I want to embrace the moon for nine days

It is a vast white space with soft light and seemingly no boundaries.

Two figures suddenly appeared here.

Su Hanshan grabbed Shu Daonan's shoulders, and the Huayang Tai Chi mark on the back of his hand was still slowly rotating.

"You really came in?!"

Shu Dao Nan was surprised and delighted, looking him up and down, "He came in with a complete cultivation foundation, that's great."

Su Hanshan calmed himself down. The operation of the secret realm in his body was still somewhat affected. Time seemed to speed up and slow down. After a while, he finally returned to calm.

He looked up and saw a large group of people rushing into the space.

The one who came the fastest among them was a tall, thin, middle-aged man in a white shirt. He smiled and said, "You really came in. Great, great, let me introduce myself. I'm Shui Longyin."

Su Hanshan glanced at him, and a small emerald green grasshopper appeared on his fingertips and jumped directly onto Shui Longyin.

"So this poisonous insect is your method. No wonder when I wanted to use it to track down the difficult road to Shu, I couldn't trace any connection at all."

The situations of these retrogrades are special, and the vast majority of them only exist in this space as souls.

Only a few have developed their own aura.

But with the help of the Chaos Light Brain, all the retrogrades jointly forged a combat body, which was the body that Shu Daonan used outside.

Shu Daonan has the most comprehensive cultivation among everyone. Even without that combat body, he is still a seventh-level strongman, possessing spiritual light and an immortal magical power.

If that combat body is used, it would be equivalent to the peak of the seventh level, possessing three immortal magical powers.

In the past six months, with the blessing of the karma of the universe, Shu Daonan has mastered all the sword skills of the Five Mountains Sword Sect. Although he has only condensed one more immortal magical power, the quality is extremely high and he can use all five sword skills at will.

It is similar to how Qiu Xiaochi can use his magical power of the realm of desire to perform the Six Paths of Reincarnation Sword Formation and display the six characteristics of the six paths.

Now Shu Daonan, in his combat state, has already become a solid eighth-rank warrior.

However, he is only good at fighting, and the situations within historical nodes are often strange and varied.

When it comes to gathering information, spreading rumors, and even the unique skills in casting, medicine, hydrology, education, undercover, bloodline, love, etc. that are sometimes needed.

It is still necessary to let your companions take turns to control the combat body so that it will be convenient to act.

"This time, the historical node went too smoothly. You solved the biggest threat at the beginning, and since then, there has been basically no need for us to join the battle. We can finally relax for a while."

Shui Longyin smiled and joked, introducing it to everyone.

A few who looked particularly cheerful greeted Su Hanshan.

But most people are silent.

They are soldiers who grew up in a world that is almost doomsday. Faced with a historical landscape that could change at any time and a real city that could be turned upside down at any time, silence is the best protection for themselves.

They once had many companions with lively personalities, but they either died in battle or were more likely to commit suicide due to their emotional instability.

Shui Longyin led the way in front.

Su Hanshan soon saw a large area of ​​buildings, including quaint courtyard pavilions and small bungalows made of colorful candies.

There are also ordinary dormitory buildings, as well as huge mechanical furnaces that constantly spew out steam, and houses pieced together by mechanical arms.

The people living here are all souls, and these houses are all woven by their mental power.

Because they have fought in battles at different historical nodes, the most profound impressions left on them will be reflected in their minds, causing changes in the appearance of their houses.

It seems that although they appear silent on the outside, they still have a passion for life in their hearts.

The area surrounded by these houses is a square.

The huge mechanical base, with its interconnected wires and pipes, covers the entire square, leaving no place for people to stand.

At the very center, standing on the base, is the Chaos Optical Computer.

From the outside, it looks like billions of white needle-like lights, arranged in an orderly manner into a circular wheel.

The wheel is hollow, with a mass of mist in the middle whose color and shape keep changing. Most of the time, it appears as a mottled gray with white, and it keeps surging.

Su Hanshan stared at the Chaos Light Brain for a moment, his eyes a little dazed.

He seemed to be able to feel that another huge force, beyond words, was pulling, biting, and fighting with this chaotic light brain, entangled inside and outside the long river of history, and confronting each other upstream and downstream of the torrent of time.

Su Hanshan blinked and looked down at his Tai Chi mark.

Back in the Xuanyuan Labyrinth, when approaching the Boundless Celebration Cloud, the Tai Chi Mark exuded an extremely strong desire. If Su Hanshan had not taken the initiative to suppress it, it would probably have rushed over and brought the Boundless Celebration Cloud back to the human world of Yuanjie.

But in this space, the rotation of the Tai Chi mark is very slow.

Not only was this mark not brought back to the Chaos Light Brain in a hurry, it also had a subtle resonance, as if radiating power outwards to support the operation of the light brain.

Most people did not enter this square.

Only "The Difficult Road to Shu" and "Shui Long Yin" were floating in the air and followed.

"Normally, when our combat body enters a certain historical node, we can use this optical brain to observe the situation within the historical node from the perspective of the combat body."

Shui Longyin explained, "But now we have entered a state of transition, heading towards a certain node upstream of time. During this process, we cannot observe the outside world."

Su Hanshan came back to his senses: "I heard that your original intention of studying optical computers was to record all real historical and disaster information?"

"Every time I traveled through a historical node before, there should be records. Now I can't observe the outside world, but those stored records should not affect my access, right?"

Shui Longyin shook his head: "The strength and gains of those historical nodes are not as good as the historical node you participated in before."

"If he wants to watch, let him watch."

Shu Dao Nan put his hand on Shui Longyin's shoulder and said, "You haven't been observing the outside world all the time, otherwise you would know that he is interested in the skills of bricklayers in the Yangzhai business and has carefully observed them."

"The level of the seven brothers of Yangzhai is about the same as ours before the three time travels."

Shui Longyin was a little surprised and nodded: "Okay, wait for me to adjust it to the query mode. If you want to check something, just talk to the light brain directly."

Su Hanshan explained earnestly: "The potential of many techniques is hidden in inconspicuous places. One more perspective may bring one more dimension to practice and one more way to control the Dao."

He knew very well that people like Shu Daonan and Shui Longyin were gifted to become members of the Time Reversers. If they were placed in a normal environment, they would most likely be able to appreciate the Taoist charm in the ordinary and see the potential for civilization budding in every new historical channel.

However, the pressure they are under is too great, which inevitably leads to a mentality of impatience for progress, and their attainments in the Tao cannot be improved.

Even if it is for the purpose of fighting, one must have a pure heart of Taoism, pure fighting blood, and an endless fighting spirit, and become stronger with each battle.

Shui Longyin was startled, as if he understood Su Hanshan's thoughts.

"I'm drunk all the time, easily irritable, prone to giggling, and always bring up your arrogance when you joined the team. You must think I'm boring, right?"

Shu Daonan looked at his comrades and said, "But I'm the fastest among you, and there's a reason for that. Apart from fighting and gaining, you haven't been able to find pleasure in anything else for a long time."

"In fact, many of you just want to keep going on the road of fighting, but you haven't thought about whether we can really defeat the Demon King."

Shui Longyin paused for a few seconds and glanced at him: "You are really boring to suddenly become sentimental and preachy."

Before he finished speaking, Shui Longyin quickly stepped forward and adjusted the base of the Chaos Light Computer, as if he didn't want to talk to them anymore.

The road to Shu was difficult and he laughed.

Su Hanshan also smiled.

Whether it is spiritual practice or life, anything related to "understanding" actually depends on fate.

The same thing, the same words, when done by different people, will feel completely different. Even the same person doing it at different times will bring about completely different impacts.

No matter how much Su Hanshan said just now, it might only make some sense to Shui Longyin. But if he thought about it carefully, he felt that it was just nonsense preaching.

The difficult thing about the Shu Road is that it actually gave Shui Longyin real insight and the reason for the change that had already sprouted in his heart.

After Shui Longyin had adjusted himself, he did not leave, but remained hanging in front of the Chaos Light Brain, as if he also wanted to review the records of various historical nodes.

The Chaos Optical Computer was divided into multiple areas, and multiple screen images appeared, some of which were images and some were files.

The weakest of the three is also a person who has developed self-aurasion, and his ability to browse information is far beyond ordinary people.

To others, on the chaotic light brain, there were some colorful lights rushing down rapidly, without beginning or end, and without end.

In about two hours, the three of them browsed through the records of their previous time travels, which contained a lot of technical compressed packages with huge amounts of information and details of the exercises, and there were many pauses.

Su Hanshan also knew that the disasters caused by the Demon King's erosion of history could be divided into two types.

One is that when the power of the devil floats down from upstream, it has been diluted by the light of the universe. Even if it causes a disaster, it is often manifested in the form of natural disasters, evil spirits, and behemoths.

The other is the disaster of true demons.

It is the trajectory through which the undiluted power of the Demon King flows directly. The historical figures and related events on this trajectory will lose their vitality and become a mere image.

If the retrograde reaches the corresponding historical node and communicates with other beings, it can still interact, but if it communicates with such beings, it will not get any feedback.

The records of each historical node are stored separately.

After all these time-travel records were played, the optical brain began to automatically display the database of the 23rd century.

That was what was originally going to be stored in the optical computer.

Su Hanshan watched quietly, and suddenly his pupils contracted. He thought about it and clicked pause again.

What was shown on that small screen was a photo of a young man with a buzz cut, wearing sportswear, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and full of energy.

The other screens were still running, but Su Hanshan didn't pay attention to them. All his attention was focused on this image.

After staring for a few seconds, he silently raised his hand, projected the screen about two feet in front of him, and gently slid it with his fingers.

Shu Dao Nan also came over to take a look when he saw this.

It turned out to be a file of supernatural disappearances.

At the beginning of the 21st century, many mysterious disappearances occurred around the world. Humanity later learned that the Devil had already been influencing history and eroding reality at that time.

This person is one of the missing persons in the 21st century, ranked more than 900th. He is neither the first nor the last, so there is nothing special about him.

Oh, no, there is something special. "For missing persons who have been corrupted by the power of the devil, the relevant personnel will have two memories in their minds at the same time. One is the normal memory, and the other is that they have no impression of this person at all."

Shu Daonan looked at the information and muttered, "This missing person was born in Baima Town in the Yangtze River Delta, and also disappeared there."

"But after he disappeared out of thin air under the street camera, his parents only had normal memories, no second abnormal memories. Even his neighbors, fellow villagers, teachers, and classmates only had normal memories."

Shui Longyin also floated over and asked in confusion, "It sounds a bit strange. Did Brother Su find anything unusual?"

Su Hanshan paused his finger above the screen, expressionless, and said, "Maybe this person didn't disappear because of the power of the Demon King."

His fingers curled up imperceptibly before pressing down again to check the family connections of the missing person.

Shu Dao gave him an awkward look and said, "Well, most families with missing persons basically don't survive more than three years and will be listed as missing."

"His family was OK. His parents lived to be sixty-nine and seventy-one respectively. They didn't experience any major disasters or need to relocate until a true demon disaster. The place they lived in was instantly destroyed."

Su Hanshan stared at the record for a long time.

The missing person's name, title, hometown, and date of disappearance are all exactly the same as in his previous life.

The information about parents is also so familiar.

The similar appearance could be a coincidence, but with so many conditions coming together, it should be certain.

'That's clearly me, those are my parents, this world is my hometown?!'

Su Hanshan's mood was extremely complicated.

He has been in this world for half a year, but he really doesn't realize that this is his hometown.

He had also thought that he might never be able to find his hometown in his previous life, but he never thought that he would come back under such circumstances!

How could this happen? This shouldn't be the case.

My past life was clearly just an ordinary world, generally peaceful, at least domestically stable.

But before I traveled through time, there had already been the invasion of the original demon king, there had already been so many missing people, and such a great disaster was lurking in history?

"It shouldn't be..."

Su Hanshan murmured unconsciously, and suddenly reached out to grab at the void.

His mental power turned directly into reality, and a family photo appeared on his palm.

The parents in the photo are still in their prime, but they are changing little by little.

In the archives, there are only a few lines of text about the family's follow-up, and no photos of the couple when they were old.

Su Hanshan stared at the photo, and the power of the entire Void Secret Realm began to operate, just to estimate what they would look like when they aged.

Shu Daonan and Shui Longyin were still somewhat confused, but they gradually realized that Su Hanshan probably had not discovered any major problems.

The reason for the unusual behavior may be other factors.

"Both of you."

Su Hanshan looked at the transformed photo and said, "Can I be alone for a moment?"

The two men left the square without saying a word.

Su Hanshan looked at the family in the photo, two old people and a young man.

If he wanted, he could even calculate what the family of three would look like if they lived to be over a hundred years old, but that would be meaningless.

"Hanshan!"

For a moment, Su Hanshan actually had an illusion that the person in the photo was calling him.

But he suddenly remembered that his name was not Hanshan in his previous life.

“It’s the Grandmaster.”

Su Hanshan raised his head, looked at the vast white sky, and said softly: "Where is the ancestor? I have been here for half a year. Can you show your face?"

The Seventh Generation Patriarch was silent for a moment: "You don't seem to be in a good mood, what happened?"

"If you had shown up earlier, I would have been in a good mood by then."

Su Hanshan sighed and put away the photo. "I just found out that this is my hometown world, but there is something wrong with the history here..."

After listening to all the stories, the Seventh Generation Master sighed and said, "So that's how it is. There will always be separation in the world."

"Alright, Master, let's get down to business. This is not the first time I've faced the eternal farewell of my parents in my past and present lives. I don't want to talk about this any more."

Su Hanshan spoke a little too fast, then slowed down and said, "I just discovered that when faced with this kind of thing, my grief was not as deep as I imagined. Even my killing intent towards the Demon King, haha, towards this villain who manipulates history and tramples on life, my killing intent was already firm to a certain limit, and it doesn't seem to have exceeded the limit because of this."

"It's just that I have a feeling of regret, a deep one, and I suddenly want to go home. I want to go to Baima and Xueling. Don't worry, Master, I can adjust myself."

The Seventh Generation Patriarch said gently: "Okay, let's get down to business."

"There's something wrong with time in this world. No wonder I always find it hard to determine where I'll land. It was because the Tai Chi Mark was under some kind of pressure just now, and its remote sensing ability became stronger, which allowed me to detect it."

The Boundless Celebration Cloud has a huge impact on the void dimension, and the Chaos Light Brain has a clever use of cause and effect.

The characteristic of Tai Chi mark is induction, which is to search remotely and find the corresponding target under psychological expectation.

Therefore, if this mark is to provide support for the Chaos Optical Computer, the best option is to strengthen remote sensing with the Seventh Generation Ancestor so that he can get in touch with this side.

Su Hanshan had previously actively promoted the Tai Chi Mark, but had not achieved this effect. It seemed that he was still a long way from fully understanding this mark.

"Since I have already seen the problem of time, I can use my own cultivation to adjust the operation of the Boundless Celebration Cloud, accumulate strength, and wait for the opportunity to connect."

The ancestor continued, "Although I have never seen the original Demon King's fetus, there have been several Demon King's fetuses in the records of previous demonic disasters. Often, the current True Lord had to take action personally to ensure their destruction."

"This kind of demon king is an abnormal existence. Unlike ordinary demons, it does not have a main body and stable intelligent thinking. But it is not as low-intelligence as monsters. Your understanding of it is still biased."

"The Demon King's counterattack may not be instinctive, but may be the result of a cunning plot. The closer you are to the upstream of time, the more careful you must be. Even in this chaotic light brain space, you must not relax."

Just as Su Hanshan was about to answer, the entire space suddenly shook.

Damn, how come what I say comes true?
No, it should be that the ancestor has vaguely sensed something, which is why he gave this reminder.

When Su Hanshan reacted, he found that the light wheel on the outer layer of the Chaos Light Brain had begun to rotate and made a long buzzing sound.

Everyone was alarmed, the road to Shu was the fastest.

"The rotation of the light wheel means that we have reached a new historical node. We can enter now."

Shu Daonan looked very nervous, "But the phenomenon of the entire space shaking has never happened before."

Before he finished speaking, Su Hanshan and Shu Daonan, the two people closest to the optical computer, were swallowed up by the mysterious suction force of the optical computer.

At the same time, the entire space shook again.

Vast mountains and seas, the Great Wall, rivers, palaces, cities, snow-capped mountains, plateaus, jungles, and deserts.

All living things on earth looked up as if they sensed something.

The scarlet light, accompanied by rolling clouds, stretched from west to east across the entire sky. The trajectory of the blood-colored clouds rolled, expanded, and became more and more brilliant, as if it was pressing down on the city and was within reach.

"Neither real nor fake, the king of comets, the Chiyou flag that is neither in the human world nor in the sky, has appeared again!"

The old Taoist priest at the seashore looked up at the stars and stroked his beard, "The world is already full of troubles, and from now on it is even more in danger of collapse."

In a big city in the north, thousands of monks and hundreds of thousands of believers are listening to an old monk preaching. The sky is filled with golden lotus and the fragrance is wafting in the air.

The drastic changes in the celestial phenomena caused panic among the people, but the sound of a wooden fish suppressed the distracting thoughts in everyone's mind.

The old monk remained silent, stood up and left, silently calculating the direction in his mind, thinking: The Buddha's prophecy is about to come true.

In the palace, the man in a long robe with disheveled hair, as usual, was indifferent to the court singing and dancing, and the Chiyou flag in the sky did not arouse his interest at all.

Amber wine dripped onto the amber blade, but the spine of the blade was covered with white bones.

There are records in "Lüshi Chunqiu" and "Book of Jin·Astronomy": The evil star is called Chiyouqi, which is similar to a comet but then bends, like a flag.

"Huang Lan" said: There was red gas coming out, like a piece of crimson silk, and people called it the Chiyou Flag.

It was a scarlet comet with a horn. When it passed across the sky, it looked like a long red cloth fluttering in the sky.

The celestial phenomena will not fall, but those who cause them will fall.

The directions of people and celestial phenomena are not consistent, but they are wonderfully connected, so that true masters can feel it as long as they are within a certain range.

When Shu Daonan appeared in a valley, he raised his head in confusion.

"What is that, such a big red light?"

"By the way, the shock just now caused Brother Su and I to fall to different locations. I don't know how far apart we are."

Shu Daonan took out the communication token Su Hanshan gave him, but found that the communication was interrupted. He frowned and looked up.

On the mountain ahead, soldiers in iron armor stretched out in a huge crowd, with flags flying and horses neighing.

The bearded general in silver armor and red robe, without a helmet, held a large sword in his hand and looked over with a serious look.

"As expected of the Demon Lord, he actually looks like a human being, completely different from the ordinary evil monsters."

Shu Daonan raised his eyebrows when he heard his words: "Demon Lord, who?"

"Why does the Demon Lord need to hide it? The Chiyou Flag is also known as the Red Demon Star. Many sages have predicted that when the Demon Star is born, the Demon Lord will descend!"

The general holding the sword pointed at the red light in the sky and said, "You correspond to the celestial phenomena. The connection between them is obvious."

The rough man blinked his eyes as big as copper bells and pointed his thumb at himself.

"Demon Lord, me?!"
