Zhong Guanyuan is a god who serves Qing Emperor, and he is also the only Taoist who knows the existence of Yun Qing besides Qing Emperor. en8.
Before today, he had always thought that Emperor Qing's plan for Hundred Thousand Years was to stifle disasters like Yun Qing. Now he understood that if he really wanted to kill, Qingdi should have done it a hundred thousand years ago. Why build the world's orthodoxy for her fate-breaking act a hundred thousand years later, and overturn the world's orthodoxy just because she can control Tao chess? The reason why he went around in such a big circle was because he wanted to help her, but he couldn't escape from the rules of the gods.
Zhong Guanyuan looked at Yun Qing, while Yun Qing slowly stroked the ancient mirror in his hand.
All the gods around them seemed to be far away from them, and the existence of all surrounding materials was weakening and disappearing. This feeling was very subtle. It was clear that everything was disappearing, but Zhong Guanyuan didn't feel any suddenness. Everything happened as naturally as flowing water. This is the rule, this is the power of God, and it is the power of the Supreme Lord of the Gods. Soon, without realizing it, Zhong Guanyuan found that he and Yun Qing were the only ones left in front of Daoqi.
Yun Qing seemed a little surprised to see Zhong Guanyuan still standing in front of her. She tapped the ancient mirror and said: "The God of Si Shi... Taihao wants to keep you."
Taihao is the name of the Qing Emperor.
Zhong Guanyuan felt that he could not move or speak. Just like in the Palace of Farewell a hundred thousand years ago, he could only record in silence everything that was covered up by the turbulent years. This is his duty, and a gentle god like Qingdi always respects the duties of every god. He will never learn to refuse the peek of history, let alone erase Wenqu's records of all the mistakes he has made.
He used to put his disobedience to the way of heaven in front of Zhong Guanyuan, and let him write it down, not caring about the accusations and scorn of future generations. However, Zhong Guanyuan did not turn these records into "historical records". He was the god of history and books. He wrote the history books of the gods as a mortal, and then turned them into scripts in the eyes of mortals.
He saw Yun Qing tapping the ancient mirror again and calling Emperor Qing's name with a smile: "Tai Hao?"
What appeared in the mirror this time was no longer Gou Mang with a bird face but a human body, but an emperor dressed in blue feathers. He lowered his head and looked at the child, as silent and gentle as he had been a hundred thousand years ago.
Zhong Guanyuan closed his eyes and thought: I was careless, I should have noticed it long ago...
Any place where the gods have walked is the path of gods. When Yun Qing entered the Li Palace for the first time, she was separated from Song Liyou who was carrying the astrolabe. However, since there was only one passage in the divine realm, Amang took her into the Li Palace via the waterway. When Yun Qing went to the annex, she probably had already remembered many things. All she had to do was sit on the god's shoulder and let him walk in, and she would reach the annex no matter what.
There was no sparkle in Qingdi's eyes, but his expression was gentle and tolerant. He leaned slightly so that Yun Qing could easily reach the spiritual light between his eyebrows.
After the destruction of Shinto, all gods who stayed in the world had to sacrifice something, either their sanity or their strength. Zhong Guanyuan could not imagine what a god like Qingdi who was good at planning would become after losing his mind. Losing the dignity and wisdom of being born as a god, he became a beast in human form, trampled upon by others, and used his body to protect the child from wind and rain.
Yun Qing raised his hand and gently pressed it against Qing Emperor's forehead. The bright light dimmed instantly, as if he had been waiting for this moment for a hundred thousand years.
Zhong Guanyuan felt that such a scene was unreal, but as soon as he closed his eyes, more illusory scenes began to reappear in his mind.
—Would you like to be my mouthpiece? Are you willing to be my brothers and sisters
The emperor responded.
—Would you like to live for me? Are you willing to die for me
The emperor responded.
—Winter is too long.
The emperor is silent, the time sequence is reversed, the ice and snow melt, and the emperor's peach blossoms are in spring.
—Is it possible to perish
The emperor entered the situation and Shinto died.
Zhong Guanyuan opened his eyes in panic and saw the Qing Emperor dispersing into soft blue light spots and disappearing into the void. The feathered coat fell to the ground, and the extremely soft blue feathers fluttered like blue snow, and finally disappeared into the endless void.
Yun Qing was looking at him, half-smiling but not smiling: "Does it feel cruel?"
Zhong Guanyuan shook his head in his heart. Not only did he feel cruel, but he also felt a sense of fear. en8.
Yun Qing walked up to Dao Qi and had just swallowed Bi Luo. He had also swallowed Huang Quan before, and all the Dao traditions in his body after Xie Yao's death had also been put into Dao Qi. Now that everything is ready, she just needs to hold on to her son and play with the sky.
But Yun Qing didn't move. She sat on the edge of the pool just like many years ago, and said to Zhong Guanyuan with a smile: "Give me back everything you got from me. What's so cruel?"
Zhong Guanyuan was speechless.
Yun Qing scooped up the water in the pool and cleaned the blurred Jumang ancient mirror bit by bit. She said: "When Taihao found me, Wu Dao had just been defeated by the hands of Heaven. I was seriously injured in order to protect the Dao chess. Speaking of which, if it weren’t for this, I would never have been controlled by Tai Hao.”
Zhong Guanyuan saw her for the first time in the Farewell Palace. He had never heard Yun Qing talk about what happened before he was taken to the Farewell Palace by Emperor Qing.
But why did Yun Qing tell him a story at this time
"I also hope you will write down all this, write down this world from the beginning to the end." Yun Qing dipped her bare feet into the water. She smiled so innocently that she could hardly tell the passage of hundreds of thousands of years. " Then I’ll destroy it and build a new one.”
Zhong Guanyuan was silent. He was forced to remain silent, but he also had nothing to say.
"How do all things in the world come into being, do you know?" Yun Qing smiled at him, but before he could give a reply in her heart, she said, "One is born from two, two begets three, and three begets all things."
This is something that all practitioners know. If Yun Qing is really going to tell him some secrets, it will never stop there.
Sure enough, she then asked: "So, where does 'one' come from?"
The explanation given by the monastic community is very vague, that is, "Tao generates oneness." This is clearly nonsense. It comes from strict retrospection. Is there anything in the world that is not born from Tao
Without giving Zhong Guanyuan time to think, Yun Qing asked another question on his own: "The Way of Heaven is fifty, and the Dayan is forty-nine. The Way of Heaven is the regular evolution of the entire world, and the Dayan is the evolution of everything in the world. From the way of heaven to the Great Evolution, there is a flaw in it."
The Way of Heaven is fifty, the Great Evolution is forty-nine, from heaven and earth to all things, what is missing is "one".
Then "one" begets two, two begets three, and three begets all things.
Cause and effect are connected, an almost perfect explanation.
But why does the perfect heaven suddenly have such a gap as "one"
"Do you understand?" Yun Qing asked him gently, but Zhong Guanyuan had no clue.
Yun Qing waited for a while, shook his head and sighed: "The way of heaven was originally perfect, but I escaped, so it became unsatisfactory. And it is precisely because of my escape that all things evolve and life continues."
She is "One", and like Biluo Huangquan, she is no longer in Dayan, and she is separated from the existence of Daoqi.
Yun Qing calmly told him one earth-shaking secret after another: "I was also the one who stole the Tao seed and brought about the apocalypse."
Zhong Guanyuan was shocked and suddenly found that he could speak: "Why?"
Since she is part of the Heavenly Dao, why does she help the ascetics fight against the Heavenly Dao? Since she was going to help the ascetics fight against heaven, why did she cut down Biluo Huangquan and kill the last hope of the ascetics
"I did not help the cultivators fight against the Dao of Heaven, nor did I help the Dao of Heaven fight against the Dao of the Dao." Yun Qing maintained a calm and gentle smile, "Have you never thought about it? There is a third party in this world who hopes that both of you will be destroyed. Three parties.”
Zhong Guanyuan couldn't speak just now, but now he has no strength to speak. His legs are a little weak.
"Please note these things."
Yun Qing's words reminded Zhong Guanyuan of his responsibilities, and he realized why he was left here. He remembered that Yun Qing had always been a solitary person. Rather than letting the gods gather around to watch her various feats, she preferred to complete all of this quietly. But Qingdi chose to let Zhong Guanyuan stay, for the sake of records, for the end of one world and the beginning of another.
"It..." Yun Qing pointed to the sky, "It always wants to take me back."
"Everything in the world tends towards perfection, and nothing can tolerate imperfection, especially the Dao of Heaven. Compared to the behemoth of the Dao of Heaven, I am too weak, so I began to seek some support from Dayan. I will spread the seeds of the Dao Give it to mortals, let them understand the way of heaven, and let them desire the way of heaven. Well, yes, that is the world's first Taoism, the witchcraft."
Yun Qing splashed her eyes in boredom, and said: "Compared with the current Taoist traditions that have complete inheritance, Wu Tao is too immature. I spent a long time helping them. When I almost created Tao chess, and for When the Taoist chessmen gathered their pieces, I held the pieces for them to play the game of heaven. It was a success, the way of heaven had no defense against me, and I opened the way from entering the Tao to joining the Tao."
At this time, her layout had just begun.
"As you know, practitioners can start to steal the sky after they join the Tao." Yun Qing took his eyes out of the water pattern, looked at Zhong Guanyuan gently, and explained what happened next.
In this way, the ascetics can strengthen themselves while weakening the way of heaven. However, Yun Qing overestimated the ascetics, or in other words, the witchcraft at that time was indeed not mature enough. They didn't get far beyond the Way of Harmony, and the power they wrested from the Way of Heaven was negligible. At this time, there were already too many sky thieves in the world, and if they continued to increase, they would sooner or later be punished. There was no such thing as a saint at that time.
Zhong Guanyuan remembered every word she said and every subtle change in her expression. He murmured: "So you started your second game."
It is also the history of the development of the monastic world, but hearing it from Yun Qing's mouth is a completely different experience.
She began to prepare for the second Yi Tian, but before Yi Tian, the witchcraft triggered the divine punishment, and the witchcraft that she had carefully protected for countless years disappeared in the blink of an eye. The demise of Wu Dao this time directly affected her and Dao Qi. Yun Qing was not strong at that time. She had some characteristics of Tiandao, but she was far worse than Tiandao. She was seriously injured in order to protect Daoqi, and it was precisely because of Daoqi's survival that the Taoist seed was not completely returned to the way of heaven.
These Tao seeds spread again, and quickly developed into two great systems of gods and demons while Yun Qing was seriously injured and could not recover.
The master of the gods at that time was the Qing Emperor. When the way of gods and demons was flourishing, he saw that the way of gods and demons was destined to prosper and decline, so he began to look for countermeasures. He found the incomplete Daoqi and even found a way to bring back Yun Qing, who was staying near Daoqi to recover from his injuries.
"Tai Hao is a very admirable opponent."
When Yun Qing said this, Zhong Guanyuan thought she was mocking, but in fact her expression was very serious.
"The first thing he did after finding Daoqi was to find a way to put me back." Yun Qing smiled, with a cold look in his eyes, "This is the correct way to use Daoqi, compared to those that have been used for hundreds of thousands of years. Idiots who think Daoqi is used to fight against the Dao of Heaven, Taihao is really much more difficult to deal with.”
Yunqing is "one", which is the incomplete part of the way of heaven and the missing part of the way of heaven in the Great Evolution. As long as she is put back into the game, Tao chess can achieve true perfection. The perfect Dao chess fights against the imperfect Heaven's Dao. The era when the monastic world is controlled by the Heaven's Dao will be ended, but those tragedies of "returning Dao to Heaven" will not happen again.
Everything will return to the right track from the beginning, and everything in the world will live peacefully under the nurture of heaven, but will never be controlled by it.
Within Dayan, there are no disputes or conquests, only the freedom of spiritual beings.
"I didn't agree."
When Yun Qing said these words, Zhong Guanyuan almost fainted. After finding Yun Qing who was seriously injured and unable to resist, Emperor Qing politely asked her, "Do you want to go back to Daoqi?" How can you agree to this!
Zhong Guanyuan couldn't describe his feelings. It seemed that Qing Emperor had always been a little abnormal towards Yun Qing. He had already held her life in his hands and yet he wanted to let her go. He had laid a plan to kill her for a hundred thousand years and finally left a way out at his own expense. Qingdi was really crazy.
Zhong Guanyuan already knew what happened after that. Emperor Qing built the Palace of Farewell and hid Yun Qing and Dao Qi inside. What he thought about every day was how to enhance his emotions so as to persuade her to return to Dao Qi. But Yun Qing can't bear it anymore. The path between gods and demons is also heading towards the end of "returning Dao to heaven". She must get Dao chess back from Qing Emperor before that and break away from the bondage. She even thought about how to use these chess pieces to play against Tiandao after killing Huang Quan Biluo.
But Qing Emperor refused to let go, and Yun Qing felt that something was wrong with him. At that time, Qing Emperor was unwilling to let Yun Qing leave the Palace of Farewell even if he watched the Shinto disappear.
"The Qing Emperor was probably reluctant to part with it..." Zhong Guanyuan witnessed this period of history in the Palace of Farewells.
He remembered that everything the child asked for, Qingdi would do for her, and everything the child hated, Qingdi would destroy for her.
The child only said "Huang Quan Chengzi", and Qingdi personally entered the game and killed Huang Quan for her. Yun Qing tried to escape when he left the Palace of Farewell, but Dao Qi was suppressed by Qing Emperor's magical power, and she could not leave behind this important thing to her.
Zhong Guanyuan remembered that the Qing Emperor seemed to have been awake for a period of time after killing Huangquan. It was during this period that the punishment from heaven came.
Qingdi personally played chess with Tiandao and was defeated, but he used his great supernatural powers to protect Taoist chess and the gods of Shinto. Yun Qing was once again seriously injured and comatose due to damage to Daoqi. Emperor Qing did not try to put her back to Daoqi even at such a critical moment.
He maintained this sanity and did many far-sighted things.
He built the Yuntian Palace and told the chess attendants that if Yunqing tried to hold the piece, she would be pushed into Taoist chess.
At the same time, he built six other holy places. At that time, Emperor Qing had realized that Taoism could not be centralized and should be preserved in a more decentralized manner. He also came up with ways to cover the way of heaven and avoid punishment. He raised saints for each lineage and taught them to "live for the lineage and die for the lineage."
If these orthodox traditions continue to develop, they will definitely become stronger than ever in a hundred thousand years. At that time, if Yun Qing was classified as Taoist chess, it would be imperative for the ascetics to break through the control of heaven.
But Emperor Qing still had a way out in such a killing situation.
He used Tao chess to tamper with his fate, allowing Yun Qing to be protected by Yao Que Pagoda as Huang Quan. He left a sacrificial vessel in every Taoist tradition, and these sacrificial vessels were all attached with Yun Qing's memory and power. Each visit to a holy place could greatly shorten the time it took for her to recover from serious injuries. He felt it was not enough, so after doing all this, he destroyed his mind and forcibly connected himself with Yun Qing's life, hiding under Ju Mang's skin and being driven by her.
Even the last bit of wisdom was given to her as a chess piece.
"I still feel cruel." Zhong Guanyuan suddenly remembered what Yun Qing asked her in the first place.
"Really..." Yun Qing stood up from the edge of the pool. Zhong Guanyuan saw that the hem of her single dress had been soaked, and even the tips of her hair had a wet sheen, "Two hundred thousand years ago, I thought What I was thinking about was how to escape from the control of heaven. A hundred thousand years ago, what I was thinking about was how to escape from the Palace of Farewell. Now what I am thinking about is—"
She smiled at Zhong Guanyuan and stood on the edge of Tao chess. Her words stopped suddenly. Zhong Guanyuan saw her jumping down like a bird!
There was no ripple in the mighty heavenly path.
The most powerful Daoists so far have been thrown into Dao chess, Huang Quan has been thrown into Dao chess, Biluo has also been thrown into Dao chess, and even the "one" that has been missing since ancient times has returned to Dao chess.
The most powerful force since the Apocalypse has gathered together, and Tiandao, which has endured the plunder of practitioners for a hundred thousand years, begins to try to regain the part of the power that belongs to it. The way of heaven is in its weakest period. One is to bear the demands of all the ways. The other is that a large number of rules were occupied when the new world was first established. The "strongest" power of the ascetics collided with the "weakest" power of Heavenly Dao, and Heavenly Dao suffered backlash in the process of regaining "one".
In an instant, Zhong Guanyuan saw indescribable chaos rising between heaven and earth, covering the Tao and rules, and the birth, death, and prosperity of all things. He felt that his consciousness became sluggish, and finally he even lost consciousness of everything around him.
Everything seems to be back before the creation of the world. Not to mention the ascetics, even the rules of heaven do not exist.
And suddenly a little light came into being in this chaos.
The dark eyes opened, and the ruler who was born in the chaos wrote the first law for the new world of chaos with a calm and gentle gaze.
—The way of heaven is complete, and she is the way of heaven.
She will not make the same mistake as Tiandao. The ascetics can no longer get anything from Tiandao, and the world of cultivation is destroyed.
And the world that belonged to her began to undergo a real change.
All the Tao seeds in the world were taken back and replaced by spiritual roots controlled by the Holy Lord of Chaos. If you cannot enter the Tao, there will be no Tao seeds. Without the Tao seeds, you will not be able to see the rules, you will not be able to nurture the Tao body and bear the Tao fruits, let alone unite with the Tao. The world's right to explore the rules will be deprived of it, and the Chaos Lord replaces a powerful mind with powerful power. She divides her power tightly and controls it precisely, and every increase in power feeds back the way of heaven through her spiritual roots.
All the ways will perish and the world will be unified.
The prosperous age of Taoism is also the end of Taoism.
No one in this world can see the Tao anymore, but everyone in the world thinks that they are ascetics.
In the end, she is the only one who is above the blue clouds.
