Cyber Daming

In Yongle Cave, the sun sets in the west.

The setting sun sheds like fire flames, igniting the entire long river, and a small boat sails between the river fires.

Fu Li stood at the bow of the boat. The snake-like beast shadow attached to the back of his hand had disappeared. Instead, there was a woman standing behind him, pole rowing.

The woman has a pretty appearance. Although she is dressed in a smart outfit, there is a charm that cannot be concealed between her eyebrows. Her waist is straight and she looks around with interest.

This is the true appearance of Shen Tu, one of the Nine Lords of the Eastern Palace, whose title is ‘Zhulong’.

The hull of the boat broke through the waves and made a roaring sound. The river was surrounded by thick fog, as if a city wall built on the river was slowly moving with sight.

Occasionally, you can see a corner of the mountain through the gaps in the mist, with lush vegetation and palaces nestled among them.

"The leader's Yongle Cave is truly a beautiful sight."

A woman's clear voice suddenly sounded on the boat.

"If you can't speak, shut up."

Shen Tu pursed his lips and smiled: "Why are you so angry? Now this place has been stolen by Longhu Mountain for the time being, but when we leave, won't it be returned to you?"

"Give it back to me? Humph, I'm afraid it should be returned to your East Palace!"

"If you want to say that, that's too foreign. We are all one family now, so what difference does it make whether this authority belongs to Guidong Palace or Yongle Palace?"

Shen Tu slowly traced the long pole in his hand to the bottom of the river. Surrounded by the stirring ripples were fish chasing the boat curiously.

"And before I come here this time, Lord Shenjun specifically asked me to tell you that he is only temporarily borrowing this cave and will never destroy the structure in it. After this period of time, it will definitely be returned to its original owner."

Shen Tu paused for a moment before blinking at the figure not far away: "If you want to use this to regain Yongle Palace, maybe we can be of some help."

Fu Li ignored the other party and was in a daze, the emotions in his eyes were complicated and unspeakable.

He raised his hand in front of him, as if he wanted to catch the mist, but it flowed through his fingers, and his palm was still empty.

A hint of bitterness appeared on the corner of Fu Li's mouth. After a while, he finally spoke: "I have a few questions to ask you."

"Master, please tell me, this little girl must tell you everything she knows and tell you everything she wants."

"You know clearly that I have lost my seat as a C-shaped Celestial Immortal, so why are you so sure that I can lead you into this cave?"

"The Immortal Seat? Are you referring to the Huangliang authority? Of course."

Shen Tu admitted straightforwardly: "Although the authority here was taken away by Zhang Xiji, it was built by Yongle Palace himself after all. It's not like there are not even some secret doors reserved for entry and exit, right?"

Fu Li frowned slightly, as if he was a little dissatisfied with Shen Tu calling the "immortal class seat" with "authority".

Although he knew that the essence of the two was the same thing, it still felt very awkward.

"So you, the Eastern Palace, have been plotting against Zhang Xiji for the Heavenly Immortal seat from the very beginning?"

"He went too far."

Shen Tu let out a long sigh: "If he hadn't insisted on using Huang Liang as a shield and scapegoat, we would not have wanted to offend this Daoxu two Ye Tianjun."

Fu Li asked in a deep voice: "What is your purpose?"

"What do you mean?"

"You Yin Yang Order obviously have such tyrannical strength. Why did you choose to swallow your anger when faced with the division of Huangliang by other families, without even a decent resistance?"

Shen Tu said softly: "What can we do even if we fight back? After all, it is difficult for two fists to defeat four hands. And because Huang Liang is special to us, it is destined that others will not allow us to have too much authority."

"So you actually knew early on that after the completion of Huangliang, you would be squeezed out by other sequences?!"

"That's right." Shen Tu nodded.

Fu Li asked in confusion: "Then why do you still participate in the construction of Huangliang?"

"Headmaster, do you think that without these permissions, Huang Liang has nothing to do with our Yin and Yang order?"

Shen Tu laughed and said: "Permissions are only for use, not ownership. This Nether Sea will always belong to Huangliang himself. On the contrary, giving up these permissions can allow other sequences to use the dream with peace of mind, and help Huangliang grow faster. ”

"growing up?"

Fu Li snorted: "So your purpose is to create gods?"

"Don't you think this world is lacking something?"

Shen Tu said with a smile but not a smile: "Here are the ancient imperial palaces, the emerging three religions and nine streams, there are Buddhists who practice Buddhism and Taoism in their dreams without chanting sutras, there are Confucian scholars who do nothing and are promoted to officials, there are machines that have replaced flesh and blood, and there are also flesh and blood that win the battle. Beyond steel”

Fu Li interrupted the other party impatiently and scolded him coldly: "What on earth do you want to say?!"

"Our world coexists the old and the new, true and false, but it lacks the most important thing, which is order."

Shen Tu said loudly: "The root cause of all chaos is that there is no master in this world who can truly command all living beings!"

dominate

Fu Li's heart was throbbing, as if there was a voice in the dark urging him to kneel down and kowtow.

The surrounding fog was constantly surging, and horrifying scenes were intertwined in it.

"Wuxu's rampage was rampant, Confucian Xu's factions were fighting, Dao Xu's old and new betrayals, Buddhist's Xu's faith collapsed, and Mo Xu's ideas were split. All these things happened because in the final analysis there was a lack of a master to uphold justice."

Fu Li, who suddenly lost consciousness, could not stop Shen Tu's words from entering his mind.

"You mentioned God just now. Yes, such a being with infinite power can only be described as 'God'."

Shen Tu shook his head gently: "But in my opinion, the term 'God' is still too one-sided. He should be both heaven and earth, and parents, carrying all things and nurturing all things. Under His care, there will be no more intrigue and deception in the world. Our energy should be focused on exploring the sequence and above the sequence."

"Zhuang Zhou's dream of a butterfly is ultimately just an illusion!"

Fu Li's forehead veins bulged, as if he was struggling to get rid of the illusion that was entangled in his mind, and he squeezed out stiff words from his teeth.

"When everyone abandons their flesh and ascends to Huangliang, will anyone still think that the Huangliang world is just an illusion?"

Shen Tu's smile is still bright.

"Is it Zhuang Zhou dreaming of a butterfly, or is it the butterfly dreaming of Zhuang Zhou? The ancients were not able to think clearly, but we have the opportunity to see it clearly."

Shen Tu's words seemed to have the power to clear the clouds and see the sun. The fog that filled the river surface suddenly dispersed at this moment, as if the curtain was opened, and finally the green mountains on both sides were revealed.

Pavilions, towers, flowing water and waterfalls, exotic flowers and rocks all came into view.

In the middle, a winding mountain road led directly to the top of the mountain. Along the way stood layers of palaces and palaces, with incense curling and bells ringing.

Shen Tu drove the boat to a small ferry on the shore. Fu Li got off the boat first and walked up the mountain with his head down. His face was ashen and he kept silent throughout the whole process, as if nothing had happened just now.

Perhaps because the Tianshi Mansion has opened up the immortal fate, there are now far more Taoist orders practicing in this cave than when the Yongle Palace was presided over.

In front of every Taoist temple, people come and go, bustling and lively.

These Taoist orders seemed to be unable to see Fu Li walking in front, but could only see Shen Tu following behind, curiously looking up and down at the rare female nun among the Taoist orders. Shen Tu was not afraid of the stage, and smiled and nodded in return.

Fu Li slowed down his pace, his eyes lingering and hovering between the Taoist temples lined up on both sides.

Behind these Taoist temples is a different dream world, in which the background, story context, local customs, how many people can be accommodated, how many years can be reincarnated, what tests are set, what immortal fate is hidden, he knows everything clearly, and even some of them were built by him.

Yongle Palace, once known as the Great Chunyang Wanshou Palace. Its history is far longer than that of the Ming Empire.

And these worlds are the accumulation of the foundation of countless generations of Yongle Palace.

But now they are exposed to outsiders without reservation, and they can enter and exit at will and choose freely.

Fu Li's fists clenched and made a crackling sound, and the space around him twisted and vibrated.

Some Taoists passing by seemed to have noticed something strange here, and cast doubtful glances.

"Master Fu Li, a little impatience will ruin a big plan. These people will pay the price for their blasphemous behavior sooner or later. Why are you angry now?"

Fu Li responded to Shen Tu's warning with a cold snort, and no longer lingered, striding straight to the Sanqing Hall on the top of the mountain.

There were not many Taoists who were able to enter the Taoist temple on the top of the mountain, and the area of ​​the Sanqing Hall was really vast, so the appearance of Fu Li and Shen Tu was not noticeable at all, and did not attract anyone's special attention.

"This is the foundation of the entire Yongle Cave Heaven, Chaoyuan Tu"

Shen Tu looked at the wonderful mural that occupied the entire wall in front of him, and couldn't help but look amazed.

There are four emperors, immortals, immortal officials, heavenly soldiers, strong men, stars, etc. in the painting, a total of 394 gods, each of which corresponds to a well-constructed reincarnation dream. It can be seen that the entire Yongle Cave Heaven is huge and vast, and the entire Yongle Taoist sect has a profound foundation.

Even Shen Tu, the master of the three dreams of Yin and Yang, could not overlap so many branch dreams in one Yonggu Cave Heaven.

In the center of such a huge and complex mural, there is Yuanshi Tianzun, one of the main gods in Taoism, holding a flower and a seal in his left hand, but his right hand is empty.

It is precisely because of this vacancy that the delicate eyebrows and eyes of the statue lose their original spiritual charm, and the entire Chaoyuan mural becomes rigid and stiff.

As for this missing thing, it is naturally the goal of the two people's trip.

The Bingzi Tianxian mentioned by Fu Li, and the Huangliang authority mentioned by Shen Tu.

"I have done what I should do. Whether you can lock in the seat taken away by Zhang Xiji depends on your ability."

Fu Li said in a cold tone.

"Don't worry, Master, it won't take too long, and this Chaoyuan map will be complete and return to the hands of your sect again."

Shen Tu smiled and said, and when he raised his hand, a fierce gust of wind rushed in from outside the hall, rolling up the banners and incense in the hall.

Fu Li suddenly had an idea, turned around and walked out of the hall, looking around.

I saw that the lush green of the mountain turned yellow at a speed visible to the naked eye, withered leaves floating and falling to the ground, piling up and rotting, and in the miasma, green was growing rapidly, blooming branches and leaves, and then withering again, repeating the cycle.

The long river at the foot of the mountain was frozen by the harsh frost at one moment, and then blown open by the warm spring breeze at the next moment, birds fell and flew up, and fish became fat and thin.

The wind and clouds changed, and the seasons kept changing.

The time of the entire cave was constantly going back.

"The dream master's rule [Time flies]."

Fu Li muttered to himself, and his eyes fell on the Taoist temple in the mountains.

I saw the walls, archways, pavilions, courtyards. These things that have been circulating for thousands of years remain unmoved in the turning years.

However, the Taoist order connecting the cave could not escape this sudden disaster.

The reincarnation was forcibly pulled out of the dream world, and his consciousness was completely wiped out before he could wake up from the severe pain.

Those who were still choosing their favorite dream world noticed the shocking changes happening around them, but no matter how hard they struggled, they could not disconnect from this cave.

He could only watch as a bystander, horrified and despairing, as his body was like a puppet on strings, replaying all his experiences in the cave from near to far, and finally exploded into bubbles on the ground.

"Headmaster...is that you?"

Fu Li heard a call of surprise coming from behind him, but he turned a deaf ear and stared at the strange figures that suddenly appeared in the Taoist temple.

‘They’ stood up straight from the ground, and the blood under their feet flowed back into their wounds.

‘They’ crossed the high threshold backwards, the paleness on their faces covered with redness.

‘They’ put the magic weapon back into their sleeves, and the anger in their eyes was replaced by joy.

The faces of ‘theirs’ were so familiar, so friendly, and it was astonishing that they were all his former disciples.

But what appeared in Fu Li's mind at this moment was the scene of them dying tragically in front of him.

"Disciples of Yongle, pay your respects to the master!"

The shouts were thunderous, but Fu Li closed his eyes in pain.

He knew very well that the 'them' in front of him were not his disciples, but ghosts.

This is no longer the Yongle Cave of the past, but an underworld demon nest that contains Huangliang demons and ghosts.

"Yongle Fuli, I am ashamed of my ancestors, but my disciples really have no choice."

Fu Li's voice was melancholy, but his thoughts were extremely firm.

"Only in this way can this disciple take revenge on Longhu Mountain and Zhang Xiji! If the ancestors want to impose punishments, my disciple Fuli will accept it sincerely and be willing to fall into reincarnation forever and never be a human being again!"

The sound was sonorous and every word echoed.

Suddenly, Fu Li's eyes suddenly opened, a cold light suddenly appeared, and he turned to look into the hall behind him.

In the center of the Chao Yuan Diagram, in the hand of the Primordial Lord worshiped by the gods, there was an orb, which was blooming with golden light.

The dazzling images all over the wall are vivid and powerful, as if they are off the wall.

"The foundation of Yongle, the C-character Immortal Class"

At this moment, Fu Li could no longer control the emotions surging in his heart, and his eyebrows trembled.

If there was no such seat, Yongle Palace would not attract Zhang Xiji's covetous attention.

But similarly, Yongle Palace will not have the glorious past of being ranked among the "Four Mountains and One Palace".

"Blessings come and misfortunes depend on them, misfortunes come"

Phew!

The sound of a sharp weapon entering flesh interrupted Fu Li's muttering.

He looked down and saw the tip of the sword piercing his heart.

This injury was not considered fatal in the dream, but Fu Li clearly felt that his body in the real world was decaying and drying up, cutting off his vitality.

"Thank you Taoist Taoist for making this happen. If there is an opportunity in the future, Pindao will definitely tell the world about Taoist Taoist's deeds today. As for the Yongle Taoist tradition, Pingdao will also pass it on for Taoist Taoist."

Fu Li turned his neck with all his strength, and finally, before exhaustion, he used the corner of his eye to scan the person behind him.

"It turns out it's you."

The corner of Fu Li's mouth slowly raised an extremely contemptuous smile.

"Longhu Mountain is really ridiculous!"
