Although historically, the royal family surnamed Li finally successfully completed the ownership of this imperial power more than ten years after the establishment of the Zhou Dynasty, but then because of the chaos of the world in those ten years, there were many unsafe hidden dangers.

For example, the contradictions between ethnic groups, the contradictions between classes, and even the rise of feudal towns caused by the Anshi Rebellion, which occurred more than 60 years later, are all caused by the accumulation of contradictions and conflicts in those more than ten years.

Of course, this is also most directly related to the loss of the spirit of seeking upward governance in the late Tang Dynasty Xuanzong and the increasing corruption of politics, but the degree of moderation makes it dominant and the tail is not lost, which is the most fundamental source of the Tang royal family's hidden worries.

Because since Wu Zetian succeeded to the throne, the signs of local feudal town secession were really established, which was the source of the cause of the final Anshi Rebellion, and the Anshi Rebellion was also the focus of the Tang Dynasty's civil war for dominance, the turning point of the Tang Dynasty's prosperity and decline, and the culprit that prompted the Tang Dynasty to begin to appear in the situation of feudal town secession.

Li Zhi does not think that he has noble sentiments, let alone the ability and responsibility to change the course of history, but he has the feeling of gratitude for the royal family surnamed Li after his rebirth, and the memory of the hundreds of thousands of lives caused by several struggles for power and profit within the ruling class.

Even if there was no deliberate co-optation by Tang Gaozong later, he wanted to save as many people as possible from unprovoked disasters without changing the course of history.

There was also a series of foreign wars in it, and before he was reborn, he was accustomed to seeing foreign forces, and he developed his angry mentality at that time.

Finally reborn once, he really wanted to take advantage of the strength of the Tang Dynasty to bully the foreign forces that caused a huge psychological shadow to him in his previous life.

This is a strong national belief that exists in the bloodline, and at the same time, it is also a hateful psychology of being a powerful cultivator, which is the will of the bloodline that cannot be changed even if it is reborn a few times.

Sun Simiao didn't know what was going on in his heart, and thought that he was still struggling with the crises he might encounter in the future: "There's nothing to worry about, for you, as a cultivator, this is also a responsibility, and you need to stand up." ”

Li Zhi was disheartened when he heard this, and then said with a smile: "Master Ma, I admit this truth, but I always have to tell some of the relevant secrets, right?" Otherwise, I don't even know what kind of existence exists in the environment, and I will always be a little reluctant to do things if I suddenly come up with any responsibility! ”

Sun Simiao laughed, "I know you want to ask for some benefits." But the reason why they didn't want to tell you earlier was because they didn't think it was time yet, and he wasn't strong enough to deal with more dangers. It's just that I didn't expect you to leak the Dao Law inheritance in advance, so I'll go back and explain the process of this matter clearly. ”

Inadvertently, he exposed the secret of his original plan, but when he came to his senses, he had already seen what Li Zhiyi meant.

"Why is Ma Ye able to walk freely within the forbidden forces of the Hidden Gate?" Li Zhi did not chase and fight because of this, and the purpose of this statement was to tactfully twist the routine.

"Would you believe that I have never entered the Hidden Door? In fact, even if I have some favors on them, and I have received extremely precious cultivation resources to forcibly improve my cultivation, it is still a place where I am grounded! ”

Sun Simiao's words surprised Li Zhi, and the fear and importance of the hidden door in his heart rose again.

"How can I say it, although that kind of cultivation peripheral forces are not even half of the strength of any sect in the cultivation realm, but in the cultivation world, it is an unheard of existence. My location belongs to the periphery of this existence, that is, the category of the outer gate, and the outer edge forces of Xiuzhen also have the theory of the inner and outer gates, and the outer gate did not have the authority to inherit the complete Dao law before, but it has changed in the past two years. Regarding the inner door control above the outer door, it requires the true element in the body to open the secret passage, and it requires the cooperation of complex passwords and spells, it is said that entering the cultivation realm requires a specific person to introduce it, and there is a huge risk! ”

"It seems that some loopholes in the cultivation realm are being exploited?"

"You don't have to talk to me, I won't hide what I should tell you, the key is that I can't know! Moreover, the place where the Hidden Gate resides is just the use of a certain spatial gap that has been artificially recreated, and it has a very different nature from the cultivation realm. That is to say, the cultivation realm and the world here are the real sense of the alien space, the time and space naturally formed between heaven and earth, with its own law of material cycle change, its prohibition belongs to the most direct evolution under the will of heaven, perhaps only immortals have the ability to use a certain coincidence and chance blessing, luckily from the natural prohibition to find a line of passage. ”

"Since there is a difference in time and space, is it not that all the specific behaviors, phenomena, and substances there are different from this, such as the difference in time?"

"You're right, and that's the only specific secret I've gotten, which is time. It is said that there is a tenfold acceleration in the place where we are, and ten years in the cultivation realm, only one year has passed in the intervening period, don't ask me why, I can't give an explanation. ”

Li Zhi's face changed drastically, because this news had subverted his original preconceived notions.

Regarding the perception of time in myths and legends, he still obtained it from "Journey to the West", based on "Tang Dynasty Western Regions" and folklore.

In "Journey to the West", the expression of time is one day in heaven and one year on earth, which shows that there is a difference between time in heaven and earth, and this heaven should also include an extension of heaven, such as the west heaven of Rulai, Luojia Mountain of Guanyin, and the dragon palace at the bottom of the sea.

There are expressions about time in many places in Journey to the West, such as Sun Wukong lived in the Lingtai Fangcun Mountain of the Bodhi Patriarch for seven days, and the patriarch said that it has been seven years in the world, that is, one day in the sky and one year in the world.

But later, if you come, you will go down to the lotus platform, and the Buddhas, go out of the mountain gate, and see Ah Ao, Ka Ye Yin Manjushri, and Puxian to see. The second Bodhisattva bowed to the Buddha and said, "Bodhisattva beast, how long has it been since you descended the mountain?" Manjushri said, "It's been seven days." Rulai said: "Seven days in the mountains, thousands of years in the world." ”

According to the saying that one day in heaven is one year on earth, seven days in the west should be seven years on earth. But the time of Rulai Xitian is even more outrageous, according to Rulai, the seven days of the West Heaven are thousands of years old in the world.

Perhaps the various settings of "Journey to the West" are not as rigorous and self-consistent as imagined, and sometimes even contradict themselves.

The ancients wrote books, especially this "Journey to the West", which could not be as strict and reasonable as the modern times, but one day in heaven and one year on earth is fundamentally different from ten years in the cultivation world, and its nature is opposite, which is what Li Zhi feels incredible.

"Why, can't accept this serious difference in time for a while? I was the same at the time, but I was told that I would see it myself later. In the future, I personally deduce that perhaps our time consciousness is based on the time we are in, and we have an interpretation and cognition of the cultivation realm, and it is very likely that we can only perceive the origin of the reason when we are in it. ”

"Perhaps the difference in reference must have caused an asymmetry in time." Li Zhi had come to his senses in an instant, and for him, the existence of the cultivation realm had caused a huge change in his cognition, and some details had become ancillary, so he no longer dwelled on such issues.

He smiled: "It seems that we will eventually set foot in the space of the cultivation realm, and I won't force you to explain more, I'm sure where you are, and there is no one to answer the question of how to enter in the future." ”

Sun Simiao smiled back, "That's true, but I don't have such a chance, it's good to stay in this world, and it should be no problem to live another hundred and fifty years!" ”

Li Zhi was noncommittal, "That's not necessarily!" Well, they've been waiting for us for a long time, and it's a bit rude not to show up again. ”

He didn't want to give Sun Simiao some more psychological burdens, sometimes the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment, and he didn't plan to bring him too much psychological pressure before he found a completely solution to Sun Simiao's realm.

The two of them returned to the main hall of Yulin Temple, and saw that everyone was waiting, but they were not idle, after all, many of them knew the existence of the previous Jiyuan Dao Master, and what kind of opportunity did he use to advance to the Grandmaster Realm, which was the question that everyone around him was most eager for.
