The wind blew through the ruins, picking up particles of dust and flying in front of people's eyes.
The figure who answered simply gave a low laugh, rolled up his sleeves, crossed his legs and took a deep breath, recovering from his injuries. There were also words coming from his mouth.
"Zhenjun, you can't kill me."
Chen Yuan looked at him without saying a word. Master Wuyuan closed his eyes and adjusted his breathing, and continued: "The gods and Buddhas in the sky will not let you kill me, so you are the one to avenge the hatred of the common people and the toad demon."
It’s impossible.”
"Why?"
Master Wuyuan knew what Chen Yuan was asking. After a moment of silence, he opened his eyes. His expression no longer looked contemptuous. He stood up after gathering his breath, walked down the broken stone steps, and took out a broken piece of white rock.
Take it in your hand.
"Zhenjun, you and I are actually just like this piece of rock, each of us has its own use."
The moment the fragments slipped from your fingers and fell to the ground, they turned into complete stone slabs together with other fragments and were embedded in their original positions.
"As I have said before, the mediocre cycles of life in this world have their uses, whether they are working, hunting, being an official, being a merchant, practicing, haha... they are all related to the movement of heaven and earth.
one."
He looked at Chen Yuan: "The same goes for you and me."
Chen Yuan did not move, but slowly closed his eyes. The other party's words were very cryptic, but not difficult to understand. They were telling Chen Yuan that he also came with a mission.
After a while, Master Wuyuan's words came again.
"True Lord, the world will collapse in the future, and many people will die in the catastrophe. The True Lord is here, but I can no longer see the True Lord."
Chen Yuan raised her eyelids: "Am I going to die?"
Master Wuyuan did not answer or deny, but just said: "I have seen what will happen in the future, but I can't say much about it. But Zhenjun may already know that the gods have disappeared, right?"
When Chen Yuan arrived, she felt somewhat convinced.
I have never interacted with him in the past, and my cultivation level is very high. There is no need to make enemies with a toad demon, let alone use the lives of the people of a town as a game.
Then only what he said is true.
"It's not that they don't want to come down, it's that they can't, and it's even worse when they get there, so I came here with the help of something and their help. I just want to set up variables that will change the future."
Chen Yuan asked what the change was, but considering it was something in the future, the Master of Five Elements probably wouldn't say anything.
As soon as the topic changed, he asked: "What is it?"
"The thing hanging from the waist of the True Lord."
Chen Yuan was stunned for a moment, then looked down at his waist. What he held in his hand was the Kunlun Mirror. Suddenly, he understood what Nezha had said before in front of the Five Elements Mountain.
And when time and space overlapped at that time, why did Erlang Shen Yang Jian look at Wen Zhong's expression?
"It turns out that when the Kunlun Mirror was used, Grand Master Wen also released you. No wonder time and space became chaotic... completely inconsistent with expectations."
Master Wuyuan smiled, but did not agree.
"The true king is wise and thorough, and can be revealed at a glance."
"From the beginning to the end, the causes and consequences are actually a game of chess that has been laid out long ago." Every path was clear, and Chen Yuan suddenly understood that when he defeated Yan Ren, the other party had always said that those gods could not be trusted.
But if it was for a more important disaster, Chen Yuan would not be angry. It would be okay to just be a chess piece, but Master Wuyuan's next words made him fall into silence.
"What Zhenjun said is right. The chess game has indeed been laid out for a long time. However, how the game will be played in the end and whether the final outcome of the game will be won or lost is unknown to you or me. But the result I want is good."
"can not say."
"Can."
Master Wuyuan suddenly raised his hand, and his open five fingers instantly grabbed the vigilant old cow over there. Before he could shout and roar, his expression fell into a dull state. The moment he opened his mouth, there was the voice of Master Wuyuan on the side.
"I came here with my own selfish motives. My path has come to an end. I can't turn the tide for the country. I didn't die as a filial piety to my parents. I am a son of man in vain. I came to this world because I want to change this world.
his destiny
Send it to another road."
"Where are those gods?"
"Haha... This is just a business deal with them. True Lord only needs to know that when the world is overturned and the world is in chaos, more and more people in the world will seek immortality and Buddhism, and they will live as long as heaven."
"You each take what you need. They help you come back, guide the disaster, and help them come to the world, and you can also fulfill your selfish desires and reshape another you. So the law of heaven has been searching for you and driving you away."
Master Wuyuan nodded and shook his head.
"I am not leading the disaster, but preventing it." Niu Tou raised his head to the sky and pointed upward, "What they want is chaos, not destruction of the world, let alone a barren land. They also need people's admiration.
We need people’s incense.”
Chen Yuan looked at Master Wuyuan over there in silence, and swallowed back any questions he wanted to ask.
It turns out that Yanren and Zuyi are just prerequisites, and the purpose is not to return that world to this side, but to control the Kunlun Mirror.
"No wonder the dignified Lei Zu came down so early."
"Use the divine mirror to incorporate this Master of Five Elements to accomplish their next goal. This is the second step."
"Then what's the third step? Is to let the disasters that will come in the future turn the world into chaos and destroy the barrier between heaven, earth and man, so that they can manifest themselves as saints in the mortal world and descend to earth in their true form?"
"Then if I kill this Master of Five Elements, will this game of chess be disrupted?"
As soon as this thought flashed through, Chen Yuan threw it away. Just trying to kill the other party with his cultivation level was obviously not feasible. Moreover, the other party also said just now that he was not leading the disaster, but was trying to kill him.
If it were Chen Yuan who stopped it, he would have no idea what the disaster was and when it would come.
"You and I are both pawns."
After a long time, Chen Yuan sighed, stood up from the stone steps, went over to cut off the opponent's power, and then walked straight to the mountain gate with the old cow who regained consciousness.
"I am already clear about this matter, but the matter between the people of Luohe Town and the toad demon still needs to be settled. From now on, Master Wuyuan, you are not allowed to leave the five-mile radius of Wuse Village. What you have to do is
Do it here. If I find you leaving, don't forget that the Kunlun Mirror is still in my hand. I can still reverse time and space."
Behind the departing figure, Master Wuyuan lowered his head slightly and said, "Best farewell to the True Lord."
"Master."
After a while, Qingfeng stumbled over and said, "They have left."
Master Wuyuan nodded, looked at the ruins around him, raised his hand, and the fallen pine tree grabbed the soil and straightened it back up. The collapsed, broken attic, and corridor seemed to be turned upside down, and they stood back up again. Even the broken tiles and white rock floor tiles on the ground were restored one by one and returned to their place.
In an instant, the dilapidated Wuse Village transformed back into its original Taoist temple with an air of immortality.
"Go back and do your homework."
Master Wuyuan patted the little Taoist boy on the head, looked at the mountain gate for the last time, flicked the fly whisk, and walked back into the main hall. The heavy door leaf closed heavily with a soft "squeak".
…
At the bottom of the mountain, Chen Yuan rode on the back of the green bull that had transformed into its original form, and went all the way down to the foot of the mountain. His expression was not very good.
