Tieguai Li, however, seemed to have been hit somewhere, and seemed to be somewhat convinced.
He sighed slightly, his expression under his beard seemed solemn.
"Forget it! Today, time has passed, and there is nothing bad to say." Tieguai Li said this, but there was no follow-up.
It wasn't until Feng Linwen coughed dryly that Tieguai Li seemed to come back to his senses and said slowly, "Don't be anxious, Pindao still needs to sort out this matter."
"In fact, the way of the Eight Immortals was originally an act of fighting for the inheritance of Taoism. 'Human' is the heart of heaven and earth and is deeply favored. Regardless of whether immortals, Buddhas, gods, or ghosts are superior, they may not have any reliance on mortals. The Eight Immortals came from , the meaning is to let the immortals enter the mortal world and become one of the common people, deeply feel their pain, and be with them. Using the human way to combine the heavenly way, at first the eight immortals were not the eight of us, but later times changed, these eight places , only to fall on the current Eight Immortals."
To put it in a simpler way, that is, a long time ago, there were eight quotas for working at the grassroots level. After some achievements are made in grassroots work, these eight people will be transferred back to the central government, given re-employment, and assume important positions.
Thoughts were spreading, but Tieguai Li's voice did not stop.
"The Eight Immortals respectively represent men, women, old, young, rich, noble, poor, and humble. Regardless of their predecessors, they are all born as mortals in the world of enlightenment and rise step by step. They also have different personal emphasis, implying the Bagua and Five Elements, so the way of heaven Humanity gathers in the Eight Immortals, and sometimes it can even guide the power of heaven and change the overall situation."
"At that time, each of our eight immortals had already achieved enlightenment and should ascend to heaven and rank among the immortals. The Jade Emperor then decreed that each of us eight immortals should demonstrate their magical powers and cross the East China Sea together. In this way, we would complete the final step of becoming immortals· ··.”
At this point, there is actually no need to prompt, everyone knows that there must be something fishy.
Sure enough, Tieguai Li continued: "The Eight Immortals were originally special immortals born from the intersection of human nature and heavenly nature, and the East China Sea is the land of the East China Sea Dragon Clan. It is rumored that many 'legacies' left over from ancient times still remain, even if After all kinds of attacks, there is still a secret that has not been revealed. We, the Eight Immortals, all thought in the past that the Eight Immortals crossing the sea was just a tentative act. Although it was dangerous, it did not cause any disaster, so we went together together, under the pretense of going to Penglai Immortal. Island, in the name of going to the Flower Fairy Banquet together.”
"Then naturally there was a gap between us and the Dragon Clan of the East China Sea. The Eight Immortals used their magical powers together, but they borrowed the power of heaven and man to suppress the East China Sea. After that, the entire East China Sea... and even the entire Dragon Clan was in ruins. Until At the end of the era, the entire heaven, earth, fairy world, spiritual world and even the cave heaven and blessed land began to disappear, the immortals and Buddhas left, and most of the dragons also disappeared from the human world and traveled to other places."
Feng Linwen knew that a turning point was coming.
Usually at this point, there's a turning point.
As expected, Tieguai Li said: "Although the Eight Immortals have condensed the power of heaven and man, the Dragon Clan has also been the totem of the human race since ancient times. After the Eight Immortals return to their throne and go to heaven, the appearance that they originally manifested in the human world should fade away. We each return to our true selves. However, the backlash caused by suppressing the Dragon Clan has made it difficult for our respective souls to leave the physical body, and each of us has committed one of the five disadvantages and three deficiencies."
Five shortcomings and three shortcomings usually appear in those 'experts' who make calculations, gain insight into the past and the future, and reveal secrets.
The reason is that the operation of heaven, earth and even the universe, from an idealistic point of view, all focus on cause and effect. As the saying goes, if there is a cause, there must be an effect, and if there is a result, there must be a cause. The way of heaven is clear and the cause and effect cycle. If you intervene without authorization and change the cause and effect, then the changed part of the power of cause and effect will be borne by the person who intervened. Most of the feedback results will be reflected in the form of five disadvantages and three deficiencies.
The dragon clan once protected the human race when it was first born, so it was regarded as a totem.
This is a great cause and effect that involves eternity, but because the Eight Immortals were used by the Jade Emperor, they sealed the fate of the Dragon Clan and helped him completely control the world, cutting off the roots of the Dragon Clan. This huge cause and effect turned into a backlash, which fell on the Eight Immortals, causing each of the Eight Immortals to suffer.
Era rise and fall, time changes, but certain causes and effects have not dissipated even after so many years.
It's no wonder that Tieguai Li is already an eighth-level golden immortal, but he still has to be trapped in a broken body. With his ability, he can change his body shape.
And gradually restricted it from going any further.
But if the Eight Immortals are all guilty of five evils and three shortcomings, then why is Tieguai Li the only one who is trapped in the eighth level and unable to go further?
Moreover, what does this have to do with Tieguai Li's next plan?
Feng Linwen did not ask any questions and continued to listen quietly.
"The Game of the Eight Immortals and the move to seal the East China Sea are the result of the struggle between all parties. Even if you go back to the past countless times, you still can't change the outcome. Because we are not the only ones who can transcend time and go to the past." Tieguai Li's words are equivalent to solving a time paradox.
If the bosses at level 8, 9, and 10 can already transcend the dimension of time and go to any past.
Doesn't that mean they can change the past at will to affect the future?
For example, kill your future enemies in advance, prevent them from becoming enlightened, etc.
What's even more said... to prevent the rise of the Galaxy Human Race that is now overwhelming all the worlds, and to cut off the root cause of the disaster before the Galaxy Human Race becomes a giant in the heavens.
But put aside your narrow vision and look broadly.
It is not just a single individual who travels through time.
But after a certain realm and level, this is an ability and skill that everyone has.
Some people want to change, but there is always a stronger and more terrifying force that pushes everything back to its original position.
Sometimes, a game seems to have ended that year in terms of time order.
But break out of the time frame and constraints.
Maybe it never ends.
Just like the past second, it has not disappeared, but still exists in the previous second, spinning all the time.
We all know (actually you don’t) that when the naked eye sees a static picture exceeding 24 frames per second, it will be regarded as a continuous dynamic video. So why can’t the movement of time and life be like a beating static picture? Each scene is just a static picture that undergoes rapid continuous movement driven by the torrent of time.
Life is like an edited movie.
So whether it is the director's cut version, the star-participated production version, or the so-called re-edited version... after all, they cannot escape the sanctions and rule of big scissors.
Even if you act like a monster, if you can step outside the framework and restrictions even half a step, I will lose.
That’s probably the concept!
"So, what do you want to do when you select the quota?" Feng Linwen finally asked the core question.
The explanation is just a foreshadowing. The secrets about the past may not be big news worthy of attention even today... After all, everything Tieguai Li said was like the palace secrets of the previous dynasty. No matter how obscure and private they were, in fact... it didn't matter.
What really matters is always the present moment.
Or some kind of layout that can affect the current situation.
