Chapter 846: The Trio Begins Preaching
After wandering around the village for a long time, Shi Hao did not find any traces of Ye Fan and others.
Fortunately, he met Old Man Lin on the way.
After some inquiries, he learned that the three were now on the mountain and were talking with the master of Liu Village.
Senior Liu was even more kind to him, and he saved his life, not just once. The last time was when he was trying to break through the realm of Immortal King.
A drop of water should be repaid with a spring, not to mention such a great favor, so it is natural to be more grateful.
However, Shi Hao did not choose to go up the mountain rashly.
The three Taoist friends came to Liu Village as soon as possible, and they must have something important to discuss with Senior Liu.
Since they did not drag him along at that time, they must not want outsiders to know, so there was no need for him to go up.
And thanking them together would also make him seem insincere.
Shi Hao looked thoughtful, thinking about how to thank the three Taoist friends after meeting them.
At the same time, on the mountain.
Under the elegant and peaceful pavilion.
All around, there was silence, and the air seemed to be filled with a subtle sense of stagnation.
In the distance, the mountains were continuous, but they seemed to be shrouded in an invisible silence, and even the birdsong and the roar of the beasts disappeared.
Ye Fan, Henren, and Wu Shi secretly looked at each other, then quickly retracted their eyes and focused their gazes on the upright and relaxed figure not far in front of them.
But at the same time, they quickly lowered their heads, obviously not wanting the latter to see that they were observing each other.
This action was quite like a child who had made a mistake.
Several people knew that they were indeed wrong in this matter, and there was nothing to argue about. They just hoped that their image in the heart of the Lord of Liu Village would not become too bad.
"Three of you, don't you have anything to say to me?"
Jiang Huai sat on the stone bench, his eyes slowly swept over Ye Fan and the other two.
The slender fingers with distinct joints gently tapped on the stone table rhythmically, making a crisp sound, and the voice was indifferent.
"Fellow Daoist Jiang, this matter... is due to our lack of consideration!"
Ye Fan clasped his fists and wanted to force an explanation, but after thinking for a long time, he really couldn't think of a reason that could barely fool people, and he was never good at quibbling.
In order to prevent the image of himself and others from continuing to change, it is better to admit it openly, at least it makes him look neat and tidy. However, it is true that he is not good at quibbling, but he has to save some face.
"Lack of consideration... Never mind, I believe you, fortunately it didn't cause any big impact, I will not pursue this matter anymore."
Jiang Huai pretended to sigh deeply, then waved his hand and chose to give Ye Fan and others a way out.
What surprised the three people was that it seemed a little different from what they imagined.
I didn't expect that in the end, they were about to fight, and the Lord of Liu Village would forgive them so easily.
Lack of consideration... shouldn't it be more like an admission? !
As expected of being in the same era as Emperor Huang Tian, he is really bold.
"However, your behavior this time was indeed a bit excessive.
The importance of the Netherworld is far beyond your imagination.
If it weren't for me taking action and forcibly pulling you out of it, the consequences this time, even if you three are quasi-immortal emperors... I'm afraid you can't bear it."
Jiang Huai "generously" forgave the mistakes of Ye Fan and others, but it was impossible to really pretend that nothing happened, that would be too fake.
The three of them were silent.
"How about this, I have some geniuses under my command, and they are interested in the skills of the three Taoist friends. Why don't you take some time to give them some pointers..."
"The geniuses under Jiang Daoyou are extremely talented, and they are all rare dragons. Of course, they can give some pointers. How about this, three days later, we will open a forum in the village to spread the Dharma, how about it?!"
Ye Fan and others said.
They don't take their own Taoist traditions that seriously, and they hope to see their own Taoist traditions flourish.
After all, the foundation of themselves and others is also the human body secret realm system created by Emperor Huang Tian.
If everyone is guarding their own little piece of land, who is qualified to fight against the weirdness?
They would rather see that in the future, there will be more like-minded Taoist friends who can stand by their side and fight side by side with them, so that they are not alone in the Dao, rather than just a few familiar faces fighting and being exhausted.
"That would be better."
Opening the altar to spread the Dharma can benefit more disciples, so Jiang Huai is naturally more welcome.
Wu Shi, the worst of the three, was able to become an immortal emperor in the end.
This is because the other party died too early. If he was still alive, perhaps Ji Dao Realm could try to peek a little.
They are all the most powerful beings in the world.
At this time, Ye Fan suddenly said: "Fellow Daoist Jiang, I don't know if I should say something or not?"
He was a little hesitant to speak.
Logically speaking, people have forgiven their reckless behavior, and he shouldn't have made any more trouble, but considering the situation in the future, he had to say it.
"Fellow Daoist Ye, don't you want to ask why I set up such a restricted area in the village?" Jiang Huai said with a smile.
"That's right!"
Ye Fan nodded quickly: "In the netherworld, living souls are forbidden to enter, and dead souls are reborn. Brother Jiang, are you trying to create a true reincarnation with your own strength?"
"Also, there is a stone tablet beside the Yellow Springs Road. Why are the words recorded on it in seal script?"
"If I'm not mistaken, the seal script originated before Emperor Star Qin..."
In one breath, Ye Fan expressed all the doubts in his heart.
The Emperor Star is the Earth. It was named the Emperor Star and the Cradle of the Emperors because of the emergence of three great emperors in later generations.
Jiang Huai listened to Ye Fan's question and carefully thought about what those accomplished people were like when watching movies and TV series. Soon, the smile on his face faded and was replaced by a deep and dignified look.
He spoke slowly, his voice seemed to contain endless years and vicissitudes.
"Fellow Daoist Ye, the Netherworld Underworld you asked about is indeed not just something I set up on a whim. Behind it, it does contain my deep thoughts and understanding of the cycle of life and death.
Since ancient times, life and death are the end and beginning of all things, and reincarnation is the fate of all living beings. Life and death are supposed to coexist.
I am trying to explore the mystery between life and death through the underworld, to open up a path of reincarnation that truly belongs to all living beings, so that we can see each other, and we can embrace each other... This is my way. "
"this……"
Ye Fan pursed his lips and looked surprised.
The Lord of Willow Village created reincarnation, but his purpose seemed to be different from what he thought.
What is reincarnation?
Doesn't it mean that after a person dies, all memories of this life are erased, and he is reincarnated with a new appearance, identity, even gender, race...?
How is it possible that we can meet each other?
This doesn't seem to be the kind of reincarnation he imagined. If it is as conceived by the Lord of Yanagi Village, wouldn't the cause and effect in the middle be even more unimaginable? !
No wonder,
No wonder why later generations don’t have even a shred of information about Willow Village and its owner.
Even the Immortal Emperor could not bear such a huge cause and effect.
We must... organize the Lord of Willow Village.
Ye Fan pondered in his heart and made up his mind secretly.
He has seen the future, and reincarnation still does not exist. Not only did the Lord of Willow Village fail, but he may have also paid the price with his life. The entire Willow Village was forcibly wiped out of all traces by the vast power of cause and effect.
The price is too heavy!
But before Ye Fan could express his doubts, Jiang Huai's voice sounded again:
“As for the seal characters on the stone tablet you mentioned, they indeed come from the Emperor Star.
Before I opened up the Netherworld, I had traveled through all the heavens and worlds, and there were countless life stars in the world, and the Emperor Star was naturally among them.
Every type of writing is a manifestation of the world in which it exists. I chose seal script because it matches the atmosphere of the netherworld to a certain extent and can better carry and convey the mystery of the cycle of life and death.
This is not my personal preference, but my choice.
As for the names like Gate of Hell, Road to Hell, etc. that you have seen, different paths lead to the same destination. This is the truth, and it is the choice of the great road..."
Ye Fan suddenly realized that this was a disguised answer to another question he had not asked - why there was a ghost gate in the reincarnation created by the Lord of Willow Village, and the name of Huangquan Road belonged to the earth's myths and legends.
So that’s it…
It seemed that he was overthinking it.
"As for why you opened a reincarnation in the village, the reason is simpler, so that I can manage it directly."
Three questions have been answered.
There was no treatment on the mountain. After handling the matter, the three of them went down the mountain directly.
At this moment.
A light laugh sounded.
"Fellow Taoists!"
Shi Hao saw Ye Fan and others from a long distance away. His eyes lit up and he immediately came forward to greet them. At the same time, he did not forget to clasp his fists and shout.
Ye Fan and others who heard the sound turned around and also said:
"Fellow Taoist!"
Shi Hao's eyes first fell on Ye Fan, the leader.
The other party's face was still the same as when he fought with the Dark Quasi-Immortal Emperor that day, and his whole person was hazy and unknowable.
Even at such a close distance, he still couldn't see clearly what the other person looked like.
In fact, as he watched, even the other party's figure gradually became blurred.
There is an inexplicable force that prevents the two from appearing in the same time and space. Once one appears, the other will become blurred and undetectable.
Unless this bondage is broken, the other party will always be in this state in front of you.
If Shi Hao remembered correctly, he vaguely heard this person being called Emperor Ye Tian!
It feels strangely familiar,
And secretly,
Shi Hao felt that the other party had some inexplicable connection with himself.
It's just that he can't yet see what the connection between the two parties is.
When they first met, this feeling was not so obvious. Of course, this had something to do with the fact that the other party did not appear in person at that time, but only a bronze cauldron appeared.
In this way, the opponent's body reverses time and space and appears, and this mysterious feeling is extremely strong.
"Huang, you're here too..."
The ruthless emperor said calmly.
Judging from the tone, it seemed that Shi Hao had already known that Shi Hao would come to find them.
This is not a conclusion reached by deduction.
As long as you use your brain, you can guess it.
Shi Hao nodded slightly, and at the same time turned his gaze and landed on the ruthless emperor wearing a golden mask.
This is already the third time that the other party has rescued him.
The last time, before he became an immortal, the immortal king of a foreign land, Red King, noticed that he was extraordinary and wanted to do something to him through the years. At the critical moment, the other party arrived in a black ancient ship as time went by. Come here and save yourself.
Otherwise, it will definitely be a disaster that time.
"You have rescued me several times. Let's not talk about how to repay such kindness. At least we should thank you in person!" Shi Hao retracted his gaze. Although his eyes were clear and there was no distraction in them, the other party was of the opposite sex after all, and it was always impolite to look directly at him for too long.
Upon hearing this, the ruthless emperor just shook his head slightly, his voice calm and deep:
"You don't need to thank us. Everything we do is just to follow the destiny and maintain the balance of this world. In a sense, we saved you to save this world."
It was a very direct and straightforward answer.
The main reason was that they didn't want the Emperor Huang Tian, who would cut off the eternal world with a sword in the future and protect all races with his own strength, to definitely owe them a favor.
The Emperor Huang Tian, who was marching forward in adversity, didn't need this.
Wu Shi thought for a moment and added, "If you insist, we should thank you."
This is an ambiguous sentence. After saying it, Wu Shi stopped talking. He couldn't say that if it weren't for you, Emperor Huang Tian, who cut off the eternal sword, there wouldn't be people like us who came later...
If he continued to say this, it would definitely reveal the cause and effect.
It was originally a different time and space. If the cause and effect were involved, I'm afraid I would be directly excluded from this period of time.
Shi Hao said no more. He could feel that Wu Shi was hesitant to speak.
Perhaps, in the future, he did indirectly help the other party.
The gratitude has been brought, and there is no need to continue to entangle in this matter.
Wu Shi spoke, "Since we have met, why don't we have a drink together later?"
The monkey wine in the village tastes surprisingly good. It's not that he hasn't drunk monkey wine before, and he has even tasted more precious wines, but they are all a little bit short.
It's just the right excuse to go to the village to ask for a few jars.
It's not that he likes drinking, but he has been out for such a long time and has never had time to relax. Now that he has encountered a good wine that suits his appetite, he naturally wants to taste it again and again.
When Shi Hao heard this, a smile flashed in his eyes, and he nodded and said, "That's great. I also want to drink with you to express my gratitude."
The ruthless emperor and Ye Fan also nodded in agreement. The two are wine lovers, especially the ruthless emperor. For his brother, he drank to relieve his sorrow during that period of time. In addition, the fine wine in the village is indeed rare.
The next day.
Shi Hao went up the mountain alone and met Jiang Huai.
"Greetings to Senior Liu." Jiang Huai bowed his hands and showed respect from the bottom of his heart. "Thank you for saving my life, Senior Liu. If it weren't for Senior Liu's help, I would probably be dying now and no longer exist!" Shi Hao said sincerely.
Jiang Huai nodded slightly, without any false courtesy, and accepted Jiang Huai's courtesy.
For the future Emperor Huang Tian, his repeated actions were indeed a great favor.
"It is absolutely unprecedented to be able to enter the realm of Quasi-Immortal Emperor at this age, but your breakthrough has nothing to do with your own accumulated foundation. You should take some time to thoroughly consolidate this realm."
Jiang Huai spoke, his voice was calm and indifferent, but it contained a sense of majesty.
"Thank you, Senior Liu, for your advice. I will definitely keep it in mind!"
…
Three days later, the martial arts field in the village.
The dawn broke, and the morning glow reflected half of the sky, which made the place look golden and magnificent, as if covered with a layer of colorful wings.
At this moment.
The place was full of people.
Knowing that there was a Quasi-Immortal Emperor-level being giving a lecture, a group of Tianjiao in the village came here before dawn.
