The first thousand five hundred and sixty-eight chapters
Time overlap?
Isn't it an afterimage of time?
Although the Time Beast said that the time afterimage would only appear when he entered the time realm again, but from the moment he saw Gu Zhao who had resurrected after self-destruction, Liu Qinghuan began to suspect that he was a time afterimage.
Nowadays, Lian Xuzi says that they are overlapping images, and with just one word difference, there must be some difference between the two.
But what surprised Liu Qinghuan even more was that Lian Xuzi could see the difference between him and Gu Zhao at a glance, and he also knew about the outside world and knew that he came from outside.
Perhaps his surprise was too obvious, and Lian Xuzi already guessed the answer without having to answer, so he sent another message: "We'll talk about it later." Then he turned to talk to Gu Zhao and Duanmu Zhifeng.
Liu Qinghuan raised his eyebrows, temporarily put away his questions, and just stood aside to listen to the three of them chatting, and then followed the three of them up the mountain.
Looking at Lian Xuzi's back, he couldn't help but fall into deep thought: The other party chose to transmit the sound into the secret. It was obvious that he was concerned about the other two people present and didn't want them to discover the truth?
However, isn’t Lian Xuzi himself just a reflection of time?
Secretly sizing up the other person, he found that unlike the portraits of the old man he had seen in ancient books, Lian Xuzi looked very young at this time, with a tall and slender figure, and his cultivation was in the late Mahayana period.
The real Lian Xuzi was a monk from ancient times who had already ascended to the immortal path, and could not only have the Mahayana cultivation level.
Then there is a question, since they are both time shadows, why did Lian Xuzi know the truth and see his identity at a glance, but Gu Zhao and Gu Zhao were not aware of it, and they did not even notice that there was anything wrong with the surrounding situation.
What's more, Gu Zhao has a bright and cheerful temperament and is a very hospitable person. Not only is he close to Duanmu Zhifeng, who once had a big fight, as if they were the same person, but he is also extremely warm to Lian Xuzi.
The conversation was extremely speculative.
Although Liu Qinghuan was sitting on the right side of Gu Zhao, the other person seemed to ignore him unconsciously. Occasionally, when the two of them looked at each other, they would suddenly think of him and talk to him for a few words, but then they would forget about it as soon as they turned around.
Liu Qinghuan didn't feel dissatisfied and poured himself a glass of wine slowly, sometimes looking at the clouds and mist in the mountains outside the pavilion in trance.
Meeting Lian Xuzi in the Time Overlay Realm was something he never expected. This powerful man from ancient times could be regarded as his guide to the path of immortality. Although the Sutra of Sitting and Forgetting the Immortality only contains the mind before the transformation stage.
However, it laid an extremely solid foundation for him, and the benefits cannot be described in four words.
Later, he used this method to create the Kongjie Mind Technique, and also practiced the other party's technique, Infinite Divine Light.
Therefore, even though he has never met the other party, he has to count on the other party's kindness.
Calculated in this way, the seeds of cause and effect have been planted long ago, and now meeting each other in the time overlap seems to make sense.
Thinking of this, Liu Qinghuan slowly raised his head and looked at Lian Xuzi sitting opposite.
At this time, it was already the middle of the moon and after three rounds of wine, Duanmu Zhifeng temporarily left the table for some unknown reason. Gu Zhao also walked outside the small pavilion and was explaining matters to several waiters.
Lian Xuzi also looked over. After a while, he stood up with a glass of wine and motioned for Liu Qinghuan to follow.
The two of them walked to the pavilion railing, with flying rock cliffs at their feet and a huge full moon above their heads, casting cool moonlight.
Lian Xuzi raised his cup to Yue, and a ray of bright light fell into the cup. However, he put the cup aside and asked casually: "What are you practicing my mind method?"
Liu Qinghuan paused, thought for a moment, took the disciple's bow, held his hands together above his head, and bowed deeply.
"Yes! The grace of my predecessors has benefited thousands of generations. When I was a child, I was lucky enough to receive a book called the Sutra of Forgetting the Immortality, which opened the path to Taoism."
There was a chuckle above the head, and Lian Xuzi said: "You are very clumsy. I have never accepted a disciple like you. Why don't you get up?"
Liu Qinghuan then straightened up and said respectfully: "The teacher who leads the way will never be forgotten!"
Lian Xuzi shook his head helplessly: "It's up to you. Let me ask you, the outside world has changed the world now, what year and what night is it?"
Liu Qinghuan calculated the time and said: "Before I entered the Time Overlay Realm, I lived in the Human Zodiac for 261 years. So far, I have stayed in the Overlay Realm for about six hundred years, which is twenty years when converted to outside time, so
It's probably 281 outside now."
Lian Xuzi lived in the ancient world of immortality and was very unfamiliar with today's calendar, so he asked: "What about the Great Desolate Calendar?"
The Great Wilderness Calendar is calculated from the ancient world of immortality, before the collapse of the primitive continent, and the numbers are terrifyingly large.
So Liu Qinghuan just said: "Senior, your era is called the ancient world of immortality by today's monks. It has been more than a million years ago."
Lian Xuzi was surprised and sighed: "It's been so long... No wonder I feel more and more weak, and I think it's almost time for the traces of time to completely dissipate."
"Traces of time?"
"Back then, I accidentally entered this place, and the traces of time left behind when I left overlapped into a shadow, which is me." Lian Xuzi pointed at himself.
Liu Qinghuan realized something: "You mean, the difference between time overlap and afterimage lies in the depth of the traces left?"
"Have you talked to the Time Beast?" Lian Xuzi said clearly: "Yes, the deeper the trace, the longer the shadow will last. Similarly, if it is too shallow, it will only turn into an afterimage and cannot actively appear in front of people..."
The mystery of time and the overlap here cannot be explained clearly in a few words. Lian Xuzi patiently explained it to him, but Liu Qinghuan only half understood it after hearing the end.
He asked his biggest doubt: "Then why do the two of us, Gu Zhao, seem to have no idea that we are actually Daoduoying, but you, senior, are so clear-headed and can tell that I am different from you at a glance?"
"It's not Gu Zhao and Gu Zhao." Lian Xuzi looked at the other end of the pavilion and said, "Everything that happened here was caused by Gu Zhao alone. His overlapping image is a memory, so he kept repeating that memory.
, the perception of other things will be reduced to a minimum.”
"That's too tragic. He keeps repeating the experience of self-destruction..." Liu Qinghuan suddenly reacted: "Wait, you said it was a memory? Could it be that he didn't die after self-destruction?"
"certainly."
"How is this possible!" Liu Qinghuan was shocked.
"Why not? Not only did he not die, even Tai Zhu didn't die in the end." Lian Xuzi said with a smile: "Because Tai Zhu knew an immortal method called Returning Wind and Returning Fire, which is one of the thirty-six methods of Tiangang."
"Returning to the wind and returning to the fire!"
Liu Qinghuan himself knows how to stand upright and knows very well how defiant the Thirty-Six Immortals of Tiangang are.
To a certain extent, returning to the wind and returning to the fire is even more counter-intuitive than standing upright, because this method can rewind something that is happening back to a time before the situation is irreversible.
He was still in shock when he heard Lian Xuzi say again: "As for how I can understand the truth, it is also because among the thirty-six Dharma, there is one Dharma called Returning to Heaven and Returning to the Sun."
