Chapter 51, the immortal
To tell the truth, the heavenly scenes that Zhang Jian showed Zhang Lu, including plot arrangement, material editing, as well as camera movement and switching, and other artistic techniques, are quite remarkable. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info especially at the beginning of the most magnificent Tianfeng, Kunlun, and Zifu, in a certain reverse order, which is enough to attract the audience's eyes firmly - of course, Zhang Lu's eyes are not attracted, he was forced to press on the seat and was forced to watch all this.
The story is basically round-as far as Zhang Lu's request for domestic films in his previous life is not an extravagant one-The internal clues that are not mentioned in the character dialogues and voiceovers can also be seen at a glance with Zhang Lu's IQ.
It was nothing more than the invasion of Zong, forcing the immortals to gather, first introducing Liu Lei as the Heavenly Prince, and then asking Tai Sui to divinate the future. However, there are two messages in Tai Sui's divination, one is "Silla White Sparrow, you can get rid of it", and the other is "The long man holds the bow, shoots the golden knife, and kills the Tai Yuan". He only revealed the first proverb to the immortals, but deliberately concealed the second proverb.
Because divination is the future of the immortals, not the changes in the world, so it is obvious that the "Mao Golden Knife" refers to the lord of the immortals, not the emperor of the world - who else can be said except to say that the heavenly prince Liu Lei can be said? This proverb does not indicate that Liu Han is about to die, and the Zhang family is the ruler of the Central Plains, but that above the immortal sky, the position of the heavenly prince will be changed from the surname Liu to the surname Zhang!
Just as the foreign enemy was approaching, this would undoubtedly cause the suspicion of the immortals and the turmoil of the immortals, so Tai Sui didn't dare to announce it, but he really couldn't hold it back - his mentality, Zhang Lu was quite understandable - so just like the barber in the Western fairy tale, he found a hole at random, shouted loudly into the hole, and poured out the secrets in his heart.
As for the well where Tai Sui lived, it was connected to the heavenly abyss and went straight to the mortal realm, whether he was clear about this matter, Zhang Lu had no way to speculate - it is estimated that even if he was clear, the other side of the abyss was exported overseas in the mortal world, and it was difficult for people to reach it, so he didn't take it to heart. However, what Tai Sui didn't know was that Nanhua Immortal Yu Ji happened to find the other end of the abyss in order to find the ladder to the sky, and wanted to pass through the abyss and go straight to the fairy world.
So the rumor fell in Yu Ji's ears, he was amorous, and thought that the immortals wanted to spread this prophecy to the world through their mouths, which caused a catastrophe - the Eastern Han Dynasty should have died, but if there was no Yu Ji's involvement, it is estimated that there would not be so many demons surnamed Zhang.
After figuring out the cause and effect, Zhang Lu also understood that after getting the relevant information from Yu Ji, he hurried back to Dingmur Mountain and wanted to report the matter to Pei Xuanren, but not only Pei Xuanren was nowhere to be seen, but even Zhang Jian no longer appeared. In fact, Zhang Jian quickly learned the reason through some channels - perhaps he had been monitoring Zhang Lu's every move all the time - and since he knew, of course there was no need to go down to Zhang Lu to inquire about the results of the investigation.
Zhang Jian explored the two ends of the abyss, and realized that the rumor came from the mouth of Tai Sui......
Thinking of this, Zhang Lu couldn't help but blurt out and asked, "Are there many immortals surnamed Zhang in the sky?"
"No more...... Do you know the origin of my surname Zhang?"
Zhang is a mortal surname, but in fact, the origin of this surname is not very ancient. Legend has it that Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor has a grandson name, because of the invention of the bow and arrow, so it was given to Zhang by the Yellow Emperor and sealed in Puyang - in fact, this statement is not old and reliable, but some descendants of the surname Zhang climbed the ancestors in vain and wanted to make their own history a little longer. It is really well documented, in the Spring and Autumn Period, the Jin Dynasty had a doctor to solve Zhang, the word Zhang Hou, and his descendants took the word of their ancestors as their name, and Zhang's family has been passed down since then - the surname of the Han Dynasty merged, and Zhang's became Zhang's surname. At least Zhang Liang and Zhang Zifang, one of the "Three Masters of the Early Han Dynasty", he is a descendant of Xie Zhang.
Therefore, Zhang Jian said, at least after the middle of the Spring and Autumn Period, there was a Zhang family, and it was not until the Han Dynasty that the Zhang family was widely multiplied and became a big surname in the world. And if it is counted from the time when the prince of the east and the queen mother of the west attained the Tao, the history of Xiantian has been about 15,000 years, and from the Spring and Autumn Period to the present, it is only a short 1,000 years. Not only that, but the number of immortals is more and more backwards, and the further they go, the fewer they are—that's why people like Zhang Jian and others are worried about the severance of the Fa-rectification lineage.
In this way, even if you don't understand statistics, just guess with common sense, there are definitely not many immortals surnamed Zhang.
"Today, the immortal surnamed Zhang, only I and Zhang Jujun'er. ”
Among them, Zhang Jujun has just ascended to immortal, and his qualifications are too tender, if he is said to threaten Liu Lei's throne of Heavenly Prince, it is estimated that it is unlikely - or it will take longer to prepare - so Zhang Lu pointed out sharply: "The so-called 'long man holding the bow', is it saying that he is stabbing your brother?!"
Zhang Jian's words came to his mind, and he seemed to be smiling bitterly at the same time: "I don't know." ”
Although he didn't know, Zhang Jian was not a stupid uncle, and the reason why he instructed Pei Xuanren to send Zhang Lu and others to investigate the source of the rumor was to suspect that the prophecy was not talking about the mortal world, but about the heavenly realm. Of course, before the matter was completely figured out, he didn't dare to make a big fuss, let alone report to Tiangong Liu Ti, so he was so mysterious.
However, Zhang Jian immediately declared to Zhang Lu that he had no ambition to replace the Heavenly Father at all-"If we seek the king and seek hegemony, why should we practice to ascend to heaven?" The first purpose of cultivation is to live forever, and the second purpose is to get rid of the mortal world where disasters are continuous. Zhang Jian insisted that he had no delusional intentions at all.
"And above the immortal sky, the immortals are all like retreats, and they rarely come and go, if it is not for the invasion of the gods, even the heavenly prince will not have it, so what is the benefit of getting this position?"
Speaking of which, Tiangong is just a temporary position that was elected to be responsible for planning the strategy against the emperor, not to mention the emperor of the world, not even the power of a landowner in an ordinary village in the mortal world, saying that the public servant is a little bent, but it is not necessarily more noble than the immortal next to him, so why bother to fight?
Therefore, when Zhang Jian sent Zhang Lu to investigate this matter, he dared to hide it from Liu Lei for the time being-you are not interested in Tiangong's position, and you may not be completely interested in Liu Lei, and you are ready to pick a son at any time.
But when the investigation revealed the truth of the facts, it was true that this prophecy was about the heavens, not the mortal world, Zhang Jian didn't dare to continue to hide it, and hurriedly ran to report to Liu Lei......
So Zhang Lu saw the plot of the second half of the movie shown by Zhang Jian. First of all, Zhang Jian reported to Liu Lei, and stated that he was secretly investigating the matter, and never revealed it to the second person or immortal - even Pei Xuanren, who had just ascended to the immortal, knew it but didn't know why. Liu Lei smiled bitterly and said: "How can I covet this person? Since the name of Heavenly Father, all the cultivation has been put aside, and the troubles and miscellaneous things are endless every day, and all the immortals are obedient to orders?"
The immortals recommended Liu Lei as the prince of heaven, in fact, they were just looking for a target to facilitate kicking the ball, you don't look at Liu Lei to see Tian'er sending tasks to the immortals, but most of the immortals did not buy it, and often disobeyed the yang and the yin. If you ask them to block the gaps in the sky near their homes, that's fine, let them run away and help take care of other homes, but they often find all kinds of excuses to refuse to make the trip. Liu Lei can barely command Zhang Jian's juniors, and the total number is less than one-fifth of the group of immortals - except for Zhang Jian who went down to look for the "white sparrow", the others have all organized patrols to exterminate the invading immortals everywhere - as for the old timers such as the East Prince, the West Queen Mother, etc., who did he order it?
So Liu Lei wanted to complain to Zhang Jian, saying that there was really nothing to do with this day - "If you have to rest on your shoulders, so will my wish." "Why don't you come to be this heavenly father, since the rumor says that Zhang will replace Liu, then we might as well obey the will of heaven.
Zhang Jian waved his hand again and again, saying that I don't have the qualifications and ability to be a god-" And the prophecy can not be judged by common sense, it may not be true to the surname Zhang, that is, the surname Zhang may not be in me. "Isn't there another Zhang Jujun who is about to ascend to the sky? And maybe there will be another Zhang surnamed Chengxian in the future, and the prophecy does not say how long it will be before Zhang replaces Liu.
Liu Lei pondered for a long time, nodded slightly, and then warned Zhang Jian, saying that then you should be busy with your own business, but remember, this matter should not be mentioned again, and you should not tell others, so as not to cause turmoil in the fairy sky. Zhang Jian walked away.
When Zhang Jian reported to Liu Lei, he stood on the side of the Imperial Dragon Pond, and at the door of Liu Lei's thatched huts, he said goodbye, took three steps back, and then turned around. I was going to stomp my foot and break through the void, or return to my home, or go to the mortal world on a business trip - there is no entrance and exit in the immortal world, so we all shuttle back and forth like this - who would have thought that Liu Lei behind him suddenly turned his face, and then raised his hand and said: "Hurry!"
With a "whew", the waves in the dragon pool were turbulent, and the two dragons came out through the waves, one after the other, blocking Zhang Jian's way. Zhang Jian turned his head in astonishment and asked, "Why is Tiangong like this?" Liu Lei sneered and was silent, just beckoning again, he heard the faint sound of thunder above, and then a huge meteorite was wrapped in thunder and fire, and it smashed straight towards Zhang Jian's head!
Zhang Jian's escape was blocked by Shuanglong, and there was no way to avoid it at the moment, so he screamed, and was hit by a meteorite and immediately turned into ashes......
In fact, Zhang Lu had a premonition in his heart for this scene, but when he saw the ending, he couldn't help but exclaim in horror, and asked Zhang Jian: "Shouldn't immortals be immortal?
He didn't ask Zhang Jian if you were beaten to death by Liu Lei-nonsense, this is originally a memory, a flashback, if he is really dead, whose voice is nagging in his head? But since Liu Lei is so ruthless, he definitely doesn't just want to beat Zhang Jian, look at his expression, it is a posture of killing people and destroying mouths-if the immortal is immortal, isn't he untargeted?
Zhang Jian replied to Zhang Lu's question: "But when you hear that you are immortal, you will live forever? Immortal life is better than heaven and earth, but heaven and earth have both life and death." ”
First of all, the lifespan of immortals is not endless, because there is life and death in the world, and there can be no immortal existence. Since an immortal is above the immortal sky, the upper limit of its lifespan will inevitably be restricted by the immortal heaven and death - unless, like the legendary Pangu and Nuwa, they have already transcended the immortal heaven and gone to a new layer of realm, so that they can escape the lifespan limit of their own heaven and earth, but they will still be limited by the lifespan of that new layer of realm.
But there are also legends that Pangu and Nuwa are not detached, but have already fallen. If this is the case, it can even prove that even the upper limit of the existence of the Immortal Heaven World cannot be reached by ordinary immortals.
Secondly, although the immortals are not stained with red dust and do not have diseases, in some special circumstances, they may still hang up before the end of their longevity - for example, let the inexplicable haunts be completely erased. Of course, this only exists theoretically, because the absolute number of immortals is too small, and there is little interaction with each other, so it is difficult to obtain accurate empirical evidence. To put it bluntly, there may be some immortals who inexplicably hang up in advance, but in the vast majority of cases, he will only gradually be forgotten by other immortals, and it is difficult for any immortal to realize that he died sideways - unless he lives in the same world like the Eastern Princes and the Western Queen Mother, and they get together for three days.
As for being destroyed, that's just a theory, because immortals are afraid of death--I have worked hard to cultivate for hundreds of thousands of years before I can ascend to the immortal, not for me to die in another place!
Since it is only a theory and there is no empirical evidence, it is impossible for Liu Lei to hope to beat Zhang Jian to ashes in one fell swoop. Zhang Jian told Zhang Lu, saying: "I am not destroyed, but I am really condemned by God." ”
That is when he showed Zhang Lu the Wuji World, he mentioned the Laozi-like immortal setting. Zhang Jian said that if an immortal is seriously injured for some reason—under normal circumstances, his cultivation goes wrong, and he goes mad a lot, and he is really injured by his kind, it is estimated that he himself is the first one to open the world—he will be sent down to the mortal world and turned into a mortal. This kind of immortal is actually not much different from the mortal, only a little spiritual light in the depths of his heart is not extinguished, if he can still embark on the path of cultivating immortals in the end, and it is going well, then it is possible to awaken the memory of the past world and re-ascend to the heavenly realm - for example, Lao Tzu & Li Er.
What if you don't take the path of cultivation? Or if you haven't awakened the memory of the world, you have come to the end of your life? Then the end will be the end, and from then on, there will be a dead person, and then there will be no chance with the immortals.
So Liu Ti started to split Zhang Jian and degraded him to the mortal world. If he stops here, then there is still a possibility that Zhang Jian will return to the immortal realm after hundreds of thousands of years; if he does not give up, he can find Zhang Jian in the mortal world by some means, and add another knife, and cut off the root of the bane.
Hearing this, Zhang Lu couldn't help frowning: "Now that you have been deceived, then how could you awaken the memory of the past world so quickly?"
Zhang Jian said with a smile: "I am not denied, I have actually returned to the mortal world, and the person who has been deprived has been harmed by the heavenly father!"
