I Persuade People With Reason

Illusions flow, light and shadow interlace. It was not that based on that drop of blood, thousands of scenes evolved.

From the birds in the sky in the distance, to the splendid Tiangong nearby, to the disciples and servants in the Tiangong, and the immortals and gods, all of these are captured from the pictures in the blood master's memory, which the other party has experienced. the scene.

Some of these scenes are blurry and some are clear, depending on the depth of the memory of the dead fairy.

The Tiangong is majestic and vast, like mountains hanging in the sky. There is Fangshi, Hantan, bookstore, and square. People come and go in Fangshi, and there are people in Hantan who meditate. In the bookstore, there are books with vague contents. There is no wind. There are disciples on the square. Fighting with swords, evolving immortal arts, someone talking and laughing loudly, riding a crane... Even if many details are blurred, most people even have a hazy facial features, and it is still very lively.

I didn't want to move forward casually, and walked along the clear depths of the palace, only to feel that the surrounding scene became more and more real and delicate, and the silhouettes of people who came and went from blurred to clearly visible.

Then, he heard a magnificent voice slowly chanting, and the voice seemed to contain all kinds of rhymes:

"Those with form are born in formless, then the heaven and earth will be born in peace? Therefore, it is said: There is Taiyi, there is Taibei, there is Taibei, and there is Taiyuan. Those who are Taiyi have not seen Qi: Yin and Yang have not changed, and they are indifferent and too empty. No light, no image, no form and no name…”①

I didn't stop to look, I saw about twenty people sitting in a very simple palace. It seemed that a fairy was teaching the disciples.

On the top futon is a young man dressed in a crane cloak, floating in the dust. He wears a Taoist robe, holds a Taoist book in his hand, and dresses up as a Taoist. His dark eyes are filled with divine light, his skin is like jade, and there are some mysterious divine lines on his forehead. God.

Seeing this person's appearance, why not suddenly?

This is clearly the slaughter of the immortal I saw before. Now all these pictures are derived from the memory of the other party. Could it be that he is the master of the cave here?

I didn't want to look at other people, but I saw a group of men and women sitting scattered on the top of the futon. Judging from their appearance, there were young people and old people. They were all concentrated and careful. Listen to the teaching.

And these "people", just looking at their appearance, also have more or less mystical features, different from the human race, and how many "people" clearly have the characteristics of demons.

The only one who looks no different from ordinary people is the young man sitting in the far corner. He wears the most common sackcloth and linen. Although the weaving is extremely delicate, it is still difficult to hide the material. Ordinary and crude, his appearance is extremely outstanding. , even three points more beautiful than women? The others were all intoxicated listening to the sermons of the immortals, but his face was somewhat confused, and his forehead was sweating with anxiety.

Soon, the surrounding scene changed, everything dissipated like a cloud of smoke, and it was like a movie fast-forwarding. The immortals preached and left, and the disciples in the temple each had their own benefits, so they exchanged their Taoist experience with each other and explored the incomprehensible points.

The boy who fell in the corner also held up the Taoist book and asked others for advice one by one. Although his attitude was sincere, the others gradually became impatient, and there were a few arrogant teenagers and young girls showing disdain.

"Yu, why do you ask so many questions, but it's all in vain. Could it be that you still want to cultivate immortality and see it for a long time?"

"That's right. I've waited for my spirituality to become natural and my feet to be extraordinary. Only then did I have the fortune to enter the Miaozhen Cave, become a direct line of masters, and cultivate the method of longevity. Your human race is born weak, and your aptitude is low, if it is not for the catastrophe? Fighting, how can you be ranked as a master with me as the son of a mere human lord?"

"...There are many lords of the human race. If you are a candidate like you, the rest of the caves still have two fingers. You have this opportunity, you should strive for it, stand out, and become the only candidate. If you can win the catastrophe, you will also have the opportunity to become a human emperor, and even if you can't enjoy immortal longevity, you can still enjoy the wealth and honor in the world."

"That's the truth. You don't want to indulge in the mysteries of Taoism all day long, and eventually put the cart before the horse and be completely out of the game."

In the "warning" of the brothers and sisters, the boy in the sackcloth and linen looked red and seemed ashamed, but the book of Taoism in his hand was clenched even tighter, and he lowered his head and said in a low voice, "I have failed my brothers and sisters. It's a good idea, it's just that the Taoism of the Immortal Family is infinitely mysterious, and I'm really yearning for it."

The others all sighed, showing the same look of envy and yearning, and some said bluntly:

"To be honest, with your rotten wood-like talent, the immortal realm is far away, so don't be delusional."

After saying a few words like this, see the young man? Standing upright, his head is always lowered, it seems that he has been beaten and wandering in the sky, and the others gradually dispersed.

"...Yu? Later? Human Emperor Yu?"

The surrounding scene seemed to be blurred again, why didn't he circle around this young man? He made a light tut.

...Miaozhen Cave? It is tentatively decided that the master of the cave is called Miaozhen Daoist, and the emperor seems to be his disciple, so this is a cliché story of a disciple killing his master?

Just looking at the scene before, I almost thought that what I was watching was the deepest memory in Human Emperor Yu's heart.

But since that drop of blood belonged to Daoist Miaozhen, and these scenes evolved from Daoist Miaozhen's memory, it means that everything that happened just now was silently captured in the eyes of this immortal and stored in memory.

Immortals and gods shrouded the heavens, and it was not surprising to see everything, but these little things did not seem to be enough to impress a fairy so deeply. It can only be said that this is mostly the daily life here, and it happens every day.

Yuan Buwei gradually sketched some scenes in his mind.

Immortals and demons use the entire human world as a chessboard for a battle of qi and numbers, so the master of the two sides is shogi. As one of the more than ten candidates who were selected, the boy's Yu Yu was admitted to the disciple of Miaozhen Daoist, but he was definitely out of tune with other disciples, and his talent was not outstanding, so he had to work hard all day long and practice painstakingly...

Thinking like this, I didn't see Yu Yu, who had always lowered his head from the corner of his eye, as if he was very depressed. Suddenly, he raised his hand and flicked his hand. The boy's lowered head immediately seemed to be affected by a force. Lift up and show your face.

The expression on his face was blurred and indistinguishable!

interesting! This memory is from the perspective of Daoist Miaozhen. Everything before was so real and delicate, but he couldn't see Yu's expression at that time. It shows that Daoist Miaozhen didn't notice these details, or subconsciously ignored them.

It wasn't because he stretched out his palm and brushed slowly across the blurred face in the air, as if to wipe off the dust and dust contaminated by the mirror, and restore his original appearance.

Gradually, the details that had been ignored by Daoist Miaozhen subconsciously surfaced, and the blurred face gradually had more facial features and had a look of expression.

This is an extremely silent and calm face, with tight facial lines and pursed lips, as calm and expressionless as a rock. Only a pair of pupils glowed with brilliance, like an endless flame, burning quietly.

Not only is there no half-pointed, beaten-down self-consciousness, but instead, it is full of extreme perseverance, determination, and stubbornness.

Even if there is no expression on the face, these eyes have revealed all the emotions.

The original is not because of the familiar feeling in the trance.

"...It seems that an old friend is coming." He suddenly sighed, and then thought of the babble left by the Daoist Miaozhen before his death, "I seem to understand something. So it was me?!"

"Me?" He pointed out abruptly before the word "Me?"

The void seemed to collapse in an instant, and the air flow was not surrounded by fingertips, forming a turbulent vortex from small to large.

The surrounding scene that had gradually become blurred seemed to be frozen in an instant. In the distant sky, a projection that seemed to have a long river of time slowly emerged, and the sound of running water passed by his ears. The countless sights in front of me began to fluctuate like a stream of water, and there was a strong resistance between the heavens and the earth.

If it was said that it was just a photo taken in the memory of Daoist Miaozhen, then in the sound of the gurgling water, these scenes have a little more "texture", as if to change from the virtual to the real.

The power from the river of time pressed down, but it was because there was an invisible mountain on the back, the waist slightly bent a few degrees, and then slowly straightened again.

And a little bit of light flew out from his fingertips and plunged into the vortex.

A faint sound suddenly sounded in Yuan Buwei's ear, as if a small stone had been thrown into the river.

Then there is the continuous sound of running water. It seems that since the small stone entered the water, a series of turbulence has been triggered. The little waves continued to accumulate, setting off huge waves, which turned into torrents and swept from the upper stream. And down.

Heaven and earth were silent.

In the upper reaches of the river of time in this world, at a certain time node thousands of years ago, a big star appeared in the daytime, and an invisible light fell from the sky, which was invisible to others, dressed in sackcloth and linen. The young boy will walk out of the cave not far, and the brilliance will fall into his arms.

Immediately, all kinds of supernatural powers and different methods, together with the methods of the humane dynasty, exploded in his mind like countless light spots.

·

Inside the Miaozhen Cave, the sound of the flowing water of the River of Time slowly disappeared from the ears of the original, and the surrounding scenes that were both real and illusory gradually faded and became blurred again.

Because the original unexpectedly suddenly traced back the river of time and cast the "gold finger" to the past time node, the surrounding void was turbulent, and the memory image that could have been continued to look down suddenly suddenly Fragmented.

As a result, the broken heaven and earth reappeared in front of the original, the immortal slaughtered lying on the ground, the stars were dim, the Tianhe River stopped flowing, and the ruins of the Tiangong were like mountains.

He stood there quietly and let out a small breath.

System 999, who was inexplicably locked in a small dark room, was suddenly pulled back out of nowhere, and was about to cry out for grievance, when a sudden jolt felt that the host had an inexplicable aura that made it not dare to offend.

In short, the current host seems to be quite difficult to provoke. If the host it met for the first time was this kind of host, it wouldn't dare to tie people up even if you gave it ten courage!

[weird...] System 999 muttered quietly.

However, Yuan Buwei suddenly stretched, a slightly lazy smile was put on his face again, as if nothing happened, and he was about to leave.

As he walked, he did not forget to sort out his thoughts.

"The way of time, space and cause and effect is really strange. According to what is known, it is inferred that the victory of the human emperor was a set situation. This is why the Great Xia Dynasty, which is now ruled by the human race, has the trajectory of fate? Zhong Xie Yuan. The entanglement of others... If I never came to this world, it should be the same. According to this principle, if I don't make a move, the emperor should win. Then the original? How did he fight back? What?"

"...No. If I don't come, what is the fate of this world? It should be unknown."

A flash of light flashed in his mind, but he suddenly said, "999, how did you choose to transcend possession? The mechanism? Do you detect the villain first and then enter the world, or do you detect the villain after entering the world?"

System 999 was stunned for a moment, and replied in an unexplained manner: [Of course, come first and then detect who the villain is. Outside the small world, the fate of the small world cannot be detected. For example, this time, the system first entered this small world, began to explore the trajectory of fate, and then found that Xie Yuan's soul had left, and then possessed it. 】

"So that's it, I? Got it."

There was a happy smile on his lips.

When he was in other worlds in the past, he never thought of this, because he never changed the past destiny of other worlds, but only the future. Therefore, he always thought that the fate track detected by System 999 was the fate track before he arrived.

Even System 999 thinks so?

And now it looks like that's not quite the case.

From the moment he arrived, the fate of this world has begun to change. He is the biggest variable.

For example, when Emperor Yu was born, there was his intervention—and this was inevitable. Even if he did not choose to possess Xie Yuan, but Wang Yuan, Zhang Yuan, Qi Yuan, who possessed anyone in this world, would eventually choose to help Yu when he came into contact with the truth of the past.

Therefore, the fate of this world in the past was determined by him. Humanity and Taoism suppressed the immortals and demons with one force; so the human race flourished; so there was the prosperity of the Great Xia Dynasty, and the people behind Li Mo, Yuhua, Xie Yuan and others. ? The battle of the three qi number.

——That is to say, from the moment Yuan Buwei came to this world, the past fate of this world has been influenced by him and became a certainty.

And before he possessed Xie Yuanzhi, Xie Yuan's fate belonged to him, so what Xie Yuan saw was his own tragic future. The one detected by System 999 is also Xie Yuan's fate trajectory.

Described by the saying "Schrödinger's cat" that he once heard in the scientific world, if Yuan Wei did not come to this world, then the fate of this world is unknown to him. .

Maybe thousands of years ago, the immortal Dao Dachang, now there are immortal cultivators everywhere in the world, maybe the demons have turned defeat into victory, and they have already brought disaster to the world...

Suddenly wanting to understand this, it wasn't the smile on his lips that couldn't help but get bigger and bigger. At this moment, he seemed to have a deeper understanding of time and space, cause and effect, and fate.

"The Great Dao is fifty, Tianyan is four and nine, and one of them is escaped. It seems that I am the "one" of this variable. "

The author has something to say:

Old friends, after reading the director's chapter, you can probably guess that it is Jhin. For those of you who don't know, let me tell you that the protagonist, because of Yu, thinks of a friend Jin he once knew, so he helps out.

①From "Lie Zi" and "Dao Fa Hui Yuan", with a bit of deletion and miscellaneous comments.

In addition, I don't know if the explanation is clear enough. The fate track detected by the system each time is not actually before the protagonist's arrival, but after the protagonist's arrival. Because if the protagonist hadn't come, he wouldn't know the fate of this world, and since he came, he had already begun to participate in the trajectory of fate as a variable.

It's just that every time it detects, the protagonist has not yet determined the object of possession, so it shows the original fate of the original body. (But in fact, this is after the protagonist changed, otherwise, maybe this world is not a human race at all, maybe there is no Xie Yuan at all.)

[Equivalently, before the protagonist enters, the fate of this world is text a. At the moment of entry, the past changes, and text a is replaced by text b from beginning to end. At the moment when Xie Yuan is possessed, the future changes and the fate of this world changes. becomes the text bc. 】

[The first few worlds have no intermediate steps, no text b, and the past remains unchanged. When the protagonist is possessed by the villain, the future changes, and the trajectory of destiny directly changes from a to ac. 】

It may be a bit complicated, but don't worry, it's just that this world is special. The world behind should be the same as the previous worlds, only changing the future.

In fact, you don't need to read my writing, everyone may understand that reading it will give you a headache. The reason for the explanation is to take into account that readers may ask questions-

Xie Yuan ran away when he saw that he would be taken away by Li Mo in the future, and then the protagonist entered his body. This was his original destiny. And Li Moduo gave up his body to cultivate because the emperor cut off the road of demons.

From this logic, doesn't it mean that even without the help of the protagonist, in the original trajectory of fate, the emperor would have had a chance for other reasons, and was he strong enough to suppress the fairy? Isn't the protagonist's actions superfluous?

If it is said that it is because of the help of the protagonist that the emperor can suppress the fairy, without the help of the protagonist, Yu is not strong enough to fight the fairy, or even become the emperor. So before the protagonist came to this world, how did the powerful human dynasty continue in the original destiny of this world? In the first chapter of this volume, shouldn't there be gods and demons everywhere?

That's why I explained the logic clearly...

There is no "original trajectory of fate before the protagonist's arrival". Before the protagonist came, the world was like a closed black box, and we knew nothing about the trajectory of fate; but after he came, fate changed because of him. Such as Daxing Humanity.

The fate track detected by System 999 is after the protagonist's arrival, not before the protagonist's arrival. Just because it detects when the protagonist is not yet possessed, it shows the fate of the original Xie Yuan (and Xie Yuan's fate is hidden in the background of Human Daxing, which is the moment when the protagonist arrives. changed fate).
