"Goodbye Zhuque, do you have any new feelings?"
"No... right?"
"Don't you think it's alive?"
"Master, do you think so too?"
The master and apprentice had already walked out of the crowd at this time and continued south along the Suzaku Avenue. Listening to Master Yan Se's words, Ning Que asked in surprise, and then couldn't help but look back at the Suzaku statue surrounded by the crowd and could no longer be seen.
Master Yan Se ignored him and continued to move forward: "What kind of existence can be sure that it is alive and alive?"
Ning Que turned around and chased after him, thinking that when Senior Brother Eleven asked such a question, he spent most of his time sleeping.
"Of course, this is a relatively difficult problem, and it has nothing to do with the reason why I will take you to see the Suzaku portrait today." Master Yan Se said: "I brought you here to tell you that this picture on the Suzaku Avenue Neither the painting nor the artistic carvings have anything to do. It is a talisman in Chang'an City."
Ning Que was slightly stunned. He did not associate the Suzaku picture with the Fu Dao, because in the dark he could feel that the Suzaku picture had a terrifying power, the solemn meaning that seemed to come from ancient times, and The talisman's feeling is magical but slim, as if it is something from two worlds.
"You said before that we talisman masters regard all practices in the world as talismans... It is a very narcissistic mentality. But I can tell you with certainty that the painting of the Vermillion Bird is a talisman, a talisman, a talisman, a talisman, a talisman, a trance. The talisman left by the saints on behalf of the saints."
The words "Saint God Talisman" penetrated Ning Que's mind. He frowned tightly. After a long silence, he asked, "Master, you once said that only by taking that step can the talisman master move the world. Have the previous saints who left the Suzaku picture, taken that step?"
"Thousands of years ago, the empire established its capital Chang'an and expanded it on the basis of the original city, and then this Suzaku divine talisman was already in existence. The previous saint who drew the Suzaku divine talisman must have exceeded his destiny. Realm, I just don't know if it's apocalypse or a perfect distance, but the Fu Mo Tianxia I told you last time, I guess… the realm needed is even more profound."
"Wouldn't that become a god? Are there such great practitioners in the world?"
"To the end of the practice of Haotian Dao Method, if you exceed the Tianqi, you will be eternal. Although I have never seen it with my own eyes, there are not too few predecessors who have eternalized into immortality in Taoist scriptures."
"Myth is just a myth after all."
Master Yan Se raised his eyebrows and said, "Then do you think an ordinary mortal sees a divine talisman master like me, would he think I am a god?"
Ning Que said unsurely, "...maybe."
"So it is not so unimaginable to practice Taoism until the end of the journey into immortality. But I guess these immortals are different from those in mythological novels. They should be truly transcendent great practitioners."
"Master, I am more curious about the stories in the world. I believe that the power of the Vermilion Bird God Talisman left by the previous saint must be particularly terrifying. The question is that the Talisman's self-supporting Talisman is self-reliant. Who can inspire this Talisman?"
Master Yan Se said leisurely: "Since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, this Suzaku God Talisman has been lying quietly on the stone path and has never been really activated. However, according to the judgment of someone from the academy and the previous national teacher, the Suzaku God Once the talisman is activated, it can probably be equivalent to the full-strength attack of a peak-level cultivator of knowledge and even surpass several points in some aspects."
"It's just the peak of my life."
"Just? What's your attitude?"
"Master, you are the peak of knowing fate, and Liu Bai is also the peak of knowing fate. I guess the national master, senior brother, is also the peak of knowing fate. Master, I dare not guess. I now know many great practitioners in the realm of knowing fate, the second brother, Chao. Xiaoshu, even my stupid friend, is a genius who has entered the realm of knowing fate. Is the realm of knowing fate... really rare? "
"Ning Que."
"Master, I'm here."
Master Yan Se looked at him and shook his head, saying, "You are lucky, or you are unfortunate."
Ning Que asked in confusion: "Master, how do you say this?"
"The places with the largest number of great practitioners in the world are the Xiling Temple and the Academy. You are a student on the second floor of the academy and the disciple of me, the great priest of the temple, so you can come into contact with many powerful people in the realm of knowing fate, and ordinary practice is You may not be able to contact the strong people in your life knowing the realm of knowing fate, so I said you are very lucky. However, you are so weak now, but you have come into contact with so many strong people. I am very worried that you will lose your climbing and surpassing when you look up at the mountains. The courage."
"Don't worry, master, I'm actually quite narcissistic in my bones."
"That's good."
...
...
Before we knew it, Master Yan Se and Ning Que passed through the entire southern city along the Zhuque Avenue and came to the south gate of Chang'an City. The majestic city wall that seemed to be about to break through the sky was shrouded in a shadow covering the nearby ones. Large film market.
Master Yan Se took Ning Que to the city wall. For some reason, no one of the city gate troops with strict military discipline came to stop or check their identities, as if they had not seen them at all.
Ning Que was surprised and even more confused about why the master took him to the city tower, but he was too lazy to follow the truth. He stared at the dirty hem of the Taoist robe and climbed upwards. However, he was still a little bit about the power of the Suzaku God Talisman. Unexpectedly, he couldn't help but ask, "Master, how powerful is Zhiming's realm? I've asked someone to perform once, but I haven't seen Zhiming's fight."
Master Yan Se frowned and asked, "Which stupid great practitioner is so idiot that he can perform for you?"
Ning Que secretly said that the great practitioner's surname is Chen and his name is Pipi. Although he is idiotic in life, he is really a good person.
Master Yan Se scolded unhappily: "As for the fight between Zhiming? Do you want me to go and fight Liu Bai for you to show you?"
Ning Que explained with a bitter face: "You misunderstood, I'm just curious."
The master and apprentice climbed up the high city tower. The wind blowing from the plain climbed up along the old but still strong city walls. With a few sharp eagles, the clothes on their bodies were fluttering.
Master Yan Se stood at the edge of the city tower, stroked the blue bricks, looked at the mountain clearly visible in the south, and suddenly spoke, "The second senior brother in your academy, you just need to look at you and you will die. This is the fate of knowing one's life. realm."
Ning Que stood beside him, looking at his mountain where he had been living and studying for more than a month, thinking silently in his heart.
Just look at you and you're dead.
After savoring these eight words carefully, Ning Que felt more and more admiring and fearful. After a moment of silence, he answered honestly: "...Master, I understand. I will definitely respect you and your second senior brother more in the future."
Master Yan Se took him to the other side of the city floor facing Chang'an City.
Chang'an City, composed of countless buildings, has now become a puzzle under your feet. The palace in the north city no longer looks so high. If the Suzaku Street directly below is like a sharp and straight sword, then The imperial city is the hilt of the sword.
"What did you see?"
These Master Tian Yanser took Ning Que to travel around Chang'an City, saw many historical sites and asked questions every time he went to. Ning Que knew that the old man wanted to use this method to speed up his understanding of Fu Dao. In fact, whether it was the rain eaves of Chunfeng Pavilion or the statues of those eaves, he could indeed deepen his understanding of Fu Dao. However...
At this time, standing on the city tower to see the city view, the entire Chang'an City appeared in front of you, taking off the bustling and lively coat, leaving only the silence and the sense of separation after the sight was opened. Ordinary people will probably scream excitedly and find where their home is. From a literary and artistic perspective, they can probably observe the historical vicissitudes left by the thousand years to this heroic city. But from a fudao perspective, they can What did you see?
"Chang'an City is actually a big formation."
Master Yan Se's answer directly shocked Ning Que so much that he could not speak.
"This world-class city that has gathered the wisdom of countless previous generations of practitioners, and with the financial resources of our Tang Empire, took 30 years to expand and build, is naturally natural and the most powerful formation in the world, so it is called Jingshen ."
Ning Que looked at Chang'an City under his feet with his eyes open, trying hard to see the general appearance of the formation, but he found nothing.
Master Yan Se couldn't help but smile when he saw him and said, "Of course, this great formation of shocking gods in Chang'an City cannot be seen with the naked eye. Most of them are buried underground. What I can tell you is that the convenience under the palace is the formation hub, and the Suzaku Street is Root of the array."
The old Taoist pointed his right hand towards the palace, then his fingertips slowly moved down the Zhuque Street, and continued, "The root of the formation continues to our feet, which is the Zhuque South Gate, but it spreads through the city wall, and then from all the caves in the inner and outer cities. Return."
"You can also regard the formation of Chang'an City as a huge talisman that is extremely complex. This talisman consists of countless divine talismans. As long as the eye of the formation is opened, this huge talisman will be activated to protect this hero. The city and the residents of the city."
Ning Que looked at the dense buildings in Chang'an City, the crowds of people who were as busy as ants but were happy, and listening to Master Yan Se's words, his mind shook, and his praise and awe were hard to speak.
"The Suzaku statue I took you to see just now is the most powerful divine talisman among this huge talisman."
Ning Que took a long time to suppress the shock in his heart. He looked at the Xiongcheng in front of him and murmured with emotion: "Once this formation is opened, I don't know what kind of picture it will be, covering the sky, the sun, the dark clouds roll or the earth moves. The mountain shaking city remains unmoved..."
"No one knows what that picture will look like. I believe that even the designers and the previous generation practitioners who were responsible for building the array do not know, and they will not want to know, nor do I want to know."
Master Yan Se looked at him and said seriously: "The launch of the Great God of Shocking Formation means that Chang'an City is about to be broken. If that day comes, it will only mean that my Tang Empire has reached the verge of destruction."
Ning Que suddenly thought of a key question and looked at Master Yan Se and said seriously: "Master, you shouldn't tell me about such things, especially the formation pivot and root, which is not good."
Master Yan Se said calmly: "Do you know who is responsible for the Great Fortune of the Gods in Chang'an City now?"
"who?"
"Your master, I."
Master Yan Se looked at him with a smile and said, "You are my only successor. After I leave this world, you will be responsible for this great formation of shocking gods, so it is natural to let you know some situations in advance."
Ning Que didn't say anything. He turned pale and looked at Chang'an City below the city tower. He shook his head and made a very strange sound from his mouth, as if he was cursing or sucking air conditioning, and more like unconscious thoughts. .
It took a long time.
He looked back at Master Yan Se and said resentfully: "Master, don't bring such a scary one."
