The ancestor of the Styx said again: "Let the master control more than 400,000 great roads, how much have you learned?"

Qin Hong replied: "I only know some fur."

"I heard that Di Jun rarely gives advice to his disciples himself. Are you learning Taoism from Si You or Yan Long?"

"I learned from Yan Long. Yan Long is the son of Emperor Jun. He has six magic zither methods: one is mushroom head, two is Yifu, three is Pengming, four is Baimin, five is Jiankai, and six is ​​Hanging lacquer."

"No wonder, you listened to the Song of the Dead, but were not affected at all. Have you learned the Magic Piano Avenue? Can you play a song for me?"

"Senior, I don't have a piano in my hand."

"I give you a bone zither."

The ancestor of the Styx shook his hand and threw something.

Qin Hong reached out to take it, looked closely and found that it was a piano made of crystal white bones, and the strings seemed to come from dragon tendons.

The level of the piano is not too high, it is just equivalent to a ninth-level immortal weapon, and has not yet entered the divine level. Otherwise, the ancestor of the Styx might not be willing to give it to Qin Hong.

Qin Hong understood in his heart: "The Styx gave me the piano to me to verify my origin and see if I can play the Yanlong zither. If I can't play it, he might turn his back on me immediately!"

Qin Hong was not worried about this, because in the past, he was appointed as the chief Shi Kuang of the Immortal Yin Sect, and Shi Kuang was a high-ranking official in charge of the music of the Heavenly Court. He collected countless piano music throughout his life, almost covering all sects of immortals, demons, Confucians, Buddhism, and demons. Finally, through the Immortal Sound, he became an immortal emperor.

Although Qin Hong did not systematically master the Six Demon Songs of Yan Long, he also understood some of them, and it would be fine to play them easily for several hours.

So he placed the bone zither on his knees, pulsed the strings with his hands, and played them "ding ding gurgling".

The ancestor of the Styx closed his eyes and listened, and nodded gently to the rhythm while listening.

"No, not bad, indeed, I have mastered Di Jun's mental method and surpassed the level of the Immortal King. In the future, I will have the hope of advancing to the Immortal Emperor..."

"Qin Hong, don't leave, just stay here to realize the truth. I will play a few songs every year, and I will not listen to them in vain. I will give you a few "The Legend of the Styx" chapters, which are a tip for you!"

"Thank you, senior, it's a pity that I learned the rhythm incomplete."

"How much will it be, how much will it count."

So Qin Hong stayed here to realize the truth, occasionally playing a piece of music, and chatting with the ancestor of the Styx.

On this day, he spoke, "Senior, where did you get this black dragon under your seat?"

The ancestor of the Styx replied: "This is left by the Black Emperor. When the Black Emperor left in the past, the dragon did not follow him because of playfulness, but ended up falling into my hands. I was ready to train it and turn it into a ghost beast."

"Senior, has the Black Emperor left a backup plan in this world? Has he incarnated and stayed?"

“As far as I know, there should be no.”

"Strange, why didn't he leave his incarnation?"

"Because there is a difference between immortals and demons, the immortals are pure yang, and their aura rises gently, so they are unwilling to stay here. This is the lowest level in the Bahong Prefecture. Only the great emperor who practices the devil's way is willing to leave his incarnation."

"Oh, so that's it... No wonder Jade Emperor, Zhen Yuanzi, and Wangchuan left their incarnations. They are not pure immortal cultivators..."

After a moment of pause, Qin Hong asked again: "Senior, can you tell me carefully about the Bahong Field? How many field have you been to? Is there any difference between these field domains?"

The ancestor of the Styx pondered and replied: "I have only been to three phase domains. In addition to the eighth phase domain, I have also been to the sixth and seventh phase domains.

There are great differences between each phase domain!

The eighth phase domain is at the bottom, equivalent to a small world, with incomplete Taoism, only 90,000 large numbers, and can accommodate cultivators at the level of the Immortal King.

The Seventh Field has 180,000 avenues, which can accommodate the Immortal Emperor who has attained enlightenment for the first time.

The sixth phase domain has 360,000 avenues, which can accommodate the Immortal Emperor who has attained enlightenment for the third time.

The fifth phase domain has 540,000 avenues...

According to this calculation, the first phase domain has 1,080,000 avenues..."

Qin Hong thought to himself: "If this is the case, I should have been to the Seventh and Sixth Fields in the second life... The Spring and Autumn Palace I established, and those disciples of the Immortal Emperor level, are all waiting for me..."

He then asked, "Senior, I think it's a bit strange. If the high-level phase domain has a comprehensive avenue, why do you still have to come to the low-level phase domain?"

The ancestor of the Styx glanced at him: "Hmph, you guy, you look a little bit of spiritual energy, why are you so stupid? High has the beauty of high, but it also contains danger; low has the value of low, and you can grasp the root of the great way! If you don't see some things with your own eyes and think carefully, how can you master them? Without a solid foundation, how can you become a top emperor?"

Qin Hong smiled and said, "No, senior, are those who left the emperors are just as fools as me? For example, the Black Emperor, why didn't he stay here to study the roots of the great way?"

The ancestor of the Styx said: "Hmph, do you think they have not studied it? The Five Emperors were originally one. They studied several roots of the great way and compiled the "Five Classics". Even Fuxi, Nuwa and others worked with them and finally compiled the "Three Tombs and Five Classics"! The monks of the Demon Sect were unwilling to cooperate, so they could only stay and think about it themselves!"

Qin Hong suddenly realized and smiled and said, "So that's it! Senior, when my family master was about to leave, I left me a volume of "The Emperor's Jin Dian", which I can write down and give to you."

"Huh? Are you afraid of being blamed by the commander?"

"Not afraid, just give me a few more "The Styx Chapters"."

"You recite it first and let me see what the content is. Your skill is too low, and I am afraid that what the master left to you should be the basic part, and it will not be of much value to me."

"Senior, aren't you just coming here just to understand the fundamental Tao? Isn't it more meaningful if I have the basic Taoism?"

"Okay, come and listen."

Qin Hong then took out a volume from the "Haotian Golden Chapter" left by Zhang Bao, and slightly modified it to reduce the magical machine, increase the magical nature, and recited it to the Styx.

The ancestor of the Styx saw his eyes shining and praised, "Read slowly, I feel a little interesting. Is this really the Taoist method of Master Ling? Why do I feel that it is not like his tone?"

Qin Hong said: "Senior, this is what Yan Long told me. If I recorded it, it became like this."

In fact, these great emperors, whether they are immortal cultivators or demon cultivators, no matter what kind of exercises they have practiced before, have similarities when studying the great way.

This is called the same destination, also called the road leading to Rome.

The key is that, a long time ago, Cangjie master sorted out the texture of the heavenly way collected by many immortals, stripped the silk and cocoons to create immortal texts, and used the power of the heavenly court to spread the immortal texts to all directions. Therefore, these emperors mastered a lot of immortal texts and were familiar with this way of studying the heavenly way, so they unconsciously used similar methods to conduct research.

Qin Hong is even more a master of immortal writing. When he sees the texture of the great way, he can create immortal writing, and when he sees the immortal writing, he can simulate the great way tree. Therefore, while he recites the so-called "Di Jun Jindian", he draws the streamlined great way tree, which attracts the attention of the Styx.

To be honest, Qin Hong was not divided into immortals and demons in his heart. In his opinion, Styx is a rare fellow Taoist. The world is so great that there are not many fellow Taoists of this level.

He had fought with Styx in the other world before, but he was not acquainted with each other. Compared with the hypocritical Jade Emperor and Zhen Yuanzi, he prefers a straightforward magic cultivator like Styx.

Therefore, he recited the scriptures left by Zhang Bao. This is a normal exchange and discussion. Without giving, how can you get something?

Sure enough, the River Styx then passed him part of the "Styx God and Demon Chapter", which was considered a reward for your favor.

After a while, Qin Hong asked: "Senior, can you tell me again, how did the Bahong Jingyuan come from?"

The Styx River: "The Bahong Jingyuan is a Buddhist and immortal. In my opinion, the entire universe is equivalent to the eight-level demon tower."

Qin Hong was surprised: "Is the eight-hong field not a mirror image that is cut open? It is similar to a parallel world?"

Styx said lightly: "Isn't the eight-story demon tower also parallel?"

"Why is it eighth floor? Not nine or tenth floor?"

"This is what the ancestor Hongjun said. In the past, Hongjun preached at the Bianbaoyan. The Three Pure Ones, Buddha, Jade Emperor, Nuwa, Hongyun, Kunpeng and others were all there. I was also present at that time. Hongjun talked about the 360,000 Great Ways, and mentioned the eight wildernesses of the universe and eight parallel universes. At that time, the word "Eight Wilderness Fields" was used. Later, Hongjun left after he finished speaking, and the Buddha insisted that it was "Eight Wilderness Fields".

According to my understanding, if the universe is divided into high and low, it must be like an attic, layer by layer, upward step by step.

Do you think this is the case?"

Qin Hong thought for a while and said, "Senior, what you said makes sense. But who built this 'eight-layer demon tower'? Who has such a big move to stack the eight worlds together?"

Styx smiled and said, "How many vertebrae do you think the black dragon I sit on?"

Qin Hong said: "There should be three hundred and sixty vertebrae."

The black dragon turned his head and let out a wail: "Roar... I have 380 vertebrae..."

However, no one paid attention to him.

Styx patted the Black Dragon's head and shouted in a low voice: "Don't move, be honest.

The black dragon let out an unwilling whimper.

Qin Hong asked: "Senior, what does the black dragon vertebrae mean?"

The Styx River: "You think, the black dragon has so many vertebrae. If we humans become extremely small and invisible to the naked eye, parasitize on the black dragon vertebrae. Each vertebrae is a layer of universe. If you ask where the universe comes from, how should I answer?"

Qin Hong took a deep breath and said, "So, how many layers of the universe are, I'm not sure? Even the ancestor Hongjun may not have seen the real whole picture of the universe. So why did he say 'Eight Desolate Universe'?"

Styx slowly shook his head: "I don't know, I can't answer this question."

"Senior, who is the ancestor Hongjun?"

"He is an ancient god from heaven."

"Isn't Hongjun Pangu?"

"No, Pangu is also an ancient god, but after he opened the sky, his body had a problem and eventually collapsed, and the Three Qings and the Ancestral Witch evolved."

Qin Hong asked again: "Senior, do you think this 'eight-layer demon tower' really corresponds to parallel? This universe has a stardust sea, and the rest of the universe also has a stardust sea?"

What he really wants to ask is, how many of the same earths are there? Does each have the same history?

For example, is the earth he was born in the first life the earth he was born in the third life? What is the relationship between the two? Is it a parallel correspondence? If there are only two earths, it can be said to be the opposite world with positive and negative opposites. If there are eight earths, how should we explain our relationship?

At this moment, he thought of the metaphor of the Styx, just like the vertebrae of a black dragon. If ordinary people don’t know the appearance of the rostral bone, they can imagine the human vertebrae, the twelfth-order thoracic vertebrae, and the fifth-order lumbar vertebrae, and they all look very similar!

If there is a special structure hidden in a certain corner, such as the ancestral star like the Earth, it is not impossible to repeat it again and again.

Styx replied: "I have only been to three universes, which are roughly parallel and corresponding. They are all divided into six realms, including the Netherworld, the Human Realm, the Immortal Realm and the Daluo Realm. However, there are differences in details, not simply repetitions. If you want to find a certain star and find similar memories, it will take some effort."

"You mean, like the Death Valley, there are also places in other circles?"

"Yes, but because the heavenly way in the upper realm is more complex, the stars accommodated twice as many as the original realm. Some immortal kings, after the fall of the Immortal Emperor, the cave heaven evolved into stars and occupied the universe space. The relative position between the stars changed. As an ordinary immortal, it is difficult to see the structure of the universe clearly..."
