"It's been three days and you still haven't found any trace of him?"

In the hall, Zhang Zhongyou and two other dignified middle-aged men were sitting at the top, with several young monks standing aside.

Chef Jiang stood in the center and said to the first three people with an apologetic look on his face: "I have sent out most of the men and gave them talismans and magic weapons to facilitate their operations, but I still can't find any trace of Senior Three Years Old."

He was about to speak but stopped.

"If we don't hurry up, I'm afraid we will fall behind the Yu family." Zhang Zhongyou looked serious, "After all, the Yu family is now turning to Yunmen for help. The mysteries of Yunmen are also longed for by the monks who cultivate the void. What if the third son is killed?

If they win over, the Yu family's position in the family will really be unshakable!"

Speaking of this, he noticed something strange about Chef Jiang: "What's wrong, Chef? What else did you find?"

Jiang Chu hesitated for a moment, then said: "Although no trace of Senior Three-Year-Old was found, there is something strange about the seal of the eight-armed demon. I am worried that this demon will finally escape."

"The Eight-Armed God and Demon is so powerful, but he didn't attract the attention of the sect back then, and was sealed by the red lamp who had not yet refined the god. Now even if he escapes from the trap and makes rapid progress, how can he be an opponent?" Zhang Zhongyou didn't care, "You are still

You have to put your mind on your third year."

"knew."

The gurgling stream is clear and transparent.

Beside the stream, a stone pavilion suddenly appeared, in which two people sat facing each other.

One is wearing a red robe, a high crown and a belt, and the other is wearing a gray robe and long hair.

Red Lantern Master and Chen Yuan were sitting opposite each other.

There was a stone table placed between the two of them. There was a tea set on the table. The teapot floated up on its own and poured tea for the two of them.

Chen Yuan smiled slightly, picked up the teacup, and said, "Please, this tea is the better one in my memory, and it tastes great."

Master Hongdeng picked up the tea cup in front of him and said with a complex expression: "The mind reflects and turns the imaginary into reality. The so-called reality is whatever you want! Sure enough, this is the power of refining the emptiness level! You actually used a short

In just one hundred and fifty or sixty years, you have regained your ability to cultivate the void? Could it be that you are really the son of destiny? Are you favored by fate?"

Chen Yuan glanced at him and said with a smile: "Mind mapping, the reflected image in the heart, is ultimately the memory, feeling and cognition of the past. I can't conjure up tea that I haven't drunk out of thin air, nor can I show myself

There is no taste or taste that I have personally experienced. This is because people cannot imagine things beyond their own knowledge. This is the state of mind."

"Your answer is slightly different from the secret of the mind that I heard in the past." Hongdeng Zhenren frowned, as if thinking, "This mind is the understanding of the Tao."

"That's right, because I have been thinking recently about what Tao is." Chen Yuan exchanged his thoughts and understandings with the Hongdeng Patriarch as if he had really met an old friend. "When we practice, whether it is through the five senses and six thoughts,

Heaven and earth, consciousness, yin, soul, yang, and even the soul wandering around in the universe, in the final analysis, they all belong to themselves, and they perceive the external world in themselves. This also means that our way is actually related to the outside world.

Very relevant."

Master Hongdeng said: "To moisten one's heart with external things, and to have all things in the world reflect the heart of the Tao, this is what it should be, so what's so strange about it? Even because of different understandings of the world and all things, the same thing will also

It will reflect different mental scenes in different people's hearts."

After a pause, he looked at Chen Yuan's slightly surprised look and said with some satisfaction: "That's natural. Don't think that you are the only smart person in the world. I have also gained something!"

"Yes, you can now be regarded as a monk who has returned to the virtual world, but you can never change from your sect." Chen Yuan suddenly changed the topic, "If someone can control a place of heaven and earth and shape all phenomena of heaven and earth with his own thoughts and cognition, then...

..." Chen Yuan narrowed his eyes and said meaningfully: "The Tao in the hearts of all monks who practice in such a world are actually fragments of the mind of the person who controls the world. What will happen after they finally become Tao?

?”

These are his true words.

Ever since he came into contact with Xie Qi Immortal and Yun Ling Immortal, and realized that there might be immortals hiding in the cave world, he has been thinking about the so-called Hedao. What does it mean from the perspective of an immortal?

What is different from ordinary monks is that Chen Yuan not only has the incarnation of a true immortal, he can stand on a higher level to overlook and examine the monks' path to harmony. He has also come face to face with the Fen Nian of Yun Ling Immortal. Although the meeting took place

The information revealed in the brief but concise words made Chen Yuan unable to stop thinking.

Why do those immortals want to destroy a world and spread their own traditions?

After more than thirty years of thinking, he has vaguely found a thread.

Perhaps, it has something to do with the path that the immortals followed when they broke through the combined path.

"If every heaven and earth has the influence of the immortals in the past, then only by jumping out of the monk's cage can you see the path that is not affected. But if you are not affected, you don't experience the calamity of union, and you can't break out of the cage, this is almost

A dead end."

For other monks and Chen Yuan in the past, this was a dead end, but for him now, the situation has changed.

But Hongdeng Zhenren seemed to be shocked by Chen Yuan's words.

After a long while, he said: "What you said are just fabrications and speculations!" He seemed to be explaining, and then shook his head as if to emphasize, "The way of others reflects one's own mind, and in the end I am afraid that even the cultivation of

It’s difficult to refine the void, let alone use it to combine with the Tao! After all, even if you are really Dong Xuanzi, haven’t you ever succeeded in combining the Tao in your previous life and turned into ashes in the calamity? Now you are standing at such a height to point fingers.”

After a pause, his tone became meaningful: "The times are different from the past."

"Is it different?" Chen Yuan chuckled, put down the tea cup, and asked: "If you can't use other people's ways to reflect yourself, then how can you contain my calamity and condense a little bit of my Taoist destiny?

Woolen cloth?"

Master Hongdeng's expression suddenly changed: "You, you, you... what are you talking about?" He even stood up.

But Chen Yuan raised his hand and pressed lightly on the table, which calmed the body of the red lamp master. Then he raised his hand and grabbed it, and grabbed out strands of strange aura from the opponent's body, flickering with starlight.

"Actually, I noticed it when I met you this time, but I wasn't really sure until you used the magical power of Buzhou Mountain!" Looking at the changing starlight aura on his hand, Chen Yuan raised his head and looked at

Hong Leng, who had an ugly expression on his face, said, "The things I did in the past were said to be your doings, and my body was contaminated with the tribulation aura that I generated when I overcame the tribulation. My cultivation level has also improved rapidly in a short period of time..."

After a pause, he looked directly at the other person: "The tribulation energy can only be collected when I am overcoming the tribulation and in the short period of time afterwards. Although my Hedao tribulation did not deliberately block the news, it is still hidden, unless it is deliberately planned.

People, otherwise it will be difficult to obtain the tribulation energy. Tell me, what do you know? Who is hiding behind it? "

"You have truly admitted your identity! In this way, in terms of rapid progress, who can compare with you?" Master Hongdeng lowered his head slightly and did not answer immediately.

Chen Yuan smiled and said: "Don't want to say it? Originally, I thought it was difficult for you to cultivate, and now there are few contemporaries that I still recognize. I want to leave you some dignity. If you still don't understand, you can't blame me for using it.

Some means."

As he said that, he changed the subject: "Actually, you have no choice. Since you have been captured here by me and you have been promoted through my tribulation energy, then you are dead. It will not be difficult for me to find out the truth. You always

You don’t think that people from Wanghai Palace can still come here to rescue you, do you?”

Master Hongdeng was silent for a long time, and then said: "I know the situation of Wanghai Palace very well. It is an empty frame. It seems that it is powerful, but it has been hollowed out for a long time, especially the real masters have long been gone. With the help of

The geography and formation, as well as the sect's treasures, may still be able to compete with you, but once we leave the mountain gate, how can we be your opponent?"

Halfway through, he stopped, was silent for a long time, and sighed: "Forget it, the matter has come to this, just like you said, it is no longer up to me, and it is my destiny that I will not be able to touch the realm of refining the void.

Bar."

As he spoke, he suddenly spread out his left hand, and mist mixed with stars and stars sprang out from his palm, lingering and spinning in his palm, and finally turned into a ball.

Chen Yuan was so close, even if he didn't deliberately explore, he still caught the familiar ripples from the calamity aura——

This is exactly the calamity left by his past true form.

The so-called calamity qi is actually a kind of mysterious energy of heaven and earth, similar to the dragon qi of the earth veins that Chen Yuan once collected. In fact, there is tribulation qi not only when going through tribulations, but whenever a great catastrophe comes, tribulation qi arises on its own and can even spread throughout the world.

throughout.

It's just that the tribulation monks will become more intense because of the tribulations. Especially when they are fighting against the natural disasters with their own strength, the tribulation energy will rise layer by layer, mixed with the mysterious power of luck, destiny, etc.

Completely formed!

However, tribulations come and go very quickly. Whether it is a failure to overcome a tribulation and the person dies, or he survives a disaster and ascends to the right path, the tribulation energy will dissipate quickly.

Therefore, if you want to obtain calamity energy, the window period is actually very short, and it is by no means that easy.

"The reason why I got your calamity energy was also a coincidence."

Looking at Chen Yuan, Master Hongdeng said slowly: "I didn't intercept this energy at all. It was left by someone not far away when you were going through the tribulation. It was forged and condensed and then collected into the door. Until it was more than a hundred years old.

Years ago, your Dongxuan Sect encountered a catastrophe, and was attacked by the son of luck at that time. The door was in chaos, and many collections were scattered outside. Only then did I get this calamity..."

Chen Yuan's expression changed slightly and he said, "Who knocked on the door?"

"You should have heard of his name. His surname is Hua, and his single name is Huan. However, when you were alive, you may have had great luck in this world, and it was difficult for others to stand out. When you failed to overcome the catastrophe,

Many people have made rapid progress, and Hua Yao is one of them. In just fifty years, he has reached the point of returning to the void..."

Having said this, Master Hongdeng raised his head and looked at Chen Yuan with a strange expression: "And after all, this person has some connection with you."

Chen Yuan originally wanted to ask why this person came to the door. Hearing this question, he said: "I have some impressions of this person, but he is not from the east coast or the southeast. What is his connection with me?"

"This person is the successor of your fourth disciple Qi Yongye."

Chen Yuan was even more surprised and said: "If he is the descendant of Xiaosi, how can he be admitted to Dongxuan Sect?"

Master Hongdeng continued: "Qi Yongye was seriously injured when he was traveling. During his recovery period, he had some encounters. He met Hua'an, who was just starting out at that time. They had experienced a lot. Hua'an received Qi Yongye's guidance and solved the hidden dangers in his practice.

Eliminating them one by one will establish the possibility of immortality. You must know that the method that this person first practiced can be said to be a side door among side doors. Not to mention the chance of immortality, if it continues, the physical body will collapse in just a few years, so he follows his teacher.

Serve Qi Yongye with courtesy. This happened before you went through the tribulation, but I think you didn’t bother much."

"After several disciples have completed their studies, they have all left the profession. Why do you need me to ask more questions?" Chen Yuan narrowed his eyes and stopped asking questions. He simply said: "Just tell me, why did he repay kindness with enmity in the end?"

Hearing the impatience in Chen Yuan's words, Master Hongdeng immediately became more honest and said: "This person received Qi Yongye's guidance and practiced until he reached the realm of fake elixirs. However, the subsequent skills were gone and he became thousands of people."

After a lot of hard work, I found your disciple and wanted to learn the later parts. However, Qi Yongye did not dare to teach it, saying that it was a forbidden method in the sect. He needed Hua Yao to formally become a disciple of the sect and enter the Dongxuan Sect before he could learn the later parts.
