Chapter 1764 Testing each other
Dong Rui looked as he was told, but saw another "Dong Rui" standing a few feet away, also holding a lotus on the offering table, looking at him in surprise!
What surprised him the most was that He Lingchuan and the ghost ape were standing next to this "Dong Rui".
The dead monkey was still pointing at him and chattering!
He could understand the ghost ape's words:
"Another master, the master in the mirror moves!"
What the hell! He was horrified and looked around, only to find that there was no He Lingchuan or ghost ape beside him!
Qian Huan asked him: "Now do you think you are real or an illusion?"
The source of the sound was wrong.
Dong Rui looked again and saw that Qian Huan was actually standing next to He Lingchuan, several feet away from him.
They, they all seemed to be standing in front of an invisible mirror, standing in a row, looking at him in the mirror!
"I..." He opened his mouth, but couldn't find the next words within two seconds. "I, of course I'm telling the truth!"
However, He Lingchuan still had a look of realization on his face, pointed at him and said something very meaningful:
“When truth becomes false, falsehood becomes true.”
Dong Rui was horrified: "Hey, don't do this!"
Still not a good teammate?
Qian Huan asked him, "Now you can't find the mirror, so the only one left to distinguish between truth and illusion is you. Consciousness is truth, and unconsciousness is illusion, right?"
The mirror that served as a reference is gone. If Dong Rui wants to distinguish between reality and illusion, he can only look for the next reference.
The harder it is to find and the more abstract this reference is, the harder it is for people to make accurate judgments.
“Right…” Dong Rui suddenly shuddered and quickly waved his hands, “No more playing, no more playing, don’t mess up my consciousness!”
The reference point now is his "consciousness". If this great mirage fairy runs into his mind and messes things up, making him unable to distinguish between reality and fantasy, wouldn't he be ruined?
Qian Huan walked straight in front of him, took the lotus from his hand, and put it back into the bottle: "Okay, that's enough."
Dong Rui's shoulders sank. It turned out that the ghost ape jumped onto his shoulder and sat on it. It bared its teeth and made a face at him, making him want to punch it in the face.
When I turned around, He Lingchuan was beside me.
Dong Rui let out a long sigh and felt relieved.
He stretched his neck to look behind Qian Huan, but there was nothing there.
This is what it means when someone puts away their magic.
"Illusions are not necessarily simple tricks to deceive the eyes." Qian Huan said calmly, "Blurring the boundaries between truth and illusion will confuse truth and illusion themselves."
What is the boundary? The boundary is the fulcrum, the fulcrum for judging the truth and illusion. If it is taken away or blurred, who can still tell what is real and what is illusion? He Lingchuan thought thoughtfully: "The boundary that the Immortal Venerable mentioned is actually the rule, right? If you want to turn illusion into reality, at least make the rules between illusion and reality become blurred."
Qian Huan looked at him, somewhat surprised.
"A little bit close. At your age, you can actually figure this out?"
It was rare for his words to contain even a hint of approval.
He Lingchuan lied: "It was just a flash of inspiration."
In fact, he thought of the Panlong World.
Why do we say that world is illusory? According to Qian Huan’s theory, the Dafang pot itself is the boundary. The outside of the pot is real, and the inside of the pot is illusory.
in case……
He Lingchuan's heart beat faster. What if the boundary of the Dafanghu became blurred?
If it is impossible to tell the inside and outside of the pot apart, then is it possible for the Panlong world and the real world to be "confused" and merged with each other?
When he thought of this, the haze in his heart disappeared and all his thoughts seemed to become clear.
"It seems that the Immortal Venerable's sixty years of seclusion have been very effective." He Lingchuan clasped his fists and saluted Qian Huan, with joy on his face from the bottom of his heart, "Congratulations!"
People who didn't know the truth would think that he was sincerely congratulating Qian Huan.
"If you want to go further from the top of the pole, there will be a thousand difficulties and obstacles." Qian Huan said dimly, "One day when you reach my level of cultivation, you will know that human power is limited, but the mysteries of heaven and earth are endless."
"Can't the Dayan Dzi Pearl help the Immortal Master achieve enlightenment?"
Qian Huan sneered: "One or two treasures can allow you to peek into the avenue? How can it be that easy?"
He then asked He Lingchuan: "Who is your master?"
"If you have never had a proper master, you can either figure it out on your own or practice in the army."
Qian Huan walked towards the sand table: "In the army? After the Middle Ages, practitioners began to advocate the use of martial arts to enter the Tao and killing to prove the Tao because it is quick to achieve success. However, in ancient times, this method was the most undesirable because it would lead to the sin of killing and confusion, and the retribution of karma would be entangled, making it difficult to have a good end."
His meaning was very clear. In the late Middle Ages, practitioners had limited progress and could choose to enter the Dao through martial arts. However, in an environment where the spiritual energy of heaven and earth was abundant and the upper limit of cultivation was raised, this path was no longer suitable.
He Lingchuan subconsciously looked at the sand table. Using killing to prove his truth would lead to karma, but what about destroying all the creatures on the island with a flip of his hand? Wouldn't that mean there would be no karma?
Or does it mean that disciples should do the hard work when there is something to do?
This time it was Qian Huan who took the initiative to say, "I seem to see a bit of my old friend's style in you."
"Oh?" He Lingchuan asked curiously, "Which old friend?"
"Neither a demon nor an immortal." Qian Huan said leisurely, "Have you heard of 'Red General' or Panlong City?"
He Lingchuan's heartbeat immediately quickened. He never expected that General Hong would be mentioned in this way on this occasion.
But he is so thick-skinned that he can remain calm even when a mountain collapses in front of him:
"I've heard of her. She was a rare general more than a hundred years ago, and a small town that fought against Bega until the last moment. The Immortal Venerable was in charge of Lingshan at that time, right? How come you have seen her?"
"It's hard to predict what will happen." Qian Huan asked him, "You said before, where are you from?"
"Yangshan Islands."
Qian Huan's eyes were as sharp as torches: "No, where are you from?"
"It's in the Panlong Desert. I grew up listening to the stories of Panlong City." He Lingchuan didn't think there was anything to hide. Qian Huan wouldn't suddenly be interested in a "little person" like him unless he found some clues, such as the fact that he could take away the Haoyuan Golden Mirror, which meant that there was a hidden power behind him that was enough to destroy the "laws" of the small cave heaven.
He Lingchuan even suspected that the token bell that Lingshan asked him to bring contained certain information in its tone, and it was very likely to mention He Lingchuan's own information.
Otherwise, Lingshan itself is full of talented people, so why did Wang Xingyi insist on asking He Lingchuan to find the Upside-Down Sea?
Lingshan knew He Lingchuan's secret and knew that he was closely connected to the Dafanghu. Now, Qianhuan also knew it, right?
If that's the case, Lingshan had no good intentions in sending him here.
He Lingchuan was not angry when he thought of this.
It doesn't matter. He has had ill intentions towards Master Qianhuan for a long time, so he has to allow others to reciprocate.
Besides, he has always suspected that Master Qianhuan has some connection with the historical Panlong City. Therefore, Master Qianhuan, who was in charge of Lingshan more than 150 years ago, is likely to be particularly concerned about people and things related to Panlong City and Dafanghu.
