With his fingertips dipped in tea, Ba Zunzhen drew a simple outline of a head on the table.
He was a middle-aged man, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, thick hair that was spread down his back, and a beautiful peak.
Xu Xiaoshou stared at the beautiful woman for a long time without saying a word.
Except for a cup of tea in front of each of the four people, there was no extra debris on the tea table. There were only three items that he just pushed out, but I regretted not taking them:
Mei Siren's fan gradually shook faster and faster.
When the whistling wind became harsh, he suddenly stopped and his movements relaxed again, becoming neither fast nor slow.
The quiet air was filled with anxiety.
Bazun Master touched it with his palm, and the faint traces of tea spread on the table, and it was quickly evaporated naturally.
Xu Xiaoshou smiled and looked at Kong Yuhen again:
"Brother Yuhen, you have many sides, don't you?"
Of course Kong Yuhen saw Bazun's little move, and also knew what Xu Xiaoshou meant by his words, and said calmly:
"People have many sides, I may or may not be myself."
Me or not me... The last time I heard this sentence was at Guizu's place. Is it a coincidence?
Xu Xiaoshou felt that a listening device was installed on his body. Maybe the problem lies in the Shi Zu Shadow Staff?
He didn't think much and continued with the question:
"Even if a person has multiple sides, usually only one side can be displayed at the same time."
"The last time I saw you, this time I saw you, even when I saw you a breath ago, and when I saw you again a breath later...what I saw always seemed different?"
He looked at Ba Zunzun, without concealing the little actions between each other, and took the initiative to say:
"I noticed something was wrong. I asked Ba Zun to paint you in his eyes. It is indeed very different from what I saw."
"There are so many you, which one is you?"
Xu Xiaoshou smiled slightly, and as he spoke, what flashed back in his mind was the indifferent look in Kong Yuhen's eyes he saw in the Dead Sea.
At that time, he thought that the friendly relationship between the two parties was over.
He never thought about seeing each other again. Kong Yuhen seemed to have forgotten what happened before, and acted as gentle as the meeting on Void Island.
——Is it the same person?
I hate looking at Xu Xiaoshou's drawings on his desk: a bearded man, a young man with a white face and no beard, and a jade-faced scholar's face, and chuckles:
"Does it matter?"
"Important." Xu Xiaoshou said firmly.
Kong Yuhen shook his head: "Then my answer is, I don't know why, maybe my state of mind is different, but if you look at me, it's not the case."
"No?"
"Yes, no." Kong Yuhen said thoughtfully, "If people are afraid, they will all be wolves and tigers; if they are good, they will be friendly; if they are suspicious, they will be feminine."
Xu Xiaoshou listened with squinted eyes and leaned back unconsciously.
The small wooden stool had no backrest, so he had to cross his arms with his chest, his eyes slightly closed, and his posture guarded, as if he was sitting on pins and needles.
At this time, he discovered that Kong Yuhen had indeed changed from what he remembered - only after his Yi Daopan became transcendental, he realized that every time he saw Kong Yuhen, his appearance and body shape had either subtle or major changes.
.
This time, Kong Yuhen grew up from a fair-faced, beardless, feminine man to a powerful man with deep eyes and a high nose.
He looks enigmatic, like Dao Qiongzang's half-twin brother - he doesn't look like him, but he feels like him.
Xian Yuhen took a sip of tea, put his fingers on his left cheek, tilted his head and looked with a smile:
"My thousand-faced self depends on how you see me."
This is so thought-provoking!
Mei Siren paused for a while, not realizing that he had taken out the wrong paper fan. He quickly shook his "Appearance" and spoke slowly in a calm voice:
"Let me have a taste..."
Xu Xiaoshou took a breath and felt his head hurt: "Teacher, the ancient and modern Wangyou Tower is not that grand, so there is no need to be so pretentious."
Well?
Mei Siren choked and turned around to glare at the traitor.
Isn't it that the ancient and modern Wangyou Tower you mentioned is the Divine Court of the Ancestors of Time? This empty hate is mysterious and not easy to deal with.
It was his first time here and he had no experience, but he still changed his mind:
"I have heard that there is a legend about the ancient Bodhi tree, which says, 'Under the Bodhi tree, I have a thousand faces, and I have achieved enlightenment and fruition through reincarnation in nine lives.'"
"The saying 'people have thousands of faces' is not a good thing in the world of spiritual refining. If you achieve enlightenment, if you observe the thousands of faces and cultivate yourself, you will not achieve enlightenment..."
He hesitated for a moment, and under the gazes of the three people, especially Kong Yuhen, he calmed down, regained his self in class, and said earnestly:
"Are you afraid that your Tao has been messed up, leading to self-disorder?"
Xu Xiaoshou looked surprised.
He thought that Mr. Siren was able to enter the Ancient and Modern Wangyou Tower because he was familiar with the Bazun, because he could not enter before.
But obviously, he, Xu Baer, doesn't have that much face.
Kong Yuhen pulled him in because Mr. Siren had reached this stage and Kong Yuhen also wanted something?
As expected, Meisi people's words fell silent.
In front of the tea table, the jade-faced scholar nodded his chin in his spare time, glanced away, and then offered a cup of tea and said politely:
"The old gentleman has a lot of experience, dare I ask the meaning of this statement?"
If these words came from Xu Xiaoshou, the first reaction of Mei Si people was that this guy was openly praising and covertly degrading, trying to harm himself in various ways!
But at this moment, he really saw in Kong Yuhen's eyes that he was asking for advice, seeking knowledge, and being serious.
He looked at Xu Xiaoshou.
Xu Xiaoshou's eyes were full of encouragement.
What are you talking about? Why are you encouraging me? I am your teacher... Mei Si was speechless and wanted to be silent, but after taking a long breath, she still chose to clear up Kong Yuhen's doubts:
"It's superficial and unlearned, it's just a little bit of humble opinion, don't take it seriously."
"However, there are all kinds of things in the world of mortals. I can't see them all, but I've seen only one-tenth of them. I've seen a lot of people like you."
After speaking for a moment, Mei Siren's eyes became more thoughtful, and he carefully considered his words and said: "Perhaps they are not as advanced as you in terms of spiritual realm, but these people have a distinctive... characteristic."
Features?
Something wrong?
Xu Xiaoshou took the initiative to correct Mr. Siren's wording. His eyes were in the air, and Mei and the two of them were looking at each other.
"May I ask, what are its characteristics?" Kong Yuhen asked sincerely for advice.
"Self-confinement."
Meisi people said definitely.
Autistic? Self-trapped? Constrained by oneself?
Xu Xiaoshou was thoughtful, looking at Kong Yuhen, feeling that what the teacher said was a bit appropriate.
This guy does feel a bit autistic, lonely, stubborn, living in his own world, and acting according to his own rules.
But the condition should not be that serious, and he can still talk to people and spread anxiety.
In the ancient and modern Wangyou Tower, everything can be forgotten - worry comes from it and cannot be cut off, and the owner of the building is no exception.
"May I ask, what do you mean by confining yourself?" I asked again when I had the time to spare.
Mei Siren shook his head now.
He didn't quite understand Kong Yu's hatred, he just read this feeling from the first scene and chose to speak out.
He couldn't give a definite answer. After all, he was just a sword instructor, not an old doctor.
He looked at Xu Xiaoshou: "This old student once said something that was quite enlightening. Maybe it will be the same for you."
"What are you talking about?"
"The super-Tao makes it easy, but it is difficult to distinguish oneself clearly."
As soon as these words came out, Xu Xiaoshou felt as if the clouds were clearing and the sun appeared, and he felt that the lingering shadow on Kong Yuhen's body had its roots.
This guy is in a "lost" state!
According to what the Eight Masters once said, every generation has one spare hate.
Then he may not only have experienced nine reincarnations, but he may have been reincarnated for tens of thousands of lives.
Could it be that because of endless reincarnations, Kong Yuhen wanted to achieve a certain result, and in the end even some of the goals of each generation of Kongyuhen were forgotten?
"Miscellaneous, dross, confusion..."
Xu Xiaoshou is currently experiencing all kinds of things in the world of mortals, and he understands.
Although he can still stick to his original intention, because those insights are too low level for him.
But after experiencing the lives of such high-level people as the Ten Lords, the Dragon Ancestor, and the Phoenix, he also had to spend a certain amount of time to calm himself down.
Otherwise, what you get will be like the above three words, not the essence, but all the dross.
The world of mortals can be used to cultivate the mind.
But the mind that has been cultivated is unlikely to be an innocent mind.
It is about getting out of the mud without being stained, but it may not necessarily reach such a state. It is another kind of high-level mind.
Is it possible that Xianyuhen is stuck on this last step? If he can't do it high, he can't do it low, right?
"Been taught a lesson……"
Across the tea table, Xian Yuhen was also thoughtful.
He lowered his head, thinking about something. After a long time, he had a helpless expression when he came back to his senses.
"Maybe?"
His tone was uncertain: "But it is difficult to clearly identify me. It is indeed difficult to clearly identify me. I don't know where I came from or why I am here. I only vaguely remember a rough idea of where I am going."
Mei Si is not a doctor, but he is very good at guiding students to the right path.
He did not "give" excessively, but captured the details in Qian Yu's words, giving him enough space to think before he spoke again, following the instructions:
"There are eight or nine unsatisfactory things in life. There are three ways to seek truth. You are lucky enough to get one of them, but you don't know where you are going?"
Kong Yuhen did not answer directly immediately, but took a serious look at this person who appeared on the stage, and remembered this person deeply:
"Old sir, if you have free time in the future, I will invite another gentleman to come into the building."
Say goodbye...
The people in Meisi froze in their movements of shaking the fan.
This time, Xu Xiaoshou was sitting next to him. Bazun was familiar with it. He knew that nothing could happen to him, and there was no way that anything could happen to him.
If you meet alone, you have a lot to worry about!
"Good." Mei Siren pursed her lips and smiled, the wind was light and the clouds were calm.
Only then did Kong Yuhen return to look at Xu Ba and the others, and said "where they were going" with a serious expression:
"The times and circumstances are what I like."
This serious tone made Xu Xiaoshou sit upright. Hearing this vigorous and vigorous man, who made people feel stressed just by looking at him, he spoke again:
"I'm inviting a few of you into the building this time, mainly because I have something to ask of you and I want to borrow the door from you."
Door?
Xu and Ba looked at each other and said something.
Xu Xiaoshou actually remembered that on Fusang's side, Dan Sheng Lu Shi and the Bing Sheng Tie Dazui had exchanged a few words with each other.
There is a Tower of Nothingness in the city where Buddha is born, and there may be a door on the top of the tower called the Gate of Nothingness.
The six ancient gates are further divided into: time and space, reincarnation, guidance, Taoism, secondary planes, and the gate of nothingness.
But I don’t know what the use of these six doors is, and what will happen when they are put together.
But no one can enter the Tower of Nothingness that Iron Big Mouth talks about, but the jade-faced scholar who can.
When Xu Xiaoshou heard this, he knew it was Qing Yuhen who was looking for a door.
Very good, we are here!
No, I'm looking for you!
Xu Xiaoshou raised his eyebrows. He knew that among the six ancient gates, there was a familiar secondary gate, which belonged to Lao Ba and came from Void Island.
The Eight Masters didn't respond, but asked: "The six ancient gates are related to the time and environment?"
"Maybe."
Kong Yuhen gave an ambiguous answer.
In this regard, Ba Zunzun didn't seem satisfied: "Maybe I don't have that door." He said firmly.
Laoba, you are so tough!
At the critical moment, we still have to look at Lao Ba... These words reminded Xu Xiaoshou of the arrogant words of this guy in the Heavenly Ancestor Divine Court on Void Island: "There is no genius like me in a hundred generations, and it will be difficult for a great person to come out in ten thousand years."
Obviously, if he didn't say something, he would never be able to give him a second chance.
Kong Yuhen smiled helplessly and could only take the initiative to explain to the three of them:
"Actually, I don't know what the time is, and whether the time can be traced back to the thirty-third heaven. I only know that I have to go and take this step."
"And the gates, the six ancient gates you mentioned are among my goals, and four of them have been collected."
As he spoke, he took off the four black ropes around his neck and spread them flat on the tea table.
Xu Xiaoshou looked around and found that the ends of the four black ropes were all tied with wooden door-shaped pendants, but the words on them were different. They were:
"Time and space, Taoism, guidance, nothingness..."
After chanting in a low voice, Xu Xiaoshou pointed to the Gate of Nothingness: "You got it from the top of the Tower of Nothingness in the City of Shengfutu?"
Kong Yuhen nodded.
"What is it used for?"
I couldn't help but hold on to the Gate of Nothingness, and the holy power poured in.
The wooden door-like pendant gave off a faint light, and soon, a door similar to the one seen on Void Island opened on the tea table, but it was only the size of a palm, and it was only filled with meaningless things - that is,
A translucent light door with a breath of nothingness.
"You three, please."
Xing Yu hated these words.
The faces of the three people at the tea table all changed.
But before they had time to refuse, several people felt that their surroundings had changed. The ancient and modern Wangyou Tower was no longer there, and they had arrived in another world.
"nothingness……"
This is a world of nothingness, no sky, no earth, no Tao, no nature.
There is nowhere to stand under my feet, nothing to rely on around me, not even my own existence...
Xu Xiaoshou looked at himself and could not see the existence of his body, spirit and mind. He became a "transparent person".
When I look inside myself, I can see that there are no internal organs, no spiritual energy sword thoughts, no air sea, no purple mansion, everything has disappeared.
He looked around and couldn't see the eight familiar people and Mei Si people. He even hated the three people accompanying him.
All people in this world of nothingness seem to have become nothingness and extremely fragile.
If someone could appear here, he could be crushed to death with one slap.
But the form of human beings here is nothingness, all living things are equal, and there is no situation where anyone can be crushed to death.
Even "struggle" has become "nothingness".
"Buzz!"
The mental fluctuations are once again disordered.
The flowers in front of Xu Xiaoshou were illusory, and he returned to the ancient and modern Wangyou Tower. He saw the eight acquaintances and Meisi people, all of whom had strange reactions as if they had returned to consciousness.
"nothingness……"
He thought about these two words seriously, but found nothing.
"This is the Gate of Nothingness. Simply going to the world of nothingness has no meaning. Only by supplementing it with the other five gates, we may be able to build a brand new world." Kong Yuhen said.
That is, time and context?
Xu Xiaoshou felt a muffled thunderclap in his chest and was severely shaken.
The ambition of the time realm is too high, and to build such a world that can be traced back to the thirty-third level of the heaven realm, how can it be humanly possible?
Kong Yuhen, what the hell are you doing...
"You've become stronger."
Ba Zunzhen spoke calmly and noticed details that several people had ignored. Xu Xiaoshou suddenly woke up.
Just now, Kongyuhen was infused with the Holy Power into the Gate of Nothingness, and he had mastered the Holy Power.
Moreover, there is a faint aura of the vicissitudes of time in its holy power, which should be no less than the power of the ancestral source. It is...
"The power of the Ancestor of Time?"
Xu Xiaoshou raised his brows and asked in confusion: "Where did you get the power of the Ancestor of Time?"
The Shadow Staff of the Time Ancestor given by Kong Yuhen contains the power of the Time Ancestor.
The space and time attributes he used before had a similar flavor, but it was never as strong as it is now.
Not only did he become a saint, he might have reached the realm of the Holy Emperor, and he even gained the power of the Time Ancestor. He had reached the final step.
Next, it should be...
Call the gods and ancestors?!
Kong Yuhen shook his head again: "I don't know where the ancestral power comes from. I only know that I will take it step by step. After collecting the four gates..."
He stretched out his hand, shook it gently, and murmured to himself: "The power is coming back..."
Flooding back?
Instead of pouring out?
Facing Kong Yuhen, Xu Xiaoshou carefully considered every word. Does this mean that he had the power of ancestors before, but now he just lost it and regained it?
Xu Xiaoshou deeply implemented the principle of asking questions when he was confused. He put his hands on the tea table and stared at him:
"Kong Yuhen, you are the ancestor of time, right?"
