Chapter 203 Real Dream

Xu Yue looked at the scene in front of him, frowned slightly, glanced at Lin Chen, and felt something was wrong, but he didn't know what was wrong.

The old Taoist smiled slightly, raised the freshly brewed green tea on the table, slowly poured it into three teacups, and said with a smile: "Please."

Lin Chen nodded, smiled slightly, walked over and sat down.

Xu Yue was slightly stunned, but still walked over.

"According to the report of my disciples, there should be three friends coming to the Taoist sect, why don't you see one of them?" The old Taoist stroked his white beard and smiled.

"I left him at the foot of the mountain." Lin Chen said casually, raised the teacup with his hand, took a sip, and couldn't help but sigh, "The Taoist priest is really good."

"My friend, you are too kind, how can I compare to you?" The old Taoist priest shook his head when he heard this, "It can actually completely change a person's soul. This method is really unheard of for me, the old Taoist priest."

"The Taoist priest is not bad." Lin Chen put down the teacup in his hand and looked around, "It actually used the memory in the Yuanshen and the concept collection in the Consciousness to build a world that seems true but not true, and seems false but not false."

"No, what are you talking about?" Xu Yue on the side couldn't help asking.

Lin Chen glanced at him and said, "Your purpose of coming here is not only to unite, but also to discuss immortal methods. In this case, why not try it now?"

"This..." Xu Yue was stunned, looked at the old Taoist priest, and found that the latter also nodded. He couldn't help but clasped his fists and said, "In this case, then I will show my ugliness."

The next moment, the surging and turbulent Gangqi, like tidal waves, swept through his body layer by layer, and then turned into a huge Gangqi hand, grabbing the old Taoist priest fiercely!

"Master, be careful of my move, but... huh?!" Xu Yue wanted to remind him, but the next moment, his pupils suddenly shrank.

His Gangqi hand grabbed down, and he could kill the innate warriors at will and break the thousand-man army formation. He originally thought that the other party would have to work hard to resist.

But Xu Yue never thought that the Gangqi hand would dissipate directly before the old Taoist priest died, and turned into a wisp of breeze.

"What a joke?!" Xu Yue's face changed when he saw this, and an incredible look appeared.

"No matter how powerful you are, it is impossible for you to dissolve my Qi hand at any time... Wait!" Xu Yue looked around and seemed to understand something, "I understand, the problem is not me, but here..."

"Here... should not be the real world!"

"My friend is really sensitive." The old Taoist nodded approvingly, "This is not the real world, but a dream!"

"Dream?" Xu Yue frowned and asked in confusion, "The Taoist sect uses the method of entering dreams to invite immortals. I have always heard of it, but how can it construct such a real dream?"

"Since it has already appeared, there is no point in questioning it." Lin Chen smiled and looked at the old Taoist, "I really want to know how the Taoist priest got out of this road?"

"This road..." After hearing this, the old Taoist raised his forehead slightly, and his eyes seemed to recall a moment in the past.

"Ten years ago, since the immortal taught me the Dharma in my dream, I gradually realized that this world, life, is ultimately nothing but a dream."

After hearing this, Xu Die couldn't help but say, "Reality is reality, life is life, how can it be confused with dreams?"

"Really?" The old Taoist smiled indifferently and asked, "What was it like when you woke up from your dream? Can you remember the memories in your dream?"

"This... I can remember it, but it's very vague." Xu Yue hesitated and replied.

"Then in your life, can you still recall your memories from more than ten years ago or even decades ago?"

"...I can only recall some important parts."

"When you wake up from a dream, you can only recall a few things. How many things can a person remember in his life? So do you think that life itself is like an illusory dream?"

Xu Yue was silent. After a long while, he said in a deep voice: "But at least the present is real, and everything you are experiencing now is real."

"Real?" The old Taoist smiled again and pointed around, "Then do you think everything now is real?"

"This..." Xu Yue hesitated for a while, and after a series of operations such as sensing, touching, and listening carefully, he was surprised to find that he could not sense that there was any illusion here.

"It feels exactly the same as reality, but you are in a dream now."

Xu Yue was silent for a long time, and then continued: "Dreams are dreams, dreams are fake, how can they be confused with reality?"

"Then how can you be sure that the real world is real, and not an illusory world constructed by your perception?" The old Taoist asked again.

"The real world is real, what's there to be confused about?" The more Xu Yue listened, the more confused he felt.

"That's not necessarily true." At this time, Lin Chen suddenly said on the side.

"Huh?!"

"We humans think that the real world is actually a world constructed by our own perception..." Lin Chen said softly.

"We cannot see the essence of things, and can only rely on our own perception to construct their information concepts. But if one day someone can inject corresponding information through all your perceptions and form everything in your subconscious concept, how can you be sure that this world is real?"

"For example." As he spoke, Lin Chen raised his right palm, and a twisted air suddenly appeared in the palm, and a little gold gradually expanded.

"Color." Either strong or bright gold, twisted in Lin Chen's hand.

"Shape." In the gold, the outline of a flower appeared, and there was no real clue.

"Weight." The golden flower fell into Lin Chen's palm.

"Texture." Lin Chen handed the flower to Xu Yue, and Xu Yue felt the almost real touch.

"Temperature." Xu Yue felt that the flower in his hand had a faint coolness.

"Smell." The breeze brought the fragrance of the petals.

"Taste." Lin Chen picked the petals and handed them to Xu Yue's mouth. He hesitated for a moment, opened his mouth, chewed carefully, and a bitter taste filled his tongue.

"This, this!" Xu Yue held the flower in his hand with an incredible look on his face.

"So we can never be sure whether the real reality exists or is obtained by our personal observation. Unless we can find the underlying laws of the real world to reverse it..." Lin Chen sighed softly.

In front of him, the old Taoist priest also looked at him in surprise, and his face became solemn: "Daoyou's understanding of dreams really exceeds my cognition. I just aggregated the perception of countless people on this thing to form the current dream..."

"But Daoyou can construct a nearly real illusion through his own understanding. You deserve to join my Taoist sect!"

"Forget it, I don't want to create a real dream, but want to explore the real world." Lin Chen shook his head and refused.

"But the real world may be the dream of a powerful person. What is there to explore? Maybe everything is someone else's layout. It's better to create a real dream that belongs to us!" The old Taoist priest hurriedly persuaded.

"Even if the real world is illusory, I am willing to keep exploring it, because for me, even if this world is illusory, there are still endless unknowns to explore, which is much more interesting than creating a small dream and being trapped in it." Lin Chen said with a smile.

"But..." The old Taoist wanted to say something else.

But before he could finish, he was interrupted by Lin Chen.

"It is my lifelong wish to use my limited life to pursue the endless unknown. I am willing to die on the way for this."

Lin Chen looked at the old Taoist priest and said word by word: "Master, for people like us, we can hear the truth in the morning and die in the evening. Why force others? You should know that if we have different paths, we will not make plans together."

Hearing this, the old Taoist priest was obviously stunned: "If you hear the truth in the morning, you can die in the evening. If you have different paths, you will not make plans together..."

He chewed these two sentences carefully for a long time, and then laughed: "Daoyou, you are right. If you have different paths, you will not make plans together. It is me who is obsessed with appearances!"

"Now we are all Taoist friends! We all have our own paths to follow. Even if we die nine times, we will not regret it. Now that we have the chance to meet, why should we drink tea? We should take the fairy wine and float a big white!"

Then, he waved his hand, and the scene in front of him changed, and the scene of the immortal ascending in Yunmengze ten years ago appeared!

The sky was full of flowers, the ground was full of golden lotus, and stars were descending, with jade buildings hanging in the air.

The old Taoist priest waved his hand again, and the next moment, they seemed to have entered the fairyland directly. The moonlight was cold, there were clouds and mist, and there was fairy music playing, which completely met the mortals' imagination of the fairyland!

"Please come to visit my Taoist fairy palace!"

Then, the figures of the three people disappeared directly in the jade building under the moonlight!
