Mr. Xu sat under the pavilion in the courtyard.

On the stone table under the pavilion, there was a guqin, a crane leg, a pot of nectar, a set of pancakes and several auxiliary ingredients.

The zither is named Raoliang, made of thousands of years of pine wood. It is one of the top ten famous zithers. The crane is named Dazhong. It was caught from the south of the city three years ago and kept in the yard.

Since Xiao Jinyan left, Mr. Xu closed the Jianghu Restaurant and found an excuse to let Xu Piaomiao go back to the Hundred Flowers Palace in the East China Sea.

He is waiting for someone.

It's the third day.

The hexagram does not make a fortune for oneself.

Mr. Xu has never taught himself divination since he learned art, but two days ago, he made a fortune for himself for the first time.

Li Gua.

Mr. Xu felt that the time was almost over, so he split the guqin, started to burn the crane legs. Soon, the fragrance in the yard was filled with fragrance.

The oil dripped on the crane's legs onto the pine wood, making a sizzling sound, which made the pine wood more fragrant. Mr. Xu brushed a layer of nectar. After this, the crane's legs gradually turned burnt yellow, making people's index fingers move.

Burning a piano and cooking a crane is a great thing.

Of course, elegant things are done by elegant people.

Suddenly, an old man came into the pavilion.

The old man didn't speak and sat directly opposite Mr. Xu.

Mr. Xu seemed to have expected that the other party would come, and he didn't say anything. He cut a thin piece of crane meat from the crane's legs with a spatula, put it on the pancake, picked up another green onion, dipped it in the sauce, rolled it into the pancake, and handed it to the visitor.

The old man took it, put it in his mouth, and took a bite.

Mr. Xu asked with a smile, "How does it taste?"

The old man squirted, "The salty smell is not enough."

Mr. Xu pushed the salt and pepper over, and said slowly, "Over the years, I have been clear-hearted and have no desires. I have forgotten the taste you like, so I will make it myself."

The old man made a new portion, put it in his mouth, chewed it slowly, and breathed a long breath, "It was still the original recipe, the familiar taste. However, since you have already divined a divination for yourself, you should know the purpose of my visit."

Mr. Xu smiled.

"I thought you were consistent with my goal, but I was wrong."

The old man snorted coldly, "You almost ruined my big deal."

"The man has left."

"You shouldn't give him those three copper coins, and you shouldn't divine him. Before you do this, you should think of the consequences."

Mr. Xu did not refute. He raised his head, looked at this close friend who had been many years ago, and asked, "You killed Danqingsheng, right?"

The old man said, "He drew something he shouldn't have drawn, and he didn't predict the crash, so he was still dead."

Mr. Xu's face was calm, "The moment he died, I guessed it was you. But I didn't expect that you would come and kill me."

The old man laughed, "You are over 60 years old. There is no difference between dying now and dying later. There is no place to miss in this world."

Mr. Xu didn't think so.

"This? There are 400 million people and millions of creatures in the world, all destroyed by your decision. Wouldn't you feel guilty?"

The old man sneered, "If you don't break, you won't establish. This world is already ill, terminally ill, greed, selfish, and war, leaving this civilization without any vitality. When the way of heaven comes, I will destroy all this and then rebuild a higher civilization."

Mr. Xu looked at him and remembered that several years ago, it was the person in front of him who had stood on the top of Mount Tai and made great ambitions, "I want to protect this world with the sword in my hand." However, now he is like a different person.

"A higher civilization?" Mr. Xu mocked her face, "It's just your selfishness."

The old man said, "You don't understand me. I don't need you to understand. This new civilization human being will share the same idea, which I call the "cloud brain". There will be no secrets between people. All thoughts and achievements of civilization will be common and transparent for every individual, and everyone's goals are the same. There is no war or conflict of interest between people. According to my deduction, in just three hundred years, it can reach its current level. Five hundred years later, the new civilization will dominate a higher universe."

Mr. Xu smiled and said, "It sounds very good. But you don't have the right to make decisions for others. Who do you think you are? Ancestor Hongmeng? Or Buddha? Or God? No matter what kind of world you create, you are a person after all, unable to overcome your human nature. With seven emotions and six months, this will definitely determine that after the coming of heaven, you will not be able to fulfill your words."

The old man ate another piece of crane meat.

Mr. Xu continued, "Just like the food in front of you, if you have a plate of crane meat and a plate of cabbage, you will choose the former without hesitation."

The old man said, "In my eyes, treat everyone equally."

Mr. Xu sneered, "There is a cabbage behind you, but since you arrived, you haven't even looked at it. Is this what you said to be equal?"

The old man was a little angry.

"With your friendship with me, I thought you would beg for mercy."

Mr. Xu said seriously, "No, I thought you would beg for mercy."

After saying that, he threw the nectar in front of the stone table on the ground. A gust of wind suddenly rolled up in the entire courtyard, dark clouds covered the sun, and fell into a darkness.

Seeing this, the old man remained calm, "The Xuanji Formation of Baihua Palace can't trap me."

Mr. Xu shook his head, "That may not be."

After saying that, a thunder fell from the sky and struck the old man. The old man was furious and suddenly stood up, grabbed the thunder and blasted it at Mr. Xu.

Mr. Xu disappeared into nothingness.

Mr. Xu's voice came from his ears, "If I were outside, I might not be your opponent, but since I have decided you will come, how can I not prepare some gifts?"

The old man stared at this world.

"Do you want to use yourself as the formation to trap me?" He snorted coldly, "Don't forget, I have seen all the formations of Baihua Palace back then."

Mr. Xu said, "People always have to leave some help for themselves."

"You have calculated that you will die today, so why bother to struggle without any hesitation?"

Mr. Xu's voice came from Xuwu, "If I don't give up, how could I be willing?"

The old man waved his hands, and his hands seemed to tear the entire space apart. Just as the space was cracking a gap, a thunder thunder passed through the gap and slashed straight towards the old man.

boom!

The old man was struck by lightning.

The clothes were charred.

He didn't move, and a hint of mocking appeared on the corner of his mouth, "What are the skills you have? Just use them together."

Mr. Xu did not answer.

The old man used his hand as a knife, with one sword horizontally and one vertically splitting the entire space into four and a half. In an instant, light shone everywhere, and a ball of green flames rushed towards the old man.

The old man did not hide, letting the flames cleanse, and his whole body was like a red-shaped soldering iron, emitting a dark red luster.

A meaty smell came out in the courtyard. Immediately, the taste was replaced by burnt smell.

Immediately afterwards, the temperature in the yard dropped sharply, and snowflakes floated in the sky. The snow fell on the old man's body, making a sizzling sound of heat.

Another thunder sound. The old man's body turned into a piece of black powder.

The dark clouds are gradually fading.

Mr. Xu appeared in the courtyard, looked at the powder in the pavilion, and shook his head, "Beyond the three realms, they are still physical mortals."

Suddenly someone said behind him, "Is that right?"

Then his neck tightened and his whole person was thrown into the air by the other party. It seemed that an invisible force would tie him up and he could not move.

The old man looked down on the world and stared at him coldly.

Mr. Xu showed a look of astonishment.

"The realm of heaven and man?"

Beyond the three realms, they are collectively called land gods, but according to the level of realms and different ways of practicing Taoism, they are divided into Vajra Realm, Void Realm, and Heavenly Man Realm. The Heavenly Man Realm is the highest realm outside the three realms. Going further up, is the Supreme? Heavenly Dao.

And there is only one supreme way of heaven in the world.

The old man asked, "How do you want to die?"

Today, Mr. Xu had already felt destined to die. When he heard these words, he couldn't help but sneer, "Whatever you want."

"What else should I say in my years of friendship?"

Mr. Xu sighed, "Director Li and I have deduced it many times, trying to stop the way of heaven from coming, but I didn't expect that the variable was you."

The old man said, "How can he, that idiot, understand my ambition?"

There are only a handful of people in this world who dare to call Li Chuntie an idiot, and this old man is naturally one of them.

The old man said again, "I will not kill you. I will destroy your body, collect your soul, and let you witness everything I do. Time will prove that I am right."

After saying that, a burnt smell came from Mr. Xu.

Mr. Xu only felt that inside his internal organs, it seemed to be roasted on the fire, just like the crane leg he had baked before.

Vitality gradually passed away from him.

The space of the Xuanji Formation began to gradually collapse, and the stone walls in the cave outside were still vaguely visible. Mr. Xu suddenly laughed.

There was a rumbling sound.

Xuan Ji's formation was broken.
