Chapter 2: Ancient Beasts
"In ancient times, the god of Fuxi discovered the method of defying the sky, the way of cultivating immortals, and spread it widely. Originally, the aura in the world was already showing signs of weakening, and people absorbed a large amount of the earth's aura, causing the aura to quickly dry up. When Fu Xi noticed this, he stopped teaching the method of cultivation to others, and ordered those who were already cultivating to keep it a secret.
Originally, those people who cultivated the truth were not as smooth as Fu Xi, many of them fell into the devil's path, I heard that Fu Xi no longer taught people to cultivate the truth, and thought that what Fu Xi said about cultivating the truth to achieve immortality was just a scam, otherwise how could someone be so stupid to share such a good thing? In a fit of anger, many people gave up the path of cultivation, but fortunately, the speed of spiritual energy depletion was slowed down, and it happened to be this time that allowed Fu Xi to become a god in this world where spiritual energy was thin.
As the guardian gods of the human world, the ancient divine beasts naturally cannot leave the earth, but there is too little aura in the world, and the cultivation of these divine beasts will retreat if they do not advance, and if their cultivation falls, the world will lose its balance. Fu Xi set up a spirit gathering array for the four divine beasts, so that they could continue to guard the balance of the world. In order to avoid unnecessary panic caused by ordinary people, Fu Xi selected a stronger family among those who still insisted on cultivating to guard the divine beast for generations.
These divine beasts are surrounded by a spirit gathering array, and the fact that the cultivator family can enter the spirit gathering array is naturally helpful to the improvement of the monk's cultivation, so they obey the agreement and guard the divine beast for generations. One of the ancestors of the Shangguan family became an immortal, and he was naturally selected as a guardian, you must know that although there are many monks, there are only more than ten people who can become immortals since ancient times! And I am the next generation of the Shangguan family. We're going to go to the divine beast that our family guards now, maybe it will have a way to save you. "Although no one has succeeded in thousands of years, he will try as long as there is a glimmer of hope.
Song Ying is the kind of person who is extremely calm in trouble, even if she dies, she feels nothing, her brother said that he will find a way to save her, even if he really can't save her, as long as he can stay by his side all the time. However, she didn't know that people would go to the underworld by themselves within an hour after death, and then they would send someone to judge the good and evil of their lives, and give them time to avenge their grievances, and then they could take revenge for their grievances. This is the so-called good and evil will be rewarded in the end. But a soul like her, who was forcibly left behind, would be beaten to pieces by the laws of heaven and earth! ――
Shangguan Zhenhua looked up at the sky where he couldn't see his fingers, obviously there were no clouds to cover it, but no stars flashed, and the sky was as dark as the deep sea, making it difficult to breathe. The whirlwind blowing towards the sky blew more and more violently, sweeping an object that could be rolled up on the earth and throwing it into the depths of darkness.
A vision from heaven is a blessing or a curse! Thinking of the persistent grandson who wanted to go against the sky, he was angry, infatuation is not this kind of infatuation, regardless of life and death, how can the dead be resurrected! This kind of thing is not allowed to happen in this world, as the patriarch of the Xiuzhen family, he clearly knows that without out-of-body cultivation, there is no way to escape the control of the laws of heaven and earth.
But since Sun Tzu wants to go against the sky, how can he stand by and watch? It is better to let him do it and know that it is not feasible than to leave him with regrets at nothing. Hey, I hope I can escape the punishment of the laws of heaven and earth. Shangguan Zhenhua looked at the village that had been emptied the day before, and was afraid that someone would sneak home and see what he shouldn't see, so he decided to inspect it before his grandson came back.
The wind was blowing so strongly, there were so many trees around the village that there was no open space for the helicopter to land. And the closer he got to the village, the stronger the wind became, and Shangguan Yunting had no choice but to take Song Ying's body to parachute around the village, while Song Ying's soul floated behind him. The helicopter driver wanted to find an open space to land, but it was so easy to find a clear space near it with either trees or mountains, and after hovering in the sky for a while, he was swept by a whirlwind and hit a mountain not far away. Shangguan Yunting didn't know about the accident that happened to the helicopter, he was concentrating on mobilizing his aura to resist the wind, drifting towards the center of the storm, the wind in his ears sounded like hundreds of lions roaring, and he couldn't hear other sounds at all!
Looking at the trees and houses in the village that had been destroyed by the wind, Shangguan Yunting's heart was very scared. What if she can't be saved, she will be disillusioned if she continues like this. But it had come to this point, and it seemed impossible to turn back, so he had to try his best to keep her by his side no matter what! This time I won't let her go again no matter what.
Although Shangguan Yunting was very calm on the surface, his heart was trembling violently, he was afraid, afraid of losing, afraid of failure, afraid that his selfishness would harm Song Ying, but more than that, he was unwilling. How can God gently erase Xiao Ying's ordeal like this, at least let him know who kidnapped her back then, at least let him have the opportunity to slash the enemy! If Heaven doesn't even want to fulfill this little wish, why should he stick to the rules? It is said that the way of heaven cannot be violated, and today he wants to go against the sky!
Shangguan Yunting's originally wavering determination was restored, and he looked at the deep pool in front of him, his eyes shining with determination. With his extraordinary eyesight, he saw the clear water pool, which was as still as a mirror even in the center of the wind explosion. Qinglong must have rested in the pool as usual.
In this night when she couldn't see her fingers, the light emitted by Song Ying as a ghost was unusually bright. Shangguan Zhenhua saw this light from a distance and sighed again, this little rabbit cub still used heaven after all! Hey, children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, this is all fate! He can't do that much. Shangguan Zhenhua shook his head helplessly, lifted his breath and flew towards the light.
Standing on this familiar land, recalling all the things in her childhood, Song Ying felt sad, and hurriedly tightened the person next to her, she seemed to be the only one left, should she be happy?
"Senior Qinglong, for the sake of my Shangguan family serving you so wholeheartedly for thousands of years, save Xiaoying! Qinglong seniors, seniors-! Although the wind was howling, it couldn't blow away this heart-rending roar, which obviously added a lot of aura. Shangguan Yunting knelt in front of the pond and pleaded in an almost humble voice. How could he, a small monk, shake the powerful Heavenly Dao, all his bets were on this dragon that had been guarded for thousands of years.
The pool in front of him didn't make any waves, Shangguan Yunting became more and more panicked, according to Qinglong's temperament, it sat back and ignored him, and he couldn't do anything about it. It's all to blame for his recklessness and failure to communicate with it beforehand, but suddenly he didn't have time to communicate with it. Now that we have reached this point, what should we do, do we really have to change from saving people to harming people?
Shangguan Yunting looked at the calm water in front of him, his heart seemed to be tightly pinched by a big hand, and the whole person was a little panicked and it was difficult to breathe. He threw himself on his knees and bowed again and again towards the deep pool. Seeing him look so humble, Song Ying was very distressed. She tugged at Shangguan Yunting's clothes and tried to pull him up, but she couldn't pull him at all.
The cultivator opened the eyes of heaven, and he could see clearly even in the dark, so when Shangguan Zhenhua flew here, he saw his grandson kowtowing vigorously, and his head was about to break, the old man was so distressed! Speaking of which, this is also to blame for instilling those thoughts in him, and even more blame for him for playing with the **** that Miao Jiang brought back.
This kid is already smart, and he has only talked about the use of this **** once, but who knows that he turned around and used it on the two of them. Hey, the cycle of cause and effect, retribution is not happy! This **** is possessed, one person dies, and the other person will die within seven days! Let's go! If you fight this old bone, you have to help your grandson this time, otherwise, without the next generation of heirs, the Shangguan family will also suffer heavy losses, and more importantly, this grandson has been brought by himself since he was a child, and if he wants to watch him die, then he would rather die by himself!
The undercurrent at the bottom of the pool is surging, and the water surface is also turbulent, which is the Qinglong feeling the breath of Shangguan Zhenhua, churning and emerging from the bottom of the pool.
"Wow-" Qinglong came out of the bottom of the pool, grabbed the edge of the pool with his front feet, stretched his neck and yelled at Shangguan Yunting: "Hurry up and let her go, you will hurt her!" I can't save her, your grandfather should have made this clear to you, right? As a monk, you should know that the destiny of heaven cannot be violated, why are you so confused! Zhenhua child, hurry up and bring your grandson back! Noisy Lao Tzu sleeps! Qinglong's face was full of impatience, thinking about how the people of the Shangguan family were more unreliable than the other, and he asked Lao Tzu to save people every three or five days, and Lao Tzu was not a god, even if it was, it would be impossible to resurrect the dead!
Song Ying had never seen this kind of monster, the head alone was the size of a buffalo, the nostrils were turned outward like a cow's nose, the whole face looked like a horse's face, the two amber eyes were still glowing with golden light, like two big lanterns, and there were two horns on the top of the head that looked like branches. Although it spoke, its mouth never opened! I have to say that Song Ying was really scared, although she was a little mentally prepared for this "monster" that suddenly came out, she was still shocked by its strange appearance. Moreover, it said that the brother would harm her? How so?
"Senior, my grandson doesn't listen to persuasion, and the old man can't help it, he said that he must try, otherwise he will not be willing even if he dies, I can't help it......" Shangguan Zhenhua nodded and apologized, and looked at the ancestor in front of him with a weak heart. This person's temper is not ordinary, but for the sake of his grandson, no matter how big his temper is, he has to resist it!
Shangguan Yunting kneeled in front of Qinglong, kowtowed vigorously, and shouted loudly: "Please save her, please save her......"
Looking at her brother's appearance, Song Ying was really distressed, she really wanted to say that she didn't need to ask for it, it really didn't matter, she was dead anyway, what could be more tragic than death? It doesn't have to be that way. Looking at his humble appearance, it was even worse than killing her! However, she was only a ghost, and she could not touch anyone except the people who left her, let alone speak. Seeing that she couldn't pull Shangguan Yunting, she silently walked to the front, stopped Shangguan Yunting behind her, and resisted silently.
Seeing this little girl glowing all over her body blocking Shangguan Yunting behind her, Qinglong's doubts became even greater—didn't she know that she was about to disappear? Looking at her calf-like movements, as well as the eyes, there is a hint of disdain in her perseverance, coupled with her thin little body, people can't help but feel distressed.
Of course, as a divine beast that has lived for so long, more tragic things than this have also been encountered, and after seeing more, there is not so much emotion. What's more, the suffering in this life comes from the sins of the previous life, and some of them also bear the responsibility for the elders in the family, so such people are not the kind of people who are worth feeling sorry for! If you want to blame it, you can't blame others for not accumulating yin virtue in your previous life, or the misbehavior of the elders in the family.
Shangguan Zhenhua had been watching Qinglong's expression carefully. The grandson begged so lowly, but it was unmoved, saying that it did not hate at all, which was impossible. He walked over slowly, trying to pull up the uncompetitive grandson, but a shocking thunder flashed in the sky, and he slashed straight towards Song Ying.
Qinglong's "whoosh~" flashed this thunder, just kidding, this is a heavenly punishment descended by the laws of heaven and earth, and if you are hit by it, you will have to peel off your skin if you don't die!
Shangguan Yunting wanted to get up and pull Song Ying away, but he didn't want to be pulled away by his grandfather before he touched her, so he could only watch the thunder hit Song Ying's corpse, but fortunately she escaped relatively quickly in the form of a soul. But the lightning strikes one after another, even if the soul has the ability to teleport, I'm afraid it won't be able to avoid the pursuit of these lightnings!
"Grandpa, let go of me, I'm going to help her!" Shangguan Yunting yelled at his grandfather
"Help her? How can you help? Take a good look, it's thunder! You're only building your foundation now, what can you do to help her? It was the green dragon who was an ancient divine beast, and he hid far away when he saw the thunder. Do you really think that you can fight with the heavens? "Shangguan Zhenhua is furious, this kid is so ignorant!
Hearing Grandpa Shangguan talk about her brother like this, Song Ying felt very sad, Grandpa Shangguan used to be very good to himself, how could he say this? Sure enough, people's hearts are the most cold! But it's okay for him to pull his brother, and he doesn't want his brother to be in danger.
Originally, the thunder was in a hurry, and Song Ying's distraction was immediately entangled by the lightning like the roots of a tree! Just when they thought she was going to be wiped out in the next moment, a huge black hole appeared behind Song Ying, engulfing her in an instant! As soon as they reacted, they saw thunder and lightning in the sky, but there was no lightning falling again. Like a hunter who has lost his prey, he wanders in place for a while and then leaves.
Is this what is called heavenly punishment? It's horrible! Especially that black hole, it swallowed Song Ying in one fell swoop! None of the people present had ever seen the Heavenly Punishment, and they thought that the pitch-black hole was just a step in the Heavenly Punishment. Qinglong, who had experienced the punishment of heaven, fell into contemplation over there, which way did the great god come to help? After a while, though, it learned the answer.
The bag that originally contained Song Ying's body was split into rags and scattered on the ground, and the corpse inside was punished by the heavens, and it had long since turned into a light smoke and disappeared between heaven and earth. Looking at the qi qi in front of him, Shangguan Yunting's face was full of disbelief, how he hoped that this was just a dream, and when he woke up tomorrow, Xiao Ying was not dead, and he had not used the heavenly calculation! Oh my God, what did you do? Xiaoying is obviously dead, why did he forcibly leave her behind? It's all my fault that she's like this, and it's all because I've killed her! God, give me another chance! Let me make up for this selfish mistake! Shangguan Yunting sat on the ground in despair, his eyes hollow.
Seeing the decline on his grandson's face, Shangguan Zhenhua couldn't help but worry, but in this case, he really didn't know what to say. He took his grandson into his arms and gently patted him on the back. Shangguan Yunting, who was in his grandfather's arms, finally found an outlet for his feelings, and all the bitterness and unwillingness in his heart fell silently on this land with tears.
Song Ying opened her eyes and looked around, where the hell is this? What about lightning in the sky? The sky is also clear, the sun is shining on her body, it is warm, but no matter how Song Ying looks, she can't see the shadow of the sun. Song Ying, who couldn't resist her curiosity, got up from the ground, she wanted to know what kind of place this was, because there was only blue sky and no white clouds in the sky, only sunlight and no sun?
Song Ying was dizzy as soon as she got up, because she saw that she was standing on the edge of the cliff! The cliff is surrounded by a vast sea of white clouds, and from here you can see the blue and white sky at a glance! Isn't this a place higher than the sky! Song Ying was afraid that she would fall, even though she was a ghost, but she had never forgotten her fear as a human. Quickly took a few steps back, and as soon as I turned around, I saw a towering tree! The tree was really large, and except for the small piece of land where he stood was not shaded by its shade, the meadow, which was almost larger than his village, was shrouded in its canopy.
What the hell is this place? How did you get to this place? What about my brother? What about Grandpa? Even if the green dragon is here, this is good! I looked for a way out of here, but found that the land under my feet stood like an island in the sea of clouds, and there was no way to go down!
"You're awake."
"Who? Who's talking? ”
"Don't care who I am, come and talk."
"Where are you?"
"You can see me if you go around that tree."
Nonsense! I didn't even notice anyone on it when I found my way just now! She only dared to think about it, the other party didn't know who anyone was, and it would be bad if she accidentally provoked him. Obediently walked behind the tree, and sure enough, he found a man sitting with his back to him.
The old man's fairy wind bones, a navy blue robe fluttering in the wind, and a silver thread like snow. He was writing something seriously, because it was facing away, Song Ying couldn't see it, she just felt strange, why didn't she see him just now? Could it be that he is the same as himself・・・・・・
Before she could think wildly, the old man spoke: "Little girl, let me ask you a question, tell me the truth about what you think in your heart, is it okay?" ”
"Grandpa, you ask. If I knew, I would have told the truth. ”
"Then do you think it's hard to live?"
"Bitter ・・・・・・" When the old man heard this, his subordinates paused, but what Song Ying said next made him pick up the pen again. "But there are bitter and sweet, and I care more about the friendship between those people than the pain I suffer!"
"Do you believe in fate, then?"
"I believe that man will conquer heaven."
The old man seemed satisfied with her answer, and with a wave of his left hand, he sent her back to life.
Little girl, I hope you can take responsibility for today's answer! The old man put down the pen, a life word on the pure white paper, but he saw the power of vigor in the dragon and phoenix, which shows that the calligrapher has a deep foundation. Looking at this word, the old man's smile became even stronger, hundreds of times, this word, it is the first time that it is written so well, this little girl is a blessed person, and there are people who can sacrifice themselves for her so simply!
