Chapter 1739: 'Nothing' and 'Something'

The Mohist "Jiu" and "Yu" involve time and space, and in "Jiu" and "Yu", time and space are divided into countless time elements.

Zhang Xuezhou felt that the 129,600 mirrors seemed to be scanning every part of his body, and most likely dividing him into small parts of various time elements, and then realizing the conversion of time and space.

"This is wrong. I clearly activated this magic weapon, but it didn't achieve the desired effect!"

Standing in front of the mirror, Zhang Xuezhou felt dazed. It was not until he heard Gongsun Hong's unwilling voice that he became a little more sober.

"Is there any way to control it?" Zhang Xuezhou asked.

"It seems to be looking for something, but I don't know what it wants to find." Gongsun Hong said: "If it continues like this, my magic power will be exhausted!"

"You mean this device needs to find a landing point, but you can't control it to find that landing point?" Zhang Xuezhou asked.

"Almost, but I think there are other requirements," Gongsun Hong said, "I have activated this magic weapon, see if you can control it!"

"Your magic might repel me!"

"I have forcibly given up my body's protective instinct. You can use my body to sense and control it!"

If there was no other way, Gongsun Hong would not give up the control of his own body.

At this time, he almost let Zhang Xuezhou borrow his body to gain the same perception.

If Zhang Xuezhou practiced puppetry, his behavior would be the best state for making puppets. If Zhang Xuezhou was good at absorbing the magic power, his whole body would be abandoned by this kind of self-abandonment and lose the ability to fight back.

This was an extremely risky action for a monk, but Gongsun Hong had no other choice.

Of course, he was glad that Zhang Xuezhou was behind him. If only Li Shaojun was accompanying him, Gongsun Hong felt that he would not do this.

Gongsun Hong's trust in Zhang Xuezhou is indeed different from Li Shaojun's. Li Shaojun believes that Zhang Xuezhou has a low character, while Gongsun Hong thinks that Zhang Xuezhou is a rare young gentleman, and his character is as reassuring as Dong Zhongshu's.

With this thought in mind, he also threw away his body's protection, allowing Zhang Xuezhou's magic power to wrap around and invade his body, thus gaining similar perceptions as his.

"boom!"

If before there were only countless densely packed small dots in the mirror, and people could clearly see that it was their own shrunken mirror image, when Zhang Xuezhou's magic power invaded Gongsun Hong's body, he only felt that the soul in his mind was instantly split and divided almost like an explosion.

As Li Shaojun said, this is 129,600 copies.

The division of the soul brought about quick calculations, and also allowed Zhang Xuezhou to clearly perceive that he had been divided into so many small parts.

As long as there was a real coordinate, Zhang Xuezhou felt that his body would be transformed into 129,600 time elements, thus crossing the spatial distance without causing any damage.

As Gongsun Hong said, they were indeed lacking something at the moment.

Gongsun Hong knew that teleportation required a landing point, but how the landing point was produced was something Gongsun Hong found difficult to understand, so he had to ask others for help.

"Light and shadow?"

"Using holes to form images?"

"To use this treasure, you need to find a light source. Only after locking onto the light source can you travel to its vicinity!"

"There are not many light sources in this underwater mechanical city and secret area!"

"Li Shaojun's Night Pearl, burning objects, and array purple gems!"

……

Many thoughts kept popping up in my mind.

Zhang Xuezhou did not fully understand the principle of 'Jiuyu', but he managed to figure out how to use it.

If Gongsun Hong had enough magic power, he could even try to travel through time using Li Shaojun as the coordinate to see if he could suddenly appear next to the other party.

But they might only have one chance to try it. Feeling the exhaustion of the mana in Gongsun Hong's body, Zhang Xuezhou knew that it would be difficult for Gongsun Hong to activate this treasure again. He stared at the 129,600 mirrors. The light of the mirrors began to ignore obstacles and penetrate the underground mechanical room, allowing Zhang Xuezhou to see far away.

When he saw the purple light, he was even in a trance for a moment.

"gone!"

The purple light confused his mind and thinking. Zhang Xuezhou didn't dare to stare at it for long, or penetrate the secret realm to look for other light sources.

He exclaimed, and Gongsun Hong's eyes suddenly widened. Li Shaojun was also swaying in a trance.

A purple mist floated by, and the three of them felt a trance in their hearts.

By the time my vision became somewhat clearer, the surroundings had changed.

But before Gongsun Hong and the others could be surprised, Gongsun Hong only felt someone in the hall slowly turning around.

"Secretary, we haven't seen each other for two and a half hours. I'm very happy to see you again!"

"Let me out, I don't want to see you!"

Dong Zhongshu turned around again, and Gongsun Hong's joy turned into coldness all over his body.

The first time he met Dong Zhongshu, he was standing in front of the mountain gate blocking the way. The second time he met Dong Zhongshu, his figure was blurry and Gongsun Hong had to follow him. When he met Dong Zhongshu for the third time, Gongsun Hong had already seen the Xuanhua Tower of Jiangxia State.

The impact this time was far more serious than the previous two times. Before that, Gongsun Hong was able to tell the falsehood.

This time, just as he finished his angry words, Gongsun Hong felt that his memory of recent times was rapidly regressing and disappearing.

As time went by, he was already sitting in Xuanhua Tower chatting with Dong Zhongshu.

"As long as I can return to Chang'an City, your return to Chang'an City is just around the corner," said Dong Zhongshu.

"How difficult is that?" Gongsun Hong said helplessly: "I was just kicked out by Your Majesty on the front foot. There is no way Your Majesty could invite me back to Chang'an on the back foot."

"That's true," Dong Zhongshu nodded and replied, "It seems that we have to give up on this matter!"

"Zhongshu you..."

Gongsun Hong originally wanted to say that he was just being humble and polite, but he didn't expect Dong Zhongshu to agree with him.

This made him feel heartbroken. He felt that after retiring and returning home, he could only wait for death in peace. Even Dong Zhongshu could not help him.

A feeling of frustration surged into his heart, and Gongsun Hong was suddenly immersed in all kinds of gains and losses and unable to extricate himself.

"Dongfang Shuo, Grandpa is not afraid of you. Let's fight to the death. You pinch my neck, I pinch your neck, let's see who strangles the other to death first, let's decide the winner in one round!"

Li Shaojun met Zhang Xuezhou again, and he quickly responded based on the method Zhang Xuezhou instructed.

"Brother Li, I heard that your technique between life and death can allow you to die ninety-nine times?"

When the inquiring voice came, Li Shaojun felt as if many of his memories had faded away, and he found himself back at Fengxize.

The familiar swamp of Feng Xize came into view, as well as the puddles he had dug himself and Zhang Xuezhou’s company.

Many things seem like fantasy, but the real Li Shaojun has never left Fengxi Lake.

“What a joke! I am the descendant of Li Er, the founder of Taoism. My ancestor could break all laws with one sword. How could I be fooled by your illusions? Tao can be spoken of, but it is not always Tao. Name can be named, but it is not always a name. “Nothing” is the beginning of heaven and earth, and “something” is the mother of all things…”

Li Shaojun kept muttering and reciting scriptures.

Taoist scriptures were abstruse and difficult to understand, and he had never understood them in the past, but Li Shaojun knew that if he was not in imminent death but was in trouble, only these Taoist scriptures could save him.

He recited slowly and in a low voice, and for the first time he felt that the scripture seemed to come alive, allowing him to begin to understand the truth in this trance, avoiding the invasion of time reversal brought about by spatial displacement, and also allowing his memory to begin to flow back, constantly reviving the lost memories.
