Chapter 297: Three Petals of Vicissitudes
I woke up suddenly. It was the kind of real awakening, and when the singing in my ears stopped abruptly, I was like being splashed with a bucket of cold water, and my whole body was cold.
I don't know when the beautiful silk bamboo voice suddenly became terrible, like the evil ghost in hell. I sat up suddenly, cold.
The boat was moving, and I saw that Sheng Ku was already rocking the oars. He was shirtless, but his expression was very strange and cold.
"Bitter?" I called out to him tentatively, and he suddenly realized that I was awake and smiled at me.
Seeing his smile, I was slightly relieved, as if this was the bitterness I knew.
"Where is this?" I asked as I saw that we were already in the middle of the lake.
He didn't speak, just looked at the direction we were about to arrive at, but his expression was very solemn. He started this way when he returned to the corner of the Black City, and I was very concerned. So, as soon as I grabbed his hand rocking the oar, he was stunned and looked at my face.
"What's wrong?" he asked, as if mechanically.
"What the hell are you hiding from me?" I finally couldn't help myself, so I had to ask him loudly.
He smiled softly, but the movement of his hand still did not stop, "I have nothing to hide from you!"
I grabbed the oars, and he was forced to stop, "What's wrong?" but there was a slight impatience in his tone.
It was an expression he had never seen before, and I winced slightly, but I didn't let go. "What's wrong with you? You have been very wrong since you came to this corner of the black city, what are you going to do, what are you anxious about? You don't make this clear," I hesitated for a moment how to scare him, but after thinking about it, it seemed that he didn't have any handle or weakness in my hands, so I had to hold back a sentence, "No!"
Sheng was stunned for a moment, and smiled helplessly. "Don't make a fuss, I'll tell you what you want to know in a moment. I'm really in a hurry right now, you see, the place I'm going to is right there, you have to trust me. When I get there, I'll tell you anything you want to know. ”
He gently took my hand, no longer looking at my face, and then rocked the oars. Although the expression is very peaceful, the speed is obviously much faster than just now. I looked at him with a puzzled expression, just thinking he was weird. But I can't tell what is weird, but I can see it.
"You—" I remembered that he had a cell phone in his empty pocket that stored a lot of audio about the "truth". I couldn't help but raise my voice, "If you use your phone in exchange, I might be able to believe you!"
He stopped, looked at my face with a smile, and slowly pulled the phone out of his empty pocket. "I know you've always wanted this. I also know you're curious. He sighed softly, "That's fine, keep the phone there for you." You won't be able to open it until three days later. Until then, you'll all have to listen to me!"
His eyes were so resolute that I couldn't think of anything for a while, so I had to nod. "Don't worry, what I promised will be done! I'll open it again in three days, and you can supervise me!"
Sheng Ku seemed to hesitate for a moment, and then handed the phone to me. I took it, only to find that there was still sweat in his hands on the phone.
"Can you go, Miss?" I continued to grab the oars, and for a moment I had the feeling of being in the world of the Time Realm, when he called me Miss, and we seemed to be boating on the lake together.
I nodded, but was worried about him, "Are you really okay?"
He smiled, "Look, we're almost there!"
I looked in the direction of his eyes, but there was nothing. I looked at him strangely, but suddenly I saw a light in his eyes. What kind of light was that! It was as if the best moments in the world were in his eyes.
When he wasn't paying attention, I secretly clicked on the screen of my phone and found that it was a black screen.
"It's out of power. He turned his back to me and said suddenly, I was a little flustered and put the phone back into my empty pocket, still looking for a reason for myself, "Well, I just want to try it to see if it works." ”
Sheng Ku didn't answer again, just continued to shake his oars. It was a long, long time, and it even made me feel for a moment that we were not in the lake, but in the sea. He finally stopped what he was doing, pointed ahead and said, "Look, there, that's where I'm going!"
I stood up and looked with him towards the place, but it wasn't there as he said. It seems to be a small island, and I don't know what it is, so I can't see what it is. I looked at Sheng Ku in wonder, only to see that he suddenly increased the strength of his hands, and then rowed hard.
Finally, here we are.
I got off the boat and realized that the place wasn't even an island. If anything, this place can only be described as a piece of land in the middle of the lake that is less than ten square meters in size. Above it is a bench-high platform made of white stones, which looks like a well if you don't look closely.
Sheng Ku walked over, his body trembling slightly, maybe excited! Anyway, this place is what he has always wanted to come over. I guessed.
I walked over and slowly removed the stones from the pile on top of the platform, and I saw that it seemed to be really a well. There seemed to be something in his bitter eyes that I couldn't tell, and he just crouched there, and then put his hand in, as if caressing something.
Curious, I walked over and found that it was only a shallow puddle. But for some reason, my first instinct was that I seemed to have seen this puddle somewhere, it seemed like... It's like the kind of puddle on the island of the Yellow Robe Venerable that holds the seeds of the vicissitudes of the sea.
After a moment of hard stroke, he sat down on the ground with his back against the stone outside the puddle, and there seemed to be something shiny in his eyes.
After a long time, he came to his senses, patted the open space beside him with his hand, and motioned for me to sit down. He looked at the endless lake in front of him and said softly, "Do you want to hear a story?"
I've always wanted to know what the cause of the recent anomaly was, and when he said he was going to tell a story, I already knew it was the cause of his recent behavior, so I sat down and nodded.
Sheng Ku first lowered his head, as if he was brewing something, and then raised his head again, and said slowly,
"You've already seen Venerable Yellow Robe, and you've seen the vicissitudes of life planted in his yard. In fact, you just know that the vicissitudes of life can bloom and bear fruit according to the grower's preference, and never die, but you don't know that it has another role.
That is rebirth.
This kind of rebirth is actually different from rebirth in its original sense. Because it is not to reincarnate itself, but to reunite the original spirit of the deceased in the vicissitudes of life. In other words, this is actually a kind of resurrection of the corpse. The resurrected person has the original primordial spirit, but the body is transformed by the vicissitudes of life. However, this is already a perfect resurrection.
Of course, not all the vicissitudes of life have such an effect, and only three such seeds have emerged in 10,000 years.
Have you ever seen the seeds of the vicissitudes of the sea surrounded by the left and right halves? It's just that the seed with the ability to resurrect is three-petaled. The middle seems to be the heart of this kind of child, and the two sides hug it tightly.
At the beginning, when the Three Realms heard that such a holy relic had been produced by the Yellow Robe Venerable, everyone flocked to it and wanted to ask for it. However, the Yellow Robe Venerable was reluctant to let their three petals separate, and after a thousand years of this, one day by chance, he suddenly discovered that these three petal seeds had actually cultivated their own spirits.
This was the first time he had seen the spirit of the vicissitudes of life. He treasured them even more. Until one day, a demon suddenly appeared in the flower garden. No one knew the true identity of the demon, but the boy who tended to the flower garden saw a mysterious figure in the distance, which seemed to drip a drop of black blood into the pool of seeds.
Then, the figure dissipated into black smoke. When the Yellow Robe Venerable arrived, he found that one of the three-petaled seeds had been infected with demonic energy. If you don't do something about it, you will inevitably implicate the other two seeds.
Therefore, he thought of a way, that is, to let this seed do exactly what it should have been.
A god in the fairy world once received the favor of the bird clan during the tribulation in the mortal world, so the bird clan became a divine messenger. Although he is not ranked in the immortal class, his vitality is pure. It happened that his family had an accident, and his youngest son died when he was just born. The god has always wanted to repay his kindness, so he once came here for the immortal envoy to ask for the seeds of this vicissitudes of life that can be resurrected.
The Yellow Robe Venerable thought that the demonic qi infected by this seed was still shallow, and if it grew up in the immortal envoy's womb, it would inevitably eradicate this demonic qi. So, on a sunny day, he gave this seed to the fairy envoy couple.
However, the Yellow Robe Venerable also knew that these three petals of seeds had actually been cultivated into spirits, and each had each other's memories, so it was bound to become a bond in the future. There are inevitably stories of great joy and sorrow. Although he sighed, he was powerless.
Later, one day, the Buddha noticed that there seemed to be a Buddha's light shooting out of the pool, so he sent someone to take another seed. The Buddha said that if it cultivates well, it will become a Buddha one day. However, the Buddha did not know that the seed he took away would never become a Buddha. Because he has moved his mortal heart, although he has been forbearant and silent most of the time, his heart has always been with the remaining seed. Even if that seed is always thinking about the seed that was taken away by the immortal envoy. However, he still secretly swore that he would silently protect her for eternity and eternity!"
Sheng Ku suddenly fell silent, and I could see that he was very excited, so I wanted to comfort him. I suddenly remembered the illusions I had seen about Songhai Sangtian in the fog, and said with a smile, "I have also seen some illusions that seem to exist and do not exist, as if I am like a seed of Songhai Sangtian!"
