"In the ancient times of China, people on Earth once walked out of the universe?"
"That sounds like bullshit, the most absurd kind of bullshit."
But Li Mu gave it a second thought and realized that the fact that he was teleported from Earth to this planet was already a case.
Since the old faker could teleport him out of the Age of Dharma Ending when the Spiritual Qi on Earth was exhausted, it was hard to say that people could really walk out of the universe when the Spiritual Qi was not exhausted, if the myths and legends in the Investiture of the Gods were true. And that premise seemed to have been proved by the Taoist field Li Mu saw in the Everlasting Heaven. After all, he had obtained the Ultimate Yin and Yang Cultivation Method and the Somersault Cloud, and he also saw the Spiritual Fangcun Mountain.
As for the word "Earth" coming from the mouth of Yu Hualong, who was from the Tang Dynasty, it sounded strange, but in fact, it was not hard to understand.
Because as early as the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, there were records and sayings of "China" on bronze inscriptions. Therefore, for those sages who walked out of Earth or even the solar system, it was not unacceptable for them to say the word "Earth" earlier than the people on Earth. After all, they might have seen the whole picture of Earth from the universe as a ball, much earlier than the people on Earth who invented the spacecraft.
Li Mu scratched his head in melancholy.
"This doesn't feel right."
"I f * cking came here to watch the story."
"I came here to watch the story of the crown prince of the Great Moon Empire as an onlooker. But how come I got myself into the story as I ate the story?"
Li Mu found that he had gradually accepted Yue Hualong's logic and believed in the story he told.
If it were before the adventure in the Everlasting Heaven, Li Mu might turn up his nose at it.
But after the Taoist field Master Bodhi visited in the Everlasting Heaven, Li Mu felt that he might have to change his attitude and see the many myths and legends of the Chinese country.
Rubbing his hair, Li Mu said, "Don't you know any of the names of those sages?"
Yu Hualong smiled and said, "That's not a secret. If you think about it carefully, you'll find that in the ancient history of China, there were always some people who influenced an era. However, some of them went missing, and some of them passed away in a fantastic way. Isn't that so? In fact, many of them did not die like ordinary people, but left Earth. "
Li Mu was shocked.
The first person he thought of was someone.
"For example?" Li Mu asked.
"For example, Laozi who wrote the supreme scripture, Tao Te Ching. Do you know his final whereabouts?" Yu Hualong asked rhetorically.
"Sure enough."
Li Mu said, "History only records that Laozi left the Hangu Valley in the west. He rode the purple air from the east and rode the green ox to the west. He died without any illness and there is no evidence to check. Could it be …"
"Did of Laozi" of Laozi crossed the universe on Laozi?
"Laozi". Laozi "Laozi of of Laozi of the universe and came to this planet. He stayed with Zhou for a long time, and when he saw that Zhou was declining, he left. When I arrived at the Pass, Lord Yin said happily, "Laozi was about to go into seclusion, but he forced me to write a book. So, Laozi wrote the first two parts of the book about Tao Te Ching. After more than 5,000 words, no one knows where he ended … As a descendant, you should know this record, right? "
Li Mu nodded.
He and the old faker lived in the Dipamkara Temple. The old faker was very interested in Taoist classics, and especially admired Laozi.
Influenced by him, Li Mu also learned some interesting stories about Laozi.
Among all the legends about Laozi, the one that interested Li Mu the most was the final destination of Laozi. According to the history books, Laozi disappeared after he wrote the Tao Te Ching. But the folklore was that Laozi left Hangu Pass in the west, rode the purple air from the east, and ascended to the sky on a green ox. Li Mu always felt that this might be the folklore made up by the people because they admired Laozi, a sage. Unexpectedly … the legend was the truth.
"That is to say, Laozi actually broke the void and left Earth."
"The Void-breaking Realm!"
"Laozi is actually a powerful martial arts practitioner?"
Fortunately, after the foreshadowing, Li Mu gradually got used to it.
"Who else?" Li Mu took a deep breath and asked, "You said there was more than one sage who walked out of Earth. Is it possible that … Confucius, the sage, is also one?"
Yu Hualong shook his head and said, "Confucius took a different path from Laozi. He chose to stay on Earth to fight, so he didn't set foot on the Star Path."
Li Mu nodded.
According to the history, in the 16th year of Duke Ai of Lu, Confucius fell ill at the age of 73 and died.
Different from Laozi's fantastic final destination, it clearly recorded the year of Confucius's birth and death. But Li Mu also knew that if Laozi had the cultivation to set foot on the Star Path, how could Confucius, who was as famous as Laozi, not have such a cultivation? For a sage, 73 years old was almost like a child. What kind of disease could make a sage die without being cured?
Yu Hualong continued, "In the Spring and Autumn Period, the Warring States Period, the Qin and Han Dynasties, hundreds of schools of thought contended, and hundreds of flowers bloomed. All the scholars were powerful. Half of them followed in Laozi's footsteps and set foot on the Star Path, hoping to find a way of redemption. But some chose to stay on Earth to fight against the enemy like Confucius … The Great Moon Empire is the spark of civilization that Laozi and his followers built on this planet. Now, do you understand?"
Li Mu nodded subconsciously.
He was in a trance, but he also understood.
In the pre-Qin era and even before Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, all the schools in China believed that hundreds of schools of thought contended. Later, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty dismissed all the schools of thought and revered Confucianism. Gradually, the flourishing scene of hundreds of flowers contending with each other was lost. In addition to the imperial policy, perhaps it had something to do with the departure of the scholars and the exhaustion of Spiritual Qi. Even in the later generations, there were only a few outstanding talents occasionally appeared. But those who could really compete with the scholars were few.
"It seems that only Wang Yangming, the founder of the school of mind, can become a sage?"
After a pause, Li Mu recalled what Yu Hualong said at the beginning. So, he asked, "You said you came here with your master in the Tang Dynasty. May I ask who your master is?"
At that, Yu Hualong's face showed a hint of pride.
This kind of expression was not conceited or arrogant, but a natural expression of respect and admiration for his master that was ingrained in his bones.
With a respectful look, he cupped his hands to the sky and said, "My master's name is well-known in both ancient and modern times. Humph, Your Highness Li, aren't you also familiar with my master's poems? "
Li Mu's mouth fell open. "Li Bai?"
Li Bai, whose courtesy name was Taibai, was also known as Buddhist Cyan Lotus, or Fallen Immortal.
He was the greatest romantic poet in the history of China. Later generations called him the Immortal of Poetry.
"Did this Immortal of Poetry really become an immortal?"
As for the Immortal of Poetry, few people in China on Earth did not know him, whether they were literate or not.
Li Mu reckoned that Li Bai was second to none among all the famous poets of the ancient dynasties in China. With his achievements in poetry alone, he could compete with anyone in any field. In the eyes of the Chinese, even those famous emperors, generals, and ministers were not as popular as Li Bai.
There were all kinds of legends about Li Bai's final destination.
The most popular one was that in his later years, Li Bai traveled along the Yangtze River. When he arrived at Caishi Rock, he found the scenery as beautiful as a fairyland. So, he anchored the boat in Caishi Rock, drank wine, and composed poems. When night fell, the sky was clear and the moon was bright, a whale rose from the water. Li Bai jumped on the whale and rode it to the sky to catch the moon. Then, he disappeared in the sky and never came back.
That was the legend of Li Bai riding a whale to catch the moon.
The legend was almost the same as the story of Laozi riding a cyan bull and riding a purple cloud to the sky.
So, the legends often contained the historical truth, didn't they?
Yu Hualong continued, "By the time the Tang Empire was founded, the Spiritual Qi between heaven and earth had begun to decline. My master found the Immortal Path and set foot on the path of the sages, hoping to find the answer he had been searching for and the path of redemption in the legend. He took two of his best friends and several attendants across the sea of stars, followed some clues, and came to the Great Moon Empire. Unfortunately, by that time, powerful enemies had already arrived. The situation was critical. So, my master used the Cyan Lotus Reincarnation Skill to seal five of my fellow apprentices, including me, in the Moon Altar of the Great Moon Empire to protect us. Then, he fought the enemies with his best friends … When I woke up, the world had changed. More than 1,300 years later, the Great Moon Empire that used to be in its heyday had also become a fleeting cloud."
His words were full of emotions and sighs, as well as a strong longing for his old friends.
If he could act at this level, he would be able to beat Teacher Zhang Yishan, who could act in bed to the level of Jin Ping Mei with just ten toes.
If that was the case, Li Mu would accept it.
By then, Li Mu was fully convinced of what Yu Hualong said.
"He is Li Bai's apprentice! I copied so many verses from his teacher …" Even though Devil Li had always prided himself on being thick-skinned, at that moment, he could not help blushing, as if he had just cheated in an exam. Although he was not caught by the teacher, he was caught by his competitor.
Therefore, Li Mu hastily took a deep breath and put on a look that said, "Don't talk. Don't disturb me. I'm thinking."
If what Yu Hualong said was true, more puzzles would pop up in the air.
"You said before that there were five people sealed in that time. Why are you alone now?" Li Mu asked.
Yu Hualong answered, "Back then, I was the youngest among the five brothers, so everyone called me Xiaowu." He did not lie when he told Caicai, Wu Beichen, and the others that his name was Xiaowu. Then, he added, "But when I woke up from the Moon Altar, I found the other four brothers had already woken up and left the Moon Altar before me. I've been looking for them all these years, but I don't have many clues."
"Not many? So you have some clues? "asked Li Mu.
Yu Hualong answered, "It has something to do with the top nine Holy Clans and the three empires. But I haven't figured it out yet."
Li Mu nodded and did not dwell on that question for too long. Then, he posed the most important question among all the logical starting points. "You said the ancestors left Earth to find a way of redemption, but some stayed to fight … What on earth did they want to redeem? What were they fighting against? Where are the enemies? "
-----
At this point, the core of the Holy Martial Arts was gradually revealed.
Next, you can take a guess. Who else left Earth and came to the universe?
