Gradually, Ye Chen forgot all the past, and the only thing he could not forget was his name. After that, Ye Chen fell into a deep sleep.
Ye Chen slowly opened his eyes, he looked at the scene in front of him, and slowly remembered his previous experience.
Now the place he was in was no longer the void before. There was lush grass and trees, and there was a small river gurgling not far away.
There were a few white clouds floating in the sky. Ye Chen saw that there were a few palaces faintly on the white clouds, but his eyesight was limited, after all, he couldn't see if the palace was real.
Ye Chen was leaning against a big tree at the moment, and pink petals were falling from the tree. He didn't know what kind of flower it was. It was so beautiful. Ye Chen calmed down as he watched the petals fall on the ground.
"Brother Ye Chen, please tell me here." A man's voice suddenly came, and Ye Chen couldn't tell where the voice came from.
At first he felt that the sound was far away, but when he listened carefully, he felt that the sound came from his own head.
"Who are you?" Ye Chen asked softly, "Why brought me here? Where are you?"
"When you meet, you know, Ye Chen only needs to stand up, and you can see where I am." This voice seemed to be magical, and Ye Chen stood up obediently after hearing it.
The moment he got up, the scenery in front of him suddenly changed. Before his body stood up completely, Ye Chen suddenly saw that the grass and sky in front of him disappeared.
Instead, there is an endless sea of blood, and the sea of blood is full of burning flames, and there are still faces in the flames.
The expressions on those faces were both painful and hideous, and Ye Chen felt the boundless resentment emanating from this sea of blood.
But this scene only lasted for a moment and disappeared. After Ye Chen stood up completely, the sea of blood turned into another scene.
The last thing Ye Chen saw was a small valley with birds singing and clear springs. In the middle of the valley, there was a small cottage. In the cottage, a man was sitting at the Eight Immortals table drinking tea. .
Perhaps feeling Ye Chen's arrival, the man turned his head with a smile and looked at Ye Chen.
Chapter 1397
Ye Chen took a closer look at the person sitting in the thatched cottage, and found that the person was indeed the Taoist he had seen in the small temple, but the Taoist had changed his clothes at this moment.
When the Taoist saw Ye Chen coming, he poured a cup of tea for the other tea cup in front of him, and then made a "please" gesture to Ye Chen, motioning Ye Chen to sit opposite him.
Although Ye Chen didn't know who this man was, he instinctively told him that this man definitely had no malice towards him, so he slowly walked into the thatched cottage and sat down.
"Little brother now knows who he is, where he came from, and where do you want to go?" When Ye Chen sat down, the Taoist asked directly.
However, Ye Chen still doesn't know his origin, so he can only shook his head, "I still don't know who I am or where I come from."
"But now I have a goal, and that is to follow Xuanzang to learn the scriptures. When I meet the Buddha, all my puzzles should have answers."
Ye Chen looked at the Taoist firmly, but the Taoist smiled, but he didn't comment on whether Ye Chen's goal was good or bad, which made Ye Chen a little bit uncomfortable with the Taoist attitude.
"By the way, where was that just now? How long did I stay there?" Ye Chen couldn't help but feel a little lingering in his heart when he thought of the void that he had been falling down just now.
"The Land of Nothingness." Taoist took a sip of tea and replied to Ye Chen, "That is a world I created. After passing there, monitoring your eyes and ears will lose your goal. I don't want outsiders to hear us Conversation."
Ye Chen looked at the Taoist in front of him in shock, "You mean, you created a world?"
"Yes, is there anything strange about this?" The Taoist looked at Ye Chen strangely, "Although most gods can't do this, it doesn't mean that no one can do it."
"You are a congenital god, right?" Ye Chen thought of the classification of gods in Journey to the West. He knew that if this person had such a great ability, he must not be an ordinary god.
"Do you still know the innate gods?" Taoist smiled and looked at Ye Chen, "I didn't expect you to really understand the world. That book should have given you a lot of help."
Ye Chen didn't want to talk too much about "Journey to the West". After all, this book seemed to him to be his biggest secret. Even if this Taoist knew the existence of this book, he didn't want to say too much.
"Then what happened to the corpse mountain and sea of blood that I saw when I stood up just now? That scene is too terrifying, shouldn't it be the picture of the underworld?" Ye Chen changed the subject.
The Taoist knew Ye Chen's thoughts, but did not continue to tell the story. Instead, he followed Ye Chen's words and said, "Yes, that is the picture of the underworld, but that is the eighteenth floor."
"How did you do it? It's amazing. When I sit down, it's a scene. When I get up halfway, it's another scene. When I stand up, it will become the current scene."
Taoist smiled, "It's just a small spell, do you want to learn it?"
"Forget it, it doesn't make much sense for me to learn this kind of magic. I live in an unsettling place all day. How can I have time to create such a phantom thing?"
"Haha, since I don't want to learn this, how about I teach you other spells?" Taoist put down the tea cup in his hand and looked at Ye Chen indifferently.
Chapter 1398
"This matter is not in a hurry for the time being, I still have a lot of things I want to ask you. If you don't ask these words to understand, I'm afraid I will have trouble sleeping and eating."
"But it's okay to ask, as long as I can answer, I will try my best to answer your doubts." The Taoist's face is always smiling, which makes Ye Chen feel as if he is facing his elders at ease.
Although I don't know why this Taoist insists on finding himself, Ye Chen faintly feels that there must be some secrets in this, even if the Taoist doesn't tell him now, he will come into contact with it in the future.
"Then I'm welcome." Ye Chen rolled up his sleeves and made a gesture of asking questions. "First ask the most basic question, which god are you? Why are you looking for me? ?"
The Taoist seems to have expected Ye Chen to ask this question a long time ago, so he did not panic at all, "My identity is temporarily kept secret, and you will know my purpose in the future. I can't tell you this for now."
Although Taoist didn't panic, he obviously didn't want to tell Ye Chen these two things.
"I said, you are not kind, let me ask questions at will, but I won't answer the first two questions. Isn't this asking for nothing?" Ye Chen was a little unhappy.
"Haha, but there are some things that you don't know are better than knowing. In fact, I am also protecting you. After all, if you really know my identity..."
The Taoist hesitated when he said that, Ye Chen was a little mad, "What would happen if I really knew?"
"I think if you really know my identity today, many gods, demons, and Buddhas will start chasing you. They will surely destroy your indestructible body and make you completely disappear in the Three Realms, even with me. I can't save you either."
"So terrible?" Ye Chen was startled, "It seems that your identity is really special. Forget it, I still don't ask."
"But it seems that my conjecture is not wrong. There is an upper limit on the attack intensity that the immortal body can withstand, and it is not completely immortal, right?" Ye Chen added.
"That's right, but if you can possess this body while also possessing powerful spells, I think no one in the Three Realms can do anything to you."
"I won't talk about things like spells. I don't have a big need for this kind of things. Anyway, there will be three people to protect in the future. Even if I learn it, there is no use."
"No." The Taoist shook his head. "The road to the west is no longer as simple as it is written in the book. This road is not just a route to learn from the scriptures. There is a deeper level behind the westward incident. thing."
"What is it?"
"I can't say, you can only discover by yourself. When will you find the thing behind the westbound journey, when will you be able to transcend the road and get the ultimate secret of everything."
"Then what's the secret in me?" Ye Chen couldn't wait to ask.
"Haha, you already know the ultimate secret of everything, are you still not satisfied?" Taoist smiled.
"Don't worry, your secret is just one of the smallest secrets in front of the ultimate secret. You will know what you should know, so don't worry too much."
"Okay." Ye Chen knew that this person should no longer provide him with any effective information today, so he had to ask himself one last question.
"When Guanyin attacked me that day, who was the god in the golden light that saved me?" Ye Chen stared at the Taoist eyes.
