[Lotus Lantern] Free Sky

"Death and life are in harmony with each other, and you can talk about it. Hold your hand and grow old with you. When you are together, I will live. When you are happy, I will be happy. The ends of the world, the sky and the world, travel with you , know each other and cherish each other. The soul lives and the soul is silent, and we will never be separated again."

I don't know how many days have passed in the world, but Hongjun still stood in the big formation of heaven, staring at it for a long time, so long that he himself felt a little numb.He looked at the egg quietly floating in mid-air in the center of the formation, glowing with soft multicolored brilliance.The Heart of Chaos was sealed there.

Isn't this exactly the result he wanted?He finally gets what he wants.

But why does it feel empty?I clearly own the entire universe, the most honorable status and unrivaled power in the world, but why do I feel like I have nothing?Why so quiet?

Patriarch Hongjun suddenly felt that Zixiao Palace had never been so quiet as it is now, it was too quiet.Perhaps in the past, Lao Hongjun was so focused on sealing the heart of chaos that he never noticed it——when Zixiao Palace was the only one left, the palace was empty and silent.As the heart of chaos returned to the big formation, his obsession dissipated, and his heart suddenly became clearer than ever before in the Lingtai. This gradually calming heart will feel the silence around it.

In the past, there was Haotian Yaochi accompanying the palace. After they established the second generation of heaven, disciples in the palace often came to visit and pay respects. Now not only the disciples have not come for a long time, but even the five elders have left Well, the reason is naturally "With such a strong spiritual power and luck from the Heart of Chaos, there is no need to trouble them to send spiritual power to assist the Heavenly Dao formation." There is a certain law, there is a way of circulation, here is enough for the heart of chaos to run on its own, your Heavenly Dao formation is not an aid, but a tasteless one!" At that time, the ancestor Zixiao was really angry and wanted to argue with them In a few words, they have disappeared into nothingness.

Now, Ruo Da's Purple Night Palace is actually quiet, and he is alone, alone, like a ghost.He suddenly felt, what about the master of the universe?What about the joy that comes from this supreme honor?Congratulations?Where is my worship?What about people?Where have they all gone?Could this be the honor of the Lord of the universe?This honor can only be enjoyed by one person alone.What kind of honor is this?Hongjun walked out of the heavenly formation with a numb expression, and unknowingly returned to a side hall of Zixiao Palace.He seemed a little tired, habitually sitting in front of a desk at the top of the hall, resting his forehead with his hands.But inadvertently, he looked up and looked across.

I saw that Fuxi was sitting on the opposite side of him wantonly, playing chess, talking and laughing, his movements were flowing like clouds and flowing water, his expression was calm and casual, he was not respectful or disrespectful to him, he always seemed to be careless and casual And for.Just like his tail, he never showed the dragon's tail in front of the gods, but every time he came to his palace, he dressed casually, sitting opposite him in a silver and white plain robe and playing chess. Unknowingly revealing the outside of the robe, leisurely slapping the ground, it feels very peaceful, and sometimes even brings out a sense of naughty rhythm.Occasionally, the tail flicked indiscriminately unconsciously, knocking down the surrounding Changming palace lanterns or other household items. Fuxi just looked down at the chess game, turning a blind eye to the slight dissatisfaction in his eyes, but the overall atmosphere was so harmonious that Hong Jun cried so much that his heart was full, but he could only smile wryly again and again.Although there is no clear master-student status between them, in front of Fuxi, Hongjun's words and deeds have always regarded himself as a teacher, or in other words, he is also a teacher and a friend.As for Fuxi being a god king, Hongjun always babbled and babbled about Fuxi's casual attire and demeanor.Regarding this, Fuxi seemed to just play chess with his head down, and turned a deaf ear to it.But Hongjun still took the trouble, talking endlessly, and never stopped.Next time I come, I will wear the clothes as I want, and put the tail as I want.

"Congratulations!" The man seemed to be sitting across from him and congratulated him with a chatter and wind.

Why did you kill him yourself?How come this day?Hongjun seemed afraid to face these images and memories, and subconsciously left Zixiao Palace again, but felt that he had nowhere to go, and as he walked, at some point, he walked in the Great Formation of Heaven again.

Not far away, the chaotic membrane crystal shining with multicolored divine light floated in the eyes of the formation, quietly, glowing with a soft and incomparably sacred brilliance.That brilliance seems to have never changed.

Hongjun looked at it for a long, long time, and the egg remained silent for a long, long time.

"Fuxi, speak up."

The egg is still quietly, silent, glowing with a soft light, without any reaction.

"Speak!" Hongjun almost roared, sternly, and said sharply.

Finally, Dan had a slight reaction, and a long-lost clear and warm voice came out from inside, very light, very light, as light as an ethereal cloud, making it impossible to determine where the sound came from, as if it came from outside the sky.

"What do you want me to say?"

"I—" Hongjun was speechless.So, have they reached the point where they have nothing to say?may be.

The egg seemed to sigh softly, and the silence returned, and Hongjun also became silent, as if he had become a statue, and became more numb.He just stood there with his hair messed up, looking like a madman.

I don't know how long I stood there.Maybe it's a few years in the lower realm, maybe it's hundreds of years.

It was like this when Lu Ya came to visit.Hongjun seemed to have become a weathered statue except for the glowing eyes.

"Now, you've got everything, are you satisfied?"

"Lu Ya, are you here to laugh at me?"

"What can I laugh at you for?"

"This--"

"Hongjun, do you--do you regret it?" Lu Ya stood side by side in the Heavenly Dao Formation with his hands behind his back, his gaze was empty, and he looked at the Heart of Chaos that was still shining in his sight.

"No regrets. He has become a human being. With human thoughts and feelings, one mistake will mess up the fate of the heavens carefully arranged by me. The heart of chaos should stay in the heavenly array and seek life for all living beings. , both rain and dew."

"What a high-sounding statement. What if I say that all this is just a dream?"

"Dream? Hehe, what are you kidding?" Fuxi's being locked into the chaotic membrane crystal was a dream. Did all this happen?

"Hongjun is a non-existent character, everything is illusory. All creatures, in fact, are just a dream. This is the dream world of the heart of chaos."

Patriarch Hongjun glanced sideways at Daoist Lu Ya, smiled, and said, "Do you think I'm a three-year-old child?"

"I just can't bear to see you trying so hard for a dream. It's a joke. His dream is too deep and too long. He can only wake up if it ends as soon as possible, otherwise No. 18 Chaos will never be able to recover." start."

"Hmph, is that so? Then——, is Nuwa real or fake?"

"Really, but Nuwa is called Nuwa in this dream. Nuwa was called Jiuxuan in her previous life. She is my own sister. The Heart of Chaos is her toy, and of course she is also a good friend. When foreign enemies invaded, she died protecting her egg, and her soul died forever. .In this life, to commemorate her, I will name the Golden Phoenix as the Nine Heavens Profound Girl. This dream was originally made for her, and she has no body, so this dream world is specially created for her. I only hope that the dream will wake her up."

"Where is Hongyun?" Lao Hongjun asked with interest.It seemed that he didn't believe what Lu Ya said at all, and he just laughed and cooperated with him to finish the lie and tell it satisfactorily.He thought it was just that Lu Ya wanted to trick him.

"Hongyun is the eye of a dream. Once Hongyun really dies, this dream should end. Everything will disappear and cease to exist."

"What about Pangu? Could it be that he is also illusory?"

"Pangu is still sleeping with eggs in his arms" This sentence is concise and clear, Lu Ya said in a positive tone.

After saying this, Lu Ya's eyes were full of sympathy and sadness.

"Do you think I'll believe it?"

"Look carefully at the thousands of creatures in this heavenly formation."

Following Luya's guidance, Hongjun went to see the Great Formation of Heavenly Dao, but saw that the formation was empty, and the thousands of living beings were all illusions, as if they would disappear at any time.

"What is your purpose?"

"You'd better bless Hongyun's life to live longer and be more comfortable, otherwise all the creatures in the dream will disappear. Including you, and your Heavenly Dao Array!" Lu Ya warned, pointing at Hongjun's nose.After speaking, he left without looking back.

"Hahaha, it's impossible, it's absolutely impossible, Lu Ya, you just want to keep Hongyun. I don't believe it, it's not real. I'm not a dream, I'm not—" Looking at Lu Ya's back resolutely going away, There seems to have been a slight but fatal change in some originally firm beliefs, just like an ant is tearing up a thousand-mile dam, and slowly more ants are tearing up, and the small hole gradually becomes a big hole,

No matter how big,

No matter how big,

It has been slowly and quietly expanding.Hongjun sat down beside the formation.

"Is this really the dream world of Chaos Heart? Am I a person in a dream? Such a world doesn't exist at all? My God! No—" Then, after all these years, I have worked so hard. for what?for what? "This is not a dream, this must not be a dream, Lu Ya is lying to me, it must be—"

He held his head, unwilling to accept the fact.He struggled in his heart for a long time, and finally, he looked up at the sky, as if he had an epiphany.

Could it be that everything is nothing.

What is true?Which is false?Is the dream real?Or, is reality an illusion?Or like the dream he cast on Primordial Heart, he was also intimidated into the dream by others?Everything experienced in the dream is real, so is the real self awake now, or dreaming?Is the world in the dream real, or is the world outside the dream real?Also, is the self outside the dream real?Does the real body exist?Are you a dream, or is your dream your own?Are you in someone else's dream, or in your own?Which one is the real self?Dream is real?Or is it real?

If Fuxi's demise fulfilled his supreme existence in the universe and his loneliness in the unbearably cold heights, then Lu Ya's words would directly turn everything into nothingness.His painstaking efforts, his hard work, and his despicableness when he dealt with Fuxi, his painstaking efforts for so many years, just like this disappeared in an instant and disappeared?It turned out that everything was empty.

Hehe, there's nothing left...

Nothing.

In the dark sea of ​​blood, in the endless abyss, a middle-aged man in a black robe with long hair reaching the ground, his body surrounded by black air, is holding a scroll of jade slips in his hand and looking at them. On the back of the jade slips are two golden characters: Tiangui.There are three small characters below, Demon Realm Chapter.

He sighed, "It's a pity that my daughter didn't catch up with the good time." Then he became harsh, "Hongjun, one day I will go out, tear you up, and avenge my daughter." Entering Zixiao Palace, but because Hongjun cast a spell in his sea of ​​consciousness in advance, he was sent back here in a blink of an eye. At this time, he could only grit his teeth, but he was powerless.However, if you can meet the owner of this jade slip, you must have a good chat with him.It is really unreasonable that the rules of heaven in the three realms have all been governed by the devil realm.This guy dares to say that gods and demons are equal, and this is an act of braving the three worlds, so you have to make friends with each other, right?I really look forward to it! ! ! ! !
