one's door

Can't see, can't perceive what is going through in your own consciousness.But in a daze, there is a feeling that the consciousness is being sewn with something stitch by stitch.

Chapter 598

It's the same as Huang Tianyu said.The whole process didn't last long, it seemed that it was only a meal, and Zhang Yan had an extra "fork" in his consciousness that had never existed before.

And this "fork" at the level of consciousness is completely different from the self-awareness Zhang Yan is used to.Stepping in a little bit, you will have the illusion of being washed by huge waves in the boundless ocean.So much so that Zhang Yan couldn't adapt at all at first, and even suffered from severe dizziness.

But these feelings are not in the scope of Huang Tianyu's concern.When this "fork" of consciousness appeared, it marked that Huangtianyu had successfully established a connection with Zhang Yan about the evolution of creatures inside Huangtianyu.It also means that Huang Tianyu has finished what he should do, and the rest is up to Zhang Yan.

"Huh... this feeling is really indescribable."

Jiang Ziwen was still telling his ghost cultivators to evacuate from the central area of ​​the ghost domain, and it would take some time to evacuate hundreds of miles away.During this time, Zhang Yan stood motionless on the high tower in the middle, most of his thoughts were immersed in his own consciousness, repeatedly trying to see if he could formally connect himself with the evolution of the world and the living beings.

It's mostly an adaptation process.

In the beginning, Zhang Yan couldn't even stay in it for three breaths and fight after stepping into that fork in consciousness.After gnashing your teeth many times in the future, the time to stay gradually becomes longer and longer.

It takes a long time to stay in the new branch of consciousness before you can truly experience it, not just feel dizzy.

I feel that the reason for the dizziness is not that there is any real danger, but that there is too much information contained in the branch of consciousness, which is huge and unpredictable, and the flow of information is far faster than Zhang Yan's habit, which leads him to feel dizzy.After slowly getting used to the torrent of information, some aspects of it can be seen clearly.

Those are tiny "silk threads", each of which is "flowing", but at the same time originate from the same "source point", which is the "clue" about the evolution of creatures that Huang Tianyu told Zhang Yan at the beginning.

And each "silk thread" looks small, but the information inside is beyond imagination.

"Take" a "silk thread" at hand, which can contain every moment a creature has experienced from birth to the present.And the final death result of the remaining creature that was blurred out in the second half.

That is to say, this tiny "silk thread" is a creature that really exists in the wild world.And you can see every bit of this creature in it, as well as the general direction of the final death.

Mind search, as long as he adapts to the rapid flow of information, he can easily find the vein of the creature he wants to find from this vast ocean of "silk threads".

But you can only watch, but you can't interfere or cut off.Only after the life of this creature ends and enters the gray part, which is the part of death, is it possible for Zhang Yan to influence the final rotation direction of this "silk thread".

In the process of gradually adapting, Zhang Yan also understood why Huang Tianyu said that he should do the rest himself.With this "fork" in his consciousness, the veins and destinations of all living beings merged with him in a disguised form.In this way, the biggest difficulty in setting up the underworld will be cleared.

It is just a matter of details how to reset the new hell on the Desolate Sky Territory with reference to the hell in the era of earth legends.These are all things that Zhang Yan can solve by thinking about it and learning from it.

But out of curiosity, after Zhang Yan concentrated his consciousness on one of the "silk threads", this newly opened "fork" in his consciousness made him discover a new mystery again.

There was a blur in front of his eyes, and even his entire perception was turned upside down in a burst of dizziness, like a scene like falling into an illusion after he calmed down for a moment.All perceptions, including emotions, are integrated into this "thread".It's just that you can't "move", and you can't control your "body".Because this is neither a real illusion nor a real environment, but a falling into a memory, or falling into a real life's journey record.Experience the other person's life journey from the first perspective and at the same time absorb all the emotions of this creature.

Joy, anger, sorrow, birth, old age, sickness, and death... The mixed flavors make Zhang Yan intoxicated quickly.It seems that I am a living being, and what I experience is not "false", but what really happened to me.

Whether it was true or not, even Zhang Yan couldn't tell.

The first "silk thread" that Zhang Yan experienced belonged to an ant.The short lifespan of three to five years makes Zhang Yan feel a little thrilling.Even those simple emotions can always make him feel a lot in his heart.

And when Zhang Yan came back to his senses, the life of following an ant was only a few breaths.Let him understand that the time in the "silk thread" cannot be judged by real time.

But this time, Zhang Yan had a new understanding of the word "small".And it is a direction of comprehension that was completely impossible in the past.

An ant can give Zhang Yan such a feeling, but what about more complicated creatures?What will it be like?

Zhang Yan didn't keep his curiosity, but directly picked a "silk thread" out of the "fork" in his consciousness again, and then went in with a sinking heart.

This time it was a woman.This woman was wealthy in the first half of her life, and she was a very comfortable rich lady.In the second half of his life, his family experienced major changes and ended up in poverty.Died in a small broken house with a leak in the whole body of illness.

This woman's life expectancy is not long, just 57 years.The first 30 years were considered prosperous and healthy, but the lake surface became more and more desolate as it went on for more than 20 years.

The emotions that an ant can express are few and single, and they are mainly bound by instinct.Even if it is death, they will not have any "sorrowful" emotions.Because their instincts have long been extremely indifferent to life and death, they can struggle to survive, but when death is inevitable, they will be extremely calm.

People are different.Emotions that were so complex that even Zhang Yan, who is also a human race, had never imagined, accompanied this woman's life clearly, in every detail, but quickly felt the same in Zhang Yan's consciousness.It was as if he was that woman, and he had also experienced such a life that he couldn't tell whether it was good or bad.

"Huh..." Even if he became a fairy after three calamities, Zhang Yan couldn't be calm for a long time in this short "life" of a cup of tea.For the first time, various negative emotions welled up in my heart.Focus on unwillingness and regret and grief.He knew that this should not be his emotional reaction, but was affected by the woman's life.

"Is this the 'benefit' that Huang Tianyu said it should have for me? I don't need to really experience it, but I can 'really' experience what all living beings see, hear and feel... It seems that I can understand something?"

Chapter 599 Huang Quan

Zhang Yan did not continue to focus on the life journey of those creatures.First of all, he hasn't adjusted well to continue to accept the emotional changes that are intertwined with wonderful life perceptions.Second, right now is not the time for him to spend his time wantonly, there are more important things for him to take care of.

That is to put the convenience of the life evolution context built with Huang Tianyu this time on the construction of the underworld.

The first one is to have a beginning for all living beings to enter the next life journey: reincarnation disk.

It doesn't need to be as delicate as the six-way roulette in the legend of the earth, and it doesn't need to involve so many "life and death".Only the simplest "beast way" and "human way" are needed.

The animal realm includes all non-spiritual creatures in the wild world.Or to be more precise, all creatures except the monster race and human race, as well as the rare monster race belong to the animal realm.

And the human world is the remaining human race and monster race.Zhang Yan thought about it, but in the end he didn't make any discounts on the Yaozu's death.Or choose to keep the ethnic groups that evolved naturally from the Huangtian Territory as they were.Otherwise, he could actually kill the Yaozu when he passed away, and naturally the new life of the Yaozu would drop sharply, and it would be completely extinct in less than ten years.

It's just that Zhang Yan didn't choose to do this.

The question is which method to choose to build the simple version of the reincarnation disk in Zhang Yan's mind.

The way to use the device?Or use the array directly?

In addition, before the final point, a series of screening links and the most reasonable chance of reincarnation are required.The most important thing is to reflect the simple purpose of "punishing evil and promoting good", while trying to be fair and just.

Zhang Yan doesn't believe in artificial screening.Even Jiang Ziwen, who in his heart needs to sit in Huangquan to guard the underworld in the future, is not qualified to be exposed to the screening of good and evil before reincarnation.

In Zhang Yan's opinion, the most fair way is still within a fixed screening rule, and the screening is fixed according to this rule.It's like setting a ruler and passing it one by one in front of the ruler. Whichever ruler belongs to it will enter the result determined by that rule.There is no room for bargaining, and there is no room for favoritism.

It's just a pity that we don't have the ability to build a "hell" for the time being. As for punishing evil, we can only stay in the life after life and pretend to be a beast, doing cattle or horses or becoming a meal on the plate.This is still a long way from the punishment in Zhang Yan's heart.

The last is a means of protection that can ensure the core of reincarnation and the screening rules for good and evil.You can't expose these important things outside, can you?Therefore, it is necessary to have a strong composite formation with both offense and defense.

So Zhang Yan stayed in Huangquan for several years.He cleared all the center of the ghost domain with a radius of three hundred miles into a flat place, and then set up the magic circle first.Nine layers of defense plus nine layers of killing formations, using Zhou Tian Xingdou large formation as the base of the formation, and then using some fairy methods to add color, and finally the energy of the large formation comes from the strong yin energy that exists naturally in the ghost domain Connected together, using Yin Qi as the energy source, as long as the Yin Qi in the ghost domain is endless, the formation will not stop due to lack of energy.This passage is borrowed from the method of ghost cultivation.

After that is the refiner.After thinking about it, Zhang Yan decided to use the method of refining to achieve the effect similar to the evil mirror table.And the refining weapon has a great convenience compared to the pure magic circle, because the magic weapon can be entrusted to the primordial spirit.In other words, Zhang Yan only needs to entrust a part of his soul on this magic weapon, and then build the magic circle veins on the magic weapon, and then he can directly transfer the "living evolution vein" existing in his main consciousness. Connect to this artifact.Even in the middle, he can save his own thoughts and turns, and can operate independently and efficiently.

The core reincarnation disk was also embodied as an entity by Zhang Yan using the means of refining.Then the inner core is the same as the "false evil mirror platform", which is convenient for Zhang Yan's soul to place on it and then connect the evolution of living beings.

It sounds simple, but actually there are still many problems that need to be solved one by one.Even in the process, there will be many difficulties that Zhang Yan didn't expect at all in advance.

However, I have to say that this time, Zhang Yan's attainments in refining weapons and formations have been raised by several levels.He even felt that he already had his own habits and styles for refining weapons and formations.In the past, I could only say "know how to use it", but now it is "good at it".

In the end, the "False Evil Mirror Platform" and "Reincarnation Disk" were successively refined, and they were all serious fairy artifacts.They are the only two that Zhang Yan has successfully refined so far.He even felt that there was a lot of luck in the success of these two immortal artifacts.

But in any case, several cores of the underworld and the magic circle protecting the cores have been completed.The next thing to do is to move the path of life and death from the original location to the big ghost domain, and connect it with the simplified version of the underworld that Zhang Yan spent eight years building to form a new path of death.

Guiding the dead creatures in the entire Huangtian Territory to the same place sounds like a bigger challenge than Zhang Yan's refining the immortal weapon.But in fact, on the contrary, this matter is not difficult, it can be regarded as the simplest and most relaxed of all the links in Zhang Yan's establishment of the underworld.

This is due to the special geographical location of the ghost domain: the gap in space.

Theoretically speaking, the distance from any place in the normal space of Huangtianyu to the ghost domain is the same.It can be reached by passing through the two layers of barriers between the spaces.And Zhang Yan can do this by connecting the final points of the evolutionary creature's veins together. Naturally, he will use the power that belongs to heaven and earth to go directly to the ghost domain at the moment the creature sinks into the ground after death.

For this reason, Zhang Yan purposely built a huge space slide inside the large formation of the underworld, which will be used as a path for countless creatures to enter the underworld after death.At the same time, it also prevents all living souls who enter the ghost domain from running around in the ghost domain, but follow this slide all the way down, pass the false evil mirror along the path, and then enter the human realm or the beast realm according to their weight.And it will leave a record on the false and evil mirror, so that some heinous sins that need to struggle in the animal realm for many lives or even forever will be fulfilled.

"Good and evil will be rewarded in the end. It's not that there is no retribution, it's just that the time has not come. Now, the time has come." Zhang Yan looked at the place he had built for nearly ten years. Although it was still crude, it had the most basic functions.Now should be the time for the official opening.Any follow-up adjustments will be made according to the actual situation.

Following Zhang Yan's soft words like talking to himself, the whole ghost domain shook violently, and stopped suddenly after a dozen or so breaths.Immediately after that, faint bright spots began to appear on that slideway, and within a blink of an eye, they converged into a river like stars and flowed straight down...

Chapter 600

The territory of Nanyuan Kingdom has changed since three days ago. A piece of white clothing began to decorate the streets and alleys. Although it is not possible to hear crying in every family, the faces of passers-by are still more or less sad. .

The land of a country mourns.Even the emperor Yang Sheng ordered civil and military officials to be vegetarian for one month to express their condolences.

Who can be so honored after death?

Langyuan City, Zhang Mansion.

One and a half months ago, Zhang Yan returned to the home where he had been away for several years.No one brought him back.But he came back in a hurry because of a feeling in his heart.

Because Zhang Yan's mother, Wang Lanping, who is already a hundred years old, is approaching her lifespan.

As the saying goes, a person who attains enlightenment can ascend to heaven.Although this seems exaggerated, it is not without reason.At least for close blood relatives, they can indeed enjoy great benefits.

Don't mention the current scenery of the Zhang family, just talk about Wang Lanping.Before Zhang Yan came back, Wang Lanping's health was not very good.It is a great fortune to live past seventy.But now that the full lifespan is over a hundred, it can definitely be called a birthday star among ordinary people who are not monks or warriors.

Relying on Zhang Yan's elixir tonic from time to time, and even the life-prolonging elixir to increase the lifespan limit.Coupled with the fact that the Zhang family is now rich and well-off in the world, Wang Lanping lived a life far beyond her original lifespan, and died without illness or pain, with a smile on her face.

Back home more than a month early, Zhang Yan walked the last stretch of the road with his mother.The old man had a keen sense, and he guessed the reason why his second son, who was not around all the year round and had great abilities, suddenly came back and stayed for three or five days without leaving.But the old man didn't say anything, he smiled and enjoyed perhaps the last filial piety he could experience.

When she was dying, Wang Lanping didn't even have anything to explain and exhort to her knees and back.Because everything around her is so satisfactory.

Of course, if there are regrets, there are.For example, the second son has not married yet.It's just that she had already understood this matter years ago.Look at the two sons who seem to be nailed to their early thirties, it is indeed too difficult to find a marriage.Who can stay with me?

The old man sent away.A big obsession in Zhang Yan's heart that was inherited from the original owner of the body disappeared instantly.I didn't feel this in the past, but now I feel light after I unload it suddenly.

"Zhang Er, how many drinks with brother?"

"it is good."

It was still under the big tree in the backyard of the old house.It has flourished over the years.

Zhang Shun asked his son to set up a small table with two appetizers and two jugs of wine, sitting opposite Zhang Yan.He waved away the son and grandson who wanted to stay and serve.He grabbed the chopsticks on the table and signaled Zhang Yan to start eating.

The two brothers hadn't walked together to eat and drink like this for many years.And even though Zhang Shun has been living a leisurely life these years, he has basically started to focus on training the next generation of shopkeepers, and he no longer has to do many things by himself.But the years are not forgiving, and the old age still climbed up his cheeks and back.At this moment, compared with Zhang Yan who was sitting across from him, he didn't look like a generation at all.

"Zhang Er, mother left, much more peacefully than father at that time, with a smile on her face. Hehe, this makes me feel better." Putting down his chopsticks, Zhang Shun picked up his wine glass , made a big move, spilled some wine, touched Zhang Yan, and drank it in one gulp.

Then Zhang Shun said again: "Thank you."

"Where is the big brother talking?"

"Hey, ninety-nine percent of Zhang's current prosperity is due to your Zhang Er's credit. Otherwise, who would give face? How can business be so easy? I don't know how many times I have been swallowed alive by people. They are famous if you are there." I dare not take a second look at the Zhang family's business."

In fact, let’s not go too far, let’s just say that the ceremony of national mourning held by Nanyuan Kingdom this time is to give Wang Lanping the greatest honor, isn’t it just because of Zhang Yan’s face?Some things Zhang Shun knew very well in his heart, but in the past he felt that there was no need for two brothers to speak so clearly, as long as he knew it in his heart.But now there are some words that he has to make clear.

"Brother, do you have something to explain to me?" Zhang Yan filled his glass with wine.

Zhang Shun shook his head and said, "Confession? What can I explain to you? It's just that after so many years, the Zhang family and the Zeng family have almost achieved the ultimate in learning and business. You said that prosperity and decline , I am worried that this will be the choice that the Zhang family will face later. So I would like to hear your suggestion."

Zhang Shun also knew in his heart that he couldn't bother his second brother with everything.And the second brother's mind has never been on the Zhang family's business.Even money or status, to put it bluntly, are these farts in the eyes of the second brother?In the face of real power, everything the Zhang family possesses is just floating clouds, which will disperse when the wind comes.

But the reason why power is dazzling is because it is difficult to obtain.The only one in the Zhang family who has been able to enter the cliff mountain for so many years is Zeng Youren, a cousin, and there is no descendant with the surname Zhang.On the other hand, the number of practice paths has been released later on. Although there are two children who cannot enter the cliff mountain, it is still no problem for them to practice as casual cultivators at home.

However, some emerging small practice sects have expressed their willingness to recruit Zhang family disciples to the Zhang family.Zhang Shun refused.Knowing that these people have impure motives, they will inevitably suffer disasters in the future.

The Zhang family's most reliable source of strength has always been unable to get rid of Zhang Yan's influence.This is not a good thing.It is also a hidden danger that Zhang Shun has been trying to change.After all, it is impossible for Zhang Yan to protect the Zhang family for a lifetime.

Now my mother passed away.It can be said that most of the family's involvement with Zhang Yan has gone.The grace of childbearing is considered to be repaid.And the brother-sister relationship in the rest of the family, although it has not changed over the years, is only limited to the word "brother and sister" of "brother-sister relationship".For the juniors behind, Zhang Shun could clearly see the disregard in Zhang Yan's eyes.He understood that once he and his younger sister were gone, the only way for the Zhang family to get Zhang Yan's protection would be to get married, and the real hope was that they could not.

So, taking advantage of the opportunity of Zhang Yan's return this time, Zhang Shun wanted to listen to his second brother's suggestion, so as to plan the future direction of the Zhang family and the Zhang family's related interest chain.

"My suggestion? The peak and the decline are inevitable. Only by constantly extending your limit can you go forward. But once you reach the peak or the follow-up is weak, you must be mentally prepared to go downhill. .

The descendants of the Zhang family are rich enough to be rich for five generations even if they do not live up to expectations.As for after five generations.Hehe, big brother, don't you think you can take care of the Zhang family's affairs from generation to generation and protect them? "

Five generations, this is what Zhang Yan gave.Love for the whole life.Even if you become a fairy, it is impossible to protect the eternal prosperity for generations.

Of course, Zhang Yan also understands the big brother Zhang Shun's thoughts.Human beings all want to pass on what they have in hand, even if there is no way to make all future generations great, then find a way to rely on external forces to protect them.Zhang Yan, an immortal who seemed to be able to live for a long time, was naturally the best choice.

"Hehe, Zhang Er, it's true for you to say that. I've lived more than half of my life, and it's no fun to worry about these things. Come, come, drink!"

Although the words did not continue the topic about the Zhang family.The wine also continued to drink.But Zhang Shun knew in his heart that this was the answer given to him by his second brother.At most, it's just protecting the five generations of the Zhang family, and that's the best of benevolence.As for after the five generations, it depends on the good fortune of the descendants themselves.

As a result, Zhang Yan felt that the future strategy of the Zhang family had to change.It can no longer be spread so large, but should be shrunk as much as possible.The smaller the target, the stronger the wind resistance.

Chapter 601

The Straw Dog and his party of five almost turned the entire Yaozu territory around once.It took ten years to return to the territory of the human race.

Ten years is neither long nor short.Even for monks, especially for monks who are as humble as a dog, it is a time span that is enough to raise one or even two small realms.

However, although the dog and his party have made great progress in the past ten years, they are nothing compared to the changes in the monster clan they have personally experienced.

In the past ten years, the Hound Dog and his party have distributed nearly a hundred talent rulers alone.There are countless booklets about breathing techniques and basic tips for physical training.Especially in the second half of the journey, the reason why he walked so slowly was not because of someone obstructing him, but because he tried his best to keep him.

The monster race is not stupid, and their eyesight to see the general situation is no worse than that of the human race.They understand that today's Huangtianyu is no longer the time for them to show off their might.The rise and becoming the general trend of the human race is inevitable.After losing the backing of the Yaoshen Palace, the Yaozu must choose a way to survive under the new general trend.And getting closer to the cliff mountain is their only choice.

Why not choose to directly improve the relationship with the human race?Because on the one hand, he couldn't save his face and bowed his head to a former safari target.On the other hand, it was also because of the "goodwill" offered by the cliff mountain that the Yaozu accepted it.

As long as you stay with Cliff Mountain, the human race will no longer be a problem.

In the past ten years, in the beginning, the upper echelons of the Yaozu didn't really mean it, and the main reason was to try to express their opinions.But after tasting the benefits of "body repair", it was like throwing a torch on a haystack, and he became enthusiastic.Even crazy.

So much so that in the second half of the Yaozu trip, every time the dog and his party had to sneak away, otherwise the Yaozu would try their best to keep them there.Including but not limited to various spirit stone offerings and more exotic female slaves and items.As long as the hound dogs open their mouths, almost all requirements can be satisfied.

When the entire westward journey is completed, and when it turns to the eastward journey, it is also officially announced that this time the action of spreading the law to the monster clan has officially ended.The latter is aimed at the inside of the human race.Compared with teaching the law in the Yaozu, the subsequent itinerary should be much simpler.

In fact, the westbound move of the dog and his party has already attracted a lot of attention in Huangtianyu, and even among the human race, there are many people who are guessing what the intention of Duanyashan's move is.Looking at those monks of the Yaozu who have practiced the way of physical training and their strength has improved by leaps and bounds, it is impossible for the human race not to be impatient.

After all, although the Cliff Mountain intentionally passed on the method of practice many years ago, it was obtained by the nations of the human race.The speed of practice and the actual combat effect seem to be incomparable to those physical monks of the Yaozu who are advancing by leaps and bounds!

However, the advantage in the early stage of physical training meeting Yaozu is too obvious.Just a few months of practice can be worth a year or even longer of hard work by a casual cultivator of the human race.

But no one has bad assumptions about Duanya Mountain, and they don't think that Duanyashan is deliberately fattening the monster race and weakening the human race.Instead, they were guessing that the Yanya Mountain Gate, which led all of this, should be thinking about something that ordinary people don't know.
