Stray Chapter 7: The plot that began to collapse

On the highest peak on the edge of the city of Argos, a Taoist temple has quietly appeared in the past few days.

It stands high on the steep and protruding isolated peaks, guarded by peaks, surrounded by mountains and seas, and hidden in the green pines and cypresses. Although it is not majestic and magnificent, it is not majestic and majestic. There is a quiet mood.

Quiet and do nothing, leave the country to sit and forget.

Just like the plaque in front of the Taoist temple, the three characters of "Li Wangguan" are like the dragon and the phoenix, which just rightly highlights the philosophy pursued by Taoism. In this mythical world belonging to ancient Greece, this exotic style is the most mysterious.

So during this period of time, the people of Argos were full of longing and yearning for the mysterious building on the mountain that was taller than the palace, mixed with some of their imaginations.

Some people have doubts, and some people take action. Although relatively few, in any era, there is no shortage of those who dare to seize every opportunity and want to stand out.

And the master of the Taoist temple did not expel them.

In addition, due to some considerations, either to deepen cooperation, or to feel that "steam and machinery" is not enough insurance, the ruling class of Argos not only did not prevent the residents from going up the mountain to "seek the immortals and visit the Tao", On the contrary, after finding this sign, decisive action was also taken.

As it is now

"Your Royal Highness, please be careful...it's very steep."

The two maids walking in the front whispered, they walked at the front of the team to open the way, they were also two girls with slender bodies and beautiful faces, but they were agile, and they were on the steep mountain path. Like walking on the ground.

On the surface, they are the princess's personal maids, but in fact, they have been trained for such a position, so it is not an exaggeration to have such a performance.

Princess Andromeda nodded and wiped her sweat lightly. She looked up and saw the winding and steep trails circling the mountainside, still extending upwards, and the deep canyon on the edge. In the middle, a dense mist rises.

Even the trees or weeds beside you, the dewdrops are shining and reflecting the light in the morning light.

All this made her feel novel. For the first time, Princess Andromeda discovered that there was such a magnificent and quiet natural scenery outside the palace. This was completely incomparable to the gardens in the palace. Those gardening No matter how exquisite the teacher's memory is, he can't show one or two points of the spirit of nature.

"Is that there?"

Squinting her eyes and looking at the looming outline of the Taoist temple on the top of the mountain, the girl couldn't help but feel a strange atmosphere. She couldn't describe this exotic style with proper words, but she felt that just looking at it, There is a quiet and peaceful mood.

Looking back, there were a dozen or so aristocratic youths behind him, who were also sweating profusely, but they didn't complain, but their eyes were full of eagerness and anticipation.

Princess Andromeda represents the royal family, and they represent the surnames of the ancient nobles who ruled Argos.

In fact, the group did not suffer much, but the mountain where the Taoist temple is located is on the edge of the city. Apart from the steep terrain, it is not too high, and there is a limit to the difficulty. At that time, those people with outstanding actions have already walked on this mountain again and again.

There was no way at first, but as many people walk, there is a way.

Although it's just a winding mountain path, it is at least passable. They don't have to cut through the thorns and create a path out of nothing, so they can still bear it. Now they are almost at the top of the mountain. The feeling is completely replaced by excitement, excitement and anticipation in my heart.

Compared to those ordinary people who don't know the inside information and can only speculate on the buildings on the mountain through rumors that spread more and more outrageous rumors.

They have inside information and know that there are at least two incarnations of the main gods on the mountain!

This is a great opportunity!

If you catch it, youthful immortality, immortality, powerful strength... These are all possible to obtain, just like the various legends they are familiar with, or if they are more daring, they can become those two If the lover of the Lord God really wants the chicken and the dog to ascend to heaven!

Perhaps Princess Andromeda is very repulsive, but the remaining group of guys, without exception, yearns for the opportunity to become the goddess's favorite, and they don't know it is the promiscuous temperament of the Greek gods, and There are too many such deeds that have been passed down to give them courage

They are confident that they can be successful, and they have begun to be wary of others, and they are all competitors.

Not long after, the last section of the mountain road finally came to an end.

"This is it..."

"They...what are they doing?"

A breathless noble boy, full of excitement, looked at the whole picture of the Taoist temple in front of him, feeling this pure and peaceful mood, and then saw a very attractive scene, that is, by a few Ten men and women, ranging from young to prime-age commoners, are standing cautiously outside the Taoist temple.

They listened to the leisurely voice from inside, showing a look of ecstasy.

“…”

“…”

Princess Andromeda took the lead and couldn't hold back her curiosity and walked over quietly, while the others glanced at each other and realized something, and quickly followed.

"There is a mixture of things, born from the innate and the earth. It's lonely and lonely! I can't change my independence, I can't be in danger, I can be the mother of the world..."

"To the Tao is profound, the mixture is boundless, the body color is empty, the reason is extremely mysterious..."

"The Great Dao is the Dao, and nothing is natural. The end of the catastrophe is the beginning of the catastrophe, the first and the first innate..."

A calm and long voice came from the closed Taoist temple. The voice was not loud, but it was clear enough to hear everyone clearly when everyone held their breath subconsciously.

Princess Andromeda fell into it in an instant, and the group of noble teenagers beside her also showed the same fascinated expressions as the surrounding civilians after being shocked, although they were obviously different A language, but they just wonderfully understand what it means.

Wuji Taiji, movement, presence, yin and yang...

The simple concept created by the primitive Taoism, the unique philosophical thought is rich and complex, appeared for the first time in this world, and slowly unfolded a magnificent picture scroll in front of their eyes.

They never knew that there was such a profound and wonderful truth in the world.

There is no such thing as a dazzling, ground-swelling golden lotus vision.

It is a simple and straightforward description, but it is consistent, pointing directly to the original Dao, from the aspects that they could never imagine, to explain the mysteries of the universe and the laws of the operation of heaven and earth.

I don't know how long it took, and the voices from inside disappeared suddenly, but the sermon came to an end.

They woke up in a trance like the beginning of a dream, looked around, their eyes were blank, and for a while they couldn't understand why they and others were here. scratch your head and scratch your ears.

They feel that they seem to understand a lot of things they didn't understand before, even things they never thought about before, and now their minds are clear.

The so-called Daigo empowerment is probably like this.

However, the ones who are half-understood and those who don't understand at all have more doubts. It's all kinds of questions that they have never thought about before, which makes them very distressed and entangled...why don't they continue to talk about it?

At this time

In the Taoist temple, the voice slowly sounded again. This time, it was no longer about expounding those philosophical thoughts, explaining to them the principles of heaven and earth, the mysteries of the universe, and the laws of the operation of everything in the world from a unique perspective. The narration of the philosophical idea based on the ideological system...

An extraordinary path.

…………

"Nourishing Qi in one place, knowing the mind and seeing the nature, eliminating chronic diseases, keeping the mind light and smooth, calming the mind, calming the spirit, the four elements, and the six emotions being quiet..."

"Building foundations in the second realm, growing up the holy fetus, wide passage of qi and meridians, thorough vision of spirituality, exceeding the normal limit, more safety and less disease, and the plague of the eight evils cannot be harmed..."

"Three realms hold elixir, three flowers gather on top, and five energies are in the prime. These three things are nothing but spirit, qi and essence. The three things are related to each other. If you follow them, you will become an adult, and if you go against them, you will produce elixir..."

Xia Ran put on a moon-white Taoist robe, obviously the incarnation of Taoist mode, with wide sleeves and wide robes, long flowing hair, he held the green slip in his hand, and slowly paced around Ouyang Mingzhu, who was sitting at risk. While speaking slowly.

Ms. Ouyang pondered deeply. Although she had already transcended the foundation of the lower three realms, when the teacher systematically reorganized her, she still felt that she had gained a lot, and at the same time had a new understanding. and some small regrets.

That's what she was proud of when she discovered that she was proud of herself before. Every level of achievement has been polished to perfection. Now it seems that it can only be said to be a bit reluctant.

It seems that in every realm, there are still many omissions and defects.

Actually, she has done a really perfect job, but Xia Ran, as the master of the Taoist lineage, has a high house, and has reached the current state of near omnipotence, able to change the past at will, adjust history, and correct any The details and imperfections make this road more and more grand and dreamy.

Each field is unbelievably grand. No matter how you dig, there will always be mysteries that others can't exhaust.

"As for the four realms... I actually didn't expect you all to make achievements in this step. Ten thousand flowers from a tree is really good." At this time, the white-robed Taoist looked at him tenderly. Coming here, Miss Ouyang's heart throbbed, and her body subconsciously became more tense.

Ah ah ah ah, what should I do...

There is absolutely no resistance to this mode of teacher!

The girl let out a humiliated cry in her heart, and her cheeks couldn't help but turn a little red.

Xia Ran didn't pay attention to this, but continued to speak on her own: "Four realms of immortals, you have reached the realm of transformation, and there is no need to narrate more. The main thing is the next five realms. God Transformation, you are also just one step away..."

"Mingzhu, you should know that the four realms are actually mainly refining and transforming qi, and the law is the foundation. As for polishing the divine will, the step of pure yang of thoughts is actually preparing for the future breakthrough. Mindfulness creates a ray of light, mindfulness penetrates the spirits, mindfulness becomes the world..."

He looked directly at his proud disciple: "At this stage, it is already a great achievement, but the relationship between quantitative change and qualitative change is very simple and not simple. Pearl, do you know what the threshold of the five realms is?"

“…”

“…”

"Pearl?" Raising his eyebrows slightly, the white-robed Taoist raised his voice slightly, and flicked his fingers on the girl's forehead.

"Ah? Oh oh oh, this... this..."

The girl with red cheeks hurriedly came back to her senses. She seemed at a loss, she thought about it quickly, and then said cautiously: "It seems like, teacher, you said that you want to do it... Do you think like the Dharma?"

"Yes, this is the threshold of the five realms." Xia Ran stared at his disciple and nodded, "You should know the difference between "fa" and "shu", you can also compare it with Arturia's By definition in the world of origin, magic is a mystery of another dimension that completely surpasses magic. "

A random thought has a mighty power comparable to a "magic", and what it thinks and thinks is a miracle that can affect human nature, and it is also the sword of Akashic...

One thought three thousand, and the thought is like the law, this is the five realms of merit, belonging to the brilliance of immortals and Buddhas.

"I understand, teacher..." She said in a low voice with some guilty conscience, Miss Ouyang nodded, hesitated for a while and couldn't help but asked, "By the way, teacher, those main gods are... It is equivalent to several realms, is it the sixth level?"

She doesn't think that she can help her teacher in such a war by breaking through to the Five Realms. She is somewhat frustrated.

Perhaps because of luck, she couldn't help but want to confirm.

"The sixth level? How is it possible..." Xia Ran was stunned for a moment, then smiled, "How is it possible, don't think too much."

When the girl just showed a surprised expression, he continued: "All the main gods, if they are divided according to my method, are equivalent to the seventh realm..."

“…”

“…”

"Isn't this the end?" Miss Ouyang's expression froze.

"Yes, after all, it is such an ancient god. In such a long time, even a pig should climb to the peak of the infinite world..." The white-robed Taoist said noncommittally.

Ms. Ouyang finally digested the news, and suddenly panicked: "The teacher, why don't we leave this world first..."

"Leave? Why?" Xia Ran tilted her head in confusion.

"There are so many gods in Olympus, and this is still the world of Greek mythology..." The girl felt a headache, whether the teacher was acting stupid or something, "Teacher, do you still want to go your own way here? What kind of god-king Zeus? The time is right, the place is right and the people are not there, how can you fight..."

"No, because there are so many gods in Olympus, this is still the world of Greek mythology,"

The Taoist in white also looked strange.

"So the right time, place and people are here with me, why should Zeus fight me?"

……

……

Same time.

Just below the mountain in Argos, in the harbor.

The former shipyard has changed beyond recognition. In less than a week, it has been completely transformed into a different look. The roar of huge machinery resounds, and hot steam is sprayed out, one by one modernized Assembly workshop, and industrial assembly line...

All of this made the kings and nobles who came to inspect and visit stunned.

In the very center of the factory, the behemoth being assembled is not the warship of the past, but it is several times larger than the battlefield...

A steel head.

The alloy shell reflects the luster, and the huge electronic eye has not been energized, so it looks a little hollow, but just relying on the huge size, it already has an extremely terrifying deterrent.

"This is the "Giant Soldier" that adults gave you! This is the zero machine for trial production! "The man in charge of this project said frantically, "Forged by manpower, it can resist the power of steel of gods!" "

"This, this..." The king was also so excited that he couldn't help himself, he looked at the huge head, imagined the full picture of the final huge humanoid weapon, and asked shivering with excitement, "But, but ...Respected servants of God, how should we control such a huge weapon?"

"For this, we need a "pilot"...ahem, no, I mean we need a "soldier" to harness the power of steel forged from steam and machinery, only the most determined heroes , to be able to do the job..."

The man coughed lightly and pushed out Perseus who was at a loss beside him.

This kind of person with demigod blood is the first choice for pilots. When man and machine are united, the divine factor in their blood can be stimulated to further enhance the power of giant soldiers, whether it is a machine A is still a pilot, and both sides are mutually reinforcing.

Especially when fighting against the gods, only the influence of "bloodline distortion" and "divine distortion" originating from the same clan can make this technological sidecraft obtain a powerful enchantment upgrade, thus becoming a special target for the public. God

Armed against the gods.

A few minutes later, Perseus, who was stuffed into the cockpit in the name of an experiment, looked bewildered and lost his eyes.

He looked at the various panels and indicators in front of him, and felt the touch of the controller connected to his spinal nerves. Suddenly, he felt that his life should not be like this...
