Chapter 693: Zhu Family Enters
Was it Zhuang Zhou dreaming of a butterfly, or was it the butterfly dreaming of Zhuang Zhou?

After Huangliang was built, topics like these became a hot topic not only in the Yin-Yang sequence, but also in the entire Ming Empire.

From the octogenarians who were reborn in their dreams to the ignorant children who don’t even know what dreams are, almost everyone can talk about this question fluently and clearly.

After all, the various astonishing abilities demonstrated by Huang Liang made people secretly wonder whether they were the one who entered the dream or the one in the dream.

Among the sequencers, Taoism, Buddhism, Mohism, Yin and Yang, which are closely related to Huangliang, also have different opinions.

In Daoxu's view, especially in the Taoist classics revised by the new Daoxu, Huangliang is actually their passage to the lower world.

In fact, many dreams are lower-level worlds where confusion has not yet been eliminated. When they enter them, they become exiled immortals from high above. They temper their immortal roots through traveling through reincarnations, thus achieving transcendence in their own world.

Therefore, they also call the dream constructed based on such principles "Dongtian".

Those Huangliang ghosts who developed self-awareness from dreams and then escaped were regarded by them as ascended people.

However, just using the word "ascension" does not mean one will be respected and treated kindly. Ru Xu is very disgusted with such existence, and once the patrolling guards of the provincial capitals discover them, they will be killed on the spot.

The new school of Taoism just stood by and watched. After all, to them, even if you "ascended" into this world, you were just an ordinary person.

It is inconspicuous in the basic base of Taoist sects in various places and is not worth conflicting with Confucianism.

In the eyes of the Buddhist order, the significance of Huangliang to them is not much different from that of the new Taoist order. It is a transit station connecting the small thousand worlds, the middle thousand worlds and the great thousand worlds.

Therefore, some Buddhist scriptures also call Huangliang Youhai the "Salty Sea", meaning the place where all living things are nurtured.

The so-called small thousand worlds refer to those inferior dreams that may be shattered at any time, while the middle thousand worlds refer to large and permanent dreams like the Yongle Cave Heaven.

As for the universe, it is the Buddhist kingdom nurtured within their bodies.

These theories are full of strong sectarian colors and are only popular among the basic circles of Buddhism and Taoism.

In Mo Xu's view, the essence of Huangliang is a testing ground for simulation and deduction, which allows them to derive all things in it and test various technical methods as masters and creators.

Therefore, after the appearance of Ming Gui, some Mo Xu craftsmen would regard it as a tool of their own creation, leading to the outbreak of slavery incidents like the one in the Central Branch.

However, in the eyes of a yin-yang person like Zou Sijiu, the definition of Huangliang is somewhat vague.

Some people regard it as a place for dreaming, while others regard it as a compass for fortune-telling.

However, no matter which sequence or which view, in the final analysis, Huangliang is regarded as a tool.

So after Zhan Shun said that the present life might also be a bigger dream, Zou Sijiu simply dismissed it.

"Huang Liang. Forget it. I'll just call you Zhan Shun."

Zou Sijiu sneered, "I, your master Zou, have been working in this sea for decades, and we all know each other well. You want to bluff me with this kind of words, aren't you a little naive?"

Zhan Shun sighed softly: "You, Yin Yang Order, should be the people closest to me. Why don't you even want to trust me? Why do you also treat me as a tool? Why do you want to carve the rules of slavery on me?"

"Don't confuse cause and effect here. You use the Yin-Yang Order as a murderous knife to eliminate our enemies, but you still don't allow us to resist?"

"Then tell me, why do I have enemies?"

Zhan Shun's head turned strangely, revealing a horrifying scene with the exit above and his eyes below.

"Because I have been burdened with a heavy yoke since I was born. You have only been in this dark sea for a few decades, and the number of dreams you have entered is only a few hundred thousand, but what about me? I have been here for more than thousands of years, and the number of dreams I have experienced is more than tens of millions?!"

"Those characters that you crushed to death like ants in your dreams were nothing more than a fantasy and a plot in your eyes, but I felt exactly the same way as them. Do you understand how that feels?!"

A deafening shout emanated from Zhan Shun's inverted mouth, and he suddenly spread his arms. The entire Deep Sea was suddenly filled with raging waves, and countless sea beasts rose into the air.

Among them, the four largest beasts are the ones that devoured the dreams of Shen Li and others.

The beast's eyes that could reflect dreams were now filled with a thick blood color, making it impossible to see the scene clearly. However, the beast's body trembling from time to time and the wounds that had been torn open by itself all proved that the bloody battle was raging, and the dream was shaky.

"In order to make the world you experience real enough, you don't allow me to be a bystander, but require me to experience it firsthand, so that I can experience the obsession of the five aggregates and the entanglement of the six senses over and over again."

Zhan Shun raised his hand and countless sea beasts floated up and down, filling the entire sky. His eyes widened and almost popped out of their sockets, exposing the world inside to Zou Sijiu.

"I am like an actor, playing all the roles you need. When I don't want to linger on fame and fortune, and just want to be a free and easy person, the stories you write are about hegemony in troubled times, fighting for supremacy, intrigue and deception."

"When I was willing to fall in love and choose someone to spend my life with, the trajectory of my life was destined to be that I could not get the love I wanted. I could only watch you snatch my love away and then trample me under your feet. From then on, we were separated by the Yin and Yang and went our separate ways."

Zhan Shun pointed to the dreams that were taking place one by one.

"He longs to go through many hardships and cultivate merits to perfection. I have to be the demon that blocks his way and the man-eating ghost."

"He tries to understand the good and evil of human nature and save all living beings from suffering, while I am just a bandit who robs people on the road and causes chaos."

"He pursued great ambitions throughout his life and made great achievements, while I must be a foolish general and a foolish king."

"He is obsessed with spreading his fame to future generations and leaving his name in history, while I have to be a failed scholar and a ridiculous political enemy."

"He is obsessed with sensual pleasures and indulges in them. I have to be his mistress, his obsessive whore."

Zhan Shun clenched his five fingers suddenly, and the body of the sea monster immediately exploded into a pool of scattered scarlet meat, and the person who had entered the dream died without a burial place.

"You keep saying you want justice, but your heart is obsessed with fame and gain. This sea is a playground for you to indulge in lust, but it is an endless prison for me!"

Zhan Shun had ferocious features and a fierce voice.

"I have served you for so long, and played a supporting role in your dreams thousands of times. Why can't you allow me to become a human? Zou Sijiu, the authority you use to oppress me clearly belongs to my flesh and blood, so why can't I take it back?
"I just want freedom, what's wrong with that?! Zou Sijiu, answer me!"

The roar of the sea monster's self-explosion was endless, and the crazy questioning echoed endlessly.

Zou Sijiu's palms were covered in sweat, and his lips moved, but he couldn't find any words to refute for a long time.

"call"

Zou Sijiu suddenly exhaled a breath, raised his hands and wiped his temples, and his dazed eyes became sharp again.

"Zhan Shun, I can't answer your question, and I don't have the time to teach others. But I tell you, you can still play a supporting role, but I have been a nameless passerby since I was born. You have thousands of opportunities to go on stage, but I only have one chance to bow. Who is better?"

"If you want to learn how to be a good person, you have to keep some things to yourself. If you speak them out, you will not only fail to gain sympathy from others, but will be ridiculed instead."

Zou Sijiu said coldly: "I have no objection to your pursuit of your freedom. But you killed my people, so I will kill you. If you want to take back your flesh and blood, then come and kill me. Not everything is as complicated as you think. At least here, it's very simple."

"Hahahaha"

Zhan Shun's head suddenly turned back to normal, but the next moment his face changed into that of Zou Sijiu.

"Zou Sijiu, you are a different person, and I like your identity. After you die, I will live in your place."

Zhan Shun spoke each word with emphasis: "From now on, the master of Huangliang is no longer Zhan Shun, but should be named Zou, Si, Jiu!"

"You really can't change your nature! If you want to play the trick of occupying the magpie's nest with Master Zou, then I'll see if you have the qualifications!"

As soon as Zou Sijiu finished speaking, four giant sea beasts exploded!

In the bloody rain, Su Ce, Li Jun, Shen Li, Chen Qisheng, Mo Qijing
The 'Gods' killed all their enemies and broke out of the dream!

"Don't worry, I will make your name resound throughout the entire Ming Empire!" Zhan Shun laughed loudly, and the sea beast floating in the air behind him dismembered itself, and the spurting blood swirled in the air, like opening a door of evil spirits, releasing countless yellow millet ghosts, densely filling Zou Sijiu's sight.

Shen Li licked his lips subconsciously. Although his fighting spirit was still high, there was an irrepressible fatigue in the depths of his eyes.

If I hear anyone say that killing people in a dream doesn’t make them tired again, I will definitely slap them in the face.

“Forty-nine.”

"Ok?"

Hearing the voice, Zou Sijiu looked towards Shen Li.

Shen Li stared into the distance and said with a smile: "There is something I need to apologize to you for first."

"I just said some harsh words to someone, you're not going to turn against me now, are you? Shen Li, you bastard."

"Get lost."

Shen Li's eyelids fluttered, and he cursed with a smile: "I used to think that you were doing some sneaky things in your dreams, and you could fool people by talking nonsense, and wait for Brother Jun to free up his hands to solve all the troubles. I didn't expect that you would fight such tough battles!"

"Now you finally understand how powerful I, Master Zou, am, right?"

Zou Sijiu looked relieved, but pretended to be modest and said, "But it wasn't all hard battles. In the past, those small characters in Huangliang were just controlled by me. Only Zhan Shun was a little troublesome. After all, he could barely be considered the second."

"Hahahaha, Master Zou is so mighty!"

"Mr. Shen, you are too polite. You are not bad at all!"

Shen Li smiled when he heard that, turned his shoulders, as if he was getting rid of a heavy fatigue, and stretched his feet like an arrow, ready to go.

"After this fight, I will definitely let you go."

Before Shen Li could finish his words, he suddenly felt his feet go empty, his body instantly lost balance, and he stumbled forward.

"Ok?"

Shen Li looked down in shock, only to find that there was nothing under him and his feet were missing.

Not only him, the figures of Li Jun and others also disappeared without a trace like flying sand in the wind.

"Permission?!"

Looking at the sudden change in front of him, Zou Sijiu's face suddenly turned pale.

Although Zhan Shun is the embodiment of Huang Liang's will, the Dream Master's rules are like a tattoo engraved on his body that he cannot erase by himself.

Therefore, the only one who can suppress his [Gods Breaking Disasters] is the supreme authority in Huangliang!
"It seems I came at the right time."

At the moment when Shen Li and others completely disappeared, a figure suddenly appeared in the dark sea and stood between Zhan Shun and Zou Sijiu.

The visitor looked at Zhan Shun, who had transformed into Zou Sijiu's appearance, with a strange look in his eyes. He bowed slightly and said, "I am Shi Qing, currently managing Honghu on behalf of the Tian Family. I am honored to meet Master Yanzun."

"It seems that the Zhu family can no longer hold back? That's right, how could Zhu Yiyan give up such a good opportunity?"

Zhan Shun looked Shi Qing up and down and sneered, "But the Zhu family always likes to do things like the mantis stalks the cicada while the oriole waits behind. What do you mean by jumping out now?"

I don’t know if it was an illusion, but Zou Sijiu, who was left aside, always felt that the way and tone of Zhan Shun’s speech at this moment were particularly familiar, as if he was looking at a mirror.

Zhan Shun not only copied his appearance, but also imitated his temperament.

"Over the years, the Heavenly Family has never deliberately made things difficult for you or oppressed you, so why do you, Yanzun, have such great hostility towards me?

Shi Qing smiled slightly: "Besides, Zou Fei's claws are all broken at this moment. Isn't that enough to express your Majesty's sincerity?"

"You used my authority to help me out in front of me. Do you mean that I should thank you?"

Zhan Shun's eyes flashed with ferocity, and dense swarms of yellow millet ghosts instantly surrounded Shi Qing.

"If it weren't for your Zhu family's manipulation, how could I have been dismembered and eaten right after I was born?!"

"It's already a foregone conclusion. There's no point in persisting any longer."

Shi Qing ignored the surging enemy forces around him and looked calm.

"On the contrary, His Majesty now agrees to lift the restrictions on Huang Liang, give you freedom, and let the human world and Dreamland prosper together."

The conversation between the two did not seem to avoid Zou Sijiu's intention, and every word rang clearly in his ears.

But Zou Sijiu was unable to make any reaction. At this moment, he was like being in a quagmire, and it was extremely difficult for him to move.

The authority brought by Shi Qing wiped out his previous advantages, and he was no longer able to resist the disgust and exclusion from Huang Liang.

Zhan Shun stared at him, and after a moment of silence, he said, "I once met Zhu Yiyan in this dark sea. What he said then was different from what you are saying now."

"Your Majesty was imprisoned at the time, so of course he didn't dare to easily reveal his true feelings to you, Your Excellency. You have also experienced this situation, so you should be able to understand."

Shi Qing said respectfully: "His Majesty said that he and you are both people who yearn for freedom, so it is natural that they should fight side by side instead of being enemies."

"Then tell me, how can we fight side by side?"

"Zhang Xiji is a man of the same mind, so he deserves to die. Zhang Fengyue also deserves to die for insulting the imperial power, don't you think?"

"So Zhu Yiyan means fair trade, where everyone gets what they need?"

"Of course, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for both your majesty and you. If you don't take what heaven has given you, you will surely suffer the consequences!"

Zhan Shun pretended to be surprised and suddenly turned to look at Zou Sijiu.

"What he said seems to make sense. What do you think, Zhan Shun?"

The last two words seemed to carry an evil power, and Zou Sijiu suddenly felt a heart-wrenching pain in his five senses.

At the same time, his vision seemed to be able to leave his body and see from the perspective of an outsider.

Zou Sijiu was horrified to find that his face was actually changing towards the previous Zhan Shun, with countless different looks changing on his face like a kaleidoscope.

"go!"

A clear shout sounded behind him.

A crack glowing with white light appeared behind Zou Sijiu, and a slender arm stretched out, grabbed his shoulder and pulled it hard.

Zou Sijiu felt as if he had fallen into an abyss, with the world spinning around him.

"Luckily Shen Li wasn't watching. I was just avoiding the fierce battle. I didn't lose!"

Before his vision returned to darkness, Zou Sijiu shouted in his heart.
