The smoke curls up, the smoke ripples, like a dream, it is a good time for winter to spring. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
When Xiao Jingyu walked out of the door, he saw Fang Cheng sitting on the stone pier next to the canal in front of the door, holding a dog's tail grass in his hand and spinning in circles.
"Breakfast is on the table" Fang Cheng didn't look back and said in a low voice.
"Oh, what are you looking at?"
"Fish in the river, birds in the trees, and clouds in the sky"
"You're very laid-back, aren't you?"
"Well, I forgot to tell you yesterday, in fact, I prefer here, if there is an afterlife, I would prefer to be a tree"
"What's so good about trees?"
"The life of a tree is doomed from the beginning to the end, its sky is only so big, so there will not be too many extravagant hopes" Fang Cheng seemed to sigh "People are because they have too many desires, so they can't live this life." ”
"Alas, how can you look like an old man" Xiao Jingyu glanced at him in surprise, but he didn't expect that Fang Cheng was still a "philosopher".
He shook his head, "Just some recent thoughts, where do you want to play today?" ”
"Can I go boating?"
"Then I'll get a boat, and we'll go find the source."
Fang Cheng searched all over Tianyao Peak yesterday but couldn't find the origin of the aura, so he felt that there might be something to gain from the Jiangwan Reservoir.
"Okay" Xiao Jingyu was also very excited.
At this moment, it is the spring river heating, if you can find a small boat, swimming in the blue waves, it is really a great joy in life.
An hour later, deep in the Jiangwan Reservoir.
A small wooden boat shuttles from one canyon to the other, swimming against the current.
Xiao Jingyu noticed that Fang Cheng had an extra short sword in his hand, but it was the one they had inadvertently hooked when they were fishing.
Fang Cheng probed the broken east stream into the water, carefully sensing the direction the aura was coming from.
As the number of aura nodes collected increased, the aura flow trend map in the entire reservoir was clearly reflected in his mind.
Fang Cheng really found a lot of interesting things from it. He finally understood why Duan Dongliu appeared here.
"Would you like to go into the water and see?" Fang Cheng suddenly asked.
"Huh? It's not the season to be able to swim yet, I remember ...... June and July," Xiao Jingyu was stunned when he heard this.
Fang Cheng smiled evilly and grabbed her hand.
What follows is the familiar feeling of whirling and the powerful oppressive force brought by space.
When Xiao Jingyu came to his senses, he found that they had appeared in a cave.
The soil under his feet was damp and sticky, and Xiao Jingyu found that his shoes had sunk into a shallow layer of mud as soon as he landed.
"Where is this?"
"Underwater, of course...... Well, a thousand years ago this should have been a grain storehouse. ”
Fang Cheng didn't know where to get a searchlight and illuminated the surrounding environment.
After a thousand years, the vicissitudes of the sea, the mountains and rivers have been diverted, and everything here is different from before.
"Ahem, the smell here is too strong......" Xiao Jingyu couldn't stand the miasma accumulated over countless years.
"Let's go in and have a look" Fang Cheng pulled Xiao Jingyu into his arms, refreshing the air within three feet of him.
Xiao Jingyu's mind was a little calm, and she looked at this cave house with curiosity.
There are many reliefs and murals carved on the walls, and judging from the contents, most of them are "abundant grains" and "autumn harvest and winter storage".
Following Fang Cheng's footsteps, he continued to move forward, and soon came to the end of the road.
Xiao Jingyu saw a three-meter-high brass sculpture, probably because of its age, the entire sculpture was already green and rusty, and it was no longer clear that it was unrecognizable.
"Knock knock" Fang Cheng stepped forward with his sword and gently knocked on the bronze sculpture, making a crisp and pleasant sound.
"Do you know whose sculpture this is?"
"The God of Grains or the God of Wealth?" Xiao Jingyu speculated wildly.
"It's Qingyuan Miaodao True Monarch Zhao Yu," Fang Cheng saw his origin from the inscription.
Zhao Yu was originally the Taishou of the Sui Dynasty, and after slashing the dragon, he was relieved and returned to the field, and he made meritorious contributions to the management of mountain floods several times, and praised the people.
During the Zhenzong period, Yizhou was in turmoil, Zhang Qianya was ordered to enter Shu to govern, and there was a request to Zhao Yu, and afterwards the Song Emperor posthumously named him "Qingyuan Miaodao Zhenjun".
"Isn't Qingyuan Miaodao Zhenjun the Erlang God?" Xiao Jingyu was surprised, but he didn't expect to see his sculptures in such a place.
Fang Cheng nodded: "Erlang Zhenjun was originally a folk hero, but he became a great god only after being praised by later generations and processed and created by people who read books...... All the gods in this world are probably born in this way. ”
This reminded him of the multiverses that Chen Yanqing had visited, where gods were born in people's praise and beliefs, and eventually ignited divine fires, but enslaved the mortals who provided for them.
Once the power and the life and death of all beings are grasped, even the gods will decay, fall from the clouds, and become "rulers".
"It's a pity that the Qingyuan Miaodao True Monarch has fallen after all" Fang Cheng had already discovered that there was no trace of the existence of the spirit on this golden body.
Duan Dongliu trembled slightly, as if responding to Fang Cheng's words, although it was an invincible divine sword that cut off time, it was a pity that it still couldn't escape the fate of the previous masters who disappeared in time.
The so-called pearl is dusty, nothing more than this.
Fang Cheng poured true qi into the broken east flow and calmed it down a little.
Then he reached out and dug a hole in the bronze surface, and sure enough, he found a copper box from the inside of the sculpture.
Opening the copper box, Fang Cheng found that a golden talisman as thin as a cicada's wings was wrapped in silk.
Over the centuries, silk has weathered and crumbled into a cloud of dust when touched.
He picked up the golden talisman and looked at it, and found that the front of the golden talisman was carved with a dragon, and on the back was a line of ancient Song characters: "I am Zhao Houshen"
"This is a bit interesting, maybe it can help you practice" Fang Cheng handed the golden talisman to Xiao Jingyu.
She wiped Fang Cheng's sleeve with some disgust before casually putting it in her pocket.
"The legacy left by Zhenjun lies in this small golden talisman, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the true inheritance of Taoism" Fang Cheng saw that she didn't pay much attention to it, so he opened his mouth to explain.
Xiao Jingyu understood Fang Cheng's intentions at this time, and looked at him with some emotion, such a valuable thing was easily given to her.
"You pour in the true qi and try"
"Good" Xiao Jingyu cherished the golden talisman in his hand and operated Vientiane True Qi.
As soon as Vientiane's True Qi was poured into the Golden Talisman, Xiao Jingyu felt a stream of heat pouring from the Golden Talisman against the direction of the True Qi's operation.
In just a moment, Xiao Jingyu felt that his cultivation had increased a lot, and it was even better than practicing for many days.
"It's really a good thing," she looked at Fang Cheng with some excitement and handed the golden talisman back to him, "But you should be more useful, right?" ”
Fang Cheng didn't take it back, "With my current realm, the help of external things is dispensable, it is more important to you...... If you want to become a real person within 10 years, take it. ”
Xiao Jingyu no longer shirked, she also hoped that she could achieve success in her cultivation as soon as possible, and be a pair of immortal couples with Fang Cheng and enjoy the world.
