Jiang Wang had guessed that Chaos wanted to break the bonds, but the bonds he understood were obviously not exactly the same as the bonds Wang Changji understood.
The entire mountain and sea realm is just a creation of fantasy.
This is undoubtedly a ridiculous description.
The floating mountains, the blue sea, the high sky filled with clouds and mist, the indescribable strange beasts and gods, and even the tilt of the sky at this moment, the way the heaven and earth collapsed at this moment.
Which bit is not true, which bit is unrealistic, which bit is not specific?
But Wang Changji never seemed to be joking, and he was not a person who liked to joke.
His acumen, his insights, and his level have been demonstrated very clearly.
"There is one thing I don't understand." Zuo Guangshu said: "If the mountain and sea realm is really as you said, it is a world that only exists in fantasy. What Chaos can know, Zhu Jiuyin cannot not know. Chaos wants to be unreal. And the boundary between reality and reality, doesn’t Zhu Jiuyin want to become ‘real’? Then why does it want to stop chaos and maintain order in the mountains and seas so resolutely?”
Fang Heling, who had been silent all this time, said at this time: "Perhaps Zhu Jiuyin is the puppet left behind by Huang Weizhen, or even the incarnation of Huang Weizhen! Only in this way can we explain why it maintains the order of this world in this way."
Compared to others, he definitely supported Wang Changji's statement without reservation. Even if you don't believe it, you will find reasons to believe it. There are no principles, only attitudes.
"Huang Weizhen definitely died that year." Zuo Guangshu said: "There is no doubt about this. How many pairs of eyes did his life and death affect? There are so many strong men in Da Chu and so many strong men in the world. It is impossible for all of them to make wrong judgments. So. No incarnation or consciousness can still exist. At most, his will is still being carried out.
Speaking of puppets...Chaos is already close to the Dongzhen level, and Zhu Jiuyin is only stronger than weak. Is there such a powerful puppet in the world? Even after the death of the master, he can still show wisdom to fight against chaos and participate in the fight for the world of mountains and seas? You know, Chaos even deceived Brother Jiang, but was suppressed and suffered in the Withered South Abyss. "
This example made Jiang Wang really unconvinced, so he could only listen to it expressionlessly.
Yuetian Nu didn’t have any taboos about being a puppet, and said directly: “As we all know, the most powerful puppets in Momen are those up to the level of Shenlin. The puppet creations they sell to the outside world are only in the outer building and below. .
But of course Momen is not willing to stop there.
They have a related attempt, a project called 'Qishen'. This plan mobilized all the power of Mo Sect and consumed countless resources. It is said that even two or three True Lords could not consume so many resources. The final result was only three real-person level puppets, and their combat power was far inferior to those of real people in the same realm. Therefore this plan has been shelved.
Even if Huang Weizhen is a scholar of heaven, I don't think he can come close to the level of Momen in terms of puppet creation. So I think Zhu Jiuyin cannot be a puppet. "
Jiang Wang thought about the real blood puppet Song Wanxi who was still floating in the tomb of the world. That might be the exception Yue Tiannu said.
However, Song Wanxi has a demon body that has been raised for hundreds of years, and she has the appearance of a true demon. Coupled with the power of Song Hengjiang's soul, the real blood demon was made into a real-person level, but it was different from the puppets created by Momen.
A real demon plus a god who is infinitely close to a real person, and replacing it with a puppet whose combat power is far inferior to that of a real person in the same realm is certainly not cost-effective, and it may not be possible to exchange it.
More importantly, this is a taboo violation. If word spreads, you will be despised by the world and become the enemy of the whole world.
Wang Changji said calmly: "If the Mountain and Sea Realm wants to be close to a real world and move from fantasy to reality, there cannot be any puppets. The existence that affects the operation of the world in this world must have its own thoughts and be independent. The will of Zhu Jiuyin. Otherwise, what is false will always be false, and fantasy will always remain stagnant in fantasy. Therefore, Zhu Jiuyin must not be a puppet... It is precisely because of this that there is chaos rebellion."
Fang Heling was completely convinced. Yes, if Huang Wei's true will still exists here, how can Chaos be able to stir up any trouble?
Of course, even if Wang Changji didn't say anything, he would still be convinced.
"I think it's because..." Jiang Wang said: "If you want to make virtual reality come true, there is another option - the entire mountain and sea realm completely evolves into reality."
Since the mountain and sea realm has evolved from fantasy to what it is now, it is infinitely close to reality. Then when it fully evolves into reality, everything will be different.
If the Mountain and Sea Realm is a real world, then of course Zhu Jiuyin is also the real Zhu Jiuyin.
Even as a being that controls the order of this world, it naturally understands the reality of the world, and it is no problem to climb into the cave.
Wang Changji nodded and agreed.
In this way, everything has a reasonable explanation.
As beings with independent will and free souls, and one of the two most powerful beings in the mountain and sea realm, both Chaos and Zhu Jiuyin want to break the current boundaries and achieve Dongzhen.
But their choices are different.
Chaos wants to directly break the shackles of the mountains and seas, and virtual reality becomes reality. This is undoubtedly a very risky choice, and at the same time it is shaking the foundation of Shanhai Realm's existence, and it is also destroying the foundation of Zhu Jiuyin.
As the maintainer of order in the mountain and sea realm, Zhu Jiuyin only needs to wait until the day when the mountain and sea realm evolves into reality, and it will naturally become "true". Although I don’t know how long it will take for that day, and although I have been waiting for at least nine hundred years, this choice is undoubtedly the safest. At the same time, he is undoubtedly on the opposite side of chaos.
That's why they fight.
It is a conflict between Tao and Tao, which can never be reconciled.
"Then..." There was a slight tremor in Zuo Guangshu's voice. It was not fear, but an indescribable... uneasiness.
"Where's Huang Weizhen?" he asked.
A fantasy world evolved into what it is today.
Chaos and Zhu Jiuyin in the fantasy world must break through the fantasy and chase the truth.
What about Huang Weizhen?
Where is Huang Weizhen who left all this behind?
How many idols of the Chu people.
How many legendary figures have been left behind.
Huang Weizhen, who is known as "the most romantic person in three thousand years", what is his purpose in creating such a world?
Such a world has far exceeded the meaning of putting Chu Tianjiao to trial!
Wang Changji did not answer this question directly, but first asked: "What are the nine categories of Phoenix?"
Zuo Guangshu said: "Feng, 铓鵵, luan, 鸑鸟, swan, jade bird, Jiaxuan, Kongyuan, Lianhong."
"We all know the five types of phoenix: phoenix, 铓鶵, luan, 鸸鸳, and swan. There are countless records to verify it, and many people have even seen it in person. But Feique, Jiaxuan, Kongyuan, and Lian Rainbow, these four kinds of phoenixes, has anyone heard of or seen them in this world? We all know that this world is vast and there are endless unknowns. We all need to continue to grow, expand our horizons, and supplement our knowledge. But if there is a phoenix Why are the nine categories known to no one in ancient and modern times, and are they only found in mountains and seas?"
Wang Changji said slowly: "They are different from Kui Niu and Fu Dou, which can verify the existence of legends. The importance of the Chapter of Nine Phoenixes made me think that these four kinds of phoenixes are the complete and true creations of Huang Wei. Just imagine , if they all evolve into reality, the five categories of phoenixes will truly become nine categories. The legends of the mountain and sea realm will replace the legends of the real world. What is true and what is false?"
"For the Mountain and Sea Realm to evolve into reality, it requires not only efforts in this life, but also efforts in this world. Of course, I believe that Huang Weizhen must have made arrangements..."
"When the entire mountain and sea realm completely evolves into the real world. What do you think will happen?"
Jiang Wang and others looked at each other.
And Wang Changji gave the answer himself in an admiring tone——
"Of course Zhu Jiuyin can understand the truth. Of course everything in the mountains and seas is real."
"The mountains here are mountains, the sea is the sea, and the clouds are clouds. You can fly when you should, and you can swim when you should swim. All things rotate, and sentient beings are endless from generation to generation."
"Then what about Huang Weizhen, who created all this?"
"He will return from his fantasy... and achieve a state above that of the True King!"
"This is the power of virtual reality, and this is the basis for Huang Weizhen to transcend the extraordinary peak."
"This is his supreme path!"
Wang Changji really admired and admired him from the bottom of his heart.
As a person who has played chess with God all year round, his vision is too lofty and broad, and he rarely has such emotions.
It is true that he participated in fishing in the mountains and seas, fought for the slightest rights, and was able to catch a glimpse of the truth. But the more you learn about it, the more you realize how grand it is.
Only when you go deep into the vast sea can you see the wild waves.
Use the virtual reality of an entire mountain and sea realm to push yourself beyond the peak.
This is such a great layout!
Jiang Wang was stunned.
Fang Heling was stunned.
Even Yue Tiannu was distracted for a moment.
"Huang Weizhen was already dead back then." Zuo Guangshu murmured, "So many people can prove that he can't still be alive."
"He did indeed die back then. He died with a cultivation level that stood at the end of the path of evolution."
Wang Changji said: "But he is still alive."
"More than nine hundred years have passed, has the world ever forgotten the name of Huang Weizhen? Has the long time washed away his traces?
The most popular person in three thousand years, Zen Master Zhaowu returned as soon as he saw him... These legends are still being passed down.
The Yanfa Pavilion he left behind will influence Chu State for at least an era.
How did he ever die?
As long as one person still remembers him, he can still come back.
From people's memories, from people's nostalgia, from that illusory fantasy... return.
I also have trouble understanding that kind of greatness.
But this is what I glimpsed when I was fishing.
I think this is his power, this is his way to transcend the extreme. "
As long as someone remembers it, can they still come back?
Jiang Wang felt as if he was listening to a myth, it was too incredible and unimaginable.
But as extraordinary monks climb higher step by step, aren't they turning imagination into reality, turning myth into history, and making the impossible possible?
"So Huang Weizhen's death that year was actually just a plan. Was he to die to escape and avoid the attention of the world, in order to achieve a realm above the true king?" Zuo Guangshu asked.
Wang Changji looked at him and said: "I should ask you what is the truth about Huang Weizhen's death that year. After all, the Zuo family is a thousand-year-old family in Chu land, and I am just a traveler who saw some traces of time in the mountains and seas. .”
Traces of time, travelers.
Yue Tiannu inexplicably felt that these two words had a very special splendor, just like the person Wang Changji.
"I don't know." Zuo Guangshu shook his head: "I will ask my grandfather when I leave the mountain and sea realm."
No matter how difficult the question, no matter how old the secret, no matter how hidden the story...he just had to ask his grandfather.
Fang Heling was envious, but there was nothing in his eyes.
Wang Changji continued: "I don't know what happened back then, and I don't know how Huang Weizhen died. Even my understanding of Huang Weizhen was completely based on hearing. Before entering the mountain and sea realm, I found a way to find out about it temporarily. . The conjecture about him is only deduced from everything that happened in the mountain and sea realm, and it is just to capture the real information in this world...
But everything that has happened in this world, everything that is happening now, and everything that will happen in the future is already so clear and arranged in front of our eyes. They all prove my conjecture and tell me a definite answer. I don't think there is any other explanation other than this. "
Jiang Wang thought to himself, is everything happening in this world clear? Looking around, across the mountains, across the sea, across the sky, hurricanes and thunder... where is it clear?
But from the perspective of rules, the vision is obviously different.
He has undoubtedly been convinced by Wang Changji and tried to understand Wang Changji's thinking.
Zuo Guangshu asked again at this time: "If it is said that the world of mountains and seas really hides Huang Weizhen's path to transcendence. If it is said that when the mountains and seas evolve into reality, Huang Weizhen can successfully return from the fantasy. Then he Why don’t you just evolve quietly behind closed doors? Why do you want to conduct some kind of trial for the great Chu Tianjiao? Why do you risk being discovered and interfered with?”
"Because it's not real enough." Jiang Wang sighed and said, "The fantasy world of the Mountain and Sea Realm was not supported by Huang Weizhen alone. It was the daydreams and speculations of countless people in the world for more than nine hundred years. According to the records in "The Chronicles of Mountains and Seas and Strange Beasts", it was realized step by step in the trials of the geniuses of the Chu Kingdom in the past dynasties."
Why is it that over the past nine hundred years, there have been so many geniuses who have entered the realm of mountains and seas, but they all seem to see things differently, and no one can say that this world is complete? Because it is constantly expanding, constantly enriching, and constantly opening up.
The first group of people to enter the mountain and sea realm may only encounter three or five floating mountains, and maybe seven or eight sea areas...
And now, how many miles from south to north?
They had to go through the Road of God's Descendance before heading to the Abyss.
Mountains and seas are not achieved in a day, and all fantasies have traces to follow.
Yue Tiannu added: "Those who hold the Nine-Chapter Jade Bi enter the realm of mountains and seas, representing the 'God's Will' of this world, and gain harvest through various tests. At the same time, what they bring is the real and fresh breath of the world, which is the ideal for people in this world." Regarding the fantasy supplement of the Mountain and Sea Realm. Master Zuo, have you ever thought about why everyone who died in the Mountain and Sea Realm had 30% of their soul origin cut off?"
Zuo Guangshu was stunned.
Yue Tiannu continued: "Because the Mountain and Sea Realm needs these real soul powers, these talented people who are favored by this world, and this power needs to be used to make the Mountain and Sea Realm more vivid and closer to reality."
"Moreover, think about the limitations of entering the mountain and sea realm, and the limitations of cultivation. Huang Weizhen actually does not take risks. Because basically there is no being who can see through the essence of this world with the cultivation of outer buildings."
She looked at Wang Changji again: "Except for this donor."
Wang Changji said nothing.
"Is this... Huang Weizhen?" Zuo Guangshu said, suddenly grinning.
He was disappointed.
Very disappointed.
There is a broken feeling that the idol in your heart has collapsed.
Huang Weizhen was the idol of many Chu people, and Zuo Guangshu was among his admirers.
The most popular flag in the past three thousand years is a flag that has been flying in Chu land for thousands of years!
Even an arrogant person like Xiang Bei said he wished he had been born nine hundred years earlier so that he could not meet Huang Weizhen.
But what is this person doing?
Under the guise of trials and in the name of cultivating talents for Da Chu, he secretly harvested the soul power of Da Chu's geniuses to supplement the deficiencies in the mountain and sea realm and achieve his own path to transcendence!
Even if such a person is powerful, can he be called great?
"Using Chu Land's future to fill his own future?" Zuo Guangshu's question was full of anger.
Even in this mountain and sea environment, there is no concealment.
As a Chu native and as an admirer of later generations, he certainly had reasons to be angry.
There is even a sense of indignation at being deceived.
He had placed his hope in such a bright flag, but there was a shadow behind the flag fluttering in the wind.
How could this not disappoint the young man?
Jiang Wang could understand Zuo Guangshu's feelings at this moment.
But he just said: "Guang Shu, that's not how things work out. Are you disappointed in Huang Weizhen, or are you disappointed in the Huang Weizhen you imagined?
What kind of person do you think Huang Weizhen should be? Should he always be selfless in order to be worthy of his greatness? Does he have to burn himself to death and not get any benefits in order to be worthy of his reputation?
He must be able to make no mistakes or have any flaws. He must be perfect so that he can judge traitors and set an example?
If you can calm down and re-examine the mountains and seas.
You will find that this is actually a very fair deal.
I am going through the entire trial journey of the mountains and seas with you.
The 30% of the soul's origin that was cut off was real, but the gains that the trial could take away were also real. He has indeed left his legacy in this world, and the trials in the mountain and sea realm are indeed very effective.
After numerous trials in the mountains and seas, the gains always outweigh the losses. Otherwise, there wouldn’t be so many people flocking to it every time it is opened. Otherwise you wouldn't invite me, right?
Huang Weizhen did not have ulterior motives to harvest anyone. He established fair rules and spared no effort to maintain fairness.
You said that he 'filled his own future with the future of Chu Land'. I think this assessment is unfair.
What I see is that after more than nine hundred years of evolution, Shanhai Realm is still helping Chu Land cultivate talents.
Being able to rely on the arrangements made more than 900 years ago to benefit both the participants in the Mountain and Sea Realm and himself, and achieve a win-win result for all parties, I think this is exactly what is remarkable about Huang Weizhen. "
Zuo Guangshu was silent for a moment.
Wang Changji also said: "That's true. The rewards given by the mountains and seas must be real. The reason why I was able to create a real Kui Niu was because I borrowed this rule from the mountains and seas. In fact, it cost a lot of money. The power of the world has greatly slowed down the process of the mountain and sea realm evolving into reality.”
Jiang Wang looked at this handsome young man and said, "I don't deny that there are such selfless people, but we shouldn't expect everyone to be like that.
What does a normal world look like?
Scholars want fame, farmers want abundant food, workers want treasures, businessmen want wealth... Practitioners want to reach the top, want to go beyond that top!
It is precisely because everyone living in the world has their own desires and wants that the world can keep moving forward.
You want something, and I want something too. As long as it doesn’t harm innocent people or harm others, what’s the problem?
The rules set by Huang Weizhen are fair, so he should not be blamed for it.
In fact, even I, a foreigner, know Huang Weizhen. He is great enough just by acting in the pavilion, isn't he? The state of Chu's magic is the best in the world. What a great contribution this is. You must know more about his achievements than I do. Why are you so demanding of him? "
Zuo Guangshu lowered his head slightly, feeling a little lost and confused: "I don't know..."
"Because the Huang Weizhen you remember is the Huang Weizhen you imagined. The Huang Weizhen you worship is the Huang Weizhen who was made into a statue, not the real Huang Weizhen.
What reality teaches us is that your imagination can never completely match reality.
It's never accurate, there's always a gap.
How can there be such a thing as perfect?
Using the mold of your imagination to try to fit anyone or anything in this world will always result in disappointment. "
Jiang Wang reached out and patted his shoulder: "Guangshu, if one day you only remember me as you imagined, and you only want to remember me as you imagined, then I will also let you down."
He thought inexplicably.
Although I have come all this way, I still have a clear conscience. He never bullies innocents, never harms civilians, and always sticks to his beliefs within the sword's reach.
In order to save his friends, he went to the sea and died in the lost world, suffering hundreds of wounds.
He tried to kill Wang Yiwu for Chongxuan Sheng and faced Jiang Mengxiong.
In order to give an explanation to Lin Youxie, Yang Jing, and the dead Ulie Gongsun Yu, they walked on the tip of the knife, giving up the powerful officials and the favor of the emperor at their fingertips... and delved into the abyss.
Only the broken ears and stumps can leave a name in history.
The Wufu Sea was penetrated, just because he refused to fall into the devil.
One day the world will talk about me.
Maybe he is just a bully and a clever talker.
Because if Emperor Qi kills innocent people, I may not dare to speak out every time.
Because it is impossible for me to make no mistakes in my life.
Even if I give up my life and become gray haired, I can save my sister. I beg everywhere, but I can't find any reinforcements. Frustrated, he left his hometown. Maybe some people will also accuse me of being a coward for abandoning my hometown and running away from the battlefield.
Who can know your whole picture and who can refrain from making unreasonable comments?
Huang Weizhen is like this, Guang Shu is such a good person... How can I, Jiang Wang, be an exception?
So, is the persistence that has always been meaningful?
In life, what path do you take, and why do you do it?
Jiang Wang fell silent.
Then he saw...
He saw Zuo Guangshu's beautiful eyes and looked at him brightly: "Brother is right. It's not that Huang Weizhen is not great enough. It's that I carved the statue in my heart too perfectly. I'm not disappointed with Huang Weizhen, I am just disappointed with the Huang Weizhen I imagined. I sincerely feel my own shallowness, and hope to look at the world more carefully in the future."
"But, brother..."
"It's not a terrible thing to be disappointed in you."
"I have been disappointed many times..."
The young man raised his fingers and counted them one by one: "You said you wanted to take me across the mountains and seas, and then we kept being swept away."
"You said you were going to Withernan Abyss to find the truth about the world, and then we were deceived by Chaos..."
"so!"
Zuo Guangshu clapped his hands, clasped his hands together, and made a requesting gesture: "Please don't put any more burdens on yourself, don't take on too many responsibilities, don't be afraid of disappointing people... You have your own life, you have your own independence." Your own happiness! Make the choice that makes you feel comfortable, do what you think is right, please!"
