth, he hadn't deliberately lied or distorted the facts, then the heavens would not have known the source of this rumor. And even if some immortals calculated that the surname Zhang was Liu, with their kind of manipulation, they basically ignored and were not interested in the affairs of the world, how could they deliberately spread the rumors through Yu Ji's mouth?

Through many conversations with Zhang Jian, in fact, deep down, Zhang Lu looked down on the immortals - especially those he hadn't seen yet.

Zhang Jian got the Tao late, maybe he still has a little attachment to the mortal world, but looking at Liu Gen's attitude, he clearly only cares about the heavenly world. Other immortals, especially the first Queen Mother of the West and the Prince of the East, not to mention it.

In fact, the fundamental desires of human beings are still inseparable from animal nature, and they are just two things: survival and reproduction, and there is nothing else. The immortals don't seem to have come out of this trap, they have to live with heaven and earth, there is no threat of birth, old age, sickness and death, there is no shackles of seven emotions and six desires, and there is no need to reproduce (at most, it is expected that the immortal law can be inherited), that is basically mixed in the heavenly realm, and there is no enterprising heart. Where did the Gu Immortals go? Is there a higher realm above the Heavenly Realm? It's not that they don't care, but they have a long lifespan and a lot of time to squander, so they don't seem to have put much effort into it.

In Zhang Lu's mind, people still know about archaeology and study who the ancestors are, and you immortals are not as good as mortals. The Eastern Princes and the Western Queen Mother have been immortals for more than 10,000 years, and they still haven't studied the Gu Immortals, and where the heavens are even higher. Even the inheritance of the immortal law is to do whatever you want—with your skills, even if you can't let everyone in the mortal world have immortal cultivation, just open a cram school, choose one out of ten thousand, and now there are tens of millions of immortals in the sky, right? Are you still afraid that some evil law threatens the Fa-rectification, and the inheritance is getting thinner and thinner?

If it weren't for the intrusion of the heavens, it is estimated that those immortals would all live in their own homes, and they would not have interacted with each other in old age, and there would be no heavenly society at all, let alone electing a heavenly lord to take charge.

Therefore, the immortals spread rumors to Yu Ji, how to listen to this matter and how unreliable.

Besides, this rumor spreads, it is obviously chaotic, not peaceful, and it is just Yu Ji's wishful thinking to say that it can speed up the process of changing the dynasty - does the immortal care whether the mortal world changes the dynasty or not, delays or accelerates the process, and has a dime to do with them?

That giant is probably not an immortal, but a "demon" in troubled times. Of course, this is the setting of general immortal cultivation novels, and as far as Zhang Lu currently knows, it doesn't seem to be applicable to this world of immortal cultivation, because the immortals don't know that there is such an opposing force. If the immortals can really completely control this world, and then have a certain influence on other worlds, at least they have some understanding, maybe Zhang Lu would not dare to make this kind of assumption - the immortals said no, that is, no. But with the kind of manipulation of their own immortals, it is not surprising that they can't see the hostile elements who sharpen their knives at all.

For example, the immortals don't understand where they come from, what kind of existence they belong to, and whether they consciously or unconsciously invade and destroy their own world.

So, could the giants be the culmination, or at least have something to do with it? This possibility is not very large, but it cannot be completely denied. Although according to Zhang Lu's recent judgment, Zhen has no intelligence, and it is very likely that he also lacks subjective consciousness, and it may be a natural disaster, so he will not come to the troubled world with proverbs, but he can be attached to the human body, and he does not know that he will not be attached to the body of any other creature? Even if it is attached to a certain immortal, it is difficult to say that there is more, but the possibility of one percent still exists.

When Zhang Lu went down the mountain for the first time, he learned about "Tianyuan" from Zhang Mink's mouth, and went back to report to Pei Xuanren, and Pei Xuanren asked him to ask Zhang Jujun again. It was obvious that the immortals did not know that such a space-time passage existed, otherwise Pei Xuanren would not have been able to tell Zhang Jian about it, and Zhang Jian would not have to support him in sending himself down the mountain many times - the two brothers were very friendly, as if they were wearing the same pair of pants.

Based on the above judgments, the immortals don't know the heavenly abyss, they don't know the proverbs, and they are busy dealing with the proverbs, and they are not in the mood or have the time to take care of the things in the mortal world-Zhang Jian went down to the earth to select the seeds of cultivating immortals, and it is also to deal with the proverbs - then the possibility that the giants Yu Ji saw in the heavenly abyss were immortals, and the proverbs he obtained were created by the immortals is very low. Of course, it cannot be ruled out that this is a private move by a certain immortal to hide from his peers, if this is really the case, then the sinister intentions of this immortal are worth thinking about repeatedly......

Seeing that Zhang Lu was still meditating, Yu Ji couldn't help but smile faintly: "I can lead Qing to the abyss, Hu Bu visited, with the great cause of Qing's body, or you can know the root cause." What if?"
