The world of Taoism

Chapter 289
In the depths of the Crystal Palace, there was a violent fluctuation.

Although the fluctuation was very slight, it was accurately captured by him.

This fluctuation is slight, so small that it is close to nothing, and it can only be sensed in an extremely quiet environment.

It wasn't easy to discover this before, but now he doesn't know how many years he has stayed here, and he knows everything around him clearly.

Coupled with the extremely calm state of mind, he almost stopped thinking.

The sudden appearance of such a fluctuation is tantamount to the sound of thunder in the ear.

The fluctuations spread outward at an extremely regular frequency, rippling gently like water waves.

Zhou Xuan followed the fluctuations to the apse of the Crystal Palace.

In fact, Zhou Xuan had already opened the apse of the Crystal Palace, but what was disappointing was that there was nothing in it, it was empty.

I thought there would be some rare treasures inside.

After all, the legendary Dragon Palace is the place with the most treasures.

This frequency was very slight, Zhou Xuan closed his eyes, calmed down, and carefully felt the direction of the wave flying over.

This feeling is very strange. I am about to know where the direction is, but when I concentrate, it disappears and I can't grasp the direction at all.

It just doesn't appear when you pay attention, but you are very awake when you don't pay attention.

Once the heart wants to observe the direction, the fluctuation will become very ethereal.

It seems that it still has the same characteristics as Dragon Palace, it cannot be observed, at least don't let yourself be the one to observe, and you don't have to think about it.

Zhou Xuan was already familiar with this method.

Soon, he determined the location.

buzzing...

When the mind came into contact with the source of the fluctuation, a sense of dizziness came.

The surrounding space twisted violently, as if even thinking began to split apart.

The whole person was broken into tens of millions.

Each has independent thinking, and a huge amount of information fills the whole mind.

It makes it impossible to distinguish between fantasy and reality.

Whoa!

The surrounding scene suddenly changed, and Zhou Xuan came to a world.

This world is a bit like a small planet, not very big, and it is obvious that the earth is an arc.

There are many towering giant trees around, and under the night, they stand tall like a mountain peak.

In the middle of the jungle, there is a bonfire burning.

A man stood by the campfire.

This person is tall, about two meters tall, wearing a golden dragon robe, and has a thin figure.

What is striking is that this man has blond hair and two antlers growing from his head.

Zhou Xuan slowly walked in front of this person, and found that this person had his eyes closed.

This is an ordinary human old man with fair and smooth skin, golden eyebrows and hair, and long beard hanging on his chest.

The old man of unknown age closed his eyes and breathed lightly.

Hearing the sound of Zhou Xuan's arrival, he opened his eyes immediately.

"Are you here?" The old man opened his eyes and smiled.

"How did you know I would come?" Zhou Xuan was surprised.

"Look, I drew a picture when I was idle..." The old man pointed to the open space next to him.

There are a total of more than a dozen pictures on the open space.

It's probably a person who gets the Crystal Palace, gets lost out of the world one day, and then meets an old man with dragon horns.

The picture ends here...

Zhou Xuan looked at the scene in front of him in amazement. He didn't expect the old man in front of him to accurately predict that he was coming.

"May I ask who you are, senior?" Zhou Xuan felt that this person was somewhat familiar.

"I am the Dragon God of the Yangtze River, so your Crystal Palace belongs to me." The old man laughed.

The bonfire was blazing, and the swaying flames cast mottled light and shadow on his face, which seemed real, but somewhat illusory.

"You, aren't you already dead?" Zhou Xuan asked unexpectedly.

The Dragon God of the Yangtze River is said to have died thousands of years ago, but he did not expect to hide in the Crystal Palace.

Thinking of an old man hiding in the dark and peeping at him, Zhou Xuan felt a little chill all over his body.

This old guy is too tolerant.

"The old man is indeed dead, but there is still a remnant left." Seeing Zhou Xuan's expression, the Dragon God of the Yangtze River knew that he had misunderstood."

"Don't worry, I have nothing to do with the Crystal Palace, and I can't observe you. You came to this world and got in touch with the Crystal Palace."

In fact, the Dragon God of the Yangtze River has died, and what remains here is only a consciousness.

There are two kinds of human death, the death of the soul and the death of the body.

Another is the death of human subjective consciousness.

Subjective consciousness will disappear with the death of soul and body.

Subjectivity is the most important part. Without subjective consciousness, the body and soul are just empty shells.

The reason why some ghosts are so cruel is because they have no subjectivity and have been blinded by killing.

At the moment of death, the Dragon God of the Yangtze River voluntarily left the real world and came to the "chaos" outside the world.

"This is chaos?" Zhou Xuan was a little surprised when he heard the story of the Dragon God of the Yangtze River.

Could this be the legendary Chaos?

"I think so. This place is outside the world. This is an indescribable space. It depends on you."

The place where the Dragon God of the Yangtze River is is actually a whole, including his subjective consciousness.

There is no concept of space and time in this world. Once exiled, there is almost no chance to go back. You can only drift endlessly in the void.

The Yangtze Dragon God's lifespan is about to run out, so he took the initiative to exile his soul.

I don't know how many years have passed, the soul has been unable to bear it and dissipated, the subjectivity of the Dragon God of the Yangtze River.

"Can't you really go out?" Zhou Xuan said.

"Of course there is, far away in the sky, close at hand."

To say that it is outside the world does not mean that the distance is very far, it can be said that there is only a thin layer of membrane between them.

As long as you see through this point, you can return to the real world.

But how easy it is to see through this point depends on one's understanding.

"There are many appearances of things, but in the final analysis there are only a few laws. As long as the laws are used accurately, so many appearances are just illusions."

In the days that followed, Zhou Xuan retreated and practiced at the Dragon God of the Yangtze River, listening to his insights.

It has to be said that the Dragon God of the Yangtze River has a deeper understanding of the way of heaven than ordinary people and can see it more clearly.

In the view of Changjiang Dragon God, all things are basically unchanged and objective, and illusory things are just appearances, and the concept is very different from other people.

The Dragon God of the Yangtze River was also very surprised by Zhou Xuan.

I thought it was just a lucky guy who got the Crystal Palace.

Through such exchanges, it was discovered that Zhou Xuan did have something, and his perception of heaven and earth was no less than his own.

Some concepts even gave him a refreshing feeling.

Zhou Xuan is not in a hurry now, and is completely letting things go.

One day, Zhou Xuan, who was drinking with the Dragon God of the Yangtze River, suddenly had a bright eye.

"There are five thieves in the sky, and those who see them will prosper." Zhou Xuan muttered to himself suddenly, his eyes became brighter and brighter.

The Dragon God of the Yangtze River put down his wine glass and carefully chewed these two sentences: "This sentence has a lot of meaning, are you going back?"

Seeing Zhou Xuan's appearance, the Dragon God of the Yangtze River suddenly understood something.

"Yes, I have found the way back, do you want to come together, senior?"

The Dragon God of the Yangtze River shook his head and smiled: "The old man has died in the past, and he will dissipate when he returns to the real world. It's better to live here for a while..."

While the two were talking, a golden gate appeared in the air.

"Senior, there will be a period later! I'll try to see if I can come after the matter is settled."

As soon as the words fell, Zhou Xuan disappeared into the golden gate.
