Imminent Misfortune [Rebirth]

It was night, with a senior brother staring at him, Fang Zhiyuan, who had been studying all night for three months, finally calmed down, and the room was moved back with tables, chairs and beds, which barely looked like a place where he lived alone.

Lin Lingqing's voice came faintly: "Why, you still want to ask Ziwei to help you in the debate tomorrow? Why are you so bad and bullying people?"

Fang Zhiyuan supported his face with one hand, and played with the psychic jade beads with the other hand, his eyes were deep and soft, "I don't have the leisure to bully others, bullying you is not bad."

Lin Lingqing corrected: "Being bullied by me is almost the same."

Fang Zhiyuan smiled.

His face gradually darkened after laughing, Fang Zhiyuan said in a low voice: "In the past three months, I have read all the books about ascension in the first seven floors of the Book Pavilion of Zhisong Academy, but almost found nothing. I feel something is wrong."

Lin Lingqing: "You mean?"

Fang Zhiyuan changed his posture and said solemnly: "Think about it, there are five great experts in the realm of crossing the catastrophe in the fairy world, and they are all on the verge of half-step ascension, and they may break through the realm at any time. Once someone among them ascends, how can we hide it?" A monk living in the fairy world?"

Leaving aside the vision of heaven and earth and the nine-fold thunder calamity when ascending to break through the realm, I just want to think about a fairy head like Lukuifu, a demon king like Ao Yin, and an academy president like Yan Yu...

If they disappeared into the Shattered Void, how could they be hidden from the eyes and ears of everyone in the Immortal Realm?

From the present to the past, the ancient ascension people have left almost no clues to follow, vague, as if they never really existed.This is a very strange thing.

Lin Lingqing pondered, "...You are right. Could it be that the records of the ascended people in ancient times were erased by something, and this power is enough to surpass the memory of the entire fairy world...?"

As he talked, he himself began to feel unsure, "Hmm...there is such a power in the world?"

"If you want others not to know, unless you don't do it yourself." Fang Zhiyuan snorted, he turned his head and pointed to extinguish the only candle light on the desk, "Don't bother, senior brother just watch, I can always give it to you." It was picked out. If you are lucky... maybe it will be tomorrow?"

==========

The news that senior brother Bai Junyan, one of the few talents in the academy, and Fang Zhiyuan, the evil star of Xuyun, will have a debate spreads throughout the academy in the blink of an eye.

Debating is a tradition and a major feature of Shisong Academy.The rules are very simple and easy to understand. The two students separate from the east and west sides, and ask each other questions they know. Between you and me, the competition is who has deeper and wider knowledge.

It is not uncommon for academy students to debate with foreign guests, but this time the weight of the two parties in the debate is really not light.After all, they were young students. A group of people stopped memorizing books and studying homework, and talked enthusiastically all night.

At noon the next day, there were crowds of people under the Dao Discussion stage.On the stage, Fang Zhiyuan stood on the west side; Bai Junyan stood on the east side. According to the rules, the two sides went through the ceremony, and each sat down with his clothes lifted.

Bai Junyan raised his eyebrows proudly, and opened his mouth and raised his voice: "I heard from my juniors and sisters that Fang Xianchang has studied extensively in the Library Pavilion. Now that it is now, there is no need to be more restrained in today's debate. I wonder what Fang Xianchang wants?"

This sentence does not need to be more restrictive, it means that there is no scope.The onlookers couldn't help sighing: Brother Bai is knowledgeable and knowledgeable, this is determined to make Fang Zhiyuan make a big fool of himself...

Fang Zhiyuan didn't change his expression: "Whatever."

Bai Junyan snorted coldly, and asked first: "Please enlighten me. In ancient times, Dao gave birth to yin and yang, which turned into two qi. However, monks of my generation embrace yang qi and reject yin qi. What is the principle?"

The whispers in the audience gradually started.

Bai Junyan was quite cautious. In all fairness, the first question was not a difficult question, and ordinary monks could answer a few sentences.

It's just that it is quite cumbersome to explain the principle in detail, involving a lot of medical knowledge and historical references. He started with this question because he wanted to get a feel for Fang Zhiyuan's background.

Unfortunately, Bai Junyan could never have imagined that the one who was arguing with him was not Fang Zhiyuan, the evil star, but Jina, the holy son of Ziwei, who was supposed to sit on the mountain and sea star platform and retreat in a cold retreat...

As soon as Bai Junyan finished his question, Jina calmly transmitted his voice to Fang Zhiyuan with his soul: "This question is simple, because..."

Fang Zhiyuan folded his arms and raised his eyebrows: "——Because you are stupid."

He blurted out, and the audience was silent.

"..."

Bai Junyan was originally in high spirits, but now his eyes were dumbfounded, and his face twisted into a very strange expression.

Under the stage, Yuan Ziyi covered his face and sighed and couldn't bear to look directly at it. The students had never seen such an opening of the debate, and their jaws would drop.

"Fang Zhiyuan!!"

Bai Junyan's trembling roar in reality, and Jina's trembling curse in the sea of ​​consciousness, the two voices overlapped perfectly.

Fang Zhiyuan covered his lips expressionlessly and cleared his throat, and explained to Jina secretly with his spiritual sense: "...cough, I'm talking fast. Tell me, I'll listen."

Jina: "..."

Over there, Bai Junyan had endured to the limit, pointing at Fang Zhiyuan in a smoldering manner and cursing: "Okay, okay... since you don't know how to learn, just throw in the towel and get out of here! Don't spoil the academy's forum with your crazy talk! "

How ridiculous!Seeing Fang Zhiyuan's willingness to agree yesterday, he even wondered if this person has some skills, but this... This is clearly here to play tricks!

However, at the next moment, Fang Zhiyuan put away his mocking expression and said seriously: "In the ancient times, everything was not born. Once the chaos was divided, Tao gave birth to yin and yang, and yin and yang went up. For ninety or ninety thousand years, the universe Born in..."

"The sun and the moon are bright, the star tracks begin to travel, the thunder travels in the wilderness, and the wind and dust travel in the dark. In another ninety-nine thousand years, the yang will be clear, and the yin will be turbid, and there will be heaven and earth. For Yang Ling..."

Everyone was stunned for a moment before realizing that this person was endorsing a book.

I can recite several immortal classics that even the masters who teach in the academy will study endlessly!

Of course, Fang Xiaofuxing couldn't read through these obscure and boring ancient books.He just stood there and read out the words that Jina said in his mind.

He read for about a quarter of an hour, without a single pause after four or five thousand words.

Within the Sea of ​​Consciousness, Ji Shengzi sat cross-legged quietly with his eyes closed, only his lips kept opening and closing, and the sound of the ancient well without waves actually didn't stop.

Not only did it stop, Ziwei Shengzi's speech speed became faster and faster.Fang Zhiyuan's mouth was parched, and he no longer knew what the words he said meant.

The face of Bai Junyan on the opposite side is getting weirder and weirder, so he can only bite the bullet and continue, "...the husband who cultivates immortals leads the Qing of Liuhe into the Yang body, guards the inner core and seals Yuanyang to invite the harmony between heaven and man One reason is that evil cannot be threatened..."

Among the surrounding students, some people began to hold their breath nervously.

Bai Junyan tried to speak a few times but couldn't get in, because he gradually couldn't understand the book that Fang Zhiyuan had recited.

He even heard a few words that he was familiar with but didn't understand sporadically. They were esoteric concepts that were only mentioned in the debates between the doctors in the academy...

Until Fang Zhiyuan's throat started to hurt from reading, his patience was worn out, and he was so angry that he scolded Ziwei in the sea of ​​consciousness: "Are you addicted? How long are you going to read the scriptures!?"

"...Huh?" Jina came back to her senses and said blankly, "I've only memorized less than half of it."

When Fang Zhiyuan stopped speaking, countless people let out a sigh of relief at the same time.

Yuan Ziyi wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, rubbed his arms through his sleeves, and said in shock, "There are people beyond people, and there is heaven beyond the sky..."

Bai Junyan's expression changed a few times, and he managed to calm down: "Please...please ask."

Fang Zhiyuan closed his eyes for a while, as if he was deep in thought.

Bai Junyan moved his Adam's apple, his face turned blue.

A playful smile appeared on Fang Zhiyuan's lips, and he said quietly: "Please enlighten me. The No. 70 three star trails on the Tiandao star map, the 130th seventh star from the northwest, which one of the five elements does it belong to?"

Bai Junyan was dumbfounded.

His cheeks twitched, and he asked unwillingly, "What...what?"

The students in the audience were also dumbfounded.

Some students were dizzy, wanting to cry but dragging the person beside them: "Brother, why am I a bit confused... Which disciple is this debate on stage today?"

--star map?star track?God, who else can ask this kind of question except Ziwei Pavilion disciples!

But Fang Zhiyuan, isn't he a scourge that Ziwei Pavilion regards as a great disaster?How could he have learned the astrology knowledge of Ziwei Pavilion?

With sharp sarcasm in the corners of Fang Zhiyuan's eyes and brows, he said leisurely: "It belongs to wood. You don't know how to do it, so I'll tell you. If you don't believe me, just send a summons to ask."

Bai Junyan's face was red and his ears were red. He turned his sleeves and turned back in anger, and shouted at the juniors who came with him: "Go! Write down the question and ask the great elder of Ziwei Pavilion!"

After a while, the student returned, wiped his sweat and reported that what Fang Zhiyuan said was correct.

Bai Junyan took the initiative to say that the scope of the debate is not limited, but now he is shooting himself in the foot, gnashing his teeth with hatred.

"Please enlighten me! All living beings in the world are mortal. If you want to go against the sky and seek longevity, you must go through the thunder and thunder disaster. This is common sense. Only the demon king Phoenix family has lived in the wilderness of the Western Regions for generations. I have never been robbed by thunder, so why does Heaven favor the Phoenix family so much?"

Jina's reaction was quick, without a single ups and downs in his tone: "He's talking nonsense. The Nirvana Divine Fire that ignited in the demon core after the death of the phoenix is ​​their catastrophe. Even if there is no one in ten, how can it be considered that the way of heaven favors four characters?"

Fang Zhiyuan repeated as he said.Under the Dao Discussion Platform, the students of the academy were fascinated by what they heard, and they couldn't help discussing with each other:

"That's how it is!"

"Nirvana Divine Flame actually ignited from the Phoenix's demon core?"

"I never knew..."

Bai Junyan's face was as dead ashes.

Fang Zhiyuan secretly said to Jina: "It's your turn...cough, it's my turn, you can ask again."

It's really embarrassing to help an unlearned and inexperienced star cheat, Jina couldn't get over the hurdle in his heart, and reluctantly lowered his face: "...Didn't Lin Lingqing wake up and call your senior brother too?" Ask one."

Naturally, there are restrictions on the platform, which is a universal magic weapon for prohibiting all communication.However, while Jina has a master-servant contract with Fang Zhiyuan, his soul is imprisoned by Lin Lingqing, just like a bridge, even the restraint of the academy can't do anything about it.

Fang Zhiyuan then said interestingly: "Then you ask him to ask."

Jina then turned to find the Demon Lord.

On the platform of the academy, Bai Junyan saw that Fang Zhiyuan had been silent for a long time, and suddenly there was a ray of hope resurgent in his heart.

Could he not ask any difficult questions?

That being the case, it seems that the question about the stars just now was nothing more than a bluff, a strange question that was jotted down temporarily!

……

Under the dark abyss thousands of miles away, there are white bones and quiet water, empty and quiet, and there is only one figure.

The Demon Lord lowered his eyes and smiled. He straightened his sleeves and said softly: "Okay, just ask. Then ask one..."

Before Fang Zhiyuan finished listening, he was already holding back a laugh.

He remembered that when he was a child, his senior brother played with him on this problem.

He glanced at the scholar opposite, and said, "Please enlighten me. People say that there are thousands of Taoism in the world, but it is a fallacy. In fact, there is only one Taoism in the world. What is the reason?"

The onlookers turned pale after hearing the words:

"what did he say?"

"There is only one way in the world?"

"Unheard of, so absurd!"

Instead of being angry, Bai Junyan was delighted, thinking that this person really has no skills, and started talking nonsense.

He spoke calmly, smoothed out the wrinkled sleeves just now, and said unhurriedly, "I'm sorry I can't answer this question."

"——If you talk about the Taoism in the world, there are thousands of thousands of endless. The way to cultivate immortals is to enter the Tao with swords, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, medicine, utensils, talismans, and even epiphany in dreams. Everything in the world is infinite. It's not Taoism!"

Bai Junyan stretched his arms, and said passionately: "My master has always taught students that asking immortals is a long way to go, and it is most forbidden to be rigid in vision! But the immortal said that there is only one way in the world? Hmph... I hope to hear the immortal's advice."

Fang Zhiyuan was fascinated by his phrase "the most taboo to be constrained by vision", thinking to himself: if one day, these passionate scholars realize that they are just low-level beings in the small fantasy world in the eyes of others, how will they react?

But before he finished thinking, Bai Junyan's provocative gaze had already pierced him.

In front of the real enemy, facing this kind of childish squabbling, Fang Zhiyuan was somewhat dispirited, and said calmly without even raising his eyes:

"Tao gives birth to all things, and Taoism evolves from Tao, isn't it?"

Bai Junyan said: "That's right. There are countless ways of cultivating immortals in my generation, and they will all come down to one great way. That is the original principle that only ascended true immortals can get a glimpse of."

Fang Zhiyuan continued to ask: "If there are infinitely many Taoisms, then there are either similarities or differences between Taoisms and Taoisms, right or wrong?"

This question is very nonsense, the same and different are a pair of antonyms, destined to be either this or that.

Bai Junyan couldn't think much about it, so he frowned and said, "Of course."

Fang Zhiyuan raised the end of his eyes, and those pupils shone in the sunlight, their color was so dark that it was a little creepy.

He said: "If all Taoisms are the same, then they can be classified as one Taoism."

He also said: "If all kinds of Taoisms are different, if they disagree, they will be contradictory, but all Taoisms will belong to the same Dao, just like the tributaries of a river merge into the main stream. Well, then, how can the branches of the same Dao Contradict yourself with yourself?"

"Therefore, there is no contradiction among all kinds of Taoism."

"And only things that are exactly the same are free from contradictions."

"So, there is only one Taoism in the world, isn't it?"

"???"

After hearing this, the faces of all the students in the audience were full of confusion.

Bai Junyan almost popped his eyes out.

Jina, who was helping to convey the message in the sea of ​​consciousness, was also confused. The Holy Son bowed and held his head, "What? Why?...Why did this happen?"

Lin Lingqing smiled without saying a word.

Fang Zhiyuan was not surprised, raised his eyebrows and said: "Don't pay attention to him. It's up to him to talk to him - when we were young, even our master didn't dare to listen to my elder brother's nonsense."
