Chapter 509: Immortal Dream
Chapter 509: Immortal Dream
"Myths and legends? Is this what your family book says? Dazhe asked.
"No, it's a comic strip from the front of a storybook I used to read when I was a kid." I say.
"What kind of story is it?" Yun Ning asked.
"A long time ago, legend has it that there was a river called the Heavenly River, and this river was not only a transportation artery in the sky, but also the only way to heaven in the world. It is connected to a certain part of the ocean on Earth, and in it, there are many logs floating on the surface of the water, and humans can use these logs to reach the heavens. Many people want to see the wonders of the Tianhe, but no one has ever been able to find the place where the sea and the sky are connected, so if you want to see the Tianhe, you have to pursue it in your dreams. It was not until the time of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty that he actively sent many people along the seashore to find the place where they connected. ā
"After several years, this place was finally discovered by a man named Zhang Qian. He was overjoyed, and looked around, and saw that the water was blue, as clear as a mirror, and it was refreshing; Large, round logs float on the water, like countless rafts, waiting for those who take them! Zhang Qian then stood on the log, which was as steady as a rock, as if there was a force manipulating it, not only walking on water, but also flying in the sky, and the speed could be controlled by himself. Zhang Qian shook his body, and the log sailed to Tianhe. ā
After some time, it seemed that the sea had come to an end, and he grabbed the front of the log and flew into the air. After a while, he saw a silver river in the distance, flew east, and saw a house made of glass. Inside sat a beautiful woman, weaving cloth. Zhang Qian didn't dare to rush in, so he wanted to fly west to have a look. Flew for a long time. I also saw a glass house similar to the east of the river. As he was looking around, he saw a strong, tall young man leading a cow to the river to drink. Zhang Qian stepped forward and asked politely: Excuse me, sir, what kind of place is this? Why are there only two families at such a distance from east to west? ā
"There are a few families who don't do your business! How did you get here? The young man said politely. I came here by accident, and I didn't mean to infringe on you. Zhang Qian said cautiously. You hurry back and ask Yan Junping of Shu State, and you can get a satisfactory answer. Zhang Qian still wanted to ask again. The young man looked very impatient, turned around, and disappeared. Zhang Qian saw that the river was endless, and he was as small as a grain of rice, and he thought in his heart: How can I survive without food here? The dry food brought with him is almost finished, so he will not spend it here waiting for death. It's better to go back as soon as you have something to eat and are full of energy, and report to the emperor, and I can be regarded as having paid a bad deal. He thought again: Strange? How do the people living in the east and west of the river sustain their lives? Could it be that they are all immortals? While thinking so. While driving a log, Luffy went back when he came and went. ā
Zhang Qian sat on the log, I don't know how long it took. Finally back to the beach. I saw that the shore was crowded with people, and the cheers resounded in the sky. Zhang Qian was in a cheering atmosphere. Meet Emperor Wu and report the incident to Emperor Wu in detail; Emperor Wu listened with relish. Asked: The place you went to is probably Tianhe, right? Zhang Qian replied: The young cowherd I met in that place said that when I went back and asked Yan Junping of Shu, I would know what place it was. So, Emperor Wu sent people to Shu to find Yan Junping. It turned out that Yan Junping was an astrologer, who knew astronomy and geography. After listening to this, he said: Congratulations! The two people Zhang Qian met, the female is the Weaver Girl, and the male is the Cowherd, and he has actually completed a trip to Tianhe! ā
When I finished the story, everyone listened quietly and nodded.
"Maybe this log is just a metaphor, could it be that the entrance to this heavenly realm is actually a fake log bridge?" Yun Ximing said.
"Whether it was inspired by the legend to build this log bridge, or whether it was originally a log bridge that was said to be a log is true or false, no one can confirm whether it is true or not." I say.
"But one thing can be confirmed, it seems that this Zuo Ci's desire to become an immortal was finally shattered." Uncle Lu said.
"The immortal family pays attention to pure heart and few desires, and no matter which faction, you must be merciful, not murderous, Zuo Ci used extremely cruel means to take revenge on those who killed his sweetheart, he has broken the killing ring, and has hatred, he can't let go of the love in his heart and can't get rid of the ****, such a person, it is impossible to rank in the immortal class, even if he is talented and has learned a lot of spells, what is the use, in the end he can only be known as a half-immortal." I say.
"Yin Yin, when you talk like this, it really means that you don't eat the fireworks of the world, you won't cultivate into an immortal one day, and you will ascend to the sky." Dazhe said.
"I'm a mortal fetus like you, even if I am feathered, I can only become a ghost, and I guess it's no fun to become an immortal." I say.
"But aren't you an enlightened person that the Kui family has never met in a hundred years?" Min Lan said.
"True and false, false and true, I have long been unable to distinguish between the true and the false. The pursuit of the Hi clan is just to give me and my grandmother an explanation, but the wish of several generations. In the end, what kind of mission does our family have, and whether there is such a so-called mission, the answer is getting closer and closer to us. I said.
"Let's take care of the present for now, let's see which way we go." Dazhe said.
"Let's go, the scenery over there is even better." Uncle Lu said, so everyone followed Uncle Lu across the log bridge, and sure enough, on the stone pillar at the other end of the log bridge, the words "Heavenly Realm, Log Immortal Bridge" were engraved.
"Different is different, it's called Humble Bridge over there, and it's called Xianqiao here." Dazhe said.
"Cultivating into an immortal, according to the theory, is a qualitative change, so becoming an immortal is often a matter of an instant, but the previous process of quantitative change is very long. Therefore, as long as the quantitative change is accumulated enough to meet the needs of qualitative change, it is not impossible to become an immortal after crossing a bridge. Yun Ximing said.
"Look at all of you are going to become immortals, this is, all the words are in one set." The great philosopher said, "You are so knowledgeable, but tell me, what is this big arch?" Dazhe said, pointing to the arch in front of him.
In front of us was a huge arch, resplendent in gold, and the height of this tomb was about several stories high, and this arch was so high, I don't know how it was built in the first place. The golden arch, at a glance, the golden light is rolling red, and the rui qi is spraying purple mist. The blue and heavy color turned out to be made of colored glass, and the bright pretense on it was all made of precious jade. Not to mention anything else, just talking about this Nantianmen is already a lot of money. There are bronze people on both sides, and there are dozens of marshals of Zhentian, one member of the top beam and the pillar, holding the milling support, and more than a dozen gold-armored gods below the four, one by one holding halberds and hanging whips, holding swords and swords. Supporting the entire huge arch are several large columns, on which are entwined with golden scales and a red bearded dragon, and there are beams, on which are circled with colorful feathers and red-crowned phoenixes. The bright glow reflects the sky, and the blue fog covers the mouth. Looking inside, there are gold-swallowing stable beasts everywhere, and there are jade unicorns. On all kinds of star platforms, there are all kinds of famous flowers; By the furnace of alchemy, there is evergreen embroidery grass. Looking up, you can see three big characters above the arch, Nantianmen.
This is the South Heavenly Gate, the South Heavenly Gate was called the Heavenly Gate Pass in ancient times, because Mount Tai represented the heavens in ancient times, so the top of Mount Tai is considered to be the location of the heavenly court. There are four heavenly gates in the heavenly court: east, west, south, and north. This gate faces south, so it is called the South Heavenly Gate, and it is also the main gate of the Heavenly Court. Yun Ximing said.
"In myths and legends, Nantianmen is the entrance to the human world and the fairy world, and most of the stories in myths and stories are related to the human world, so Nantianmen goes the most. It seems that Zuo Ci can't become an immortal, so he built his tomb into a model of the Heavenly Palace. I said.
"Speaking of models, I think these here are more like them, come and see, what is this?" Yun Xian had already walked into the South Heavenly Gate and said inside.
We all hurried over, saying that we were coming over, but in fact it seemed that there was no road in this place, and there were round pillars under our feet that were close to each other but not connected, and there were lamp beads on the pillars, and night pearls for lighting were placed, and the rest of the place was water. From a distance, these pillars actually looked like a ladder in the heavenly realm. There are four things Yun Xian said, and at first glance, it looks like the sand table placed in the sales center where the house is sold, but these sand tables are different.
"These are sand tables, but also models, it is said that there are four continents in the four directions below the Nantianmen, I'm afraid there is no way to make this thing real, you can only use a reduced sand table, it is expressed." I said, "You see this is the east, and it is also the bottom of the earnings, and below is the southern Ganbu continent, which is the eastern land of the Tang Dynasty, that is, the territory of the great power of China." To the west, below the West Sea, belongs to the West Niuhe Continent. There are monsters rampant, the place is barren, and everyone is Buddha. To the north, below Beihai, belongs to Beiju Luzhou, which is not Zhou Mountain. Back then, Gonggong was angry and touched Zhou Mountain and collapsed the sky, which led to the mythical story of Nuwa mending the sky. To the east, below the East China Sea, belongs to the Dongsheng Shenzhou, which is a forest of fairy islands, among which there are ten continents and three islands are the most famous. That fairy island is the cave where the scattered immortals live, according to the Book of Mountains and Seas, those fairy islands were originally carried by the big sea turtles, and a few turtles were fished by a giant country, so they sank two, and the remaining one is called Penglai, and the giant country offended the emperor because of this matter, and was punished by the body to shrink to the size of ordinary people. I said.
"It seems that this Zuo Ci is quite immortal and wants to go crazy, he makes such a tomb, isn't this a small model of Qin Shi Huang's tomb." Dazhe said.
"Don't worry about it for now, let's take a look separately, if there is anything wrong around, if not, we still have to move on, time waits for no one." Uncle Lu said solemnly.
"Okay, let'sā" I heard a scream before I could finish my sentence. (To be continued.) )
