Zhang Ke murmured a question in response, but upon hearing the name, his heart beat suddenly.
Less than half an hour after he regained his true spiritual consciousness during his third reincarnation, Ding Xiaoxiao had already felt the strong rejection of him by the heaven in this world.
It's like the body is tied with a water bag, and every shake causes the body's center of gravity to lose control.
And there is a steady stream of air pressure compressing itself from all directions, making it difficult to even breathe.
Although Ding Xiaoxiao doesn't care about this pressure, she understands that if she continues to stand here, there will be thunder punishment in this world.
In order not to affect the children's normal life in the future, even if they were extremely reluctant to leave, they had no choice but to leave.
She did not directly reply to Zhang Ke's question, but motioned for him to leave with her.
Two points of light, one gold and one red, flew towards the distance through the window lattice.
First, they came to the mountain peak where Ding Xiaoxiao first came to this world, and took away the eight innate spiritual treasures that Zhang Ke had left here. Then the two of them turned into two rays of light and left in the sky.
On the wall inside the house, the color of the paper of a two-foot-long horizontal scroll scroll quickly became old, as if it had been hanging on the wall for more than ten years.
The next day when Ding Xiaoxiao's parents woke up and saw the scroll, they did not show any surprise.
This scroll has been hanging in their memory for many years.
...
Two streams of light traveled rapidly upwards, and the Gang Qi layer for hundreds of miles was as dense as a swamp.
During the shuttle flight, Ding Xiaoxiao explained to Zhang Ke:
"This three-life catastrophe actually contains great danger.
But back then, I was severely damaged by Taoist Master Xuan Ni and Taoist Qionglai. If I didn’t carry out the tribulation, I wouldn’t be able to last long even if you shared the damage.”
The time when Ding Xiaoxiao regained his true spiritual consciousness in his third life was after giving birth to Ding Ke.
When Ding Xiaoxiao regained his memory, Zhang Ke told Ding Xiaoxiao one by one that he was rounded up and killed by many Taoists.
He also talked about his suspicion that Ding Xiaoxiao was attacked to elicit his own speculation.
Therefore, Ding Xiaoxiao also knew who hurt him at that time.
After a brief pause, Ding Xiaoxiao continued:
"Due to the damage to my original foundation, I can only live for thirty years in each life when I am undergoing tribulation.
Especially the first life is the most serious. Only the last few days of a thirty-year life can be considered truly alive."
Speaking of this, Ding Xiaoxiao was a little emotional. During these three catastrophes, Zhang Ke awakened her true spiritual consciousness after each death.
But what Ding Xiaoxiao remembers the most is the erratic scenes between the two of them in the first life.
You thought I was dead, but I knew you were still alive. We followed each other closely for thousands of miles, and we didn’t even know we met.
I thought you were dead and followed you to hell, but you are still alive, willing to give up your life and never leave you.
We depend on each other in life and death, never leave and never give up!
If these eight words only symbolized love and responsibility in the past, then during the catastrophe, the two of them used their lives to interpret the true meaning of these eight words.
The real danger of this catastrophe was far from as casual and relaxed as Ding Xiao's novel, but she was happy with it.
"It wasn't until I experienced three tribulations and gave birth to Ke'er that the original and fundamental injuries were fully recovered.
I guess there may be multiple factors involved such as fate, cause and effect, reincarnation, etc., but my current cultivation level is not enough to see it all clearly.
In addition, during these three reincarnations, I also recovered some memories that were imprisoned deep in my soul.
It turns out that this is not the first time that the three reincarnations have happened.
And this starts with who I am at the beginning.”
Zhang Ke's heart was shocked, his feet were fixed, hanging in the void, and Ding Xiaoxiao also stopped beside him.
At this time, the two of them had left the realm that made them extremely concerned, and stood in the dark, deep and boundless void.
Ding Xiaoxiao's expression was a little strange, and he whispered with a blurry look in his eyes:
"I am originally a 'Seven-Colored Immortal Golden Chrysanthemum' in the void. By chance, I was enlightened by the inspiration of the Great Dao and was born with spiritual wisdom.
After that, I don’t know how many years of wisdom I absorbed from the sun and the moon finally transformed into a human being.”
Ding Xiaoxiao did not establish a void sound transmission barrier, but her voice was clearly transmitted to Zhang Ke's ears.
Zhang Ke stared blankly at the graceful Ding Xiaoxiao beside him. He didn't know why, although he was so close, he felt that she was far away from him, as if she had transcended time and space.
Ding Xiaoxiao felt the alienation in Zhang Ke's heart, reached out to hold his hand, and said softly:
"Mr. Lang, I am Ding Xiaoxiao, the woman your matchmaker is marrying."
A short sentence, but there is infinite deep feeling contained in it.
The rejection and alienation in Zhang Ke's heart immediately disappeared, and he deliberately said with a straight face:
"Hmph, you are not the woman I am marrying, I am just marrying you."
As they said this, both of them couldn't help but chuckle.
"For the next hundreds of years, I have been wandering around in the void.
Because my true body is the ‘Seven Color Immortal Golden Chrysanthemum’, my lifespan is almost unlimited.
Until one day I was discovered by the patrolling heavenly soldiers of the ‘Heavenly Court’ and was brought back to the ‘Heavenly Court’.”
At this moment, Ding Xiaoxiao felt his palms tighten slightly and understood that Zhang Ke was worried about him.
Quietly nestling next to Zhang Ke, tenderness filled his heart like water, and his heart was filled with joy and peace.
After a while, Ding Xiaoxiao continued:
"After being illuminated by the 'Mirror of Karma', I have never actively harmed any living beings in my life, so I was sent to the 'Peach Garden' to look after the garden."
Zhang Ke's heart moved and he couldn't help but ask:
"Peach Garden?"
Ding Xiaoxiao nodded and said affirmatively:
"Well, it's the 'Peach Garden' that Lang Jun got by accident."
After hundreds of years of getting along, what treasures each other has cannot be hidden from the person next to them, not to mention that Zhang Ke often shows off when he is in high spirits.
It’s just that these memories of the past were sealed deep in the soul, so there was no impression of the ‘Peach Garden’.
Ding Xiaoxiao explained softly and then said:
"I have been taking care of the 'Peach Garden' for a long time since then, maybe hundreds of years, maybe thousands of years.
Some memories have not been fully recovered, and I only have some sporadic memories now.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Later, for some reason, the emperor of the ‘Heavenly Court’ suddenly led an army to expedition to other star regions and never returned.
Since then, the Three Realms have gradually lost order due to the ownerless "Heaven".
Not only is the internal chaos of 'Heaven', but even the external order is gradually falling apart under the promotion of Taoism and Buddhism.
It was during that chaotic era that a son of Lord Xing suddenly came to Pantaoyuan and asked me to be his 762nd Taoist companion."
Zhang Ke's eyes flashed with a flash of light, and a heavy murderous intent penetrated his eyebrows.
Ding Xiaoxiao squeezed his hand for comfort and continued:
"The son of Lord Xing has a dull talent, and it is only because of his father's countless resources that he has been able to reach this level.
But Lang Jun also knows that when a certain level is reached, resources will have little effect on the breakthrough of the level.
And the reason why he asked me to be his Taoist companion is because my body is the ‘Seven-Colored Immortal Golden Chrysanthemum’, which can help break mirrors and increase the upper limit of life span during dual cultivation.”
Zhang Ke couldn't help but said angrily:
"The damn thing."
Ding Xiaoxiao smiled softly and said leisurely:
"Heaven is out of order and chaotic, which is the main reason why these people dare to do whatever they want.
But if you want to get benefits from me during dual cultivation, you must be willing.
The characteristics of the seven-color immortal golden chrysanthemum are unyielding, auspicious, longevity, and purity, and because I was enlightened by the inspiration of the Tao, I was born to be protected by the rules of the Tao.
Any methods that confuse the mind, confuse the mind, confuse the soul, etc. will not have the slightest effect on me.
So even if he forces himself on me, as long as I don't want to, he will be counterattacked by the rules of the great road."
Zhang Ke couldn't help but feel his heart skip a beat when he heard this. He glanced at Ding Xiaoxiao quietly and didn't dare to say anything.
Ding Xiaoxiao turned to look at him with a sly smile and said jokingly:
"If you dare to apologize to me in the future, be careful of my mother-in-law's family standing in for me."
Zhang Ke couldn't help but glance at the top of his head and said with a dry smile:
"No, absolutely not..."
Ding Xiaoxiao sighed and said:
"Xingjun is not only powerful, but also controls a huge force.
Seeing that I was unwilling to obey, he immediately tried to make things difficult for me in every way and tried to force me to submit.
And I have persisted in this for hundreds of years, during which I have attracted the attention of many people.
These people may not be able to help me out of trouble, but the attention of many people also indirectly protected me.
Later, when the Xing Lord saw that I still refused to submit, and that he had robbed the "Heavenly Court" treasury and obtained a special treasure that could help others break through, he didn't want to delay it any longer with me.
But my hundreds of years of persistence also made him lose face, so he tried to trick me into getting an opportunity.
This is not because he wants to reconcile with me out of kindness, but because he is harboring evil intentions.
From this opportunity, I obtained a technique that forcibly reverses the foundation of spiritual practice and a treasure, namely the 'Nine-turns of Death' and the 'Nine-turns of Life and Death Stone'."
Zhang Ke's attention was attracted and Ding Xiaoxiao continued:
"When I got this opportunity, my basic skills were forcibly transformed into the 'Nine Revolutions of Death Tribulation'.
To be fair, this top martial art that points directly to the Great Dao was born out of the rules of the Great Dao.
Moreover, practicing this technique can also comprehend powerful Taoist laws such as life and death, reincarnation, time and space, cause and effect, etc.
However, there is actually a special reason why the laws of heaven condensed into this method.
The operation of the laws of heaven is like the operation of machinery. Over the years, some redundant fragments will be spontaneously generated.
These redundant fragments are like garbage in a house. When accumulated to a certain stage, the laws of heaven will condense these redundant fragments and garbage together to form a special substance.
It might be a skill, it might be luck, it might be some kind of heaven-defying treasure or a being with a rebellious heart, etc.
In short, this is an existence that is rejected by heaven and earth.
Because of this, as long as there are living beings who master such substances, they will surely suffer countless disasters in their lives.
This opportunity was sealed in a secret realm. Almost no one at the top of the 'Heaven' knew about it at that time, but no one had ever looked for it. Why?
It is because practicing this heaven-defying technique will cause the practitioner to suffer nine lifetimes of calamity.
Among these nine catastrophes, as long as one fails to recover his true spiritual consciousness at the time of death, he will perish.
According to the records of the secret book of the Heavenly Court, there are many practitioners who have practiced the Nine Turns of Death Tribulation, but in the end no one has been able to master this method, which makes this method a taboo.
And this is the sinister intention of Lord Xing. I am the ‘Seven-Colored Immortal Golden Chrysanthemum’. As long as I don’t suffer any disaster, my lifespan will be almost endless.
However, after being forced to practice this method, he has been reincarnated five times in the past tens of thousands of years. When he was reincarnated as Ding Xiaoxiao, it was the sixth time he was reincarnated.
As for the ‘Nine Kalpas Reincarnation Stone’, it was actually mutated by the fusion of three ‘Three Life Stones’, and its specific origin cannot be ascertained.”
Speaking of this, Ding Xiaoxiao smiled slightly and said calmly:
"Unfortunately, Xingjun's plan came to nothing.
My true body is the 'Seven Color Immortal Golden Chrysanthemum', and my true spiritual consciousness is almost immortal.
And because he was inspired by the Great Dao at the beginning and was naturally close to the Great Dao, although he was forced to practice the "Nine Transformations of Death Tribulation" and fell into multiple tribulations, he was not rejected by the Heavenly Dao and perished completely as he thought.
However, although my true soul consciousness is almost immortal, it is not truly immortal after all, and my true soul consciousness will always be worn away.
After six tribulations, my true spiritual consciousness has actually been shrouded in overlapping confusions.
After I was severely injured by Xuan Ming and Qionglai, this technique started to work on its own and directly transformed my foundation for the seventh tribulation. You also know what happened next.
In the first two tribulations, if Lang Jun had not awakened a little bit of my true spiritual consciousness in time, when my soul dissipated, I would have been dissipated and dissipated in the heaven and earth.
If it had been anyone else, they would have completely dissipated after the first catastrophe, and this is Lord Xing's punishment for my disobedience."
Zhang Ke breathed a sigh of relief and finally understood Ding Xiaoxiao's background.
He pondered for a moment and said:
"Who are Xingjun and Xingjun's son?"
Ding Xiaoxiao smiled, knowing that his husband's petty problem had occurred again.
An understatement:
"Although I am only the caretaker of the 'Peach Garden', I have made progress after thousands of years.
Later, when the ‘Heavenly Court’ collapsed, I spread the news that this star king had stolen the ‘Heavenly Courthouse’.
In the end, both father and son perished in the endless battle.
And my first life was also terminated at that time, and I entered the second life of reincarnation."
Zhang Ke's murderous intention dissipated in his heart, and he thought for a while and said:
"The 'Nine Tribulations of Life and Death Reincarnation Stone' is presumably the medium that guides you into the calamity of reincarnation.
It is said that the ‘Three Life Stones’ can illuminate three lives. Since this stone is made of three ‘Three Life Stones’, isn’t there anything special about it?”
Ding Xiaoxiao frowned and said:
"The 'Three Lives Stone' hangs to illuminate the three lives of 'past life, present life, and next life'. This stone should also have a similar effect.
It's just that I haven't really mastered it yet, so I can't really use it.
However, the fact that I have only been able to survive six tribulations in tens of thousands of years is due to this stone.
The 'Nine Transformations of Death Tribulation' requires a total of nine transformations of tribulations, and every three transformations of tribulations is a small tribulation.
Each small kalpa will be reincarnated into three lives: "past life, present life, and next life."
And these three small kalpas will form the three kalpas of "past life, present life, and next life".
Only after these three minor tribulations and nine revolving tribulations have been overcome, can the 'nine revolving tribulations of body-death' practice be truly completed."
After a brief pause, Ding Xiaoxiao stretched out his finger and drew a seven-color dotted line horizontally in the void.
Then, with a snap of the finger, click on the three positions of the front, middle, and back of the line, green, gold, and red, and each of them turns into a little person walking slowly and evenly from left to right on the line.
"If we think of our lives as walking on a line.
Then the golden figure in the middle is 'this life', the red figure in the back is 'past life', and the cyan figure in front is 'afterlife'.
It seems that Sansheng has been walking forward, which represents the non-stop flow of time.
but..."
Ding Xiaoxiao reached out and touched the line, turning it in the opposite direction. The order of the three-color figures suddenly changed from 'green, gold, red' to 'red, green, gold', and the direction they were walking in also changed from right to right.
turn left.
"If someone were to look across from us, the three-colored figures would be in the opposite order and direction to us.
In other words, although time never stops, it is actually just a relative trajectory."
Listening to Ding Xiaoxiao's story, Zhang Ke suddenly had a deeper understanding of the law of time, but he didn't understand what Ding Xiaoxiao's move meant.
Ding Xiaoxiao saw his confusion, raised his hand and pointed out six figures of various colors on the lines in the void again, and explained:
"Take me as an example, my first tribulation was the 'Seven Color Immortal Golden Chrysanthemum', my second tribulation was equivalent to 'the hereafter', and then it accumulated from generation to generation until my ninth tribulation, which is now.
But here comes the problem. In the first life, I had the ‘afterlife’ but no ‘past life’. In the ninth life, I only had the ‘past life’ but no ‘afterlife’.
However, my cultivation of the ‘Nine Turns of Death’ has indeed been completed.
Where did the two missing disasters go?"
Zhang Ke couldn't help but be stunned.
The fingertips of Ding Xiaoxiao's right hand pulled the front end of the illusory line in front of him and turned it backwards, connecting the line end to end to form a circle.
"All reincarnations cannot escape three reincarnations, and the same is true for this practice. Only nine reincarnations can achieve perfection.
One of the functions of the ‘Nine Tribulations of Life and Death Reincarnation Stone’ is this.”
'boom--'
There seemed to be countless flashes of inspiration in Zhang Ke's mind, and countless insights accumulated at this moment and formed a qualitative change.
Not only has his understanding of the laws of time greatly increased, it has even been extended to the laws of space.
After calming down, Zhang Ke digested these insights, but there was a vague premonition in his heart.
As expected, Ding Xiaoxiao sighed softly and said:
"Mr. Lang, although my 'Nine Turns of Death' technique is perfect now, my memory is missing, which is detrimental to my future practice.
I need to reverse the long river of time and find all the memories of my previous five lives, so..."
Ding Xiaoxiao faced Zhang Ke, held his cheeks with both hands and said:
"Lang Jun, I'm going to leave you for a while, so you have to wait for me!"
Zhang Ke was silent, and he suddenly realized that he was unable to detect Ding Xiaoxiao's cultivation at this moment.
Thinking about some of the methods Ding Xiaoxiao had revealed before, Zhang Ke suddenly had an incredible thought in his mind, but this thought was not important to him at the moment.
After a moment, Zhang Ke turned his right hand and pulled out an exquisite garden like a bonsai from his natal talisman.
"This is the 'Peach Garden', maybe you are its real owner."
Ding Xiaoxiao did not refuse and silently took it from Zhang Ke.
For her, there is no need for the two of them to separate themselves from each other.
As Ding Xiao thought about it, a translucent meandering flowing river suddenly appeared in the void in front of his eyes. It had no roots, no bottom, no end, and no edges.
Ding's small figure gradually faded from the void, like a small transparent fish merging into the river and traveling upstream.
The river appears silently and disappears silently.
Ding Xiaoxiao's ethereal voice sounded in Zhang Ke's ears.
