The ancient imperial prison.
After World Tree learned the identity of Zishou, he tremblingly showed his true form. He followed the three people who came behind Zishou and quickly guessed their identities.
In this ancient imperial prison, apart from the warden and jailer, there are only other imprisoned sinners.
The eyes and mouth were exposed on the trunk of the World Tree, which looked very strange. He opened and closed his mouth and said: "Dare I ask some of you, are they all criminals released by the prison warden? I don't know, what crime have they committed? And also Am I the same, absorbing the foundation of the chaotic world and causing its destruction?"
Hong Yi and the others twitched their mouths and laughed.
Sure enough, some trees are born unable to speak human language.
With a wave of his hand, Zishou transformed a stone table under the World Tree. There was a tea set on the stone table. He and Hong Yi sat on the stone bench, looked at the World Tree, and sent a spiritual thought. go out.
The World Tree was stunned for a moment, then obediently shook its branches, formed four strange hands, picked a leaf that condensed the Tao, and put it into the teacups of the four people.
Fang Yun smiled and looked at the crystal clear teacup, which seemed to contain the infusion of a world, and said: "Yes, Brother Shu, although he can't speak human words, he is quite good at observing people's emotions."
"We have been drinking the fairy tea from West Kunlun these days. The tea tree that is said to have the first spiritual root in the world has been famous for a long time. Unexpectedly, we did not drink the tea of enlightenment, but drank the leaves of the world."
After Fang Yun finished speaking, he shook the tea cup, and saw the Tao on the leaves turned into the scent of birds and tea, drifting away. He took a sip and suddenly felt a Tao rush straight to the top of his head, making him tremble all over. It's like drinking rugosa.
After a long time, Fang Yun took out a breath and said, "This smell... is quite strong."
He then looked at Zishou and the others, and the corner of his mouth twitched...
He only saw a Tao principle flowing through each of the three of them. Hong Yi was surrounded by lightning and thunder. Meng Hao looked at him like he was looking at a beautiful woman. The laziness on Zi Shou's body disappeared, and it seemed that he had returned to the state he had been working hard on a few years ago. The momentum...
He then looked at the reflection in the tea and found that his face was completely lifeless, and the ghostly aura of the Nine Netherworld was looming...
He murmured and said: "Is this the leaves of the world? Each leaf is like a leaf, it is really mysterious and extraordinary."
However, Fang Yun could feel that this understanding of the Tao would not last long, just like the fragrance of tea in the mouth, it would slowly dissipate.
How much you can comprehend before the scent of tea condensed by Tao disappears depends entirely on your understanding. Only after you comprehend can you belong to yourself.
He immediately gathered his mind and studied the Tao principles like Zi Shou and others.
After a long time, the four of them opened their eyes one after another.
Fang Yun felt the Tao Principle flowing in his body and murmured: "Is this... the Tao Principle of Reincarnation?"
"No, that's not right, there is death but no life... This is just half a reincarnation, it should be called the Avenue of Death."
He glanced at Zi Shou and found that his laziness had returned again, but his temperament had changed slightly, and he was different from the previous prison warden.
Zi Shou felt Fang Yun's gaze, smiled, and said: "Although the smell is strong, the effect is good. However, there is only one chance to understand each of the various principles on the leaves of this world tree. Otherwise, , if you and I each break off a branch, maybe we can fully understand a great path."
After Zishou finished speaking, World Tree couldn't help but tremble. He tilted his neck and smiled flatteringly, saying: "Master Warden is joking... Several fellow Taoists are all from the same side. How could they come to drink my leaves so bitterly just for the sake of a great road?" s things……"
Fang Yun shook his head and said: "Good medicine tastes bitter but is good for the disease...Brother Shu, don't be humble."
world Tree:……
Zishou smiled, interrupted the conversation of several people, looked at the mysterious ancient seal script behind the World Tree, and said:
"World Tree... This is your species, and it is not suitable to be your name. I think you look like an emperor, so I will give you a name, Wang Teng."
"King Vine? The human king's tree vine..."
"Good name."
Fang Yun nodded.
Hong Yi did not speak. Looking at Zi Shou's strange expression, he knew that the name did not mean what it meant on the surface.
He had been in contact with Zishou for the longest time, and he had heard countless words that he did not understand.
Originally, he thought these words came from ancient times.
It was not until he stayed in the ancient times for several years that he discovered that these mysterious words in Zi Shou's mouth did not come from the ancient times.
It seems to come from another world.
Just like these children of fate who were imprisoned in the Ancient Emperor's Prison.
He once doubted that since the prisoners in the Ancient Imperial Prison were all from different worlds, the prison warden might not be from this world.
However, this kind of question must be the most secretive thing in the mind of the warden.
If Zi Shou didn't tell him, he wouldn't ask.
When World Tree heard the name Wang Teng, his eyes lit up.
As a creature of chaos, he naturally knows that there are countless royal cities in chaos.
These royal cities are inhabited by the royal family of chaos gods and demons who are in charge of the laws of one side.
He likes the name Wang Teng very much.
"Wang Teng thanked Lord Warden for the name."
Zi Shou took another sip of World Leaf Water, nodded, and said, "Do you know why you were caught here?"
Wang Teng tilted his neck and nodded, sighing: "I have been lurking in cultivation for too long. I have understood too many avenues, and the power of the laws in my body is too heavy. It has crushed the long river of time and space, and the source of the world has been swallowed up. Chaos gods and demons came to the door..."
"That chaotic world, thousands of heavenly worlds, were devoured by gods and demons..."
"I am guilty..."
After Wang Teng finished speaking, Hong Yi and the other three looked at each other and nodded to each other.
Sure enough, this is the case again...
The Crooked Neck Tree, like them, was suppressed here due to various reasons that led to the extinction of the world where it was.
It's just that... the world they live in is just a vast world. The origin of the world is not even the world of heaven, and the strongest person in it is no more than the Great Luo Jinxian in the prehistoric times.
Even Daluo Jinxian can't compare, it's just Taiyi realm.
However, they could not feel the aura of this crooked-necked tree. It was obviously beyond the realm of the three of them.
In the years since they were released from prison, they have been practicing hard in the wilderness, and they have already achieved Daluo enlightenment from their mortal bodies.
But now, the cultivation level of this crooked-necked tree is already above that of Da Luo.
"Thousands of heavenly worlds..."
"This is a bit unfair..."
"We only affected one world, and it was worth tens of millions of catastrophes. This tree destroyed thousands of worlds, but only twenty million..."
Meng Hao held his chin and looked at Wang Teng carefully.
Zishou put down the tea cup in his hand and said: "The consequences are very serious, but the subjectivity is not high. He is just practicing on his own, but you want all the great supernatural powers in the nine heavens and ten earths to owe you money... You took the initiative to ask In the long river of time and space, a piece of cause and effect was dropped."
"Furthermore, World Tree is not a son of luck. He has the ability to enlighten himself, which is different from Brother Fang's behavior of taking people's money to go home for retirement."
Fang Yun:......
Meng Hao:......
Meng Hao smiled awkwardly and said, "It's okay not to mention the past."
Zi Shou glanced at him and said, "How could you not mention it? This matter has never happened...Brother Meng, you haven't gotten back the IOU you left in the world of Mythical Da Luo."
Come and try it quickly. 】
When Meng Hao heard this, he seemed to think of some kind of horror and was immediately speechless...
Fang Yun sighed and said: "Master Warden, Fang helped Middle-earth solve the final hidden danger, but he didn't work as hard as the prison leader to make Middle-earth bigger and stronger."
Zi Shou smiled when he heard the words, looked at World Tree, and said: "However, today is different from the past. The Battle of the Gods has come to an end, and the journey to the west is just a show now. In the prehistoric world, there are no more opportunities for Brother Shu. More. It is very likely that the fate of the cell with your own size will be the most difficult to break."
When the World Tree heard this, its bark wrinkled, and there was an ominous premonition in its heart.
Although he couldn't understand the first words of Zishou, he could still understand the last sentence...
In other words, all his previous chances of being released from prison have been used up, and now...
Cool?
Hong Yi had a smile on his face and said: "Master Warden, isn't this what you think? Now this great wilderness is already under your control. The nine states and the four seas have been unified, and the wilderness and overseas are all under the control of these two empresses. In his hands. If it weren’t for the purpose of cutting off Buddhism’s luck, the revolution in the West would have already intensified.”
"Now, the only crisis is not internal, but external."
"As long as Brother Shu can solve the crisis facing the prehistoric era and eliminate 20 million murders, it is not impossible."
When Zi Shou heard this, he smiled indifferently and said nothing.
Hong Yi's words were naturally what he had in mind, but he just wanted to scare Yggdrasil.
He always felt that this tree was not as simple as he showed.
How could a spiritual root of heaven and earth that caused the destruction of thousands of worlds, a being that could not even be carried by a chaotic world, and a giant with so many principles that could not even compare to the luck of the world, be so harmless to humans and animals.
At this time, as soon as Hong Yi finished speaking, World Tree's eyes lit up and he couldn't help but ask: "Master Warden, is what this Taoist brother said true?"
Zishou nodded and said: "Yes, there is no chance in the country. The only chance is in the chaos."
"chaos……"
When the World Tree heard this, his expression was a little dazed, and then a strange look appeared on the elder's gnarled trunk, and he said: "It turns out that this is also a world of chaos."
Zi Shou said: "Beyond the prehistoric times, there is indeed chaos, but no one knows what is outside of chaos. Whether the chaotic world here and the chaotic world you are in are the same world, and what is the connection? It has not yet been determined You know.”
"Before you were imprisoned, you only knew how to practice hard, which led to the destruction of the world and the invasion of gods and demons. It is very simple to break the catastrophe... As long as you use the principles of your practice to save the world and resist the invasion of gods and demons, you will have a chance. .”
"However, I have not yet unified the ancient world, and it is not yet time to break the seal."
"During this period of time, you should first enjoy your journey to the west."
After he finished speaking, he put down the teacup, turned around and walked out of the cell. When he stepped through the cell door, he paused and said, "Today is the sixteenth day of the twelfth lunar month. You are out of luck. You have to wait until the fifteenth day of next month before you can go out for a walk."
After saying that, Zi Shou turned and left.
Hong Yi and the other three reluctantly looked away from the dense leaves of the World Tree, and left with smiles on their faces.
After everyone left.
The leaves of the World Tree rustled, and a chaotic divine light flashed through, turning into a middle-aged man with a lame leg.
He wore his hair in a messy bun, wore tattered clothes, and leaned on crutches. He looked at the closed cell door, withdrew his eyes that were originally afraid of compliments. His eyes were calm and indifferent, and he said leisurely:
"The Hongmeng has not yet been judged, and the chaos has just begun... The world they live in does not even have the origin of chaos. It is just the way of heaven and the great road..."
"The master of this prison can slap a poor man into the prison and suppress him. His magical power is so great that even the God King in Chaos cannot match it. Why is the prisoner who controls our destiny such a weak mortal? ?”
"Although he has comprehended the Great Dao, he has not even condensed the Hunyuan Dao Fruit, let alone the Heavenly Dao level..."
The slovenly middle-aged man pinched his nose, sighed, and said: "I think I am also the Lord of Chaos, and my fate is actually controlled by a mortal."
The middle-aged man murmured to himself, pinched a few leaves out of thin air, put them into the teacup, and after tasting for a moment, said: "Wudao tea tree? Haha, Pindao decides what the leaves taste like. . If it tastes too good, wouldn’t it be stripped naked?”
at this time.
Outside the prison door, Zi Shou smiled and looked at the picture in front of him quietly. The picture was none other than the whispering World Tree.
Hong Yi and others stood beside Zishou, silent...
Zi Shou chuckled and said, "Although I can use the power of prison to make the criminal tell the truth, wouldn't it be more interesting to let him tell the truth himself?"
After saying that, Zishou turned and left.
The three of them, Hong Yi, also left the Ancient Imperial Prison, and their consciousness returned to the Immortal Boat on the Western Continent.
They glanced at Hong Chao who was singing loudly, looked at each other, shook their heads helplessly, and continued to practice meditation.
To be honest... they want to suppress this boy's luck more than Buddhism.
This kid is so smooth.
Ever since Hong Yi took him in, his luck had become so strong that he was even a little jealous. No matter what he does, crises always sneak away from him. Every time he wakes up and changes his base, people from the Kingdom of God will come to his door.
He traveled many times between the Eastern and Western lands, and rolled down the Kunlun Mountains many times. Every time he encountered a cave full of natural and earthly treasures.
…
The list goes on and on.
Shun means madness.
If you are king in the Western Land, you can forget about being crazy...
Now I go to the Eastern Land to seek enlightenment. If I am still so crazy, I am afraid that the king will teach me how to be a good person.
…
at this time.
Da Leiyin Temple.
The atmosphere was so silent that you could hear a pin drop.
Under the Buddha's lotus throne, there are many Buddha Lords from the Western Kingdom of God standing. Although they are unhappy, they are all bowing and saluting: "Buddha, we have failed in this difficult situation. The fault is ours. We have come here to apologize to the Buddha."
"We didn't expect that before Hong Chao went west, he had completely dispersed the heretics into the Western people and hid them in thousands of households. But don't worry, Buddha, we will intensify the search and would rather kill by mistake than let them go." However, the pagans will eventually be completely eliminated from the Kingdom of God.”
Medicine Master Tathagata nodded and said: "There is Emperor Xin enlightening Hongchao behind him, so he is naturally different from ordinary people. These pagans are the people who stand in the way of the prosperity of Buddhism. They must all be transformed. Remember, the transformation is the main thing, and do not commit indiscriminate killings." "
Gaia and others nodded, then turned and left. Before leaving, they looked at the vacant lotus throne in the Great Thunder Sound Temple, their eyes flashing with brilliance.
Their figures directly broke through the space and returned to the Western Continent.
next moment.
One after another divine orders spread throughout the Western Lands.
Heretics shall be killed without mercy!
…
At this time, in the territory of Dashang, the team escorting Sakyamuni to the west suddenly saw an old woman carrying a bamboo basket with food in the basket. She stopped Sakyamuni and said:
"Masters, are you hungry? The old lady has some food here, why don't you eat before leaving?"
