Chapter 6 Pixiu
The green pine is upright, the white stone is silent, and at the foot of the pine stone, the waterfall hangs high.
The towering and turbulent stream rushes straight down, hitting the boulders under the waterfall, making a crisp and pleasant sound, and the babbling stream banks are full of peach blossoms on the left bank and green bamboos on the right bank. The water brings the mountain breeze, blows the petals of the flowers, and the bamboo leaves fly and dot the stream. The scene here is very similar to the mountain residence of the last days, but here, it is the place where the sect master of the Qianzong sect and Li Motian often comes.
"The mountains are steep, the forests are lush and the bamboos are cultivated; there are clear streams and turbulent currents, reflecting the left and right, leading to the flow of the winding water, and the second place is sitting. Although there is no silk bamboo orchestra, a song is enough to tell the romance. - "Preface to the Orchid Pavilion Collection"
Li Motian sat on the top of the Lan Pavilion by the stream, and used a gourd to scoop up a scoop of stream water, which happened to be a petal and a bamboo leaf, floating in circles around each other in the scoop, like twin stars lingering in the night sky, and like an esoteric Taiji diagram. Li Motian gently took a sip of the stream water, which was extremely sweet and intoxicating. He put the scoop aside again, turned his head to look at the pavilion, there was a stone table in the pavilion, two stone benches, the body of the bench was carved with cloud patterns, and the table top was carved with a chessboard, and at this time the white and black sons on the chessboard were fighting fiercely. The person who holds the son is only Li Motian. The white chess style is peaceful and peaceful, step by step, but it is very similar to Li Motian's character, but the sunspot has been in danger many times, as if walking on the tip of a knife, which is very different from Li Motian's personality. Li Motian's elegant grip fell like a chessboard, white and black were staggered, and his expression also switched back and forth with the black and white chess pieces, as if there were really two people playing chess, which was very strange.
"Phew, I've finally found you. β
Suddenly, a crisp and pleasant female voice sounded, and for a while there were birds chirping in the mountains, as if echoing this female voice.
Li Motian put down the son he was about to fall, and turned his head to look at the person who spoke up, wasn't it her baby daughter, Li Yuyan. Li Motian's whereabouts are difficult to find, but his daughter loves to find his whereabouts, which makes Li Motian slightly helpless, most of the time Li Motian still succeeded in making Yu Yan unable to find it, but this time unfortunately, she found it. Yu Yan smiled, like peach blossoms blooming on the shore.
"Alas...... What about Elder Hongying?"
"The old man went back to retreat. β
"That's one of the few founding elders in the sect, and you have to use honorific titles when you meet in the future. β
"The old man said he liked me and called him old man. β
β...... You came to me, what's the matter?"
"Woo~ It's not easy to find, tell me a story, the kind I told when I was a child. β
"Good. Li Motian looked at her dotingly, and his eyes looked at the distant sky.
"Last time, I talked about the ninth son of the dragon's nine sons, this time, let's tell the story of Pixiu. β
"It's the origin race that eats people and doesn't spit out bones?"
"Pixiu is not as kind as you say, it is a greedy origin race, they want to devour everything except themselves, whether it is living beings or utensils, they will not let go, that is their nature, it took me so many years to understand the mystery of things and space, but Pixiu can build space in his belly from birth, take things apart and stack them, become countless times smaller than the original and store them in that space. This is nothing short of a miracle, and apart from the dragons, they can even be said to be the most favored race. It's a pity, they got the talent, but they can't grasp the proportions, the greedy nature makes them endlessly devour everything, even devouring their companions, the number of Pixiu is rapidly decreasing, and as they begin to devour their companions, their lifespan is constantly shortening, and other origin races initially took sanctions against it, but I didn't expect it...... In the end, it was the Pixiu clan that sanctioned themselves. β
"Huh? they put themselves... Eat it all!"
"Almost, devouring one's own kind is much faster than devouring other things, because the same kind itself has devoured many things, which is why they devour to the end, willing to eat only one kind, and already feel disdain for other things. But you know what? There is a limit to the power of space that any living being can control, just like I can only open up so much space if I have cultivated to the point where I am today. β
"That's why Qianzong is only so big. β
What do you mean by "only"...... In short, the space in a Pixiu's stomach is limited, and the compression of things also has a limit, so if you keep swallowing it, you will always exceed that limit. β
"So they're killed?"
"It's understandable, but it's more serious, every Pixiu, when they reach the limit of their devouring, the space will explode because it can't be accommodated. β
"Will they spit out what they eat?"
"On the contrary, a huge number of things will be highly condensed into a singularity, which has an extremely powerful attraction and will continue to devour ...... this world. β
"This race is reallyβ"detain to death," huh? I ask why do you use that word?"
Yu Yan pursed her mouth, Li Motian glanced at this precious daughter, decided not to let her interrupt again, and finished speaking in one go.
"This is the end of greed, this speed becomes faster after devouring companions starts, and even because I don't know how much my fellow clan has swallowed before devouring, it is likely to directly exceed the limit after devouring. I don't know why, even if the end is so tragic, the Pixiu people still refuse to give up, they are not so much favored by God, but cursed by fate. The entire Pixiu clan, except for one Pixiu, all died under their own greed. β
"There's another one. β
"That's right, only that Pixiu, since birth, devoured the three brothers who were conceived with him in his mother's womb, and successfully absorbed the space in their stomachs, which made its space four times that of ordinary Pixiu, and when it devoured to a certain extent, it finally learned to refine and process the things in its body, using metal and stone tools as its body and the spirit of living beings as its soul, and created many strange things. Later, it became the king of the Pixiu tribe, although it was a lonely king, but it single-handedly supported the civilization of the entire Pixiu tribe. β
"Is it still alive now?"
"Hehe, no life can beat time, and it finally died, and before it died, it built a huge mausoleum for itself. β
"Then there must be a lot of treasures in its mausoleum!"
"I'm just telling you stories, these are legends, don't think about girls all day long. β
"But what you're saying is true, it's like...... I saw it with my own eyes. β
Yu Yan's eyes at this moment were exceptionally ethereal and clear, but Li Motian smiled indifferently, as if the sky was unfathomable.
"If someone really finds that mausoleum, I don't know if it's a blessing or a misfortune. Well, the story is over, and it won't be so easy for you to find next time. β
As soon as the words stopped, Lin Motian's figure disappeared in front of Yu Yan's eyes out of thin air, but Yu Yan had long been accustomed to it, so she just pursed her lips and muttered a few words secretly.
The babbling stream, with peach blossoms and bamboo leaves, flows to the southwest.
......
"It's, it's incredible!"
The person who sighed was red-haired and bright as fire, it was Yan Fei of the Yunyuan team, and at this time, the Linyuan team had already entered the pyramid, and the scene in front of them surprised everyone.
Originally, they imagined that this pyramid mausoleum was either magnificent, all made of gold, with countless gold coins and jade-encrusted crowns on the ground. Either it was eerie, dark, not even a candle, and the gloomy walls were filled with terrifying bats or even more terrifying monsters, but neither of them, but inside the pyramid, there was a blue sky, a green field, an expanse of emptiness, a red sun hanging high, the sky was clear, and the wind was smooth, so that people could not imagine that this was inside the dark stone wall of the pyramid.
But although such an environment gives everyone a full sense of security, in other words, there is nothing here, only green grass and blue sky, and nothing else.
"Will the treasure be buried underground? Get out of the way and let me dig it up. β
Zhu Junjie shouted.
"Wait and see if you can see any mystery in this. β
Yun Yuan calmly waved his hand to stop him.
"I've always felt that the space here is a lot bigger than it looks from the outside. β
Xiao Mengliuye's eyebrows were slightly furrowed, holding his chest with one hand, and gently pressing his chin with the other, Zhu Junjie drooled when he looked at him thinking. Yun Yuan glanced around and found that it was indeed as Xiao Meng said, the space inside the pyramid was much larger than estimated from the outside. Snake Nai and Yan Fei both nodded in agreement.
"Could it be because it's brighter inside?"
Yan Fei proposed a possibility.
"No, although the brightness increase will make the space look wider, the increase is limited, and the difference is obviously not just due to the brightness. Pixiu has the ability to form its own space, maybe we are ...... now. It's in its own space. β
"You're saying we're ...... right now It's in the belly?"
"You don't look so flustered. β
"Of course, I think I was swallowed into my stomach by a lot of vicious beasts back then, but my brother has a big life, and every time I can turn evil into good fortune. β
"I guess it's because you're not easy to digest, so you're spitting it out again. β
"You!well, you guessed it......"
Zhu Junjie spread his hands helplessly.
"Do you think there's something wrong with the sun?"
Yun Yuan asked abruptly, everyone shook their heads, this sun looked no different from the sun outside, the same hanging in the sky, dazzling and impossible to look at.
"Look closely at where it is. β
When everyone heard Yun Yuan's words, they all looked towards the sun, and sure enough, everyone was surprised to find that the position of the sun had changed significantly from when they just entered, and the sun was still nascent in the east when they first entered, and the time for the Lin Yuan team to enter the pyramid was less than a quarter of an hour, and the sun was almost overhead. This makes everyone very strange, yes, in reality, the sun is also constantly moving, but it is difficult to detect this change with the naked eye, but the sun in the pyramid can be seen to be moving slowly with the naked eye.
"Obediently, can this Pixiu not only change space, but also time?"
Zhu Junjie let out another exclamation.
