The fairy father

'I go……'

Li Dazhi looked at the old Taoist standing in front of him in bewilderment. Looking at the other person's white-haired boyish face and graceful demeanor, he couldn't feel the slightest sense of nervousness in his heart.

‘This is something exciting. ’

However, this old Taoist was calm and composed. Facing a human Qi practitioner like Li Dazhi who was not yet a Golden Immortal, he would not feel the slightest bit nervous.

The old Taoist said warmly: "Won't you ask me to sit down?"

"Oh, yes," Li Dazhi said with a smile, "Senior, please take a seat... I wonder what I should call you?"

The old Taoist said warmly: "You can call me whatever you want, fellow Taoist."

Li Dazhi blinked and watched the veteran slowly sit on the seat next to him. For a moment, he really didn't know what he should do.

What struck Li Dazhi most strangely was that he didn't feel any pressure at all, but his intuition told him that the old man in front of him was very powerful. In fact, as long as Li Dazhi closed his eyes, his immortal knowledge and spiritual skills would not be able to detect anything here. The old man sat upright.

The old Taoist sighed: "Don't make blind guesses, poor Taoist Hongjun."

"ah?"

Li Dazhi was taken aback, and then he bowed directly:

"I have eyes that don't recognize Mount Tai. I have eyes that don't recognize Mount Tai. Please forgive me."

"well……"

Master Hongjun let out a long sigh.

He said: "After your father and son entered this world, Pindao had only three chances to come back. The first time was to arrange Yaochi, and the second time was to visit Houtu. I thought that the third time would be to wait for the Heavenly Court to be established. I went to find your son, I didn’t expect... Taoist friend, this is what Mahayana Buddhism is going to do!"

Li Dazhi sneered.

You may not believe it, but he just did it on a whim.

Of course, you can't say this nonsense.

Li Dazhi said hurriedly: "Western religion is a big problem. I just want to cut off his luck and incense. It seems safer to use this name."

"Oh, cause and effect are going to be messed up here, and the trends in the world will be completely messed up."

Hongjun said slowly:

“Look at the many monsters and monsters in this world, but there are actually countless unseen dirts.

"The human race was created by Nuwa and followed the path taught by the sages. Therefore, the human race knows benevolence, etiquette, and rules. However, from ancient times to the present, most of the creatures in the world have not cared about these.

"The dead Taoist friends are not dead, the poor Taoist, the strong and powerful kill people and seize treasures without fear, this is the normal state of this world before.

“The way of heaven supports the human race, which is actually a major reason. It is not just the human race that contributes 90% of the power of the way of heaven.

"Do you really think that the so-called evil demons in this world are only trapped by Western religions?

"Just like, the first phoenix of the immortal volcano has Kong Xuan and the golden-winged Dapeng. The former swallows people without any calculation and is murderous. The latter is born with extreme speed and can go beyond anything. They adhere to ancient principles. Who is stronger? Everyone is right, killing people is too weak and they feel that they are not at fault.

"If such a master suddenly shows up, how will you father and son deal with it?"

Li Dazhi blinked.

Good guy, this old man is more preachy than him.

Li Dazhi hurriedly said: "I was obsessed for a moment, don't be surprised."

"Oh, it's fine now," Hongjun looked helpless, "My last chance was ruined by you... Please let me think about how to arrange everything here."

Li Dazhi stood respectfully beside him. He had passed the stage of confusion and his mind gradually became more active.

The most powerful man in the world, Master Hongjun, whom his son had discussed many times with, was surprisingly easy to talk to.

"If this old man is against me, he can crush me to death with one finger. He speaks so gently. Is there some plot here?" ’

Li Dazhi felt really uneasy. He stood aside for a moment and then asked in a low voice:

"You just talked about the trends between heaven and earth. What do you mean?"

"Huh?" Old Taoist Hongjun finished his thinking and said slowly, "The word "potential" is extremely complicated. I can only tell you that the current trend of heaven and earth has a certain set number and is constantly changing."

Li Dazhi was a little confused.

Master Hongjun sighed and continued:

"It's okay to say more to you. After all, after today, the world of prehistoric times will have nothing to do with me. I will just wait quietly in the sea of ​​chaos for the opportunity to transcend.

“I can’t get rid of my habit of being a teacher.

"You and your son have discussed several times why I am not in harmony with the Tao. You also said that I know what the world will be like after I merge with the Tao."

Li Dazhi:...

Hongjun said again: "I also know where you are from and why you are here... You don't know it yourself, right?"

Hongjun actually showed a faint smile.

The corners of Li Dazhi's mouth were twitching crazily.

"Then let me teach you a lesson."

Hongjun waved his sleeves, and a long light purple axis appeared in front of him. At one end of the long axis was a mass of gray aura.

"This is the Sea of ​​Chaos."

Hongjun pointed at the gray aura:

"The sea of ​​chaos exists. If you can completely transcend it, you will find that the word "chaos" is meaningless.

“It is born from nothingness, it is the ebb and flow of nothingness.

"It is actually inappropriate to say that it is opposite to nothingness, because nothingness is the real eternity, and the sea of ​​chaos will also change. Being and nothingness are not opposed, but they only exist in a certain sense, and existence should be included in nothingness."

The Sea of ​​Chaos sprayed out a ball of 'ink' along the purple line.

Li Dazhi tilted his head and looked at it. The ink suddenly swelled up and turned into a strong man with terrifying muscles, slashing forward with an axe.

The mass of ink separated up and down, turning into a boundless land and a vast blue sky, and then the strong man stood upright and died.

Li Dazhi said: "Pangu opened the sky?"

Subsequently, along this long axis, the world evolved rapidly, including the great catastrophe of dragons and phoenixes, the rise and decline of innate beings, the prosperity of hundreds of tribes who were descendants of innate beings, the creation of the ancient heaven, Nuwa's creation of humans, the war between lich and the witches, and the first human race. The rise was slaughtered, the Tianzhu collapsed and the floods flooded, the leaders held down the big black turtle and cut off its four legs to make Tianzhu to support the sky, and Nuwa mended the sky. The human race rose for the second time, the human and witch alliance conquered the ancient heaven, and hundreds of races ruled together. The Great Age, Chi You's Rebellion, the End of Ancient Times...

Hongjun said warmly: "Have you realized anything?"

"No," Li Dazhi spread his hands, "Isn't this the prehistoric history?"

Hongjun asked again: "Then think about it, why is this the history of the prehistoric era?"

Li Dazhi groaned a few times.

Hongjun suddenly said: "Don't mention any contradictory opposition and unity to me. I heard you deceived too many people."

"But this is the core."

Li Dazhi said seriously:

"I think that behind the retreat of dragons and phoenixes and the reproduction of some innate creatures is actually the redistribution of the resources of heaven and earth.

"The innate creatures gradually died out, and the hundreds of tribes they left behind rose rapidly. This is also the process.

"The Hundred Clans established the Ancient Heavenly Palace at its peak, and the Ancient Heavenly Palace represented the interests of most of the Hundred Clans. However, the Hundred Clans later had internal strife. The interests of Emperor Jun and Donghuang Taiyi were different from those of the Hundred Clans.

"Just like the emperor and the scholar-bureaucrat class, when a court was first established, everyone had common interests. Then the imperial family spread out and enjoyed privileges over the scholar-official class, and the interests of both parties became inconsistent.

“Even the current war between the human race and the hundreds of races actually repeats this process.

"This is the conflict caused by resources."

Hongjun smiled and said: "Then why do dragons and phoenixes fight and innate beings give birth to hundreds of tribes?"

He waved his sleeves, and long horizontal lines appeared in front of him, with slightly different seas of chaos connected to them, dozens in total.

Subsequently, these long axes spurted out 'ink' at the same time, and each Pangu with similar but slightly different shapes took shape, opening up the world. Then, the evolutions on these dozens of long axes were almost the same.

Datong is the general trend;

The small differences are individual.

Li Dazhi was confused: "What is this, senior?"

Hongjun said: "This is the tangible world that I have been able to observe so far, that is, the ancient world. They are in the underworld and have no interference with the world where you and I are. There are more that I cannot observe. .”

"Ah this?"

"Doesn't it feel ridiculous?"

Hongjun sighed softly:

"I also feel that it is ridiculous. Pangu is destined, and the creation of the world is also destined. All this seems to be destined in the sea of ​​chaos.

"With the collapse of a ray of breath in the sea of ​​chaos, our world will have one less mountain than other worlds.

"Just like fellow Taoist Pangu, all he can decide is which direction the ax should strike, but the result is that a similar world will be born, and he himself will perish.

“It’s as if he is driven by the avenue, because the long axis you see is the convergence of three thousand avenues.

“But is Dao Dao conscious?

"This is impossible, the avenue is just a rule.

“But the facts are right in front of you and me.

"The Qi Refiner is constantly practicing, trying to master the Dao. When he becomes an immortal, he establishes his own way. When he becomes a golden immortal, he relies on his own way to live forever. There is nothing unusual about this process, but the golden immortal moves forward to become Taiyi, and the Taiyi realm thinks To achieve perfection, one must gradually give up those parts of one's own path, and instead try one's best to conform to the path one first comprehended.

"What is Da Luo?

"Da Luo is the controller of a great road, such as the Dao of Clouds. When you cultivate the Dao of Clouds and produce the Da Luo Golden Immortal, this Da Luo Golden Immortal can in turn affect the Dao of Yun.

"Isn't this... the great road is giving itself spirituality?

"A long time ago, a Taoist friend always liked to say that I was a villain. I was different from other Hongjuns in the ancient world. I did not join the Tao. I just did things that benefited the world positively. Then, you see Look at this world.”

Li Dazhi opened his mouth.

He just felt like his mind was buzzing. Hongjun's words contained too much information.

For the time being, ignore those parts about heaven and earth that he couldn't quite understand.

Hongjun mentioned 'a fellow Taoist', and this 'fellow Taoist' said that Hongjun was a villain? Hongjun's failure to follow the Tao is to prove to this 'fellow Taoist' that if he doesn't follow the Tao, the world will develop in this direction?

What does this mean?

Who is the ‘fellow Taoist’?

"that……"

Hongjun sighed softly and motioned to Li Dazhi to take a closer look at the dozens of long axes lying between them.

He continued: "Let's see what the destination of these ancient worlds is."

Li Dazhi stared carefully, and the surging "ink" had reached the end of the long axis.

One by one, the heavens and the earth gradually extinguished and returned to silence, with a few stars jumping out of them.

Some of these stars are Hongjun who is similar to the old Taoist in front of him, some are the old man sitting on the Tai Chi diagram, some are the old, middle and young Taoists, and some are some strange creatures.

When these starlights passed, the heaven and earth seemed to be still evolving. After a long period of emptiness, the heaven and earth collapsed and sank into chaos, entering another shape of the sea of ​​chaos.

Every world has disappeared like this.

But two worlds survived. One world seemed to exist for a long time, and the other world was suddenly filled with golden light, turning into a giant, tearing apart the universe and disappearing.

"Look," Hongjun pointed to the disappearing world, "This is the only special case I have observed. Hongjun, who was in harmony with the Tao, led the world to achieve transcendence. Countless creatures died in the process, but the world and the surviving creatures avoided death. Destroy."

Li Dazhi: Is this guy trying to whitewash himself from other prehistoric worlds?

Hongjun smiled with satisfaction, and the world that seemed to exist for a long time quickly disappeared after several shocks.

Probably just like mortals, they have birth, old age, illness and death.

Heaven and earth remain.

Hongjun raised his eyebrows at Li Dazhi and breathed a sigh of relief:

"Sure enough, preaching to others makes you feel comfortable both physically and mentally. Do fellow Taoists understand this principle of transcendence?"

Li Dazhi nodded, shook his head, and said with a wry smile: "Senior, I am just a little ant in the Immortal Realm. I am still too far away from understanding this."

"It doesn't matter, just remember these. These may help this world."

Hongjun said warmly:

"I can't explain some issues to you, such as who the Taoist friend I made a bet with is. I can only say that that Taoist friend may become a problem for you and your son.

"For another example, how did you come here? Although I saw it with my own eyes, I can't tell you about it.

"In short, I like you father and son very much. I don't want to be an enemy of you father and son. I also want to see if you can reach the end of this world and create a prehistoric world that is different from the prehistoric worlds I have observed."

Li Dazhi cupped his hands and bowed.

He had given up thinking.

Hongjun threw out so much information at the slightest disagreement, which made his head buzz.

But Li Dazhi understood clearly that the Hongjun in front of him might have followed an alternative path because of his observations of other prehistoric worlds.

What is prehistoric?

Chaos is filled with eggs, Pangu creates the world, dragons and phoenixes are catastrophic, lichs are unable to have both, the human race rises after disasters, Nuwa mends the sky, anoints gods and travels to the west, and the world finally returns to its original state.

Faintly, Li Dazhi gained a lot of insights, but these insights are not used yet.

Hongjun sighed: "This is the only thing we can do. If Pindao comes back one more time, he will be involved in the cause and effect of this world."

Li Dazhi suddenly asked: "Senior, you have explained so much to this junior about the trends of the day and the earth."

"Ah, why are you so stupid? Don't you understand yet?"

Hongjun reluctantly pulled out the long shaft again, pointed to a node at the back, and said slowly:

"Mahayana Buddhism should have arisen here. If you forcefully change the destiny of Western Buddhism now, it will cause great cause and effect, and the later part of the long axis will collapse."

The back of the long axis suddenly collapsed, and a bit of gray aura appeared.

"When the situation is chaotic, there will be changes in the world. Now Li Ping'an is sailing smoothly with few disturbances, because he is in the middle of this general trend, leading the human race to establish a new heaven.

“Although it was a coincidence, he also spent a lot of effort to become a trend-setter.

"Why am I in such a hurry to show up today? I'm afraid you will ruin this great situation!"

"Hey," Li Dazhi nodded repeatedly, "I understand, I understand."

"Okay, don't blame yourself too much."

Hongjun took out a bluestone scroll from his sleeve and handed it to Li Dazhi.

Li Dazhi held it in both hands and felt that it was extremely heavy.

"Senior, what is this?"

"The Heavenly Book of Conferred Gods was born from ancient heaven and earth, and was picked up by Pindao," Hongjun said slowly, "This thing will be left in your charge. When Li Ping'an establishes the Heavenly Court, give him the Conferred Gods List, and you can look after the rest. manage."

Li Dazhi's hands trembled.

Hongjun said again: "Remember, if the heaven is not established, this thing will not come out, otherwise..."

"Big cause and effect," Li Dazhi nodded quickly, "Senior, don't worry, I will never do anything to ruin peace and stability. We can't cheat our own children."

Hongjun laughed and scolded: "I see you've done a lot of tricks, but it's quite interesting to have a child. I'll have one when I transcend."

Li Dazhi: I wonder if it would be so awkward to worship a foster father now.

Hongjun took out another oilcloth bag from his sleeve and handed it to Li Dazhi.

"Ah? Senior, what is this?"

"The book of life and death and the judge's pen," Hongjun said slowly, "were born in the ancient world and were picked up by poor Taoists. These things are also given to you. When the reincarnation of the Six Paths is established in the future, you will take this thing. Leave it to Li Pingan, and you can take care of the rest on your own."

Li Dazhi's legs trembled and he almost fell to his knees.

Hongjun warned: "Remember, if reincarnation is not established, this thing will not come out, otherwise..."

"Understood, big cause and effect."

Li Dazhi smiled bitterly and said:

"I am in the heavenly realm, if this thing, this thing is taken away."

"Oh hehehe," Master Hongjun stroked his beard and chuckled, "Then it has nothing to do with me. It's not my cause and effect anyway, hehehe."

Li Dazhi:...

"Oh, preaching is so comfortable. If I were to sit in the Zixiao Palace and preach to the creatures in the world for tens of thousands of years, I would never dare to imagine that feeling."

Hongjun murmured to himself, and his figure slowly disappeared.

"Fellow Taoist, take care."

"Senior, are you leaving now? I still have a lot of questions!"

Hongjun's figure quietly disappeared.

Li Dazhi held the oilcloth bag and the bluestone scroll and stood there for a long time, feeling his head buzzing. Then he sat down in the chair next to him and stuffed the two great causes and effects into his arms for storage. .

After a long time, Li Dazhi uttered a sentence:

"Damn it, it's a time of great diversity."
