In the 5200th year of Emperor Lu's New Calendar, Lu Cheng completed the seventh step of enlightenment, and his skill was one step closer to an unprecedented level.
With his current skill, just by stretching out a few fingers, he can move the stars, causing the New World to divide and reunite, and achieve the reversal of "ten days across the sky, hundreds of birds facing the phoenix".
But he can't do this, because there are some restrictions from heaven that prevent him from playing with the stars as he pleases.
The entire universe is controlled by the Chaos Green Lotus. Whether it is humans or monsters, gods, demons or mountain spirits and water monsters, they are all affected by the Chaos Green Lotus. The great god and demon Pangu at that time was so powerful that he dominated the world. After the creation of the world, he was affected by it.
The backlash fell. Many subsequent emperors, including Emperor Jun and Donghuang Taiyi, although they were gods from far away, they were also affected by the Chaos Qinglian after coming to this universe. In order to pursue freedom, they resolutely
He fought but ended up falling.
As a human saint, Lu Cheng is more independent than gods and demons, but as his skills continue to improve, he feels the constraints of heaven becoming stronger and stronger.
It is also very sad to say. All living beings, countless monks, everyone is working hard to realize their ideals and pursue freedom. However, no matter how hard they work, no matter how far they grow, even if they are immortal kings and emperors, even if they are seven-step enlightenment
No saint can truly escape the shackles of heaven.
Lu Cheng felt that kind of desolation, like a traveler who has traveled thousands of miles. The more he walked, the more lonely he felt. The dead vines and old trees were dim, the crows were dim, the small bridges were flowing and people were living, the sun was setting in the west, and the heartbroken people were at the end of the world.
This sense of loneliness is one of the key factors that restricts the saints. Its existence is like a spring silkworm in the dark night, constantly squirming, biting people's hearts bit by bit, making the "immortality" of the saints a joke.
Therefore, Lu Cheng convened a meeting with family descendants to discuss "how to get rid of the shackles of heaven."
The pursuit of freedom is the ultimate ideal of mankind. Getting rid of bondage is the dream of every monk.
To achieve this, there are only two ways. Either continue to practice, and after completing the eight steps of enlightenment, challenge the Chaos Green Lotus to see if you can kill it; or "break away" and pull the
The thin thread of law behind him and the dragnet surrounding him were cut off.
Pangu, Emperor Jun and Donghuang Taiyi's resolute challenge belongs to the former; Taishang Laojun's killing of emotions and nature, Taishang forgetting emotions, and the Buddha's saying that the four elements are all empty, and the accumulation of suffering and the destruction of the Tao, belong to the latter.
Cutting off the Chaos Green Lotus is equivalent to what Nietzsche said: "God is dead."
"God is dead" has two sides and is not entirely a good thing.
Because of the existence of the laws of heaven, this world has laws to follow. For example, if Newton's three laws completely fail, what will the world look like?
If God dies, not only God will die, but all values will need to be revalued. Until the reconstruction of the cosmology is completed, mankind will remain under the shadow of nothingness.
Therefore, not to mention that Lu Cheng cannot cut the Chaos Green Lotus for the time being. Even if he has the ability to cut it into pieces, he does not necessarily have to do so. It is easy to break an old world, but it is difficult to build a perfect new world.
The saint's enlightenment is the process of establishing a new world. Every step of the saint's enlightenment makes the new world more perfect.
Although Lu Cheng has taken seven steps so far, these seven steps of enlightenment are all "imitations" and cannot break away from Chaos Qinglian's rut. Only when the inner world he creates is richer than the laws of the external world,
Only then can we completely get rid of the influence of Chaos Qinglian. This process is extremely long, and we don’t know when we will reach the end.
In the year 5477 of Emperor Lu's New Calendar, Lu's scientists made a breakthrough in "space-time research" and made a more accurate time disk, making it easier to travel through time and space. For each time travel, the time error does not exceed three days, and the space error does not exceed 100
kilometers. In this way, Lu Cheng can take his family to travel to different time and space.
In 6000, the "Lu Huang" who was in charge of Heaven announced his abdication, and his second son Guan Qingfeng took over as the new generation of "Lord of Heaven". His daughter-in-law Lin Qiuhong was a two-step enlightenment saint and was revered as "Queen Mother Lin" to assist her husband in management.
Heaven.
Guan Qingfeng and Lin Qiuhong both graduated from the Ancient Martial Arts Academy. They received ideological education from the Huaxia Kingdom since they were young. They have worked in the Council of Elders and government departments for many years and have rich experience in management work. With these two in charge of heaven, the Lu family can control the world.
.
Lu Cheng did not give way to Lu Qingshan because Lu Qingshan is a great scientist and has little interest in fame and fortune. He has completed the three steps of enlightenment and his skill is much higher than Guan Qingfeng. His wife Mei Lingshang is a chess master and
The Immortal Formation Master, who has completed two steps of enlightenment, is also obsessed with research and does not want to be a superior "Queen Mother".
Ten years of flowers and bones shed tears in the east wind, and a few bits of snail fragrance and dust on the wall.
I heard the wanderers singing songs of departure in the morning, and I first crossed the river with a slight frost last night.
Time easily throws people away, turning cherries red and bananas green.
Spring is warm, flowers are blooming, grass is growing, orioles are flying, birds are chirping, flowers are fragrant, and everything is purple and red.
Lu Cheng, a long tall man, wearing a green shirt, was sitting in a small boat, holding a fishing rod in his hand, and was rafting on Taihu Lake.
Jiang Qiuyun was wearing a plain long dress, with a beautiful face and beautiful face, and was sitting on the bow of the boat.
The sun is warm and enjoyable.
In their ears, a vague singing voice came faintly: "What night is it today? I am in the boat in the middle of the river. What day is it today? I have to be in the same boat with you. There are trees in the mountains and trees have branches. I am happy for you, but you don't know..."
Jiang Qiuyun looked back at Lu Cheng and said, "Cheng, where is this place and what year and month is it?"
Lu Cheng replied: "This is Earth, 2032 AD."
Jiang Qiuyun smiled: "Why does it seem to me that the singing comes from Qingmei?"
"Really? Why didn't I hear it?"
"Although she used a falsetto, the method she used to exhale and open her voice was the Lu family's 'Five Yun Immortal Sound Technique'. She was really naughty."
Lu Cheng asked: "Can you tell where she is?"
Jiang Qiuyun said: "The sound is vague, distant, and continuous. It comes from the northwest. It should be in Jiuhua Mountain."
"The distance from Jiuhua Mountain to Taihu Lake is only more than 300 kilometers. If she sang there, I should be able to see her. Since she can't see her, it means she is not in this time and space, and maybe she used the 'Holy Sound Breaking the Sky Technique'. I have to warn you when I look back.
She cannot use magic power to disrupt the order of time and space."
Jiang Qiuyun smiled and said: "She has good intentions, her voice is soft and has no lethality, so just leave her alone. I care more about another thing than her singing. At this time, Guan Sangyue has just won the Olympic championship."
, I am still infatuated with you in my heart, do you want to do something to make up for the regrets you had at the beginning?"
Guan Sangyue did not get together with Lu Cheng until she was over 40 years old because of Lu Cheng's polite refusal and moral restraint. The relationship between the two has always been secretive, and there was no open and aboveboard wedding from beginning to end. This is a rare occurrence in the history of the Lu family.
A pity.
If Guan Sangyue was a nobody, naturally no one would care, but she is a three-step saint, and her rank is no less than Taishang Laojun, and her son Guan Qingfeng succeeded "Lu Huang" as the "Lord of Heaven".
In this way, someone will travel through time to dig up her dark history.
Is the reputation of a saint important? It is important. Confucius said: If the reputation is not correct, then the words will not go smoothly; if the words are not smooth, the things will not be accomplished; if the things are not accomplished, the rituals and music will not flourish; if the rituals and music are not flourishing, the punishment will not be accurate; if the punishment will not be appropriate, then the punishment will not be appropriate.
The people will be at a loss what to do.
If Guan Sangyue's reputation is lacking, it will not be conducive to his son's management of the immortals in the world. People will gossip behind his back.
At this time, Jiang Qiuyun was already a four-step enlightenment saint. She was in the same realm as the Tathagata Buddha in his heyday. She had already seen through the warmth and coldness of human relationships and the harshness of the world, so she spoke up and wanted Lu Cheng to do something.
Make up for past regrets.
Lu Cheng muttered: "No need. I am not Tang Yao or Yu Shun. There is no need to revise history. Even if my life were to be repeated, I would make the same choice. Don't think so much. Good times and beautiful scenery are nothing to the sky, but life is free.
I have stolen half a day's leisure. The south of the Yangtze River is light and warm, half monk, half mortal, half god."
Jiang Qiuyun smiled and said, "Okay, everything is up to you."
Then, she sang in a low voice: "I cut through the moss and stole a piece of sky. Wild birds watched me drunk, and the stream clouds illuminated my sleep. The mountain flowers could only smile and did not understand what to say to me. Only the rock wind came and blew me
Still awake."
(At this point, the main text of this book is finished. There will be a large number of postscripts and extra volumes.
Guiyu describes a world of cultivation, which can be infinitely expanded. I don’t want to start a new book for the time being, but I want to write some short stories related to the Lu family and the Classic of Mountains and Seas to make the characters appear fuller.
Just like "Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio" written by Pu Songling, although it describes many different stories, they are all related to ghost foxes and can be counted together as one book.)
