Chapter 7: The Dragon Slayer Team
The man who set the trap to test Wei Wencheng was naturally not Xu Huanpu, but Zhang Lu, and when he heard the Sanwu monk ask: "Can you see it? What kind of person is it?" He couldn't help frowning: "That kid's shameless appearance is quite like the demeanor of my youth......"
The new pocket earth world was formed very quickly, and the flow rate of internal and external time was absolutely different, Wei Wencheng successfully crossed, and then devoted himself to the cultivation of the Maoshan faction, and nine years passed in a hurry, Zhang Lu just casually turned around a few times in the super three-dimensional world, and had a general understanding of the customs and customs. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 But after he entered the Pocket Earth World, he felt that the difference between the internal and external time flow speed was not very large, which couldn't help but remind him of a sentence that the Sanwu monk once said-
"How can you be sure that your time is mine?"
Is time attached to a universal property of a space, or is it actually isolated with different individuals?
But even so, after all, the speed of time in the pocket earth world is still much faster than that of the outside world, and Zhang Lu only then understands why when he was practicing, the Sanwu monk came and went in a hurry every time - he really couldn't afford to waste so much time.
It is true that for super-three-dimensional creatures, the "immortal" is extremely long, as if there is a lot of time to waste, but that is only for ordinary immortals, they do not have any clear goal of "immortal", they just either enjoy life, or continue to practice, and seek further ascension. It is said that if you succeed in cultivating in the super-three-dimensional world, you will be able to soar again and go to the real four-dimensional world, but because the number of immortals is so small and the time is incomparably long, there are very few cases of real success - and they are all legends, and none of them can be confirmed.
Therefore, for the vast majority of immortals, they only have such a long-term goal, just like a child thinking that when I am seventy or eighty, I must be able to have a successful career and a lot of money, but after all, time is still long, because of such a distant goal and now without parental supervision, take the initiative to cherish every minute and second, and one out of ten thousand children may not be able to find one.
These immortals don't care much about wasting time, but Zhang Lu can't help but care, he still thinks that one day he can cross the quadrant and compete with the dragon, and he has to join forces with the boxing champion and the Sanwu monk to discover the truth that the earth is sealed. Therefore, when he entered the Pocket Earth World and only tested Wei Wencheng, he returned to the planet "Tatooine".
Monk Sanwu couldn't help but ask him, "Why do you have to give that kid a Neidan?"
Zhang Lu pouted: "Maoshan's cultivation method is not old and reliable, and the Taoist priest on the West Mountain has not been able to learn Tao Hongjing's three things, that kid follows them, I am afraid that I will practice to death, and I will not even be able to mix with an earth immortal." ”
The Sanwu monk explained: "If you are too worried, the pocket world will have its own adjustment mechanism." ”
"What are you doing with that effort?" Zhang Lu spread his hands, "Anyway, it's a good thing for me to do without any expense, so I'll help him, get that kid to the sky as soon as possible, and we will have one more helper." ”
As he spoke, he couldn't help frowning, saying that the newcomer was very smart, but he was also quite lazy, and he was not a cultivator of the Immortal Dao, nor did he have any grand ambitions, so why was this so similar to me?
The Sanwu monk pouted: "How much do you know about the boxing king? How do you know that he is strict and square?"
Zhang Lu couldn't help but widen his eyes: "Do you mean ......?"
Sanwu monk hurriedly interrupted him: "I didn't say anything, the boxing king's predecessor Wen Cheng Wude, Ze was ...... by the common people" Without waiting for Zhang Lu to blurt out, "It's still thousands of years, and you will dominate the rivers and lakes", he hurriedly went deeper into the topic: "In fact, the poor monk has also carefully discussed this issue with the boxing king - after discovering that your character is like this...... Hey, at times like this -- did you notice another important question, which is, we're basically from the same era?"
Zhang Lu nodded. He doesn't know the specific situation of the boxing king, he himself is from the early 21st century, listening to some common words of the Sanwu monk, the difference between him and himself will not be more than ten years, as for Wei Wencheng...... Zhang Lu will be observant, he has a slight turn of his mind from Wei Wencheng's face with the carp spirit, but he has found many familiar images of Japanese female artists......
Could it be that this mechanism for generating pocket worlds and ingesting earthlings only started working at least in the second half of the twentieth century?
The Sanwu monk did not beat around the bush, and directly gave the speculation he came up with after discussing with the boxing champion: "Because the era we come from is completely different from the previous era, I don't mean the material, but the spiritual aspect." What are the different psychological states of the Chinese people in these years, at least the urban youth, from their predecessors? The vast majority of the ancients were superstitious about authority, bowed to power, and did not have enough impetus to change their own environment; a very small number of those who despised authority were too active and materialistic, and it was impossible for them to set foot on their hearts and practice seriously. But we are different, it can be said that we have both strengths, both suitable for the environment, but also uneasy about the status quo, have enough understanding of the development of society, and have a clear understanding of the relationship between individuals and society......
To put it bluntly, the wisdom of the people has been opened, and they have both individual consciousness and attachment to society. ”
Zhang Lu carefully chewed the words of the three no-monk monks, and it seemed that this was really the truth. But then he remembered a new question: "There is one more point -- why are the selected ones all men? I thought I would guide a female disciple -- you are clearly discriminating against women and politically incorrect!"
The Sanwu monk was stunned when he heard this, and then smiled: "I believe in Buddhism." The Lotus Sutra says, 'There are still five obstacles in a woman's body, one is not allowed to be a Brahma king, two is an emperor, three is a demon king, four is a chakra holy king, and five is ......a Buddha body.'"
Although Zhang Lu knew that the other party was joking, he couldn't help but pretend and scolded angrily: "I rely on this garbage from ancient times, I didn't expect you to be such a feudal remnant!"
"You really don't know how to tease...... In fact, from the Buddha's point of view, all sentient beings have Buddha nature, so what is the difference between men and women?
Zhang Lu pouted: "No, no, no, there is still a difference - monks take the dry road, and nuns take the water road." ”
"Hu, I didn't expect you to be such a male and female lewd thief!"
was talking, and suddenly Zhang Lu felt something, turned his head to take a look, and saw that there was an inexplicable extra person next to the two. It was an adult man, with a face similar to that of a Eurasian half-breed, long black hair tied in a ponytail at the back of his head, a cleanly shaved beard, revealing pale cyan fibrous roots, wearing a narrow-sleeved robe of unknown texture and bluish color, and holding a golden slide ruler in his hand.
The Sanwu monk hurriedly saluted: "Suo Xian'er, why did you suddenly come here?"
Zhang Lu naturally knew this immortal, and he had seen this person when he was still spinning in the three-dimensional world, but at that time he was still called "too obsessed with the demon". It is said that at that time, Zhang Lu really thought that there were several heavens and demons in the super three-dimensional world who held great power, what was too true, too stupid, too simple, too easy, and so on, and after ascending to immortal, he knew that it was just a fake name made up in response to the myths and legends of the Tianyuan world. To put it bluntly, if the "Mystery World" system is a video game, then Heaven and Demon are just the IDs of administrators on the Tengaki server.
This guy who has been holding the ID of "too obsessed with the devil" for a while recently, his real name is "Suo Tai", and in the three-dimensional world where he ascended to immortal, he is generally called "Xian'er" for masters, so he also likes people to call him "Suo Xian'er".
Suo Tai smiled at the Sanwu monk, and then stretched out his hand and pointed at Zhang Lu: "I'm looking for him--by the way, have you seriously considered my proposal last time?"
Zhang Lu frowned, but looked at the Sanwu monk: "I...... Is that okay?"
San Wu smiled and said, "What's not to do? Anyway, this is a good opportunity to integrate into the 'Dragon Slayer Team'." ”
Zhang Lu's brows furrowed even tighter: "I just can't stand this name......"
The Sanwu monk once told him that he belonged to an immortal organization called the "Dragon Slayer Team", and hoped that Zhang Lu would also be able to join. Zhang Lu spat at that time: "It's so ugly! Why is it called such a name?" San Wu replied: "Because the purpose is clear, we just want to slay the dragon." ”
Now that I think about it, as the leader of the "Dragon Slaying Team," could it be that this name was given by the boxing champion Wei Qiang? If this is the case, I really can't have much hope for the character of the boxing champion......
The history of the super-three-dimensional world is indeed not much different from the conclusion reached by Wen Yishan in the three-dimensional world meditation out of thin air. When the first humans in the three-dimensional world, or rather humanoid intelligent beings, flew up, they discovered that there was another kind of intelligent life already in the known quadrant: dragons. As for whether the dragon evolved naturally from the super-three-dimensional natives, or whether it also flew up from some three-dimensional world, no one can figure it out.
At first, the two sides were relatively peaceful, but soon conflicts arose due to different life forms. Sanwu said at the time: "The history of human warfare is basically a history of resource competition, but it is not necessarily that many tropical tribes on their heads will not fight every day when coconuts are smashed on their heads. In the super three-dimensional world, the resources are endless, and they can each take what they need and not offend each other, but the difference between the life forms of humans and dragons is too far away, and a little spark may roll up the prairie fire......"
Because of the difference in life forms, there are no universal rules to speak of, and once there is a misunderstanding, it doesn't matter if there is a misunderstanding, no matter if there is a discord, the same clan will only help relatives, not help - because there is no reason that both sides agree on. So in the end, the war broke out, and the human race was almost slaughtered by the dragons because of the small number of humans, but soon new immortals flew up, and it was not easy to finally stabilize the position.
Maybe it's the principle of nature, during that time, the cultivators of the three-dimensional world broke through the realm and soared for a period of blowout prosperity, and the newcomers flew up, and they first saw that there were dragons abusing their fellow clansmen, so they naturally couldn't sit idly by, so they launched a Jedi counterattack. In fact, to pick it up carefully, the immortals are all from different three-dimensional worlds, and they can't really be regarded as the same race, but after all, they look similar - especially compared to dragons - and the language is comprehensible - in fact, the thinking wavelength is similar, with the ability of immortals, they can automatically translate each other's language, but they can't translate the language of the dragon family - so they are naturally attracted to the same kind.
The human race lost the first battle, but the strength was very strong, and the dragon clan was forced back in one breath, and even expelled from many quadrants. However, once the balance of victory and defeat is deflected, some strange qualifications inherent in the human personality cannot help but emerge one after another, and some immortals immediately leave the team to enjoy life or continue to practice -- anyway, the dragon can't counterattack, and there are no less than one of us who fights the dragon; some immortals even proposed: It's good that we win, and we can do it with our own territory, and we won't want to completely wipe out the dragon clan, right? Even if they are not natives of the heavens, after all, there will be one who comes first and first, and we are the invaders......
You say that the heavens are so big, and there is no shortage of resources, what are you doing to fight all day long? Let's try to abandon our old suspicions, share their respective quadrants with the dragons, and coexist peacefully -- just one step away, maybe we will set up a "Greenpeace Organization" or a "Cosmic Dragons Organization......
