Chapter 936 Goodbye Zhang Zong
Five months have passed, and Li Qi has no intention of ending.
Yao Ji slumped on the spot in boredom, looking as if she had no love for life. She was like a college student who had taken eight advanced mathematics classes in a row. She was in a trance and breathless.
But even so, it still reveals a graceful and lazy look.
There is no one to care about the spring scenery. Drinking wine beside the flowers depends on the depth. The peonies are red and fragrant, and there is no attitude at all. My whole body is full of sadness.
There was no way, Yao Ji's temperament and appearance were there, even if she was paralyzed, she could feel like a chaise longue, but Li Qi was busy studying the specific situation of the entire Shinto, so he didn't take a look at it at all.
So far, Li Qi hates Yao Ji more than any other feelings. In fact, he doesn't really want to stay with Yao Ji.
I think it's the same when Yao Ji looks at Li Qi. They have different paths, so they naturally dislike each other.
However, the next moment, Yao Ji suddenly sat up.
"Hey, you guys, don't you hate Sheshi? Why did you suddenly appear this time?" Yao Ji said to the air next to her.
A figure suddenly appeared in the air.
A word of green gauze, a hydrating Taoist robe, a silk ribbon, beautiful eyebrows, and a majestic appearance.
The person who came was none other than the Little Heavenly Master, Zhang Zong.
But now, it is obvious that he cannot be called the 'Little Heavenly Master'. This title is outdated.
Because he is already at the third level! He is no longer a disciple, but takes on his own role, becoming one of the faces of the new generation of Taoism!
"I hate it, but I still have to do what needs to be done. You can't really just sit back and ignore it, right? Besides, I have a very good relationship with Li Qi, so what's the difficulty in coming to help him this time?" Zhang Zong walked to Yao Ji's side with a smile.
Li Qi was busy observing. He just opened his eyes to show that he was aware of Zhang Zong's arrival, waved his hand to say hello, and continued working.
Zhang Zong also nodded to Li Qi, but he looked a little unhappy.
He thought that he had endured a lot of hardships and finally achieved perfection, surpassing Li Qi. But in the end, he tried his best to break through to the third level, but he was still one step behind Li Qi.
When he came out of seclusion, he found out that Li Qi had already broken through the third level for hundreds of millions of years.
Grandma, that's unpleasant.
"Zhang Zong, you look like this now, do you want to join me and beat him up?" Yao Ji saw the displeasure in Zhang Zong's expression and suggested.
"With you? What are you doing next to me? Waving flags and shouting?" Zhang Zong curled his lips.
When the time comes to fight, if you don't do it yourself, Yao Ji will not be qualified to watch the battle even if she is a fifth-level fighter.
"Forget it, make tea, make tea, make tea!" Yao Ji urged.
Zhang Zong likes tea. This is a very famous thing. Everyone looks at this skill.
"To you, sencha is just like a cow chewing peonies. Does it make any difference when you drink it?" Zhang Zong found a place to sit down.
"You care about me?" Yao Ji crossed her arms and said, "I'm here now, and you still want to leave like this?"
"When sencha is cooked, its taste is so sweet and fragrant that the drinker can't bear to swallow it. However, when ordinary people taste the tea, it is all bitter and astringent. They still endure the hardship and praise the good taste of the tea. It's just arty. I don't know the taste of tea. I'm just worried that you've wasted it. My tea." Zhang Zong said while placing various utensils.
Making tea is just for self-pleasure. If you have a good day and a good day, you have two or three close friends, your mind is free and your hands are free, and you are not tired of talking, you can use your skills to help you feel better.
If you are in a bad mood, surrounded by mundane things, and there are stupid words and nonsense around you, which are neither pure nor elegant, it is better to drink water and make tea before leaving.
but--
Now that the tea sets are all laid out, it is enough to see that Zhang Zong is not as unhappy as he appears.
Yao Ji also noticed it, so she pestered Zhang Zong to bring out his good tea.
It's a pity that good tea is too expensive, and Yao Ji doesn't have enough coffee seats, so she can't ask for it.
Zhang Zong began to fry tea, his technique was as neat and clean as ever, it could be considered an art.
The key to making tea is to wait for the soup. I saw him gently making the secrets, flying over the spiritual spring in the air, and diving into the water. The water was transparent and curved like a hook.
Water is the local spiritual water in Kunlun Mountain. I think Zhang Zong collected it when he came. He likes to make tea. Naturally, he likes to get some of water, fire and tea everywhere.
This water comes from the source of Haifuliu, which is located in the northeast corner of Kunlun. It can be said to be the water essence of the mountains in the world. It originates from Kunlun and goes up to Tianhan. It can be said to be the top water source.
He also points the talisman below, and the heavenly fire, the earthly fire, and the human fire merge into one, which is the 'true fire'. Among them, there are four heavenly fires, five earthly fires, and three human fires, which together make eleven, plus Zhang Zong's own elixir fire. , a total of twelve kinds of strange fire, each different. Among them are dragon fire, thunder fire, star spirit, flying fire, etc., which can stimulate different properties of water.
The fire burns in the mountain, and a strong wind blows from the sky, just like a mortal man waving a fan incessantly. The wind and fire intersect, and the heat is pressing. After a while, the water boils and fine foam slowly rises, which is the eye of a crab. After a while, the huge foam jumps into the beads, which is the fish. Eye.
Zhang Zong was observing carefully from the side and heard a slight sound for the first time. This was the sound of pines in the wind.
Pour out one or two spoonfuls of water from the crab's eyes, and pour it back in when the pine wind blows to stop it from boiling, and then add the tea leaves.
For two qian of tea leaves, the water will stop boiling. After a while, the water will boil again, like foam splashing on rushing waves, and the tea is ready.
However, it is the most difficult at this time. If it is too much, it will become old. If it gets old, the fragrance of the tea will disappear and the water will become turbid.
If it is not as good as it is, it will be tender, and if it is tender, the tea fragrance has not developed, and the water is still weak. Both of them are out of cooking, and if they are not cooked, they will fail. The water, fire, and wind tea are all useless and cannot be saved.
Making tea is a matter of subtlety. It is difficult to explain in words. If you ignore it lightly, you will not be able to help. However, Zhang Zong is a master at it. The water method and fire method are all subtle and inexplicable. There are few mistakes. In a short time, the tea soup Take out the pot.
The tea water is like emerald, the dewdrops are pearly, like a hanging rainbow, the stars are thin, the smoke is thin, and the clouds are lingering in the mist.
Looking at the stars and looking at the air, I saw the clear mist floating in the tea and the refreshing air.
Yao Ji then picked up a glass and took a sip.
After tasting it, she smacked her lips and said, "Tsk, it's just average."
Three veins suddenly bulged out on Zhang Zong's head, and the muscle lines in the hand holding the teapot became clearer.
"Is this normal? You are a bit demanding." At this time, a voice suddenly came from the side.
I don't know when, Li Qi has arrived. He seems to have taken some time away from data processing to attend this tea party.
"Hey, Zhang Zong, you're so powerful. You're already at level three. You've suffered a lot, right?" Li Qi greeted him with a smile and took a sip of tea.
The fragrance of tea was fragrant, and Li Qisanpin's mind felt clear.
If you find a planet and pour this cup of tea on it, that planet will probably turn into a gem, and its entire body will turn into essence. The creatures on it will instantly transcend and become energy beings, and then turn into some kind of treasure land for cultivation. Every five thousand years, dozens of civilizations will go up to compete in the Genius Battle Royale, and the one who wins the chicken can get a golden finger or something.
That's great.
"Compared to you, I have suffered a lot, but it can be considered a blessing from you. Do you know how long it took me to advance to the third level?" Zhang Zong said.
Li Qi thought for a moment, then looked at Zhang Zong, and guessed: "One hundred billion years?"
"More than that, nineteen universes. I have experienced the destruction and rebirth of the universe nineteen times. Calculating the time, it is about... forty-two trillion years. You were already in the third level at that time, so you didn't feel anything, right? I was It’s the fourth grade, but it has actually experienced nineteen universe reopenings..." Zhang Zong rubbed his face, as if recalling some painful past events.
"It's really been a long, long time. Have you experienced all the fourth grades?" Li Qi asked.
"No, if you stay in Tianxia, you can rely on Tianxia to avoid this kind of thing. Only a few fourth-grade people choose to go in, and almost all of those who go in die. There are about 600 people who go in, and they come out alive. There are only thirty, and only two people have been promoted, and one of them is me." Zhang Zong said.
Tianxia is like an ark in the flood that destroys the world. As long as you stay in Tianxia, you can avoid the aftermath of the world's destruction. You don't need to experience the reopening of the universe, and you don't have to face the aftermath of a first-class battle.
No, the first-grade battle itself is also an opportunity.
Many third-level or fourth-level players will choose to go to the aftermath of the first-level battle to look for possible opportunities.
But...if you're not careful, you'll die.
That is really very dangerous. If you accidentally insert yourself into the "key node" of their struggle, you may die without knowing how, and even your existence will be erased.
Because once you go out, it's not that easy to go back. You have to use every possible means to survive nineteen reopenings, and this is what you can conclude after the fact.
Once you go out as a party and face those universes, you don't know how long the fight will last. This is a marathon with no end.
You can't slow down and either run to the end or die on the road.
And even if you survive successfully, you may not be able to break through. No one will promise that you can break through to the third level as long as you persevere. This is just an opportunity. Whether you can grasp it or not ultimately depends on yourself.
However, it is obvious that Zhang Zong won in the end. Not only did he survive, he also successfully completed his goal.
After nineteen universe reopenings, a total of forty-two trillion years, he was finally promoted to the third level, so that he can now appear in this place.
"Oh, it's so difficult. I don't know why you can do it so easily." Zhang Zong looked at Li Qi carefully, as if he wanted to understand what happened to this monster.
"Is it easy? I don't think it's easy. Now someone says that you have only survived a few universe reopenings and are now at level three. It's so easy. Do you want to hit him?" Li Qi said to Zhang Zong .
"Definitely, but thinking about it, I think I must have had a harder time than you. After all, you bastard has never experienced forty-two trillion years of suffering..."
"Really? Shall we change? You come and play with the demon." Li Qi suggested.
"Haha, it's better to thank you. I'd better squat in my universe and reopen the kiln. Even if it's just to look at Mr. Zhu's face, it would be better." Zhang Zong laughed and changed the subject.
When he mentioned Mr. Zhu, Li Qi also laughed.
This reminds people of the scene where the little Celestial Master was angry because Li Qi broke through to the fourth level.
At that time, he was still thinking of playing tricks with Zhu Fengdan and hiding his thoughts.
Now that I think about it, it's really cute.
Children always like to say: "Adults don't understand anything."
However, adults actually know quite a lot.
Just to see if I want to expose it.
After all, adults have basically experienced everything that children have experienced, and they are all similar things.
The two began to reminisce about old times.
Yao Ji next to her started drinking tea out of boredom.
Zhang Zong quietly changed the tea leaves to inferior ones.
Yao Ji didn't drink it.
Zhang Zong was very happy.
Sure enough, he knew.
Stupid talk is noisy and has neither purity nor elegance. It is better to drink water.
It's almost enough to give her some tea foam, don't waste good tea leaves.
As for the other side, the topic between Li Qi and Zhang Zong naturally came to: "What are you doing here?"
"Well...if you want to say what I'm here to do, I said I'm here to help you. Do you believe it?" Zhang Zong replied while washing his tea pet.
"Believe it, why don't you believe it? Apart from this reason, what other reasons can there be?" Li Qi said simply: "Is it because of humanity? I have news here that humanity will take action against me, and humanity's current Allies, there is reason and Taoism.”
The Xianshi Sect of Taoism, as well as about half of Li Dao, and some martial arts, are fully supporting Humanity. There are even true immortals among them, which also makes Humanity's combat power appear to be quite abundant.
There is naturally a reason for being able to fight one against three.
"About this, there are actually some secrets involved. I didn't know about it until I reached the third level. Do you dare to listen?" Zhang Zong asked.
"Why don't you dare?" Li Qi replied immediately.
He has been wondering for a long time why the Daoist Manifestation Sect supports the Dao of Humanity, and it would be best if he could hear it.
As for the consequences...
Besides, dead pigs are not afraid of boiling water. The more causes and effects are stirred up, the more Li Qi will know, which seems to be a good thing at the moment.
"That's good, I'll say it then." Zhang Zong was about to speak.
Yao Ji next to her blocked her ears.
As someone once said, knowing too much can easily involve you in the ‘key nodes’. Once a war breaks out, all the competition for key nodes will affect everyone who knows about it.
The war between high-ranking people is terrible.
Secrets must be secrets for a reason, and knowing these things is not always a good thing.
"The goal of the Manifestation Sect is actually the same as ours, which is to pursue absolute freedom. Do you know what freedom is?" Zhang Zong continued to ask.
"Know that absolute freedom without restraint is above everything, whether it is life or death, material, spiritual, moral, or anything else. Absolute freedom that cannot be controlled by anything."
"Come and leave all time and space at will, without being fettered by any thing or concept, and with absolute freedom that cannot be interpreted. This is the 'freedom' that Taoism pursues." Li Qi said.
Zhang Zong'e said: "Don't you think this goal is quite consistent with 'replacing heaven with man'?"
“As long as ‘people’ transcend all things and become the ‘noumenon’ of all things, then wouldn’t all the Manifestationists involved become transcendent as well?”
