Chapter 318 Lao Tzu leaves Hangu Pass

In the last years of the Shang Dynasty, the sage Master Tongtian was defeated by the Four Sages. His anger could not be calmed down, so he used his supernatural powers to refine the fire, water and wind of the earth, hoping to change the sky and the earth.

The Hongjun of the Dao of Heaven manifested and stopped Tongtian, but the prehistoric land was already broken.

The sages divided the broken world into three realms of heaven, earth, and human, and handed them over to Heaven, Hell, and Great Zhou respectively.Among them, the Heavenly Court governs the Three Realms, the Underworld governs life and death, and the Great Zhou governs the human world.Thousands of years later, the heavens and the underworld gradually developed, and a perfect order of the three realms was established.

But the Great Zhou Dynasty fell apart over the years.

At this point, the status of the human world dropped suddenly and became the lower realm, while the heavenly realm where the heavenly court was located became the upper realm.

The homeland where humans live and work in peace and contentment has become a battlefield for gods and Buddhas to compete for their beliefs. When monsters are rampant, people are shocked to find that all the "sages" they rely on have disappeared!No one knows where the saints went, Sanqing disappeared, Nuwa disappeared, Jieyin and Zhunti no longer manifested, and there are no more saints in the Three Realms!

At this time, a force headed by the West Heavenly Lingshan quietly spread into the Middle Earth...

"Is there really no saint?" Ji Ming walked in the city of Luoyang, full of doubts.

Unlike what he had imagined before he came, the world of Journey to the West is not a different world from the world of conferred gods or even the prehistoric world, but a different period of the same world.In other words, there are prehistoric and conferred gods here, but it's just that the times have advanced to the period of Journey to the West, and the world itself has not changed much.

The legend of the seven saints under heaven has not been cut off. The Taoist Sanqing and the Buddhist two saints have only disappeared for a few hundred years. The deeds of the holy father and the holy mother of the human race are still widely spread.

The only weird thing is that the saint disappeared without any signs, and he didn't even know whether he was dead or alive.

"My wife, what do you think..." Ji Ming wanted to ask Lin Xuan, but before he finished speaking, he found that Lin Xuan's avatar had disappeared without a sound after arriving here.Immediately afterwards, through the time-space city, Xiaoluo sent him a voice transmission: "It's strange, why does the Heavenly Dao of Journey to the West reject me?"

Xiaoluo is still in Time and Space City, it's not that she didn't come, but she was rejected immediately after she came.

Although the suppression of Journey to the West is great, the functions related to the time-space city will not be affected in any way, and communication can still be made through the time-space city network.

"The laws of Journey to the West are too suppressed. Unless the deity passes away, even the incarnation outside the body will dissipate under the suppression of the law of heaven." Lin Xuan said through voice transmission.Then, she paused, and then said: "Xiaoluo's situation is very strange, she seems to have been to the Westward Journey, and she did something that is not allowed by heaven."

Regarding this, Xiao Luo was confused and said, "No."

"It may be that the life form is special and cannot be used in Journey to the West." Ji Ming guessed.

At this moment, in front of him, an old man led the green bull and walked westward.

He is no stranger to this old man. He has met him before in Journey to the West, and he is the Taishang Laojun!

"Taishang Laojun?" Ji Ming walked over and asked with some uncertainty.Regarding this, the old man shook his head and smiled, and said: "Young man, you may have misidentified the person. The old man's surname is Li Ming'er, and his style name is Boyang. He is a great man of the Taoist school, not some old gentleman."

As soon as these words came out, Ji Ming was immediately stunned.

Li Er said that he is not the Taishang Laojun, what the hell is this?

"You are not the first person who mistook the old man for the Supreme Lord, young man, if you have nothing to do, why not walk with the old man?" The old man said as he walked, leading the green bull.Hearing this, Ji Ming hurriedly followed, and at the same time asked, "Old man, is there anyone else who mistook you for the Supreme Lord?"

To this, Lao Tzu smiled and said, "Not one or two people, but almost everyone."

"What do you mean?" Ji Ming felt that there was a big secret.

"The Taishang Laojun is an illusory god created by later generations with the old man as the prototype. He was born out of the old man, but in fact he has nothing to do with the old man." Lao Tzu said with some emotion: "There is also the Taishang Saint, some people say that he is me, and some people say that I am his incarnation, but in fact, that has nothing to do with old age."

As soon as these words came out, Ji Ming became even more confused.

Does this Li Er know the past and the future, or did he come from the endless world like the ancient Buddha?
"The name of the Supreme Sage is 'Taiqing Daode Tianzun', and the old man's name is 'Li Er', the two of us are not the same person at all." Lao Tzu continued: "If we say, is there any connection between him and me? , probably only "I created the Tao, he was born in the Tao"!"

Jiming: "..."

He had to admit that mortals couldn't understand what the gods said.

"Well, are you also from the endless world?" Ji Ming asked tentatively.

"Why is it, why is it not?" Lao Tzu said.

"I……"

"I come from the past, but I know the future. This is a destiny." Li Er also realized his "profoundness", and said with a smile: "Let's put it this way, I am the originator of the cultivation of immortals, and everything related to the 'Tao' All related things start from me, I am the ancestor of Dao, and the Sanqing sage appeared earlier than me, but in fact, I am the true body of Dao!"

Ji Ming was speechless again.

Unable to bear it anymore, he rolled his eyes and said, "Old man, what exactly do you want to express?"

"I've cultivated Tao all my life, and finally, I'm going to be consummated." Li Er didn't answer, but said to himself as he walked: "Creating something out of nothing is for 'cultivation', there is no so-called 'Tao' in this world, because I practice Taoism There is success, so from now on, there will be Tao in the world.”

After speaking, he suddenly accelerated and walked westward.

Ji Ming hurriedly followed, and not long after, the two arrived at Hangu Pass... I stayed here for seven days, left a copy of the "Tao Te Ching", and rode out of the pass on a green ox.Ji Ming walked behind him for a long time, and gradually, his expression became weird——Lao Tzu went west out of Hangu Pass, and actually walked out of Journey to the West, Nima went straight to the City of Time and Space!

Yes, Li Er who disappeared after leaving Hangu Pass in the west, he is in the City of Time and Space!

"You actually brought the Supreme Saint over here, you are amazing!" Lin Xuan came over via voice transmission and praised.

"I didn't receive the lead at all!" Ji Ming was completely messed up.

Then he contacted Li Er through the City of Time and Space, and the conclusion he got was: In real history, Li Er did indeed go to the City of Time and Space after his ascension!The city of time and space transcends time and space, and it is the final destination of the outstanding people in the world. The truly outstanding ancients eventually went there.

But here comes the question, when did Ji Ming pick up Li Er?
In real history, when Lao Tzu went west to Hangu Pass, was there a "City of Time and Space"?

"Things related to time and space are simply a mess, forget it, don't think about it!" Ji Ming put the doubts behind him, got up and flew towards the sky.At this moment, a huge coercion enveloped the sky, and a large ball of light lay in front of the Nantian Gate and said, "I am Yi Zechuan, the King of Infinite Gods, and the old Jade Emperor hastened to greet him!"

This big ball of light has an extremely terrifying aura, and its cultivation level is the peak of the three heavens of the origin and the gods.

"Damn it, do you want to die just after you come in?" Ji Ming admitted that this light ball is very powerful, but to be honest, he really doesn't know how to live or die if he comes to Nantianmen with this level of cultivation.

　I have to sort out the plot later, and I will update it today.
