The voice gradually became clearer, and the vision in front of me changed from darkness to brightness. Looking up, I saw an old man with white hair and beard sitting on the boulder by the stream. He was wearing linen gray clothes and a wooden hairpin in his bun. He sat cross-legged.
There is also a crutch with a nine-curved dragon head on his lap.
What a fairy-like spirit and demeanor!
Looking around, there are sparse trees and numerous rocks. Waterfalls descend from mountain streams, gather into pools, and overflow into streams, trickling and crystal clear. In the distance, there are undulating mountains, blue sky and white clouds, and the sun is not visible but it is as bright as day. Listen carefully.
, you can still vaguely hear the chirping of birds and animals in the mountains.
Turning his head and looking around, Fei Jingting finally came to his senses when he caught a glimpse of the farmyard at the foot of the mountain. He had been to this small world before.
Looking up at the old god in front of him, Fei Jingting cupped his hands and said, "How do you call him?"
The old god stretched out his crutch and tapped the square dance amplifier behind him, and said with a smile: "Just call me Lao Tao."
In the perception of the soul, although the old god had restrained his aura, he could still sense the terrifying aura. It seemed that it was the monster that rushed out from the brand on his palm to devour the world a few days ago.
Fei Jingting secretly wondered, could this guy be actually a demon cultivator?
"Old Tao?"
Lao Tao stood up and took a step forward. The clothes he wore suddenly changed into a large tank top, beach shorts and flip-flops. The crutch in his hand also changed its appearance. It looked like a horse crutch specially prepared for the elderly.
Fei Jingting was speechless for a while, then Old Tao said: "Isn't it more pleasing to the eye like this?"
"Just do whatever you want."
Lao Tao chuckled twice and said: "I know you have a lot of thoughts, I'm afraid you are still thinking about how to escape. Don't worry, I have a big plan, and you, a little fairy, won't let it go.
In the eyes."
Fei Jingting was not Wu Xia Amen, so how could he believe whatever the other party said? He immediately handed over his hand and said, "I don't dare."
Old Tao shook his head and said nothing more. He pointed his crutch down the mountain and led the way, with Fei Jingting slowly following behind.
After walking for a while, Lao Tao said: "I know you have a lot of doubts in your mind. If you have anything to ask, please ask. I will tell you everything I know."
"Oh, may I ask who exactly Lao Tao is?"
Old Tao paused, glanced at Fei Jingting and said: "This is a long story... Well, how should I start? You have also been to the realm of nothingness, do you know that there is a sky beyond the sky?"
Fei Jingting nodded.
"That's right. You came here a hundred years ago and have watched many science fiction movies. You can understand multi-dimensional universes, parallel time and space, etc. even if you think about it."
Fei Jingting was stunned for a while. Lao Tao's style of painting has changed too quickly, right? Just now he had a fairy-like style, but now he's talking about multi-dimensional universes and parallel time and space?
Old Tao scratched his head and said: "In short, the void world connects all realms. Not only does the soul of people return to the void world after death, but also the souls of other worlds return to this place after death."
Fei Jingting was startled for a moment, and after hearing the string, he knew what it meant, and immediately said: "You mean, you are from another universe?"
"Hey, it's fun to talk to smart people, that's what I mean." Old Tao continued to walk forward and said: "The world where I came from is full of monsters and the strong are kings. Monsters are just instinctive cultivation, and those who can
The virtues you cultivate all depend on God's will. I was very lucky. I practiced for thousands of years in confusion and finally realized the magical power. After another hundreds of years, I finally understood the mystery of the void world, broke through the gaps and ascended."
Fei Jingting thought to himself, it seems that this old Tao is a monster and has not escaped.
"When I arrived at the realm of nothingness, I saw that I had plenty of ideas, and there were balls of light swallowed randomly everywhere. I didn't know how powerful they were, so I started to eat them. Who would have thought that I had swallowed so many balls of light that I almost forgot who I was.
"
Fei Jingting twitched the corner of his mouth. When he first arrived in the void world, he almost swallowed those light balls indiscriminately.
Lao Tao continued: "Later I realized something was wrong, and after a lot of effort, I cut off most of the body, so I finally didn't go crazy. Most of my soul was cut off, and my realm fell, so I came out of the void world.
I escaped from the world. Unexpectedly, what I went to was not the original world, but the human world."
After a pause, Lao Tao said with some distress: "Having understood the abundance of spiritual ideas in the void world, I naturally looked down on the thin spiritual ideas in the human world. I was eager to return to the void world, but was too slow to absorb the spiritual ideas, so I focused on those monks.
On the body.
Later, I became a public enemy. Shun gathered monks from all over the world, ambushed me, and sealed me in a bronze mirror."
Shun...wait! Fei Jingting suddenly recalled the record of Zuozhuan: Shun and Yao were guests of the four gates, and flowed into the four evil tribes, Hun Chao, Qiong Qi, Yong Tiao, Taotie, and threw themselves into the four descendants to ward off Chi Mei.
This old Tao's magical power seems to be about swallowing, so he couldn't be the legendary glutton, right?
"Old Tao... aren't you just a glutton?"
"Huh? It seems so, but they all called me Roe Owl at the time."
Fei Jingting was astonished that the story recorded in the ancient art was true!
Old Tao seemed to be caught up in ancient memories. After walking for a while, he entered the village. He stopped in front of a small farmhouse and said: "Oh, you interrupted me and I forgot where you were talking about... I just mentioned the bronze mirror."
,Yes, that’s right, it’s the bronze mirror you picked up before.”
Fei Jingting hurriedly asked: "Isn't that bronze mirror from a well-known background?"
"It's not small. Those magicians call it the Kunlun Mirror."
Kunlun Mirror... Good guy, no wonder it can travel through time and space.
"In short, I am trapped in the Kunlun Mirror and cannot get out. If I want to get out, I can only follow the rules set by those guys - kill a hundred thousand evil spirits.
Tsk, but there are so many evil spirits in this world? I have been in the mirror for thousands of years. Until I meet you, the outside world has long been cut off. Let alone monsters, there is not even a ghost. After all, I have been here for thousands of years.
It’s not in vain, but the prohibition of this broken mirror allowed me to break through it a little bit. In this way, after losing some cultivation, I finally broke through the void world, and then fell from the void world, which brought you here.
world."
Fei Jingting pondered for a while, the Taotie's words just now contained a lot of information.
Break the ban, break through the void world with all your strength, and then fall from the void world.
Fei Jingting said doubtfully: "Um...Old Tao, didn't you activate the Kunlun Mirror and go back to the past?"
"Huh?" Old Tao blinked and said: "What nonsense are you talking about? Reversing time, let alone this broken mirror, even if you use up all the inspiration in the void world, you can't do it. Do you know what time is? Time is matter.
The eternal movement of things, the continuity of change, and the performance of order. The entire universe is changing all the time. How much energy does it take to really reverse time? If you have this ability, you will have already understood the secrets of heaven and opened up a new world."
"Uh... you make sense." Fei Jingting was speechless. He was taught a lesson in physics by a monster. What kind of thing is this?
"Then according to your opinion, this world has little to do with my original world?"
Old Tao said dissatisfied: "Tsk, I said you were a smart person before. Isn't this obvious? I have said it a long time ago, multi-dimensional universe, parallel time and space."
"Oh, then you continue."
Old Tao pushed open the door of the farmhouse, entered the inner room, stretched out the crutch in his hand and turned it into a horse, sat down and said: "What else can you say? I've almost said it all. I just happened to take you with me when I broke through the void."
Up here. The situation in this world is only a little better than your original world. I felt that I couldn't sit still and wait for death, so I simply developed a system that allows you to kill monsters everywhere. Although you are too suspicious.
, but my luck is good, I have encountered many evil spirits and ghosts in recent years."
"what do you mean……"
"The meaning is very simple. The ban on broken mirrors has almost been lifted." Lao Tao looked at Fei Jingting and said: "When you cultivate the Tao body this time and ascend into the void world, I will part ways with you."
Fei Jingting thought for a while, then cupped his hands and said, "That's it, congratulations."
Lao Tao waved his hand: "You're being hypocritical, I'm afraid you want me to get out of here soon. Do you still have any problems? If you don't have any problem, just go back and practice hard."
"Um...you developed the system?"
Old Tao became interested and said: "Although your world has no ideas, it is still very exciting. I read a few programming books and fiddled around for a while, but I actually came up with a system. Unfortunately, there were too many bugs, so I simply stopped working.
It’s gone. I’m too lazy to continue playing with it, so I just let it go.”
Fei Jingting thought for a while and then asked: "What about the Jinmen Little World..."
Old Tao said calmly: "Of course he was swallowed by me, otherwise where would I have the magic power to break through the void world?"
Fei Jingting was stunned.
Old Tao said again: "Not only half of Jinmen, but also your body was swallowed by me. Later, I reshaped your body. Otherwise, where do you think you got your bones?"
I see!
…………………………
In May, Feng Yuxiang went to war with the Zhili and Shanxi-Sui armies, and the fight was fierce. On the 20th, the Northern Expedition Pioneer Independent Regiment entered southern Hunan.
In June, the Independence Regiment captured You County and won the first battle of the Northern Expedition. The next day, Chang became the commander-in-chief of the Northern Expedition.
On July 4th, the Kuomintang issued a declaration for the Northern Expedition and vowed to fight for the Northern Expedition on the 9th.
In the next two months, the Northern Expeditionary Army gained momentum and marched forward with great success. In September, Feng Yuxiang simply changed his banner and joined the Northern Expeditionary Army. This move greatly increased the momentum of the Democratic Party!
Previously, many people were worried, feeling that the Northern Expedition was too early and would make it difficult to control the warlords' power. Suddenly, the tide turned, and many knowledgeable people saw the warlords' bluff.
In the past few months, Marshal Zhang had consulted with Fei Jingting overtly and covertly, sometimes through Hu Qigu, and sometimes in person. However, Fei Jingting had been practicing in seclusion, and Marshal Zhang had never found out anything.
But it is conceivable that Lao Zhang must have panicked. It’s no wonder that Lao Zhang panics. Feng Yuxiang is difficult enough to deal with, and now he adds the Northern Expedition. Sun Chuanfang in the south has been defeated in many battles. If he really loses to the Northern Expedition
army, then Lao Zhang would have to face the Northern Expeditionary Army directly.
Lao Zhang swallowed up such a large territory, how could he have time to digest it in less than two years? If there was a war, maybe all the previous plans would be wasted.
In November, the bad news came that Sun Chuanfang's main force was wiped out by the Northern Expeditionary Army. Now, Lao Zhang's worries came true.
Lao Zhang simply went to Jinmen in person, summoned the forces of various factions, and negotiated to deal with Feng Yuxiang and the Northern Expeditionary Army. The warlords who are in disarray will not be able to unite. If they do not unite, the warlords will be eliminated one by one by the Northern Expeditionary Army.
It was also at this time that Fei Jingting broke through the barriers and cultivated the Taoist body.
As soon as he opened his eyes, Fu Yunzhao pushed the door straight in. He blinked, looked at Fei Jingting and said, "Brother Jingting, you finally broke through. Why did it take so long this time?"
Fei Jingting smiled and said, "Something went wrong, but I finally became a Taoist."
The Diyuan Pill was only effective for about three months, so Fei Jingting had actually cultivated the Taoist body long ago. For the remaining two months, he had been practicing the Heavenly Eye Technique in seclusion.
To advance from the Yin and Yang Eyes to the Heavenly Eyes is a different situation. A conversation with Lao Tao solved a lot of doubts in Fei Jingting's mind, but how could Fei Jingting dare to believe everything Lao Tao said?
It was too bad to feel that one's life was in human hands and there was no way to escape. Fei Jingting secretly thought that the gap between him and Lao Tao was too big. Most of his methods came from Lao Tao, and he thought he would be unable to deal with him. Only this Heavenly Eye Technique,
If you can practice successfully, you can't say how much more you will get.
However, he practiced day and night, but he only reached the middle stage of cultivating the Heavenly Eye. He was still far away from the Wisdom Eye.
Fu Yunzhao breathed out a sigh of relief and said: "It's okay, it's okay, luckily everything turned out to be good. Brother Jingting doesn't know how worried Sister Guan and Sister Ni have been in the past few months."
"Heh, what about you?"
Fu Yunzhao stared and said, "I know you're fine, so there's no need to worry."
After rubbing Fu Yunzhao's head, the latter simply sat down next to him. Fu Yunzhao said: "Brother Jingting, since you have cultivated the Taoist body, when will you take us to heaven?"
"There is no rush, there are still some unfinished responsibilities."
"Any more?"
"Yes." Fei Jingting nodded. Apart from other things, he had promised to save Marshal Zhang's life that day, and the matter in the Western Regions had not yet been settled.
It's just that history has changed, Zhang Dashuai's strength has not been lost, and the Japanese have no chance to force Lao Zhang to sign a messy agreement. So will the Japanese blow up Lao Zhang's train?
Not to mention whether Lao Tao can allow himself to delay for two years, I am afraid that after a long time, Lao Tao will definitely not do it.
Fu Yunzhao was a little disappointed. This girl was only thinking about going to the realm of nothingness. So she pouted and said: "Brother Jingting, you can't wait for decades and kill everyone you know before ascending, right?
"
"It won't take that long," Fei Jingting said: "Since Wei Jiang can use the art of false form to create a clone, I should be able to do it too."
"Eh? Then what are you waiting for? Quickly kill the clone."
"Why are you so anxious? Let me rest for a while. By the way, is there anything going on at home recently?"
"No," Fu Yunzhao said as if he suddenly remembered something, "Little Anding is getting more and more naughty. Yesterday he sneaked into the kitchen and ate most of the sugar in the sugar jar."
