Chapter 193: Lintian District
The heavenly realm is a complete world.
That is to say, in addition to the immortals who step on the clouds and the moon, there are also ordinary people who face the loess and have their backs to the sky.
Above the 10,000-foot firmament, the immortal mountains stand tall, and the heavenly palace is suspended, which is the real 'heavenly realm', and under the firmament, there is the immortal realm, where ordinary people live, who have no qualifications and no ability to go to the 'heavenly realm'.
This is also what makes Sun Wukong and them curious, there are still mortals in the Heavenly Realm?! This is completely different from what they have learned in the Human Realm.
There are a total of one hundred and eight areas in the Immortal Realm, of which there are thirty-six in the Immortal Zone and seventy-two in the Mortal Zone.
Both the Immortal and Fan regions can be cultivated, but the immortal spirit power of the Fan District is much thinner than that of the Immortal District, and the overall strength is lower than that of the Immortal District.
But even so, the strength of ordinary people is much stronger than that of ordinary people in the human world, people here are born with a cultivation equivalent to the Returning to the Root Realm, and in the Immortal Zone, newborns can have a cultivation equivalent to the Resurrection Realm.
The goal of the people of the Fan District is to be able to enter the Immortal District and settle there, and the goal of the people of the Immortal District is to one day be selected by the Heavenly Realm, become a great heavenly soldier, and step into the sky above 10,000 feet.
Lintian District, as the fifth-ranked area in the Immortal District, is usually the object of admiration and stammering in the Mortal District and those lower-ranked Immortal Districts, and it can be said that it is extremely prosperous.
It's just that in recent years, the Lintian District has been silent, and people in other areas have avoided this area, preferring to go around a big circle rather than pass through the Lintian District, because the Lintian District has caused a big disaster.
"Grandpa, I'm so cold, the sun has been going down for six years, why hasn't it come out yet!" In a room in Lintian District, a child was huddled in the old man's arms, and an oil lamp was lit in the room.
Dim lights do not bring warmth to children.
"It will come out, it will come out!" the old man comforted the child, and then waved his hand, one after another fireballs surrounded him, and the temperature rose slightly, but after a while, all the fireballs were extinguished, and the temperature dropped again.
"Today's fireball has been seen, bear with it and wait for tomorrow!" said the old man as he gently rubbed the child's face.
Under the dim light, you can see that the old man is already skinny, and the child is quite strong.
The same situation is happening in other parts of the Lintian District.
In the center of Lintian District, there is a magnificent building, which was once the most shining pride of Lintian District: Mingguang Pavilion.
It's just that now, the Mingguang Pavilion, which has not been extinguished since it was established, has not been lit up for six years.
Although Meng Ziyi had already lit 10,000 candles in the Mingguang Pavilion, it was still to no avail, the light of these candles was always restrained above the flames and could not illuminate the surroundings.
The once most shining building in Lintian District has become the darkest place in the entire Lintian District at this time, at least ordinary people can light an oil lamp or candle or something in their homes.
Meng Ziyi, the leader of the Lintian District, stayed alone on the top floor of the Mingguang Pavilion.
Six years ago, he made a mistake, a mistake that was enough to bury the entire Lintian District.
On the day of the sacrifice of the god Haotian, he missed a sacrifice, it is said that this kind of mistake is impossible to make, and he has presided over the sacrifice thousands of times. Every step, every sacrifice, was deeply imprinted in his heart, but mistakes appeared.
Then from that day on, there was no sun in the Lintian area.
Meng Ziyi knew that this was the punishment of the Heavenly Realm for them.
But what he doesn't know is, what exactly is the end of this punishment?
For six years, he knelt in the Mingguang Pavilion for six years, and he would ban his cultivation for a period of time every day, during which he would cut off a piece of flesh with a knife, trying to seek forgiveness from the heavenly realm with this self-harming behavior.
However, it's been six years.
He didn't know how long the people in the Lintian District would last, and with their cultivation, they would have no problem eating one meal a month.
But with the sun never appearing again, the time in the sky seems to be locked in a sense.
Everyone stopped growing, and the three-year-old six years ago was still three years old six years later.
Moreover, the immortal spirit power of the entire Lintian District is also becoming scarcer and rarer, and everyone's cultivation is regressing.
People also thought about running out, but the entire Lintian District was separated by an inexplicable barrier, and outsiders could enter and exit at will, but the people in the Lintian District would not go out no matter what.
Meng Ziyi believed that this was all the punishment of the heavenly realm.
This punishment is of course harsh, but Meng Ziyi is still a little happy in her heart, since the Heavenly Realm has a punishment measure, then after the punishment expires, everything will return to normal, and the most important thing is that the Lintian District has been preserved.
On this day, Meng Ziyi banned cultivation as usual, then took out a blunt knife, sawed off a piece of meat from his arm, respectfully placed it on the offering table, and then continued to kneel with his head bowed.
Suddenly, a ray of light came in through the window.
Meng Ziyi turned her head with difficulty, looking at the ray of light and was stunned for a long time.
"My lord, the sun, it's the sun!" the subordinate rushed in like crazy, ignoring the ban.
Yes, the sun, through the window, Meng Ziyi could see very clearly, the long-lost sunshine appeared in the Lintian District!
Taking a deep breath, Meng Ziyi slowly sawed off three pieces of meat from her arm again and placed them on the table.
Then bow three times and bow to the offering table.
"Meng Ziyi, on behalf of all the people in the Heavenly District, thank the heavens!"
The people of Lintian District came out of the house one after another, and because there was no sun for a long time, everyone's faces were a little pale.
Ray after ray of light, piercing the darkness, sprinkled on the Lintian District, like the hope of rebirth.
Everyone couldn't help but weaken their knees and knelt on the ground, thanking God.
Suddenly, a strong wind swelled, tearing the canopy apart, and the sun shone unscrupulously throughout the Lintian area.
Everyone began to party.
But soon, people fell silent.
Meng Ziyi, who was bowing to himself, was a little surprised, he heard the cheers outside, but why did the cheers stop abruptly?
With curiosity, I got up and walked to the window, and looked at the dazzling sunlight, and countless figures appeared in the sky.
In the reflection of the sun, those figures are so majestic.
He is a messenger of the heavenly realm!
"Meng Ziyi, a sinner in Lintian District, welcome the immortal envoy!"
With Meng Ziyi taking the lead, all the people in Lintian District knelt on the ground one after another.
With an uproar, what responded to Meng Ziyi was a huge military flag stretched out, the flag was waving in the wind, and a sense of slaughter was coming.
I haven't seen the sun for a long time, which makes Meng Ziyi see things a little ghostly.
Squinted his eyes, and finally saw the flag dancing wildly in the air clearly, and there was only one word on it: Yang!
