The blue light was as soft as the moonlight, shining towards Shu Guan.
In that light, it was obvious that there was no aggression at all.
So Shu Guan was a little hesitant to avoid it, but he also knew that he couldn't avoid it.
But just when the green light was about to fall on top of his head, a monkey's paw stopped in front of the green light.
The blue light fell on the monkey's paw, but did not fall on Shu Guan's body after all.
The senior brother turned his head and grinned at Yang Qingyuan for the second time.
"Although it's just a joke to call him senior brother, shouldn't you ask my opinion before you look at him?"
Yang Qingyuan immediately nodded to his senior brother apologetically and said:
"I'm in a hurry."
"But this person has heard so much about us just now. I want to ensure that he will not leak these secrets."
"I'll guarantee it for him!"
The senior brother waved the other monkey's paw and said.
Yang Qingyuan frowned slightly, sighed and said:
"Monkey King, if this is just a matter between you and me, I trust your guarantee, but this concerns the lives of dozens of immortals from the Conferring God Society, so I need a more certain guarantee."
"What's more, you said that there is an innate ancestral spirit standing behind him, so if the matter discussed between us today is known by an innate ancestral spirit, I don't know what will happen!"
"Then what do you want to do?"
"The best way is to let him go back with us."
"So you are going to imprison him, aren't you afraid that the ancestral spirit behind him will come to your door?"
The senior brother raised his eyebrows and said.
"The place where our Conferred Gods Association is located cannot be sensed by the innate ancestral spirits."
"What if I don't agree?"
"Then another way is to ask me to erase his memory just now. Don't worry, I will only erase his memory about the conversation between us."
Yang Qingyuan continued.
The senior brother pondered for a moment, then turned to Shu Guan and said:
"Xiao Guan, the things we just talked about are really not suitable for you to know. Once you know these things, you will be involved one day, and the danger of these things is far beyond your imagination."
Shu Guan smiled bitterly and nodded.
He knew very well that the senior brother was doing this for his own good, but it was a pity that he had just heard these secrets of heaven and earth and was about to passively forget them!
Then he thought for a while and asked again:
"Elder brother, may I know who the innate ancestral spirits are?"
Since it will be remembered clearly later, it is better to simply ask out all the doubts and confusions in my heart.
Does this count as hearing the truth in the morning and dying in the evening?
At this time, the senior brother also felt that there was no need to hide anything from Shuguan, so he slowly said:
"The ancestral spirits...those are the first creatures born in this world."
"They were conceived in the way of heaven, and the way of heaven is illusory, so these innate ancestral spirits can be said to be the incarnation of the will of heaven to a certain extent. Each innate ancestral spirit represents one or several origins of heaven. They are also the source of all Taoism. It is they who taught the living beings born in the world to practice and achieve extraordinary methods. Today, any Taoism in the world of cultivation can be traced back to these ancestral spirits, whether it is Taoism, Buddhism, The original source of Confucianism and other orthodox traditions comes from these innate ancestral spirits."
"Just like you originally thought that Shan Jiguan belonged to the Taoist sect, did you think that the ancestor of the Taoist sect was Lu Duanyang? No, the real ancestors of the Taoist sect are three innate ancestral spirits known as the Three Pure Ones. , Shangqing, named after Taiqing, Lu Duanyang should be a disciple of the Taiqing lineage, and the most powerful Taoist techniques of that lineage are various sword-controlling techniques."
"And the strength of these innate ancestral spirits, in the first three Yuanhui eras, almost every one of them was enough to destroy the heaven and the earth. The survival of all living beings in the world only depends on their thoughts."
"Even though the power of heaven is extremely weak now, ordinary immortals are still nothing more than ants in front of those ancestral spirits."
"So I don't want to involve you, Xiaoguan, in the whirlpool of confrontation with these ancestral spirits."
"Why do we have to fight against these ancestral spirits?"
Shu Guan asked again puzzled.
"Because in the minds of the ancestors, all living beings in the world are just ants and dogs. Their greatest pursuit is to hope that they can return to the way of heaven and become eternal existences. If they need to destroy all living beings in the world, they can achieve their goals. If so, they will do so without hesitation.”
The person who answered Shu Guan's question was Yang Qingyuan.
He looked at Shu Guan calmly and said:
"Whether it was in the first three prehistoric Yuanhui eras or the Conferred Gods era, there were innate ancestral spirits who tried to do this, but were stopped by other innate ancestral spirits."
"This kind of attempt is called enlightenment by them!"
"It's just that every innate ancestral spirit seems to only want to attain enlightenment by themselves, but they don't want other innate ancestral spirits to attain enlightenment before them. If anyone takes the first step, they will be swarmed by other innate ancestral spirits. And attack it.”
"It is these ancestors who restrain each other that prevent the world from being completely destroyed. But who can guarantee that this balance will not be broken one day? Who can guarantee that we ants will not be destroyed by those The innate ancestral spirits serve as stepping stones to enlightenment.”
"I already understood during the Conferred God Era that the war was just a war started by a few ancestral spirits fighting for an opportunity to attain enlightenment. However, that war eventually swept through the three realms, killing tens of millions of ordinary creatures. Because of this, more than half of the entire cultivation world was killed or injured."
Yang Qingyuan took a deep breath, as if suppressing some surging emotions.
There was endless sadness and nostalgia in his eyes at this moment.
He seemed to be missing some people, some relatives, comrades and brothers.
But the joys and sorrows between people are not connected. Shu Guan can only see Yang Qingyuan's sadness, but cannot feel Yang Qingyuan's true feelings at this time.
Then Yang Qingyuan's eyes gradually turned sharp, firm, and fearless.
"So, if we don't want to be ants whose destiny is beyond our control forever, then we must stand up and resist, find a way to kill those innate beings, and let all living beings in the world gain true freedom."
In Yang Qingyuan's tone, there was a determination to move forward regardless of the mountains of swords and seas of fire ahead.
"So, I organized the God Conferment Meeting to do just this."
Shu Guan was silent for a moment.
This is indeed an amazing person. There is almost no chance of success in what he wants to do, but he still does it and persists silently for thousands of years.
"Then why can't you let me join you?"
Then Shu Guan asked this question.
He asked this not because of any sense of mission, but because he felt a sense of loss that he was being ignored.
The senior brother couldn't help but laugh beside him.
"Even a peak true immortal like Lu Duanyang is not qualified to participate in this matter. In front of the innate ancestor spirits, the Seven Immortals of the Seven Immortals Alliance are no different from ants. They can only cultivate to the Taiyi Golden Immortal. Although it still doesn’t have the strength to fight, at least it won’t be easily killed by those ancestral spirits.”
The senior brother patted Shuguan on the shoulder and said:
"If one day you can achieve the realm of Taiyi Golden Immortal, then I will tell you what I told you today again, and then ask you if you are willing to join us."
"It's just that I'm afraid I won't be able to visit you at will in the future."
"Now, I will teach you all the techniques of practicing fighting tactics that I know."
"Close your eyes, and I will use the spirit-infusing method to inject all these exercises and formulas into your soul."
After saying that, the senior brother placed a monkey's paw on Shuguan's forehead.
Shu Guan didn't have time to be happy and immediately closed his eyes.
Countless exercises and formulas, as well as scenes and scenes, flooded into his mind.
The senior brother not only taught him the fighting tactics, but also poured into Shu Guan's mind all the battle scenes he had experienced in his life.
These extremely precious combat experiences, once Shu Guan is completely digested, will probably not improve his combat power any less than those of those cultivation methods.
After about ten minutes, the senior brother's monkey's paw was removed from Shu Guan's head.
Shu Guan opened his eyes.
"Okay, pack your things and leave first!"
The senior brother pointed to the open suitcase under the high platform and the bamboo dragonfly that fell to the ground.
Shu Guan raised his head and looked at his senior brother.
The time to part has come.
After this farewell, he didn't know if he would see his senior brother again in a while.
Shu Guan looked at the senior brother with strong emotions in his eyes.
At this moment, Shu Guan's mind flashed through every detail of getting along with his senior brother since the beginning of the concept of self-kindness.
When he is not "awakened", he likes to imitate human speech with his accent.
The senior brother who forced himself to hit bananas by the lake.
The senior brother who put on the crown he brought back and flew away in the clouds.
The senior brother came out of the smoke, holding a flat peach in his hand.
And the senior brother who just held his head and was rolling on the ground in pain.
All the pictures flashed through Shu Guan's mind like a movie.
He opened his mouth, wanting to say goodbye, but nothing came out for a while.
The elder brother smiled and patted his shoulder.
"Go ahead."
"Senior Brother, can I still contact you with those monkey hairs in the future?"
Shu Guan finally asked.
"I can sense it, but I'm afraid I won't show up because I have to temporarily escape the sight of those innate ancestor spirits, especially the one who created another one of me."
The senior brother pointed at the golden-haired monkey on the ground that looked exactly like himself.
"but……"
Then the senior brother pondered for a moment and said:
"If you really encounter a desperate situation where you must die, you can light nine monkey hairs in a row. In that case, I will come to help you."
Shu Dian nodded.
However, if he really encounters such a desperate situation in the future, he will not choose to light the monkey hair, because that will probably expose the senior brother to the sight of those innate ancestral spirits.
"You don't want your mother-in-law anymore. Don't you know that you can't stay here for a long time? Maybe the ancestral spirit who arranged this place has noticed that someone has broken into this place."
The cyan pig muttered impatiently beside him.
Shu Guan took a deep breath, glanced at his senior brother one last time, and then jumped off the platform.
He picked up the bamboo dragonfly that fell on the ground and put it into his suitcase.
This bamboo dragonfly was thrown to the "Elder Brother" on the high platform when he first entered the palace. At that time, he wanted to verify whether the dead "Elder Brother" was real or not, but he never had the chance to pick it up again. .
But the moment Shuguan put the bamboo dragonfly into the suitcase, his hand suddenly paused, and a flash of light flashed through his mind.
... If it was true that this bamboo dragonfly was able to discern "reality" as he had guessed, then neither the dead golden monkey on the high platform nor the senior brother who came in later would have caused it to fly.
This shows what?
Just now, Yang Qingyuan, Senior Brother, and the little pig called Dangkang were discussing who was the real Monkey King and who was the fake Monkey King.
The premise of their discussion was that there must be one truth and one falsehood between the two.
But what if the eldest brother and the dead golden monkey...are both the real Monkey King?
That's why the bamboo dragonfly didn't react at all.
But if the elder brother and the dead golden-haired monkey were both real monkey kings, how could they die once and for all and still exist at the same time?
This doesn't make sense at all.
As Yang Qingyuan said just now, there cannot be two identical leaves in the world.
In Shu Guan's previous life, there was a very similar motto, and behind this motto, there was another sentence, that is, a person cannot step into the same river twice.
...You cannot step into the same river twice...because the river flows...no, the essence is that time passes...
The same river at different points in time is actually not the same river.
At this moment, Shu Guan suddenly realized something, and then he suddenly raised his head, wanting to say something to his senior brother.
Just when he bent down to put the bamboo dragonfly into the suitcase, the senior brother turned to Yang Qingyuan and said something.
"We can only erase his memory about this incident. We can't involve other things, and we can't peek into his memory!"
Yang Qingyuan smiled and nodded:
"When it comes to controlling power down to the smallest detail, you have always been inferior to me, so don't worry."
Then Yang Qingyuan opened the divine eyes in front of his forehead again, and a ray of blue light shot towards Shu Guan.
Under the high platform, Shu Guan suddenly raised his head and was about to speak, when he saw green light falling on him.
The next moment, Shu Guan's body went limp and he fainted.
…
Shu Guan leisurely opened his eyes.
He looked around and found that he was lying on the dragon bed in Emperor Gengshi's palace. There were three people lying next to him, namely Qian Jing'an, Professor Lai Sheng, and the second young master.
Shu Guan remembered clearly that before walking into the door in the painting, he affixed calming charms to these three people.
They are still sleeping.
But why do you sleep on the bed?
Shu Guan was suddenly startled, jumped up from the bed like lightning, and looked at the wall beside the bed.
The walls were empty.
That door is gone.
The main reason is that even the painting of Emperor Gengshi is gone.
But I remember clearly that there was originally a portrait of Emperor Gengshi on the wall, and there was a door hidden in the painting.
He walked through the door and found a palace.
There is a green pig in the palace, and a golden monkey that is exactly the same as the elder brother's.
Later, the senior brother also appeared.
Then a young man with three eyes and dressed like an ancient military general named Yang Qingyuan appeared.
Then something seemed to happen... But, what happened...
...Elder brother taught him many techniques...but before that, everything else seemed to have happened...
Shuguan rubbed his forehead and tried to think back.
After a few seconds, Shuguan suddenly stopped rubbing his forehead.
If you are an ordinary mortal, you may only think that your memory has some confusion at this moment.
But Shu Guan is not an ordinary person. He is a practitioner, and he is also a practitioner who is nervous about giving people forgetful charms and helping them clear their memories.
So he quickly realized what was happening.
"...Have I been erased from some memories?"
Shu Guan muttered this silently.
Then Xiaoyi's voice rang in his head.
"Yes, brother, someone has wiped your memory, but that person didn't notice me, so I'll show you your erased memory now."
With Xiao Yi's sweet voice, the erased memories flooded back into Shu Guan's mind.
When Shuguan accepted all the lost memories, he knew everything that happened in the underground palace.
But when he regained his lost memory, the first thought that flashed through his mind was:
Having Xiaoyi with you means you have a cloud backup for your memory. Even if the data on the host is deleted, it can still be restored through the cloud backup.
What about senior brother?
Does he also have a "cloud backup"?
