The four leading priests circled around Yin Xiu and Ma Xiaoyu, seeming to be thinking about something.
Until he met Yin Xiu's eyes, the talent on the bamboo basket stopped.
"Yin Xiu, Ma Xiaoyu, you two, are you really like what you said, and have never made even the slightest effort to find Kunlun?"
The two looked at each other, then shook their heads at the same time.
"This is so weird."
Master Bamboo Basket Soul Picker put his hand on his chest and touched his chin, as if he was stroking his beard, but in Yin Xiu's opinion, she only touched from the neck to the ravine.
This scene was so weird that after watching it curiously for a while, he was pinched by Ma Xiaoyu on the waist and woke up.
"There must be something wrong here."
"The path to Kunlun has changed."
"Perhaps something has changed over time."
"They two didn't lie."
After reaching this consensus loudly, the four leading priests dispersed from the circle. Except for Master Bamboo Basket Soul Collection, the other priests left in a daze, as if they no longer cared about the affairs here.
"They have their own things to do. Maintaining the existence of Kunlun is a laborious task in itself." Master Zhulan Soul Collection explained.
"Understand, nothing is easy."
Yin Xiu expressed her understanding, "Even those fit people, each with a net worth of hundreds of millions, dare not say that they will not be able to walk on their own territory for a day."
I don’t know if Master Bamboo Basket Soul Picking understood it, but he just asked: “Are you two from the same sect?”
"No."
"So, are you husband and wife?"
"Not yet."
As if she had a premonition that disaster had already come out of her mouth, Yin Xiu quickly asked questions before Ma Xiaoyu could figure it out.
"Master, where are we now?"
"Kunlun Fairy Mountain."
"No, no, no, I mean, where is Kunlun Fairy Mountain?"
"At the end of all cause and effect and time."
"..."
Seeing that both Yin Xiu and Ma Xiaoyu were confused, Master Zhulan Soul Collection explained: "You can also understand it this way. Kunlun Fairy Mountain is a special world. Here, Kunlun is a whole world."
"You mean, there is no other place in this world except Kunlun?" Ma Xiaoyu asked.
"Kunlun is Kunlun. Maybe in the infinite time, there are other fairy mountains in the endless world roots, such as Penglai and Yingzhou, but here, Kunlun is Kunlun."
"Even you gods don't know if there are other miracles in the world? Are there places in the world that you don't know about? Aren't you omniscient and omnipotent?"
Ma Xiaoyu asked a series of questions in quick succession, and with each question, her expression became more puzzled.
Faced with these questions, Master Bamboo Basket Soul Collection did not feel irritated. He just seemed to be looking at a child who kept asking questions and was full of curiosity.
"Are we just immortals, omniscient and omnipotent? We don't have the kind of ability that troubles us."
After a pause, seeing the confusion between the two of them, he added: "Don't you think omniscience and omnipotence are a kind of happiness? You are wrong, that is a curse, and it is the most vicious kind.
It is precisely because you are omnipotent that you are troubled. "
Yin Xiu couldn't understand the meaning of Master Bamboo Basket Soul Picker's words for a moment, but there was a more important question lingering in his mind.
"But if Kunlun is an independent world, why do people like me see Kunlun and get guidance to enter Kunlun?"
"Because they are tangent, the projections of the two worlds are tangent."
He said: "All worlds in the long river of time are independent bubbles, floating in the endless void. At a certain moment, the projections of the two bubbles in the void overlap each other, so there is a legend of ascending to immortality."
"You mean, Kunlun is also one of the endless bubbles?"
Master Bamboo Basket Soul Picker still shook his head, "Wrong, Kunlun is the most unique. It is not affected by the rules. It can be a bubble or the void itself."
"We are almost discussing philosophical issues." Yin Xiu sighed.
On the other side, Ma Xiaoyu was already confused. She just asked: "Then what will we do after we come to Kunlun?"
"Do whatever you want."
"Then let me put it another way, how long are we going to stay here?"
"How long? Kunlun is independent of the long river of time. This moment is both the past, the future, and the present.
People on Kunlun can look back on the long river of time. A Daluo Jinxian is the most powerful at all times. Whether he is just born or about to die, time has no meaning to him.
He is both his own origin and his own end, his ultimate cause and his ultimate effect.
Therefore, it is not that the older is more powerful, but that the more powerful is older. "
"I feel like I'm very epileptic now." Yin Xiu sighed.
"Aren't you always like this?"
Ma Xiaoyu rolled her eyes, and then sighed.
Although different from Yin Xiu who became a monk halfway, Ma Xiaoyu had read many mysterious and mysterious Taoist classics at the request of her family when she was a child.
But it had to be said that Master Bamboo Basket Soul Picker's words still made her a little confused at the moment.
"OK OK."
Master Bamboo Basket Soul Picker clapped his hands and said, "Although you have many questions to ask now, since you have entered Kunlun, as the guiding priest, it is necessary for me to give you some introductions and help."
"for example……"
As Master Bamboo Basket Soul Picker snapped his fingers, the scene in front of him changed instantly.
Before Yin Xiu could recover, they were already in a forest that could not be detected by any instrument.
"This is Aomori. In the past 1 years, and in the next 1 years, these trees will still be so tall, and the flowers on the trees will still be as beautiful."
Master Bamboo Basket Soul Collection took a breath of the air intoxicatedly, and a strange blush appeared on his face. Against the backdrop of his rimless glasses, it looked more beautiful than flowers.
"This place...well, it's indeed not bad, but Master, what are we doing here?"
"Yin Xiu," his eyes flashed with brilliance, "this forest exists for you. Only with your needs can this forest thrive."
"My needs?"
Yin Xiu's face was full of shock, even though he already understood that in Kunlun, the so-called cause and effect were reversed or even intertwined, like a Mobius ribbon.
"That's right, we're here to reshape your arm."
He pointed to Yin Xiu's empty sleeves. "When you come to Kunlun, you pay the price of an arm, and when you arrive at Kunlun, you will get an arm as a reward. They are cause and effect."
"This is good."
Yin Xiu laughed, "When I realized that I really entered Kunlun, I actually didn't care much about things like immortality, ascension, and eternity.
Except that I felt very happy when I saw her, in fact, I didn't care about anything else.
As for my arm, I don't really care whether it has it or whether I can attach another [Red Scale] to it.
At worst, I will learn from Yang Guo and conquer the world with one hand, but after you said you could help me pick up one hand, I didn't feel too happy. "
Master Bamboo Basket Soul Picker looked at Yin Xiu with great interest.
Over an unknown number of years, he received many immortal seekers. After they landed in Kunlun, some people spoke directly, some were coy, and some pretended to be noble, but none of them pretended to be noble. With one exception, they all want something.
Some are asking for immortality, some are asking for magical powers from heaven and earth, and some are asking for treasures.
Without exception, their requests were met, because for Kunlun, it was just a trivial matter and did not even need to be done.
But Yin Xiu, his character is not coy, his behavior is not aloof, and even his thoughts seem to be completely different from those of the previous people.
Then, Master Bamboo Basket Soul Picker asked with a smile: "Yin Xiu, what do you want to say?"
"Your Excellency, Master Bamboo Basket Soul Picker, the price, what is the price?" Yin Xiu glared.
Hearing this, Master Bamboo Basket Soul Recipient laughed even louder, his whole body trembled, and his whole body almost bent backwards, as if he was crazy.
It took him a long time to recover, with a playful expression on his face.
"Yin Xiu, you are right, this is not a gift, but an exchange."
"In exchange for what?"
After hearing his words, Yin Xiu felt a little relieved.
"Anyone who comes to Kunlun must have something special about him, either his soul is noble, or his consciousness is extraordinary. Anyway, it is some kind of valuable quality that leads him to Kunlun."
Master Bamboo Basket Soul Picker paced, her high heels sinking deeply into the soft ground. Every step she took brought out some soil like pulling out a carrot, but she didn't seem to care.
This should also be due to the different perspectives, resulting in different feelings.
"And you, Yin Xiu, the most valuable thing about you is your courage, which is as dazzling as a star and indestructible.
In exchange, you have to show it in Kunlun. In this way, you will gain Kunlun's favor and truly enter Kunlun. "
"So, what am I going to do?"
Yin Xiu couldn't give him anything else, and he might be reluctant to give it to him.
Only courage, especially regarding this life, Yin Xiu has put it to the test on the gambling table and the scale many times, and he survived successfully every time.
Only bet what you have and bet it all at once. This is also Yin Xiu's way of survival and consciousness.
"what are you going to do?"
Master Bamboo Basket Soul Picker smiled and said: "It's very simple, just fight with me."
After being speechless for a long time, Yin Xiu smiled with relief after discovering that Master Bamboo Basket Soul Collection was indeed not joking or saying some Buddhist verses, but really wanted to fight with him.
But he still said calmly: "But, I can't beat you."
"It's okay. As long as you can hurt me, whether it's a scratch or something else, you win."
"Is it that simple?" Yin Xiu couldn't believe it.
"Simple?"
Now it was Master Zhulan Soul Collection's turn to be surprised, "Yin Xiu, fighting a Kunlun guide priest at any time will never be an easy matter."
"Maybe," Yin Xiu grinned, "But at least you are willing to let me try, right? And I won't die if I lose."
Master Bamboo Basket Soul Picker nodded, "Yes, there is no death on Kunlun."
"Then what do I have to be afraid of?"
Yin Xiu stood up straight, made a sword gesture and saluted him, "Please give me your advice. It is my honor to fight with you."
"This is also what makes me happy, a warrior from the mortal world."
"Okay, since it's not an ordinary fight, and it's not a matter of life and death, can we treat this as a duel?"
Master Bamboo Basket Soul Picker shrugged, "Although I only think of this as a game, if you think so, I can also treat it as a duel and go all out."
"But……"
Master Bamboo Basket Soul Picker's smile became more and more playful, "If I go all out, the battle will be over in an instant. Yin Xiu, this will be a big trouble for you."
Yin Xiu grinned, "I don't like anything else. What I like most is making trouble and provoking trouble."
"That's right," Ma Xiaoyu agreed, "wherever he goes, there will be trouble."
"Interesting, really interesting."
Master Bamboo Basket Soul Picker laughed loudly, "How about this, Yin Xiu, I regard this as one of your wishes. Kunlun is a place where any wish will come true, so if you fail this challenge, Of course you will fail.
But what I mean is, you can always challenge me later if you want. "
Saying this, Master Bamboo Basket Soul Picker felt that he was being a little cruel.
In a certain time in the West, there was a man named Sisyphus. He offended the gods and was punished by pushing a huge boulder up a mountain.
But every time he pushed the stone to the top of the mountain, the stone would roll down to the bottom of the mountain. Day after day, Sisyphus could never push the stone up the mountain. He repeated the work of pushing the stone every day.
This is the punishment of the Western gods for those who do not respect the gods, but Yin Xiu is not the kind of person who disrespects the gods, and Kunlun does not have such rules.
Is it actually persecution for him to hold on to the so-called hope that seems within reach but is actually so far away?
Just when Master Bamboo Basket Soul Collection frowned and was confused, Yin Xiu said: "No need."
"No need for anything?"
Yin Xiu stretched out a finger, "Once, I only need one time to hurt you. If it is to knock you down, it may take many times, but if it is to hurt you, it only takes one time for me to do it."
"Okay, I like your courage! Just being able to say such things is enough for me to admire you, Yin Xiu."
"correct."
Yin Xiu seemed to have remembered something, "If we are going to fight, since it is a duel, the two of us have to be formal. I will count to three before we start. Is that okay?"
"No, I'll do as you say." Master Bamboo Basket Soul Picker was full of confidence.
"Okay, come on then."
Yin Xiu stretched out a finger, "Ready, one..."
call out! Just hearing a sharp sound of breaking wind, Yin Xiu kicked the opponent. (End of chapter)
