In the weird second dimension of killing gods

Huo Xia stopped.

Liliana and Li Yunai looked up and saw a mansion in front of them. It was very luxurious even in the city of Nanjing. The servants standing guard at the door were tall and mighty, and they were undoubtedly martial artists.

and.

Liliana could feel that these two gatekeepers were definitely people who had been on the battlefield.

Even though the Ming Dynasty was an empire where supernatural powers were somewhat rampant, these two people were capable of getting a position on the battlefield, but now they are guarding the gate.

Huo Xia slowly stepped forward and made a gesture towards the gatekeeper.

That posture is like that of a wise king.

There seemed to be a flash of bright light, and in a trance, the two servants saw a statue of a wise king who suppressed evil spirits.

The King is angry!

The two servants were not ordinary people either. They recognized the origin of this move at a glance. They immediately asked, "Which distinguished guest is here?"

Huo Xia said calmly: "Tell your prince that the son of Huo Li Huo Zhen wants to see you."

Chapter 51: What is Now?

Passing through the richly decorated corridor, Zheng He slowly walked into the familiar hall of the Prince of Han's Palace. The sunlight shone through the delicate window lattices onto his body, stretching his shadow long.

Given his personality, it was unprecedented for him to meet a prince in such a panic.

But at this moment, Zheng He really found it difficult to calm his inner excitement.

As the steps got closer, the faint sounds coming from the hall became clearer.

It was the powerful voice of the King of Han, as well as the vigorous voice of a young boy whom he missed so much.

This sound, like a breeze under the scorching sun, brought a little peace to Zheng He's anxious heart.

When he got close, Zheng He stopped.

He straightened his clothes, paying attention to every detail, and then, with steady steps, he walked into the hall that was filled with a solemn atmosphere.

Inside the palace, Huo Xia had a very pleasant conversation with Han Wang Zhu Gaoxu.

"I'm not bragging. Back then, I relied on the Six Divine Art to kill Qu Neng, Qu Yu, and Qu Tao, father and son, from the Sichuan Army, in front of the battle line!"

Zhu Gaoxu was a burly middle-aged man, wearing a prince's crown and having a beard. One could vaguely see that he must have been a handsome man with thick eyebrows and big eyes when he was young.

"Your father was with us at the time. He was so stunned that he even praised us as the reincarnation of the Overlord."

Huo Xia's identity here is the son of Huo Li Huo Zhen, and Huo Zhen once fought with Zhu Gaoxu.

Huo Xia smiled and agreed, "Your Highness is truly domineering. Even Chang Yuchun back then probably didn't have such demeanor."

"Ha ha!"

Zhu Gaoxu laughed happily and boasted: "Don't even mention General Chang Yuchun. Even if it was Zhang Dingbian who defeated Chang Yuchun, Xu Da, Liu Bowen and many other Qigong practitioners and alchemists by himself, I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to match our style back then!"

It was obvious that he enjoyed it.

Huo Xia looked at Zhu Gaoxu with longing, her eyes seemed to be saying "I really want to be like you, my prince, and make great achievements on the battlefield, so that my life will not be in vain."

This kind of look was developed by Huo Xia through training.

Seven parts depend on talent and three parts on training.

This kind of "longing" look is very lethal to those successful and famous people.

I admire you not because of your money and power, but because of your talent and experience.

That's probably what it feels like.

Although Zhu Gaoxu was drinking tea, he felt a little dizzy at this time and actually said, "It's a pity that we don't have a daughter, otherwise I would definitely marry her to you."

Huo Xia said, "I wonder if the princess is beautiful?"

"Why are you asking this all of a sudden?"

"Your Highness is a very brave and heroic person. If your Princess is also a beautiful person, then your daughter must be very beautiful too."

"Oh~~" Zhu Gaoxu said in a drawn-out voice, pointing at him, "You like beautiful ones."

Huo Xia smiled implicitly.

"It turns out that I like beautiful girls." Zheng He walked in with a smile.

When Huo Xia saw Zheng He coming, he immediately stood up and saluted Zheng He.

"I haven't seen you for a long time. My godfather seems to be in good spirits. I am relieved."

Zheng He smiled, looked Huo Xia up and down, then shook his head and said, "Why did you shave your hair and wear these Hu Feng clothes?"

Huo Xia explained: "It's urgent, not what I want."

Zheng He nodded slightly and looked at Zhu Gaoxu.

"Brother, sit down."

Zhu Gaoxu waved his hand, appearing very easy-going.

Zheng He found a seat to sit down, and then he saw three girls sitting behind him. He looked at them for a while and couldn't help frowning.

Although it is a good thing that my adopted son is fine, it's just...

How did my brother get involved with these questionable women?

"If you like beautiful women, you should marry a virtuous woman." Zheng He secretly complained, wondering whether he should find a proper marriage for Huo Xia to prevent him from being seduced by those beautiful women of questionable character.

When Zheng He sat down, Zhu Gaoxu smiled and said, "I heard that Zheng's adopted son suddenly disappeared in Ceylon and now appears in Nanjing. What's the reason?"

Hearing this, Zheng He lowered his eyelids and said vaguely: "I have already said that the god of disaster descended in Ceylon and caused a disaster. My adopted son also disappeared in that disaster."

Zhu Gaoxu did not ask further questions, but just asked Huo Xia: "Where have you been during this time?"

Huo Xia smiled slightly and said, "To be honest, I was brought to the future six hundred years later by the Great Ming Lord. I encountered some changes there and returned to the present."

"Is that so?" Zhu Gaoxu narrowed his eyes slightly and suddenly tilted his head, "Sorry, what did you say just now?"

Huo Xia said calmly: "After I killed the God of Disobedience, the Great Ming Zarwan used his power to bring me to the future six hundred years later."

Zhu Gaoxu: “?”

Zheng He: “!”

The atmosphere suddenly became solemn.

At this moment, Athena, who had been silent all this time, opened her red lips and interrupted, "It's not the 'future', it's the 'present'. Our current time is the 'past'."

Everyone present looked over.

Athena raised her red lips, and faced with everyone's doubts, she was not afraid, and asked back: "What is the past, and what is the future?"

"To people a thousand years ago, you were an uncertain future."

"To people a thousand years from now, you are the past that has been determined."

"I want to ask, how do you distinguish between the 'past' and the 'future'?"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Gaoxu and Zheng He were both stunned, and then fell into deep thought.

If Huo Xia did not lie, he had traveled to the future, and these three girls were most likely also from the future.

So, is your present the “cause” or the “result”?

Is it the "past" or the "future"?

Huo Xia was very calm and said directly: "The years I have experienced are all the 'past', and the years I have not experienced are all the 'future'. My 'present' is the 'now'."

After hearing this, Liliana nodded and said, "I think, therefore I am. This kind of doubt is really unnecessary."

Athena smiled and said, "Coincidentally, the lion thought the same."

"You mean Zalwan?"

Huo Xia blurted out these words.

Athena smiled and said, "God Slayer, let me tell you the meaning of the God of Destiny's existence."

"Those worlds with strong [Destiny] all have a premise, which is to be able to determine the present. Only by determining the present can we determine what is the 'past' and what is the 'future'."

"Zarwan is a symbol of 'eternal time'."

"He created the [Temple of Infinite Time]. That temple is the 'present'. The years before the temple are the 'past', and the years after the temple are the 'future'."

"Zarwan (Eternal Tribulation) is 'now'."

"Do you understand what I mean by that?"

Huo Xia pondered for a moment and barely understood what the riddler meant.

In order to manage the vast river of destiny of World 492, Zalwan used himself as an anchor of time.

The years He has experienced are the past, and the years He has not experienced are the future.

In other words, there is an "objective present" in World 492, which is the time point where Zalwan is located.

The years before this are all the determined [past], that is, the "history" that has long been predetermined. There may be some waves, but they will not deviate from the general direction.

And the "future" after now is uncertain.

Athena continued, "As the anchor of the 'present', He must have left traces in this era, so... do you know where the Great Ming Zun is?"

She raised her eyes, and her bright eyes turned into snake pupils, carrying the chill of death.

Zhu Gaoxu and Zheng He both felt a chill.

Zheng He took a deep breath and said, "In fact, the moment my brother disappeared, I also remembered the appearance of the deity. After I returned to Jinling, I specifically asked the young master about it."

"Young Master said—"

Having said this, he paused for a moment before saying, "If you see me again, ask me to go to the Great Heavenly Realm Temple."

Chapter 52: Transcendence

Great Celestial World Temple.

It was formerly known as Dalongxiang Jiqing Temple and was built in the second year of Taiding in the Yuan Dynasty.

As time passed, after Zhu Yuanzhang established the Ming Dynasty, he renamed it Datianjie Temple and gave it the important responsibilities of compiling the "History of Yuan Dynasty" and training tribute envoys.

Later, due to a fire, the Datianjie Temple was moved to the scenic Fengshan Mountain.

The rebuilt temple is more spacious and its halls are more majestic and magnificent.

In the Buddhist community of the Ming Dynasty, the Datianjie Temple undoubtedly holds an extraordinary status.

In order to manage monks and Taoists in the world, Zhu Yuanzhang established the Monks Registration Office under the Ministry of Rites, and this institution responsible for managing Buddhist temples in the world was established in the Tianjie Temple.

Therefore, the Great Heavenly Realm Temple is not only a holy place of Buddhist culture, but also an institution for the royal family to manage Buddhism.

Every year, there is an endless stream of pilgrims, not only from all over the place, but also from far away.

The most respected monk in the Buddhist world today is Master Daoyan, who is known as the "Black-robed Prime Minister".

At this moment, a carriage that only princes could ride in slowly drove to the foot of the picturesque Fengshan Mountain.

The carriage slowly stopped and a group of people got off.

It was already afternoon, and the summer sun was shining through the gaps between the leaves onto the ground, bringing a warm and comfortable glow.

Walking on the forest path, you can hear the sounds of birds and flowers around you, and feel the fairy air surrounded by clouds and mist.

Huo Xia, standing on the side of the road, looked up and saw that the Great Tianjie Temple was located on the top of Fengshan Mountain, with thousands of steps leading directly to the top.

And his current location was still more than 800 steps away from the magnificent Buddhist temple.

Zhu Gaoxu walked in front, absent-minded.

Ever since he learned that Huo Xia had been to the future, he has been uneasy. He wants to know his own ending and whether he can succeed in becoming the king.

Zheng He and Huo Xia walked in the middle.

"What are your plans for the future, brother?"
