Section 391: Five immortals and five insects
"He's not just a few years older, he's probably a lot older than us. Dulau said unconvinced.
Mu Sheng listened to a black line, and it was not easy to fight back, and the old woman smiled: "You little brute, like your father, have a lot of strength, but your mouth is unforgiving, so you have to make the guests angry." ”
Durau's face turned red when he heard this, and he lowered his head and said nothing. Mu Sheng hurriedly changed the topic and asked, "Mother-in-law, according to what you said, the gods lived in heaven that day, but where did the great witch live?"
The look on the old woman's face suddenly became solemn when she heard this, with some resentment and some dissatisfaction and sadness, and sighed and said, "It's us!"
"What, since it's Zuzhou!" Mu Sheng and Tan Taixin couldn't help but be taken aback when they heard this, and the two of them seemed to have known about this for a long time, but there was no expression on their faces.
"That's why I said that the gods broke the pillar of heaven that day, and the benefits outweighed the disadvantages for them, and it was a great deal!" the old woman said this, her eyes full of mockery.
"Mother-in-law, how do you say this?" asked Mu Sheng puzzled.
"The pillar of heaven is broken, the road to heaven is naturally broken, the three races of humans, demons, and beasts can no longer enter the heavenly realm at will, and the resources of the heavenly realm no longer need to be provided to the three clans, and although the gods of heaven are much more difficult to descend to the earth than before, but the gods who really have great skills can still go back and forth in the three realms, and the loss is not the smallest. However, because of the great changes in the vitality of heaven and earth, the Great Witch has lost his previous living environment, and his life has become difficult. ”
Mu Sheng was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then he thought quickly in his mind, and after careful thinking, sure enough, as the old woman said, the loss of the Protoss was the smallest, although this Heavenly Pillar Folded indirectly caused the lack of spiritual power in Shenzhou, but it directly affected the victory of the Ancient War, which was still very cost-effective.
But Mu Sheng suddenly thought of a question, which seemed a little unreasonable, so he asked: "Mother-in-law, I have a question, since the ability of the Great Witch is not worse than that of the Heavenly God, why is the influence of the Heavenly Pillar on the Great Witch much greater than that of the Heavenly God?
The old woman sighed and said, "This has a lot to do with the fact that when heaven and earth were first founded, Nuwa Niangniang created people. Look at the words on the wall. As she spoke, the old woman pointed to a mural on the wall. I saw that the picture in the painting was the scene when the original ancient world was opened, and the woman standing on the top of the sky and the earth in the middle was the great god Nuwa, and there was a couplet written with runes next to it, but Mu Sheng didn't know this rune.
The old woman said: "This is our Ori family text, you can read it to them." ”
"Yes, Ancestor. After answering respectfully, he pointed to the characters on the wall and said word by word: "Heaven and earth, human beings and ghosts, scales and feathers, five immortals and five insects are all things of Zhou Tian." Gold, wood, water, fire and earth, east, west, north, south, middle, the five elements and five directions are all auspicious for the land. ”
When he finished reciting this couplet, Mu Sheng's mind exploded, as if he had suddenly touched something, but he couldn't fully understand it vaguely, and Mu Sheng couldn't wait to immediately retreat and meditate and figure out the joints.
Just as he was thinking, he suddenly heard Tan Taixin ask: "Mother-in-law, this couplet says that heaven and earth, human beings, demons and ghosts, there seems to be no gods and great witches?
The old woman nodded and said, "That's right, these two things in heaven and earth are gods and witches, gods are heavenly immortals, and witches are earth immortals." The great god Nuwa believed that the gods, witches, humans, demons, and ghosts could all reach the realm of immortals through their own cultivation, and that they would not be born or die, and that they would not suffer from reincarnation. ”
Mu Sheng raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and asked, "Hey, are there still immortals on this god?" I always thought that immortals were the same. God dwells in heaven, but where does the immortal dwell?"
The old woman frowned, thought for a while, and said, "Where does this immortal live?" I don't know the specifics, but it is said that the heavenly realm is also divided into many layers, and the immortal realm should be outside the thirty-three heavens." ”
"Tsk, tsk, that's a long way!" said Duraou.
"Since this great witch is known as the earth immortal, he is naturally the most sensitive to the changes on the earth, after the heavenly pillar is broken, the vitality of the heaven and earth has changed greatly, and the landform has also undergone earth-shaking changes. The old woman told this story sadly.
However, he quickly perked up and said, "However, we of the Three Crane Clan have always believed that the Great Witch is not completely extinct, and will one day recover from the healing place and lead us to regain our glory." ”
"St. Margo, St. Marque. Dou Mi and Du Rau shouted in unison.
Mu Sheng was stunned, knowing that the two were speaking in the language of the Bird, but he didn't know what he was talking about. The old woman looked at the two of them and smiled, and said, "Good, good." ”
Tan Taixin asked in a low voice, "What are they talking about?"
Mu Sheng shook his head and said, "I don't know either." ”
Duraou held his head high and replied, "This sentence means victory. ”
"Victory?" Mu Sheng smiled, thinking in his heart how easy it would be to win, but it was good to have a dream. Mu Sheng also wanted to ask the old woman again about the legend of Babao Mountain and Skull Mountain, whether it was also related to the Great Witch?
But I heard the old woman say: "Children, I have been talking to you for so long, and I am tired, so you can step back for the time being." If you want to stay with us for a few days, you will arrange for you, and if you want to go back, you can leave. The last sentence was for Mu Sheng and the others.
Without waiting for Tantai to speak, Mu Sheng hurriedly said: "We are willing to stay, bothering my mother-in-law and my little brother." ”
The old woman waved her hand, and Qi Mi and Du Rawu led Mu Sheng and the two away. A few people came out from the back door of the ancestral temple, walked along the stone steps, up and down along the mountain, and the plants along the way were luxuriant, mostly plantains, phoenix tail bamboos and golden silk nanmu, but Mu Sheng was surprised to find that in addition to these plants, there were also various spiritual materials distributed all over the mountain, as if no one picked them. There are all kinds of blood vines, iron chopsticks, hundred gold bars, white dragon whiskers, blue cloth zheng, earth stars, fruit leaves, black bone vines, flying dragon palm blood, grass black, wind vine, eight-clawed gold, epimedium weed, sea sand, bone incense and so on. In addition to these common spiritual materials, Mu Sheng actually found some rare varieties such as star anise, nine years, golden iron lock, an arrow, fairy peach grass, and qi grass, fungus Ganoderma lucidum and other medicines. It just grows wildly in the wilderness.
Although the medicinal materials recognized by Tangtai Xin are not as many as Mu Shengduo, many rare medicinal materials, Tangtaixin still recognized them at a glance, and couldn't help asking: "There are so many elixirs, do you just put them on the mountain and let them grow freely, and don't pick them?"
