Li Ping'an, who was sitting cross-legged among the golden feathers on the bird's back, had gradually stopped thinking and speculating at this moment, letting his body and mind relax.
As the Chaos Clock says;
If this was also part of Wangri's plan, then he was rushing to the Sea of Chaos now. Wangri had already anticipated it and had even made preparations for it.
Wanri's plan is not set in stone.
The stage he is currently going through may be a chain reaction caused by him transforming into Ji Dan to contact Donghuang Taiyi.
Can he really defeat such an enemy?
Or, after accepting that he is the other father Li Dazhi, will his position change?
Li Pingan had no answer in his heart.
He was even a little afraid, afraid to touch this secret, afraid to know the so-called truth, afraid to see the old man who had always been "beyond the norm" friendly to him really become like his father.
So what has he been protecting all this time?
"Your Majesty," Dapeng bird whispered, "your Taoist mind seems to be confused. What's wrong with you?"
Li Ping'an closed his eyes and replied casually: "When you reach my age, you will understand."
"Your Majesty, I seem to be older than you..."
Li Ping'an murmured: "This is a joke, don't pay too much attention to it."
"Your Majesty," Dapeng asked, "the masters in the clan are very pessimistic, thinking that we are already on the eve of being destroyed...will we win?"
"I do not know either."
Li Pingan smiled:
"Never ask others about this matter. The choice is yours. Go on your way and let me be quiet for a while."
"yes."
Dapeng responded respectfully and carried Li Ping'an straight to Xuandu City.
Li Ping'an originally thought that Xuandu City was now empty, but after the Dapeng bird carried him there, he immediately discovered that the city's defense strength seemed to be dozens of times higher than before.
The Tai Chi map wraps Xuandu City all the time;
There is a famous yellow scarf warrior in the city;
An old man is sitting in the middle of Xuandu City. He seems to be one of the three corpses of Taiqing. He is holding the clay sculptures with his heart at this moment. The figure of the clay sculpture will turn into a strong man if it flickers slightly.
Li Ping'an looked at Xuandu City for a while, then signaled the roc to go around Xuandu City without disturbing the old man.
Silently, the roc slipped into the surging aura of chaos, and a little light gushed out from around it.
Sudden;
"That's it."
Li Ping'an said hello, and the Dapeng bird immediately stopped.
Li Ping'an slowly floated up, looking at the aura of chaos lingering everywhere, and warned: "Wait for me outside Xuandu City... If I don't return for a long time, I will go to Zhuyun Sect to find my father and protect him."
"yes!"
The roc bird transformed into a human form and saluted with clasped fists.
He hesitated several times, but Li Ping'an's figure was covered by the aura of chaos and disappeared from the Dapeng bird's detection range.
"Alas," Dapeng said, although he didn't know what happened, but he also understood that the young Emperor of Heaven chose to face the nearly invincible enemy alone.
What happens next?
Dapeng doesn't know and doesn't dare to think too much.
He could only stand here, looking at the direction in which Li Ping'an was going, waiting for the time of 'long absence' to arrive.
The roc bird is still a little confused.
How long does the so-called long absence mean? Five days, ten days? Three years, five years?
This is the first time His Majesty has issued such a vague order.
at the same time.
Zhuyun Zongzhong.
Li Dazhi scratched his head, looked at the incense table in front of him, thought for a moment, and breathed out softly.
His hands were like chopping knives, and strands of long hair fell down on their own.
Afterwards, Li Dazhi recited a mantra, performed a formal bow, walked around behind the desk, and nodded solemnly.
"allow."
He hasn't used this method of borrowing luck for a long time.
…
In the sea of chaos, Li Ping'an quickly found the 'black and yellow aura' mentioned by Chaos Zhong Zhongling, and stood in front of the black and yellow aura for a long time without moving.
He didn't think much, he was just exploring what was hidden in this cloud of black and yellow air.
The result is nothing.
He tried to point out a finger. When his fingertips touched a wisp of black and yellow gas, the black and yellow gas trembled slightly, and a small shock wave exploded on it, washing away the chaotic atmosphere around him.
Li Ping'an didn't do anything more. The black and yellow air gradually dispersed and turned into a film of light that enveloped his whole body.
A Taoist charm that he couldn't understand surrounded this place.
Li Ping'an took half a step forward, and the light film suddenly changed, wrapping his figure.
There seemed to be a pair of giant eyes opening slowly in front, with black and white pupils appearing inside them.
It was the head of a great ape;
Li Ping'an remembered that this was the chaotic beast that smashed Kunpeng's escape path with one punch.
I don’t know how long this chaotic beast is at the moment, and I don’t know how far it is from here. - This place is closer to the prehistoric world, and it is still affected by the rules of the prehistoric world, and it is not indistinguishable from time to time.
.
The giant beast nodded slightly, as if it recognized Li Pingan, and then its eyes shot out two beams of black and white light. The intersection of the lights was just three feet away from Li Pingan, forming an elliptical vortex.
'Please come in.'
A powerful voice sounded from the bottom of Li Ping'an's heart:
'The master is waiting for you inside. Inside is an illusion, a real illusion.'
Li Pingan nodded slightly.
They come, the security.
He lowered his head and got into the aperture in front of him, and the scene in front of him instantly turned into darkness. A power of order that he had never experienced before, which was hundreds or even thousands of times more powerful than the way of heaven in the prehistoric world, was filled with this darkness.
Vaguely, Li Ping'an saw a warm white light curtain appear in front of him, and several large characters were outlined in the light curtain.
【You came.】
Li Ping'an asked: "Teacher?"
The writing on the light screen keeps changing.
【This is much earlier than I expected, although this is also my choice.】
Li Ping'an smiled bitterly: "Can you give me a complete explanation today?"
[Of course, this is why I led you here.]
The light curtain changes continuously.
[Originally, my perfect plan was that after you defeated me as the Emperor of Heaven, I would tell you everything in a letter.]
[I just didn’t expect that there would be a small change in my perfect plan.]
[Tai Yi did not die, his remnant soul was hidden by the Chaos Bell. In order to protect him, the Chaos Bell did not hesitate to plot against the nine-tailed fox, and used the body of the nine-tailed fox as a container to contain Tai Yi's remnant soul. 】
[When I saw Taiyi come back to me, I knew that the Chaos Clock’s plan was successful, and I couldn’t kill him again.]
[This is not mercy, but a kind of helplessness. I can't actually take action against your replacement, so I can only change my plan. When the remnant soul of Taiyi appeared in front of you, I saw the light shining in your eyes. You should have noticed it.
Something happened that forced me to change my plan.】
【And this is the result of changing the plan.】
[You need to bear more pressure and suffer some pain...but I think this pain is short-lived.]
Li Pingan's Adam's apple trembled up and down: "So, you are...father?"
【Yes and no.】
A sighing soybean emoticon appeared on the light screen.
The decadent energy in Li Ping'an's heart was instantly shattered by this emoticon.
That’s not to say it’s not!
A line of words appeared on the light screen:
【My peace has long since died.】
【Let me think about how to tell this story to you.】
[You are indeed my biological son Li Pingan, but this is the result of me distorting the entire tangible world.]
[I don’t ask you to understand me, because I am a complete devil, a monster driven by obsession. Even if I reach the so-called transcendence, my Taoist heart still cannot transcend.]
[Just take one step forward, just one step. I have prepared for you... memories that I don’t want to open. 】
Li Ping'an took a gentle breath and took a step forward slowly and firmly.
A dazzling light appeared in front of him, and a world flew towards him at a high speed, and he was wrapped in a black and yellow aura and gradually merged into this picture.
Boom——
The dull thunder made Li Ping'an subconsciously look up. What he saw when he looked up was a clear blue sky and a blazing sun.
This is an endless Gobi wilderness, with several huge animal skeletons lying across the horizon, and the sky is covered with dark clouds.
Li Pingan heard some noise coming from behind.
He turned his head to look, his lips trembling slightly.
A tattered, fat middle-aged man was struggling to walk in the Gobi Desert. He had a rope made of leather straps tied around his shoulders and was dragging a raft behind him. The young man lying on the raft was covered in blood.
Both of them were covered in dust.
The young man was seriously injured, as can be seen from the bandage marks on his body, but his face was still fair, and sometimes he was breathing, sometimes like a dead body.
That's him...
Li Pingan pursed his lips tightly.
That's him.
There were two simple sunshade fans on the left and right sides of the raft, which helped the young man shield himself from the harsh sun.
The middle-aged man looked up and looked in the direction. Already exhausted, he slowly knelt down and sat down. He panted for a while and then got up again. He took out a bamboo tube from his waist and poured out a little water.
, and fell into the young man's mouth.
"dad……"
The young man called out, unable to open his eyes at this moment.
"Leave me alone..."
"It's okay, we will definitely find immortals. There must be immortals here."
The middle-aged man spoke in a trembling voice, slightly smiling to himself, and said hoarsely:
"Didn't you listen to what they said? There is a spring here, and you can heal with a sip. Any injury can be healed. There are immortals there. As long as you find those immortals, they will give us elixirs, and your injuries will be healed...
… From now on, we will find ways to cultivate immortality together, soar in the clouds and mist, and fly high and high. How wonderful!"
The young man's lips opened: "Dad...I'm sorry...I can't...provide you...for old age..."
"What nonsense are you talking about! Save your strength!"
He just smiled lightly, closed his eyes and passed out.
"Let's go to the front first. Dad will get you some batter to eat. Ah, it's okay. The immortal is right there. He is right there. Dad has seen them."
The middle-aged man swallowed, wiped his eyes with the back of his hand, lowered his head to pick up the straps of the raft, gritted his teeth and continued to pull the raft forward.
They slowly crossed Li Ping'an's figure.
Li Pingan's lips trembled and he slowly followed.
They walked to the huge skeleton and found a shaded spot. The middle-aged man lowered his head and got busy.
‘Li Dazhi’ made the most adequate preparations in the shortest time. He smashed some hard flour products with rocks in his dry hands, put them in a bowl, and soaked them in water for a while.
'Li Dazhi' pried open 'Li Pingan''s mouth and carefully took a few mouthfuls. Seeing that 'Li Pingan' could still swallow, he was really relieved.
After a while, 'Li Dazhi' swallowed the remaining batter and exhaled softly.
He whispered a few words into 'Li Ping'an''s ear, nothing more than encouragement.
Then, with some difficulty, he climbed to a high place and looked around.
Where is it?
Where is that spring?
'Li Dazhi' asked in a low voice, his chapped lips were bloodshot, and his chapped skin was dark and dark red.
He exhaled softly, and according to the legend here, took out a simple Sinan to identify the current direction, rested in the shade for a while, and then dragged the bamboo raft and continued towards the Gobi Desert.
The picture is slightly distorted and then becomes stable again.
Boom!
There was muffled thunder in the night sky.
'Li Dazhi' rushed to the next animal bone before the thunderstorm came, which could block most of the rainwater, and he also got busy collecting rainwater and setting up a rain shelter.
When he finished doing this, the rain stopped.
'Li Dazhi' sat down beside the raft and carefully observed his son's condition.
It can be very cold at night in the Gobi. This raft has three layers: upper, middle and lower.
‘Li Dazhi’ took a sickle with a curved blade and cut off a few pieces of wood from the edge of the raft. It took a lot of effort to make the fire appear here.
"Son, are you warm?"
‘Li Dazhi’ chuckled and muttered:
"Don't listen to the nonsense of that quack doctor in this town. There's nothing you can do to save it. Your injury won't be a big deal to us. We just need to drain the congestion out.
"It's actually not a problem here, there are immortals.
"Who are we? We traveled through time. How awesome is this? Don't these immortals have to keep us captive wherever we go? It's so easy to ask them for an elixir."
There was no response from ‘Li Pingan’.
'Li Dazhi' pursed his lips hard and held back the tears that filled his eyes.
He lowered his head and covered 'Li Pingan' with tattered clothes and added two pieces of firewood to the fire. He huddled next to the raft, his head slowly resting on 'Li Pingan''s head, and he fell into a deep sleep after a while.
He is too tired.
He was so tired that he might not be able to tell whether the young man on the raft was still breathing.
He was so tired that he probably didn't see the spots on the young man's face.
He continued to move forward, dragging the raft and walking barefoot in the endless Gobi Desert, looking for the legendary springs and immortals.
Day after day.
The vulture kept circling in the sky, and the middle-aged man never put down the curled knife in his hand.
Li Ping'an watched, he could only watch, he didn't know what to say, he didn't have any thoughts in his mind, he just watched, watching a middle-aged man fighting with the vulture, watching him collapse due to physical exhaustion
On the ground, he stood up again and again.
The young man on the board is dead.
But the middle-aged man would still keep talking to a corpse that was gradually drying up.
Finally, the spring water appeared in front of the middle-aged man. He desperately dragged the raft into the spring water, and then watched the bodies on the raft slowly sink.
The spring water has magical effects. The wounds on the middle-aged man's body are healing quickly, and his physical strength is also recovering quickly.
But the corpse didn't react at all.
"Son, son, get up, son... Peace, peace? We are here... here..."
He shouted, his emotions suddenly collapsed, he knelt in the shallow spring water, held his head and screamed.
Li Ping stood quietly by the spring, raised his head and closed his eyes.
The picture in front of me was blown away by the wind.
