Prologue

Next Chapter

The vast universe is free in the sky, and the avenue is invisibly divided into two sides.

Originally, the situation was fixed, but the poor obsession was as delusional as smoke.

In the extremely high and extremely high place of the distant cosmic space, in the extraterrestrial heavens beyond the thirty-three layers of heaven, there is a huge and incomparably large space, this space is so vast that it can no longer be described as large, and the sun, moon and stars in the universe are like grains of sand in this space.

In this huge space, there is a clear lake, on the calm and beautiful surface of the lake, there is a huge lotus platform, on this lotus platform, there are thousands of Taoist disciples sitting cross-legged, all the disciples folded their hands, sitting around a great avenue cultivator, listening to the teachings of the great avenue cultivator on the central high platform.

The deep and distant voice resounded through the nine heavens, and I listened to him slowly, and said: "The number of heaven and earth, there are 129,600 years of one yuan. The one yuan is divided into 12 branches, Naizi, Chou, Yin, Mao, Chen, Si, Wu, Wei, Shen, You, Xu, and Hai. Each meeting should be 10,800 years old. When the child is young, the rooster crows; Yin does not pass through the light, and Mao is the sunrise; After eating, and the Si are lined up; The sun is in the middle of the day, and it is not in the west; Shen Shi Shi and sunset; Dusk and people are fixed. For example, in the case of large numbers, if it reaches the end of the meeting, then the heavens and the earth will be darkened and all things will be lost. If you go to 5,400 years old, at the beginning of the Jiaohai Society, it will be dark, and the characters in the two rooms are gone, so it is called chaos. Another five thousand four hundred years old, the Hai will come to an end, the beginning of the Zhenxia, the meeting of the near son, and the resumption of the gradual enlightenment..."

At the outskirts of the crowd, there was a little boy dressed as a child, he saw that no one noticed him, so he took out a paper crane from his arms, and played with himself, this paper crane was made of a small piece of golden cicada paper found on the table when he was cleaning the master's study a few days ago, and it took him more than three days to fold it.

This golden paper crane looks lifelike, it is as thin as a cicada's wings to the touch, it is very beautiful, and it is constantly flying back and forth between the boy's fingers, and the little boy is really happy.

Not far from the boy sat a girl of his age, whose eyes were full of envy as she saw the boy playing with the paper crane in her hand intently.

She looked at it for a while, and finally couldn't help it, she took out a white transparent bead from her arms, this ordinary-looking bead was condensed by this girl who spent seven seven hundred and forty-nine days collecting Bodhi dew, which can be said to be very precious.

The girl cautiously approached the boy, pleading, and whispered to the boy, "Senior brother, this is my latest jade Bodhi, let's exchange them one by one, and give me the paper crane in your hand, okay?" ”

The boy glanced at the jade Bodhi in the girl's hand, shook his head and said, "Don't change it, I also have this jade Bodhi, so you should keep it yourself." ”

The girl was a little disappointed when she heard that the boy refused to accept the exchange, but she did not give up, but continued to beg and said, "Senior brother, can you just give me the paper crane in your hand to play?" It's okay to play for a while, and I'll give it back to you right away..."

Just as the two of them were talking, a loud voice came from the center of the lotus platform in the distance, saying, "Gentle wind, you two, don't sit there and listen to the Fa, what do you want to keep making noise below?" ”

At this time, the Great Dao cultivator who was teaching in the center of the lotus platform looked at the two boys who were talking below with his divine eyes, and the two boys hurriedly stood up and stuck out their tongues at the Great Dao cultivator, and the two of them had already thrown the paper crane and the jade bodhi in their hands behind their backs.

The two boys and girls said to the Great Dao cultivator at the same time, "Master, we know that we are wrong, we won't dare next time..."

The Great Dao cultivator in the center of the lotus platform just shook his head with a smile at them, and said lovingly: "O you, listen carefully the next time you teach the Fa, and don't make noise at will, disturb others, and don't make an example!" Do you understand? ”

The two of them replied in unison, "Yes!" Disciple understands! We don't dare anymore! ”

The Great Dao cultivator nodded, motioned for them to sit down, and then began to continue teaching.

The two boys who sat down turned around to look for their paper crane and jade bodhi, and found that these two things, because they had thrown them behind them with a bit of force just now, had been thrown into the lake by them, and now they had long since disappeared.

The jade bodhi and paper cranes that sank into the lake water, as time passed, sank more and more to the bottom of the lake, mixing with the sand and gravel at the bottom of the lake, but they continued to sink downward, and they did not know how long it had been, they slowly passed out of this huge space and traveled deeper into the cosmic space.

I don't know how long I have traveled and how many years have passed, but the paper crane and the jade Bodhi have turned into two golden rays of light, shuttling quickly in this vast cosmic space, and the speed is difficult to capture with the naked eye.

At this time, from the distant void of the universe, two purple lights shot quickly, intercepting the two golden lights of the jade Bodhi and the paper crane, when the two purple lights stopped, two figures appeared from the purple light, these two figures were dressed as Taoist priests, one was wearing a white robe, and the other was wearing a gray robe.

I listened to the gray-clothed Taoist say respectfully to the white-clothed Taoist: "Senior brother, wouldn't it be too child's play for you to say that the 'Holy Lord' handed over such an important matter to us?" That's a lot of things for the future! ”

The white-clothed Taoist replied: "Senior brother, I have also thought about this problem, but the 'Holy Lord' has entrusted us with such an important matter, which is an incomparable trust in us, so how can we not do our best, even if the two of us encounter great resistance and difficulties, if they want me to be wiped out, I will complete this matter!" Because this matter involves too much and too much, there must not be the slightest carelessness and mistakes! ”

The gray-clothed Taoist said: "Yes, senior brother, I think so too, but you still have to be careful in everything, I heard that this time the Holy Lord's arrangement was secretly tampered with and destroyed by some people with ulterior motives..."

The white-clothed Taoist sneered and said, "Senior brother, you don't have to worry, the 'Holy Lord' has already understood everything, so arrange for me to help the Holy Lord in secret, and I will set up a special space, where I will act according to the Holy Lord's previous arrangement." ”

Not far in front of him, a purple ball of energy appeared out of thin air, as the white-clothed Taoist continued to inject energy, this energy ball gradually became more and more condensed, and when fine beads of sweat had penetrated from the head of the white-clothed Taoist, he stopped the infusion of energy.

I saw a purple energy ball the size of a millstone hovering in mid-air, and there were occasional lightning flashes around the energy ball, and the energy ball appeared and disappeared in the air, giving people a very strange feeling.

The gray-clothed Taoist was surprised and said, "Senior brother, what is this energy ball?" How can it be so weird? ”

The white-clothed Taoist smiled: "Inside this energy ball is a space, this is condensed by the method given to me by the Holy Bishop, this space is not easy to be perceived, and it will not be easily detected, this space is an independent system, and in the future, I will help the Holy Lord complete an important mission in this space." ”

The gray-clothed Taoist suddenly realized and said, "I see, but senior brother, in this way, you will be silent for thousands of years, and you will be lonely for a long time by yourself." ”

The white-clothed Taoist waved his hand and said with a smile: "Hehehe, no, what do you think this is?" As he spoke, he took out the jade Bodhi and paper cranes that he had intercepted earlier from his arms.

The gray-clothed Taoist was puzzled and said, "Senior brother, who are you?" ”

The white-clothed Taoist did not answer his junior brother's words, but threw the jade Bodhi and the paper crane into the air, and then he stretched out his hands, palms up, and chanted the mantra in his mouth, only to see that from his two palms, a huge energy ball was generated, and slowly this energy ball began to slowly break away from his hands, wrapping towards the jade Bodhi and the paper crane in the air.

Not long after the jade Bodhi and the paper crane were wrapped in the energy ball, they saw that in the center of the huge energy ball, a boy and a crane suddenly appeared, the previous jade Bodhi and the paper crane have disappeared, this person and a crane are in the energy ball, moving their respective bodies, as if they already have life!

When the gray-clothed Taoist saw this, his eyes lit up, and he said: "Hahaha, okay, senior brother, you are smart, you have given life to the two magic weapons that you just intercepted, but you can save yourself from being bored in that space." ”

The white-clothed Taoist smiled and said, "In addition to avoiding boredom, they will also be a big help to me, and some things may be for them to do in the future." After speaking, I saw him wave his big hand and send this person and a crane into that special space.

After all this was done, the white-clothed Taoist said, "Senior brother, the matter here is over, let's hurry first!" As he spoke, the white-clothed Taoist had already put the space into his eyebrows, and after that, the two brothers quickly disappeared in place.

This cosmic space was quiet again, countless galaxies kept rotating in the sky, brilliant and magical, no life could understand how all this was done, and who did it, all the galaxies were running according to certain laws.

I don't know how long time has passed, maybe billions of years, maybe just a moment, but one thing is for sure, time has been passing slowly.

In the space of the white-clothed Taoist, the boy and the crane, they opened their eyes, and what they saw was a magnificent huge waterfall, the waterfall rushed down, the sound was like thunder, surging roaring, stirring and tumbling, and the pearls splashed everywhere.

Directly below the waterfall is a large waterhole, the water is crystal clear, and the occasional fish swim at the bottom of the pool, which looks like a happy one.

Around the pond are valleys, the valleys are covered with lush forests, the trees look as if they have just been bathed in the sun, washing away the dust and troubles, and the birds in the forest sometimes happily shuttle in this green sea, chirping, and flying freely into the distance.

The grass on the ground spreads all over the mountain, and all kinds of beautiful flowers compete with each other, and the fragrance of flowers permeates the world, never stopping, and they become the simple and elegant embellishment of this valley. The soft petals are as flowing as feathers, and the buds next to them are ready to bloom, setting off the beautiful petals that have bloomed.

This person stood on the shore, still a little ignorant looking at all this in front of him, a little overwhelmed, just as they were standing there in a daze, a voice came from behind them.

They turned around and found a kind elder dressed in white and full of white hair, he looked at them with charitable eyes, and said slowly: "Life is precious, I have given you life, you will also become my disciples, live in this space with me, at the same time, I will also impart knowledge to you, so that you can slowly understand this universe..."

This person stood there respectfully, listening carefully to the speech of the old man in white, and they knew very well that the person standing in front of them was their creator.

When the white-clothed Taoist chief finished saying this, one person and one crane stepped forward and knelt on the ground, shouting: "Master is above, please accept the disciple's worship!" ”

The white-clothed Taoist leader smiled and helped them up, and said, "I'll name you now, your name is Xiaode, and if you are a crane, you will be called Xiaoyu!" ”

Xiao De and Xiao Yu heard that they already had names, and they jumped excitedly, innocent and innocent, which caused the white-clothed Taoist to also laugh heartily, and from then on, in this space, the three masters and apprentices lived together.

Xiao De and Xiao Yu live a carefree life every day, except for the necessary daily cultivation, they are laughing and playing together, and the time is slowly spent here unconsciously.

On this day, the white-clothed Taoist called Xiao De and Xiao Yu to his side, announced an important matter to them, and listened to the white-clothed Taoist chief say: "You two have also lived in this space for a while, and you are also very familiar with the situation in this space, and there will be a few very special guests coming to this canyon in a few days, you must not neglect those people, because they will all have great connections in the future..." Xiao Dexin said: What kind of character will make the master pay so much attention? It's a bit confusing.

Xiao De thought about it, and at the same time he didn't forget to glance at Xiao Yu beside him, at this time, Xiao Yu also glanced at him, and the doubts in his eyes were the same as Xiao De, but the master was talking, and they were just communicating with their eyes.

After the white-clothed Taoist chief explained some things, Xiao De was the first to speak, and he asked, "Master, what kind of existence are those guests?" Why do I feel a little mysterious? ”

At this time, the white-clothed Taoist leader put his hands behind his back, looked into the distance, and replied: "The existence of those people is to make some things happen smoothly, and they came here to promote an important thing. However, you just need to remember that these are all intentional arrangements, and you should not try to ask the truth from their mouths, because, when you meet these people, you will find that they have long forgotten what the purpose of their existence is, and for what purpose they came here, most of their memories have been washed away..."The appearance of the white-clothed Taoist at this time showed both melancholy and some expectation.

Xiao De and Xiao Yu glanced at each other, they didn't get an answer from the master's mouth, they lowered their heads a little interested, and they didn't ask any more. The white-clothed Taoist saw that the two of them looked a little lost, and laughed and said, "Although you didn't get an answer from me, you will meet with them, and this is also a great opportunity, and one day in the future, you will understand the meaning of what I said today." ”

As he was talking, the white-clothed Taoist chief was visibly stunned, and suddenly his expression became a little weird, and he muttered, "Huh? It's really strange that the time has not yet come, how can there be life to come here? ”

Xiao De and Xiao Yu looked at the master's strange expression, and they were also a little puzzled, but before they could ask, they heard the white-clothed Taoist chief say: "You guys go away first, I have some things to deal with immediately, I'll go to the canyon portal first, and I'll look for you later." With that, he disappeared where he was.

Xiao De and Xiao Yu glanced at each other, and then heard Xiao Yu say, "Xiao De, what is the urgency of the master?" I've never seen him like this before. ”

Xiao De nodded and said: "That is to say, Master is really in such a hurry, there must be something important happening, otherwise Master would not be like this." ”

Xiao Yu was a little mysterious, and said, "Why don't we secretly follow behind the master and see what he is so anxious about?" When Xiaode heard that he was going to eavesdrop, he was also excited, so this person secretly came to the portal of this space.

Xiao De and Xiao Yu were far away, and they heard the loud sound of the waterfall hitting the pool water, and they saw that the master was standing in front of the canyon portal, with his hands behind his back, and after a while, there was a violent fluctuation in the space in front of the white-clothed Taoist leader, and a gray-clothed Taoist walked out of the spatial fluctuation.

As soon as this Taoist appeared, he heard the white-clothed Taoist chief smile and said, "Senior brother, it turned out to be you, it's best to inform me in advance before coming next time, I'm still a little nervous, thinking that some people arranged by the 'Holy Lord' have come here!" ”

The person who appeared here was none other than the junior brother of the white-clothed Taoist, and he was a little anxious to the white-clothed Taoist as soon as he appeared, and said, "Senior brother, the plan has changed!" The black hands behind them have already begun to move, we have to be more careful, I came here this time to tell you that the 'Holy Lord' has reached the Netherworld, the new curtain has been opened, and the rest is up to us to cooperate with him to complete this matter. ”

When the white-clothed Taoist learned the news that the Holy Lord had left, his expression became obviously extremely serious, his brows were furrowed, he paced back and forth, thought for a while and said: "Senior brother, it seems that our time is also very short, and I don't think they dare to destroy this matter if those black hands want to destroy this matter, but they will arrange their people to achieve their goals, this Holy Lord has clearly informed me at the time of parting, let's mainly ensure that there are no major problems with that main line, I think that in the future, the Holy Lord will definitely have a way, and this is what the Holy Lord specially told me before. ”

The gray-clothed Taoist asked, "Senior brother, what should we do next?" Do you just sit back and wait? Waiting for those black hands to do something destructive? ”

The white-clothed Taoist said with a smile: "No, junior brother, you have to understand, that main line is something that no one dares to touch, those people can only start from some branch lines or places that are not related to the overall situation, now we are short of manpower, some of them are beyond our control, we can only protect some important branches, as for some other branches, we will give up first and make every effort to protect those important people, and this is the only way we can do at this stage." ”

The gray-clothed Taoist could only sigh and nod when he heard this, and said: "I really don't know, what those black hands think, a good thing, inexplicably made it like this!" ”

The white-clothed Taoist chief also lamented and said: "There is injustice in the heart, the most uncontrollable thing is this heart, they all want the best, this idea itself is not wrong, the mistake is that for this goal, he does not hesitate to sacrifice very important things, is it worth it?" But what can be done about it, one has such an idea, two have such an idea, when many people have this kind of thought, what will that look like? Ay! All we can do is to fully cooperate with the Lord's arrangement, and not to have selfish thoughts! Otherwise, we won't be able to explain to the Holy Lord in the future! ”

The gray-clothed Daoist also had a stunned expression, and did not continue, and their senior brothers stood there and looked at the distant sky together.

Xiao De and Xiao Yu, who were not far away, shrank their heads, and were seen by the white-clothed Taoist at a glance, and heard his majestic voice sound, "Xiao De! Xiao Yu! Come here, don't probe your brain there, I've already found you, why don't you come and see your uncle soon! ”

Xiao De and Xiao Yu stuck out their tongues, and the two of them turned out from behind a big stone, and respectfully came to the two of them, Xiao De and Xiao Yu knelt down in front of the gray-clothed Taoist, and said in unison: "Uncle Shi is above, Xiao De!" Xiao Yu! I'm a gift to you! ”

The gray-clothed Taoist looked at the two people kneeling in front of him, stepped forward to help them up, and said with a smile: "You two can still adapt to this space, your master has a lot of things, there are often only the two of you here, and sometimes you feel lonely and lonely, you also have to share more for your master, but all your efforts are also for one thing, if this thing is finally successful, you will also get the richest reward!" ”

Xiaode said respectfully: "Uncle, our life is given by the master, as for what return has never been thought of, as long as we can help the master, we will definitely complete it without hesitation, please rest assured uncle!" ”

The gray-clothed Taoist comforted and smiled: "Okay! That's right, I look forward to your growth, and I will always keep an eye on you! ”

After the gray-clothed Daoist finished speaking, he looked at the white-clothed Daoist and said, "Senior brother, I have other things to do, so I won't stay here for long, senior brother, we will have a date later!" Take care! As he spoke, he bowed to the white-clothed Taoist.

The white-clothed Taoist priest arched his hand and replied, "Senior brother, take care!" ”

The white-clothed Taoist leader watched his junior brother slowly disappear into this space, he lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then turned to Xiao De and Xiao Yu beside him, and said: "In a few days, there will be new guests here, you have to treat them well, whether you can have a good relationship with them depends on yourself, the future is in your own hands, you must grasp it well." ”

Xiao De and Xiao Yu nodded at the same time, of course they understood what the master meant by saying this to them, which can only show one point, that is, the background of these people is definitely not simple, otherwise the master would not say such a thing.

Three days passed quickly, and when Xiao De and Xiao Yu were still playing together on this day, they felt a wave of spatial fluctuations in the direction of the canyon waterhole, and they didn't know what was going on, so they quickly rushed to the waterhole and found that their master was talking to a soul body,

The soul body that was talking to their master was a man, his dress looked very ordinary, only a few simple cloths surrounded his body, this soul body looked around in confusion, looking at everything in front of him and not knowing what he was thinking.

I heard the white-clothed Taoist chief say to the soul body: "You will perform a legendary life in the future, and at the same time, you are also shouldering an important task, which is to be responsible for inheriting the Chinese civilization, you will lead a tribe this time and make efforts for the continuation of the Chinese civilization, I look forward to your successful completion of this task, go!" As he spoke, the white-clothed Daoist waved his hand, and the soul body had been sent out of this space, and I don't know where it was delivered.

When the soul body was sent away, Xiao De and Xiao Yu walked over, and Xiao Yu said to the master, "Master, who was that soul body just now?" What kind of Chinese civilization does he want to inherit, and what kind of civilization is that China? ”

The white-clothed Taoist said with a smile: "This is the first guest of our space, and it is also the most important guest, he has a very important mission to complete, the most important of which is the inheritance of this Chinese civilization, because whether this civilization can be continued or not is related to many things in the future." So, there can't be any surprises. To put it simply, this Chinese civilization is a kind of culture, which includes many connotations such as Zhou Yi, Bagua, Hetu, Luoshu, Lile, Danshu, Qimen Dunjia, etc., and his mission is to protect these cultures and inherit them in the new world, so that this civilization can continue. ”

Xiao De also interjected at this time, and said, "Master, it sounds like this task is still very arduous, what will be the result if that soul body can't complete this matter just now?" ”

Hearing this, the white-clothed Daoist said with a somewhat serious expression: "If it can't be completed, then it can only be reversed and restarted, because this civilization is related to many things that the future saint will do, and there is absolutely no room for any mistakes!" ”

Seeing Master's expression and serious tone, Xiao De and Xiao Yu thought to themselves in their hearts, and at the same time, they kept wishing that soul body to successfully complete his mission.

From this day on, this space suddenly seemed to become very lively, from time to time there will be a soul body in the canyon, including a man and a woman, Xiao De and Xiao Yu observed that the soul body that came here, they all play different roles in the world, and they are jointly promoting the development of the whole history, they play the role of robbers, people, kings, ministers, and merchants, among which the roles are tragedy, comedy, some can sing and cry, and some are heartfelt.

Xiao De and Xiao Yu are sometimes attracted by the lives performed by these soul bodies, they are in this space, while cultivating, observing everything that everyone deduces, and unconsciously, they are also attracted by the appearance of the beings inside. Sometimes when Xiaode and Xiaoyu wake up, they will see that there are different storylines unfolded, which really dazzles them...

A long, long dream, and now it's really beginning.
