Chapter 901 – Chaotic Samsara
A dilapidated border fortress, a veteran on the verge of death. The cold northwest wind, the desolate melody, the empty wine pot in his callused hand, after many years, even the taste of the wine had disappeared. The wine gourd had always been hanging on his body. If he was hungry, he would drink a mouthful of the air inside. Even the faint smell of alcohol was extremely precious.
It was loneliness.
An Zheng stood beside the old soldier and looked towards the southeast with him.
“Uncle, are you the only one left here?”
“After the fierce battle in Huogu Kowloon, I am the only one left here. The immortals of the Great Zhou Dynasty fought with the bandits here, and their blood stained the yellow sand. At that time, the situation had been extremely urgent. The Daofather had ridden a bull to the west and delivered a book. From then on, I didn’t dare to say anything. ”
The old man spoke with pride, “Fifty years have passed since today.”
“Fifty years?”
An Zheng’s heart was in turmoil. It could be said that it was only fifty years since the Daofather had left the Huogu Kowloon on his ox. In that case, it should be the Spring and Autumn Period of ancient times. At that time, all the hundred clans belonged to the Great Zhou Empire, a period when the Central Plains’ culture was flourishing. To be exact, the Great Zhou before the Great Xi was known as the Zhou in history.
It was said that the Daofather was a citizen of the Great Zhou Empire and the founder of the Dao Sect. However, there was another legend at home. The Daofather had created the Dao Sect of the Mortal Realm. The Dao Sect was divided into the Dao of the Heavens, the Dao of the Earth and the Dao of Hell. The founder of the Celestial Dao, the master of the Dao Ancestor, the Dao Ancestor …
However, these were all legends, and there was no way to verify them. It was rumored that the Daofather had had three apprentice-brothers, and that the founder of the Hollow Jade Temple legacy that An Zheng had acquired was the Daofather’s junior apprentice-brother. The other Heavenly Goblin Beast that An Zheng had obtained was also detailedly recorded by the Daofather’s other junior brother. These three martial brothers could be said to be the three great mountains in the cultivation world of Central Plains at that time.
But later on, for some reason, they became embroiled in the great war between Immortals.
An Zheng’s heart was in turmoil, after pondering for a moment, he guessed that they were hidden under the Huogu Kowloon’s statue of the Ancestor riding a cow. When Tian Haogong’s attack had landed on the Dao Ancestor’s statue, some sort of formation had been triggered and it had actually sent him to this Spring and Autumn period. But, how should he go back? And why did he come?
At this moment, the melodious sound of a flute suddenly came from afar. An old ox carrying a Old Taoist slowly came from the east, and that was where the flute music came from. However, the flute was not played by the Old Taoist, who was lying on the ox’s back and had fallen asleep. The flute hung right next to the old cow’s nose. As the breath from the flute blew, the flute began to play a wonderful tune. It was truly magical.
An Zheng thought to himself, what’s going on, why is time in such a mess?
The old soldier rubbed his eyes before he kneeled down. “Immortal!”
Old Taoist sat up from the cow’s back and also rubbed his eyes. He glanced at the old soldier and asked, “Where is the deity?”
The old soldier pointed at him witrembling hand. “Aren’t you?”
Old Taoist curled his lips, “You are the immortal, your entire family is filled with immortals. I am a human, jusuman. ”
An Zheng cupped his fists: “Senior.”
Old Taoist glanced at An Zheng, and said with narrowed eyes: “In the end, I still came … If I didn’t bring you here, my statue would have been destroyed by you. Since you’re here, don’t go back. Why don’t you come with me and ask? ”
An Zheng shook his head: “If you want to go back, I can’t let you go.”
The Old Taoist coldly snorted: “The people of this world have always wanted me to bring along people for cultivation like crucian carp crossing the river. Do you know what a great opportunity it is? With your talent, there’s no need for you to be so talented. In jusundred years, you’ll be on par with the Immortal Emperor. ”
“No.”
An Zheng still shook his head: “There’s too much to let go.”
Old Taoist sighed: “Fine, then I’ll send you back.”
“However, Senior only asked me to come here to ask if I was willing to follow you.”
“No, I’m telling you. Because of your appearance, time has gone out of control. You’re a dead man, but you’re not dead. That is forcing the cycle of reincarnation, and your constant revenge is forcing Karma. Karma, reincarnation, everything was in chaos, and so was time. If you can’t adjust your time back, then the chaos of the world is none other than you. ”
“I think it’s a bit unfair.”
An Zheng said: “Senior has always said that it is forced, but I did not wish for my rebirth.”
“Who else could it be other than you?”
Old Taoist snorted, “You think someone was the one who arranged your rebirth? Was it that little fish, or was it some Heavenly Dao? There was no Heavenly Dao in the world, the so-called Heavenly Dao was just a set of rules set by the people living in the Inside the Immortal Palace. If they said it was the Dao of the Heavens, how could ordinary people dare to disobey them? As for that Little Fishy, although she was formed from the aura of this world, if he could rebirth someone easily, then the world would have been thrown into chaos long ago. “Since ancient times, how many cultivators have been reborn who were stronger than you?”
He pointed at An Zheng’s head. “It’s you, you’ve always been the one.”
An Zheng shook his head, it was really hard to understand.
The Old Taoist replied: “It’s fine if you don’t understand, there’s no point in speaking any further. I called you here for two reasons. If you agree to ask me, then there is no need to say the second thing. If you don’t agree, then the second matter can only be resolved by you. ”
Old Taoist caressed the head of the Old Bull gently. “Old partner, follow me for many years. Logically speaking, even if its cultivation base falls, how could future generations of cultivators defeat it? This is one of the reasons why I brought you here. After I left the Huogu Kowloon, the old fellow was actually unwilling to leave his homeland, so he lefortion of his primordial spirit in the Central Plains. Right now, it is sealed within the Huogu Kowloon’s sculpture. I will teach you how to break the formation, and you will bring half of your primordial spirit to the Jinling. After the old fellow obtains his primordial spirit, he will be able to break free from his bindings, and from then on, the sky will be high and the clouds will be vast. ”
An Zheng nodded: “This is what this junior should do.”
Old Taoist waved his hand.
An Zheng subconsciously reached out his right hand. Old Taoist flicked his finger, and a drop of blood from the tip of his finger fell onto An Zheng’s palm. Using that drop of blood, he wrote a word on An Zheng’s palm … Gym.
“Go back, remember my words. Nothing in this world was out of the ordinary. As for you, you only need to keep your heart. That little fish gave you the best luck in the world, and I’ll give you the best opportunity in the world. Time is already messy, you have to remember … If time did not return, then many terrifying people, many terrifying things would appear. In fact … There is more than one sun in the sky and more than one monarch in the world. ”
After saying that, Old Taoist laid down on the back of the cow, patting the Old Bull’s butt: “Let’s go, one trip after another, you and I are trapped here … “I feel a bit annoyed. Are you annoyed that you keep walking like this over and over again?”
“Moo …”
“Idiot.”
Old Taoist laughed out loud, and then slapped the Old Bull’s butt with his palm: “Smack it eighteen times.”
Old Cow: “Moo...”
An Zheng lowered his head and looked at the blood-red word in his hand, and his heart became confused. Old Taoist said that the time line of this world was already messed up. Was it really because of his rebirth, and his rebirth was really not planned by the Holy Fish, but by himself? But how could he arrange for his rebirth? Old Taoist was too confused, no matter how much he thought about it, he could not come up with an answer.
The word “transfer” in his hand suddenly flashed, and An Zheng’s body immediately became ethereal and faint. The veteran looked at An Zheng, his eyes filled with shock: “So it turns out that you are also a deity. This trip was truly worthwhile, the deity had spoken to me before.”
Before An Zheng disappeared, he had used his fastest speed to dig out all the wine in the spatial artifact and throw them out. However, on that thick grassland, even if the wine jar were to fall on it, it wouldn’t be damaged. Vaguely, An Zheng heard the veteran shouting: “Thank you, god for your gift!”
Faintly, it was not just a loud shout. There was also a burst of desolate singing … A strong wind blows, clouds fly, and my soul returns to the sea. I have to leave this place …
With a flash of white light, An Zheng opened his eyes. He was back in Huogu Kowloon City, sitting under the statue of the Patriarch riding a cow. He was still holding onto his yaksha umbrella, and he didn’t know when it had started to rain in the sky. The water on the Old Bull’s body flowed down like streams and a mark appeared on it. That mark was the one that Shang Qingyang had left behind with his previous attack … Beneath the imprint, there seemed to be a faint handwriting.
An Zheng subconsciously raised his hand, but the word “cut” in his palm was still clear. He placed his hand on the words on the old cow’s belly and suddenly felt a buzzing sound in his head. A high-pitched, incomparably excited cow-cry sounded out in An Zheng’s mind, shaking his blood to the point that it boiled over and over. It was an indescribable emotion, and An Zheng felt his heart become flustered and excited along with it.
“It’s time to save Old Cow and the Dragon Lion.”
An Zheng muttered to himself. He came out from under the sculpture, holding onto his yaksha umbrella, he was drenched all over.
“This umbrella is good in every way except for blocking the rain.”
An Zheng sighed and walked towards the inn. After returning to his room and resting for the whole night, An Zheng adjusted his mental state to its best. He had already found a way to open the Gates of Hell. As long as he went to Yan Dashan Mountain and found the Zhou Family members to snatch the Reincarnation Plate, he would be able to save Divisions. Right now, both sides had to save him. One was an old cow, the other a monk. The monk had to be saved as soon as possible. No one knew how long he could last in hell, or if it was just that An Zheng and the others could not admit it, but the monk had already disappeared into thin air.
At daybreak the next day, An Zheng set off for Swallow Mountain. Swallow Mountain was actually not too far away from the Huogu Kowloon. With An Zheng’s speed, it wouldn’t be long before he arrived. Not long after he left the Huogu Kowloon, the Huogu Kowloon’s teleportation circle lit up.
The pavilion master of the Star Observation Pavilion, Tan Shanse, came out of the teleportation formation with a dark expression, followed by a large group of people from the Star Observation Pavilion. He wasn’t in a good mood. He didn’t want to come here. Because someone had gone to Jinling, and he was afraid that something bad might happen.
At the same time, in the Jinling, the white robed young Taoist was looking even more confused. He stood on the main street and raised his head to look at the tallest building north of Jinling. What am I looking for? Why is it that when I was called here, there was nothing left? ”
He turned his head to the northwest and asked, “Just where should I go?”
He turned around and walked out of Jinling. He did not know where he was going. He had been deceiving himself into seeking the Dao, but what was that? Behind him, Chen Wunuo stood under the gigantic statue of the Sacred Emperor, staring at the white robed cultivator’s back with a dark expression.
