"Between heaven and earth, truth is the greatest..."
Duan Zhen looked far away into the depths of the Western Mountain, and saw the young Hong Yi talking solemnly to the demon fairy Bai Ziyue, and even the few snow-white foxes surrounding him, and couldn't help but smile.
The stories he had read in the past were being narrated now. Such a scene made him feel quite emotional at the moment.
After coming to the world of Yangshen for more than 300 years, he established a net for thousands of sentient beings, condensed all dharma and thoughts for the Great Evil King, and established the third seal of the Primordial Seal. His cultivation level was promoted from Zhou Tianba to the Three Thousand Tribulation Realm, even with the Great Emperor of Immortality. If you have to give in, you can be said to be invincible in this world.
But when I look back, I feel as if I have heard Hong Yi's words of establishing the path and establishing the heart.
For a moment, he stood outside Xishan, watching Hong Yi holding a book and talking to the monsters.
"Good wine! Good wine! Good wine comes from our hands! After drinking our wine, one person dares to kill mussels! After drinking our wine, he will not kowtow before the emperor!"
In the sight, the demon fairy Bai Ziyue was touched by Hong Yi's words and couldn't help but drink wine and sing, his voice was bold and enthusiastic.
The young man Hong Yi also smiled, took the other party's century-old wine, and drank lightly.
Hoo ho ho!
This exotic and fragrant fruit wine is extremely sweet and mellow in the mouth. It seems to be blended with dozens or hundreds of rare things in the world. In addition, it has been accumulated for hundreds of years. As soon as it is taken in, Hong Yi feels that his internal organs are filled with wisps of warmth, and his whole body The pores suddenly began to vibrate on their own.
He didn't see any movement, but the power of the wine, which was far beyond the endurance of the muscular warrior, disappeared in the subtle ends.
Boom, boom, boom!
What followed was his increasingly strong heartbeat.
"It's really a good wine!"
In a moment, Hong Yi digested the strong alcohol that entered his throat and started to praise him.
But the demon fairy Bai Ziyue in white clothes on the side looked strange.
As the body of a ghost and immortal, his cultivation level is naturally much higher than that of Hong Yi today, and he can easily see the strange changes in the opponent's body at a glance.
That sip of century-old fruit wine, an ordinary innate martial artist needs to circulate his qi and blood to digest it safely, otherwise he would have to get drunk on a few sticks of incense. How could the young master in the Wenwu Hou Mansion in front of him be able to relieve his hangover so quickly?
"My little brother's drinking capacity is amazing, and his martial arts skills are also strange. I wonder what kind of skills he has achieved?"
Bai Ziyue had doubts, so he asked directly.
He is a reincarnated demon fairy, but his temperament is the same as in the previous life. He is straightforward and straightforward, and he speaks when he has something to say.
"Brother Bai, thank you. I rarely drank alcohol before. I just took advantage of the technique."
Hong Yi smiled and shook his head and continued:
"This Dharma door comes from the net of sentient beings and receives the grace of the Taoist master to teach the Dharma. It is naturally wonderful. Although the century-old fruit wine is mellow, it is not a serious problem."
He also told the origin of his method very frankly, without hiding it at all.
In today's world, as long as all living beings fall into dreams, they can see the appearance of the Taoist master, and if they are subjected to his coercion and torture, they can obtain a method.
This is no secret.
Coupled with the conversation with this rumored demon fairy, Hong Yi also greatly admired the other person's carefree and carefree temperament. The two of them seemed to have hit it off, and he naturally would not hide it.
"It turns out to be the Tao Master's method. No wonder my little brother is young and his muscles and bones are about to reach perfection. I guess he must have a strong will and have mastered a martial arts-level method."
Bai Ziyue smiled when he heard this. He knew that ordinary methods could not resolve the power of alcohol. Judging from Hong Yi's level of cultivation, he would have to have at least one skill above that of a Martial Saint to be able to do so.
Since Duan Zhen established the Net of All Living Beings more than three hundred years ago, he has divided the exercises into six levels.
Skin, flesh, muscles, bones, and blood marrow are the first three layers. These methods are obtained by all living beings who endure the pressure in dreams.
Similar to the Tiger Demon's Powerful Fist, the Ox Demon's Body Refining Fist, the Jiao Demon's Sea-Converting Fist, etc.
The fourth level is the Martial Saint level, where the Twelve Xuanyin Swords obtained by Ru Meng Bingyun are located.
The fifth level is the Immortal level, which is basically some secrets from the six holy places in the world, such as the seventy-two unique skills of the Great Zen Temple, the One Hundred and Eight Arhat Array, the Dark Scripture of the Xuantian Pavilion, and the blood of the Jingyuan Temple. Killing Holy Shield Technique, Yuan Tao Shinto Yin Yang Mixed Cave Technique, etc.
And some self-created methods by strong casual cultivators from all walks of life, if practiced consistently, can firmly establish themselves at the human-immortal level, and will even become stronger and stronger as the opponent's cultivation level increases.
The most obvious one is Hong Xuanji's wheel of life and death.
The sixth level is the methods that only exist in legends, such as the Five Steles of Immortality, the Three Taishang Swords, the Three Swords of Panhuang, the Three Sutras of Great Zen, and some ancient Yang Shen techniques that have disappeared from the world.
There is no doubt that this is the method of Yang Shen level.
In today's world, only one person from a thousand miles can obtain the martial arts level. As for Hong Yi's technique, Bai Ziyue felt that it was close to the peak of the martial arts after just a cursory look at it.
"Martial Saint level?"
But after listening to Bai Ziyue's speculation, Hong Yi suddenly froze.
He hesitated for a while, then gradually nodded, seemingly acknowledging the other party's guess.
Seeing this, Bai Ziyue patted his shoulder generously and continued:
"Although my little brother has acquired martial arts skills at the martial saint level, he is already far ahead of his peers by an unknown amount, but remember not to slack off. You must know that the path of cultivation is full of dangers at every step. Obtaining the skills is only the first step. The rest of the journey ultimately depends on yourself! "
"Thank you, Brother Bai, for the tip. I understand."
Seeing Bai Ziyue's persuasion to him, Hong Yi felt warm in his heart and said nothing more.
Moreover, what the other party said at this moment was extremely certain, and it was difficult for him to explain clearly.
"The Seal of Xuanyuan Living Beings was personally passed down by the Taoist master. It can't be described as just a Martial Saint-level method? But Brother Bai is on the rise. As the saying goes, a gentleman does not lose face. I'd better wait until I have the opportunity to tell him..."
Hong Yi thought silently in his heart, and immediately drank fine wine with Bai Ziyue, which finally revealed the matter.
The aroma of alcohol spread for miles, already intoxicating the few snow-white foxes around them, and the white snow outside the cave gradually stopped.
The wind and snow suddenly stopped, and I came looking for a quiet place.
Da da da.
At this moment, Hong Yi and Bai Ziyue felt something in their hearts at the same time.
They heard the sound of steady footsteps and the sound of feet touching the snow.
"who?"
Bai Ziyue shouted softly on the spot and looked outside suddenly.
In today's world, someone could actually come within ten feet of him silently?
Come on, could it be a human immortal?
Da da da.
But his loud roar did not stir up even the slightest sound of wind. Instead, the footsteps walking into the snow got closer and closer.
"How brave!"
Bai Ziyue saw that the surrounding environment had obviously undergone extraordinary changes, and the appearance of many enemies flashed through his mind.
This time he entered Zhongzhou and came to the depths of the Western Mountains to meet someone.
But I never expected to see Hong Yi, this outstanding young man, and the people waiting for him hadn't arrived yet, so he couldn't help but be delayed for a while.
Who will come here at this time?
Could it be that Wen Wuhou from Hong Mansion?
Thinking of this, Bai Ziyue stared at the entrance of the cave, but did not look back at Hong Yi. He just turned his back and said:
"Little brother Hong, we demon immortals never stick to secular etiquette, and we don't care about the relationship between father and son. You don't have to worry! I am on good terms with you and have nothing to do with your father Hong Xuanji! If he wants to blame You have to pass my test first!"
Of course Bai Ziyue knew that Hong Yi was Hong Xuanji's son, but at this moment, he thought it was Hong Xuanji who came to Xishan, so he took the lead in explaining it.
It has to be said that these reincarnated demons and immortals are indeed free-spirited and naturally free, even more so than human ghosts and immortals.
Unfortunately, Bai Ziyue's words of comfort did not receive any response from Hong Yi.
"Um?"
At this moment, Bai Ziyue finally felt something was wrong and couldn't help but look back.
I saw that Hong Yi, who had been drinking and chatting with him, was falling into an inexplicable sluggishness.
It seemed that the other party had noticed something.
Immediately afterwards, Bai Ziyue heard a clear and peaceful voice, but it seemed to carry all the power of all things in the world, and suddenly rose:
"Can you give me a drink of this jug of good wine?"
Tear!
Bai Ziyue felt that the surrounding vision suddenly blurred and dispersed, as if there was a unique breath coming from the endless sky, falling into the vast world, and spreading down the stars.
And the world he usually knew changed from the beginning to the end the moment these words came up.
It seemed to be another vast, vast, great consciousness with no beginning, crashing down, completely replacing the original consciousness of this world!
Replace Heaven's heart with your own heart, and control all thoughts with one thought!
The web of all beings!
At this moment, Bai Ziyue seemed to see the web of living beings that he could see every day in his dreams, transforming into a human form and walking behind him!
"you you…"
He turned around with difficulty, and the arrogance that he usually boasted about seeing through illusions and seeing through everything in the world was gone at this moment.
The person in front of him was extremely unfamiliar to him. At least since his practice, he had no real interaction with him.
But this strange person also made him very familiar. He was so familiar with him that he had been coerced and tortured by him, and he had learned a skill.
"...Tao...Tao Master?"
Bai Ziyue's eyes widened and he raised his fingers slightly, as if he couldn't believe what he was seeing.
But the irresistible and unstoppable coercion deep in his thoughts was rushing in from beginning to end, like the wind sweeping across the earth.
No one in heaven or on earth dares to pretend to be a Taoist master, and no one can imitate the power of the net of all beings.
So, is the person in front of me really the Taoist Master?
"Good wine."
At this moment, the other party had already picked up the wine bag and took a sip.
clang!
The wood-green bag was gently placed on the countertop, but there was a loud vibration, like a twilight drum and a morning bell. It not only woke up Bai Ziyue, who was still in a state of confusion, but also woke up Hong Yi, who was deep in a daze.
At this moment, the two of them looked at each other suddenly, then looked at the man sitting alone, and bowed solemnly:
"I've met the Taoist Master!"
"I've met the Taoist Master!"
This man is really a Taoist master!
This was the decision that Hong Yi and Bai Ziyue came to when their eyes met.
Except for the head without horns, the rest of his appearance looks exactly the same.
And while walking, the vast divine power of the net of living beings is actually manifested.
Even the flow of power that was exactly the same as when they were subjected to majestic torture made them completely believe that this was the Taoist Master!
Three hundred years later, the Supreme Being has entered the human world!
Unexpectedly, the two of them would have such an adventure deep in the Western Mountains!
"Between heaven and earth, truth is the greatest. Is this what you said?"
Duan Zhen, who sat down casually, nodded slightly and received a bow from the two of them.
These two people, as well as most sentient beings in the world today, have received the grace of his teaching of the Dharma, and they must bow when they meet.
Besides, there was no difference in his eyes between Hong Yi and Bai Ziyue.
Whether he was the son of destiny or an evil star fell from the sky, he had long ago not cared about it.
If he wasn't the protagonist of this world, and there was a guess that needed to be verified, he wouldn't come here to meet Hong Yi specifically.
"...Tao Master...this is indeed what I said."
When Hong Yi saw Duan Zhen's true appearance, the Xuanyuan Seal of Beings circulating in his body suddenly became intense, as if it was spinning thousands of times in an instant, making his eyes feel dizzy.
It can be seen that when the Taoist master asked a question, he did not tolerate any slack and answered quickly.
"What is truth?"
When Duan Zhen heard this, he nodded without comment.
"In today's world, all enlightened people agree and follow from the bottom of their hearts. This is the truth."
Hong Yi didn't think about it this time, but spoke without thinking.
When he had a chat with Bai Ziyue before, he had already made a conclusion. Moreover, these were his words to establish his Taoism and establish his heart. Even if the Taoist master was in person, he could say it out loud.
"What does it mean to be an enlightened person?"
The next moment he answered, he heard Duan Zhen speak immediately. Both his tone and momentum were much higher than before.
Hong Yi seemed to have seen a bright sword light piercing the depths of his soul, falling towards him, and there was no way to avoid it.
At the critical moment, he suddenly activated the Xuanyuan Seal of Living Beings, his fingers formed complicated and inexplicable shapes, and the pores all over his body suddenly trembled:
"...understand good and evil...observe etiquette and law, know ethics..."
All living beings were sealed together, and Hong Yi felt that under this huge pressure, his thoughts were clearer than ever before. It was as if the blood in his internal organs began to rush into the center of his eyebrows, and his thoughts continued to spread:
"...Strictly virtuous! Establish your true heart! That is enlightenment!"
Under this kind of pressure like a mountain falling apart, he suddenly had a clear idea and roared out.
"How to do it?"
Immediately following, Duan Zhen's voice increased again, and his power rose again.
This time, Hong Yi seemed to see an ocean of nothingness, flowing from the beginning of time, through the ages, and across the past and present.
That sea seems to be a sea of suffering in myths and legends, where it is difficult for all living beings to cross, for the sun god to cross, and for no one to cross.
"this…"
The moment he saw the sea of suffering, Hong Yi squeezed his fingers tightly on the Seal of All Beings, suddenly trembled, and immediately, the Seal disappeared.
Boom boom boom!
He took two steps back, the blood on his face seemed to be drained instantly, and his breath was extremely weak.
"Brother Hong!"
Bai Ziyue on the side saw this scene and was about to reach out to help him, but found that Hong Yi waved his hands repeatedly, indicating that it was okay.
Duan Zhen just looked at him with a trace of elegance in his eyes.
Although his question was ordinary, to Hong Yi, he vaguely heard a layer of ultimate torture involving the deepest part of spiritual practice.
How to make people enlightened?
This question... Hong Yi seemed to have thought of many things for a while, and coupled with the endless waves of the ocean that he had just glimpsed, a flash of lightning suddenly flashed in his mind, as if he understood something!
"…I do not know I do not know…"
Hong Yi's face turned pale again, and he murmured unconsciously.
At this moment, he actually understood Duan Zhen's torture to him.
This series of questions deduces an answer to the end of the road in this world.
How to help all sentient beings cross the sea of suffering and reach the other shore?
"do you know?"
Duan Zhen looked away, looked at Bai Ziyue who dared not express his anger, and continued to speak.
"I…"
But Bai Ziyue didn't understand any deep meaning at all, and fell into hesitation for a while, not knowing why.
"You can't answer now. You in the future may not be able to answer."
Duan Zhen saw the appearance of the two people, and finally set his sights on Hong Yi.
He gently stretched out his right palm, and made a handprint exactly like Hong Yi's, which was the third seal of the Primordial Chapter, the Seal of Xuanyuan Living Beings.
Whirring whirring!
The sound of emptiness suddenly came from all directions, and the surrounding masses of pale golden veins, seemingly ubiquitous webs of living beings, also flowed into the seal.
Inherit the thoughts of all living beings and transform them into seals.
This is a mudra that combines the power of wishes, divine power, faith, incense and other powers deep in the thoughts of living beings.
If you refine it to the limit, all living things you see will be able to come out of this hand seal and manifest its true body.
The seal at this moment naturally did not reach such a vast level, but Duan Zhenyi's use inexplicably made this void completely freeze.
"my future?"
When Hong Yi heard the sound and saw the Taoist Master personally performing the Seal of Living Beings, he suddenly had all kinds of doubts and realizations.
But just as he was about to practice and comprehend along with it, he found that he couldn't move.
Not only him, but Bai Ziyue beside him, the surrounding wind and snow, mountains and rivers, clouds, galaxies and even the entire world, the entire time and space, were all immobilized.
Everything in this world is completely frozen from this moment on.
The only one who can move is Duan Zhen.
At this moment, endless golden light erupted around him, as if burning the entire web of living beings to maintain an unfallable force.
The white clothes were making a hunting sound, as if they were facing the wind of chaos, which could not be dissipated.
His eyes were also as bright as the bright sun, and his black hair was like a waterfall, scattered freely.
But that seal of sentient beings suddenly dimmed.
Boom, boom, boom!
Hong Yi couldn't move and could only look at Duan Zhen's appearance with his eyes, remembering the appearance of the Seal of All Beings.
But the next moment, he saw a thirty-foot-sized gap opened in front of Duan Zhen.
A person walked out of the gap.
"How can it be?!"
Hong Yi only felt that his heart suddenly stopped for a beat. Even though he could not move, cold sweat was shaking off his whole body like a sieve.
The person who stepped out inexplicably looked exactly like him!
At the same time, that person looked towards his gaze!
Boom boom boom!
Hong Yi felt that his ears were ringing with the sound of destruction, and even the depths of his soul were about to reach death.
What kind of look is that? !
Ancient, vicissitudes of life, silent and ruthless.
He seemed to see himself walking into the infinite future as the eras of one hundred and twenty-nine thousand six hundred years changed, century after century, just to reach the other side!
In these distant future times, all the stars have fallen, all the gods have completely decayed, and even the vast sea of suffering has withered more than a few times!
Ten thousand years, one hundred thousand years, one million years!
One century, ten centuries, one hundred centuries!
"I've been waiting for you for 156 million years."
At this moment, Hong Yi saw the man who looked exactly like himself and withdrew his gaze.
There was no emotion in the other person's eyes that any living thing should have, it was just cold and indifferent.
His voice was extremely dry, as if he hadn't spoken for tens of thousands of years.
This sentence was directed at Duan Zhen.
I have been waiting for you for 156 million years.
"Awaited."
Duan Zhen still held the seal, his whole body was shrouded in endless golden light, but he didn't say much.
Just one sentence, long wait.
