The Multiverse Starting from White Deer Plain - 559. The man in the mirror
It feels amazing when I think about it. Search Google and read that Xiang Shaolong opposed him and supported Zhao Zheng to ascend the throne to unify the countries. However, the knowledge Xiang Shaolong relied on turned out to be something he had written when he was a mortal…
If Xiang Shaolong knew that this book was written by him, I don’t know what his expression would be. Bai Gui was actually looking forward to this.
“That’s right! Even though I have cultivated into the Yang God, eliminated the causes and effects of the realm…, and reached the point of becoming transcendent, I still exist in the timeline of the original world.”
“It’s like a sword box…”
Bai Gui frowned and gradually realized something.
He cultivated into the Yang Shen Celestial Immortal, so that the “now” with him as the coordinate of his current body was eliminated, and there was no trace of it anymore. But there are still traces of his past and future time periods. The future body is difficult to predict, but the past body is the easiest to capture, just like the novel “The Qin Empire” in Xiang Shaolong’s hands.
If you want to cultivate the Golden Immortal Path and transcend the timeline, you need to wrap up the past and eliminate cause and effect. As for the names of gods such as Taishang and Guanyin Bodhisattva, it is because they have completely transcended the timeline, exist in all realms, and have reached the level of freedom of movement.
And he… is still in the receiving stage.
As for why Kunlun Mirror brought him to the world of Xun Qin, Bai Gui now really understood. The anchor point of his past life is Zhao Li at this moment. The alter ego in this world, once Zhao Li’s timeline is wrapped up and refined into Dao Fruit, his Golden Immortal Dao Fruit will be equivalent to a small half of his achievement.
As for how to refine “Zhao Li”, the key point lies in Xiang Shaolong. Xiang Shaolong is a time-traveler on Hong Kong Island in the future. The past timeline and the future timeline overlap with Xiang Shaolong. This is also the reason why Bai Gui has been reluctant to kill Xiang Shaolong.
It can be said that in the world of family searching, Xiang Shaolong is the most precious. Even if you search many small worlds, it is difficult to find a time traveler like Xiang Shaolong who can travel through time without dying.
Travelers, this is something Xiang Shaolong and Bai Gui have in common.
It is not difficult to travel through time. With Bai Gui’s current strength, it is easy for a person to travel through time. However, even if one travels to the easiest past line, the traveler’s body will immediately collapse and die, turning into powder and dissipating between heaven and earth.
“The more I stir up the timeline, the greater the backlash I bear. This is why I keep suppressing my own strength. But if I don’t stir up the timeline, how can I close the timeline…”
Bai Gui thought to himself.
Provoking the timeline means changing the plot of the original time and space. The greater the change, the will of the world will continue to repair the damaged time and space and promote its restoration with great power. To put it simply, a time traveler killed Liu Bang, the founder of the Han Dynasty, but under the power of the world, time and space returned to its orbit, which meant that a second Liu Bang would be born and the Han Empire would be established.
A vivid metaphor. The history of a world is like a straight line. The rebirth of a time traveler is equivalent to bending this line. However, the power of a time traveler is limited after all. After bending, the thread of time will slowly start to move again. Tighten until it returns to its original shape. The force required when bending the timeline, as well as the force generated when tightening the timeline, are the cause and effect that the time traveler needs to bear.
“Since Xiang Shaolong and I are both time-travelers…”
Bai Gui had an idea in an instant.
Pioneer for the King!
Let Xiang Shaolong bear the greatest responsibility, and he is the one who picks up the peaches.
…
In the carriage, Xiang Shaolong was spreading the book on his lap and reading.
However, at this moment, the book slowly changed and turned into a yellow mirror. This mirror is about three to four inches long and wide, and has a handle. It is a bronze mirror with complex patterns of birds and animals on the back.
“what happened?”
Xiang Shaolong looked at the bronze mirror in front of him, was startled, and wanted to throw it away.
“Wait a minute!” The bronze mirror suddenly spoke, and in the mirror was a young voice, “Xiang Shaolong, do you know immortals? I once studied in the East, and on my way back home, I passed by Penglai Immortal Island, where I met Immortal…, Fairy Peony told me the magic of immortality. I practiced it, and when I woke up, it turned into this book. It’s ironic to think that I actually turned into the book I wrote…”
Immortal? Penglai Fairy Island?
Studying in Japan?
One message after another hit Xiang Shaolong’s mind, and a look of ecstasy suddenly appeared on his face. Before he came to Hong Kong Island, he liked to read martial arts novels. This was not just about falling off a cliff and meeting an expert. Oh my god, it’s finally his turn.
“Senior, you are…”
Xiang Shaolong calmed down his expression and respectfully asked for advice.
I studied in the East, and when I heard it, I thought it was very noble. He was a little gangster. Although he had always looked down on the four-eyed boy when he was in Hong Kong, in fact, he was still envious of him in his heart. Just like the gangster brother likes his children to study hard. Everyone knows the importance of knowledge. Not to mention that this “senior” is still bringing benefits to him at this moment, so of course he has to be respectful.
“What were you reading just now?” the man in the mirror asked.
“The Qin Empire by Bai Gui.”
Xiang Shaolong was stunned for a moment and then replied.
“This book was written when I was studying in Japan.”
The vicissitudes of life in the mirror.
“Bai Gui?”
Xiang Shaolong’s eyes suddenly widened. How could he not know the origin of this celebrity? Even though he didn’t read a few books in elementary school, Bai Gui’s popularity is already national-level, not to mention that he has read the novel “The Empire of Qin”, and there is a character introduction to Bai Gui on the title page.
“Mr. Bai…, senior…are you Mr. Bai?”
“Really Mr. Bai?”
He couldn’t believe it.
The man in the mirror shook his head and told everything about him. Including learning Bagu in childhood, taking the policy question exam in the late Qing Dynasty, winning the Xiao Sanyuan, and studying in Japan and returning to China.
After hearing this, Xiang Shaolong nodded and no longer questioned the identity of the person in the mirror. The deeds described by the man in the mirror were roughly the same as what he knew, and were much more detailed than what he said. In this case, the person in the mirror is definitely not a person from the pre-Qin era, but a “modern person” who accompanied him through time.
“The reason why I reawakened is probably related to your time travel. As for why it appeared in the book you purchased, this is also something unknown…”
The man in the mirror explained.
Xiang Shaolong nodded perfunctorily. He didn’t plan to care too much about it. If he really had such leisure, he would have become a “four-eyed boy” long ago. He asked about the top priority, “Mr. Bai, the immortal method… I wonder if this immortal method can be taught to the younger generation like me…”
“Immortal magic? With your current physical condition, it’s still early for you to want to learn immortal magic.” The man in the mirror smiled, “I learned some boxing, kicking and internal skills before studying in Japan. You can learn these skills first.” Only when you are proficient in both can you accept the next immortal method.”
“Mr. Bai is not only well-known in literature, but also has first-class martial arts skills.” Xiang Shaolong suddenly remembered Bai Gui’s previous deeds. He defeated the karate master Fumio Funakoshi. He said excitedly, “I am willing to learn Mr. Bai’s boxing, kicking and internal skills.” …”
“It’s just…” At this point, Xiang Shaolong hesitated, “Mr. Bai, when I was in Gandan, Zhao State, I once met a man named Zhao Li. His swordsmanship was so superb that he didn’t even look like… The power that a person can possess is simply magic. Can I defeat him after learning this boxing, kicking and internal skills? Also, Zhao Li, Mr. Bai, have you heard of Zhao Li?”
“Zhao Li” defeated him twice, completely destroying the arrogance in his chest, thinking that the ancients were only so arrogant. It can be said that if asked about his number one enemy at this moment, it would definitely not be Lian Jin who killed Shu Er, but Zhao Li. He dreamed of defeating Zhao Li and then killing this man.
Besides, since the author of “The Qin Empire” is here. Bai Gui must be more knowledgeable than him, so it is reasonable to ask about Zhao Li’s role in history.
“Zhao Li?” The man in the mirror said in surprise, “I don’t know much about this person. But all things carry yin and embrace yang. You traveled to the Warring States Period and happened to meet me again. Maybe… he is your disaster.”
“The fate of your becoming an immortal!”
The man in the mirror added another sentence.
“Become an immortal?”
“Can I practice Taoism and become an immortal?”
This was the second time Xiang Shaolong heard the man in the mirror mention the word “immortal”. The first time, he didn’t care too much, but the second time, the man in the mirror was sure that he could become an immortal, and he immediately became concerned about it.
“Mr. Bai, please elaborate.”
He bowed forward and asked.
Traveling back in time to the Warring States Period, he spent some time in the Zhao Kingdom’s court and went in and out of wealthy families for many days. Therefore, his behavior was very different from that of the previous gangsters, and he knew some etiquette.
“There are three immortal islands in the East China Sea, named Penglai, Fangzhang, and Yingzhou. I got a chance in Penglai in later generations and came into contact with the immortal way. But my practice went wrong and I ended up like this…” The man in the mirror laughed at himself, “I want to be successful. If you want to be an immortal, you have to go through the tribulation of becoming an immortal. My tribulation should be on you. After teaching you and making you become a talented person, I guess I can truly become an immortal. And your catastrophe should be on Zhao Li…”
“Zhao Li is the one standing in the way of your becoming an immortal!”
He wasn’t lying at all. He taught Xiang Shaolong to become a talented person and made Xiang Shaolong the pioneer of the king. By stirring up the timeline, he could reap the benefits of being a fisherman and overcome the tribulation and become a golden immortal. And Xiang Shaolong’s calamity indeed lies with “Zhao Li”, and “he” is the obstacle to Xiang Shaolong’s becoming an immortal.
There’s no need to hide some things, just say them. Anyway, under his hint, Xiang Shaolong will only go in the direction he set. Everything is under control.
“What’s standing in the way of becoming an immortal?”
Xiang Shaolong was shocked.
“Yes, it is the obstacle that stands in the way of your becoming an immortal. You have already been defeated by him twice. If you fail for the third time, you will really lose the chance to become an immortal.”
The man in the mirror said coldly.
“But I really have no confidence in dealing with Zhao Li, even if I learn the internal skills you taught me, Mr. Bai. And if I fail once, the consequences will be too serious…”
Xiang Shaolong said nervously.
Now he is not afraid of losing to Zhao Li for the third time. What he is afraid of is losing the chance to become an immortal. He understands this sentence. He also regretted why he was defeated twice by Zhao Li without knowing it.
“It’s hard to defeat him one on one…”
“But you are Zhao Zheng’s imperial master now, and you are crushing Zhao with the tiger and wolf army of Qin. When the time comes, Zhao will immediately use ten thousand enemies, and you will fall into your hands. It is too stupid to fight alone!” Jing Jing The man in the middle said calmly: “Can one person defeat a million-strong army?”
As soon as he finished speaking, Xiang Shaolong was immediately relieved, with a proud smile on his face, “Mr. Bai, you are right. No matter how powerful Zhao Li is, he is just a native of the Warring States Period, and I am a time traveler from the future. Zhao Zheng Unifying the six countries, he doesn’t know…”
He beamed with pride about it.
Zhao Li defeated him, but so what. He grasped the general trend and the Qin State unified the world. In the future, the State of Zhao will inevitably decline, but he will flourish in the court of the State of Qin and become Zhao Zheng’s imperial master… Zhao Li will become his prisoner, just around the corner.
“That’s what it says. But you also have to be wary of it.”
“Although the ancients were not as knowledgeable as modern people, their wisdom does not lag behind modern people…”
The person in the mirror was silent for a while and warned.
“Sure enough, Mr. Bai is good to me…”
Xiang Shaolong heard this and nodded secretly.
Although he has little knowledge, he also has his own cleverness. If there is a person who treats him well and speaks nice things to him, he must be a terrible person with a knife hidden in his smile. But on the contrary, anyone who gives him a word or two from time to time is definitely a good mentor. The man in the mirror… undoubtedly belongs to the latter.
“Mr. Bai, don’t worry. Although Xiang Shaolong doesn’t study much, he also knows how to recharge his batteries. I will never attack Zhao Li easily until the right time comes.”
Xiang Shaolong made a promise.
The person in the mirror nodded slowly and looked at Xiang Shaolong with a hint of relief. It seems to be saying that children can be taught.
“Please also ask Mr. Bai to teach me internal skills…” Xiang Shaolong knelt down and kowtowed.
He was able to defeat Lian Jin entirely due to his brute strength. When it came to the exquisite swordsmanship, he was not as good as Lian Jin. However, he received military training in later generations and scientifically exercised his body, so his body was much stronger than that of the ancients. In addition, after time traveling, his physique had inexplicably strengthened a lot, and he was as strong as a calf.
But brute strength is brute strength after all, and at his point, it’s almost impossible to improve. As for internal skills, he had read some novels and knew that this was an internal skill that could increase his upper limit. In addition, according to what the man in the mirror said, you should first practice internal strength and then immortality. So it is conceivable that internal strength is the basic version of immortality.
“This is the Taoist Ziwu Gong…”
The man in the mirror spoke with his spiritual consciousness and told Xiang Shaolong.
When Master Ma taught him Ziwu Kung Fu, he once asked him not to leak this technique to anyone. But he later became a disciple of the Renjiao, and this Taoist practice was also included in the introductory exercises of the Renjiao. If he taught it to Xiang Shaolong, it would not be considered a violation of the agreement. Because Master Ma’s restraint comes from the founder of Quanzhen Longmen Sect. And he and Lu Dongbin were fellow disciples…
Lu Zu once preached to the Chongyang Patriarch.
Besides, Xiang Shaolong is just one of his chess pieces, and after being used, it ceases to exist. Don’t worry too much about whether you teach or not.
“Thank you, Mr. Bai, for teaching me. Shaolong is very grateful.”
Xiang Shaolong realized the subtlety of this Ziwu Kung Fu, and immediately his face lit up and he thanked him.
“No need to…”
“Practice this skill first and see how it goes…”
The person in the mirror said.
