Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Sacred Tree Under the Sea
In the second half, the depths of the corridor became more and more open, and at the end there was a huge white hole, which looked a little bigger than the head of a Banzai whale. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
There was light in the white hole, and I couldn't see what was inside the hole.
But Ah Ku could feel the ethereal and sacred aura that spread from behind the cave. Just like the morning breeze greeted at the top of Zhentian Peak, it was cool and comfortably washed every nerve in his body.
Ah Ku's toes couldn't help curling up, looking at the light that was getting closer and closer, and thought: This feeling is the same as the fairy qi felt in the heart wall, no, even stronger than that.
Involuntarily, a longing welled up in her heart.
Would like to see it.
The legendary underwater god tree.
With a hiss, the whale burst through the hole.
Only then did I find that the entrance of the cave glowing with white light was also coated with a layer of transparent foam, which directly separated the inside and outside of the cave into two worlds.
"This is the first shield of the sacred tree, used to prevent the sea monster from entering." Shake the light explained.
As the air shield passed through, the dream bubbles on the four people burst together. Ah Ku was about to hold his breath, but found that behind the air hood was a white sky without gravity.
The sky is surrounded by a clear blue sea on both sides, and at the end of the sky is a cylindrical air shield connecting the two oceans. The whale swam in the white sky towards the air shield at a constant speed.
In the center of the cylindrical air dome, a huge tree of light grows. The light tree floats in the middle of the air hood, emitting a strong white light that illuminates the entire space, but the white light is just right not to make people feel dazzling and blind.
Starlight-like white points of light slowly overflowed from the sacred tree, like dandelion seeds flying in the spring light, floating lightly around the sacred tree. Light singing voices appear and disappear in the air, with warmth and joy.
"The singing of the spirits of the sacred tree...... It's still so wonderful. Shake Light sighed comfortably.
Nanzhen and Jin Lin also looked peaceful. Although it is not the first time they have come here, it has been a long time, and their hearts are shocked when they grow up and see each other.
Among the four, only Ah Ku was keenly aware of the sense of disobedience in the Divine Tree. In her opinion, the Divine Tree not only had an ethereal and warm aura, but also a cold and piercing aura. She was familiar with the ethereal aura, and there was this aura on both sides of the inner and outer sides of the heart wall; She was no stranger to this cold aura, there was one by her side, and the Holy Tomb of Lingshan that she often went to also had the same aura.
That breath was not the immortal aura of the immortals, but the breath of death of the deceased.
Akuton felt strange.
Didn't Nanjin say that the sacred tree protects the newborn soul? Then why does the dead breath of the dead come out?
Is it the so-called newborn soul? Is it rebirth after death?
Aku's conjecture was soon confirmed.
"Look!"
Nan Zhen's exclamation caused the four of them to raise their heads in unison.
Hanging upside down in the sky, still sparkling on the sea level, a pale white meteor broke through the blue ocean and fell directly into the cylindrical air cover. A large number of white points of light poured out from the lush branches of the sacred tree, like a hand, grabbing the meteor with a light blue light, and then welcoming it into the interior of the sacred tree.
"That's the soul of the dead, right?" Ah Ku hesitated for a moment and asked.
Shaoguang replied very directly: "Yes." ”
Ah Ku glanced at Jin Lin and Nan Zhen, and found that there was no surprised expression on the two of them, obviously, they also knew quite well about this sacred tree.
Maybe it was because she looked at Nan Zhen with doubts in her eyes, Nan Zhen was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly realized, and explained: "We people in the South China Sea believe in reincarnation, because the deceased soul will always return to the sacred tree, wash away the mortal dust, and be reborn. That's why I told you just now that the sacred tree is a gathering place for new souls. ”
There was curiosity in Shaguang's eyes: "What? Could it be that the Central Plains region does not believe in reincarnation? Fudu lived next to Nanhai Zhudao, so naturally, he thought that the customs and beliefs should be the same.
Ah Ku shook his head: "Reincarnation is faith." But only for ordinary people. And our reincarnation is not a transit through the sacred tree. ”
Shake the light came to the interest and asked, "Ordinary people? ”
She nodded: "Immortals don't die, even if they die, immortals won't die." Therefore, monastic disciples generally do not believe in the theory of reincarnation. Only ordinary people who have not really come into contact with the Tao can believe it. ”
"Then what is your reincarnation?"
The question is simple: "O underworld, the six realms of reincarnation." ”
Nanzhen: "Difu? Six? ”
"The upper is the heavenly court, the middle is the world, and the lower is the underworld. The heavenly court lives the immortals, and the underworld manages the souls. Although due to the long inheritance of the Immortal Dao, many people understand that there is no Heavenly Court, but there are still many people in the underworld who believe it. This is also related to the indoctrination of the rulers of the thirteen capitals of the Central Plains, and the concept of the underworld can restrain ordinary people from doing evil. And the six realms are the embodiment of this concept. I'm also vague about the specific six realms, probably that good people can devote themselves to good people in the next life, and bad people will have to be beasts or suffer in the eighteenth layer of hell in the underworld in the next life. ”
Nan Zhen shuddered: "Eighteen layers of hell, why does this word sound so terrifying." ”
Ah Ku covered her mouth and smiled, she didn't expect that she would be scared by a fantasy thing.
Nan Zhen's face turned red and defended herself: "I always thought that people would not experience any pain after death, so I was a little surprised. ”
Ah Ku nodded, there were more and more terrifying things in the eighteenth layer of hell, and she thought it was better not to tell her.
After chatting for a while, the transparent cylindrical air shield was also close in front of me.
The Banzai Whale stopped only a step away from the air shield, it was actually the largest of all the fish, but it was also extremely small in front of the transparent air shield that reached the world.
The inside of the air hood is very large, and the Divine Tree is also far away from the Divine Hood, obviously there is only one wall apart, and Ah Ku has not been able to see the whole picture of the Divine Tree.
There was only one glowing white root of the Divine Tree, like a white jade path, lying between the barrier and the Divine Tree.
The air shield seemed to be a barrier, and the head of the long-lived whale rubbed against it, making a "bang" sound.
Ah Ku looked up at the sky and then at the ground.
How do I get in?
Shaoguang stood up and said to the three of them, "You wait for me here." ”
Jin Lin and Nanzhen sat in place, waving their hands, and didn't seem to have any intention of going in.
Ah Ku was surprised: The divine tree is close in front of her, Nan Zhen didn't want to go in to take a look, could it be that this second layer of barriers, not everyone can enter?
It's just that this barrier leads to the heavens and the earth, how can you get in with the light?
She sat still, waiting for Shake Light's next move.
Shake the light and straighten his clothes, nod to Ah Ku, and walked straight through the barrier.
That's right, it's through.
Ah Ku looked at the shaking light strolling in front of the tree roots, and his mouth opened unconsciously.
Nanzhen moved over and explained, "Awesome! This barrier was set up by the sacred tree itself, and it was only possible to enter it if the sacred tree allowed it. It is said that the people who enter are people with the purest and purest hearts, and there are very few people in the entire South China Sea who can receive this honor. ”
Ah Ku turned his head to look at her, and then looked at Jin Lin: "Aren't you two okay?" (To be continued.) )
