Chapter 128: Inner Cave Heaven, Taihua Pure Yang
"There has been no human habitation for hundreds of years?!"
Zhou Heng looked at You Ziheng in disbelief, shook his head and said, "No, that's impossible. I came back once in May, and it's only been less than two months since then."
"Do the people in this village have much communication with the outside world?" You Ziheng asked.
"There will be some exchanges." Zhou Heng shook his head and said, "Although most people in the village are self-sufficient by farming at home and hunting and gathering in the mountains, they still go to nearby towns to buy and sell some things."
"In this case... let's re-walk the route you usually take between here and Huangtong Fucheng." You Ziheng said.
"Okay." Zhou Heng nodded, turned around after confirming the direction, but after taking a few steps, he stopped and said with a bitter smile: "There are no roads in the mountains anymore."
"You said, I will open the way in front." You Ziheng was very decisive.
"Thank you, senior." Zhou Heng thanked him sincerely.
Now his heart was full of doubts, and he wanted to find out what was going on. Why did the place where he was after traveling through time disappear out of thin air?
Does this have something to do with my own time travel?
Why did I travel from earth to such a world?
Or just pure coincidence?
…
Two and a half years ago.
Zhou Heng is still a senior student on earth. He likes to play games, read novels, or think about whether he should try to pursue a girl from elementary school after being single for so many years.
But one day when he woke up, he found that he had come to a strange world and became the son of the Zhou family and his wife in an unknown mountain village.
A boy who is only seventeen years old.
This young man has no serious name, he is called Zhou Gou Sheng.
Zhou Gou Sheng's original life was very simple and monotonous. Apart from eating, drinking, drinking, farming at home and hunting, there was almost nothing else.
The memory of seventeen years is like a blank.
This allowed Zhou Heng to easily integrate his memories.
But it is precisely because Zhou Gou's remaining memories are almost blank, so even if Zhou Heng merges those memories, he is still essentially a pure earthling.
It is almost crazy for a Chinese who is accustomed to the Internet, various electronic products, and many modern infrastructures to come to a strange and almost primitive mountain village.
Moreover, there are Zhou Heng's biological parents on the earth. They talk to Zhou Heng on the phone every weekend, asking for help and caring.
Now that he has traveled to this world, what will his parents do on earth?
They will definitely be very sad and sad...
Such thoughts once drove Zhou Heng almost crazy. He couldn't sleep or eat all night long. He thought about returning to Earth all the time, but reason told him that it was almost impossible.
Zhou Gou Sheng's parents discovered something strange about their son.
They are all rough people who make a living in the mountains. They don't understand any big principles and have very simple ideas. They feel that the reason why their son has become abnormal recently is because he dislikes the taste of food in the mountains.
As a result, they began to work harder. The father went to the mountains to hunt and skin the animals, and the mother weaved day and night in order to sell them in the towns outside the mountains in exchange for money to buy clothes in the city. Give Zhou Heng something delicious to eat.
Such meticulous care allowed Zhou Heng to gradually shake off his crazy and despairing emotions. He began to adjust his mentality, worked hard to assume his current role, and began to try to take parents in this world seriously.
Life just calmed down.
It wasn't until one day half a year later that Zhou Heng saw someone flying in the sky, and the aftermath of the battle turned the mountain peaks into powder. Only then did he finally realize that there really are powerful gods-like beings in this world!
He wants to learn martial arts, want to practice, wants to become stronger, and wants to figure out why he traveled to such a world.
His parents agreed unconditionally and took out most of their savings to send him to the martial arts gym in Huangtong Fucheng.
This is how Zhou Heng is now.
Although in Zhou Heng's heart, his real parents have always been his parents on earth, the parents in this world also hold a lot of weight in his heart.
This is the weight of various emotions such as gratitude, responsibility, and guilt intertwined.
Zhou Heng has made up his mind that since he can't go back to Earth, he will treat his parents in this world well and let them live a safe, prosperous and carefree life.
But now, his parents in this world, along with everyone in the entire mountain village, and even the mountain village itself, have disappeared out of thin air.
This really gave him the urge to point his fingers at the sky and scream.
what happened? ?
…
You Ziheng was in front and opened the path as Zhou Heng pointed out, and the two of them moved very fast.
It didn't take long to get out of the mountain.
Came to a nearby town.
Zhou Heng asked the people here if they had any impressions of the villages in the mountains.
After all, many people from the village used to come to this town to sell things and buy some things.
The answers that can be obtained are all without exception - Where are there any villages in the mountains here?
No one remembers it.
It was as if Zhou Heng was the only one who knew that mountain village, as if it existed only in Zhou Heng's mind.
"How could this happen??" Zhou Heng was completely confused.
"I roughly know what's going on." You Ziheng suddenly spoke.
"Senior, do you know?" Zhou Heng said in surprise.
"There are some speculations." You Ziheng said: "Actually, there are similar situations in folklore in many places, and there are detailed records in the Chunyang Palace's classics.
"The mountain village you are in now is probably a 'miniature world' created by a heavenly being who has retreated into Taoism to prevent himself from being 'Taoized', by unfolding his inner cave and embedding it into the real space. "
"What?" Zhou Heng didn't understand. There were a lot of professional vocabulary.
"That's right..." You Ziheng explained patiently.
Heavenly beings place their souls in the void, thus gaining near-indestructible characteristics. They can also use this to obtain the spiritual power of the great avenue, become vast in supernatural powers, and even use this as a basis to develop a system that can interfere with or even distort the rules of the outside world. The inner scene of legal principles.
An interior cave sky is equivalent to a small world.
But it is precisely because the natural soul rests in the void and is close to the Dao, so one's own human will is inevitably eroded by the rules of the Dao.
If there is no resistance, human nature will become weaker and weaker, gradually become "Taoized", lose human emotions, and become a living dead who only acts in accordance with the rules of the Tao.
The way to resist is usually to walk around the world as an ordinary person, communicate more with others, and strengthen one's identity as a human being, so as to enhance one's own humanity and avoid being moralized.
However, when you are in seclusion and enlightenment, you are unable to come into contact with all kinds of things in the world, and the danger of Taoism will become greater.
So some heavenly beings and powerful beings came up with a solution.
That is to use your own inner cave to build a "miniature human world", and then embed the inner cave into reality and communicate with the "adult world" of the outside world. In this way, you can maintain your own humanity and avoid being "Taoist". change".
Under normal circumstances, if the heavenly being ends the retreat, this temporary "miniature human world" cave will be taken back into the body by the heavenly being. Although the people inside are still living a normal life, they are no longer in reality.
"Senior, do you mean that this mountain village where I once lived might be an inner cave created by a heavenly being?" Zhou Heng was stunned.
"That's not necessarily the case, but it's very possible." You Ziheng nodded.
"Then why did it last for a long time before suddenly disappearing recently?" Zhou Heng asked doubtfully, feeling a little more at ease at the same time.
If it is really the inner cave of a certain heavenly being, at least his parents in this world should still be alive, but not in the reality that ordinary people can perceive.
"Most likely it's because of you." You Ziheng sighed softly and said: "You are suspected of being the reincarnation of a great power, and this news has spread.
"No matter what the real situation is, whether anyone believes it or not, a deity who is in retreat to enlightenment will not risk exposing his retreat place to the reincarnation of a deity.
"That would be an uncertain danger for him. The best way is to put away the inner cave and find another place."
"Is it because of me?" Zhou Heng was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly: "Maybe it really is this reason... Then how should I find it?"
He originally thought that pretending to be a powerful reincarnation was a clever move that could reasonably explain why he could display so many incredibly powerful special skills, but he didn't expect that it would lead to this result.
"Normally speaking, the inner cave sky of the transfer location will inevitably be more secretive than before and difficult to find." You Ziheng said: "But there is a channel that often involves similar secret and strange things."
"What channel?" Zhou Heng asked.
"Zhoutian Xunjie Division." You Ziheng smiled and said: "The Five Emperors invited me decades ago and told me the rules of Zhoutian Xunjie Division. You don't have to be confused."
"Thank you, senior." Zhou Heng cupped his hands and said, "I have already made a decision in my heart."
"Okay." You Ziheng nodded gently and said, "Follow me back to Chunyang Palace first, and after you officially enter the palace, you can find the Five Emperors Inner Seat to join the Zhoutian Xunjie Division.
"Hey, everything has to come on a first-come, first-served basis. When the time comes, it will be my Chunyang Palace disciples who join the Zhoutian Xunjie Division, not the members of the Zhoutian Xunjie Division who join the Chunyang Palace."
After saying this, he summoned the white crane, flew into the sky with Zhou Heng, and left through the sky.
…
Taihua Mountain stretches for thousands of miles on the border of Qinzhou in the west of Daqi. When viewed from a high altitude, it looks like a dragon entrenched on the earth, which is breathtaking.
The "body" of this divine dragon is filled with layers of sea of clouds, intertwined with patches of golden light. These are the mountain-protecting formations of Taihua Mountain, and even the third level cannot forcefully break through.
You Ziheng and Zhou Heng came riding on a white crane. They did not pass the mountain gate, but fell directly from the sky. He made a magic spell, and the layers of clouds suddenly surged and separated to both sides like a curtain.
The majestic and magnificent peaks and palaces, the figures flying through the sea of clouds, and the strange flowers and trees... all came into Zhou Heng's eyes.
"Roar!"
At this moment, a huge wave suddenly rose from the surging sea of clouds not far away.
A strange beast with a dragon's head, a deer's body, an ox's tail and horse's hooves, and aqua-blue scales all over its body rushed out. It jumped on the sparkling water waves that appeared out of thin air and ran towards You Ziheng.
This strange beast was more than ten feet tall when it first appeared, but when it ran to You Ziheng's side, it had shrunk to the size of a palm, jumped directly onto the back of the white crane, and howled at You Ziheng.
It seemed like he was begging for something.
Zhou Heng was slightly in a daze. Is this the Immortal Sect that is free from the world?
