Chapter 237: Emperor Zhenwu, is he Tao? Is he a person?
Huhuhu~~
Fierce winds roared across the black and barren land.
On this deserted star, devastation can be seen everywhere, as if they are the remains of some great war.
No, it should be said that these stars are all victims of a great war.
The tall old Taoist suddenly heard a mysterious voice.
meet again?
Which life?
Doubts flashed through Zhang Sanfeng's mind, but he was not panicked because he felt that the owner of the voice was very weak and old, and did not seem to be in his prime.
"Who is he? Want to show up and meet him?"
The old man spoke calmly.
He came here for the Xuantian Zaodiao Flag, but after arriving here, he noticed the mysterious relationship between this place and the flag, and knew that he might not be able to get the Zhenwu Flag without figuring out what the relationship was.
of.
Please come forward and say something about Zhang Sanfeng.
The old voice chuckled softly: "Aren't you just standing on my back now? Why show up to see me?"
While talking.
As soon as the old voice fell, the entire black earth shook, and suddenly smoke and dust rose up to the sky, rising thousands of feet high.
The undulating mountains and gray earth patterns formed several spectacular pictures at the feet of Zhang Sanfeng. It looked like...
Like the carapace of a large turtle.
And if the number of carapace on the back of a normal old turtle is counted, the number of carapace that extends approximately 30,000 miles and stretches out from the earth is only 23/10.
This means that if the true form of the earth beneath our feet is really revealed, it will probably be a terrifying giant beast with a radius of hundreds of thousands of miles.
Zhang Sanfeng was shocked and immediately jumped up from the ground.
Phew~
But at this moment, wisps of black and blood-red aura in the air slowly condensed on his side, gradually transforming into an old man wearing ancient robes but covered in blood.
The old man hunched over, looked at Zhang Sanfeng with a smile, looked up and down, and said: "You still look like this. The power of reincarnation between heaven and earth is really mysterious and incredible. Even if you are born again, your appearance will still be the same as when I first met you.
.”
Zhang Sanfeng paused in the air, his eyes as deep as ancient stars, his monk's robes being blown by the strong wind and dancing. He saw the mysterious old man taking the initiative to appear. Although he was not his true form, but just a ray of condensed soul, he did not seem to show any malicious intent.
Moreover, he mentioned several times in his conversation that he was familiar with him, and also talked about reincarnation and reincarnation...
Zhang Sanfeng stood calmly and asked directly: "Senior, who are you?"
Although he has lived for more than two hundred years in this life, it is most appropriate to call him a senior in front of this giant who was born in an unknown era.
"Me?" When the mysterious old man heard this, he smiled to himself and said, "Of course I am the old Xuanwu whom the emperor has traveled across the universe with."
Emperor!
Zhang Sanfeng was startled, and then he felt like a breeze was blowing through his heart. For a moment, he was calm and said: "Senior, please tell me clearly, what kind of emperor? I am a poor Taoist..."
Halfway through the conversation.
Zhang Sanfeng suddenly looked towards the land, as if looking for the flag that disappeared on the ancient star, and said in deep thought:
"Senior said Pindao is the Great Emperor Zhenwu? And Senior, he is Xuanwu under the Emperor's feet?"
The mysterious old man said with a smile: "You can say that, but that's not entirely true."
After he finished speaking, he glanced at Zhang Sanfeng and said,
"It seems that you haven't awakened the memory of the last reincarnation in this life. Compared with the bald woman Guanyin, you are a little slow. Is it because you have something to be obsessed with in this life? You think this life is more worthwhile than the previous one.
hold fast……"
Zhang Sanfeng remained calm and silent, just looked at the old man and asked him to continue speaking.
The old man looked at the heaven, earth and universe above his head and said: "It is true that you are the Zhenwu Emperor, but the emperor is not you. The relationship between you and the Zhenwu Emperor is related to the eight secrets of the supreme beings of heaven and earth."
Zhang Sanfeng whispered: "Eight bodies?"
"Eight bodies, those who can fully realize the eight bodies can be the sole ruler of the heaven, earth and universe. They are the ancient Taoist ancestors, Buddhas, emperors of heaven, and emperors of gods..."
The old man recounted the myth in detail, telling it word for word.
Zhang Sanfeng felt even calmer and said: "Senior said that Pindao is one of the eight bodies of Emperor Zhenwu?"
"Which eight bodies? Which one is Pindao?"
The old man smiled calmly and said: "You are..."
"Show yourself."
Show yourself.
"What's the point of showing up?" Zhang Sanfeng looked at the old man.
The old man said: "The manifested saints in the heavens have their shadows in the worlds of the ten directions. In response to the wishes of all living beings, they save people universally. They are another existence of the Supreme Beings, but they are not the full picture of the Supreme Beings."
"You are the manifestation of the Great Emperor in one of the worlds in two consecutive lives, and perhaps more lives. It can be said that in this world, you are the Zhenwu Great Emperor in the hearts of all living beings in this world."
For the old man to explain his relationship with Emperor Zhenwu so thoroughly, Zhang Laodao was still unmoved.
When the old man saw this, his heart moved slightly, and his pair of old eyes seemed to penetrate Zhang Sanfeng's heart.
If you look through the vicissitudes of time, you will suddenly see a Taoist thought in Zhang Sanfeng...
"It is a blessing to be able to choose one thing in life and never get easier or give up. In one life, you will also have this idea, but it will be much weaker than the one standing in front of me now." The old man understood something.
, but didn’t care.
Zhang Sanfeng only asked: "Senior, please tell me thoroughly. What did you mean by the previous life?"
The old man recalled: "I only woke up in this life. Maybe we have met in more than one life, but the only thing I can remember is the last life... In that life, you were Zhang Sanfeng. When I met you, this world was not called
Yanfu is called..."
"Earth."
Earth……
If Lu Qingping heard these two words here, I don't know what she would think.
Zhang Sanfeng was completely indifferent because he didn't have the slightest impression.
Just summing up the old man's words, Zhang Sanfeng wanted to know more and said: "Since Pindao is just the manifestation of Emperor Zhenwu, where is Emperor Zhenwu himself? Why did Pindao find his tomb in the starry sky...
…”
The old man's eyes suddenly became desolate, as if he were recalling those years hundreds of thousands of years ago:
"This starts with the resumption of reincarnation in the universe. People, gods, Buddhas, and Tao all want to take the lead and gain the legitimacy of the universe. The first batch of supreme beings to wake up will inevitably fight in advance, even though they have already
We have been extremely familiar with each other for countless years, but the outcome is still different every time..."
"I don't know what the final outcome of that battle will be. I only know that the Emperor will never die so easily..."
"Back then, Old Snake and I were knocked out of the starry sky by three immortals from Yuanshi's sect. My tortoise shell was broken and my soul was crippled. We fell into this desolate star. The remaining spirit was captured by the immortal power left by Yuanshi's lineage on the corpse.
It was sealed so that no one could get out of this star. In the end, I finally waited for you, and the Xuantian soap-carved flag..."
After Zhang Sanfeng heard this, he fell into deep thought. For a long time, the old Taoist looked at the starry sky and saw four familiar auras approaching here, and asked at the same time:
"What is the orthodoxy that the supreme beings of heaven and earth are fighting for?"
The old man said quietly: "To God, it is the wilderness, to Tao, it is heaven, to Buddha, it is whirling, and to man, it is China..."
"These are also the four most representative cosmic epochs of the universe's cycle of reincarnation. In these four cosmic epochs, a total of seventeen supreme beings of heaven and earth appeared, including gods, Taoists, Buddhas, and humans."
"Gods, humans, Taoists, and Buddhas also have different names for the Supreme Being of Heaven and Earth. From ancient times to the present, each tribe has different names, such as the Ancient Emperor of Gods, the Heavenly Lord of Tao, the World Honored One of Buddha, and the Heavenly Emperor of Man."
From the birth of the universe to the present, are there a total of seventeen supreme beings in the world?
Supreme.
The most extreme.
Honorable people are noble.
The Supreme Being of Heaven and Earth...
In the heaven, earth and universe, standing at the highest distance, he is the most noble one.
Can be: Ancient Emperor, Heavenly Lord, World Honored One, Heavenly Emperor.
Zhang Sanfeng's Taoist eyes flashed, he looked at the old man and asked, "Emperor Zhenwu, is he Tao? Is he a human?"
"The Great Emperor is a human being and Zheng Zun is the Tao. There is a difference between the two lives..."
The old man uttered these words leisurely.
Zhang Sanfeng then asked: "You said that the old Taoist had more than one life, and the Zhenwu Emperor must have had more than two lives. What about the other lives?"
The old man looked at Zhang Sanfeng and said, "I only have two lifetimes of memory."
