Chapter 36 of Chaoge Chapter: Looking back, searching forward, no luck
The twenty-fifth day after Li Ping'an set off.
Heavenly Court, Punishment Hall.
Li Dazhi, who was wearing a red silk and black embroidered python robe, walked out of the palace with his hands behind his back. Along the way, the heavenly soldiers and generals hurriedly bowed their heads in salute. Inside the palace, the Sin Immortal was being interrogated in different areas. All the officials who were reviewing the files quickly stood up and bowed.
"I have met the Father of Heavenly Emperor."
"Everyone is very polite. I'm busy with something important. I'm just here to take a look."
Li Dazhi waved his hands with a smile, raised his head and identified the various paths in the lower hall. He could see eighty-one thunder dragon pillars and the Heavenly Punishment Pond filled with thunder.
The main hall was empty, with a few god generals moving their eyes from their self-portraits.
"Why is daddy here?"
Fairy Ziyao's voice came from the corner of the hall.
She turned around the screen and bowed to Li Dazhi. Li Dazhi cupped his hands and said with a smile: "I just want to ask you something. Your Majesty is not at home. It is against the rules for me to go to Yaochi, so I have to come to you."
"How can Daddy still avoid suspicion?"
Zi Yao dispersed the screen, ordered the fairy to lay out the futon, and invited Li Dazhi to sit forward and sit across from him.
Li Dazhi sighed, but he didn't mince words and directly explained his purpose.
"Do you know about Ping An's practice with the Chaos Bell?"
"How could Zi Yao not know about such a big thing?" Fairy Zi Yao sighed, "He should have been detached, but he couldn't escape his obsession. What he was thinking about was actually not detached or not, but to prove himself.
That’s right.”
Li Dazhi smiled bitterly: "You can see clearly?"
"After all, I've been sleeping with you for hundreds of years."
Zi Yao raised her hand and called softly, and the fairy on the side recovered her true form, turned into a white cat and landed on her arm, and she gently stroked its hair.
Zi Yao said softly:
"I'm just worried about him. He has a simple heart after all.
"Generally speaking, those who want to achieve great things should be ruthless and ruthless, not to mention unjust, but my husband is not like that. He has a bit of benevolence and righteousness in his bones, and when doing things, he thinks about how to minimize casualties rather than what is best for himself.
"This is all thanks to dad and another senior."
"You don't understand the background of his character formation," Li Dazhi said warmly, "In this world of prehistoric times, it's natural to be ruthless and stand firm, but he comes from a peaceful world and has never suffered anything since he was a child.
, so sometimes I tend to be idealistic and pragmatic.”
Zi Yao pondered for a few times: "Dad really avoids talking about his own mistakes."
"Why don't we just avoid talking about it?"
Li Dazhi smiled bitterly and said:
“I never thought that Ping An would be where it is today.
"When we first came here, we knew there would be an old man manipulating everything behind the scenes.
"During those two years in the secular world, all I thought about was how happy it would be to give Ping An the opportunity to cultivate immortality and live a carefree life between heaven and earth.
"I never thought that I had top-level qualifications and top-level luck. I entered the Immortal Sect and worshiped the founder. Then I naturally thought about helping my precious son. At that time, what I thought about was that Ping An could find a fairy to become a Taoist priest.
If I become a couple and have a few immortal grandchildren, then won’t I have no regrets?
"Who knows, hey, the tree wants to be quiet but the wind doesn't stop. I tried every means to promote the good things of Ping An and Ning Ning. I even secretly asked Ning Ning's master to say a lot of good things. As a result, Ping An went out a few times and things were completely different.
"There are actually a group of demons dancing wildly in the human race, ASEAN has been infiltrated into a sieve by Western religions and monsters, and Ping'an has been chosen by Emperor Xuanyuan, and has the so-called destiny.
"The battle of Xizhou, the great ambition of peace, the ambition of the Emperor of Heaven... Just that one moment, really, just that one moment, I don't know how to help him pave the way, it is not a road that I can pave... Sigh
, and then all kinds of things determined that Xuanyuan of hundreds of tribes would die, and the heavenly court would unleash a sea of blood. Hongjun would appear in vain, and I could only guard this place of the Ministry of Finance in this heavenly court, thinking that I could keep this place safe.
close.
"I thought this would be good, and it exceeded expectations. Who knew that the final catastrophe would happen again.
"Let it be the end, what's the matter between the two of us when the three religions broke up? But Ping An has his own set of justice, and he can never consider the problem from the standpoint of the Emperor of Heaven and the Way of Heaven. Just as he gradually changed, Old Man Wanri said
But Bian couldn't hold it any longer.
"Wangri actually took the initiative to show off his cards.
"Later I realized how painful Wan Ri's patience was. He who walks a hundred miles is only half a mile short of the last step. As long as he waits for a thousand more years, everything will go according to his script, and heaven and earth will complete the four hundred and thirty
In the next reincarnation, Ping An became the new Taoist master, and then created a relatively perfect world.
"This is a good ending, right?"
Zi Yao nodded slightly, his eyes filled with thoughts.
Li Dazhi said: "But who would have thought that Ping An would not bow his head after all."
"This is actually something that my daughter-in-law cannot understand," Zi Yao asked softly, "Since this is a good ending, why doesn't Ping An want to bow his head?"
"Well, I actually know what's going on...but I can't tell."
Li Dazhi asked back:
"Ziyao, you have a clear mind and unparalleled intelligence. What do you think?"
Zi Yao smiled and said: "He is just a little...unwilling, unwilling, dissatisfied, and unbelieving."
"Wrong, that's not the case."
Li Dazhi smiled and shook his head:
"The essence of the problem is that he cannot bear the guilt and does not want to bear it.
"If the matter has nothing to do with him, for example, if he saw Ji Chang using living people to imitate businessmen for sacrifice, he would be able to watch this kind of thing indifferently, because he does not have any sense of guilt. He knows that what he did in Nanzhou was to save people.
More people also know that the kind of ethics represented by the Ji family can alleviate the crisis in Nanzhou.
"So Ping An just laughed it off.
"Similarly, when it comes to the Hundred Tribes, he does not exterminate all the Hundred Tribes. This is not in line with the expectations of most Human Race veterans, because the Human Race veterans really hate the Hundred Tribes.
"In order to check and balance the human power, he also consciously reused the Heavenly Fury Guards, generals like Cai Lin, Niu Benben, and Yin Kui, who indeed performed many missions for the Heavenly Court.
"As for the four hundred and thirty reincarnations of heaven and earth, too many lives have died in this process.
"Looking at it objectively, Wanri is both the creator and the destroyer of the world. For all the creatures in this world, he is at least 90% of the credit, which is far greater than the 10% of the fault.
“If we don’t open up this world, how can we destroy it?
"Although his motives are selfish, a gentleman has no regard for his heart. Each world has existed for a long time and has supported countless living beings.
"But peace is the most special here.
"Wanri has committed so many tragedies in order to deceive Dao Dao and save him, so he became the only beneficiary. What followed was the unshakable feeling of guilt.
"The reason why Ping An is so determined to embark on the path of finding new answers is to get rid of this sense of guilt.
“He doesn’t want to prove that he is better than Wangri, he has the temperament to have big ambitions and be content with being rich even though he is small.
"He just wants to make up for his previous mistakes, at least so that he doesn't have to bear such mistakes. What he yearns for is the kind of hero."
"Hero?" Zi Yao was puzzled.
Li Dazhi said with a smile: "It's the story book he read when he was a child. A great chivalrous person serves the country and the people. When encountering big troubles, he goes out to deal with the situation. After that, he goes away and lives in seclusion in the mountains and forests, taking his beauty with him."
"This...isn't this still a mortal's thoughts?"
"You are right," Li Dazhi sighed, "I came to you today because I wanted to ask you for a favor."
"Dad, it doesn't matter if you say so."
"The path he wants to take will eventually fail."
Li Dazhi raised his hand to cover his heart:
"I have a lot of memories left by Wangri, and I roughly know how fierce he is. Ping An's current reaction is actually what Wangri expected.
"Just like how difficult it is for a person to lift himself up without relying on external forces.
"Ping An is now using the Chaos Clock left by Wan Ri. He is following the path Wan Ri has walked. What he is experiencing is the Three Thousand Avenues and the Pagoda World carefully designed by Wan Ri. After all, he is bound to this framework.
, it’s hard to jump out.”
Li Dazhi sighed and his eyes became a little distant.
"I am his father, and he has passed the age where he talks to his father about everything, and usually he only reports good news but not bad news.
"I estimate that if he encounters subsequent setbacks and the pressure becomes too great to resolve, he will definitely return to our current time and space of normal advancement. It should not be long in our perception.
"If you see him, you'd better comfort him a few more words and try to tell him a truth in a roundabout way."
Zi Yao hurriedly asked: "What kind of truth?"
"Nothing in the world is perfect. It is precisely because of regrets that good deeds are precious. But do good deeds without worrying about the future. Being able to do these eight words is enough."
After Li Dazhi finished speaking, he stood up and bowed.
Zi Yao quickly stood up and returned the gift.
But when Zi Yao stood up, Li Dazhi's figure had quietly disappeared.
She was slightly in a daze, turned to look at the fairy beside her, and then looked down at the Persian cat in her hand.
When did my father-in-law have such magical powers? He came and went without a trace, leaving no trace in the way of heaven.
Zi Yao thought of something, summoned the sky survey mirror, and took a closer look.
Over Nanzhou, Li Dazhi was lying in the clouds, enjoying the performance of a song and dance troupe from a certain city in Dongzhou dancing gracefully on the clouds in front of him. It was so comfortable and comfortable.
The guy who just came... wasn't Dazhi?
'If this is the case, I'm afraid my husband will be coming back soon. I don't know whether he is here to find me, or to find Ning Ning or Qing Su.'
Zi Yao pursed her lips slightly, but she took this matter more seriously in her heart.
She thought carefully and took the initiative to consult with Mu Ningning. She also sent her confidant Xian'e to send a letter to Qingsu.
Sure enough, only three days after that 'Dazhi' came to look for Zi Yao, a figure cut through the universe and years, returned from the starry sky to the 'baseline' time and space, and appeared in...
Xuanyuan Mausoleum.
…
Li Ping'an didn't know why he came to look for the female slave again.
He doesn't like to be entangled, but at this moment, he is indeed under too much pressure and wants to find someone to chat with, at least to find some of what he was like back then.
In the main hall, the female monk sat cross-legged on a futon in the middle, surrounded by fire lotus flowers.
'Or forget it.'
Li Ping'an turned around and was about to leave when the female master suddenly said: "Since you are here, why don't you show up?"
Huh? Her cultivation level is so high? Even he can find it?
Li Ping'an remained still. The female master waited for a while, then lowered her head and sighed, murmuring: "It's another hallucination."
"It's not an illusion this time," Li Ping'an laughed dumbly, opened the window and jumped in.
The female demon was stunned for a moment, then showed her face, and then was stunned again.
She looked up at Li Pingan, a little afraid to recognize him.
Previously, Li Ping'an had always had a youthful appearance, with a handsome appearance, sharp eyebrows and starry eyes, and his long hair would be tied up with a high crown or tied into a hairpin, but today...
He was unkempt, his long hair was disheveled, there was still some blood on the edge of the dark green robe, and his eyes had a tiredness that couldn't be concealed.
"What's wrong with you?"
The female demon asked softly.
Li Ping'an was startled for a moment, then his figure swayed, and with a bit of golden light, he returned to his previous appearance.
But the fatigue in his eyes did not completely dissipate. He also yawned and walked directly to the female master, pulled a futon and sat down.
Li Ping'an smiled and said: "I'm just a little tired. I've been watching too many things recently. The main soul is a bit overloaded, and the heaven is about to smoke."
The female master was puzzled: "What did you see?"
"I watched the death of Emperor Jun, the rise of the Golden Crow tribe, the battle between the innate beings, the Wu tribe hunting the earth, how the Sanqing traveled in the ancient land, the hatred between Kunpeng and Hongyun, and the enmity between Kunpeng and Hongyun.
The last ax struck by Pangu."
"Ah?" The female slayer was a little confused.
"Enlightening the Tao," Li Ping'an's eyes were full of distance, "I will soon cross the normal time and space and enter the last reincarnation of heaven and earth. I have recently understood more than a hundred great ways. They are fighting, and I am learning secretly next to them.
, the battle between dragon and phoenix inspired me the most. When those masters fell, the avenue was stretched, and I watched secretly from the side... I also saw how you integrated the avenue of disaster. It was very painful, so I thought,
Come and see you."
The female demon raised her hand to cover her forehead: "You guy, you came all of a sudden and I'm talking about these weird things..."
Her red lips were suddenly blocked, and her eyes widened involuntarily.
There was no warning at all, and there was no resistance at all. Her bursting Dao was as obedient as a sheep at the moment. The familiar face in front of her made her heart feel confused, and she silently closed her eyes.
After a while, Li Ping'an stood up, jumped two steps back, and said with a smile:
"Now that the pressure is not so great, I continue to explore. Although I have a bad premonition now, I can still see a glimmer of hope.
"Wait for me, I will come to find you after the sky opens! Hahahahaha!"
He left a villain-like laugh.
The female scourge cursed in a low voice: "He left just like that!"
She raised her hand and touched her lips, sighed softly, then turned to face the statue of Xuanyuan, lowered her head and recited a few words about "should not be done" and "sin".
The female slayer actually didn't know that in Li Ping'an's mind, the two had not seen each other for a long, long time.
Li Ping'an originally planned to go around and take a look, but in the end he just took a look, because at this point in time when he came back, no one was too aware of his departure.
Actually;
Thousands of years old, I walk alone on the road.
However, he spent most of his time enlightening and was not too aware of the changes over time.
Now he rekindled his fighting spirit, so he jumped out of the scroll called the present world, went upstream, and traced back to his origin. Now he can cross the 430th opening of the sky and go to the heaven and earth where Donghuang Taiyi was born, and continue
Find the path of the unknown.
The reincarnation of heaven and earth, the great road is stable, the three thousand return to one, and perfection can be achieved!
…
One and a half months after Ziyao met ‘Li Dazhi’.
Zi Yao, who had been waiting, finally met Li Pingan, who returned to the world for the second time.
Li Ping'an paid attention to his appearance this time. He was not as embarrassed as the last time he saw the female demon. However, when he saw Zi Yao, he immediately broke the skill, bent his legs and knelt on the ground, and hung his head feebly.
Zi Yao summoned his true body and hurried forward, trying to help Li Pingan, but was directly knocked away by the weak Taoist rhyme emanating from Li Pingan's body.
"I'm fine."
Li Ping'an held his knees, took a breath, stood up with strength, walked a few steps forward, took the initiative to hold Yaochi's arm and let her support him, and walked to the bed to rest.
He smiled and said: "I have been enlightened for too long, and I have forgotten to move. My body is a little out of control. Fortunately, I have gained something, understood something, learned something, and have no complaints."
"Why does Your Majesty need to torture yourself like this?"
"It's not that I'm torturing myself. I can do better. Of course I have to do it. Maybe if I work hard here, I can save tens of millions more people."
Li Ping'an took two sips of tea and couldn't help but yawned:
"I'm going to sleep for a while. Don't tell them that I'm back and I haven't accomplished anything yet. It would be a bit embarrassing to tell them."
"Hey, Your Majesty is just taking a rest. I'll be watching over you."
Yaochi said softly and immediately backed away from everyone, while he waited quietly at the side.
Li Pingan slept for a full half a month.
When he woke up, he opened his eyes. His eyes were a bit dazed, then indifferent, and then he regained his vitality. He sat up and stretched.
Yaochi came forward to greet her, and Li Ping'an took her hand and sat down. He didn't do anything too intimate, but just talked about his recent gains.
I have understood many great ways, understood various truths, seen different reincarnations of heaven and earth, similar fates of heaven and earth, and the similar prehistoric world.
He said: "Only when I see the end of the sky can I realize how difficult it is to open the sky. Only when I see the end of the sky can I understand the eternity of the end. I also want to find the uncle of Taiqing Master... I will go first and give him a kiss."
"Why."
Before Yaochi could persuade him to take a rest, let alone explain the truth that he had been told, Li Ping'an quickly kissed her on the cheek and disappeared in a flash.
Yaochi couldn't help but sigh, but there was a bit of a smile in his eyes.
She could feel that Li Pingan had become stronger again, and it was not an ordinary increase. She could not understand such a Tao state.
Although Li Ping'an could easily make the dragon see its head but not its tail before, the feeling given to Yaochi now is different.
The amazing thing is that the magical power is vast and invisible.
It does not stand within the main road, but is detached from the tangible.
At this time, Li Ping'an looked at the long river of time and the years of enlightenment were actually... hundreds of thousands of years old...
Immersed in the Tao, he has almost been assimilated by the Tao, and his way to resist the assimilation power of the Tao is to find the anchor points he left behind and use them one at a time.
He went to Taiqing Xiaoyuan and stayed there for half a year before continuing his journey.
Things in this world seemed to have nothing to do with him.
There is only Tao, only thought.
About a year later, Li Ping'an appeared in the human world for the third time. He went to find Qingsu and stayed for two or three months.
Two or three years later, Li Ping'an appeared in the real world for the fourth time. This time he went to look for Mu Ningning and stayed for four months.
But this time, after Li Pingan left, Mu Ningning hurriedly found Qingsu and Yaochi. After a brief discussion, he rushed to the sky above Nanzhou to find Li Dazhi, who had built an immortal palace on the clouds.
They all felt the abnormality of Li Ping'an's condition, and after comparing with each other, they discovered...
Li Ping'an's condition is getting worse and worse.
…
Li Dazhi listened to the descriptions of his three daughters-in-law and sat behind the desk without saying a word for a long time.
Yaochi said:
"He first came to me and told me that he had found a path that might be able to fulfill his expectations or even exceed them, but it would only take a long time and effort. He had already divided his soul into three thousand parts, but only one could do it.
Thinking, others are enlightening or mastering the Dao.
"He said that he had clearly understood the principles of the Great Dao, and he could go through the entire years, looking for the escaping oneness in the reincarnation of heaven and earth.
"The goal he told me at that time was to break through the nine barriers and reach the original world of Old Man Wandering. That is where everything begins and where the hope of getting rid of the reincarnation of heaven and earth lies."
"When he came to me, in his perception, an extremely long time must have passed."
Qing Su said:
"His eyes seemed to have lost their color, and I was trying my best to comfort him.
"I can directly feel the years, the heaven and the earth in him, but I can't feel himself. He seems to have become a part of Tao, and it is an extremely important part.
"What he told me was different."
Li Dazhi hurriedly asked: "Why is it different?"
"He said... this path is wrong, and he will encounter obstacles if he pursues it. Even if he can have a glimpse of the original world, understand the original world, understand the avenue beyond the three thousand avenues, and even understand the basic avenue of the Sea of Chaos
, but cannot transcend this original world.
"The original world has been destroyed by the sun, from the level of Tao.
"Wangri has done many, many things to start the reincarnation of heaven and earth, killing everything.
"In the process of constantly going back through the years to find the truth, he would meet a time traveler every time he reincarnated between heaven and earth, and then he saw with his own eyes that this time traveler was strangled step by step by the chess game played by the old man.
"A time traveler represents a counterattack from heaven and earth, and represents the possibility brewed by the three thousand avenues, but Old Man Wanri can always easily defeat these time travellers, every time with an understatement.
"He also said that many of the beings in the cemetery of heaven and earth who are not humans, ghosts, spirits, or souls are all time travelers in the reincarnation of heaven and earth.
"Only by seeing it with your own eyes can you understand how desperate those four hundred and twenty-nine times were.
"He has filled himself up in the past and has reached the culmination of all avenues. He has spent countless years and countless ways to realize the Tao. He even cut himself into tens of thousands of pieces and buried them in various eras. After absorbing the avenues, he unified himself...
Such extreme measures have been taken before.
"But now he understands something.
"In the frame, he can jump out of the years, but he can't jump out of the shadow of the sun. The sun is everywhere..."
Qingsu finished speaking in one breath, sighing softly, with tears in her eyes.
She asked in a low voice: "Master, is there any way to stop him? He didn't let me tell anyone this, so I told him behind his back. He was afraid that everyone would worry about him, but... if this goes on, how can he
What do you get?"
Li Dazhi smiled bitterly: "If I could stop him, I would definitely stop him now. He didn't even come to me. Did he say anything else to you?"
"He said he was going to the future to find..."
"I know," Mu Ningning said hurriedly, "After he came to my place, I quickly called them over."
"What did he find?"
"Found nothing."
"Ah?" Li Dazhi's heart was at the top of his voice.
Mu Ningning sighed: "At first, his expression was a little strange, and the order of his words was also confusing. He always said the word "frame" in his mouth, and then he fell asleep next to me. He woke up after sleeping for more than a month.
It’s back to normal.”
She explained quickly:
"Brother said that the past is the trunk and the future is the branches. There is usually only one trunk. What has happened cannot be changed, otherwise the present world will collapse. But the future is divergent and there may be different possibilities.
"He is looking for different possibilities in the future.
"Then, the higher you stand and the clearer you see, the simpler the problem becomes, and the simpler the problem, the more unsolvable it is.
"From the moment the original world was shattered, the entire world fell into a cycle of reincarnation, repeating the four processes of development, prosperity, decline, and termination under the rules carefully woven by Wanri. Wanri will also advance the end, ensuring that every day
This time you can extract more of the original power of heaven and earth.
"The source of the original power is the true spirit, and the light blooms when the true spirit disappears.
"He also said that we are all in this framework. Only by breaking the framework can we reach the reality, see the true nature of the road, and then open up a new world.
"The original world, the four hundred and thirty reincarnations, and the new world are parallel. However, we are now stuck in the middle stage. We cannot break through it and cannot find a way out."
Li Dazhi asked: "Then did he say, if it is not broken, what will happen next?"
"This is Wanri's new world," Mu Ningning explained. "This reincarnation set by Wanri will reorganize all the avenues when it reaches the end of time."
"Then don't you just listen to him?"
"The price is that all living beings will be erased, leaving only a mark. Then this mark can be combined with other true spirits in the new world to become a new living being."
Mu Ningning whispered:
"And the new world is an existence at the level of the original world. These four hundred and thirty reincarnations of heaven and earth have become a part of the plan to open up the sky.
"Everything is an incomparable calculation. Even if Wangri finally gets anxious and reveals the secret a thousand years in advance, it cannot change this. The framework is here, and it is impossible for a mortal to lift himself up by pinching his nose.
"The future set by the sun is restricted, because all possibilities must be killed to ensure that the one who escapes is an outside traveler, thus attracting him and you."
Yaochi said: "Your Majesty has reached such a realm, and is not far away from Wangri. Since you have gained nothing, you should give up."
"He always feels that there is someone who has escaped."
Qing Su said:
"We came to find the leader just to resolve this matter, and to ask the leader to come forward and find a way to persuade him.
"Now, only you, the leader, can make him let go of his obsession."
"Obsession, obsession, it's called obsession."
Li Dazhi sighed:
"I know about this. I tried my best to contact Wanri. He really left me some tips. You three, don't worry too much. Just go back and practice freely.
"Ping An keeps trying to save the suffering and save the common people. You are his concern and his family, but he has gone through so much trouble to do it. When I look back, the three of you are sick because of worry."
Mu Ningning smiled bitterly: "We are carefree all day long, dad, you don't have to worry."
"Go ahead, I won't keep you for dinner. I'll ask my two aunts to make some delicious food for you later."
The three women gave a few more words to ask Li Dazhi to pay more attention to him, and then they left together and returned to heaven together.
They should continue to discuss countermeasures.
Just as the three girls left, the paperweight on Li Dazhi's desk glowed a little and transformed into Li Ping'an's body.
Li Ping'an smiled bitterly: "It's broken, it makes them worry."
Li Dazhi frowned tightly and looked at Li Ping'an's current appearance, not knowing what to say.
