The copy of the universe from the journey to the west

Chapter 284: Don't get entangled with sentient beings, walk alone on the road to seek the true fruit (ask for monthly ticket)
Lu Chen looked at these sound recording stones again, kept only Zu Chongzhi's, and collected the rest.

He wanted to hear what words this outstanding disciple of Cheng Gongxing had left for him.

"Master Lu, I am here to greet you, your junior, Zu Chongzhi."

Lu Chen nodded slightly, which was quite polite.

But Zu Chongzhi's next words made Lu Chen's face turn black.

"Master Lu, you did something wrong."

Is it okay to say "I did it wrong"?

He glanced at Zu Sanqi next to him, who smiled helplessly, as if to indicate that Zu Chongzhi was Zu Chongzhi and he was him.

Although Zu Sanqi has Zu Chongzhi's memory, he does not have Zu Chongzhi's thinking ability.

Naturally, Lu Chen would not vent his anger on a puppet for what Zu Chongzhi said. Besides, Lu Chen also wanted to hear what Zu Chongzhi would say.

make a mistake?
What did he do wrong?

"Tianshi, why do you want to seal the memories of all living beings? Is it because all living beings have experienced disasters? Do you want us to forget the past?

For you, forgetting the past is very simple, perhaps just a matter of raising your hand or saying a few words.

But for creatures like us in this world, what you impose on us is just a false memory.

False memories, false world, even when we open our eyes to see the world, we will inexplicably think of this memory... is it true? "

Lu Chen fell silent after hearing this.

His eyes flickered, as if he sensed something.

Zu Chongzhi continued, "Falsehood and truth may be barriers that you can break at will. But for ants like us, they are insurmountable barriers!"

Lu Chen: “…”

No, to me, the barrier between truth and falsehood is also extremely huge!

“… Naturally, I am not in the position of Heavenly Master, so I have no idea what happened to Heavenly Master. Even if I were to circumvent the shackles of Heavenly Dao, the memories I could recover would only be from the time when the sky was overcast. I have no idea what happened after that.

I only heard Master Cheng write in his essay that it was a catastrophe that would destroy heaven and earth. Even with the power of a Heavenly Master, one would have to risk one's life to accomplish it.

Even if the Heavenly Master is his senior brother, Shaoyang Zhenjun is willing to sacrifice his life for justice. Even if it is Master Cheng himself, his potential has been exhausted and his foundation has been completely ruined!
Therefore, Heavenly Master, from the perspective of a practitioner like me who is pursuing the true Great Dao, you have done something wrong.

But, if you look at it from the perspective of all living beings in the universe, you did nothing wrong."

Lu Chen laughed: "This little guy is really good at talking."

It was wrong, and it was not wrong at the same time.

In fact, it is a disguised way of praising oneself.

Lu Chen is not a heartless person. When a person like Zu Chongzhi praises him in a roundabout way, Lu Chen naturally feels happy.

These words are just a little trick of Zu Chongzhi's speaking, and the following words are the main topic.

"Master, if you heard what I said, it means that what I am doing now is right.

Our world is not the real world, but a false world.

However, even if it is false, it still has meaning.

We are small and weak, and there is very little we can do. We will be very satisfied if we can do something for the Heavenly Master.

Now that the underground palace has been built, I have no regrets in this life, and the same goes for Senior Brother Yin.

I, the younger generation, will follow the example of Master Cheng with Senior Brother Yin, and together we will calculate the heaven and earth, and also calculate the future for you, the Heavenly Master..."

The sound stone paused here.

The stone is still glowing, indicating that there is more to come.

Sure enough, after a few breaths, a voice was heard from the sound stone again. It sounded like Zu Chongzhi, but the voice seemed very old and weak.

"I feel so ashamed of myself, Master..."

Zu Chongzhi's voice was filled with confusion and pain.

"Senior Brother Yin has already ascended to heaven. The power of heaven and earth is indeed beyond the comprehension of mortals like us. Senior Brother Yin did not make it and has already died.

Outside the world, countless gluttons are watching us!

Is our world really hopeless?

Taoist Zhang Hui went to outer space and brought back only one sentence before he died.

There is something fishy out there!

There is no future in this world!

Heavenly Master!
What should I do? "

Zu Chongzhi's crying voice was heard.

At this moment, Lu Chen seemed to feel endless sadness.

There is something fishy out there!

Is that a trick?

No, those are the countless powerful True Flow masters who are eyeing the gourd world!

Before Lu Chen left, he saw many True Flow strongmen surrounding him, and he also revealed the figure of Emperor Shaohao...

Lu Chen pursed his lips.

“…Master, I have only deduced one sentence about your future.

Although I don't want to tell you, but Senior Brother Yin said before he died that no matter what your choice is, I will tell you.

This sentence is:
Don’t get entangled with sentient beings, walk the path alone to seek true results.

Heavenly Master...

Does it mean that if we want to achieve our true self, we really have to forget about emotions, righteousness, and kindness?
This……

Is it considered a fairy? !
Is he a god?!
Is this a human being?
Heavenly Master..."

After a long, almost hysterical sigh, the sound stone lost its luster.

Lu Chen held the voice stone in his hand for a long time without saying anything.

“Don’t get entangled with sentient beings, walk the great path alone to seek the true fruit… Is this my future path?”

Even Lu Chen couldn't help but feel a little dazed.

Just like Zu Chongzhi’s last rhetorical question.

Is this a human being?

Is that human being?

No, this is no longer a human being.

This is the real God, the real immortal, the real... Heavenly Way!
To be honest, Lu Chen's heart couldn't help but skip a beat.

If I continue along this path, will I be able to go very far?
Zu Chongzhi didn't say it, and he couldn't figure it out.

However, the future predicted by his two fellow apprentices is always somewhat credible.

"But, am I still myself like this?"

Lu Chen asked himself.

Asking him to abandon all emotions, all causes and effects, and pursue a state where there is only the Tao in his heart and everything else is nothingness, he... may not be able to do it.

Lu Chen sighed in his heart and looked at Zu Sanqi: "Among these people, have you ever experienced the strange things that your original body said about the outside world?"

Zu Sanqi shook his head.

He had not experienced this.

Zu Chongzhi was in his prime when he created him, and it is obvious that the outbreak of the "strange things happening outside the sky" incident happened in Zu Chongzhi's later years.

Lu Chen listened to other people's voice stones again, but without exception, no one mentioned this matter.

Even Zhang Hui himself is the same.

When Zhang Hui left the voice stone, his voice sounded very young. He told Lu Chen that he was no longer the Heavenly Master, but wanted Lu Xiujing to take over the responsibility of the Heavenly Master.

However, other elders of the Tianshi Dao in Longhu Mountain disagreed. Even his uncle Zhang Feng, who had always supported him, stood against him.

For this reason, he could only serve as Zhang Tianshi of Longhu Mountain while also acknowledging Lu Xiujing's identity as Tianshi.

However, after only a few years of doing this, he quit completely and prepared to travel around the world.

Then the sound stopped.

In addition, Kou Qianzhi's works still have some value. Kou Qianzhi was building the Tao Kingdom on Earth. After recovering his memory, he felt that the Tao Kingdom on Earth was no longer interesting. It happened that the Northern Wei Dynasty was destroying Buddhism. He simply moved all the essence of the Tao Kingdom on Earth to the underground palace in Zhongnan Mountain and faked his own death to escape.

After listening to this, Lu Chen could only put aside the idea that there was something fishy going on out there.

There was no use in him worrying.

Even if there are more powerful True Flow masters, Emperor Shaohao's fame cannot suppress them for long.

The future of Hulu Tiandi... has been decided!
No matter how much he worried, he couldn't change the situation.

He had already saved Hulu Tiandi once, but now... he couldn't save it a second time.

He asked, "Where is the Dao Kingdom on Earth?"

Zu Sanqi said: "After the eight stone gates on the outside are opened, you can enter the inner Taoist palace. Inside is the core Xuantan of the Taoist country on earth that was contributed by Kou Tianshi as the main body."

Lu Chen shook his head: "Why do you have to make it so troublesome?"

He felt that this set of problems was a bit troublesome.

Zu Sanqi said: "If the matter is not kept secret, it will not be accomplished. It is not important whether it is troublesome or not. The important thing is to try to allow you, Tianshi, to come in."

This is indeed the truth. If it had not been done in a more complicated way, the underground palace in Zhongnan Mountain would have been searched countless times by the tomb raider.

Lu Chen nodded: "Is there anything else here?"

Zu Sanqi shook his head, but presented a jade pendant with both hands.

Lu Chen looked at the familiar word "Lu" on the jade pendant and couldn't help but smile: "Did that kid Lu Xiujing come up with this?"

Zu Sanqi nodded: "Lu... Little Heavenly Master said that this jade pendant with the word Lu should be in your hands."

Lu Chen took the jade pendant and felt the familiar touch.

There is also a wisp of the original power of space in this secret paradise.

This time, Lu Chen didn't say anything and put away the jade pendant with the word "Lu" on it. It was a thing of the Lu family.

And he is the only one left from the Lu family in Hulu World...

He was in a trance for a moment and shook his head. That was himself in the gourd world, not himself in the real world.

Lu Chen said: "Let's go to the Dao Palace."

Zu Sanqi nodded and took Lu Chen to the Taoist Palace.

The Taoist Palace is the core area of ​​the Zhongnan Mountain Underground Palace.

When Lu Chen arrived here, the gate of the Taoist Palace had already been opened.

Zu Sanqi has already told him that when he enters Taoyuan, the gate of the Taoist Palace will open.

In this Taoist temple, there are classics from various schools and sects, as well as some heritage passed down.

Of course, because of what happened to Lu Chen, all schools and factions chose to practice dual cultivation of sex and life.

However, these inheritances do not involve the core after all, and the highest level can only reach the realm of Purple Mansion Dragon and Tiger.

Because after Lu Chen left, Wang Xuanfu died, his body and soul were destroyed, Zhongli Quan disappeared, and there was no orthodox method of inner alchemy practice in the gourd world.

Even these inheritances were created later.

"Is this to prevent me from destroying it?"

Lu Chen smiled.

Zu Sanqi did not look embarrassed at all: "We are not on guard against the Heavenly Master, but we think that these books should be given to the people of the world to let them know our true existence. This is also the second purpose of our creation of the Dao Palace."

Lu Chen said with a half-smile: "Aren't you afraid that I will destroy all these books in anger?"

Zu Sanqi had a smile on his face: "Then... Master Tian, ​​would you do this?"

"Ha ha……"

Lu Chen shook his head and chuckled.

Of course he wouldn't do it.

Not to mention the practice method that can only lead to the Purple Mansion Dragon and Tiger realm, even if it is a practice method that can directly reach the Heavenly Immortal realm, what can it do?
He has already walked out of his own path. No matter how precious the cultivation methods of other Taoist sects are, they are just reference points to him now.

He was not afraid that others would surpass him after obtaining the practice method!
If he was ahead by so much but was still overtaken by others, it meant that he was really a loser!
Lu Chen did not show up in the Taoist Palace, and returned to the underground palace with Zu Sanqi.

Before leaving, Lu Chen also sent a message to Nass, telling them that they could retreat.

If I continue to stay here, I'm afraid I'll be surrounded and attacked by the martial arts department...

As for the Martial Arts Department of the Great Xia Kingdom, after the bronze gate was opened, they quickly arranged for elite personnel to enter.

Even ready for battle.

But when they actually entered the underground palace, they were surprised to find that, apart from them, there was only one other passage with people coming in, and they were a group of Taoists, who were considered their own people...

The two groups of people looked at each other with their weapons in their hands, and finally put away their weapons together.

Well, it's a little embarrassing.

It is difficult to find the Eight Gates from the outside, but it is easy to find from the inside.

The members of the martial arts department immediately divided into several teams and groped their way out through several other passages.

When we finally reached the end, we suddenly realized that everyone here, regardless of which faction they were from, had been defeated!
Especially Mialika's team. Not only did no one die, but the mechas and other advanced technologies inside were an eye-opener for the Martial Arts Department!

This is every man’s dream, a mecha!

The Great Xia Kingdom is also developing mechas, but currently they are limited to exoskeletons.

Although the Great Xia Kingdom has also been actively exploring the technological world of some of the copies of the heavens, the results have not been very good.

After all, compared to technology, martial arts novels have a wider range of influence, and above that are some fantasy TV dramas.

The world of science and technology has never been the mainstream influence of Daxia, while the West is just the opposite, especially Meialika.

Although they are constantly experiencing domestic turmoil, it must be said that they have always been far ahead in terms of technology.

The news was quickly passed to the highest level.

When Li Mingkong learned the news, he immediately called Zheng Faming.

When I learned that Lu Chen was indeed no longer in Quancheng, I understood what was going on.

He felt mixed emotions, but also relieved.

Does this mean that Lu Chen still fully accepts his identity as a Da Xia person?

Neither of the two teams from Da Xia encountered Lu Chen, which does not mean that Lu Chen did not discover them. It can only be said that Lu Chen saw that they were from Da Xia and ignored them.

"Please help me make an appointment with Taoist Master Ruchen." Li Mingkong said to Zheng Faming.

The latter replied: "I will invite you right away, but don't hold your hopes too high... Well, it would be best if you come to Zhongnan Mountain in person."

Li Mingkong did not hesitate and arranged a special plane directly.

Zheng Faming also contacted Lu Chen, but Lu Chen was in Taoyuan, so his cell phone naturally had no signal.

When he came out of Taoyuan again, there were already three missed calls on his mobile phone.

Lu Chen called Zheng Faming back and learned that Li Mingkong wanted to meet him and had even taken a special plane to Zhongnan Mountain, so he did not refuse.

He swept his mind and soon found Li Mingkong's trace in a military tent in Zhongnan Mountain.

With a flash of his figure, Lu Chen appeared in the military tent.

"who!?"

"Crash!"

A group of soldiers quickly took out their guns and pointed them at Lu Chen. There was also a young man in camouflage uniform, whose aura had clearly broken through the Ren and Du meridians and reached the innate realm, who took out a sword.

Lu Chen didn't take any action, but just looked at these people with interest.

In a word: they are all elite!
The two innate soldiers holding guns are at least second-rate warriors. Outside the military tent, there are more than a dozen acquired warriors.

If this group of people were placed in some small countries, they could overthrow a regime!

"stop!"

Li Mingkong quickly stopped everyone, looked at Lu Chen and smiled as he extended his hand: "Master Ruchen, I have heard of your great name for a long time. Is this the first time we have actually met?"

Lu Chen followed the local customs and shook hands with him: "I didn't expect Minister Li to be such a master."

Li Mingkong’s cultivation level is not at the innate level, but it is also at the acquired peak.

The power at the national level is indeed very strong.

It seems that there is nothing obvious on the surface, but the power inside is at least several times greater than what is visible on the surface.
