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 !

Even Zhu Daxian and Xiaoli could faintly smell the fragrance of peonies , which was a bit like the scent of roses , but it was hard to describe what kind of fragrance it was .

This transformation from nothing to something is appalling .

Zhu Daxian was so fascinated by what he saw that he stood still for a while .

Xiaoli was shocked and looked at Fang Yi with a different look , a little curious , as if she was wondering how the peony flower appeared .​​​

After thinking for three or four seconds , she seemed to have thought of something and came to her senses . She blinked and asked , " Are you performing a magic trick ? "

" 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 and open your eyes . "

Before Zhu Daxian could say anything , Fang Yi made another move .

Xiaoli saw with her own eyes Fang Yi throw 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 circled 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 , this young man named Fang Yi really possessed incredible magic !

Zhu Daxian was still infatuated , and even his eyes looked at the crane , as if he could n't move away .

" This place is too small , and my cranes ca n't fly freely . "

Fang Yi 's faint voice sounded , and then he clapped his hands lightly , and the scenery in front of him changed rapidly .

The three of them were originally 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 , with green water rippling all around . A small lotus emerged from the water , revealing its pointed corners .

The next moment , the lotus bloomed , and a dragonfly flew from nowhere and landed on the edge of the lotus leaf .

It is a true 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 to conjure 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 before my eyes is still changing .

Splash , another lotus flower emerged from the water and bloomed .

Then the entire lake seemed to boil , 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 red lotus flowers reflecting the sun jumps into the eyes !

The circling crane let out another joyful cry , then dived into the lake , causing ripples on the green water .​​

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 think 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 and incomparable . "

Fang Yi asked again , " Do I deserve the title of True Person ? "

Zhu Daxian pondered for a moment and said , " In ancient times , there were immortals who lifted up the heavens and the earth , controlled yin and yang , breathed in vital energy , maintained their spirits independently , and their muscles remained as one . Therefore , they could live forever, transcending heaven and earth, without end. This is the way of life . Although your immortal methods are profound , you do not seem to have the ambition to govern the universe . 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 were highly respected . There was nothing wrong with calling them " Sir " .

However , at this moment , he actually respectfully addressed the young man in his twenties in front of him as "Sir" .

It seems a bit too much .

But Xiaoli knew clearly in her heart that the man in front of her was no ordinary person . With every movement of his hands and feet , the four seasons changed . Not to mention being called "Mr. " by her master , even if he was described as a god , it would be very reasonable .

If that’s the case , why does Master still say that this man does n’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 his divine presence again . He 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 and snapped his fingers . 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 become nothingness .

Immediately afterwards , 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 , the entire space and time became pitch black .

" Where is this ? " Xiaoli couldn't help asking .

Zhu Daxian also looked puzzled and confused .​

Fang Yi pointed into the distance , " 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 hundreds of thousands of times larger than the sun and burning with endless flames suddenly rose up !

The next moment , ten , a hundred , or even tens of thousands of stars rose from all directions and shone on 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 advanced 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 echoed again , " Lao Tzu said : ' There is a thing , mixed and formed , that existed before heaven and earth . It is silent and desolate , independent and unchanging , circulating endlessly . It can be the mother of the world . I do not 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 , their energy blending to achieve harmony . I am taking you to witness the birth of the universe to illustrate the Tao within my heart , which is as vast as the universe , not to seek the title of Immortal . "

As his words died , the magnificent starry sky shattered .​​

Like a broken mirror , all the scenery suddenly disappeared .​

A dazzling light came .​

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 was still deep in the starry sky .

But the next moment , I 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 even though it had just turned night .

It seemed as if it was just a dream , but it was so real that they couldn't 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 !
