I want to embrace the moon for nine days

Su Hanshan paused.

"But you don't mean any harm."

He looked at Shi Zhixuan's expression carefully. "You don't want to help your disciple, and you have no interest in Tathagata's magic weapon. You definitely didn't come here to do anything good at Fahai's invitation. So what are you doing here?"

"Just to see the scenery?"

Shi Zhixuan smiled and said, "I did see some nice scenery just now, so now, I'll invite you to see the scenery as well."

The evil king, who was famous all over the world, showed a cheerful smile, his eyes, his hands were folded together, and he stretched them forward gently.

It was as if a country child had caught an insect he had never seen before. He was very careful, not daring to break its wings or let it fly away, so he wanted to show it to his playmates.

A precious world gushed out from his hands, as beautiful as a deep dream. The hazy light instantly spread to the mountains and fields, dispelling the vast desolate mountains and rivers.

Yue Shan, Li Shimin, Xu Ziling and the others, no matter which direction they were in, all felt that indescribable scenery was flying away from them, far away, and going to a place behind them that they could not imagine.

When everything settled down, they found themselves in a prosperous town.

There was a sun in the sky, bright and dazzling, illuminating everything around it with incredible clarity, but it seemed as if it had just rained not long ago.

You can still smell the damp smell on the streets here. Looking up, you can see a thin layer of mist rising from the houses on both sides, and water droplets hanging under the eaves.

The owner of the wine shop was urging his clerk to take down the door panel, the manager of the rouge shop was leaning against the door and eating melon seeds, and the owner of the clothing store drove a horse-drawn carriage to check on the business.

A little further away, you can hear the hawkers selling hot liqueur, and closer you can smell the aroma of sugar-roasted chestnuts.

A woman in plain clothes and a straw hairpin walked hurriedly by, holding her child.

The windmill in the child's hand touched the corner of Xu Ziling's clothes, and the inferior paint stained Xu Ziling's white clothes with a little color.

The woman's expression changed immediately and she hastened to apologize. Xu Ziling looked at her in confusion and gestured that it was okay.

Until the woman snatched the windmill from the child, carried the child and walked away quickly, Xu Ziling was still staring at her back in a daze.

The woman is fine.

With Xu Ziling's cultivation of "Innate Kunyuan Shortcut Method", he could even feel various traces of this woman's life and work in various places in this town and in the nearby fields over the past decades.

It's so normal, so ordinary.

Did Shi Zhixuan use all his power to bring everyone here just to see these? What was his intention?

Kou Zhong bought a basket of buns, took a bite, and his expression changed drastically: "This!"

Xu Ziling was startled, held his wrist, and looked at the bun he had bitten, but didn't see anything unusual.

Kou Zhong's cheeks puffed up, and he was obviously chewing half of the bun. He said vaguely, "This bun is so ordinary."

Xu Ziling let go of his wrist and sighed.

"Don't think too much, Mr. Ling."

Kou Zhong said indifferently, "Suppose the two of us together can deal with Shi Zhixuan, but we are slightly inferior, then we can do everything we can to make up for it."

“But if our cultivation becomes ten times stronger, and Shi Zhixuan also becomes ten times stronger, the gap between us will also widen ten times.”

"At this time, we may not even be able to sense his moves. Fighting him is not something we need to take on right now. Why bother ourselves with it?"

Xu Ziling smiled and said, "It seems that I am not the only mediocre person you are talking about."

Prince Harsha walked in front of them, holding a bowl of sweet wine in his hand, looking at the wine with a worried look on his face.

"The Buddha said that there are 84,000 insects in a bowl of water, but that is already clean water. Really dirty water, ordinary water, and even those fine wines with a mellow taste, contain billions of microscopic insects."

Prince Harsha kept muttering, "People exist in this world, and they reproduce and thrive. As time goes by, blood changes, and these micro-worms will also change with the times."

Kou Zhong asked curiously, "We can also see these insects, but we can't see any blood relationship. Did you see something strange?"

"I, Qingliang Fajie, started my practice by practicing the Water Contemplation Mantra. Throughout the generations, I have conducted in-depth research on the insects in the water."

Prince Harsha sighed and said, "These microworms are indeed very similar to the microworms in the outside world, but there are also differences. This means that one day, they entered an environment that is completely different from the outside world, and then began to evolve in that new environment. The point of this divergence is probably..."

He was silent for a moment, tapping the ground with his toes, calculating continuously, and finally an expression of disbelief appeared on his face.

"It was more than 30,000 years ago!!"

Kou Zhong was so frightened that the bun in his hand dropped.

The two Yangzhou dragons said in unison: "Thirty thousand years?!"

Xu Ziling was puzzled: "That is to say, the place where we are located and the world we are familiar with have actually been separated for 30,000 years."

"The Peach Blossom Spring of 30,000 years, this, this..."

Li Shimin's voice came from afar: "This is unrealistic!"

“So I feel like, this is just not reality.”

Li Shimin was holding a newly bought little sugar man in his hand, and he walked over in a somewhat strange route, bending left and right.

Prince Harsha and his men were all experts and could tell at a glance that his pace avoided everyone's shadows.

Kou Zhong asked: "What did you find out?"

"You observe the bodies, bloodlines, and souls of these people. Everything seems normal. They are the evolution of thousands of people. But I feel that everything here may be the same entity."

Li Shimin raised the sugar man in his hand and said, "Because just now, I tried to enter a person's shadow, but I did not pass through the corresponding person, but came out from this sugar man."

"This is definitely not an illusion, but it is definitely not the normal world either."

"It's like there is a being that wants to separate itself into all things in the mortal world, but it fails to do so completely. Therefore, there is still a transcendental connection between all things."

It goes without saying who the one who wants to split his own existence is.

Under an old tree outside the city, two old men were playing chess.

Su Hanshan and Shi Zhixuan stood beside this tree, with the sounds of chess pieces falling and the words "kill" and "eat" spoken by the old man as the background music.

"Children these days are really amazing. Just by getting together like this, they can already see the truth about this place."

Shi Zhixuan put his hands in his sleeves, looking very happy: "It would be great if Li Shimin could be my apprentice."

"However, due to their limited cultivation, there are still some things they haven't felt yet. Brother Su should have noticed it?"

Su Hanshan raised his left hand, and the sunlight shining through the leaves fell on his hand, creating mottled light and shadows.

"One day and one night equals a hundred years in the human world."

Su Hanshan said, "The reason why this great secret realm you maintain is neither true nor false is because you have pushed everything in this secret realm to a level that is unbearable under normal circumstances."

"One day in the outside world is equivalent to a hundred years here."

This secret realm is actually only a few hundred miles in radius, but it contains real vital energy substances and maintains an evolution speed of a hundred years in one night within this few hundred miles.

More than one year in the outside world is equivalent to more than 30,000 years here.

The fact that this evolution has lasted for such a long time without interruption is definitely a terrifying and huge project.

Su Hanshan felt a headache just thinking about it.

In other words, normal people would never do that.

"I heard that when the Evil King was young, he was diagnosed with schizophrenia and had two personalities. After you founded the Evil Alliance, your cultivation level increased day by day, and your behavior remained consistent. Many people believed that you were cured."

Su Hanshan looked at this great secret realm and said with a sigh, "It seems that you are not cured at all, but your illness has become more serious."

"If a person can be this sick, he is no different from a god!"

In the Xuanyuan dimension, there is a technology called the tribe guardian god. By using the concept of the entire tribe, a guardian god that is similar to a sixth-order celestial being is extracted. This guardian god also possesses spiritual light.

In Su Hanshan's opinion, Shi Zhixuan's condition was no longer that of a warrior.

He is like the patron saint of a tribe, and a patron saint with 30,000 years of experience, and has the cultivation level of the peak eighth level.

The original man and woman of this entire ethnic group should have been split apart by him.

After that, he never cared about it, but just focused on maintaining the state of one night and one hundred years. He allowed the man and woman to reproduce in this secret place until they became the current tribe.

"This is the supreme secret book of the Demon Sect. For the ancestors of all generations, it was just a cultivation method in theory, but I have mastered it."

Shi Zhixuan laughed, but it was not a proud smile, but a mocking one, and said, "Because I just have this talent, and I even have this destiny."

"Because I have the so-called destiny of three lives and three worlds of gods and demons."

This fate is not only a legend of the Demonic Sect, but also a legend of Buddhism.

It is said that people with this kind of fate will be gods and Buddhas in three lives, but they will also be demons in three lives.

If a person with this kind of destiny appears in a certain era, if the Demon Sect obtains it, it will be able to achieve unprecedented prosperity, and if the Buddhist Sect obtains it, it will also obtain supreme Bodhi.

Su Hanshan found it a little strange.

This kind of fate seems to have something to do with Monk Tianjue.

The fact that Monk Tianjue was able to reincarnate successively and achieve accomplishments in three lifetimes was related to the original demonic energy and also had a lot to do with his own understanding.

Although Monk Tianjue is dead, his deeds are likely still driven by the original evil spirit and condensed into the so-called destiny in this new historical channel.

“When I was young, I didn’t understand what this fate meant. I just enjoyed the pleasure of being particularly easy to practice the two techniques of Buddha and Demon.”

Shi Zhixuan said, "In fact, long before I became Jiaxiang's disciple, I had read countless Buddhist scriptures, quoted extensively, and used them to verify my magic skills."

"The most powerful sect of the Demon Sect is called the Evil Extreme Sect. It once kept the relics of the Evil Emperor and was in charge of the Demon Sect's supreme secrets. It was able to use the relics of the Evil Emperor to enlighten the four great demons in the world."

"To the east is Sanghuangyaofu Heaven, to the west is Balaliren Heaven, to the south is Youyouyama Heaven, and to the north is Yakshaashura Heaven."

"With the help of the four celestial demons, he cultivated himself into the central celestial demon master, also known as the Para-Zhizai Tian."

The Demon Sect's goal is to retain the complete will and spirituality of the demons while being able to easily control them.

It is said that after cultivating into "Taiwan's Self-loving Heaven", one can reach this stage, and all evil spirits and monsters in the world can be possessed by Taiwan's Self-loving Heaven at will and played with as they please.

Many sect masters of all generations made mistakes when practicing this step. They were able to split themselves into thousands of evil monsters and demons, but were unable to gather themselves back together. They were unable to achieve true freedom, and instead became the mother of evil.

Throughout the ages, there are countless demons in this world, all of which are the corpses of the successive leaders of the demon sects.

Compared with all the previous sect leaders, Shi Zhixuan had a huge disadvantage. He had never found the evil emperor's relics, and it was impossible for him to practice this supreme secret technique.

However, he was supported by the power of destiny, and he studied various classics. After managing this great secret realm, he actually achieved the astonishing achievement of "a hundred years in one night".

In this process, he increasingly realized the truth that "all living beings are a whole."

He has now achieved the step of dispersing and reuniting that all the previous leaders of the Demon Sect have failed to achieve.

Everything in this great secret realm was divided by him, and the more it was divided, the more it was degraded, until it reached the mortal world.

As for the outside world, the universe, and all living things, were originally differentiated from a whole. It was just that the more they were separated and the longer they were separated, the more differences and barriers they had, making it impossible to communicate and control.

This step of dispersing and reuniting is actually to lead all beings of the entire era to go back to the origin and return to the original unity.

At that moment, the barriers between all living beings naturally melt away, and the warrior stands in that state again, looking back at all living beings in the future.

Of course, you can project your mind at any time and descend upon future evil spirits and monsters without any obstacles, or you can possess any other things for fun.

He transformed himself into a demon and played freely.

Su Hanshan wanted to admire it, but he couldn't help frowning.

The supreme secret technique of this demon sect is indeed a mysterious and infinite realm.

But the problem is that this is a world that has been severely eroded by the primordial demon king. After the idea of ​​this supreme secret method came up among our predecessors, many of the specific steps were obviously affected by the primordial demonic energy and subtly led astray.

When this path reaches the last step, I am afraid that the devil will take advantage of me.

All living beings in this river will be devoured by the original demon king, and then he will transform into the free heaven and continue to descend into other historical rivers to stir up trouble.

No matter what the people who practice this path think, they will unknowingly become the most terrifying accomplices of the original demon king.

"you……"

Su Hanshan pondered, "Did Fahai's connection with you lead you to know about the original demon king and give up this route?"

"It was indeed Fahai's connection, plus your appearance, and a series of supporting evidence that made me make up my mind. But long before that, I could have taken that step, but I hesitated about this path."

Shi Zhixuan said, "Because there are too many books in this world."

"I read too many books, but not every book is about gods, Buddhas, or demons."

He laughed. "I've read so many books, why do I have to become a god or a demon?"

"If this is destiny, why should I obey him?"

Su Hanshan thought thoughtfully: "So you want to evolve into the mortal world?"

If one becomes a mortal in the mundane world, then one is indeed neither a god nor a demon.

"I don't like being too ordinary."

Shi Zhixuan pulled out his hand, and it turned out that there were no palm lines on it.

He looked at the blank space.

"I have become one of countless mortals. Let them be as human beings. As the evil king, I must be strong, magnificent, and beautiful."

"I am eager to find something like that, but it is neither a god nor a demon, neither life nor death."

"As the evil king, I just want to coexist with things that are not part of the destiny of gods and demons."

Su Hanshan was a little puzzled.

He is a very practical person and never likes to talk about philosophy. Even if his Taoism is so profound, to him, it is just a mood.

In short, he can't empathize with people like Shi Zhixuan who are always in the artistic style.

But he was particularly sensitive to other things and laughed about them.

"Although I have no good intentions, nor do I have any bad intentions, but I already know what you are going to do."

Su Hanshan turned around and looked at the chess piece behind him. He didn't know when there were only two pieces left on the board, a general and a commander.

"You're ready to fight!"

The two old men were looking at Su Hanshan with a smile and did not deny it.

Although Shi Zhixuan wanted these mortals to be mortals and wanted himself to become the evil king.

But he himself has not really found that kind of power, and these people naturally have not really become people, but are still part of his spiritual light.

"I want to find that kind of power. I can't go back to the origin, I just want to look to the future. I feel like I'm just a little bit short of it. I can't bear it any longer. But I'm the Evil King, not the Demon King, and I can't verify it with the demons."

The two old men said in unison, "So, I can't go to find Yang Guang, and even Mahaye who once walked the path of Buddha and Demon can't do that. He could have just now, but he has been killed by you."

"I originally wanted to wait for the day when Ning Daoqi, who was like a turtle hiding his head, was willing to show up with the other two people, or wait until Song Que came out of seclusion."

"But since I have you, why should I wait any longer..."

Shi Zhixuan extended his hand to invite him, and his empty palm was unusually bright.

"Why not come now and prove my magical power!"

The leaves fell, more wrinkles appeared on the old man's face, and there was more dust on the chessboard.

Su Hanshan looked at this world that lasted for a hundred years in one night, and he knew very well in his heart that for Shi Zhixuan, who had been maintaining this state for a long time and trying hard not to become a demon, this was already the limit of his endurance.

If he hadn't met Su Hanshan, he might have been able to continue to endure, but now there was no reason for him to postpone this battle.

“I am a studious and curious person.”

A star totem appeared behind Su Hanshan, with four symbols appearing simultaneously. He said in a shocking voice, "Then let me see it."

"What on earth is it that you expect to be neither a god nor a demon, neither alive nor dead, nor a secular being?" (End of this chapter)
