Chapter 24: A Dream
A gorgeous peony flower bloomed in Fang Yi's palm.
There was nothing there just now, but now flowers are blooming!
Zhu Daxian and Xiaoli could even vaguely smell the scent of peony flowers, which was a bit like the scent of roses, but it was hard to describe what kind of fragrance it was.
This change from nothing to something is horrifying.
Zhu Daxian was so fascinated by what he saw that he stood still for a while.
Xiaoli was shocked, and the look she gave Fang Yi was different, a little curious, as if she was wondering how the peony flower appeared.
After thinking for about three or four seconds, she seemed to have thought of something, came to her senses, blinked her eyes and asked, "Are you performing magic?"
"Magic?" Fang Yi chuckled, shook his head slightly and sighed: "Mortal eyes cannot recognize my magical powers. Well, today I will show you my unique skills to open your eyes."
Before Zhu Daxian could say anything, Fang Yi made another move.
Xiaoli saw with her own eyes Fang Yi throwing the peony in his hand into the air.
Then, a crane cry was heard.
Then, the peony flower transformed into a crane with pure white feathers except for the black feathers on the edges of its wings and neck, and it hovered under the ceiling of the small shop.
Xiaoli's pupils suddenly contracted. If the peony flower could be hidden in the sleeves of clothes and conjured up by magic, then this half-human-high crane definitely could not be hidden. After all, the young man in front of her was only wearing a thin coat. So there was only one possibility, that the young man named Fang Yi really possessed incredible magic!
Zhu Daxian was still infatuated, and even seemed unable to move his eyes away from the crane.
"This place is too small, and my cranes can't roam freely."
Fang Yi's faint voice sounded, and then he clapped his palms lightly, and the scenery in front of him changed rapidly.
Originally the three of them were in the shop, and it was drizzling outside at nightfall.
However, at this moment, a ripple flashed across the space and expanded rapidly.
Wherever the ripples reached, the scenery changed. The ground where they stood turned into a pavilion. Green water was rippling all around. A small lotus emerged from the water, revealing its pointed horns.
The next moment, the lotus blossomed, and a dragonfly that flew from nowhere landed on the edge of the lotus leaf.
This is exactly the portrayal of the famous line from Yang Wanli's "The Little Pond": "The little lotus has just shown its pointed tip, and a dragonfly has already landed on it"!
Xiaoli exclaimed "Wow" in disbelief and covered her mouth with her hands. She looked extremely unbelievable. It was not surprising to conjure up a peony flower, and it was magical to conjure up a crane. But at this moment, conjuring up a vast blue lake was not just magical, but terrifying!
Zhu Daxian finally came to his senses, and the shock in his eyes became more and more intense.
The scenery in front of me is still changing.
Splash! Another lotus flower emerges from the water and blooms.
Then the entire lake seemed to be boiling, and thousands of lotus flowers broke through the water and bloomed.
In an instant, the beautiful scenery of the endless green lotus leaves reaching the sky and the exceptionally red lotus flowers reflecting the sun jumps into my eyes!
The circling crane let out another joyful cry, then dived into the lake, causing ripples on the green water.
There was even a drop of water splashed onto Xiaoli's face. She reached out and touched it, her fingers felt wet and cool, as if the water drop was real. She seemed to have thought of something, her face suddenly changed, and she walked to the red pillar supporting the pavilion and knocked it with her hand, making a "bang" sound!
real!
Everything here is true!
Xiaoli couldn't help swallowing, turned her head, and looked at the seemingly ordinary Fang Yi with eyes full of admiration and fear. Only then did she know what a god was.
"What a beautiful scene!" Zhu Daxian couldn't help but praise.
Fang Yi put his hands behind his back and asked with a smile: "How about my method?"
Zhu Daxian said: "Exquisite."
Fang Yi asked again, "Do I deserve the title of a real person?"
Zhu Daxian pondered for a moment and said, "In ancient times, there were immortals who held up the heaven and earth, controlled yin and yang, breathed in essence, and kept their spirits independent. Their muscles were one, so they could live forever and never die. This is the way of life. Although you have profound immortal skills, you don't have the ambition to rule the world. In my opinion, you are not worthy of being an immortal."
From being angry at Fang Yi in the beginning to calling him "sir" now, Zhu Daxian has changed a lot.
Xiaoli knew very well that her master was born into a Taoist family and knew ancient secrets. He was usually very polite to others. There were only a few people who could be addressed as "sir". All of them were Taoist predecessors and could be said to be highly respected. There was nothing wrong with calling him "sir".
However, at this moment, he actually respectfully addressed the young man in his twenties in front of him as "Sir".
It seems like it's a bit too much.
But Xiaoli knew clearly in her heart that the man in front of her was no ordinary man. With every move of his hands and feet, the four seasons changed. Not to mention being called "sir" by her master, even if he was described as a god, it would be very reasonable.
If that’s the case, why did the master say that this man didn’t deserve the title of True Person?
Xiaoli was a little confused.
Of course, she didn't know that Zhu Daxian was extremely excited at the moment.
You know, the "Zhenren" has disappeared for hundreds of years. Zhu Daxian naturally doesn't want to miss the opportunity to see him again and wants to see more of the Zhenren's magical powers.
"What's so difficult about having the world in your heart?"
Fang Yi laughed loudly, snapped his fingers, and the pavilions, lotus flowers and all the scenery in front of him collapsed.
The scenery before my eyes was changing rapidly.
Somehow, at this moment, everything in front of me seemed to have become nothingness.
Then, a point of light was born out of nothingness.
Xiaoli was still wondering what the light was.
But at this moment, the light spot exploded, flashing an extremely dazzling light!
As the light gradually faded away, the entire space and time became dark.
"Where is this?" Xiaoli couldn't help but ask.
Zhu Daxian also looked puzzled and confused.
Fang Yi pointed to the distance and said, "Look."
Xiaoli and Zhu Daxian looked in the direction he pointed.
Suddenly, a meteor-like light streaked across the void in the distance.
A star that is hundreds of thousands of times larger than the sun and burning with endless flames suddenly rises up!
The next moment, ten, a hundred, or even tens of thousands of stars rose from all directions and reflected each other, forming galaxies.
The magnificent starry sky is majestic, grand and deeply shocking!
The expressions on Xiaoli and Zhu Daxian's faces became visibly stunned.
They never expected that Fang Yi's cultivation was so high that he could bring them to the depths of the endless starry sky in the blink of an eye!
Just when they were shocked.
Fang Yi's calm voice came again, "Laozi said: There is a thing that is mixed and formed before the heaven and the earth. It is silent and lonely, independent and unchanging, and it goes around without end. It can be the mother of the world. I don't know its name, so I call it 'Tao'. Tao gave birth to one, one gave birth to two, two gave birth to three, and three gave birth to all things. All things carry the yin and embrace the yang, and the rushing qi makes them harmonious. I take you to watch the birth of the universe, which is to explain that the Tao in my heart is as vast as the universe, not to seek the title of a real person."
As his words died out, the magnificent starry sky shattered.
Just like a broken mirror, all the scenery suddenly disappeared.
There was a blinding light.
Xiaoli and Zhu Daxian looked around in confusion, only to find that they were back in the store. The dazzling light came from the fluorescent light above their heads.
They have trouble distinguishing between reality and fantasy.
The last moment I was still deep in the starry sky.
But the next moment, we returned to reality?
Xiaoli and Zhu Daxian looked at each other in shock, then looked outside and found that it was still drizzling in the sky just as night fell.
It seemed as if it was just a dream, but it was so real that they could not tell the difference.
In an instant, Xiaoli and Zhu Daxian looked cautiously at Fang Yi who was standing there, and the eyes of the master and disciple were full of awe.
At this moment they had only one thought: it turns out that there really is a real person in the world who can hold up the heaven and earth and control the yin and yang!
