Chapter 9: The Secrets of the Immortals
Meng Zhang carefully probed in the hall after sending the two away, hoping to find some clues, he found that this hall was somewhat similar to the one twenty years ago, but there were some more peculiarities, according to the records of the Living Corpse Sect in the dossier, this sect has a history of 10,000 years, the earliest can be traced back to the era of the gods, the people of the Living Corpse Sect called an ancient god named Xuanyin as their ancestor, but for this Xuanyin Meng Zhang rummaged through all the classics in the capital and did not find any information about him, The peculiarity of the main hall here is that there is no statue of Xuanyin God that should be enshrined in the hall, except for the patterns on the rock wall and the ground, the whole hall is empty.
But Meng Zhang felt a breath in this hall, a breath of nothingness, so he sat cross-legged on the ground and made some sounds similar to spells, and then the whole hall began to become empty, time passed by Meng Zhang's side, and the picture kept flashing back Jiang Xiaolou and Wu Nian actually appeared in the picture again, the ashes of the hall slowly dissipated with time, and some things that were not originally there appeared in the hall, and suddenly Meng Zhang opened his eyes suddenly, "This is it." Time also stopped at this moment, "Fortunately, only two hundred years have passed, otherwise it would be difficult for me to go back in time to find this node." ”
The supernatural power of time rewind was created by Meng Zhang's senior brother Xingwu, that is, Northern Xuanwu. For this senior brother Meng Zhang has always been unable to see through, he once asked the teacher about the senior brother was the second year of Meng Zhang's worship of the master at that time, the young and vigorous Meng Zhang wanted to test the depth of the senior brother who meditated all day, but who knew that he didn't even touch the placket of the senior brother in the end, but was banished by the senior brother into the long river of time, and then Meng Zhang challenged Xingwu several times, and the results all ended in failure without exception, he remembered that the most recent one was sixty years ago, At that time, Meng Zhang had already achieved the immortal in the whole world except for his own master he was invincible, that time was also the closest he was to the elder brother, he came to the senior brother's one zhang, after entering a zhang Meng Zhang clearly knew the gap between the two, so humbly asked Xingwu for advice, Xingwu was not stingy to teach his supernatural powers to Meng Zhang, the senior brother once said that the practice lies in meditation and hopes that Meng Zhang can meditate to enlighten, and Meng Zhang believes that the practice lies in the experience and walking, so since then Meng Zhang has traveled the world, Finally, under the instructions of the master, he assisted Emperor Liang to pacify the world.
Back in the main hall, the reason why Meng Zhang chose this node is because when he was ready to continue, he found that he seemed to be watched by a ray of gaze, it stands to reason that the person who exerts his magical powers is equivalent to a person in the high-dimensional world in the long river of time, and the low-dimensional things in time cannot be found by themselves, if there is an accident, that person's strength is very strong, so Meng Zhang entered this node, and when he entered, he saw a man with a cloak sitting on a stone chair, "What is the relationship between you and Xingwu?" The man said in a very faint voice, as if it would be scattered with the wind in the next second.
Meng Zhang was extremely shocked by this person's words, this person knew Senior Brother? Then he should also know Master, so who is he? "Xingwu is my senior brother, who are you? Why here? ”
"I'm a dying man...... It turned out to be his disciple......"
Meng Zhang was now sure that the relationship between this person and his master must be unusual, so he asked, "You know my master, so why have I never heard of you?" ”
"It's normal that you haven't heard my name, after all, I'm a sinner, a sinner in the whole world. Now that I'm dying, I won't sell Guanzi, my name is Cao Huayan, a disciple of the Extreme Heaven Sword Sect. ”
"What?!" Stunned by Meng Zhang's concentration, he still shouted in surprise, the Extreme Heaven Sword Sect, which was one of the five major sects five thousand years ago, was destroyed by the Liyang Emperor at that time as early as two thousand years ago, this person said that he was a disciple of the Extreme Heaven Sword Sect, which means that he lived for at least two thousand years, if what he said was true, then his master and senior brother were at least the people of the Liyang Dynasty, but even the Wu Ancestor of that year only lived for 1,500 years.
Cao Huayan knew what he was thinking when he saw Meng Zhang's expression, so he continued, "In fact, when you reach the Xuan Immortal Realm, you can live for five thousand years at the shortest, and even eight thousand years long. ”
"But why is it that the longest recorded Xuan Immortal, Wu Zu, has a lifespan of only 1,500 years?"
"Wu Zu? Hahahaha, do you really think he is dying? ”
As soon as these words came out, Meng Zhang trembled, and a terrifying thought appeared in his mind, didn't Wu Zu die right? Who could have killed him? So what's going on? What is the matter with this person in front of you? Meng Zhang's mind was already in a mess, and he knew that the only person in front of him could help him solve these problems, so he told Cao Huayan all the confusion in his mind one by one, hoping to get his answer.
"Do you remember what realm is above the Xuan Immortal?" Cao Huayan inexplicably asked Meng Zhang such a question.
"Qiankun."
"That's right, Qiankun Realm. Qiankun can refer to heaven and earth, and can also refer to yin and yang, so is the Qiankun realm yin or yang, heaven or earth? Have you thought about this question? People say that the Qiankun realm cannot be reached, but if someone cultivates to that supreme realm, will people know about it? Immortals are still human beings after all, just a powerful person, and the essence of human nature is selfishness and greed, do you think there is really no fairy world? It's just that they don't want you to know, those immortals are suffering from the incense of the world and prevent mortals from ascending to the sky, if this is the immortal, are you willing to be it? ”
Meng Zhang resolutely shook his head and replied very decisively, "I don't care to be such an immortal, just like a villain, how can I talk about immortals?" ”
"Alas~ If I could have thought the same as you back then, those things wouldn't have happened...... Junior, let's go, the Living Corpse Sect here has been solved by me, and the formation in the courtyard is also laid by me, but unfortunately I have less than eleven left in my life, so I have to hastily arrange a formation, go ahead, I hope you can stick to your heart. After finishing speaking, Cao Huayan was silent, Meng Zhang bowed to the ancestor who met in Pingshui before leaving, expressing his kindness to him, although Cao Huayan kept saying that he was a sinner, but Meng Zhang's intuition told him that he was a good person.
Meng Zhang returned to the hall two hundred years later through the long river of time, after this time he felt that his worldview had been fragmented, if what Cao Huayan said was true, then what is the difference between the people in this world and the pigs and dogs in the circle? He was going to ask the master in person after returning to Beijing, if the master didn't say that he would ask the senior brother again, if no one answered, he would personally try to see if there were immortals in the sky.
With the end of Meng Zhang's investigation, Jiang Xiaolou and Wunian were also sent back to the inn, and then the entire Xuancheng gradually returned to its former liveliness, although people had doubts but didn't care much, Jiang Xiaolou, who returned to the guest room, just told the big golden tooth that everything was handled properly, and let him not forget to give the promised generous gift, the big golden tooth cried bitterly when he heard that he hugged Jiang Xiaolou, if Jiang Xiaolou hadn't kicked him out, it is estimated that he would have really become the father of the big golden tooth, Wu Yuandao was relieved to see that Jiang Xiaolou was safe and sound, However, he felt both familiar and a little surprised the moment he saw Wu Nian, because this was not the classic dress of a monk in his previous life, but Buddhism in this life was almost difficult in Daliang, so it was a rare thing to see a monk in Daliang.
