Chapter 81: The Immortals of the Past
As soon as he heard the word "chaotic times", Su Zhou suddenly became energetic, opened his eyes wide, and leaned forward slightly. Both his tone and momentum suddenly changed. Even if it was irrelevant, passers-by could see that he became extremely interested: "What chaos time?"
As if he noticed some of his impatience, Su Zhou coughed lightly and then returned to his normal posture, but even so, he asked curiously: "I mean, isn't the world peaceful now?"
"The whole world has been peaceful for so long, and in the past thirty years, there has been no more chaotic things. In addition, the controlled nuclear fusion often mentioned in domestic news... I thought the great contemporaries were within reach."
"Well, you can see that you are very interested in this... As for what you said, I can't say it's wrong."
The Taoist Saint Zhang Qingyun was a little surprised by Su Zhou's reaction. He originally thought that an 18-year-old high school student, even if he was interested in family, country, and world affairs, would not be so sensitive to the word "treacherous times".
Regarding the statement that "Datong World" mentioned by Su Zhou, Zhang Qingyun just shook his head ambiguously and said: "The Datong World is not something that can be brought about by a controlled nuclear fusion. At least it must have cheap defense and safe artificial intelligence. To be honest, according to Yan Sheng's research, there is a little wrong... Let's not talk about this for now, as for the troubled times."
Speaking of this, he looked at Su Zhou, thoughtful, and smiled and said, "If it were someone else, I would say 'You will know in the future, it's not the time now'."
"But Sir Su, since you are already extraordinary, it means that you have actually entered the circle of high-level extraordinary people... Such talent will inevitably surpass our older generation in the future."
"Thus, you know something in advance, both for yourself and for us."
Speaking so, Zhang Qingyun asked calmly: "The most important thing is whether you want to know."
"Of course!"
Su Zhou was not stupid. Of course he heard the secret intention hidden behind Zhang Qingyun: After knowing this, Su Zhou could not stay out of this and be a happy and worry-free high school student... But what happened? Could it be that he is a happy and worry-free high school student now? He is a very happy and carefree high school student! He was originally going to take the initiative to attack!
To put it another way - who dares not let him be a happy and worry-free high school student in this world? Su Zhou beat up the head of the man!
So, he agreed very simply: "I don't mind at all, I just want to know the truth behind it."
Zhang Qingyun invited Su Zhou to sit down, and the two sat on both sides of the small table in the monitoring room. Daosheng was like an old man next door. He signaled the secretary to help pour tea. Zhang Qingyun said to Su Zhou: "The source of this matter starts from the spontaneous disbandment of all sects in the world a thousand years ago."
"Yeah." Su Zhou nodded. He knew very well about this. The Holy Snake Spirit Prayer Meeting was created at that time, and it was not surprising that the source began here.
Zhang Qingyun did not keep it a secret. He said smoothly: "A thousand years ago, the spiritual energy had not yet weakened. The world we live in, on the planet called Earth, has a large number of practitioners."
"Whether it is the plains of East Asia, the rainforests of America, the extremely cold ice ocean, or the dry desert, practitioners and humans are everywhere. They are all the sects in the world today, and they can even be said to be the ancestors of civilization."
"And the most powerful group of practitioners are called "Immortals and Gods" by our ancestors and civilizations."
When talking about the immortal god, the Taoist slightest bowed to Kong and made a simple etiquette. His tone was calm and he had no intention of fanatical worship at all: "The group of practitioners who were called immortal gods are the founders and pioneers of all the extraordinary schools and the great extraordinary practice methods in the world. They created our words and civilizations, and they are also the ancestors of our bloodlines."
"Even if the modern practice method has been optimized countless times, the framework was formulated by them. Therefore, even if I do not believe in them, as a modern person, I should respect it for the sake of the founding wise men."
"A thousand years ago, when the Jedi Heaven was connected, all the immortals and gods had disappeared, and all the great sects and gods had chosen to die out themselves... And during the most terrifying period when spiritual energy was cut off, it was difficult for practitioners to even open the spirit, and all the practice scriptures became waste paper... During that period, it was called the Dharma-Ending Age, many small inheritances were cut off, and the great inheritance almost disappeared."
When Zhang Qingyun said this, the secretary happened to send tea. He picked up the teacup, turned his head, and smiled at Su Zhou: "But in fact, from the classics we passed down, we can find that the matter of Jedi Tiantong has actually been illegitimate since two or three thousand years ago. More than a thousand years ago, it was already a dead end. All practitioners were looking for ways to avoid the Dharma-Ending Age, but they failed in the end."
"But the most powerful immortals and gods have not given up yet. A while before the spiritual energy is about to completely dissipate, all the immortals and gods of civilization in the world have disappeared collectively. Before leaving, they claimed that they would try to break the shackles and go to the 'Taixu Immortal Realm'. According to the description in ancient books, the immortals and gods should have flew out of the atmosphere and left the earth."
Su Zhou was quietly listening to Zhang Qingyun telling these things that seemed to have nothing to do with the 'chaotic times', but when he heard this, he was a little moved: "Leave the earth? Go to space?"
He thought of the dark cracks traversing the universe's sky above the earth, and there was a vague guess in his heart.
"Yes." Dao Sheng smiled and confirmed Su Zhou's statement. He raised his hand and pointed to his head: "However, we guys who have gone thousands of years later cannot figure out where the immortals and gods went. After all, after that, it is the Dharma-Ending Age, and many classics have been lost. The immortals and gods may have gone to the moon, but maybe they have gone to other places? Their power is enough to move mountains and seas, so it is not surprising that they survive in the universe."
"But it's also interesting. Before the revival of spiritual energy and the development of modern technology into outer space technology, we all guessed that there is probably spiritual energy in outer space, and only the earth is the only one who cuts off spiritual energy. The former immortals and gods were migrating to other planets... But later it turned out that this guess was wrong."
"Just decades ago, the American Federation was carrying a simple aura tester in the Voyager spacecraft launched outside the solar system. The results showed that the outer space did not have the high concentration of aura we imagined. Voyager did not send enough aura signals back - until half a year ago, we felt that at least in the solar system, the aura was as poor as the earth."
After taking a sip of tea, Dao Sheng sighed in Su Zhou's eyes as if he had guessed something: "But not long ago, during the period before and after the spiritual energy was revived, the Voyager, which had already flew to the edge of the solar system, sent back an obvious high spiritual energy signal. Not only that, other satellites around the earth, moon satellites, and even spacecraft exploring Saturn and Jupiter, all noticed an extremely large and rich wave of spiritual energy almost at the same time."
"What does this mean, Su? It means a lot of things."
"First: the appearance and severance of spiritual energy is by no means a mere earth, but a cosmic event with a lower limit at least based on the solar system."
"Secondly: The immortal gods' departure in the past should not be going to outer space. They disappeared, but they went to other places that we are not very clear about now..."
